Patrick O'Neill, Kings Bay Plowshares 7, codefendant from Garner, N.C., Fr. Charlie Mulholland Catholic Worker, father of 8, grandfather of 2, speaks on the Climate Crisis emerging as the new existential threat to humanity. He says, "We cannot stop global warming until we stop militarism. Militarism is the major primary contributor to global warming. They have the most significant carbon footprint in the world. They use the most petroleum of any entity in the world. Global Warming equals Global Militarism. They can't be separated. If we want to survive as a species...we have to learn to honor one another, honor the earth, and honor all living beings."

Nearly 100 supporters of the Kings Bay Plowshares 7 gathered on August 6-9 in Southeast Georgia to fast and vigil at the Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base. The base is home to 6 US Trident nuclear submarines and services 4 others from Britain. On August 7th, the KBP7 codefendants and their attorneys argued against the dismissal of pre-trial motions using RFRA (Religious Freedom Restoration Act) before a Federal judge in Brunswick. They stressed the omnicidal capacity of the Trident Fleet and the clear necessity of sacramental action. On-site supporters included actor/activist Martin Sheen; large numbers followed the events from elsewhere in the U.S., simultaneously observing the 74th Anniversary of the US bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Judge Lisa Godbey Wood set the trial date, starting with jury selection on Oct. 21, 2019.
