Father Bix Anti-Nuke Sunflower Seed Lore

ONCE UPON A TIME during the 2009 Disarm Now Plowshares Action Father Bix and Friends cut through security fences and made their way over the course of many hours across the massive Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor in the dark of night on their way to the Strategic Weapons Facility, Pacific.  That is where the United States Navy stores the thermonuclear warheads for the missiles that are carried on its nuclear ballistic missile submarines.  Plowshares Action purpose?  To spiritually/symbolically disarm the weapons stored on the navy base – turning them “from swords into plowshares.” (see companion comic zine by Tinkertopia here)

Nuclear Weapons are Illegal, Immoral

Along the trek across the naval base, the five (5) brave souls including Father Bix planted sunflower seeds so that with a bit of sunshine, ANTI-NUKE SUNFLOWERS would one day grow in the place dedicated to the murder of upwards of millions of people and quite possibly the end of civilization as we know it on this our PLANET EARTH.
