The symposium, titled “The Reliable Replacement Warhead Program and the Future of the U.S. Nuclear Weapons Complex,” was made up entirely of paid Sandia shills and the National Nuclear Security Administration. Andrew L. Ross, a UNM poli-sci professor and director of the campus’ Office of Policy, Security, and Technology, claimed in a pre-event press release that the panel would be a “broad-ranging discussion of [the] potential implications” of the RRW.

That it was not, and Anderson began speaking up loudly when it was over, asserting: “You are talking about genocide!” Moments later, he was forcibly removed, handcuffed, and dragged away by police to the Bernalillo County Detention Center.

Anderson has been charges with battery of a police officer, and his trial is set for November 30th. In effect, he committed an unauthorized act of free speech at a public university, and the hyper-militarized UNM campus is attempting to punish him to the fullest extent possible for it

The connections between Sandia, its manager Lockheed Martin, and UNM (or the “University of Nuclear Murder,” as it has been referred to) run deep. The Stop the War Machine web site contains many of the details.
