- Silo Pruning Hooks
November 12, 1984 Carl Kabat, of the Plowshares Eight and
Plowshares Number Seven; Paul Kabat, an Oblate priest from
Minnesota; Larry Cloud Morgan, Native American and mental health
care worker from Minneapolis, MN; Helen Woodson, mother of eleven
children and founder of the Gaudete Peace and Justice Center from
Madison, WI; entered a Minuteman II missile silo controlled by
Whiteman Air Force Base in Knob Noster, Missouri. Once inside the
silo area, they used a jackhammer and air compressor to damage the
silo cover lid. They then offered a Eucharist and left at the silo
a Biblical and Native American indictment of the U.S. government
and the institutional church for their complicity in the pending
omnicide of nuclear holocaust. They were arrested close to an hour
after their action by armed military guards authorized to use
"deadly force" against intruders. Following their arrest, they were
declared by the court to be a "threat to the community" and were
thus held on "preventive detention" and denied bond.
