Photographs of peace activists at the Visionary Vermont Festival

The following photographs were taken on Saturday, October 13, 2001, at the Visionary Vermont Festival. The festival was held behind the Robert Hull Fleming Museum, located on the University of Vermont campus. Photographs are of speakers, projecting from the steps of the museum using a solar powered PA system.

Here are the original files, untouched. Watch out they are large.

Originally it was located here: http://www.peterson.af.mil/usspace/visbook.pdf but if not there anymore, you can grab a copy from us.

Duane Peterson discusses how big business benefits from bogus defense programs like Star Wars and National Missile Defense. He also explains how only the high-tech military industry benefits, and not the American public funds the programs, rather than support under-funded public services.
