Martha Hennessy is one of seven Catholic plowshares activists who entered Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base in St. Maryâs, Georgia on April 4th, 2018. They went to make real the prophet Isaiahâs command to âbeat swords into plowsharesâ.
The seven chose to act on the 50th anniversary of the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who devoted his life to addressing what he called the âtriple evils of militarism, racism and materialism.â Carrying hammers and baby bottles of their own blood, the seven attempted to convert weapons of mass destruction. They hoped to call attention to the ways in which nuclear weapons kill every day, by their mere existence and maintenance.

Would you like to:
1. Download all or part of the Essential Dissent archive in a few clicks via my OneDrive account?

3. Download episodes that have disappeared from R4A?
4. Access extras such as conference journals which give more detailed information re the presenters, panels and sponsoring organizations?
5. Continue doing all of the above even if R4A becomes defunct?
Send an email to wvought at gmail dot com, requesting the archive link. Include Essential Dissent Archive in the subject line.
If you’re affiliated with a radio station, please tell me your radio station’s call letters and the name of your show. If you’re a podcaster, please tell me the name of your podcast. And if you’re an end user who just wants to stream or download some interesting audio, that’s cool too.
The link will give you access to the Essential Dissent archive (including all subsequent episodes) for as long as the archive is available on OneDrive. (If I ever have reason to change the link I'll send you the new one.)
A big advantage of this system is that if R4A ever stops working or vanishes altogether, I’ll still be able to post new episodes to the archive, and you’ll still be able to download them. In that case I'll send a notification when I post a new episode (but you can opt out of receiving notifications at any time).
You are welcome to share the link with others, but since I will then not have their email address they will not receive notifications, nor will I be able to send them a new link should that become necessary. It’s best to have them contact me and be added to my email list.
No spam, no fee, no BS, and I’ll remove your email address from my list upon request.
