WHY AT OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE (AFB)?
Offutt Air Force Base has served as the home of our nation’s nuclear weapons targeting and command headquarters for over 56 years. Formerly the Strategic Air Command, after the end of the Cold War the command headquarters was expanded to the Strategic Nuclear Command (STRATCOM). While there are no nuclear weapons stationed at Offutt AFB, STRATCOM is the operational command center for all land, air and sea strategic nuclear weapons systems. No nuclear missile silos can be activated, no Trident Submarine can set sail or B52 Bombers fly without STRATCOM'S approval. STRATCOM at Offutt AFB holds the whole world under a threat of global nuclear annihilation every day, every hour, every minute of the year.
As if the targeting of 8,000 nuclear weapons were not horrific enough, on Oct. 1, 2002, the US Military Space Command was added to this hellish mission. With the addition of the US Military Space Command, the STRATCOM command facility now has the mission and ability to initiate and direct what it calls "Full Spectrum Global Warfare." That means the Pentagon can now wage war at any point on the earth's surface in a 30-minute time frame directly form Offutt AFB. From nuclear weapons to direct control and command of clandestine secret military missions, the people at STRATCOM have a direct hand in it all!

The DM and Omaha CW communities invite you to make your Christmas celebration complete and join us as we explore the often ignored and deeper meaning of the season. Using the Gospel of Mathew’s infant narrative, we will examine the links between King Herod, his killing of the innocent children in Bethlehem and the murderous deeds of US backed modern day Herods. The Herods of Jesus’ day were backed up by the Legions of the Roman armies. Our modern day Herods are backed up by the USA Global Military presence and Offutt’s Nuclear and Space Commands. Come and help us expose, confront and convert our country’s God-awful nuclear weapon’s operational headquarters and its War in Space Command through this prayerful three day retreat and witness at Offutt AFB. This years retreat takes place in the basement of St John’s Church on Creighton University campus at 2500 California Plaza, Omaha NE. Directions to Creighton U. here -
