three minutes and so we are on the edge of the precipice every single day what's more terrorists could hack into the early warning systems because they're all computerized or they could take over the missile silos we have access no unprecedented access to a world literally a world of information and there are places on the internet there are sites that you can you can look at and you can evaluate for yourself over time how well their analysis fits with what's happening in world around you i would listen to the news coming from other countries even the b b c news is much much broader in its focus than the american news when i wrote the new nuclear danger i looked at why we're in such a mess papers you know they just click to predation pretty good that they're mostly propaganda and ideological organizations representing the right wing which is big government spend for you you have no right to have medical care free no you're not i have no right to have free university education i went to the medical school in adelaide it was free didn't pay a penny for six years turned out to be an excellent doctor well i saw it myself and shouldn't as my mother would say so these organizations believe in socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor and so that all the text has money goes into lockheed martin and out so they really propaganda wings for the military industrial complex and they have for first strike winnable nuclear war which is america's policy not first strike winnable nuclear war peace through strength and massive pentagon budgets they're also very much governed by the messages that are being delivered the themes that are being stressed by the white house and congress and it is not there's not been in the interest of this white house to stress  how their nuclear weapons policies have been undermining our efforts around the world to persuade other states not to pursue nuclear weapons i think it's a male thing i think i do i think you know you see a little boy's mind's bigger than yours sort of thing it's the same thing and it's sort of primitive and it's so inappropriate and the fact that fifty three percent of us are women and we don't do anything about it it's inappropriate also france's got apparently or that fifty percent of all people running for country that they were in and around the world i'm saying enough already we've had enough of the chemical polluters you really can crack down on them but you don't want to but you need to and we really do demand an end to nuclear proliferation and to nuclear power and to actually they've got to get involved people have got to get involved these things i think to the average american seem to be kind of far away and so the conversation about nuclear proliferation nuclear weapons dangerous shifted to those types of problems and so the concern of the american public public has as also shifted but i think it's very important to take a look at the very  the relationships between the u s policies the actions of other states and the overall comprehensive approach that we need to take to deal with the nuclear threat yes nine eleven has hardened the threat of nuclear war a because was here on nine eleven i went across the country in a greyhound bus and the whole country was draped in flags and it was god bless america everywhere and i thought well what's this about you know what about a stray or what about any other country this is only five percent of the population that's arrogant and it offends me and it's patriotism and patriotism nationalism is now inappropriate because it always leads to war two wars since then you know probably fifty thousand innocent people being killed gents i mean even reagan behave this way with all of his extreme emphasis on the military and he's threatening with nuclear weapon he did a lot of things which were very dangerous in my view and an  honest view of reagan's administration would see some advantages but lots of things that people forget about like the iran contra business which were very very bad and really at right angles to values as well but even the reagan administration understood the importance of behaving well at least toward our traditional friends we're not even doing that anybody who doesn't behind that when they blow up the bomb the man who designed it sleeps in the days that night along with the mechanisms that will block a bomb on the ground he sleeps with it he talks about labor pain and the need to push before the bomb explodes and he talks about postnatal depression after the bomb explodes that's a very very significant thing so they wish they were women but they giving birth to death not a life now i don't know where this comes comes from in the middle psyche but it needs to be investigated because it's clinically sick and these men must get a deep the new nuclear danger they use to describe their weapons so i think they do it from a much deeper psychological perspective and gaining power or being frightened i don't think they're frightened one little bit of seeing that the science is absolutely fascinating and they lose you leave massive quantities of waste around nuclear waste for the rest of time and it really reminds me rather of doctors that we will do an operation and leave a hell of a mess in the operating room and then those this cleanup and so the scientists of created massive quantities people don't like me saying that but it's time they were disciplined and the time the lads were closed that those brilliant minds and they are brilliant minds put to work working out how to remove the nuclear waste from the e what they're doing but combined with databases generated from tests of reentry shields for nuclear weapons data from test to reentry shields for manned space capsules to design and validate containment for space nuclear systems labs called the jasons what they really doing is building nuclear weapons and having an absolute ball doing it so it's been dubbed the second manhattan project i've been negotiating with the original people who did the tech study the societies if any still survive that much of the always on will be destroyed in the northern and some southern hemisphere which will blind or unprotected  us heading towards annihilation i think that if america continues what it's doing now that my prognosis is that based we met might make it for the next twenty years but it was just we've got less than ten years to survive in fact we got t temporary suspension of the constitution we could probably go into a state of martial law for as long as the emergency lasted you may notice that we've come very close that already i think that the mechanisms are very much in place through the homeland out that i think that it depends on the government that's in charge at the time i suspect that so long as we have a lot of wars going on that it won't be that difficult to institute temporary martial law i think the second thing that would happen after the suspension of civil rights would be a total control of the news media by the government and that would not necessarily be open i think that i think the media would cave completely which would be a sort of one thousand nine hundred four situation where people would be brainwashed into thinking that everything was all right that the government was in control of the situation even if cities blew up every now and then look at what we're doing to the enemy i think we're really prove our eyes on them so we're going to win this thing sooner or later whoever's  iraq and iran and north korea these people are virtually mad and you could play upon that and say mutually assured destruction i mean that's what they're actually ent and certainly the testing of nuclear weapons especially atmospheric nuclear weapons testing nike hercules institute revealed a study showing that iodine one thirty one releases from atmospheric nuclear weapons testing at nevada had been one hundred thirty million curies more than fifty thousand times greater than the releases from the chernobyl accident the high fallout areas were spread out all over the country from idaho and montana to kansas and iowa to new york and vermont in the course of pursuing the cold war the nuclear weapons establishment poisoned much of the u s milk supply and did nothing to protect it at the same time declassified documents reveal that the government had provided secret data to kodak and other photographic film companies so that they could take measures to protect film from becoming fog as a result of fallout today as the u s nuclear weapons establishment prepares to test again the national academy of sciences is looking into whether people should be compensated due to the mill contamination and if so how many a conservative senator bob bennett republican from utah is playing a role in slowing down the rush for testing according to his website he has proposed legislation that will prevent the resumption of nuclear testing without approval by congress extensive environmental and safety analysis and open public involvement if this law is passed it will be difficult or impossible for the united states to resume testing unless some other country does it first one of the problems with the radioactive contamination issue is first of all worlds got contaminated from radioactive fallout from weapons testing above ground you end up in the atmosphere and that wasn't banned until nine hundred sixty three and the reason that it was banned was because they were beginning to see that it was affecting the children it was showing up in the baby teeth and in the bones amongst f c m one thirty seven and strontium ninety c c m one thirty seven migrate to muscle in other words if it gets into the tissue of a cow and people eat beef you know they're going to ingest the c c month test the milk for radioactive iodine it's done four times a year the children they didn't deserve this they really didn't deserve nobody deserves but the children on the wildlife they didn't deserve this they didn't deserve what they got people don't understand lineker companies which is wicked we're talking about global warming which is changing the climate as i speak and about nuclear power which will change god's creation every new buildings there should be a solid building facing south tectonic theory of social change i think what happens is we build the pressure in the right direction changing the right direction we do it with a lot of individual actions small actions barger actions letters to the editor pieces contributing to organizations that are pushing a more progressive agenda or a different vision of america that sort of thing we build the pressure  right to our people in congress even if their viewpoints are very antagonistic to our own little knew from you know let them they are representatives with they like it or not that we don't agree with them we should make it clear there are people out here who don't agree with what they're doing we build up pressure on the plates and the thing is until the pressure gets to the key point there's a turning point with tipping point it looks like nothing is changing you can look at the earth and say nothing's different from what was happening fifty years ago one hundred years ago there but then the earthquake occurs because something is different it's just not visible yet i think social change works the same way you build up the pressure and you have to stay home because it looks like nothing is happening but something is happening the pressure is building up and some day we create that movement of the plates that sudden change and people will say how is it that america changed all of a certain today and the answer is it's what we've been doing over the last thirty years twenty years or forty years or longer that hague's so i think if you look only for signs of progress on the surface you may often miss the most important phenomena but it's very hard to be hopeful and to keep working at it when you don't see things going in the right direction on the surface but believe that it can happen because that is how it happens pressure builds that's hell part tide disappeared in south africa that's how slavery disappeared in the united states that's how the civil rights movement succeeded they built up pressure for a long time it looked like nothing was going to change and then suddenly there was an earthquake i think that view of the world will help us to keep our eyes on the prize as the civil rights movement used to say eyes on the vision of america as we wanted to be the world as we'd like it to be and to do what we can each of us individually to little good few pounds per square inch to that pressure and let it build up until we make the change that we need in this
