money in the countries going to military which of course need to defend ourselves from anybody who under a bush administration is pursuing new ideas for the for nuclear weapons that might involve using nuclear weapons against non nuclear states or in situations that began as non nuclear conflicts i think the first result would be suspension of also full rights and the temporary suspension of  constitution it would probably go into a state of martial law for as long as the emergency last august sixth nineteen forty five in hiroshima japan gods that's a very significant thing to compare a nuclear weapon to a god and i don't think many people really understand that and also the telegram to the president were not necessary because of built because of hitler and hitler was defeated six months before the hour used in japan japan was negotiating a peace treaty through the russians soviet union with america at that time of save three cities in japan and those people became nuclear guinea pigs they used two of the cities hiroshima and nagasaki but not the third it was highly questionable about whether they even needed to use it i mean first time physicists have been sinning ever since after the second world war they became enemy fanaa apparent reason at all except that i think a huge military industrial complex is created in this country during the second world war and the people who ran  race the bomb that took place during world war two which involved russia the united kingdom germany and united states created a momentum in each of those countries to build the bomb and the cold war rivalry between the united states and the soviet union inevitably led both of these states to be suspicious of one another and inevitably the russians finished their nuclear weapons development program by the fifty's and i think it's  on the guinea pig plea that on xrays that psychology persisted for fifty years and we're still suffering from the aftereffects of that situation because we still have not gotten past the cold war thinking that drove the development of these these nuclear weapons missiles to deliver them and we still have about twenty thousand nuclear weapons today there are still more on basically a h trigger that could be fired within a few minutes of an order to do so even though the united states and russia are really no longer enemies but the weapons from their antagonistic an still do exist both before that america was a relatively peaceful nation with very few armaments so that's the background of this country which is really a wonderful background but it got on the wrong track after the second world war orchestrated it had nothing to do with fear but fear was used as a propaganda making this to say that the soviet union scary and they were going to invade europe no look bad but if you read about propaganda in this country since the end of the first world war focused right it by mental aid would be and i was sigmund freud's nephew who i am it he probably told me he taught women how to smoke i said how he said i dress them in beautiful green dresses i put them in pages the unions it was communism that the workers whereas freedom equal capitalism equals democracy equals god and there the techniques that were yours and had and consistently are used upon the american population so that they don't think they have any rights and that you know a corporation should make billions of dollars into it takes money so now can be the pentagon spending up to half a trillion dollars a year on weapons to kill america has no safe enemy and i and that the propaganda is the success of the social engineering of the american mind that there is no outrage that the money is being stolen from them from iraq by lockheed martin and boeing who are going to militarize space for national missile defense up you know build weapons to a cows come home and there is no free health insurance schools and so on and we're going to do that there's even a name for that it's called starving the beast and it goes back to david stockman the budget director for the reagan administration who conceded that that's what they were trying to  military spending is completely unproductive economically i might begin by saying that that's not that idea is not original with me adam smith the father of capitalism who wrote in the bible of capitalism the wealth of nations initial military was entirely an unproductive operation from an economic point of view so the problem is military spending pulls resources that is labor and talented engineers and scientists and badgers and facilities and equipment into an activity that economically unproductive think about it what military industry does with the military does this not add to any one standard of living when you produce consumer goods you had the people standard of living they have better cars they have better television sets and so on when you produce the tools for industry the machinery and equipment they need to make the cars and televisions and the furniture and so on you're adding to the standard of living that's what the economy is about it's the part of society that adds to material well being military spending doesn't do either of those things it doesn't provide us with tools for industry to make other things that we need and it also doesn't provide the kinds of goods and services that add to material well being it doesn't have people it doesn't close people in the general population it doesn't produce a fighter plane could be used for transportation but that's not what it's designed for it's the design for military purposes military industry produces goods and services that are valuable to the mission of the military but that's very different from the mission of the economy which is to reprove people standard of living so if you think about it that way all of the economic resources the labor the engineers and scientists machinery the factories that go into military related activity don't add anything to economic value within the country and if you do a lot of that kind of activity for a long time you don't stimulate the economy you want to write well the whole world is in danger because the pentagon's got got such massive weapons which they will use with nuclear weapons or conventional weapons in any country that i so desire i mean america went into iraq not because of his saying his son worked for the cia since he was twenty one he was an american puppets he was by the americans with chemical happened in iraq iraq was a wonderful country with some hospitals excellent universities the women had pretty good rights too and now it's being disseminated and that the whole country is up for grabs the corporations are in th and i have to pay any tax a mostly merican corporation stealing everything i mean how does country do that and they're not going to get out yet people are being killed so what the hell you know they want the oriel this is one of the most wicked things i've seen in my lifetime and i'm of the current administration is remarkable i wrote a book in one nine hundred ninety nine it was about human fallibility and dangerous technologies i use the title  arrogance meaning that it was arrogant to believe that probably human beings could control extremely dangerous technologies without disasters and it was a lethal form of arrogance what i didn't realize was that it would passable at some point to write a book with the same title lethal that arrogance about the behavior of the bush administration the second bush administration i want to make clear the second bush administration in this world they are arrogant they believe that they can manipulate organizations like the un when it's to their advantage but ignore them when it's not they have been packing more people in this world than any other  administration i can think of i travel abroad not frequently but often enough and i have never encountered so much anti american government feeling that anti american not against me against idea that because we are militarily powerful we can dictate terms to the rest psychologically i think in the u s military establishment there still is a fear or a concern that the other state my choir a military advantage with nuclear weapons the reality now as it has been throughout the nuclear age is that there's really no such thing as a a military advantage with respect to nuclear weapons because the capacity of killing with these weapons is so massive that a difference for a few  taken a very fundamental new look at their nuclear arsenals the role of nuclear weapons after the end of the cold war there are those in the united states military and the bush administration in the to whoever argue that there still is a need for nuclear weapons in the post cold war age i would disagree i would say that there is no practical military will for nuclear weapons in any sort of conflict the united states or russia is likely to face for the next several decades there is no more threat of a land war in europe when the u s and russia are between united states and china is also  indicates that you know they're locked in nuclear weapons the fact that most life on earth can be decimated by the nuclear weapons seems not to enter the hit and the sign on the russian side military men are really strange i mean i had a dear friend who was an admiral he said hello mission in the pentagon is to destroy property and kill people i mean how dare they if we don't stop killing now we're going to blow up the planet as weapons will be  our work for example of maintaining nuclear weapons is a central piece of our nuclear and overall military strategy has encouraged hardliners in these other countries to see nuclear weapons as instruments of power or important elements of their own security strategy
