The anti-nuclear movement must strengthen its transitional aspect to become really effective. The current world financial systems are much involved in what is termed the shadows within which trillions of dollars are laundered. Diamonds and gold are used to get hard currency in order to pay for war efforts. Much money is being made in the process, e.g. Silicon Valley profits from the Angola war. One third of the U.S. economy is seen as being in the shadows .
Big money buys political power and business people are involved in the transnational process.
The Indigenous people in the world are united by their spirituality and love of the Earth. They are also among the most oppressed and exploited people in existence. Copper and gold are mined from their lands without compensation while nuclear waste is dumped there. The mining has caused water pollution resulting in cancer and deaths, as well as species eradication. Many native people have been tortured and killed, and their sacred burial grounds have been violated in the name of progress.
