A position that mocks the warning of History. Morally Outrageous!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">As urgently noted here before: a small, shrinking circle will make the ultimate decision "to Launch" - killing all of us, "indiscriminate slaughter" on a global scale.</span><br />

THE SAMSON OPTION!<span style="font-size: large;">PLANS TO DETONATE A NUCLEAR BOMB IN SINAI IN 1967</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">On this 50th "anniversary" week of the Six Day War, we learn that the Israeli government and military had a top secret plan to explode a Nuclear Weapon on a mountain top in Sinai.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Scrapped at the last moment when Israel's pre-emptive attack against its threatening neighbors turned into a lightning rout and a four-fold expansion of the State of Israel.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This recent "reveal" confirms what the world has known for decades - that Israel possesses a lethal Nuclear Arsenal.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This "Samson Option" implies the willingness of the Israeli government to obliterate the<i> entire Middle East and itself</i> if that is the last option available - an option to be exercised in either preemption or retaliation.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The biblical Samson pulled the columns of the enemy's temple down on himself in order to destroy that enemy.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">For riveting and detailed coverage of the Samson "suicide" option: See author Ron Rosenbaum's book: <i>How the End Begins</i>, Chapter 7: "The Second Holocaust, Israel, and the Morality of Nuclear Retaliation." Rosenbaum warns that "The Road to a Nuclear World War III" may well run through the State of Israel.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Last October, 120 countries voted to proceed with formal discussions on the proposed Treaty at the UN.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The talks are to decide and vote on "a legally binding instrument to prohibit nuclear weapons toward the goal of total elimination."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Obama administration voted "No!"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, in a clear indication that the Nuclear Weapons Industry is in charge no matter who sits in the Oval Office, the US throughTrump appointee UN Ambassador Nikki Hayley, is calling for <i>and leading </i>this outrageous, immoral boycott.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Their position is that We, the people, of the US and the world should <i>not even be allowed to discuss </i>this Urgent Life And Death Issue in a global forum.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ambassador Haley made the moral miscue of chastising those governments that favor the Treaty talks: "...are they looking out for their people?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>
<span style="font-size: large;">She even dusted off the old canard that such thinking (a Nuclear Weapons Ban) is "unrealistic." Seventy plus years of kicking the Nuclear Armageddon can down the road and this is still their argument.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">POPE FRANCIS sent his message of support for the Treaty talks:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"an ethical and moral exercise in hope."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In opposition sits a small circle of Nuclear Nations foreign ministers and ambassadors who represent an even smaller, <i>unelected</i> and <i>unaccountable</i> circle of officials, who allow <i>only themselves</i> to make these ultimate decisions for all of us.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">That circle ultimately shrinking to one individual - a President or Prime Minister - who will, ALONE, decide whether or not to Launch - thereby committing the Omnicide of Humanity and of all unborn future generations.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The bills would prohibit POTUS from launching a world-ending Nuclear First Strike without a Congressional Declaration of War - as <i>required by our US Constitution</i>.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This legislation is introduced while the Bulletin of Atomic scientists has reset the "Doomsday Clock" to two and a half minutes until Midnight! The closest the clock's hands have been to Midnight since 1953 and the advent of the world's first hydrogen/thermonuclear bombs.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The legislation has the strong support of former Sec of Defense William J Perry who stated that launching a First Strike "would likely bring about the end of civilization", "a decision that momentous... should have the checks and balances called for by the US Constitution."</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">The award-winning documentary will show in detail the near loss of the state of Arkansas due to a mishap in a Nuclear Silo in September 1980.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Such catastrophic threats are still with us unless and until Nuclear Weapons Abolition is achieved in our lifetimes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We cannot keep hoping that nothing... Nuclear War, Accidental Launch, Miscalculation...will ever happen. It only takes one such event to destroy humanity and the world.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">ABOLITION IN OUR TIME</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">RESOLUTION L.41- just passed by the UN General Assembly on October 27 orders the convening of a March 2017 Conference to negotiate a legally binding treaty <i>prohibiting</i> Nuclear Weapons. THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED. The successful adoption of the resolution, despite US and Russian Federation objections and opposition (the two nations own 90% of the world's Nuke Stockpile) was the result of the other nations and people of the world crying out "ENOUGH!" to the continued threat posed to their existence by the Nuclear Armed Nations. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">That accord signed by Reagan and Gorbachev is the 1987 <i>Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Agreement</i> that bars the introduction of new intermediate range (300-3,400 miles) Nuclear-Capable missiles most likely to be deployed and USED in Europe.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The US itself plans to build and deploy a Long Range Stand Off (LRSO) Nuclear-Tipped Cruise Missile. It can be launched more than 3,000 miles from its target!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There is NO WAY for the "other side" to determine if the missile is carrying a Nuclear warhead or not.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">In a recent post here, we noted that Candidate Clinton has expressed doubts on deployment of this dangerously destabilizing new weapon.</span><br />

(Escalation euphemistically called "modernization" by its proponents.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Also, this month Mr. Putin suspended Russia's cooperation in disposing of his nation's plutonium stocks - the core of almost all Nuclear Warheads.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Taubman calls Mr. Robin's book "a withering indictment of the Wohlstetters and their influence on defense policy."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The husband and wife RAND Corporation analysts championed the Cold War policy of MAD (<i>Mutual Assured Destruction</i>) which still influences our Nuclear Posture and theory today.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Taubman notes: "White House or Kremlin miscalculation would have left millions dead, nations destroyed and the planet reeling."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">WORSE, Albert Wohlstetter "pressed for a nuclear war-winning policy."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Yet, the POTUS often decried as a "war hawk", Ronald Reagan, warned:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"A Nuclear War cannot be won and must never be fought."</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">At a February fundraiser, Candidate Clinton<i> privately </i>"expressed doubts" about our nation's moving forward with its 30 year trillion dollar creation of a new generation of World Destroying Nuclear Weapons and their computer-driven, highly complex, incredibly expensive delivery to target systems.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">She also staked out a position (again, <i>not on the record</i>) against the proposed new Nuclear-Tipped Cruise Missile aka Long Range Stand Off missile, LRSO:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"<i>The last thing we need are sophisticated cruise missiles that are</i> <i>nuclear armed</i>."</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Andrew Weber, former high-ranking Defense official, called the new missile a "particularly destabilizing, dangerous type of nuclear weapon."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Clinton praised former Sec of Defense, William J Perry, for speaking out against the Nuclear Weapons threat, and in particular the LRSO, stating that the more he speaks out publicly "<i>the better</i> <i>off we'll be in really trying to cut this off</i>."</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">She also appeared to question the necessity for the Nuclear Modernization program: "<i>This is going to be a big issue. There's a</i> <i>lot of money we're taking about to go into refurbishing and modernization</i>."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Clinton also mentioned being open to exploring new Nuclear Weapons Treaties with Russia beyond 2010's New Start which she helped negotiate.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">She continued: <i>"Do we have to do any of it? If we have to do some of it,how much do we have to do? That's going to be a tough</i> <i>question....</i>" and said that she would ask for the help of Mr.Weber and Mr. Perry to "<i>help me answer that question</i>."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This Blog's position is stark and steadfast. To answer Sec Clinton's question - WE SHOULD NOT BE DOING ANY OF IT!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Allow these aging, horrific, world-ending weapons to die a world-wide natural death in their Silos, Subs and Bombers. If that's not fast enough, (and it probably won't be) Dismantle Them. Start Now!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We partnered with Russia on this before and we can do it again.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This is our NUCLEAR WEAPONS RUBICON. Once we cross this singularly dangerous threshold, there is no going back. That trillion dollars and more will be in the hands of the Nuclear Weapons Industry and its multitude of contractors. Then it will be too late. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">Perry makes a very reasoned case for dropping this archaic leg of our Unholy Nuclear Trinity/Triad.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The risk of error, he reminds us, is all too great. If the POTUS, in the less than 30 minutes he or she would have to decide to "use 'em or lose 'em" before an incoming strike takes them out, chooses to use them - Error or Not "<i>once launched they cannot be recalled</i>."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Perry warns: "These missiles are some of the most dangerous weapons in the world. They could even trigger an accidental nuclear war."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Think of trying to call back a bullet just fired from a gun!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Perry is being a bit coy in the essay, however, as he is dedicating the rest of his life to the Abolition of these Weapons and their threat to the world and posterity.That would include our possession of the Nuclear Arsenal of Bombers and Trident Subs he offers as reasons to eliminate the ICBMs.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">But he realizes that - even as he has warned "Time is running out"- a crucial <i>first step</i> like the elimination of ICBMs is a START.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So, at first, we think: "Okay!" Finally, a Presidential Candidate, DONALD TRUMP, willing to say that this IS the biggest, most urgent problem facing the world and humanity. A position this Blog has been staking out since it started. Put the problem out there. Make the public aware. Necessary first steps.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Mr. Trump's above statements have done that. MORE: When asked by moderator Lester Holt about the US <i>refusal</i> to pledge a policy of "No First Use/No First Strike" :</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"I certainly would NOT do a first strike. Once it happens it's over."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">BUT:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"But I can't take anything off the table."</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Candidate Trump has also mentioned during the campaign that perhaps South Korea and Japan should develop their own Nuclear Weapons!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.globalzero.org/">Global Zero</a>, one of the leading Nuclear Weapons Abolition organizations, sent out an e-mail to members prior to the debate asking them to ask Lester Holt to raise the Nuclear Threat issue.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Further, Global Zero has now committed itself to an "all out" campaign against Mr. Trump's candidacy, viewing him as "the greatest threat to a Nuclear Weapons Free Future that we have ever had."</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Candidate HILLARY CLINTON points out that Mr. Trump's position on the Nuclear Arming of Japan and S Korea would be a violation of our decades-long position of Nuclear Weapons Non-Proliferation</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">which has been, she states, a cornerstone of US Nuclear Policy.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It depicted and dramatized the U.S. the day after a Nuclear War with the Soviet Union. We know now, thanks to his Diary, that Pres. Reagan was deeply affected by his viewing of this gut-wrenching film.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The film was fueled by and helped to fuel the Nuclear Freeze and Abolition Movements and led Reagan eventually to his historic summit with Gorbachev in Rejkavik with the intention of abolishing the Nuclear weapons threat once and for all.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This BLOG is non-partisan. Consistently viewing this Issue as too important and overwhelmingly urgent to be a political football. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The choice is <i>yours</i>. Be knowledgeable. Keep working at it. Never give up! The present and future of our, the world of our children and grandchildren, is at stake. There must be a World left to leave them....</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Ask the candidates what their positions are. Press for details. We caught a glimpse of their positions last night. (as contradictory as they may have been)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And don't forget your Senators and House members. They work for us! Demand to know their positions on this burning, urgent issue. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And VOTE accordingly.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Opening with a "teaser" video of the <i>US SUB Kentucky </i>described in the program as the "<i>deadliest engine of destruction in our Nuclear Arsenal</i>" with almost 200, yes 200! warheads atop its Trident Missiles, with more than 30 times the destructive power of the Hiroshima Bomb, according to its Captain. We watch the crew "practice" the most deadly game - a Launch of its Nuclear Missiles.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">There is a difference worth noting between <i>authority</i> and <i>ability.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Ability</i> also resting with the Vice-President who is followed around by his own personal Nuclear Football Satchel.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And since we are told that much of this is "Top Secret" or "Above Top Secret" (whatever that may mean), we do not know what authority each individual Nuclear Sub Commander has to initiate Launch. For example, if communications fail or are cut off during a crisis or in a time of international tensions....</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We are shown a digital "Time" board at STRATCOM counting down in minutes and seconds the "Safe Escape Time". The foolhardy notion that the Admiral and his staff have X amount of time to abandon ship, so to speak, in a Nuclear Attack and get themselves to "safety."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As the Admiral must know there is no such thing as safety in a Nuclear Conflict.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Get to "safety" where exactly? Even if <i>he</i> could, where would that leave the rest of <i>us</i>?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We know the answer. To be biblical: "Sackcloth and Ashes".</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">As computer forensic and security experts have told us and Congress - ANY SYSTEM CAN BE HACKED. So much for certainty.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This leads former Sec of Defense William J Perry to warn us that the President would have <i>less than 10 minutes</i> to decide if a Nuclear Missile launched from a Sub off one of our coasts was an actual attack or some sort of blip or computer error.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Secretary advises that our Nuclear Weapons, "one thousand ready to go" and on "hair-trigger alert" and in "launch on warning posture", are<i> "sufficient to destroy or obliterate ALL OF</i></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i> </i></span><i style="font-size: x-large;">civilization</i><span style="font-size: large;">."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The CBS correspondent asks Mr. Perry if this is true even now, so long after the Cold War, "STILL?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"STILL", Perry replies.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We are told to tune in "next Sunday" when the segment continues and will deal with "the chance" the President will Launch Nuclear Weapons. The correspondent concludes: <i>"greater than you might think</i>." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What all of us need to grasp is that there may be No Next Sunday. The terrible fact of the existence and destructive capacity of Nuclear Weapons means that they can destroy us all and all future generations AT ANY TIME. They are with us every moment of every day and night. WAITING TO BE LAUNCHED.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">No one will be left - not us, not any future generation - to ever start any war anywhere ever again on what would be left of this earth.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There have been so many "close call", "near misses"with the world's Nuclear Weapons Arsenals. Examples:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1979 - Full scale launch against Soviet Union averted at last minute when U.S. Nuclear Weapons operators realize that they are watching a training video and not an actual attack on the U.S.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1996 - Russian President Yeltsin and his military mistake a research rocket launch for U.S. missiles heading for their homeland.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yeltsin is handed "the football" and is ready to launch when the "error" is discovered.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>
<span style="font-size: large;">See <i>Command and Control Book and Upcoming Documentary Film</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Any of these "false alarms" could have triggered Nuclear War.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But as former Secretary of Defense William J Perry has reminded us, we must take action soon for <i>Time Is Not On Our Side </i>here.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We cannot continue to allow a small group of "experts" in the Nine Nuclear Armed Nations to make Life and Death Decisions for everyone now living and for future generations yet to be born.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This situation is <i>immoral and unconscionable!</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">AND in this Election Year, with the debates coming up, we can ask the candidates to state their positions on this crucial issue.</span><br />

POTUS WHIFFS ON THE MOST DANGEROUS NUCLEAR WEAPONS ISSUES OF OUR TIME<span style="font-size: large;">"OBAMA UNLIKELY TO DROP OPTION OF FIRST STRIKE", "USE OF NUCLEAR ARMS" NYTS, Today, Sept 6, 2016.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ending his presidential term which he began with a vision of "a world without Nuclear Weapons", Obama has now decided to do nothing at all to forward that hopeful vision!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Instead, he is pulling us backwards into the Cold War by committing our nation and its treasure to the rearmament and rejuvenation, euphemistically called "modernization", of our entire Nuclear Weapons Arsenal.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">After consulting with his current crop of "experts" and "advisers", he has decided that he will NOT officially take the <i>No First Use Pledge.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">STRIKE ONE!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">He had the opportunity to take our deadly, destructive arsenal off "Hair Trigger Alert" - the "de-alerting" option.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This would have reduced the now perilously high risk of mutual miscalculation, accident, malevolent hacking and other possible inadvertent "launches".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Making it likely for a conventional conflict to quickly escalate (see Ukraine/NATO) into a full-blown Nuclear War. US and NATO Nuclear Warheads and Bombs are stashed in Turkey, Italy, Netherlands and Germany.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">STRIKE TWO!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Obama had the opportunity to allow the aging, scandal-ridden ICBM complexes buried "across the American West" to die a natural death in their silos, removing them from our unholy Triad Trinity of ICBMs, Trident Subs and Bombers. He will NOT do so.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">STRIKE THREE!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">He made these terribly misguided decisions after consulting with his "advisers". As noted here before, it has always been a small, <i>unelected, unaccountable group</i> of individuals who have made and are making Life and Death decisions like this for all of us.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There are many experts here and internationally who disagree with Obama's advisers.This includes his former top Nuclear Policy adviser former Gen James E. Cartwright who last month wrote an OP-ED in<i> The Times </i>staking out positions contrary to the President's current crop of advisers. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/15/opinion/end-the-first-use-policy-for-nuclear-weapons.html">CLICK</a></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We should be morally outraged by these decisions... or rather no decisions since POTUS has left decades of now irrelevant Nuclear War policies in place.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Times quotes Andrew Weber former Asst Sec of Defense for Atomic Programs under Obama: "The defense complex is doing a full court press." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Follow the $! There are Billions to be made from the "modernization" of our Nuclear Arsenal. Already, several military corporations and contractors are locked in fierce competition for the "new" ICBM contract! <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-08-16/air-force-ballistic-missile-upgrade-said-to-be-stalled-over-cost">CLICK</a></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Since their start last May, these Blog Posts have encouraged "Millenials" to take serious note of what is happening.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It is, after all, the World... or lack of one...that you and your children will inherit.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">YOU CAN TAKE ACTION! There are numerous Anti-Nuclear Weapons organizations which you can join including: <a href="http://www.globalzero.org/">GLOBAL</a></span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.globalzero.org/"> ZERO</a> and <a href="http://www.icanw.org/">ICAN</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As President Obama stated</span><span style="font-size: large;"> at Hiroshima last May: "Persistent effort can roll back the possibility of a catastrophe."</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Mr. Zak states that he was motivated, in part, to write his book from "a sense of guilt"about not knowing more about the Nuclear Weapons issue.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This lead to the intensive research and many interviews which formed the foundation of his book.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Both discussed what we have here referred to as the "out of sight, out of mind" problem concerning the public's lack of awareness and involvement in this issue.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Mr. Zak states that when there are too many crises in the public mind it can be overwhelming for many of us.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He cites concerns over climate change, for example, which if coupled with the subject of Nuclear Weapons and the potential for humanity to be "extinguished instantly" then "people feel paralyzed." (Helen Young)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Faced with what he calls "the immensity" of this issue, people look to their leaders to deal with it. Mr. Zak found it "disturbing" that many of our representatives in Congress are ignorant regarding this urgent, imminent and dangerous threat to our lives.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Mr Zak linked the two issues of Nuclear War and Climate Change in a discussion of the potential for war between India and Pakistan caused by a future acute climate change-induced water shortage in the area. Referring to a widely cited study/model predicting over 2 billion deaths worldwide in such a war with the two adversaries detonating 100 warheads (just a portion of their robust Nuclear Arsenals) causing catastrophic climatic change and nearly global famine.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Zak and Young concluded on a note of HOPE. Mr. Zak is encouraged by a youthful European movement against Nuclear Weapons. Both are further encouraged by "legal" actions being pursued by the Marshall Island's Lawsuits against the Nuclear Weapons Nations and by the "Humanitarian Pledge" - a new and important petition, signed by 127 nations and counting, to convene a "Convention" to <i>ban and abolish</i> Nuclear Weapons. As Mr. Zak notes: all other weapons of mass destruction, biological, chemical, as well as landmines and cluster bombs have been banned by treaty and international law - except the most dangerous, destructive weapons of all!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Nixon later bragged that it was his "friendship" with Soviet Premier Leonid Brezhnev that "saved" the world from Nuclear War in 1973.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">As this Blog has warned repeatedly - "out of sight and out of mind" is a major obstacle to Nuclear Weapons Abolition. That has to change!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There is real hope here - as noted "NUKES ARE IN THE NEWS" and back on the front burner of American and World consciousness.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Nuclear Weapons are not just<i> in the news </i>but are <i>themselves </i></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i>the</i> <i>news</i>. Steadily and surely becoming a matter of Public Consciousness and Private Conscience.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Sister Rice continues that she was pleased with Mr. Zak addressing the problem of nuclear weapons. But she takes issue with the author's describing what they did at Oak Ridge as a "crime."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"He doesn't say that this is our shared responsibility whenever we know our government is involved in criminal activity to expose and oppose all that the government is doing against the common good."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Expose and Oppose. Agreed. Nothing illegal there.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This Blog has described what these three activists did there on site as "bending" the law - not breaking it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A LEGAL DISTINCTION. But a MORAL DISTINCTION worth preserving.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We can admire and respect their convictions and actions and applaud their willingness to accept punishment under the laws of the State.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But the law has been and can be changed. Often, most effectively by grassroots activism.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Future Posts will describe and discuss the legal implications and parameters of the world-wide struggle to Abolish Nuclear Weapons:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Marshall Islands' Lawsuits versus the current Nuclear Weapons Nations, the Global Movement to establish a legally binding international treaty to abandon and abolish Nuclear Weapons.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"Justice? - You get justice in the next world, in this world you have the law." -William Gaddis, first sentence of his novel <i>A Frolic</i> <i>Of </i></span><i style="font-size: x-large;">His Own</i><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes, the Law is what we have in this world. What we must work with. What we must change. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">LIKE NUCLEAR WEAPONS LAWS ARE MADE BY PEOPLE JUST LIKE US</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> ABOLITION IN OUR TIME</span><br />
