    6 May 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel brushed off Wednesday a U.S. call to sign the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, saying it saw no indication that the Obama administration wanted to revise the secrecy around the assumed Israeli atomic arsenal.
    "As far as we are concerned, there is no change to the close dialogue we have with Washington," Foreign Ministry spokesman Yossi Levy said in response to the call by U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Rose Gottemoeller on Israel to join the NPT.

    Nuclear weapon free zone (NWFZ) in the Middle East/World? What about that?
    reposted of Mark Gaffney
    Friends, we must work together to prevent a catastrophe. We must stop the next Middle East war before it starts.
    The US government must turn over to the United Nations the primary responsibility for resolving the deepening crisis in Iraq, and, immediately thereafter, withdraw US forces from the country.
    We must also prevail upon the Israelis to sign the Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) (…)

  • France recognises her responsibility to the military and civilian victims of her nuclear tests
    1 April 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    For the first time, a Minister of Defense has now recognised a link, in principle, between some deaths and some illnesses (chiefly cancers) suffered by career servicemen, conscripts and civilians who took part in the France’s nuclear testing (…)

    They’re back. The winter session of the state legislature is upon us. Bills have been presented, in both Senate (SB831) and House (HB1320) before the opening session, to re-introduce the nuclear power business to Oklahoma. This will, if the sponsor and his backers prevail, bring jobs and cancer to our state.
    We’ve got a problem. We humans interpret the world and have survived by our five senses of sight, sound, touch, taste and smell. They have served us well; they guide our (…)

    11 October 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    The most blatantly unreported reality in the Orwellian World of 2008 is entrenched LYING by commission and omission by Mainstream media, politicians and academics. Yet Humanity seems unable to breach a Hole in the Mainstream Wall of Silence.

    Nationalist euphoria over the NSG waiver will breed monumental arrogance, great-power delusions, and contempt for peace among our social-Darwinist elite.
    THE headlines reporting the waiver granted to India by the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) from its nuclear trade rules could not have been more breathless or gung-ho – to the point of hysteria: “Nuclear apartheid ends”, “Nuclear dawn”, “India N-abled”, and so on. Even more excessive were the (…)
