Pershing missiles in Germany that had a five-minute flight time to Russian targets; they were providing what the CIA called a super-sudden first strike capability: the Russians not surprisingly were deeply concerned. Actually, that led to a major war scare in 1983; there have been hundreds of cases when human intervention aborted a first strike. Noam Chomsky, lecture Centre for Popular Economics 2012, ‘Who Owns the World?’, Youtube 59.02
The Obama administration is planning a huge what’s called ‘improvement’ of the nuclear posture – trillion dollar expenditures to build up much more lethal and threatening nuclear weapons, including small weapons with a small yield which are particularly dangerous because they’ll be a temptation to use them. Noam Chomsky, lecture 2016, ‘After the Electoral Extravaganza’
There are three countries that have never signed the Non Proliferation Treaty – India, Pakistan and Israel. Noam Chomsky, Who Controls the World? Link TV June 2009, Youtube 1.29.57
The non-proliferation treaty: the resolutions are directed explicitly against the two states that consistently and regularly do resort to force, the threat of force, namely the United States and Israel. Noam Chomsky, lecture Boston University 2010, Youtube 1.29.19, ‘Obama, The Middle East and the Prospects for Peace’
Obama immediately informed Israel that they were immune to it; he also informed India that they were immune from resolution 1887 … None of this appears here. ibid.
Missile defence systems are not for defence: they’re first-strike weapons. ibid.
The record of near misses is appalling: sometimes from accident and error, a few shocking cases from recklessness, and the threat is growing right now. Noam Chomsky, lecture 2019, Youtube 56.05, ‘Internationalism or Extinction’
Every dollar spent on nuclear is one less dollar spent on clean renewable energy and one more dollar spent on making the world a comparatively dirtier and a more dangerous place, because nuclear power and nuclear weapons go hand in hand. Mark Z Jacobson
India can live without nuclear weapons. That’s our dream, and it should be the dream of the US also. A P J Abdul Kalam
Although September 11 was horrible, it didn’t threaten the survival of the human race, like nuclear weapons do. Stephen Hawking
If nuclear power plants are safe, let the commercial insurance industry insure them. Until these most expert judges of risk are willing to gamble with their money, I’m not willing to gamble with the health and safety of my family. Donna Reed
The great thing about Glasgow is that if there’s a nuclear attack it’ll look exactly the same afterwards. Billy Connolly
When I was in the White House, I was confronted with the challenge of the Cold War. Both the Soviet Union and I had 30,000 nuclear weapons that could destroy the entire earth and I had to maintain the peace. Jimmy Carter
Look, Israel doesn’t intend to introduce nuclear weapons, but if people are afraid that we have them, why not? It’s a deterrent. Shimon Peres
The idea that the growing demand for energy worldwide can be met with energy from nuclear power is nonsense. Sigmar Gabriel
North Korea has taught a great lesson to all the countries in the world, especially the rogue countries of dictatorships or whatever: if you don’t want to be invaded by America, get some nuclear weapons. Michael Moore
One thing you can say about nuclear power: the people who believe it is the silver bullet for America’s energy problems never give up. Jeff Goodell
I told my therapist I was having nightmares about nuclear explosions. He said don't worry it’s not the end of the world. Jay London
In plain words: now that Britain has told the world that she has the H-Bomb she should announce as early as possible that she has done with it, that she proposes to reject in all circumstances nuclear warfare. J B Priestley
Nuclear energy is the scientific achievement of the Iranian nation. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
If we are really anxious not to have nuclear weapons in Iran, the first thing is to call an international conference on abolishing all nuclear weapons, including Israeli nuclear weapons. Bruce Kent
What is the only provocation that could bring about the use of nuclear weapons? Nuclear weapons. What is the priority target for nuclear weapons? Nuclear weapons. What is the only established defense against nuclear weapons? Nuclear weapons. How do we prevent the use of nuclear weapons? By threatening the use of nuclear weapons. And we can’t get rid of nuclear weapons, because of nuclear weapons. The intransigence, it seems, is a function of the weapons themselves. Martin Amis, Einstein’s Monsters introduction, 1987
If you are not ready, and did not know what to do, it could hurt you in different ways. It could knock you down, hard, or throw you against a tree or a wall. It is such a big explosion, it can smash in buildings and knock signboards over, and break windows all over town, but if you duck and cover, like Bert [the Turtle], you will be much safer. Duck and Cover public information film 1951
The news today about ‘Atomic bombs’ is so horrifying one is stunned. The utter folly of these lunatic physicists to consent to do such work for war-purposes: calmly plotting the destruction of the world! Such explosives in men’s hands, while their moral and intellectual status is declining, is about as useful as giving out firearms to all inmates of a gaol and then saying that you hope ‘this will ensure peace’. But one good thing may arise out of it, I suppose, if the write-ups are not overheated: Japan ought to cave in. Well we’re in God’s hands. But He does not look kindly on Babel-builders. J R R Tolkien 1945
Once launched, the bomb was absolutely unapproachable and uncontrollable until its forces were nearly exhausted, and from the crater that burst open above it, puffs of heavy incandescent vapour and fragments of viscously punitive rock and mud, saturated with Carolinium, and each a centre of scorching and blistering energy were flung high and far.
Such was the crowning triumph of military science, the ultimate explosive, that was to give the ‘decisive touch’ to war. H G Wells, The World Set Free 1914
And these atomic bombs which science burst upon the world that night were strange even to the men who used them. ibid.
The Grove’s own internal annals brag that the Manhattan Project for the plan to create the A-bomb was hatched inside this building known as the Chalet. The Strategic Defence Initiative, better known as Star Wars, and also the brain-child of Grove members, and was born inside the Chalet. Chris Everard, Illuminati vol II
When it came to create the modern equivalent of the Philosopher’s Stone, to master alchemy at its highest level, changing one element into another, changing uranium into plutonium, one of the highest secrets of alchemy, where did the SI Uranium Committee of the Manhattan Project meet? Well, they of course consummated their alchemical knowledge in the Bohemian Grove. Amongst ancient trees grown men listened to the manic laughter of Satan, wearing owl masks and black robes. It was here at Bohemian Grove that the consummation of thousands of years of alchemical atomic research took place – nothing less than the birth of the bomb. ibid.
American author Michael Hoffman in his book Secret Societies & Psychological Warfare speculates that the golem foetus may have been placed inside a giant twenty-five-foot long, twelve-foot in diameter canister which was photographed at the Los Alamos atomic bomb test range. This mysterious canister was nicknamed Jumbo. It was made of solid lead and cement. It is conceivable that the foetus was placed in the centre of the canister, and then irradiated with the blast of the world’s first atomic bomb, thus infusing the demon child with what Kabbalists call the demonic force of the atomic fire. ibid.
Robert Oppenheimer and his Jewish scientists, the four horsemen of the apocalypse, named the first atomic bomb Trinity. ibid.
Robert Oppenheimer’s team calculated the forces which would be unleashed from splitting a single atom. They became concerned that a global chain reaction would take place igniting all the hydrogen and gasses in the Earth’s atmosphere and thus incinerating the entire planet. Chris Everard, Spirit World II
In 1945 in the aftermath of war scientists were heroes. Particularly the physicists who had built the Atomic bomb. ‘They are men’, said Life magazine, ‘who wear the tunic of superman and stand in the spotlight of a thousand suns’. In the public imagination atomic scientists had harnessed a terrifying power. Adam Curtis, Pandora’s Box, BBC 1992
Politicians began to look to Atomic power as more than just cheap electricity. It became the way to a better world. ibid.
Then in October 1957 there was a major accident in Britain. The core of the [Calder Hall] reactor caught fire and spewed high levels of radioactivity across north-west England. ibid.
