Project for the New American Century (PNAC)

By MariaJuly 4, 2016Amazing Speakers & Events, Nuclear Weapons

A reading from the document by Mime Troupe founder R.G. Davis
Introduced by poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti
The paper was commissioned by Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and others in the year 2000, before any of them were in government. The think tank, the Project for the New American Century, produced a blueprint for a system of world-wide US military dominance and intervention. The document remained secret until 2002 when it was discovered by the Irish Sunday Herald.

Arming The Heavens

By MariaJuly 4, 2016Amazing Speakers & Events, Nuclear Weapons

Reading from the US Air Force Transformation Flight Plan
One of TUC Radio’s best received programs was a reading from the Project for the New American Century document on Rebuilding America’s Defenses that predicted the war on Iraq. In that document the authors, among them Cheney and Rumsfeld, laid out a plan to place weapons in space in order to maintain US global reach and military superiority. Like other predictions in the PNAC document the arming of space is becoming a reality. In early 2005 the Air Force posted their Transformation Flight Plan on their web site. The plan discloses strategies for global dominance, refers to new space weapons based on laser and microwave, and makes the case for nuclear power [ . . . ]

Akira Tashiro on Depleted Uranium

By MariaJuly 4, 2016Amazing Speakers & Events, Nuclear Weapons

During the Gulf War in 1991, US and UK forces used a new weapon against Iraq. This new weapon, the depleted uranium (DU) projectile, is radioactive. Unlike atomic or hydrogen bombs, it involves no nuclear fusion or fission but nine years after the end of the war, adverse health effects from DU exposure continue to manifest themselves among military personnel and civilians in Iraq and Yugoslavia where the fighting took place, and among US and British veterans and their families. Tashiro traveled through the US, UK, and Iraq to cover this story. He is a senior staff writer for the Chugoku Shimbun, a daily newspaper with a morning edition circulation of 735,000. The Chugoku Shimbun was founded in 1892 and [ . . . ]

Burning Warheads as Fuel for Nuclear Reactors?

By MariaJuly 4, 2016Amazing Speakers & Events, Nuclear Power

Mary Olson with Jackie Cabasso
Recently a significant announcement by the Bush administration reversed a 20-year-old policy. The US and Russia will now re-process plutonium from nuclear weapons as fuel for nuclear reactors.
Mary Olson is the expert on nuclear reactors with the North Carolina office of the Nuclear Information and Resource Service ( NIRS ). She is concerned about the prospect of fueling aging nuclear reactors with plutonium, recognized as the most dangerous substance on earth. In addition to making nuclear power even more dangerous, she says, this new program is also a concealed nuclear weapons program. New, pure weapons-grade plutonium is generated inside the reactor.

American Nuremberg – The U.S. Officials Who Should Stand Trial for Post-9/11 War Crimes an interview with Rebecca Gordon

By MariaJune 29, 2016Imperial US, Newest Catalog Items

To this day the people of the United States have no accounting of what has been done in our names in the so-called war on terror. But we are left with ongoing misery for literally millions of people, destabilized regions in the Middle East, South East Asia, North Africa and blow-back and spill over into Europe. And it is extraordinary how a small group of political leaders could have created such ongoing expanding devastation and has not been held responsible in any way.
Rebecca Gordon writes that for the sake of the victims of the war on terror we need real accountability for American war criminals. Her book, American Nuremberg, published by Hot Books at Skyhorse, NY-City, went into distribution in [ . . . ]
