The deliberate use of manmade ionizing radiation is an assault upon people, the environment, and all living things. Since the first Plutonium and Uranium nuclear bomb was exploded in New Mexico on July 16, 1945, the continuous contamination of the United States and the rest of the world is like something out of a very bad dream... a dream from which we can not seem to awaken. There is reason for optimism... Trinity Bomb- The Beginning of the End

Akbayan Rep. Walden Bello | 08.19.2009
US nuclear-powered carrier entry to Manila violates ASEAN Treaty The following manifestation was made by Rep. Walden Bello of the Party-list Akbayan! on the floor of the House of Representatives of the Philippines on August 13, 2009. It was prepared by Herbert Docena of Focus on the Global South. Yesterday, the USS George Washington aircraft carrier—a gargantuan ship measuring as long as seven Olympic-sized swimming pools in length and as high as a 24-storey building—docked at the Manila Bay. It carried with it over 6,000 US troops—or over a third of the number of US troops that used to be based in the former US bases in Subic and Clark. With a flight deck twice as large as UP’s Sunken Garden, accommodating over 80 aircraft, carriers like the USS George Washington have been described by US military officials as a kind of “floating base”—no less a part of the US overseas military presence as its ground bases.
"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita: Vishnu is trying to persuade the prince that he should do his duty and to impress him he takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now i am become death, the destroyer of worlds. I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." - J. Robert Oppenheimer reflecting on the first atomic test blast, code-named "Trinity", July 16, 1945, desert area of Alamogordo, New Mexico

Is John Bolton advocating "special interests" to take precedence over the interests of the American taxpayer? I must say, I truly appreciate the opinion piece by the former UN Ambassador John Bolton. In it, the guy who accomplished pretty darn close to nothing during his tenure in that job, tries to make it sound as though the Obama Administration was doing something wrong by not continuing Bush's failed policies. He complains that Obama, by cancelling the highly provocative, destabilizing Missile Defense system in Eastern Europe "is simply giving it away." Well, yeah.
