"In America, the criminally insane rule and the rest of us, or the vast majority of the rest of us, either do not care, do not know, or are distracted and properly brainwashed into acquiescence." [my emphasis]
Michael Portillo was UK Defense Secretary of state from 1995 to 1997. He says,
"I think [the UK nuclear arsenal] ... is neither independent, nor is it any kind of deterrent because we face enemies like the Taliban and al-Qaeda, who cannot be deterred by nuclear weapons. It is a tremendous waste of money and is done entirely for reasons of national prestige." [my emphasis]
For 'national prestige' read 'bloating the egos of the power elite'. The leaders of the nuclear states put all other states at risk as well as their own people. This is done to enhance the leaders' sense of their own power. Could narcissism become more extreme; more out of control and terrifying? We need to learn about the psychology of such people so that we can keep them out of power. Carl Jung warned, 'We need more understanding of human nature... we are the origin of all coming evil.' And as Victor Gollantz wrote, nuclear weapons are 'pure, unqualified evil'.
The forces of reason, humanity and sanity are marshaling to break the grip of these leaders with behavioural disorders. First of all these forces are warning us that we are being subjected to nightmarish risks.
Some nuclear warnings
Here are a few from the countless warnings that have been issued by sane people and which are being ignored by our psychologically disordered leaders.
On May 24, 1946, Albert Einstein sent the following telegram to prominent Americans. 'The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophe.' 7 The thinking of our nuclear leaders has not changed and the situation is now immeasurably worse.
On July 25, 1961, in a
report to the American people John F Kennedy warned ' In
the thermonuclear age, any misjudgment on either side about the intentions of
the other could rain more devastation in several hours than has been wrought in
all the wars of humanity.' 8
On September 25, 1961, in addressing the General Assembly of the United Nations, John F Kennedy warned, 'Today, every inhabitant of this planet must contemplate the day when this planet may no longer be habitable. Every man, woman and child lives under a nuclear sword of Damocles, hanging by the slenderest of threads, capable of being cut at any moment by accident or miscalculation or by madness. The weapons of war must be abolished before they abolish us.' 9
