Women have such a capacity for protecting the future, if they are aware, if they have an idea of the great worth of their contribution, and most importantly if they recognize and honor their obligation. We must mobilize the instinct of mothers to die for their children’s safety and future. That instinct is within all women and is merely hormonally awaken after giving birth, but this instinct is not solely dependent upon giving birth. The human child, the future of humanity, is brought into this world extremely vulnerable. No other animal takes as long as we do to develop into independence. This undeniable reality has created the atmosphere for men to be able access this same “maternal” instinct.
All animals have a survival instinct, this is an individual instinct which extends to the confines of the community. The root of all of our problems lie in the boundaries of that community. The boundaries which trap the communal instinct of survival need to be completely and utterly torn down. If we cannot ensure the survival of the human race, we cannot ensure the survival of life on Earth in all it’s manifestations.
We have been conditioned to believe that an emotional response to danger and threat is weakness. If one’s anger is sparked many will just stop listening, if one’s tears flow with passion their arguments are discredited. We should be angry. We should be compassionate. We should cry. We should scream. We need to release these emotions for the sake of our health, and for the sake of the future.
More and more people are relying upon chemical compounds to be able to function, these chemical compounds are supposed to balance and make our emotional responses to our world normalized. Our world is contradictory. Our world is not normal and our emotional response need not be suppressed. Balance will be achieved by combining knowledge with emotion, not isolating one for the sake of the other.
Doctor Helen Caldicott, is a remarkable woman who has successfully achieved the balance of knowledge and emotion. A while back I watched the series Democracy University and was introduced to Dr. Caldicott during a speech she gave on the first anniversary of September Eleventh. I will attempt to rely some of the points that got to me but her performance, her emotion, her intelligence on the issues in which she speaks, her candor is something to view for yourself to fully experience the rasa of this remarkable woman. You can read more about her credentials here.
- After the first American war in Iraq, the soldiers were exposed to depleted uranium which we know is being used in abundance in Iraq on this very day and from the start of the war.
- The soldiers engaged in the first American aggression have uranium in their semen, in their sperm, in the genetic code that could bring forth the next generation.
- Mutated genes cause a list of 3,000 serious and fatal diseases and illnesses.
- During this bout of absurd murder it is taking just one generation for the results of fathers’ being exposed to depleted uranium to be demonstrated by congenital anomalies.
- The half life of uranium is 4.5 billion years.
- Grandmothers, mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephew, daughters and sons will be affected as long as they live in the geographical location of American warfare for 4.5 billion years or as long as this planet withstands us.
- In Iraq before this recent display of bravado through murder Helen delivered babies born with hardly a brain that would die in a week.
- There are babies born in Iraq as cyclops.
- 5,000 children died a month in Iraq before 2003, don’t you dare believe all those deaths were not executed with at least one American agency’s hand in Saddam’s killing as well as the effects of American weapons.
- Cluster bombs deliver a death load that only explodes 70% of the munitions that look like yellow soda cans. Then at the same location where these unexploded weapons fall, the same locations, food supplies are dropped contained within containers designed to look like yellow soda cans. Ask yourself who among the Iraqi people are more prone to pick up an object on the desert floor that looks like a yellow soda can?
- In 2003 scientists from the Uranium Medical Research Center (UMRC) studied urine samples of Afghan civilians and found that 100% of the samples taken had levels of non-depleted uranium (NDU) 400% to 2000% higher than normal levels. The UMRC research team studied six sites, two in Kabul and others in the Jalalabad area. The civilians were tested four months after the attacks in Afghanistan by the United States and its allies.

I once again think her speech on Democracy University is an excellent and intimate introduction to Helen Caldicott.
Nuclear weapons and Nuclear energy impose the same dangers to a viable future. Nuclear energy is not the answer to global warming, no matter how it is spun.
Nuclear technology is possible due to uranium. The mining of uranium emits radon gas, radon is a natural decay product of uranium and without adequate ventilation systems can be extremely dangerous.In the 1950’s many members of the Navajo Nation became uranium miners and later developed small cell carcinoma, cancer. Madam Curie herself succumbed to cancer due to her exposure to radon.
After the uranium is torn from the ground it must be enriched through isotope separation in order to be utilized in nuclear fusion. Isotope separation is a difficult and an energy intensive activity.
A byproduct of enrichment is depleted uranium, which is used for armor penetrating weapons due to it’s density. In it’s whole form, depleted uranium contains less radon than natural uranium but upon impact the combination of the heat and impact reactivate it’s generationally murderous potential.
When will we get angry? When will we cry out in unison? We must allow ourselves to feel raw emotion and channel it toward action!
Say No to Nuclear Hypocrisy!
Stop unlimited loan guarantees to the Nuclear Power!
“Nuclear weapons pose the greatest immediate threat to survival, health, and sustainability. They are the worst weapons of terror. They poison human affairs, our bodies and the environment; consume vast resources; and threaten not only future generations but the future itself.” Add your voice here.
“We do not support construction of new nuclear reactors as a means of addressing the climate crisis. Available renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies are faster, cheaper, safer and cleaner strategies for reducing greenhouse emissions than nuclear power.” Add your voice here.
