Afskaffelse af atomvåben – den altoverskyggende terrortrussel bør sættes på dagsordenen.

 

Obama har en vision om total afskaffelse af atomvåben - den alvorligste terrortrussel - og skærpet af at USA og NATO stadig fastholder retten til som de første at bruge atomvåben. Vi må spørge kandidaterne til EU-parlamentet hvordan de har det med denne Avåbenpolitik  i EU?

 

Obama har taget konkrete skridt til at sætte nedrustning af atomvåben på den sikkerhedspolitiske dagsorden , så vi må tro på at han mener det og støtte det.

 

Men som Jan Øberg skriver nedenfor så har medierne i mange år ikke set vennernes inkl. Israels A-våben som et problem og derfor heller ikke hidtil  interesseret sig for  perspektiverne i Obamas vision og sat atomafrustning  på dagsordenen.

(OG det gælder vist også vores meget svage fredsbevægelse?)

 

 Dog har Jørgen Dragssdahl behandlet atomvåbennedrustningsperspektiverne i hhv Information  og  DRs p1 orientering som en hæderlig undtagelse her i Danmark jf også Dragsdahl egen hjemmeside http://www.dragsdahl.dk/  som kan anbefales herom. og så er det på dansk.

 

Og her giver fredsforsker Jan Øbeg (også)  medierne en håndsrækning til at komme igang:

It simply isn't right. It threatens humankind. It militates against pluralism, and the idea of public service.

 

The only thing your mainstream media are likely to tell you about nuclear weapons is related to, say, North Korea and Iran, i.e to the risk of proliferation to "irreponsible" states.

 

The very existence of nuclear weapons, nuclear possession, is not an issue. Mainstream media almost never highlight the terrorist nature of the weapons in the arsenals of the United States, Russia, France, Britain, China, and Israel or the theory of 'balance of terror' that holds all of humankind as hostages to total destruction - a clear indication that nuclear states are terrorist states.

 

Oh my, who'd dare say that in the media!?

 

They never tell you that if a serious accident involving nuclear happens, the consequences could be million-fold worse than even the worst terrorist attack. They invariably forget to tell you about such accidents or put them at the bottom of page 63.

 

Compared with 20 years ago, there are much fewer media people today who have even a basic knowledge, let alone any intellectual understanding, of these weapons, deterrence doctrines and strategies, their technical aspects, radioactivity and ethics. Neither do get the obvious idea to ask how many billions of dollars the world is wasting on these weapons in times of crisis.

 

They don't tell you, in other words, what it means to live in the nuclear age - that there is no country who ever asked their people whether they want to be "defended" by nuclear weapons. No wonder - people say no to being hostages to terorism.

 

They don't even raise the issue about democracy , terrorism and nuclear weapons or whether leaders of the Western world are that much morally superior and mentally healthy than other leaders.

 

Young people no longer learn about the existence of nuclear weapons or about nuclearism - the belief that these weapons are rational tools in the arsenals of security and democracy. They - like many other citizens - don't know that we could all be gone in a few hours.

 

Indeed Albert Einstein was right when he stated that "The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophe."

 

Few listened then. Fewer now. It simply isn't right. It threatens humankind. And somebody is responsible for this sorry state of information and the absence of debate. Some elites do not want you and me to be concerned, let alone know the mad facts.

 

We can either wake up - if we can - when the nuclear weapons are again used or we can take action now.

 

TFF and its Associates are among the few institutions that persistently take serious the human duty to inform about the madness of nuclearism in the hope that we'll abolish nuclear weapons - like we have absolute monarchy, slavery, child labour, cannibalism. N

 

Nuclearism is fundamentally incompatible with any definition of democracy, freedom, humanity and civilization. Nuclearism holds 6,3 billion people worldwide hostages. It is time we make up the account with the real terrorists.

 

Knowledge and dialogue will be important, and so will non-violent confrontation with the nuclear terrorists, not those who don't even have these weapons.

 

For the knowledge dimension, begin here:

Can Obama do better than Reagan on nuclear arms control?

A fifty percent reduction in the nuclear weapons' arsenal of Russia and the U.S. was proposed by President Obama this past weekend. President Medvedev seems to be receptive. What neither have mentioned is that we have been here before...in 1986.
