or so maybe this cia the special forces were given us the intelligence and you know try to orient stood the usual and keen eyed reaper suit you know take out as being the lord's resistance army because they care. part i'm going after a shower right now thank you so much for your insight on that i was just a sort of correspondent have to ask all of our well that doesn't for now i'm listening all hope to see you again in thirty minutes.

me there we see the big money going to this thing you know. make. sure. you know it was a. very right there you know you got to buy into their vision to see if you see regions through in the management to go with them so i know this morning this morning the university is basically doing science. so chancellor yang promised us on monday that you would personally deliver our

demands to the u.c. board of regents so i just want to read argument stary one care great place so that you all know it's being forwarded on. so we call on the university of california corporations to withdraw fully and immediately from their contracts to manage the los alamos national laboratory and florence livermore national laboratory on the grounds that the reliable replacement or a program most of the most is ongoing preparations to come back on sodium it manufacturing fault clearly violate article six of the nineteen seventeen nuclear nonproliferation treaty. it's a little something simple to realize that there we go to work the worst is over. the years. the university of california from the inception of nuclear weapons has been right

there and. you see since day one has been in charge of researching designing and testing nuclear weapons and to some extent producing weapons every single. we are weapon inside a is arsenal was designed by university of california and for you every nuclear weapon. from the days of the manhattan project in one thousand forty two the university of california has been involved through the science it's provision of scientists and their relationship to the university. in the late one nine hundred forty two disease site which is now also a most lab was selected by the army for. a place to assemble the first topic on the book through the scientific problems associated with. the

university of california who was selected as the contractor to run the stuff and that was considered important because the army needed scientists to meet their university positions and come to a place which they didn't even know about. u.c. berkeley had built up an unparalleled scientific organization within the united states at the u.c.b. of years and laboratory where sureness old orit's was the director of there was the most cutting edge research in the country on the types of science that eventually led to the development of nuclear bombs and clued in theoretical forms of physics that fear robert oppenheimer was one of the premier scientists in the country in regard to you had oppenheimer who was kind of chosen i was the science of the leader to put together

a scientific team robert oppenheimer was there picked because he was not only a really sophisticated and leading scientists involved with nuclear physics but he was also an administrative position at u.c. berkeley so he worked closely with leslie groves he was the leader. of army corps of engineers at the time. there had been a university involved felt that scientists would want to believe in university and go work for a private defense contractor in the middle of does or in the middle of nowhere. and they liked the most elements site in part because there were some buildings already and they figured if you get started in those buildings. so here you had this universe from moving toward then both the first bombs and the first few. in one thousand forty

five of course did states use those first atomic bombs. the first one was detonated in here in human animals like a six thinking forty five. and one hundred forty thousand people more or less were incinerated or dead by the end of nine hundred forty five tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of others injured and people today still suffering from radiation related illnesses and unknown effects to subsequent generations and the second round was done by the united states and that assassin on august ninth one thousand forty five with senator catastrophic results. that world war two came to an end rather abruptly and instead instead of ending the manhattan project benighted states government decided to make it permanent creating

an institution called the los alamos national laboratory in the mexico at the original oh i was going to happen project but this whole relationship where mentioned earlier should never existed in the universe and the tension in the after world war two about nine hundred forty seven was to terminate. robert scrawl president of university of california said i've had enough of new mexico he told me and then bob's. well they were worried about liability they were worried about the oral implications but that changed up quickly after the cold war began. you see was then an early researching designing the weapons and after you know like the first decade of the law there really wasn't any question from them. and those upper circles that you see about whether you can see shit grams or not i mean you talk about a guaranteed stream of revenue so it was a no brainer for the regions to route out its contracts and. then of course they

were joined by a livermore whose purpose was to develop the h. bomb. which was a thousand times more powerful than the a bomb that destroyed the second i want to come to the lawrence livermore national laboratory that was basically the pet project of chris lawrence and it was also cut project of a guy named edward heller they lobbied the government to create the lawrence livermore laboratory in the government they created force the national laboratory it's the u.c. naturally we can imagine that facility to. work was clear at that time and it's still clear it's considered major reason slighting a couple of major reasons why they. did want to keep them on the one hand they got a certain amount of money directly from allegedly managing the labs in fact they did very little oversight but for lending their name to the group project which is

basically why the government wanted. to give a white coated scientific. or to what is actually a process like that of the final solution all the girls. in order to lend their name as a grain. of truth in this process they go. somebody you can probably know this because seven trillion dollars of us since we are two or seven truly. lot of money when you get that kind of money floating around there's a lot of people who trust their children and keep a good position they're out to create a powerful universities as university administrators their goal is growth just like procreation the row get bigger get more powerful bring in more revenue bring in more students believe that the readers see this as a success most of them as a successful business feel that is helping american national security. and that is

you know just part of the national patriotic project and right thinking people with national support. you see is run by the board meetings these twenty six individuals it's well known all of the major policies you know the structure of the institution as a whole that's grounds and buildings. and missions policies. and of course the nuclear weapons laboratories. eighteen of them are appointed by the governor and than seven of them are official members of the state bureaucracy that are inside us krefeld congress up of our divisions the governor selects the

regents and he tends to select guys or every once in awhile one and two but mostly guys who are big campaign contributors or who are allies politically influential allies of of the governor ever since tuesday was founded one hundred forty years ago the regents have been appointed by the governor primarily on the basis of political patronage corporate elites who have given tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to the governor and his political campaigns usually get rewarded with a seat on the border regions. and essentially at that appointment as regent because then sort of as. a reward a few well for a service to the governor service of the state. you see regents are basically the economic leaders of the state of california these

are the guys who are the directors most often of the major industries that are prominent california in any given time. regions are in most cases the wealthy business elites who are in some cases c.e.o.'s of major war profiteering multinational corporations. you see a lot of regions who are in charge of big media companies military industrial firms real estate for arms is really like a circle of the top that dominates the. goings on the circles generally composed of the. chair of the regions the pasture the president down the field the executive office of. the current chair of the board of regents is richard bloom.

richard blom is someone who i see as a very conflicted individual on one hand he has a free tibet bumper sticker on the back of his b.m.w. he has said on several occasions that he is a passionate advocate for the abolition of nuclear weapons on the other hand he was deeply invested in the your ass corporation and perini corporation both of whom received construction contracts to rebuild iraq after u.s. imperial forces leveled that country on the other hand richard long as the chairman of the board of regents who was managing the national nuclear weapons labs are a lot of business connections a good man for example arnold schwarzenegger's personal financier paul dr who is second only to his wife in terms of people who have influence and sway over governor schwarzenegger. paul walk there is a you say region it's that sort of connection that gets people pointed you serious

. the large body of people at the university are reaching us never even said asking them and trying to get them to understand some of the problems of the university fundamentally and yet the regions they don't listen i sense they serve our rank and file people on the ground the university they don't represent the students the faculty the staff they don't actually represent their constituencies and the question is can the regions have the courage in the insight to recognise that the best thing if they truly care about abolition of nuclear weapons is to end their management of the weapons right now they have i think there's a little bit of denial there they don't see that and the question is can we persuade them of that long term training in universities cannot be affected by people who is it is a democratic institution you have to be worked through back

channel bureaucratic methods which is how to normally operates or through public pressure i was thankful he was who he was fear of some of these people to come i was able and the community. was the fact that my feet. was. the rise that you see. campaigns like new scenically are free and to go there. and the early part of the two thousand and especially when up so the iraq war when we started the campaign we believed that if students found out about this that they

knew more about it if they understood that their university was involved with making nuclear weapons than those games or is destructive weapons ever created by humans that the students would want to respond to that that they would want to react to that and protest it i decided to get involved in the you see nuclear free campaign because i feel very passionately that universities should educate and work for peace and justice sustainability in the commonwealth or in managing nuclear weapon labs the exact opposite. i try not to get involved in anything that i don't think i could have an impact and i feel it has i mean you see student because i'm you know essentially a part of this machine. that they have the power to stand up and say every part of this machine i'm not ok with the way that she is running. that.

i move may need someone to sort of work a dance and that incredible unfairness of the u.c. regents as the perfect target per broad based student. social movement. in the name it sounds like our ultimate goal is just to make the senior player free but everyone has been involved with the u.c. nuclear. as a nuclear movement with and then you see. i get to meet one person who thinks that's the actual goal. we all tend to agree that the actual goal is the abolition of nuclear weapons the university of california severing ties with the nuclear weapons labs i think would have a very a very important impact on the united states and beyond the united

states. in the united states and around the world in least in modern times have almost always been led by. so young people. and students have a significant role to play the bass christians have been the backbone of some of the most powerful movements in american history the civil rights movement the free speech movement these are forces of history that we learn about now and i think that students have just as much power as they did. and it turns out that our going to school. to something that is as important as this gets me to stop using the nuclear weapon. as a possible war strategy and we're going to start by divesting this educational institution that's supposed to further a supposed to further this country's business for the state it's supposed to

further every single one of us we had about divest that institution from nuclear weapons we need to completely make display the students could be the spirit of the campaign for u.s. leadership for nuclear weapons free world we're not going to get to a nuclear weapons free world without u.s. leadership and we're not going to get u.s. leadership unless the citizens of the united states begin to demand such leadership and wouldn't it be wonderful if the students at the university of california awakened and hope lead that movement for u.s. leadership for nuclear weapons free war. if you look at just how much the movement has grown and i felt in the four years that i went to school it's really amazing working back because i freshman year is where we started out and there were like five of us on campus plus what was going

on with the university and it seemed almost like just like when i was like a club like that i had this amazing secret and we just keep her on campus and look each other and go. you know and i know what's going on and everyone else.

from the seventy's and eighty's and ninety's there were questions about whether the university should. manage on the weapons articles as the center report and from the one they can somebody said you know which was the faculty in portland making somebody said. something about this whole range when it was university of california is not going to let me go it is simply point when you're in the literature. i think there's one famous one with is that i describe the university oversight of the laboratory is being sold permissive as to being licentious the university of california was sort of an absentee landlord and it was a. you know it was the source of a great deal of profit. working closely in the weapons program for quite

a while you become aware that. you know nuclear weapons the materials they are used to make their money by nature kind of are hazardous and. you have to be. careful with a. number of bizarre terrible accidents of their march every six weeks or so there'd be something happening that this had of had a bad effect on the health effect on somebody. on at least one person. tennis ace. also was is not operating to move industry safety standards they actually found that livermore lab they were storing plutonium in paint cans food cans the thing about plutonium is it has to be stored in an airtight container. i worked and the petroleum facility

in p a four in the glove boxes there were a number of incidents in the glove boxes there were accidents actually they weren't incidents they were accidents they resulted in people being exposed to plutonium in various forms. there was a pretty. good. your radio voice all over this morning is on fire they were worried that there would be a tax credit however in the more senior a number this week the outage or as a community we were extremely lucky that there wasn't just sacking even larger criticality. but it really illustrates the extreme houser of nuclear weapons development activity i met one young man who is rife died in her late twenty's and says high school sweetheart.

she had skin cancer and she lived across the street from a park that they call big trees. but a lot of people in livermore call it plutonium park because for decades. the release plutonium to the city sewage so we're in big trees park here in livermore and when the e.p.a. came here and took the soil sample them right over there they found in the ranges of dirt and they found elevated levels of plutonium that obviously came from livermore laboratory. as far as the publice of the and accidents. yeah i would say that it at each lab we certainly had our fair i've been lucky enough not to be involved in any of them

but especially with the livermore lab being right next to a population center preventing those things has to be not a top priority but the top priority is just the way it has to be what is fairly dismaying in recent years is that as the role has been questioned for entirely different reasons namely that security was bad. people were careless and they're safe so their handling of classified and materials and information. and livermore most relevant was when the question was raised for that reason the university fought hard to keep control of it rather than letting it go and if you went up there and actually noticed and actually could investigate their security. we would not be happy. for instance in an area that's had

a lot of people are notices the quadrature does nuclear critz you know which of them are the primary or the pits being called twenty in primary and the first stage of reform a nuclear weapon. earlier this year two thousand and eight page apartment of the energy center a mock terrorist team to livermore lab. them our lab knew the mock terrorists were coming nevermore lab knew almost a year in advance and neutral within two hours of when the mock terrorists would arrive and get the mob terrorists were able to carry out their to mean a jap terrorist came in the would be mock terrorist came in and succeeded at some things that we didn't really want him to succeed at. in spite of so many precautions it. so the

first objective was to get access to livermore labs to tony m and to hold their ground long enough to create an improvised nuclear device which is a not just a dirty bomb going to an actual crude nuclear bomb their second subjective that they also were able to carry out was to steal and they were using simulated plutonium good essentially they were in the superblock in the building if they had been real terrorists it would have been the real deal they were able to steal the plutonium and take it off site get off site with it so that they could detonate a bomb out a later time and place of they are choosing. the

official key allocation joint so the i pod touch for me aren't you dumpster. the job she lives on with. video on demand i'll keep my old costs an r.s.s. feed now in the bahamas you want. to. leave. the.
