lectures in illegal weapons from the us university where america's nuclear arsenal that special report is up next and then when people started digging in deeper and deeper they discovered so. a lot of things had been lax the security front i can go through the guard station here to access free and my ford ranger truck and i will not be stuck i will dwell you briefly stop you get waved through there is no search of those vehicles. hundreds of problems in my vehicle and once in three i can pretty much anywhere i want as our one security versus laboratory. they were oppressed and oppressed and stuff that is their practice was to sweep it

under the rug right now never more putting together a new me to kneel down three in the eternium building that very building where the mock terrorists were able to get out. and they're going to be experimenting with pouring that one tony arm and we're. trying to do fellow robotics morey production line for a full scale manufacturing capability out once alamos to make the plutonium yes the n.s.a. is requiring the los alamos laboratory to ramp up the production and plutonium it's. a compound in and functional bombs they were very proud of having produced i or was it ten or eleven last year or something like them and they want to produce something like eighty per year
1:33 pm
and you could ask why it's about pork or you know for weapons or just on a sweep of pork they're nice because nobody can question what you're doing me unless they don't have a security clearance and you can't grow up and say show me how you make your stupids because they won't let you see the people that run. you know really their defense industries in this country better and they are connected to people in washington are you know that's just. do you know i have a power of command over agency policy that cannot really be offered even by the president why we need more nuclear weapons or even to maintain the current stockpile that we have and spend the resources the money on that is beyond me i think those are political decisions and i don't think they are well thought out.
1:34 pm
the president's address to the nation from his office in the white house january seventh the night to sixty one. revealing my fellow americans. three and a half million men and women i directly engage in that basis next. we annually spend on military security alone more than a net income of all united states corporation. we have been compelled to create a permanent army and industry a bashful bush in the councils of government we must guard against the acquisition of unwanted influence whether sought or and sought by the military industrial
1:35 pm
complex. the more classic version of the military industrial complex which is still very much a part. of the united states military and economy is it refers more to the gnashing of industrial conglomerates corporations with the us military. and this serves as some people is that the sort of the kind of the facto centralized state planning of the us economy whereby industrial policy is determined by the defense department in the allocation of their you know several hundred billion dollar budget every year so long term decisions about where whole industries go in the united states is determined by the sense department there's an illusion that the united states and other western societies are markets and. we're based on free enterprise and so. that's only true. this you take
1:36 pm
a look at the poor economy it's based on the states where the pentagon controls about five hundred billion dollars of study in a year and it uses that to control all of high technology industry the costs of the initial stages of technological development are all subsidized by the taxpayers through the system because the pentagon is a publicly funded institution obviously you know half the federal budget now is devoted to things that are either military or intelligence or homeland security and all those bureaucracies fiedel lot of contractors and people making large amounts of money and why would they want to stop why would they not want to feed it trough anymore the british historian e.p. tom went through that was misleading to say that the soviet union in the united
1:37 pm
states had never terri industrial complexes he said it was more accurate to say that they were military industrial complexes. in the us case i could just as well have said going to terry and just real advantage given the role of the university of california where you see. a very important role with and the military industrial complex goes fire is calling it the military industrial academic contracts you see became involved in a general context of universities becoming more tightly involved in most of us with potholes during world war two the people who ran harvard the people who ran out. the people who ran berkeley. all of these people were basically. realizing that it was in their interest. to touch themselves and more permanent
1:38 pm
ways to the military the u.c. has received billions of dollars over the years so the federal government put it into the nuclear weapons development that's happened at these laboratories and it's basically served as the ultimate flood group that legitimates nuclear weapons in the united states now this is interesting the scientists at the laboratories. benefit from the university of california man asleep in the sense that the university of california provides i think leites of academic respectability where their. weapons of mass destruction the. clouds don't like to say we're the third on the side. we create that knowledge of armageddon let's not call the solar cells the way they sell themselves useless so that we are all type purpose national science lab which was work on everything from the human genome
1:39 pm
project to helping to offset global warming to all kinds of other benign popular and the science and we also did. but a weapons. university is basically doing science it so happens that eighty percent of the research in funding. that the department of energy provides them with is for their weapons programs or. the weapons laboratories are incredibly powerful lobby interests on behalf of nuclear weapons development and i look at that phenomenon as being part of something that the generalist loss for the us and i'm for it called the new
1:40 pm
pentagon of power that emerged around the time of world war two and there he recognized there is a new priesthood within the ruling elite of the united states that new priesthood was scientists at least scientists like nuclear weapons scientists especially the labs come up with ideas and sell them to the military there's a kind of idea that the customer you know wants this the customer wants the customer being a military but historically it's the labs that have my large one of the ideas and then they get the customer can't be interested in here you are you're in a position where you're the only people would have the nuclear weapons design expertise you control would you be. about what you consider the nuclear you can speculate about the russians and their nuclear weapons their mission so your and your literacy and you're controlling your money supply is pretty nice you
1:41 pm
don't have absolute control over which could help more control over it than you ought to have it would be really hard to overestimate the historical influence that the us nuclear scientists have had on the global proliferation of nuclear weapons you see scientists have been some of the most outspoken advocates of the nuclear weapons program. a very key moment arrived during president reagan's administration when president reagan was on his way to a summit with the soviet premier corba chap to discuss a comprehensive elimination of nuclear weapons by those two states invited. and hey do you see nuclear weapon scientists edwards successfully lobby president reagan in convincing president reagan not to teach us edward teller you see scientist said we need to continue and in fact expand the nuclear weapons program. or edward teller
1:42 pm
or actually say the leader of my community to that there was no possibility of killing more than a quarter of quarter of the earth's population a year later here so in the course of the possibility the trauma of destroying all the best life on earth if you think crazy nuclear weapons proceeds it isn't that they're doing that they are the while service to the deal when they deal with the and they're simply making nuclear weapons which is what they play we're the oil service they are making this response. because it keeps the nuclear weapons forward as being right these are precious you mustn't stop using these things because if you. you budget my car. eat my it's junior plus i was like do you see it will eat worked and senator domenici is office for many years.
1:43 pm
function as years laboratory legislative aide. i've actually seen the first gulf war he was. working as a staffer in powerful senators are. so keep lines crossed for. the entire resources of the i will solve this that and the other labs and then feed it to diminishing from within his office. somewhat. right now you've got some people whose purpose was to self-centered interest is to maintain. nuclear weapons as a viable option. that is their own selfish interest even though you and i would say that if there is if there's any weapon on earth right now that puts her star society or risk it's nuclear weapons because they can bring our six sided crashing down for morning at the end of the cold war there was
1:44 pm
a hope that at least a corporate of the nuclear threat would be reduced maybe eliminated namely that many soviet american confrontation with the very dissolution of the soviet union the us leaders saw an opportunity not to change the world in the direction of nuclear abolition of state could and which you know many americans saw that as a possible running unfettered during their faith or the possibility of being a hedge of money world empire such as the world had never seen. issue of nuclear weapons is kind of dropped off public radar a lot of ways because the u.s. population doesn't feel as. by nuclear weapons and more people feel that the nuclear problem in sure has. disappear that was wrong the problem a nuclear war was never and deliberate attack by either side to the other and was
1:45 pm
never entirely a problem of all out through. the problem of an accidental war launched by a false alarm alert forces still does exist. if you look over the history there has been. very close schools just to have said we don't have the russian records but we have the us recall one of the us record that it's a poor one i mean there's been a shift trace probably dozens if not hundreds of cases were automated response systems were on the third of launching missiles struck with human intervention provided human intervention means like a minute or two. these things are great at the edges destroying the world and it could happen to not by accident or by computer or by half as well by an ordinary fallible human being by straight marriage as five thousand
1:46 pm
a month from meetings. and rush got two and a half thousand and when you think about the fact there are only two hundred forty major cities in the northern hemisphere with such a dominant think there are forty eight sponsors tiger as we speak and indeed if you look at the situation in the world today it's very grey and maybe the danger is. more so now you know and i know we all are still in this sociologist to do. was write a lot about globalisation and he said that he thinks that you know in the next twenty years there will be twenty new nuclear states. he sees the end of the cold war as actually an opening out for a mass proliferation of nuclear weapons nuclear material and the expertise has to come dispersed in the world so widely by. it's point the we are i think on the verge of widespread proliferation the belief that the threat of nuclear worries
1:47 pm
the streamlet seriousness standard of. leading strategic analyst picks a robert mcnamara former secret plans are. going to go into some he thinks his estimate is that it's not on those threats but it's a human cost of the pocalypse any international rate can't situation and. face up a situation where the weapons will be damaged. he's going to be more nations going for nuclear weapons especially because the united states and russia still have them and still use them. to try to. try to intimidate smaller nations. who were doing the world right now running around the world. were threatening people with weapons that we have the door. we want to fire helicopters and shoot precision missiles at people who are current it's. the only balance that comes into
1:48 pm
that is when they all sort of helicopters are you also reduce them hitting a rifle once you reduce to people repartee then you really do talk. perlez just griffen killing people. here we are in the position of trying to urge the most of the countries of the world except for nine. not to have a single nuclear weapon. where not only telling them we intend to keep thousands indefinitely them that we will not assure them we will not use them against them were in effect making a threat. the way the united states particularly is behaving it is providing incentives to other countries to develop nukes. look at the case of iraq the united states accused iraq of having nuclear arms an attack dog the didn't have nuclear arms and surely the united states knew that it wouldn't have
1:49 pm
attacked it if it didn't have nuclear arms but on the other hand north korea actually developed nuclear arms and the united states negotiated for the demonstrations of the world is that having the nuclear weapons makes you a lot thing for from us for us from the face of the world actual attack. what is the united states really number one. on challenge. where nobody can come close to our local dominance on a level. growing oil production. in the capital with only one. i'm not of some. problems on the left to the insiders and the insiders on the whole are committed to us empire. and to run the world. they want to prove for us and so long as the leaders in the
1:50 pm
us are committed to the use of nuclear weapons the rest of the world is going to keep theirs or get their. and the prospects for human survival are not great. i'm going to shout i've been using the surging of this university forty three years . but i was only sure you could be employed in your system and enjoy it when it is the mind whether it was a little good. i think it's absolutely wrong for any university to be involved in making weapons of mass destruction weapons that are illegal under international law weapons that by any definition of morality are immoral weapons that kill indiscriminately weapons that could destroy
1:51 pm
civilization ok here's the stuff think about it occurred to sedation if you're a liberation it doesn't lend out that sources chance of survival universal from. pressing forward from. head to foot understanding and doing it to a because the topics are worth pursuing. they should not be going to oppose of external institutional pressures of citizens and these are the books we want. and we should not be at the bidding of the state or of corporations or of any other reforms is from. investigating the frontiers of understanding from groups. and with their full attention to the big consequences they're worth. i know people up there who have minds like. the war turn to for them what
1:52 pm
part of the search of the nation sickens such a move. to the city the slum i rolled from bristol if it's a month from for us it. can be done for. him and her right back to all the things we refuse the germans of nerve. we're all saying the summer goes with rest time and money is in the hands of destruction she said yet it is your opinion and he didn't hear were you can improve the immediate. today you won't be hearing testimony of the two survivors from the future a few months on all of us thought this is the young and you're going to get. that up though you don't want to allow you you know who i am happy that little to
1:53 pm
do so you see it such as the looking you are. just another many started so you are. the one must. be mean you will lose some of them in no thank you no wonder the almost a must. a university of men to cultivate. it all to find humanity every syrian i have here. to. visit. a few by the bye bye bye. bye don't beautiful white. foam any chance to create people they are now making at the bottom right well what happened. was moore's car steve martin does
1:54 pm
a lot of foreigners right and you're right it's troops and guns it's true that we were using so the fact that they. would bring the slings. with no concern and so forth uses a quality really. serious ethical and moral issue. and i think it's one of the most immoral and on ethical institutions in the country. they want more investment they want more money thrown down the black hole nuclear weapons development they want to expand the nuclear weapon labs they want to continue the program and even advocates of this since the very beginning of this program and so it's up to us it's up to us those of us who have a conscience and who are watched dogs to stand up and say no because if we don't do it no one will.
1:55 pm
the syrians are meeting next thursday and san francisco yeah we're going there on my that. we really care and we're going to put our next clock and just tell people that we need to be to me to modernize and we need to start building nearby things. the students have a right to demand that they receive that course and that we don't warm don't. really need in this field. are more people with fresh help. because there's so much to be offered to. go right. a group of protesters interrupted a university of california border regions meeting to demand the schools several
1:56 pm
times with the nation's nuclear weapons program. i'm doing my principal or wrong it's a very serious issue you see only the first studies to be biased but that's a lie if you're holocaust you sure. are. or why. i was there. i think i've. i've. i've i've. i've. seen any additional color. with which you.
