3:30 am
back here with a look at the week's top stories. a levy after the killing of colonel gadhafi but there are fears the country could now be plunged into a chaos of mob rule. brainstorm ways to save the euro zone and slash greece's enormous debt it comes after the greek government approved more. today strive clashed with police. for manmade dismantling their barricades at a disputed border crossing in northern. hundreds of locals. next week florida roll the university of california and the development of america's nuclear weapons program the second part of our special report is coming your way. and then when people started digging deeper deeper
3:31 am
they discover. a lot of things have been lax on the security front i can go through the guard station here to access to three and my ford ranger truck and i will not be stopped i will well and you briefly stop you get wave there's no search of those. hundreds of problems. and once you three i can pretty much anywhere i want. they were pressed and pressed and stuff that these things are practiced with this week on the rug right now nevermore is putting together a new found three in the eternium building that very deal where the mock terrorists were able to get access and they're going to be experimenting with
3:32 am
pouring that from tony. and we're. trying to do fellow robotics morey production line for a full scale manufacturing capability out los alamos to make the three tony and pets the n.s.a. is requiring the los alamos laboratory to ramp up the production plutonium it's a compound in and functional barton's they were very proud of having produced i was a ten or eleven last year or something and they want to produce something like eighty per year and you could ask why it's about pork or you know for weapons or just a maze way to get pork for nice because nobody can question them to doing unless
3:33 am
they don't have a security clearance and you can't go up and say show me how you make your simple bits because they won't let you see the people that run. you know the the defense industries in this country that are they are connected to people in washington that are you know that's just. do you know i have a power of command over agency policy that cannot really be altered even by the president why we need more than a killer weapons or even to maintain the current stockpile that we have and spend the resources money on that is beyond me i think those are political decisions and i don't think they are well thought out.
3:34 am
the problems addressed percolation from his office in the white house january seventh right to sixty one. their feeling my fellow americans. three and a half million men and women are directly engage in the deep basis tax. 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 arminians industry to bash bush in the councils of government we must guard against the acquisition of unwanted influence whether sought all runs off by the military industrial 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 refers more to
3:35 am
the meshing industrial conglomerates corporations with the us military. and this serves as some people as are 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 dollars budget every year so long term decisions about where whole industries go in the united states is determined by the defense department using allusion that the united states and other western societies are markets and so it's based on free enterprise and some. that's i mean why shouldn't troops if you take a look at people who are coming it's based on the states or the pentagon controls about five hundred billion dollars of sunday in a year and it uses that to control or high technology industry the
3:36 am
costs of the initial stages of technological development are all subsidized by the taxpayers through the system because the pentagon is 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 feed or a lot of contractors and the people making large amounts of money and why would they want to stop why would they not want to feed at the trough anymore the british historian the people once said that it was misleading to say that the soviet union in the united states had military industrial complex and he said it was more accurate to say that they were military industrial complex and. in the u.s. case you could just as well have said military industrial academic given the role
3:37 am
of the university of california where you see. a very important role with m. the military industrial complex some goes fire is calling it the military industrial it's are not contracts you see became involved in a general context of universities becoming more tightly involved mostly that's right harmful to the well boards feel the people who ran harvard to keep their grand council the people who ramberg really. all of these people were basically. realizing that it was in their interest. to tops themselves in more permanent ways to the military the u.c. has received billions of dollars over the years for the federal government put it into the nuclear weapons development that's happened at these laboratories and it's
3:38 am
basically served as the ultimate luxury of that which eliminates the weapons in the united states now this is interesting the scientists at the laboratories. benefit from the university of california man if you look in the sense that the university of california provides a fig leaf of academic respectability for their design of weapons of mass destruction the. labs don't like to say beardsley or blog site. we create that knowledge of armageddon that's not how they sell themselves the way they sell themselves they say that we are all type purpose national science laboratory we work on everything from the human genome project to helping to offset global warming to all kinds of other benign popular and the science and we also did. that eleven's. you know.
3:39 am
university is basically doing science it's so happens that eighty percent of the research and funding. that the department of energy provides them with is for their weapons programs. 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 mumford called the new pentagon of power that emerged around the time of world war two and there he recognized there was a new priesthood. within the ruling elite of the united states that you priesthood
3:40 am
was scientists elite 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 is the customer wants that and the customer military. historically it's the labs that have by and large property ideas and then they get the customer to 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 can go with the you. what you consider the nuclear you can speculate about the russians and their nuclear weapons stems from so you're in here the driver's seat and you're controlling your own money supply is pretty nice you don't have absolute control over a picture could help want more control over it than you ought to have it would be really hard to overestimate the historical influence that a u.s. nuclear scientists have had on the global proliferation of nuclear weapons you
3:41 am
see scientists had 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 corbett chap to discuss a comprehensive elimination of nuclear weapons by those two states and by them. and hey do you see nuclear weapon scientists and would. successfully lobby president reagan and convince president reagan not to do this edward teller you see scientist said we need to continue and in fact expand the nuclear weapons program. or trial or actually say it's later from committing to that there was no possibility of killing more than a supporter of a quarter of the earth's population here or later he'll sell to consider the
3:42 am
possibility which remain the destroyer advanced life on earth if you think crazy nuclear weapons policies it isn't that they're doing that they are the while service to the deal with the d.o.d. and they're simply making nuclear weapons which is what they claim we're the oil service they are making first. because it keeps nuclear weapons for as being right these are precious you mustn't stop using these things because if you. you budget michael. lyons jr well sounds like you see it will be worked and senator that he's office for many years. function as his laboratory legislative aide. but actually missing or goes to trial for what he. was working battles staff in
3:43 am
a powerful senator's office so pete lines drop more. while the entire resources are available sellable slat and the other labs that feed it to diminishing from within his office. some other top. rate now you've got some people whose purpose whose whose sole 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's if there's any weapon on earth right now that puts our 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 a hope that at least a corporate of fleet nuclear threats will be reduced maybe eliminated in a minute soviet american confrontation with
3:44 am
a very just solution of the soviet union u.s. leaders saw an opportunity not to change the world in the direction of nuclear abolition which they could and which you know many americans saw that as a possibility unfettered during their they saw the possibility of being a hedge of monic world empires such as the world had never seen. the issue of nuclear weapons is kind of dropped off the public radar a lot of ways because the u.s. population doesn't feel as. by nuclear weapons anymore people thought the nuclear program. disappeared that was wrong the problem the nuclear war was never deliberate attack by either side against the other and was never entirely the problem the fallout from. the problem of an accidental war launched by a full civil workforce it's still doesn't exist. if
3:45 am
you look over the history there have been. very close schools just by accident we don't have the russian records we have the us for a lot of the us records but it's a whole lot i mean there's been a shift curious probably dozens if not hundreds of cases were automated response systems were on the verge of launching the missile struck with human intervention for granted and human intervention means like a minute or two. of these things are great but the truth destroying the world and it could happen to not by accident or by computer or by hack as all by an ordinary fallible human being i hate america has five thousand i try to find it true maybe. i rushed structure in a half hour and when you think about the fact that i need two hundred forty major cities in the northern hemisphere as such are
3:46 am
a dime and think there are four yanks from tiger on your has we speak and indeed if you look at the situation in the world today it's very gray maybe the danger is. more so now you know emmanuel wallerstein this sociologist to you. as are a lot about globalization 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 up for nasa political nuclear weapons nuclear material and expertise has become dispersed in the world so widely by. it is pointing to the we are i think on the verge of widespread proliferation. of belief the police threat of nuclear war is the streamlet seriousness standard among the leading strategic analyst pictured robert mcnamara the former security clearance. going to be until he thinks his estimate is that it's not only the threat this human cost of
3:47 am
the collapse any international rate tense situation and. face up a situation where the weapons can be donors. there'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. to try to intimidate smaller nations. like what we're doing in the world right now running around the world. were threatening people with records that we have and they do. we look for fire and helicopters and shoot precision missiles of people kurt it's. the only balance that comes into that is when they all sort of helicopters are you also are reduced to only having a rifle once you're reduced to equal weaponry venue with a truck. probably there's just great fun killing people. here we are
3:48 am
in the position of trying to urge most of the countries of the world except for nine. not to have a single nuclear weapon. while we're only telling them that we intend to keep thousands indefinitely them and we will not assure them we will not use them against them when the fed making a threat. the way the united states particularly is behaving it is providing incentives to other countries to develop nuclear they look at the case of iraq united states have accused iraq of having nuclear arms an attack dog the didn't have nuclear arms and i and surely the united states knew that you wouldn't have attacked it if it good to have nuclear arms but on the other hand north korea actually developed nuclear arms and the united states negotiated for the demonstration to the world is that having the nuclear weapons thanks
3:49 am
a lot thing for from us for us from its. actual attack. what is the united states really number one. on shelves. where nobody can come close to our level dominance of. food growing oil production. human capital with only one thing. and not just. problems on the left to the insiders and the insiders on the whole are committed to the u.s. empire. and to run the world. they want to prove threats and so long as the leaders in the us are hard to committed to the use of the current weapons the rest of the world is going to keep theirs or get their. and the prospects for human survival are not are you.
3:50 am
and others i've been using in the searching of this university for three years. and i've learned over the stranger the employer to use the system and enjoy it when it is the lighting weapons for the rifle. 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 civilization and they i seriously thought think about our occurred to sedation if we're going to ration of judgment he said and how would that source
3:51 am
says chance of survival universal's from. pressing forward from. his juvenile understanding and doing it to him because the topics are worth pursuing. they should not be doing it because of external institutional pressures of citizens and news of the middleton we want. so we should not feel at the bidding war of the state or of corporations or of any other group and so it is from. investigating different forms of understanding of different groups. and with careful attention intransigence of the work. i know people are for who whines like come to. the war from looking but for the sake of the nation succumb to such a move. listen it's not my role to christa the false mother movement person.
3:52 am
can be done for. in the right there are all the things we really choose the germans of nuremberg. they're all saying it's not my role for the rest. time and money easterners and destruction since to get it you think the jury. and he didn't hear this were you going to prove the committee. today you won't hear you testimony of survivors from the future as you know on all of us. this is me i'm putting out the answer book but if you get. that up to you the whole lot easier to know who i am so happy yeah so they're also used so use it so it doesn't looking you are. chairman of the many started a slew of out. there that don't like mice he's did you lose the
3:53 am
right to come in don't think you're the one with the almost thing was. a university it meant cultivate. it all to find humanity back here and our. resident. a huge part of the bus ride. right. here at the white. foam a chance to create give or take that making up at the bottom that well what happened. matters more is cars martin is foreigners right rights groups and guns the truth we're going to sell the facts are. we doing these things. with hope concerning them so that the usage of coffee grew.
3:54 am
so serious ethical and moral. and i think it's one of the most immoral and 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 they have been 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 watchdogs to stand up and say no because if we don't do it no one will. but the. p.c. remember meeting next thursday and san francisco yeah we're going there all right. we say. we really care
3:55 am
and we're going to put our necks. to tell people that we need to be to get mortgages and we need to start building their weapons. the students have a right to demand that they receive that endorsing that we don't want. we'll need in this field. far more people with fresh help. because there's so much to be out. there already. a group of protesters interrupted a university of california border regions meeting to demand the schools sever ties with the nation's nuclear weapons program it's time to move principle for long periods various terrorist you see on the first step to be buying
