Red Amaryllis by Denise E. Jacobs offers a frank and honest account of her life and journey of discovery, and shares a vital warning from those in the next phase of existence about impending nuclear armageddon – unless we act now to avert it.
Since the dawn of the atom bomb, mutual nuclear annihilation has been a terrifying and tangible possibility. Today, world leaders are pursuing an ever-more militant international policy, abandoning long-held nuclear proliferation treaties for a modern arms race. Perhaps more alarming, are the threats coming from new players in this global arms race. We are now seeing new players pursue atomic ambitions not for deterrence, but instead for aggressive attacking intentions. Those with the means to influence global change must find a path to world peace, before it’s too late.
Each year, the members of non-profit organisation the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists set the Doomsday Clock – a metaphor for the threats posed to humanity from unchecked scientific and technical advances. Global catastrophe is said to have happened when the clock reaches midnight. It is now just 100 seconds away.
“National leaders have ended or undermined several major arms control treaties and negotiations during the last year, creating an environment conducive to a renewed nuclear arms race and to discarding barriers to nuclear war.””
-Bulletin of The Atomic Scientists
There are two problems for our species’ survival – nuclear war and environmental catastrophe – and we’re hurtling towards them.
Knowingly.
Although September 11 was horrible, it didn’t threaten the survival of the human race, like nuclear weapons do.
I have to bring to your notice a terrifying reality: with the development of nuclear weapons Man has acquired, for the first time in history, the technical means to destroy the whole of civilization in a single act.
It is the mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to erase Israel from the map of the region.
Our republic is a responsible nuclear state that, as we made clear before, will not use nuclear weapons first unless aggressive hostile forces use nuclear weapons to invade on our sovereignty.
The Iranians are one day going to possess a nuclear bomb; there is almost certainly nothing we can do about it; all our blustering and threats are pointless, Indeed, if all else fails, there may even be a case for giving the Iranians the bomb
But as a citizen of Russia, as a head of the Russian state, I want to ask – why do we need a world if Russia ceases to exist?
Our missile technology, our equipment, is better than anybody by a factor of five. I mean look, we have, in terms of technology… nobody can even come close to competing…
Why can’t we use nuclear weapons?”
