THE TIME IS RIPE TO STOP THE BOMB
Glenn Carroll
Nuclear Watch South
Without a word of public debate, nuclear weapons became a seemingly inevitable fact of life and death on our planet. After World War II ended with two single bombs destroying the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki — The Bomb became big business with vast factory complexes on government reservations in several states across the country. A government agency, now called U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) was formed to oversee private contractors who churned out no less than 30,000 nuclear warheads over the next four decades and established the nuclear industry as an economic force in human affairs

The Kansas City Plant is located in the Bannister Federal Complex near Holmes and
Bannister Road and is run by Honeywell under NNSA, the National Nuclear Security Administration. It makes over 85% of the non-nuclear components of nuclear weapons, averages over 5000 shipments a month of nuclear weapons parts and is having its busiest workload in 20 years even in this post-Cold War era!

NEW PRESIDENT MUST OVERHAUL U.S. NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAM; “REPORT CARD” FINDS ENERGY DEPT. IS “OUT OF CONTROL”
“DOE and its National Nuclear Security Agency are out of control,” said Susan Gordon, Director of the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability (ANA). “They are ignoring instructions from Congress to end wasteful projects, hiding money for new weapons in the budget, and failing to heed many environmental requirements. A new administration must reign in this rogue agency.”

The Department of Energy has a sinister plan to ensure that nuclear weapons will be the capstone of U.S. foreign policy forever. We’ll be the empire over all. The king of the hill. The plan is called, “Complex Transformation,” and it is the latest scheme to “revitalize” and rebuild the U.S. nuclear weapons research, development, testing and production complex of the future. It involves eight locations across the nation, and will result in new facilities to build new nuclear weapons.
This scheme is being commented on by the public at 19 hearings near nuclear weapons production sites from now through April. Trouble is, people around all of the nuclear sites depend on the work at these sites for jobs and economic stability in their areas. Most sites date from the 1940’s and 1950’s and have shaped the lives of countless scientists, engineers and the thousands of support workers, families of all of them, the infrastructure of their towns—hospitals, schools, police, fire, everybody. The people who are impacted directly by any change in their facility naturally have a tendency to cling to the status quo of their sources of livelihood and pride. These people have made plenty of money making bombs—hard to give that up. Isn’t there a way to preserve jobs and bow to the inevitable?
