"'I don't care about politics' basically translates into 'I don't care what you do to me.' To me this is a very dangerous attitude since politicians create the laws that govern our lives."

The US used chemical weapons in Iraq - and then lied about it
by George Monbiot 11/15/5

...Saddam, facing a possible death sentence, is accused of mass murder, torture, false imprisonment and the use of chemical weapons. He is certainly guilty on all counts. So, it now seems, are those who overthrew him.

"...Economic Hit Men (E.H.M.s) are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. They funnel money from the World Bank, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and other foreign so-called aid organizations into the coffers of huge corporations and the pockets of a few wealthy families who control the planet's natural resources. Their tools include fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex and murder. They play a game as old as empire, but one that's taken on new and terrifying dimensions during this time of globalization..."

Nuclear salvation: ‘We’ve heard it before’
by Rosalie Bertell & Alexey Yablakov
http://www.catholicnewtimes.org/index.php?module=articles&func=display&ptid=1&aid=254

...even though nuclear power did not emit sulfuric acid or its precursors, it did emit beta particles which reacted with the nitrogen in the air causing nitric acid. In fact, the atmospheric nuclear testing may well have been the original culprit bringing about the acid rain crisis....

Peace Making after Rio, 1992
by Rosalie Bertell, Ph.D., GNSH
Originally published in the International Perspectives in Public Health Journal 1992
http://www.iicph.org/docs/peace_after_rio_1992.htm

...For me, the Rio summit was a way to engage the civilian economy in a massive effort to compensate for the excess of the military economy over the last 50 years.

Let us examine the major environmental problems: acid rain, ozone depletion, climate change, loss of topsoil, forest dieback, desertification and loss of tropical rainforest. These combined earth-illnesses have resulted in loss of species, increases in human allergies, asthma and cancers, and an increase in congenitally damaged children. If one stays only in the civilian sector when looking for the environmental culprits, one finds: fossil fuel generators, CFCs from refrigerators and air conditioners, automobiles, sewage and garbage disposal, plastic wrappings, etc. The «remedy» lies in the 3-R strategy: reduce, reuse and recycle, combined with legislation to reduce emissions. Individuals are counselled to not smoke, not eat fatty foods and not sit in the sun.

Let's look at the military reality:

Acid Rain: Did you know that nuclear explosions (and also emissions from nuclear generators) inject electrons (beta particles) into the air, causing interactions with nitrogen, oxygen and water vapour, to produce nitrates and nitric acid? The shift in the Northern Hemisphere's pH due to some 500 atmospheric nuclear explosions and 433 nuclear generators has never been estimated or even mentioned in the acid rain debate. Once the pH is reduced from 7 to 5, then the earth's ecosystem becomes vulnerable to any change in the acid rain. Preparation for nuclear war was probably a prominent component of the acid rain crisis, which threatens our lakes, fish, trees and our own respiratory tracks...
