built 672 days ago
The german Thrash Metal band Nuclear Warfare, founded at the end of the year 2001, is inspired by the 80's metal scene especially bands like Kreator, Sodom, Destruction and Slayer. During their four years of experience, Nuclear Warfare found their own typical sound of Thrash Metal. Since the beginning, they are enthusiastic about their songwriting and their lyrics are the bands thoughts and opinions in an aggressive, critical way. Today, Nuclear Warfare are: Nuke 'Vocals, Listl 'Guitar', Fritz 'Bass' and Miriam 'Drums'. They pursue their dream of playing non-commercial music and performing Live on a regular basis. After heaps of concerts within Germany they ... had the chance to play in Belgium, Holland, Italy and Poland.

Common Sense and Nuclear Warfare was first published in 1959, in an effort "to prevent the catastrophe which would result from a large scale H-bomb war". Nuclear technology had already evolved more and deadlier weapons, and these had created a new and more precarious balance of power. Public concern was growing. Russell's views changed in the years following Hiroshima, and were to change again, as the arms race became institutional and ever more costly. Military planning soared away into the realms of fantasy, but the reality was that mankind had developed hitherto unimagined destructive capacities.

When Russian President Vladimir Putin charged, in effect, that U.S. plans to install missile defenses in Europe, were an extension to Europe of the Cheney-Bush offensive nuclear warfare doctrine, he was not speaking off the cuff. Under the Bush Administration, U.S. nuclear doctrine has been undergoing radical redesign, to further the imposition of a new imperial order. Military sources have told EIR that the most radical aspect of that redesign has been the consolidation of offensive nuclear warfare capabilities, with both missile defense and current and future space-war capabilities. This consolidation, they say, betrays a long-term intention of the doctrine first promoted by then-Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney and his aides, Undersecretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, and deputy Lewis "Scooter" Libby, in 1991. They proposed a plan for an American military empire, striking out against any nation or alliance of nations that would threaten American hegemony. The use of a new generation of nuclear weapons was part and parcel of the plan.

In an important benchmark decision, the International Court of Justice of the United Nations ruled in July 1996 that the use of nuclear weapons in warfare was contrary to the rules of war, except in “extreme circumstances”. A ruling was initially requested in December 1994 by a large majority vote of the UN General Assembly, reflecting the concern of the non-nuclear majority at the possession of nuclear weapons by the “nuclear club” of permanent UN Security Council members. The decision rendered the use of tactical or theatre nuclear weapons illegal in any circumstances. Without an effective mechanism for enforcement, the decision is significant chiefly as a moral precedent.

There are many other clues regarding nuclear warfare. Childress (2000) discusses ancient atomic warfare, first Hattusas (Bogazkoy) in Turkey where “parts of the city are vitrified, and the walls of rock are partly melted.” He then discusses Sodom and Gomorrah and compares them with Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He thinks Sodom, Gomorrah, Zoar, Admah and Zeboiim (Gen. 14:2) were destroyed, creating the Dead Sea. He quotes L.M.Lewis, “Footprints on the Sands of Time”, who argues for atomic explosions. And he quotes from the Mahabharata an excellent description of an atomic battle in which Arjuna is given a “celestial weapon” which he cannot use against humans “for it might destroy the world”, but he could use it against “any foe who is not human.”

Dr. Wooldridge was a crucial figure in the development of the technology of nuclear warfare in the 1950’s. He died Wednesday at a hospital in Santa Barbara, Calif., his hometown. The cause was pneumonia, his son James said. Dr. Wooldridge was the “W” in TRW, one of the biggest military contractors of the last half century. The company merged with Northrop Grumman in 2002, creating the nation’s second-largest military contractor, after Lockheed Martin. With his colleague Simon Ramo, Dr. Wooldridge was a leading systems engineer in the development of intercontinental ballistic missiles — the backbone of American nuclear strategy during the cold war.
