American industry becoming more militarised with nuclear weapons

The militarization of our society could increase much more, as U.S. geopolitical power decreases further overall and as our society begins to cave in further, leaving the military as by far the strongest and most trusted institution in society. It is easy to forget that corporations can now contribute unlimited sums to congressional races, a new factor in our politics.

Boost to the Nuclear Weapons Industry under Obama The Dangers of the New Nuclear Legislation in the US Congress by Greg Mello Global Research May 23, 2010 New Nuclear Legislatiom …………Despite the increase in nuclear activism, all the fine work that people been done leading up to and including the NPT Conference and NGO meetings, the overall situation is growing more alarming due to the persistance of the nuclear industry and pressures exerted on the US congress Arn Specter, editor, The Nuclear Review

Clearly, the sole use of disarmament rhetoric by the U.S. is now to disarm foreign and domestic opposition to U.S. policies, especially “non-proliferation- themed” geopolitical ambitions. Other than dismantlement of the thousands of warheads put into the dismantlement queue by that pacifistic president George W. Bush, there is no disarmament going on in the U.S., whether specifically of nuclear weapons or the more general disarmament foreseen in the second clause of the NPT’s Article VI, and none is contemplated. Quite the reverse as we see here. The importance of nuclear weapons in U.S. defense policies is not decreasing.
