Before It’s News, 3 July 2010, Since we’re coming up on the Fourth of July, and towns everywhere are preparing their better-than-ever fireworks spectaculars, we would like to offer this humbling bit of history. Back in the summer of 1962, the U.S. blew up a hydrogen bomb in outer space, some 250 miles above the Pacific Ocean. It was a weapons test, but one that created a man-made light show that has never been equaled — and hopefully never will. Here it is:

Cruel and unnecessary radiation experiments on monkeys
Dr. Marge Peppercorn, a retired pediatrician from Sudbury and a member of Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, said the experiment, proposed by McLean researcher Dr. Jack Bergman, would yield little useful information and would cost $1.75 million.

USA urging Israel to sign Nuclear non Proliferation Treaty
US Pushes Israel to Sign Nuclear Treaty, newsmax.com 04 Jul 2010 The Obama administration wants Israel to formally declare its nuclear weapons program by signing the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, according to The New York Times.
The United States first agreed to Arab demands in May that the final wording of the treaty include a clause urging Israel to become a signatory, and the issue is likely to arise again on Tuesday when Israeli Prime Minister Bejnamin Netanyahu visits the White House.Under the terms of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, a nuclear-free zone would be established in the Middle East. That would be a major issue for Israel. Although Israel has nuclear weapons, it has never officially admitted it, and it would be reluctant to give up its arsenal while surrounded by hostile nations.
