Our nuclear policy survives only because of military-industrial complex needs, including profit, jobs, retirement for generals and admirals, and campaign donations. Not good reasons when it comes to justifying a Doomsday Machine.

"I once came to a disarmament press conference at the U.N., and Time had just had a picture on their cover of a terrorist. I showed this picture and I said, 'If I want to see a nuclear terrorist, I just have to look in the mirror.'”

When @DanielEllsberg asked for an estimated death toll of a nuclear strike during the Cold War, he was told: 600 million.
That's "a hundred Holocausts," he tells The Current: cbc.ca/1.4513062

I've wanted this story of the "Lavender Hill Mob" out for over 40 years. @GarAlperovitz's decision now to reveal his own (key) role, along with others, in the publications of the Pentagon Papers, is a challenge to the Trump/Sessions war on the press.
