Helen Caldicott, M.D., pediatrician and internationally recognized author and lecturer, hosts a weekly, one-hour radio program titled If You Love This Planet. Produced by Jasmin WIlliams and Scott Powell. Edited by Jasmin Williams.
This week's guest is Michel Chossudovsky, the Founder and Director of the Centre for Research on Globalization in Montreal, and Professor of Economics (Emeritus) at the University of Ottawa. Professor Chossudovsky's new e-book is entitled Towards a World War III Scenario: The Dangers of Nuclear War (2011). He has taught as Visiting Professor at universities in Western Europe, South East Asia and Latin America, acted as an adviser to governments of developing countries and as a consultant for several international organizations. Prof. Chossudovsky gives his perspective on America's war on Libya, its willingness to use nuclear weapons preemptively on various nations, its aggressive stance toward Iran which could lead to another war in the name of oil, and how multiple Mideast wars could ignite a larger nuclear conflict involving major world powers.
