The old nuclear weapons are still on hair trigger alert, new ones are built, some intended for use in space; the US violates the arms control treaties, and is now threatening the preemptive use of nuclear weapons.

Four Minutes to Midnight, Dr. Helen Caldicott In 2002 Helen Caldicott returned from Australia to - once again - help build an anti nuclear movement in the US. The so-called end of the Cold War had made everybody complacent. Now, thirty years after Helen Caldicott first appeared in the US and became a charismatic speaker and tireless organizer she says that matters are worse now than they were then. They are worse because the old weapons are still in place, worse because they're building new nuclear weapons, some intended for use in space, worse because the US violates the major arms control treaties, worse because the US is now threatening the preemptive use of nuclear weapons, and worse because very few of us know these facts.
Helen Caldicott founded the still thriving organization Physicians for Social Responsibility and was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.
