Tremendous amounts of money are being spent on nuclear and the destructive capability. It’s something that we don’t even want to talk a bout, today, because you don’t want to hear it, it’s too depressing. So, we want to see if we can denuclearize and I think that’s very possible…- U.S. President Donald Trump – Speech at the 2025 World Economic Forum – 1-25-2025 (on the third day of his presidency.)
One cannot exist without the other. Without civil nuclear power, there is no military nuclear power, and without military nuclear power, there is no civil nuclear power…”- President Macron of France - 8-12-2020
Armageddon Man is a Cornered Rat
We are in a unique and pivotal era in human history in which two strong forces are in a collision, the outcome of which confrontation will shape all future human history.
Definitions
According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, “Denuclearize is a transitive verb meaning: to remove nuclear arms from [or] prohibit the use of nuclear arms in.”
We don’t know who made the word a part of Mr. Trump’s vocabulary, but we’re glad it popped out of his mouth in his speech to the Davosians at the recent WEF 25 meeting.
Although the Great Dissembler, despite his Davos statement, has signed executive orders enabling just the opposite of his words, it gives us the opportunity to adopt, enlarge and popularize the term ‘Denuclearization’ to mean: “Eliminating the ‘nuclear enterprise’ across the board in both its technological forms of weapons and energy production” – both of which leave a legacy of long-lived radioactive waste lethal to all life forms.
We are pairing the term ‘Denuclearization’ in contrast to what we are calling ‘Renuclearization,’ meaning the current propaganda and funding campaign being carried out by international pro-nuclear forces of all stripes to both ‘modernize’ and ‘upgrade’ nuclear weapons arsenals, as well as attempting to resuscitate a moribund nuclear power industry suffering from what Amory Lovins once presciently dubbed, “An overdose of market forces.”
We are suggesting that a resurgent nuclear free/anti-nuclear movement begin thinking of itself as the Denuclearization Movement.
Two Trends in Collision
The planetarian impulse for urgency of denucearization is growing so strong that even Trump has tried to co-opt the concept. We can see that as progress countering the nuclear enterprise’s full court press for Renuclearization.
Here is a suggestive chart of two currently strong global counter trends at work in our world:
Nuclear Situational Awareness
The Roots Action Team describes the current U.S. nuclear energy situation like this:
A rebirth of nuclear power is threatened in the United States. It stems from a combination of factors, including the U.S. government's refusal to seriously address actually clean energy, the political and propaganda power of the nuclear weapons and nuclear energy industries, the poor quality of U.S. education, the sad state of corporate media, and the rise of a tech-firm oligarchy.
In the absence of actual intelligence, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google are making grand plans to use nuclear energy to power their Artificial Intelligence installations. Even the site of the most famous (even if never properly understood) U.S. nuclear disaster, Three Mile Island, is making plans for courting new disasters, despite strong local opposition.
Why is nuclear power a bad idea? The top six reasons might be these:
1. There is no solution whatsoever to the indisputable problem of nuclear waste disposal.
2. There is no solution to the risk of more Three Mile Island- , Chernobyl- , Fukushima-like disasters -- or, if there is, it has not persuaded any private insurance companies to take the risk of insuring nuclear power plants. The people of the United States will foot the bill (not to mention the cancer deaths) from the next catastrophe -- whether accidental or caused by an attack (nuclear plants being prime targets for terrorism/war).
3. Nuclear energy is not "green," but slow, dangerous, expensive, and inefficient.
4. Solar, wind, and tide energy solutions have been progressing even faster in reality than has nuclear energy in propaganda. While the solution of lower energy use has always been staring us in the face, the solution of energy that is cleaner, safer, faster, and cheaper is now well established.
5. Drone warfare has predictably spread far and wide, turning every nuclear power plant into a self-imposed nuclear weapon.
6. The nuclear energy and weapons industries rise or fall together. The energy technology is used as a stepping stone to the weapons. The energy waste is used as material for Depleted Uranium weapons. Nuclear energy powers the submarines that carry the weapons. And military contractors are working to give the world the marvelous gift of portable nuclear reactors that can be brought into war zones -- in an apparent effort to win a prize for the worst idea ever.
But dozens of U.S. cities and counties are nuclear-free zones. No nuclear weapons or energy allowed. There is no reason that U.S. states cannot take the same step.

Debunking the Pernicious Nukes-Are-Necessary Delusions
As the succinct Sierra Club Fact Sheet summarizes,
“The nuclear industry has been selling the world a story that nuclear power is a solution to climate change because it does not generate carbon dioxide (CO2), a major greenhouse gas. While this is true of the nuclear chain reaction itself, the front and back ends of nuclear power generate a large volume of CO2 and leave a trail of endlessly dangerous radioactivity along the way.”
It goes on to tick off the following supporting points of undeniable, documented evidence:
· Nuclear power has a big carbon footprint. At the front end of nuclear power, carbon energy is used for uranium mining, milling, processing, conversion, and enrichment, as well as for transportation, formulation of rods and construction of nuclear reactors (power plants). At the back end, there is the task of isolation of highly radioactive nuclear waste for millennia—a task which science has so far not been able to address. Large amounts of water are also used, first in mining and then in cooling the reactors.
· Nuclear power takes too long to deploy. Construction of the 1500 new reactors that the nuclear industry claims are needed to address global warming would mean opening a new reactor once every 2 weeks forthe next 60 years. Reactors can take 10-15 years to build with an estimated cost of $12-15 billion each. In the past, cost and time needed for construction have each more than doubled from original estimates. We need to supply low-carbon energy sources NOW.
· Nuclear power is not suited for warming climates. Nuclear reactors need enormous amounts of cool water to continually remove heat from their cores. Reactors have been forced to close during heat waves due to warmth of sea, lake or river water — justwhen electricity is being used most.
· Nuclear power is not flexible. Nuclear is all-or-nothing power. A reactor can’t be geared to produce less power when electricity from renewables (like wind and solar) increases on the grid.
· Nuclear subsidies rob research on renewables. Nuclear power has been subsidized throughout most of its fuel chain. In 2011 the Union of Concerned Scientists published Nuclear Power, Still Not Viable without Subsidies. This report shows that in some cases subsidies were greater than the value of the electricity produced. Cost of nuclear is going up, while cost of renewables is going down. Estimates for new reactors are, on average, four times higher than estimates from just eight years ago. Estimates for new reactors are invariably far less than the final cost, with the final cost often doubling.
The unavoidable conclusion:
“RENEWABLES ARE THE REAL ANSWER!”
Denuclearization is the only rational ‘nuclear option.’
A Brief History of Denuclearization
Writing on Counterpunch, commentator Alace Slater’s says it is Time to Change Course and Change the Conversation from Doomsday to Peace Day
“It’s time to transform the clock and change the conversation! Dire warnings about Doomsday have done little to increase our world’s safety these 77 years. It’s time to speak about the many possibilities and missed opportunities to create the new dawning of a Peace Day, changing the clock of doom to a clock that can tick off the many solutions that have been ignored and disregarded We must stop giving our blessing and consent to endless steps to “control” arms that lead to ever more danger as illustrated by the aging Doomsday clock.
“Instead, we must demand their abolition, as we move to a nuclear free world at peace unthreatened by catastrophic annihilation. Indeed, scholars writing of the sad story of endless negotiations to control arms but never to abolish them have even coined a new term for the meaningless steps to nowhere–anti-preneurism–where instead of the US proposing abolition, or total and complete disarmament, or elimination of weapons, it is always proposing new meaningless steps towards illusory progress!
“To begin a new conversation for abolition, we must acknowledge the missed opportunities and broken promises since the dawn of the nuclear age. At the very beginning, in 1945, Stalin asked Truman to put the nuclear bomb under international control at the newly established United Nations. The US rejected Russia’s proposal and Russia got the bomb! [Source]
Slater reminds us of the fabric of lies that the history of the nuclear complex reveals and concludes,
'“We are at a turning point in history. It is time to change the conversation with bold new proposals. Proposals that are guaranteed to bring us a respite from the growing terror. Proposals that will bring a shift in planetary consciousness allowing us to respond cooperatively to the impending cataclysmic climate disaster down the road! Proposals that will usher in a rising dawn and change the Doomsday Clock to a new Peace Day clock. Mother Earth grows impatient with the folly of humankind.
“Here are a series of steps that are most likely to lead to peace on earth if the US is ready to mobilize against what has been described as the MICIMATT (Military, Industrial, Congressional, Intelligence, Media, Academic Think Tank complex) and work for peace.
1. Take up repeated Russian and Chinese proposals for treaties to ban weapons in space and cyberwar
2. Reinstate the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with Russia and remove U.S. missiles from Romania and Poland
3. Remove US nuclear weapons from five NATO states in a deal for Russia removing its recently placed nuclear weapons in Belarus
4. Take all nuclear weapons off high alert and separate the warheads from their delivery systems as China does– the wisdom of the East
5. Dismantle NATO and respect and honor the United Nations
“There’s little doubt that Russia and China would be willing partners in these initiatives. They have been proposing them to the United States and voting on them in the UN for more than ten years.

Who’s in Charge Here? – The Democracy v.s. Oligarchy Historical Pattern
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, “Oligarchy is defined as “government by the few, especially despotic power exercised by a small and privileged group for corrupt or selfish purposes. Oligarchies in which members of the ruling group are wealthy or exercise their power through their wealth are known as plutocracies.”
Overt and - more recently covert - rule by elite minorities (oligarchy and plutocracy) has been a persistent feature of political history. As contenting hereditary kingdoms transitioned to contending, allegedly sovereign democratic states, the behind-the-scenes, out-of-public-awareness influence of domestic, regional and transnational elites has continued.
This is easily and extensively documented historical reality – not to be reflexively and uncritically dismissed as so-called ‘crazy conspiracy theory’ - a thought-stopping, psychological operations (psyop) epithet of which to be wary that is widely promulgated by intelligence and PR agencies.
Two extensively documented examples from recent times are the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the Bilderberg Group. We encourage you to look at these presentations of evidence from independent sources, and come to your own critical conclusions.
The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)
CFR was founded in 1921 and has served as a revolving door of power as its members have dominated in the presidential cabinets of both parties, regulatory agencies, government departments as well as heading major corporations.
The extent of this organization’s consistent historical influence throughout the century following its founding is suggested by this short list of U.S. government positions its members have filled:
· 21 Secretaries of War/Defense
· 19 Secretaries of the Treasury
· 18 Secretaries of State
· 16 Directors of the CIA
CFR Membership includes many key mainstream media personalities as well as prominent figures and familiar names in academia, foreign policy, trade and economics. A short representative list of members includes these individuals whose names are familiar ‘household names’ to people of our generation:
George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Sandra Day O’Connor, Dick Cheney, Les Aspin, Colin Powel. Robert Gates, Brent Scowcroft, Jesse Jackson, Mario Cuomo, Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, David Brinkley, John Chancellor, Diane Sawyer, Barbara Walters, Cyrus Vance, Paul Volker, Henry Kissinger, George Schultz, Bruce Babbitt, Howard Baker, Dianne Feinstein, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Chuck Hagel, Gary Hart, John McCain, George Mitchel, Bill Moyers, Jay Rockefeller, Donna Shalala, Strobe Talburt, Richard Nixon, Hubert Humphrey, George McGovern, Gerald Forde, Jimmie Carter, Winona LaDuke, Michael Dukakis, Al Gore and John Kerry.

The Bildergerger Meetings
These yearly gatherings were begun by Prince Bernard of the Netherlands in 1954 at the Hotel de Bilderberg in Oosterbeek, Netherlands, and have continued ever since.
The Encyclopedia Britannica entry for this regular annual event reads: “Bilderberg Meetings, annual meetings of 120 to 150 political leaders, government officials, and experts from industry, finance, media, and academia in Europe and North America.”
According to its organizational website,
Founded in 1954, the Bilderberg Meeting is an annual conference designed to foster dialogue between Europe and North America. Every year, between 120-140 political leaders and experts from industry, finance, labour, academia and the media are invited to take part in the Meeting. About two thirds of the participants come from Europe and the rest from North America; approximately a quarter from politics and government and the rest from other fields.
The Bilderberg Meeting is a forum for informal discussions about major issues. The meetings are held under the Chatham House Rule, which states that participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s) nor any other participant may be revealed.
Thanks to the private nature of the Meeting, the participants take part as individuals rather than in any official capacity, and hence are not bound by the conventions of their office or by pre-agreed positions. As such, they can take time to listen, reflect and gather insights. There is no detailed agenda, no resolutions are proposed, no votes are taken, and no policy statements are issued.
Here’s how these events are viewed from the Middle East.

The Transnational Banking and Finance Network
A famous quote attributed to Mayer Amschel Rothschild, founder of the Rothschild banking dynasty, tells it like it is: “Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws”
A hierarchy of transnational and national banking institutions is another network of unelected power holders with immense influence on geopolitics and on nuclear investment policies. Its important constituents include The Bank for International Settlements (BIS); the network of national banks; the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund – both established by the Bretton Woods Agreement in 1944.
To not acknowledge the key roles in world affairs played by these unelected, oligarchic institutions and their transnational corporate allies and is to be in disempowering and dysfunctional denial of geopolitical and economic reality. The formation of any effective strategy for democratic reform of this system requires such situational awareness.
The Locus of Power Shifts Over Time
Most recently, the locus of this persistent historical pattern of elite minority rule from behind the public scenes has shifted to an influential transnational organization of economic, industrial and governmental power holders calling itself The World Economic Forum (WEF).
Its founder and public face is Klaus Schwab, who boasts openly of having ‘penetrated’ (his word) most of the world’s nations with WEF allies and members of the WEF Global Young Leaders Program. To reflexively poo-poo these enduring, shape-shifting power dynamics without examining the evidence is to deprive ones self of an evidence-based situational awareness of on-going geopolitical reality.
What a Resurgent Denuclearization Movement Needs to Know About the WEF
The World Economic Forum officially describes itself as,
“…the [sic] International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation…. In a world marked by complex challenges, the World Economic Forum engages political, business, academic, civil society and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas. Established in 1971 as a not-for-profit foundation, it is independent, impartial and not tied to any special interests, upholding the highest standards of governance and moral and intellectual integrity.”
Not everyone agrees with that benign, philanthropic-sounding description.
Who and What Is the WEF and Why Should We Care?
According to evidence-based commentator Sarah Lawton,
“The World Economic Forum (WEF) is a fascist regime with the goal of World Domination by 2030. If you have not heard of the WEF or believe this to be a conspiracy theory, this information will help…. The UN is the government arm of the WEF. The UN peacekeeping forces are the UN’s military branch, and they answer ultimately to the WEF.”
What Ms. Lawton terms “ The World Economic Forum-UN Conglomerate” is seeking to establish Agenda 2030. She explaines:
The WEF was formed in 1971 and they meet in Davos, Switzerland every year to make deals, organize their leadership, workshop their goals, and wargame their upcoming world events. Their leader, Klaus Schwab, and his top advisor, Yuval Harari, have written books explaining their thoughts on what they are calling their 4th Industrial Revolution. It is also termed, “The Great Reset.” That word “revolution” means an overthrow of every government, every culture, every people, and every monetary system worldwide. This is a violent, genocidal revolution where they plan to reduce the global population by 7.5 billion people by the year 2030 to meet their UN2030 Agenda goals. You can go to their website at https://www.weforum.org/ to see who they are and you can find documentaries, alternative media, recorded clips from their meetings, and much more via my Telegram channel for more information. https://t.me/healthfoodWEFtakeover
The WEF trains leaders for political office and then funds and manages their campaigns to propel their people into office where they will then govern according to the edicts of their WEF masters. It is called their Global Young Leaders Program today and was called their Global Leaders for Tomorrow prior to 2005. The WEF also has some of their more senior representatives grouped as “Agenda Contributors.” What Agenda? That is their UN2030 Agenda mentioned earlier. Schwab brags that they use these programs to “penetrate” government cabinets, and in doing so, now have WEF representatives dominating governments across the West.

“Joined At The Hip” - The ‘Nuclear Enterprise’ Defined
The inseparable, mutually co-dependent relationship between nuclear energy, weapons and waste production that Mr. Macron affirms in his significant - though little-noticed - 2020 speech in the French industrial and educational center of Le Creusot is clearly documented by many sources, including:

That this co-dependent relationship is implicitly recognized by the existence of the so-called Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s Nuclear Enterprise Directorate, which describes its mission as, “Provide innovative support to DoD warfighters, OSD, the Joint Staff, the Interagency, Allies and Partners, to ensure a safe, secure, reliable, and effective strategic deterrent.”
However the watchdog agency the Government Accountability Office (GAO) is not satisfied with the job the Nuclear Enterprise Directorate is doing.
A New Conversation About Denuclearization is Urgently Needed
In an article by respected commentator Alice Slater, first published on Toward Freedom, and republished on Counterpunch, she writes:
To begin a new conversation for abolition, we must acknowledge the missed opportunities and broken promises since the dawn of the nuclear age. At the very beginning, in 1945, Stalin asked Truman to put the nuclear bomb under international control at the newly established United Nations. The US rejected Russia’s proposal and Russia got the bomb!3
When the wall came down in Germany and Gorbachev dissolved the Warsaw Pact and freed all of occupied Eastern Europe, he proposed to Reagan that the US and Russia eliminate all our nuclear weapons, provided the US would end its “Star Wars” program to dominate and control the military use of space. Reagan turned him down and Gorbachev withdrew Russia’s offer.4
Gorbachev, anxious about the fate of East Germany, urged Reagan not to take a united Germany into NATO. The Russians lost 27 million people to the Nazi onslaught of WWII! The US assured him that NATO would not expand “one inch to the east.”5
Despite repeated request to the US from Russian President Putin to honor those US promises made to Gorbachev and again to Yeltsin, the US, driven by visions of Empire steadily expanded Nato eastward. It began with Clinton’s expansion of NATO to Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic in 1999, followed by Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia in 2004, and Albania, Croatia, Montenegro and North Macedonia between 2009 and 20176. And during the war in Ukraine, Sweden and Finland joined NATO.
The US stations nuclear weapons in 5 states: Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Belgium and Turkey. Russia, during the Ukraine war, put nuclear weapons in Belarus.
Clinton led NATO in the bombing of Kosovo in 1999, bypassing Russia’s veto in the Security Council, violating the UN treaty we signed never to commit a war of aggression against another nation unless under imminent threat of attack;
Clinton refused Putin’s offer to each cut our massive nuclear arsenals to 1000 bombs each and call all the others to the table to negotiate for their elimination, provided we stopped developing missile sites in Romania;
Bush walked out of the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in 2002 and Obama put the new missile base in Romania while Trump built another in Poland;
Obama pledged over one trillion dollars for the next 30 years for two new nuclear bomb factories, missiles, submarines, airplanes and warheads which was upped even more by Trump and Biden.7
Despite repeated requests from Russia and China to negotiate treaties to ban weapons in space and cyberwar in UN resolutions and negotiating forums, the US refuses to cooperate.8
We are at a turning point in history. It is time to change the conversation with bold new proposals. Proposals that are guaranteed to bring us a respite from the growing terror. Proposals that will bring a shift in planetary consciousness allowing us to respond cooperatively to the impending cataclysmic climate disaster down the road! Proposals that will usher in a rising dawn and change the Doomsday Clock to a new Peace Day clock. Mother Earth grows impatient with the folly of humankind.
Here are a series of steps that are most likely to lead to peace on earth if the US is ready to mobilize against what has been described as the MICIMATT (Military, Industrial, Congressional, Intelligence, Media, Academic Think Tank complex) and work for peace.
Take up repeated Russian and Chinese proposals for treaties to ban weapons in space and cyberwar
Reinstate the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with Russia and remove U.S. missiles from Romania and Poland

Ain’t No Power Like the Power of The People - Introducing 3MSP and the Nuclear Truth Project
The planetarian impulse and urgency for denucearization is growing so strong that even Trump has tried to co-opt the concept. That’s progress.”
The Third Meeting of States Parties (3MSP) to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) will be held at the United Nations in New York between 3 – 7 March 2025. There will be parallel people’s meetings facilitated by the Nuclear Truth roject. Here’s what it looks like:
The Nuclear Truth Project (NTP) aims to build support and political will to maintain momentum for our ultimate goal – the total elimination of nuclear weapons and redress of associated nuclear harms. This can be achieved by seeking assistance for those who have been harmed, preventing future and further harms, and addressing any possible remediation of harms from the widespread ecological damage that has already been done.
Our Vision: the total elimination of nuclear weapons and associated nuclear harms. This includes redress and assistance for those who have been harmed, the remediation for the widespread health and ecological damage from past and present nuclear activities, and preventing future nuclear harms.
Our Mission: Our mission is to build support and political will to maintain momentum for our Vision by supporting Indigenous Peoples and affected communities with advocacy, education, and networking. This extends to educating the general public and governments about the harms of nuclear activities. We seek to engage people in local, national and international discussions about radioactive violence and how interrelated nuclear activities have and continue to affect their/our lives.
Our Goals: The overarching goals of the Nuclear Truth Project are to:
Educate – Document and demonstrate to people the genocidal nature of nuclear weapons and the harms that nuclear weapons and associated nuclear activities have caused and continue to cause;
Advocate – Build agency to empower people, including those who have suffered disproportionately and those who face nuclear annihilation;
Network – Build accountability and transparency measures to aid in the implementation and universalization of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and strengthen solidarity between and within nuclear impacted communities.
The Nuclear Truth Project recognizes the collaborative work to achieve the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), which bridged the divide between diplomats, activists, academics, and affected communities. This resulted in a remarkable reframing of the narrative to humanitarian disarmament principles. Instead of a technocratic focus on the military doctrine of deterrence, the work to achieve the Treaty concentrated on the humanitarian and ecological effects of nuclear weapons use and threat of use, encompassing the vast array of nuclear activities inherent to the bomb project. Those who have suffered disproportionately through nuclear use, threat of use, development, production and testing and who share the goals of the TPNW are at the center of the Nuclear Truth Project effort.
The EON SOS Team will be there.
Hope to see you.
