During the G8 summit, which will be held at Evian end May begin of June, we want to realize an anticapitalistic, alternative, anti-wars and antimilitarist village. In this village we want to ally meetings, political debates and cultural experiences (theater, music, videos…): “Yes to the fight but yes to the party also”. We want this village to be the expression of those without voice, in rupture with the institutional movements in order to invent other possible ways by practicing a free and self-administered World. The V.A.A.A.G village will reflect a multiplicity of initiatives demonstrating by their action what animates those for whom “Resisting is creating”. read full story / add a comment

The message is if you're Israel, India or Pakistan it's OK to have WMD. In fact you can even engage in a dangerous arms-race if you're India and Pakistan, or force your enimies to try to acquire the same weapons if your threatened by Israels 400 nukes. But if you're Egypt, Syria, Iran or North Korea you're not allowed to be in the club. Why? read full story / add a comment

India’s nuclear energy development program has allowed it to obtain the essential materials and facilities needed to produce nuclear weapons. This infrastructure includes seven operating nuclear power plants, two research reactors at the Bhabha Atomic Research Center near Bombay, where India produced its stock of weapons-grade plutonium, and resources for producing and reprocessing plutonium and enriching uranium. Indian pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWR) can be used to generate electricity, as well as producing plutonium and tritium. As additional indigenously built nuclear power reactors become operational, India’s capability to produce plutonium for nuclear weapons will increase. Although India is a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, only some Indian nuclear reactors are subject to IAEA safegu read full story / add a comment

The Israelis are experts at hiding their WMD program and have continued to do so since the 1940s. For instance United States inspectors visited their Dimona nuclear plant seven times during the 1960s, but they were unable to obtain an accurate picture of the activities carried out there, largely due to tight Israeli control over the timing and agenda of the visits. The Israelis went so far as to install false control room panels and to brick over elevators and hallways that accessed certain areas of the facility. The inspectors were able to report that there was no clear scientific research or civilian nuclear power program justifying such a large reactor - circumstantial evidence of the Israeli bomb program - but found no evidence of "weapons related activities" such as the existence of a plutonium reprocessing plant. http://globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/israel/nuke.htm read full story / add a comment
