Many experts, such as former weapons inspector Scott Ritter and the Secretary General of the United Nations, are warning that the world is at the highest risk for a nuclear war in decades. Yet, the United States continues to prevent nuclear treaties from existing, refuses to join the UN Nuclear Ban Treaty and is escalating aggression against major nuclear states, including giving Israel carte blanche to defy international law. Clearing the FOG speaks with Alice Slater, who worked to bring the Nuclear Ban Treaty into existence and currently works with a number of groups to prevent nuclear war. Slater discusses the history of nuclear weapons and the growing risk of war as more countries consider arming themselves, as well as what we need to do to prevent nuclear annihilation.

In this episode we discuss how she created separate playlists, played movies in the background as she wrote and used different vocabulary lists to create the distinct narrative voices in her novel, why after years of tinkering she was able to finish the novel in a month and why she loves BookTok.

We are paying tribute to the best of us this week. The booksellers. Keepers of the flame, beacons in the night, purveyors of meaning in a cold, dark universe … usually.Alice Slater used to be a member of that celebrated guild, now she's written about the light and dark side of the trade in her debut smash, Death of a Bookseller.

The United Kingdom recently announced that it was sending armor-piercing rounds with depleted uranium to Ukraine. The US developed this weapon during the Cold War to use against Russian tanks. Alice Slater of the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space first wrote about the dangers of depleted uranium weapons back in 1996. She discusses the environmental risks as well as the increased threat of nuclear war with Mark Dunlea of the Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

Co-authors Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J.S. Davies discuss their new book, "War in Ukraine: Making Sense of a Senseless Conflict" on Democracy Now and CODEPINK Congress, followed by interviews with World Beyond War's Alice Slater on NATO vs. the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and RootsAction's Norman Soloman on the Defuse Nuclear War Campaign.

The Veterans for Peace (VFP_ Nuclear Posture Review warns that the danger of nuclear war is greater than ever and that nuclear disarmament must be vigorously pursued. With the first anniversary of the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) on January 22, the VFP Posture Review calls on the U.S. government to sign the treaty and to work with other nuclear-armed states to eliminate all the world's nuclear weapons. Alice Slater of World Beyond War discusses the VFP report with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Radio Network.

We continue to discuss the importance of the effort of Veterans for Peace to develop a legitimate Nuclear Posture Review with a distinguished panel including David Swanson, Executive Director of World Beyond War, Alice Slater of World Beyond War and the VFP Nuclear Abolition Working Group and Rachel Clark of VFP and the Nuclear Abolition Working Group. While the Biden Administration and the Defense Department develop their own Nuclear Posture Review which will more than likely support nuclear saber-rattling and expansion of the madness of our nuclear program, Veterans for Peace has developed an alternative NPR, an NPR that considers humanity.

Legislation has been introduced in Congress to repeal the establishment of a U.S. Space Force during the Trump administration. Alice Slater of World Beyond War discusses the need to halt the militarization of space. With Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Radio Network.

War. What is it good for? Doesn't really matter – because the wheels that keep the gears of the military industrial complex turning are spinning as furiously as ever. From comparing missile size to primal displays of brute force, the US has a big one, and we want (nay need) everyone to know it. Where's the anti-war movement of our parents' generation today? And why don't our “progressive” members of Congress stand up to the hawks? Endless war is just too profitable for shareholders to walk away, no matter the consequences, no matter the side of the aisle. And it goes beyond body count. It's changed who we are as humans.  Special thanks to guests Chris Hedges and Alice Slater. From Maffick Podcasts, Party of One. Written, hosted, and produced by Amanda Getty and Gregory Haddock.

Today on Sojourner Truth: On Friday, January 22, a UN treaty outlawing nuclear weapons went into effect, having been ratified by over 50 countries. The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which was adopted in 2017, prohibits countries from producing, testing, acquiring, possessing or stockpiling nuclear weapons. The Treaty also outlaws transferring weapons and forbids countries from permitting any nuclear explosive device to be stationed, installed or deployed within their borders. It sets the goal of achieving a nuclear-weapon-free world, saying it would serve both national and collective security interests. Any use of nuclear weapons, it adds, would be contrary to the rules of international law for armed conflict. The Treaty is certainly groundbreaking. However, the United States and other major nuclear powers have not signed it. Some are protesting in the U.S. to press the Biden administration to sign the treaty. Our guest is Alice Slater, who serves on the Board of World Beyond War, is the UN NGO Representative of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation and a member of the Global Council of Abolition 2000. She serves on the Board of Nuclear Ban U.S. and works with the NYC Working Group for the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) in the Nobel Prize winning campaign to promote the newly passed treaty to ban the bomb. Indigenous nations in the United States hard-hit by COVID-19 are alarmed by the impact on their nations in terms of loss of life and also the threat to their culture, including maintaining their traditional languages. Our guest is Ethel Branch, the former Attorney General for Navajo Nation and founder of the Navajo and Hopi Families COVID-19 relief fund. Also, on Tuesday, January 26, the people of India celebrate Republic Day. The holiday honors the date on which the Constitution of India came into effect on January 26, 1950, formally turning India into an independent republic. This was a major development for the people of India, who had suffered from hundreds of years of colonization under the British. Today, 71 years later, the people of India are still fighting for true freedom. Today, on the 71st anniversary of Republic Day, tens of thousands of protesting farmers plan to drive into India's capital city of Delhi on tractors. Many of them are women, who account for 70 percent of agricultural work, but are paid half as much as men. The farmers are protesting against agriculture reform laws passed by Parliament last September 2020. They are also demanding pay equity for women farmers and all agricultural workers. Our guest is London-based Didi Rossi, a member of Global Women's Strike, an international network campaigning for a living wage for mothers and other carers.

Our guest is Alice Slater, who serves on the Board of World Beyond War, is the UN NGO Representative of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation and a member of the Global Council of Abolition 2000. She serves on the Board of Nuclear Ban U.S. and works with the NYC Working Group for the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) in the Nobel Prize winning campaign to promote the newly passed treaty to ban the bomb. Indigenous nations in the United States hard-hit by COVID-19 are alarmed by the impact on their nations in terms of loss of life and also the threat to their culture, including maintaining their traditional languages. Our guest is Ethel Branch, the former Attorney General for Navajo Nation and founder of the Navajo and Hopi Families COVID-19 relief fund. Also, on Tuesday, January 26, the people of India celebrate Republic Day. The holiday honors the date on which the Constitution of India came into effect on January 26, 1950, formally turning India into an independent republic. This was a major development for the people of India, who had suffered from hundreds of years of colonization under the British. Today, 71 years later, the people of India are still fighting for true freedom. Today, on the 71st anniversary of Republic Day, tens of thousands of protesting farmers plan to drive into India's capital city of Delhi on tractors. Many of them are women, who account for 70 percent of agricultural work, but are paid half as much as men. The farmers are protesting against agriculture reform laws passed by Parliament last September 2020. They are also demanding pay equity for women farmers and all agricultural workers. Our guest is London-based Didi Rossi, a member of Global Women's Strike, an international network campaigning for a living wage for mothers and other carers.

Today on Sojourner Truth: On Friday, January 22, a UN treaty outlawing nuclear weapons went into effect, having been ratified by over 50 countries. The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which was adopted in 2017, prohibits countries from producing, testing, acquiring, possessing or stockpiling nuclear weapons. The Treaty also outlaws transferring weapons and forbids countries from permitting any nuclear explosive device to be stationed, installed or deployed within their borders. It sets the goal of achieving a nuclear-weapon-free world, saying it would serve both national and collective security interests. Any use of nuclear weapons, it adds, would be contrary to the rules of international law for armed conflict. The Treaty is certainly groundbreaking.

The United States spends more on military arms, equipment and personnel than any other country. More than China, Saudi Arabia, Russia and England combined, according to the National Priorities Project. We sell most of the weapons that countries like Saudi Arabia, England and others buy.In no small measure, the business of the United States is war.Between our foreign policy and our defense spending, we create markets for weaponry and wars and then pivot to respond to the siren cries of those markets.And, while the U.S. Defense Department stands resolute in its commitment to respond to climate change to protect its bases and national security interests, the Department is a major source of greenhouse gases as a profligate burner of fossil fuels.The No War 2017 Conference at American University in Washington in September sought to find paths to link the anti-way and peace movements with the climate and environmental movements. That effort naturally puts the U.S. military at the center of the debate.The conference was a project of World Beyond War, an international peace organization.I was invited to speak about the successful fight to prevent the open burning of 16 million pounds of munitions propellant at Camp Minden following an explosion of a small amount of some of the materials in 2012. After a strong grassroots effort that engaged thousands of northwest Louisiana citizens in the fight, the area’s congressman, one Senator, and a dedicated state representative.While at the conference, I conducted several interviews, three of which are included in this podcast.In order of appearance they are:Colonel (Ret.) Ann Wright;Alice Slater;and Nick Mottern.They constitute roughly the second have of the program. I talk about the conference and Camp Minden in the first half.President Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Joint Allied Commander in Europe in World War II, left office with a nationally televised Farewell Address. In it, he warned Americans to guard against the influence of the Military Industrial Complex. The video of the full 16-minute speech is below.https://youtu.be/OyBNmecVtdU

The United States is now in its 17th year of the "War on Terror" with no end in sight. President Trump is escalating aggression and tension in Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Afghanistan and is threatening Russia, Iran, North Korea and China. He wants to increase military spending by $54 billion while he cuts critical safety net programs. On top of that, militarization and the security state are growing within the United States. We discuss the impacts of living in an Empire Economy and the inherent racism with Joe Lombardo, co-coordinator of the United National Antiwar Coalition. UNAC is holding a national conference in Richmond, VA from June 16 to 18 called "Stop the Wars at Home and Abroad." Then we speak with Alice Slater of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation about the United Nations treaty to ban nuclear weapons currently being negotiated.
