And you thought that ended in 1970?
JANUARY 2015 FEDERAL COURT NEWS: The Marshall Islands Republic sues to try to stop the U.S. Government from continuing nuclear proliferation in violation of the 1970 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
President Barack Obama (Democrat) claims to be opposed to nuclear proliferation while in reality, he supports it 100% as Commander in Chief of the United States Military. F-35 strike fighter jets are designed to be dual capable to carry nuclear weapons.
U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy (Democrat) ,
U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (won the Democrat Primary and then slithered
like a chamelion and changed to a fake “independent”)
and Congressman Peter Welch (Democrat) of
Vermont are all 100% in favor of nuclear proliferation because they
actively encouraged the U.S. Air Force to make a decision to base
a fleet of F-35 Strike Fighter Jets in the most populated area of Vermont.

populated area of the State of Vermont.

nuclear weapons.
The Mayor of Burlington, Vermont, Miro Weinberger (Democrat) ,

Marshall Islands Republic Brings Nuclear Weapons Nations to Court
by Tara Dorabji
Thursday Jan 15th, 2015
The Republic of the Marshall Islands bring the world’s nuclear giants,
including the United States to court in an attempt to force them to disarm.
The lawsuit makes the case that the
nuclear nations have failed to fulfill their disarmament obligations under
the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty, which was signed into law in 1970.
Every year 100 billion dollars is spent on nuclear weapon forces globally.
The US conducted 67 nuclear tests in the Republic of the Marshall Islands
from 1946 to 1958. These tests are equivalent to 1.7 Hiroshima bombs
being exploded daily for 12 years.
Health effects suffered by the
Marshallese include jellyfish babies, children who were born without arms,
or without heads, brains, but with a heart that beat nevertheless for
some reason.
The lawsuit seeks no monetary compensation, but moves
to compel the nuclear weapons nations signed onto the NPT to commence
negotiations to achieve nuclear disarmament by 2020.
Listen to a conversation with Tony De Brum, the foreign minister of the Republic
of the Marshall Islands and Rick Wayman the Program Director at the
Nuclear Age Peace Foundation. This interview first aired on KPFA’s APEX Express.
Music is by F.O.B. Marshallese.
Friday, January 16, 2015 there was a hearing on the case at the Oakland Federal courthouse
at 9 am. People gathered at 8:30 am in solidarity with the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

Judge tentatively dismisses Marshall Islands suit against U.S. over nuke treaty
By Bob Egelko on January 15, 2015
…accused the United States of violating an international nuclear weapons treaty
by working to expand its nuclear arsenal …
…lawsuit, filed in April, accuses the United States of violating the 1970
Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which commits participants to work toward the
abolition of nuclear weapons….
… President Obama, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 for his advocacy of
nuclear non-proliferation, opposes the lawsuit
and has sought to dismiss it….
…Nuclear nations’ unwillingness to negotiate for disarmament “puts the plaintiff as well
as all other people on the planet at greater risk of nuclear war,” Krieger said….
