For over fifty years, hundreds of thousands of people were used a guinea pigs for the pentagons nuclear madness. this was done with the same callous indifference as the criminal Tuskeegee experiments.The human toll of the government's radiation experimentation is still not known Now with the Cassini Space probe the entire earth is a testing ground for Star Wars This military insanity, the expanding military budget, and environmental devastation is being paid for by cutting healthcare, education, jobs and social programs. Hear about the history of past human radiation experiments as well as the pentagon's plans to unleash new weapons of mass destruction such as First Strike `bunker busters', depleted uranium weapons, the new `star wars' plans, what's happening with the Cassini Space probe with 72.3 lbs. of plutonium on board, and the new nuclear and laser weapons in space.
