I have to hand it to them: this clock is a fantastic PR gimmick, as is their name: “Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.” “Look how close midnight is. We’re all gonna die!” “We have to believe it, they’re SCIENTISTS!”
Check the resumes of their president and CEO and the member of their “Science and Security Board,” and note the complete absence of any science background.
It’s an absolute load of malarkey, but it is treated as Gospel.
The whole magazine & clock was created to stampede the West (menacing the US!) into unilateral nuclear disarmament.
Remember the 3rd World War that happened when Reagan deployed Perishing missiles to Europe?
Yeah I slept through it too!
