The United States and Russia are dangerously close to stumbling into a war over Ukraine that could go nuclear and kill hundreds of millions of people in a single day, a Nobel laureate who is one of the world’s leading experts on the dangers of nuclear weapons warned in Washington this week. “It’s an incredibly dangerous situation. …If there’s a nuclear war tonight, that’s the Northern Hemisphere (of the entire world) gone, Dr. Helen Caldicott told a National Press Club Newsmakers news conference on Wednesday. She was speaking on the topic: “Ukraine: Is Nuclear Conflict Likely?” Caldicott is an Australian...

The original moonbat, GeorgeMonbiot, columnist for the left wing UK Guardian, now admits that he was bamboozled by fearmongers whipping up anti-nuclear fears. Over the last fortnight I've made a deeply troubling discovery. The anti-nuclear movement to which I once belonged has misled the world about the impacts of radiation on human health. The claims we have made are ungrounded in science, unsupportable when challenged, and wildly wrong. We have done other people, and ourselves, a terrible disservice. I began to see the extent of the problem after a debate last week with Helen Caldicott. Dr Caldicott is the...

With a star-studded team of certified, dyed-in-the-wool progressive nutbars of every flavor, including Medea Benjamin, Tony Benn, Helen Caldicott, Linda Foley (yes!), Janeane Garofalo, Naomi Klein, Gore Vidal, and Howard Zinn, Independent World Television is poised to capture the enormous, heretofore-untapped global market for demented leftist raving. (Hat tip: Chrenkoff.) The network is raising a $7 million start-up budget from individual donors and foundations. The MacArthur, Ford and Phoebe Haas Trust foundations and the Canadian Auto Workers Union have contributed to a planning study. In its next phase, IWTnews will build the online community necessary for an international mass fundraising...

She's already been on for quite awhile -- spewing stunningly idiotic, extremist, arrogant nonsense: We are in Iraq to steal the oil, the Bush admin admitts it, we've murdered at least 100,000 (really more like 300,000) half of them children, global warming is a "scientific fact," the radiation from nuclear waste with "detroy evolution," reading her books will enable you to "defeat Dick Cheney in a debate," etc, etc. The host just said they will have Dr. Delusional on for another 90 minutes.

Of the Red State hype spin sending Liberals for trauma therapy, writer, activist, pediatrician Dr. Helen Caldicott takes the proverbial blue cake. The re-election of George W. Bush she says, may end the human race. When it comes to Bush panic, Caldicott, shriller than songstress Barbra Streisand, more prolific than Susan Sarandon, is a Michael Moore in a skirt. "I don’t think I’ve ever felt so personally, politically devastated in my life and that includes when (former President Ronald) Reagan won a second term of office--which was pretty devastating for me as I was so heavily involved in the anti-nuclear...
