Humanity is on the brink of extinction! Nuclear power is not safe. 48 of America\u2019s nuclear power plants are leaking and there is no way to get rid of nuclear waste.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>America\u2019s reckless provocations of both Russia and China, two nuclear-armed countries, risk a nuclear holocaust from which no one survives. Climate change and global warming, if not mitigated immediately, will end the human experiment on earth sooner rather than later.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A shocking documentary that traces the origins of U.S. genocides, military interventions and wars from the 15th century when the white, colonial explorers first came to the Americas to\u00a0the very present. American Exceptionalism, Manifest Destiny, and the right to claim the earth\u00a0and its resources as their own are the beliefs that are the foundation of American foreign\u00a0policy in the 21st Century that has humanity on the brink of extinction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Helen Caldicott, Ray McGovern, Chris Hedges, Ann Wright, Peter Kusnick, Bill McKibben,\u00a0David Vine<\/strong> and other activists, scholars, and authors explain and clarify the crisis and\u00a0threats to life on the planet.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h0bsrFyLz6U?ecver=1\" width=\"690\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The only real hope lies in the result of the epic battle for humanity\u2019s survival between two contrasting world views. On one side is the unipolar, capitalist world-domination by the U.S. enforced by the most lethal military the world has ever seen.<\/p>\n<p>On the other side is a view held by Russia, China and the BRICS nations built on a multi-polar world based on respect, the sovereignty of all nations, international law, the equal value\u00a0of all people, and cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>So here we are. Humanity\u2019s epic battle for survival. An old\u00a0paradigm based on white, colonial domination and empire\u00a0versus the shared vision of others who are working for a\u00a0peaceful world based on justice, international law and the\u00a0prosperity of all people.<\/p>\n<p>The only question is, will the crazed neocons in Washington,\u00a0realizing they have lost, take the whole world down with them.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/the-cliff-of-nuclear-annihilation-humanity-is-on-the-brink-of-extinction\/5575739\">http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/the-cliff-of-nuclear-annihilation-humanity-is-on-the-brink-of-extinction\/5575739<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-66656","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66656","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=66656"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66656\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=66656"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=66656"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=66656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
