gave me great hope. To quote Ellsberg:"As I just told my son Robert: He's long known that I work better under a deadline. It turns out that IDaniel Ellsberg has done just that; an avalanche of interviews and webinars have followed his announcement. And now the RootsAction Education Fund has teamed up with the Ellsberg Initiative for Peace and Democracy to co-sponsor, April 24-30, to celebrate his life's work and"to honor peacemaking and whistleblowing.
Known as the insider who blew the whistle on U.S. government lying about the Vietnam War, Ellsberg's high level military planning experience began earlier. Ellsberg was a nuclear war planner during the 1950s and '60s. For decades he has put himself on the line to oppose those evil plans—writing, speaking, standing up, and sitting-in against the threat of nuclear annihilation. Ellsberg has been hauled off to jail for civil disobedience against war over 80 times.
At 92, with mind sharp as ever, Ellsberg remains an undisputed expert on"national security." In this unusual, he shares his unvarnished thoughts about the threat of nuclear annihilation and how it might be defused. Can we simply ignore the reality of the world's largest nuclear arsenals on hair-trigger alert—amid escalation of a new cold war with heightened nuclear dangers? Indeed, the U.S. just enacted its biggest military budget in history, with unprecedented investment in weapons of mass destruction and their deployment.Here's a chance to honor him byOur work is licensed under Creative Commons .
