[Peace-discuss] FW: From Sputnik, quoting Helen Caldecott

[C G Estabrook]

"In 1985, the Caldicott-inspired International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War won the Nobel Peace Prize. The organization beat out Caldicott herself, who had been nominated by Linus Pauling, the renowned chemist, anti-nuclear activist, and 1962 Nobel Peace Prize winner.” <https://grist.org/article/dicum-caldicott/>.

Caldicott’s (b. 1938) political judgement is excellent: e.g. <https://sputniknews.com/politics/201709071057160496-trump-afghan-strategy-generates-terror>.

A physician, she recalls being alerted to the treat of nuclear war by the 1957 Nevil Shute novel On the Beach. —CGE

>> Yes well Helen did win the Nobel Peace Prize for her work against the nuclear power industry and radiation. There has been ample documentation already on this list and elsewhere that the nuclear power industry has given enormous sums to the Dems. In any event, WAND is the Brainchild of Helen Caldicott and here the Dems are bringing in a Pimp for the Nuclear Power Industry under the cover of Helen’s  good name and reputation in order to promote nuclear power. Truly perverse and disgusting! But what else do you expect from the Dems? He who pays the Piper calls the tune.
