TV + online: “Smart Strategies to Organize for Peace and No Nuclear Weapons”

The March 2023 program on “Glen’s Parallax Perspectives” TV series provides fresh insights and smart strategies to help us achieve peace in the world and abolish nuclear weapons worldwide.

In this TV program, I address these main points:

Point #1.    The U.S. has been provoking nuclear weapons since the 1940s.

Point #2.    Nuclear weapons exist in the overall context of U.S. foreign policy. 

  • To achieve peace, we must debunk the MISTAKEN ASSUMPTIONS that have trapped us in endless wars and the suicide of nuclear weapons.
  • To get out of those traps, we must think clearly and creatively – and de-militarize our foreign policy.

Point #3.    The American people – deep down – are afraid of this existential crisis, but they feel stuck and don’t know what to do.

Point #4.    To overcome the existential fear and move our nation toward peace, we must help the public ground itself in our best values and deepest needs.

Point #5.    The problems came from the top down, so solutions must come from the bottom up.  Only a nonviolent GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT can change our foreign policy and abolish nuclear weapons.

Point #6.    We can achieve these goals if we devise fresh strategies and change public policies.

Point #7.    Let’s understand and obey the 1970 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Let’s support the new Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.

Finally:      I close this TV program with encouragements and sources of smart information.
