Civilization Is for Making Peace, Not War [1]

By Andreas Toupadakis, Ph.D.

Guest Writer for Wake Up World

Following a career in industrial and classified-government positions, former nuclear scientist (and current lecturer for U.C. Davis Department of Chemistry) Andreas Toupadakis Ph.D. quit the nuclear labs in January 2000 [2], realizing that government scientific programs are only interested in developing systems of war, not peace.

This article is adapted from a speech delivered by Dr. Toupadakis in the months following his resignation, at the “World Conference Against Atomic & Hydrogen Bombs” at Waseda University in Tokyo. Almost 15 years on, Dr. Toupadakis’ message of sanity and humanity is (unfortunately) still as important today as it was then.
