Interdicting Proliferation Potential

The Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) involves three principal undertakings on the part of the signatories:

1) to prevent further proliferation of nuclear weapons
2) to pursue negotiations on a treaty of general and complete disarmament 
3) to facilitate the fullest possible exchange of equipment, materials, and technological information for the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. [1]

To prevent further proliferation of nukes, signatories not already having nukes agreed to make all "source" and "special nuclear materials" – and all activities involving their physical or chemical transformation – subject to the safeguards regime [2] of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for the exclusive purpose of verifying for other NPT signatories that no safeguarded materials have been used to further any military purpose.

The rationale for focusing on the purposes to which "source" and "special nuclear materials" is that no one can make a nuclear weapon without possessing tens of kilograms of fissile material – almost pure uranium-235, uranium-233, or plutonium-239.

Hence, the NPT not only allows, it even encourages the fullest possible transfer – and use, subject to IAEA Safeguards – of equipment that can be used to produce fissile material.

However, President Bush refuses to abide by the letter or spirit of the NPT.

In particular, he has no intention of ever entering into negotiations leading to nuke disarmament. [3]

Furthermore, according to his National Security Strategy (NSS), "the best way to block aspiring nuclear weapons states or nuclear terrorists" is to prevent their acquiring even the capability to produce fissile material. [4]

Therefore, Bush set out to close what he calls a "loophole" in the NPT that not only allows Iran (for example) to acquire such a capability but requires him to facilitate that acquisition.

Alas, the attendees at the 2005 NPT Review Conference (RevCon) not only refused to modify the NPT to suit Bush, but castigated the "nuclear weapons states" for refusing to pursue the 13 "practical steps" to TOTAL nuke disarmament they committed themselves to at the 2000 NPT Review Conference (6th RevCon). [5]

What to do? Scrap the NPT and replace it with the Proliferation Security Initiative, PSI [6] – developed by Bonkers Bolton from Bush's National Security Strategy.
 
Quoth Bonkers;

     "We aim ultimately not just to prevent the spread of WMD, but also to eliminate or 'roll back' such weapons from rogue states and terrorist groups that already possess them or are close to doing so.

     "While we stress peaceful and diplomatic solutions to the proliferation threat, as President Bush has said repeatedly, we rule out no options.

     "While we pursue diplomatic dialogue wherever possible, the United States and its allies must be willing to employ more robust techniques, such as (1) economic sanctions, (2) interdiction and seizure, and (3) as the case of Iraq demonstrates, preemptive military force where required".

Great Zot!

Interdiction and seizure?

Preemptive military force?

As "solutions" to what dire "proliferation threat"?

Well, according to Bonkers Bolton, the principal proliferation threat we're facing now is Iran.

     "We now know that Iran is developing a uranium mine, a uranium conversion facility, a massive uranium enrichment facility designed to house tens of thousands of centrifuges, and a heavy water production plant.

     "This costly infrastructure would support the production of both highly enriched uranium and plutonium for nuclear weapons.

     "While Iran claims that its nuclear program is peaceful and transparent, we are convinced it is otherwise".

Never mind that under the NPT, Iran has an "INALIENABLE RIGHT" to acquire, develop, and employ everything that so alarms Bolton. Never mind that all these facilities are safeguarded. And in the case of the facility built to ultimately house gas-centrifuges, the Iranians weren't even required to tell the IAEA about the existence of the centrifuges and facility until six months prior to their introducing "source" or "special nuclear materials" into them.

Well, last week, PSI "partners" all met in Warsaw, Poland, to receive a few atta-boys from Bush. [7]

     "The PSI is dedicated to stopping all aspects of the proliferation trade and to denying terrorists, rogue states, and their supplier networks access to WMD-related materials and delivery systems.

     "Together, we are working to disrupt the financial activities of networks that support proliferation, as called for in United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1540 and 1673.

     "Together, we are shutting down front companies and proliferation networks and interdicting cargo carrying these dangerous materials, whether transported by land, air, or sea".

The principal PSI success claimed? The illegal (under international law) confiscation back in 2003 of a shipment of equipment that potentially could have been used to illegally (under the NPT) physically transform Libyan undeclared "source" material.

[3] NPT disarmament provisions: "13 practical steps" toward TOTAL GLOBAL nuclear disarmament
The 13 Practical Steps for the implementation of "Article VI" adopted by the 2000 NPT Review Conference to nuclear disarmament. In light of the rules of treaty interpretation set forth in Articles 31 and 32 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, the Practical Steps lay down criteria, principles, and measures for compliance with Article VI. They constitute subsequent agreement and practice authoritatively applying and interpreting Article VI. Accordingly, to implement the Practical Steps is to move towards complete fulfillment of the legal obligations set forth in Article VI. To fail to do so in essential respects is to demonstrate a lack of good faith and to breach the Article VI obligations.

[5] Bush has often said he wants to "STRENGTHEN" the NPT. Obviously, that is a big LIE. In fact, there had been entirely too much "strengthening" of the NPT at the Sixth Review Conference (Sixth RevCon), held six years ago (2000), to suit Bush. The final report of the Sixth RevCon (http://www.basicint.org/nuclear/NPT/2000revcon/finaltext.htm) began by reaffirming the recommendations contained in the final report of the Fifth Revcon (http://www.reachingcriticalwill.org/legal/npt/1995dec.html). But it took delegates to the Seventh RevCon (http://www.un.org/events/npt2005) two weeks to even agree on an agenda because Bush "REFUSED" to allow the final report of the "Sixth RevCon" to even be discussed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/13_steps), much less be reaffirmed. Among other things, the Sixth RevCon Report affirmed: "An unequivocal undertaking by the nuclear-weapon states to accomplish the total elimination of their nuclear arsenals leading to nuclear disarmament to which all states parties are committed under Article VI". Disarm? "The importance and urgency of signatures and ratifications, without delay and without conditions and in accordance with constitutional processes, to achieve the early entry into force of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CTBT). Ratify the CTBT? "The Sixth Conference reaffirms that IAEA is the competent authority responsible for verifying and assuring … compliance with its safeguards agreements … with a view to preventing diversion of nuclear energy from peaceful uses to nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices.… It is the conviction of the Conference that nothing should be done to undermine the authority of IAEA in this regard". Don't challenge the authority of the IAEA? "The Sixth Conference notes the reaffirmation by the nuclear-weapon states of their commitment to the United Nations Security Council resolution 984 in 1995 (http://www.un.org/Docs/scres/1995/scres95.htm) on security assurances for non-nuclear-weapon states parties to the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons". Give assurances to IRAN that we won't attack them with nuclear weapons? You've got to be kidding. Bush would never agree to do any of those things, now required of us by the NPT.

West has kept billions of Iran's EURODIF investments for 30 years In 1975, Iran took a very costly 10% financial participation in EURODIF uranium enrichment plant being built in France. Iran paid $1 billion towards the purchase of a 10% share of ownership in EURODIF and agreed to buy a quota from the new plant. But after the Iranian revolution in 1979, neither was Iran given any enriched uranium nor did it get back its investment from EURODIF. The U.S. was also paid to deliver new fuel and upgrade its power in accordance with a contract signed before the revolution. U.S. gave neither the fuel nor the billions of dollars it had received for it. Germany was paid for in full, billions of dollars for the two nuclear facilities in Busher, but after three decades, Germany has refused to export any equipments or refund the money.

Interdicting Proliferation Potential


Dr. James Gordon Prather
Nuclear weapons physicist
Former Nuclear bomb tester at Lawrence Livermore
Former Technical director of nuclear bomb testings at Sandia
Former Chief scientist of the U.S. Army
U.S. Navy veteran

***

Translation: Either a guy Arash has made up, or some actual American kook.


***


The Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) involves three
principal undertakings on the part of the signatories:

1) to prevent further proliferation of nuclear weapons
2) to pursue negotiations on a treaty of general and complete disarmament
3) to facilitate the fullest possible exchange of equipment, materials, and
technological information for the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. [1]

***

You actually managed to post 4 entire lines of accurate text, I'm stunned...


***


To prevent further proliferation of nukes, signatories not already having

nukes agreed to make all "source" and "special nuclear materials" - and all
activities involving their physical or chemical transformation - subject to

the safeguards regime [2] of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
for the exclusive purpose of verifying for other NPT signatories that no
safeguarded materials have been used to further any military purpose.

The rationale for focusing on the purposes to which "source" and "special
nuclear materials" is that no one can make a nuclear weapon without

possessing tens of kilograms of fissile material - almost pure uranium-235,
uranium-233, or plutonium-239.
***

Which is what Iran is trying to do...


***


Hence, the NPT not only allows, it even encourages the fullest possible

transfer - and use, subject to IAEA Safeguards - of equipment that can be

used to produce fissile material.

However, President Bush refuses to abide by the letter or spirit of the NPT.

In particular, he has no intention of ever entering into negotiations
leading to nuke disarmament. [3]

***

It has nothing to do with your boogeyman "Bush". No US or Russian leader
has ever had any intention of doing that, and it is certainly not a secret
or anything. The US and Russia will, very obviously, possess "world
killing" global nuclear arsenals for as long as the technology remains
effective. Somebody is going to have the ability to destroy the planet, you
can't put the nuclear genie back into the bottle, and only a complete moron
would expect the US or Russia to simply disarm and allow other nations to
rule the world through nuclear dominance. Exactly how stupid are you?

Nuclear weapons will exist until some currently unforseeable new technology
renders them obsolete. As long as nulcear weapons exist, the US and Russia
will remain the "holders of the keys". Everybody who actually knows what
they are talking about already knows this, and has known it for like 50
years. It has nothing to do with your boogeyman "Bush".


***


Furthermore, according to his National Security Strategy (NSS), "the best
way to block aspiring nuclear weapons states or nuclear terrorists" is to
prevent their acquiring even the capability to produce fissile material. [4]

***

Obviously...


***


Therefore, Bush set out to close what he calls a "loophole" in the NPT that
not only allows Iran (for example) to acquire such a capability but requires
him to facilitate that acquisition.

***

Well, following those rules allowed North Korea to just build nuclear
weapons, so obviously those rules don't work, do they? Why would we use the
same rules that allowed North Korea to build nuclear weapons to stop Iran
from doing it? North Korea proved that the current "NPT" does not work.
Iran will never have a global nuclear arsenal, which word is it that you
don't understand?


***


Alas, the attendees at the 2005 NPT Review Conference (RevCon) not only
refused to modify the NPT to suit Bush, but castigated the "nuclear weapons
states" for refusing to pursue the 13 "practical steps" to TOTAL nuke
disarmament they committed themselves to at the 2000 NPT Review Conference
(6th RevCon). [5]

***

Nobody ever agreed to get rid of all nuclear weapons, you moron. Read it
again, slowly...

The NPT isn't relevant. Iran has been given an order. They will follow it
or suffer the consequences. Nuclear weapons are not a game. Do what we say
or die, the choice is yours.


***


What to do? Scrap the NPT and replace it with the Proliferation Security

Initiative, PSI [6] - developed by Bonkers Bolton from Bush's National
Security Strategy.
***

Yes, we might just have to, and start over with something that actually
works. Your precious "NPT" is obviously a complete disaster, North Korea
built nuclear weapons under it's rules and now Iran attempts to use it to do
the same thing, the NPT is obviously a complete and total failure. It is
doing the exact opposite of what it was intended to do. Welcome back to
reality, enemy propagandist.

> size=2>West has kept billions of Iran's EURODIF investments for 30 years In


> 1975, Iran took a very costly 10% financial participation in EURODIF uranium
> enrichment plant being built in France. Iran paid $1 billion towards the
> purchase of a 10% share of ownership in EURODIF and agreed to buy a quota from
> the new plant. But after the Iranian revolution in 1979, neither was Iran given
> any enriched uranium nor did it get back its investment from EURODIF. The U.S.
> was also paid to deliver new fuel and upgrade its power in accordance with a
> contract signed before the revolution. U.S. gave neither the fuel nor the
> billions of dollars it had received for it. Germany was paid for in full,
> billions of dollars for the two nuclear facilities in Busher, but after three
> decades, Germany has refused to export any equipments or refund the
