Bikini atoll 5 decades after 46 megatons of bombs in 1954
[ "Bravo", "Romeo", "Union" and "Yankee (II)" ]
Wild West Weather Weapons
1954 March 1 -
hydrogen bomb "Bravo" triggered international debate and dialogue.
The relentless demonstration of ordinary people all over the world
opposing and resisting this evil led to US moratorium
on atmospheric nuclear testing and Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.
We always get to the truth too late. "Bravo" still haunts us.
After half a century we behave as if we were ignorant
of the impact, extent and effects of radiation
that is contaminating our world,
especially the 357,000 square miles of Micronesia.
People evacuated from Bikini Atoll now live as if in exile
or in detention not knowing when they can safely return.
American racism and colonialism hangs over Marshall Islands.
We don't yet know definitively "the experiment" on the sea-floor
in our region. Brave investigators will soon blow the whistle!
THE WORLD NEITHER RESPECT NOR FEAR US
They came to destroy
our world
