The same careerism paired with an ideological western world view that already completely destroyed mainstream media is rampaging through our institutions of higher learning in the US and Europe. It takes real guts to stand up to the pressures these people and institutions excerpt.

My guest today, Ted Postol, is one of them. Dr. Theodor Postol is professor emeritus of science, technology, and national security policy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (the MIT). His expertise is in nuclear weapon systems, including submarine warfare, applications of nuclear weapons, and ballistic missiles.

Professor Postol was for many years a contributor to the “Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists” who have for a long time been publishing about the dangers of nuclear war and their opposition to nuclear proliferation.[/su_expand]
