  • A picture is worth…

    Translation: 100 million degrees. That’s how hot it can get in the middle of a nuclear explosion – hotter than the core of the sun. The fireball created by a medium-sized bomb bursts to about three kilometers in diameter. No one wins with nuclear weapons. NO ONE! Join the B.A.N. movement – don’t be silent.…

  • Motorcyclists Against Nukes

    In 2022, following Vladimir Putin’s invasion of the Ukraine and his threat of using his nuclear stockpile should anyone interfere with his madness, B.A.N. or Ban All Nukes, was formed and launched.

  • What happens if nuclear weapons are used?

    Nuclear weapons are the most destructive, inhumane and indiscriminate weapons ever created. Both in the scale of the devastation they cause, and in their uniquely persistent, spreading, genetically damaging radioactive fallout, they are unlike any other weapons. A single nuclear bomb detonated over a large city could kill millions of people. The use of tens…

It entered into force on…

  • Are we playing dice with our future?

    It seems, at least history is our witness, that getting good leaders, that is, in nations with a democratic process (not dictatorial regimes), is a flip of the coin, especially in nations such as the United States, the United Kingdom and elsewhere, where a lot of money and strong backers in the billionaire club, strongly…

  • Putin’s Idealism vs the Free World – the real reason he is invading Ukraine

    I’ve seen many discussions about why Putin is invading the Ukraine, and of course, we know what his professed logic is, that the Ukraine would be better under Russian rule. You could dissect the matter for days and miss the broader picture. This invasion isn’t a singularity, and it isn’t about Ukraine – it is…

  • There is only ONE way to fully abolish war and nuclear weapons

    Wars and conflicts have scarred the human theater since the dawn of recorded history. The impulse to survive, or to put it in simplistic terms, the chemical reactions inside our brains, which, apparently drive us to violence against one another – is the inevitable compulsion, the dark side of humanity. Well, here’s another theory, just…

  • What is the most powerful thing in the world?

    Since 1945, the world has been taught that nuclear weapons = peace. That it is not far from Orwell’s depiction of dystopia, and certainly the very idea is as untrue as it is oxymoronic.
