A Faustian Deal with the Devil: The Plutonium Economy
Plutonium (Pu) is the most dangerous and lethal substance ever known, rarely occuring naturally. The nuclear decisions affecting all of us, are made in total contempt of democratic process, by a exclusive minority - the arrogant "Nuclear Priesthood."
Breeder Reactor technology continues to be
aggressively pursued in both the US and Japan, in which plutonium is used to generate
power and in the process of being "burned" creates more Pu than is
consumed!
Buddhism, as well as the ancient wisdom of indigenous cultures, emphasizes the profound
relationship between the land and people, such as "Techqua Ikachi" and
"Jinsei Chirigaku"
Nuclear governments of the world continues to arrogantly deceive and recklessly terrorize the peoples of the world, blindly possessed by the destructive force known in Buddhism as the Devil of the Sixth Heaven
Speech excerpt by Second Soka
Gakkai President
Declaration for the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons
September 8, 1957
Well, while there is happiness today, there might be difficulties again, from now on; or there may possibly be whatever kinds of attack; and so, for all of you from now on, I should leave the most important part of my final will, which I will announce to you today.
As I have long said, the coming era will be shouldered by the youth. It goes without saying that kosen-rufu is our mission. We must achieve it without fail, at any cost. Now, nuclear testing is a much talked about topic in the world. Today, I would clearly like to declare my attitude towards the testing of atomic and hydrogen bombs.
If you are my disciples in the least, you will inherit my declaration today and infiltrate its meaning into the minds of the people throughout the entire world.
That is, movements to prohibit the testing of nuclear, or atomic bombs are now taking place around the world, but I want to wrench away the claws that are hidden in the depths of this issue, that is, to deeply penetrate into the minds of the people around the world the ideology that there is nothing more important than human life; and so I insist, that anyone who uses atomic or hydrogen bombs, irrespective of whatever nation, whether they win or lose, one and all, be sentenced to death!
Why do I say this? Because we, the people of the world, have a right to live! Anyone who threatens this right is a devil, Satan, a monster! I insist that this society of human beings, without exception, sentence to death anyone who uses hydrogen and atomic bombs, even if their country won the war by using those bombs, and even if they are victorious.
I believe it is the mission of all of the youth division in Japan to propagate this ideology around the world; that even if a country should conquer the world by using atomic and hydrogen bombs, that race and the person who used those bombs are an absolute evil, devils.
May you spread, with the morale you have shown in today's athletic festival, my first such declaration to the entire world. This is my eager desire, and I'd like to end by expressing this to you.
