ON THE WORLD STUDENTS SOCIETY - LED BY the Students of America : all Capital, all finances, all scholarships, all endowments, Film Rights, Book Rights, ! All And Everything ! is owned by students of the world.

The esteemed Global Founder Framers of !WOW! will carry a strait-jacket VETO over all Policies and Plans, Every Policy and Plan will come from the students of the world.

If a need ever arises, the decision of the honoured lifelong member PM Jacinda Ardern of NZ will be final. She will hold this office and honour for two years from the start of global elections.

THE HUMAN TOLL OF NUCLEAR TESTS : MILLIONS OF PEOPLE around the world are still living with the fallout from decades of nuclear weapons testing.

It's not just the countless individuals who were exposed to radioactive material or displaced from their homes. Their descendants continue to suffer. But they are also fighting to ensure no one else faces the same fate.

Hinamoeura Morgant-Cross, who was born in French Polynesia, where France tested nearly 200 nuclear weapons from 1966 to 1996 - is the fourth generation of her family to develop cancer.  

'' I really feel that I have poison in my blood,'' she said. '' So if my kids get sick, i will feel that it's me who poisoned us.''

The tests also poisoned their homes. The populations of entire islands were permanently displaced  when America decided to test 67 weapons on the Marshall Islands, which it controlled after World War II.

Benetick Kabua Maddisons family was among them. He now lives in Arkansas, where he runs a nonprofit organization teaching the local Marshallese community about the island's history and nuclear testing legacy.

Today many survivors are working to rid the world of Nuclear weapons. They played a vital role in creation of the 2021 Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.

Signed by 93 countries, the treaty bans the use, possession, testing and development of nuclear weapons.

Aigerim Seienova, a third-generation survivor from Kazakhstan, said, '' We sacrificed our land, our ecosystem, our bodies for the sake of nuclear arms race.'' 

THE RISK OF NUCLEAR CONFLICT is rising. Nuclear nations are building up their arsenals, speeding toward the next arms race.

Today's generation of weapons poses an unpredictable threat. This is one story of what's at stake. The latest in the Times Opinion series '' At the Brink.''

About an hour's drive from the Las Vegas Strip, deep craters pockmark the desert sand for miles in every direction. It's here, amid the sunbaked flats, that the United States conducted 928 nuclear tests during the Cold War above and below ground.

The site is mostly quiet now, and has been since 1992, when Washington halted America's testing program.

There are growing fears that this could soon change. As tensions deepen in America's relations with Russia and China, and satellite images reveal that all three nations are actively expanding their nuclear testing facilities, cutting roads and digging new tunnels at long-dormant proving grounds, including in Nevada.

None of these nations have conducted a full-scale nuclear test since the 1990s. Environmental and health concerns pushed them to move the practice underground in the middle of the last century before abandoning testing alltogether at the end of Cold War.

Each government insists it will not be the one to reverse the freeze. Russia and China have said little about the recent flurry of construction at their testing sites, but the United States emphasizes that it's merely modernizing the infrastructure for subcritical tests, or underground experiments that test components of a weapon but fall short of nuclear chain reaction.

The possibility of resuming underground nuclear testing has long loomed over the post, Cold War world.

But only now do these fears seem worryingly close to being realized amid the growing animosity among the world powers, the construction of testing grounds and the development of a new generation of nuclear weapons.

As the pressure mounts, some experts worry that the United States could act first. Ernest Moniz, a physicist who oversaw the nation's nuclear complex as energy secretary under President Barack Obama, said there's increasing interest from members of Congress, the military and U.S. weapons laboratories to begin full-scale explosive tests once again.

'' Among the major nuclear powers, if there is a resumption of testing, it will be by the United States first,'' Mr. Moniz said in a recent interview.

The Honour and Serving of this ''Master Threat Publishing'' continues. The World Students Society thanks W.J. Hennigan for his Opinion.
