According to this he's a "leading chemical warfare expert" but according to another site on a nuclear topic he is a "leading nuclear disarmament expert."

For example:

Then on this LaRouche page he's a "technology expert" :

And involved with VIPS [of super dooper deep cover CIA agent Valerie Plame trial fame], which is no surprise.

And on a lib site Democracy Now he's quoted as saying Israel's Iron Dome defense system doesn't work

And he's done presentations for the The Helen Caldicott Foundation helencaldicottfoundation.org The Helen Caldicott Foundation | 843. home,page,page-id-843,page-template-default,ajax_updown_fade,page_not_loaded.

Which is against all nuclear tech apparently...even for power.

Theodore Postol, Professor of Science, Technology and International Security at MIT and a Ploughshares Fund grantee, gave his expert opinion on the North Korea-Iran Missile link alongside other experts in an article in today's Washington Post.

Ploughshares Fund The Ploughshares Fund is a public grantmaking foundation that supports initiatives to prevent the spread and use of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons and other weapons of war, and to prevent conflicts that could lead to the use of weapons of mass destruction. --wikipedia

The Ploughshares Fund was established in 1981 by the San Francisco-based philanthropist, artist and activist Sally Lilienthal (1919-2006), who had formerly served on the board of the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California during the 1960s and 70s, and had co-founded the Northern California Committee of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund in 1971. From its inception, the Ploughshares Fund's purpose was to support the nuclear-freeze movement, a Soviet-sponsored initiative that sought to further solidify the nuclear and military superiority which the USSR had gained during the post-Vietnam War era. Moreover, Ploughshares adamantly opposed NATO’s decision to place medium-range missiles in Europe, a decision that was made in response to an aggressive Soviet military buildup and to the USSR's then-recent deployment of SS-20 Missiles in Eastern Europe.

Also during the Cold War, Ploughshares claimed that U.S. militarism—particularly that of the Reagan administration—was far likelier to spark a nuclear holocaust than anything the Soviet Union might do. Identifying U.S. belligerence and aggression as the chief source of tensions between America and the USSR, Ploughshares pressured the United States but not the Soviets to initiate disarmament measures. To advance this agenda, Ploughshares pooled donations from a number of wealthy contributors and charitable foundations (including the Rockefeller and Stern Foundations) to bankroll and almost singlehandedly create a left-wing “peace” movement that denounced American defense policies and featured the progressive icon Edward Kennedy as one of its spokesmen.[1]

...Ploughshares identifies itself as a partner of such groups as Code Pink, Demos, the Institute for Policy Studies, the National Priorities Project, United for Peace & Justice, and the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation.

... Of a piece with Ploughshares' Iran policy is the organization's support for the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), the Iranian regime’s principal lobbyist in the United States....The Ploughshares Fund is supported by annual contributions from approximately 2,000 individuals and a small number of foundations. Among its benefactors are the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Compton Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Minneapolis Foundation, George Soros’s Open Society Institute, the Prospect Hill Foundation, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Scherman Foundation, the Turner Foundation, and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation ---Discoverthenetworks.org http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printgroupProfile.asp?grpid=7156 **

Ploughshares Fund provided over 90 grants to various organizations in 2015 in order to engage in reporting, research and analysis on Iranian nuclear issues. The over 90 grants given out in 2015 nearly doubles those the organization provided in 2014, and triples the amount given in 2013. Ploughshares’ increases in grant funding directly coincides with the time period during which the Iran nuclear deal was being finalized and presented to Congress. The non-profit was named directly by Ben Rhodes, President Obama’s Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communication, in a piece for New York Times Magazine as one of the groups that he and his team utilized to spin the Iran nuclear deal to the American public. In the piece, Rhodes claimed he and his team created an “echo chamber” which involved various friendly journalists and organizations. -------------- Read more: http://dailycaller.com/2016/05/22/ploughshares-fund-funded-media-campaign-on-iran-nuclear-deal/#ixzz4e8IxRRN4
