As a child of the sixties, I and our family, were heavily involved in anti war and anti nuclear bomb demos in Sth Aust.. As you correctly point out, there is no movement. I think there is a SA branch of Anti Nukes but it's got a low profile.
On US gov doing nasty things to their own, there's the Tuskegee incident, the Hanford nuclear release, just to see where the winds take it, and our facourite, releasing LSD into the subway for a few off the top of my head.
In SA we had the atom bomb tests which they failed to inform the local indigenous population they were going to do. I've spoken with Bobby Brown born nearby and even though he was a baby at the time, he remembers the black cloud that blotted out the sun and the sickness that followed after for many. He died last year and would have been the same age as me at 69ish. He did say to me that he thought it may shorten his life. And, yes, he was a stolen child bought up in Koolunga in the states mid north.
