Saw this posted in another post. Thought it worth looking at again. I am starting to plan my posts for tomorrow at the weak propaganda paper St. Louis Post-Dispatch. I post new topics with glaring headlines until they ban me. Pointing out that the newspaper is not reporting the truth is usually one of my main topics each time. There are millions of people I really believe would be right here supporting us if they knew. These are hard-working tax-paying rule-following responsible and trusting citizens, and it is this sleeping giant they seek to always keep sheltered from their agendas. We and others like us, need to reach them. Then, it’s ball game or at least we’ll have a shot at one.

Radiation Coverups And Dangers Exposed Worldwide
The nuclear industry and nuclear egulators worldwide, as well as specifically in the United States, have continually covered up disasters and radiation releases as if they never happened or posed no danger to the public.
To begin to understand the corruption of the nuclear power industry and the danger we are in because of it, you must first realize that they actually fund their regulators, The NRC in the United States and the IAEA for the world.
The Christian Science Monitor reported in mid March that lax oversight, specifically at the IAEA may have caused the Japan nuclear crisis.
Just as the BP oil spill one year ago heaped scrutiny on the United State’s Minerals Management Service, harshly criticized for lax drilling oversight and cozy ties with the oil industry, the nuclear crisis in Japan is shining a light on that nation’s safety practices….”
MUCH MORE AT LINK. The coverup is as big a story as each scandalous and outrageous piece of information and shred of envrionmental pollution.

See http://www.deccanherald.com/content/175774/our-nuclear-trouble.html
I commented on the support for nukes as follows there:
Modern Civilisation’s cumulative dangers have reached a climax with dams for meeting water greeds. They are causing the foundations of many a structure including nuclear power stations to heat up to such an extent as to cause fires in the buildings. When the rocks on which the buildings stand are caused to melt by the dams huge earthquakes are caused. Thats how one can see what happened at Fukushima when reactor number 4 slanted. So because of this glaring lacuna in meeting modern water greeds resulting in nuclear stations shattering or going up in flames as nature takes over with its infinite might, one is reminded of the prophecy of Mahatma Gandhi at the begin of the last century when he proclaimed: Given enough time modern civilisation will destroy itself. See http://predictingquakes.blogspot.com/ and http://earthquakescausedbydams.blogspot.com/
Tell the whole truth about modern civilisation’s suicidal path and stop nukes(including the mines) all over the world and proceed effectively to isolate them from the biosphere instead of crying for the criminals that are nuclear power programmes.
People’s opinion must be made to count in these days when democracy is being turned on its head by rigging.

“An applicant for a new nuclear reactor in Maryland was last week purchased by a subsidiary of Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway group.
“Constellation Energy Group agreed to sell all its outstanding shares to Buffet’s MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company (MEHC) in a deal worth $4.7bn in cash and $1bn in stock.”

Becquerel
A startling surreal twist to
the dedication to tea
Has set Japan ministry
against Japan ministry
A microscopic view of all
that is horribly wrong
Depicted in a cameo
of ghastly goings on
The matter is tea in this debacle
so nasty and sinister
Tea leaves to be exact which have set
minister against minister
You will not wonder why this tea
is the source of so much ugly drama
When you learn it was harvested
not two hundred miles from Fukishima
I believed that I might have gone around
the bend until I read it over and over
Then I realized the insanity was built
into what you are about to discover
Harvested tea leaves “were found” to exceed
“government limits” for radioactive cesium
(There is a certain amount you may ingest
with your tea and food with the government’s blessium)
The radiation safety limit
for tea leaves is five hundred becquerels per kilogram
the same as for vegetables you see
The limit for the tea in your cup
is two hundred becquerels per kilogram
the same as for water you drink regularly
In freshly harvested tea leaves
over the five-hundred-becquerel limit
of radioactive cesium was found
In dried tea leaves three thousand becquerels
of radioactive cesium were found –
a health finding extremely unsound
Here is the coda to my
tale of true insanity
It is not Japan’s story
but one of humanity
The horror will play out the same way
when it arrives on our shores
The folly will be no different
when the catastrophe is ours
Restriction of shipment of contaminated tea leaves
is voluntary not mandated by statute
Health ministry urges legalizing restricting shipments
but agriculture ministry does refute
Agriculture ministry says drinking tea made
from contaminated leaves is safe
despite high levels of radioactive material
since radioactivity would be diluted
An unpalatable conclusion which left me wondering
at just what level of acuity
and in just what dimension of reality
the intelligence of my species is rooted
Health ministry wondered if consumers
would feel safe with tea leaves containing
several thousand becquerels of radiation
on the market
even though the materials are diluted
as an announcement a foolhardy decision
To voice such a thing out loud
to show that PR was their concern
lest anyone mistakenly believed that
they cared about the public health
an announcement deserving of
amusement and derision
This is tea
Multiply it by everything
Bring it here
To your country
To your state
To your city
To your neighborhood
To your street
To your house
To your fridge
May I get you a cup of tea?

The burning of nuclear fuel…creates another chem situation.

This Chapter which Heart of the Rose links is from the book:THE NUCLEAR ENERGY OPTION
Professor Emeritus Bernard L. Cohen University of Pittsburgh
Published by Plenum Press, 1990.
Yes modern civilisation’s cumulative effects should be a concern, not just a comparison of nukes and others. Given enough time modern civilisation will destroy itself! And nukes are a hateful part of it causing the synergistic effects of itself with for example sulphur trioxide emitted by fossil burning- six times acid rains will be synergistic effects of coal and nukes!Look at my submission on the cumulative effects of modern civilisation with nukes which give no net energy in place as discussed above. In practice its Sellafield,CHERNObyl,Fukushima… and not the ivory tower visions that come about because man invents many a time unworkable processes not taking the long term cumulative effects into account. What is required is a sensible energy audit of modern civilisation and to call for a normal way of life which preserves environmental health as the bottom line above everything else like profits by externalising individual effects. Here energy conservation must take precedence over the whims and fancies and faeces of individual caprice like excessive individual transportation, malls and offices using vapour compression disregarding vapour absorption for air conditioning and so on. By the time Cohen’s book appeared this had happened in India alone:
The total toll of infant mortality and still births in India during 1971-89 due to Sellafield operations, Chernobyl accident, nuclear weapons tests and normal operations of nuclear fuel cycle is given in Table MIMSB7189A in http://deathdealersnukes.blogspot.com/. The total toll as given in Table Deaths is 8785245. The toll of infant mortality and still births due to Chernobyl is included in the toll for 1986-89, titled Chernobyl. The 1986-89 toll equals 664234 deaths.The Mortalities could have been more than 25% higher but for the body’s Repair Process. All this for no power to society outside the nuke industry! Both coal and nukes would cause internal contamination, coal in the form of fly ash brick dust in our midst and Fukushima is being experienced in the form of conatminated territories forever and beef uneatable and tea undrinkable and peaches pink and killers. But unless the business as usual mindset changes of corporations that they must sell their products which they have produced by putting inhuman pressure on their sales force instead of sacredly not violating the norm which should be self imposed of environmental health, coal or nukes or whatever, we are a lost cause.
