This seems like a good time to post a new song. It is simply called Anti-Nuke Anthem and is a collaboration between Or-well and myself. Or-well wrote the outstanding lyrics, thank you or-well, and both of us give credit to the old hymn "Bringin in the Sheaves" as our inspiration. Again, please excuse my guitar playing and vocal screw ups. It is the message that counts.
Here's the link:

Oh, thought I'd let you guys and girls know that, with NDAA, the federal government considers, specifically, anti-nuclear activists as terror threats to be watched for. Ditto, for anti-authority (Whatever they decree apparently.) and anti-government(I.E. Nuclear.)

Good song, PoorDaddy & or-well!

You have a good voice, PoorDaddy.

Or-well, I think your calling is as a lyricist – your style with short lines is perfectly suited to be set to music.

An AntiNuke song that would make Pete Seeger, Dylan, Buffalo Springfield, and all the rest of the early AntiNuke bands, give you two a standing ovation. This is part of what is needed in this fight. A battle song. My hat is off of my balding head for you two as I send this video out to everyone I know.

Or-well & Poor-Daddy; Thanks a lot for that.

A suggestion – fold in more dark stuff as it is clearly called for. Consider lyrics using some of Dr. Helen Caldicott one-liners, etc.

If the criminal elite are intent on having Hell-On-Earth then we are entitled to use very sinister lyrics to express this tragedy.

@Admin,
How about a seperate thread where we can aggregate all of the excellent videos and music that fits within this movement.
The power of videos and music are elements that move people like no other format can.
Can this be done without slowing this site down or dropping the page rankings?
This would keep it out of the news threads.
Just a thought….

So sick and twisted what little respect there is for human life. They are nuts for going back and even crazier for wearing just those "masks." For some reason, I think that the government probably provided them. I would wear frilling scuba gear if I had to be anywhere near there. lol

That is correct Bones. The cavalier attitude is appalling to most of us carbon based life forms. Studying the behaviour of these specimens will contribute greatly to imperialist knowledge in that field. There is a line of thought that would suggest that there are insidious motives in having the appearance of nonchalantly going about ones business in an extraordinarily dangerous situation. Perhaps to gain sympathy from the paymasters. If only we could gain front row seats of this spectacle we would be in a better position to comment further.

A Nuclear Holocaust of sickness & despair
for every breath we take is now of poisoned air

A Nuclear nation created on lies & deceit
now it lay crumbling at our feet

So from every corner of our earth we will share
from our saddened hearts that we do truly care

United in solidarity we will show the powers that be
that there is no boundary

In our pain & sadness we will stand so tall
Until we see the Nuclear Industry fall

What we knew – Radiation threatens future of Fukushima farms

Uploaded by CBS on May 21, 2011

The threat of radiation contamination is causing skepticism about the safety of food produced in Japan. And, as Lucy Craft reports, Fukushima farmers are concerned for their future.

If insomnia occurs, try these two things.

Flip your mattress over. Fire retardant and/or anti-bacterial chemicals may be impregnated into the material. When these break down, they give off gases which can cause SIDS in infants (New Zealand experiment with plastic sheet stopped SIDS). If this can depress the CNS of infants, it can for adults, too, and may be responsible, possibly, for insomnia, sleep apnea, depression in adults, by my way of thinking.

Second, stop using antiperspirant or deodorant for a time, and see if sleep does not return. There may be something in it which causes insomnia and/or depression.

Granted, a triple meltdown will depress anyone. But, a lowered immuned system, due to radiation exposure and internal radionuclides and/or toxic metals, almost certainly would severely tax the body's ability to dispose of chemical toxins it normally would be able to.

It's worth a try. I personally know from experience the fantastic stopping of insomnia and the return of normal ability to get to sleep, from both the things above. I recently began using a deodorant again, and insomnia returned. It went away when I switched back to a home solution/remedy, baking powder.

February 15, 2012 at 12:57 am

Use of one side of a mattress for a long period of time may allow the chemicals to break down. Flipping it over to a fresh side should allow checking to see if this was a source of the insomnia problem. I've seen it from a sleeping bag, too, used as a quilt or comforter. Stopped using it, sleep returned. Probably I have some sensitivity to fire retardant in the material. People with radiation sickness, I would think would have this, too; a greater sensitivity than normal. Normally the body would, according to genetic programming, round up, store, and dispose of such toxins. Lag in that normal ability may allow buildup of storage levels to a degree that the chemicals affect the CNS. My theory, not proven. Works for me, though. The http://www.mercola.com website had an article about how SIDS was stopped in the New Zealand experiment. The US Congress required FRC in baby crib mattresses in 1947. The FTC started requiring it in all adult mattresses in 2007, the idiots. Somebody is really stupid, or corrupt. Was it well intentioned and just a stupid bureaucratic fiasco, or intended, to cause sleep disturbance, so somebody can sell a solution.
