The IAEA is hiding dangers of releasing Fukushima’s radioactive wastewater into the Pacific Ocean? Also: ‘Fukushima: Japan’s Triple Threat in Spades’: Japan too indulging in media manipulation and information control to hide the dangers of the radioactive water release.
Charles Derber, author of ‘Dying for Capitalism: How Big Money Fuels Extinction and What We Can Do About It’, discusses how the myth of American exceptionalism undermines the solutions to the existential threats we face today, why “green capitalism” is an oxymoron, and the need to confront a “triangle of extinction.”
Nuclear power has long stifled renewables. Now it needs to go extinct.
Forced removal of Chagos islanders gave the US a nuclear base and the UK a deal on nuclear weapons.
Because of the cover-up strategy of the international nuclear lobby, the lessons of Chernobyl and Fukushima are not being applied at all, but rather, the actual health hazards are being covered up. Any so-called cleanup projects are being carried out for the sake of immediate interests only.
Nuclear weapons tests, accidents at nuclear power plants, radioactive materials released from reprocessing plants, all have produced radioactive fallout that has contaminated the peoples of the world. We are all, in the words of Robert “Bo” Jacobs, the “Global Hibakusha”.
“Japan’s Insane Immoral, Illegal Radioactive Dumping”. Also: “Is the Release of Radioactive Contaminated Water from the Fukushima Nuclear Site to the Sea Acceptable? Is it Safe?”
Per Kosambi, all useful science was applied science, and he recognised the ubiquitous military application of nuclear energy as an abuse — of both knowledge and power.
US government documents admit the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not necessary to end WWII. Japan was on the verge of surrendering. The nuclear attack was the first strike in Washington’s Cold War on the Soviet Union.
The film “Oppenheimer” has earned widespread attention. The author says that what “Oppie” began then has by now become a full-scale nuclear-industrial complex on a planet where ultimate destruction, it often seems, always lurks just around the corner.
