Images captured by a robotic probe inside one of the three melted reactors at Japan’s wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant have triggered concerns about its earthquake resistance in case of another major disaster.
The documents give a clear picture of what is going on in Ukraine and around the world concerning conflicts, wars and peace efforts.
In this period of ever-increasing Climate Crisis, when many voices pushing nuclear fission power as a supposedly zero-carbon safe’ energy are being heard, it is fitting to remember the Fukushima accident of 12 years ago, one of the most catastrophic disasters of the nuclear power industry.
“American Dream, Global Nightmare: On the Origins of the Iraq War” – this piece was written in 2003, it still stands up fairly well. Also: “20 Years Later, the Stain of Corporate Media’s Role in Promoting Iraq War Remains”.
Gaddafi’s projects would have liberated the continent from the dominance of Western centres of power and monopoly, transforming global economic structures and inspiring other regions in the Global South to “unite, organize and fight”. And so NATO intervened, to overthrow Gaddafi.
On the 12th commemoration of Fukushima, one must wonder about the human species. Continuing to operate these dangerously deteriorated machines of mass murder while suppressing renewables is the 21st century definition of suicidal insanity.
The need for intellectuals to commit themselves body and soul to the common good, and the opposition to world war, and nuclear war, is only the greater at this horrible moment of taunting and daring launched by Presidents Biden and Putin today – says Pastreich.
On October 27, 1962, Soviet naval officer Vasily Arkhipov helped prevent the outbreak of World War III and saved humanity from nuclear catastrophe.
To protect ourselves from the dangers of the nuclear enterprise, we need to stop the nuclear weapons and nuclear power reactor programs—a tall order, for sure. But if we seek success in our efforts, we are well advised to understand the forces we are engaging with.
Current talks between Washington and Tehran’s rulers to restore the 2015 nuclear agreement have been stalled, and there is little hope that progress will be made any time soon. Naturally, the U.S. places the blame on Tehran. However, U.S. propaganda grossly distorts the reality of the situation.
