Radiation and Taking It Seriously

It's sexy like a date with a mule but people don't seem to get it too well when we see Obama and, assuming she isn't burned at the stake at the convention, likely Clinton as well is the increasing provocation of nuclear conflict with Russia.

Fifty years ago, my ol' Dad, Alex Fraser, was speaking of the effects of radiation and it's not clear whether he knew Edward Teller but it was likely they had met and the review was Teller was the most dangerous person on the planet due to his consistent advocacy of a strong nuclear presence.  (WIKI:  Alex Fraser)

After fifty years, we see amateurs playing bumper tag with the nukes so it makes clear the beauty of Teller's prophetic powers.  (WIKI:  Edward Teller)

Teller is a nuclear physicist but, unlike Stephen Hawking, he won't just tell you there is no God, he will make sure you see it for yourself while you fry.

Note:  some consider Edward Teller the inspiration for Stanley Kubrick's Dr Strangelove, the ultimate nuke nightmare with conservative war hawks being ridiculed down to their toes.

"The Communists sap and impurify our precious bodily fluids."


As a geneticist, my ol' Dad was highly-familiar with the effects of radiation and he had eminent reason to speak due to the way America at the time was playing with above-ground nuclear explosions like a kid with his first packet of bottle rockets.

One of the most distinctive exhibits of the effects of radiation was a large hairless rat with so many wrinkles it looked like it had been soaked in a bathtub for a week.  That wasn't even a lethal mutation but it must done wonders for the rat's love life.

He was studying this fifty years ago and speaking publicly on the matter but all this time later people seem blithely unaware and ignore the infinitely-dangerous nuclear hooliganism Obama is pulling with them.


People keep prattling of how Trump is so dangerous but that hairball is small change relative to the real game.  Everyone dies in that one and Obama has been pushing it like Krushchev ever since Ukraine fell apart.
