So You Are Aware of the Radiation After All

Probably you know Fukashima is nothing next to Obama's brinkmanship in the Black Sea and there's no evidence of any change in this suicidal policy.  I was surprised how many are reading it, especially after the aggressive ostrichism in Philadelphia.

It's unusual to be carrying forward a message my ol' Dad carried so ardently about the incredible dangers of radiation and nuclear proliferation.  Fifty years later and the world didn't listen.  Edward Teller has his Nirvana now and there are more nuclear bombs in the world than hospital ships.  He's still alive out in California somewhere.


Perhaps the complacence goes away as people understand it's not someone else's kid getting croaked in the Middle East this time, it's everyone.  Ukraine has been smelling up the world like a twenty-megaton stink fart and America has been right there to help with more hydrogen sulfide and nuclear weapons.

Belaboring the insanity of that course is pointless since you know it already and the only question remains of how to bring sense to it.  The Pentagon typically falls back to patronizing with some crap about too complicated to understand but we're musicians; we understand create the need and then fill it programming just fine, thank you very much.  If you can explain it to a politician, you can explain it to a parking meter.  Start talking.


There seems to be an exceptional complacence about a nuke war and that's hugely surprising after the consequences were so widely publicized in movies such as "The Day After" and multiple others.  That people have created a fantasy land in which that isn't a concern is a remarkable thing ... but then it dawns.  Typically US actions in the Black Sea are posted in Russia Today and that's censored news or heavily-filtered in America.  It's conceivable people never saw it and news is even more controlled in Facebook; there's no chance they would see it there.

They even roughed-up and arrested Abby Martin today in Philadelphia but she hasn't worked for RT for a couple of years.  Land of the Free ... yahoo.


While we reject categorically even the possession of nuclear weapons, we do not necessarily throw out peacetime uses of nuclear power such as in reactors for support of civilian electricity networks.  That assumes better safeguards than exist today as we saw with that ridiculous fiasco of mismanagement in Japan recently.  In a country notorious for earthquakes and tidal waves, their biggest plant was taken out by an earthquake and a tidal wave.  Genius.

Similar genius exists in the construction of a nuclear reactor on or near the San Andreas Fault in California.  Just like Japan, a tidal wave won't be enough for them and they want to turn any survivors radioactive as well.

Precluding such ill-considered constructions and assuming nuclear disposal at Yucca Flats using proper procedures to get it there safely, it could well be nuke reactors are one of the best ways to get it done.  Covering the Earth with solar panels works to some extent but they're not accounting for the energy generated by burning oil and there's one hell of a lot of it.  Right now it doesn't look like alternative sources can get it done.


Some of you may get kind of frosted over nuclear in peacetime and I know for sure Cat rejects it.  Nevertheless, meeting the electrical needs of the planet is only part of the problem.

There's one benefit to the electric cars as the iCar will finish Apple.  The only innovation likely from them after that is to put cuckoo clocks in the dashboard plus you will need one iWatch to see how you're doing and a second iWatch to see how your car is doing.
