Gisteren schreef ik een artikel over de selectieve belangstelling voor gebeurtenissen door o.a. de reguliere media, dit i.v.m. de westerse aandacht voor de neergeschoten Russische straaljager*. Later op de dag, kwam ik een artikel van Harvey Wasserman op EcoWatch tegen, waarin hij het totaal negeren door de westerse media, van het opblazen van hoogspanningsmasten in De Krim hekelde. Volgens Wasserman waren dit hoogspanningsmasten, die stroom afvoeren uit twee kerncentrales en bestond het reële gevaar, voor kernsmelting, dan wel een explosie van de kern als in de kerncentrales van Fukushima……… Voorts wijst Wasserman er nog eens op, hoe gevaarlijk en kwetsbaar kerncentrales eigenlijk zijn, ook door terroristische aanslagen…….
Volgens de autoriteiten in De Krim en Rusland, is deze terroristische daad alleen toe te schrijven aan het fascistische bewind in Oekraïne, de door neonazi’s gecontroleerde regering van de corrupte grofgraaier Porosjenko, ik ‘vrees’ dat ze daar het gelijk aan hun kant hebben………
Porosjenko, de enorme misdadiger en marionet van de VS, die z’n ‘eigen’ burgers massaal vermoord, mag godbetert ons land bezoeken….. Nederland dat zich afficheert als land van internationaal strafrecht…… De neonazi junta, die Porosjenko leidt, maakte gisteren op de beschuldigingen van voornoemde autoriteiten bekend, dat het geen gas meer zal afnemen van Rusland en dat het luchtruim van Oekraïne gesloten zal worden voor Russische vliegtuigen. Wat betreft dat gas: Oekraïne heeft een enorme schuld opgebouwd met het niet betalen voor de leveringen van dit Russische gas, vorig jaar was die schuld nog 14 miljard euro, reken maar, dat dit bedrag intussen een stuk hoger is………

Nuclear
Reactors Make ISIS an Apocalyptic Threat

As
you read this, a terror attack has put atomic reactors in Ukraine at
the brink of another Chernobyl-scale apocalypse.
Transmission
lines have been blown up. Power to at least two major nuclear power
stations has been “dangerously”
cut.
Without emergency backup, those nukes could lose coolant to their
radioactive cores and spent fuel pools. They could then melt or
explode, as at Fukushima.
Yet
amidst endless “all-fear-all-the-time” reporting on ISIS, the
corporate media has remained shockingly silent on this potential
catastrophe.

Nor
has it faced the most critical step needed to protect our planet
in a time of terror: shutting all atomic reactors.
The
world’s 430-plus licensed commercial nuclear
plants give
terrorists like ISIS the power at any time to inflict a radioactive
Apocalypse that could kill millions, destroy huge parts of the Earth
and devastate the global economy.
Fallout
from Chernobyl’s 1986 disaster has killed more than a
million people.
Cancer
rates among children and
others near Fukushima are soaring.
Americans
downwind from Three Mile Island died
in droves.
Major
scientific studies in Germany and elsewhere link soaring
cancer and other human death rates to nearby reactor emissions even
without an accident.
The
1966 melt-down at Fermi I, near Detroit, cost at least $100 million.
Three Mile Island’s 1979 melt-down converted a $900 million asset
into a $2 billion liability. Chernobyl has cost Ukraine, Belarus and
the former Soviet Union at least $500 billion. Fukushima wiped out a
$60 billion asset and may cost Japan trillions, permanently crippling
its economy.
All
imposing inestimable damage to the global ecology. The radioactive
carbon and raw heat reactors emit unbalance our weather, irradiate
the oceans, create waste that cannot be managed.
The
ability of ISIS and other terrorists to cause more such catastrophes
is unquestioned and escalating.
Despite ISIS’s
bloody warning in Paris,
all commercial reactors are still at risk.
They
are crumbling on their own. The shield building at Ohio’s
Davis-Besse is literally
disintegrating.
Diablo
Canyon is surrounded by a dozen California
fault lines.
Fort
Calhoun in Nebraska has been flooded.
Earthquakes
have damaged Ohio’s
Perry and North Anna, in Virginia.
And
official reports on the 9/11 attacks on New York’s World Trade
Center confirm that Al Quaeda also considered
targeting atomic reactors.
Had
they hit Indian Point, 45 miles north of the twin towers, millions of
Americans would now be dead. Trillions in property damage would have
decimated the nation’s economy. Billions of acres would be
contaminated, along with countless lakes, rivers and much of the
Atlantic Ocean.
The
screaming heads at CNN, Fox et. al. say this kind of Apocalyptic
event is exactly what ISIS seeks. But they avoid the
obvious connection to the world’s increasingly fragile
reactors.
In
Ukraine, Deputy Director Yuri Katchich of the Ukrenergo power
company said the
“emergency unloading” at the South Ukrainian and Zaporozhskaya
nuclear sites forced by terror attacks on far-away power
lines is “very dangerous.” We can only imagine the damage
direct attacks on the reactors themselves might have done.
The
2011 earthquake and tsunami took out back-up generators at Fukushima,
followed by three melt-downs and four explosions.
Tsunami-like
flooding caused by busted dams upriver from at least three dozen U.S.
reactors could replicate much of what happened at Fukushima.
There
are 58 reactors in France, 99 in the U.S. If ISIS is as reckless and
relentless as it seems, the safety of none of them can be guaranteed.
So
as our governments, politicians and media scream for security, we
must free ourselves from the nuclear curse.
We
must also remember that ISIS grew out of an U.S. invasion of Iraq
based largely on our corporate addiction to fossil fuels.
The
obvious answer to this global nightmare is to speed the transition to
arenewable energy world.
No
terror group can ever cause an apocalypse by blowing up a solar
panel.
