Normalising nuclear – beware of this public opinion campaign – theme for October

“We need to explain and to start [nuclear] education at all levels, from kindergarten, school and university, to parliament and ministers. ”  said Mikhail Chudakov , deputy director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA  “our efforts can shift the paradigm from gaining public acceptance of nuclear power to generating well-informed public demand for nuclear power. We must reinforce the benefits of nuclear power……..it will require enhaned international cooperation.”

A global campaign aims at normalizing nuclear– getting people’s global acceptance that exposure to increased ionizing radiation is OK, that nuclear is essential to save the climate

It beggars belief that the world can ignore Fukushima, Chernobyl, and other nuclear disasters and the growing toll of radiation-caused cancers, birth defects and death.  And can ignore the link with the nuclear industry,  weapons and the radioactive wastes piling up and radioactivity spread over populations who are considered acceptable casualties of the technology. And can ignore the astronomic nuclear costs, and the economic viability of an industry that without subsidies, and convincing propaganda to mislead & misinform the public would fail not only beggars belief it defies logic.

But that is exactly what the nuclear lobby intends.  Starting with our little children at kindergarten, and moving up through the age groups, the nuclear industry will be handing out huge sums of money to the charlatans of propaganda, to spread their lying message.

We know the lies –   the major one for the public is the pretense that nuclear power combats climate change (when in reality, the entire nuclear fuel chain emits huge amounts of carbon.)

We need to think clearly – to not be impressed by the prestigious journals, the lofty scientific academics, the bought politicians, who have found it more comfortable to go along with nuclear lobby spin, than to really think about nuclear issues.

When you find the pro nuclear message in your schools, local councils, universities, libraries, hospitals – with cheerful, colourful, attractive stories –   ask yourself “Who paid for this?  Who gave my university the money for all this?

And don’t be too quick to rubbish us – the unpaid anti-nuclear bloggers and activists.  We are going to need all clear thinking people who are not dependent on corporate funding –  to also co-operate in a global campaign  – to get the truth out about the toxic nuclear industry & divest.

He plays us out with the legendary song ‘Two Suns in the Sunset’

Statement from the IDF on Roger Waters’ accusation that placing a knee on the neck is an Israeli technique:

This accusation is unfounded and false. The alleged “technique” was not developed by the IDF, and is used by various law enforcement organizations and militaries around the world.
