Decommissioning the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan began soon after it suffered a triple meltdown in March 2011. Fourteen years on, the work continues. This summer will mark two years since Tokyo Electric Power Company, the plant's operator, began discharging water that was used to cool the damaged reactors into the sea. In November last year, workers removed a few grams of radioactive debris from a reactor for the first time. A second extraction took place a few weeks ago. Neighbourhoods closest to the plant are still off-limits, but other areas are safe to live in. For some residents, life is slowly returning to normal. Justin McCurry, Alexis Bregere and Airi Futakuchi Report.
11 mars 2011. Sirenerna ekar genom luften och 21-årige Ryo Kanouya måste ta sig hem. Hans hem, kuststaden Namie, har redan skakats av en jordbävning, och är nu minuter ifrån att träffas av en 14 meter hög våg. Men på något sätt är det bara början. För några kilometer nedåt kusten är kärnkraftverket Fukushima Daiichi bara ögonblick ifrån en härdsmälta. Nu är en liten grupp tekniker de enda som kan förhindra en global katastrof.Detta är berättelsen om jordbävningen, tsunamin och kärnkraftsolyckan i Fukushima-prefekturen. Och människorna som riskerade allt och stannade kvar i ett döende kärnkraftverk för att rädda sina familjer och sitt land.Inläsare: Tind SonebyManus: Anna ZiafarRedaktör: Alex HaegerProducent: Oliver BergmanProduktionskoordinator: Victoria Rinkous Källor:https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2013/jan/11/fukushima-50-kamikaze-pilots-sacrificehttps://abcnews.go.com/International/fukushima-50-line-defense-japanese-nuclear-complex/story?id=13147746https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/i-am-one-of-the-fukushima-fifty-one-of-the-men-who-risked-their-lives-to-prevent-a-catastrophe-shares-his-story-8517394.htmlhttps://www.sverigesnatur.org/aktuellt/efter-hardsmaltan-i-fukushima/https://news.nationalgeographic.org/exclusive-one-mans-harrowing-story-of-surviving-the-japan-tsunami/https://edition.cnn.com/2021/03/10/asia/japan-tohoku-fukushima-tenth-anniversary-hnk-dst-intl/index.htmlhttps://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-56252695https://www.krisinformation.se/detta-kan-handa/handelser-och-storningar/2011/fukushima-handelserna-i-japan-2011/bakgrund-om-fukushima1https://sverigesradio.se/avsnitt/karnkraftskatastrofen-i-fukushima
My special guest is author Frank Joseph who comes back to share research into known and unknown encounters our our military and extraterrestrials. The first, comprehensive military history of armed confrontations between humans and extraterrestrials • Includes documentation of incidents from World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and the ongoing hostilities in the Middle East • Reveals the U.S. Navy's defeat in Antarctica by ETs, the shoot-down of “flying saucers” at Roswell, alien sabotage of nuclear weapons, in-flight abductions of USAF and Soviet officers, and photographic evidence of the Battle of Los Angeles • Explains the link between the development of atomic bombs and ballistic missiles and the increase in extraterrestrial intervention in the 20th century Although close encounters with alien space craft are reported as far back as the reign of Pharaoh Thutmosis III in Egypt, it wasn't until the 20th century that UFO sightings and extraterrestrial encounters were truly documented, due to advances in technology and record-keeping as well as the vast increase in incidents, particularly with military forces. Revealing his extensive research and the verifiable evidence he's discovered, Frank Joseph presents a comprehensive military history of armed confrontations between humans and extraterrestrials in the 20th and 21st centuries. He explains how, with the development of atomic bombs and ballistic missiles, the frequency of extraterrestrial intervention in human affairs increased dramatically. He documents incidents both famous and little known, including the explosive demolition of U.S. munitions factories in 1916 by unearthly aerial vehicles, the Red Baron's dogfight with a UFO during World War I, “foo fighter” sightings and battles with Allied and Axis combatants during World War II, and eye-witness reports from encounters during the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War in Iraq, and the ongoing hostilities in the Middle East. He examines the evidence for the shoot-down of “flying saucers” at Roswell and Aztec, New Mexico, alien sabotage of nuclear weapons systems, and in-flight abductions of USAF and Soviet officers and airplanes. He explores the photo evidence for the Battle of Los Angeles, which occurred three months after Pearl Harbor, and the details of Operation Highjump, the U.S. Navy's defeat in Antarctica by ET forces 17 months after the atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, while also uncovering evidence of secret Antarctic German bases. The author also examines recent, 21st-century examples of alien interdiction in Earthly affairs, such as the meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan and the fiery abort of Elon Musk's Falcon 9 missile launch, both events accompanied by UFOs. Offering complete disclosure of the multitude of ET events over the past century, Frank Joseph gives us the first true reference book in the field of alien military encounters. The Battle of Los Angeles, also known as the Great Los Angeles Air Raid, is the name given by contemporary sources to a rumored attack on the continental United States by Imperial Japan and the subsequent anti-aircraft artillery barrage which took place from late 24 February to early 25 February 1942, over Los Angeles, California.[2][3][4] The incident occurred less than three months after the U.S. entered World War II in response to the Imperial Japanese Navy's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, and one day after the bombardment of Ellwoodnear Santa Barbara on 23 February. Initially, the target of the aerial barrage was thought to be an attacking force from Japan, but speaking at a press conference shortly afterward, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox called the purported attack a "false alarm". Newspapers of the time published a number of reports and speculations of a cover-up to conceal an actual invasion by enemy airplanes.In our quest to become fully supported by fans and to eliminate any reliance on advertisements, Mysterious Radio will be accessible solely to our loyal supporters who have become members of our Patreon community.

Crippled by a tsunami of unprecedented scale, one of the reactors at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is in danger of melting down. To save it, workers must do the unthinkable: Vent radioactive steam into the atmosphere, to avoid a larger catastrophe as explosive gasses build up inside the reactor core. And they must risk exposing themselves to dangerous levels of radiation to do it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In March 2011, one of the largest earthquakes in history struck eastern Japan, followed by a massive tsunami. This one-two punch then caused a third disaster—a total loss of power at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Employees at the plant found themselves scrambling to cool down the reactors, and avoid a deadly meltdown.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Israeli Parliamentary Delegation Calls for Support From Taiwan A visiting parliamentary delegation from Israel has held talks with President Tsai Ing-wen. The four member delegation from the Israeli parliament is also thanking Taiwan for its support after Iran's attack over the weekend. Chairman of the Taiwan-Israel Friendship Group Boaz Toporovsky has said the delegation appreciates the collaboration between Taiwan and Israel. It also appreciates the support shown by Tsai and Foreign Minister Joseph Wu in the wake of Iran's attacks. Meanwhile, Israel's representative to Taiwan, Maya Yaron, says there are numerous areas in which the two countries are cooperating or planning to cooperate. That includes tourism, innovation and agriculture. Missile Drills Continue The Ministry of National Defense is continuing to carry out live-fire missile exercises in the Pingtung area. The drills began last week. The army fired Stinger missiles from its vehicle mounted Avenger air-defense system as part of the "Shen Gong" exercise. While the Aviation and Special Forces Command test fired Hellfire and Sidewinder missiles from Apache and Super Cobra helicopters as part of the "Shen Ying" exercise. The military had planned to test fire its newly developed Land Sword II system surface-to-air missile last week. But the test firings were postponed (延遲) to yesterday due to bad weather. Those tests were carried out yesterday. The missiles successfully launched and hit target drones at the Jiupeng Military Base. Taroko Park Post-Quake Restoration Estimated at NT$1b Interior Minister Lin Yu-chang says estimates show that post-earthquake restoration work at the Taroko National Park will cost roughly 1-billion N-T. Lin said several hiking trails, facilities and structures in the park were severely damaged during the earthquake. During a legislative hearing, Lin said the cost of restoring (恢復) portions of the park are his office's responsibility. He says the ministry will be seeking funding of $1-billion. The interior minister also told lawmakers that more accurate estimates will not be available until a damage assessment is completed in about two weeks. Israel will respond to Iran's weekend missile strike: military chief Israel's military chief says Israel will respond to Iran's weekend missile strike. But he has not elaborated on when and how. Israel is said to be considering its next steps and that the Iranian strike of missiles and attack drones “will be met with a response.” The Lieutenant General spoke during a visit to the Nevatim air base. Israel says the base suffered light damage in the Iranian attack. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been huddling (聚集在一起) with top officials to discuss a possible response. World leaders have been urging Israel not to retaliate after Iran launched the attack involving hundreds of drones, ballistic missiles and cruise missiles. EU calls emergency foreign chiefs meeting to discuss Middle East The European Union has called an urgent meeting of the bloc's foreign ministers in an attempt (嘗試、試圖) to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East.

Japan TEPCO to Load Atomic Fuel into Reactor The operator of the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant says it has obtained permission from safety regulators to start loading atomic fuel into a reactor at its only operable plant in Japan. Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings is keen to restart for the first time since the 2011 disaster. It's loaded nuclear fuel into No. 7 reactor at its Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant in north-central Japan. The country is accelerating (加速) the use of nuclear power as a stable and clean source of energy.

13 years have passed since the catastrophic events of March 11th's Great East Japan earthquake & tsunami, along with the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi Plant. Fukushima, as a prefectural community, has demonstrated incredible resiliency in its recovery efforts, but unfortunately there still is a residual stigma attached to the prefecture. One way that Fukushima has been combating that reputation is through some creative initiatives involving education through first-hand experiences. Today, the Krewe sits down with William McMichael, an integral figure in these projects, to discuss how Fukushima University's Fukushima Ambassadors Program & Hope Tourism have helped introduce the world to Fukushima in a different way. ------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

This week, we're discussing the2011 Tohoku Earthquake and subsequent nuclear disaster that would occur at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. A magnitude 9 earthquake would strike the island nation, bringing with it tsunami of up to 133 feet in height and washing away entire towns. These very same waves would over wash the protective barriers at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant and would lead to the eventual meltdown and release of radioactive material into the environment.

After the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi disaster in Japan there was an outcry over nuclear energy, but only for a short period of time. The mainstream media covered the story for ratings, usually downplaying the dangers, while the alternative media painted the meltdown as the end of all life as we know it. Radioisotopes were found a year later in kelp near Southern California; radioactive material was also found in San Francisco as recent as 2018; and even NOAA Fisheries found elevated levels of radiation in some tuna fish. In 2017 the story became widespread again with reports of massive radiation spikes up to 530 sieverts per hour inside Reactor 2. This resulted in robots being destroyed when sent inside. The Japanese government also coerced residents back into the surrounding countryside sooner than later after the disaster under threats of losing financial assistance. Now the Japanese government and TEPCO, Tokyo Electric Power Co., are going ahead with plans to dump 540 Olympic swimming pools worth of tritium-contaminated wastewater into the ocean. Reportedly, the “water was treated with a special filtering system that remove all the radioactive elements except tritium.” What gets forgotten is that it's not so much the current water dumping that is the issue, but the disaster itself which dumped unknown amounts of other radioactive materials into the ocean and atmosphere, including high levels of cesium which was registering at 250 times the acceptable safe limit in 2012, and again in 2019, although at slightly lesser levels.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5328407/advertisement
Seaver Wang's academic training in oceanography makes him a knowledgeable source for discussing Japan's release of tritiated water from Fukushima Daiichi into the Pacific Ocean, a process that began last week. In addition, Wang, the co-director of the climate and energy program at the Breakthrough Institute, discusses future demand for metals and minerals, “radiophobia,” the challenges facing nuclear power, solar supply chains, and China's “cultural erasure” of the Uyghur population in Xinjiang province. (Recorded August 28, 2023)
Workers in Japan started releasing treated radioactive water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean on Thursday. Reactors at the plant began melting down after a 2011 earthquake and tsunami that hit the area. To stop the meltdown, plant workers flooded the reactors with water. But even now, when the plant is offline, the reactors need to be cooled. All that water—about 350 million gallons—is being stored on-site in over 1,000 tanks. And now, these tanks are almost full. Today on the show, host Regina G. Barber talks to NPR reporters Geoff Brumfiel and Kat Lonsdorf about the official plan for the radioactive wastewater, the science behind the release and why some are unhappy about it.

Comprehensive coverage of the day's news with a focus on war and peace; social, environmental and economic justice. Former President Trump today said he's heading to Georgia Thursday to turn himself in to Georgia authorities on charges related to his alleged attempts to overturn his election loss to President Biden. Attorney John Eastman surrenders to authorities on charges in Georgia 2020 election subversion case. The Japanese government says treated and diluted radioactive wastewater from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant will be released into the ocean as early as Thursday. The Biden administration has opened the spigot for new funding to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. New grants totaling nearly one and a half billion dollars will go toward developing a new generation of vaccines and treatments to fight the rapidly-evolving SARS coronavirus 2, and to set the stage to be ready for future pandemic threats. Failed lunar mission dents Russian pride and reflects deeper problems with Moscow's space industry. Members of the striking actor and screenwriter guilds united with the largest federation of unions in the United States for a National Day of Solidarity. House lawmakers reintroduced legislation today that would protect Southeast Asian refugee immigrants from deportations to countries that, for many at risk, they never knew. The post The Pacifica Evening News, Weekdays – August 22, 2023 appeared first on KPFA.

Both before and after the 2011 "Triple Disaster" of earthquake, tidal wave, and consequent meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, anthropologist Satsuki Takahashi visited nearby communities, collecting accounts of life and livelihoods along the industrialized seascape. The resulting environmental ethnography examines the complex relationship between commercial fishing families and the Joban Sea--once known for premium-quality fish and now notorious as the location of the world's worst nuclear catastrophe. Satsuki Takahashi's book Fukushima Futures: Survival Stories in a Repeatedly Ruined Seascape (U Washington Press, 2023) follows postwar Japan's maritime modernization from the perspectives of those most entangled with its successes and failures. In response to unrelenting setbacks, including an earlier nuclear accident at neighboring Tokaimura and the oil spills of stranded tankers during typhoons, these communities have developed survival strategies shaped by the precarity they share with their marine ecosystem. The collaborative resilience that emerges against this backdrop of vulnerability and uncertainty challenges the progress-bound logic of futurism, bringing more hopeful possibilities for the future into sharper focus. Jingyi Li is a PhD Candidate in Japanese History at the University of Arizona. She researches about early modern Japan, literati, and commercial publishing. Learn more about your ad choices.

Recording date: 13th July 2023What's been happeningWe will soon have two US-listed SMR developers. Oklo, an Advanced Fission Technology Company announced they will Go Public via a Merger with AltC Acquisition Corp. a special purpose acquisition company chaired by Sam Altman. The combined company will operate as Oklo and is expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker “OKLO.”The West has received its first boost in enrichment capacity after Urenco approved an investment to expand enrichment capacity by 0.7M SWU at their US site in New Mexico.Closer to home (for Bannerman, at least) Rossing Uranium mine in Namibia announced that they would be switching to contract mining rather than owner operator, as part of its plan to extend production out to 2036. Beifang Mining Technology Services Namibia, will start mining Rossing Phase 4 in 2027. Approximately 400 employees will need to find work with the new mining contractor or other mines.Winner of the week Lotus Resources & A-Cap Energy have agreed to merge via a Scheme of Arrangement, under which Lotus will acquire 100% of A-Cap Shares. A-Cap shareholders will receive 1 new Lotus Share for every 3.54 A-Cap shares held on the Scheme record date. The merger combines two uranium projects both located in Africa – a production-ready asset, Kayelekera, with future large-scale growth asset, Letlhakane.Bungle of the weekThe Bungle this week is a collective award to the various parties around the world who are gaining leverage by serving up anti-science fear about the release of Tritium water from Fukushima. This ranges from the usual tired old suspects (anti-nuclear types who long ago forewent any respect for science) to Korean trade unionists. This is despite an IAEA safety review concluding that Japan's plan to release treated water stored at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station into the sea are consistent with IAEA Safety Standards.However, there is a serious side to this bungle as the hysteria may be used as a diplomatic tool by the Chinese, who are not terribly comfortable with the warming of diplomatic relations between Seoul and Tokyo.Question of the week‘What do you make of CNUC going back into Niger?'Tweet of the weekhttps://twitter.com/fuecks/status/1678349409157775360?s=20The English translation of his thread follows:Dear people, I was a (rather active) nuclear opponent for decades. Now it's time to take note of a few facts: No other country shut down its nuclear power plants prematurely in the middle of the climate and energy crisis. The trend is towards extending the term./2Numerous industrialized countries see nuclear power & renewables as complementary. Massive investments are again being made in R&D for the further development of nuclear energy. Whether this will lead to a new wave of investment remains to be seen. /3There are still good reasons to decide against nuclear power. But this path is also associated with high costs and risks. Instead of praying down old certainties, we should re-evaluate things. The head is round so that thinking can change direction. /4Addendum: I am well aware that the share of nuclear power in global electricity production is falling while the expansion of renewable energy is growing exponentially. Nevertheless, in view of climate change, we chose the wrong order with "nuclear phase-out first". /5The primary goal must be to phase out coal, oil and natural gas. What complementary role nuclear energy will play in a climate-neutral energy system is an open question. In the EU + other industrialized countries, a combination of sun, wind, hydropower + nuclear power is emerging. /6Moonshots & FizzersWill Canada become global leaders in Nuclear Energy? In the latest pro-nuclear development in Canada, the Ontario government announced support to advance the long-term planning and consultation work required to explore nuclear expansion options on the Bruce Power site. It intends to create the largest nuclear power plant in the world with the addition of up to 4.8GWe to the plant's already installed 6.2GWe capacity.For the record, Canada is already a leader in many respects. The only risk of a fizzer is from a relatively similar country and economy that seems to be going in precisely the opposite direction: Australia.

This is despite an IAEA safety review concluding that Japan's plan to release treated water stored at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station into the sea are consistent with IAEA Safety Standards.However, there is a serious side to this bungle as the hysteria may be used as a diplomatic tool by the Chinese, who are not terribly comfortable with the warming of diplomatic relations between Seoul and Tokyo.Question of the week‘What do you make of CNUC going back into Niger?'Tweet of the weekhttps://twitter.com/fuecks/status/1678349409157775360?s=20The English translation of his thread follows:Dear people, I was a (rather active) nuclear opponent for decades. Now it's time to take note of a few facts: No other country shut down its nuclear power plants prematurely in the middle of the climate and energy crisis. The trend is towards extending the term./2Numerous industrialized countries see nuclear power & renewables as complementary. Massive investments are again being made in R&D for the further development of nuclear energy. Whether this will lead to a new wave of investment remains to be seen. /3There are still good reasons to decide against nuclear power. But this path is also associated with high costs and risks. Instead of praying down old certainties, we should re-evaluate things. The head is round so that thinking can change direction. /4Addendum: I am well aware that the share of nuclear power in global electricity production is falling while the expansion of renewable energy is growing exponentially. Nevertheless, in view of climate change, we chose the wrong order with "nuclear phase-out first". /5The primary goal must be to phase out coal, oil and natural gas. What complementary role nuclear energy will play in a climate-neutral energy system is an open question. In the EU + other industrialized countries, a combination of sun, wind, hydropower + nuclear power is emerging. /6Moonshots & FizzersWill Canada become global leaders in Nuclear Energy? In the latest pro-nuclear development in Canada, the Ontario government announced support to advance the long-term planning and consultation work required to explore nuclear expansion options on the Bruce Power site. It intends to create the largest nuclear power plant in the world with the addition of up to 4.8GWe to the plant's already installed 6.2GWe capacity.For the record, Canada is already a leader in many respects. The only risk of a fizzer is from a relatively similar country and economy that seems to be going in precisely the opposite direction: Australia.
Continue hearing the story of Hanford and Fukushima Daiichi downwinders with Trisha Thompson Pritikin and Dr. Yuki Miyamoto. In part two of this conversation, they discuss the generational health effects passed down from radiation exposure and the litigation process the Fukushima Daiichi downwinders are currently undergoing.
This week, Trisha Thompson Pritikin and Dr. Yuki Miyamoto have the microphone. In part one of this conversation, they discuss the parallels between the Hanford and the Fukushima Daiichi downwinders, and how radioactive iodine can impact the body. Trisha Thompson Pritikin is a Hanford Downwinder and author of the book The Hanford Plaintiffs. Dr. Yuki Miyamoto is a second generation Hiroshima Hibakusha and an associate professor at DePaul University, where she uses comparative ethical framework to examine nuclear discourse.
On March 11, 2011, fifty minutes after a magnitude 9.0 earthquake hit eastern Japan, a tsunami 45-feet high engulfed the nuclear power plant known as Fukushima Daiichi, knocking out electrical power and all the reactors' safety systems. Three reactor cores experienced meltdowns in the first three days, leading to an unimaginable nuclear disaster. The person the Tokyo Electric Power Company called for help was Dr. Chuck Casto.What an amazing and humble gentleman. A great honour and pleasure speaking with Chuck, I am sure you will love this conversation as much as I did.Dr. Charles Casto is a nuclear safety and regulatory professional with 38 years of experience consisting of positions of increasing responsibility, including executive, regulatory, technical, and operational areas of expertise. He was a member of the U.S. Government's Senior Executive Service, and last held the position of NRC, Regional Administrator, Region III, overseeing 23 reactors in eight states as one of the senior administrators for the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission.Dr. Casto led the integrated US Government and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) efforts in Japan during the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011. Working directly with Ambassador Roos, and coordinating with the NRC's Emergency Operations Center in the U.S., he represented the United States Government to the Japanese Prime Minister's Cabinet. His efforts are widely recognized as being a singular contribution to the emergency response during the Fukushima nuclear crisis, through his efforts in coordinating the U.S. government response, providing technical consultation to the Daiichi plant manager and Japan's nuclear agencies, and serving as a liaison to Japanese Prime Minister Kan Naoto during the Fukushima nuclear disaster. After serving for 11 months in Japan as the U.S. government's lead nuclear representative during the crisis, Dr. Casto received the Presidential Distinguished Award (2012) from President Obama; for his contributions to the U.S. government, he previously received the Meritorious Rank Award (2009) from President Bush.Links.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-charles-chuck-casto-990b948/Website: https://www.castogroup.com/Further context can be gained here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciRRsCIAy6A Thanks for listening.

THE THESIS: This is progressive originalism and, yes, that is oxymoronic. Justice Jackson is making the case that racism as government policy is okay because the old, white men who wrote our founding documents were, in her mind, racist. What she really intends to do is to push the Cultural Revolution from the bench as anyone who read even a little bit about her views as a judge knew she would do on SCOTUS. THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES: Hosea 9:7The days of punishment are coming, the days of reckoning are at hand. Let Israel know this.Because your sins are so many and your hostility so great,the prophet is considered a fool, the inspired person a maniac.Hosea 9:10“When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the desert;when I saw your ancestors, it was like seeing the early fruit on the fig tree.But when they came to Baal Peor, they consecrated themselves to that shameful idol and became as vile as the thing they loved.Hosea 10:3-4Then they will say, “We have no king because we did not revere the Lord.But even if we had a king, what could he do for us?”4 They make many promises, take false oaths and make agreements;therefore lawsuits spring up like poisonous weeds in a plowed field.THE NEWS & COMMENT:The woman who is on the court because she is black and female--though she famously has no idea what the word “woman” means--is doing exactly what we knew she would do: attempting to legislate racism unto the law, making all black people victims and all white people oppressors. She is nothing more than a communist who intends to legislate America into splintered pieces. [AUDIO] - Justice Jackson tells the Alabama solicitor general that the Framers of the 14th Amendment did NOT intend it to be “race neutral or race blind,” so taking race into account to protect minority voting rights is perfectly constitutional. Progressive originalism at work.Jackson wants to control who gets what and she uses racism as her cover. The Revolutionary Communist Party's Podcast celebrates using the cover of the weather--Climate Catastrophe, don't-cha-know--to control everything. The 14th Amendment “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”Her comrades in the Communist Party, USA are really excited about the new control governments are seizing: [AUDIO] - There are many creative ideas for how to address the #climate crisis. Under capitalism they go nowhere if they aren't profitable. But these ideas CAN be put into effect in a revolutionary socialist system.Raymond Lotta was or is a leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party (“USA”) and the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement.Almost ten years ago, I began pointing out that America has been pushed into a cold, civil war. I guess I should feel better with people like Victor David Hanson in agreement with me:Victor Davis Hanson: The Thinnest Veneer Of Civilization RemainsThe veneer of respectability and civility has no place in the separate Country of California where the government intends to control what every doctor says and/or prescribes using Covid as the cover: Want Informed Consent? Speak Out Against California's New ‘Misinformation' Law; Now is the time to speak out against California's AB 2098, signed into law Friday by Gov. Gavin Newsom, which designates the dissemination of misinformation or disinformation related to COVID-19 as “unprofessional conduct."In the heart of every tyrant there is the poison combination of fear, arrogance and ignorance. They fear because they don't know The Lord, they are arrogant because they believe themselves to be god-like and they remain ignorant because they believe there is nothing they do not know. Alaska Earthquake; Elite Panic vs. the Resilient Populace. The lessons of a forgotten American disasterAs in war, the first casualty in disasters is often the truth. One symptom of elite panic is the belief that too much information, or the wrong kind of information, will send citizens reeling. After the 2011 tsunami knocked out Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, officials gave a series of confusing briefings. To many, they seemed to be downplaying the amount of radiation released in the accident. In the end, the radiation risks turned out to be much lower than feared, resulting in no civilian deaths. But, by then, the traumatized public had lost faith in any official statements. As one team of researchers notes, any “perceived lack of information provision increases public anxiety and distrust.”Elite panic frequently brings out another unsavory quirk on the part of some authorities: a tendency to believe the worst about their own citizens. In the midst of the Hurricane Katrina crisis in 2005, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin found time to go on Oprah Winfrey's show and lament “hooligans killing people, raping people” in the Superdome. Public officials and the media credulously repeated rumors about street violence, snipers shooting at helicopters, and hundreds of bodies piled in the Superdome. These all turned out to be wild exaggerations or falsehoods (arguably tinged by racism). But the stories had an impact: Away from the media's cameras, a massive rescue effort—made up of freelance volunteers, Coast Guard helicopters, and other first responders—was underway across the city. But city officials, fearing attacks on the rescuers, frequently delayed these operations. They ordered that precious space in boats and helicopters be reserved for armed escorts.Too often, the need to “avoid panic” serves as a retroactive justification for all manner of official missteps. In late March, as the coronavirus pandemic was climbing toward its crest in New York City, Mayor Bill De Blasio appeared on CNN's State of the Union to defend his record. Host Jake Tapper pressed the mayor on his many statements—as recently as two weeks earlier—urging New Yorkers to “go about their lives.” Tapper asked whether those statements were “at least in part to blame for how the virus has spread across the city.” De Blasio didn't give an inch. “Everybody was working with the information we had,” he explained, “and trying, of course, to avoid panic.” How advising people to avoid bars and Broadway shows would have been tantamount to panic was left unexplained.
It's been more than decade since the meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. But the region is still grappling with the environmental, economic and emotional legacy of the disaster. Evacuations have lifted – but many people still haven't returned. And what does it mean to reopen a nuclear ghost town? That's what NPR reporter Kat Lonsdorf wanted to discover when she visited Fukushima in early 2020. Kat joins host Mike Corey to discuss how locals are rebuilding their communities and the future of nuclear power in Japan.For more on the aftermath of the disaster, listen to Kat Lonsdorf's NPR series, Recovering Fukushima.Listen early and ad free with Wondery+.

Crippled by a tsunami of unprecedented scale, one of the reactors at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is in danger of melting down. To save it, workers must do the unthinkable: Vent radioactive steam into the atmosphere, to avoid a larger catastrophe as explosive gasses build up inside the reactor core. And they must risk exposing themselves to dangerous levels of radiation to do it.Listen early and ad free with Wondery+. Join Wondery+ for exclusives, binges, early access, and ad free listening.

In March 2011, one of the largest earthquakes in history struck eastern Japan, followed by a massive tsunami. This one-two punch then caused a third disaster—a total loss of power at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Employees at the plant found themselves scrambling to cool down the reactors, and avoid a deadly meltdown.Listen early and ad free with Wondery+.
