The Under-Reporting of Fukushima We are assured that “nuclear power is safe,” and some environmentalists classify nuclear power as green. Fukushima is a massive problem for these spurious claims. http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/02/22/fukushima-deep-trouble/ Consider also that in the event of nuclear war, which would knock out power, each nuclear power plant would be converted into a nuclear bomb as the cooling system would cease to function.

Presstitutes At Work Paul Craig Roberts This morning I was stuck in front of a Fox “News” broadcast for a short period and then with a NPR news program. It was enough to convince me that Nazi propaganda during Hitler’s Third Reich was very mild compared to the constant stream of dangerous lies that are pumped out constantly by the American media. The New York...

Sanctions Can Be Applied to Russia but It Is Illegal to apply Sanctions to Israel In 2007 two distinguished scholars, John J. Mearsheimer and Stehen M. Walt, published a book, The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy.
