62 years ago, on August 9th, 1945, the second of the only two atomic bombs (a plutonium bomb) ever used as instruments of aggressive war (against essentially defenseless civilian populations) was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, by an all-Christian bomb crew. The well-trained American soldiers were only "doing their job," and they did it efficiently.
It had been only 3 days since the first bomb, a uranium bomb, had decimated Hiroshima on August 6, with chaos and confusion in Tokyo, where the (…)

As the world teeters on the brink of total Armageddon, thanks to a global network of war profiteers, multi-billionaire weapons manufacturers, corrupted politicians, apathetic and sociopathic mobs of industrial consumers, we once again cross the memorial marker of the first atomic bombing of civilian populations on our planet at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Fear and fury in shadow of Japan’s damaged nuclear giant

By David McNeill in Kashiwazaki
Published: 21 July 2007
One wonders what the pitch was: building the planet’s largest nuclear power plant on one of its most seismically unstable plots of real estate.
Yet, somehow here the plant squats on the outskirts of this town of 93,000 people, a seven-reactor, 8,200 megawatt monster, ringed by roads that are cracked and buckled from this week’s deadly earthquake.
Inside, in the seconds after the quake - which measured 6.8 on the Richter scale (…) -

By Jeanna Bryner, LiveScience Staff Writer
SAN FRANCISCO-A small-scale, regional nuclear war could disrupt the global climate for a decade or more, with environmental effects that could be devastating for everyone on Earth, researchers have concluded.

The USUK’s Uranium Wars: worse than Hitler’s Genocide

Uranium Wars: here’s something else you’re just not going to hear about on the mainstream media (MSM).
Yet this is the reality: since the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the US, Britain and the rest of what is called the New World Order has been conducting a systematic program of genocide —or population reduction as it is euphemistically called— with the use of one or another form of radioactivity.
The fact is that the United States and its military partners (…) -
Nuking Iran: The Republican Agenda?

William M. Arkin on National and Homeland Security Nuking Iran: The Republican Agenda?
At the Republican debate last night, almost all the candidates said that they would not rule out a nuclear attack on Iran as a means to prevent it from getting its own nuclear weapons. Only one of these knuckleheads would say that attacking Iran — indeed even threatening to nuke Iran — is not the right strategy.
"We have to come to our senses about this issue of war and preemption," he said. The (…) -
USUK Preparations for the Apocalypse?

1 commentIn an inexorable build-up of propaganda and military encirclement prior to a first strike attack on Iran, the Bush junta, along with its London quislings, have switched their anti-Iranian propaganda from nuclear issues to accuse the Iranian government of "meddling" in Iraq and supplying Iraqi guerillas weapons with which to fight the US and British occupying troops.
The evidence for such allegations was always sketchy and reminiscent of the concocted lies about Yellowcake Uranium and WMDs, (…) -

A German farmer has been awarded 3,000 euros compensation for being roughed up by police during a transport of nuclear waste half a kilometre from his farm.
In November 2004 the farmer was working with his forklift near the railway line on which caskets containing the highly radioactive waste were to run to a dump in Gorleben, northern Germany.
Police yanked him brutally from his tractor and threatened him with a pistol. He was led off in handcuffs and taken to a detainee (…) -
