SOPA is American Fascist Suppression

The SOPA act is another stage in the War on Freedom that is being carried out by the American Political Elite and Corporate interests. Effectively giving corporations and govt the power to shutdown any website they want with no legal process at a moments notice. This legislation represents complete fascism in action.

It just shows how far down the path of suppression the American leaders are prepared to travel. We have already seen the results of 10 years of war in the Middle East. The incredible waste of finite energy resources that have forced up the cost of living, brought the banking system to it’s knees and hastened the inevitable spiral into a post depression global war of attrition as the Elite seek to preserve their status and power in the coming energy crunch.

Now they are attempting to remove the first Amendment right of free speech from their constitution in order to suppress the truth that can readily be found on the internet as the knowledgable ones share their wisdom with the masses bypassing the Mainstream Corporate Media and providing instant enlightenment for those who care to read.



The Big Liebycia

With the passing of the 10 year anniversary of the events of 9/11 2001 there is a lot of recollection from various intellectuals discussing the tragedy that has been the past 10 years and the inevitable continuation that will be the next 10.

What seems to be missing from the dialog is a frank discussion of the real problem that made the events of 9/11 possible. Simply that by allowing the Bankster Elites to control the media, politics and money supply we are ensuring that the excuses used to justify “The Big Lie” will continue to play out in perpetuity. We are seeing an actual “perpetual mobile” in action. A self fulfilling and self generating feedback loop that creates more toxicity than it consumes and consumes more energy than it creates.

The unfortunate truth about the events that led to “The Big Lie” is the elephant in the room when it comes to media analysis. Everyone knows the truth but no one wants to discuss it directly in public. The consensus is that by discussing it directly they are putting their own necks on the line. People have their careers to think about and with the current economic outlook so gloomy that is the most pressing issue on most peoples minds.

The truth is left off the agenda while the rest of the world is fed out right lies by the corporate mainstream press as they seek to glorify the tragedy and frame it in the light of the big fight against terrorism. Forget about the fact that the world is running out of energy resources to exploit and the Elites are simply trying to control the consumption of what is left to maximise the profits they can reap from society while doing so.

As a civilisation we are on the verge of collapse. We have almost exhausted our main source of energy. The population of the world is continuing to grow exponentially while the remaining energy resources continue to decline at the same exponential pace. We are now in the winter years of energy decline. As we approach the precipice of rapid descent the remaining resources are being fought over more viciously than ever before. The inevitable result from continuing escalation of resource conflicts is total destruction of modern society.

As a global community we are allowing our Financial Elite to have too much control of the direction of our societal agenda. Financial Elites base their decisions on irrational monetary goals that have no direct relation to human needs or even scientific process of efficiency. A financial leader will be quite at ease with consuming existing energy resources in order to gain control of less energy efficient resources if they see more value in the acquisition due to the laws of supply and demand. This simple and core value which defines the goals of the Financial Elite is the only reason that we find ourselves in the middle of this mess which they have purposefully created.

The Case Against the Oil Wars

We all know by now that the world is running out of fossil fuels. In particular the oil that provides energy for all our transportation, most of our food production and a lot of our electricity is being consumed quicker than we can replace it with any other source of energy. The Western powers have embarked on a campaign to effectively control the remaining reserves that are not already in the power of Russia, China, Brazil and Venezuela. The result is we have perpetual wars in the Middle East and now moving into Africa via Libya.

There is a significant problem with the use of war as a means of controlling the oil distribution and extraction process. The main problem being that wars create unbalanced societies. They also destroy infrastructure and tend to result in a lot of violence and human carnage. These issues are long term and are not easily or quickly solved. They also happen to be the last thing that a rampaging Army has on it’s mind once the action is over. They are not actually interested in creating balanced peaceful societies. That is like asking an addict to take care of your drug supply. It’s just not going to result in a positive outcome for anyone involved.

One of the core ideas behind controlling the supply of oil is that the people in power i.e the Banksters printing the money to fund the war machine, can control the energy supply in the coming years as the competition for the remaining oil causes massive spikes in prices and only the uber wealthy, Governments and Mega Corporations are in a position financially to justify the expense of using up the remaining energy for their business and personal use. However this idea falters when war is used to secure the supply as they effectively decrease the supply of oil to the market by destroying infrastructure and creating unstable environments where no one with the expertise and experience to rebuild the infrastructure is prepared to put their lives on the line in order to fulfill the original plan of controlling the supply. So the end result is that the oil wars create a net loss in terms of available supply of oil to the market and considering that we are running out at an exponential rate anyway this only serves to drive up prices faster and further unbalance the global economy.

Hence the desire to remove from the consumption process a large number of oil consumers who would otherwise be competing for the remaining reserves. Otherwise known as the Bilberberg plan for reducing the population of the world to 500 million people. This is a negative, self destructive cycle that we are now being subjected to by the Banksters and their Corporate and Governmental cronies. The outcome of such a cycle is only a negative result. However it is often found that once an addict hits rock bottom and there is no where else to go they have to face the hard truths about their situation and make some changes for the better. Either that or they die and everyone that is affected by their actions can get on with their lives.

In this regard we are at a crucial point in the history of modern civilisation. Do we sink or swim? Who gets to loose out or is it a case of everyone looses permanently?

The Differing States of Plutonium

Plutonium is the nastiest element we know. It maximizes damage in every respect! Even as a pure metal it doesn’t behave normally.

    It has five oxidation states in aqueous solution. Four of those oxidation states (namely III, IV, V, VI) can exist simultaneously at relatively high concentrations in equilibrium with each other. This is unusual and it results in “Complicated Solution Phenomena”.

    Plutonium forms binary compounds with oxygen (including intermediate oxides of variable composition). It combines with the halogens and with carbon, nitrogen and silicon (i.e. Plutonium is toxic to all life, including silicon based lifeforms) and in addition can form with Oxyhalides.

    The metal itself is silvery in appearance, chemically reactive, and has six solid crystalline states just between room temperature and its melting point at 640 degrees C. The surface reacts in air to form the nonadherent Plutonium Oxide which becomes airborne and is pyrophoric and highly poisonous. This contrasts with most metal oxides, like iron oxide, which stick to the surface and reduce flamability and toxicity.

    It can be alloyed into stainless steel, iron, and aluminum for machining into ‘parts’. Pellets can also be made of Plutonium Carbide.

    Plutonium 238, and also 239 and 240, mostly emit Alpha radiation which is relatively hard to detect. Plutonium 241 emits Beta and Gamma radiation. Plutonium 241 has a half life of 14 years, the Beta emitters Plutonium 239 and 240 have half lives of 24,300 and 16,600 years, respectively.

Due to the differing states of Plutonium and the fact that you only need to get a micron of it into your system to cause chemical poisoning we have a situation at Fukushima that has never been encountered before. The Plutonium, Uranium, Cesium, Iodine being emitted into the environment are extremely toxic to human health. In it’s essence we are witnessing genocide of the Japanese people. The long term affects that this disaster is having on the environment are entirely unknown as we have never witnessed anything on this scale before. If we thought Chernobyl or the Gulf Disaster was bad this is unprecedented. Never before has so much Plutonium been dispersed into the environment.

Given that there are hundreds more reactors around the world with the exact same potential as Fukushima it is inevitable that this will happen again if we do not shut down the system that allows such a society to exist that is prepared to let Banksters and Corporate/Governmental sycophants make the decisions for the rest of us on what is a reasonable level of acceptable risk. For too long we have watched and participated in this failed system based on Fiat currency and now we are seeing the results of the failure of that system.

World energy supply crunch, global economic collapse, wars, famines, massive global environmental catastrophes of unprecedented proportions each one getting more destructive with the passing years. We are literally destroying ourselves in order to have money! A completely imaginary concept that serves only one purpose. To keep the brain dead and criminally inept Elite in their position of privilege while the rest of us do the hard work for them.

The Full Life of Radioactive Elements

So far at Fukushima we have seen 4-5 times more Cesium-137 emitted than from Chernobyl.

Radioactive elements have a half life of differing periods. Cs-137 has a half life of 30 years. The full life however is much longer as it decays exponentially which means it takes 30 years to get to half then 30 years to get to half of that, then 30 years to get to half of a half of a half and so on, so forth…

Cesium 137 – full life chart

30 yr = 50% 60 yr = 25% 90 yr = 12.5%
120 yr = 6.25% 150 yr = 3.125% 180 yr = 1.5625%
210 yr = 0.78125% 240 yr = 0.390625% 270 yr = 0.1953125%

The amount of danger to humans is also defined by the amount of the material that is released into the environment. While a lot of the Cesium is being dumped into the Pacific ocean it only needs to be consumed by fish to make it into the food chain where it will do damage to human health for over 300 years. Even though they say “the solution to pollution is dilution” it doesn’t matter when it only takes a micron of I-131, Cs-137, U-235, Pu-239 to be within a micron of distance to a molecule in a human body when it has been ingested by eating contaminated fish, meat, dairy, vegetable produce and the like to have a detrimental effect (cancer, posioning, etc…). So far the Japanese authorities have banned over 99 items for sale and consumption. In reality anything from Japan is now off limits to those who prefer not to take the risk of consuming radioactive substances. That includes cars, computers, components, etc.. that can carry radioactive dust. Just having it on your clothes is enough to get sick. Getting it on your hands and then ingesting it will cause horrible debilitating illnesses, sickness and death.

We haven’t even started to account for the amount of Uranium and Plutonium dust that has been dispersed since the March 11 Tsunami. One thing is certain, when aliens come to earth they will be able to say definitively when and where we managed to kill ourselves off. We are witnessing the effects of a nuclear war without having had the fireworks to go with it.

In addition at Fukushima there is enough nuclear material stored to produce more than 400 nuclear weapons. 1760 metric tonnes of nuclear material is onsite at the facility.

The question needs to be asked, what purpose do/did the Japanese have for keeping that much weapons grade nuclear material on hand?

The Fukushima disaster is getting worse

The latest news from Japan is that they have measured radiation in vegetables 220km south of Fukushima. Note that Tokyo is 250km south. In addition they have admitted that they are requesting everyone within the 30km zone to voluntarily evacuate and have also admitted that radiation levels are much higher than acceptable outside 60km from the facility. They have now recognized that the core at reactor three has been breached. Three workers were exposed to 10000 times the level that is dangerous to human health. The odds of them surviving such extreme radiation are slim to nil.

They are now upgrading the situation to 6 out of 7 on the international scale.

Calculations made by experts place the level of soil contamination in some locations at levels comparable to those found after the Chernobyl accident in 1986.

With the Fukushima plant continuing to release radiation, there is the danger that the contaminated land will be unusable for many years.

To calculate the spread of radiation using the System for Prediction of Environmental Emergency Dose Information, the Nuclear Safety Commission of Japan estimates the discharge rate for radioactive iodine per hour from the Fukushima plant based on radiation measurements taken at various locations.

Using those figures to make a simple calculation of the amount of discharge between 6 a.m. March 12 and midnight Wednesday results in figures between 30,000 and 110,000 terabecquerels. Tera is a prefix meaning 1 trillion.

The INES defines a level 7 major accident such as Chernobyl as one in which radiation of more than several tens of thousands of terabecquerels is released.

The Fukushima accident is already at a level 6, which is defined as having a radiation discharge of several thousands to several tens of thousands of terabecquerels.

The discharge of radioactive iodine at the Chernobyl accident was said to be about 1.8 million terabecquerels. The Three Mile Island accident, which was considered the second-worst accident until now, had only a limited discharge of radioactive iodine into the outside atmosphere, but was classified as a level 5 accident because of the considerable damage done to the core.

The most worrying aspect in the media coverage is they are still telling people they can consume radioactive food without any cause for concern. This gross manipulation of scientific fact in order to quell fears is not only criminally misleading but it is also just plain stupidity. Comparisons to the level of radiation from flying in a plane are completely redundant. Injesting radioactive material is threatening to your health no matter what the quantity. In the same way if you could bottle the radiation that you are exposed to while flying on a plane and then drink or eat it you would get sick and greatly increase the risk of life threatening cancer and death.

Insight into why the Japanese are Lying about Fukushima

Here’s a snippet from an interview about the Fukushima nuclear situation in Japan. It gives us some insight into why they are covering up the issues and the depth they are prepared to go to to maintain the lie that everything is going to plan.

But what’s worrisome is that a nuclear reactor is not like what the schematic pictures show (shows a graphic picture of a reactor, like those used on TV). This is just a cartoon. Here’s what it looks like underneath a reactor container (shows a photograph). This is the butt end of the reactor. Take a look. It’s a forest of switch levers and wires and pipes. On television these pseudo-scholars come on and give us simple explanations, but they know nothing, those college professors. Only the engineers know. This is where water has been poured in. This maze of pipes is enough to make you dizzy. Its structure is too wildly complex for us to understand. For a week now they have been pouring water through there. And it’s salt water, right? You pour salt water on a hot kiln and what do you think happens? You get salt. The salt will get into all these valves and cause them to freeze. They won’t move. This will be happening everywhere. So I can’t believe that it’s just a simple matter of you reconnecting the electricity and the water will begin to circulate. I think any engineer with a little imagination can understand this. You take a system as unbelievably complex as this and then actually dump water on it from a helicopter – maybe they have some idea of how this could work, but I can’t understand it.

Internal irradiation happens when radioactive material is ingested into the body. What happens? Say there is a nuclear particle one meter away from you. You breathe it in, it sticks inside your body; the distance between you and it is now at the micron level. One meter is 1000 millimeters, one micron is one thousandth of a millimeter. That’s a thousand times a thousand: a thousand squared. That’s the real meaning of “inverse ratio of the square of the distance.” Radiation exposure is increased by a factor of a trillion. Inhaling even the tiniest particle, that’s the danger.

You have to take constant measurements, but they are not able to do that. And you need to investigate just what is escaping, and how much. That requires very sophisticated measuring instruments. You can’t do it just by keeping a monitoring post. It’s no good just to measure the level of radiation in the air. Whiz in by car, take a measurement, it’s high, it’s low – that’s not the point. We need to know what kind of radioactive materials are escaping, and where they are going – they don’t have a system in place for doing that now.

Thorium Ignorance is a Global Societal Issue

What is wrong with the media that they consistently and ignorantly fail to report on the Thorium Fuel economy?

Is it because most of the media organisations are owned by big business interests that have major stakes in the Uranium economy?

Is it because they are just plain stupid?

When something as game changing and obvious is definitively ignored it suggests a massively biased agenda. Do they really think that we are not able to find out the information for ourselves anyway?

If Steve Jobs is Businessman of the decade because he was able to push through sweeping changes in manufacturing processes and effectively strong arm the mobile industry into making a 10 year development cycle in a 2 year period then wouldn’t it be viable for us to force the Nuclear industry and military industrial complex to finally accept that the Thorium Economy is a valid and acceptable way of solving many of the worlds immediate energy problems?

They say it will take 20 years or more for the world to switch to Thorium. Graft, Corruption, Bureaucracy and industrial resistance will make it 100 years before we make any progress. The longer we leave it to get started on the transition the less likelihood we will actually succeed. With every day of the Uranium economy providing the potential for complete global annihilation it is imperative that we as a modern civilization seize the opportunity to make a successful change in our systems to allow us to continue as a species and make the inevitable move into the final frontier.

We cannot continue to waste our time waiting for the people at the top to get the message and decide they want to enable this transition. We have to make them aware that they are not going to have a choice when everyone is dead from the pollution caused by Nuclear meltdowns of aging equipment and “look the other way” government agencies as proven in the Fukushima Cloud of Death debacle and reinforced by the Gulf Oil Disaster.

The current system is designed to allow corruption and graft to succeed. We can do better than that! The people who want to live in and sustain that society should not be allowed to make the decisions for the rest of us!

The people of the Middle East and Africa who know best the situation with their oil reserves, food and cost of living have made their voices heard. Now it is time for the rest of us to get our selves together and force the changes that we need to make sure we are able to move forward as a global society and not just kill ourselves off with increasingly inept and illogical decision making and systems management where passing the buck and dodging the bullet are the status quo if not outright encouraged to be deemed successful.

Nuclear fallout from Fukushima

While the mainstream media may be content to portray the current situation as business as normal as the levels of radiation officially detected in the USA are nothing to be concerned about they are not discussing the problem of sustained amounts of radionuclides being pumped into the atmosphere have to eventually go somewhere and be absorbed.

Currently the biggest issue is that amount of Cesium-137 that is traversing the globe. With a half life of 30 years it is going to have a significant long term affect on the diary industry and basically anything that consumes grass. So if you like your beef with a hefty does of cancer causing Cesium-137 it makes sense to not be worried. It really is business as usual.

Most of the other elements being detected have significantly less long term potential for damage to human health unless of course you are in the path of the toxic plume or happen to be living in Japan right now. In that case you really are at significant risk of a horrible painful death from radiation poisoning.

Barium-140 has a half life of 13 days and Iodine-131 is 8 days. Certainly enough time for anyone in the direct path of the toxic plume to be significantly adversely affected by exposure.

It seems the only thing currently going right in this incredible chain of events is that the wind has been consistently blowing westward for the past week moving most of the radiation out into the pacific where it is being absorbed by the ocean and hopefully dispersed enough not to have a significant immediate effect on the worlds food supply. Of course you wouldn’t want to eat any fish that was caught in that part of the world during the next few months.

With a sustained toxic plume sweeping it’s way across the pacific and having been originally detected in continental USA on Wednesday 16 March only 5 days after the Tsunami hit that means Americans have been potentially exposed to large doses of Cesium-137 for the past 4 days straight. Given the cesium-137 has a half life of 30 years and the other radionuclides last for at least a week this is definitely in my book a cause for concern.

People in the USA are right to be boosting on Iodine, calcium and potassium at this point. They should also be very concerned about ingesting dairy products and the California wine industry is probably off limits for this year at least.

If that wasn’t bad enough the real cause for concern is for the Japanese people who are currently being exposed to the highest dose of radiation poisoning on mass that modern civilization has ever seen. It’s extraordinarily sad but the truth is that we are currently witnessing a mass homicide being conducted by TEPCO and the Japanese Governement. Aided and abetted by the IAEA and the global nuclear and military industrial complex all in the cause of having access to weapons grade material for constructing nuclear weapons.

When will they finally realise that we don’t want this to be our reality?

With the choice between Uranium/Plutonium reactors with enough energy to power the world for a couple of hundred years and the constant threat of nuclear weapons and horrible ecological damage from a meltdown event or a Thorium based economy that consumes Uranium/Plutonium, has no weapons possibilities in addition to being so abundant that we could have basically free energy for thousands of years any rational person would choose the latter option. Unfortunately the military industrial complex and Big money power companies are anything but rational. It often seems like the people in charge of those organisations actually enjoy death and destruction and want to do as much damage as possible.

Isn’t it time for a change?

wtf is carbon intensity of supply?

A very proper report from the UK Committee on Climate Change looks at the future of fuel and electricity supply in Britain. Apart from the obvious statements that meat will be more expensive and there will be an increase in fuel poor people they also provide this rather nice graph of their projected timeline for carbon intensity of supply.

For those of you wondering wtf is carbon intensity of supply here’s an explanation. Basically this is how much fossil fuel contributes to the overall supply of electricity to the grid.

If we use this graph as an overview of the general trend in fossil fuel supplies we can see the UK govt is projecting that within the next 10 years they will have approximately half the energy that they currently get from fossil fuel. We can go a step further to say this looks at though they are projecting that by the end of the decade the whole world will have to accept that we have half as much energy from fossil fuels as we do today. This graph is one of the few projections that is officially sanctioned by a major western power. Along with recent admissions from Russia that they have enough fossil fuel in reserve to meet the needs of todays rate of consumption (RoC) for the next 30 years or approximately 10 years at exponentially increasing RoC.

Interestingly the UK report says they will be controlling the grid and personalised power cuts will become the norm. People will have to eat less red meat, install ground source heat pumps and most cars will have to be electric by 2030.

Given that even the industrial might of the US of A is going to struggle to get just 1 million electric cars on the road within the next 4 years the likelihood of converting the entire world fleet to electric in the next 10 years is almost impossible. By that point any cars being made will be ludicrously expensive to manufacture so very few people will be able to afford them. We can already see that trend with companies like Tesla motors who are positioning themselves at the top end of the current market.

It seems that we as a global community have really missed our chance to make the coming transition away from fossil fuels a smooth process. What is it about forward planning and preparation that is so difficult for multinational corporations to achieve? Isn’t that what people are paid for?
