“When the Chernobyl accident happened some of the iodine went around the world several times. In fact, you, I, everyone – we all have a piece of Chernobyl in our body…” ~ Theoretical physicist and author Michio Kaku

Disinformation is a component of any propaganda. The highly paid technocrats and advocates of “peaceful uses of the atom” increasingly use disinformation to repress and control public protest against nuclear pollution and environmental injustice.

As a former employee of two US national nuclear labs, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Los Alamos National Laboratory, and after having seen what I have seen, NO, I am NOT an advocate of nuclear power. Unfortunately, most so-called experts on these issues talk in front of a blackboard, but that is not what nuclear materials are; they are not theory and calculations on paper, as most academics around the world seem to think, but destructive beasts that kill people without any discrimination. Let them go and get dressed like astronauts with breathing masks, and experience nuclear accidents, and be contaminated first hand, and see after that if they will still favor nuclear energy.

Breaking the Silence.

This article was inspired by the documentary video, Breaking the Silence Truth and Lies in the War on Terror. It ;moved me deeply. It brought up my outrage, my sadness, my helplessness, my love, my hope, my passion — all of which I share with you below.

Whether you watch the video (below) or not, the article will still make sense to you. It’s not an easy watch, but well worth the while.

As John Pilger says in the introduction, “This film is about the rise and rise of rapacious imperial power and a terrorism that never speaks its name, because it is our terrorism.”

We are all disgusted with videos like this that reveal what might be closer to the truth of what American and other first-world foreign policy is really about. The effects on people’s lives and on the Earth itself are devastating, and frankly, almost unspeakable. What is done to people, to animals, and to this gorgeous planet is insane. While we all have hatred, violent, and evil tendencies, for most of us, it’s not as big a part of our agenda as it for elite imperialists.

God said:

You have the opportunity of life on Earth. It is a gift I give to you. This life I give to you is not a penance. It is an opportunity. It is an opportunity of all possibilities. It is not to be taken for granted. This gift of life is not given to you to be an imposed sentence. Have you somewhere along the line had the idea that you are in servitude to a difficult life?

How different your life would be if you will carry the idea that life is a blessing. Keep this idea close to you, and you will reap benefits. For one thing, you will receive life differently. You will become a boon to your life and exhilarated about it.

Life in the world is a treasure. Life is to your advantage. Have respect for your God-given life. Disregard what you see as impediments. Your purpose here on Earth is not to grumble at its disparities. True, life on Earth may not always be your cup of tea. You may see life as bitter. Dear ones, drink the Goblet of Your Life as a champion downs his delicious protein drink. You are not meant to deny yourself.

I cast you as a leader. Show the way to yourself, and you will show the way to others. You were never intended to be downtrodden. When life doesn’t give you what you want, shrug your shoulders if you must, and then lightly keep going toward the sun. You cannot dispute that the sun also shines. Bask in it. Bask in the sun. Drink the rain, and bask in the sun.

Move through the hay fields.

Lalita Prasida Sripada Srisai is a 13-year-old genius. She’s only in 9th grade, attending DPS Damanjodi, a school in a small town in the Koraput district in the Indian state of Odisha.

She won the ‘Community Impact Award’ at the Google Science Fair in California for her incredible invention. She won in the 13 to 15 year old age group and received 10,000 USD as her prize. She also has the opportunity to be supported by Google to help build her project.

Lalita created a low cost bio-absorbent based water purifier. How does it work? Surprisingly, it uses corn cobs to purify the water!

Corn cobs are incredibly absorbent, making them perfect for collecting contaminants like salts, detergents, different floating particles, coloured dyes, and even some heavy metals.
