Message from Noam Chomsky about support to the Fukushima Evacuate Children Lawsuit

On 2012/01/12, at 11:50, Noam Chomsky wrote:

It is a privilege to be able to lend personal support to the Fukushima Evacuate Children Lawsuit.
There is no better measure of the moral health of a society than how it treats the most vulnerable people within it, and none or more vulnerable, or more precious, than children who are the victims of unconscionable actions.
For Japan, and for all of us, this is a test that we must not fail.

The Fukushima children’s lives are in danger!

Sign our petition for a collective evacuation of the children to protect them from radiation released after the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster

China issues nuclear safety blueprint, eyes $13 billion investment

“The current [nuclear] safety situation isn’t optimistic,” the report
said.
 
“Its official nuclear capacity target for 2020 for now is 40 GW, less than 5
percent of its current total installed capacity, but enough to power Spain.”

By 

(Reuters) – China will have
to spend around 80 billion yuan ($12.74 billion) by 2015 to upgrade the security
of its nuclear facilities and radioactive contamination control to international
standards, a report issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection
said.

China, which has an ambitious plan to build as many as 100 reactors over the
next two decades, imposed a ban on approving new nuclear power plants after
Japan’s nuclear crisis in March 2011 and ordered nationwide safety checks on its
41 plants.

The report, which laid out a road map for China’s nuclear safety to reach
international standards by 2020, suggested the government was moving closer to
restarting the approval process for reactor expansion.

It evaluated safety in China’s nuclear-power industry and recommended phasing
out older nuclear reactors sooner, sharing and improving access to information,
enhancing the research and development of nuclear safety and improving the
handling of radioactive waste.

Australia Nuclear agency boss accused of being “…a lying piece of shit.”

”You’ve fabricated the findings, covered up safety incidents … you guys covered it over. You’re a lying piece of shit.”

By Bianca Hall

Oct. 18, 2012, 3 a.m.

THE head of Australia’s nuclear agency briefly broke down at a dramatic Senate estimates hearing yesterday, after an angry whistleblower accused him of covering up a serious incident in which workers were splashed with radioactive material.

Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation chief executive Adrian Paterson was comforted by Senators and staff, and refused to leave the room until the man had left the building.

Listening to Mr Paterson give evidence was former ANSTO worker and whistleblower David Reid, who worked at the facility for almost 30 years, including years as his colleagues’ occupational health and safety representative.”You’re a liar,” Mr Reid growled when Mr Paterson finished telling the inquiry he did not believe the incident had occurred.

”You’ve fabricated the findings, covered up safety incidents … you guys covered it over. You’re a lying piece of shit.”

Mr Reid later told The Age he had been sacked after bringing claims of the incident to management. ”It’s trashed my life; I’ve just been obsessed with it. My marriage fell apart, and I lost my house and I’m living in a caravan. But I can’t let it go.”

New Nobel Prize winner bangs the drums of war! -Tarpley _Press tv banned!

“We also have followed, in quite a bit of detail back in July, around the 15th or the 20th of July this year when NATO attempted to overthrow the government of Syria with a kind of shock and awe, a series of converging deployments; one of the things that they did was to purge the pro-Assad Syrian state media off of ArabSat and NileSat and insert CIA programming and so forth.”

 

EU banning of Press TV shows opinion dictatorship: Analyst

The European satellite provider Eutelsat SA has pulled the plug on several satellite channels and radio stations broadcasting from Iran.

The company has ordered media services company, Arqiva, to take the Iranian satellite channels off one of its Hot Bird frequencies. 

The Iranian channels being taken off the air include Press TV, al-Alam, Jam-e-Jam 1 and 2, Sahar 1 and 2, Islamic Republic of Iran News Network, Quran TV, and the Arabic-language al-Kawthar. 

The illegal ban will also affect the satellite broadcast of several Iranian radio stations. 

Meanwhile many Press TV viewers have condemned as illegal and hypocritical the ban imposed by the European officials on the broadcast of several Iranian satellite channels, saying that the move throws into question the West’s freedom of speech claims. 

Press TV has conducted an interview with Author and Historian Webster Griffin Tarpley from Washington to shed more light on the issue at hand. 

He is joined by two additional guests: Robert Oulds, director of the Bruges Group, from Londonand Gordon Duff, the senior editor of Veterans Today from Ohio 

What follows is an approximate transcription of the interview.
