You are stupid
We know that you’re stupid. Of course, you would never admit that to yourself. You’re in denial, just like all the other people.
But we have spent a lot of money on market research, we have observed you and all the others for some time now – and we know with certainty:
You are all stupid.
Therefore, we tell you that nuclear power is an environmentally friendly form of energy.
Even though a safe repository for high-level radioactive waste has yet to be found.
Therefore, we assure you that nuclear power plants operate reliably.
Even if half the reactors in Germany have just been shut down due to safety concerns.
Therefore, we preach parsimony and assert that nuclear power is very economical.
Even if we currently reap billions of subsidies that are paid for by your taxes.
Therefore, we act as if the civilian use of nuclear power has no military background, even when supposedly “civilian” nuclear power plants, such as the reactor in Chernobyl, allow for the production of weapons-grade plutonium.
Even though “civil” uranium enrichment facilities like the one in Gronau, Germany, are also capable of delivering the material for a bomb.
Lucky that you are so stupid. If you were smart, you and all the others, we would have a serious problem. For your stupidity is our business.
Let’s not sell up for stupid

US Air Force splits space, missile career field for officers
“…This change will allow the Air Force to further strengthen the nuclear enterprise,…”
“…All new Air Force officer accessions headed for careers in the former “Space and Missile Operations” AFSC will be classified as either a “Space Operations” (AFSC 13S) officer or “Nuclear and Missile Operations” (AFSC 13N) officer….”
In the wake of this week’s cancellation of the ‘Back to the Moon’ Constellation Program by US President Obama, kit company Fantastic Plastic’s 1:288 scale model of the 1960s-era Project Orion nuclear spacecraft is particularly interesting. Think of a 4000-tonne spacecraft propelled not by chemical rockets, but by massive pulse waves from a string of nuclear bombs blasting away behind the stern. Yes, it was a serious proposal that could have enabled a trip to Pluto and back in less than a year.

The Air Force has split the space and missile career field in an effort to ensure more focused development for officers performing these critical missions in increasingly complex operational environments, Air Force officials announced today.
Under the old construct, more than 50 percent of space-coded company grade officers’ development time was spent as a missileer, said Col. Joseph Prue, career field manager for space operations officers.
“Space and Missile Operations have become more and more technical in application and execution–each in their own unique ways,” said Prue. “This split will enable each career field to continue cultivating technical expertise via separate, yet equally important, avenues in order to be more effective and efficient in meeting current and future AF needs.”
This change will allow the Air Force to further strengthen the nuclear enterprise, said Col. Zannis Pappas, the new career field manager for “Nuclear and Missile Operations,” or AFSC 13N.
U.S. expansion in Russian Arctic
ExxonMobil will help Rosneft explore another seven of the most prospective hydrocarbon structures in the Russian Arctic.

The U.S. company will be responsible for the mapping and exploration of seven more fields in the Kara Sea, Chukchi Sea and Laptev Sea, a press release from Rosneft informs. The new fields, which cover as much as 600,000 square kilometers of waters, will be included in a joint venture between the two companies.
As previously reported, Rosneft and ExxonMobil in late August 2011 signed a comprehensive cooperation agreement in the Russian Arctic, which amongst other includes the development of the three East Prinovozemelsky license blocks in the Kara Sea, an area covering 126,000 square kilometers. A joint venture was established to follow up the projects.
The two companies now have a total of about 720,000 square km of waters in their joint Arctic field portfolio. According to Rosneft, the licenses include the most promising, and at the same time, the least explored, areas on the Russian continental shelf.
The additional agreement with ExxonMobil comes as Rosneft gets the green light from the government for the acquisition of another 12 Arctic licenses. At the same time, the company has committed itself to step up exploration of its Arctic fields. According to the agreements, it will be ExxonMobil, which is responsible for all issues related to seismic mapping and exploration at the blocks.
With the asborption of the TNK-BP and the many new Arctic fields, Rosneft is increasingly overstretched and in major need of assistance from foreign partners. In the Arctic, the company has concluded agreements also with Eni and Statoil.
“With the signing of these unprecedented agreements, the partnership between Rosneft and ExxonMobil is entering a new level”, Rosneft President Igor Sechin said at Wednesday’s signing ceremony in Moscow. From before, the two companies have fifteen years of cooperation at the Sakhalin-1 project.

Fukushima radiation threatens to wreak woodland havoc
For Yuji Hoshino, mushrooms were a way of life. The 50-year-old farmer grew up watching his father raise shiitake mushrooms on their land at the foot of the mountains in Sanno, southern Tochigi Prefecture. […]
Because of fallout from three reactor meltdowns there, he has not sold a single shiitake since last May […]
Hoshino’s farm is about 180 km from the destroyed reactors.
[…] he shut down the family store last May and began disposing of 30,000 logs exposed to radioactive rain. […]
“Everything I’ve done up till now, it’s all become no good. I can’t collect wild vegetables and I can’t sell my mushrooms. There are problems with the fish in the rivers and I have to worry about contamination levels in the wild game, too. That’s what makes me the most angry,” he said. […]

Assange costs UK police £2.9m to watch
Sat Feb 16, 2013 6:29AM GMT
Press TV
Assange has been holed out in the embassy and has secured political asylum from Ecuador after he lost a legal battle on June 19 against extradition to Sweden where he is wanted for questioning over sexual abuse allegations.
The Scotland Yard said they have paid £2.3 million to police stationed outside the embassy building on duty and another £600,000 to officers deployed overtime.
The revelations of the costs of keeping the Ecuadorian embassy under 24-hour watch have also drawn reactions from the embassy officials.
“The Ecuadoran government is concerned by the significant cost to the taxpayers of London of policing the embassy,” a spokesman said.
“However, we believe this expenditure could be avoided if the UK government would provide the undertakings that the Ecuadoran government has sought that there will be no onward extradition of Julian Assange to the United States,” the spokesman added.
The embassy further stressed they will continue to “protect Julian Assange’s human rights” until they obtain the assurance from the British government.

Date: Feb. 13, 2013
The Tenth Report of Fukushima Prefecture Health Management Survey was released on February 13, 2013. […]
The results compiled up to January 21, 2013 revealed that 41,947 (44.2%) of 94,975 children had thyroid ultrasound abnormalities. Together with 38,114 children (13,645 or 35.8% had thyroid ultrasound abnormalities) tested in the last half of Fiscal Year Heisei 23 (FYH23) from October 2011 through March 2012, a total of 55,592 (41.8%) of 133,089 Fukushima children have been found to have ultrasound abnormalities.
The Fukushima Prefecture Health Management Survey Planning Committee revealed that 10 of 186 eligible for the secondary examination from FYH23 were suspected of having thyroid cancer as a result of the examination. They reported that three of them were confirmed to have papillary carcinoma of thyroid gland and already had surgery. The remaining seven have 80% chance of having cancer based on their biopsy results. […]
The percentage of abnormalities from FYH24 at 44.2% is higher than previous results of 42.7% and 43.1%, and the overall abnormality rate, for FYH23 and FYH24 combined, of 41.8% is higher than the last result of 40%. The proportion of children with nodules equal to and larger than 5.1 mm and any size cysts have increased. […]

Radioactive liquid leaking from Hanford nuclear waste tank
Hanford Nuclear Tank in Wash. Is Leaking Liquids
http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/tank-hanford-nuclear-site-wash-leaking-18515755
By SHANNON DININNY and MIKE BAKER Associated Press
OLYMPIA, Wash. February 16, 2013 A waste tank is leaking
radioactive liquids at the nation’s most contaminated nuclear site,
raising new concerns about delays and budget overruns in a plan to
treat material at the federal Hanford site.
The U.S. Department of Energy said Friday that liquid levels are
decreasing in one of 177 underground tanks at the nuclear reservation.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said the tank is leaking liquids in the
range of 150 to 300 gallons annually. Continue reading
Low level radiation and bone cancer
Study: Low radiation levels in atomic bomb survivors could lead to soft-tissue sarcomahttp://www.healio.com/orthopedics/oncology/news/online/%7BF99DF823-6823-4E35-B0A7-53720A8B6195%7D/Study-Low-radiation-levels-in-atomic-bomb-survivors-could-lead-to-soft-tissue-sarcoma Samartzis D. J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2013. February 15, 2013 New results from the prospective, longitudinal Life Span Study of Japanese atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki show that low levels of exposure to ionizing radiation may result in soft-tissue sarcoma, and 1 Gy doses nearly doubled the survivors’ sarcoma risk.
“Our study attempts to raise awareness that even moderate levels of ionizing radiation exposure—from medical imaging, radiation therapy, and environmental exposure—can lead to the development of soft-tissue sarcomas,” orthopedic surgeon Dino Samartzis, DSc, MSc, and colleagues wrote in the study.Among 80,180 survivors they analyzed, researchers identified 104 soft-tissue sarcomas, with 4.1 cases observed every 100,000 person-years. The survivors were analyzed against a control group with <0.005 Gy average radiation exposure. Most survivors with sarcoma were diagnosed with leiomyosarcomas (37 cases) or malignant fibrous histiocytomas (11 cases).
The survivors were aged 26.8 years, mean, at the time of the bombings and were diagnosed at age 63.6 years mean, with the majority of cases seen in the uterus or stomach. Though 27 sarcoma cases were confirmed at autopsy and two cases by death certificate, the difference in radiation exposure for these individuals and those diagnosed while still living were not significant.

Australian Mossad agent’s death prevented him for whistleblowing about Israel’s secrets
Mossad agent known as prisoner X linked to killing of Hamas leader: Report http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2013/02/15/289034/prisoner-x-linked-to-hamas-chief-murder/ 15 Feb 13, The Australian-Israeli ‘Mossad agent’ who has become known as ‘Prisoner X’ may have been linked to the assassination of a Hamas commander in Dubai in 2010, the same year he was found dead in a maximum security jail near Tel Aviv, a report says.
According to a report by the New York Times quoting the Kuwaiti daily Al Jarida on Thursday, Ben Zygier, identified as Prisoner X, was among the 26 suspects in a murder plot in which Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, a Hamas official, was tracked and killed in his hotel room hours after his arrival in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, in January 2010.
The assassins had reportedly used fake passports from Australia, Britain, Ireland, Germany and France, among other countries.
The report added that ‘Prisoner X’, who apparently spent a decade working for Mossad, had provided the officials in Dubai with “names and pictures and accurate details” in exchange for protection.
However, the Israeli regime kidnapped him from his hideout and jailed him over treason nearly a month after the operation over the speculation that he had been on the verge of exposing Tel Aviv’s secrets about the passports.
Australian media also quoted a security official familiar with the case as saying that Zygier “may well have been about to blow the whistle, but he never got the chance.” Continue reading
Secret funding supplied to USA anti-wind power front groups
Media campaign against windfarms funded by anonymous conservatives http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2013/feb/15/media-campaign-windfarms-conservatives/print Suzanne Goldenberg, US environment correspondent guardian.co.uk, 15 February 2013
Secretive funding network channelled millions to stop state governments moving towards renewable energy Conservatives used a pair of secretive trusts to fund a media campaign against windfarms and solar projects, and to block state agencies from planning for future sea-level rise, the Guardian has learned.
The trusts, Donors Trust and Donors Capital Fund, served as the bankers of the conservative movement over the past decade. Promising anonymity to their conservative billionaire patrons, the trusts between them channelled nearly $120m to contrarian thinktanks and activists, wrecking the chances of getting Congress to act on climate change.
Now the Guardian can reveal the latest project of the secretive funding network: a campaign to stop state governments moving towards renewable energy.
The campaign against wind and solar power was led by a relatively new entity, theFranklin Centre for Government and Public Integrity. The Franklin Centre did not exist before 2009, but it has quickly become a protege of Donors Trust. Continue reading
