Media ignoring the catastrophic global danger of the nuclear industry

How the nuclear industry may unintentionally obliterate humankind (NaturalNews) May 20, 2014 by: J. D. Heyes In modern times, the nuclear disaster at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi plant in March 2011 has been one of the most under-reported of cataclysmic events, and some critical analyses have concluded that coverage likely would have been more complete had the accident occurred in a country not allied with the United States.

That said, notes Andrew McKillop at 21st Century Wire, we might as well “write off” most of the American (and Japanese) media, as well as politicians from both nations, regarding the dangers that the accident truly poses to Mankind. “For reasons associated with the nuclear lobby and its corporate machine, their tongues are tied on the issue,” he writes.

The ‘alternative media’ keeping an eye on Fukushima developments

Continuing his criticism, McKillop jabbed further:

More silence, a few new theories and a couple of less than convincing assurances like, “It’s all under control, the humming birds and the badgers have returned to the exclusion zone and there’s a lot of very affordable property now, lost of economic opportunity in Fukushima”, (if you had any doubt of how spineless and redundant our leadership would be in the event of a true humanitarian crisis, this should be your ‘eureka’ moment). The best they could manage is release a new Godzilla film production — and that’s about as close as you’ll get to an admission from the global elite’s media machine.

Enter the “alternative media,” which no doubt includes his publication as well as Natural News. But these days, “alternative” is no longer synonymous with “irresponsible” or “illegitimate.” Still, noted McKillop, “there is even a paralysis beginning to set in” with many of these outlets as well, “a general malaise afflicting even those left with integrity enough to comment or honestly report on the crisis” (you won’t get that here at NN, however).

For his part, McKillop sees the nuclear issue overall as some Darwinian self-destruction plan implemented by Man to ensure the end of the world. Why else, he argues, would so large a catastrophe be so underwhelming and unimportant?

“Incredibly, many politicians, economists and even hard-core environmental priests, still love nuclear power. It’s a strange kind of love, or a Strangelove to be precise,” he writes.

We seem to have evolved to deal with the threat’

Citing The Economist magazine, which he describes as “an elite talking shop” publication, McKillop says observations made in a recent edition regarding previous nuclear disaster at Chernobyl are particularly noteworthy because they undermine the rosy picture being painted by Japanese and U.S. officials regarding environmental conditions surrounding Fukushima:….McKillop labeled such proclamations as “paid-for junk science” that has become “weaponized” and now poses a direct threat to humans……http://www.naturalnews.com/045213_nuclear_industry_humankind_extinction.html
