Fukushima and The New York Times

"There is considerable disagreement among scientists over whether such catastrophes are possible. But some argue that whether the chances are small or large, changes should be made quickly because of the magnitude of the potential calamity." Fu.kushima is cause for concern and deserves some coverage. You don't say!

Thrive

This film was released on April 12, 2012. Thrive means to prosper. Let's do that! That's 'the other story' my beloved sister sent me yesterday. Quite a story isn't it. So many diverse subjects, with examples and illustrations tied into one logical conclusion. It really makes sense. And the fact that it is being released on the web makes me smile and feel wonderfully optimistic. I'm sure you'll love it too. Oh I know, it's long. Two hours and twelve minutes. Make yourself episodes if you don't feel like watching it in a row. I couldn't stop watching. I'm glad to share it with you.

MAMA HOPE and other subjects.

Mama Hope is a non-profit organization focused on building self-sufficient communities in Sub-Saharan Africa. Mama Hope partners with Community Based Organizations and invests in high impact, cost effective projects, that meet their fundamental needs. Here is their channel.http://www.youtube.com/user/MamaHope Watch the first video and tell me those guys don't rock. The whole world rocks actually. You know that don't you? Enjoy!! I've just discovered it thanks to Christiane Amanpour on CNN. She is a very famous journalist and interesting personality. She was harshly criticized at the time of the Bosnian war for ... telling the truth.Read the chapter 'Bosnian War reporting'here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christiane_Amanpour if you're interested. But...,as I was about to write: But... to go back to the subject, my word-curious mind found that: let's get back to the subject (at hand)/topic Or perhaps 'let's get back to the matter in hand' or 'point' (?) There is an old expression my aunt used to use - she was born in the North of England in 1906 or so. 'To return to our muttons' - she said it when she felt we had left the point - she used it just like that, with quasi-imperative force. Oh the web.Speaking of network thinking... It took me from my twitter account to this and to my sister but that's another story. Enjoy Mama Hope! (Yet don't forget Fu...kushima http://www.youtube.com/user/MamaHope

Fukushima screaming for itself

Only 223 views as I write this. And counting. You have to watch this. This video is Tepco Cam 2012.05.01 05:00-06:00 Japanese Time. When will MSM, mainstream media,cover the issue and do so transparently? WE CARE! By the way, some think TEPCO's videos are probably being edited.

Will Sibel Edmonds book be released?

She has written http://www.classifiedwoman.com/ Listen carefully to what she says in this trailer:


Just so you know and then remember: The US constitution has amendments. The first ten amendments are called the bill of rights. They were voted in March 1789 and ratified in 1791. The first amendment goes as follows:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The last minute is absolutely essential. Indeed, when you build a nuclear power plant, you create problems for future generations.
