In the days following the meltdowns at TEPCO's Fukushima Dai'ichi nuclear plant, Co-Director of the Carnegie Endowment's Nuclear Policy Program, James Acton was all over the corporate media repeating the falsehood that very little radiation had been released at Three Mile Island. Journalist Harvey Wasserman sets the record straight.

Special thanks to EON3 for the recording of Harvey Wasserman at his talk on 3.11.2014:

"Licensing a nuclear power plant is in my view, licensing random premeditated murder. First of all, when you license a plant, you know what you're doing--so it's premeditated. You can't say, "I didn't know." Second, the evidence on radiation-producing cancer is beyond doubt... It is not a question any more: radiation produces cancer, and the evidence is good all the way down to the lowest doses."

$Warning! Killer Chemicals on the Loose! Truman awardee Dr. Stephen Frantz introduced by Progressive Democrats of the Santa Monica Mountains President Dorothy Reik at the December 5, 2015 Democratic Party of the San Fernando Valley annual Truman Awards luncheon. Read the LA Progressive article Glyphosate…Misery in a Bottle! by Dr. Stephen Frantz at this link: https://www.laprogressive.com/glyphosate/ Because of time constraints Dr. Frantz was not allowed to read his prepared remarks, but you can read them here: Thank you for this award…I sincerely appreciate your recognition of my fellow recipients and me. As a progressive Democrat and a pathobiologist, I am concerned about a lot of environmental health craziness that pervades our society and government — lackluster responses to climate change, fracking, nuclear power, offshore oil, the TPP…and the very existence of the Koch brothers drives me bonkers… As some of you are aware, my current focus is glyphosate (aka Roundup), the most widely used herbicide in the world, and one of the most egregious toxic substances ever created. Glyphosate contaminates our bodies, mothers’ breast milk, our kids, pets, the food chain, and the environment. Its formulations are responsible for a large variety of cancers and organ failures in humans and other animals. It plays a significant role in autism. It disorients and kills honeybees that are so necessary for pollination in CA agriculture. It has decimated Monarch butterfly populations. It even destroys soil microbiota, including the fungal mycelial mats that sequester so much carbon in our forests. That said, if it is wrong to use a product that causes such widespread morbidity and mortality, why is it allowed? Isn’t it also wrong to make money from such products? Hence, I want to encourage that we move towards banning glyphosate (and related products) in CA; and divest our financial resources (e.g., pension funds) from industries that produce such materials. Why CA? Because it’s the largest economy of the United States; it’s the 7th largest GDP in the world! What’s done here reverberates throughout the country…and beyond. CA needs to lead in being responsible for de-toxifying people, animals, and the environment. Politics be damned, this is what needs to be done for us to survive, so let’s get on with it. As a colleague at MIT, Dr. Stephanie Seneff, told me yesterday, “The chemical companies are making a killing…killing us!” Are our State and county legislators and administrators listening? Thank you. ````` [end remarks by Dr. Stephen Frantz] Dr. Stephen Frantz is running to be a listener representative on the KPFK fm local station board.
