    UPDATE: Japan to Announce Fukushima Water Release Into Sea Soon

The Japanese government has decided to dispose of massive amounts of treated but still radioactive water stored in tanks at the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant by releasing it into the Pacific Ocean, local media say, a conclusion widely expected but delayed for years amid protests and safety concerns.

Japan’s environmental Minister calls for closing down all nuclear reactors to prevent another disaster like Fukushima.

“We will be doomed if we allow another nuclear accident to occur.” - Shinjiro Koizumi

Japan’s new environmental minister, Shinjiro Koizumi, called Wednesday for permanently shutting down the nation’s nuclear reactors to prevent a repeat of the 2011 Fukushima disaster, comments that came just a day after Koizumi’s predecessor recommended dumping more than one million tons of radioactive wastewater from the power plant into the Pacific Ocean.

Russia is sending a nuclear reactor to the Arctic. Russia just had a serious nuclear explosion. Five nuclear scientists died.

I do not think we need any country to build more nuclear reactors. We need to abandon them. We need to shut down existing reactors and build no more. 

The Music and the Scientist are here to tell you why we must do that. I put the Science first.

"Proponents of nuclear power often bill the option as a panacea to the impending climate crisis, arguing that it is a clean alternative to a carbon-reliant industry. Kate Brown, professor of science, technology and society at MIT specializing in environmental and nuclear history, says the full story is far more complex. "The thing that keeps me up at night is the health effects," she says. Brown, who has spent five years researching the fallout and lasting repercussions of the nuclear accident at Chernobyl, adds that "to this day when people tell you we have no evidence of low-dose exposures cause harm to human health, that is because that big study was never done." - Democracy Now. 

A Tribute to Pete Seeger (1919-2014)

"Pete Seeger was a giant of our time. Growing up in a musical family, he had a long and productive career as a folk song leader and social activist. His father was the musicologist Charles Seeger, and his mother Constance was a classical violinist. At one point during his youth, Seeger and his brothers traveled extensively with their parents, entertaining communities throughout the countryside. When he was sixteen, he accompanied his father to Bascom Lamar Lunsford’s folk festival in Asheville, North Carolina. It is there that he first encountered the banjo and fell in love with it." - Folkways

I am feeling kind of challenged in my HATE THE COPS stance. Here is why and here below is a video of what an Iraq Veteran thinks about peaceful protesters and the role of the Police - notice the capitalization and the respectful address. I remembered this video from Occupy Manhattan.

Standing Rock, North Dakota — Widespread outrage over both the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline and violent police crackdowns rages on. That outrage is spreading even to police agencies now returning from deployment to the reservation. Two departments have already refused to return, citing personal and public objections. As if that wasn’t enough, an army of sympathizers is re-purposing social media to combat police efforts in Standing Rock. Read more...

Monsters by Andrea Dietrich

Monsters live in houses, like you and I. 

They eat and sleep and go to work each day. 

They laugh and they feel pain.
Perhaps they cry!

They have different games they like to play.
They need to have control.
Therefore, most seek a victim
who is young or not so strong.

They think they are almighty,
but their mind is weak. 

Depraved, they pay no heed to right or wrong. 

They may seem crude, but some of them are slick. The ones with brains play too well at their game.

All monsters love what normal folks find sick. 

They brutalize and rape, and feel no shame. Beware! One could be living on your street or be that charming guy you’ve chanced to meet!

Third Leading Cause of Death and Misery is Medical Mistakes

I am going to share some of Mike Evans writing today about a mutual concern.

I have been putting the task off because it means ferreting around in the feelings I had when I fell in my garden and got badly hurt. I experience ptsd when I go into my garden.

I am still going to grueling physical therapy twice a week. So trauma is still very fresh in my mind. I could not remember where I put whatever crap I wrote about falling and not receiving proper medical treatment. I am still feeling the results of concussion.

As I find stuff, I will add to this essayette. So Mike and you, Cher Reader, can read them. I might have put it under the label Torture. 

So this is what Mike Evans wrote. He spoke to my condition. You can contact Mike Evans directly with any feedback at:

Philadelphia doctors accused of selling $5M in pills (6abc.com)

Editorial page

commentary by @6abcmember:disqus

posted Fri May 13th 2016

Sorry Jim. But the "ugly truth" and far greater crime behind this story is how the DEA's forcing our nation's doctors (thru intimidation and outright threats) to stop writing prescriptions for painkillers of any kind regardless of a patient's health circumstances and genuine medical need for them.

The untold truth is millions of patients every day are being given no alternative but to purchase whatever they can get off the black market or continue suffering in constant chronic pain. Isn't that a wonderful choice for lifelong decent law-abiding citizens to be forced into having to make?

Why don't you do some genuine investigative research and reporting into that unspoken part of this story rather than simply towing the all too familiar self-aggrandizing government line? "Oh, look at the wonderful deed we just accomplished today. Everyone paste a gold star upon our forehead and pat us on the back for a job well done!"

Our nation's DEA has turned into yet another rogue Draconian government agency that's become totally out of control and now biting the very hands which feed it. Please make a sincere effort to report the hidden truth behind this greatest portion of the overall story rather than parrot the latest stream of Orwellian newspeak oozing from the government pipeline.

The black market for painkillers exists solely because a genuine medical need for them exists. The DEA has artificially and intentionally created that situation to justify its own existence and self-perpetuation. Get off the backs of our medical professionals and let them do their jobs!

The DEA is wholly unqualified to make any such medical or judgement calls thus has no business inserting themselves into our lives as if they did. What PhD's do they hold ensuring they're the least bit qualified to make any medical decisions and judgement calls which profoundly affect our daily lives and physical well being? None, nada, zip!

Get in a serious car accident where you break several ribs and are struggling literally every passing second in agonizing pain with each breath you take as your rib cage expands and contracts worsening the already unbearable pain.

We'll see what you think about the need for any serious kick butt painkillers then. I've been thru that very scenario not just once but twice during the past decade so fully understand their purpose and need.

I've also been in a few car accidents and serious winter season falls which injured my spine and neck. Try sitting at your desk in front of a TV camera doing your job at the 6ABC studios under those difficult circumstances.

An Rx grade analgesic becomes absolutely necessary to reduce the pain level just sufficiently enough to make it thru your workday. I've also been thru that scenario well over a dozen times during the past 59 years. You'll be stunned to discover just how dramatically slower clocks run when under such physical duress.

Not many of us are as fortunate nor well off as you benefit and salary wise where we might have the luxury of taking a day or two off under such difficult circumstances. Many can't afford to take even a single day off without being unable to pay our grocery and other monthly bills.

Without the proper level of pain medication (such as Morphine) when medically necessary given severe injury or trauma a patient will quickly go into shock and die before anything can be done to reverse the situation.

Anyone who's ever served on the battlefield has witnessed and knows this cold hard reality. In fact, it's how most everyone will eventually die. The body lapses into a state of shock for one reason or another and completely shuts down organ by organ like a chain of dominoes in very short order.

Respectfully, Mike Adams

The struggle continues. Now do not let that word "struggle" intimidate you. If you fear and loathe Congress, there is a painless way to strike a blow for truth, justice and the American Way. 

You do not have to camp out with Occupy and sleep on the ground to get your message out. I am a Holiday Inn kind of girl myself. You can do your part and never have take off your pink marabou slippers or put down your martini.

Drunk Dial Congress!

SexPig City - with Update 1

Once you have spent time in SexPig City as I have, the real world never looks quite the same again. You develop a kind of sexpig radar. I raved away about Tony Baloney and the video of Baloney macing women for shitz and giggles here.

http://plumstchili.blogspot.com/2011/09/off-pigs.html

And I was starting to feel that maybe I overreacted a wee bit. Then I saw this video and I read this excellent diary by Horace Boothroyd III, a citizen journalist and an OWS hero. In the diary's comments, Horace and others comment on how often those beaten by the police are women. A comment was made that cops are cowards. Some cops may indeed be cowards. But I think an equally primal need is being satisfied.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/11/09/1034950/-UPDATE:Occupy-Cal-Officer-Looks-for-Cameras-and-Then-Begins-Beating-With-Nightstick

Cowardice has nothing to do with it. The Man has a woody and he is getting it off. Same as Tony Baloney.

And I think a euphonious name for this paraphilia (sexual perversion or fetish) needs to be coined. A thing may exist but be invisible until named. I dub this perversion peculiar to The Man "woodywhacking." As in: "Man, I woodywhacked that peace sign woman so good I came in my dark blue pants."

Update 1.

NO! I am not psychic. Just well acquainted with SexPigs. Now The Man is stripping women naked for shytz and giggles.

There were three people dressed in tents. Two were men and one was a woman. It was the woman they chose to disrobe. They woodywhacked her so good.  So how long is immunity from sexual assault going to be a perk of the job?

Off the Pigs !!! with Update 1 and 2 and 3 and 4

I never thought I would drag the sentence above out of the 60s and 70s and into the present. I am a peaceful Quaker for years now. I am shocked to find myself thinking it. I am so angry. Some history:

Seems like shocking rhetoric, does it not?

 Well, here is some shocking present day mayhem brought to us by Mayor Bloomberg and the Boys in Blue below.

Just  look at the video above. What other response can you have to the NYC PigForce penning peaceful female protesters behind a barrier and Maceing them. Where was the provocation and necessity, Pigs? How many of you Pig Perverts came in your pants when the women were screaming and crawling?

Hey, Mayor Bloomberg, do you stand for this perverted "justice?" Are you not a Jew? Why then would you sponsor gestapo tactics in a police force? Or did you get a copy of the tape to view and whack off with back at Gracie Mansion? Men do not need their penises to rape women. When getting your peener out is inappropriate, you can always use an object and men do that with anything at hand: a stick, a knife, a can of mace.

Let us for once tell it like it is. A goodly number of Philly cops and cops around the country are using steroids and addicted to them and they do not get drug tested. Cops will lie at the request of their superiors or to cover their own crimes without turning a hair. Most cops are dumb as stumps and understand the law they are "enforcing" not at all. These paragons feel free to attack innocent women because Bloomberg gave them permission. Say what?

You may say "How dare you say such a thing?" to me. I have evidence. Try reading this blog for a couple of weeks and then tell me:

http://www.injusticeeverywhere.com/

How safe do you feel? Still have respect for the police?

Update One:

Witness accounts and extensive information on who maced the innocent women, and what YOU can do about it, and a picture of Tony Baloney the perpetrator of the cowardly attack, can be found at this site. Let us do something more sensible than shout Off the Pigs. While it may be satisfying, it is only self indulgent. Let us take action.


http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/09/27/1020542/-ACTION-PROPOSAL:-No-Phoney-Baloney-–-Suspend-Tony-Bologna-NOW?via=stream

Update Two:

Citizen Journalists are on this like white on rice. Tony Baloney maced his own. More eyewitness testimony. The cops were setting the protestors up to look like criminals. It is just like what they did at the Vietnam protests.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/09/27/1020600/-Union-Square-Pepper-Spray-Full-Story-Officer-to-Balogna:-Thats-Not-Procedure!-You-F!ng-Maced-Us!?via=siderec

Update Three:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/09/29/1021296/-Occupy-Wall-Street:-NYPD,-Manhattan-DA,-to-investigate-use-of-pepper-spray-on-demonstrators?via=siderec

What is to "investigate." We have film of the crime and the criminal in action.  Tony Baloney needs to be fired and charged with assault. I pray the deaf woman who was victimized files a civil suit too.

I will not argue with due process. But it is clear this event is being handled with obfuscation from the starting gate. "Investigate" leaves the impression there is some doubt as to what happened.

There is no doubt. Tony Baloney assaulted several women (and others) using his can of mace as a penis. He clearly physically and emotionally enjoyed the torture of helpless women. Have you noticed that all the protesters assaulted were at some kind of physical disadvantage when attacked. They were women and men burdened by cameras.

He is a criminal and a sexual pervert. I am sure this behavior is not at all new. So let's tell it like it is:

New York City and its Mayor are happy to keep sexually perverted criminal sadists employed, pay them a large salary and defend them when they are caught. NYC does not need to defend itself against foreign terrorists so much. They create and nurture their own terrorists. They need to start cleaning up their act bigtime.

Update Four:
Love and Babies happen in SexPig City too; and Tony Baloney will not be supported by the NYC Police in court. Tony Baloney is being sued by his victims. Question: Why has the NYC PoPo failed to arrest Baloney for assault?
