Influential Drudge Report notes too that technology cannot control nature's awesome power --"too clever for technology"
April 29, 2009 --The famous and influential Drudge Report makes a similar analogy with its headline: swine flu... microbe too clever for technology...
April 28, 2009 --Governments imposes curfew on Mexico City, consider suspension of flights to Mexico, closing schools in USA... Technology and government has NO fail-safe ability to control the power and dangers of nuclear energy.

Police bias in stopping door-to-door distribution by anti-nuclear activists --what about shampoo samples?!
Some suggest that your initiative failed. We think your iodine project was a great success, and can be even better!
NoNuclearNow suggest that this is a great public and media opportunity to you all, to highlight the dangers of nuclear power.
Regardless of the outcome, the iodine pill action is brilliant, and inspiring.
But we wanted to offer this thought on our blogspot here: is there some bias by some police officials in their handling of your distribution initiative. Do the police confiscate shampoo and cleaning samples in the mailbox, distributed by Big Business!?
Your pills and program is clearly indicated, just as a sample of shampoo or household cleaners is marked, by advertisers. But the police don't confiscate those samples, and threaten criminality?!
You may have a great opportunity to make legitimate noise over the police/government position of your initiative! And sadly, as you know, media attention is what the anti-nuclear cause needs, as the nuclear industry, and some politicians and media, try to shut down the issues and nuclear dangers from the public!

April 26, 2009: NoNuclearNow.blogspot.com urges Action Now, as the USA Government today declares a NATIONWIDE Public Health Emergency.
Please take this chilling moment to remind politicians, media and your entire social network that modern technology and governments can NOT fully control the awesome powers of nature: such as swine flu, SARS, AIDS... nor nuclear energy....
To outreach to the broader public and media, we suggest that concerned citizens and activists seeking immediate nuclear energy moratorium in Ontario, Canada, the USA, and around the world, take the following action:
1 Please tell your ENTIRE social network about the USA declaration of a NATIONAL public health emergency on April 26, 2009, because of the recent swine flu outbreak!
2 Like the prior outbreaks of AIDS, SARS and bird flu, the present swine flu outbreak, shows us the dangers of believing the CEO's and spin masters of "BIG BUSINESS," their assurances that corporations and technology are absolutely safe and "fail safe;" that technology and corporations can fully safeguard people and society.
In this case, the nuclear industry wants the politicians and people of Ontario and the world, to believe that technology, and "government memos and regulations" CAN control, absolutely, the awesome --and often deadly-- forces of nuclear energy...
We can NOT yet fully control natural diseases with technology; so how can we believe the nuclear industry can control the wild, awesome, deadly powers of nuclear energy now, and for tens or hundreds of years?!
3) Remind your neighbours, friends and families about the PROVEN failures and INABILITY of the governments and technology of the USA and the world, to control recently nuclear energy now, during the
Three-Mile Island, and Chernobyl nuclear energy disasters!
4) Remind your entire social network that nuclear and government officials admitted that these two nuclear energy stations were on the verge of releasing HUGE amounts of radiation into the air, water and ground.
5) Remind people that millions of people in EU and North America WERE ACTUALLY exposed to radioactive dust clouds from Chernobyl....
6) Remind people that government officials in the USSR and France DENIED initially that there were such radioactive dust clouds... until other governments around the world began detecting and publicly reporting HUGE air-borne radiation across Europe...
7) Remind people that the best technology of mankind cannot control the spread of bird flu and swine flu... We must stop the proliferation of new, potentially catastrophic nuclear energy now! No Nuclear Now
Saturday, April 25, 2009
Amidst swine flu pandemic fears, nuclear industry wants governments and peoples of the world to believe we can control powers of nuclear energy now?
Yet, the nuclear industry wants the governments and peoples of the US, Canada and the world, to believe that the nuclear industry can safely control the frightening powers of nuclear energy now!
We need a moratorium on nuclear energy now!

Can we trust government supervision of nuclear energy!?
The North American, EU and world economies are collapsing after failure by USA government officials and politicians to supervise the financial and banking sectors.
Yet, the governments of North America want us to "trust them," that government can properly supervise the safety of nuclear energy plants! There are proven cases of hundreds and thousands of people who have died or been exposed to toxic chemicals; due directly to government supervision failures of food and environmental safety.
But with nuclear energy reactors, a failure would result in millions of deaths, trillions of dollars of economic loss... probably the death of an entire city and region of America and/or Canada.
Imagine, a "system failure" of the Ontario nuclear energy plants would contaminate some of the productive agriculture land in Canada; the Great Lakes water system; and kill millions of people... Exaggeration? Answer: Chernobyl, and the 30 km radius around it, is still closed after the nuclear energy reactor "failure" there in 1986 --1986!! Chernobyl that killed and exposed hundred of thousands of people DIRECTLY to nuclear energy radiation! and created radioactive clouds that exposed hundreds of millions of people across the EU and North America!
Imagine, an Alberta nuclear energy reactor on top of the tar sands! A nuclear energy "system failure" of the reactor at the tar sands, would make the tar sands lethal and useless for 10,000 years!!!!
There are many stories of nuclear energy reactor accidents, massive cost over-runs, since Chernobyl! Yet the government and mainstream media is telling us that everything is ok?!
Governments must show that they can truly be trusted with nuclear energy, one of mankind's most deadly inventions.

Boycott media and advertisers not offering appropriate coverage of the dangers and problems of nuclear energy issue
PLEASE JOIN US IN A GLOBAL BOYCOTT CAMPAIGN TO HELP STOP NUCLEAR ENERGY PROLIFERATION. BOYCOTT YOUR LOCAL AND NATIONAL MEDIA AND THEIR ADVERTISERS WHO ARE NOT TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE DANGERS OF NUCLEAR ENERGY
Please join us at NoNuclearNow, in our call to boycott media and their advertisers, who are showing bias or distortions about the very real dangers of nuclear energy. As you know, we are joining the great activists of Ontario, Canada and the world, against the new unchecked nuclear energy proliferation; trying to mount pressure against politicians, to reconsider a new nuclear energy proliferation!
We at NoNuclearNow hear so many decent, concerned citizens lament about the lack of full, unbiased media coverage about the dangers and problems of nuclear energy: NOT green, NOT cheap energy; and NOT safe. Well, let's take action that hurts the politicians and the corporates where it most matters to many of them: money!
Some people suggest --realize?!-- there is active media suppression/bias downplaying and/or ignoring the problems of nuclear.
In Ontario and around the world, concerned citizens organized creative events a la Ontario Clean Air Alliance, actions a la Greenpeace, letter-writing campaigns to their politicians; newspaper editors, media, etc.
Well, may we at NoNuclearNow suggest the good old --generally, effective!?!-- campaign of boycotts against both bias media and their advertisers!
Many concerned "green" citizens are the very people that advertisers and media are targeting for their products. Products that generally sell for premium prices --and thus, premius profits-- organic foods, "cleaner" hybrid cars, etc. Well, a new nuclear energy proliferation is going to endanger the lives, health and green progress of the entire world.
So may we suggest that you contact your local media outlet, newspaper, radio station, TV station, and let them know whether their coverage of nuclear is appropriate/bias; and whether you are going to be using/boycotting their advertisers' products!
NoNuclearNow is going to be organizing research into the media coverage about nuclear energy. So tune in to our blogsite! Or better yet, help us, by telling us what your impressions are about your local and national media coverage of the dangers of nuclear energy now!
Ontario, Canada is only months/weeks away from committing $26 Billion to new nuclear energy; pushing the world towards a new global nuclear energy proliferation! It's time for people power! Tell your local media outlet and their advertisers what you think now!
BOYCOTT MEDIA AND THEIR ADVERTISERS WHO ARE NOT TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE DANGERS OF NUCLEAR ENERGY

Google Search ranks us in the TOP 10! We need to keep the momentum and pressure up against nuclear energy proliferation.
Depending on the search phrase typed in, since our launch in March 2009, the world's largest search engine, Google Search and Google Blog Search, has ranked our humble little effort here in the TOP 10! 1-10 of 960,000. 1-10 of 2,550,000. 1-10 of 70,000,000!
We need to keep the momentum and pressure up against nuclear proliferation.
So thanks to you all out there, in Canada, the United States, and around the world now (including new friends and global activists in England, Indonesia, China, Australia, etc). Our litttle group and blogsite is now gaining lots of followers, influence, information, inspirational ideas, and activity.... People power. Outreach.
So please come by daily, several times a day, to our blogsite here. Please offer us your thoughts, information, actions, event information, to better this world. The good people of the world need to join together now, and act! We use to say, "let's take action, to better the world." Now we say, "let's take action, to save the world..."
On April 21, 10.38am our blogsite here was ranked TOP 10 by Google Blog Search, the world's largest search engine! Thanks everyone! We need to keep the momentum and pressure up against nuclear proliferation.
As many of you know, we have organized many creative, dynamic events to help get public and media attention, to highlight important social causes and issues; getting local, national and global media coverage, including Associated Press, and the coveted PAGE ONE of USA TODAY, America's largest, and one of the world's best known newspapers.
With our wonderful, visionary organizers, Amy L, Joe C, Greg Allen and Adriana Mugnatto-Hamu, our recent NoNuclearNow rally was another world first, highlighting the dangers and issues of nuclear energy.
We created the world's first ever public rally IN a traffic scramble intersection! We stood IN a pedestrian traffic intersection, and between traffic lights, had a soapbox and megaphone, with great speakers like Greg Allen (winner of the respected City of Toronto Green Award 2008); activist Lynn McDonald (a former federal Canadian politician; who successfully fought big tobacco interestsm, with groundbreaking anti-smoking legislation; co-founder of Just Earth); and Shawn Stensil of Greenpeace.
One of NoNuclearNow's top themes and goals is "outreach" -reaching out to the good people of the world; educating the public and media; touching their hearts and minds.
With your input, we hope this blogsite shall become a virtual community centre, a sincere, positive, meaningful world meeting hub of community and global thoughts, action and ideas about nuclear energy.
People power. Outreach, touching the hearts and minds of people, in our various efforts to stop the new lethal --likely unnecessary-- nuclear energy proliferation! To pressure politicians to stop the new nuclear energy proliferation, we must create massive public pressure, to get past those politicians and media tainted and misled by the nuclear industry CEO executives who want the people of the world to believe that nuclear energy is safe, clean and economical.
Nuclear energy is NOT clean, green energy. Nuclear energy is NOT cheap energy. Nuclear energy is NOT safe, and continues to have radiation leaks, accidents and government coverups.To stop the new nuclear proliferation, we must create massive public pressure. We must outreach to the media, and directly to the people. In this economic collapse, people are busy just surviving. So we need to outreach to people around the world, to reach and educate the sincere, decent journalists and politicans; to reach and educate the good people of the world: nuclear energy is NOT green, NOT cheap economy, and NOT safe.
To outreach, to maximize people power, the power of the people, we believe that creative, dynamic, succinct messages, facts, and images are needed in today's hectic, high-pressure world. We believe this has been part of the reason of the success of many of our events, and certainly of the NoNuclearNow rally --the world's first public rally to be organized IN a traffic scramble intersection!
The local and global economies and environments are being destroyed. A new nuclear energy proliferation may be the best chance --the last chance-- to avoid the collapse of modern society and humanity. The billions and trillions of dollars to to be spent on tainted nuclear energy could go to green, safe energy; and to so many other issues of the world today. Imagine what your community group, your city, your country, this world could do with the billions and trillions of dollars that some politicians want to spend on new nuclear energy!
To repeat, to inspire you --and frankly ourselves:
Depending on the search phrase, since our launch in April 2009, the world's largest search engine, Google Search and Google Blog Search, has ranked us in the TOP 10!
So thanks to you all out there, in Canada, the United States, and around the world now (including England, Indonesia, China), our litttle group and blogsite is gaining lots of followers, information, influence, inspiration and activity.... People power. Outreach.
So please come by daily, several times a day, to our blogsite here. Please offer us your thoughts, information, actions, to better this world. The good people of the world need to join together now, and act! We use to say, "let's take action, to better the world." Now we say, "let's take action, to save the world..." Together we can! Together, we must.

One of our speakers at our world-history-making NoNuclearNow rally made history already! Lynn McDonald
Regarding, Ms McDonald. She was a former federal politician in Canada, the MP for
Broadview-Greenwood in Toronto (1982-1988). We invited Ms McDonald to speak at our rally because of her efforts and expertise as both a former anti-nuclear activist. Her activism now is directed at the community organization, Just Earth, and their crucial efforts in the crucial issue of climate change.
But Ms McDonald and Just Earth supported our rally, recognizing that the planned global proliferation of nuclear energy would directly impact climate change!
Ms McDonald has already made history, herself, on many fronts; including her anti-tobacco efforts, by being one of the few politicians in Canada to successfully introduce legislation, while not in the ruling government party (i.e., "private member's bill"). Her legislation sought to restrict smoking and ban tobacco ads, Bill C 204.
Given today's information and bans on smoking around the world, Ms McDonald was very much ahead of the curve in her thinking in the 1980's! We thank her in her support of our efforts at NoNuclearNow.
As well, we at NoNuclearNow are pleased and honoured that Ms McDonald has graciously accepted our invitation to join another action by NoNuclearNow to continue the momentum of the anti-nuclear energy movement! Another secret initiative at this moment. But be on the lookout --this action shall mount national and global action and attention on the dangers of nuclear energy!
We urge and thank everyone, keeping up on the media and public pressure against nuclear energy!

A speaker from our history-making rally looks to make history again! Adriana Mugnatto-Hamu
Adriana Mugnatto-Hamu was one of our great speakers at our history-making pedestrian scramble intersection rally on April 2, 2009. With her support and yours, we became the first social cause to ever organize a rally in a traffic pedestrian scramble!
Well, we just heard that Adriana is looking to make history again, as she becomes the federal Green Party candidate in the Toronto riding of "Toronto Danforth."
While we're a non-partisan group, and don't endorse specific parties or candidates, we do want to say that with the world economy and environment collapsing, we need to raise the media and public consciousness. We need good people and activists like Adriana in politics.
Thanks for taking on the challenge; and good luck, Adriana.

Thanks! Our blogspot beats Google ranking of pro-nuclear org and pro-nuclear government sites!
Sure, we're not the #1 site if someone typed in "nuclear," or "nuclear power." But those people typing in such typical phrasing of teens, young adults and some activists would see our blogspot ranked #1: "no nuclear," "nuclear now."
Imagine, some of the sites that we beat out on google search, are large activist or even
pro-nuclear power organizations and pro-nuclear government utilities! --who probably spent thousands of dollars, hundreds of thousands of dollars on IT staff, marketing staff, public relations staff! And in our efforts to highlight the ANTI-nuclear position, our little blogspot and effort beat them all in the global Google search rankings!
Thanks again. Now let's keep on the media and public pressure to highlight nuclear's problems.

We made world history together. Thanks!
No Nuclear Now. No Nuclear energy now, because:
Nuclear is NOT green, not clean.
Nuclear is NOT economic, not cheap energy
Nuclear is NOT safe!
Nuclear energy is the next ponzi scheme?
1) Nuclear reactors cost taxpayers billions of dollars
2) Nuclear reactors cost taxpayers billions of dollars, more than stated in the budgets
3) Nuclear reactors require massive taxpayers to maintain, safeguard the spent nuclear waste
4) Nuclear reactors only last about 20 years or so; and then require billions of taxpayers dollars to shut down (think of the fees you pay to throw out your garbage; and multiply by billions!)
5) Nuclear reactors cost billions of taxpayers dollars to construct, maintain, and guard storage site for nuclear reactor waste... for thousands of years!
6) If there were ever a terrorist attack, or major accident, the cost to taxpayers would be potentially trillions of dollars --not to mention the loss of potentially millions of lives....
( Not reasonable comment? Before a successful shutdown, the USA Three-Mile Island reactor officially declared a state of emergency, i.e., possible major radiation leak that would be lethal to humans. But the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear reactor did explode, blowing radioactive dust clouds that exposed millions of people across western Europe and eastern North America. The area around the Chernobyl disaster is still closed, for a radius of 30 km --0ver 20 years later!
7) The nuclear industry tells government leaders and the peoples of the world that nuclear is green, cheap energy, and safe... We are told that if an investment by taxpayers into nuclear energy shall result in cheap, safe energy ... but it seems that taxpayers just continue and continue to pay, for the maintenance, repair, and even the eventual shutdown of nuclear reactors.
8) Please consider the Wikipedia definition of a Ponzi scheme:
a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to investors from their own money or money paid by subsequent investors rather than from any actual profit earned. The Ponzi scheme usually offers returns that other investments cannot guarantee in order to entice new investors, in the form of short-term returns that are either abnormally high or unusually consistent. The perpetuation of the returns that a Ponzi scheme advertises and pays requires an ever-increasing flow of money from investors in order to keep the scheme going.
The system is destined to collapse...

A World First --Media Release of 2009 April 2 Event
The world's first social-cause event organized IN a public pedestrian scramble intersection, highlights dangers of nuclear energy!
"No Nuclear Now," a community group, organizes the world's first "intersecting" of the new internet phenomenon of "social networking;" a social cause; and the age-old, key right to "freedom of speech."
(TORONTO) It's as if the city of London's "Speaker Corner" at Hyde Park was dropped into Toronto Canada's only pedestrian traffic scramble intersection!
Today, for the first time in the world, an entire social-cause event is held IN and around a pedestrian traffic scramble intersection! This special event actually achieves two "firsts" in the history of Toronto, Canada, and the whole world, as "No Nuclear Now," a community group of genuine and concerned citizens, gets "the word out" on the problems of the still unsettled debate over nuclear energy --one of the most important issues of our time that shall impact your personal future, and that the very survival of modern civilization as we know it today! A debate that some politicians, media, and nuclear company executives are trying to shut down and suppress.
There are many pedestrian scrambles in the world. Japan calls its 300 pedestrian traffic intersections, "scramble crossings," or "sukuranburu-kÅsaten."
Today's April 2 event is the FIRST TIME in the history of Toronto and the whole world where three important social phenomena meet –literally in an "intersection! 1) social cause meets 2) the new internet phenomenon of "social networking," and 3) the old-age human desire for freedom of speech, as symbolized by "soapbox democracy." Speaking out on important issues from on top of a soapbox!
At this April 2 event, during "pedestrian scrambles," event speakers stand on a "soapbox" in the middle of the street intersections of Yonge Street and Dundas Street, Toronto, Canada; speaking about the dangers of nuclear energy power.
Yonge Street is the longest street in the world, and the intersection at Yonge Street and Dundas Street, is a symbolic centre of Toronto, Canada's largest
city --and also within the zone of any major radiation leak from the nearby Pickering nuclear energy reactor! Yonge Street would become the world's longest graveyard...
The dangers and energy issues of nuclear power is not an exaggeration by fringe fools. Far from it, respected social and energy experts like Greg Allen, the 2008 recipient of the City of Toronto's own Green Leadership Award, warn us that nuclear energy is expensive, unreliable, deadly and UNNECESSARY.
Media Release – A World First --Toronto- April 2, 2009- Event today Noon!
Page 2 of 2
At today's scramble event, social activists like Adriana Magnutto-Hamu, Angela Bischoff, Ontario Clean Air Alliance; Shawn Patrick, Greenpeace; Lynn McDonald, former MP activist, who led early anti-smoking legislation. They note that the very genuine nuclear energy concerns of the peoples of Toronto, Ontario, Canada and the world are being shut down, ignored!
Ontario is about to spend $26 Billion --during a global economic collapse!!-- on one of the world's largest nuclear energy expansion since the world's worst nuclear energy reactor explosion --at Europe's Chernobyl reactor. That explosion exposed millions of people in Europe and even North America to potentially deadly and disease-causing radiation dust clouds!
Today N3 (No Nuclear Now) joins the coalition of genuine, concerned community people and organizations in Ontario and the world, calling for a moratorium on nuclear energy reactors!
Remember, over 20 years after the disaster, the Chernobyl nuclear energy reactor --and an area of 30 kilometres around this deadly reactor-- is still permanently closed to humans... The city of Toronto, the pedestrian scramble at Dundas Street and Yonge Street would become a radioactive wasteland...
"Now Nuclear Now" wants you, and the peoples of Ontario and the world to know what suppressed respected energy experts are saying.
Genuinely concerned citizens and media of Toronto, Ontario and the world, join us, get the facts and the truth that some politicians and media, nuclear company CEO's and their Wall Street/Bay Street bankers do NOT want you to know! Nuclear is deadly and unreliable. Nuclear is not needed.
N3: No Nuclear Now. Because nuclear power is NOT green. Nuclear is NOT cheap. Nuclear is NOT safe!

A world first! Be part of a rally to get global public and media attention to the dangers of nuclear energy
A special public event on April 2, 2009. Be part of a worldwide first!
Yonge Dundas Square, downtown Toronto. Corner of Yonge Street and Dundas Street.
We begin at 12 noon to 1pm, but try to get there at the beginning, as it's going to be a fun surprise, a world first! Because sadly, some politicians and nuclear company executives want to suppress the problems about nuclear energy, we need to be creative in getting public and media attention to this important cause.
No Nuclear energy now. Because Nuclear is NOT green
Nuclear is NOT economical
Nuclear is not safe.
With better energy conservative and alternative energy, the billions that should be spent on nuclear by the Canadian and Ontario Government may NOT be needed at all!
According to the globally respected Moody's business rating service, the credit rating of public energy utility companies in the USA that construct nuclear plants end up dropping, by upwards of 30%!
So come join in, Toronto's Yonge Dundas Square, as we begin to outreach to the peoples and media of Toronto, Ontario, Canada and the world! No nuclear now!
