Great victory to people power against nuclear, but where is media?!
2009 July 16
In June 2009, Ontario was to announce commitment of $26 BILLION CDN to new nuclear power in Ontario, Canada. Instead, the Ontario Government --and federal Canadian Government, in essence-- have announced formally their decision to suspend their new MASSIVE nuclear power ramp-up!?
The probable reason: a broad, bold grassroots efforts by citizens of Ontario, Canada, against new nuclear power.
But the Ontario announcement was made weeks ago: question, where are the media stories about the issue, about the government bowing to genuine citizen concerns about the economic viability, and safety of nuclear energy power!
Where is the media? Where is the media?

Federal Minister of Natural Resources apologizes for nuclear reactor comments
Federal Minister of Natural Resources apologizes for nuclear reactor comments
June 10, 2009
A day after refusing to apologize, yesterday, Federal Minister made tearful public apology over her tape-recorded comments suggesting that she was happy to make political gain from the shortage of medical isotopes supplied by Chalk River nuclear plant, in Ontario, Canada. The plant provides 30%, to 50% or more of the WORLD'S supply of medical isotopes, essential in key medical tests and cancer treatments!
The Minsiter did not know about the tape-recording, made accidentally, by her aide; but tried unsuccessfully to have the tapes blocked from public release! The Minister tendered her resignation, which was rejected by Canada's leader, the Prime Minister.
The debate should NOT be able the tape recordings being made, or released. The debate and public anger should be about the dangers and unreliability of nuclear energy, and the deaths that should be caused by the world shortage that may result from the possible mismanagement of the nuclear plant!
This incident showing the problems of nuclear plants, should be clear proof that the planned ramp-up of new nuclear plants must be studied more carefully.

"Peaceful" North Korean nuclear energy illustrates dangers of nuclear energy
2009 May 26: 5.37pm ET --"Peaceful" North Korean nuclear energy program shows that the world cannot throw open the door on new nuclear energy programs.
North Korea detonated a nuclear explosion --a blast that equalled the blasts that killed hundreds of thousands of people at Hiroshima and Nagaski, Japan, in 1945... Then for fun, North Korea lobbed a few more short-range missles, to show that they can!
To think that other nations won't follow this route?

Small big victory: Ontario Government delays nuclear decision
Small big victory: Ontario Government delays nuclear decision
2009 May 25. 3:16pm ET
Ontario Government delays nuclear decision. Congratulations to the concerned citizens and activists of Ontario, Canada and the world, whose political and public awareness campaign pressured the Government of Ontario, to delay --again!-- its commitment to spend $26 Billion on new nuclear energy power in Ontario, Canada!
The Ontario Government gives no explanation of their decision to delay.
We need to keep the pressure on! Nuclear is NOT green, is NOT safe, is not even cost-effective!
Since 2006, Ontario's energy needs have been dropping! Thus, many people say, that Ontario doesn't even need costly, dangerous nuclear power!

Hackers breach FAA air traffic control systems! Are nuclear reactor control systems really safer?!
Are we taking it for granted that the computers that control nuclear reactors are safe from hackers?! Other major infrastructure computer systems have PROVEN penetration of their computer systems; resulting in stolen passwords; the planting of malicious codes...
The new proposed nuclear ramp-up in Ontario, Canada and the world, would result in thousands of new nuclear plants around the world. Nuclear plants with computer control centres that could be full of technical problems, and software holes that hackers could exploit. And who is guarding against that?
Below are excerpts from Wall Street Journal report about a USA Transportation Department's inspector general report released on May 9, 2009! that suggests that hackers have penetrated government systems throughout 2008! And given that we are pointing out the danger of such hackers to nuclear reactor control systems, it is ironic that the Wall Street Journal article even notes that electrical grid control systems have dangerous links between administrative and operational computer links, that could result in hackers getting into operational functions of the power grid?!!
Excerpt from Wall Street Journal
Last year, hackers of unspecified origin "took over FAA computers in Alaska" to effectively become agency insiders, and traveled the agency networks to Oklahoma, where they stole the network administrator's password and used it to install malicious codes, the report said. These hackers also gained the ability to obtain 40,000 FAA passwords and other information used to control the administrative network, it said.
In February, another cyber break-in yielded the personal information of 48,000 current and former agency employees.
"The threat of hackers interfering with our air-traffic control systems is not just theoretical; it has already happened," said Republican Rep. Tom Petri of Wisconsin, one of the lawmakers who requested the report. "We must regard the strengthening of our air-traffic control security as an urgent matter."
Tom Kellermann, a vice president at Core Security Technologies, a cybersecurity company, likened the threats cited by the report to the television show "24" in which terrorists hack into and commandeer the FAA's air-traffic control system to crash planes. "The integrity of the data on which ground control is relying can be manipulated, much as seen in '24,'" he said.
Most critical infrastructure, such as the electric grid, have developed links between administrative and operational control systems that indirectly link the control systems to the public Internet, intelligence officials said.

Using legislation to fight nuclear energy proliferation
NoNuclearNow.blogpspot.com
We at NoNuclearNow, want to ask you, the people of the world, for your thoughts and ideas on what legislative pressure we can bring to oppose the looming unchecked nuclear energy proliferation in Ontario, Canada and the world. Some examples --some successful, at that, so take heart, everyone!
1 In the USA, some recent proposed nuclear energy reactor projects have been stopped, because legislation has banned taxpayer bailouts of any overruns by new nuclear energy reactor constructions... The nuclear companies themselves suspended their projects! What does that say about the nuclear industry's claims of being efficient, cost-effective, safe...
2 In Canada, anti-nuclear activists are seeking similar legislation amendments to the provincial Ontario Government's Green Act.
3 In Scotland, we were provided with the following comment from Utility Week; a quote that suggests another avenue that the public may use to bring pressure to bear on nuclear energy proliferation: planning and zoning.
"Mike Weir, the Scottish National Party MP for Angus, insisted: "The Scottish Government are entitled to exercise their power under the electricity and planning legislation"."

Nuclear is safe?! Chernobyl radiation cloud went across EU, UK, and even northeast North America
The nuclear industry wants the politicians, media and people of the world, to believe that nuclear power is SAFE! Please let your contacts, family and friends know the simple real, PROVEN fact: the nuclear disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear energy reactor in 1986 released radioactive clouds that were RECORDED and REPORTED by governments and scientists.
These radioative clouds drifted across the EU, the UK, to northeast North America.
We are trying to get the exact statistics about these radiation clouds, and post them here for you... Maybe, some of you --our wonderful readers and supporters of NoNuclearNow-- can help! If you know, send us one of your great emails and let us know what you know!
We understand that radiation levels were up everywhere, where the clouds drifted.
And there is concern that various governments and officials covered up the extent of the danger and consequences this radioactive exposure had on the health of the people of the world!
We heard (unconfirmed) that Scotland's radiation levels were up 10 times over the normal after Chernobyl. We'll try to ask the Honourable Scottish MP Mike Weir, an anti-nuclear proponent, whom we just discovered, may have hit upon an AMAZING admission by a top British nuclear industry exec, that nuclear energy is dangerous!!
We'll be posting more on this later hopefully soon. The Ontario Government's decision on nuclear is looming! And with this nuclear ramp-up, a new looming global nuclear age, that would destroy humanity and civilization.... Please, let's get the information out there! Nuclear is NOT safe. Nuclear is NOT green. Nuclear is Not cost-effective... Nuclear energy is NOT the answer.

Scottish MP, Honourable Mike Weir (SNP) catches British
Posted: 2009 May 4. Original material dated April 15, 2009
Source citation: http://www.snp.org/node/15137
MP Mike Weir catches British nuclear executive, admitting that nuclear is dangerous?!
We are not quite sure of the source of the quote by Scottish MP, the Honourable Mike Weir, below; but we shall post our followup. AND maybe, we'll see if we can an interview with MP Mike Weir. Here's the piece:
Scottish MP cites senior British Nuclear Fuels executive, admitting to dangers of nuclear energy, on BBC Radio!
Speaking on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme, David Bonser said … "the Government have decided to go ahead with nuclear power here in the UK. Now, of course, there’s lots of risks around that…"
Mr Weir said:
"David Bonser’s assessment underlines exactly why Scotland is right to reject the development of dangerous, unnecessary and costly new nuclear power stations."Nuclear is unreliable as well as unnecessary. Installed capacity of renewables in Scotland already exceeds installed capacity of nuclear power. We can achieve secure, clean, low carbon energy by harnessing Scotland's vast green potential, tackling climate change without adding to the burden of toxic radioactive waste.
"The risks and uncertainties of nuclear power, in terms of waste disposal, decommissioning, security and health concerns, or cost, are far too great.

Influential Drudge Report notes too that technology cannot control nature's awesome power --"too clever for technology"
April 25, 2009 -- NoNuclearNow.blogspot.com suggests the analogy between the failure of technology and government to control such natural forces as the swine flu, to the failure of government and technology to control safely the natural, awesome and deadly forces and dangers of nuclear energy.
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?!
Dear friends at Greenpeace and Ontario Clean Air Alliance, we just heard about the intervention by some police/government officials, against your great efforts and idea to distribute the iodine pills to highlight the very deadly dangers of nuclear energy!
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

Can we trust government supervision of nuclear energy!?
Governments have failed to supervise drinking water safety, food safety. People have died. Government coverups have been discovered and PROVEN!
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.

Google Search ranks us in the TOP 10! We need to keep the momentum and pressure up against nuclear energy proliferation.
Thank you. Thanks everyone out there.
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.
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!

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!

One of our speakers at our world-history-making NoNuclearNow rally made history already! Lynn McDonald
Ms Lynn McDonald was one of our speakers at our April 2, 2009 rally in Toronto, Canada; where we made world history. Thanks to you, our speakers and our supporters, we became the first public rally in the world, to organize IN a pedestrian scramble intersection!
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!

We made world history together. Thanks!
To highlight, the dangers and debate over nuclear energy, NoNuclearNow organized the world's first rally by a social cause, in a traffic pedestrian scramble --at Toronto's only scramble intersection at Yonge Street and Dundas Street!
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!
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?
Is the nuclear industry organizing a Ponzi Scheme against the governments and peoples of Ontario , Canada, and the world?
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...
