Golf: Sick Mental Capitalist vs. The Planet

Saw a great documentary last night and was both horrified and inspired by it that I thought I would recommend itto as many as I can. It is about the environmental catastrophe caused by Donald Trump building his golf course in Aberdeenshire and the resistance of local residents.

They have a website for the film

www.youvebeentrumped.com

and you can contact the director and producer to arrange showings for community groups.

It resonates with the occupy mood. You can see Trump in action in the film to make yourselves aware just in case he really runs for president one day and you can learn about the

campaign against the course which is still active.

Fukushima: ”China Syndrome may cause huge explosion”

China syndrome inevitable says architect of Fukushima Reactor No. 3 — Warns of massive hydrovolcanic explosion — Melted fuel inevitably sank underground

Architect of Reactor 3 warns of massive hydrovolcanic explosion, Fukushima Diary by Mochizuki, November 19, 2011:

Nov. 17 interview with Uehara Haruo, former president of Saga University and architect of Fukushima Daiichi Reactor 3

“He admitted Tepco’s explanation does not make sense, and that the China syndrome is inevitable.”

“He stated that considering 8 months have passed since 311 without any improvement, it is inevitable that melted fuel went out of the container vessel and sank underground.”

“If the underground water vein keeps being heated for long time, a massive hydrovolcanic explosion will be caused.”

Discovery Channel BANS Climate Change News

Discovery Channel has stated that it was taking out the last episode due to ‘scheduling conflicts’, but others believe the channel is cutting the episode ‘On Thin Ice’ because it deals directly with the impacts of global warming on the Arctic and Antarctic.

My bet is that Discovery and other channels were yet again quietly bought off by the Climate Change Deniers, financed by the swill of 100s of billions profit made by the criminal oil companies every year, while paying NONE of the costs to the climate, environment and pollution caused ill health and deaths which they caused.

And the US is not alone, around one third of the networks to air the series worldwide have opted on accepting the series from the BBC without the last episode.

“It’s a bit like pressing the stop button on Titanic just as the iceberg appears,” a representative with Greenpeace told The Telegraph. “Climate change is the most important part of the polar story, the warming in the Arctic can’t be denied, it’s changing the environment there in ways that are making experts fearful for the future.”

There is a cheap, CO2 and pollution free alternative to oil, at least for transport, suppressed by the oil companies.. That’s NH3 fuel, check it out here. note. posts on NH3 the CO2-Free fuel now have their own blog HERE.. http://co2freefuelexistsnow.wordpress.com/ Continue reading “Discovery Channel BANS Climate Change News”

Europe: Mystery radioactive cloud spreading

Radioactive Particles Are Spreading Across Europe and Nobody Knows Why,

Mystery cloud of dangerous iodine-131 over Europe is absolutely cause for concern — Certainly deserves more than 129 words by IAEA

[…] So how would [the postulated reasons of pharmaceutical companies or nuclear submarines or transportation of radioactive materials] explain contamination that spans hundreds and hundreds of miles?

The International Atomic Energy Agency says “the current trace levels of iodine-131 that have been measured do not pose a public health risk,” but we’ve heard that so many times before. It’s not a cause for panic, but an unexplained cloud of dangerous radioactivity is absolutely cause for concern. It certainly deserves more than 129 words on the IAEA’s website. [Reuters

London Buses could be pollution and CO2 free for $37m. report

NH3 Cost benefit analysis 1. draft report

Conversion of London Buses to zer0 % of CO2 and toxic gas emissions.

NH3unit — This diagram is the JACKPOT for those really seeking an answer to CO2 and Climate Change. An ‘off the shelf’ NH3 production process is CO2 free and makes a fuel that is also Co2 free and produces no toxic gases when burnt. Available from http ://www.protonchemie.com/NFUEL.html

London Buses manages one of the largest bus networks in the world. Approximately 7,500 iconic red buses carry more than six million passengers each weekday on a network serving all parts of Greater London.

Carbon emissions (approx) = 1.3kg per kilometer www.carb

London buses covered 468m km in 2008 http://www.tfl.gov.uk/…pdf

468m km X 1.3kg = 608.4million kg p.a…. that`s about 608,400 tons of CO2 a year saved converting to CO2 free fuel! Continue reading “London Buses could be pollution and CO2 free for $37m. report”

Visit the Occupied Bank..Ocupat un Banc!

Why have we OCCUPIED a bank?
These are the ultimate expression of capitalism, one of the clearest signals that may be taking profits from the suffering of the majority of the population
Every day, in Spain there are approximately 300 evictions, where banks tend to be those responsible for the evictions of families for non-payment of mortgages. In Barcelona there are thousands of people homeless or living in extreme poverty. On the other hand, just in our neighborhood there are 800 empty flats, and as many other sites continues beyond the residents in the neighborhood.

Per què hem ocupat un banc?
Aquests són la màxima expressió del capitalisme, sent una de les senyals més evidents el fet que puguin estar traient beneficis del patiment de la majoria de la població. Cada dia a l’Estat espanyol hi ha aproximadament uns 300 desnonaments, on els bancs acostumen a ser els responsables dels desnonaments de les famílies per impagament de les hipoteques. A Barcelona hi ha milers de persones sense casa o vivint en extrema pobresa. Com a contrapartida, només en el nostre barri hi ha uns 800 pisos buits, i com a tants altres llocs es segueix fent fora els veïns i veïnes del barri.

What are we doing?
Gradually the activities and workshops are being made (kind of guitar, vegan eatery, etc.). Or are being started (salsa classes, Jiu-Jitsu, etc..), Many people have passed to fix the space or bring things that could be used (tables, food, books, etc.).. Come and find out what equipment is needed, what activities are being organised or simply to collaborate with the project in the bank and drop a question.

Què estem fent?
Poc a poc són més les activitats i tallers que s’estan realitzant (classe de guitarra, sopadors, etc.) o que estan en procés de començar (classes de salsa, jiu-jitsu, etc.), com molta és la gent que s’ha passat a arreglar l’espai o a portar coses que poguessin servir (taules, menjar, llibres, etc.). Si vols saber què material fa falta, quines activitats s’estan fent o simplement per col·laborar amb el projecte passa’t pel banc i pregunta.

If there is the eviction of the bank:
Concentration-time in front of the space.
-Demonstration at 20pm the same day in Revolution Square.
We can be found every day from 17h to 22h or 19h every Thursday at the assembly space.

Si es produís el desallotjament del banc:
-Concentració en el moment davant de l’espai.
-Manifestació a les 20h del mateix dia a plaça Revolució.

Ens pots trobar cada dia de 17h a 22h o cada dijous a les 19h a l’assemblea de l’espai.
VINE I PARTICIPA!ALLIBERANT ESPAIS, CONSTRUÏNT ALTERNATIVES!

oThursday 10: 19pm meeting space. If you have any activity or part of the project, this is your time.ogle Translation

Lethal radioactivity spreads as Fukushima hots up.

Japan Times: It is now a “grave situation” at Fukushima — “Plutonium fission” mentioned for first time — “Criticality is very likely to have occurred”

The meltdowns are still out of control. Every day more radioactive ‘Hotspots’ are found, many 100’s of kms away, but latest reports shoe the stations may have GONE CRITICAL AGAIN.

Nov. 3, 8:30 pm ET Tepco announced Wednesday that, according to the Times, “There is the possibility that criticality, a sustained nuclear chain reaction, had occurred ‘temporarily’ and ‘locally’ in the No. 2 reactor.”

During it’s testing, Tepco has detected xenon-133 and -135, “Products of uranium or plutonium fission.”

The half life of xenon-135 is about 9 hours, therefore, “Criticality is very likely to have occurred just before the gases were analyzed,” reports the Times.

“Clearly the reactor has not yet been stabilized,” and, according to the Times, “The fact that Tepco cannot deny the possibility of criticality irrespective of its scale is a grave situation.”

And the article notes, “Conditions are similar in the Nos. 1, 2 and 3 reactors.”

Now is the time to get “serious” writes The Times:

“Tepco should make serious efforts to accurately grasp the conditions of nuclear fuel inside the reactors.”
“Tepco and the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency should take a serious view of the fact that radioactive xenon pointing to criticality was detected from the No. 2 reactor. What happened in it can happen in the Nos. 1 and 3 reactors.”
