Weapons of Mass Destruction |
|
When George W. Bush was "convinced" that Iraq had nuclear weapons, he called out everything he had in his arsenal to get them. Dick Cheney falsified reports, sent Colin Powell to the UN, sent our armed forces into battle. But what were they really after? We still have forces there. WMD never existed. That was 8 years ago.
Today, a nuclear disaster threatens our ally Japan and maybe even the world. But all we hear is spin. Everything will be okay.
Nuclear power is safe. Keep repeating. Nuclear power is safe. Stay calm. This too shall pass.
Nuclear power has never been safe.
We have more WMD in our backyards then ever existed in Iraq. 1000 times over. Ticking time bombs sanctioned by our government. Sold to us as "good energy", with the profits lining the fatcat's pockets. Our money and our lives at risk. What a sweet deal. What a perfect catch.
Think everything is cool with those nukes? Don't kid yourselves.
You are being lied to.
all the time

I keep hearing "ALL power sources have risks."
What, exactly, are the risks of solar and wind power generators? That they could fall on you? How could they kill hundreds of thousands?

2. Plus we have tens of thousands of weapons of mass destruction that were actually designed to be |
|
weapons of mass destruction.
What about those that are one finger away from destroying the world?

3. Yeah, exactly! We're taken a paradise, earth, and turned it into a disaster zone. I've always |
|
felt humans will be eventually purged off earth. Many species are long gone, why are we any different or special than in our own little minds.
