The World Hate Organisation
Many people perceive the United Nations to be some kind of noble and august organisation. The reality is somewhat different. In fact, the UN is more like a talking shop for a bunch of spivs and gangsters (aka our glorious … Continue reading
Fukushima and Fascism
There’s something going on in Japan, because earlier in the week the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) announced that 300 tonnes of highly radioactive water had leaked from a storage tank at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (here). This … Continue reading
The WHO, Japan and alpha emitters
Last Wednesday the World Health Organisation (WHO) published a report that said post-Fukushima radiation levels in Japan were low (see here). I’m not going to argue about the figures in this WHO report, or the fact that WHO uses data … Continue reading

Fukushima: the possibility of a massive explosion
Last Thursday, TEPCO mistakenly reported that radiation levels found in a puddle of water (that two plant workers had stepped in) were ten million times normal. They later corrected this and said the levels were ten thousand times normal. The … Continue reading
The world concentrates on other news as Japan begins to glow in the dark
I wish I had some good news to report about the nuclear crisis in Japan; but alas: the last two weeks have been a slowly unfolding nightmare. Every day it’s got a little bit worse, and information from the Japanese … Continue reading
