The location of the planet's nuclear waste dump has been chosen. The ABC'S CATALYST PROGRAM LAST NIGHT NAMED THE SWAN HILL/ LAKE BOGA AREA AS HAVING THE ONLY GRANITE IN THE WORLD THAT CAN CONTAIN NUCLEAR WASTE. HOW DO THEY KNOW? WELL, THEY DON'T. THEY SAID THE GRANITE HAD ALREADY HELD RADIOACTIVITY FOR PERHAPS MILLIONS OF YEARS THEREFORE IT WILL BE FINE TO TO CREATE THE DUMP WITHIN THE GRANITE.
THAT DOESN'T FOLLOW. The radioactivity that the granite contained was miniscule and was from a small amount of uranium. When uranium was discovered there in the fifties it was such a tiny amount no one bothered mining it.
There is no telling how the granite will react to enormous amounts of nasty waste for no one knows how the human element will effect it. They will short-cut - the way humans do - and store corruptly, and no one is sure how waste artificially applied to the granite will respond. It may be fine to believe in scientists' THEORIES but remember they have all been wrong on the storage of nuclear waste so far.
I published a prophetic novel, THE DEVIL'S TRAP ... set to catch friends (Amazon 2006 on), which claims Australia is going to be the planet's nuclear waste dump. Presciently enough it speculates that the Swan Hill/ Lake Boga area will be the location of choice - the CIA had been monitoring the area by satellite for close to a decade.
A new clue that Australia is to become the nuclear dumping ground for the planet. US energy secretary, Steven Chu, has eliminated funding to build a nuclear waste store. This is strange because their waste storage in Washington State is leaking into the Columbia river and cannot be stopped. They have tried single-skin steel containers, double skin containers, ceramics, removal of the radio pollution from the water flowing into the river, all to no avail.
Chu says he will back the building of fast neutron reactors that may burn long-lived waste. He has no idea if it will or not and neither does anyone else. This is all very cavalier when addressing the nuclear waste problem. While here in Australia a former prime minister has advocated that we (Australia) takes the planet's nuclear waste, as did a former trade union leader who is now the minister for power. It's most unusual for a a politician to get a cabinet posting that controls the very thing he is promoting.
The problem with the waste here is that the oldest human structure on the planet are the Egyptian pyramids and they are only eight thousand years old. When the English first discovered them they had no idea what they were used for. Imagine the condition of nuclear containers after 300,000 years. Would anyone know what they were for? Of course the discoverers would break them open Indiana Jones style, say in twenty thousand years. Are you getting the scenario?
China is using North Korea to confront President Obama. North Korea who has been totally controlled by China for decades (see previous postings) would never explode an underground nuclear device without China's permission. As Obama has remained cool during this period they had North Korea fire more rockets. It is a real politic strategy. The move is hidden so China still has room to move in future negotiations and remain a member of the UN.
America has an easy out. It has taken samples of the alleged fall-out, and it only has to declare the samples non-nuclear and North Korea looks sick enough to begin questioning its loyalty to China.
At last the media has named Pakistan the real terrorist state. Today The Australian carried it on page one. Afghanistan is being kept on the boil because America is undecided on how to contain Pakistan, the nuclear state. As two thirds of Pakistan is Taliban you get the idea. This blog has been banging away for sometime about the danger of Pakistan and not allowing the world to recognise where the real danger lies.
Kevin Rudd wanting to promote China as a central player in the planet's economy (SEE TODAY'S AUSTRALIAN) is a little like former pm Robert Menzies backing Japan and Nazi Germany before the second world war. It means that democracy as a way of life is no longer significant to him. China's appalling treatment of Tibet, the Burmese people and the countless other human rights abuses including the treatment of their own dissidents gives us a clear take on exactly what the Chinese heirarchy is all about. They have never been transparent on any issue. What is Kevin Rudd thinking? Afterall you either have democracy or you don't. You can tell which by studying the fortunes of dissidents and whistle blowers.
AND AS EARLIER POSTED CHINA HAS NOT PUMPED 800 BILLION INTO THEIR ECONOMY. I TOLD YOU THEY WERE LYING - AS THEY HAVE LIED ABOUT EVERYTHING. WHAT IS KEVIN RUDD THINKING?
We've known for years now that the planet's terrorists are located in Pakistan and not Afghanistan. The terrible farce that is being played out by the western military is for one reason only. They are frightened of Pakistan because it is in the nuclear arms club. Imagine verbally sounding off against them and finding that ,hey ,they're calling the West's bluff. So America and perhaps others will continue to play out this game in Afghanistan while never coming to terms with the real enemy. How the corrupt recipients of the US's hundreds of millions must be laughing. They fought no terrorists and were therefore not assassinated. In fact there is good evidence (check The Guardian's experts) that they helped train the terrorists and supplied them with American arms.

Now the US minisdter for power (Chu) has wiped money for new dumps in their country off the budget. MTC
