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.

CHINA REALLY TEST FIRED THE ROCKET

April 5th 2009 04:40
China forced North Korea to fire the rocket over Japan. The rocket is powerful enough to reach the west coast of the Unites States and is therefore regarded as a distinct threat to the US.

North Korea doesn't move a centremetre without instructions from China. This time there are blatant moves afoot. China wants the US government to guarantee the trillion US dollars worth of assets it has in America. Such a guarantee, if China then decided to remove the assets, would bankrupt America (Imagine if they demand the same of Australia once they've done the big buy up

If we sell too much to China they may believe that we belong to them. The ALP is falling for China's great con. Australia has to understand that China is not civilised. It is a greedy country that was too long under communist rule. Now they believe the world owes them a living and they plan to make it an ambition.

Already they have asked the US government to guarantee the value of the assets they hold in America, some trillion dollars. If the Americans did this and China called it the US would be bankrupt

Kevin Rudd's zero toleration of bikie violence should be applied to China violence. He obviously hasn't examined that country's execution figures for he is all for promoting of China as central to the planet's financial recovery.

In 2007 the San Francisco based Dui Hua Foundation estimated, despite China's denial, that the real number of executions was 5,000. Of course we have to understand that one of their industries is the sale of body parts from those who are executed. However China is doing its best to help the world recovery, according to Rudd. Pity that most of those executed are dissidents (practicing democracy) although two last year were responsible for putting the toxic chemical melamine in infant milk powder, chocolate, mainstream milk and exported dairy products

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.

Penny Wong, the minister for Emissions Trading may not only have missed her Ferrari (she implied over the ETS bills that just because they didn't have the quality of a Ferrari it didn't mean you neglect other vehicles) but she and the planet have also missed the bus.

It's amazing how our politicians can believe that the planet still has a chance of survival when nothing they're alleged to be undertaking is working, nor will work for decades. Meanwhile we have methane chimneys in the Arctic, deteriorating ocean life that if it continues means we have a dead ocean. We now have mega fires, mega ice storms, mega storms and mega floods and the politicians think they can still move at their normal gait

Thanks Fog, I instinctively decipher the spin first. Having speculated on Lake Boga being the site for nuclear waste back in 2004 as I was writing The Devil's Trap (2006) I'm totally convinced we're copping the stuff. A private US company was electronically monitoring the water in the area for flow and mineral content. Bob Hawke and an ACTU leader now minister for power promoted Australia as the place for the planet's waste. Along with that ther US waste dumps are leaking in to the olumia River. ASn Englisdh engineer said the dumps he was asked to fix were as big as footballgrounds (2 underground).

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


Hi Norm, if I can work on something for four years the subject begins to talk to me. I started it around 2002 and I came towards it in an interesting and round about way. Brumby shows his colors in every decision.

And Aristotle Onassis stole this famous quote from GBS: "The only rule is that there are no rules." It was paraphrased slightly.

Really like this series fog.

on Obama excuses the torturers...?

April 20th 2009 07:17
Notice Nevar has not given examples of true torture. Anticipation of pain and then the pain applied is of course torture in anyone's language. I have been tortured with dislocation of fingers, belted with knotted ropes, and run naked while being struck, and those have nothing on waterboarding or anal molestation because I was not tied down.

Hey, it just occurred to me that Nevar is sending up a cruel and rampant twit. Sorry.

So what happened to my previous comment on Nevar's pathetic idiocy?

Here's another one. Torture has never worked and all civilised people recognise this. Nevar's obviously a cruel and rampant twit.

YOU'RE RIGHT NORM, IT WAS JUST THAT THE MEDIA (OR ANYONE) WAS RELUCTANT TO TELL US THAT THE WAR SHOULD BE WITH PAKISTAN TERRORISTS.

THE MOB IN POWER IN AFGHANISTAN ARE ALREADY FALLING IN LINE WITH THE TALIBAN. THEY NOW HAVE LEGISLATION ALLOWING HUSBANDS TO RAPE WIVES AND TO IMPRISON THEM IN THE HOUSE. SO MUCH FOR OUR EFFORT THERE.

on GUANTANAMO GREAT RECRUITING AREA FOR SUICIDE BOMBERS

February 24th 2009 04:35
I'm beginning to think that if we don't attack such injustice we are worse than the perpetrators. We know it's wrong; they just ignorantly enjoy it. At least until they have to protect members of their own families. Many such people just disappear off the map, by their own hands.

Theresa I've just heard the lawyer for the British subject who was gaoled for seven years ( spending four in Guantanamo) and who was released this week. His torturers were supported by UK intelligence agents. We have inherited an inhuman world - or is that the human world?
