Call it Heavy Metal

It no longer appears in your news although it should. Further proof that what you watch on television is a total load of crap designed to keep you passive and make you believe that everything is ok. It was there briefly many months ago, but now, if the media were to tell you what is really going on you might actually have something to say about it. A quarter of a century ago the world watched in horror as Chernobyl melted down and exploded, but now, with all the fun little distractions found on your phone and computer, people can’t take the time to care about the fact that they are being poisoned by radioactive elements so toxic, that modern science doesn’t really know how to handle them. People don’t care that the disaster at Fukushima is many orders of magnitude worse than anything we have ever seen. Only full-scale nuclear war could exceed it.

I could go on and quote figures and facts. I cold tell you that it is in your air, your food, your water, and on the surface of almost anything that you touch out of doors. It is in the rain and the snow as well. Right now, chances are, it is in your body. But what would be the point of telling people all of that? They still wouldn’t care. It is something that is out of sight, and thanks to the complicit media, out of mind. However, if you are interested, go take a look for yourself. Hit that internet and use it for something other than your own personal satisfaction. Use it, for once, to actually educate yourself.

Most people never stop to think that the cancer rate is somewhere around 50%. Guess what? It is going to go even higher. Next time you stop to talk to a friend, take a moment to realize that one of you, and perhaps even both of you, will die from cancer, unless you are lucky enough to get hit by a car. That is the reality that we face.

If you say that I am simply a fear mongering prick, feel free to ask yourself who put those words in your mouth. We have poisoned the planet and that is a fact that is inescapable. The impact will be devastating and far reaching. The children of our children’s grandchildren will still be feeling the effects of Fukushima. Anyone that tells you differently is selling you something. Birth defects, infertility, cancers of bone and blood - this is the future of the world, given to you by the miracle of nuclear energy.

As for Japan? I feel so deeply for them. Many of them do not know what hell has been unleashed upon their ancient and beautiful culture. All that history, culture, and technical innovation will soon be a thing of the past as many of them die from one wasting disease or another. There time has passed. We can only watch helplessly as their country slips away.

Perhaps the most amazing thing about all of this is the fact that despite all that has already transpired, it has a very good change of getting worse. The cores of those reactors are still the most dangerous thing on the planet right now. They are hot and slowly melting their way down into the ground. As if poisoning the air and the sea were not enough, now we have to worry that they will poison the very earth itself.

If they haven’t already.
