Today is Hiroshima Day... and the Fukushima reactor is out of control spewing its atomic poison.
And, as we come together to say "never again," the nuclear question
continues to plague Japan and haunt the rest of world as if humanity has
learned nothing.
Perhaps the
greatest lesson from the barbaric and savage atom bombing of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki, and now the Fukushima disaster, has yet to be learned:
that we cannot allow these hideous creatures of the secretive corporate
world the most dangerous of them all from the
Military-Financial-Industrial Complex at the helm in the most "advanced"
countries to dominate human society any longer because their one and
only concern is for the bottom line of maximum corporate profits.
"Ironic" doesn't seem like the proper word to use but there is
something horrible and horrific and terribly wrong in the fact that as
the peoples of the world come together to insist that nuclear war shall
never be unleashed on any peoples anywhere for any reason ever again,
the same grouping of industrialists who profit from keeping this insane
nuclear arms race spiraling out of control are the very same parasitical
profiteers who have created this nuclear mess in Fukushima without the
common people having had any say but in the end getting stuck with the
consequences--- and the bill--- while TRYING to clean up this mess.
Another irony is that our fellow concerned citizens, members of the
Plowshares Movement, are sitting in jail facing very long prison
sentences for taking the initiative to draw the consequences of this
nuclear insanity to our attention hoping we will join them in action:

There is something wrong with the picture here--- those who have made
the decisions to carry out the most barbaric and savage acts of
intentionally dropping atomic bombs on two huge civilian populations and
those corporate heads who have bribed corrupt politicians to give them
the "right" to knowingly build an unsafe nuclear power plant which now
contaminates large areas of the world's oceans, the air we breath, the
water we drink and the land food grows on... these corporate criminals
walk away free--- and richer.
The entire business class should
be the ones sent into Fukushima to clean up this mess not poor working
people for whom this rotten capitalist system has no other employment
for.
Put the entire business class in shackles and chains and
march them off to their deaths trying to clean up the mess in Fukushima.
This is the just punishment they deserve... no cold, dark prison cells,
unsafe coal mines or sped-up factory assembly lines for them.
