March 11th 2014, 3 years since the Fukishima Meltdown
Published on March, 15 2014Yesterday I attended a forum sponsored by Human Rights Now in Japan, the YWCA of Japan and Taiwan, Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR)and International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW)
From the horrendous effects Uranium mining has left behind as tailings and dust to the 240,000 years it takes spent radioactive waste to detoxify... Why anyone supports nuclear energy has always been beyond me...
The UN is creating Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
As of now they are PROMOTING NUCLEAR ENERGY as a Sustainable and Renewable energy source for the future!
If you don't think that this is the most ridiculous and HORRENDOUS advocacy for one of the MOST EXPENSIVE and TOXIC sources of energy, then I have some information for you!
" Malthus argued a century and a half ago that man, by using up all his available resources, would forever press on the limits of subsistence, thus condemning humanity to an indefinite future of misery and poverty. We can now begin to hope and, I believe, know that Malthus was expressing not a law of nature, but merely the limitation then of scientific and social wisdom. The truth or falsity of his prediction will depend now, with the tools we have, on our own actions, now and in the years to come."
— John F. Kennedy
March 11th 2014 is the 3rd Anniversary of the Fukishima Meltdown.
The travesty continues and we must engage in a global dialogue that ends the impunity of the Japanese Government in denying the scientific facts about the effects of Radiation on human and environmental health.
An important aspect of the knowledge on health effects is that women and children- for our smaller body sizes and women for the unique cells of our boidies- like breast tissue, we and our sisters are especially vulnerable and more likely to fall victim to the sicknesses and immune weaknesses caused by radiation. As mothers and potential mothers we face infertility, stillbirth, weak infants, and infants that may carry and pass on effects of radiation for generations.
We learned so much from Chernobyl (April 26th 1986). Today we are allowing the Japanese Government and other Governments around the world to spread nuclear propaganda that is scientifically false. This must end and we must help spread the truth.
For the People of Fukishima Japan
For the People of Chernobyl Ukraine
For the People of the SW USA and of S Central and the N tip of Australia who must bear the present and future burdens of Uranium mines.
Please write to the UN, to the Japanese Government, to your friends and families!
And write to Human Rights Now and share messages of hope and support with the Japanese People!
This is a long slow atomic bomb that is already exponentially worse than the Hiroshima and Nagasaki tragedies.
Yours Truly
With Courage and Peace
