Nuclear Hotseat

• The Nobel Peace Prize announcement from Oslo, Norway, and press conference interview with Beatrice Fihn, Executive Director of ICAN - International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.
  
• Straight talk on North Korea from Bob Alvarez, a senior scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies, who served as a senior policy advisor to the Secretary and Deputy Assistant Secretary for National Security and the Environment during the Clinton administration, 1993-1999.  One of the few Americans who actually visited a North Korean nuclear facility, he understands the politics, pressures and which way lies madness. 

That danged human error launched a torpedo into a UK nuclear dockyard!  All the nuclear "safeguards" in the world won't add up to much against the actions of a Darwin-adjacent nominee.

A new monthly feature with Nancy Foust of Simply Info bringing us all the latest information on the triple meltdown at Fukushima, with context and interpretation to understand not only what's happening, but what it means.  

Deny deny deny deny -- whether it's in Southern California or northeastern Japan, the nuclear industry depends on repeating its lies so many times -- especially to CHILDREN -- that it sounds like truth... but it is not the truth! (Thanks to www.Nuclear-News.net for story and picture of website, below.)
