  • NH #432: Nuclear Launch Codes + Impeachment Inquiry = ??? Garrett Graff, author, Raven Rock, on Govt's Secret Plan to Survive while the Rest Of Us Die

    Nuclear Launch Codes, referred to as the Nuclear Football, follow the president everywhere, carried by a military attache and stashed in a briefcase (pictured) making it possible for him to launch a nuclear strike at any country at any time.  Yes, even now.  Is there any recourse to this insanity, should Trump decide to go rogue? 

    This Week's Featured Interview:

    • Nuclear Launch Codes are in the hands of the president, under his sole authority to launch a nuclear bomb strike anywhere in the world.  Is there any recourse?  Garrett Graff,  author of  RAVEN ROCK: The Story of the US Government’s Secret Plan to Save Itself while the Rest of Us Die, explains the workings of the so-called "nuclear football" which contains the nuclear bomb launch codes, plus the survival plan for our "leaders" that lets them (maybe) survive while the rest of the world dies.  Quite a pertinent discussion to have in this era of impeachment inquiry, don't you think?

    Numnutz of the Week (for Outstanding Nuclear Boneheadedness):

    The Vatican wades into nuclear waters to influence policy - yet another form of abuse the priests are inflictin in another place they really do not belong!

    Keep Space 4 Peace Week - an international action
    to help us protect our ability to have a future. 



    • Robert Hunziker article from Counterpunch on Fukushima's Radioactive Water Crisis,  with no answer to the ongoing dilemma of what to do about the  tritium-contaminated water being held on-site and the 170,000 tons of  radioactive water created every day. 
    • In keeping with Keep Space 4 Peace week and all anti-war activists, there's a New Study that Documents Depleted Uranium Impacts on Children in Iraq.  You don't need a fireball to commit nuclear war; just releasing vast quantities of "depleted" uranium (which is still plenty lethal) will destroy your enemies over generations.

  • Nuclear Numnutz of the Year 2018 REDUX
    Nuclear Numnutz deja vu because, let’s face it, with nukes, everything old is new again, and again, and again… So we take a look back at 2018 through the lens of Nuclear Hotseat’s most popular feature, Numnutz of the Week. Listen to the “wacky” antics of the world’s most dangerous technology as it sails through:
    Japan’s hard work to “normalize” Fukushima and its radiation so the tourists dumb enough to show up for the 2020 Radioactive Tokyo Olympics will think that everything is AOK!
    US nuclear crews who opt for “high” crimes and misdemeanors – not once but twice!
    Ancient, decrepit or just irrelevent so-called “experts” opining to a transfixed mainstream media in support of nukes… when they have nothing to do with them
    The ongoing Fukushima Food Fight – whether it’s propaganda on the ground selling Fuku sake to New York hipsters or Japan taking South Korea and now Taiwan to the World Trade Organization to try to ram Fukushima fish down the throats of safety-conscious residents of other countries.
    Department of Energy playing word games to make us believe that high level waste is really low level waste – and when the citizens arise against you, with good cause, just invest your money in a good PR firm.
    Nuclear Regulatory Commission incompetence in letting reactors operate at full power during “snow cyclones” and hurricanes, forgetting that there’s no way to evacuate or get emergency crews on site because, hey, “snow cyclone” and/or hurricane.
    …and much much more!
    All of it leading to that Numnutz of all Numnutz for 2018, which is…
    Well, you’ll have to listen to find out!
