WHY SO FEW ARTISTS HAVE JOINED THE ANTI-NUCLEAR BATTLE

Sometimes I have wondered why so few artists have joined the battle to stop the nuclear industry polluting this marveillous planet and to take renewable energy sources as serious alternatives instead.
But after reading some stories of music and entairnment industry it's quite clear: you are singing the songs given to you by those who pay you your money.

It's really strange how Hollywood is concerned about Dalai Lama, Darfur or animal rights but nobody is reacting when people are getting ill and dying of radiation in Japan, or thousands of pet animals and cows are left to starve to death in no go zone around Fukushima Daichi! It's really OK to be worried about human rights but it shouldn't be selective.

This opinion is also made clear by a japanese actor Taro Yamamoto who lose his job by joining anti-nuclear rally in Japan to save the children of Fukushima. Link- MAJIROX-NEWS:

Taro Yamamoto tells why he is involved in anti-nuclear movement. Link - Shingetsu - youtube-video:

In the very end of this revealing video this actor speaks out about this Hollywood-nuclear thing.

There are other artists making antinuclear songs but they are few at the moment. one of them is a former US Congressman, John Hall. He sings on this video his new song "I Told You So".

A brand new anti-nuke reggae -video from Japan is worth watching - Rankin Taxi & Dub Ainu Band : "Radioactive Material: You Can't See It, and You Can't Smell It Either"

I hope there will be lots of artists making new songs and movies of this theme so vital for us all. It takes courage to fight against big money and political/economical influence.

It also takes a lot of faith and courage to make songs on amateur basis as this (a little funny) example shows out. Again there's a new anti-nuclear song of Carlos F-Major - the man of strange music and odd stories  http://www.carlosf-major.hostoi.com/  . His new song tells about Talvivaara -mine in northern Finland that has asked Finnish parliament for permission to mine and enrich uranium. There have already been critical leaks on the waste material ponds of the facility and Finnish magazines have told that the company didn't find it necessary to tell the staff that they are mining uranium as well as other minerales - to avoid unnecessary fears among the workers.
By the way, I think SOLARWINDPRONET is also mentioned in that blues when he sings: "Solarwind is blogging, we're running out of time", (or what do you think? ) ENENEWS is mentioned for certain: "ENENEWS is giving information online"! :-)

I wish you all sunny days! (So do also my solar collectors for warming up the house. In a couple of weeks they will begin warming up nicely - until then I continue using wooden pellets in central heating.)

FUKUSHIMA DAICHI REACTOR 2 IS HEATING UP ONCE MORE - TEMPERATURE OVER 70 DEGREES CENTIGRADE - RECRITICALITY POSSIBLE

FD reactor number 2 is showing signs of heating up. TEPCO doesn't know what is happening inside the crippled reactor. They have been adding the amount of injected water but it has had only minor influence on reactor temperature. The accident is far from being over. Hiroshi Tasaka, nuclear engineer and the former adviser of Japan's then Prime Minister Naoto Kan is using metafora "Pandoras Box" for nuclear power in Japan. For more information, follow the links.

I FEEL BAD ALSO FOR THE JAPANESE BIRDS THAT HAVE TO EAT HIGHLY RADIOACTIVE INSECTS AND EARTHWORMS.
The amount of birds at fallout region has been falling down last year after FD-accident. International study shows out that the birds and insects are in trouble in Japan.

1,37 million bequerels/kg of earthworms 60 km from Fukushima. SO - 1,37 MILLION RADIOACTIVE  DISINTEGRATIONS PER SECOND! THOSE WORMS COULD BE SELF- LUMINATING :-)

No wonder why birds are disappearing!  Link - Enenews:

I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON TO THINK THAT UNDERESTIMATING THE RADIATION DANGERS AND THE ACCEPTANCE OF USE OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS ARE RELATED

After having written my latest opinion on my blog about low level radiation acceptance and nuclear weapons, I found a news and critical opinions offering website where this issue was discussed.

LINK - Global Research :  http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=20060217&articleId=1988

There are also many articles about Nuclear power and Fukushima Daichi -accident. Nuclear Engineer Arnie Gundersen estimates that Japan Daichi Accident costs 250 billion dollars. He is of that opinion that Wall street will end nuclear era in USA because of very high investment costs of nuclear power - a new reactor is costing now 10 - 20 billion dollars. If a severe accident occurs  the plant is lost for ever. Economical risks are huge.
