Comments on: Robert Alvarez with more on Fukushima and the enormous risks of nuclear power, weapons and waste https://ifyoulovethisplanet.org/?p=6194 A weekly radio program with Dr. Helen Caldicott Fri, 29 May 2026 14:51:23 +0000 https://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Steve Moyer https://ifyoulovethisplanet.org/?p=6194&cpage=1#comment-1729 Steve Moyer Mon, 09 Jul 2012 23:07:28 +0000 https://ifyoulovethisplanet.org/?p=6194#comment-1729 I am blown away by the importance of the information revealed in this program. I'm going to have to listen again and take notes on it. My one big question is: Is there any U.S. poltiician which has revealed this information to the American people? And my follow-up question is "If not, why not?" This is the stuff of an enlightened democracy. We should be talking about how hot money corrupts the entire polticial process, not just getting elected to public office. It's clear to me that a lot of people have their hand in the cookie jar on the nuclear issue. The secrecy is another aspect of this conspiracy. We really ought to be talking about the "nuclear conspiracy" because it unites the energy and weapons aspects into a single phenomenon, which in truth they are.

Helen is the only one talking about the issue that chernobyl has rods in them for only 3 months and fukushima had rods in them for 4 and half years? And the spent fuel has plutonium 239 in it?
