Greenham Common Women.

I've heard a lot of talk this last few years, about the evils of our overlords, but very, very, little in the way of "principles of resistance".

In that vein, I would like to publically salute the Women of Greenham common who endured extreme viscitudes for literally years on end to get a class of foreign theatre nuclear weapons removed from the soil of my country. If any of you have mothers who were a part of that movement, give them a little bit of respect for what they eventually accomplished.

  • Hi I Sperg, I remember the CGW well. They were regular headline makers in the early-to-mid 80's. Apart from raising consciousness about the issue, though, I'm not sure they had any significant impact. We still bought Trident eventually and nuclear weapons are just as widespread as ever. In fact, many would argue that a nuclear conflict is more likely now than at any other time.

  • Since they solved miniaturisation some years ago, (I believe by using an alternate source of neutrons obviating the requirement to have a critical mass to supply sufficient neutrons to sustain fission) it is widely rumoured that nuclear weapons have already been casually and stealthily deployed deployed in recent conflicts. The only good thing about nuclear weapons is that they still use plutonium and thus degrade over time as the "metal" transitions spontaneously from one phase to another, less useful in nuclear weapons physics phase. There is a real possibility that nuclear weapons will soon become old hat, when the newer physics of "nucleonics" gains enough traction. You'll get your flying cars then as well.

    Although from what I can gather, our secret leaders (or "caretakers" if you prefer) are doing their utmost to suppress all progress in that particular science, whilst they carry on trying to mould us into beings fit enough to join the cosmic society without starting a war within five minutes.

    O.K. The last paragraph is a fantastic explanation cooked up by myself in an effort to join up all the loose ends and rationalise the the mess that we seem to be in despite all the wonders of technology. But the rest of it is as far as I can determine pretty factual. "Plastic" in particular I'd like you to go and google nuclear weapon used in yemen and review the footage. I watched a lot of it back when it was coming out and that ccd speckling appeared across multiple devices and looked a LOT like the CCD destruction footage that came out of Fukushima.

    There are clearly two issues" with Depleted Uranium , explains David Brenner of Columbia University's School of Public Health, "the radiation and the toxicological issue." Indeed, not only is depleted uranium potentially dangerous because of its radioactivity, it is also a strong toxin. 

  • They are deliberately overstating the radiological as a scare for know-nothing dummies.

    DU is used everywhere as shielding in radioactive installations - and as packaging fro the transport of radiopharms.

    I'm stunned by the lack of awareness and cheap scaremongering.
