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.
America is the Nation in a glasshouse which keeps throwing stones.
Arrric Barrrdrin!
absolutely correct. Thanks for stepping forward. You made my day.
Thank you. I think they drew attention to the issue. The TV coverage used to compare the size of each side's bombs, like kids on a playground comparing the size of their members.
Sunday afternoons were pretty comic, I used to get missiles thrown at me over rows about it all - carrots and similar looking objects. I just didn't want to be incinerated in a minute, or worse, survive such a thing. And why should the rest of the anet have to be destroyed over this lunacy too?
There are still way too many nukes about too
thanks, the demos helped
I used to visit Greenham Common and Upper Heyford to take part in demonstrations.
aidie said:Biological Warfare
That's the term I was thinking of not Chemical. Just couldn't find it in my brain. Thanks aidie
New Nuclear missiles are being build all the time.
Deadly Human viruses are being/have been developed as is the vaccines against them but that is top secret. no one will ever admit to that.
In 2008, according to U.S. Congressional Research Service,,,
China,Cuba,Egypt,Iran,Israel,North Korea,Russia,Syria,Taiwan are considered, with varying degrees of certainty, to have some Biological Warfare capability.
By 2011, 165 countries had officially joined the BWC( Biological Weapons Convention) and pledged to disavow biological weapons.
on side note
I was trained and practised front line biological warfare and first aid
My first aid kit was plastic bags and sellotape/string.
with orders to isolate/abandon biological victims in marked & locked rooms/vehicles until we could "process" them.
It's also not really worth invading somewhere when a simple brown envelope full of cash will get their sleazy politicians eating out of your hand.
Nuc’s have run themselves out of date. It’s all about cyber war fare and “chemical” attacks. It’s far cheaper to shut down a country from a laptop than mobilising a fully armed force.
I mean, can you imagine what would happen if a country released a mildly deadly virus across the world just to test what the effects would be if a really deadly one was released!
Yeah - alpha and beta shielding is quite easy - gamma is difficult and Neutron is nasty. Water is cheap and effective.
Was that when Alec Baldwin worked for the CIA and Sean Connery was a submarine Captain?
Is that because of the neutron moderating properties of water?
If you look on Youtube at videos showing nuclear fuel-rod handling, you'll get an idea of the radiation effects - also, note the age of the film - some installations have been around for years so the old CCTV Vidicons will be used - potato cam - but the more modern ones will be CCD - and also they might be fitted behind Lead glass for protection.
I did experiments with sealed CCDs inside water jackets on tilt/pan mounts to help them survive - it took their life expectancy from 4 weeks to 3 months.
Sometimes it's good to be corrected, it really is.
Some of that yemeni stuff looked mighty suspicious, but if you've been walking the walk and it ccd's do not work like that, then it's another conspiracy theory proven false.
And that one did trouble me a little..
and its not scaremongering . The scientific evidence is growing everyday.
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.
The government didn't give one crap about a bunch of rabble bothering an airbase - they were just a continuos training exercise for the base security.
Decades ago.
yes that is true. Those are the ones that "get out"
