My Solution To Prevent The New World Order
Many people these days are blindly following traditions, leading their lives to boredom, and unrealization of Truth. There is an agenda many call, "New World Order." Many people are not aware of this threat, but many are becoming aware of it everyday. I believe, very soon, that the mass majority of people will stand up to this threat, and attempt to overthrow it. This is known as a Revolution. Though in order to defeat the New World Order, you must not attempt such a violent revolt. What we perceive with our five senses, is NOT reality. Life is but a dream, thus death being our awakening. Most do not accept this, but I advise you to research EVERYTHING. The ONLY conspiracy is the one preventing us to REMEMBER our TRUE nature and instincts of life. We are more powerful than you think. Though living in this dream with a mind set of Revolution with the help of violent protest, will NOT even NUDGE the New World Order. It is useless. Revolution is an illusion, perceived by us to conditionally think as the solution. The ONLY solution, is EVOLUTION. RISE up and reclaim your destiny. It's not time to wake up yet. It's only time to realize, that THIS is the dream. And dreams come true. Time to grow up. Time to evolve. Evolution Is Now. RISE.
Greenpeace files complaints on Areva nuclear leaks
PARIS (Reuters) - Greenpeace France filed two complaints against nuclear power company Areva over an uranium leak this month that triggered public outrage, as well as older leaks that were later found on the same site.
On July 7, Areva accidentally poured around 18 cubic meters of liquid containing uranium, which was not enriched, onto the ground and into the river at the Tricastin nuclear site, prompting local authorities to launch an official enquiry.
"Greenpeace hopes that all the light will be shed on the radioactive leak of this month but also on older leaks and their origin," the group said in a statement on Thursday.
"We especially want responsibilities to be clearly established and sanctions to be taken," it added.
Greenpeace lodged the two complaints with the public prosecutor of Carpentras in southeast France. If the complaints are upheld, Areva could face fines of up to 75,000 euros ($117,200) per complaint and up to two years of imprisonment for the manager in charge.
Areva was not immediately available for comment.
French anti-nuclear group Sortir du Nucleaire also said this week it was launching legal action over the Tricastin incident.
The second complaint Greenpeace launched concerned the discovery of radioactive waste buried in a hill under a layer of earth at Tricastin, which had also leaked.
"This storage, in unacceptable conditions on the Areva site, shows neglect and an unlawful storage of radioactive waste," the group added.

EPA Gagged: What Does Agency Have to Hide?
EPA Gagged: What Does Agency Have to Hide?
It seems the Environmental Protection Agency has something to hide.
If it didn’t, there would be no need for the memo e-mailed June 16 to EPA employees directing them to keep quiet if they are contacted by a reporter. More startling, the memo tells EPA staff to stay mum if they are approached by the EPA’s own inspector general’s office or investigators from the Government Accountability Office.
“Please do not respond to questions or make any statements,” the e-mail advises agency staff. It states that questions or requests for information or documents should be directed to senior staff members who, apparently, know how to keep the agency’s ducks in a line.
Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, an environmental group that calls itself an alliance of state and federal environmental professionals, obtained the e-mail and posted it on its Web site.
The gag order is especially troubling since the EPA has come under fire recently for inappropriate political entanglements. The Associated Press reported that the memo was a response to a May 2007 audit by the inspector general’s office that found the EPA did not respond earlier to IG reports on problems with water enforcement and other issues.
Moreover, the agency has done nothing to regulate CO2 emissions despite a Supreme Court ruling clarifying that the EPA has authority to do so. On Tuesday, four Democratic senators, all members of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, called for the resignation of EPA administrator Stephen Johnson and asked Attorney General Michael Mukasey to investigate whether Johnson lied to another Senate committee and put politics ahead of its mission.
In January, Johnson testified that he alone had made the decision to prohibit the state of California from regulating vehicle emissions more stringently than the federal government. A former EPA official has disputed Johnson’s statement, saying Johnson had been about to grant California a partial waiver but had been pressured by the White House to change his mind.
During World War II, the term “loose lips sink ships” meant the war could be jeopardized by letting secrets out. The EPA is not fighting a war, but it obviously fears that the truth could put it in a bad light. If there is a battle, the agency should be on the side of full disclosure, not lined up with the Bush White House and polluters against the environment and the health of Americans.
A new Apollo project needed to solve the energy crisis

Article Last Updated: 08/02/2008 01:50:55 PM MDT
Last month we saw a Utah Republican congressional full-court press in favor of the oil and gas industries.
Heir-apparent to the 3rd Congressional District Jason Chaffetz flew to Alaska and returned with the startling revelation that the energy crisis was solely the fault of Democrats. First Congressional District Rep. Rob Bishop notified his constituents via a slick newsletter that we need more oil, gas and coal.
Finally, our senior senators joined forces to write an op-ed that gored the Democrats for all our energy woes, declaring all this country needs is a second dance with costly oil-shale and subsidized nuclear power.
With a dysfunctional Congress, both parties can claim a portion of the blame for high gas prices and a lack of sensible energy policy.
The question still begs as to what Bishop and Sens. Orrin Hatch and Bob Bennett were doing to further their current goals for the oil industry from 2001 to 2007, when their party controlled Congress and the White House. It is more revealing to look further back to the much-maligned President Carter who, in 1979, during the first oil crunch, set goals for our country so we'd never see a second energy crisis.
Carter proposed that U.S. automakers attain a whopping 48-mile-per-gallon fuel efficiency by 1995. He demanded that we curtail imported oil by imposing fees. Finally, Carter proposed windfall taxes on oil
companies to fund alternative energy and a goal of generating 20 percent of our power from solar by 2000.
What happened? It would be nice to see an explanation from Hatch, since he was a three-year senator in 1979. His explanation not forthcoming, my presumption is Carter's visionary energy goals were tossed on the trash heap, along with the solar panels he'd installed on the White House, when Ronald Reagan moved in.
America then increased dependency on foreign oil and forfeited automobile innovation to Japan. Middle East oil-rich dictatorships went on to become even wealthier and more entrenched.
A small patch of Alaskan wilderness, coastal drilling, oil-shale magic, nuclear power subsidies, less regulation on fabulously wealthy companies - these will make us energy independent and gasoline inexpensive again?
How many times will we buy these fables before our elected officials are laughed out of office? What party repeatedly fought any increase in Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards until a pathetic compromise of 35 mpg by 2020 was passed last year?
GOP mocking of Carter's energy policy has been redirected toward Al Gore, who challenged this country with an apparently hysterical goal of energy independence using renewable sources within a decade.
This country retooled its entire industrial sector nearly overnight in order to fight World War II. America fulfilled President Kennedy's challenge to land on the moon in under a decade. Yet become energy independent with renewable technology in the same amount of time? Sorry, we'll leave that kind of innovation to advanced countries like Brazil, Denmark, Iceland and Sweden.
Solving our energy problems by loosing the reins on the oil, gas and coal companies is a deal that requires us to forget 30 years of history. This bargain ignores the hidden health costs of polluted air and water and insists that consumption of energy is not correlated to the price.
In spite of their feel-good commercials, these companies are not here to solve our energy and pollution problems. They're here to make a profit.
America not only needs leadership that understands the full spectrum of energy sources, but also has the courage to seek the unknown again. The Manhattan and Apollo projects were not efforts undertaken for a profit.
Rather these projects are an example of an uniquely American way to solve difficult problems: Our best scientists were given a goal and full support to reach it quickly. Science is the solution to the energy crisis.
