Fukushima: Discharge of Tritium Harms Human Body – South Korean Scientists Confirm! (28.4.2023)

“Those discharges could begin as early as July, possibly later, and continue for many decades, not just the 30 years but maybe 50, 60, 70, 80 years. Next century is really possible,” said Burnie.

“This is water that’s radioactive in tanks, so it’s the deliberate decision to pollute and contaminate the environment, which doesn’t need to take place because actually there is sufficient storage space in the two districts next to the Fukushima nuclear power plant,” he noted.

Burnie was also skeptical of Japan’s claim that the contaminated water could be diluted through an advanced liquid processing system (ALPS).

“This is water that has come in direct contact with a reactor, a nuclear fuel that suffered a severe melt, which means fission products within the nuclear fuel became in direct contact with water,” the specialist said.

“It’s unclear how successfully the ALPS system processes the water. Around 70 percent of the water in the tanks still needs to undergo further processing. So, we still don’t know how effective it’s going to be. It can’t be discharged as it is at the moment,” he added.

Xinhua Commentary: America’s Toxic Relations with Allies-Xinhua! (23.4.2023)

In essence, the so-called alliance system established by the United States is to rule the world and reap its interests globally. Many of its allies have realized that blindly following in the footsteps of the United States will only lead to a loss in the end.

The United States demands its allies follow suit in containing China, but mostly receives only hesitation as a response. According to the U.S.-based Politico news service, any move Europe does make could fall far short of what the Biden administration wants in terms of isolating China economically.

“The leaders of Europe’s largest economies are openly saying they are not interested in decoupling and by extension, meaningful sanctions on China in the event of conflict,” Politico quoted a U.S. official who requested anonymity as saying.

In a rapidly changing international landscape, the United States faces numerous challenges regarding its economy and people’s livelihoods. Its hegemonic aspirations are starting to weaken, and its so-called “commitments” to allies ring hollow.

Those who unite for profit will scatter when profits are exhausted. The current U.S. alliance system has been plagued by frequent leaks and flaws, and although the facade remains intact, its internal structure has begun to crack.

Pokemon Go: Technological Brainwashing – You’ve Got to Catch Them All! (19.4.2023)

I have heard cases of people (of all ages and genders) mindlessly following the instructions linked to these entirely ‘virtual’ games and getting into ‘real time’ trouble in the (existing) material world! This includes breaking into people’s homes, walking out into traffic or onto rail-tracks and ‘stepping-off’ bridges and other high platforms! This stupidity comes about as the instructions controlling these games stipulate that if the player follows the instruction in just the right way – then a ‘miraculous’ (computer generated) image will suddenly become visible on the digitalised screen! Players have been so absorbed in the game that when challenged by ‘real’ Police (often ‘armed’) – they carry-on playing – treating the Police as an unnecessary ‘interference’ in their quest to ‘catch them all’! Of course, I must avoid the allegation of being a ‘Luddite’ – but people should take better care of their Mental Health and strive to realise exactly what the Big Tech Companies are doing with your free-will! You are basically conforming to the norms of predatory capitalism by your conscious mind being put to sleep!

New Scientist: It’s As Funny as Reservoir Dogs! (16.4.2023)

And then there are all the atomic ‘test’ explosions initiated by the US after WWII (which included exposing US Serviceman to nuclear poisoning) – and the numerous atomic ‘accidents’ that happened in the US throughout the Cold War (which the US government does not want you to know about or discuss)! The genetic damage inflicted upon the environment (and everything in it) is ongoing and forever expanding! This compendium of US (capitalist) disaster is compounded by the fact that American nuclear weapons have gone ‘missing’ and which includes countries such as Apartheid South Africa and Zionist Israel defying the International community and test-exploding nuclear weapons!

Philippines: Why the Vatican Ordered Attacks on The Beatles! (7.4.2023) 

In many ways this story of The Beatles exemplifies the era (and contradictions) inherent in the 1960s! There were definitely Revolutionary (dialectical) forces in operation not just in the West – but throughout the world! Paul McCartney would pen a song entitled ‘Back in the USSR’ (about a Cold War Soviet spy returning from service in the US – where he understood just how ‘bad’ life is for the average person living under capitalism) and John Lennon would write a song entitled ‘Revolution’ – and record at least 18 versions of it within which he ‘might’ or ‘might not’ support a violent ‘Revolution’ depending upon how he felt on the day!

DPRK: Does the NATO Secretary-General’s Actions Encourage the Creation of an “Asian version of NATO”? (4.4.2023)

It is clear that the DPRK will firmly reject and resist this passive support for US expansion into our region. It is only a matter of time before the military equipment supplied to NATO by South Korea and Japan will start flowing onto the battlefields of Ukraine. South Korea and Japan, which are trying to attract uninvited guests to the region to see what is on sale, should know that far from resolving security anxiety, they are getting closer to an extreme security crisis.

There is nothing good about NATO, a byword for war and confrontation, of putting military boots into the region. The NATO Secretary-General’s actions in South Korea and Japan are a confrontational action and a prelude to a war that brings the toxic cloud of a new “Cold War” to the Asia-Pacific region! Regional countries and the international community should raise their awareness as much as possible about NATO’s increasing steps towards the Asia-Pacific!
