Clean green nuclear war machine


  Green Lockheed-Martin's F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. 

 

Most world class planet and people trashers, including Exxon-Mobil, Chevron, Peabody Coal, Dupont, Dow Chemical, Coca Cola, Barrick Gold, Monsanto, Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Eison, and, even Halliburton, have given their corporate images the new Green Brand.

And, most belong to the globally sociopathic World Business Council for Sustainable Development, and the Wildlife Habitat Council, a non-profit conglomerate devoted to “stewarding” large tracts of land for the corporations, after getting rid of the people in the name of the critters.  

Even the Pentagon has developed a Green Brand, and its own Green Brand press clips, as has Lockheed Martin., on its Going Green web page.  Lockheed-Martin manufactures nearly all the U.S. military's jet fighter bombers, including the trillion $ fleet of F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, wired to deliver a larger "payload," meaning more bombs, conventional or nuclear, than the F-22 or other combat planes sent out to clear the air space ahead of it.

Northrop Grumman, manufacturer of the U.S. Navy's nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, created a web page to tell the tale of its Tree Musketeers, who planted 120 trees between Los Angeles International Airport and the California Coast in a "Trees to the Sea" campaign, and a Green NG Initiative to develop green weapons manufactures of the future.   

General Dynamics', manufacturer of the U.S. Navy's nuclear-powered submarines, seems less concerned with its Green Brand, though it has issued the usual declaration of commitment to the environment, and has not only a green jet engine contract, but also 20 web pages of "Green Jobs," including "battle staff trainer," and, a great many Information Tech (IT)  jobs requiring security clearances, polygraph tests, and/or  "deployment."  

Given all the corporate public relations departments now promoting the Green Brand, including clean, green nuclear power, I can already hear someone hollering back at me here, “What's the matter with nuclear, Lady?  Those nuclear-powered carriers and subs are clean green machines.”

To which I'd have to respond with the Wikipedia's list of  nuclear submarines at the bottom of the ocean, and other nuclear sub accidents, including one, in my hometown of origin, Bremerton, Washington, home of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, in 1983, and, another in my current hometown, San Francisco, where the nuclear-powered U.S.S. Guitarro sank to the bottom of San Francisco Bay, off  Mare Island, in 1969.

I'm still hoping that, despite the advance of the "nuclear renaissance," to profit on global warming, nobody's gonna holler, “Hey Lady, what's the matter with nuclear missiles? Those are clean green bombs.”

    Atomic weapons may actually be the greenest thing the human race has ever done. We were having major wars every 20 generations. Now we are more than 60 years since the WWII. Huge standing armies are no longer necessary to defend borders. Fear can be green.
    Uranium enrichment plants were originally built to manufacture fission bombs up to 1/2 megaton. Once the H-bomb was developed, the enrichmant plants became devoted to making fuel for atomic power plants. As a result of this, we have a fusion component in our energy supply. The enrichment tolls were a large subsidity to governments by the civilian power sector until governments got out of the uranium enrichment business. Atomic power and hydroelectricty are the only useful "green" sources of energy. It is difficult to show all those windmills do any good because their backup power is less efficient than base load power. Converting the planet to "renewable energy" will require more than a decade worth of world steel production, even if it works. Building the required ~25,000 GWe atomic power by 2080 to mitigate CO2 will require approximately 3 years worth of steel production. Each nuke delays CO2 doubling one week.

    Imagine how green the world will become when we are no longer here.

    The production of Free energy was demonstrated over 100 years ago by Nicola Tesla, Nathan Stubblefield, John Worrel Keely and a couple of other researchers. In 1930 Dr. Henry Moray was able to produce 50,000 watts (About $120 worth per day) of free energy with a generator he built. The development of free energy has been intentionally blocked to allow our Holy Royal financier contract murder for hire crowd to continue with their war criminal activities against the human race, intending to finally smite us all with nuclear weapons.

    The nuclear industry is a criminal industry dedicated to the destruction of the human race by continuing to move forward with plans to engage us in an unnecessary all out general nuclear war.

    They've sold us out.

    We the Living dead.
