purity of heart

Looks to me we're in an age of purification by fire. I remember the story of Shadrach, Meschach and Abednego. They went into and came out of the fire. The tempering of iron to become steel, a more orderly molecular structure. The forests are burning at a greater rate. We have to keep redefining what is life.
Simply love.

The Real Weapons of Mass Destruction, and Those Who Won't Give Them Up
by Dr. Helen Caldicott 10/24/5

There are 30,000 nuclear weapons in world. Russia and America have 97 percent of those...The only wmd in the world is the Hydrogen Bomb, which can vaporize and kill about three million people in a flash of light...Britain, France and China are major nuclear powers and they have said that if America and Russia abolish their weapons then they will too...the earth is in the intensive care unit, terminally ill. We have an acute emergency on our hands and I think it should be dealt with not slowly but with great haste...

...All our problems are solvable. But the decision makers governing the world don't understand how science is being applied and how dangerous this direction we are heading is. I think as a physician and a scientist, we must take over the governments of the world and put in scientifically literate people in those offices. Otherwise I think we may not make it...

...There are 40 H Bombs targeted on New York from Russia right now. Russia's early warning system is in decay, none of its satellites work, there are 50 bombs targeted on DC. Every American city and town with a population of 50,000 or more is targeted with at least one Hydrogen Bomb...

...uranium has a half life of 4.5 billion years...

The US is spending a half trillion dollars...It would take a minute amount of that to secure and decommission the nuclear weapons and decommission all the plutonium stockpiles in the world which are hanging around relatively unguarded. Terrorist threat is nothing compared to the threat of a bi-lateral nuclear exchange against America. There is the effects of the explosion, the radioactive fall out and cause a nuclear winter blocking out the sun for a year causing a short ice age with the only thing surviving would probably be the cockroaches and lichen and algae. That could happen tonight...

...There is no dose of radiation that is so low that you can say it causes no harm....

...The nuclear industry is adding enormously to background radiation in our environment, such as irradiating food. This bioconcentrates in the food chain...

...America is using depleted nuclear weapons. releasing millions of tons of uranium 238, (depleted uranium,) causing cancer, environmental poisoning Uranium 238 is a heavy metal, radioactive waste, America is conducting a nuclear war in Iraq, through use of depleted uranium on Iraqis. There is a huge incidence of cancer among the Navajos who are subject to tons of depleted uranium tailings.

In 1991 the US used 360 tons of this in Basra. 3 years after those weapons used, incidence of cancer among children in Iraq increased 7 times. Because of sanctions imposed by US no drugs were/are available for treatment. There has been a severe increase in severe congenital deformities - babies born without brains, with one eye or no eyes, no arms or legs, and because of the half life of uranium 238 this will be present forevermore. Incidence increased 7 times. Some of this caused by presence in semen which is also showing to be in the semen of American servicemen...

Nuclear power contributes substantially to co2 levels and global warming; other global warming gases made as well. Any "environmentalist" in favor of nuclear power as a solution to global warming is scientifically ignorant...

The Department of Energy...continue to make 450 new bombs each year...

If Sec of Energy I would:

1. totally cut off all funding for nuclear power except to fund the decommissioning of every nuclear bomb and every nuclear power plant in America 103 such plants.

2.immediate mandated policy for every American to conserve energy - turn off all lights except what using, no clothes dryers

3.subsidize hybridized cars and make SUVs/Humvees illegal

4. wind farms across US

5.mandate that all new buildings are solar powered with water catchment systems, solar panels on roofs, houses be well insulated and deciduous trees around houses to insulate and shade

6.geothermal heating for buildings

7.biomass energy

8.cogeneration - recycling heat and energy from industry that is currently wasted.

These things would be compulsory. Just like people stop at red lights, they have to conserve energy and if they don't they will be fined...

Act Locally - Invest in Renewables...substantial bicycle trails. fund weatherized, solarized houses, wind farms...grassroots efforts in democracy. Everyone now must take up the torch...

...It's a great privilege and an honor and a sacred trust to live in a democracy...
