Education for the Masses

Everyone in America should read this, and her new book, "The New Nuclear Threat." Dr. Helen Caldicott is one of the most brilliant minds of our time and should be thoroughly thanked for her strength as a human to inform the rest of us about this horrible threat. And to the man who wrote that scaring the "uneducated public" sells books, you obviously don't know anything about Ms. Caldicott, who is fully opposed to capitalism. Shes a socialist, and isn't doing it for the money, shes doing it so you don't die.

A Most Important Truth Facing Survival on Earth: Brilliant

"Helen Caldicott as usual is one of the great saviors of our time. What she says here is absolute truth from my personal experience with the nuclear industry as a scientist sent in to measure radiation leakage from nuclear power plants through the 1970's-80's. This is a filthy, lying industry with no redeeming qualities and when the plants become obsolete they cost even more to clean up than they did to build. It's a mess and the cause of much cancers of all kinds world wide. The nuclear power industry is an unneccessary, damnable mess and should never have happened. Wind, water and solar is the way to go. There's no need for this filty, dangerous industry which hasn't figured out how to dispose of its lethal waste. Nothing on earth is filthier and more lethal!... Listen to Dr. Caldicott. She tells truth that is vital as can be!"...
