The novel focuses on the intertwining agendas of the Christian Zionists and neocons of the Bush/Cheney crowd. It also is the fantasy of how the sisters stop the Bush election theft and the the 8-year nightmare we've lived through. DU and Gulf War syndrome are touched on, as are homophobia and global warming. Jesus even makes a major appearance.]]>Comment on LT. COL.

Not For the Faint of Heart! ---------------------------------------------- The church bells in the Ukraine are ringing in remembrance of Chernobyl.. Every member of Congress should watch the following film before authorizing another nuclear power plant. Click play after the first few pictures.

The Roy Process is photon transmutation to zero radioactivity. This includes uranium 238, most of DU before it is exploded and can create electricity from the heat produced.
In 1979, Roy announced his transmutation process and received international attention. The Roy process does not require storage of radioactive materials. No new equipment is required. In fact, all of the equipment and the chemical separation processes needed are well known.
What`s the basis for the Roy Process? If you examine radioactive elements such as strontium 90, cesium 137 and plutonium 239, you will see that they all have too many neutrons. To put it very simply, the Roy process transmutes these unstable isotopes to stable ones by knocking out the extra neutrons. When a neutron is removed, the resulting isotope has a considerably shorter half-life which then decays to a stable form in a reasonable amount of time.
How do we knock out neutrons? By bombarding them with photons (produced as x-rays) in a high- powered electron linear accelerator. Before this process, the isotopes must be separated by a well-known chemical process.
It is feasible that portable units could be built and transported to hazardous sites for on-site transmutation of nuclear wastes and radioactive wastes.
To give an example, cesium 137 with a half-life of 30.17 years is transformed into cesium 136 with a half-life of 13 days. Plutonium 239 with a half-life of 24,300 years is transformed into plutonium 237 with a half-life of 45.6 days. Subsequent radioactive elements which will be produced from the decay of plutonium 237 can be treated in the same way as above until the stable element is formed.]]>Comment on VIDEO: RALLY AT JONESBOROUGH, TN: ... voices in the struggle against DU munitionstag:du-blog.wildclearing.com,2007-11-18:665618Dennis F Nesterhttp://members.cox.net/theroyprocess2007-11-18T15:58:23Z2007-11-18T14:59:26ZFrom the first atom bomb in New Mexico 1945, everyone has man-made isotopes in their DNA. All of us eat, drink and breath it every day. As long as it pays the bills, you can murder the whole world. Depleted uranium and nuclear power was the most lethal mistake mankind made.All we can do now is stop it from getting worse!
The aim of nuclear power is spent fuel rods (nuclear waste) from which weapons are made. Atom bombs, easier are dirty bombs, so-called depleted uranium ordinance, not electricity, That is why 30 sovereign countries have nuclear power.
Dr. John Gofman says there is no safe dose of man-made ionizing radiation. We should not add to it with new nuclear power plants. Nuclear power is the most dangerous form of electricity. It is the heat which makes steam that powers electric generators. Albert Einstein once said, "Nuclear power is one hell of a way to boil water".
Liability is paid by the tax payer under the Price/Anderson Act. Electric rate payers subsidize nuclear power and waste disposal. There is big money and political power in nuclear waste, in killing people, in a toxic regime. Nuclear power pollutes the environment and will not stop global warming according to studies.

Keep up the good work. Our church in its national meeting (1777 UCC beiennial Synod in Hartford, CT)in a resolution I wrote, denounced the use of DU in US weapons, but this received little publicity in the national media.]]>Comment on TACTICS TO THWART A NONVIOLENT CAMPAIGN AGAINST URANIUM MUNITIONStag:du-blog.wildclearing.com,2007-09-12:540604Gary Giesecke2007-09-12T15:24:20Z2007-09-12T15:24:20Z The key difference is the willingness of the actor to acknowledge that he is a substitute for reality.
Virtually every public pronouncement spouted by Rokke, either on the subject of DU or on his own "qualifications" are either patently false, or contain so little of the truth that it is unrecognizable.
Check for yourself - I did. This is not a contest of personalities - let the facts speak for themselves, but take the time and minimal effort to actually check on the claims.
Here is one you can easily check - Virtually every time he speaks, he is introduced by some "host" as being a "PhD Physicist" or other claim to advanced physics education.
Mr. Rokke knows this is not true, yet this "honorable military officer" leaves the introduction uncorrected when he replies.
I guess "PhD, Education Vocational Technology" doesn't have the "punch" needed give his ignorant opinions the clout he feels they should have.
For the record, Mr Rokke has earned: '75, W. Ill. Univ, BS (Physics). '86, UI, Urbana-Champaign, MS (Educ Voc Tech). '92, UI, Urbana-Champaign, PhD (Educ Voc Tech).]]>
