Can Time Inc. Survive the Kochs? November 28, 2017 By Jane Mayer
..."This year, among the Kochs’ aims is to spend a projected four hundred million dollars in contributions from themselves and a small group of allied conservative donors they have assembled, to insure Republican victories in the 2018 midterm elections.

Fukushima I. 12th March 2011
We are back again. The former warnings of Chernobyl were thrown into the contaminated winds, utterly ignored. Now it’s burning again and it is melting uncontrolled.
The dose of radiation in an hour passes the accepted yearly level. Fuel rod meltdowns cannot be excluded.
Right in time for the Chernobyl anniversary, 25 years, the possible final warning of a tormented and muzzled nature reaches us.
The greedy efforts and the deathly consequences of the nuclear power business, totally denied by the lobbyists, are again paid for by us, the exposed.
Where to escape to when the responsibility-neutral ’gift of radioactive radiation’ is circling around our globe?
Swallow your billions, you “Atoms for peace” lobbyists, and live with the consciousness of the thoughtless contamination of this little ball, travelling the universe!
That is enough, now. Exit the atom business NOW!
To the irresponsible lobbyists, I say you are already contaminated by your wrong and destructive thinking.
