Use no 41 Another Letter to Santa

Radiation Free Lakeland have been passed a letter addressed to Santa from HM Government. The letter has been leaked by brave whistleblower, Vixen the Reindeer. Dear Santa, We have been working VERY hard again this year to convince Cumbrians that 'Managing Radioactive Waste Safely' means mining a MEGA hole to dump nuclear waste in. Please Santa, we need this solution in order to build bigger and better nuclear plants that would produce hotter waste. Please Santa, keep campaigners saying 'bury it under London' and 'burn the plutonium' and please muffle and marginalise those who want to contain the waste on site and STOP the production of more and more waste. We have continued to make sure that all the movers and shakers in Cumbria are ON MESSAGE, SILENT or making MEANINGLESS noises about the BRAND of CUmbria. Please Santa, keep the GEOLOGICAL DUMP on track and convince Cumbrians that this is a huge OPPORTUNITY. yours sincerely, Baroness Verma on behalf of HM. Govnt PS We have also worked VERY hard this year on diversionary tactics. EG We BANNED fracking to highlight how dangerous it is and then REVOKED the ban to set activists and the media running after that hare DIVERTING attention away from the BIG FRACKING radioactive gassy NUKE DUMP. (imagine us banning nuclear!? LoL)

Use No 40 NEW.SPEAK

new•speak Pronunciation: (nOO'spēk) Coined in George Orwell's classic book '1984', new.speak is an official or semiofficial style of writing or saying one thing in the guise of its opposite, esp. in order to serve a political or ideological cause while pretending to be objective The Managing Radioactive Wastes Safely Partnership has just won two awards for its outstanding contribution to New.Speak The title of the Partnership (Managing Radioactive Wastes Safely) is in itself blatant New.Speak Other key examples of MRWS new.speak are: *Democratic Process *Volunteer *Willing Community all saying one thing in the guise of its opposite. http://dictionary.infoplease.com/newspeak http://orwell.ru/library/novels/1984/english/en_app http://www.medialens.org/bookshop/newspeak.php and the resulting awards... http://www.nwemail.co.uk/two-awards-for-west-cumbria-nuclear-waste-consultation-1.1021517?referrerPath=news1

Use No 39 Uplifting the Land with Radioactive Gases

Use No 39 Uplifting the Land with Radioactive Gases The government quango 'Managing Radioactive Wastes Safely' are promoting Cumbria/The Lake District as the national geological dump for nuclear wastes. Professor Stuart Haszeldine has said: "Emplacement of hot wastes will force rock to expand, with the strong probability that new fractures will be created. The fractures can allow radioactive gas to rapidly leak to the surface. Land users and housing at the land surface will be uplifted." http://mrwsold.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Response-to-westCumbria-MRWS-Consultation-Haszeldine-small1.pdf

Use no 38 Saving the Rainforest

Use No 38 Saving the Rainforest "If you wanted to preserve the biodiversity of *rainforest, drop pockets of nuclear waste into it to keep the developers out. The lifespans of the wild things might be shortened a bit, but the animals wouldn't know, or care. Natural selection would take care of the mutations. Life would go on". James Lovelock - what a beautiful mind and a lovely old man.... for *rainforest try substituting *Cumbria - lovely! http://www.ecolo.org/lovelock/world-in-our-hands.html http://web.mac.com/mariannebirkby1/iWeb/Radiation%20Free%20Lakeland/Gaia%20-%20Prof.%20Lovelock's%20False%20Goddess....html

Use no 37 AGNOTOLOGY - MONBIOTOINETTE


“People always assume that if someone doesn’t know something, it’s because they haven’t paid attention or haven’t yet figured it out. But ignorance also comes from people literally suppressing truth—or drowning it out—or trying to make it so confusing that people stop caring about what’s true and what’s not.” Robert Proctor
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnotology

The nuclear agenda relies on agnotology , examples include the proposal to build new nuclear plants at the two greenfield sites in Cumbria, Kirksanton and Braystones. This much publicised move diverted attention, energy and local anger away from the real and insane agenda which is to build "up to nine" new nuclear reactors at Sellafield.
http://www.whitehavennews.co.uk/news/reaction-to-sellafield-nuclear-new-build-1.770027?referrerPath=1.137755

George Monbiot's oh so persuasive and persistent (!) proposal to 'let them burn plutonium' is another example of agnotology.
http://www.robedwards.com/2012/01/plutonium-reactor-plan-rejected.html

Meanwhile the plan to bury high level nuclear wastes in Cumbria in order to make yet more high level wastes continues while the Guardianistas arguments churn having taken their cue from "the leading environmental activist and writer" (whose time has come?)

Reducing Brain Size




USE NO 36

REDUCING BRAIN SIZE


Birds living near the site of the Chernobyl accident have 5% smaller brains.
Research led by a University of South Carolina scientist has shown that low dose radiation has proved to have significant effects on brain development.

"birds with smaller brains are not surviving to the next year, perhaps related to decreased cognitive abilities." Mousseau said not only are their brains smaller, but it seems they are not as capable at dealing with their environment as evidenced by their lower rates of survival".

Reduced cognitive ability puts millions of years of evolution into high speed reverse ..
