Money talks. DAPL is funded by major US banks- Wells Fargo, Chase, Citi, US Bank, JP Morgan. Take your money away from them. If enough of us do, they'll reconsider funding the pipeline.

Bernie and the New Generation Gap
Bernie emerged into adulthood during the 60's, when there was a marked generation gap. He's bringing the ideals of that time to the current generation of young people, and again, the older folks are not getting it. "The times they are a-changing."

Bernie's Obstacle Course
The powers-that be are very threatened by Bernie's "political revolution", and are throwing many obstacles in his path. this paper reviews them, and contains petitions to help remove them.
In Support of Bernie Sanders
I support the man, and I support his policies. He is who he says he is, without a hidden agenda. He's nobody's puppet. In pledging to reverse the trend of transferring wealth from the populace to the wealthy few, Bernie has won my appreciation, and that of millions of other voters.

Fukushima Daiichi 2-27-15 Leaks, lies and dieoffs
As new leaks are discovered and/or disclosed at Fukushima Daiichi, the government continues to deny the problems, push for reactors to reopen, push for dumping more contaminated water into the Pacific, even asking that funds be diverted from the cleanup to preparations for the 2020 Olympics! Meanwhile, dead birds and dying sea mammals flood the West Coast. Please sign the petitions in the article!

Fukushima update 11-29-14 Secrecy and lies
Japan is dedicated to suppressing awareness about the mess at Fukushima Daiichi, and focusing on the 2020 Summer Olympics instead. The new Japanese Secrecy Act goes into effect the first week of December, and whistleblowers will be punished. It will take outside pressure to restore sanity to Japan. Please sign the two petitions in the text.

Please sign petitions: " So, as a Japanese, I clearly oppose Japan's hosting of 2020 Olympic and say that Japan must resign it" " We have been researching this issue for several years now and are absolutely amazed that the Japanese government could even consider hosting the Olympics in Tokyo with so much radiation everywhere!" " Things have got much worse -- and at the same time you have an accelerated form of secrecy"

Fukushima update 11-8-14- Good news and bad news
World attention needs to focus on Fukushima Daiichi. It's more threatening to the biosphere than climate change, Ebola, or the Republicans. TEPCO is making progress on the spent fuel pools, and is addressing the groundwater contamination, but the radioactive site remains out of control. International intervention is needed. Please sign and disseminate the two petitions.

impact of recent typhoons on Fukushima Daiichi
Fukushima Daiichi keeps getting worse. Each year the typhoons are bigger and stronger, and the water dumped on the crippled reactor site mingles with the

Japan should honorably resign as host of 2020 Summer Olympics
Why expose the world's finest young athletes and their fans to radiation? Tokyo is already contaminated from Fukushima Daiichi, and will only get worse. This is a propaganda ploy, to protect the nuclear industry and the Japanese economy. It continues the coverup and maintains denial. Moving the Olympics would be a wake-up call, to face the truth about nuclear pollution.

Why Japan should resign as host of 2020 Summer Olympics
There is a huge risk that the world's finest young athletes and their fans will be exposed to radiation from Fukushima Daiichi in 2020. The Japanese should face reality and honorably retreat from hosting the Games, so they can be resited in a timely manner.

Clean Up Time
Although we have trashed our beautiful planet, we have the capacity to clean it up. The miracle needed is humanity's willingness to face the mess we've made and our resolution to turn it back into a garden. We are approaching the winter solstice of 2012, the date fixed by the Mayans as a time of great change on the planet. Some of us look for a change of planetary consciousness for the better.

The reactor complex at Fukushima Daiichi, where little progress has been made on cleaning up, continues to be at risk for another catastrophe, much greater than Chernobyl. A Dec. 7th earthquake, magnitude 7.3, should wake us up.

petition on Fukushima to Senators Boxer and Feinstein
Senator Wyden of Oregon toured the crippled Fukushima reactors recently, and was frightened by what he saw. This petition is an effort to raise consciousness to prevent a Chernobyl-like explosion, which could easily occur if Japan doesn't get more help with the cleanup, before another major earthquake sets off the spent fuel pools.

Street Spirit March 2012- A Review
This paper is largely devoted to how nonviolent strategy can make social change happen. It addresses the conflict within the Occupy movement between proponents of nonviolent resistance and people advocating violent rebellion, or "diversity of tactics", in a series of articles. I highly recommend the March 2012 issue of Street Spirit to anyone interested in social change.
