RE: Paul Davis Ryan, the new Rep. Vice-Pres. candidate, just today, reported by CBS news to have stated his belief
in self-reliance. Well, he is a product of dependence, if reports in US News ( report by Bobby Kyle Sauer) and Politico
( report by Kevin Sirilli ) are correct.( both Aug 11, 2012 )They both write, that Paul Ryan, after his father died, received
enough Social Security benefits, from age 16 to age 18, to fund his college education at Miami Univ. of Ohio.
I'm wondering if we will need to fight a religious civil war. It seems, that too many people are trying to force their
religious beliefs on the rest of us. They claim to be against abortions for any reason; because it is killing babies.
Why is it, that they aren't upset about illegal wars, with all of the killing, maiming and deforming of babies that occurs from
the use of depleted uranium weapons? I have to conclude, that it is, really, about controlling women; because, if these
people, really, cared about killing, we wouldn't have these wars.

From PeaceWorks KC, May 2010 news letter - Nuclear fuel reprocessing =
weapons proliferation: ( This is so important, that I'm putting the whole article on here.)
'In nuclear power plants, the highly radioactive fuel rods are removed from the reactor
after about five years of fissioning and are replaced with fresh rods. Reprocessing involves
physically chopping up the irradiated rods and then dissolving them in acid to extract plutonium
and uranium. Separate plutonium can be used to make nuclear weapons. Commercial
reprocessing currently takes place in five countries -- France, India, Japan, Russia and the
United Kingdom.
No permanent waste repository exists on the planet for the disposal of fuel rods. Irradiated rods
are, therefore, being stored at every reactor site. They remain vulnerable to terrorists and
accidental releases, and they increase the radiation exposure of workers. The U.S. nuclear
industry is promoting reprocessing as its latest illusion of a solution to the high- level radioactive
waste problem.
A fraction of the separated plutonium from reprocessing is intended for use in new reactor fuel.
When used, though, the new fuel would then itself generate more plutonium, possibly releasing
harmful particles and rays for at least 240,000 years.
Because the solid irradiated rods are transformed into high-level radioactive liquids and sludges,
reprocessing increases, rather than decreases, the volume of homeless radioactive waste. Waste
byproducts cannot be reused; they have to be abandoned on-site or dumped elsewhere. For
example, French uranium wastes, left over from reprocessing, have been shipped to Siberia for
indefinite storage.
Both Presidents, Ford and Carter, banned commercial reprocessing in the U.S.; because they
feared that the technology's spread would be used for the worldwide proliferation of nuclear weapons.
In addition to the use of extracted plutonium in nuclear weapons, the left-over reprocessing wastes
can be used to turn an ordinary bomb into a dirty bomb, that is designed to disperse radioactivity.
President Reagan overturned the reprocessing ban, but the exorbitant cost of building and operating
such plants has kept reprocessing from being revived in the U.S., since 1972.
Radioactive wastes are released directly into the environment during the routine operation of
reprocessing plants. The British Sellafield plant has dumped its waste liquids, laced with a total of
over 1,000 pounds of plutonium into the Irish Sea. The French La Haque plant discharges tens of
millions of gallons of liquid radioactive waste into the English Channel every year.
Reprocessing plants, large enough to handle current U.S. irradiated fuel inventories, would cost an
estimated $40- $60 billion each to build, and at least $3 billion each year to operate. Taxpayers
and/or electric ratepayers would, almost certainly, bear those added burdens, not the nuclear power
industry.
Because of the 2010 cancellation of the proposed geologic disposal facility for irradiated fuel rods at
Yucca Mountain, Nevada nuclear power promoters are, again, advocating reprocessing.
The U.S. nuclear industry, the national nuclear labs, and the French government's atomic giant, Areva,
successfully lobbied the George W. Bush administration, in 2006, to launch the Global Nuclear Energy
Partnership, designed to revive reprocessing and expand nuclear power worldwide.
Although, President Obama has cancelled GNEP's environmental review, funding for reprocessing is
continuing within the Energy Department's "Fuel Cycle Research and Development" program.'
If you care about this planet, call your legislators and ask for the cessation of reprocessing of
irradiate rods. While you are at it, ask for the end of nuclear processing, period! There is no
solution for nuclear waste. The world has gone mad. Can we stop this?
( Workers, who have worked next to the Kansas City nuclear parts plant, have been getting sick and dying,
for years, and in spite of reports, it is just now being studied by the government, after NBCAction news
started reporting on the sickness and deaths. The government has approved of the building of a new
such plant in a near-by town. Why don't we stop "majoring" in war?????)
See http://www.peaceworkskc.org .
Re. The Kansas City Plant: ( From Henry Stoever, chair of the PeaceWorks board, and Jane Stoever's
letter.)
"For about three years, members of PeaceWorks, Kansas City, and the KC Chapter of Physicians for
Social Responsibilty (PW/PSR-KC) have actively opposed the Kansas City Plant, operated by
Honeywell for the National Nuclear Security Administration. The plant, part of the Bannister Federal
Complex, makes non-nuclear parts for nuclear warheads, such as the W-76 and W-88 (delivered by
Trident II submarine-launched ballistic missiles), the W-78 and W87 ( delivered by Minuteman III
intercontinental ballistic missiles), and the B-61 gravity bomb ( delivered by B-2 bombers).
Activists in PW/PSR-KC are confronting the local nuke factory. We testified repeatedly to the City
Council and, on Feb. 4, watched it approve the new NNSA campus at Botts Road and MO Hwy. 150.
Through the plan, Kansas City gives the new plant a $45 million tax cut and commits up to $10 million
for local infrastructure, such as highway expansion.* Private financing for the new plant, estimated to cost
$1.2 billion over a span of 20 years, will keep it hidden from federal budget reports citizens can track.
This situation baffles and appalls us. City and federal funding for nukes escalates, while people in our city
and our world go hungry and homeless."
From: Peaceworks, September 2010:
Here is how the transaction goes: "GSA will sublease the plant from the private developer, CerterPoint
Zimmer(CPZ), a limited liability corporation formed by Chicago-based Centerpoint and Kansas City-based
Zimmer Real Estate Services. CPZ has a 20- year lease-to-purchase deal from the current owners, the
Planned Industrial Expansion Authority (PIEA), the agency of the City of Kansas City (MO), that is subsidizing
the whole project through the sale of about $700 million in municipal bonds. Strangely enough, the PIEA
bought the 186-acre field last month, (July, 2010) for more than $5 million from CPZ, which just "happened" to
own the land NNSA chose for its new production plant. The PIEA retains title to the property."
(This means that Kansas City, Missouri will own a federal nuclear bomb production plant.) The NNSA,
The National Nuclear Security Administration, will sublease it from the GSA.

Ask Obama to fix our trade and globalization policies:
No to new WTO agreements until there is a change in philosophy of
these agreements. All previous agreements need to be changed; because:
" The WTO is a reason why the mortgage meltdown in the U.S. fatally
contaminated the entire financial industry here and abroad. .......
The WTO prevents the U.S. from limiting the size of foreign banks
and other financial firms, even if we set such limits on domestic firms. ....
..... The WTO means that the U.S. taxpayers may have to bail out foreign
banks, too. ........
....The WTO obligates the U.S. to a 'standstill provision' which prevents
us from undoing many of our crazy deregulation policies with respect
to a vast array of banking, insurance, securities and other financial
services we submitted to WTO jurisdiction. ........
The WTO forbids the use of Buy American or Buy Local programs. This
undercuts the effectiveness of the stimulus bill -- the $20 billion for
data-entry workers to put medical records into electronic format likely
will go offshore rather than employing workers here and thus recycling
through our economy. ...... resulting agreements provide special
incentives and protections for U.S. firms that offshore investments and jobs
to low wage countries. ..........

the WTO to impose "this new U.S. financial casino model " on the rest of

a solid area, on the northwest side of Palestine: not in separate disconnected areas, as shown in the 1946
map. It makes no sense to have disconnected areas. If Israel can't accept such a settlement,
all land should be returned as Palestine. The rest of the world should say, "We are "done". We have no
more patience!)

had two major goals: to equalize access for all citizens and to control total health

systems of more than 10 countries, including Medicare in the United States,
choosing those structures and practices that best furthered their objectives.

another $750 billion this year. ....little- publicized commitments include
$5.4 trillion in direct federal investments ( buying the companies' stocks),
$2.3 trillion loaned to the banks, and $2.1 trillion to insure the debts and
guarantee the "toxic" (i.e., worthless) assets of the financial firms. The
total as of March 18: $9.9 trillion. ......
.......economist, George Akerlof coauthored an academic paper......given
...title: "Looting.".....The authors analyzed some of the financial disasters
of the 1980's, concluding that capitalists profiteers had taken ridiculous
risks because they knew that when their overreaching finally created a bust,
the government would step in to socialize the losses. Akerlof predicted that
the next source of financial looting would come from an obscure Wall
Street scheme that was just getting started: credit derivatives. ........Ultimately
based on nothing but a fiction ( in particular, the assertion that housing values
only go up), the derivatives bubble burst...and so has our economy. " -----

Part of any profits generated by the entities with public money, should be

The people, who helped to cause the problem are not likely to fix it. Obama's
campaign received $17 million from Wall Street and $980,945. from Goldman Sachs.
He has put people in charge, who caused the problem. Those people
should have been fired, and ridiculous CEO pay should stop.
People should be suspicious, when the conservative Democratic base and the
regular media are supportive of candidates. Someone, who will fight for
middle and lower classes, they don't want.
Regarding our frequent involvement in war:
We are subject to the control of a Congressional
military complex, that we need to take power
from. We need to ask President Obama to assume
his role as President and Commander-in-Chief of
the military. (We are, almost , being controlled by
a military junta.) The citizenry needs to wake up.)

its police departments, and its jails
should not be privatized ( made into

"John McCain said he wants to drill for oil in South Dakota. ---------There is
no known oil there--, and he has flip-flopped and is now in favor of off shore
drilling; because some oil executives say it would be a good thing. ( Off shore
drilling reduces the height of the adjoining land.).....( Drilling in the Artic
would be, totally, irresponsible.)
Oil companies, already, have leases on 68 million acres ( 2/3 of federal land,
believed to have recoverable oil), and they are just sitting on it. They have leases on
80% of recoverable offshore oil and are drilling, only, 1/4 of that. ........
The oil companies want more leases, anyway. It is so they can control
pricing!!!!! .......
The oil companies can sell to the highest bidder. They are not
going to drill for our benefit. They are not going to help us
with our need for foreign oil. ......
Also, a 1997 US agreement with China allows China to
bid on new leases on the US Continental Shelf."

Sherrod Brown voted for the Military Commissions Act, which suspends our right to

Conservatives are controlling both parties, but young people have time to gain control. Jesus
followers didn't give up. I've decided, that a viable third party is not possible with the "death grip
the Democratic base has on controlling ballot access; so change has to come from within.
Many Democrats are voting like progressives most of the time, but take turns
voting for bad legislation when it is "their turn", to make sure that it gets passed
or to prevent good legislation from passing, they will take "their turn", voting
against it. They are fooling most of their constituents, as they just toy with us.
We have to
start voting for the right person, in spite of what
the polls say!
Dennis Kucinich was the only Presidential candidate, until he had to drop out to
campaign for his Congressional House seat , who
has shown, by his legislative record and his proposed legislation and programs, that
he would lead this country in the best direction for the US and the world.
I' ve learned that a "write-in candidate" has to participate in the process by signing
a special form, and we have to get delegates in place, just like balloted candidates;
so this would be only the thing to do when the particular candidate was not running
to keep his seat in Congress.

http://www.wikileaks.ch -- News --Julian Assange ( Adrian Lamo was a tattle-tale --
said he thought some one might get killed because of the tape. Well, guess what! Innocent
people had been killed.( Apparently, if you aren't in the US military, you aren't someone.)
( Oh! and even if in the US military, if you are a woman, you aren't a person either, are you?-
you know the rapes.)
That was the point in getting the information out, Adrian,you twit!
You have no sense of morality! People in Iraq and Afghanistan know about US atrocities,
whether people in the US know or not. They are there, and they know about US policy.)
See, also, http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glen_greenwald/2011/04/20/manning.
US citizens have a right to know how tax money is spent. We have a right to know how our
military personnel are trained. We have a right to know how our state department behaves.
IT IS OUR TAX MONEY !!!!!! And we have a right to way-in on wheather we enter
into war, and those, who are for it, should go fight it, with their own money; because wars
are fought to please corporations.
