GOFMAN: We have to get back to a simple understanding of
the concepts of liberty, justice, and truth.
You know, Frederick Douglass--then an ex-slave--made an
important statement about power. He said, "Find out just what
people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount
of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them. . . . The
limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom
they oppress."
People have to see the truth in Douglass's words . . . they
have to realize that a lot of freedom is being taken away from them,
and they have to learn how to take it back.
PLOWBOY: So the first step is education. We Americans have to
become aware of how we're being used.
GOFMAN: Yes, but it's not just Americans who need to wake
up. We may not have perfect freedom here, but comparing our
liberties to those of people in the world's totalitarian countries is
like comparing night and day. The journey to full liberty for much
of the rest of the world will be a very tough one.
So we need to preserve and extend our own freedoms and help
men and women in totalitarian countries resist coercion, as well. All
of the world's peoples need to work toward liberty.
--------------------------
Roger Batzel--who, by the way, once
admitted to a TV journalist that even he didn't see any errors in our
calculations--came up to me. "Jack," he said, "last year the AEC
told us that we'd have to cancel your chromosome and cancer research
program. Now you may not believe this, but Mike May and I both said
that--although we disagree heartily with you concerning your actions
against nuclear power--we think your lab work on chromosomes is first
rate, so we're not going to cancel it."
I started to assure Roger that I appreciated his efforts, but
he went on: "This year the AEC people have told us that either we
cancel your work or they'll simply cut our budget by the $250,000 that
your program costs . . . which would force us to fire somebody else in
order to keep you."
PLOWBOY: Now that's devious!
GOFMAN: Roger said he'd leave the decision up to me. Well, I
couldn't force another project to lose out in order to keep my
program. So I told Roger that I thought I might be able to get
funding from the National Cancer Institute . . . and asked whether
he'd get me the approval to move all my scanners, culture equipment,
and other research gear to Berkeley. Roger agreed.
At first, my plan looked as if it would work smoothly. I
talked with Frank Rauscher, the head of the National Cancer
Institute, and he was quite excited about funding my chromosome
work. In fact, Frank said the research would tie in perfectly with
some breast cancer studies the Institute was doing at Yale. All
he'd need, before giving me the go-ahead, was three or four weeks to
look into the funding.
Well, about seven weeks later, I still hadn't heard from
him, and--since it was getting near the time when Roger would have to
cut his budget--I wrote a little note to remind him . . . and got back
a letter, from an assistant I didn't even know, saying, "Thank you
very much for your inquiry. The program that you're proposing is not
in the mainline interest of the National Cancer Institute. But if you
ever have any ideas in the future, please call us."
That was the end of my research. The next day, a program that
could have been very important to world health, one that I'd worked on
for seven years, was completely dismantled. All the people were
reassigned to other scientists' work . . . in fact, to anyone's work
as long as it wasn't mine. It was one of the saddest days of my life.
PLOWBOY: Yet nothing was done that you could point to to
improper?
GOFMAN: Oh no. Everybody knew, of course, that I didn't want
to give up the research program. But I had to. It's really a rather
common story: There's just no room for scientific truth in
government-funded work when the truth in any way goes against a
program that the government--or any of its special interests--wants to
carry through. And I believe it's an outrage that we're taxed to
support dishonest scientists . . . or to finance science that's being
paid to provide a façade.

Toxic Environment Creating Huge Numbers of Early Deaths Among Otherwise Healthy People
This is just one example, but keep your ears open, these examples are all over the place.-----------------------------------
Another man, felled by leukemia at 31, very healthy lifestyle.

----------------------------------------------
"Young" people, dying quickly after contracting a disease, often cancer. By young, I mean, 57, 62, 65. This story is about Ken Leghorn from Alaska.
This is a result of our toxic environment. Including radiation and heavy metal damage due to ocean dumping of nuclear material and Fukushima.
This article explains why the traditional way to present "life expectancy" way underestimates reality.
https://understandinguncertainty.org/why-life-expectancy-misleading-summary-survival
Summary: Everyone uses the "mean" aka the average. A very few short lives can sway the statistics greatly.
But when we look at the actual chart, we see for men, the most likely age at death is 86, but the average is 78/79
So when a otherwise healthy person dies at 62, the chart by inspection shows that that early death is actually very unlikely.

Pancreatic cancer - excellent diet, care and attention to
life-long health.
Fukushima fuel flea???
From an Alaska native
Yeah, from a distance. I know his best friend and the circle he ran in. All prep school and East coast edu...and the life he lived as a guide for big-money guests to Alaska. He ate well from the land and sea of SE Alaska; he hadn't been warned. Like most of us. Never knew what hit him. So instead of loading up on cannabis, he went rad and chemo [don't know for a fact, but it looks like it. We all know the look.]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
stock here: A continued focus on our "toxic environment" is justified. This year has seen many changes for me, for the better. Also just fixing past mistakes and realizing that "small insults" to the body and mind add up, and are worth eliminating whenever we can identify them.
For instance, I had Calphalon pots and pans. Anodized aluminum. And when the anodization is gone, you are eating aluminum, which is not good. It's a neuro-toxin like Fluoride.
Well the Calphalon was getting old and wore down. It went into the garbage, actually to the single sort recycling that the village offers. And replaced with a multilayer stainless set.
Also last year, stopped using toothpaste with Fluoride. Easy peasy, Amazon prime. I went through my emergency Shelter in Place boxes to check and refresh supplies....lol, threw out a tube of Crest with Fluoride and replaced with the good stuff. Hilarious seeing in my mind's eye, a process of surviving through a radiation emergency while loading yourself with Fluoride. The absurdity of it all, LOL.
See below, Lot's Wife always send mind provoking links, these are on Aluminum.
And finally, Hawking declares a 100 year deadline to either colonize another planet or risk extinction of the human race. Indeed I agree. I have considered the idea bringing a child into my life via birth or adoption, but the future is so hazy, there is no clarity on whether this would be "responsible" and what kind of a future could I guarantee for that child.

Earth Now In A Dangerous Earthquake Phase
Things have been normal for months. Suddenly big things are happening. Like the 6.8s in Alaska Canada the other day. Looks at todays EQ and notes.
And see below for Ben's SO observation on space weather, magnetics, electric fields, and Earthquakes. It also shows how incredibly inept, how incredibly sad "science" has become. They want to spend $20T to fight carbon, yet they don't even talk about planting trees.
USGS has spent $500M in studying earthquakes and want to "one day" be able to predict EQ 12 seconds in advance. Yet some guy (no offense meant to say it like that) in a Mobile home can eat their lunch.

Code Shutdown and Bystander Effect, Voltage gradients, and More
-
Sam, please understand I dont ascribe a darwinian explanation to the observed lack of toxicity of K-40.
CodeShutdown
This is a very intersting point; Many, maybe MOST believe that if you find K-40 or background radiation is not dangerous/ healthy/ or very little danger that you give the green light to the nuclear industry. Actually if they would only stop and consider it, the OPPOSITE is the case!
If the danger of sugar is assumed to be the same for all types, then the sugar industry would say their white stuff is no worse than honey or lactose or erythritol. It turns out erythritol is one of the only ways besides brushing and floss that STOPS cavities. A sugar that STOPS cavities, instead of causing. So the sugar industry cant say their white stuff is the same as any sugar. But you, the nuke industry and everybody else is saying one source of radiation is the same as the others, all dangerous.
This is very important; The industry, scientists and media all compare the small amount of fallout to the huge amount of K-40. See Woods Hole to confirm this. This in fact does what you fear I am doing. It lets the nuclear industry off the hook, it gives them the green light. It legally, and conceptually allows them to exist and pollute at levels far below regulation standards because nobody can believe that one radiation source could be different than another. Just because they cant BELIEVE it DOESNT mean it isnt true! Specific activity is the obvious clue but there may be many,…-
Thank you so much for your replies. I in no way want to give any justification for the
the Nuclear Industry to exist and continue this insane irradiation that is ongoing and
deadly. It surely is a conundrum this large amount of K-40 in our bodies and in the
oceans. Twisted psychopathic thinking will find a way to justify deadly man made
radiation as less harmful than this K-40. K-40 exists and definitely less harmful than
in equal doses to other nucliedes. How less harmful would be interesting to know.
If it was detrimental as you say we humans would of perished long ago. Perhaps
the bodily degradation from K-40 is so slow in its weakening effects on the immune
system and cellular matrix that it is not a significant factor in our mortality? Contra-
naturum– our organisms may have successfully adapted to k-40 due our bio energic
fields that may affect breakdown of isotopes differently…… what are the factors that
affect radio active decay of isotopes in our bodies. This could be an angle of investigation.-
SAM, new understanding of cellular biology creates an interesting picture; The potassium with its low level of K-40 creates an onion like layering of molecular thickness in alternating polarities. It conforms to the complex, dense and fractal cytoskeleton and the many proteins and structures like mitochondria. It becomes one interacting unit, as opposed to discrete blobs of stuff in a drop of water. This is the very health and life of the cell. When you puncture it with the smallest of electrodes to measure the electrolyte or whatever, it is enough to release ionic bonds and disrupt this liquid crystal coherent microcosm of man. This shows the fragility of the organized system. Even thought the ionization factor from the K-40 contributed to the free radical load, it is less than free radicals from biological function. Free radicals are REQUIRED for the health of the cell! Some researches find SECONDARY radiation of a very peculiar kind coming from the K-40; biophotons. These have been found to carry information even through quartz barriers. A report posted recently did a meta analysis of frequency effects. Some frequencies are health positive, some health negative. The beta and gamma have frequencies characteristic of different radioisotopes. This could also be a factor. The specific activity or radiation per mass is extraordinarily higher in Cs137 compared to K40. This means on a molecular level you have point sources of high ionization and voltage gradients.
-
SAM, hits to DNA are very few from K-40. The same is true for an equal amount of Cs137. Free radical damage is considered to be the primary mediator in DNA damage. But we have to realize that free radicals are part of the biological process. The deadly morbid effect of nuclear fallout have to be found in the differences, not similarities of background vs fallout.
Free Radicals in the Physiological Control of Cell Function
Wulf Dröge
Physiological Reviews Published 1 January 2002
http://physrev.physiology.org/content/82/1/47
Abstract
At high concentrations, free radicals and radical-derived, nonradical reactive species are hazardous for living organisms and damage all major cellular constituents. At moderate concentrations, however, nitric oxide (NO), superoxide anion, and related reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role as regulatory mediators in signaling processes. Many of the ROS-mediated responses actually protect the cells against oxidative stress and reestablish “redox homeostasis.” Higher organisms, however, have evolved the use of NO and ROS also as signaling molecules for other physiological functions. These include regulation of vascular tone, monitoring of oxygen tension in the control of ventilation and erythropoietin production, and signal transduction from membrane receptors in various physiological processes. NO and ROS are typically generated in these cases by tightly regulated enzymes such as NO synthase (NOS) and NAD(P)H oxidase…
continued…NO and ROS are typically generated in these cases by tightly regulated enzymes such as NO synthase (NOS) and NAD(P)H oxidase isoforms, respectively. In a given signaling protein, oxidative attack induces either a loss of function, a gain of function, or a switch to a different function. Excessive amounts of ROS may arise either from excessive stimulation of NAD(P)H oxidases or from less well-regulated sources such as the mitochondrial electron-transport chain. In mitochondria, ROS are generated as undesirable side products of the oxidative energy metabolism.
- You have significantly advanced my understanding on this issue.
I will download the posts, put them in a folder and call it the
Code Copernicus Conumdrum on Differential Effects of Radiation
The next step is to translate all this into a format where
it can be easily understood and slip through defensive
thought structures and help the world to comprehend what
exactly is dangerous in nuclear radiation. A huge endeavor.
I am not too optimistic as I think most people shut down on
this and passively go on living overwhelmed by all things
nuclear and willingly accept the party line that it is not that
dangerous the sea of radiation we now live in.-
Thank you Sam. The details of the biology have been posted before and not included in the above response. Some of my memes;
- "we live in a sea of radiation, the danger was insignificant until man added new radioisotopes.–Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds–"
- we live in a sea of radiation; it caused no cancer or dead zones until man made nuclear fallout. –Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds–
- "The world and our bodies have always been radioactive but only nuclear fallout has caused gargantuanism, deformity and mental retardation"
- Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of fallout, I will fear no nuclear: for thou art with me; thy rad and thy ICRP graph they have retarded me.

domoic acid, if I recall correctly, is a metal transport medium and also allows algae to detoxify too much UV which is close to an ionizing level of radiation energy. Domoic acid poisoning seems to be on the rise since the nuclear era.
Another interesting possibility; phosphine oxide causes domoic acid like symptoms. Phosphine oxides are also the most effective extraction reagents for uranium. Where do they come from? The most likely source of the uranium absorber phosphine oxide naturally is reduction of phosphate in decaying organic matter. Agriculture, dead animals and fukushima could all contribute to phosphine oxide poisoning.
Phosphine is a constituent of the atmosphere at very low and highly variable concentrations. It may contribute significantly to the global phosphorus biochemical cycle. The most likely source is reduction of phosphate in decaying organic matter, The Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health level of Phosphine is 50 ppm. A convincing demonstration of the prevalence of biological phosphine production was given in 1988 when Devai, examining gases released from a sewage treatment found that 9-20% of phosphorus entering the system was converted to phosphine
boron trichoride reduces ubiquitous phosphorus to phosphine. Phosphine is used to kill insect pests. What if uranyl-borate complexes produced during the fukushima accident caused reduction of biological phosphates to phosphine, causing an uptake/ bioaccumulation of the same
-
During the Fukushima accident boric acid containing sea water was pumped into the reactor core. This created novel uranyl-boron complexes with sea water with potentially powerful redox chemistry that could convert biological phosphate to nerve gas like phosphine oxides, which itself absorbs/extracts uranium. Of course that would be totally dilute now, but other sources could exist
Fumigation with phosphine gas is by far the most widely used treatment for the protection of stored grain against insect pests. Phosphine initially causes agitation followed by convulsions in humans and hyperactivity followed by twitching in nonhuman animals. It acts like a nerve gas
