Comment Deadline July 20, 2015, 11.59 pm – One of the Last Chances Before the Veneer of Democracy is Stripped Away; Jackboots of Nuclear Fascism on the March"
YES, AMERICA, THE NEI AND NRC DOESN'T SEE THE NEED FOR OUR INPUT NOR ALL THOSE NASTY OLD RULES AND REGULATIONS THAT MEAN THE BELOVED OWNERS OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES HAVE TO BE CAREFUL, CLEAN UP AFTER THEMSELVES OR STOP THEIR LEAKS SO FEWER OF US GET CANCER OR LIFELONG DEBILITATING DISEASE.
SUCH RULES ARE CUTTING INTO THEIR PROFITS AND THEY'D RATHER HAVE PROFIT THAN KEEP AMERICA SAFE...AS IF THEY EVER REALLY TRIED TO MAKE NUCLEAR ENERGY SAFE IN THE FIRST PLACE!
THAT WAS A SHAM!
IT SIMPLY CAN'T BE DONE GIVEN CONSTANTLY FAILING MATERIALS AND ENORMOUS AMOUNTS OF HARD-TO-DISPOSE-OF NUCLEAR WASTE.
BUT, HEY, WHAT'S A FEW HUNDRED OR EVEN THOUSAND NEW CASES OF CANCER, ETC, COMPARED TO A HEALTHY AMERICAN ECONOMY,RIGHT?

SO, A SHOW OF HOOVES,PLEASE...
HOW MANY WHO READ HERE ARE UP TO THE CHALLENGE OF SITTING BACK AND BEING BOMBARDED BY RADIONUCLIDES UNTIL YOU PUKE...OR DIE?
HOW MANY WILL INDEED VOLUNTEER TO GO MAKE SURE ALL IS WELL IN AND AROUND OUR FAILING NUCLEAR REACTORS?
HOW MANY WILL INDEED VOLUNTEER TO GO MAKE SURE ALL IS WELL IN AND AROUND OUR FAILING NUCLEAR REACTORS?
IF JAPAN WILL FLY VOLUNTEERS TO FUKUSHIMA FOR CLEANUP...WHO WANTS TO GO?
IF NUCLEAR ENERGY IS SO DAMNED SAFE AND GOOD FOR US, WHY AREN'T PEOPLE LINING UP TO GO HELP OUT AT NUCLEAR FACILITIES?
YOU KNOW WHY.
WE ALL KNOW WHY.
"You have until July 20, 2015 to comment to the US NRC about this. It may be one of your last chances to comment about anything nuclear in the US, if the Nuclear industrialists-utilities get their way:

Will the nuclear industry be allowed to take away the last trappings of democracy without even a whimper or cry of protest?
[SURE, SURE, THAT'S FINE, RIGHT READERS?]
The Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), a lobby group of nuclear utilities-industrialists, wants the US NRC to axe CPR Factor B – the part which deals with participation and transparency, as well as some other things. The NRC heeds its Masters voice: “The NRC actively seeks to improve its rulemaking process and reporting, and is currently engaged in a process improvement initiative that would implement most of NEI’s suggestions related to rulemaking reporting… NEI commented on the process the NRC uses to prioritize its rulemaking activities. The NEI suggested that the NRC: (1) Use a risk- informed prioritization methodology; (2) consider eliminating CPR Factor B from its methodology;… “

[SEE A HUGE IMAGE OF THE ABOVE <HERE>]
Risk-informed in nuclear lingo means risk to the bank accounts-stock values, of the nuclear industry-utilities. They don’t give a damn about public health and safety.
President Obama and Congress have axed openness and participation for trade deals, already, with Fast Track approval.
Time for tax strikes. Then, of course, they can throw you in jail and make you work as prison labor for the nuclear industry – either way you pay; they profit.
The other way is to earn as little as you can, to minimize taxes paid. Bartering is one direction to go, if you can’t produce everything yourself.
[SEE WHY I LOVE THIS GUY?
HONESTY AND SIMPLICITY ARE DELIGHTFUL!]
IT BEARS REPEATING:
July 20, 2015 is the deadline to comment about this. It may be one of the last chances, if the Nuclear utilities-industry, who own the NRC, Obama, and many in Congress, get their way:http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=NRC-2015-0071-0002
There will be a few more chances to comment on other things, before it is formally axed, but the iron heeled jackboots of dictatorship, in service of the nuclear industry, are being formally unveiled.
Nuclear dictatorship is on the march.
They cannot compete fairly against renewable energy, so they must impose their will.
The small freedoms of a democratic society which set some limits on the “insatiable demands of the money power” will be lost.(See Daniel Guerin, Fascism and Big Business, 1939 )
CONNECTIONS, CONNECTIONS!
WHO BLOWS WHOM, YES?
[Forgive my crassness, or don't...I can offer a thousand meaningless excuses for it, but won't. The older I get, the less I care who's offended.]
The President and CEO of Exelon Corp., Christopher M. Crane, is also Chairman of the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI). Exelon is headquartered in Chicago, was a major Obama donor, and operates the largest number of nuclear power stations in the US – 23 reactors at 14 locations in Illinois, Maryland, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.
Obama sold the health and safety of the country out for a really cheap price, to boot.

Since Obama is Exelon’s boy, and as Obama himself noted in 2007, the NRC is a moribund agency captive of industry; filled with cronies who have lost their sense of mission, then there should be no surprises that the NRC also heeds its Masters voice, in the form of the NEI (Nuclear Energy Institute).
Candidate Obama overrated the NRC though, for they’ve always served their corporate masters to the detriment of the people and the environment.
Repeated Congressional hearings over the decades resulted in business as usual.

[Note 1] See Daniel Guerin, “Fascism and Big Business“, 1939, written ca 1936.
For instance, pp. 22-23:
“When the economic crisis becomes acute, when the rate of profit sinks toward zero”
[Now big business is making plenty of profit, they just want more] the corporate elite “can see only one way to restore its profits: it empties the pockets of the people down to the last cent. It resorts to what Mr. Caillaux, once finance minister of France, expressively calls “the great penance”: brutal slashing of wages and social expenditures, … The state, furthermore, rescues business enterprises on the brink of bankruptcy, forcing the masses to foot the bill.” [This has been the case of the nuclear industry since it started!].
“Such enterprises are kept alive with subisides, tax exemptions, orders for public works and armaments.
In short, the state thrusts itself into the breach left by the vanishing private customers.
But, such maneuvers are difficult under a democratic regime."
WELL, THERE WE HAVE IT...BOTTOMS UP FOR ANOTHER ROYAL SCREWING, AMERICANS!

CHOICES, CHOICES...SOON THEY'LL ALL BE GONE...
WILL WE MISS THEM?
I WOULD.
BUT THEN, I HAVE NO INTENTION OF BEING WITHOUT A CHOICE.
IF THAT MEANS THE END OF ME, SO BE IT.
BETTER TO DIE FREE THAN LIVE FOREVER AS A SLAVE.
