Goldman Sachs Nukes The EarthBy Richard Wilcox, PhD For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. King James Bible, 1 Timothy 6:10 The skys the limit and big banks are investing in energy sectors such as nuclear power instead of renewable energy at the expense of humankind, the biome and biota, and future generations of the Earth. Banks like Goldman Sachs have been investing in the uranium market which is one of the reasons the transition away from a dangerous, nuclear power system to a more viable and safer renewable energy system is taking so long to occur. Nuclear expert Arnie Gundersen of Fairewinds reminds us that Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) and the Japanese government have consistently refused help from foreign engineering firms who have proposed solutions at Dai-ichi, Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant #1 (FNPP#1) (2). But due to reasons of national security or cultural pride, they refuse help despite Fukushima having dumped 23,000 truckloads of radioactively contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean. The ice wall meant to prevent leakage from the plant appears to be an engineering failure (as previously documented: 3; see also other technical hurdles: 4). Tepco blunders on, marauding the global commons like the deranged bandits who pillaged farmers crops in Seven Samurai. Ring Of Fire Gundersen noted that Japanese banks are demanding the restart of the nuclear reactors, despite clear public reluctance or opposition to doing so. The banks loaned Tepco and other utilities money while they were shut down after the 311 disaster in order to carry on operations. But it is costly to keep a full staff on hand while no electricity is being produced. The banks, like Shylock in The Merchant of Venice, want their pound of flesh and dont care if Japan is contaminated by another nuclear disaster caused by earthquake, tsunami or volcano. Its just business. Money Rules Look around the world these days. Money Rules. Power Rules. Usurious, Fractional Reserve Banking Ponzi Schemes Financial Scams Rule. Greece is now under the control of the central bankers who are grinding it into the dust of bones. The Parthenon may be sold off to Sheldon Adelsen and relocated in Las Vegas. Big banks like Goldman Sachs (GS), who the prolific author, Texe Marrs calls the worlds most evil and corrupt bank, while its CEO, Lloyd Blankfein arrogantly boasts Im doing Gods work are busybodies hard at work stealing other peoples money (5). The excellent X-22 Report often notes that the US central bankers care nothing about the welfare or suffering of people whose lives are destroyed through anti-growth austerity policies, rather only about giving you more DEBT. The business of usurious banking is the art of selling debt as product. Modern society has adopted the mentality of debt slave. Take Over The World Dean Henderson of the Left Hook website offers a historical context from which the Vampire Squid Blood Suckers of Goldman Sachs emerged: Mike Kings new and authoritative history of the Rothschild family is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the central banking cartel which owns much of the worlds money supply and controls the politicians who serve its interests (7). The context is relevant, after a century of struggle is was the Federal Reserve whose creation in 1913 was the final nail in the coffin of the American republic. A private banking cartel, the so-called Federal Reserve was finally able to monopolize US money supply. In the same year the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) were created to force citizens to pay income tax to cover interest on the loans from the Fed to the US government (8). No nation needs bankster gangsters to print their nations currency. The richest country in the world, blessed with resources and ingenuity, yet 20 percent of children are raised in poverty. Where did the money go? After the 2008 financial crash trillions of it went to Goldman Sachs. The Federal Reserve is the fount of insider info to their tribal brethren at the desks of Goldman Sachs where the rigging of markets occurs. Goldman Sachs In The Black, Jack A recent US Senate report notes that GSs own regulator, the Federal Reserve, gave its blessing to this unprecedented and dangerous encroachment by banking interests into industrial commodity ownership and has effectively looked the other way as the banks moved into industrial commerce activities like owning pipelines and power plants. One would think that the mega banks regulator, the Federal Reserve, would be the first line of defense against this type of dangerous sprawl by banks. According to the Levin Subcommittee report, the Federal Reserve was actually the facilitator of the sprawl by the banks (9). GS also helps determine who will be the US President by donating to both political parties (10). Wealthy donors and corporations can now spend unlimited funds on political donations, essentially now owning the political process: lock, stock and barrel (11). In other words, GS gains favor with whoever wins in the largely rigged ( la electronic voting) and skewed US political electoral system. The Nuclear Criminal Cover-Up While President Barack Obama was originally cool on nuclear power in his early years of campaigning, he has adopted the policy that in order to fight climate change nuclear power is a viable option. GS have gotten their moneys worth with Obamas 2013 choice for US secretary of Energy, Ernest Moniz, who is a booster of nuclear power and hypocritically, fracking for hydrocarbon reserves (12). Ever since the Fukushima triple reactor nuclear meltdown in Japan in 2011, nuclear power has been strongly discredited as a viable energy source. That image of a mushroom cloud over reactor three as it blew sky high, propelling plutonium (the worlds most dangerous substance) well up into the atmosphere and even farther laterally alarmed the public about the supposed safety of nuclear power energy production. A mushroom cloud here, a mushroom cloud there, pretty soon youre talking about some real radiation. On average the US has nuclear meltdown near misses every 3 weeks (13) while radiation from Fukushima is still being dismissed by the nuclear establishment as having no detrimental health or environmental impact. What a lie. The funders of high profile studies claiming that low level radiation is practically safe are inevitably from the very same complex of monied interests. It is a glaring conflict of interest where the experts plead with the public to trust us (14). When these kinds of studies are published in mainstream newspapers there is no mention of potential bias in the funding of the study, it is just reported as factual news (15). In reality, the nuke industry is carrying out a war against renewable energy, despite the costs and risks there is no stopping the radioactive monster even though viable and safer renewable energy already exists (16; 17). Uranium, Uranium Everywhere, But Not A Drop To Drink The context for major bank investments into commodities is a world plentiful in uranium and yet hard-to-sell-to-the-public nuclear power. According to the World Nuclear Organization (WNO): Furthermore, the WNO boasts that: The IAEA reports that there are currently 67 nuclear reactors under construction mainly in the Far East, Asia, the Middle East and Eastern Europe (20). For example, China claims to hold over 2 million tonnes of uranium deposits and yet are working on uranium-free nuclear plants in attempt to combat smog. Beijing brings forward deadline for worlds first thorium-fuelled facility in attempt to break reliance on fossil fuels. Although thorium may not be all it is cracked up to be in terms of a safer and viable alternative to uranium (21; 22; 23). *(Incidentally, Chinas hunger for decorative ornaments is driving the worlds most graceful and grand living creature, the African elephant, toward extinction due to the unsustainable ivory trade (24).) Theres Uranium In Them Thar Hills: Nufcor, Nuke-For or FU Taxpayers? The Rolling Stones indefatigable Matt Taibbi has exposed GS bid to control the worlds energy systems: Global Research confirms that It was revealed that GS exploited workers who endured dangerous and environmentally threatening working conditions through their ownership of a uranium trading company and two open pit coal mines in Colombia. When one of the mines was shut down last year due to labor unrest, Goldmans Colombian subsidiary requested military and police assistance to end a human blockade before paying the miners with $10,000 checks to end the protest. GS Fuels Nuclear Power Trade Majias Blog reports that According to an investigation by Michigan Senator Carl Levin, regarding GS commodity units: Major banks such as GS, Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase profit from cornering the market in particular commodities such as uranium and by trading in derivatives. In other words, you trade more than you actually own and thereby make money selling things you claim to own, but dont really. Hmm. Although derivatives can be technically efficient within the trading system, scam artists like Bernie Madoff built his Ponzi scheme empire using derivatives and stole 65 billion dollars from clients. The same is true with the big banks who are underinsured and typically dont have adequate capital to cover potential losses (assuming the taxpayers will bail them out again since they are too big to fail if there is a collapse). In 2010 the BP Gulf of Mexico Oil Disaster is a case in point where there were billions of dollars in damages were not insured by investors. Financial reporter Ronald Orol explains Goldman Sachs unethical involvement in uranium trading: Of course, Wall Street Wizards dont give a rats shiny tail about environmental pollution or workers rights as long as there is a buck to be made. How ironic that Goldman Sachs nuclear trading desk, Nufcor, has dealt in yellow cake uranium from Africa, the same material and location that Saddam Hussein was falsely accused of importing it for an illegal nuclear weapons program the fraudulent pretext used by the Zionist-Neocons in a war that killed and displaced millions of people in Iraq. It is possible that GS is involved in selling yellowcake to weapons makers (e.g. Israel has a secret nuclear weapons program). As of 2014: Indeed, in two voluminous scholarly works by professor Gabrielle Hecht who directs the Program in Science, Technology, and Society at the University of Michigan, we learn that there is widespread complicity in masking uraniums origins by using a two-step export system, cleansing uranium of its provenance by sending it first to be processed in another country (31). This is essentially an illegal practice yet many well-meaning bureaucrats are unable to prevent it. A New Dawn? But lets consider all the evidence, GS also appears to be investing heavily in renewable energy: Or, too good to be true? My colleague Yoichi Shimatsu explained GS investment in Japanese renewable energy bonds as follows: The Bowels Of The Beast Obamas US defense secretary, Ashton Carter, who has made a career out of militarism, opted to pursue the profitable path of science and technology in the service of weapons and war, and the individuals and organizations that design strategies and technologies that require that America remain in a perpetual state of war of some kind. Carter, like Iraq war architect Richard Perle, served as a member of the Defense Policy Board, another influential Pentagon committee that advises on issues central to strategic Department of Defense (33). The Global Technology Partners company lists Carter along with many other pentagon power-brokers as working for their recently Rothschild International Investment Bank allied company in the military technology and war promotion area (34). Meanwhile, Japan shifts into re-militarization mode: The changes in Japans policy can be seen throughout the society, even as the country is mired in recession and the prospects for average people worsen daily. The Nuclear Industrial Complex Anti-nuclear critic and scholar Majia Nadesan sees nuclear as a complex with many constituent parts, including miners; refiners, scientists, utilities, nuclear organizations, etc. that all benefit from the complex (personal communication, July, 2015). The relationship between nuclear weapons and nuclear power is historically inherently intertwined where the creation of the A-bombs relied on building a reactor in order to generate the plutonium used to create nuclear explosions. As Nadesan shows in her published works, Eisenhower rationalized use of nuclear weapons in conjunction with the development of nuclear energy (38; 39). As the book The Doomsday Machine amply demonstrates, the adoption of nuclear power today is often a pretext for third world countries to beef up their militaries and give themselves an edge over potentially hostile neighbors (41). As if more proof were needed, the title of this recent article says it all about how the US is addicted to militarism, war and nuclear technology: The US Needs War Every 4 Years To Maintain Economic Growth (42). Shifts, Changes, Buzzes, Beeps It is true that some high tech companies are aggressively moving into renewable energy (43). But the digital economy uses a tenth of the worlds electricity and that share will only increase, with serious consequences for the economy and the environment (44). While it is laudable that Big Tech is moving away from nuclear power, it is not an end-all solution in itself, as the astute environmental critic Jane Anne Morris points out: Capitalocene Or Capital-Obscene? Indeed, one wonders if moving in a direction of less technology, or at least wiser use of resources and technology is not the answer. Today some people have flat screen TVs in every room of their house to watch one of a thousand cable entertainment channels. If that gets boring you can spend hours on Facebook and social networks diverted by infinite trivialities. But we have lost understanding of who and where we are in the universe. The Nuclear War Against Renewables While capitalism struggles to find a sustainable path, not everyone is on board, including Bill Im A Billionaire Computer Dweeb Gates who actually hails [a] high tech nuclear power firm as the answer to mankinds future energy needs (47; 48). Gates may think nuclear power and vaccines will work best to cull the planet of useless eaters while he can make a few more bucks on the side. But not all hope is lost. In an important new study titled Power Shift: The Deployment Of A 21st Century Electricity Sector And The Nuclear War To Stop It we are treated to an amazing assemblage of data and arguments (Op. cit.). The nuclear industry (and Bill The Geek Gates) is in a war to prevent the development of a decentralized energy grid that could be run entirely on renewables. Mark Cooper, who has written the report for the Institute For Energy And The Environment is working in the independent-minded surroundings of Vermont where small d democracy has a long tradition in the form of Town Meetings. Vermont tradition represents the dwindling American ethos of decentralized, local, direct-democracy unshackled by Washington D.C.s (District of Criminals) tyrannical control over the citizenry. Cooper makes the case for an unshackled, decentralized, democratically operated, electricity grid. The new grid would cater to renewable energy sources, the sundown industries of carbon based and nuclear energy would no longer be relevant or necessary.

Goldman Sachs is also a major Stakeholder (do you remember that term from civics class?) in the privatization of our water. GS is an evil empire We can beat them through creating a PARALLEL ECONOMIC system that is based on SHARING GIFTING: They are partners of Affiliated computer services and there over 100 companies that has near total control of the US govt as contractors and owns our data and medical records and congresses have given no budget for civil or criminal oversight and too many dead and struggling for life as I am under them. THEY HAVE ALREADY NEARLY OVERTHROWN THE USA AND THE CAMPAIGN ISSUES FOR 2016 SHOULD BE THIS AS THEY HAVE GREAT WEALTH STEALING AND SCAMMING FROM THE US TREASURY . THEIR SUBSIDIARY NOW RUNS THE FRAUD DEPT AT HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AND IS COVERING THE SON GOING THEFTS AT MEDCARE OF THEIR OWN PARTNERS WHO HAVE CONTROL OF OUR RECORDS. YOUR OWN PRIVATE BUSINESS IS FORCED TO HIRE THEIR MANAGEMENT SERVICES IN ORDER TO DO BUSINESS AND THEY RECEIVE ALL INITIAL WHISTLE BLOWER REPORTS AS WELL AS MANAGE YOUR OWN DOCTOR TO THE POINT THEY ARE BEING CRUSHED UNDER THE UNETHICAL RESTRICTIONS IN OPPOSITION TO THEIR WISHES TO CARE FOR USK THEIR PATIENTS THE BEST THAT MODERN MEDICINE CAN DO. So I have been warning all of this for nearly 7 years now and still few are aware as. MEDIA KEEPS SAYING GOVT DID THIS OR THAT K WHEN GOVT IS NOT IN CHARGE , THIS INTERNATIONAL CABAL IS Did anyone get a letter from any level of govt this week? It may have come from this cabal as they have been allowed to impersonate them for years now, when they are to identify themselves the corporation a govt contractor for the agency.. There have been not internal audit controls for years either and many of our govt computer systems have not been programed for proper security nor carrying out the laws when doing their computing, either. Congress is ;gagged into even mentioning them in hearings nor on the floor of congress. Who among those running for office is standing up to this or even mentioning this as it matters little what else is proposed, with the nation being robbed of life and livelihood of the people. whose money we send them to spend for the US CONSTITUTIONAL MANADATE OF: for the general welfare of the people and the security of the nation. This has been a thirty year step by stop over throw and its nearly done with loss of our personal rights and the sovereignty of our nation in to A world beast system. that is NOT A WORLD GOVERENMT WITH RIGHTS OF NATION STATES AND HUMAN RIGHTS OF EACH OF US. Linda Joy Adams SO WTF ARE YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT?? 5 OR 6 YEARS AGO I WROTE SOME POSTS ON VARIOUS WEBSITES, SUGGESTING PEOPLE SHOULD STOP USING PLASTIC FOR PAYMENT, TAKE ALL MONEY OUT OR THEIR ACCOUNTS, IMMEDIATELY AFTER RECEIVING IT, USE CASH ONLY, PAY CASH ONLY, WAIT WITH PURCHASING ITEMS UNTIL THEY COULD AFFORD PAYING IN CASH FOR THEM, AND THE OVERALL RESPONSE I RECEIVED, INCLUDING FROM ALTERNATIE MEDIA OWNERS WAS: GET REALISTIC AND LOOK AT REALITY. WELL, THIS IS REALITY. WAKE THE F UP! UNFORTUNATELY IT IS NOW TOO LATE! LIVE WITH IT! OR.. spot on Calling for a national strike would be a start. The last days of business as usual should end with a bang.
