“It remains the case that a way must be found for us to leave nuclear power behind as soon as possible.”-Norbert Rottgen, Environment Minister
Because of the ongoing nuke disaster reactor at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi plant, Germany ordered ‘worst case scenario’ testing of all its nuclear plants. They all FAILED!
The report was published by Der Spiegel. It was discovered that all of Germany’s nuke plants lack the “required safety features” to withstand a level three disaster. Not only that, but four of the plants failed simulations involving small aircraft crashing into them.
The highest safety standard rating for nuclear plants in Germany, is a level three rating. The report says most of the plants can’t even meet level two safety standards.
May 17, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates was recently asked, by CBS’s 60 Minutes, about the war against Libya. He replied that the United States was not legally/technically at war with Libya (that would take a declaration of War by Congress). Instead Gates says the U.S. is engaged in “limited kinetic action” against Libya.
Gates is not the first U.S. official to make such a reference to the war against Libya.
British military commanders have confirmed that they have been given “blunt warning” from U.S. commanders. The “warning”, call it a threat, is against the United Kingdom’s planned withdrawal from Afghanistan.
British military leaders say the United States has actually told them to ignore any orders from their U.K. government to withdraw from Afghanistan.
U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron wants to start drawing down U.K. troops in Afghanistan, starting in July 2011. British media are reporting that U.S. generals have warned their British counterparts not to follow those orders. This is another sign that the United States has no intentions of leaving Afghanistan.
One report says the British were told that they could not count on the U.S. to “bail them out” if they began withdrawing their troops. Another report says British commanders in Afghanistan were told they needed to stay until at least 2014.
President Barak Obama is the Commander in Chief of the U.S. military. If “his” officers are threatening the British it must be at his command.
May 17, Chinese media reporting that clashes have broken out between Irish protesting Queen Elizabeth’s visit to Ireland, and turncoat Irish police.
Pics show protesters trying to break through police lines with a garbage dumpster set on fire. Another pic shows a turncoat cop, in full riot gear, squashing an Irish woman to the ground.
Many protesters are throwing rocks at traitor cops, in images that look like something out of Palestine.
“This visit is part of a carefully orchestrated campaign to normalize British rule and the enforced partition of Ireland. Irish Republicans will actively oppose this visit in order to send out the clear message that British rule and the partition of Ireland will never be either normal or acceptable.”-Sinn Féin
The oldest Irish political party, Sinn Féin, along with the Irish Republican Army and the Socialist group Eirigi, have all come out with statements, or acts, against the visit of the Queen of England to Ireland.
Eirigi has executed the queen’s effigy. Several IRA members have been preemptively arrested for comments made before the queen’s visit. Bomb threats have been made, as well as fake and real bombs found.
The queen still has several days left in her visit to Ireland.
“Firstly we oppose it because it is a waste of money. The second reason we oppose this is because of British imperialism, but most importantly we oppose this because she is the commander-in-chief of the British military who continue to occupy the six counties [Northern Ireland].”-Brian Leeson, Eirigi chairman
Members of the Republic of Ireland’s Eirigi political party, held a trial for Queen Elizabeth. She was charged with 12 crimes, including the Great Irish Famine and the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. After they found her guilty they cut her head off. Of course it was just an effigy of the queen.
“But here is seems an individual or a group with specific knowledge of the dissident republican coded warning system has called to make a bomb threat. The police cannot afford to do anything but treat this with the utmost seriousness.”-Mark White, SkyNews Home affairs correspondent
Scotland Yard has put London on alert after bomb threats were called in from Irish, who’re upset over the Queen of England’s visit to Ireland.
As an example of the ongoing war between the Irish and the English, in April a Northern Ireland police constable was killed when his home was bombed.
“The real purpose of the ongoing massive garda [police] operation is to deter and intimidate people from engaging in protests against the visit by the commander-in-chief of the British military.”-Louise Minihan, Dublin City Council member
Several Irish protesters were arrested just before Queen Elizabeth II set foot on the Emerald Isle. Arrests were made not only in the Republic of Ireland, but in Northern Ireland as well.
One group, “Eirigi”, has announced plans to occupy the Garden of Remembrance. The queen is scheduled to lay a wreath to remember the Irish who fought for independence from her own royal family.
In Northern Ireland, members of the Irish Republican Army said the queen’s visit is “the final insult”, and is proof that armed resistance must continue.
