History is doomed to repeat itself without knowledge and understanding of how to change it.  With the links below, you too can learn how we can change history together, step-by-step: 

STEP 1 EDUCATE & SAFEGUARD

If you don’t know what the “Hydrangea” movement in Japan is, now is a good time to find out!  The whole reason why there is an Operation SAVE the Earth at all is because of these "ordinary citizen" heroes:

STEP 2 EVACUATE #FUKUSHIMA NOW

Read about the real story of those sacks #Fukushima fallout debris lining the countryside in Japan.  The longer we let it all sit, the longer it stays a festering problem:

STEP 3 CONTROL & CONTAIN

Did somebody say ‘data’?  When it comes to the #FukushimaNuclearDisaster, it turns out that real data is in shorter supply than radioactive hot particles in the region!  At least someone is trying to correct that:

STEP 4 NUCLEAR POWER IS OVER

What if there was a way to stop a nuclear meltdown before it becomes a China Syndrome-like problem?  New technology may do just that pending more testing!

HEY #FUKUFIGHTERS!

We often talk about the ’nuclear coverup’ by the media but one aspect of it people don’t know much about is how the powers that be in Hollywood have been involved with that pretty much from the jump.  Hear about it more in this recent Nuclear Hotseat exclusive interview!

STEP 4 NUCLEAR POWER IS OVER

When Marie Curie died from radiation exposure in France in the 1930’s, the ‘cleaning up’ of all the toxic materials left behind has been an issue ever since.  Nuclear waste is the gift that keeps on giving!

HEY #FUKUFIGHTERS!

Nuclear issues come up all the time in congress but you never hear about them and that’s by design!  Contact your state representatives via the web and let them know we need a LOT more oversight than what is being proposed in this latest incarnation of the ‘mobile Chernobyl’ bill that’s in the pipeline right now:
