Famous for being both blind and deaf and gaining intelligence via braille hand techniques, Helen Keller spoke in a British accent in front of an audience:

During a Science Friday interview aired on National Public Radio, filmmaker Werner Herzog stated:
“Our place in the universe… Well, it is here, and that's the place we have, and nothing else; everything else is unfriendly. We cannot flee from our planet, I mean, go to any other planet in the solar system; it's just not inviting. The next star out there is only four and a half light years away, but with the fastest speed we can ever reach… So far, it would take a hundred and ten thousand years just to go there. Hundreds and hundreds of generations, they wouldn't even know where they were going. There would be incest and madness and murder and whatever en route… So, it's not pleasant to move.”
Experiments of False Experience
The very foundation for the justifications of modern warfare committed by imperialist nations fully hinges upon another bleak false reality system which has been based around the “scientific breakthrough” which simulated the invention of nuclear weapons. Totalitarian sorcery subsists artificial power through weaponized storytelling and psychically disruptive forms of horrible journalism. This 20th century government hoax is like a traumatizing bookmark, constantly reminding civilians to always fail in ever developing alternatives, while falsely promising to proliferate that which doesn’t exist, by upholding the state’s promises of “protecting all life” from their perfectly calculated asteroids, all of which never existed outside of fireworks, chalkboards and software evidences.
In this scientific dictatorship, we have been constantly paying to live for no reason.
ζητέω (zētéō) – properly, to seek by inquiring; to investigate to reach a binding (terminal) resolution; to search, "getting to the bottom of a matter."
“IF there is anything on earth like progress, Science will some day have to give up, nolens volens, such monstrous ideas as her physical, self-guiding laws -- void of soul and Spirit, -- and then turn to the occult teachings.”
-Helena Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine (1888)
Before acquiring a talking wheelchair, Professor Stephen Hawking, Ph.D theoretical physics wisely stated:
“Nggggghhhhhuuuuuhhhnnn rrrreeenmenmen eeeennno me. Omnowiwomnewu aaalllwrhegn ma hie.”
Hailed for its often reliable utility in physics and engineering, the scientific method can be used to diagnose problems only to solve them by a purely deductive means. Those who properly employ the scientific method with simplicity are more apt to transparently induce conclusions for any properly conducted experiment by empirical means of disproving positive claims which are false, by the simple removal of that which it is not. When anyone is truthfully extrapolating any real-world experiment toward attentive observers, consistently congruent conclusions reliably form foundational principles in physics and engineering for any society to effectively operate upon. If the experiment is testable, repeatable and observable, the public trust with regard to such an experiment can be positively amplified from within our shared reality, and even more so if the repeatability of it is affordably accessible to those who may come from outside their own respective specialty fields, in order to extract value for themselves.
An ethical philosophical grounding can be a key component in applying guidance to the subjective mind of any scientist, for this social responsibility involves truthful transparency of the method, and shouldn’t fear investigation or questioning. Any ethically charged individual should ideally use the scientific method without bending the experiment, if it is to be a true science. Without the application for this standard of ethics or scientific discernment, parasitic scam artists shall inevitably emerge, producing minor to major consequences while working against the favor of susceptible individuals. Ideologically motivated pseudo-science causes immeasurable problems, and inevitably casts a broad negative effect upon the shared reality of entire civilizations. A more philosophical society allows space for inquiry by allowing subjective discourses and inviting expositional resolution in order to facilitate the achievement of any given objective. In contrast, a more ideologically motivated or totalitarian society tends to willfully ignore or egoistically engage in censorship in order to preserve the image of authority. Authentic individuals are eager to shift hypotheses by allowing any natural phenomenon the opportunity to speak for itself. For any scientist to truthfully communicate those results is mostly useful, however it is due to the opportunities of economic vampirism that scientific corruption exists not too far below the fragile thin ice of the scientific ideal. Skewed experiments are often designed to distort experience by unconsciously de-centering trustees into pervasive forms of psychically destructive hypnotism.
Like a hammer or a box cutter, computer systems are also tools that can be used for building or destroying things, depending upon the extrapolated application of the one interacting with it. More ethical scientists should refrain from the excessive uses of result manipulation from within the interfaces of ever-evolving software, for it holds the potential of becoming a psychically destructive art-form. With moderation, software can still be a useful tool for assisting data collection and measurement, and shouldn’t be completely avoided. The involvement of black mirrored devices would require individuated discernment, thus rendering results into the realms of subjective interpretation and cognitive bias; some see a photo where others who look deeper may counter-claim the photo to be a wizard’s cartoon.
Pseudo-scientific normalizations are often found in the animated presentations of evidences within software or in the proselytizing of chaotic conclusions of nuclear scientists who can be found filming controlled demolitions on realistic looking toy sets from inside some filmmaker’s garage; this scam produces fear-mongering negative effects on eagerly duped observers. While having preprogrammed the public for decades with false doomsday scenarios, rotten politicians are itching to play nuke volleyball war games against foreign adversaries, where both sides of the artificial conflict are weaponizing mushroom cloud imagery. Then arose a nightmarish hyperreality strategically beamed straight into the minds of Cold War generations of people who were all stuck watching low-resolution television sets without rewind buttons, effectively reducing pragmatic skepticism.
The vile rhetoric surrounding these existentially dreadful stunts darkly pivoted the chaotic simulacrum of these artistic renditions into accepting a more restorative order of tighter economic squeezes for civilian life led astray by this mentally enslaving spell. In order to generate subtle increases of income-taxable forms of deliberate punch-down economic sorcery, the gone-in-a-flash hostage situation of nuclear scares would simulate justifications for the very existence of taxation itself, directly benefiting any co-opting superpower involved. By the uses of exaggerated smoke and mirrors through controlled multi-kiloton TNT demolition test explosions, lying statesmen directly threaten their own people by artificially insisting that a grand total of one particular device that is about the size of a briefcase or a car holds the destructive potential to be dumped out of the back of an airplane and indiscriminately obliterate the existence of all life and matter within it’s blast radius. However, if this indiscriminately destructive atomic weapon indeed existed and cleared the city of Hiroshima from its blast radius, then how is it that can we find interviews with survivors? Considering the absence of aerial photography proving a circular blast radius over the targets, the entire situation can only possibly make sense if the city was strategically firebombed. The same applies to Nagasaki, Japan.
And I know what you’re thinking… “What about the nuclear radiation fallout and extremely obscene birth defects?”
We are often told about deformed people and birth defects caused by the effects of radioactive nuclear fallout from atomic weapons or nuclear reactors gone haywire. During a bingo hall interview with Vice called “Atomic Soldiers”, the “atomic veteran” Douglas Hern speaks of having witnessed five nuclear detonations, thus one day in the future, causing his 11 year old daughter to grow a hump on her back, grow hair all over her body, in which he claimed that he and his wife used to shave her twice a day.
In the long-running AMC show, “The Walking Dead”, every episode faces our characters with these ghoulish obstacles: walkers. Behind the scenes, highly talented make-up artists dress up the walkers, as they are actually fully-alive actors who are masked by monstrous make-up, with fake blood and guts, thus effectively simulating the effect of the walking dead, and making the show that much more fun to watch.
How do we know that Douglas Hern’s claim is real? We are not shown any evidence for this claim, but our emotions for the story told may likely impede our investigative query toward questioning whether or not he is even telling the truth. For many of these “atomic veterans” we are told that they were sworn to secrecy for more than 50 years after the weapons tests, and that only now, in this bingo hall can we finally get some stolen valor insight from these goofy freemasons.
When seeing deformed humans in pictures, how can we be certain that this is not an artificial rendering in order to further validate the simulation of nuclear weapons? This effect can be simulated in movies, why wouldn’t they fake it in the perceived reality as well? I can agree that any amount of firebombing or any material weapon could easily be the culprit for severe injury, however there exists no direct evidence of this having been caused by nuclear weapons.
A dialectic occurs with an artificial problem, justifying a nonsensical solution of paying taxes to governments. If nation A claims to have nuclear weapons which can protect it’s people by countering the nuclear weapons stocked up by nation B, in which nation B claims to have nuclear weapons to protect it’s people from the nuclear weapons held by nation A or nations C, D and so on, then that high-stakes situation stifles all these nations into what seems to be a stalemate, such as seen in the Cold War. Like a completely locked up midgame in chess, these rockets that could blow apart entire cities with a single hit are claimed to have been kept shelf stable inside of secret nuclear silos, atomic submarines, aircraft carriers, and so on. This protection racket purported by all nations operates as a justification for the taxation of their own respective populations.
Either they have the nukes or they do not have the nukes.
How would one know for a fact that any of these nations have a single nuclear weapon? Did Douglas Hern really shave his daughter twice a day?
Volatile bluffs of elaborate illusion magic is of absolute benefit to con artists. For example: a poker player holding a 2 of clubs and a 7 of hearts has absolutely nothing matching on the table, but bravely drops a larger than usual stack of chips for the river card. The river now displays a third spade on the table, tricking the active players into believing the raise may represent an unbeatable flush. Holding a pair that would otherwise win the round, the opposing player fears the possible outcome, and capitulates. He folds his cards while the bluffing poker player collects the pot without having to ever reveal his cards.
This metaphor is applicable to the hyperreality of false nuclear weapon scenarios, if only one would simply ask better questions. How did the video camera, the sound equipment, and all captured footage manage to survive from so close within the blast radius while houses were blown apart?
When I was a kid, I used to collect Star Wars Ep. I Pepsi cans (1999), and eventually by the time Star Wars Ep. II came out (2002), I dreadfully discovered that my Star Wars Pepsi can collection had been foolishly shelved for display in the more humid danger zone inside my bedroom. I had underestimated the potential for their automatic demise, as these fragile aluminum soda cans were helplessly slow-cooked in the existential battle against the subtropical climate of western North Carolina. Nature had caused these precious collectible soda cans to leak or explode on the shelf while I was away at school. Deductive reasoning would help me later to conclude that the Star Wars Pepsi cans may have remained intact without explosion, had they been stored away in a more naturally cooled basement area, which was tucked far beneath the vapory chaos of this often-suffocating mist of humidity. But if even we were to presume that at least some of these nuclear weapons are real, then how is it that when North Korea’s military authoritatively wheels out live nuclear weapons onto hot pavement directly in front of the leader and thousands of witnessing civilians, the stunt goes off without any problems, with one very clear example being an existentially destructive radioactive explosion underneath the hot sun? What if an axle breaks and one of these nukes accidentally goes off? What if it’s too humid outside? Could it be that these phallic rockets are just pieces of military art? Why would they need to fake them? If the parade nukes are fake, how far does this theatrical demonstration actually go?
The violent Cold War nuke explosion imagery was briefly flashed into the minds of public school students via television announcements and daunting official radio broadcasts. This dark tactic was a complete rug-pull against the collective psyche by our public education systems. This lowest form of parasitic illusion sorcery actually fleeced generations of students into subconscious agreements, riddling populations with these ghastly mind control games, defaulting the nihilistically traumatized into an unconscious worship by proxy, specifically towards that of destructive nuclear science.
“The majority of men prefer delusion to truth. It soothes. It is easy to grasp. Above all, it fits more snugly than the truth into a universe of false appearances—of complex and irrational phenomena, defectively grasped.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, The Antichrist
Trashy realms of obtusely misused art-form simulates to any susceptible observer a highly insistent system of false reality, rendering the public hopelessly stalemated by an existentially dreadful form of academic mental torture. Public school curriculums coerced students into playing along bi-annual duck-and-cover drill operations, psychically primed by falsely helpful instructions of statist propagandist wizards who made evil reality horror films, remotely instructing the schools about how to barely survive any spontaneous extinction event threats. Bullshitting red telephones rested on the desks of traitorous political leaders in order to play fake war games of artificial nuclear volleyball. School prisoner students were coerced into regularly repeating these needlessly traumatizing drills of what produced undeserved hopelessness via the artificial futility of ridiculously staged duck and cover operations. Intoxicating imagery of the nuclear hoax was flash-permeated into the fragile memories of susceptible children, so to have them accept a philosophy of total nihilism, serving an inverse function facilitated by a mass de-centering.
The existence of nuclear weapons is a positive claim made by world superpowers, but the false imagery errs heavily toward their non-existence.
Improvisational actors don the white-collared costumes of Modern Science™ while being briefly interviewed on condescending television channels. These philanthropy-funded parasites can be found littering cartoon-fueled trash all over the textbooks and newspapers of the scientific realm. By use of fake software evidences, which permeate obnoxious fire-hoops for solving false problems among the psychic realm, the susceptible public grows terrified beyond necessity, and thus capitulates to the spell being cast on tell-a-vision. False solutions arise to solve false problems, which often benefit parasitic secret societies who intentionally perpetuate ghastly hoaxes in order to artificially react to the dialectical issue at hand, thus successfully feeding off a host population. With a proper fear ritual surrounding false evidence, those who benefit from selling products that ameliorate initial scientific fears are often found to congruently be the very same philanthropists who directly funded the very same pseudo-scientific “experiments” that generated such distorted simulacrums of false issues, which is hermetically crafted into real life consequences, intentionally cast upon our shared reality.
An Experience of False Experiments.
“We are the bastard children of a nation whose dreams have died
Everything that we believed in, it all turned out to be a lie
And change seems oh so difficult, acceptance is the common voice
Powerless against their power
We act like we don't have a choice
Weapons of mass deception
Fear is the greatest weapon
Used to maintain their control
Cause the scared do what they're told
Dangers lurking in every corner, minds clouded with mistrust
New witches for them to burn, smoke covers the bloodlust
False fears installed in masses, so real issues go ignored
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes
Total power is their reward
Control through fear
A reign of terror is here
Control through fear
The terrors powers made clear
The end is near”-The Unseen, State of Discontent (2005)
“Six feet. Stay at home. Save lives. Wash your hands. Wear a mask. 15 days to slow the spread. It’s proven safe and effective. Children can have heart attacks too. Peer reviewed data cannot lie.”
In other words: A sinister snake oil salesman directly benefits by falsely offering to cure (placebo*) something that doesn’t actually exist (nocebo*), by gaslighting the fearful customer into tacit consent for agreement upon that which doesn’t actually exist (nocebo), when it’s merely the fear itself that has been making them sick. By urgently simulating the necessity for the extraordinarily profitable snake oil (placebo that does nothing), the salesman can manipulate the very emotions of the fearful client by introducing such a fake solution to what would otherwise be a non-existent problem.

“O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called”
1 Timothy 6:20 (KJV)
Modern claims made about the scientific method arise from asking a simple question into the technocracy’s search engine. In plain writing from the top of a corporatized algorithm, highly ideological pseudo-scientific agendas receive excuses to exist, which bends the scientific method itself, xeroxing the academic field of science into an egoistic circus.
Sciencebuddies.com writes:
Skewed apart from its methodology, it is clear that much of what we perceive to be conclusive scientific evidence skips the experiment altogether, as can be seen in the first sentence of the major paragraph:
“Do all scientists follow the scientific method exactly? No. Some areas of science can be more easily tested than others. For example, scientists studying how stars change as they age or how dinosaurs digested their food cannot fast-forward a star’s life by a million years or run medical exams on feeding dinosaurs to test their hypotheses.”
“Meanwhile, in our days, Scientists are more self-opinionated and bigoted than even the clergy. For they minister to, if they do not actually worship.”
-Helena Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine (1888)
The problem reveals itself with clues laced out in the words themselves, where we hear talk of “scientific theory” as opposed to “conclusion” or “experiment”. In order to unravel nefarious motives which produce pseudo-scientific trash, what necessitates questioning are the ideological presuppositions lurking in the conspiratorial minds of benefactors who wave flags for a broadly-accepted Modern Science™.
In 1895, Theosophist C.W. Leadbeater wrote in his book “The Astral Plane”:
“Most works dealing with Mysticism and Occultism are characterised by the lack of a scientific presentation, such as is exacted in every department of science. They give us far more the significance of things, rather than descriptions of the things themselves.”
Often wielding condescending explanations without demonstrable evidence comes the hyper-conclusive pseudoscientist, whose artificial science substitutes mere insistence and deadened empty space in place of any functional experiment in reality. Without any observable substance to experiment upon, that absence itself is what renders this particular misuse of the scientific method back into the lines of questioning.
In his 1897 book “The Will to Believe”, philosopher and psychologist William James wrote:
“Our next duty, having recognized this mixed-up state of affairs, is to ask whether it be simply reprehensible and pathological, or whether, on the contrary, we must create it as a normal element in making up our minds. The thesis I defend is, briefly stated this: Our passional nature not only lawfully may, but must, decide an option between propositions, whenever it is a genuine option that cannot by its nature be decided on intellectual grounds; for to say, under such circumstances, ‘Do not decide, but leave the question open,’ is itself a passional decision, — just like deciding yes or no, — and is attended with the same risk of losing the truth. The thesis thus abstractly expressed will, I trust, soon become quite clear.
The reliance upon computer models, trusting experts in respective specialty fields, and overriding one’s own ability to test these experiments for themselves is exactly what shifts the fields of science into the territories of pseudoscience, or scientism. A modern celebrity astrophysicist such as Neil DeGrasse Tyson is openly insisting that the 5 senses (sight, smell, taste, touch, hearing) are not useful data collectors for one to conduct science for themselves.
During a lecture, astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson said:
“One of the lowest forms of evidence is eyewitness testimony. Which is odd because it’s one of the highest forms of evidence in the court of law, which disturbs me greatly.
If you come from a lab to a science conference and say, ‘This is true’…
…We say, ‘How do you know this?’
‘Because I saw it.’
That’s really the end of your talk, and you just leave…
And then we say, ‘Come back when you have a chart recorder, to just give me something that does not have to flow through your senses.’
…Because your senses is some of the worst data-taking devices that exist, and science did not achieve maturity until we had instruments that either extended our senses or replaced them.”
Though we may entertain this line of thought, the inverse function of this steers any science-trusting mind further towards an ultra-efficient worship of data. Science simulates an endless process often producing end products of even more ideas, while on the contrary, engineering utilizes this method as a tool to produce end products that exist in reality, which is useful. Sharing information to other subjects usually results in someone using video recording devices, and trying to provide more scrupulous evidences to support their case with context and transparency. Perhaps the person saw it and also gathered a recording of it with a handy video camera. This could easily replicate the two senses of sight and sound, something of which chart recorders themselves cannot ever make a proper substitution for. Security cameras can be used to identify and catch criminals, and video recordings can help find the truth of a crime, while chart recorders may detect cultural patterns in order to assist corporations to manipulate trends with control groups. Ironically, all possibilities of getting closer to cosmological truth is quickly shooed away and conveniently overlooked by Neil DeGrasse Tyson, who has openly claimed that he refuses to ever debate anyone who disagrees with his chosen cosmological model, while the opposing side has clearly shown willingness to discuss this openly.
During his “Negation of the Real” speech, author James Lindsay stated:
“It’s called ‘negating the real’
…we need to obliterate reality if we're going to substitute in a fake. There's no other way to get people to accept a fake reality; you have the power of your own senses. What do we always say when we want to point out a totalitarian thing?
‘Don't believe your lying eyes’
‘Don't believe your lying ears’
‘Don't believe your own senses.’
Your senses actually allow you to contact truth.
If you're a Christian, you believe the law is written on your heart; it allows you to contact truth.
Theyhave to obliterate that.
Theyhave to negate your access to the real in order to substitute the hyperreal in its place.Theycan't give you the artificial unless they get rid of the actual for you, and that's very important to understand.”
For any independent thinker who carries an inner dialogue, the subjective hallucinatory experience traverses into levels of reflective interpolation, lucidly daydreaming far beyond the widely-accepted limitations as defined by schools of thought which enshroud us with the ego boundaries of applied physics and starkly unmoved empirical sciences. This revolutionary act of self discovery begins with the entranced becoming more open to the possibility of breaching past the ego’s simulated boundaries, in order to discover one’s own divine inner world. Similar to the wi-fi nodes that induce a wireless state of connectivity via Ethernet, the collective unconscious is accessed by psychically esoteric means, where it’s layers can be observed for oneself through acts of transcendental meditation, mirror and candle work, or by ingesting balanced amounts of mycelium, vast arrays of alchemical potions, acacia root bark extractions, burning spirits, etc. sourced from nature as closely as possible.
(However, one must always bear in mind the expansive mycological studies of that which may be potentially poisonous, so not to accidentally create damage with any unnecessary sickness that could have otherwise been averted by fruitful research.)
In 1964, mystic astrologer Manly P. Hall wrote in his book “Paracelsus: His Mystical and Medical Philosophy”:
“Paracelsus held that true knowledge is attained in two ways, or rather that the pursuit of knowledge is advanced by a two-fold method, the elements of which are completely interdependent. In our present terminology, we can say that these two parts of method are intuition and experience. To Paracelsus, these could never be divided from each other.
The purpose of intuition is to reveal certain basic ideas which must then be tested and proven by experience. Experience, in turn, not only justifies intuition, but contributes certain additional knowledge by which the impulse to further growth is strengthened and developed. Paracelsus regarded the separation of intuition and experience to be a disaster, leading inevitably to greater error and further disaster. Intuition without experience allows the mind to fall into an abyss of speculation without adequate censorship by practical means. Experience without intuition could never be fruitful because fruitfulness comes not merely from the doing of things, but from the overtones which stimulate creative thought. Further, experience is meaningless unless there is within man the power capable of evaluating happenings and occurrences. The absence of this evaluating factor allows the individual to pass through many kinds of experiences, either misinterpreting them or not interpreting them at all. So Paracelsus attempted to explain intuition and how man is able to apprehend that which is not obvious or apparent. Is it possible to prove beyond doubt that the human being is capable of an inward realization of truths or facts without the assistance of the so-called rational faculty?”
This transcendent experience within makes way for theosophical traditions to effectively supersede the scientific method of gathering data, and instead extrapolate them through philosophy and weirding arts, which leans more heavily upon a balanced mix of divine intuition influenced by spiritually-charged psychedelic experiences. Upon having integrated the psychic shadow, open-minded souls may have the opportunity to enter into ascendant mental states beyond physicality. By way of intentionally transcending the five senses as a conduit towards extra-sensory perception, one may gain deeper accesses into the subconscious mind. These layers of the psyche exist in dream-like realms, much like peeling an onion to reveal a thin film, occluding another layer of onion beneath it. A metaphorical knob-turning of psychic frequency occurs within the transcendent mental realms, as it patiently awaits beyond words and thoughts. For failing to ever ask better questions, atheistic empiricists deny themselves access to these spiritual realms, for sake of fictionalizing the fifth element of æther, and worshiping the fact-checked pseudo-reality as an insufficient higher power, generating a seemingly unreachable itch of perpetual anxiety. They fail to observe the magical entertainer who learned how to pull rabbits out of hats.
In an intentionally de-centered state, vulnerability emerges, and the mind of the subject enters into a more supernatural flow-state. When properly managed by any well-guarded practitioner, this altered state of consciousness can be useful for explorations that go above and beyond the material state of existence.
Astral projection begins by exiting the experience of physical sensation.
The mage Draja Mickaharic wrote:
“Our shared perception of the physical universe by our sensory organs is all that we really have in common with our fellow human beings. Most of us eventually recognize that many of our perceptions, and the experiences resulting from these perceptions, are so unique to us that we cannot really share them with others.
While a majority can agree on observations such as dimension (length, height, breadth), color, and sound, our standards of odor and taste have a great variability, and this makes any observations of these physical senses quite subjective. The more subtle senses— the psychic perceptions— show even greater ranges of variability. Many people seem to be blind, deaf, and dumb to these phenomena, while others have psychic senses as open to these non-physical perceptions as their physical senses are open to physical perceptions.”
Some highly restrictive beliefs of more reductionist academics tend to be existentially nihilistic and egoistically impenetrable, often due to the omissive nature of the curriculums sold to them. The extremely coercive academic system introduces any youthful person into the processes of becoming immeasurably indebted with student loans, for the hearsay threat of eventually experiencing catastrophic economic failure. Once someone is near leaving high school, a constant sales chop is fed to teenagers about how leaping forward into universities, and moving far away into some prison-like dorm-room serves as such a good investment for increasing one’s chance of becoming a dream job employee for some far-in-the-future career. With a closer look at how this system operates, it reeks more like a hostage situation, while deeply indebted students spend extreme amounts of time remaining unknowingly enslaved by getting duped into these rat races of incessantly torturous bullshit homework, which mostly serves to vet them for hyper-analytical credences.
Due to this stringent system of forced learning, many seem disabled from unlearning any mental trash fed to them. Spellbound students often mimic general agreement with the heavily-ingrained false knowledge borrowed from spellbound professors, for sake of protecting such a vastly time-consuming investment. Great numbers of people accept the material status quo and go about their daily lives without knowledgeable preparation or spiritual protection ritual, rendering them susceptible toward the will of authoritarian control, and rendering their life-force into low vibrational states of ripe food for otherworldly energy vampires. Without having ever experienced psychoanalytical shadow work, one could find nothing to worship in a higher power except for the simulated flames of an asteroid that will never arrive. Mentally de-centered subjects may then become malleable avatars for psychical manipulation by the spell-casting of a more nefarious hypnotist or ideologically-possessed being. The top-down academic hubris of materialistic totalitarian sorcery, serves to rigidly enforce reductionist visions, thus enslaving minds to operate on more restrictive modes.
Experiments of false experience.
Draja Mickaharic wrote:
Both modern and ancient investigations of the manner of perception, and the operation of the human sensory system, reveal that the physical senses and their interpretation are ultimately subjective. They are particular to the individual, rather than objective, and can not always be agreed on by the community. Anthropological research has indicated that physical perception by our sensory organs may be culturally subjective as well, and really not uniform through the human family as a whole. For the majority of humanity, the perceptions of the non-measurable physical, as well as the non-physical senses, are entirely subjective. These perceptions are based upon references which the individual does not share with family or community.
When we classify various modes of magical practice, it will necessarily be subjective and will relate to individual perceptions. The practice of magic is seldom objective, and is seldom examined objectively by the community. The practice of magic is usually a subjective and personal experience.
Magic will never become a science because it is not measurable, nor can it be precisely replicated. These are the two tests which must be met by any real science. A physician friend said the same thing about the practice of medicine. He told me that while parts of medicine can be very scientific and meet all of the tests of a science, the practice of medicine itself was an art. As with any art, some people are better at performing it than others.
Where does the scientific method come from?
Contrary to blinding yourself or shutting off your senses, the Socratic method induces a state of questioning things in order to burn off the deadwood, and arrive somewhere closer to what is true. In Zetetic Philosophy, the application of questioning backs the false into a corner by a series of Socratic questions. It seeks, it unmasks, and it provides testable, observable experiments in order to share with others the results of any given experiment.
Looking back to the Greeks, Plato is our main source to know directly of Socrates’ existence, and for this Socrates character to question things into oblivion, ironically failed to write anything. Perhaps he was just running around asking questions until people just wanted to kill him, or… Whatever here’s a question.
Why did Bruce Wayne turn himself into Batman?
Expanded upon by Aristotle’s Philosophy, one would highlight what is observably false, and then eliminate the false from possible agreement toward seeking to understand the laws of nature. This is an effective method towards generating more acute hypotheses that tend to reach conclusion or consequence, without the hypothesis being a completely random guess. This eliminates from equation what is not true, in order to achieve a not false scientific explanation amidst the remainder of what still has a n>0 chance of being true. This transparent application of the scientific method may reduce problems coming from the public trust toward social institutions and amplify what authorities consider to be a “general scientific consensus”, and it can put to rest anything that does not satisfy as sufficient evidence towards the claim. The experiment must be displayed, transparent, and easily duplicated in order maximize its efficacy, in order to best separate the experiment in question from pseudoscience. We see this every day with engines, culinary arts, paintings, music, geometry, architecture, and so on. However, I do not find any evidence for how anyone could capture and describe any general scientific consensus without reading nearly everything ever analyzed and written, so it all becomes reduced to a simpler question beneath it all: “How do you know that?”
Within the scientific framework, all of the sacrosanct notions that are based on “theory” are only hearsay. At best, all of that which constitutes as “theory” remains in the state of hypothesis, since it is without a testable experiment or sufficient conclusion.
Examples of this include “germ theory”, “the speed of light”, “the existence of a virus as a cause of disease”, “global warming”, “Bohr’s atomic model”, “atomic weapons”, “climate change”, “the law of gravitation”, “paleontology”, “government”, “space travel”, “corporation”, “pediatricians”, random excuses appealing to a “general consensus” and so on.
The scientific method has been abandoned by the scientific community, and it has been fragmented by the excessively baseless conclusions which over-complicate it by the ideological destruction of accessible or testable experiment. Straight to the point, the scientific method is where a theory or opinion / hypothesis is put forward that matches what we observe in the laws of nature.
Everything we were ever taught in public schools should be further questioned.

“There is definitely depleted uranium being used in non-nuclear weapons in the middle-east and these have indeed caused birth defects etc. and are highly radioactive. I was watching something about how the use of depleted uranium has completely made tank warfare obsolete because one hand-held depleted uranium round can eat through the tanks then asphyxiate and burn everyone inside as it incinerates and instantly uses up all the oxygen. Nuclear chain reactions have never been shown to exist, all the nuke test footage is fake, the Hiroshima/Nagasaki footage is spliced, vegetation started growing immediately and it is a thriving city now. No thousands of years of radiation, no birth defects. The areas had clearly been fire-bombed and were not the result of single centralized explosions. The military certainly has devastating weapons of mass destruction, but they are not "nuclear" and their use would not result in the Hollywood super-radioactive fall-out apocalypse - that is all just fear porn.”
The Nuclear Scare Scam: Galen Winsor
[This video was made in 1985 and recently digitized and posted online by Liberty in Our Time. Winsor died in his eighties, of natural causes, in 2008. Video transcribed by Kristen Judd and Jane Orient in May 2014.]
“I am pleased to have as our guest Mr. Galen Winsor from Richland, Washington. I first heard of Galen from a tape that somebody gave to me some months ago, and I found his story to be absolutely fascinating. His story is unique, to say the least. Galen has been in 77 different cities in the last two years lecturing on the subject of nuclear energy. The majority of his life, the last 35 years, he spent processing plutonium from nuclear reactor sites. He has worked in the Manhattan Project facilities in Hanford, Washington; Oak Ridge National Laboratories and Nuclear Plant in Oak Ridge, Tennessee; General Electric’s Midwest Fuel Recovery Plant in Morris, Illinois; General Electric’s Fuel Fabrication Facility in San Jose, California and Wilmington, North Carolina; and he has worked in every major reactor decommissioning project around this nation up to this present time. His major work in these projects has been in the analytical process inventory control, which means that he was responsible for the measuring and controlling the nuclear fuel inventory for these projects. Galen Winsor has few peers in the world in this area of expertise, and those few peers admittedly know and agree with the things that you’ll be hearing on this tape; however, except for two or three of these experts, they have all chosen to remain silent for reasons which only they know, leaving this man then the burden of leading this lonely battle of exposing what we call The Nuclear Scare Scam. He is without question one of the world’s foremost authorities in nuclear radiation measurement, and he is recognized by members of the Atomic Energy Commissions of all the major nations of the free world. Mr. Galen Winsor.“
“Thank you.
We’ve been considering today how best to approach this subject so that you would feel comfortable with where I am, and we thought it might be appropriate to start with how I got involved in this game.
Now in 1945, I was a navy radioman out in the Pacific on a destroyer aimed for Japan. We had a one-way ticket (that’s all you get, just one way). So as we were becoming proficient at our business of fighting war, the Manhattan Project caught up with us and did a job.
Now the weapon that was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, on August 6, 1945, was a U235, a fully enriched U-235 weapon, where the material was separated and purified in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The one that was dropped August 9th on Nagasaki was a plutonium weapon made at Hanford. But to those of us out in the Pacific, it was quite interesting. It had a ticket on it that said, “You get to go home.” I was impressed.
Now I was stuck out on Guam after the hostilities quit and was running a radio broadcast that communicated with 4500 ships…, quite a few to listen to every dot and dash that I made, so I was used to having people listen to me. They couldn’t see me, but they could sure hear me. I had all of the good messages that were to come to them. Fleet movements to Red Cross messages. They came along one day and said, “We’d like to have radiomen to Eniwetok for the atomic bomb test.” Not me. No way. I want to go home. So they went through and they took every third radioman to go to Eniwetok. I didn’t go. They let me come home.
But I wanted to go home. I had a driving need within me that said, “Hey, that big firecracker—I want to know how it works. I want to know everything about how it works.”
So, back to the ranch in Nevada where I grew up and stacked hay all summer, gained back the 40 pounds I lost out there in the islands and went to Brigham Young University in fall of 1946 in chemistry classes. Dr. Joseph Nichols could make an old farm kid like me love chemistry. I hadn’t had any chemistry in high school, but the way Joe Nichols taught it, I wanted to know. So chemistry it was. And some neat guys like Carl Eyring [?] taught me physics.
Along in ‘47 I ran across a cute blonde from Richland, Washington. Now this girl had been a telephone operator for General Leslie Groves and Enrico Fermi on the Manhattan Project. She got to put through the calls to Franklin Delano Roosevelt for these guys. So she talked personally to FDR, and she told me some of the stories like you never heard. She said, “Oh, in those canyons, great things are done.” This cowboy from Nevada couldn’t even imagine what she was talking about.
Well, in 1947, after we were married (I ran until she caught me),… we went to Richland, Washington, for the first time in September of 1947. I saw that those buildings she was talking about were there—1,000 feet long, 11 stories high (five of them below ground)—tremendous things. And people all over Camp Hanford—in those days was a whole army camp just there to secure that place, to provide security—thousands of soldiers. You move around in the desert and out of a foxhole would pop a soldier with a gun in his hand. There wasn’t any horsing around; it was all business.
Back to school. In 1950, I applied for a job up there before I had graduated and they were in such bad need of chemists, I had a job before I had my degree. And so in the last year of [courses for my chemistry degree], mostly English, I did [my homework] on a bus riding 25 miles to work in the morning and 25 miles back at night. I did grammar and business writing and all those things on that bus.
But in September of 1950, I got into this thing called plutonium processing when we did it barehanded, without instruments, without coveralls. We had some of the most peculiar acid burns on some of the shirts. I found one of those the other day. It’s got acid burns all up the front of it. Plutonium on it, too. Amazing. That was normal operation in those days.
We ran those facilities and we ran them so well that by 1965, we had separated enough plutonium when it only existed in the parent uranium matrix to a half of a single weight percent, 0.005 weight fraction of plutonium maximum in that fuel, and we processed enough tons of uranium to recover enough plutonium by 1965 to meet the weapons needs of this country 10 times over for the foreseeable future.
Now we’re talking about a massive amount of work. Hands on. “Do it” type thing. Now there were a couple thousand of us and we were as happy as could be, just working like mad, making those plants run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in a community that ran on shift work—A, B, C, and D shift. The whole community that way—a wartime community—people dedicated to doing a job and we were doing it. And we did it well. No pretense.
[At some point], they began to sneak in people who wanted a radiation monitor behind every reactor operator. Why? We knew how to make these things run. When we got a metal fuel element stuck and it fell back on the trampoline back to the reactor we’d go back in with our feet and kick it off into the pool—smoking, burning. If you didn’t have an instrument, you didn’t know it was too hot, so you just went in and kicked it.
Finally, along came a rule maker that said, “Thou shalt not do that. You’ll get burned.” Oh? I didn’t get burned when I did it last week. But you exceeded the limit. Well, where did this limit come from? Turns out that in 1934, the International Commission on Radiation Protection fabricated a limit for x-rays. It was no longer permissible to be burned by them, erythema (reddening of the skin). You now had to keep a limit of 0.2 R per day. How much is that? Well, you gotta have one of these Beckman instruments to read it and you have to keep time of exposure. There are four requirements on this thing—the size of the source (therefore the strength of the source), the distance from the source, the time of exposure, and the intervening shielding to keep from getting burned.
Oh, fine. We’ve been doing this thing for years now and we’ve never gotten burned, so now why have we got these rules? They said, “Yours is not to ask questions, yours is to do and die. Don’t you ask questions. If you do, you might disappear.” Those who broke the rules didn’t appear the next day. Military rule? Oh, yes. Absolute? What was your appeal? The people you were working with one day, when they weren’t there the next day, you didn’t go and inquire why. You were just grateful you still had your work to do, and you kept right on doing it. Now this is in the United States of America.
Well, in 1960, we found out that the materials we were working with, the things we called “high-level waste,” that if you waited three years, these million-gallon tanks that high-level waste went into boiled off 15,000 gallons of water a day. Fairly hot? Oh, yes. This material, if it ever broke a line, would seal itself off in the ground within about a foot, make its own glass. It wasn’t going to go anyplace. We did that a time or two (accidentally, of course).
And so we started packing this cesium-137 in casks and railroad cars like that and shipping it to Oak Ridge, Tennessee. And they took it out and made it into a barium titanate and pressed it into a pellet, and those these were so hot that they actually glowed in the dark from the infrared heat. Now thermoionic conversions came along at this time, so you hooked these little heat sources up to thermionic converters and you took electricity out the side. No moving parts. These things went into the SNAP [Systems Nuclear Auxiliary Power] program and these early SNAP power generators are what power the underwater power transmitters for our nuclear navy. We’ve got a regular roadmap under the sea. All you gotta have is an instrument that knows where to find it and then you’ve got eyes on the submarine. You didn’t know that, did you? The power of it came from this material that they now call waste.
We processed that stuff and packaged it outside at Hanford. We had rules that said 3 R per year, your allowable exposure, that amount of gamma energy that will expose a film pack, but that was for the people that didn’t know. We weren’t about to follow those rules. We just went ahead and did the job. They sent around an investigation slip that says, “Your dosimeter was overexposed two weeks ago. What did you do?” And they had a cute little form on it that says, “Accidentally exposed to light” and that was the one I always used to check. Because it’s the same amount of light. You know, if you get gamma through the film pack, it’s the same amount of light as you get when you click the lens on a camera. They wanted to limit us to that and one day we looked up and they had. They had limited us to that amount of exposure. Then the fun part of the game begins. You say, “Who limited us to that?” Are they powerful? Yeah, they control the purse strings. They live by the Golden Rule: Them that’s got the gold makes the rules. If you like your work, you keep the rules. If you don’t keep the rules, you disappear. Sure enough, some of us disappeared. Some of my friends? Gone. Where’d they go? I don’t know.
Well, two years ago I started traveling for the American Opinion Speakers’ Bureau, and one of the documents that they had was Major Jordan’s diary. A story of shipping the technology and the materiel that was developed at Hanford in 1944 directly to Russia on US Air Force planes out through Great Falls, Montana, and Fairbanks, Alaska, under the auspices of one Harry Hopkins and with the at least tacit approval of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Now what are you gonna do? That thing that we had been doing and feeling so good about had been shared at no expense with Russia. You go back and you check the record and you find Russia did not develop their own nuclear atomic weapon until 1949, even when we supplied them the material and the knowledge—four years after we touched them off at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We weren’t happy with that. We were just happy doing our job.
Well, in 1965, General Electric was ready to leave Hanford. I’d worked for General Electric for that 15 years and they took me out to California, San Jose, and we had in mind to design and build this nuclear fuel reprocessing plant at Morris, Illinois. They told me they were going to build it at San Luis Obispo, that’s how they got me away from Hanford. But that was just to get me away from Hanford.
I got to design the sampling analytical system for this plant. The sample cell was the hydraulic heart of this place. I got to dictate where they put the columns, how high the columns were in relation to my sample cell. One man standing in front of a lead glass window could sample any liquid stream in that whole plant. It took crews of men at Hanford to do the same thing. I wasn’t happy with that, so I built an efficient system. I got to design that. I got to build it—conceptual design, detail design, build it, operationally test it. In 1973 they said, “Forget it, friends. You don’t get to run it.”
We had 170 tonnes, metric tons, of spent fuel stored in the basin and the thenpresident of the United States, do you remember who it was? Gerry Ford. He says, “Huh-uh, friends, no way. You don’t get to run it.” That’s when I started to kick over the traces. Up to that point in time, I thoroughly enjoyed my work. I had no limitations, practical limitations. I had all the money to spend. I was in charge of the design effort. I built it the way that I wanted to because it was technically correct. All I had to do was check with engineers and make sure that it was right and all of a sudden, I was told, “You must reduce your limits of exposure by a factor of 10.” I say, “Huh-uh. I won’t do it.” First thing you know you got the word that says, “Oh, yes you will.” I said, “No way.”
Well, that’s when the rebel Galen Winsor started to show up. And when I found out that by management conference I couldn’t get to these guys, I figured out another way. Now in this pool, in this plant, is a beautiful pool. It’s got a place to store spent fuel bundles that won’t stop. 660,000 gallons of water, demineralized, just as clear and pretty as it can be, heated to 100 degrees Fahrenheit when the outside temperatures were -20 with wind chill factors down to -60, and I found out that I could swim in that rascal. You turn off the lights at night, and it had a light blue Cherenkov effect. And this kid from Nevada that never could pass up a warm swimming hole used to go swimming in that pool. There wasn’t anybody that had the nerve to swim with me, but since I was manager of safety and analytical services of this plant, it was mine to use. Oh, boy. I found out that I could do that.
I showed some financial types one time that I could stir that pool with my bare hand and check out through the same radiation monitors that they did without triggering it. GE didn’t like it. I got a letter from them that says, “Thou shalt not tell financial types that you can swim in the pool, that you can stir it with your hand, because if they find that out, they will steal the inventory. They will know that the inventory can be stolen. Oh? Is that a valuable inventory? This same material that’s been labeled high-level waste by our current government, our current Congress?
Now plutonium is an interesting chemical element. It is created in a nuclear reactor. The Manhattan Project built eight of these reactors at Hanford. The first one took 12 months from sagebrush to nuclear steam to build. It had never been done at that size before. How could they do that? Why did they do it? To create this element called plutonium. Plutonium has been assessed as being the most hazardous material on earth. Now from the standpoint that you can make an atomic weapon out of it, yes it is quite hazardous. Because of piece of it that big (2 ½ kilograms—that’s only five pounds) is the force that delivered 20,000 tons of TNT equivalent over Nagasaki. Indeed it is hazardous. The one over Hiroshima that had fully enriched U-235 in it was five times as big. So plutonium is more dangerous than U235, is it not? By a factor of five. It takes five times as much U-235 as it does plutonium. Therefore, it is the most hazardous thing.
Enter the great pretenders. They said that five grams of plutonium properly distributed over the face of the earth would kill everybody on earth. Now if you can only get one 20-kiloton weapon to go on 2500 grams, how’s 5 grams going to kill everybody on earth?
Early on I had a fear that said, if there is this much fissile material that can undergo a chain reaction, we called it in the beginning, then if you set a match to it, all the fissile material in the world is just going to keep right on going. Totally unfounded fear. It turns out that when you’re in this business recovering plutonium, like we recovered so much of it at Hanford, we found out that if you have it in a solution where it’s less than 5% plutonium, it won’t go critical any which way you kick it. And when you get it to 100% plutonium, you’d better be careful. Because if you put it in more than a five-inch diameter cylinder, you’re playing with fire. You can undergo what is known as an uncontrolled criticality, accidental criticality. The air turns blue. If the cylinder is sealed, it will explode from steam pressure. Steam pressure builds up in a millisecond, which is about [snaps fingers] that long. Well, you don’t horse with it.
And then you find out that there were 8-foot thick shielding walls on those canyons that were put there because they didn’t know how much was a critical mass. They said, “If we make a mistake, we don’t want to die, so we will provide the shielding.” And so the shielding thing started for no other reason than they didn’t know what was a critical mass.
Well, through the years we got pretty good at telling what a critical mass was, and I have worked in a plant where I had half a critical mass in this hand, barehanded and dressed in street clothes, and half in this hand, wearing a lab coat, and I’d put this half in a pocket on this side and this half in a pocket on this side and walk down the hall. If those two ever got together, there’d be a blue flash. They never got together because I was in between them. And we’d do that every day. And each half had definite dimension characteristics, and so we’d take them down and pass them one half at a time and they’d measure it and say, “Yeah, that one passed.” And then we’d pass the other half, and that one will pass too, but they were carefully put in separate bird cages so that they couldn’t get together accidentally. Well, those of us who worked with it enjoyed it. We knew what we were doing. We worked at it.
When the President of the United States decided not to operate that fuel reprocessing plant, I started scrambling to find out what was going on. Many things have been done in the name of health and safety. Don’t get burned; you gotta have a safety record; you have to be safer than anybody else. We were already safer than anybody in the whole world. Well, you can’t afford to get burned with this. You gotta enforce the limits and you gotta keep it, and I said, “Hey, that’s not what the ballgame is at all. I’ll bet you the ballgame is something else.”
And in 1982, when the congress passed the Nuclear Waste Policy Act in 1982, a guy by the name of Mo Udall, I don’t know whether you people in Arizona have ever heard of him or not, authored that bill. It’s called the High-Level Waste Disposal Act of 1982. The material he called waste is the reusable uranium fuel that I had been working on for 32 years. Needless to say, Mo Udall and I do not agree on whether that material is waste or not.
The name of the game, then, is “Who Owns the Plutonium and How Much is it Worth?” The government says to bury it 3000 feet deep into salt and we’ll hold a contest among the states to see who gets to bury it. Oh? Why do you want to bury it? Did you ask the owners? Who is the owner of the plutonium? May I submit that it’s most likely the nuclear power ratepayer. He is paid for the mining, the fabrication of the parent uranium, power generation, and is being charged in advanced for its burial. If you’re paying for it, to whom does it belong? How much is it worth? In inflated dollars, a ton of reusable uranium fuel contains useful metal isotopes are worth upwards of $10 million a ton. Mo Udall says it’s high-level waste. The value of reusable uranium fuel scheduled for permanent disposal probably exceeds the national debt.
Naturally occurring plutonium quantities. You know, plutonium does occur naturally. Plutonium 244 is found at the residual activities of the several, eight at least, Oklo phenomenon reactors across the world, the first one found at Gabon, Africa. Naturally occurring plutonium quantities have been enhanced by transmutation of uranium. That’s the reason we built reactors in the first place. Our ability to detect and measure emissions from these elements is useful in inventory control. When fissile isotopes are present at less than five weight percent, plutonium-239 equivalent and the heavy metal oxide matrix is stored dry in air. It has no critical mass. Remember we talked about shielding because they didn’t know what a critical mass was? If it is light water reactor fuel, at less than 5% equivalent fissile content, you can handle it. You can do anything you want with it. You can stack it up. You can have a roomful. You can have a handful. As long as you keep it dry, it will not sustain a chain reaction. What then is all this folderol about a little bit, 5 grams, will kill everybody in the world? Huh-uh. They don’t know what they’re talking about. And when they say that, they’re thumbing their nose at measurement experts like Galen Winsor. I am insulted when they say those things and get away with it because it has no bearing on the truth.
[This reactor fuel] cannot be mishandled. It will not expose any person to an unshielded nuclear reaction. In other words, no controls are necessary except to prevent the pilferage of the inventory. Have you got that one? Let it register. Do you need governmental rules and regulations and instructions? No way! Then why do we have all of those rules? Inventory control practices capitalized on the fear of undereducated masses who work in the industry. I didn’t say anything about ordinary people, now. I’m talking about the people who have worked in the industry, and those who cast stones from without. The Ralph Naders, the Jane Fondas.
Now it doesn’t take you much thinking to find out that maybe the industry is the source of the problem. The industry is the one that made up the committees that made the rules that the Congress enforced. You ever thought of it that way? The strangest kind of featherbedding that’s ever been dreamed up? It makes railway engineers look like pikers. The only amounts of fissile process materials that are of health concern to the handlers are those that can accidentally cause an unshielded nuclear chain reaction or that will cause erythema from the shortest wavelength, highest frequency, and therefore the most easily shielded ultraviolet light emissions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Big words. Let’s see what they mean. The emissions from uranium, plutonium, cesium, all of those things are only important if you assemble an amount that if you get this amount and this amount together it can go critical. You can get a blue flash and therefore get burned and that’s happened 34 times in the business, and eight men have died as a result of that. Accidental criticality. Documented in Los Alamos document 3611, if you want to check the source. Or if you got enough of it together that it’s giving off ultraviolet light of this particular wavelength and frequency, without any intervening shielding, enough to burn you—sunburn you—erythema, reddening of the skin. If it’s less than that, if the effect is less than that, then what is the problem? Excessive government regulation. That’s what the problem is.
Tritium. Heavy water. Deuterium is hydrogen-2, tritium is hydrogen-3. If you let an inventory get away from you, what’s going to happen to it out in the biosphere? Nothing other than it will become diluted and join the naturally occurring inventory of tritium, because tritium is created in the upper atmosphere by sunlight. We have a natural inventory of tritium. Then the only thing that happens when you release tritium, which is the trigger mechanism for bombs—it’s the source of the push that makes it go—is that you lost a valuable inventory. Then what of these people that are pretending that a little bit of tritium is going to do you in? It is not so.
What are those two points? Only if it is an economically recoverable concentration or if it has a natural reconcentration mechanism. You know there isn’t any one of the radioisotopes out there that has a meaningful level of reconcentration in any of the species, not even the oysters in the bays in Maryland below Calvert Cliffs? Hmm. Why then are we still playing this game that any amount of this material is of hazard?
Reusable uranium fuel, which has been isotopically enhanced in power-producing reactors, is a valuable national resource, not a high-level waste. The utility operators recognize the future worth of this commodity. Mo Udall, in that Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 imposed a tribute of a mil/kilowatt hour, a dollar per megawatt hour, on all electricity produced in a nuclear plant so that they can research and develop methods to throw it away.
Why do the utilities willingly pay this amount to the Secretary of Energy to limit their liability exposure? Who pays that amount anyway? The consumer of nucleargenerated power. You have no choice, and therefore, I call it a tribute. At the same time, they have provided their own storage basins at these reactors at ratepayers’ expense to retain ownership control of the plutonium resource. So you consumer, you ratepayer, you taxpayer, are paying for the storage of this fuel, and WNP-2 at Hanford has storage that will take them through the turn of the century and yet every day they are paying a tribute to the Secretary of Energy with the concurrence of the United States Congress and signed by the President of the United States in 1982, 1983. Who was that? Ronald Reagan.
They have provided those storage basins at ratepayer expense to retain ownership control of the plutonium resource. I started playing a game one day, seven years ago. I said, “Okay, Portland General Electric. You got the Trojan reactor; you got a storage basin problem. I’m gonna make you an offer.” I made them an offer that says, I will take all of your spent fuel, FOB your basin, if you will give it to me. In other words, I will take it off your hands at no expense to you. I will ship it. I will store it. I will do everything that needs to be done to that fuel. And you know what they told me? Can I quote them? “Go to hell, Galen Winsor. We value it more valuable than platinum or gold. We’re going to play the plutonium futures ourselves.”
Now where did I learn that the name of the game is “Who Owns the Plutonium and How Much Is It Worth?” The first plutonium I saw was in a glass tube on the newsreel when I got back from the Pacific in 1946 and that that they had in a glass test tube they said was worth half a million dollars. Certainly they had less than 5 grams of plutonium in that tube. That’s pretty expensive stuff. And so for the show, they put a pot underneath it in case they dropped it. They said, we don’t want to have to pick it up out of the rug.
When we decided, when it was decided for us, not to operate this plant, plutonium was guaranteed and backed by the federal government at $43/gram. That’s quite a price drop, don’t you think? When that price guarantee went away in October of 1971, the price of plutonium became $10/gram. It steadily went down to where its present worth on the market is minus $2/gram per year. That’s what it costs you to hold on to a plutonium inventory on a material that has been declared worthless by the utility owners and rubber-stamped by the Congress of the United States and they’re spending billions of dollars building holes in ordinary rock so that they can throw it away, dispose of it.
Okay. What are you gonna do with it? Reusable uranium fuel may be properly stored in air-cooled dry storage in a cost-effective manner. Newchem in Germany offers this immediate and long-term option as a necessary and safe step prior to reprocessing. They’re doing it in Europe. At least four regionally located facilities are available in the United States where this concept can be used right now: Barnwell Nuclear Fuel Plant in South Carolina; Midwest Fuel Recovery Plant in Morris, Illinois (this one); Nuclear Fuel Services in Upstate New York; and REDOX Processing Plant at Hanford, Washington. These fully shielded, already radioactively contaminated storage areas have secure limited access. All have been operated under processing conditions of 10 CFR 50 and the MFRP has a 10 CFR 70 storage license, the only licensed storage facility away from a reactor in the United States. It singly, all by itself, is capable of storing all the reusable uranium fuel that needs to be moved away from power reactors for the remainder of this century. We had that storage designed in 1975 and had the approval of the design. Why then are you spending money over here in New Mexico on the Waste Isolation Project? Why are you spending money at Hanford at the Basalt Waste Isolation Project? Why are you spending money at Beatty, Nevada, for storage when I can already store it in this building that’s already built? I just named you three others that can do the job all by themselves too, and I know where there’s 14 more buildings that can do it.
REDOX (The Reduction Oxidation Plant)and other excess facilities at Hanford are capable of dry storing all commercial ruthenium fluoride (RuF6) until plutonium recycle, at least through 5% enrichment is reestablished, or until the 22nd century, whichever comes first. RuF6 can be cost-effectively stored in existing facilities. Where does Mo Udall come off then saying that you cannot use this plan for its intended purpose unless it is owned by the United States government? He has said that.
The waste isolation projects are politically mandated wasting of national energy and construction resources. Plutonium proliferation by diversion of stored reusable uranium fuel is of minor importance compared to global availability of fully enriched uranium by laser isotopic separation. Let me explain that last thing that I said. Jimmy Carter said you can’t ship plutonium to India, but in the same paragraph said you may ship them fully enriched uranium. Oh, Jimmy Carter. That peanut brain. What did he just say? He says that when the Israelis took out the reactor in Iraq they had fully enriched uranium from France. And they said, those rascals, those Iraqis, are going to take that fully enriched uranium, put it in that reactor, irradiate it to plutonium, and therefore have to recover the plutonium in a plant like this, and we stopped them. When the fully enriched uranium makes a better weapon than the plutonium in the first place.
Now when the President of the United States says things like that, and when the press gives it credibility, I get insulted. And right after I get insulted, I get angry. And I’ve been angry for quite a while now. And finally one day, I said, “My own personal security is not important. I think I’ll go tell this tale.” All I want is to tell my story. The commodity that I communicate is called truth. And so then I ask you a question, a very brief, pointed question: Who owns the plutonium, and how much is it worth? Then I’m going to attach onto that a question I want you to think about until we talk again. If you haven’t been burned by this particular source of radiation, what is your problem? You obviously have one. Otherwise, you would join with me in telling the truth about this particular commodity. And so yes, I’m recruiting helpers. What happened to the guys who taught me the business? Thousands of them. The hands-on business. Where are they? They’re still there. Why don’t they talk? Who are the “they” that say, “This is the way the business is going to be run whether it makes sense or not”? “
The Nuclear Scare Scam—Part 2 (Interview)
Q [Questioner]: We’re back with Galen Winsor and we’re talking about the nuclear scare scam. Galen, it seems to me that from what I’ve heard you say, that this scaring of the people is better than a lock and key to keep this stuff out of the hands of those who might be interested in investigating and keeping this valuable material hidden for just an elite few.
GW [Galen Winsor]: This is probably the way that it works best, and so then the secret was to keep from letting other people know that it could be handled because first of all, we weren’t accepted by the community, and the materials that we were working with, they feared. But there were a certain few people that realized its real worth, its potential to be used in ways other than to support our national defense.
Q: Let me ask you a question, Galen. Are you worried, do you have reason to be worried about your personal safety? Because the kind of people that you’re describing here are powerful people and if you’re still around, I wonder how much longer we can expect you to be in this game.
GW: Well, on the 13th of December last year, the NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) Region 5 turned out a federal SWAT team to get me on a federal warrant issued by Bob Thomas out of Walnut Creek, California. It was kind of funny in a way. They turned out this federal SWAT team at Hanford. They had my picture and alongside it says, “This is an irrational individual. He poses a threat to our security. Take aim at any cost.” Now the reason that I’m still here only has one logical conclusion. I have lots of help.
Q: Well, you’ve told us about how that you and others of your friends and colleagues have handled many times this so-called deadly nuclear energy material that the whole world is so scared of. Why weren’t you afraid of it?
GW: Because we did silly things like recover some of the undissolved fuel elements out of the REDOX dissolver that burned a hole in it and we went in and sampled these things by remote process. We got it out into our hands and found out that we could walk around the lab with them barehanded and they wouldn’t hurt us. And we were standing there in the lab tossing them back and forth—uranium metal that wouldn’t dissolve in the boiling nitric acid. Well, if you find out that you can play with it, and it was only 90 days since that thing came out of the reactor and it doesn’t burn you, why should you be afraid of it?
Q: So in other words, you’re telling me that you learned to not be afraid of it because of practical use and application and hands-on experience.
GW: Hands on. We might even have been playing games.
Q: Okay. You say that you swam in this water that was straight from spent fuel used to cool that fuel. And you swam in it.
GW: Yeah.
Q: You told me earlier that you went a little bit beyond that. Would you share a little bit of that story?
GW: Well, swimming in it didn’t have the desired effect. So I decided that I had to be more direct with these people that were giving me trouble. They were kind of hard to teach, so I went to drinking a glass of it a day. I had a bottle of it. The last time I went swimming I filled a 2-liter bottle with water and washed it off on the outside in the shower when I washed me off on the outside so that we didn’t tattletale. You know, with radioactive material, just a trace is a tattletale, so you gotta get it off so they don’t know that you’ve been swimming in the pool and drinking the water. So I took this bottle in and set it on my desk. Who would suspect that the manager of safety and analytical service had a bottle of spent-fuel-pool water sitting on his desk, and he drank a glass of it every day?
Q: And this was unheard of?
GW: Nobody ever did that crazy stunt before.
Q: How has that affected you, Galen?
GW: Well, as near as I can tell, it made me about 6 foot 4 in my cowboy boots, 210 pounds, and really quite a nice fellow.
Q: All right. What then happened as a result of your doing this strange experiment on your desk with this water? What was the result?
GW: Can corporations have a heart attack? I think General Electric had one. Because after they ran me through a whole-body gamma scan in December of 1974, by the time I got out, because I had a plutonium lung burden and it took 45 minutes to an hour to count that, everybody onsite knew that the manager of safety had been swimming and drinking in the swimming pool, the spent fuel storage pool. That cesium-137 had a ferociously high level, even exceeded the NRC’s limit, and I had been drinking it? They knew the fat was in the fire. Now where do we go from here? Well, first of all I got a poison pen letter from the people in San Jose, and they said, “Thou shalt not do those things. They’ll find out that the inventory can be stolen.” Well, that didn’t sit very well with this cowboy because nobody tells me what to do, particularly when what I do is right and hasn’t harmed me. Who are they to tell me what I want to do? This didn’t set very well. I was going to do something about that.
Q: What was your motive in this?
GW: Correct information. As an expert in the measuring system, it was very obvious that I knew the parameters of inventory control, the disintegration rate of each of these isotopes, how to measure them. That’s how we regulated our inventory. And to have these rascals come along and start playing games with the information that I was very expert in, that I had designed the analytical system for this plant around, disturbed me a little bit. No, it made me fighting mad, and I got angry, and I have to admit in retrospect that for the next five or six years, I was more than angry, I was hard to live with. Just ask my wife.
Q: Well, in your estimation then, how dangerous is a nuclear reactor plant?
GW: A nuclear reactor plant is just a way to boil water that’s the cleanest, neatest, most economical way to boil water that you’ve ever seen. And so in my estimation, nuclear reactors ought to be insured under the same insurance policy as any other steam boiler plant, power generating plant, and to have special consideration under the Price-Anderson Act, that means that the insurance industry has already paid off the Congress so that they can have a rip off, charging ever and higher and higher insurance premiums, total coverage much, much greater for a nonexistent risk. What a racket.
Q: Can a nuclear plant explode?
GW: Only like any other steam plant, like Laughlin, Nevada, had a steam explosion. It’s a coal-fired plant, but six men were killed there last year. That could happen at a nuclear plant, but as far as an atomic explosion? Good heavens, no. No way.
Q: What kind of accidents can actually happen at a nuclear reactor generator plant?
GW: You could lose your moderator, and the reactor would shut down, the control rods would stick in and you wouldn’t be able to start it up. You might do several things that would invalidate some of the safety controls; for instance, an emergency core cooling system. The only reason they put ECCS on a reactor is to destroy it. When you start these big babies up, because they’re so big, you only warm them up 50 degrees an hour and they say, “We’ve got an emergency,” so they say turn on the emergency core cooling system like they did on the Three-Mile Island 2, now you’re gonna thermally shock that big machine and ruin it so it can never be used again.
Q: Let’s talk about Three-Mile Island. What really happened there? We’ve heard all kinds of stories about meltdown, and they made movies on it that this meltdown could melt right through the earth clear to China, and we’ve seen a lot of scare stories. What really happened at Three Mile Island? Do you know what really happened there?
GW: Yes, I do. I followed that one very closely. In fact, I know the guys personally who wrote the script for China Syndrome and also wrote the script for the Three-Mile Island Fiasco. Dale Bridenbaugh, Rick Hubbard, and Greg Minor used to work with me at General Electric or the MBH Associates that wrote that China Syndrome script. Not only that, remember that was the time that China Syndrome came out, Jane Fonda story, 14 months ahead of the TMI-2 accident, it was predicted in writing in New York State that that accident would happen one year from the date that that Three Mile Island 2 reactor started up. It started up in March 1978, and it went down on March 28, 1979, right on the day, one-year anniversary. In other words, with 14 months advance notice, the industry still went along with the sham. Nothing happened there except that the owner, the operator, and the regulators conspired to turn it off.
Q: What melted?
GW: The top of the fuel rods, the third time that the core got uncovered, due to internal pressure, blew the top off of some of those rods. They have Inconel springs in them to keep the fuel pellets from vibrating when it’s running. Those things are under compression, and when they reduced the outside pressure and the fuel rods were still hot, it blew the top off of some of those fuel rods. The fuel rods in TMI-2 were internally pressurized to about 1,200 PSI with helium gas so that they don’t reverse dent when they’re hot and running for five years, and when they drop the outside pressure, why, that internal pressure where those hot rods blew a side out of some of those rods at the top. But melting? The fuel is already an oxide ceramic. It’s a pellet. It’s been pressed into a ceramic. When you pick it up and feel it, it feels like metal. It’s pressed so very, very tight and hard, and so no, the fuel didn’t melt. The China Syndrome is a scriptwriter’s fantasy. Right here, I’ll tell a story, I guess. See, I spent three weeks on the island in March of 1981, the two-year anniversary of this particular “accident,” and Tom Hall, who stood alongside Enrico Fermi when they pulled the control rods on 100-B in October 1944 at Hanford, and I were delegated to go to the island and find out what happened, and so we did. We went over all of the records, and everything else and as near as we could tell from performance records, 51 thermocouples for instance, only one of which went over 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The center-lying temperature of those rods when they’re running is 4,032 degrees Fahrenheit. And so they say things like, “Over 50% of the core was greater than 4,000 degrees.” Yes, it was. If it wasn’t, it wasn’t running at 100% power. So they take that kind of information and bugger it all up so that you don’t understand what’s going on. They give you a little bit of it. Well, the worst joke that people could dream up and they say, “You know what the NRC’s worst nightmare is?” No, I don’t know what that is. “Galen Winsor and Tom Hall in the TMI-2 control room for an hour by themselves.” You know why people that know laugh? These crazy guys from Hanford would’ve started that baby up and shown that it would run. We’d have started it up, and they were afraid of us.
Q: So there was no accident at Three Mile Island?
GW: No, they did it on purpose. Shut it down.
Q: Very interesting. Can nuclear radiation cause mutation in people and animals?
GW: If a cell gets too much radiation, it dies. And so if it is a sperm or an oocyte, why, they die. They don’t reproduce, and there are no mutations. I think the good Lord built that safety factor in.
Q: So you’re saying that mutation in future generations is an unfounded fear? GW: Yes. And the studies of the people at Hiroshima and Nagasaki have borne that out. Those people do not have that. Now they show the immediate effects of too much radiation. The women who were pregnant, the embryo showed very similar effects to rubella, to measles, some deformities certainly from that radiation insult, but that’s not the kind of mutation that’s going to go on to the next generation.
Q: Galen, what and where are these burial sites and what’s in them for this socalled nuclear waste? I’ve been hearing stories about stainless steel containers buried in concrete under the ocean boiling for over 2,000 years.
GW: That sounds like a real story. Let me start out by saying there is no nuclear waste, only materials created in a reactor to be recovered and used beneficially. Now high-level waste is radioactive and self-heating, and so fuel, reusable uranium fuel, fits that definition. But if you disregard its intrinsic worth, then yeah, it would fit the definition of high-level waste. But let’s say there isn’t any high-level waste, only material to be recovered and used beneficially. Then what’s the low-level waste fiasco? That’s an excuse for a federally mandated, non-inspectable disposal system so that organized crime can get rid of any evidence that they want, and it can never be dug up again.
Q: They’re afraid to look in there.
GW: They’re not afraid. They don’t want you to. They’ve got rules on the transport, so that if you have an accident with a low-level radioactive waste shipment, why, you call out all of the state police and make sure that nobody looks at it, that nobody gets exposed, that there’s no spreading of the contaminated material, and it’s also so you don’t find out whose body’s in that drum. The situation got so bad that the smell of human flesh was so great that they made it so that you can ship animal biological waste in refrigerated vans so it wouldn’t stink up before you got it buried.
Q: What is, then, in these low-level or high-level or whatever, containers under the ocean?
GW: Nothing. But, you see, they were at one time dropping barrels of radioactive waste off barges in the ocean. Do you know what was in them? Not high-level, selfheating radioactive waste. Probably had a few bodies and a few guns and a few knives and a few evidences in them too. If you drop them in the ocean, they are truly disposed of. You know there’s an international trade in that right now? You can’t do it in the United States so they transship it across the ocean to South Africa, and they can bury it offshore. What is in those drums?
Q: So, you’re telling me then that I needn’t worry about boiling drums under the ocean for 2,000 years.
GW: No. No way.
Q: Thank you. I’m glad to know that. Well, one more question, Galen. Do you feel like a good portion of these men in Congress know this already?
GW: I know they do. I went there four years ago and sat down with the Senate legal staff and told them my hour and a half long sad story and Sam Bollinger, one of the lawyers, stood up and he says, “Galen, if I understand you right, why, you want President Reagan to snap his fingers and make this thing come up straight.” And I said, “Hey, Sam. Terrific. You go ahead and do it.” He didn’t take that challenge. He said, “No, I’ll tell you what, Galen. Industry likes it the way that it is.” I said, “Sam, you really know how to hurt a guy.” And he says, “Well, if we change it, what are we going to do for an encore?” Yeah, they’re fully aware that this thing goes on as far up as the President of the United States. It’s the way that industry wants it. The industry is its own problem, then.
Q: So the question is, then, what is the industry? What is the real story here? Is this an industry of nuclear energy?
GW: The industry has been ripping it off for years and years. In 1975 we knew that large nuclear reactors were dead, that large was not the way to go. The way to go was small mass-produced nuclear reactors sitting right in the middle of town, one every 10 blocks, producing power. We haven’t built a reactor right yet. It’s time that we do it. Why haven’t we? Because of a federal energy cartel. These guys control the amount of electricity, the availability, and the price and they say, “You do not have a choice.” I have a choice. I’m gonna take one of those decommissioned nuclear subs up in Puget Sound, refuel it, and make my own electricity. Save the government $5 million because that’s what they want to throw them away. And I will use it for my own power probe. Quinn Millian [phonetic] up in Omak, Washington and I are moving on that and one of these days, if I hook one of them up to Pier 91 in Seattle, don’t be surprised.
Q: Well, good luck.
The Nuclear Scare Scam—Part 3
“I’m Galen Winsor, and I thought I’d share a few hands-on practical things that have to do with this nuclear scare scam. Now you’ve heard that gamma energy, the kind of energy that comes off a rock like this, is the most penetrating, the most damaging of all radiation. And not only that, here is uranium, the parent of radon. And they say if you can measure, detect radon in a home, then it’s bad. If you exceed the EPA’s limit, it’s reason to run you out of your home, spend $13,000 like they did with Stanley Watras’s house in Pennsylvania the other day to get rid of the radon, to ventilate it out. Ridiculous.
Let’s take them one at a time. This is a rock that I picked up in Naturita, Colorado. 16 percent uranium by weight, high-grade uranium. Hot. I read a thing the other day that says they had high-grade uranium, and lo and behold, it’s too hot to transport, so they had to bury it onsite. Oh, wonderful. Let’s talk a little bit about radiation. If we can…yeah. We picking up? [Radiation meter turned on and clicking.] If you put the probe right there, the meter goes off scale and you can hear it. Yep? Hot. Radiation, gamma radiation, is the most penetrating of all radiation. Oh, is it? All I’ve got between the rock and the probe is my hand. It doesn’t count for very much, does it? What if I put the rock behind me? [Counts audibly diminish.] You don’t suppose they’ve been lying to you, do you? I suspect they have.
Well, let’s do a little bit more. I got a black bottle. This stuff comes in a white bottle. A bottle of NoDoz. You can send children down to the drugstore to buy NoDoz. All they need is money. In this are 60 white caffeine pellets. In this one is uranium oxide U308. You can’t buy it for love or money. The state of Washington sent two of their Gestapo agents over to my home to confiscate my uranium samples on the 17th of December last year.
Got a challenge. I’d like to have somebody in the room to volunteer to take all of this bottle or all of this bottle. The only thing that I’ll tell you is that one of them won’t hurt you and the other one will kill you. Do you want the white stuff or the black stuff? White stuff? If you do, there’s enough in there to kill four men your size.
The government says, “We got to ban this material. It’s radioactive.” Let’s check it on the bottom of the bottle. Not very radioactive. Let’s take the cap off. Oh, goodness. Very radioactive. This instrument will only count gamma energy. It’s just energy. Like what’s coming from those lights. Only you’re getting a lot of infrared from the lights as well as ultraviolet, energy response, and it’s very carefully damped to only discriminate it so it only gets the energy that comes to this. I don’t want it to respond to a light, just to this. It cost me a $1,000 to get an instrument that’ll just respond to this [gamma] and not that [light]. This is radioactive by any definition. Radioactive material giving off radiation that is read by an instrument like this.
The daughter of this, radon, cannot be read on this instrument because it gives off alpha particles. An alpha particle is a di-positive particle that comes from the nucleus. It has two protons and two neutrons; therefore, an atomic weight of 4, and it has minus 2 electrons. And if you grab it with a high ionization potential counter, it’ll count. But if it travels two inches in the air or through a piece of paper, it picks up two electrons, two beta particles if you will, and becomes helium gas and it won’t count on an ionization chamber. Did you know that this thing right here is giving off helium gas? Alpha comes from uranium.
Okay, radioactive material. You pour it out in the hand, and that’s radioactive contamination. Is it radioactive? Yeah, it is. Very radioactive. Now decontamination is nothing but scooping it back up and putting it in the bottle. I just now decontaminated my hand. No, I didn’t do such a good job. Not good at all. Is it still radioactive? Yeah, that’s called residual radioactivity. Now under the decontamination rules of the government, when you decontaminate someone like this that’s that contaminated, and this is certainly a reportable incident under current DOE regulations, when you decontaminate it, it has to go down a controlled drain so that you don’t disperse radioactivity.
Do I qualify as a controlled drain? [He licks his hand.] That material that I just ate is not soluble in body fluids. It was originally at 940 degrees Celsius where it becomes U3O8, known in the industry as HCl insoluble. In other words, it will not dissolve in concentrated hydrochloric acid—hot. Your stomach has 10th normal hydrochloric acid in it, so it won’t even dissolve. The stuff is so fine that it has no texture to it. It doesn’t even feel rough. So it’s tasteless, odorless, has no texture, how’s it supposed to hurt me? Because I’ve been eating this on lecture tour for two years, the state of Washington felt it necessary to confiscate my uranium samples so that I would be safe.
Dr. Fulton from the Hanford Environmental Health Foundation called up and he said, “Hey, I heard one of your guys OD’d on uranium today, Galen.” And we talked for a little while and he said, “Oh, that was you!” And I said, “Listen, I can eat all that stuff I want.” He says, “It’ll ruin your kidneys. How’re your kidneys?” “They’re fine.” “Well, you should’ve been chelated within four hours.” And I said, “You mean you guys gonna follow me around the country and give me chelating agents every four hours after I eat it on lecture tour?” He says, “We’ll give you any medical assistance that you need, Galen. We don’t want anything to happen to you.” I said, “Does that include turning out the federal SWAT team four days ago to get me?” Where are these guys coming from?
Well, here’s a piece of metal, density of 19.0. If you know your chemistry and physics, you know there are two metals that have that density—plutonium and uranium. Radioactive, pyrophoric, density of 19. Outside of a laboratory, most of you can’t tell me whether this is uranium, plutonium, or a mixture of the two. Now I said that it’s heavy, and it is. Let’s see if it’s radioactive. [Holds radiation probe near it.] Yeah, it is. Pyrophoric. What does that mean? Pyro—fire. Black on the end. The spark that just came off there is pyro (fire, burn). If it’s plutonium, I just contaminated this area of Arizona in excess of the EPA’s limit of one square mile of surface.
Somebody laughed. It’s serious. The end of progress altogether says that I just contaminated you in excess of the limit for one square mile. It’s now silver on the end. Tomorrow it’ll be black because it self-oxidizes this black color, like this. All by itself. Plutonium does that, and uranium does that. Is it hazardous? Yeah, it is. Because they take depleted uranium metal and make it into 50-caliber bullets, fire them from shoulder-held weapons. In 1976 they obsoleted tank warfare with these things because it only takes one dogface with one weapon to knock out a 65-ton tank. It’ll go through three inches of armor plate and when it comes out the other side, it’s that white hot spark that we just made. And the five men in that tank are dead. Because it’ll burn all the oxygen out of the air and burn your flesh. In 1976 they obsoleted tank warfare and you never even knew that.
They make 10,000 of those bullets every day in the United States. We got enough of an arsenal to sink all of Russia’s tanks, and our boys in the defense department don’t even talk about it. Yeah, it’s hazardous to your health. It reminds me. Lead is hazardous to your health too, isn’t it? Particularly if it’s in a .45 slug like this and it hits you right here going about 2,600 feet per second. It’s not the material; it’s the impact from the velocity. Let’s be very specific in the words that we use. This particular chunk of lead came out of a human body. My son, who’s a deputy sheriff, thought maybe I could use it on tour. That’s called dying of lead poisoning. Anything less is a figment of the imagination because it’s not soluble in body fluid either.
This is a pellet of cobalt–59. If you put it in a reactor into a neutron field, you can convert cobalt 59 to cobalt-60, which gives off a gamma. It becomes the source that doctors use to irradiate patients to 7,000 Roentgen. The total dose absorbed by radiation workers at Three Mile Island in the last six years is something like 1,500 Roentgen. Five times more is given to a single individual in a doctor’s facility. Now how do you know why I say that the federal regulations are absurd, and if you live by those federal regulations, maybe you’re being absurd too?
Now a pellet of cobalt-60 this size got shipped by mistake to Mexico, got diluted into 5,000 tons of iron. Some of the reinforcing rod came up to Los Alamos, New Mexico, and they said, “Hey, that stuff’s radioactive.” Understand that this single pellet diluted roughly a factor of 1 billion was what they were reading on a detector like this at Los Alamos, and so they pulled back table legs that were in Spokane, Washington, that were made out of the same batch because it was hot and radioactive and it would burn you. When the pellet itself could be held in your hand like that for a few minutes without it burning you. Now Christ walked the earth a billion minutes ago. If I could stretch this pellet out into a wire, and it went clear around the earth and right back here to Phoenix, a billionth of this amount is 1.7 inches of that wire so stretched out. Stagger your mind? It ought to.
Now. Let’s try a little game. The EPA says that 5 pCi/L of air is the limit for radon222. And they handle that like it’s a real number. Madame Curie says that 1 g Radium = 1 Ci = 2.22 x1012 disintegrations per minute, and that’s the basic definition of radioactivity. How many disintegrations is [the EPA limit]? … The EPA, in its wisdom, says that with11 disintegrations per minute from 1 liter of air, you have exceeded the limit.
You know what I did the other day? I’ve been having a little talk with some legal authorities up at my house, so I took one of these bottles of uranium like this and I dissolved it in an Erlenmeyer flask with nitric acid. I have a crack in the basement floor, and I squirted that whole bottle into that crack on the basement floor in acid solution, so it’ll drive that counter off its scale any place along a 10-foot section of that crack…. When they bring the radon measurement in there, you know what the radon’s going to do? It’s going to go off scale in their measurement. [Their instruments] won’t go that high. If Watras’s house was 17 times this limit in it, which caused him to spend $13,000 and give it national TV coverage, press coverage, think what Galen Winsor’s house is like.
I went to the trouble of notifying my congressman about it. Also Mike Lawrence, the manager of the department of energy in the Pacific Northwest, my state representative Ray Isaacson, and a few other astute people, including the bankers and the lawyers and the appeal court. What are they gonna do with that? I set them up on that last Thursday, and I came down to Phoenix. I escaped the folderol. What I’m saying to you is that the federal regulations are absurd. The congressmen that put them into place ought to be fired. They ought to be sent home. The regulators—what do you do with them? Quit paying them! The taxpayer, the electorate, elects those people to go out and do a job. Why do you continue to pay them when they’re teaching you baloney? When they’re putting in regulations that don’t make any sense? Cut it out! Quit paying them. Fire them. Send them home. The term I grew up with says “Can them.” Is it easy? Apparently not. You haven’t got the job done. The majority of the Congress is irresponsible, amoral, atheistic, irresponsible…let’s see, how many more adjectives can I drum up? But that many.
Let me tell you. We as a people sent a bunch of rascals out to the energy store with a signed blank check, and we say, “Hey, fellows. If you run out of money, just go build us a good power plant. If you run out of money, come back and we’ll give you another signed blank check, and guarantee the payment out of the ratepayer’s pocket. Tennessee Valley Authority has the most nuclear reactors of any outfit in the place. Not one of them has produced any power since last August. Browns Ferry 1, 2, and 3 in Mississippi hasn’t produced any power since last March. And they don’t plan on producing any power at Browns Ferry until mid-year in 1986 at a million dollars a day in lost power revenue per plant? And held off in the name of health and safety? Now tell me we didn’t send rascals out to the energy market place with a signed blank check. They’re still getting paid. Those reactors are all fully fueled, fully staffed, and just sitting there. Who’s getting taken? The ratepayer. You’re still paying more and more for your electricity all of the time.
Now Bonneville Power Administration says that 57% availability is okay for a nuclear reactor. Main Yankee is often run at 103% availability, which means that it’s running over nameplate rating and up days out of the year that its average availability is 100%. Bonneville Power Administration and the Department of Energy say that 57% availability is okay. That means that you can let those things sit down 43% of the year, and that’s judged as an acceptable performance on the part of the government. There’s an obvious answer. Get the government out of the energy regulating business. Turn those plants over to people who will run them efficiently 100% of the time.
When we put in zero-release containment we started playing games. About the time that we proved that a nuclear reactor has no measurable impact upon the environment, that’s when they bottled them up, put catalytic recombiners on them. Some of the reactors in Texas were designed not to breathe for eight years, at great expense. Why? When you bottle up a reactor like TMI-2 does, then you get radiolytic hydrogen and indeed, they had a radiolytic hydrogen burn at TMI-2. And they moan and they groan about that, and all they had to do was open up the windows and let the breezes blow through.
You don’t need containment on them. I’m going up to Colorado this weekend to meet with the Uranium Producers Association, and they’re upset because the government is dumping uranium on the market and ruining the price of the commodity that they get their bread and butter from. But what they’re totally unaware of is that the Grand Junction operation office is going to issue a contract so that the new operator has a $25 million budget over the next five years, 80% of which will be spent for remedial action, where you take this material and dig it up. If you find it and it counts on a Geiger counter, you can have them come in and change out the whole front yard of your house, give you a new front yard and a new foundation under your house at government expense. If you don’t do it, they’ll take you down to the courthouse and blacklist your property so that you have to remove the radioactivity at your own expense before it can be sold.
Now do you know what I did when I took that uranium solution and poured it into the crack in my house? I set up the United States government, and that episode is about to be played. Did I do it on purpose? Yeah, I did. Just like I used to dive into that swimming pool and drink that cesium-contaminated water. I found out that it doesn’t hurt me. You need to find out that it doesn’t hurt me or you.
In fact, the only reason for the existence of these big transcontinental distribution lines would be if they could compete with a small, mass-produced reactor sitting in your back yard. Why don’t they want you to? Because they are the federal energy cartel. They like to set the price, the total availability, and whether you can hook onto it and if you don’t pay your bill, cut you off. That’s called power, domain, and control. And they like that. They do not want you to be energy independent. If you had one of these sitting in every 10-block area in Phoenix, you could tell the rest of the world to go get lost.
Oh, there’s another use for that heat. You could heat your homes in the wintertime and you could be cooling in the summertime with it. Heating, ventilation, air conditioning they call it—HVAC. In countries where it freezes, you could run that hot water out and chase the frost away in the spring and in the fall. And they found out that plants grow faster in warm water anyway. So you’d irrigate with it all summer. So cooling towers are called wasting towers. They throw more than 50% of the heat away.
The other morning, coming out of tri-cities, WNP-2 was putting its 700 megawatt electric up through the clouds…. And the clouds were lying all over the ground, and there was a little ice cream cone right out there, and I said, “There’s WNP-2.” It snows five inches every night out at WNP-2, and the rest of us don’t get any. Where’d the water come from? That’s cooling the heat from the condenser cooler. You should have a business right out there, an oil-cracking plant, something taking that heat and using it. Like they built at Midland, Michigan, 10 years ago and they’ve never used. And so Dow Chemical is suing the utility because they never produced the steam for their chemical plant right alongside it.
We got troubles in this country. I’m telling you what the problem is. The doing something-about-it responsibility is yours.”
