Is Hurricane Michael the New Norm? What Risks for Nuclear Power?
Majia's Blog / 1d
The Wall Street Journal has a a front page story and picture of Hurricane Michael's "Trail of 'Unimaginable Destruction'" (Kamp & Campo-Flores, 12 Oct 2018 p. A1). Described as among " the most powerful hurricanes to ever hit the US ," Hurricane Michael represents a state shift in climatic conditions towards more volatility. That volatility is going to have terrible impacts, including disrupting

Hurricane Michael is now a category 4 storm, bearing down on Florida.

Hurricane Michael is bearing down on Florida. There is no news about the impacts on specific nuclear plants, such as Turkey Point. Here are the results of a google search: One has to wonder how many hurricanes Florida's nuclear power plants can bear without a catastrophic accident? Florida's nuclear infrastructure is old and has outlasted expected life-cycles. The Westinghouse reactors at southea

UCP candidates’ reaction to storm over photos with ‘Soldiers of Odin’: We had no idea!
They crashed the party, did they? But I wonder why they picked a United Conservative Party affair to crash? I speak, of course, of the “Soldiers of Odin,” the unsavoury anti-immigrant group founded by a Finnish white supremacist whose Edmonton chapter’s members dress like bikers and have been making a nuisance of themselves by claiming to be the Edmonton Police Service’s little helpers. On Friday
Stand by for renewed attacks on Tzeporah Berman as UCP tries to change channel on ‘Soldiers of Odin’ embarrassment
After a difficult weekend doing damage control about how members of an anti-immigration group with white supremacist links were welcomed to a United Conservative Party beer-and-selfies night last Friday by an Edmonton constituency association, expect the right-wing Opposition party to dip into its strategic playbook to try to change the channel. UCP Channel-Changing Strategy No. 1, of course, is:
UCP finally – after an ever-so-excruciating wait – shows rogue nomination candidate Lance Coulter the door
Give Lance Coulter credit: The guy seems to be a very hard worker. Leastways, the United Conservative Party nomination candidate in the Edmonton-Henday West Riding certainly had to work extremely hard to get himself kicked out of the party’s nomination process. Finally, late yesterday morning, the UCP – oh, so reluctantly – instructed Mr. Coulter to take a hike. The former assistant to the Edmont
Colourful former Wildrose MLA Joe Anglin finds another windmill to tilt at, for Freedom Conservative Party
Last observed pursuing a claim against Alberta’s Chief Electoral Officer alleging abuse of process, colourful former MLA Joe Anglin has found a new way to tilt at Alberta’s perpetually swirling political windmill. Mr. Anglin, 63, who is both the former Wildrose Party MLA for Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre and the former leader of Alberta’s Greens, announced yesterday he would seek the nominat
There’s a meeting in Calgary tonight, and the people there are going to be very, very angry
Two well-heeled older men who never wanted for anything during their upbringings and now live comfortable, privileged lives will be getting together in Calgary this evening to talk about just how very, very angry they are. The idea of a $15-per-hour minimum wage makes them very, very angry. The idea that someone would remove a statue to a 19th Century colonial-era politician in belated acknowledg
As Edmonton and Ottawa awake to Jason Kenney’s (un)diplomatic funny business, stuff starts hitting the fan
Alberta Opposition Leader Jason Kenney and two of his MLAs are running around India again today acting as if they are representatives of the governments of both Canada and Alberta. Officials of the provincial government in Edmonton and the federal government in Ottawa appear to have been so nonplussed by the United Conservative Party leader’s overseas shenanigans that it took them a few days to r

by Hexane [ How can Japan be controlled by Jews? Jews can't play Asians, somebody (a member of this forum) told me that Mao was a (half-)Jew. It's possible that there are Japanese Masons, but the Japanese were always aggressive in wars, they were even brutal to each other (civil wars between several Japanese kingdoms).

by Hexane About Operation Barbarossa, we can make these first observations. Of course, Hitler had to make it quick. Otherwise, logically, England would have been destroyed. If not, it would have been very strange. And he had to make USSR retreat a lot and in a short time, in order to be able to collect many jews.

Ten Points about Brazilian Politics
Some quick thoughts about what's happening in Brazil. 1. Polling 46% is extremely rare for a hard right populist outfit, and tends to be the exception rather than the rule. Not even the Nazis managed this feat in their crooked March 1933 election. The question then is whether support for this kind of politics is about to enter a new dangerous phase, or is something proper to Brazil that doesn't t

The BBC is biased toward establishment politics. As Tom Mills points out in his excellent BBC Myth of a Public Service , it has always protected establishment interests and is now a thoroughly neoliberal institution to boot. That doesn't mean, however, the political leanings and assumptions underpinning the culture of BBC journalism are on show at all times. Part of the corporation's professional
