Guest Post from Wayne Mackey — Be Skeptical of Nuclear Energy
Last March, I became aware of a situation that gave me great pause of concern. I read that U.S. Intelligence had captured a U.S. Citizen in Somalia and while interrogating him they discovered that he had worked as a laborer in 5 of our nuclear power plants here in the eastern part of the country. Having worked for NSA back in the early 1970’s I quickly realized that he wasn’t there just for the money. I suspect that he was there probing for ways to plan future attacks on our nuclear power plants. The M.O. was similarly eerie to that of the planning and implimentation that brought down the World Trade Centers on 9/11. Instead of their trying to bring a nuclear device into this country, why not take advantage of the ones that are readily available in this country (our nuclear power plants). The terrorists found a way to circumvent our security right underneath our eyes and used what they found readily available in our aviation training schools and used our own planes as low level missiles.
I suspect this is what this terrorist was looking for when he entered 5 of our nuclear power plants then took this information back to others in his demented organization. It is my sense that these so called secure facilities have already been breached numerous times in the past and that plans have already been circulated among their cadre that may include possible attacks on the water pumps, or control rooms at these breached locations.
All we have to do is to remember what occurred in France in WWII when the German bombers pounded their cities mercessly destroying everything they encountered. France today gets 80% of their electricity from Nuclear Power. They are very proud of this technical achievement. I am rather astounded to think that they must surely have attained an implicit pact with God himself, which clearly states that their country will never again suffer such indiscriminate destruction, or otherwise, such technically advanced countries would fail to have read their 20th century history. To me, this is utter madness.
Last fall, President Obama reauthorized the resumption of the the building of a very large nuclear power plant in Georgia. I too must assume that he received the same assurrances from the Divine himself, that he would never let anyone with ill content in their veins within one mile of it. I believe that there are many in this counrty who question his judgement. I am one of those frightened skeptics.
All it would take is just one terrorists armed with the knowledge of the plant layout and a few pounds of high explosives, to find his or her way into the newly built facility and detonate a relatively small device sufficient to destroy a water pumping station, or disable their control room sufficiently to cause a Chernobal like event. Having lived in Pennsylvania most of my life, much of the time, the wind blows from the South to the Northeast. If a terrorist, either foreign or domestic, managed to accomplish his or her goal, this could result in a massive radioactive cloud to be blown towards Washington D.C., Philadelphia, New York, and Boston exposing a hundred million innocent people to an “extremely large killer cloud.
My question to you then is WHY? Is it all being perpertrated on us for $PROFIT. Is greed our only and ultimate goal? Ot, is it just plain down right absolute stupidity? Are we too smart by half?
