China worried about potential nuclear catastrophe

Beijing’s envoy to the UN has warned of dangers from the Kakhovka dam disaster

The destruction of the Kakhovka dam on the Dnieper River could endanger the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, China’s ambassador to the UN, Zhang Jun, told the Security Council on Tuesday. Beijing has urged Ukraine and Russia to ensure this does not happen.

“We express our great concern over the destruction of the dam at the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station,” Zhang told the special session of the UN Security Council. 

Noting that the Kakhovka reservoir is a major source of cooling water for Europe’s largest atomic power plant, Zhang added that the water in the reservoir continues to recede “and it may not be possible to continue pumping water to the nuclear power plant in the future.”

“China reiterates that in the event of a nuclear disaster no one can stay immune. We call for maximum restraint, avoiding words and deeds that could escalate confrontation and lead to miscalculation, and maintaining the safety and security of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant,” said Zhang.

Kakhovka dam destruction: What you need to know

“No party, especially countries with important influence should fuel the fire and escalate tensions, much less try to profit from expanded crises to advance their own strategic agenda,” the Chinese envoy added.

Ukraine has accused Russia of blowing up the dam and flooding the downriver towns and cities, including Ukrainian-held Kherson. Moscow has pointed the finger at Kiev, noting that Ukraine has attacked the dam in the past – using US-supplied HIMARS rockets – and released water from an upstream reservoir on the Dnieper River shortly before the Kakhovka dam collapsed.

The Zaporozhye NPP in Energodar has six reactor cores and is the largest atomic power station in Europe. Russian troops have controlled it since March last year. The region in which it is located voted to join Russia in late 2022, though Ukraine claims it is illegally occupied.

Ukraine blew up Kakhovka dam as revenge for failed offensive – Kremlin

Ukrainian artillery has targeted the ZNPP on multiple occasions last year, according to evidence that Russia provided to the UN Security Council. In September, the Ukrainian military admitted in a report that it had struck Energodar. Ukrainian commandos also attempted to seize the facility ahead of the visit by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) observer mission, but their attack failed. 

The head of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi, insisted on Tuesday that “there is no immediate risk to the safety of the plant.” Russia’s acting governor of Zaporozhye Region, Evgeny Balitsky, also said that the current water level near the ZNPP is “non-routine” but still “acceptable.”

“You know and that’s how the world runs. It’s all about resources, all the rest of it is all PR for the Proles” Just like Orwell said.

“In reality very little was known about the proles. It was not necessary to know much. So long as they continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern. They were born, they grew up in the gutters, they went to work at twelve, they passed through a brief blossoming-period of beauty and sexual desire, they married at twenty, they were middle-aged at thirty, they died, for the most part, at sixty. Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbours, films, football, beer, and above all, gambling, filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult. A few agents of the Thought Police moved always among them, spreading false rumours and marking down and eliminating the few individuals who were judged capable of becoming dangerous; but no attempt was made to indoctrinate them with the ideology of the Party. It was not desirable that the proles should have strong political feelings. All that was required of them was a primitive patriotism which could be appealed to whenever it was necessary to make them accept longer working-hours or shorter rations. And even when they became discontented, as they sometimes did, their discontent led nowhere, because being without general ideas, they could only focus it on petty specific grievances. The larger evils invariably escaped their notice.” -Orwell 1984

“Well the book’s thesis is essentially that when formal Empire collapsed in the 50s and 60s that the investors, the corporations, the people that have been in control through a formal Empire, i.e., garrisons of troops in the country where you can just take out a leader, it expropriates your assets or does something you don’t like, when that collapsed they needed to create a new international supranational governance system which went above the heads of national governments, which were increasingly falling into the hands of Liberation  movements. So they had to create this supranational system as you said it sounds tin foil hat stuff but..” But it’s true!

“…that either 1956 Nasser in Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal, France, Israel and Britain invaded; you’re not allowed to do that either you can’t take control.”

“Torrijos kept his family together, he said: “I’m probably next but it’s okay because I’ve done what I came here to do. I renegotiated the canal, that the canal will now be in our hands.” He just finished negotiating the treaty with Jimmy Carter. “So I’ve accomplished what I need to accomplish. I’m ready to die. If that’s what it’s going to take.” And he had dreams about an airplane crash in June of that same year. Just a couple of months later he had an airplane crash. There’s no question that it was executed by CIA sponsored jackals was a pass-off over radio. There’s a tremendous amount of evidence that one of the security guards, one of the Torrijos’s security guards, handed him at the last moment as he was getting on the plane a small tape recorder that contained a bomb.“

 

This is the legacy of our Western civilization. Killing people who wanted to help their people because like Chomsky said:

“US power and violence has also been there to take you down as quickly as it can if countries tried to pursue the path of independent development, what’s called in US planning circles “radical nationalism” or “economic nationalism” or sometimes even “excessive development.” That’s not to be permitted in the current period of globalization…”

“So Gaddafi met a similar fate. Gaddafi had led the most successful country on the continent of Africa, everybody had healthcare, everybody had housing, everybody had education, everybody had everything. And he wanted to get away from the U.S, he wanted to start a currency for Africa and you can’t do that. And they got him and they said he was oppressing his people and he was going to kill all these people in his own country, so we had to go free them. What we did was, we handed the country over to terrorists and now they have open slave markets and it’s a failed State.”

“What he’s talking about is that they talk about woke politics and identity politics because they don’t want you to talk about the economic issues that are ruining everybody. So they want you to get hating half the country and keeping your ire for your neighbor instead of putting your interests of joining with your neighbor and putting your ire on the oligarchy.

“What we’d like to say, the American people like to say, the American press likes to say: “O… is those corrupt leaders.”. We don’t ask who corrupted them? Leaders are not corrupt, they are corrupted, somebody does it. We say: “oh you know tribal warfare”, well who’s creating the tribal warfare? It’s been to the advantage of the British, the French, the Dutch, the Germans whoever happened to be there, now us. To foster this kind of instability, this antagonism, the antagonism between Muslims and Christians and Jews. This goes on and on…”

“That was a big boo-boo that Trump made when he revealed that there was a deep state that actually controlled things and that’s when they tried to make him seem like he was crazy for saying that. But Chuck Schumer actually revealed the truth about that statement when he told Rachel Maddow on National Television that Trump is being very dumb to mess with the intelligence agencies and she said: why? and he said: because they have six ways to Sunday to get back at you. That’s the leader of the democratic party telling a news person on national television that the President should watch his p’s and q’s around the CIA and the FBI that they’re the ones who actually do run things and that he better not tell people that they actually run things because telling that will make them fuck with him and boy they did they did Russia gate for four straight years.”

“As I mentioned, BP extracted 15 billion pounds worth of Iraqi oil after the British Invasion. The head of MI6 from 2009 to 2014 the year after he left MI6 joined the board of BP. It gets better he was also Britain’s first special representative to Iraq after the invasion, he was appointed by Tony Blair and then he earns 1.1 million. We titled it up from the annual reports from BP since he became part of the board in 2015.”

“.. honestly it’s almost like a revolving door. Often this metaphor is used, that you know somebody from the private sector will come into the intelligence agencies or into the Pentagon and they will still have their former clients best interests in mind. It’s just natural, I mean a lot of these people continue to be shareholders, they continue to have deep intimate relationships with the people on those boards. So it would make sense that they would continue to have sympathies for those former clients and of course you know the Dulles Brothers knew that the war was going to end eventually, especially Allen and that he might have to go back and work for Sullivan and Cromwell.”

New York City installs free crack pipe dispensers – media

The street-corner boxes also offer the overdose reversal drug Narcan, condoms, and – soon – syringes

New York City’s first “public health” vending machine, stocked with free drug paraphernalia and unveiled on a corner of Brooklyn’s drug-infested Brownsville neighborhood on Monday, had already been cleaned out of almost all its contents 24 hours later, the New York Post reported on Tuesday. 

Well-stocked with “safer smoking” kits containing free crack pipes, “safer sniffing” kits, fentanyl testing strips, overdose-reversing Narcan nasal sprays, nicotine gum and condoms on Monday morning, the big blue box contained just one overdose-reversal kit and a pair of testing strips the next day. 

The city plans to install three more of the street corner smoke shops, each costing $11,000, in neighborhoods suffering the most from the opioid overdose crisis. The contents will remain free to anyone who enters their zip code on the keypad, and nonprofit Services for the Underserved will maintain them. 

“We are in the midst of an overdose crisis in our city, which is taking a fellow New Yorker from us every three hours and is a major cause of falling life expectancy in NYC,” New York Health Commissioner Ashwin Vasan said in a statement announcing the vending machine rollout.

“We will continue to fight to keep our neighbors and loved ones alive with care, compassion and action,” he declared, emphasizing the dispensing of “life-saving tools like [overdose reverser] Naloxone” over the distribution of “safer use” kits. There are reportedly plans to stock syringes in the machines as well.

Perry Perlmutter, CEO of Services for the Underserved, described the initiative as “a game-changer for this part of East Brooklyn,” noting that the machines’ contents would “prevent overdoses, infections, and other health risks associated with substance use” in addition to “essential items that can improve the quality of life of all New Yorkers, regardless of their income, insurance or housing status.”

Overdoses in New York City are at an all-time high, with 2022 on track to break the 2021 record of 2,668 overdose deaths. In the first half of 2022 alone, 1,370 overdose deaths were recorded.

Like New York’s controversial “safe” drug injection sites, whose number is set to expand from two to five by 2025, the paraphernalia vending machines appear to be inspired by the drug-infested Canadian city of Vancouver, which has been selling crack pipes – and some actual narcotics – out of vending machines for nearly a decade in the name of “harm reduction.” 

While New York appears to be the first US city to offer a full range of drug paraphernalia for free out of vending machines, other cities like Los Angeles have also begun handing out “smoking kits” in addition to Narcan and testing strips and the needle exchanges that have existed for decades.
