Launch of Indian Point Anti-Nuclear Dead Baby Tour Environmental Direct Action Campaign

Entergy's Indian Point and other nuclear reactors are leaking tritium and strontium 90 into our lakes, rivers and oceans here in America, and around the world. Those radioactive contaminants cause cancers, birth defects, and expose women living near nuclear reactors to a greatly increased risk of stillborn infants. Nuclear Power, the world's largest forced abortion clinic, shades of Adolph Hitler, and radioactive ovens masquarading as vital, safe, secure, and Green nuclear energy here to save us from Global Warming.

To bring national and international attention to this issue, a new environmental direct action campaign is being launched. The Indian Point Dead Baby World Tour.
Read about it, and get involved.

Indian Point Dead Baby World Tour-Details Coming Soon

Entergy's aging, failing Indian Point reactors 2 and 3 are trying to get 20 year license renewals while leaking tritium and strontium into the Hudson River. These radioactive contaminants known to cause cancer also elevate birth defects, and place women at a greatly increased risk of having stillborn babies. To bring attention to this issue, to oppose Entergy's attempts to relicense these dangerous reactors, this blog will be sending symbolic dead babies (dolls) out on a world tour by leaving them at various locations.

If you find one of these dolls, take pictures of them in unique locations, take them with you on vacation, show them the life that Entergy's Indian Point would deny them, even shoot a video and upload it onto YouTube. Send jpeg files of your dead baby photos, or the link to your YouTube video to ipdeadbabytour@aol.com so that we can create and online Indian Point Dead Baby World Tour here on this blog in the hopes of waking up America to the very real danger of a Chernobyl right here in America as the NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) wrongfully rubber stamps the license renewal applications of America's 104 aging degradated reactors for another 20 years. We are hoping to have at least 40 Dead Babies (dolls) traveling around the world by the fall of 2007, and need your help.

If you would like to donate a doll to this project, or make a donation, please email ipdeadbabytour@aol.com and we will provide you with a address. Dolls can be male or female, and must have a full set of clothes to wear...passports are not required.

Stay tuned to this blog for more details.

If We Do Not Learn From History, We Are Doomed To Repeat It.

The question then is this...can we afford to repeat Chernobyl on and even grander scale with Indian Point?


The Ugly Historical Truth of A Fast Moving Radiological Event

Many of us live in the ten mile circle of death around Indian Point. Millions more live in the 50 mile circle of effect...after Chernobyl, and to this day, there is a 50 mile exclusion zone around the reactor site where no human lives. The NRC would have us believe we are safe sheltered in our homes, even if a nuclear accident hits the facility...do you believe them? Are we as a community willing to take that risk? The aftermath and ongoing effects from Chernobyl should see us state a resounding no, should see us in mass rising to demand the closure of Indian Point.

First Responders-Are You Ready To DIE For Entergy's Profits at Indian Point?

First responders...are you willing to DIE for Entergy's bottom line profits by keeping Indian Point running for 20 more years? How many of you know, that first responders to a nuclear incident at referred to as Blue Canary's?


The Reality of Nuclear Incident At Indian Point-Visit to Chernobyl 2006

Nuclear Energy, Vital, Safe and Secure? Indian Point is leaking tritium and strontium 90 into the ground water, contaminating the Hudson River, killing fish. Cancer rates are up, and our children are being born with birth defects. Meanwhile, our community sits idly by waiting for others to do the work needed to deny Entergy's Indian Point reactors a license renewal for 20 more years. At what cost your apathy?

Perhaps watching this video will wake up the activist in all of you. The children at the very end of this video could be your children, your grandchildren, all because you refused to take a stand.

America's Ten Worst Reactors-A Whistle Blowers Dream


This fall, the NRC issued two letters to the Entergy Corporation wherein they are accused of having a management style that is CHILLING...a management style that has employees afraid to come forward with their worries about both safety, and security. This got the Green Nuclear Butterfly thinking...what if we had a Top Ten Worst Reactors in America List? Further, what if we took all the information our readers sent us, and filed a GENERATE Verified Complaint against EVERY REACTOR IN AMERICA? After all, if the NRC can issue their own Generic Letters, why can't we in the STAKEHOLDER Communities issue our own Generic Complaint against the nuclear facility, and in the process compile our list of the TEN WORST REACTORS IN AMERICA!

This is simple folks, and EVERY ONE in AMERICA can be a part of it...especially those working at nuclear power plants who WANT TO COME FORWARD, but are afraid to do so. If you have complaints about a nuclear reactor, if your community is being forced to play host to one of these aging dinosaurs, drop us a note care of our editor at roycepenstinger@aol.com Give us as much detail and facts as you can about the violations, or company misdeeds. Now, knowing that some folks who worked for nuclear facilities are afraid of losing their jobs by being whistle blowers, NOT TO WORRY. Package up your allegations, any and all documents you have to back up your complaints, and mail them to us in a PLAIN BROWN WRAPPED PACKAGE, and we will take care of the rest. Send your HOT DOCUMENTS TO Sherwood Martinelli, Green Nuclear Butterfly, 351 Dyckman Street, Peekskill New York 10566. We know there are plant employees all around America that have THE GOODS on some of these reactors...now is your chance to DROP A DIME without any one ever knowing who you are!

Help the Green Nuclear Butterfly file the LARGEST and MOST COMPREHENSIVE VERIFIED COMPLAINT the NRC has ever seen. Bad weld joints, burst pipes, electrical problems, lost fuel rods...WE WANT IT ALL, and we will publish the list of the TEN WORST REACTORS IN AMERICA, our own HALL OF SHAME. Have pictures that the NRC and/or the nuclear industry would be embarrassed about? WE WILL PUBLISH THEM! Give us your dirt, as we are going after the sleaze, we want to take a slice out of the dirty underbelly of the nuclear industry. Are you and old timer that still has documents that Bush has now taken down off the WEb...we want them! As a stakeholder living three miles from Indian Point, I have a right to know the REAL RISKS of living by a nuclear power plant, Americans have a right to know, and with the help of our readers, the help of whistle blowers that see this article, we can BRING DOWN THE HOUSE, we can Rock The Reactors with a story like none ever told before!

Another Piece Of The Stealing Green Puzzle from Entergy Watch

Growing HEMP...PRISON TIME, RUNNING A FAULTY REACTOR...reason to have DOE reward you for being a green citizen.
Just in on one of Green Nuclear Butterfly's sister blogs, Entergy Watch. Yet another piece of the puzzle, further proof that Entergy, NuStart, Christine Todd Whitman and the CASEtergy folks have a deviously dangerous plot to steal the GREEN MANTLE by selling America on the false promise of GREEN NUCLEAR, as the Hydrogen Economy pops out of the birth canal of the death reactors known as Indian Point.
Over on Green Nuclear Butterfly there has been written a serious group of articles on how the DOE, George Bush, the nuclear industry (Entergy) want to give reactors a rebirth, and how they plan to steal the GREEN MANTLE from the environmental movement to accomplish this fact. Naysayers are sure to shake their heads and mumble something about another nutcase conspiracy from the far left...but is it?

Green Nuclear Butterfly suggests that readers start doing some research on their own compliments of the Google search engine. Terms such as NuStart, Entergy, DOE Nuclear 2010, and CASEnergy to name but a few. If you start connecting the dots, it paints a very disturbing picture, raises some very serious questions about our supposed Democratic Government, and the Industrial machine here in America.

For instance, one claim made by Green Nuclear Butterfly, is that our government in cahoots with the Nuclear Industry wants to position said nuclear industry as the Birth Mother of the new Hydrogen Economy...in fact, if you start searching the web for the Atlanta 7, and NuStart you can even find them ADMITTING this fact. Lending credence to this accusation, and perhaps as a means of encouraging people to search for the truth being spread on Green Nuclear Butterfly, Entergy Watch shares this little gem of and article found over on the DOE site.

US$ 1.4 mil for nuclear to hydrogen research
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced that it intends to fund approximately US$ 1.4 million for two projects to partner with industry to study the economic feasibility of producing hydrogen at existing commercial nuclear power plants.
Teams selected by DOE for funding will be headed by Electric Transportation Applications and GE Global Research. Both teams include DOE national laboratories and nuclear utility companies as partners. "Hydrogen is important to our economy today and will be even more important in the future as a potential clean, renewable carrier of energy, particularly in the transportation area," DOE Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy Dennis Spurgeon said. "Finding efficient ways to produce hydrogen by using emissions-free nuclear power has long been an important part of President Bush’s energy strategy."
Electric Transportation Applications plans to perform a study looking at the economics of producing hydrogen at existing nuclear power plants using commercially available production technology. ETA will partner with DOE’s Idaho National Laboratory and Arizona Public Service. GE Global Research proposes a feasibility study of hydrogen production using alkaline electrolysis powered by existing nuclear power plants. Their proposal is based on the low-cost alkaline electrolyzer technology developed by GE, in part under DOE’s Hydrogen Program. Partners for this project include DOE’s National Renewable Energy Lab and the Entergy Corporation.
These studies support President Bush’s Advanced Energy and Hydrogen Fuel Initiatives, as well as the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the first piece of comprehensive energy legislation in over a decade. Funding for these studies is provided by the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy’s Nuclear Hydrogen Initiative, with industry sharing a minimum of 20 percent of the cost. WOW...must be REAL HARD to look into a new business venture when the DOE is willing to put up as much as 80 percent of the money...do we have a similar plan for say Solar? Wind Power?

To Our Readers-Attacking Comments

NUKLEAR...yeah, we have our fingers in that pie...let's FUND IT.
Readers:
Green Nuclear Butterfly
is getting what can only be described as HATE MAIL in the form of comments waiting for moderation...those comments WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED to this blog. Further, the content of those comments show that someone is tracking down intimate details of the PRIVATE LIVES of our writing staff, creating comments that identify with very specific detail that our blog staff have come under surveillance from someone(s) that want to SHUT US DOWN. Those posts will not be posted, and if they continue, will be turned over to law enforcement.
Comments ON TARGET to the post, even if expressing alternative views will be welcome and posted. To help our staff in identifying those using force and intimidation against us, the comments section is going to be closed to all that refuse to provide a viable email address if these attacks from Pro Nuclear Industry hacks continue.
To the one HATE POSTER...yes, your comment has been REJECTED. To your subject of the LOST JOBS...decommissioning a Nuclear Reactor is a decades long process that brings with it jobs. Further, the alternative energies that could be employed to replace Indian Point would bring jobs to the area. Discussion of alternative energy sources...such as wind and solar? Perhaps if George Bush were not throwing Billions of dollars at the Nuclear Industry with his Nuclear 2010 program, many of those alternative energies options could be much further down the road to reality. It's time that our taxes STOP SUBSIDIZING the fatally flawed Nuclear Industry, and instead those monies should be funneled into other alternative energy research that does not KILL.

As UK Nuclear Goes, So Goes America... The Deceit of Pro Nuclear Forces

Contaminated Vehicles Waiting Burial After Chernobyl.

Imagine a governmental agency (such as the NRC?) drawing up plans to squash, quell any and all green opposition to burying Nuclear Waste and building NEW REACTORS. Launching a covert operation to launch false support by using third parties to bring pressure on certain key committees who are investigating certain key issues in the process. Enlisting politicians sympathetic to their cause (uhhh...like Rudi Guiliani and Christine Todd Whitman?) while attempting to isolate those who are not (such as Congressmen Hinchey and Hall?). Just such a devious plan was created, implemented and uncovered in England, and the foot prints here in America lead any anal retentive chimp tripping on LSD, let alone a reasonable thinking person to believe that the Nuclear Industry here in America is using even more devious efforts in trying to turn public tide in favor of more reactors, in favor of Yucca Mountain as a DUMP SITE.

First, for years the nuclear industry and our taxes have supported all kinds of pro-nuclear organizations, non-profit even quasi government groups that get hand picked to do supposedly impartial investigations, even play key roles in the supposed force on force (MOCK) tests at nuclear facilities. Take a look at NEI, their relationship with the Nuclear Industry, their incestuous relationship with the NRC, and you'll find some very disturbing trends, such as their ability to funnel crucial advance information to the owners of nuclear facilities before every force on force test at a Nuclear Reactor...can hear NEI protesting now, "BUT we would never do that." Funny, can NEI and/or the NRC share with us who is in charge of the security forces CHOSEN to be the mock attackers? Talk about a CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

Wells' comments also suggested a potential conflict of interest in how simulations of terrorist attacks are conducted. The potential conflict arises, he stated, from the fact the NRC is considering hiring the "terrorist" impersonators from a firm that was selected by the nuclear industry's own trade association, the Nuclear Energy Institute, and that already provides security guards to half the plants where such exercises are to be conducted.

Then, they need some friendly face, so they buy them...what a better person to embrace Entergy's relicensing than Rudi, America's Mayor? They have supposed GREEN FOLK who, for a price, have sold their souls to the beast, including disgraced co-founder of Green Peace, and Christine Todd Whitman who has created a special group to line her pockets with GOLD, or is that the proverbial 35 pieces of silver? Think about it, the perfect Three Stooges poster children of the nuclear PR campaign to GREEN THEIR DEATH TRAPS. A Former EPA Head and a Greenpeace Co-Founder Lead a New Coalition Promoting Nuclear Energy in the U.S. Add in a touch of RUDI, and stir lightly.


There are other devious steps being taken as well. Entergy will want to deny it, but they have harnessed their entire WORK FORCE as a Pro-Nuclear Burning Grassroots Army of vapid pro nuclear attack rats. They have their employees (the brighter ones) writing letters to the editor, and tracking the Anti-Nuke's online, leaping on almost every post we put up, poking fun at us on their I POD radio shows distributed to the folks within the industry...in short, targeting us.

Others are organized to show up at every public protest against Nuclear with their own banners and signs produced by and paid for with Entergy DOLLARS...in short, they are creating a false facade of public support by using their employees, their employees spouses and children as SHIELDS, much the way Hezbollah hides behind and uses the populace as human shields for their terrorist attacks. What once was suspected can now be proved, as Entergy won a FIRST TIME award for their efforts just last year...we happened to stumble across their press release on it. Couple this with their attempts to spread money around to win support...IE, their financial backing of the Paramont Theatre in Peekskill, and you have an industry trying to buy RELICENSING, BUY the new licenses needed to build a whole new army of reactors such as the one Entergy and GE are now trying to push through down in Louisiana.

If Rosie O'Donnell thinks Donald Trump is a snake oil salesman, she should spend some time researching the executives at almost any company involved in perpetuating, supporting and embracing Nuclear Energy as a GREEN FRIENDLY industry, as it is a LIE. Flim Flam artists and industry shills such as Christine Todd Whitman and Rudi Guiliani who have sold their souls for a golden parachute should be ashamed of themselves...people that should be standing staunchly behind CLOSING INDIAN POINT have become traitors to justice, human safety and our environment. Problem is, just like in England, your industry can run, but it cannot hide as we will dig, we will search, and we will EXPOSE the truth, as we are The Green Nuclear Butterfly. WOW...flashbacks of Muhammad Ali, we float like a butterfly but sting like a bee.

Then we have the entire Nuclear Industry getting nostalgic and going back to the early days of the industry and borrowing a page from history...in short, they are TEAMING TOGETHER, spreading the costs and risks of a whole new line of reactors. They are trying to attach these new reactors to the GREEN MOVEMENT by presenting them as the birth mothers and driving force of a whole new Hydrogen green movement, and all the while quietly lining up GOVERNMENTAL FINANCIAL support to subsidize the industry and their new reactors...that's right, LETS GET THEIR TAXES TO BUILD OUR REACTORS, or at least to offset a great deal of the costs. Your a shrewd one Mr. Grinch, I'll give you that!


Revealed: the nuclear waste agencys undercover plans
The Sunday Herald, 14 May 2006
By Paul Hutcheon, Scottish Political Editor

A covert campaign to ensure that opposition to burying waste was overcome has angered anti-nuclear groups and raised questions about the tactics of a government agency.

Plans to launch a covert campaign to overturn sustained opposition to burying nuclear waste and pave the way for a new generation of nuclear power stations were drawn up by a government agency, it has been revealed.

The proposals included putting "third party pressure" on a separate government committee given the task of investigating the issue, "enlisting" politicians sympathetic to their cause and "isolating" those who were not.

Nirex, the government agency responsible for the disposal of radioactive waste, also produced a list of MPs, MSPs, civil servants and journalists to lobby about disposing the waste produced by nuclear power stations.

The agency has admitted drawing up the "media and public affairs strategy" but insists it was merely a draft put together by a junior member of staff and that some of the suggested tactics were not used.

The UK government-appointed Committee on Radioactive Waste Management (CoRWM) has accepted the Nirex proposals and overturned previous opposition to the burying of nuclear waste. Its recommendations are expected to be used by Tony Blair to support his plans for a revived nuclear power industry, which would have been held back because of uncertainty over how to deal with the waste.
