'The US and UK governments’ attack on the integrity of their own #nuclear safety regulators makes no sense. Perhaps because they are unwilling to face up to the conclusion that the problem with nuclear is the technology itself.'

A ‘Golden Age’ of nuclear? | New Civil Engineer
The reason is simple. Nuclear costs are huge and rising and significant delays are the norm. The result is that nuclear power faces the same fundamental

Quite a bodying, here, for the UK, from the Commissioner for Human Rights, Council of Europe.

The British media and political establishment is still on X and maybe this is the wake up call they need.

Very good news from the east of Germany, where the far-right (AfD) has its strongest base - the AfD got soundly defeated in two mayoral elections, in places where they were trying to use the presence of people seeking asylum as a decisive issue. Many voters rejected that outlook. That's hopeful.

Pearls of wisdom from the guy who loudly promotes #vaccine disinfo for his own gain while trying to burn what’s left of science at #CDC.

Fuck off, Robert. Then fuck off some more. Then keep fucking off til you’ve fucked off around the world and come back here so we can tell you to fuck off again.
X post from Robert Malone: “My opinion, not speaking on behalf of USG, CDC leadership, or ACIP. CDC has had decades of mission creep, and has lost focus in core mission. It is now being restructured, redirected and dismantled. The international component is being transferred to the State department. There will be turbulence during this period. The opportunity and gift is for the ACIP to help guide the rebuilding and restructuring towards greater rigor, objectivity, transparency and integrity. But this will take years. In my opinion. And that job will be difficult, contentious and subject to intense criticism.” Second set of X posts from Robert Malone: “Robert W Malone, MD • @RWMalo... 5h • ... The other model is to allow the dysfunctional culture to continue for a period while creating a new organization, and then collapse the original and replace it with the new one. • 41 Robert W Malone, MD • @RWMalo.... 5h G ... I have been writing for years now that many agencies including CDC are compromised by having dual competing functions. In the case of the CDC, one example is holding responsibility for both vaccine advocacy and vaccine safety/ effectiveness monitoring/reporting. Similar Show more 27 31 © 121 I4.4K h1 Robert W Malone, MD • @RWMalo... 5h • ... Whether those silos both report to CDC director is a policy decision. 273 © 30 HI 17К • 1 Robert W Malone, MD • @RWMalo... 5h C ... A case could be made that post marketing surveillance of drugs, devices and biologics should be pulled out of FDA and CDC. ACIP is experiencing the consequences of split monitoring mandates between FDA and CDC. This leads to the game of "not our monkey, talk to the other guy"” Continuing Malone thread from X: “Robert W Malone, MD • @RWMalo... 5h Ø ... CDC must have rigorous external peer review and scrutiny. For far too long it has been an insular, self-reinforcing culture prone to chronic and pervasive confirmation bias. 3 L717 Robert W Malone, MD • @RWMalo...• 5h $ ... If you want to rebuild a corporate culture, you need a transformative leader, widespread cuts in FTE, followed by a surge of hiring of new FTE that are not caught up in the same cultural biases that you seek to replace.” Final Malone set of posts from X, including a comment from a user named Tim Cole: “Robert W Malone, MD • @RWMalo...• 5h $ ... For example the issue of the lot consistency and lot release data query for the COViD vaccines Tim Cole @ConservRational • 3h • Commentary account That's... quite an admission. ¿ O... If Malone's right, CDC isn't just "pivoting" —it's being gutted and redistributed. Moving its international scope to the State Department means health diplomacy becomes political diplomacy. That's like swapping lab coats for lapel pins. Robert W Malone, MD • @RWMalo... 3h g ... What you are apparently unaware of is that the International "health" world has long been the playground of spies, IC, DoD, and State. For example, see USAID”

10th October, 1937.

Oswald Mosley arrives in Liverpool to address a group of assembled fascists.

Before he could utter a word, he was knocked unconscious by a brick thrown from the crowd and rushed to hospital.

This is how to deal with the evil of #Facism.
