and another Real Life Hero... 

My Friend Mike Johnson (the San Jose, CA  Policeman) Was Murdered in the Line of Duty. He Was a Great Guy. He a Responding to a Domestic Violence Call. The Criminal Shot Mike and then Was Shot by other SJPD Officers... The Criminal Died... 

Mike and I worked together at the Branham Lane Radio Shack during the 1990s. We had many lengthy debates at our store while waiting for customers to show up... He and I disagreed on almost every subject but it was an interesting intellectual stimulation to talk to him. One thing we disagreed about was his joining the Police Force. I was opposed to it because it is a High Risk Profession... Tragically, I was unable to convince him that his opinion was wrong. He joined and died. He should have studied electronics and went to work at a Computer Factory. He was really smart... and had a great grasp of electronics...

SJPD Officer Michael Johnson: Police, family, community say goodbye to hometown hero. 

A community came to a stop Thursday. It paused as a long procession of sorrow slowly traveled through streets lined with people paying their respects. At the downtown SAP Center, a somber sea of law enforcement, shoulder to shoulder, gathered to mourn the death of San Jose police Officer Michael Johnson.

It was there, amid an emotional day of tears and anguish, that David Solis made a simple request. Solis, a police academy classmate of Johnson, noted the "Shark Tank" normally was the site of raucous hockey games.

"This is obviously something different," said Solis, now a Menlo Park officer. "But I truly believe Mike is looking down on us right now. So I would like us to give Mike a standing ovation for the life that he gave to us."

And for the next two minutes, SAP roared with the sound of deafening cheers and clapping.

They stood to thank a man who was shot and killed in the line of duty on March 24 while responding to an emergency call. But true to Solis' words, this memorial, which drew more than 8,000 people, focused on his life, not his death. Colleagues remembered him as the epitome of everything a police officer should be -- fair, firm and compassionate. Family remembered him as someone who always was there for them.

Bishop Patrick J. McGrath, the head of the Catholic Diocese of San Jose, compared Johnson, who was 38, to a meteorite that flashes across the sky and disappears all too quickly.

"They don't last long, but those who experience their light remain forever dazzled," McGrath said. "And that was true with Mike."

California Attorney General Kamala Harris, the state's top law enforcement official, said Johnson's death underscores the inherent risks police face every day they put on a uniform.

"This ultimate sacrifice is an eternal reminder that safety comes at a supreme price, and that price must always be remembered by a grateful state and her people," Harris said.

In the time-honored tradition of police memorials, law enforcement came from around the country, representing agencies from distant states, including Illinois, Texas and New York. But the death of Johnson, a married, 14-year veteran of the force, has been most keenly felt in his hometown of San Jose.

That's why residents took to the streets as the procession made its way from a Los Gatos funeral home to SAP, evoking the sort of patriotism seen on the Fourth of July. Diane Urbano and Patrick Donahue held signs that read "Rest In Peace Michael Johnson" in Los Gatos. Small children in strollers waved tiny American flags.

At St. Lucy Catholic Parish church on Winchester Boulevard, bells tolled as more than 350 schoolchildren in their blue plaid uniforms stood quietly, also holding American flags, as the motorcade passed.

"All of us are so appreciative of the sacrifices all police officers have made for the community," Pastor Kevin Joyce said. "We all feel this tragedy."

Marianne Williams and Carol Jerger stopped ironing church linens for Easter Sunday to join the sidewalk tribute.

"He's one of ours," said Williams, choking up. "Police have been so good to me over the years."

As the motorcade passed Santana Row, Morgan Hill resident Terry Shaffer waved a large American flag, tears filling his eyes.

Jeff Sauer, a 20-year San Jose resident, said he often walks his dog through Jeffrey Fontana Park, past the bronze statue honoring the last SJPD officer killed on duty, in 2001. He said news of Johnson's death impacted him much differently this time.

"It's such a tough job they have, and I know they're understaffed," said Sauer, 47. "I was a younger man last time this happened -- I have a different level of respect now."

At SAP, an entire length of Autumn Street was filled, rows deep with police officers and their families who were silent as the motorcade arrived. Law enforcement officers -- including from departments in Los Angeles, Riverside, Benicia, Vacaville, Lodi, Fresno and Hanford -- saluted the hearse carrying Johnson.

Inside the arena, the crowd was pin-drop quiet as a bagpipe player and honor guard escorted pallbearers carrying the fallen officer's casket to the foot of a stage.

Speakers remembered Johnson as a loving husband, son and uncle, loyal friend, committed police officer and shining light in the lives of the people who knew him best.

Jamie Radack, Johnson's older sister, offered the crowd a glimpse into her brother's upbringing and his apparent destiny to protect and serve, in part to follow in their father's footsteps as a police officer.

"I knew he would grow up to become a cop," Radack said. "Whenever Mike and I played cops and robbers as kids, he always insisted on being the cops and I always had to be the bad guys.

"That turned out to be fortuitous, not just because Mike grew up to become a cop, but I grew up to become a lawyer," she said, eliciting laughter from the crowd.

Radack also recalled her brother's commitment to mastering everything he did.

"He didn't just play chess, he was captain of the chess team," she said. "He didn't just do jiujitsu, he became an instructor. He didn't just make a cheesecake, he made the best damned cheesecake you ever had from our grandma's supersecret recipe. And he not only kept the recipe secret, he literally stored it in his gun safe. He didn't just scuba dive, he dove with great white sharks in the Farallon Islands."

And she lamented the loss of a person who was tirelessly devoted to his family. Her brother was the one who helped with every move, always was the designated driver and made it to every family event no matter how briefly, sometimes while in uniform.

He shared his love of martial arts with both her children, teaching his niece how to do a sleeper-hold when she was 3. He would play Barbies with her, too.

"Mike loved his family with his entire heart and he expressed that love by always being present," she said. "And now, he's gone."

Police Chief Larry Esquivel described March 24 as the hardest day of his career. But Esquivel added that he and the rest of the department have been heartened by the vast outpouring of public support in the wake of the tragedy.

"The state of the San Jose Police Department is strong, and that's because of officers like Michael," Esquivel said. —... This horrific event has galvanized our city. It's made our big city feel like a small community."

Solis remembered his friend chose "to live differently," and that included becoming a police officer. He spoke directly to current police academy cadets and told them that in the face of the tragedy, to turn to Johnson's sense of duty as inspiration.

It was a plea made all the more poignant by the fact that Fontana was a member of the same academy class as Johnson.

"To Mike," he added, "We thank you for your life and your sacrifice to us. Death did not make you a hero. You were already a hero while you lived. You are forever stitched to us, bonded to us, and now your heart will beat through ours."

The memorial concluded with one final police ritual. A San Jose police dispatcher broadcast was piped into the arena, making a symbolic, last call.

"Officer Michael Johnson, badge 3718," the dispatcher said. "Officer Johnson, you will always be remembered and honored for your service and bravery. End of watch, March 24, 2015. Attention all units: Resume all normal traffic."

Then, the procession reformed outside to complete this painful journey at Oak Hill Cemetery, where a private funeral service was scheduled. Officers streamed out of SAP, some wiping their eyes and hugging one another. They once again lined up to salute Johnson and his family.

One officer instructed others to stand straight and bring their right hands to their heads in salute.

"It's time for him to go home."

Staff writers Julia Prodis Sulek, Katie Nelson, Erin Ivie, and Sal Pizarro contributed to this report.

HOW TO HELP
Donations to support the family of Officer Michael Johnson can be made online at sjpoa.com/donations or by mail to the San Jose Police Officers' Association, 1151 N. Fourth St., with checks payable to SJPOACF with "Michael Johnson" in the memo line.

Build Your Own Prank UFO - Freak Out The Government!

How To Be a Lunatic 

(Moon Worshiper) 

by Gregory Vanderlaan 

- a FICTION BOOK 

add a Couple of 140dB Personal Alarms

and Create Insane Noise Way Up in the Sky.

Freak Out The Public!

Totally Safe and FUN!

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

A bit of Deep Background...

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

Did you ever Notice that The Moon Looks Like a Solid Dot about the Size of a Quarter Held at Arms Length. AND The Sun Looks Like a Solid Dot about the Size of a Quarter Held at Arms Length. AND The Shadow of the Earth on the Moon is the Same Exact Size! That SIZE Co-incidence is what makes Solar and Lunar Eclipses Possible.

DANG! The Three Most Important Objects in the Universe All Appear to be the Same Size! 

Furthermore... 

A Woman's Menstrual Cycle is the same length of time as the moon's phases... 28 Days. Humans are In Phase with the Moon...   

Our Calendar's Months are Named for the Moon but don't exactly Line Up... 28x13=364 We Could have made the Calendar 13 Months of 28 Days Each but... Somehow We Failed... OOPS! 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_choose_to_go_to_the_Moon

and then President Kennedy Gave that 1962 Speech that Totally Changed my Life... The School System Changed dramatically in 1963 in response... Math and Science were the Main Focus. I was in Third Grade and a Part of that Change... I was placed in the "More Capable Learners" Class and we skipped one Grade ahead in both Math and Science all the way thru High School. My Career in Computers was the result of that early Training. 

"We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too."

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

Author's Note: Most of these Ideas are Dangerous and Illegal... at Best, they lead to Arrest and Incarceration... at worst you might blow your legs off and have to ride around in a wheelchair for the rest of your life... Remember the "Weathermen" anti-war protesters during the Vietnam war? They Blew up their Own Townhouse and everyone inside died... then the people who were not inside the townhouse went on the run and lived "underground" for a decade until they just got tired of that life and turned themselves into the Police... served a few years... got out and Started Living a Real Life Again... DON'T DO THAT!

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~

Chapter Zero: 

"Billy" (not his real name) was wondering where he could buy some Dynamite... His goal was to create a Dirty Bomb near Eureka, CA by Blowing Up the Nuclear Waste Stored in Casks by PG&E... No real need to steal the Atomic Material, just blow it up right where it's stored!

The Ultimate GOAL was to prevent anyone from building any more atomic power plants because... They Would Realize That the Waste Storage Problems Were Unsolvable! They Would Have to Store the Atomic Waste Safely AND GUARD IT for 10,000 Years! Who Knows When a Lunatic Would Decide to Create a Dirty Bomb?

After a Few Minutes, he realized that his GOALS would be better accomplished thru "Absurdist Street Theater" instead of Actual Eco-Terrorism... and No One would Die... 

So he switched his search to finding where to buy FIREWORKS that Shoot Up Into The Sky and Explode... Plenty of TV NEWS Coverage for that... The TV News Talking Heads Could Ask: "WHAT IF The Eco-Errorist had used REAL Dynamite? Was this Prank a Warning of Things to Come? Film at Eleven." (More Dirty Laundry Then)

SO... "Billy" drove over to Nevada and Bought... 

https://www.redapplefireworks.com/fireworks/sky-show/aerial-cakes/

AERIAL CAKES

A mainstay for any fireworks celebration, aerial cake fireworks — also known as multi-shot aerial repeaters — launch into the sky with vibrant colors, mesmerizing sparkles, and the crack-whistle-boom the crowd loves. Containing multiple tubes packaged together in one square ‘cake,’ these self-contained fireworks shows only need one fuse to set off an incredible display. #WELOVEFIREWORKS®!

By Placing the Launch Base near the Atomic Waste Casks and pointing the rockets skyward, No One would be exposed to Fallout... But maybe the Mainstream Media Would Connect the Dots and Realize that IF The Eco-Errorist had Pointed the Fireworks AT the Casks... We all might Have to Evacuate Eureka for 10,000 Years... and That's No Fun!

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

That would be a Great Action However... It would probably lead to arrest and jail time... I believe that those fireworks stores film every customer... so they have something to show the police in the event of robbery... So "Billy" went with Plan 9... 

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

A Much more FUN! Eco-Action would be to tether helium balloons lifting LED flashlights above the OPEN Gate to the Atomic Waste Storage... Simply use Kite String and Those "UFOs" would Cause an Event that would have to be reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission...  It's an Obvious Security Breach to have this Gate Open... Obvious but... The Fishermen like it... Otherwise, they would have to Cut a Hole in the Fence!

King Salmon, California

The Open Gate on the Trail to the PG&E
Atomic Waste Storage Facility

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

And then Came the night to actually deploy the No-Nukes UFO!

"Billy" Drove down King Salmon Ave to the Bend in the Road... Turned the Car around in case he had to make a quick get-away and Parked. It was a New Moon so the Lights would really stand out against the Dark Sky. He attached the Flashlights and the Kite String to the Helium-filled Balloon... The Flashlights were pointing Outward at a 45 Degree Angle so they would be Visible from a Distance... The Kite string had been wound in loose loops so it would deploy without any knots or tangles... He Walked down the trail and tied the end of the Kite String to the Fence... Turned on all Four Lights and released his "UFO" - It would be Unidentified for a Brief Time... then The Security Guards at PG&E would Identify it, and Read the NO NUKES! Written in Felt Pen on the Side of the Balloon... Ignore it as Just another Ecology Nut and Go back to whatever they were doing before they were interrupted... 

"Billy" walked Back to the Car and drove away... Now came the time to Alert the Media... a Question posted on 13 Different Social Media Platforms asking: "Did any of You see that ODD Light in the Sky over PG&E's Atomic Waste Storage Facility in King Salmon, CA? It Looked like a UFO to me. I wonder what PG&E thinks about it... Email Form: https://www.pge.com/en_US/residential/customer-service/help/contact-pge-landing/contact-us.page?WT.pgeac=ContactUsHeader" 

Then he Reported the Event to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission... 

https://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/contactus.html

and That's The End...

 

It's Over! 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFbGv4zQfpM 

and then "Billy" Realized that the Entire EcoAction Could be Entirely Fake... Just Post the Question on the Internet and Cause Mass Freakouts at the Nuclear Power Plant Systems... Not Just PG&E Humboldt but MANY Power Plant Owners... Like Vogtle, Georgia! 

SO... He Did the Publishing... on FaceBorg, Parler, Gab, Ello, Mastodon, Minds, Twitter, Deviant Art, LinkedIn, MeWe, Tribel, Occupy, Tumblr, Flipbook and Viadeo... But NOT the Trump Social Media App... That only works on an Apple iPhone... and "Billy" Refuses to Tell the Truth on a Freaking Phone! The Typing is Too Damn Difficult! 

"Did anyone else see that UFO hovering over the [name] power plant last night [date] ? It just stayed in one place for a long time and then drifted away... I don't know what it was but, something was up there." Put anything you know in the comments section of this Blog: 

https://gvan42.blogspot.com/2022/03/ufo-report.html

and the Comments came in...

anonymous said: Never have seen a UFO: I was always interested in astronomy and meteorology, and I have seen a lot of wondrous things in the heavens, day and night, like meteor trails that glowed a little for ten minutes after the big meteor passed, satellites, a second stage separation overhead at sunset, sundogs of all varieties, sun pillars and crepescular rays.

Maybe I have seen a UFO and it fooled me into believing it was something else.

Thanks for allowing anonymous comment. I hates the Goog and someday I fear that it will hate me back...

and "Billy" replied: Thanks for the Comment. I have never seen a UFO Either... Still Hoping and watching... Did you see Jupiter and Saturn Line up? That was EPIC.

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

And as could be expected, his posts were pretty much ignored. It's Likely that Since Everyone Already Knew that he was a Lunatic and an Absurd Post Claiming to See a UFO was Just Another Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich... Or "Billy" (not his real name) 

UFO on the Google Satellite Map of
Vogtle Atomic Power Plant in Georgia

So he decided to give it One More Shot... and this time target VOGTLE Power Plant in Georgia. No One Knew Him There! and with a Buncha Hashtags he was sure to get the attention of those people over there... #Vogtle #Georgia #Atomic #Power #Nuclear and the People Reading the Social Media Posts Should Contact Georgia Power Corporation... That way HE would not be Obviously Involved... Giving Him a Little Plausible Deniability... because... Hey! My Account got Hacked! I'm NOT Responsible for all those Crazy Posts! That was a Prankster! Really! 

I guess I shouldn't have Shared my Screen Name: Babaloo42 and password: Nutcheck420* on FaceBorg... Now Everyone is Posting Insane Comments and Blaming Me!

"Billy" tried again... On Twitter... 

Did anyone Else see a UFO Flying over #Vogtle #Power Plant Last Night? #Georgia #Atomic #Nuclear I have NO Idea what it was But It was Strange!

I was parked out on River Road at about 10 PM. It flew around for 10 Minutes and then Took Off...

"Billy" was losing hope of ever getting any Ecology Message Heard unless he Stepped Up His Game and Did Something Outrageous... 

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

Once when he was Shopping at the CVS Drugstore he saw that they sold Hunting and Fishing Supplies... Including Gunpowder for people that wanted to Load their own Bullets... That's a Hobby! Really! 

What IF... he duct-taped a Highway Flare to the side of the Plastic Bottle the Gunpowder came in... Set the Highway Flare to Burning... When it burned down to the Plastic Bottle... Would the Gunpowder Ignite? Who Knows? I guess that I, the Author of this Fiction Story Ought to do some Deep Background Research on this subject... Does the Clerk sell Gunpowder for Cash to anyone? Does the Customer have to Show a Drivers Licence? Are the Customers Filmed using Security Cameras? 

This plan seems like too much trouble... 

What about Filling a Gallon Orange Juice Jug with Gasoline? Then Shoving the Highway Flare in the Gap made by the Handle... I guess that would Catch Fire after a few minutes... Giving the Lunatic Time to Get in the Car and Drive away... 

That would be CRAZY! Setting a Fire near the Atomic Waste Casks... They would HAVE to Report THAT Incident to The NRC, FBI and the EIEIO...

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

"Billy" (not his real name) Came to the realization that all those actions that involved Violence or Destruction were Simply NOT The Way to Go... That was an example of Pre-Psychedelic Thinking. We Have learned enough to REJECT All That and Do Something Else!

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

So he decided to Start a Remote Viewing Ecology Action designed to Invite The Extraterrestrials that have Been Visiting Plant Vogtle to SHUT IT DOWN! Maybe Telekinesis! Who Knows! 

We Must Dare to Think the Unthinkable!

All those years Studying CE-5 and CE-6 and the 1st Earth Battalion were going to BE Deployed!

This Picture would give the Remote Viewers something to Focus on... Finding Weak Spots in the Currently Running Reactors #1 and #2... Things that Could "Magically" Fail... and Then the Entire Damned Thing Would be Out of Freaking Business! a Denial of Service Attack... Not on The Website... or the Plant's Computer Operating System but on The Physical Gizmos That Make it all Work! 

just like in the Movie Star Wars... There was a Weakness in the Defenses of the Death Star... 

The Remote Viewing Team Needs to Locate That Weakness and Throw a Monkey Wrench into The Gear Box!

So He started Training Using His World Tapping Circle Skills to Learn How to Fly on a Magic Carpet from California all the Way to Georgia... and then Locate the Main Microprocessor of the Control System... and then Give it a Tiny Lightning Bolt... Making the Power Plant to go into Shutdown Mode... FOREVER! Or at Least Until the Repairman could Fix the Computer... and By Then... The NRC would be involved and It would take Months to Do an Investigation...

and he found that the Most Efficient way to do remote viewing was to Have Someone Else take Photographs and Publish them on the Internet...

Here we see the Inside of the Vogtle Atomic Power Plant Control Room... almost Exactly the Same as the Set of The China Syndrome Movie with Jane Fonda, Wilfred Brimley, Michael Douglas and Jack Lemmon! a Fantastic Film that Came Out at the Same time as the Three Mile Island Incident... THAT'S Clever Marketing!

The Movie follows a television reporter and her cameraman who discover safety coverups at a nuclear power plant. "China syndrome" is a fanciful term that describes a fictional result of a nuclear meltdown, where reactor components melt through their containment structures and into the underlying earth, "all the way to China".

https://customerservice2.southerncompany.com/Login?mnuOpco=GPC Recently the RATES People Had to Pay Have Gone WAY UP Due to Construction Costs overruns at Vogtle 3 & 4... They are Famous for Delayed Milestones and Excessive Costs!

In Georgia, Bloated Costs Take Over a Nuclear Power Plant and a Fight Looms Over Who Pays.

Vogtle’s two new nuclear reactors are six years late and at least $16 billion over their original budget. The plant will have no direct carbon footprint, but critics say there are much cheaper ways to reduce emissions.

Who the Owners Are!

The Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, located near Waynesboro in eastern Georgia near the South Carolina border, is jointly owned by Georgia Power(45.7%), Oglethorpe Power Corporation (30%), Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia (22.7%) and Dalton Utilities (1.6%).

Author's Note: I was Banished from FaceBORG for Violating the Community Service Policy about Threatening Violins... What Happened was that I Suggested a Way to "Whip Inflation Now" would be to Kidnap a Corporate CEOs and Hold them Hostage until their Companies Reduced the Prices to what they were Two Years Ago. The Corporate Big Wig Could Call their Evil Minions on the Phone and Tell 'em to Roll Back The Prices or he would Remain a Prisoner... and then Once a Week The Patriotic Americans that were doing this Dastardly Deed would mail a finger to the Headquarters... Because We had seen Gangster Movies and Knew the Drill... Internet Videos of the CEO Pleading for his Life while holding a Newspaper... Everything! and Showing The Missing Fingers... HOWEVER... FaceBORG AI Didn't Think this was an Appropriate Post... and Banished Me for 24 Hours... not Banished For LIFE like Donald Trump Was... But Still a long time!

I see that Georgia Power has contracted with global engineering, construction and project management firm Bechtel to manage daily construction efforts. It's a Family Owned Business that Does Giant Construction Projects. Very Similar to Osama bin Laden's Family. Osama's Father built the Mosque at Mecca. Roads, Airports, Sunflower Farms... All the Really BIG Construction Sites in North Africa and the Middle East. Osama had 41 Brothers and Sisters because His Father had a Harem and They were Pregnant All the Time... STRANGE! 

Bechtel has an Office in San Francisco!

Brendan Bechtel is chairman and chief executive officer of Bechtel Group, Inc. 

Brendan first began working for the company during summer breaks in high school. After joining the company full time, he took on roles of increasing responsibility in field construction, project management, and executive leadership. Brendan is the 5th generation of the Bechtel family to lead the company. 

What IF? Brendan Told the Owners at Vogtle to Shut it down and Stop Construction? Could Happen! What if Brendan Went to a Grateful Dead Concert and Ate the Sacred Wafers? Then He Met God (just like Moses did) and Decided that Building Atomic Power Plants was NOT a Great Idea! That instead of Making the World a Worse Place to Live, He wanted to Write Poetry? Or Maybe Lyrics? There is a Long List of things a Person Can Do instead of Doing EVIL for Money... Organic Gardening, Learn to Play a Musical Instrument, Pottery, Macrame, Tie Dye Clothes, Paint Fine Art Paintings, Sailing, Mountain Climbing, Play with Their Children, Travel to India and Meet a Guru, White Water Rafting... SO MANY Alternatives...

But None of these Eco-Terrorist Actions appealed to "Billy" (not his real Name) - They would work but they had that Obscene TrumpNik® Flavor... Like Storming the US Congress on January 6th... Killing Cops because Donald Lost the Election... What a Buncha WANKERS! They Tried Everything they could think to Steal the Election but He Still FAILED. 

None of That for "Billy" (not his real Name) - He Wanted to Try a Different Approach... A More Absurdist Street Theater Look...  

The Prank? Green Dye in the River! Make it Look Like the Hot Water from Vogtle was Destroying the Ecology and Causing Horrible Damage! People Downstream Would Alert the Media and the NRC Would Have to Investigate... Was the Excessive HEAT Causing Green Slime to Grow Downstream? Is it Toxic? Will Kids Swimming Get Sick? Will it be Horribly Smelly Like Miami? Will the Dogs Get Sick if they Swim?

https://news.miami.edu/stories/2021/05/south-florida-could-be-heading-toward-another-summer-of-slime.html

In Chicago for St Patrick's Day It takes 40 Pounds of Dye to Make the River Green! 

 The Dye Would Need to Be Dumped from a KAYAK or Canoe right at the Nuclear Power Plant... and a Person Could Travel in the Middle of the Night and Make the Dump Unobserved! Then Alert the Media hours Later!

SEE? Over on the Right Hand Side
The River is Connected to the Cooling Tower
To Get Rid of Excess Heat!

Satellite Photo of the Savannah River Directly Connected to the Atomic Power Plant

at the City of Savannah, Georgia

ARE THEY CATCHING THREE EYED FISH?

Now THAT'S An Ecology Action that Has Got Some LUNACY In It... The Activist would Have to Travel on the River on a Night with NO Moon... Wearing Black Clothes, Black Facepaint (or actually be a Black Person) and... Dump the Dye while wearing Rubber Gloves... Green Dye, Blue Dye or Yellow Dye... all mixed together in a Paper Grocery Bag... Dump and then Paddle Back Upstream to where He, She or It Stashed the Car and GTFO of there! 

Plant Vogtle Campground 

Upstream from the Plant

This Ecology Action would Have to Be a Totally

Undercover Journey... Plenty of Red Necks and PRO Nuclear Power People around There.

There would Have to Be a Damn Good Reason for People to Kayak at Night on the River... 

and If the Earth First! People actually Stay at Plant Vogtle Campground... they Better get a Haircut and some Hillbilly Clothes... Learn to Blend in with The Locals... 

It Looks like Cheap Temporary Housing for Construction Workers... Odd Pre-Fab Houses... 

Places for Trailers, Fifth Wheels... 

But It Does Have a DOCK on the River!

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

Maybe Ecology Activists in Georgia will Read this Story and Shut 'er Down!

Is the Excess Heat from #Vogtle #Atomic #Power #Plant Causing #Green #Slime to Grow in the #Savannah River? #Sickness #Ecology #Disaster #Nuclear #Insanity a Typical Tweet...

And then I realized that instead of Faking a Green Slime Attack on the River, a better Plan would be to Dump LIVING GREEN SLIME Into the Savannah River Upstream from the Vogtle Atomic Power Plant... and the Living Green Slime would Clog the Pipes from the River to the Cooling Tower... FORCING a Shut Down due to Overheating! That heat Exchanger is NOT Ornamental. It's a Required Part of the System. If Green Slime got into It... IT FREAKING FAILS!

and anywhere upstream for 100 miles would be a great place to Dump... Because the Green Slime won't Really start to Thrive until it Gets into The WARM WATER from the Plant...

Simply Harvest some Green Slime from Miami or the Gulf of Mexico in 5 Gallon Buckets... and...

Author's Note:

But after a Few Days Reflection...

This Plan of Releasing LIVING SLIME

In the River Seems to be the

WORST IDEA YET!

Living Creatures Often Get Out

of Control and are Impossible

to Kill... Rats, Termites, Cockroaches

We've Been Trying to Exterminate Them

for Centuries... Total Failure!

The BEST Plan would be for the Georgia Power Customers that are getting Higher and Higher and Higher Bills to Take Action! A Sabotage of the Construction Site Vogtle 3 & 4 Would Keep it OFFLINE Forever!

I feel certain that some of the Customers

Work at the Plant! They Could Monkey Wrench

the Damn Thing!

This well-known book is a fictional account of 4 "environmental warriors" liberating parts of Utah and Arizona from evil road-builders, miners and rednecks. The book fueled a new generation of angry young environmentalists (such as Earth First!) practicing monkey-wrenching, sabotage for the sake of protecting the wilderness.

I recommend you to get the Dream Garden edition which has really cool illustrations by celebrated cartoonist and satirist Robert Crumb (see the cover below).

This edition was first published in 1985 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the original publication and was soon sold out, but a reprint came in 1990 with additional illustrations by Crumb from the 1987 Monkey Wrench Gang Calendar. It also contains the previously deleted chapter "Seldom Seen At Home".

How California’s last remaining nuclear power plant transformed marine life off the coast... 

Take a dip into the Pacific Ocean along most of California’s Central Coast, and the cold water will send you running for a wetsuit. But there’s one spot where the water isn’t so teeth-chattering and instead feels much like a lukewarm bath: Diablo Cove, the oblong 40-acre inlet that sits at the base of PG&E’s Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant near Avila Beach. There, the ocean waters are heated by the power plant’s cooling system, which sucks in and spits out billions of gallons of seawater every day.

Water in the cove directly adjacent to the discharge structure hovers at an abnormal 70 to 80 degrees — notably warmer than the 50 to 60 degrees typical here.

Headline: Nuclear energy push is not powered by sense: Readers fail to see the logic behind the government’s drive to go for the nuclear option to generate electricity.

Remember kids: There is Not much work Designing Nuclear Power Plants Because the Power Companies are Shutting them down and Building Solar, Wind and Hydro Generators... But there is Plenty of Work WRITING ARTICLES about How Wonderful Nukes Are and How we Really Ought to Build some... and That's Why there is a Vast Quantity of PRO NUKE Articles, Youtube Videos, FaceBorg Posts... all those Physics Graduates are Unemployable and Frantic to Make a Living.

I see that Putin has Captured the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster Site... In the Event that he Loses the War, it's possible that He Bombs the Containment Building and Releases Radioactive Fallout... Just to "Teach NATO-OTAN a Lesson" - There is No danger of a Madman creating a DIRTY BOMB with a Solar or Wind Facility... The Waste has to be Stored Safely AND GUARDED for 10,000 Years... Danger! Danger!

NO NUKES! The Reason we keep on seeing PRO Nuke articles in the Newspaper is: People can make Money writing Articles and Corporations could make a fortune Building Nukes... If they could Just get the Government to Subsidise Construction Costs... NUKES are SUPER EXPENSIVE and Always behind schedule and need MORE MORE MORE Money to finish the Job... Look at VOGTLE... It's an Economic Disaster!

The Moon Causes Tides: High Tide Happens Twice a day... TWICE? Why Twice? When the Moon is on One side of the Earth all the Water is Pulled towards That side by Gravity. 12 Hours Later the Moon Pulls the Earth towards it by Gravity... and away from the water on the far side... That's the Second High Tide. I was watching boats come and go thru the Channel connecting Humboldt Bay and the Pacific Ocean... The Captains of those Boats are very interested in tides because during a High Tide the water is Deeper in the Channel... If the water is ever too shallow the boat gets stuck and rescue is expensive. There are other factors controlling the time and height of tides but most people don't understand them and so Everybody Buys a Tide Book. They've been printing tide books for Hundreds of Years... Maybe Longer...

For Decades I have turned the Sound off for Commercials on TV. In 1970 Mad Magazine Published Plans for how to add a Mute Switch to your own TV and I built that into my parent's TV. Without Breaking the TV or Getting Electrocuted! That was a sure sign that My Career would be in Electronics... NOW I Find Most of the Sound is offensive... especially TV NEWS... I might accidentally hear Trump or one of his EVIL MINIONS if I leave the Sound on... and TV News has Printed Words at the Bottom of the Screen... Bloomberg has a LOT of printed words... and Charts! No need for sound unless I'm watching Ancient Aliens... or a Movie... or a Cartoon...

We REALLY Need to Guard the Atomic Waste at PG&E's Abandoned Nuclear Power Plant Near Eureka California... Anyone Can Walk Right Up To The Casks and Place a Standard Bomb Under Them... Building a "Dirty Bomb."

With Insane TrumpNiks® Running Around Planting Bombs and Failing to Overthrow the US Government... This Is A REAL Threat! A Terrorist Could Walk on the Public Trail and Then We Would Have to Instantly Evacuate Eureka... For a Thousand Years...  There ARE Two Chain Link Fences and a Guardhouse Protecting the Radioactive Waste from Unauthorized Visitors... So No One Can Enter Unless They Owned Wire Clippers and The Guard Was Sleeping... If There Even IS a Guard at All...

HEY! TrumpNiks® DON'T DO THIS! #MAGAKillersSUCK

Bribed Politicians are the Only Ones in Favor of Nuclear Energy That Actually Cause Atomic Power Plants to Be Constructed. Corporations That Stand to Profit MAGICALLY Convince the Crooked Elected Officials To Support Their Plans. However... Those Politicians Have to Get REELECTED to Keep on Feeding at the Public Trough... Therefore, They Hesitate to Vote In Favor of Projects That The Vast Majority of Voters Hate... How Would they Know the Opinions of the Public? I Like Writing Emails Using The Forms on The Senators and Representatives Websites... Other People March in the Streets Shouting Slogans and Holding Signs... Others Sign Petitions... Some Write Newspaper Articles and Magazine Articles... Some BLOG... Whatever You DO... DO IT! 

We Have to Fight Against Corporations That Employ So-Called Experts Promoting NUKES! 

Even Bill Gates is Promoting Nukes... He Says "Nukes are Not as Bad as Oil, Coal or Natural Gas." True. But He Fails to Mention Solar, Wind, Hydro, Geothermal or Burning Wood in a Stove...

The Country of Iran is Totally In Favor of Nuclear Energy... COULD THAT BE BECAUSE IT GIVES THEIR ATOM BOMB FACTORIES PLAUSABLE DENIABILITY?

"No, No... We aren't Making BOMBS... We Who Sit on a Vast Underground Ocean of Oil are Not Going to Use THAT to Generate Electricity... We are Building a Super Complex Power Plant That Uses Uranium Imported From Foreigners... "

PG&E, SoCal Edison and SMUD Have Totally Given UP on Nuclear Power. The Actual Executives That Make Purchasing Decisions have all #RUNAWAY... Ever Heard Of San Onofre and Diablo Canyon? The Cleanup Bill for Decommissioning is $9.2 Billion Dollars for Those Two Nuclear Power Plants and The Customers have to Pay for those Mistakes... So You Can Take Your College Degree in Nuclear Engineering and Write "Think Tank Articles" Because You Certainly Can't Get a Job Designing New Power Plants.

One Thing Is True. Everybody Hates Nukes. Oil Companies Hate Nukes, Executives at Electric Power Plants Hate Nukes. Ecology Activists Hate Nukes. The General Public Believes That HOMER SIMPSON Is an Accurate Portrayal of An Atomic Power Plant Employee... NO NUKES!

A federal grand jury charged 38-year-old California resident Evan Ray Atkinson for allegedly stealing explosive materials from a mill in Hawthorne, Nevada.

According to allegations in the indictment, on December 24, 2021, Atkinson stole approximately 100 pounds of detonating cord, boosters, and dynamite from a Federal Explosives Licensee.

Atkinson then drove the explosives to Henderson and stored them in his hotel room and vehicle.

Hodgdon H1000 Smokeless Gun Powder... for sale at: Pieceedge Store 4929 Calico Drive, Santa Rosa, CA 94923

https://pieceedge.com/product/hodgdon-h1000-smokeless-gun-powder/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smokeless_powder

Smokeless powder is a type of propellant used in firearms and artillery that produces less smoke and less fouling when fired compared to gunpowder ("black powder"). The combustion products are mainly gaseous, compared to around 55% solid products (mostly potassium carbonate, potassium sulfate, and potassium sulfide) for black powder.^[1] In addition, smokeless powder does not leave the thick, heavy fouling of hygroscopic material associated with black powder that causes rusting of the barrel. Despite its name, smokeless powder is not completely free of smoke;^[2]: 44 while there may be little noticeable smoke from small-arms ammunition, smoke from artillery fire can be substantial.

Originally invented in 1884 by Paul Vieille, the most common formulations are based on nitrocellulose, but the term was also used to describe various picrate mixtures with nitrate, chlorate, or dichromate oxidizers during the late 19th century, before the advantages of nitrocellulose became evident.^{[3]: 146–149}

Smokeless powders are typically classified as division 1.3 explosives under the UN Recommendations on the transportation of Dangerous goods – Model Regulations, regional regulations (such as ADR) and national regulations. However, they are used as solid propellants; in normal use, they undergo deflagration rather than detonation.

Smokeless powder made autoloading firearms with many moving parts feasible (which would otherwise jam or seize under heavy black powder fouling). Smokeless powder allowed the development of modern semi- and fully automatic firearms and lighter breeches and barrels for artillery.
