Nuclear Meltdown In a Cartoon Show...
NOT REALITY

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

The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 near the city of Pripyat in the north of the Ukrainian SSR in the Soviet Union.^[1][2] It is considered the worst nuclear disaster in history both in cost and casualties.^[3]

Some Guy on FaceBorg Stated: 

Nuclear power may be a coming good stock option, as people on the left slowly recognize it is the only quick way to replace fossil fuels. And people on the right may deny climate change as a whole, but they generally have less resistance to nuclear power anyway, to them it's just more electricity to avoid brownouts and run air conditioners, etc.

I Replied: Nuclear power takes a long time to build... Nothing quick about it... and Usually It''s Over budget with missed deadlines... and More Missed Deadlines... and Radioactive waste that has to be stored safely and guarded for 10,000 years... that' why the Executives at PG&E, SoCal Edison and SMUD all say NO NUKES! Those people are not fooled by propaganda.

So what would you replace fossil fuels with? I support solar, hydro, geothermal, and wind, but the raw materials to build all the batteries, panels, controls etc aren't there yet with solar and wind to replace fossil fuels, Germany and Cali are suffering brown outs, not acceptable to most people. So what is your kilowatt-ready solution?

I Replied: Drive Cars Less... Cut driving in Half. Build more Dams for hydro. Build Stationary Bicycle Power Generators... Cut Jet airplane travel in Half... Invent Better air Conditioners... Invent Better Heaters... like pumping air from deep underground... build houses out of thick adobe walls and tile roofs... They are Automatically the right temp... Just like the Missions in California...

Some Guy Said:

as soon as that happens somewhere (Like Cali or Germany) I'll take it seriously. Meanwhile, the brown-outs and fossil fuel use are increasing in those "Green" places.

I Replied:

Meme Showing How to Cut Driving Cars in Half... Massive Savings of Fossil Fuel... You KNOW That we can do this... WE JUST DID... Working from Home is Ecological and it frees people from wasting two hours a day stuck in traffic... For Years I rode the bus to work in Eureka and San Jose... It's Great!

 

I Replied: 

Whatever You Do... Do NOT Buy Stock in a Company that Makes Nuclear Power Plants. LEARN from History... Westinghouse went bankrupt due to Vogtle Nuclear Power Plant and GE lost a Fortune due to their Fukushima Reactors... Handy Stock Market Tips! Valuable Info! This isn't "Political" It's a Valid Study of Reality... Scott McCord obviously Has Not Studied the Market... and is giving bad advice...

SMUD SAYS NO NUKES! Just Too Damn Expensive! The Rancho Seco plant operated from April 1975 to June 1989, with a lifetime capacity factor of less than 40%; it was closed by public vote in June 1989 (53% to 47%) after half of its intended lifetime primarily for economic reasons: ratepayers had seen their rates doubled in the last four years to pay for improvements to the plant, and electricity from natural gas was priced at half that of the electricity generated by Rancho Seco. (2.3 cents / kWh, vs. 5.4 cents / kWh)[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rancho_Seco_Nuclear_Generating_Station

*JUST JOKING* A Step by Step Guide to the Violet Overgrow of the Ruling Class - A Novel by Gregory Vanderlaan *JUST JOKING*

Step #1: 

Boycott Everything Until Prices Come Down. 

Corporations owned by the 1% keep on raising prices and collecting windfall profits. They will keep on doing that until people quit buying. If they could, they would charge $100.00 for a Quart of Milk... 

Step #2: Sneak Marijuana Cookies onto the Buffet Tables of the Hotels near Capitol Hill in Washington DC. If the "Suits" that Run the Government had a Cannabis Trip... maybe they would think twice about doing evil for a living. Place some Cannabis Edibles in the Senate Dining Room also... At the very least they would change the CrazyLaws® about Marijuana... 

Step #3: Cut the Pentagon Budget in Half. This will really anger the Ruling Class as They Profit Greatly from Corporate Welfare. Remember: Since 1945 the US Military has Never Defended the USA... Not Even Once... So all that money being spent at the Pentagon is Just a Way to Transfer Wealth from the Taxpayers to the Owners of Defense Corporations...  The same Owners Finance the Campaigns of the Senators and Congressmen that Write the Bills that Fund the Pentagon... So the Money Travels in a Tight Circle... and YOU GET NOTHING... 

Step #4: Stop Funding Fossil Fuel Corporations. "U.S. taxpayers spend tens of billions of dollars a year subsidizing new fossil fuel exploration, production, and consumption, which directly affects how much oil, natural gas, and coal gets produced—and how much clean energy doesn’t." https://generation180.org/the-absurd-truth-about-fossil-fuel-subsidies/

A Big Blue Wave Abstract by gvan42

There are two ways to get everything you want. 
Get More or Want Less.

Buying Used Stuff at Thrift Stores DOES NOT CAUSE ECOLOGICAL DAMAGE Like Buying New Stuff Does. When You Buy a New Product, the Corporation Has to Replace It. They Mine Raw Materials, grow plants (like cotton) using pesticides and herbicides, Log Forests, Employ Slave Laborers in the Orient, Burn Gasoline Shipping the Plastic Crap Here From China... and on and on and on... Used Products ALREADY EXIST and so Buying Stuff at The Eureka Rescue Mission Thrift Shop (my local store) does NOT Harm the Planet. Actually, They Hire Local People to Work as Clerks and Do Delivery. We Bought ALL our Living Room Furniture there. Three Chairs and a Sofa... and Men Delivered It Upstairs in Our Home. NO WAY could I Move those Heavy Objects Up That Staircase... I Tipped those Guys $10 Each... and they were really Thankful. Yes, I Could Have Spent a Fortune at Sears or KMART but... I Prefer to Keep The Money IN MY WALLET. I Like Employing Guys That Live At The Rescue Mission. The Mission Does Good Work Here in Eureka and I've Met a LOT of Real People That They Help. I did buy new Beds at Sears. Somehow, those were just too Personal to Buy Used... also, I Do Not Buy Used Underwear... BUT, Clothes? YES! It's actually fun to find thrift stores in Super Rich Neighborhoods and Live Like the TV Show "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous..." A Great Place to Shop is North Shore Lake Tahoe... Snow Bunnies often Donate Extra Stuff When the Season is Over... and There is Also DUMPSTER DIVING in College Towns at the End of the School Year... FREE STUFF!

Mt. Shasta Lore:
            Indigenous people from Northern California and Southern Oregon are primarily the Pit River Indians, Modocs, Wintu, Karuk, Hupa, Shasta and Yurok tribes.

Mt. Shasta’s peak has been used as a spiritual and geographical locator.  At 14,179 ft. elevation and an active volcano, Mt. Shasta towers above all other surrounding mountains.  Native people do not reside on Mt. Shasta because it is considered so powerful.  Spiritual ceremony is conducted in areas below the timberline and when finished, the surroundings are returned to nature, with nothing left behind.  Medicine men and shamans are often taken to Mt. Shasta for training.  There is much Native lore telling how the mountain has healed through prayer, songs, dancing, doctoring and through nature.  The mountain yields a sacred spring and areas for collecting plants and herbs for ceremony and healing.  The mountain is called ‘grandfather’ as it represents the paternal grandparents of the Pit River Tribe.  Their powerful spirit called Mis Misa is said to live inside the mountain and serves to keep the universe in balance.  They consider Mt. Shasta the beginning of all life and the end of all life, where one can ascend into the sky along the Milky Way to the beyond.

The Native peoples report many tunnels within Mt. Shasta.  The Wintu say the mountain generates sound that provides information and guidance.  The Wintu lore says another realm exists inside the mountain and access might come through doorways, such as vents in caves.  Mt. Shasta must be approached with great care and respect as it is guarded by certain spirits.  Mt. Shasta is so powerful that only short visits are appropriate.  It is said that “It has it all”.  During ceremony, the Wintu frequently hear and know the presence of the “little people”, called the Mountain Boys, who live deep within the mountain.  A shaman can communicate with the little people.  The shaman also uses the bubbling brook on the mountain to gain spiritual information. 

When visiting the mountain, silence is important for meditation and fasting. The mountain spirits command respect.


METAPHYSICAL LORE


As early as the 1880s, writers began their association of the lost continent of Lemuria with Mt. Shasta.  Even though these theories cannot be proved, the power of the mountain remains supreme.  People worldwide visit Mt. Shasta to be close to its spiritual energy, to meditate, to communicate with the spirit world and to be healed.  The concept of Lemurians living within the mountain has become widely popular and anyone visiting Mt. Shasta will be amazed by the abundance of literature on the topic as well as practitioners working within the vortex of an important spiritual community.

https://www.npr.org/2015/06/07/412098380/a-mountain-of-many-legends-draws-spiritual-seekers-from-around-the-globe

Native American stories.

"The Native Americans have always felt that the mountain was the sacred center of the universe," Ashalyn says. "They even have stories that talk about it being the home of the creator."

Mount Shasta straddles the territories of the Shasta, Wintu, Achumawi, Atsugewi and Modoc tribes. Not surprisingly, the imposing mountain shows up in a lot of tribal myths and stories. It's especially important to the Wintu tribe, who trace their people's origin back to a sacred spring on the mountain.

"They have always done their sacred ceremonies there, and they continue to do them to this day," says Ashalyn. "Every August they do their ceremonies for just the tribe and their invited guests."

Then there are the "ascended masters." In the 1930s, a businessman named Guy Ballard was hiking on the mountainside when he encountered a mysterious figure, who claimed to be an "ascended master."

"Those are beings who have had many lifetimes on this planet," explains Ashalyn, "and no longer need to come back to that birth-death cycle that we're in, because they've learned to master the physical plane."

As Ballard would later write, this particular ascended master passed on his teachings and took him on a cosmic journey through space and time.

Ballard, along with his wife, Edna, soon started a religious movement called the "I AM Activity" — a mix of Christianity, theosophy and fierce nationalism (Ballard claimed to be George Washington reincarnated, and said that America was spiritually superior among nations). At the height of its popularity, the I AM Activity had about a million followers. They were eventually charged by the U.S. government for swindling their followers out of millions of dollars, and the group fell into obscurity.


Finally, there's the legend of Telos.

According to Ashalyn, Telos is a crystal city inside the mountain, inhabited by higher-dimensional beings called Lemurians.

"That goes all the way back to the ancient continent of Lemuria that was in the North Pacific Ocean many thousands of years ago," she says. "It actually was inhabited before Atlantis was inhabited."

As the story goes, Lemuria and Atlantis got into a thermonuclear war and sank their continents. The Lemurians fled into Mount Shasta, and that's where they've remained ever since. Mostly.

What Turns People Into Spiritual Virtuosos?
"Well, there's a couple stories from the 1940s where the Lemurians were actually seen walking into town," says Ashalyn. They were 7 feet tall, dressed in long white robes and sandals. They went to the general store to buy supplies, and paid for their purchases with chunks of gold. "The shopkeeper would take the gold, turn around and try to give them change, and the Lemurian would be gone."


These days, no one reports eyewitness accounts of Lemurians in the flesh — but some locals believe the smooth, saucer-shaped lenticular clouds that often gather at the summit of Mount Shasta are engineered by the Lemurians to camouflage alien cargo ships docking at Telos.
