PLUTONIAN ODE HIROSHIMA NUCLEAR TESTING

The estimated "physically present" population of Hiroshima on August 6 1945 was 340,000--350,000. Nagasaki's estimated "physically present" population on August 9 was 90,000--120,000.

The US detonated

1,030 nuclear devices between years 1945 and 1992.


Plutonian Ode - combines scientific info on 24,000-year cycle of the Great Year compared with equal half-life of Plutonium waste, accounting Homeric formula for appeasing underground millionaire Pluto Lord of Death, jack in the gnostic box of Aeons, and Adamantine Truth of ordinary mind inspiration, unhexing nuclear ministry of fear. - a.g.


Allen Ginsberg led a peaceful protest outside a plutonium bomb trigger factory, in which he succeeded with his friends to stop a train carrying nuclear waste.

Plutonian Ode

What new element before us unborn in nature? Is there
a new thing under the Sun?
At last inquisitive Whitman a modern epic, detonative,
Scientific theme
First penned unmindful by Doctor Seaborg with poison-
ous hand, named for Death's planet through the
sea beyond Uranus
whose chthonic ore fathers this magma-teared Lord of
Hades, Sire of avenging Furies, billionaire Hell-
King worshipped once
with black sheep throats cut, priests's face averted from
underground mysteries in single temple at Eleusis,
Spring-green Persephone nuptialed to his inevitable
Shade, Demeter mother of asphodel weeping dew,
her daughter stored in salty caverns under white snow,
black hail, grey winter rain or Polar ice, immemor-
able seasons before
Fish flew in Heaven, before a Ram died by the starry
bush, before the Bull stamped sky and earth
or Twins inscribed their memories in clay or Crab'd
flood
washed memory from the skull, or Lion sniffed the
lilac breeze in Eden-- "

FROM THE WHITE HOUSE :

Encouraging Next Generation Nuclear Power and Fusion
www.whitehouse.gov/ omb/budget/fy2005/energy.html The Administration has taken steps to encourage nuclear power as a clean, reliable, and affordable source of electricity in the coming decades, including streamlining the permitting process for new nuclear power plants, proposing tax changes to help ensure that nuclear plant decommissioning costs are adequately funded, providing a deep geological repository for high-level nuclear waste at the Yucca Mountain site, and proposing extension of the Price-Anderson nuclear liability Act. The 2005 Budget continues these efforts by providing $31 million for research and development on Generation IV nuclear power technology, a $7 million increase over 2004 funding. Generation IV technology offers the promise of a safe, economic, and proliferation-resistant source of clean nuclear power and hydrogen. The Budget also continues research on advanced, proliferation-resistant nuclear fuel that would allow the Nation to extract the energy potential from spent nuclear fuel and dramatically reduce the quantity and toxicity of remaining waste. In January 2003, President Bush committed the United States to participate in negotiations on the largest and most technologically sophisticated energy research project in the world—the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER)—to harness the promise of fusion energy, the form of energy that powers the sun. The United States and its international partners—the European Union, Japan, Russia, China, and South Korea—plan to reach a consensus decision on the site for ITER early in 2004. If successful, this cost-shared $5 billion research project will help develop fusion's potential as a commercially viable and clean source of energy in the middle of the century. The $38 million provided for this international partnership in the 2005 Budget, a $30 million increase over 2004 funding, will ensure that the United States is prepared to participate fully in this important project.

nobody talks about ginsberg's poem, it's one of my favourites!

ps my granddad was killed by the japs but i bear no grudge

[PhoenixSF90]

Fair enough, the bombings were certainly not meant to be 'genocidal' - but they were certainly lethal.

Those bombs killed women, babies, children, the elderly and unborn babies.

They left a scar so deep that the after-effects can be witnessed today in the children of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The errors and hatred of a past generation still flows through the blood of the present generations. War is a terrible curse upon mankind.

August 6 and 9, 1945, will always go down in the history of mankind as the dates when one of the most evil empires in 20th century was finally and completely defeated.

[gilliamjf]

It wasn't a nuclear bomb, these were atomic bombs. The only instances in history one was unleased was here in 1945.

@anonymoustruther2 I'll check on those later. Nowadays, I'm inclined to doubt anything. The world became a huge stage, and I wouldn't be surprised if you're right...

[burningmatch09]

@anonymoustruther2 Wouldn't it be nice?

[giannivee1]

@djzman23 I guess you got the truth and the rest of us just weren't paying attention. Thanks for correcting us and setting us straight..maybe we can get you as a speaker to address the UN...God Bless you sir.

[djzman23]

@djzman23 Research the American soldier Bradley Manning and you will realise the lies your government is giving out

[djzman23]

@giannivee1 I live in Australia and yes they are part of the Brtitish colonies which has killed and enslaved millions and people but at least i admit it was wrong and that it is a crime against humanity

But the truth is right now the people who are commiting crimes against humanity is the USA (along with a few other people) and the difference between me and you is that you think America is doing this in self-defence.

What WEED ARE YOU SMOKING!!
