  • anyone else considering totally boycotting anything that forces an advertisement down your throat on youtube? Just checking, if enough of us do, maybe that will show corporate America to quit shoving advertisements at us and leave youtube the way it was meant to be, ADVERTISEMENT FREE!!

  • holy shit this is on one of the Illuminati cards they made atomic monster but anyways we need to start acting like HUMANS start standing up for each other have world peace so there be no major wars people dieing off of stupid shit we need newer source of energy witch the gov is keeping us from knowing this wouldn't fucking HAPPEN

  • @Boomer1949 Indeed.I really hate to downplay Libya,because I really do believe that it is important...but I must agree with you.In my book,this is easily the most important current story.

    Thank you for the information on the two reactors.I did not know about that at all.

  • @Guitfiddlejase They have two reactors hooked up today but something happened in two of the reactors and they pulled the people out. Because of Libya, this is fading from the news cycle but non the less as serious as it's always been.

  • @Boomer1949 I don't know.I really don't know.

  • @EscapeNewJerseyI've got to admit dude...that thought just went through my mind too....it's got to be pretty bad for them to need the proverbial extension cord.

    crazy huh?

  • Someone please tell me why a NUCLEAR POWER PLANT needs a power cable from the outside?!?!?!?!!?

  • @YouAreOneOfUs Are you a mo ron...? the only radioactivity that reached the us was on the west coast in only raised it a few rads that is minuscule and can not cause any harm it didnt destroy 30 % of the worlds food supply calm down stop listening to the media about eeeverything and stop being such a mo ron

  • Japan moved it to a 5? Are you Insane? This is worst than Chernobyl , anyone with half a brain can see that. For them to still be trying to sell this lie is Criminal.

    Now that radioactivity is hitting the US , 30% of the world food has been tainted?

    Anyone for some sushi?

    Its so bad that the Only geiger counter being shown on the west coast is from an ISP address in Langley and even it was spiking , lol.

    Hold all the media and governments accountable for what they say now, its criminal.

  • This isn't good news. things haven't gotten any better it seems and they don't even know if the electrical pumps will work. Wasn't there anyway to test them before wasting time running a cable to that reactor?
