Nuclear Power and Civil Liberties – theme for February 2011
With uranium mining, nuclear power, nuclear wastes, and nuclear weapons, – civil liberties are increasingly eroded. They must be, even when all seems to be going smoothly. Nuclear reprocessing, with plutonium as fuel, would necessitate taking away even more civil liberties.
A police state would develop, even with “peaceful” nuclear reprocessing. But imagine how fast we would lose civil liberties, in the event of a nuclear mishap – theft of plutonium, terrorist strike, accident. For a start, the public would not even be informed, (for fear of public panic). Very quickly, that police state would be turned into a martial law state.

Antinuclear 
In and about South Australia, the Pro Nukers are always jibbering and jabbering about how they want to turn SA into the Saudi Arabia of nuclear energy based on the most energy intensive swine of a mine at Roxby Downs, the Olympig Dam giant open pig mine. Of course Saudi Arabia is noted to be one of the most cruel regressive and oppressive places on Planet Earth because of the puppet government sold out to the various Sovietopean nations. We could expect the same in South Australia and indeed, many of us associated with the Pro Civil Rights and Pro Peace anti-war groups ARE under surveillance and enforced intimidation, especially at times of “rising tensions”. Examples include phone monitoring, hateful racist fascist messages scrawled on walls, ripping up of holy books such as the Koran in our faces, at our places, even though we do not memorise or know even a single verse or surah in the Koran.
Expect things to get worse as long as Society allows itself to be ruled by a human elite, in direct contravention to Democracy and Freedom.
