The week in nuclear news Australia
A bit of good news – Marc Jacobson: No miracle tech needed: How to switch to renewables now and lower costs doing it.
In my newsletters and on my websites, there are a lot of articles critical of, indeed condemning, NATO and the USA. There are also articles critical of Ukraine, and some revealing the Russian point of view. This isn’t because I’m a Putin supporter. I’m not, and certainly don’t support his illegal invasion of Ukraine. I have publicised some atrocities by the Ukrainians – but I don’t doubt that there have been some atrocities by the Russian side.
The pro-Ukraine, pro NATO/USA side is fulsomely covered by the mainstream media. My reason is simply that the mainstream media is blanketing us with a very biased coverage of the Ukraine war – we are being brainwashed to believe that Ukraine is winning this war, – there’s no case for a negotiated settlement, and that the might of NATO/USA is the solution to this problem, and to pretty much every other problem on the planet. China is evil, but NATO will fix everything. The message is, as a notoriously corrupt Australian Premier used to answer questions , – ” Don’t you worry about THAT” – (ie. ”don’t think. just cheer us on.”)
