It already happened several times. Twitter admitted to hiding tweets with hash tags like #wikileaks; #podestaemails... So I guess the USA isn't all that different, if you dismiss the propaganda. You just don't have the universal healthcare and you get to spend 10 times more on the military and NSA snooping.
Fake empire news. https://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/-Venezuela-Holds-Firs...
That would stop Facebook from interfering in Russian elections.
Usonians are so brainwashed by "american exceptionalism" that they can't even see how out of control their military/industrial complex has become.
Oh really? Am I being singled out? Or are you ready to call conspiracy mongers to everybody in this thread who "cast doubt" over WaPo allegiances?
WaPo is a CIA mouthpiece. So it's to be expected if they portray "The Intercept" as an unsafe place to leak to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofB1b3RMdhA&list=PLTpcK80ird...
"The budget for Hanford alone is about $2.3 billion in the current fiscal year, about $1.5 billion of that going to the management and treatment of approximately 56 million gallons of radioactive liquid waste stored in underground storage tanks." https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2017/05/0...
Ultimately, however, the core problem may be that such new reactors don't eliminate the nuclear waste that has piled up so much as transmute it. Even with a fleet of such fast reactors, nations would nonetheless require an ultimate home for radioactive waste, one reason that a 2010 M.I.T. report on spent nuclear fuel dismissed such fast reactors. Or, as Cochran puts it: "If you want to get rid of milk, don't feed it to cows."

"Do the math! 1.1 additional GT out of 36 GT emitted is only a 3% difference. This 3% value is not a typographical error. Worldwide, all those nukes made only a 3% dent in yearly CO2 production. Put another way, each of the 438 individual nuclear plants contribute less than seven thousandths of one percent to CO2 reduction[18]. That’s hardly enough to justify claims that keeping your old local nuke running is necessary to prevent the sea from rising."

Seriously? "Expensive but not impossible"?
Can we focus on renewables and stop trying to sell people hazardous waste that can last for millenia? You do realize that you can't actually guarantee what will happen in 10, 20... 50 years time. Earthquakes, Tsunamis, tornados, terrorist attacks, wars, neglect, malfunction, human error... How can you guarantee that a certain place is safe to store millions of tons of radioactive waste for thousands of years if we can't even guarantee what will happen tomorrow? We need to stop this nuclear madness!
Just the other day: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2017/05/0...
It's pure madness that we keep on producing such hazardous waste! And for what purpose? Cleaner energy? Nope! If you take into account the waste management needs, the Uranium mining, the risks involved and the fact that these nuclear plants have to be highly subsidized in order to keep working. Why are we still using such an obviously flawed technology? https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/05/170525141544.h...
This episode shows just how dangerous it is to have a militarized police force, behaving as if they were in a war zone. And it's also terrible that the Independent didn't focus it's reporting on the whole militarized police issue.
Gentrify Portugal
You took the words right out of my keyboard. :D
I wonder... "Many have suspected it, but now it appears to be official: police departments refuse to hire applicants with high IQ scores. Critics of law enforcement have long suggested that police officers tend to be selected for their lack of critical thinking, but news that department hiring processes officially disqualify high-scoring applicants might still come as a shock to many. While a rare exception to the rule might slip through the cracks, if you are too smart, police departments simply won’t hire you." http://countercurrentnews.com/2014/04/police-officially-refu...
It all sounds like astrologists gambling in a casino with millions of people's lives on the line.
Almost like Facebook, but without the DIY approach. :D
What if it was just a slaughterhouse?
Do checkout: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/japan/1155690... which is linked in that same article. It makes me wonder if these drone-catching techniques will be focused on Fukushima/nuclear related protests or fly-overs to get independent radiation measurements.
Looks to me that the seller is just using Fortune to advertise the property.
Power to the people!
