The Naperville Chronicles – A Developing Story
Recent events in Naperville, Illinois, an epicenter of ‘smart’ meter resistance, reveal the naked face of technocratic corporatism. But it may just prove to be the example of authoritarian overreach that creates a tidal wave of public outrage. The banality of go-along-to-get-along evil is shown in the faces of the neanderthal police and installers who ‘just do their job’ in running roughshod over the rights of property owners and renters.

Why the NRC Should Shut it Down

The following brief video clips (scroll down) will tell you, in a nutshell, why Southern California Edison’s proposed plan to restart one of their two currently shut-down, faulty nuclear reactors is criminal corporate folly. Located near multiple earthquake faults in a tsunami zone, operation of the damaged reactor recklessly endangers the dense population and agriculture of all Southern California as well as the nationally strategic seaport.

These clips are co-sponsored by Women’s Energy Matters (WEM) and EON, and produced by EON’s new LA-based media team members Laurent Malaquais and Morgan Peterson. In these clips, Gary Headrick, co-founder of the San Clemente Greens, (SanClementeGreen.org) reports what whistleblowers have revealed to him about sabotage of back-up generators at San Onofre. Gyojun Yasuda (Jun-san to her many international friends), a Buddhist nun recently returned from Fukushima, graphically documents how children are the most tragic victims of nuclear contamination.

These are the first of forthcoming joint EON/WEM reports on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s (NRC) public meeting on the San Onofre nuclear imbroglio Nov. 30, 2012.

OHIO – VOTE HEIST 2012?
[ Please visit https://www.indiegogo.com/SwingState?a=190715 to support our IndieGoGo joint funding effort with FreePress.org for a video report on both vote suppression and Romney’s links to the machines counting the votes in key swing state Ohio. ]

How to Steal an Election – Let Us Count the Ways
Columbus, Ohio – Here we go again. Just like 2004, only worse.

Multiple, blatant voter suppression ploys by Republican election officials that could disenfranchise millions of voters. A Romney-campaign funders’-and-family owned electronic voting machine company tabulating the vote in a key county. A last-minute Republican Sec. of State directive that could invalidate legal provisional ballots. Suspicious last-minute Republican Sec. of State issued ‘experimental’ patches for the electronic voting machines’ software. It all adds up to make possible swinging the entire crucial state of Ohio to Romney and therefore to swing the entire election. And Ohio’s a representative microcosm of attempted election theft by the Grand Old Party in other swing states.

Thank the Election Gods that the fraud-busting investigative team at FreePress.org is on the job blowing the whistle – as they have been since 2004. Now Bob Fitrakis, his partner Suzanne Patzer and Harvey Wasserman are joined by cyber-sleuth Gerry Bello.

You may remember that we have been documenting FreePress.org’s election protection efforts in a series of docs and interviews since 2004. Now we’re back in Columbus documenting their investigation of attempted election rigging 2012 in this swing state and their attempts to stop it.

The Politics of Denial
Both the corporate parties are in (what’s new?) denial about the vulnerability to massive fraud in the U.S. election system, joining forces with some ‘mainstream’ and liberal media to poo-poo the Free Press investigative reports. This time, however – unlike previous elections – some domestic news sources like Forbes and the Business Insider and some foreign news organizations are beginning to pay serious attention.

It’s Not Easy Being Green!
As in previous elections, the Green Party is a stalwart partner in the election protection efforts. Green Presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein and her Vice Presidential running mate Cheri Honkala are literally putting their bodies on the line for deep democracy and speaking out on the election fraud issue.

Arrested after trying to exercise their legal right as third-party candidates on 85% of the country’s ballots to participate in the public corporate parties’ rigged debate theatrics, Stein and Honkala were handcuffed and shackled to chairs for eight hours. Outrageous? Ya think?

Mounting Legal Challenges
If – as massive evidence already suggests – there is serious electoral hankie-pankie in Ohio, the Stein Campaign intends to mount a legal challenge for a total paper ballot recount. Attorney Fitrakis is intentionally running as a Green candidate for the senate in order to have legal standing.

Washington Press Conference
As we post this, we’re off to cover a Monday press conference at the Washington, DC National Press Club on this issue. Then we’ll be back in Columbus to cover Ohio election day shenanigans with the FreePress.org team. Stay tuned…

The Dangers of Restart
Both nuclear power reactors numbers 2 and 3 at San Onofre, California have been shut downsince January 2012 because of faulty, leaking new steam generators.

Operated by Southern California Edison, the San Onofre nuclear reactors are located near earthquake faults in a tsunami zone.

Despite growing opposition by national and local organizations, the operators are pushing to restart one of the reactors without a license amendment and full evidentiary hearing before the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

Dan Hirsch, President of The Committee to Bridge the Gap, recently issued a report detailing the dangers to public safety that restarting the damaged nuclear reactor would pose.

This is his presentation of the Report’s findings. Part 2, with additional speakers and Q&A will follow ASAP
