Thursday, September 18, 2014Corporate Personhood Is the Ebola Virus of Climate Chaos But nothing truly lasting will happen until we eradicate the virus that's killing us all--the unrestrained corporate power over our lives and planet. The core engine of our economy must at last be made directly accountable to humankind and our Mother Earth.
Saturday, November 3, 2012Will America's 2012 Election Be Stolen? National Press Club, Monday, November 5 Press conference will focus on the ownership, programming, operation and management of America's electronic vote count, an on-going threat to the verifiability of our national vote count.

With Green Party Presidential Candidate Jill Stein and authors of WILL THE GOP STEAL AMERICA'S 2012 ELECTION, Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman
Friday, February 5, 2021Will a Hitlerian Impeachment Performance Ignite Trump's Paramilitary Death Squads? No matter how badly Trump comports himself in the eyes of his haters, his cultist legions will lap up every drop of insane blather. Once back in the spotlight, Donald Trump need merely open his mouth and the madness will march.
Saturday, November 30, 2019Ohio's Pro-Nuke Assault Threatens American Democracy with Violence & More The nuclear industry's violent assault on democracy in Ohio has taken a surreal leap. It could seriously impact whether Donald Trump will carry this swing state-and the nation-in 2020.
Friday, August 2, 201940 Ways Ohio Now Proposes Nuclear Suicide A bought, gerrymandered Ohio Legislature has just handed a much-hated $150 million/year public bailout to two dinosaur nuke reactors primed to explode. It also bails out two filthy 50-year-old coal burners and guts programs for increased efficiency. But a possible repeal referendum could reverse all that and have a serious impact on the Trumpsters who pushed it in the 2020 election.
Tuesday, March 24, 2020Trump's Perfect Portal to Absolute Power In the ultimate election year, confusion and fear have overtaken our species. That America's Constitutional recourse for removing this de facto dictator has been plunged into chaos. That a megalomanic mobster has declared a national emergency and granted himself tyrannical dominion.
Friday, January 26, 2018Trump's Assault on Solar Masks an Epic Crisis in the Nuclear Industry A major crisis in the nuclear power industry is threatening to shut four high-profile reactors, with more shutdowns to come. These closures could pave the way for thousands of new jobs in wind and solar, offsetting at least some of the losses from Trump's attack.
Friday, December 28, 2018The Green New Deal Promises Peace and Progress. Will Nuclear Advocates Undermine it? The Green New Deal's most visible public advocate, newly elected 29-year-old U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Democrat of New York, has laid out a preliminary blueprint advocating an energy economy meant to be based entirely on "renewable" and "clean" sources. According to a report in The Hill, fossil fuels and nuclear power are "completely out" of her plan.
Tuesday, April 1, 2014The Nuclear Omnicide Burning coal spews still more radiation into our air, along with mercury and other lethal pollutants. Fracking for gas draws toxins up from the earth's crust. Industry apologists say reactors can moderate the climate chaos caused by burning those fossil fuels. But fighting global weirding with atomic power is like trying to cure a fever with a lethal dose of X-ray. The larger biospheric clock is ticking. We need to act.
Wednesday, April 1, 2015How Ohio's Energy Economy Became a Radioactive 19th Century Relic Today Ohio's fossil-fueled, landlocked capital city is the western world's largest with neither internal commuter light rail nor access by passenger train service from anywhere else. After being at the cusp of major solar & wind power advances, the state has all but killed the prospects for any large new green energy projects. The state may now miss one of history's biggest and most profitable technological transformations
Sunday, October 20, 2019Ohio's Fascist Pro-Nuke Attack on Democracy Comes Due on Monday A terrifying series of gestapo-style assaults, petition buying, bribery, mass media manipulation and systematic intimidation has smacked into the attempt of Ohio citizens to repeal a billion-dollar bailout for two dangerously failing atomic reactors on Lake Erie.
Friday, June 5, 2020Who Will Confront Trump's KKK/Gestapo at the Polls This Fall? Trump's GOP has already raised $20 million for anti-democracy lawsuits. While claiming the fall election will be "rigged," Trump's minions say they'll raise a 50,000-strong vigilante army to terrorize "suspicious" (i.e., young, non-white, non-millionaire) voters at the polls
Wednesday, August 28, 2013Dr. Hansen, We Need You at Fukushima and Diablo Canyon When you draw a line from Three Mile Island through Chernobyl and Fukushima, what comes next? At the very least -- before anyone spends time and money on still more atomic pipe dreams -- we need a unified global scientific community to put an end to the escalating radioactive horror that's with us now.
Sunday, November 15, 2020Trump Is US History's Biggest Loser Donald Trump will not be re-inaugurated on January 20, 2021. For the rest of human history, the overthrow of Donald Trump can serve as a shining example of an angry public successfully disposing of a despicable tyrant.
Thursday, September 21, 2017Nuclear Plants Plus Hurricanes: Disasters Waiting to Happen Harvey and Irma threatened six reactors with catastrophic failure, and all of us with apocalyptic disaster.
Friday, December 15, 2017Fighting the Assaults on Net Neutrality and Our Economy Trump's "tax reform" and internet assault are at the cutting edge of a suicidal war being waged by the psychotic rich against the rest of us -- and the planet. The center is not holding. Our social and ecological fabric is giving way. Our survival is at stake. These turning-point elections in Virginia and Alabama give us hope. Like those elections, these are conflicts we cannot afford to lose.
Tuesday, January 13, 2015Terror Attack on Charlie Hebdo Ignites Fear of Global Nuclear Disaster - EcoWatch The terror attack on the French magazine Charlie Hebdo must now face a terrifying reality: It's a horrible thing when an organ of free speech is assaulted and journalists die.
Sunday, May 12, 2019As Reactors Shut in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, Nuke War Rages in Ohio and New York As the nuke power industry slumps toward oblivion, two huge reactors are shutting in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.
