Sheila Parks, Ed.D., is a former college professor. She had a spiritual awakening many years ago and left her career to do peace and justice work full time. She is the founder of the grassroots group On Behalf of Planet Earth (found on FB). The group vigiled at the Japanese Consulate/Boston in 2014, standing in solidarity with the people of Japan about the tragic and disastrous meltdown of nuclear power plant Fukushima Daiichi, The group now focuses on closing all nuclear power plants now. We are also focusing now on boycotting the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. The entire country of Japan is radiated and is not a place where we should be sending our young athletes or anyone else. Nuclear power plants are crimes against humanity, all living creatures, and our beautiful and so troubled planet Earth. They leave radioactive waste that lasts hundreds of thousands and even millions of years. They cause leukemia and other cancers. We stand in solidarity with all our sisters and brothers working to keep all fossil fuels in the ground, stop fracking, close all pipelines, halt the construction of new pipelines - that includes all the corporations that do this work for the oil and gas industries. She spent many years in the struggle against nuclear weapons with the Catholic Left. Many of those years involved lots of non-violent civil disobedience against nuclear weapons and other evils of the USA society. She spent a year in prison for a Plowshares action against first strike nuclear weapons, Trident II. Defending the abortion clinics with her body for many years was a part of her feminist activities. Parks spent 13 years working for voting rights, against all electronic voting machines and for the solution of hand-counted paper ballots. She is the author of a book, published September 6, 2012: "WHILE WE STILL HAVE TIME: The Perils of Electronic Voting Machines and Democracy's Solution: Publicly Observed, Secure Hand-Counted Paper Ballots (HCPB)Elections" and the Founder of the Center for Hand-Counted Paper Ballots. She lives in Watertown, MA, and is an ardent socialist feminist, internationalist, investigative journalist and peace & justice activist/organizer.

Election Rigging Plotted on ABC's Scandal: The Real Life Backstory In a flashback scene on last Thursday night's (1/17/2013) episode of ABC's searing political drama Scandal, a cabal of five voted to rig the upcoming presidential election to ensure that their man "Fitz" won. The personal agendas of four of them were revealed to viewers. Ultimately, Hollis - the gang leader - made a call to a computer wiz he knew and told him "It's a go!"

Fukushima, Miso Soup and Me We can never be too careful when it comes to feeding ourselves and our families. There are no safe foods any longer. Only safer foods. One of the hardest things I did right after Fukushima was to give up my beloved miso soup. I had been eating miso soup daily for many decades. And I thought to myself, I am probably never going to be able to eat it again. And for me, now, three-plus years later, that remains true.

The Pacific Ocean Does Not Belong to Japan: It Belongs to All of Us Since radiation in ocean from Fukushima flows way beyond territorial waters of Japan, why are nations of world allowing Japan and TEPCO to have total control over what happens?

Remembering 6th Anniversary of Fukushima March.11.2017 Kimberly Roberson, speaking as a parent and an activist/organizer does not mince her words. They are heart, mind and soul piercing. She is in our faces about the horrific dangers of nuclear power - especially for our babies and children. "Startling clear to me: radioactive fallout from nuclear power and food do not mix, and children are especially at risk"

A Response to Sen. Markey and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - Nuclear power has a large carbon footprint Nuclear Power's Carbon Footprint If you consider nuclear power zero carbon, you are looking only at the direct emissions of the plant. RadiationTruth tells us very clearly that nuclear's carbon footprint is second after fossil fuels because of, e.g., mining uranium or thorium ore, from which nuclear fuel is made; milling; conversion; enrichment; nuclear power plant construction; waste storage; monitoring waste forever;

SCANDAL ABC: Yes, Cyrus, Olivia's Vagina Is Political As for Olivia saying she is "apolitical," I don't think so. She voted to rig the election for Fitz because she thought he would be the better president. She liked what he would do for the country. Sounds political to me. Certainly her vagina was also part of that decision! So in answer to your question, Cyrus, Olivia's vagina is political. For a definitive answer, best to ask Olivia again - although she has already said

SCANDAL ABC: A Pile of Truth for David Rosen and James Novak Of cabal of 5 who had election rigged in Ohio, Verna has been murdered by Fitz. Do we have 4 more to be murdered? Or will they depart by suicide? Or live & tell the truth? Mellie is cozying up to Fitz. She is knifing Cyrus in the back, and he got a good one into her finally. Olivia stays down, way way down. Wait until she finds out Fitz has had her apartment bugged and so she is under surveillance by at least newcomer Jake

SCANDAL ABC: Democracy Continues to Die As is true for everything else in Scandal, I trust that in portrayal of characters there are many layers folding, unfolding and re-folding in again, and each person in cast is most likely a conglomerate of several people, some real,some fictionalized. However, having said that, for some characters, certain real life people come to mind. Here are some people who could have served as some of the inspiration for the characters

Story Notes For Television Producer Shonda Rhimes I love the connection between "Doyle Energy," the fictional oil company owned by character Hollis Doyle (Gregg Henry) and "Cytron," a fictional Internet security company that also secretly develops software unofficially used for electronic voting machines. To get a pipeline through the country, Hollis rigs the election and also causes the explosion at Cytron that kills seven people.

Dear MA officials - what about our children, grandchildren and nuclear power? Would any of you want to be the person who must tell parents that their child has leukemia or another form of cancer? Do you tell your children and grandchildren that radioactive waste lasts hundreds of thousands of years, even millions of years and there is no place to store it. Is that the legacy you want to leave to our children, grandchildren, their children and more than seven generations out into eternity?

Your Vote Got Counted. Here's Why I believe that my side -- your side, the women's side -- won in part because voting rights activists were vigilant. They kept Americans watching, to make sure to document irregularities at the polls. As the result of a fair election, women now have a far better opportunity to lead and influence. More glass ceilings were shattered, although we still await total demolition.

Dear Governor Baker, why do you give your moral authority over to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission? Please, let us listen to what you think about Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station rather than giving away all your moral power to the NRC. Please, let us talk with you, face-to-face, about what we think about nuclear power and Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station. Please, let us collaborate on this crucially important issue to all of us. I am borrowing a hashtag from another group I am involved with #TimesUp CLOSE PILGRIM NOW

What could you have been thinking of, Nuclear Regulatory Commission? To the Nuclear Regulatory Commission What could you be thinking of in transporting high level radioactive waste, the most toxic substance in the universe, across many miles in many states? What could you be thinking of in wanting to bury this high level radioactive waste in low income communities? This is not environmental justice,in fact - just the opposite. Bury it in your own yards instead of theirs.

Dear Senator Collins, I am a nice Jewish woman sending you a Hail Mary pass. I am not sure that all legal scholars refer to Roe as the settled law of the land at the Supreme Court level since Court can always overrule its precedent, and three current Justices on the Court would do so,'" Kavanaugh wrote after reviewing a draft of what was intended to be an op-ed in favor of a judicial nominee.

Cheney Indicted So, YES, Cheney et al deserve to be indicted now for the murder here at home of so many, not only for their immoral wars in Iraq and all over the planet. The war at home on people of color in our holding cells, jails, and prisons and death penalty is no less important than that war everywhere else.

Dear Senators Murkowski, Manchin, and Flake If any red-state Democrat is still thinking of voting for him [Kavanaugh] after these very credible sexual-assault allegations, they should expect an intense voter backlash from women and progressives.

New Yorkers: Don't buy new machines and dump the old! The right to vote,as well as the principle of "one person, one vote," are cornerstones of our democracy...Equally fundamental is the assurance that each voter knows that her or his vote counts and is counted as intended.At this time in our history,many have lost confidence in our voting system. This confidence must be restored.
