This Week on GR
 This week: Patrick Henningsen is a UK-based pundit, commentator, online editor, journalist,
and founder of 21st Century Wire, a news service launched during the
2009 Copenhagen Climate Change Summit.
According to them, The 21st
Century Wire is an attempt to, quote; "deliver content that looks
squarely at power, its architecture, as well as the seeds of
corruption."
Henningsen is in the United States today, following the
burgeoning story of twin nuclear disasters in the making in the
heartland that aren't making the headlines.

Happy Fourth to our American friends south, and Happy New
Government of Canada Day to all who support the Stephen Harper
Quislings. We are all, on this fourth of July, experiencing the greatest
anthropogenic environmental disaster in history, but incredibly few
know it.
While most with access to media
remember, if vaguely, the April 6th earthquake and subsequent tsunami
that knocked out Japan's Fukushima Dai-Itchi nuclear facility, how many
are aware the multiple meltdown is ongoing?
How
many are cognizant of the fact, a great swath of Japan is now
uninhabitable, and will likely remain that way for generations?
And,
how many know, right now in the United States, multiple nuclear
facilities are on the brink of following Fukushima, with the possibility
of rendering millions of Americans homeless, and making great swathes
of that nation a radioactive wasteland?
