I am sorry there have been so few posts lately. I am terrifically busy. Yesterday I was up before dawn and back after midnight, having spent the day in Wales. Regular readers will realise that I am working on something I shan’t be able to blog about until it has come to fruition. I was most amused recently by a commenter who called me an “armchair critic.” I shall be in Germany, Brazil, Afghanistan and Ghana in the next two months.
Also I continue to dig into the extraordinary case of Adam Werritty and just why he was holding all those meetings with Matthew Gould, while Gould was Private Secretary to Miliband and then while he was Private Secretary to Hague, and then while he was UK Ambassador to Israel. I have new information, but as I am working on it with someone else quasi-mainstream I shan’t break it before they do. It is a story that really ought to be a television documentary, but given the mainstream media blackout, I was considering whether a podcast format might be a good way to get it further out there. But I need someone who can film it in a reasonably professional way, cutting in pictures, document extracts and interviews in a manner that looks good.
Any ideas or volunteers out there?
” what fucking relevance does it have with the price of eggs in the farm yard, and who are Semites again?”
Asking that question followed by your incomprehensible metaphor, makes you ignorant beyond all redemptive self-awareness
Bugger off…
đ
Clark,
You can never be sure crossing the road, you will make it to the other side safely.
,
To expect absolute degrees of certainty, in a system such as our universe that abhors absolutism is silly.
,
If Iran did have the nukes she would not be harassed, and bullied 24/7/52
Fedup and Ben, please keep it civil. Ben, I doubt that Fedup hates anyone merely for being Jewish. Fedup, Ben has stated that a US war on Iran would be insane. We can negotiate, or go for all-out conflict… Let’s set a good example.
ignorant beyond all redemptive self-awareness
Cannot stand yet another ziofuckwit episode. Wanker going round and around and whining on about fucking nukes, elections, and shite. Your mission here is to regurgitate the same shite over and again playing out the usual Kabuki.
,
I may have given the wrong impression that I give a rats arse about your fucking brain farts. Nah I don’t.
Clark;
We have trolls in the US. It’s my fault for responding to the ignoramus.
Fedup, I don’t like conventional reactors in any country. They’re dangerous, dirty and each refueling increases the weapons proliferation risk. They also burn uranium far too fast due to their gross inefficiency. I was opposed to Mutually Assured Destruction in the Cold war, and I’m opposed to it for Iran, too.
Ben, Nuid’s question merits an answer.
Clark
These cretins cannot justify their vile racist apartheid supremacist system of exceptionalness. Hence the usual ” you hate Jews”, evidently in post Christian Europe it is mandatory to love Jews, indifference cannot be tolerated and must be inferred to as hatred.
,
However, to expect a resolution by engaging the lowlife practitioners of ziofuckwitry is expecting t find ice cream growing on banana trees in the tropics, ie no fucking chance.
Clark
Conventional reactors, what do you mean? (I am not being nasty)
,
Elaborate (shorthand would do) please.
“Ben, Nuidâs question merits an answer.”
Asked and answered; if y’all would read the comments it wouldn’t be necessary to repeat.
Viable elections in March for the Parliamentary, would elicit some good faith.
Fedup, conventional reactors have a core of solid uranium / uranium oxide fuel rods. Uranium oxide is covalently bonded, but covalent bonds are susceptible to damage by the flux of neutrons within the reactor. Therefore, the fuel has to be removed when the uranium is less than 1% used up; the rods crack and warp, and if you don’t pull them out soon enough they start disintegrating. The other 99% is what causes the “waste” to remain radioactive for tens of thousands of years.
.
A much better approach is shown here:

So much for your optimism Clark, we have come a long way, it used to be mirrors, beads, and fire-water, these days it is abstract woolly hogwash instead.
,
Not that what the fuck is any business of US to poke its noise into internal affairs of any country?
Bullshit Benny.
.
You said, âUnencumbered elections this March.â
I replied, “Thatâs no business of the United States.”
.
I went on to say, “Perhaps Iran should start criticising the fake presidential elections in the United States? Americans donât elect the president. He is bought and paid for.”
.
I then quoted you from a previous thread, âThe public doesnât understand about Petrodollars, and probably doesnât care. Therefore, a cover story must be created. They DO understand fear of nukes, so there you have it.â
.
In those circumstances, you have not explained WHAT Iran would be negotiating ABOUT. I did not ask you what would show good faith (by your lights.) I asked you what Iran would be negotiating ABOUT.
Clark:
“Ben, Nuidâs question merits an answer.”
You want to hang on to this notion?
Ben: “Viable elections in March for the Parliamentary, would elicit some good faith”. Well, that would be good, and it would help, but it’s entirely an internal Iranian matter. What should Iran negotiate about as regards the rest of the world? Judging by all the media noise, the answer would be uranium enrichment, but my plutonium argument above invalidates that.
Answer the question, Ben. Clark is not your Daddy.
Fedup, sorry, what are you referring to as “abstract woolly hogwash”?
I might be his daddy! Who knows?
Indeed!
But no, he’d be coping better here if you were, Clark. đ
“I might be his daddy! Who knows?”
Your mistake is talking with idiots. You are not my daddy. I could be your daddy if the picture is contemporary. Sorry, Clark. I have to judge you by the company you tolerate.
Oh my, he’s a flaming coward.
QED
Clark: “A US attack because of Iranâs internal voting arrangements? Utterly disproportionate and unconscionable.â
.
Ben: This is a stupid conclusion to make in light of this current discussion. I suggested âgood faithâ by Iran might include fair elections allowing the opposition to freely participate. ”
.
I was reading along nicely, then got to this untimely switch from chatty guy to ratty guy. Fedup begins proud prose. Clark is characteristically unswayed bravo!
Clark,
That used to be in the old systems, as well as the old Bomb factories.
,
The current high pressure water reactors, can be moderated much more precisely than in the past, further the advances of materials technology, and construction methods used in production of fuel rods, reduce the dangers of trapped energy, and distortion of the rods.
,
Hence the higher percentages of nuclear fuel burn, in effect create less waste. However, given that every journey starts with the first step, Iranians are just starting their journey of discoveries, hopefully their journey will yield much more efficient nuclear burn processes.
,
However, we must all agree that anti knowledge stance of US and the colonists in Palestine, is based on the notions of; “ignorance is bliss”, which we all know is a puerile and fallacious argument.
Ben, the bit about daddies was just a joke. Sometimes I’m asked if I have any children, and I reply “not so far as I know”, which generally gets a laugh, but it is the situation most men are in. You could indeed be my daddy, as I have no idea who he is or was.
.
What do you think I’m tolerating, and what judgment do you come to?
“Ben, the bit about daddies was just a joke.”
First your excuse for inaccuracy and insult is brevity, Now you are joking. Do you edit your remarks?
“What do you think Iâm tolerating”
Incivility…
“Fedup, sorry, what are you referring to as âabstract woolly hogwashâ?”
Fedup;
Clark deserves a response….
Clark
âabstract woolly hogwashâ
,
,
the constant reference to; elections, democracy, freedom of choice, freedom of expression, ad nauseum.
,
This relic of the last century may have been bought by the “soviet block” citizens, however in the 21st century with the available communications technology, somehow rings hollow and meaningless; abstract woolly hogwash.
,
This weapon has way past its use by date
EVERYBODY deserves a response, Ben, as long as you keep the subject well away from the quote I gave you (from yourself):
âThe public doesnât understand about Petrodollars, and probably doesnât care. Therefore, a cover story must be created. They DO understand fear of nukes, so there you have it.â
.
Does the USA negotiate about petrodollars? Hm? What would Iran be negotiating about Ben?
LOL … goodnight
Fedup, somewhat higher overall fuel burnup is achieved through improved reactor design and reprocessing, but it only gets us up to a few percent. The molten salt reactors are not a development from solid fueled reactors; it’s independent technology that was abandoned in the ’60s because it didn’t produce plutonium for the Cold War. A country doesn’t have to make solid fueled reactors before they can progress to molten salt reactors. The drawbacks of solid fuel reactors are inherent in the covalent chemical bonds in the solid fuel. Molten fuel has ionic chemical bonds and is thus not susceptible to damage from neutron flux.
