Seeing through the fog is easier said than done. While the alternative media has done a Herculean job of highlighting phenomena that would never have seen the light of day, not everything that comes down the pike is accurate. Conjecture and speculation color the raw data to such a degree that any real objective analysis is hampered by those who screech their unfounded beliefs the loudest. The result of such malfeasance emanating from the dredges of the alternative media is the Carnival of Distractions.

Interview with Boots Riley from 'The Coup'
Dec. 5, 2012, 10:40 p.m.
Rapping with Boots Riley
Being a huge fan of The Coup and the political sting in their lyrics a 15 minute interview with front man Boots Riley was an exciting prospect but also a daunting.
Thereâs so much to talk about in so little time, aside from the new album I really wanted to hear what Boots had to say about things like⦠Pork and Beef, 500 ways to Kill a C.E.O and Fat Cats and Bigga Fish⦠among other topics which come up in his music.
The new album Sorry to Bother You is the soundtrack to a movie Bootâs has written about his time working in a call center.
We didnât get to talk about that during the interview though instead we talked about the bandâs tour to Europe, Occupy Oakland and protest tactics.

For 50 years the NRC has refused to answer the question "What are you going to do with the high level radioactive waste?". By Federal court order they must produce produce an environmental impact statement on storing the high level radioactive waste at reactor sites.
The NRC is trying to cram a 7 year project into two years, while allowing only 3 months for public comment. The NRC had to restart the comment period after it's original notice, calling for public comment, was found to be obscure and cryptic. Public Comments window close January 2, 2013.

Where Are the People? Keynote Address
Dec. 4, 2012, 9:34 p.m.
Key note lecture at A Mountain of Waste 70 Years High: Ending the Nuclear Age Conference held at the University of Chicago December 1-2, 2012. The conference took place just blocks from the makeshift laboratory used to conduct the experiment that produced the worlds first sustained nuclear reaction validating the possibility of an atomic bomb. There were many unknowns in the experiment. Yet out of expedience and hubris the scientist conducted the experiment in Chicago. Tens of thousands of city dwellers were oblivious of the risk to which they were being involuntarily exposed. Such disregard for the people has been a constant through out the nuclear age. From the mining of the ore, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the exposure of service men and civilians to radioactive fall out, to the present catastrophic radiation releases that Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and now Fukushima have demonstrated are ever threatening to catch us off-guard and forever poison the planet.
