Despite protests Kansas City gets a new nuclear power plant

FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

Should the U.S. government be building more nuclear weapons? Residents of Kansas City, Missouri, don’t appear to think so, for they are engaged in a bitter fight against the construction of a new nuclear weapons plant in their community.

The massive plant, 1.5 million square feet in size, is designed to replace an earlier version, also located in the city and run by the same contractor: Honeywell. The cost of building the new plant—which, like its predecessor, will provide 85 percent of the components of America’s nuclear weapons—is estimated to run $673 million.

From the standpoint of the developer, Centerpoint Zimmer (CPZ), that’s a very sweet deal. In payment for the plant site, a soybean field it owned, CPZ received $5 million. The federal government will lease the property and plant from a city entity for twenty years, after which, for $10, CPZ will purchase it, thus establishing the world’s first privately-owned nuclear weapons plant. In addition, as the journal Mother Jones has revealed, “the Kansas City Council, enticed by direct payments and a promise of ‘quality jobs,’ . . . agreed to exempt CPZ from property taxes on the plant and surrounding land for twenty-five years.” The Council also agreed to issue $815 million in bond subsidies from urban blight funds to build the plant and its infrastructure. In this lucrative context, how could a profit-driven corporation resist?

Kansas City residents, however, had greater misgivings. They wondered why the U.S. government, already possessing 8,500 nuclear weapons, needed more of them. They wondered what had happened to the U.S. government’s commitment to engage in treaties for nuclear disarmament. They wondered how the new weapons plant fit in with the Obama administration’s pledge to build a world free of nuclear weapons. And they wondered why they should be subsidizing the U.S. military-industrial complex with their tax dollars.

There is lots of funding available for raving lunatics and planet wreckers. Maybe under the cover of a nuclear weapons facility they could develop a safe thorium liquid-salt reactor, or a hybrid fission/fusion thorium reactor. Nuclear power is no longer very safe when people in the intelligence agencies and central bank, see them as toys of black-mail and industrial sabotage. The people trying to murder mankind have be given to much power, and are incompetent enough to trigger a mass extinction event with no plan B left for mankind. What starts as a blackmail plot by the Fed could turn into a mass extinction event. We know Fukushima was industrial sabotage by the freaks that brought you Stuxnet.
To them, anything dangerous is their play toy, to screw around with. They think nothing about murdering Nuclear scientists even those apposed to weapons development. It is amazing that such sick minded amoral bastards are on the loose. Government has failed to arrest the criminally insane.
It was only a matter of time before it blew back on America for financing terrorist Nations.
theres NO NEED for a nuclear power plant or producing depleted uranium munitions to poison the earth with. these SOB’s will drill all day-week-month-year for OIL, but they wont drill for geothermal HEAT to make the steam to spin the turbines.. and thats what a nuclear reactor is doing, it is just boiling water to make steam, spending expensive fuel rods that get turned into weapons!

theres a reason theyve become known as the District of Criminals.
One thing that most people do not realize is nuclear weapons do not last indefinitely. These weapons have components that age brutally under the radioactivity the uranium or plutonium emit. If we Americans do not keep up the maintenance of our stockpile and the Russians and Chinese do then we are at serious risk of provoking an attack on our nation should this situation materialize. It is vital our strategic weapons work as advertised.
- most people dont realize Russia and China are owned by the same big bankster SOB’s and its all a geopolitical puppetshow making money from the business of fear.
  
  dont believe me? when bush-clinton rammed NAFTA-GATT through on a baton pass without a vote, all her majesty’s corporate nicknames moved to China ASAP, some on corporate welfare grants so we got made to PAY for being left unemployed, then they went taking loans from the China they pumped up and handed US the bill for that too, funding a police state control grid against US.
  
  there isnt a damn thing strategic about nuclear weapons that can completely blow the atmosphere off the planet 50x over.
  - Sure there was a mass exodus of jobs and technology to China due to NAFTA and the like. It is also quite conceivable there are those that plan to use China to the end of a world government. Most companies just want to save a buck on labor. The main issue is China’s willingness to be a pawn in this system of a theoretical world government. In the end Chinese leaders are using those in the west that plan the concept in order to capture the wealth and technology of their supposed cohorts. The Chinese in the long term loath such an idea and plan to turn against those who empower them with or without a war. We should not send them our weapons along with our factories.
OK, KC residents, you have tried playing nice and found out in short order how corrupt your government is. Time for some good old fashioned civil disobedience, and if that doesn’t work, might I suggest you pick up a copy of ‘The Art of War’.
- Oh yeah try that out and experience martial law…..
