The Australian Labor Party is No Friend of the Nuclear-Free Cause

26 April 2025 Noel Wauchope 7

I’m thinking that the nuclear lobby loves the ALP even more than it loves the Coalition. Advance Australia, and the U.S-controlled Atlas Network are powerful and well-funded groups dedicated to molding public opinion on behalf […]

Be wary of Google Search, especially on nuclear matters

24 April 2025 Noel Wauchope 8

I’ve been meaning for a long time, to write about Google’s very pro-nuclear stance. Then today, I found something that was both amusing and a wake-up call. I have, for the past 16 years, run […]

Is Elon Musk a halfwit?

19 April 2025 Noel Wauchope 5

A silly insult! I hear your cry. Yes, as the Oxford Dictionary defines a “halfwit” as a “foolish or stupid person” And I do agree, it is stupid to call Elon Musk “stupid”. But that’s […]

Donald Trump flounders about on the Ukraine situation

17 April 2025 Noel Wauchope 6

Trump’s previous presidency resulted in huge job losses, a massive increase in the national debt, and global uncertainty about economics. Still, the stock market went up, and the very wealthy got wealthier. His purpose then […]

The irrational optimism of the nuclear power lobby

12 April 2025 Noel Wauchope 5

The LNP Opposition is the prime example of this unfounded optimism. Coalition leader Peter Dutton is full of enthusiasm in his nuclear plan: “Our plan will deliver a net-zero electricity grid by 2050 and a […]

Why can’t Iran have nuclear weapons?

8 April 2025 Noel Wauchope 23

Yes. Shock horror! We can’t have Muslims getting The Bomb, can we? Although, if you look at their philosophy – they might be safer with it than some others are – Ayatollah Khamenei said the […]

Australia’s MUMS FOR NUCLEAR – propaganda wheels within wheels

30 March 2025 Noel Wauchope 12

I’ve only just discovered “Mums for Nuclear” – and they sound just so lovely. They are an Australian offshoot of “Mothers for Nuclear”, which is a very lovely global organisation, full of joy and delight […]

Nuclear power is such a mess – Zaporizhzhia plant as the shining example

23 March 2025 Noel Wauchope 6

You do wonder how the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) can tell us with a straight face, that nuclear power is safe! Nobody talks about Chernobyl any more (melted down 1986), Fukushima (melted down 2011). […]

The “Great Era of Nuclear Decommissioning” begins – well, sort of, even in Australia

20 March 2025 Noel Wauchope 8

Nuclear is big news for Australia. For the coming election, the federal Opposition party – the Liberal-National Coalition, has as its major, indeed, pretty much its only policy – to establish the nuclear power industry at […]

Does the Deep State really exist, and if so, is it being dismantled?

9 March 2025 Noel Wauchope 7

What is the Deep State? Does it really exist? These questions are hard to answer. I had heard the term ‘Deep State’ over many years, and I connected it with all sorts of conspiracies – […]

Ukraine to soon jump back out of the fire and into the frying-pan?

1 March 2025 Noel Wauchope 26

Volodymyr Zelenskyy met Donald Trump and J.D. Vance to work out a peace agreement. One Substack writer commented; “What started as nervous diplomacy ended as a Three Stooges pie-fight,” but as Trump put it, “It […]

Conveniently forgotten and ignored: the 8 years war in Ukraine up to 2022

22 February 2025 Noel Wauchope 32

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYKetrodpoY There’s uproar in the Western media, about Donald Trump wanting to negotiate with Putin, a peace deal in Ukraine. And Trump called Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy a dictator and blamed him for starting the present […]
