Could the Earth Explode?
Tom J. Chalko, MSc, PhD
Imagine a gigantic object of 1220 km radius that slowly becomes smaller, lighter and gives off heat for millions of years. What could it be? It can only be an object that generates heat by nuclear decay.
The main consequence of the above is that all heat generated inside Earth is of radionic origin. In other words, Earth in its entirety can be considered a nuclear reactor fuelled by spontaneous fission of various isotopes in the super-heavy inner core, as well as their daughter products of decay in the mantle and in the crust.
Life on Earth is possible only because of the efficient cooling of this reactor – a process that is controlled primarily by the atmosphere. Currently this cooling is responsible for a fine thermal balance between the heat from the core reactor, the heat from the Sun and the radiation of heat into space, so that the average temperature on Earth is about 13 deg C.
Since the radionic heat is generated in the entire volume of nuclear fuel (the entire Earth) and cooling can occur only at the surface, the hottest point of the planet should be in its very center.
This article examines the possibility of the “meltdown” of the central part of the inner core due to the reduced cooling capacity of the atmosphere, which traps progressively more solar heat due to the so-called greenhouse effect. Factors that can accelerate the meltdown process, such as an increased solar activity coinciding with increased emissions of greenhouse gasses are discussed.
The most serious consequence of such a “meltdown” could be a gravity-buoyancy based segregation of unstable isotopes in the molten inner core. Such a segregation can “enrich” the nuclear fuel in the core to the point of creating conditions for a chain reaction and a gigantic atomic explosion. Can Earth become another “asteroid belt” in the Solar system?
Fighting Civilization
Interview with Derrick Jensen
“The salmon are dying. We’re changing the climate. Earthworm populations in the Midwest are disappearing. I picture people coming 20, 30 years later, after civilization collapses, and they’ll be reading some old book anywhere in this region, up the coast, and they’ll say, “there were so many salmon that people were afraid to put their boats in the water for fear they’d capsize… and I’m fucking starving to death”.
What do you think is going to happen in the next 40 or 50 years ?
“An increase in grinding away at whatever natural and human diversity is left. People will lead increasingly miserable lives, not paying attention as long as they’ve got a television. I think about all of these people who sit in front of their TVs: they might as well be in SHU (isolation unit at Pelican Bay). Their world consists of the space between the couch and the TV. I do not see us having a transformation to a sustainable way of living that is either voluntary or that maintains capitalism or industrialism. I see the next 100 years being pretty nasty, no matter how you look at it.

Russia Finally Prevails in Afghanistan
Robert Fox
On the day that the (Afghanistan) capital was liberated, it was Russian-made T-55 tanks that paraded through the streets of the devastated city.
While the British and Americans have concentrated on providing aerial support for the alliance, Mr Putin has gone out of his way to ensure that Russian military hardware has been available on the ground in Afghanistan.
At least 50 T-55 series tanks and 30 armoured personnel carriers were supplied by the Russians to the alliance a few weeks ago. With them came tons of tank and heavy machine-gun ammunition, spares for tanks and trucks, and fuel and lubricants for tanks and helicopters.
The equipment was accompanied by teams of Russian military advisers and trainers, who are believed to have drawn up the alliance’s rudimentary assault plans for its successful assaults on the towns of Mazar-i-Sharif and Pul-i-Khumri.
There are even reports that some of the leading tanks and attack helicopters may have been crewed by Russian mercenaries.
The Russian advisers were matched by a few dozen United States and British special forces acting as forward aircraft controllers for the American air attacks.
By backing the alliance covertly and overtly, Mr Putin appears to have succeeded where his five predecessors, from Leonid Brezhnev to Boris Yeltsin, failed in establishing Moscow’s influence across Afghanistan – and all this without a Russian life lost.
