Published: Nov. 21, 2012, 6:21 a.m.

Interview w/Marius Paul and Candyce Paul of Committee for Future Generations in Saskatchewan discuss their ancestral warnings against touching "black stone" (uranium), the impact of 12 uranium mines on the health of their people, the politics of poverty in guaranteeing the nuke interests always win, and the genocidal dangers of building Canada's proposed nuclear waste repository on their ancestral homelands. Plus: NRC, SCE duck the public and their responsibility for safety re: San Onofre while preparing to restart one reactor w/o any safety tests ; Fukushima clean-up now estimated to cost 10 TRILLION yen ($125.6 billion US$); Japan ships radioactive apples to Thailand; and Russia (RUSSIA?!?) tests imports for radioactivity and sent 316 shipments back to Japan - but the US doesn't even bother to check. AAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!
