DESCRIPTION:5/7 SF Rally: Stop Nuke Plants  In Japan And The World-End The Japan  
 Government/TEPCO Cover-Up\nSolidarity With Our Japanese Brothers And 
 Sisters on The 25th Anniversary of Chernobyl \n\nSaturday May 7, 2011 11:00 
 AM Rally-Protest\nJapanese Consulate 50 Fremont St./Mission St.\nSan 
 Francisco\n\nOn May 7, 2011 thousands of Japanese workers, farmers and 
 people will be protesting the continued use\nof nuclear power in Japan and 
 the information cover-up on the nuclear disaster by the Japanese government 
 in collusion with Tokyo Electric Power Company TEPCO.\nThe government has 
 flagrantly manipulated public safety standards for radioactive 
 contamination from week to week\nin order to prevent public outrage and 
 activism about this threat to the people of Japan and the world.\nThe US 
 government in fact, was directly responsible for organizing a political 
 campaign to force the Japanese people to accept these dangerous nuclear 
 plants. They orchestrated a massive propaganda campaign and managed this 
 corporate scheme to sell GE nuclear plants.\nJapan Nuclear Catastrophe Made 
 In USA-From Hiroshima to Fukushima, 1945-2011: A Nuclear Narrative of 
 Hubris and 
 Tragedy\nhttp://www.veteranstoday.com/2011/03/28/from-hiroshima-to-fukushima-1945-2011/\nBoth 
 the Japanese government and TEPCO were warned in 2004 in the Japan Times 
 article by Leuren Moret that there would be a massive disaster due to the 
 location of these plants.\nJapan's deadly game of nuclear 
 roulette\nhttp://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fl20040523x2.html\nDespite 
 these public warnings the Japanese government,TEPCO executives and US 
 corporations profiting from these plants ignored these warnings and 
 continued to operate the plants including Fukushima putting the Japanese 
 people and the people of the world in danger. This was a man made disaster 
 for greater profits driven by both Japanese and US corporations.\nThese 
 conditions are also present in the US within the nuclear industry including 
 the  PG&E San Louis Obispo plant and the Obama administration continues to 
 support tax\nsubsidies and licensing of new plants. They have also covered 
 up the release of toxics at the locked out Honeywell nuclear processing 
 plant in Metropolis, Illinois. The government has allowed scabs to be 
 brought in by manipulating the testing and this plant is a danger to the 
 workers and the 
 public.\nwww.inthesetimes.com/working/entry/7108/honeywells_guilty_plea_shows_importance_of_unions_in_prevent_radioacti/\nObama 
 and the nuclear industry with the support of the AFL-CIO continues to push 
 "safe" nuclear power. As we now know from this world disaster at Fukushima 
 there is no "safe" nuclear power and we must shift to safe alternative 
 energy such as wind, solar and more efficiency\nin the use of nuclear 
 power. This is also the 25th anniversary of Chernobyl where children, the 
 people and the environment are still suffering from contamination from the 
 meltdown.\nThe use of nuclear plants, nuclear weapons including depleted 
 uranium bombs must be eliminated and only the people can make this 
 happen.\n\nInitial List Of Speakers:\nLeuren Moret, Geoscientist\nCharles
