Stop The Robo Taxis/Disney Dystopia & Newsom Democratic Party Corruption At CPUC
CPUC will be voting on Google Waymo & GM Cruise robo taxis Thursday!
The California Public Utility Commission which is hand picked by Governor Gavin Newsom will be voting on whether to allow the Google Waymo and GM Cruise robo taxis to operate 24 hours a day in San Francisco.
The city which is ground central for capitalist AI developmenet has become a Disney Distopia with these vehicles stopping in the middle of streets and blocking the emergency services. Even the Fire Chief has said that a catastrophe will be coming with these vehicles on thee road.
Newsom like former Governor Brown allow the crooks and billionaires to run this agency. Brown kept corrupt CPUC chair Michael Peevey even though he was taking money from PG&E and was responsible
for helping them cover up their murderous crimes
Goldman Sacks says 350 million workers will lose their jobs because of capitalist control of AI.

Cesium 180 times limit found in fish at Fukushima nuke plant 12 years after disaster
https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20230718/p2a/00m/0na/019000c
The Japanese government led by Prime Minister Kishida is moving ahead to dump more than 1.3 million tons of radioacive water into the Pacific ocean at Fukushima. More than 12 years after the meltdown of 3 nuclear reactors the melted rods have still not been removed and must be cooled with water which then becomes contaminated with tritium.
Despite protest from people from the Pacific rim and throughout the world and the fisherman and people of Fukushima this government doesn’t give a damn.
It is time to let the Japanese government that the people of the United States are opposed to this massive release of this contaminated water and don’t believe the propaganda of the government and TEPCO that this is not a threat to all the people in the Pacific rim.
The government is also opening up more nuclear plants and wants to expand US nuclear bases including in Okinawa and develop nuclear weapons and spending for the war machine that is threatening a war in Asia that would kill millions of people throughout the region.
Join us and speak out to stop this madness and threat to our world.

We fight against spy drones, facial recognition, tracking equipment, police body camera secrecy, anti-transparency laws and requirements for “backdoors” to cellphones; we oppose “pre-crime” and “thought-crime,” — to list just a few invasions of our privacy by all levels of Government, and attempts to hide what government officials, employees and agencies are doing.
