1979 Our government has been hacking at a shadow world government run by a bank forever. Carter signed the Trilateral Commission in England before he was inaugurated. It is still going on. Three Mile Island and they still do not know what to do with spent nuclear rods. The war in Afganistan is still going on only it is us, not Russia. Remember the gas lines? I do. Roe v. Wade buried America in "rights", Atheism had removed the Person of God from the public, babies died, the economy tanked and people lost big on the stock market in the early eighties. Jim Henson will always be big at the theatre. As far as William Shatner, didn't he play a cop or something…he just wasn't svelt. What goes around comes around, only it picks up speed. Here we go again. Thank God for God.

Three Mile Island had nothing to do with spent rods (it had to do with the water-coolant system). The Trilateral Commission is an economics think-tank, not a bank, and it has no more actual power than the Cato Institute, no matter what Carter signed. Noam Chomsky is not highly regarded as a geopolitical observer, and that second one originates with him.

Except for Alabama playing for a National Championship, I'd say you were right on.

@Sophia's Favorite:
How does that change the trajectory of our culture? It does not change the fact that America is facing a one world government under a world bank instead of under God. What Carter did was sign away America's sovereignty-treason. The water cooling system was to cool the vats of nuclear rods nobody knows what to do with. Glassify them and shoot them into outer space so that when man gets into outer space, the nuclear waste will be waiting for him.(bad, really bad joke, but not so far from the truth) "Noam Chomsky is not highly regarded as a geopolitical observer, and that second one originates with him." If Chomsky is not highly regarded, why is his concept floated as the way to go??? Is America so destitute of creativity, originality and vision that she must submit herself to what is beneath her dignity, what is beneath LIBERTY WALKING? Thank you for your most informative post. I did not know much of what you told.

Just said a prayer for Sophia's Favorite.

Sling your b.s. back and forth all you want but the worst hypocrisy, as I see it, (which is just another way of saying it's just my opinion, let's not forget) is when anonymous said in a sarcastic tone that they said a prayer for "Sophia's Favorite." Anonymous may come back any say he/she was actually being serious, if that is the case then I am truly sorry for him/her. At what point is it alright to use God as a weapon for an opinionated argument? There is no way to prove who was highly regarded because that is an impossible answer. The same can be said for every single point aside from dates. My point is, no one can ever truly know for sure what will save the world and what will ruin it. It's a nice thought that we can come up with a full-proof system but we know that will never work and there will always be someone who has it worse than another. It's alright to argue your point, you have the right to free speech and you certainly have the right to try to fix the world, but you will never be able to speak for God. I don't think Anonymous tried to do that exactly, but throwing out a prayer as an insult to another person is wrong. There's no way to justify thinking that someone needs to know that you think so low of their opinion on a matter, that you will pray for God to show them how wrong you are. You can't possibly know that God thinks you are correct in a political matter, don't act like it. That is if you actually call yourselves Christians. -Phil K

Carter cannot sign away American sovereignty to a think-tank with no political authority whatsoever. America is most certainly not under a one-world government—do you, does anyone, actually consider the UN a government?—and as for the World Bank and IMF, their power is mostly in their own minds. They have the power to do great harm to poor countries, but first-world nations like the US have enough economic clout to get their way with those institutions. For now, anyway.
And seriously, you don't know how a nuclear reactor works. The only rods that were relevant to Three Mile Island were the control rods; the rods involved in waste are fuel rods (admittedly, the first layer insulation on the 3MI reactor's fuel rods did get damaged, but the uranium was contained by the second layer of insulation). 3MI and nuclear waste have no direct bearing on one another, anymore than a car accident and the debate over fossil fuels do.
As for astronauts and nuclear waste, waste from piddling little fission reactors is significantly less radioactive than the ambient conditions of space. If we ever go out there on a significant scale, fission wastes will be office lighting compared to the engines we use (the bare minimum of a decent space engine is a NERVA rocket, which uses a fission reactor, not unlike that of a nuclear submarine, to heat hydrogen into a plasma; a much better idea is an Orion rocket…fueled by thermonuclear bombs).
Finally, I was referring to the Jimmy Carter/Trilateral Commission conspiracy theory as originating with Chomsky. His concepts aren't "floated as the way to go" by anybody, except for a few of his linguistics concepts; the man is a Holocaust denying Jew, for crying out loud!

@Anonymous 10:13 My prayer was in appreciation. Your indictment of my guilelessness is very telling and now look what you have done.
@Sophia's Favorite: You are telling me that America did not surrender her sovereignty to become part of a one world government under the world bank? You are also telling me that America would not become part of a world government, given the opportunity? That Chomsky is a Holocaust denier proves of his unreliability. You are telling me that used nuclear fuel rods are not a problem?

The Packers won the Superbowl in 2011: why has this not been corrected?

You have a real problem with reading comprehension. Chomsky being a Holocaust denier does indeed prove his unreliability: so why are you regurgitating his tinfoil-hat conspiracy theories about Carter and the Trilateral Commission? Chomsky was a critic of the Trilateral Commission, in precisely the terms that you are; I don't know how much clearer I could've made that.
America already is the closest thing to a world government, both for good and ill, and it's other people's sovereignty that might have a problem with that, not ours. We most certainly have not surrendered our sovereignty to a one-world government under the world bank, because the world bank all too often bases its decisions on the economic advantage of us and the other first-world countries. Admittedly more Europe than us, lately.
And nuclear waste is a comparatively minor problem, along the lines of ozone depletion—we have systems in place to cope with it, though a few things could probably stand to be tightened up. The people making the loudest noise about it, however, are ecology-totalitarians who don't want us to have any decent power generation, because they hate civilization and the human race. Nuclear power is far better than coal.
Nevertheless, your attempt to claim a connection between 3 Mile Island and nuclear waste is spurious, just as spurious as attempting to claim that car accidents are an argument against the internal combustion engine. 3MI had nothing whatsoever to do with nuclear waste. Your vague emotional associations do not constitute logical arguments.

The real conspiracy here is that the Green Bay Packers won the superbowl in 2011, yet it has not been corrected.
Nevertheless, attempt to "comprehension" that.
