Right wing commentators, Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh are suggesting that the catastrophe that has hit Japan is gods payback for one reason or another. Beck said that the quake was a "message from god" because humanity is heading in the wrong direction. The other millionaire, Rush Limbaugh says that the devastation is payback because god hates recycling and electric cars.
Any worker that listens to these racist nutcases need to consider their own mental health. What is wrong with their thought processes? Here is a suggestion for them. First, the earthquake and tsunami are easily explainable through science. But so is the subsequent devastation. Wikileaks released cables has revealed all sorts of cover ups and lies about the construction and safety of these reactors on the part of the private corporations that own the industry and the Japanese government that serves their interests.
We have explained repeatedly on this blog that capitalist is the cause. Who decides to build them. Who decides where they're built? It's not workers. These decisions are made in the boardroom of corporations and they are made by private individuals who profit from the industry and who will do anything to protect those profits. They will lie, steal and knowingly put at risk thousands even millions of lives and the environment in which we live. None of the owners of the corporations live near these plants and it is workers who will surely die that are trying to contain the damage that the decisions of the billionaries is threatening. (see other blogs from the last few days)
Not only should Limbaugh and Beck be blacklisted and fired for their disgusting comments. They should be made to live next to the nuclear plants here int he US. And as for those backward workers that listen to them, we urge you to consider why these heroes of yours would say such things. Whose interests does it serve; the corporations and capitalism or workers and the middle class? For those of you still capable we ask you to consider your thought processes and try to get them on track. For those that still spout these nutcases' vicious rhetoric we should isolate them socially and in the workplace.
