JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

The "Mendacity Club," TVA's song and dance show with its cast of conservative socialists, the building of the fascist state in the United States of America.

"There ain't nothin' more powerful than the odor of mendacity!" 'Big Daddy' in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof"  "Dealing with a government with whom mendacity is a science is an extremely difficult matter." John Hay, Secretary to President Lincoln


A quote by John Adams: "The true and only real definition of a republic is a government in which all men, rich and poor, magistrates and subjects, officers and people, masters and servants, the first citizen and the last are equally subject to the laws." The government itself, represented by the TVA in this case, is bound by law. Deceitful socialist bureaucracy and propaganda are being utilized to  subvert nuclear safety laws, policies and procedures by the TVA .

Yesterday's TVA board meeting should have been an eye opener for those who were in favor of Bellefonte restarting. Unfortunately, it was not, due to a willingness to accept lies from the TVA for financial motivations. What was exposed was the extent the TVA is willing to perpetuate deceit to build a nuclear power plant. TVA Executives and those who support nuclear power deceit are now members of the newly formed "Mendacity Club." Below are a few highlights of the clubs positions.

Dr. Marilyn Brown, chairperson of the Nuclear Oversight Committee, was elated over her proclamation that nuclear power is "secure, clean and affordable." ( "Secure," but not safe nuclear power.)  That statement of fallacy was repeated many times yesterday at the TVA Board meeting. Another proclamation of Dr. Brown concerned the so called unbiased and independent nuclear oversight committee experts, far from it, as both support the nuclear industry. It seems the college professor has become a developer of TVA propaganda.

Chief Operating Officer Bill McCollum supported and presented the "Mendacity Club's" position. One of his points was that a combined cycle natural gas plant cost nearly the same as finishing the Bellefonte Nuclear Reactor. This was a gross distortion of the facts. Cost to complete Bellefonte, $4.9 Billion, cost of a 800 mega watt combined cycle natural gas plant at Bellefonte with the pipe line, under $2 billion dollars. I'm no supporter of coal, but Bill McCollum's statement that nuclear was less expensive than coal demonstrates the extent of deceit the TVA will make to support their position concerning nuclear power.


McCollum also stated quality assurance systems were maintained during TVA's period of the nuclear plants' cancelled construction permit and subsequent stripping of the plant. McCollum's statements directly conflict with the NRC position on this issue.

The "Mendacity Club's" solution to their financial debacle, increase their debt and form schemes of irresponsibility, sell, lease and/or lease back the defective Bellefonte Nuclear Reactor.

There is a serious downside to TVA's history concerning nuclear power. The TVA and their supporters will utilize any means to support their position concerning nuclear power, including death threats, lies, massive debt, threats of arrest and the utilization of propaganda . Now, the ignoring of obvious safety problems and illegal actions contained within the current Bellefonte construction permit process.

There is a political expose in this process. Many government officials in their unwavering support of TVA's mismanagement and nuclear power have exposed themselves as supporters of deceit, propaganda and socialism as a political and economic government form. The various government officials in supporting TVA's irresponsibility demonstrate irresponsibility themselves in their grab for TVA in lieu of tax money and the false proposition that TVA is the benevolent parent providing jobs when in fact TVA is an abusive government corporate bureaucracy destroying American Regulated Capitalism via irresponsible leadership and mismanagement in a system of socialistic fascism.
(About Fascism in America: Here's a bit of reading in a factual story from an old soldier, Delta Force, Special Forces, and the various aspects of Special Observations and Operations. Suggest you read the story, it should be eye opening. "Sowing the Seeds of Fascism in America" If you wish to learn more here are some articles. http://www.truthdig.com/dig/item/200601003_white_supremacism_sexism_militarism/  and http://news.softpedia.com/news/Fascism-in-America-II-131650.shtml
Lawrence University, Socialism and Fascism are Essentially the Same: http://www.lawrence.edu/sorg/objectivism/socfasc.html  )

The government officials involved do not support good ole American regulated capitalism, they support fascist socialism where the means of production and distribution are owned by the government and built by the multinational corporation at either taxpayer or TVA ratepayer expense. The "socialist corporatocracy" grows, say thank you to our ignorant, socialist supporting government leadership, the trade unions, nuclear lobbyists and the TVA. They have formed a Corporate Socialist Amerika in support of nuclear power and the beginings of the fascist state.

The Bottom Line of TVA and Bellefonte, the song and dance is not over.

Various government officials may have demonstrated they do not support the American ideals of regulated capitalism. However, this fight is not over, the U.S. Court of Appeals, Washington D.C District, will now decide the case of the defective construction permit since the TVA ignored the obvious defects in support of their deceitful financial position and gross mismanagement.
UPDATE: A technical error resulted in loss of the case. Petitioner and their attorneys failed to correct their error. Why is there always an error?

The supporters of nuclear power attempt to suckle at TVA's teats of government deceit and financial irresponsibility at ratepayer expense. The Tennessee River Valley Caucus conservative political representatives have shown their hand, they are only conservative in support to conserve the neu Corporate Socialist Amerika pouring millions of dollars into their political reelection campaigns, not to mention the millions of dollars spent for corporate lobbying.

Meanwhile our electrical rates increase, the TVA, according to their own figures supplied yesterday, ranks 43rd in 100 electrical utility providers for rates to customers.  http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44199002/ns/local_news-chattanooga_tn/

TVA is building a record of anti-American activities by not allowing peaceful protest and by the harrasment of citizens attempting to convey messages and gain an understanding of TVA's actions.
Protest at Knoxville TVA Headquarters.


Previous harrasment by TVA Security in violation of individual rights at Harriman, Tn..

Regarding the allegation that TVA didn't allow peaceful protest, the Knoxville News Sentinel video you linked to seems to prove otherwise. Not only did the protest take place on TVA property, the media provided coverage.

The TVA did not allow peaceful protest on TVA property nor were any of those seen in the video allowed to speak. The video was filmed off of TVA property across the street from TVA. The still shots are pictures of the TVA Police confronting those dressed as Ben Franklin, Santa Claus and an attorney with moulage on his face, all were clearly recognizable and had identification.

The individuals in "costume" or makeup were asked to leave the property. One individual who spoke inside in a suit and tie was physically GRABBED by TVA Security when he stated he was bitten by one of the Zombies, messed up his hair and made growling sounds at the end of his presentation, TVA plain clothes police escorted him out of the building. The officer who grabbed the speaker had no clearly identifiable badge or identification visible.

TVA plain clothes police lined the walls next to where those who spoke against TVA's position in what appeared to be an attempt to intimidate those speaking against TVA's position. At no time did TVA plain clothes police have any identifying badges visible or identification to designate them as Federal Officers.

Nice try at "spin" anonymous poster, but your spin is fallacy.

The apparent purpose of protests is to get attention such that one's opinion is heard. Regardless of what side of the street it took place, the outcome is the same. Your characters - Santa, Ben and the zombie - were successful in achieving your protest objective. Congratuations!

The purpose of the protest was to draw attention to a set of problems which require a solution. 1) TVA's penchant for deceit and downright lies. 2) Nuclear Power is Dangerous. 3) TVA's application of its law enforcement actions at times are tyrannical. Not allowing Benjamin Franklin to speak is a slap in the face of America, even Santa Claus was sent away. The TVA will not allow citizens to make a point of concern but the TVA Board may willingly lie to the public, fine government form.
