Vigils in Münsterland and Hamm on March 11th, the Fukushima anniversary
Sun and rain, wind and weather, there was a bit of everything, between 15 and 50 participants per location, I think it's good.
During our Sunday walks at THTR we had an average of 1986 participants and 10 police cars with 3 people on site until the end of April 6. From the beginning of May up to 800 demonstrators and countless police officers came.
So, things are moving forward, the climate is getting warmer and there are plenty of appointments:
Mar. 28, 1979 - Three Mile Island, Harrisburg, USA
Apr. 26, 1986 - Chernobyl, Ukraine, USSR
and many more.

The nuclear lobby
What does "radioactive radiation" mean?
The atomic lobby is made up of organizations, corporations and people from politics, business, research and the media who support and promote the use of atomic energy for political and economic reasons and / or often also out of personal convictions.

Thilo Bode headlined the glyphosate scandal 2017 in the newspaper for German and international politics, in the October 2018 issue: "Lobbyism 2.0: The industrial-political complex." ...

Military-industrial complex
The term gained popularity through the US President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who in his farewell speech on January 17, 1961 expressly warned against the entanglements and influences of the military-industrial complex in the USA. Eisenhower, who himself had once been Chief of Staff of the Army, like Mills saw the military-industrial complex as a danger to democratic institutions and democracy. Through the effect of this complex on jobs and economic power, the political leadership could be induced to want to resolve conflicts more militarily than politically and thus act as an extended arm of the armaments industry lobby ...
