IMHO

Radiation, which naturally only comes to us from space, largely deflected by the earth's magnetic field, has been generated by us humans within the magnetic field for the past 70 years.

Nuclear power plants irradiate us every day, neutrinos, anti-neutrons and probably all sorts of other particles that we haven't even heard of, pelt us 24/7.

"How can the increasing cancer rate with the increasing proximity to a nuclear power plant be explained?" Such questions could possibly be answered in this way.

So I would love the results of this one NeutrinoMeasurements are of interest, but it is unlikely that the Americans or the Chinese will consider us civilians worthy enough to learn such truths.

Fortunately, there is still that CONUS experiment of the Max Planck Institute at the nuclear reactor in Brokdorf ...

The realm of death: billions in profits and "cool military commanders"

Why the war in Afghanistan was 'not a failure'

The war has a parallel world that is only sporadically illuminated. The defeat of the Western military operation in Afghanistan has just made the US media more willing to take a closer look at the profitable side.

The relatively young US think tank Responsible Statecraft, which - at least so far - has spoken out against military intervention, has taken on the profits of the five largest arms manufacturers in the USA.

lobbying and profits

The bottom line is in the report's title: "Top Defense Companies Spend $2001 Billion Lobbying During Afghanistan War, Receive $2021 Trillion in Contracts." Between 2,02 and XNUMX, the US Congress awarded $XNUMX trillion in contracts to the five largest US arms manufacturers - Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Boeing and Northrop Grumman, it is claimed...

STN Atlas Elektronik GmbH and Rheinmetall - export business

From 2013 to 2017, the Bremen public prosecutor's office conducted an investigation against managers of Atlas Elektronik and the armaments company Rheinmetall on suspicion of paying nine million euros in bribes to Greek politicians and officials to stimulate the sale of submarine equipment to Greece. Atlas reported the suspicion himself.

In January 2014, the former Greece representative of Atlas, Panagiotis Efstathiou, testified to the public prosecutor that he had bribed the military and officials of the Greek Ministry of Defense with several million euros, with the knowledge of the executive floor. In a search warrant of the Bremen District Court, it says: "As early as 1999, the then STN Atlas Elektronik GmbH had asked the top management about handling unusually high commission payments to the 'cooperation partner' of a Greek commercial agent." Former manager Ulrich Grillo, BDI president since 2013, said the corresponding internal letter was written a month before he joined the company.

The process ended in a settlement. Atlas Elektronik paid around 48 million euros to the state treasury, so that the company's profits are siphoned off from corruption-based deals in Greece and Peru. In return, the investigations into the company on suspicion of bribery and corruption were discontinued.
