Nationally, we’ve got a government that won’t release the Epstein Files. They won’t name the wealthy pedophiles, much less prosecute them.
Who are they? Are they still in office? Sitting in the rooms where laws get made? And the question that gnaws me the most…could any be living right here in Virginia or in YOUR state?
That’s not paranoia. That’s common sense in a country where the rich and connected slip past justice while ordinary people don’t.
And while that’s hanging over us, here in my neck of the woods in Southwest Virginia, politicians want to park SMRs…small modular nuclear reactors…near our children.
Let me say it again: nuclear reactors, near our children.
My people have been in the Coalfields for five generations. My great-grandmother’s people, fresh from southern Scotland and northern Wales, had a saying: Never trust a politician or a stranger.
When I hear them swear SMRs are “completely safe,” no danger from nuclear waste or radiation, I hear her voice plain as day. These same politicians, taking campaign donations from energy corporations, tell us: Trust us with your children. Look at these studies done by strangers. Trust them with your children.
