  • Bushnell did post things online. His facebook is https://www.facebook.com/aaron.bushnell.94, but from what I can tell his final message (“Many of us like to ask ourselves, ‘What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?’ The answer is, you’re doing it. Right now.”) is deleted.

    There are several Bushnell quotes scattered throughout, like “be complicit in genocide”, from some of his last spoken words: “My name is Aaron Bushnell, I am an active-duty member of the United States Air Force and I will no longer be complicit in genocide”. And when it says “No, he clearly stated” in the article, what follows is a quote directly from the mouth of Bushnell. Bushnell had an active Twitch channel, in which he among other things streamed his self-immolation, and during that he says a number of things, like “I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonisers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”






  • From your source 1:

    “large quantities of uranium and thorium and other radioactive species in coal ash are not being treated as radioactive waste. These products emit low-level radiation, but because of regulatory differences, coal-fired power plants are allowed to release quantities of radioactive material that would provoke enormous public outcry if such amounts were released from nuclear facilities.”

    “the population effective dose equivalent from coal plants is 100 times that from nuclear plants”

    “For the complete nuclear fuel cycle, from mining to reactor operation to waste disposal, the radiation dose is cited as 136 person-rem/year” while it “amounts to 490 person-rem/year for coal plants”.

    We at least have temporary storage for spent nuclear fuel, we have no such protection with coal plants.
