BENNY ZABLE, & THE FAKE "REVOLUTION"


Remy Crapolier and Sherwood Fartnsmelly are so isolated from the real people of the Hudson Valley that they misread everything into which they come in contact. There is no intimidation of local people to accept Indian Point. Everybody wants to work there. Those who don't work there maintain independent service businesses, caterers, gardeners, carpenters, all the skilled trades, fabrication shops, electrical suppliers- you name it - the list of people doing business with Indian Point is long, long, indeed, and the relationships are cordial. Those who neither work or trade with Indian Point, appreciate the steady uplift the plant creates. Electricity, yes. The power is always there, without soot, noise or insult, and the Indian Point staff are family people, raising kids, leading cub scout packs, coaching baseball teams, volunteering as EMT's & firemen. This is America. These are our neighbors, and I myself have lived right here for 6 decades. My father lived right here for 9 decades. That's 15 cumulative decades.

When will these two oddballs wake up, that it is THEM who have a problem. (If indeed there is any problem at all). Several disinterested observers have noted that both of these guys avoid the standard environmental activist groups, because basically, they are hyping themselves, and joining Riverkeeper would just make them anonymous. ( I have been a dues paying member of both Riverkeeper and Scenic Hudson for 20 years).They are antinuke wannabes , to the Nth degree, and nothing more. They want Myspace seduction victims to send them $100 each (they have already asked for it).

Crapolier, born in France, living off his Mom's inheritance, in her house in Weston Connecticut (he's 57...she's still alive) has never worked, as most Americans know the meaning of that word. He has skated for almost 60 years off of Mom's indulgence, sells marijuana over the web (as "Hemp Protein"), does S&M bondage photography, has no children, and has never been married. Is this the avatar, the spokesman, the leader that "Poor Slumbering Peekskill" wants.... to lead them to "Liberty"? You decide. This fruitball freak belongs nowhere, and not in Peekskill, either.

Fartnsmelly has a similar domestic case. He is 52, does not work, never had any children, and is supported by a wife who works at Bronx Community College. Daughter of a noted Italian-American sculptor, she remains a respected person, despite her bad choice in granting Sherwood her family name (He took her name when they married). Observers have noted that if any bad debts or arrest warrants were out there , seeking Sherwood, that he has attained maximum cover via his kindly (but much demeaned) wife.

Whatever fruity bullshit Crapolier writes, he opposes everything that Peekskillers want, and he is out of it. Neither of these birds is important enough to worry about, I just watch them from afar, to keep them honest.... kind of like keeping a cockroach farm in a glass jar. I don't even need raid.... in the end, they will eat each other.

Remy, you foreign-born space-cadet liar!
In 2006 you photographed Betcee May across the river, at Thompkin's Cove. You were NEVER near Indian Point (I have the picture right here). Betcee May now calls you a freak, and hates your guts. Why?

"Hundreds of Union Members Standing guard around Peekskill making sure nobody gets out of line"? Are you daft? If an S&M photographer visits my town, YES, I want to know it. Your posters disappeared? Ever think they were offensive to the people whose town you were visiting? Nobody stands guard, but maybe somebody should, if you intend to come around offering our kids "Hemp Powder Supplements" (Pot).

Shame on YOU Remy, for never working, for never marrying, for ripping off Native American Pow Wows as antinuke protest venues (I myself have worked dozens of Pow Wows as a musician..... While there, I paid attention to tribal realities..... not my own.)

Alice Slater, the grants distribution executive behind Benny Zable, and his 12,000 mile trip here, has Helaine Heilbrunn Lerner's $265 million dollar Tamarind Foundation paying fake revolutionaries like you to storm around the east coast and pretend there is an antinuke movement (there is not). There is just Alice Slater's fake "Women in Pink", her fake "Benny Zable", and NOW it seems, her fake Remy Crapolier.

Nobody is listening. Nobody cares. Be glad the Peekskill people are so magnanimous, that no harm came to your little freak show. Some of the teenagers along Park Street don't like sexually odd strangers hanging out. They might just razz you. (Wasn't Sherwood's arm broken, at the Paramount theater, by Grateful dead fans)?

One item of note, though: In a desperate effort to simulate an antinuke movement, Alice Slater was forced this time, to reach half way around the planet and import the Australian anarchist Benny Zable, because nobody local wanted the job.

There IS no antinuke movement, and that's what Sherwood and Remy complain about, ad nauseam. If there was an antinuke movement, they could have settled down long ago into collecting $5 here, $20 there, and been on their merry way. But its just the two of 'em. (and maybe a dozen other old communist leftovers like octagenarian Connie Hogarth, or maybe Kevin & Pam Timmons...350 Funk Rd, Schodack Landing NY, ...518-732-1248).

I guess, if Remy's Mom says yes. and Sherwood's wife agrees, ... they can collect from each other., (or Trustco Bank) and finally find happiness.

I think that's what they actually do.

IS PORKIE A CAVEMAN?



Is it possible to be so isolated, so eccentric, and have such a unique view of reality, that the sum effect is tantamount to living as a caveman? Can the scanning of dense indecipherable documents by a caveman bring any useful results? Just because a caveman stays at a Holiday Inn one night (in the dumpster, of course), does that make him suddenly NOT the only Neanderthal in town? Is a "Quest For Fire" a smart thing, when everybody else has electric heating?

Had the engineering world remained stuck in a 1979 time warp, much of what Porgie Tirebiter writes about EPRI research into aging management might seem to an outsider to be true. However, what is NOT contained in any report, is the difference in methodology, a rennaissance of ways and means, that has taken place since the current array of nuclear power plants was designed and built.

Prior to the general, routine use of computer calculation to model engineering problems, the community of responsible engineers faced a large problem of calculability. Its a tough word CALCULABILITY. Sliderules, and small hand calculators were the only tools available before the 1983 introduction of the PC, and Lotus123. Large problems, such as designing buildings, were thought to be not calculable, to any precision.

Actually, they could have been precisely modeled, but the time required would have meant either years of repeat calcs, each time changing the input a little, or else whole gymnasiums full of willing engineers, each one doing a slightly different math run. To do business, to get results in a timely fashion, so that a profit could be made, and safe buildings could be built in months, instead of in decades, required a different tactic.

The tactic used, was the limiting case.(By another, less attractive name, it has also been called the "worst case scenario".) The limiting case was used in tandem with the "safety factor" in a specific way, to intentionally overbuild everything, just to be sure. Not knowing exactly where a concrete dome would fail, engineers calculated the strength they thought would be required at its worst case, and then multiplied their result by five (the safety factor), and the dome was built accordingly.

The fleet of 104 American nuclear plants is therefore built much stronger than it needs to be, in fact. It is also much stronger than it needs to be in every detail, because every detail, such as thickness of a pipe, the amount of rebar in a concrete wall, the number of anchors holding a support to the rock, etc., was calculated by the same obsolete intentional overkill.

Intentional overkill was the best tool they had, back then.

But not now.

What Porgie sees as a vast evil conspiracy to allow failure (and cover it up) is not that at all.Porgie assumes everything done by any corporation is evil, and he assumes that everything either done, or not done, by NRC is a failure to live up to something. However, he forgets that the 104 plant owners, and the NRC do not exist to educate Porgie in Engineering realities, but to serve the public.

EPRI research is done to discover, with modern precision, just how strong the plants really are. Yes, it is calculated at each plant, because each plant IS different. Yes, there is no overall program of making results known to the public, because it is ongoing, it is vastly complicated, it is funded by individual plant owners, and thus too huge an information store for Porgie (or any other civilian) to understand. What Porgie sees as an NRC "conspiracy" to "hide" the facts of plant aging from activists, is simply the collection of 104 sets of separate results, and the conscientious use of those results to individually manage the individual plants. No plant owner wants any failures. Each plant owner wants a viable long-lived asset, to provide his paid service to the communities of customers thirsting for power.

Porgie not only omits any consideration of the 80% of the public who are not offended by the plants (like he is), but he omits any consideration of the 100% of the public who are using their services right now.

Are you willing to pay your electic bill, so you can have modern civilization? Of course you are. This is not some sleazy "conspiracy", it is the civil compact of our very society. Porgie misreads this banal cooperation, as some dark plot to confuse activists, hermits, and those "illuminati" who "realize" that its better to live in a cave, than to allow humankind to utilize the power in the atomic nucleus.

From that eccentric's, hermit's, caveman's point of view, I guess that yes, it may be a plot. Sorry, Porg!

Remy Crapolier, Inveterate Loser ?




BGA is a standard non-nuclear engineering firm with a long, well established relationship with (C E), drawing blueprints, and they only ever worked at (IP)as a (CE)blueprint contractor, doing menial drafting work, and did no (N) work at all. When (En) bought (IP), the synergy between BGA & (CE) meant that BGA more or less ceased doing any work at (IP). (September 2001).

So, to call BGA "nuclear" is not only wrong on facts, its just one more instance of RemyCrapolier straining to make everything fit his latest cracked promotional ideas, and cover up his own personal oddities, unsuitability, and foulups once again.

What normal people in the public domain see, is an unmarried 57 year old eccentric, unable to get along with Betcee May, unable to get along with Summer Raine Oaks, and most likely unable to get along in a natural way , with any woman at all. (unless she's in Dominatrix drag, and whipping him).

In point of fact, within the "Green Explosion" that's big right now,
a mamasboy / Geriatric / Gurdjieff-cult / Sado-masochistic / anti-nooklear /
UFO-chasing / Pro-marijuana / French-Born Native American activism is a decidedly fringe phenomenon, obviously bonkers, and liable to be left out of the running no matter who ever hires Betcee May, BGA, or Ms. Oaks.

Oh, and by the way, in 2006, the extra-terrestrial Redman Remy wrote: "The other day I woke up and decided to save the world, by coming out against Indian Point". So what's this "Long Term Antinuclear Stance" you're talking about? It's one year old, pal. When your bogus "Enviro Library" fizzled in 2005, and the Tiki nights dried up in 2006, you sought a new promotion, and (IP) was it. That makes you nothing more than an opportunist manque. And Stacy Fine now owns your concert idea. Nice going!

Tell your unemployed friend Steve Fuller I said hi.
