Introduction

On Friday the 30^th of October 2020 I decided that I would Take things into my own hands, and start making things happen myself: A weighty decision, but one that I had been considering for some time.

This Website has been under Construction for some years now, and started out as a Statement about Where I was in my state of development of a lifetime Project of Trying to Bring about Peace and Sustainable Clean Living on Earth!... A Tall Order, or Objective for a Six Year Old!... But that’s me!... Crazilly Ambitious!... it started out even before I was Six, actually when My Father was dragging me to school, not quite, as he’d given up on that idea! it was just too noisy!... So he had adopted the plan of leaving me behind. I of course not liking being left behind, followed at a Distance… From memory it was the 2^nd morning of Dad’s attempt to drag me to school; I much preferred the education I was getting from listening closely to the BBC and learning about the Real World, I was already reading and learning to write, and that’s what I wanted to keep doing!... Never mind!... Anyway on the first morning I had noticed the Smell of a Laundry coming from the River Wandle, as we crossed the bridge on Wandsworth High Street; and, on the 2^nd Morning the Wind was blowing strongly and as well as the smell of Soap and Suds, bubbles were coming up over the Parapet… I had caught up with Dad, or he had come back to get me as I’d stopped following him… Heheheheh… and I asked him to lift me up so I could see over the Parapet… We struck a bargain … He would lift me up if I would walk with him to school!... Ok!.. It worked!... I was Disgusted!... The River Wandle was not a River! It was a Concrete Channel and The Water, the River! Was the source of all the smell and The Bubbles!

When we got to the school, St. Joseph’s, and Dad handed me over to Miss McGrath, I started the Day by telling her about what I knew of The River Wandle, and how upset I was!

She was obviously an Influencer and took action herself on the Issue, and The Clean up of The River Thames soon Followed!... I was quite probably not the only one that was concerned, but already London’s Birth Bulge Kids were starting to become effective!... We of course were quite bemused by the adult’s attitude towards Fighting!... I had been taught the rudiments of self defense by Dad, and it was necessary: London was a rough, tough place to grow up in after the 2^nd WW… The only time there were fights was when Bullies were attacking us and we either fought back or had our heads stuffed down Toilet Bowls that were full of the Proverbial!... Fighting for Justice!... Now wasn’t that what the 2^nd WW had been all about?... Bloody hypocritical Adults!...

Ok!... So I’m a Radical!...

Now, today. Following my attempt on Friday to contact the World Federation of Engineering Organisations (WFEO), by checking with Engineers Australia, which I have been a member of since I was a Student in the late 60’s, and progressed to Grad. I.E.Aust in 1975, and Full Chartered Membership, in 1983; it wasn’t called “Chartered” in Those days, not in Australia, anyway; just “Full Membership” and was signified by “M.I.E.Aust.”… I’ll say no more on that issue, other than The Takeover in the Mid to late Eighties by the “Millton Friedman, Maggie Thatcher, Ronald Reagan “Unbridled Capitalist” Global Fraternity Coup” of all Institutions, Governmenys and Others; led to “Grad I.E.Aust” being Upgraded (at least in terms of Post Nominals) to “MIEAust”, and “Full Members” were supposed to apply and automatically get, at that time, the new Post Nominal, “CPEng”…

I had other things going on at that time, I had crossed Swords with BHP, the Australian Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) for whom I was the Regional Engineer for Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory: Quite a  large Area!... Not to Mention The Australian Government!

The Issue was one of National Importance, Ethics and National Economics: The Government under the leadership of Bob Hawke and Paul Keating, along with BHP (BHP was the Major Funder of The AISC), had decided to Run down the Australian Steel Industry, by offshoring the BHP “Rolls” (The Stamps with BHP and Section Sizes that all Manufactures were stamped with) to Offshore Locations, Like Sheffield, England and Taiwan…

As my office was in Victoria; Initially, in order to introduce myself to our Major Funder, BHP. Located in BHP’s Head Office in BHP House, and after that introduction phase was completed, and BHP had approved my Appointment, My Office was relocated to a fully serviced one on St. Kilda Road, not far from John Connels and BP’s Head Offices. I was also appointed as Secretary for The AISC, which meant setting the Agenda for The Monthly Meetings; either in BHP House or Occasionally as a Treat, in the BHP Box in The Grandstand of The MCG, where we would combine the Monthly AISC Meeting of Major Steel Manufacturers. And Steel Fabricators, with a Major Cricket or Aussie Rules Game, along with a Full Course Si;ver Service Meal and a Good Vintage wine!... Ah!... The Good Life!

Being in such a position as Secretary, I brought up, regularly. The Topic of Running Down Australias Steel Production. Outside the meetings; it was amazing to me that everyone agrees with me that it was a bad move!... However, I did bring it up a couple of times within the meeting, off the record but could not get a single representative to agree to putting the Issue on record.

Finally after looking at myself in the Mirror in self appraisal one morning, I decided that I didn’t like what I was seeing, in about 9 Months I had put on nearly 4 Stone (25kg), I weighed in at 15 Stone 7 pounds i.e 98.4 kg. Ah!... The Good life!...

I decided I was not in line with my Life Project and not doing The Right Thing for my Country or The Workers, it was time to behave more Ethically and with more Integrity!

That day I decided that the Item would be put on The Record under “Any Other Matters”… It was; I wrote up the Minutes and They were Distributed to all Members around the Country!

The Following Morning I had a Phone call from The AISC CEO in Sydney Telling me to Withdraw The Minutes… I asked how that would be Possible? … I complied!...

On The Monday Following I was “Terminated”… Ah! The Good Life!...

The Reasson I mention this Here on This Page, is that following my Phone Call to EA (Engineers Australia) Re: Contacts within EA for the WFEO… I got the Information which came from The WFEO Website.

On Monday the 2^nd of November I rang the Number Given to talk to either Marlene Kanga, or Chris Champion… The phone Number was Incorrect… I spoke to Deniss, who gave me the Switch Number which I recognized as the Phone number for EA Head office in Canberra whom I had Spoken to on Friday!...

I rang the Number and after much persuasion, because the secretary I spoke with refused for some reason of Privacy to give me the Numbers for the Representatives of WFEO in Australia, Their Head Office is in Paris, France; after saying that I could not Understand That Logic I eventually Got The Number for Bronwyn Evans, our EA CEO, or at least for her Secretary, who wasn’t there and I left a message, I hadn’t received a call back so later that day I left another Message, after still not getting a response I rang Paris, and explained the difficulty, Keogh (?) said he would try and get the new number for me…

The Following Morning, Tuesday the 3^rd of November, I got a call from Bronwyn’s secretary who asked me to send her an email giving the Web Address of my website and that she would then pass it on to Chris Champion. 

By this stage I had done my Own Search on Google for Information about Marlene Kanga and Chris Champion. I then knew why their names were slightly Familiar to Me, they were both Members of EA; Bronwyn had been CEO in 2013 when I had first moved up to Thailand and Chris Champion is EA’s National President & Chair of the Board…

Bronwyn is actually the New President of the WFEO!..

Strange that no one had mentioned those facts to me… Either they didn’t know or they didn’t want me to know!.. Wow!

Yesterday Morning the 4^th of November I received another Email from EA inviting me to give a presentation at the IPEC Congress Meeting in Brisbane next Year from the 26^th to the 28^th of May!...

IPEC stands for Integrated Project Engineering Congress… The only problem is that the Invite is calling for an Abstract by the 6^th of November 2020… It is now the 5^th of November at 2 am in the morning... (Gunpowder, Treason & Plot!)… I wonder if that is Significant? Lol…

I will see what I can do…

My presentation will  be about “IPE” and what it has meant for the Organisation of This Project for The Global Co-Ordination of The Stage 3 Development of The Thorium – LFTR.

The Presentation will cover all the Trials and Tribulations associated with the Raising of Capital to Fund The Project, The contacting and solicitation of all the Various Bodies associated with all the Various Disciplines that are involved with This Project viz. Nuclear Physics, Nuclear Chemistry, Nuclear Materials Research, Civil, Structural, Piping, Process and Cost Engineers, Construction, Planning and the myriad Other Disciplines that are Involved from each Nation that chooses to contribute to the Co-Ordinated Research Engineer Plan Design and Construct the SMR Production Line Manufacture, Ship, Transport Install, Commission, Run and Refuel, as Required, These Small Modular Reactors that Will Power the Replacement of Fossil Fueled Energy for Industrial, Commercial, Residential, Transport and Water De-Salination for both human Consumption, agricultural and Environmental River Replenishment Flows, as well as CO2 removal from the Atmosphere and Power Supply for the Production of Hydrodgen and Other Clean Non Green House Gas emitting Fuels.

Prologue to Australian Progress

Before going into the progress that is being made in Australia with the Thorium – LFTR, we will first look at the State of Play in the USA, at this point in time, being November 2020, just before The end of Vote Counting in The USA Trump Vs Biden Election.

The Reason we are doing this is because Australia is a Toung Growing Nation, That is just realizing that Off-Shoring its previously established and well Functioning Defense Industries, Steel Production, Heavy Primary Industrial Manufactures, light Primary Nuts and Bolts and Washers etc., Secondary Industry White Goods, Clothing Industry, Electronics Components and Audio Visual (TV’s, Radios, Stereos etc.) and placing a Reliance on The Primary Agricultural Sector and Primary Mining and Export… The Latter of course, as the developing Nations progress they grow more of their own food, and mine their own Minerals, thus recucing the demand (and Value of Australias sole Remaining source of Wealth. Australia Needs to start bringing its Indusries back home, for security reasons, and for the ability to recognize and evaluate what The Future expanding Demand for Clean Green Non-Green House Gas Producing Power or Energy resources will be relative to the population size.

Even using The USA’s Statistical Data is not going to create the correct figure for that Energy Demand, because they too succumbed to The Greedy use of International Dlave Trade, organized by deliberately establishing Rough Parity of wage Labor Rates between Trading Nations or States!...

The USA has, however hung on to much more of its Primary and Secondary Manufacturing Industries Than Australia; so it does at least Point us in The Right Direction.
