The first part of my latest story for IdaHome Magazine / IdaHome FLAVOR. Stay tuned for part two of this rapidly evolving story!
According to a 1997 study by the National Cancer Institute, of the top five counties that received the highest radiation dose from nuclear weapons testing, four are in Idaho—Gem, Blaine, Custer, and Lemhi. In the 1950s and 1960s, the bulk of the United States’ nuclear weapons testing occurred at the Nevada Test Site, a 680 square-mile stretch of desert, chosen specifically for its lack of proximity to, well, anywhere. Las Vegas is the closest metropolitan area, 65 miles to the southeast, but westerly winds that whipped through the desert were expected to carry any radioactive clouds away from populated areas. Those American citizens government officials thought may be affected—primarily living in southern Utah and northern Nevada—were termed “low-use segments of the population,” according to formerly classified Atomic Energy Commission documents. https://lnkd.in/gYQxxXES

“What would it mean if Russia used nuclear warheads to destroy U.S. satellites? Your home’s electrical and water systems could fail. Aviation, rail and car traffic could come to a halt. Your cellphone could stop working. These are among the reasons why there was alarm this week over reports that Russia may be pursuing nuclear weapons in space. The White House has said the danger isn’t imminent. But reports of the new anti-satellite weapon build on longstanding worries about space threats from Russia and China. So much of the country’s infrastructure is now dependent on U.S. satellite communications — and those satellites have become increasingly vulnerable. It would also not be the first time a nuclear warhead has been detonated in space, or the only capability China and Russia are pursuing to disable or destroy a U.S. satellite. Here’s a look at what’s happened in the past, why Russia may be pursuing a nuclear weapon for space now, and what the U.S. is doing about all the space threats it faces”.

The Information Age is rife with opportunities for cafeteria-style misinformation-gathering. (...) Not only are cable and online media outlets often slanted to give credence to these ideas—frequently succumbing to journalistic “false balance” or “both-sides” storytelling—but individuals who interact with and post about these topics are at the mercy of social media algorithms programmed to feed a growing share of like-minded posts. Before you know it, many find themselves trapped in an identity-affirming feedback loop. (...) In the post-truth era, objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief. Once a narrative that serves a person’s worldview is found, confirmation bias takes over. The radicalization of certain individuals today can happen faster and reach greater extremes thanks to endless and unencumbered access to post-truth information via the World Wide Web. https://lnkd.in/dQ6-DN6u
