The international radiation symbol (air regulator on stove above) first appeared in 1946, at the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory. At the time, it was rendered as magenta, and was set on a blue background. The original version used in the United States is magenta against a yellow background, and it is drawn with a central circle of radius R, an internal radius of 1.5R and an external radius of 5R for the blades, which are separated from each other by 60°. The trefoil is black in the international version, which is also used in the United States.

Illustration below shows a vignette cartoon with at center a group of six men, among them John D. Rockefeller and E.B. Thomas, warming themselves by a stove labeled “Standard Oil”; the vignette at bottom left shows Andrew Carnegie burning “U.S. Steel Bonds” and Charles Schwab attempting to burn “Steel Common” stocks, on the right is Chauncey Depew burning speeches; on the middle left is a tramp resting against a haystack in the warm sun, on the right is William Jennings Bryan generating hot air while speaking to a group of farmers; and on the top left is a family burning the furniture in a fireplace, and on the right is E.B. Thomas sitting in front of a fireplace where a lump of “Radium” is warming the room.

10 thought on “The forgotten safe technology of Radium for home heating to a health supplement”
  1. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, we’re already screwed. A multi-pronged approach whilst everyone was intentionally distracted and arguing. It’s too late. No one has seen or noticed all the other things. The entire planet to themselves soon. Live what little of your life you have left as best you can, tie loose ends and make amends, that is what is important now.

    This is the End. We do not win. We have already lost.

  2. Hmm. So here’s your free energy, for real, this time. All you need is a sealed, shielded container of radium with a heat exchanger that you hook up to a steam turbine that runs a generator. Power your home or business for life. My, would that upset the goals of the globalists.

  3. Just changing the subject for a moment… just saw on Ch 10 that the North is under water… There is a big rain blob (similar to one that flooded Brisbane not so long ago), just hovering over Nth Qld and the floods are seriously out of control. The cyclone has well and truly gone but this weird rain blob is just there!!

    Does anyone know what is happening? Does the flooding extend to the Tablelands..?

  4. The Fatal Discourse of Rabbi Reichhorn’s “FuneralOration”

    Rabbi Reichhorn’s Protocols

    “6. By the ceaseless praise of DEMOCRATIC RULE we shall divide the Christians into political parties, we shall destroy the unity of their nations, we shall sow discord everywhere. Reduced to impotence, they will bow before the LAW of OUR BANK, always united, and always devoted to our Cause.”

  5. I don’t know I just cut & paste

    “Radium does not glow in the dark itself. Radium paint glows in the dark because it’s a mix of a very little radium with a phosphor — something that emits light when hit by ultraviolet rays, or, in this case, the alpha particle radiation emitted by the radium”.
    “Alpha particles, also called alpha rays or alpha radiation, consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle…”
    “They are a highly ionizing form of particle radiation and, when the result from radioactive alpha decay, usually have low penetration depth (stopped by a few centimetres of air, or by the skin).
    “However, so-called long-range alpha particles from ternary fission are three times as energetic and penetrate three times as far. The helium nuclei that form 10–12% of cosmic rays are also usually of much higher energy than those produced by nuclear decay processes, and thus may be highly penetrating and able to traverse the human body and also many metres of dense solid shielding …”

    Well the Romans had their lead plumbing and we have microwaves everywhere now, as well junk food, BigPharma, contrails and DEWs and worst of all the M$M

  6. The lack of soot in old fire places indicates fire wasn’t used to warm the rooms of old French 2nd Empire style houses. And the chimneys were built way too thin to vent heavy carbonised smoke.
    So, it seems, getting rid of radium was another win for Standard Oil, at humanity’s expense. If the houses don’t prove that the propaganda against radium that followed certainly does.
    Just as Galen Windsor.

  7. Amazing! From https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/12732/9-ways-people-used-radium-we-understood-risks =

    Five Radium Girls sued U.S. Radium in a case that initiated labor safety standards and workers’ rights. There are no records of how many of U.S. Radium’s employees suffered from anemia, inexplicable bone fractures, bleeding gums and eventually, necrosis of the jaw. Though many of the factory’s workers became sick, cases of death by radiation sickness were initially attributed to syphilis. (It’s believed that this was an attempt to smear the girls’ reputations, and that medical investigators hired by U.S. Radium were paid to withhold their findings.)

    The Radium Girls’ case was settled in 1928, putting a swift end to shaping paintbrushes with the mouth and open containers of radium paint. Though radium was still used in clocks until the 1960s, new cases of acute radiation syndrome in dial painters came to a screeching halt, and soon after, so did the popularity of radium-containing products and toys. The former U.S. Radium manufacturing plant is now a Superfund site.

  8. My Grandparents did not have central heating and managed to survive blizzards and icestorms.

    The hay bales were stacked against the inside walls of the barm for insulation. Inside the house there was a wood fired stove of real English make in the kitchen and in the living area a stone fireplace. There always was a pot on the fire and the steam diffused throughout the room and warmed it. So the kitchen and living room always had warmth. The bread could be baked right on the stones.

    There was a space in the fireplace where there were metamorphic rocks – granite piled up. They retained heat very well and kept the heat all night. When it was time to go to bed (the kids slept in the coldest part of the house, the attic, which was freezing) – you got the granite rocks out of the fireplace, put them in canvas bags and toted them upstairs and put them into the beds and under the pillows which they quickly warmed to a comfortable heat that stayed that way all night. The dogs piled in on top.

    Even during the blizzards when the only way out to the barn was the blizzard line and you could not see your hand in front of your face – everyone was warm.

    It is UN Communist blather that we have to have an ‘energy crisis’.

  9. It’s worth mentioning, Nobel prize winner Marie Curie, who is credited with discovering the radioactive elements Radium and Polonium, died of aplastic anaemia in 1934 – attributed to her years of exposure to ionizing radiation from samples of Radium.

    Notwithstanding the kaleidoscopically toxic environment we’re all immersed in on a daily basis, that’s a small detail that prospective Radium Heater owners might like to look into as part of their due diligence.
