The bottom of this playing card reads: "Disaster! This is an instant attack to Destroy any Place ... Its Power is 14 against a Huge Place, 18 against any other Place ... Nuclear Power Companies lose their action token when this card is played on any Place." The world has already had two nuclear power plant accidents, have we not? At Chernobyl and Three Mile Island. Let us review the suspicious timing and occasion of the accident at Three Mile Island. "FEMA (Now operating under Homeland Security) has the authority to .... order mass evacuation of residents in the perimeter of nuclear power plants ... It is an interesting coincidence that the Three Mile Island incident occurred just one day after FEMA became operational. FEMA arrived on the scene of the nuclear power accident and fostered an atmosphere of panic, and lobbied for mass evacuations that would have given FEMA authority over all other Federal, state, and local governmental bodies ... There is some evidence that ... Three Mile Island was an act of sabotage." ["The Unseen Hand", by A. Ralph Epperson, p. 411] At this point, I have a question: at the time Steve Jackson was creating this Illuminati Card Game, the nuclear power plant accidents at both Chernobyl and Three Mile Island had occurred; therefore, since Jackson included a "Nuclear Accident" in this card game, does that mean we have a planned nuclear power accident -- or "terrorist attack" -- yet in our future?
Worldwide , many nuclear accidents have occurred since the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. Two thirds of these mishaps occurred in the US.[1] The French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) has concluded that technical innovation cannot eliminate the risk of human errors in nuclear plant operation

Yeah, I actually did. Plus threads like these are posted rather frequently about this card game, it is nothing new. Way to ignore the points I made though.
