Tokyo Residents: Don't Touch the Black or Blue Dirt
Fukushima has been decimated by radiation.
But Fukushima City has less than 300,000 residents. And all of Fukushima prefecture has 2 million. On the other hand, greater Tokyo - the world's largest megacity - has 35 million inhabitants.
Tokyo soil has been blanketed by Fukushima radiation, even though the Japanese capital is 170 miles from the Fukushima nuclear complex.
Now, substances with even higher levels of radiation are showing up around Tokyo.
Minamisoma city council member Koichi Oyama writes:
People in Tokyo, the black substance is here!
***
Please, people who live around, look at that!
***
It’s on the roof, on the asphalt, on concrete… Everywhere on all surfaces.
“Almost every part where is black”.
“Those black substances have fallen away and because of the rain water it accumulates underfoot”.
“I think 1 micro is almost 100000 becquerels?, 1 second ?,?,? Ray 100 needles?”.
“Never touch them with naked hands”.
What is he talking about?
City council member Koichi filmed black "dirt" on the ground in various areas of Tokyo, showing very high radiation levels.
For example, here's Tokyo University last month:
Tokyo University Hospital:
Blue dirt at Sano SA
Blue dirt at Shinozaki Garden in Edogawa District
Blue dirt in front of National Printing Bureau in Kita District
Radioactive black substances have previously been found all over Japan, including on roads, near schools and other locations. Indeed, some of the highest radiation readings ever found in Japan come from such black substances.
Many in Japan are claiming that certain types of algae or bacteria are attracted to the radiation, and that the organisms are turning the radioactive substances black or blue. Some bacteria do use radiation as "food", and some algae do selectively "eat" cesium ... a substance put out in large quantities by Fukushima.
Others claim that this is ash from Japan's program of burning radioactive materials. Still others say that it is something coming directly from Fukushima's crippled reactors.
Whatever it is, one thing is for certain: Tokyo residents should not touch the stuff.

Those headlines are indicative of the quality of the fish sellers, not the fish they are selling.
I heard they have found the same stuff in some parts of California too.
Pelosi, Boxer and Feinstien should go play in the dirt!
They ARE the Dirt!
yeah. to the banksters, they are CHEAPER than dirt.
possibly not actually but the metaphor is apt. how cheap politicians come is ludicrous.
the return on investment on campaign contributions that lead to regulatory capture that perpetuates oligopoly is something on the order of 1000x. a million gets a billion.
Anyone that tells you we have nothing to fear here in the U.S. is ill informed.
For more than a year the Fukushima facility and the incineration of earthquake and tsunami debris has deposited quite a bit of fallout across N. America.
Some will say I am fear mongering. I say I don't trust anything the government says about this disaster, and in particular, the impact here in the U.S.
Do you believe TPTB when they say there is nothing to worry about? Sure hope not.
You can get a good idea of what is floating around in the air in your area by having your air filters tested.
There is a private company testing air filters for hot particles. The tests are completely free.

This is particularly important if you live WEST of the Rockies.
Thanks.
Doe's anyone think the Japs give a flyin fuck if radation makes it's way over here? I think not.
Yeah, flyin' f, I think they do give one yours. I grew up in Japan. Japanese people will go out of their way to avoid even the appearance of offending someone. And Japanese people are fearful of radioactivty in particular. If their government is lying, Japanese people will be ashamed.
As gaijiin, you may not know what it means to be ashamed. It can be fatal.
Doe's anyone think the Yanks give a flyin fuck if radation makes it's way over there? I think not.
None whatsoever.
Look at the way they are treating their own population.
The response is pretty interesting as well. The normally very reserved Japanese are coming out of their shells and bitching up a storm at the notion of restarting their nuke plants.
I know it's a horrible situation, but I still love saying it:
"Fukushima"
Also, I've been easing up on the sushi & filets-o-fish
Those are hair pieces.
George, has a piece of that Tepco Reactor #4 washed up on the California beaches yet?
Looks like Japan is where the Zombie Apocalypse is going to start……Beware of People eating Brains….Especially blue and black ones…
All I see is... Dirt... Like over here... Why not do a radiation test in the vid?
Sounds BS to me, even as I really don't feel like going to Japan and I do believe it's way to radioactive over there.
But you can eat the yellow snow...
Or, Can you eat yellow cake...

More importantly from Frank
I am gross and perverted, I'm obsessed and deranged, I have existed for years, but very little has changed.
I am the tool of the government, and industry too and i am destined to rule and regulate you
I'm the best you can get, have you guessed me yet, I'm the slime oozin out of your TV set.

There has got to be movie to made out of this, kind of a nuclear cross beteen The Night of the Triffids and The Blob... that ate Tokyo.
There has to be a Godzilla joke in here somewhere......
YEAH,
How about Michael Moore doing something USEFUL for a change.
'Godzilla Meets The Night of The Living Dead.'
<dup>
Cant make a movie, as all the film in Japan is fogged now.
they'll make futuristic anime with good porn.
I'm sorry? A bunch of videos showing... dirt?
C'mon GW, you can do better than this. If they had geiger counters going nuts over the aforementioned dirt it would mean something.. as it is, it's just... dirt.
oh my god - it's (brace yourself) dirt!!!!!!
In Virgina City, "That infernal blue stuff" kept slowing down the quest for gold.
there is nothing here.
what struck your facy on this breathless load of whatever?
The dirt must be driving Tokyo-ians crazy. They have always been so 'clean' - conscious.
Dirt on street? Never. Buc-ga-yaru.
Reminds me of an old flick with Michael Douglas called 'Black Rain'...I remember it as being a good action flick.

or, alternatively, this is not a movie but the glowing feathers of a great black swan of an earthquake and a tidal wave breaking open and melting down an ocean front series of nuclear reactors the debris of which will be distributed world wide with uncertain results.
it is calling to its mate in europe, the slow but accelerating destruction of a monetary union without fiscal union ameliorated by austerity for the peasants and tax moneys for zombie bank bondholders and their retinues.
