Japan Begins Purposely Dumping 100s Of Tons Of Radioactive Water From Fukushima Into The Pacific
Submitted by Michael Snyder of The Economic Collapse blog,
How do you get rid of hundreds of tons of highly radioactive water? You dump it into the Pacific Ocean of course! In Japan, the Tokyo Electric Power Co. has made the “painful decision” to begin purposely dumping massive amounts of radioactive water currently being stored at the destroyed Fukushima nuclear facility directly into the Pacific. This is being done even though water radiation levels near Fukushima spiked to a brand new all-time record high just a few days ago. The radioactive material that is being released will enter our food chain and will potentially stay with us for decades to come. Fukushima is an environmental nightmare that never seems to end, but the mainstream media in the United States decided to pretty much stop talking about it long ago. So don’t expect the big news networks to make a big deal out of the fact that Japan is choosing to use the Pacific Ocean as a toilet for their nuclear waste. But even though they aren’t talking about it, that doesn’t mean that radioactive material from Fukushima is not seriously affecting the health of millions of people all over the planet.
According to the Japan Times, Tepco released 560 tons of radioactive water into the Pacific on Wednesday, and Tepco says that for the foreseeable future we should expect another 100 tons of radioactive water to be released into the ocean every single day…
Tokyo Electric Power Co. began dumping groundwater from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant into the Pacific on Wednesday, in a bid to manage the huge amounts of radioactive water that have built up at the complex.
The utility, which says the water discharged is within legal radiation safety limits, has been fighting a daily battle against contaminated water since Fukushima No. 1 was decimated by the earthquake and tsunami of March 2011.
Tepco said 560 tons of groundwater captured and stored before it entered reactor building basements was to be released Wednesday, using a bypass system that funnels it toward the ocean after checking for radiation levels.
Using the bypass, Tepco hopes to divert an average of 100 tons of untainted groundwater a day into the ocean.
Tepco is assuring us that the radioactive water that is being released is within “legal radiation safety limits”.
But this is the same company that could not tell us why radiation levels in water near Fukushima reached a new all-time high just a few days ago…
Radiation has spiked to all-time highs at five monitoring points in waters adjacent to the crippled Fukushima No. 1 power station, plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Friday.
The measurements follow similar highs detected in groundwater at the plant. Officials of Tepco, as the utility is known, said the cause of the seawater spike is unknown.
Three of the monitoring sites are inside the wrecked plant’s adjacent port, which ships once used to supply it.
At one sampling point in the port, between the water intakes for the No. 2 and No. 3 reactors, 1,900 becquerels per liter of tritium was detected Monday, up from a previous high of 1,400 becquerels measured on April 14, Tepco said.
Nearby, also within the port, tritium levels were found to have spiked to 1,400 becquerels, from a previous high of 1,200 becquerels.
So do you trust Tepco?
I certainly do not.
And this is not just a Japanese issue. Radioactive material from Fukushima has literally been found all over the planet. For example, a nuclear fuel fragment from Fukushima has been found as far away as Norway.
Once this radioactive material gets into the ocean and into our food chain, there is no telling where it may end up.
If the mainstream media really did care about “the environment”, they would be talking about this. But instead, there seems to be a conspiracy of silence. Just consider the comments that Martin Fackler of the New York Times made during one recent interview…
Yeah… it’s so hard in Japan to talk about the radiation issue, like how bad is it really… There is a sense that if you even talk about these issues, you’re hurting the poor people of Fuksuhima. Therefore, we shouldn’t talk about it. That’s just not right… The folks who don’t want us to talk about it are the government, because they don’t want to pay compensation… I feel like there is a lot going on in Fukushima that just doesn’t get talked about in the local media, not necessarily for government cover-up sort of issues, but self restraint or self censorship. Even papers that are pretty strong in their reporting on Tepco in some ways, like the Tokyo Shimbun, won’t talk about these issues because they’re afraid that somehow its unpatriotic to talk about radiation. There’s a lot of questions and issues that are not being talked about, and I think they should be talked and if there is damage to the people of Fukushima that’s the responsibility of Tepco…
And the U.S. media certainly doesn’t seem to want to talk about how radiation from Fukushima could be affecting the west coast of our country.
But the evidence continues to mount that something very unusual is happening.
Just consider what is happening to young sea lions along the coast of California…
Sea lions are once again struggling to survive and are washing ashore, many of them pups dehydrated, malnourished and on the brink of death.
The year started off quieter than last year, and the Pacific Marine Mammal Center’s director of development, Melissa Sciacca, thought they were in the clear – until about a month ago, when the calls started coming in nonstop. The center, in Laguna Beach, is near capacity, with about 100 sea lions being treated so they can be returned to the wild once they are strong enough.
“We thought it was going to be a nice calm year; in the last month it’s just spiked,” she said. “The rescues just keep coming in at a steady pace.”
And as I wrote about just the other day, something is causing millions of fish to die in mass death events all over the globe right now.
Could Fukushima be a contributing factor?
A lot of people out there are attempting to downplay the impact that the Fukushima nuclear disaster has had on the Pacific Ocean.
I believe that this is a huge mistake.
Nuclear radiation causes cancer.
Nuclear radiation kills.
The total amount of nuclear material released from Fukushima just continues to increase and slowly accumulate in our food chain. When these nuclear particles get into you, they can literally start cooking you from the inside out. In a previous article, I included a quote from an opinion piece by Helen Caldicott that was published in the Guardian….
Internal radiation, on the other hand, emanates from radioactive elements which enter the body by inhalation, ingestion, or skin absorption. Hazardous radionuclides such as iodine-131, caesium 137, and other isotopes currently being released in the sea and air around Fukushima bio-concentrate at each step of various food chains (for example into algae, crustaceans, small fish, bigger fish, then humans; or soil, grass, cow’s meat and milk, then humans). After they enter the body, these elements – called internal emitters – migrate to specific organs such as the thyroid, liver, bone, and brain, where they continuously irradiate small volumes of cells with high doses of alpha, beta and/or gamma radiation, and over many years, can induce uncontrolled cell replication – that is, cancer. Further, many of the nuclides remain radioactive in the environment for generations, and ultimately will cause increased incidences of cancer and genetic diseases over time.
Doesn’t that sound lovely?
And it has been documented that radioactive material from Fukushima has been getting into the seafood being sold in North America.
For example, back in 2012 the Vancouver Sun reported that cesium-137 was being discovered in a very high percentage of the fish that Japan was selling to Canada…
• 73 percent of the mackerel
• 91 percent of the halibut
• 92 percent of the sardines
• 93 percent of the tuna and eel
• 94 percent of the cod and anchovies
• 100 percent of the carp, seaweed, shark and monkfish
So why was radiation testing for seafood subsequently shut down in Canada?
Since that time, as I detailed in one of my previous articles, a high school student up in Canada tested seafood bought at local grocery stores for radioactive contamination. What she found was absolutely stunning…
A Canadian high school student named Bronwyn Delacruz never imagined that her school science project would make headlines all over the world. But that is precisely what has happened. Using a $600 Geiger counter purchased by her father, Delacruz measured seafood bought at local grocery stores for radioactive contamination. What she discovered was absolutely stunning. Much of the seafood, particularly the products that were made in China, tested very high for radiation. So is this being caused by nuclear radiation from Fukushima? Is the seafood that we are eating going to give us cancer and other diseases?
Why aren’t we being warned about this?
Earlier this year, a fish that was caught just off the coast of the Fukushima prefecture was discovered to have 124 times the safe level of radioactive cesium.
But virtually nobody in the mainstream media considers this to be important enough to talk about.
A lot of people seem to think that the Fukushima nuclear disaster is old news. But in many ways the biggest problems for North America may just be beginning. For example, according to scientists at the University of South Wales, the main radioactive plume of water from Fukushima has finally crossed the Pacific Ocean and is going to hit our shores at some point during 2014…
The first radioactive ocean plume released by the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster will finally be reaching the shores of the United States some time in 2014, according to a new study from the University of New South Wales — a full three or so years after the date of the disaster.
The following graphics come directly from that study…
So as the main plume of nuclear radiation reaches our shores, what will that do to our wildlife, our fishing industry and our beaches?
And what kind of danger does this radioactive water pose to those living along the west coast?
These are very important questions, but unfortunately those in power and those working for the mainstream media don’t really want to talk about these things.

SAT 800. Or was that SAT 8?
"if you eat it in a fish; you'll just shit it out again"
Uhm, BULLSHIT.
With a one-time ingestion, much of the Cesium leaves the body, but since the discharge from the body has a half life of 110 days, it takes years for the cesium you ingested today to be gone. And then there is the Cesium ingested tomorrow, and so on. Bioaccumulation, baby. Its what deforms your genes, creates sterility.
The key phrase is "if the source is removed", because if not, the Cesium is never discharged.
What Happens to It in the Body? Cesium can be taken into the body by eating food, drinking water, or breathing air. After being taken in, cesium behaves in a manner similar to potassium and distributes uniformly throughout the body. Gastrointestinal absorption from food or water is the principal source of internally deposited cesium in the general population. Essentially all cesium that is ingested is absorbed into the bloodstream through the intestines. Cesium tends to concentrate in muscles because of their relatively large mass. Like potassium, cesium is excreted from the body fairly quickly. Ten percent is excreted with a biological half-life of 2 days, and the rest leaves the body with a biological half-life of about 110 days. This means that if someone is exposed to radioactive cesium and the source of exposure is removed, much of the cesium will readily clear the body along the normal pathways for potassium excretion within several months. http://hpschapters.org/northcarolina/NSDS/cesium.pdfArithmetic is so boring; why bother to get any right answers when you can just get all excited instead.
Once more; there is no such thing as radioactive water; highly, lowly, or any other way. LOOK IT UP FOR CHRISTS SAKE. Do yourself a favor; learn a fact; just one; it won't kill you.
Water containing a Tritium atom IS radioactive - with a 12 year half-life - for about 100 years.
"Hey, welcome to Californica, Jim. First time here?"
"Yeah, Bill. Gee, everything just...glows!"
Where are the details? Is this Tritium or Cesium contaminating the water. If Tritium you can extract it and sell it for a profit or boil it away. If it's Cesium you can extract it with ion exchange resins and dispose of it properly. If it's impossible to do either then load it in tankers and pump it deep into the sediments of an abyssal plain where it will decay and get sucked into the mantle. There is no excuse for dispersing contaminants into the sea because treatment is cheap.
The techno-worshippers like the "wall of ice" idea too...haha...
"that crackling noise you hear is not the sound of an ice cube cracking in water you moron."
@ Zero - Strategy and tactics fail without proper logistics.
This isn't a leaky pipe or two. "Treatment is cheap" - yeah, those fucking retarded engineers. Look at the photos of the reactor buildings after the "hydrogen" explosions and imagine "collecting" all of the ground water, rain water, basement and former cooling pool water leaking from every-fucking-corner of every blown to shit piece of former machinery and building.
I agree, no excuse. s/
You want details on an internet blog where people think water is radioactive; and they can read "top secret" reports about irradiated sailors. Good luck.
I'm pretty sure you are a MDB wanna-be. I could be wrong though - you could just be a true idiot.
SAT 800
You have to complete your posts with "Reporting from INSIDE the Fukushima reactors, on cleanup duty"
Otherwise, people would think you're actually joking about this radiation being harmless.
560 tons of water that bypassed the basement was dumped into the ocean?
Why not just dump 560 tons of basement water instead? Just say 'oops'.
Hank would do it and go so far as to prevent anyone from being able to measure it!
How can people say that nuclear contaminated waste from Fukushima hasn't been washing up in the US for years?
What did this float on?
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/66-foot-concrete-dock-washes-ashore...
Well, if your policy plan is to start up dozens more of these nuclear menaces for power generation, you have to cut corners and sort of pretend there's no serious problems...
They really want Godzilla, don't they?
This is capitalism, when the most dangerous form of energy on the planet is institutionalized by the most ignorant of oligarch types with no education but a yin for money.
http://www.ratical.org/many_worlds/6Nations/6nations1.html#part1a
No. This is CORPORATISM....FASCISM. Not only do the oligarchs have a yin for money but they also have one for others' death and destruction...like Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Abe, Putin and Obama.
In a capitalist socoety one would see the death of TEPCO with the prosecution, imprisonment, and (hopefully) the death of the Board of Directors. Capitalists are held accountable and are subject to the rule of law. Economic Law would bankrupt them.
And as Nuke Reactors are impossible to insure they'd never had been built in the first place without Government sanction and finance. It is SOCIALISM that causes the problem as the Fascists are National SOCIALISTS.
Go away socialist. Go back to Huffington Post.
As for TEPCO??? Fuck You Shima assholes!!! They need be executed.
U235 nuke plants would never have been built without massive government subsidy, who needed them to contribute to their nuclear weapons matériel production, so they weren't in danger of losing control of their tax farms.
ie, they are the result of the State, not the market.
OK, so if all this hot waste settles down to the seafloor and (1000s of years from now) passes into a subduction zone, is there much chance of a criticality event?
Japan is not located in a subduction zone. my god there's no limit to human stupidity. Couldn't you find something useful to do; knitting, maybe?
So you're saying all the radiation is staying in Japan?
Any kind of pollution or radiation you just dump into the Pacific ocean. It works every time. There are places in Italy now that radiation has been deposited as well as the coast off Italy by the mob. No big deal only future inhabitants will realize the effects. Welcome to the planet of the apes
Atom-bomb payback?
650 metric tons of water < 200,000 gallons or about 1/3 of an olympic swimming pool, meh. As an old USCG chief told me, "the solution to pollution is dilution"
With respect, and I am no expert on radiation, but I did stay at a...
No, really, unlike say, poison, dilution, spread, of radiation is bad, very bad. If the radioactive particles are "hot" enough, a few, or even just one, are enough to do great harm to a human and other animals.
Radiation is better concentrated and contained, not spread around working its way into our air or up the food-chain into our bodies..
Just my 2 1913 cents.
Thank the US government for coming to the rescue with Obamacare!
650 fl oz of radioactive water is TOO MUCH to be released into the ocean.
It was Japanese government's decision to build the nuclear plant without adequate protection and safefy measures. They had been repeatedly and sternly warned by members of the advisory body prior to construction.
It's their screw-up. They should be the ones to suffer the consequences. The radioactive materials must be contained within the Japanese border to the greatest extent possible, even if it means tens of thousands of Japanese will have to die from it.
The ecological system's well-being is too important to be compromised by the self-interests of the Japanese.
This is correct, of course; but the muppets aren't going to like it; they just looove their terminally ignorant little opinions about all the nuclear doom.
The energy released by the decay of any radioactive substance does not get minimized by dilution of the source, so that's not a solution at all.
question: when does a crime against the global eco-system turn into a crime against humanity and does any lame-assed, self serving, corrupt politician ever give a shit about a moral, ethical and health crime committed by a nation state.
even the dip shit european commission and government or the us political system owen by oligarchs could do a better job than the morons that are leading japan into a nuclear wasteland.
japanese energy companies and polticians need to prosecuted and go to a world jail for the newly classifed crime of "attempted murder due to incompetence" and all japanese government functions should be ceded to a UN peace keeping force... japan is simply not competent to govern its own sovereign affairs and its impact on the rest of us is now reaching critical proportions. it has to be removed from any decision that may impact itself and anyone else.
and you cant dilute it..it doesnt go away ..one microbe of radiation lasts a lifetime and if you eat one microbe in your kobe beef you will die of cancer...happy black dot to you who belittle this issue...shame
One microbe of radiation lasts a lifetime; one microbe in your Kobe beef;----I rest my case, there is literally no limit to the assinine sutpidity of people who post their stupid crap head opinons here.
Call me stupid, but I'm pretty sure you just posted an opinion. ..... Just saying.
A microbe is a small animal.
using correct terminology may help your case.
Try using the word particle next time.
go read up on the subject.
You're a crime against humanity. For God's sake don't reproduce.

The story is contained in a transcript of secret interviews with Masao Yoshida, the manager of the plant at the time of the disaster, who died last year (of you guessed it....throat cancer)
As a bonus trivia fact:
Oppenheimer (father of the nuclear bomb) died of throat cancer.
So did Oppehnheimer's wife...and Marie Curie...and pretty much all of them save one.

"it should be noted that the long-term effects of low-level radiation in the environment remain incompletely understood, and that this understanding would benefit from increased governmental support for the monitoring of radioactivity in seawater and marine biota and the study of health outcomes linked to radiation exposure."

a.) every environmental Phd. wants a government grant to do more research. b.) it's a little late to worry about the Strontium 90 in your skeleton that you got, at a minimum, from your mother's milk; possibly augmented from cows milk, as a direct result of the US Govt. above ground nuclear testing program. This is what's known as a fact, but the way.
Michael Snyder should read http://www.hiroshimasyndrome.com to get some knowledge of Nuclear.
If the mainstream media really cared they would cover stories like these with actual facts and push for more nuclear plants to be built. It is only real solution. Solar and wind are not as efficient.
...my letter to TEPCO:
http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/other/contact/contop-e.html
Attn: You Rat Fucking Gook Bastards (RFGB)
You fucking lying slimy sacks of shit, you should all begin drinking your own radioactive waste and stop shipping your fucking piece of shit automobiles, we do not need them either.
Stop buying the worthless US Treasury and propping up the criminal cabal and you will require far fewer nuclear reactors to drive your dying economy.
Havent you figured out the only ones making a profit are the criminal banking cabal, the world would be a better place if all of the TEPCO corporation was a dead entity along with most of its honorable executives. Shouldn't you all be out comitting hari kare.
If nothing else the least you assholes could do to save face is send out some of the fucking yakuza ninjas and kill off the Bush, Rothschild and Rockefeller clan. It would be far more productive than killing off the worlds ocean life. Try for a minute just being less fucking useless than the collective lot of RFGBs are at present, apply some of the inscrutable oriental logic and figure it the fuck out you goddammed idiots.
Sincerely, round eye gaijin,
FOAD
Haha, RFGB, I have not heard that in years.
They are just trying to feed godzilla, so that he becomes strong enough to fight mothra.
SuCkNN just had a piece on how they believe that the Mutos attacked and ate the MH370. They will be covering more possibilities for the next 27 months.
Something wrong with using the water to make cement blocks, and then dumping into
some really deep water?
At this stage what Tepco is doing is totally pathetic. They're pumping in water to 4 reactors that have totally melted down, most of which is still sinking downwards while the rest was blown out in those hydrogen explosions. The rest of the water is being used to try and fill up the spent fuel rod storage pools inside the units, but the ones in units 3 and 4 have both burnt down and/or were blasted upwards by the hydrogen explosions. Do not be fooled by Tepco's fuel rod removal operation, it is a hoax.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqhWRNsrYxc
As the video explains, the worst has happened people. Within ten days of the tsunami there had been four core melts, three potential core blowouts and at least two burnt out fuel rod storage pools (which were stupidly placed on TOP of the reactors).
At this point a few trillion should be spent building a massive sea wall which would form part of huge concrete seal running underground, while lead, boric acid and concrete is poured into the units to smother the melted cores- or what is left of them. Lastly a sarcophocus should be erected over all 4 units to prevent any more radiation being emitted.
But that would mean TEPCO and the Japanese government acknowledging that the worst has happened, and we can't have that even if it means most of the Pacific dies from radioactive contamination and most of the Japanese people die off from lukieamia in the next fifty years.
Wouldn't work, you can't contain hot cores with concrete, would break out in weeks or months, you could build it a thousand feet deep and it wouldn't hold. Have to break up and cool the cores, then either reprocess it all (very expensive), or dilute and glassify it and bury it, or maybe burn it up in a thorium reactor (new technology). Or else just keep pouring water over it, creating endless radioactive pollution. Or maybe just bulldoze it all into the ocean and open up boat tours into the Sea of Hot Soup.
At this point a few trillion should be spent
but then they would need to begin selling the u.s. treasuries they hold to help pay for it. Im sure we helped convinced them to just pure water on it and keep quiet
Well, this explains the weird fish I caught last night.
Just keep your hands above the blankets.
“Why aren’t we being warned about this?”
Perhaps the crony-capitalists and their political minions want to cull the herd.
Ensuring ionizing substances are ingested may be more effective than engineering pathogens and fattening up humans with the “rat poison” the FDA (Federal Death Agency) ceritifies as food.
Same result, multiple vectors. Higher profits for the Obummercare industry.
.... "Why aren't we being warned about this" ?
Really? You need a gubberment fucking warning? We have been dumping trash, oil, gas, waste and nuclear waste into the ocean for years. Yes, lets have a warning.
"Warning", your trusted government inspectors work for the Government... Trust Much?
They've been dumping toxic water into the Pacific for three years. They are just admitting it now.
Yeah GE! We bring good things to life. First company to fuck up an entire ocean. Show me that stupid line dancing commercial again will ya. Water should have been frozen into ice cubes and served in the drinks of all politicans and their corporate sponsors.
But if it doesnt kill you bitchez
Go east young man, go east!!
Before all of us just fall over dead from the Fukshima disaster. let's go to the movies. http://thebabushkasofchernobyl.com/
Just before I drop dead from radiation, I want to see this video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejCQrOTE-XA
...adding to the humans-cause-global-warming case?
So they talk about a "genetic passport".
"In an effort to curtail the birth of a new generation of deformed children, a Kazakh doctor recently tried to implement a mandatory “genetic passport” allowing people to know if their genes were damaged by radiation."
If we look at this:
http://inmotion.magnumphotos.com/essay/chernobyl
We're being push towards impossible decisions.
The situation is complicated at the outset. Moran’s gloss on Derrida’s definition of decision: to make one—to decide—is impossible. On the one hand, a decision made as a result of calculation or according to an established program is not a decision at all, as it has been pre-programmed to follow quite apart from human agency. Thus, on the other hand, one must turn to face forward toward the incalculable, the impossible to predetermine. This is not an endorsement of reckless decision making for, quoting Derrida, “the instant of decision must remain heterogeneous to all knowledge as such, to all theoretical or reportive determination, even if it may or must be preceded by all science and conscience.” Impossibility, then, is the necessary condition for decision making because the only real decision is the impossible one made by suspension of knowledge.
(Dominic Moran’s “Decisions, Decisions: Derrida on Kierkegaard and Abraham,” )
We've been forced to live in an irrational world.
THAT causes cognitive dissonance.
In the end, it's upon us either to "flight or fight" or get getting rational and act consequently.
What is important to understand when exploring the subject of cognitive dissonance is that humans react to new information with two basic emotional responses, flight or fight. Those that choose flight often completely ignore any new information that might alter their paradigm or world view. Those that choose to fight the information often respond with anger and attack the source of the information or messenger, constructing arguments that will keep their world view intact.
One perfect example of this is all the new information that has come out after the events of September 11, 2001 in which the governments version of event does not hold up to scientific scrutiny.
("Cognitive dissonance: Flight or fight")
I.E.: Are we going to support the construction of new APPs? (Even if it's with our silence)
Or are we going to fight the Nuclear Industry and demand a World effort in Fukushima PP?
Rational answer, coherent behavior, that's all we need. Do we have what it takes to behave, to act rationally?
An evacuation of the West coast of the United States = bullish for South American real estate
"How do you get rid of hundreds of tons of highly radioactive water?"
from http://ex-skf.blogspot.com/
"Again, the groundwater is NOT highly radioactive, as it is drawn before it enters the reactor buildings.
Cesium-134: 0.022 Bq/L
Cesium-137: 0.039 Bq/L
All alpha (including plutonium): ND
All beta (including strontium): ND
Strontium-90: 0.011 Bq/L
Tritium: 230 Bq/L
--------------------------
Having secured the consent from the Fukushima fishermen with the help from the national government (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, which is still in charge of oversight), TEPCO has started releasing the groundwater drawn from the wells before the water reaches the reactor buildings and gets contaminated heavily."
:)
Soylent Green bitchez
It accumulates in bushes and grasses and trees.
And then there is a large fire, which releases and sends aloft in the heat plume to far corners of the earth.
"Tepco is assuring us that the radioactive water that is being released is within “legal radiation safety limits”."
I would not accept any assurance from Tepco.
why doesn't TEPCO get a supertanker or two pump all the radioactive water out of the local tanks into the tanker then tow the tanker to a safe harbor somewhere. Pick someplace where the tanker can sit as a deadly ghost. Give it 20 years, then
pump the tanker dry, into a new tanker,do that 4-5 times, i suspect after awhile you will have a ghost fleet of a 100
tankers. so you need a decent sized harborage, but, it's a spot
Come on, these are the most detestable people on the planet - make them drink it not dump it in the ocean. No solution yet to a problem they created. So they choose to dump it on the rest of us. It ought to be legal to gun them down en mass until they learn to respect all the rest of us. They are different from us now and they were different then - 1930s -40s. They deserve the worst anyone can do to them.
"these are the most detestable people on the planet"
who?
the jews who discovered how to split the atom?
the Americans who bombed Japan?
GE workers who installed Fukushima?
The world governments who covered up the data?
Who exactly?
the jews who discovered how to split the atom? Cockcroft and Walton discoved how to, neither Jewish however.
Stop this! Did anyone of you by chance ever hear the names of Lise Meitner and Otto Hahn?! Cockroft and Walton my ass ...
Where are all those little green peace fucks. Send their dumb asses over there to save the fishes and bring some of this to light. Especially the one that said his vest stopped a 338 lapua. My ass. Explain to me just exactly how many carbon credits GE shiould buy to pay for radioactively polluting an entire ocean? Won't see that shit talked about by the talking heads on CNN.

I would offer the thought that this is not all bad news. With the proper irradation, we could be dining on shrimp the size of a football, and lobster tails that are the size of a goat.

The Exxon Valdez is old news and is still brought up anytime Exxon, the corporate entity becomes newsworthy. Fukushima is getting the same silent treatment from the US government, the US media and, shamefully, the environemental groups as the BP oilspill. Though BP gets mcuh bad press the real damage to the Gulf is never discussed in any detail. Meanwhile back in the US the administration and the media have a full court press goiing on the dangers of global warming. Anyone ever consider the role that massive amounts of radiation released into the atmosphere by most atomic capable governments has on the environment. Perhaps global warming is real. Perhaps radiation plays a part in the damage but politically it's the evil oil corporations and selfish citizens take the blame in order to justify tax revenue hikes. At this point what once sounded preposterous can no longer be laughed off because too many times the laughable consipracies are revealed to be true on what feels like a daily basis.
Also total media blackout in EUSSR.
Something's fishy.
