Huge Fukushima Cover-Up Exposed, Government Scientists In Meltdown
Submitted by Sean Adl-Tabatabai via InvestmentWatchBlog.com,
Fukushima radiation just off the North American coast is higher now than it has ever been, and government scientists and mainstream press are scrambling to cover-up and downplay the ever-increasing deadly threat that looms for millions of Americans.
Following the March 2011 meltdown at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, reactors have sprayed immeasurable amounts of radioactive material into the air, most of which settled into the Pacific Ocean. A study by the American Geophysical Union has found that radiation levels from Alaska to California have increased and continue to increase since they were last taken.
Naturalnews.com reports:
The highest levels yet of radiation from the disaster were found in a sample taken 2,500 kilometers (approx. 1,550 miles) west of San Francisco.
“Safe” according to whom?
Lead researcher Ken Buesseler of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution was one of the first people to begin monitoring Fukushima radiation in the Pacific Ocean, with his first samples taken three months after the disaster started. In 2014, he launched a citizen monitoring effort – Our Radioactive Ocean – to help collect more data on ocean-borne radioactivity.
The researchers track Fukushima radiation by focusing on the isotope Cesium-134, which has a half-life of only two years. All Cesium-134 in the ocean likely comes from the Fukushima disaster. In contrast, Cesium-137 – also released in huge quantities from Fukushima – has a half-life of 30 years, and persists in the ocean, not just from Fukushima, but also from nuclear tests conducted as far back as the 1950s.
The most recent study added 110 new Cesium-134 samples to the ongoing studies. These samples were an average of 11 Becquerels per cubic meter of sea water, a level 50 percent higher than other samples taken so far.
Instead of presenting the findings as an alarming sign of growing radiation, however, Buesseler emphasizes that the Cesium-134 levels detected are still 500 times lower than the drinking water limits set by the U.S. government. The news site The Big Wobble questions whether Buesseler and Woods Hole’s heavy financial reliance on the U.S. government – Woods Hole has received nearly $8 million in research funding from several government agencies – plays any role in this emphasis.
Situation still worsening
The reality, however, is that radiation along the West Coast is expected to keep getting worse. According to a 2013 study by the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center in Norway, the oceanic radiation plume released by Fukushima is likely to hit the North American West Coast in force in 2017, with levels peaking in 2018. Most of the radioactive material from the disaster is likely to stay concentrated on the western coast through at least 2026.
According to professor Michio Aoyama of Japan’s Fukushima University Institute of Environmental Radioactivity, the amount of radiation from Fukushima that has now reached North America is probably nearly as much as was spread over Japan during the initial disaster.
The recent Woods Hole study also confirmed that radioactive material is still leaking into the Pacific Ocean from the crippled Fukushima plant. Cesium-134 levels off the Japanese coast are between 10 and 100 times higher than those detected off the coast of California.
Without directly challenging the U.S. government’s “safe” radiation limits, Buesseler obliquely references the fact that any radioactive contamination of the ocean is cause for concern.
“Despite the fact that the levels of contamination off our shores remain well below government-established safety limits for human health or to marine life,” he said, “the changing values underscore the need to more closely monitor contamination levels across the Pacific.”

"...a completely irrelevant source of radiation."
Your shill badge is showing.
A totally destroyed reactor is an 'irrelevant source of radiation'.
If that is the case, please be a brave soul and go over there and clean up the mess as apparently, it won't make [you] sick.
11 Bq/m3 in seawater that's 2,500 km away from the west coast IS IRRELEVANT.
Just like the sun, which releases a tremendous amount of radiation is also irrelevant to us on earth. Why aren't you screeching about all the radiation on the sun?
Yet anoher thing for US citizens to irrationaly fear.
I don't think people understand how prevelent radiation is in their daily lives.
Oh wow, 11 Bq/m3 It's going to kill you...... NOT
That's such a trivial amount of radiation it's only mentioned to get the sheeple riled up.
Know what the limit for radiation is in drinking water? 10,000 Bq/m3
Yes that's the new adjusted radiation limit. In 10 years it will be 100,000 Bq/m3. Sadly you will be dead by then. But rejoice. You will be under the limit!!
You must be afraid of your own shadow.
After reading all the comments on this thread, and not knowing the level of detail some of my ZHedgetastic friends do, if this is as serious as some suggest, its time for those of us who are religious to get down on your knees and ask whom ever you pray to for help.
It also shows us the folly of man, the gigantic, bloated, out of control system we called government sacrificing populations rather than admit, just once they got it wrong. They would, obviously save themselves first before admitting we do indeed have a problem on our hands here, if as I said is as munificent as some folk think. And if at this stage, mankind as whole at this point in our 'Evolution', has no known technology to stop these four reactors from further damaging our collective world, just what the fuck do we do?
Bankrupt a nation? No probs mate, no responsibility on no ones half here.
Governmental corruption on an un-fathomable scale? No probs mate, no responsibility here either.
And this one especially, a disaster of proportions hard to comprehend, to effectively boil a fucking kettle??
Get down on your knees folk and pray, if as bad it seems this is, and pray for divine intervention.
Humanity it would seem, has failed us.
:-(
THAT is a very good summary of the situation, mate.
Yes, our greatest enemy is HUMAN NATURE. Our 'worst instincts', including greed, ambition, selfishness, and aggression ... have created a really serious situation on this planet now.
I agree with you. We do need to be getting down on our knees and praying. We are fast running out of time to find positive solutions. It's not a game any more. The countdown for a real crisis exists in this century .. it's not 'some imaginary time in the future'.
There will be no world left for our kids.
As I have stated before, I have no clue why Cesium-XXX (and Strontium) are commonly the only radionuclides reported on from Fukushima. These are just TWO of the THOUSANDS of radionuclides released from the pit of hell over there. It's also funny how the report talks about how the radiation is still "500 times lower then government limits...". Remember, this is the same government that kept RAISING the "safe"limit for radiation as Fukushima unfolded and higher and higher levels of radioactive isotopes were detected off the west coast and in cows milk. The rates kept rising so much, that the EPA shutdown their radiation detectors for a long time until they could be "re-calibrated" to what the NEWLY established safe levels were. And the comment about radiation peaking in a few years..... how so? Last time I checked, the radioactive waste water keeps pouring out of Fukushima on a daily basis, unabated. If they stopped the contamination of the environment 1 year later, sure, there would be a peak and things would slowly subside but there is no end in sight to this disaster. Things are so bad over there, due to laws pasted shortly after the accident, scientists and journalist risk going to prison if they tell the truth! Their scientists (and scientists around the world) acknowledge the fact that the technology to stop this DOES. NOT. EXIST. as of right now and probably won't exist for another couple hundred years. Radiation levels are so high in 2 of those reactors, you'll DIE within minutes after entering them. The reactor cores experienced melt outs! The corium is melting into the ground (and has been since day one) and is mixing with the water table that provides drinking water to Tokyo. Are people in Tokyo and the west coast going to die tomorrow? NOPE! Will there be a marked increase of cancers and genetically damaged fetuses another 10-15 years from now because of this? Yuuuuuuuuuuup! But of course, I'm sure cancers rates will simply not be recorded anywhere when this really takes off because where do these stats come from? The government you say.....well they are always honest with us, right? Do some research on Hanford, WA and the ultra-rare birth defects taking place up there and the cancer rates. This is the fate of people on the west coast.
And all you shills, FUCK OFF AND DIE. No idea how you sleep at night drawing a paycheck from the government for what you do. When the revolution comes, I hope sympathizers like you are some of the first ones hung by the neck until dead.
Ignore one -1, the computer awarded it when I upvoted.
Probably a Diebold computer.
Nah, thats Homeland Security "correcting" the answers for your protection.
Tyler, ZH, When it comes to technical conversations like Fukushima, I would virtually INSIST the bloggers include their technical credentials, so that we may know it they are simply regurgitating (well)researched information, or if they have some hardcore science or engineering skills behind them.
If you've proud of your credential, there's no need to hide them. Lest we thing you're a shill or gasbag.
To get the ball rolling and to not be what I hate -- a hypocryte -- I will disclose that... although I have a B.Sc. and a M.Sc. in Physics (from world class universities, neither in the US), Nuclear Physics is not "my bag". I will therefore avoid making scientifically pretentious comments on this topic.
Instead, I contacted a close friend and former classmate, who is the Lead Nuclear Safety Officer at a nuclear facility (in Europe), whose competence, ethics and credibility is unimpeachable IMO. I provided him the link to this article, and I look forward to hearing back from him. I also urged him to read the Comments, especially those who try to make use of nuclear safety physics. That way I'll know who is Wheat, and who is Chaff. Will keep you posted.
-K out.
WELL, it's only California..WHO CARES ?
ZH is getting sick from too much overblown reporting of radiation from Fukushima.
I believe the radiation levels most likely did increase on the west coast and across the northern hemisphere, considering one of the reactors completely disintegrated into the air as a gas; not sure what happened to the second damaged one. Call me a conspiracy theorist but I believe there are some wanting people to leave California anyway. The drought didn't work? Well, let's scare the bejeebies out of people about radiation now. The worst of it actually happened after the explosion when the radiation went into the air after the complete meltdown of one of the reactors. It's a lready there. As far as ocean currents and if I remember right, didn't the highest levels of radiation already hit the west coast? Just curious.
No reactor "completely disintegrated into the air"
What you saw was the sheet metal building on top of the reactor blowing off becasue hydrogen accumulated within that building and a spark set it off. It had nothing to do with the reactor itself.
What you say is true, but "completely disintigrated into the air" is true also for unit #4.
See: http://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML1212/ML12122A949.pdf (See page 4 of 6 and 5 of 6, which is maybe page 8 in the .pdf) (courtesy of another poster here in ZH)
25% of fuel in one unit, 50% of fuel in another and "100% of fuel in unit four" was released.
True the explosion that was filmed was a hydrogen explosion but especially in unit four the fuel essentially melted, and like boiling water eventually "boiled away."
Unit #4 wasn't operating when the Tsunami hit and there was NO FUEL in the reactor. Although were were spent fuel rods in the pool. Your assumption that 100% of fuel in unit #4 was released is WRONG. It was EMPTY TO START WITH.
Your other assumptions are also wrong.
#4's spent fuel cooling pool was filled when it blew, knocking it's building so that it is leaning.
You are a liar and your lies are clearly transparent.
If I could gut you like the pig you are, I would, scumbag.
Lies? Hahahahhahahhahahahaha You must have been dropped on your head when you were young.
When you resort to insults, you have lost the argument and all credibility.
Jesus fucking Christ, maybe I should write this with a Crayon.
Unit 4 fuel pools were filled to capacity with HOT fuel rod assemblies!! The tsunami knocked out all electrical power, which by the way runs the cooling pumps which cools the HOT fuel rod assemblies!!
The cooling water boiled off!!!
The HOT fuel rod assemblies caught fire and some say went critical. This video shows the fire/criticality, see that pillar of light above? moving slowly to the right? That's Pu-239 ionized channel radiation, SKYSHINE.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWKetCEFS2o
Depleted fuel rods can't "go critical". They are still a little hot radioactively for a few years, but there are called DEPLETED for a reason.
Surrounded by morons.
They are thermally hot enough that they can burn.They keep them in water for a reason.Fresh from the reactor they are very hot thermally and radioactive as hell.Lots of nasty isotopes with short half lives in "spent" fuel.Americium 241 is one of them.It is a really hot alpha emitter you do NOT want to inhale!Plutonium too...
Uranium burns very readily.And the smoke from burning fuel rods has lots of other great ingredients too!
It should be mentioned the chemical toxicity is extreme as well.Ingesting heavy metals is not good for you.
If you are ignorant about how fuel storage pond fires can occur google is your pal...burning fuel ponds=super disaster.
Unit 4 fuel blob melt out @ 1:23
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV_r5Ifp8-I
Pool integrity...not so much!
It is amazing how this has been spun since...
Is it by the hole in the wall on top of a pipe?
Yes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBwrZrx-ewM
The fuel rods and zirconium cladding were pulverized to dust that's now detected all over Japan. The rods were INSIDE the reactor. Get your facts straight. The reactor blew.
climate change is our greatest threat
climate change is one problem. but it is NOT our greatest threat. The greatest threat is OVERPOPULATION. The rapid increase in global population levels is creating a whole series of problems that are growing exponentially .... resource depletion, increasing pollution, major challenges for energy supplies and transportation, habitat destruction and the extinction of many biological species, climate change, competition amongst nations for critical resources, increasing risk of new disease epidemics, and WAR!
It's the whole combination of factors that is the problem. Climate Change is only one piece of the puzzle.
Running out of phosphorus is a bigger problem.
No food no life. Maybe have 30-50 yrs from best specs. Funny no one "sensationalized" this. Nitrogen/phosphate/phosphorus makes the plants grow.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_phosphorus
No. Politicians who enable bankers to steal money to fight an imaginary bogeyman are our greatest threat. All the money in the world won't alter the variance in heat output from the sun. Vote for climate change. Vote for poverty I take it you can't wait to spend $200 filling your Smart car The projections are for carbon trading to be larger than the current energy markets. Fuck some humans are so fucking dumb.
"The government would lie about radiation dangers? - not possible ... (sarc off)"
(says someone who knows family members and friends who were experimented on by the U.S. government)
"(says someone who knows family members and friends who were experimented on by the U.S. government)"
I think everyone in this country is being experimented on on a daily basis and knows pretty much what the .gov is up to. Hard to wake up someone pretending to be asleep, ain't it?
Is this First Blood?
Article states "Cesium-134 500 times less than drinking water standards", however Code of Federal Regulations 12AC5-590 sets federal limits of 15pCi/L for gross alpha and 5pCi/L for combined Radium, with no mention of Cesium. Articles like this need to give specifics in order to have credibility.
When they invented the atom bomb, they killed everyone.
It's just taking a long time, that's all.
It's irrelevant to measure the actual amount of Cesium, or any other radioactive particle. What they measure is the amount of radiation being emitted.
The U.S. government has found - through much experience- that it functions best by reacting rather than being proactive. ;-)
It is always easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.
The 'Force Awakens' - After the nuclear power plants built by the dinosaurs exploded and melted down (scientists see the evidence in the K-T layer but mistakingly attribute it to a meteor) - and wiped out the dinosaurs, only a few small reptiles and mammals remained. However, the excessive levels of radiation gave rise to accelerated evolution and species creation. Since we have destroyed many species today, 'The Force' is simply trying to restore the balance and create more.
Hey - if people believe the United States causes global warming - why can't they believe my dinosaur story?
Makes about as much sense as worshiping a zombie named Josh.
- May I have one of your pamphlets?
Forget pamphlets.
How much does it cost to join?
Several readers have mentioned that the sources of radioactivity need to be documented in more detail. This is absolutely true. There are alpha-emitters, beta-emitters and gamma-emitters. Scientists are certainly able to determine which isotopes are active in the seawater - and the marine life - and tell the public the exact truth. THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE.
Although this article focuses on North America, the people who really need to know - are the citizens of Japan. Fukushima is dumping high levels of radioactive water directly into the sea near the reactor site. At the place where this is happening the radioactivity is much higher than acceptable limits for safety. Of course, the radioactive species get diluted when they are injected into the Pacific Ocean.
You can be pretty sure that the Japanese Government and responsible scientists in Japan have studied this in detail. Japan relies heavily on fish for protein. They can't ignore a threat like this. There are probably major studies underway where Japanese scientists are measuring the radioactivity data. BUT THEY ARE NOT BEING RELEASED.
Japan and the USA owe the public the truth. This is a global health issue. The world has the resources, and the smart scientists, to be able to investigate what is exactly is happening. This needs to be done, and it needs to be made public.
Most people will not release data which conflicts with their academic peer reviewed journals.
Doing so is essentially career suicide. The thing is that alpha radiation is cumulative, symptoms mimic known diseases and it is easily dismissed by the medical world.
For those living on the west coast (or Northern Hemisphere for that matter) perhaps look up chelation, zeolites and algae clenses (ingestion of specific algaes was used as a chelation system after Chernobyl) as solutions to helping keep your body clean.
One site providing links to Fukushima and other releases since 2011 is:
http://rense.com/
Say what you will, but no one else has compiled Fukushima news like Jeff Rense.
He has had help from the acclaimed researcher Yoichi Shimatsu
At night I betcha Sarah Palin can see Japan from her house!
There's really only one word that need be remembered in this thread, Cumlative Radioactive Isotopes.
I would guess you still get more radiation from natural things within the planet. The radiation certainly should be monitored but to play on fear is like what the global warming crowd does (or I mean climate change).
I have close friends in Fukushima. Cancer rates through the roof. Doctors muzzled. Cleanup ineffective.Looks like your dream came true. Congrats.

They say it's a toxin but it is difficult at best to believe anything anymore. Mutation????
the article said the toxin is the result of warmer waters but like all west coast fisheries they were probably played out years ago. the water temp in SO cal was ten to fifteen degrees higher than normal all summer. the jet stream currently is a farther north than predicted for the big El Nino, which means the middle part of CA and through the upper midwest. since the heaviest atomic particles tend to sink i just wonder what the problem is, if they settle in the middle of the Northern Pacific there is no fishing to mention there. its a made to order toxic waste dump.
Japan radiated some folks.
U R FU KING brilyant
What's the big deal radiated tuna means bigger fish so we're creating more food for everyone. Mutation smutation just put ketchup on your mcfish sandwich
Fucking idiot. Look up deformed children of Belarus. They were away from the Chernobyl reactor but we're deformed by the food.
I am not a fan of nuclear accidents, government cover-up, and retards being in charge of things, but I also abhor sensationalism and propaganda. Which was a bigger disaster, Fukushima or Chernobyl? Answer: Chernobyl. How come the population of Moscow was not wiped out? It is downwind. With regard to Fukushima, the Pacific Ocean is a BIG place.
Both were terrible disasters that we need to learn from, but don't us proles have more important things to be worried about? This is the same reason I don't get all worked up about the topic/theory of AGW. We need to be worried about the sinister folks pulling the strings of this macabre production we all find ourselves in as "extras".
Fukushima has released the equivalent of more than 1000 Hiroshima 's. Do your research before spamming here.
I compared it Chernobyl dip shit and I am not spamming, but it seems like you are. I will match my understanding of the natural world with yours any day.
Ok smart-ass. If nuke power is so great then why will Noone insure the plants? Coal, gas, hydro power plants are insurable. You blindly think they are the same?Now Fuck off you dummy.
I never said nuclear power was great, now did I troll?
So if I picked up the phone and called Tokyo, are you saying no one would answer? They are 150 miles away from Fukushima and San Fransisco is 5,000 miles away.
Again, it is a horrible tragedy, but why should it be the HUGE concern for California that you would like to make it out to be?
A nuclear bomb and a release or dangerous radiation are two separate things. Tens of thousands of cleanup workers are dead. The Israeli mafia runs the show. Do yourself a favor and research this. My company sold a product that removes 66% of Cesium from the body. Living on the West coast w3 can detect the difference of radiation in the body before and after this medicine. Japanese are dying if cancer all over Fukushima If you actually cared you could research the increase in heart attacks and various cancers like thyroid over 60% higher than baseline. Tens of millions will die. That's what a bomb does but this process takes longer. No go do your homework.
Ass...le. Stop it.
Radiation kills you slowly, and your kids, and your grankids, for generations. See Belarus, Ukraine:
"Today in Ukraine, 6,000 children are born every year with genetic heart defects. More than 3,000 will die for lack of medical attention.

I have this dear friend of mine downhere. They came from Pripiat soon after Chernobyl nuclear disaster, with little daughter and son.
She just had her first grandson, which is autistic.

Too bad people smarter than you disagree.

I swear, one side effect of radiation makes prople stupid.
That has also been proven.
That's why pro nukers are such asshats and eternal skeptics of reality.
That and their paycheck/investment get in the way of their conscience, what little there is, really.
There are pro-nukers as you say and also the greenpeace crowd, both types can be found to leach off society when it suits them. Both can use propaganda.
Pro nukers fleece the nation and irradiate the planet.
Green peace, affiliated with the .fedgov is not even close to that.
I think France sunk their boat and killed a guy tho when try were against the French nuking the pacific.
So that makes you incorrect in your half assed assumption.
"I swear, one side effect of radiation makes people stupid."
Completely explains most everyone's acceptance that kerosene melts hardened steel, all the global warmers and those safe space idiots in universities,,, and much more...
You may be on to something!!!
It's hardly a new theory.

WTF is your problem?? These 'news' are from 2013, 2011..radiation on west coast is still only elevated against low background noise. So why the fearmongering?
The fear mongering is to give the majority of the loons in this forum their daily dose of fear so they can keep stoking their levels of irrational paranoia.

500x less than dangerous isn't shit. No story here.
The first nuclear war occurred in Indian. They had flying carpets and everything. We were almost wiped off the face of the Earth and we lost all technical knowledge. We'll survive this war too.
If you want to live in fear from articles like this, nothing can stop you. If you want to learn how radiation actually works, and make your own decisions, here are some starting points.
The article references 11 becquerel per cubic meter. That's a low number. The normal potassium in your body decays at 4,400 becquerel.
Another measure of radiation is the sievert. Measures are typically expressed as micosieverts (uSv), millisieverts (mSv) and sieverts (Sv). To understand how this works in the real world, check out this chart. If you like the charts on ZH which show debt as stacks of money in trucks and next to the Empire State Building, then this chart might work for you.
Extra radiation dose in Tokyo in weeks after Fukushima: 40 microSv. Solar radiation from a flight from LA to New York: 40 microSv. Living in a concrete building for a year: 70 microSv. Two weeks of exposure in Fukushima town hall after the accident: 100 microSV. Natural human background radiation exposure for a year, plus any typical medical scans: 4,000 microSv. Max yearly radiation worker legal limit (miner or control room operator): 50,000 microSv. Big numbers and big increases sound scary, but you need to know what they mean to avoid the sheeple disease: https://xkcd.com/radiation/
And for fun, here's what happens to you if you swim in a nuclear spent fuel pool (tip - bring a bp vest): https://what-if.xkcd.com/29/
Right troll. Thats why the marine life is so decimated. So sick of all these "radiation is safe" trolls. Alpha is different than gamma. Quite a bit of what was released is plutonium and uranium, plus other very exotic isotopes with half lifes over 100,000 years. Best part is if you breathe one of these particles in you are toast. This is real. Its an extinction level event.
I am sure it has been said, but need to be said again. Since lots of people are saying its no big deal. All you purportedly high I.Q. types need to help us purported low I.Q. fear mongers in a comparison. Pretty please. we are dumb.

In that case they turned a 1450 mile long river, 27.4 km3 annual run off volume orange with non radioactive materials for several months. This story made the front page for days on international MSM.
compare to
The current article discusses how fukishima, and fukishima alone has raised the base level of man-made radiation for the entire 63,780,000 square mile Pacific ocean. 660,000,000 km^3 of water. over a period of 4 years. with no possibility of dissipating 'till the half lives expire. The fukishima stories like this one only make "fear monger" places like zerohedge.
Pretty please.I want to be smart and feel good that I paid taxes my entire life to subsidize the nuclear industry. If you smart people help us dumb people get smarter, we can make even more moar and give moar taxes to them.

mr einstein said ww4 will be fought with sticks and stones by a few
I was told long ago if you didn't have a really active spiritual life that you won't make it through this chaotic time.
Consider studying evolutionary astrology.
It explains why we are here, where we have been in past lives and how best to move forward.
I believe I have lived many lifetimes on other planets and I had to come back here for some clean up
work, which is why as a child I felt repelled by this society. I have Pluto 12th and they say that the life will be strange. It has, filled with synchronicity and people
or signs showing up for me. I am totally committed to the truth, and when you are there assistance
from the universe is offered in the most magical way.
don't be unhappy, move forward in each day.
I got divorced in the late 90s and I was 40.
I said to myself that I was going to do everything I could to heal myself so that I would never have
to go through that again. All I did was read for about 10 yrs, many topics but mostly evolutionary astrology
because I needed an answer for why. What you come out with is the word victim is removed, because we asked
for this. To be born in this time in this situation for our own growth.
Something very evil is going on and it is trying to draw everyone in, don't take the bait.
Stay on your own mat, evil does not win in the long run because it has extreme limitations.
.....and no one has called you a fuckin' crackpot to your face yet?
Allow me the pleasure to be the first :)
Are you scared because I said you have extreme limitations?
You do.
Now go away from me.
Stay on your own mat, evil does not win in the long run because it has extreme limitations.
The limitation is that evil always turns on itself once it consumes the weak and innocent.
For example: Evil runs away like a post 9/11 Iraqi (US trained) military officer sitting in an M1 Abrams when confronted with 20 year old dudes driving 2015 toyotas, rocking air jordans and black jumps suits, blazing 3 Meter ISIS flags rolling from town to town capturing oil wells owned by western mega corporations who are also too weak to fight.
As you stated. We did ask for things occuring around us. Infact, we subsidize it with our taxes.
I can't remember when I didn't exist.
What I would like to know is what the fuck happened to this website. The page layout is screwed up. It happened within the last 3 hours...
Between this heating the ocean up for a super el-nino, and the methane leak in California, I guess global warming WILL be upon us. Good thing we signed that agreement...............
Well, you can't say "The Big Wobble" doesn't live up to its name.
Instead of presenting the findings as an alarming sign of growing radiation, however, Buesseler emphasizes that the Cesium-134 levels detected are still 500 times lower than the drinking water limits set by the U.S. government. The news site The Big Wobble questions whether Buesseler and Woods Hole’s heavy financial reliance on the U.S. government – Woods Hole has received nearly $8 million in research funding from several government agencies – plays any role in this emphasis.
So everybody's relying on Buesseler's data, right up until he fails to sound an alarm for a catastrophe of biblical proportions. Then it's time for a little ad hominem attack. Jeez, talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
Pointing out that the levels are 500 times lower than safe drinking water isn't a matter of "emphasis," it's a matter of pointing out a gap as expansive as the Grand Canyon.
but...but... there's Global Warming ... and Nuclear is Green they are trying to say
so far, no takers

It's both the Japanese and US government censoring any media info.
1 Use force to create problems that threaten national/global security.
2 Convince judges that national security will be threatened if the information about the threats to national security is availible to the subjects.
3 The subjects accept that 1 + 2 = 3. They decide they don't really need to be involved in the original problem. Even though some of them are probably capable of fixing it. Just pay your taxes.
Even if they did, it would just go back to 1 and waste all that energy.
Statism. Its the best form of government. Because it is the only form of government.
Geiger counters are worthless barbarous relics and should be outlawed.
This article is just scare tactics. Tyler should stick to finance instead of being taken in by people like the author. there is a note by DJCandi that is better than I can do. The west coast is fine. The area in Japan is another story but this article is focuse on another non issue for California.

To support your assertation, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, seek out Northern Pacific fish products and eat them in abundance. Eat them every day. Sometime soon, your actions will make the earth a cleaner place by your erasure from the gene pool via cancer.
Take my advice and put your words where your mouth is and EAT MORE PACIFIC FISH!
Retards never get it. That why libtards are destroying western culture. Full Spectrum Retardedness is the new fashion trend it seems......
What a troll. Next he'll tell you alpha radiation is important for a healthy endocrine system and mercury is important for a toddlers brain development.
make the fuckers who caused this shit live right next to it until its fixed.
I just realized my local supermarket has been pushing the Pacific Cod lately ...
Mrs Vigor threw some frozen North Pacific cod in the shopping cart a month ago...I threw them back.
They have a lot of wild Alaskan smoked salmon in the supermarkets here in Switzerland, as well as European stuff, of course. It's very competitively priced! I tend to buy the organic farmed stuff from Ireland..
There's a cattle rancher with 10s of cattle 15 kilometers from Fukishima. He's doing fine.
walmart has a special on glow in the dark steaks.
He's 58 and he is in good health. His cattle are not doing so well, they have lost hair and have strange growths on their head, but he refuses to slaughter them or leave the area.

Aren't there 3 coriums that have breached their containment vessels? 257 tons of irremediable, unfathomalble, death and destruction.
According to the pro nuclear lobby there is no evidence the corium has left the containment vessel. Maybe it was an old video. I'd swim in a containment pool if it was full of spent fuel as long as it was full of water.
Denizens of the earth refuse to go quietly into the night. Are they fighting back?
Human activities, overpopulation and resource abuse, due to ever increasing demand are killing life on this plant. Resource extraction, groundwater depletion, ever expanding mono-culture and mans attempts to wipe out diversity on this planet is going has precipitated the sixth planet wide extinction; this will culminate in the near or possibly the total extinction of the human population.
Anyone see the pattern in the following list of snippets from the internet?
Disease-causing bacteria isn't the only place where humans are fighting a losing battle against rapid evolution: Farmers across the country are increasingly finding it difficult to kill "super weeds" as they become resistant to the most popular herbicides.
The price of olive oil is expected to rocket as forestry officials in southern Italy yesterday began cutting down thousands of olive trees infected with a deadly bacteria.
The xylella fastidiosa bacteria has ravaged olive trees in the Puglia region and contributed to a 35 percent drop in the region's olive oil production last year.
Its spread has so alarmed the EU that France announced a boycott of Puglian fruit and vegetables, while its effect on production will mean shortages in the supply of olive oil and is likely to lead to higher prices for shoppers in Britain and around the world.

According to Scientific American, strains of a particular soil fungus -- Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense, or Foc -- have struck a key variety of banana grown for export in Mozambique and Jordan. Scientists fear that if the banana fungus spreads further, the popular Cavendish banana could become critically threatened.
The fungus, which has been found on several plantations, causes the incurable Panama disease, or Fusarium wilt, that rots bananas. In the 1950s, another strain of the banana fungus nearly wiped out the Gros Michel cultivar, once as common as the Cavendish variety.
Florida orange groves are infected by the Asian citrus psyllid, a tiny bug that carries a bacteria which attacks a tree's vascular system, eventually killing it.

According to the CDC Antibiotic resistance is a quickly growing, extremely dangerous problem. World health leaders have described antibiotic-resistant bacteria as "nightmare bacteria" that "pose a catastrophic threat" to people in every country in the world.

This is proof of Putin's advance planning. He was behind Fukushima to hit the Americans just when Syria, Turkey, Iraq and Afghanistan were going down the tubes. This will undermine dollar hegemony and pave the way for a Russia/China centric world. It's all so obvious now...
please do show us your proof, cretin

Then there's hope for uncovering Hillary's lies ?
I'd rather watch Russian TV .... than rioting niggers in Ferguson and Baltimore .... said without racial malice .... racial preference and cultural issues .... perhaps ?
Anyone and everyone that has a hand in covering up the facts related to this disaster, should be:
Put in prison for life
or
Executed in public squares all over the world
There is no other rational soluntion.
Obviously, the one man speaking the truth about Fukushima was right. Everyone on the west coast of the US would be dead in seven days. Not a single person west of the rockies is alive. Anyone that tells you otherwise is a liar trying to hide THE TRUTH from you.
Reality: our instruments are really sensitive

What planet are you on? The Pacific Ocean is a dead zone. That has occurred since 2011 and nobody predicted as you say, however the worst precictions have proven to have been optimistic so far so we really are in very big trouble sunshine.
up to this minute, they still dump millions of gallons of waste into the Pacific daily-I guess that the EPA/NRC will just keep raising the "safe" levels for humans until they are equal to the inside of the plants-no kidding-THAT is how Beaurocrats/Industry insiders think...."just think positive and smile-and you will be safe from all radiation"-Mayor of Tokyo
