FACTupdate: Fuck-U-Shima and the matrix of lies

Nuclear power “too cheap to meter”!

Gentle reader, please do not take offence at the forcefulness of our language. We are not often called to vulgarity but in extreme duress. This is precisely the attitude the greedy nuclear industry and their money-hungry political cronies in many countries, including Thailand, have for all the rest of us: “Fuck you!”

There is no escape from the critical chain reaction for our planet which began at Fukushima on March 11, 2011 − 311. Fukushima will be written in our histories as the Hiroshima of our generation long after there is anyone left to read them.

On April 12, Japan’s nuclear safety agency raised the Fukushima meltdown to level 7, the highest category on the International Nuclear Event Scale. Level 7 was created expressly for the Chernobyl disaster, consisting of “a major release of radiation with widespread health and environmental impact”.

A recent study was prepared for Greenpeace Germany by international nuclear safety expert Dr. Helmut Hirsch. Dr. Hirsch’s assessment, based on data published by the French government’s radiation protection agency (IRSN) and the Austrian government’s Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics (ZAMG) found that the total amount of unstable radionuclides Iodine-131 and Caesium-137 released between March 11 and March 23 has been so high that the Fukushima crisis already equates to three INES 7 incidents.

Release of radiation from the stricken reactors has reached 10,000 teraBequerels (10,000 trillionBequerels) per hour, measured for radioactive Iodine-131. Radioctive caesium is being carried by the jetstream around the planet at precipitation levels. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvMOvMK_jQA as of April 13.

Radiation in milk in Hawaii is now at least 2,033% above Federal drinking water safety limits. The US safety limit is 3 pCi/l (picoCuries per litre). Note this is the minimum percentage found over EPA requirements. This figure is reached by adding together the Caesium-134 (800%); −137 (633%); and Iodine-131 (600%) levels found in milk. http://theintelhub.com/2011/04/11/japan-nuclear-radiation-in-hawaii-milk-2033-above-federal-drinking-water-limits/. It should be noted the testing was performed on samples of organic milk.

Increased radiation has been reported in the municipal drinking water of at least 14 US cities. These are not restricted to the west coast of North America but have occurred in the US midwest and east coast. Where measured, rainwater in every US state and Canadian province have elevated radioactivity. In California, Geiger counter activity has trebled, from 7.5 to 22.5 clicks per minute.

Rainwater samples taken in San Francisco April 6 measured an increase of 18,100% above Federal safety standards and included measures of radioactive caesium and Tellurium-132. The west coast Canadian city of Vancouver ordered suspended all mobile radiation testing until further notice after levels of 10,000% safe levels of Iodine-131 were detected. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency refused to test British Columbia milk for radioactivity.

Many countries have already banned the import of fresh vegetables from Japan. But what about the radioactive rain falling on your produce? Goodbye leafy greens.

This April 13 map shows the locations of North American radiation monitors. Readers report many previously active monitors are missing from west coast locations and no longer reporting.

On April 4, Japanese government also has requested the Japan Meteorological Society and Japanese universities not to release data from radiation measurement to avoid “public panic”. Rainwater samples have all demonstrated elevated concentrations of radioactive Tellurium-02, Ruthenium-04 and Technetium-04.

280 sensors to measure radiation release from atomic bomb testing were established worldwide under the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1996. These sensors are detecting levels equivalent to Chernobyl releases. One scientist, Gerhard Wotawa, noted, “I’ve never seen data like this in my career.”

So how do we deal with disaster? Austria, Germany, Canada and Australia have banned 11 episodes of Matt Groening’s US anime series, The Simpsons, which deal with nuclear crisis. The Simpsons, now in its 24th season with 480 episodes, has been one of the few commercial outlets to show the greed of nuclear operators, grovelling toadies in the industry and a complacent public to a mainstream television audience. Meltdowns caused by jelly doughnuts! See http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Springfield_Nuclear_Power_Plant

Kopp Online, Xander News and other non-English news agencies are reporting that the EU implemented a secret “emergency” order without informing the public which increases the amount of radiation permitted in food by up to 20 times previous food safety standards.

According to EU bylaws radiation limits may be raised during a nuclear emergency to prevent food shortages. http://blog.alexanderhiggins.com/2011/04/03/eu-secretly-implements-large-increases-food-radiation-limits-informing-public-13636/

Japan itself has now restricted rice planting in soil with more than 5,000 Becquerels per kilogram of radioactive caesium, the first time maximum radiation levels have been set for soil anywhere. The Fukushima prefectural government announced on April 6 that rice paddies 20-30 kilometers from the nuclear plant have shown as much as 15,031 Becquerels per kilogram of radioactive caesium. Goodbye ricebowl, staple protein for half the world’s population.

It would appear TEPCO dumped 11,500 tons of radioactive runoff into the ocean, 100 times the permissible amount. Although the diplomatic corps was informed beforehand and the Japanese foreign minister stated the release does not violate international law, Iodine-131 was found in seawater at 7.5 million times and radioactive Caesium at 1.1 million times the legal limit. TEPCO has announced 60,000 tons of radioactive water remain, nearly 57 million litres.

In fact, such dumping clearly violates 1972 international law, the ”Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter”. As Natural News puts it, “Fukushima has become the dirty bomb of the Pacific.”

Fish in nearby waters are now being measured at 4,000% above the Codex Alimentarius limits for Iodine-131 and 447% of Caesium-137. Radioactive caesium has a half-life of 30 years. Radiation levels for the isotope are not considered “safe”  for 10 to 20 times longer. The caesium released today will remain dangerous six centuries from now.

When one takes into account the conveyor currents of the north Pacific, all seafood will become contaminated. Radioactive seaweed has been found in Puget Sound. Goodbye, sushi!

We’re poisoning the mother of all life on Earth.

The nuclear operator has offered $12 each in compensation to nearby residents. This paltry offer was refused. Economists at Tyler Durden have reported an inevitable economic collapse for Japan following a plunge from 52.9 to 46.4 in private mortgage insurance. What will bankruptcy of a financial linch-pin to the world economy mean to all the rest of us?

However, what we’re seeing, according to the American NGO Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility is the application of new standards which will drastically raise the levels of radiation allowed in food, water, air and the general environment. Access to internal US Environmental Protection Agency communications has revealed a 1,000% increase for exposure to Strontium-90; a 3,000-100,000% rise for Iodine-131; a 25,000% rise for Nickel-63 in drinking water.

Any radiation has no safety threshold for human exposure and the EPA’s own numbers state that 25% of people exposed to these “new acceptable levels” would develop cancers. The EPA is not required to make its deliberations public or debated by Congress; all that is required to make this Federal regulation is simple publication of the changes in the US government gazette, the Federal Register. http://www.collapsenet.com/free-resources/collapsenet-public-access/item/723-fallout

This is being accomplished, of course, to protect the nuclear lobby and its stakeholders from threats to its financial health.

Emails of protest may be sent to Lisa P. Jackson, EPA Administrator, jackson.lisap@epa.gov before this becomes reality. Sara DeCair, a health physicist with the EPA’s Office of Radiation and Indoor Air closed her memo of recommendation for updated standards with a smiley and the note, “No rest for the wicked.” Indeed. She should be sacked, decair.sara@epa.gov.

In addition to cancers, any radiation exposure correlates to an increase in immune system disorders. Thyroid diseases, diabetes, asthma, AIDS, hepatitis, multiple sclerosis, myalgic encephalomyelitis and a huge spectrum of non-specific neurological conditions are expected in the human population. Radioactive iodine attacks thyroid function while radioactive caesium mimics potassium uptake.

The ‘Petkau effect’ for ingestion of radioactive beta and alpha particles, discovered by Atomic Energy of Canada scientist Dr. Abram Petkau in 1972, draws ominous conclusions for human exposure. Dr. Petkau found that low doses of ionising radiation are actually more efficient at disrupting human cell activity. Pet cows with radioactive udders. Goodbye, dairy.

Uranium-234, previously unreported, has been detected in Hawaii, southern California and Seattle. This is likely to be a product of the alpha decay of the Plutonium-238 found in the Fukushima reactors’ MOX fuel but Plutonium-238, −239 and −240 have already been released into the atmosphere at Fukushima. Uranium-234 has a half-life 245,500 years, which means that radioactivity will be detectable for half a million years. There will certainly be no people to measure it! South Korea closed 130 schools starting April 7 due to radioactive rain at levels only 1/10 of California’s.

A further Richter 7.1 aftershock on April 8 in Japan, the largest since the March 11 9.0 earthquake, negatively affected at least a further five Japanese nuclear power facilities to varying degrees but some with loss of power. The epicentre of an April 12 6.0 aftershock was just beneath the Fukushima nuclear plant. Will Japan become a new Atlantis?

International shipping has also already been affected with many shipping lines avoiding Japan to prevent radioactive contamination. However, further reports indicate that some irradiated ships have been found in European ports. Japanese cars imported into Russia have been found to have high levels of radiation.

Some scientists have already declared northern Japan, including Tokyo, uninhabitable and recommended its evacuation. Radiation in Tokyo has been doubling every day since March 11. Video report: http://vimeo.com/22003275 and http://vimeo.com/22003021. Evacuated to where, exactly?

Fire at Fukushima No. 1 April 12. Note the smoke, note the proximity of the ocean. Move along: Nothing to see here, folks. It’s all under control…

On March 15, Germany bowed to enormous public protest and announced it will continue to phase out nuclear power and shut down, temporarily, seven of its oldest reactors. However, the final shutdown is not planned until 2020.

On April 12, China announced it was suspending all nuclear construction for 20 months, until December 2012. China had been expected to become the world’s largest user of nuclear power, supporting 40% of new development.

Thank you, but this is both too little and, obviously, too late. Nuclear power must be legislated out of existence now or the robber barons and their politician friends will just be waiting until we get lazy and forget, again.

Noah comments: The 311 event is an altogether new category, level 8. When the reactor contents in molten state melt through to ground water, the explosive hydrogen gas produced will cause a continuous series of mini-explosions, forcing radioactive plumes to rise miles into the atmosphere. The explosions will continue until all the fuel is spent. This process will take decades to complete based upon the sheer volume of fuel present at the site.

Given the circumstance, considering all known facts as revealed just on this website alone, what is underway today is unstoppable. The full spectrum of isotopes recently found in pine needles in Vietnam gives insight into what is to come for the entire Northern Hemisphere for decades to come.

All remedial actions now underway (mainly pumping water in with hoses) have only slowed the ultimate outcome. Thanks to the brave souls who have given their lives and health to buy their nation and the world some time to prepare for a new way of life.

67Mopar comments: Chernobyl had 180 tons of fuel on-site. Fukushima has over 1,724 tons on-site. They can call this a “Level 7″ all day long… Simple multiplication dictates that this is 10 times worse than Chernobyl.

And here we were all worried about a nuclear war!

********

 Cee comments: All these people complaining. We were all going to die anyway. Why? Because people are dumb as hell, that’s why. Humans can create, something that the lower animals cannot, but we cannot seem to stop shitting where we eat.

A dog or cat can do that, but a person can’t. Every human being is guilty of this, just at different scales. Yeah, I’m talking about you and me.

Fake “gods”. Fake “leaders”. Fake “science”. Fake “education”. People deep down inside know this shit is fake but they keep going along with it. The destiny of man is self destruction, because we are fucking stupid.

I hear people talking about the “elite”. This is human nature. You get rid of one group of “elites”, the next one will do this same stupid shit and people will still be stupid and go along with it.

Stupid, stupid stupid. Stupid.

********

Don’t you feel stupid? We’ve bought the corporate military lie hook, line and sinker. It took a nuclear bomb to wake us up.

Meltdown physics: Rock melts at 315°−649° Celsius (600°−1,200° Fahrenheit) depending on the rock; that’s how our volcanic planet was created. Concrete melts at somewhat lower temperatures but is only safety-rated to around 200° C (392° F) before breakdown.

However, the Fukushima reactor cores and likely the fuel storage pools have now reached the melt temperature of the uranium dioxide fuel—2,865° C (5,189° F). This means there is no possibility of containing the reactors using cement for entombment—cement would simply flow like lava. http://modernsurvivalblog.com/nuclear/nuclear-fuel-rod-meltdown-demonstration/ When molten fuel and concrete combine, it becomes ‘corium’ beginning the ‘China syndrome’ effect.

Fukushima will require a containment method not invented yet. How long might this take to implement?

We’re seeing a conspiracy of silence and spin from conventional corporate news media. The lords of greed are doing a way better job of nuclear terrorism than we ever might have expected of fundamentalist insurgents. People are starting to call Fukushima 311, a la 9-11. The latest generation of robber barons has stolen our future.

Coming attractions

Nuclear power is nothing less than a weapon of mass destruction. We are witnessing the beginning of a nuclear war against humanity, one which we may not survive.

No nukes for Thailand—no way!
