Fukushima


 The Fukushima Nuclear Disaster Is Far From Over
Spent reactor fuel, containing roughly 85 times more long-lived radioactivity than released at Chernobyl, still sits in pools vulnerable to earthquakes.
More than a year after the Fukushima nuclear power disaster began, the news media is just beginning to grasp that the dangers to Japan and the rest of the world are far from over. After repeated warnings by former senior Japanese officials, nuclear experts, and now a U.S. senator, it's sinking in that the irradiated nuclear fuel stored in spent fuel pools amidst the reactor ruins pose far greater dangers than the molten cores. This is why:

• Nearly all of the 10,893 spent fuel assemblies sit in pools vulnerable to future earthquakes, with roughly 85 times more long-lived radioactivity than released at Chernobyl
• Several pools are 100 feet above the ground and are completely open to the atmosphere because the reactor buildings were demolished by explosions. The pools could possibly topple or collapse from structural damage coupled with another powerful earthquake.
• The loss of water exposing the spent fuel will result in overheating and can cause melting and ignite its zirconium metal cladding resulting in a fire that could deposit large amounts of radioactive materials over hundreds, if not thousands of miles.
This was not lost on Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), who after visiting the site on April 6, wrote to Japan's U.S. ambassador, Ichiro Fujusaki, that "loss of containment in any of these pools... could result an even larger release of radiation than the nuclear accident."

The urgency of the situation is underscored by the ongoing seismic activity where 13 earthquakes of magnitude 4.0-5.7 have occurred off the northeast coast of Japan between April 14 and 17. This has been the norm since the first quake and tsunami hit the Dai-Ichi site on March 11 of last year. Larger quakes are expected closer to the power plant.
Spent nuclear fuel is extraordinarily radioactive and must be handled with great care. In a matter of seconds, an unprotected person one foot away from a single freshly removed spent fuel assembly would receive a lethal dose of radiation within seconds. As one of the most dangerous materials on the planet, spent reactor fuel requires permanent geological isolation to protect humans for thousands of years.

Agenda



First of all, it hits you hard. Right in the heart. Your family is at stake, humanity is at stake. We’re being relentlessly attacked by some unidentified force and we’re reeling, with not a lot to stand on.
Our planet’s resources are being polluted faster than we can identify. Everything we just years ago held dear and tried to naturally defend has been so drastically altered it’s beyond identification or comprehension.
And we scream as if in a nightmare with no one listening.
The Gulf of Mexico and virtually the entire Pacific ocean have just been killed. Murdered. The skies are being poisoned to incredible degrees, killing our plants, animals and fellow humans.
I like to believe in life’s regenerative processes, but we’re talking long term. Long after your kids and grand kids have  had to endure the horrors of a mutated world, if they live that long.
These fuckers are playing for keeps. And people better wake the hell up to that fact.
These earth changes, and so-called scientific and social changes that are obviously engineered, clearly have an agenda.

What Agenda Might this Be?
    WHY would the elites dig a super underground vault to store seeds from all over the planet while introducing genetically modified seeds growing food they themselves won’t touch?
    WHY have they built secret underground bases?–that aren’t so secret if you poke around a bit.
    WHY is the world not told a single fact about the Fukushima radiation readings, and the EPA monitors get shut off and standards recalibrated?…while the media black out continues?
    WHY is questioning water fluoridation considered cult science while multiple millions drink the toxic industrial byproduct yet European countries throw the process off?
    WHY are they pushing vaccines so hard when they’ve been proven to maim children and adults?
    WHY is cellphone and other EMF technology deliberately set at the range of our brain frequency when it could have been outside that?
    WHY is the banking system getting off scott free when everyone knows they engineered this economic mess?
    WHY is war on terror so accepted when it was based on a staged false premise–a clearly government induced false flag millions identify?
    WHY is the education system spewing out dumber and dumber kids while more money is poured in to this fruitless endeavor?
    WHY is everyone so freakishly fat they can’t see their feet anymore and are suffering accelerated off the charts health challenges?
    WHY has questioning anything become a terrorist threat?
    WHY is our atmosphere so purposely filled with aluminum and other toxic substances our respiratory illnesses have skyrocketed, never mind other complications like increased seizures, memory loss, and even alzheimers?
    WHY is going through the airport now a radioactive exam and terrorizing experience for even children and the elderly?
    WHY is the government now allowed to arrest, imprison and even kill you without trial?..as well as spy on you at will?
    WHY is the media swill the same on every channel with literally no independent reporting or investigative journalism?
    WHY is our DNA being tracked, our irises scanned, blood tested and our movements monitored?
    etc. etc. etc.

Getting the picture?
We have to wake the hell up, is all I can say. If you don’t get it yet, I pity you.
We’re under attack.
There’s a lot to be angry about. And if you’re not angry, you’re not alive. Then turn your anger into activity. Do something! Wake others up!

Alternatives



The Chinese believe that if the weather is very bad it is because of bad government. We have all noticed the wild fluctuations in our weather recently, heatwaves in March and snow in May. This changing of the climate we are told by scientists is because of global warming and I have no reason to doubt that this is so. Yet time and again the summits convened to try to deal with this crisis fail to come up with any concrete proposals. Why? Because of the vested interests of the elite in the global oil economy. We all know that oil is a resource that is all but exhausted. Yet we continue to rely on oil to maintain the illusion of progress. Oil fuels our vast transport systems and powers our electricity generators.
 Meanwhile, the government assures us that the best viable alternative is nuclear power. Yet this technology would leave us with a far worse pollution problem than oil and one that will last much much longer. If in years to come my great great grand children where to dig up my skeleton and scan it with their Geiger counters they would still find my bones were radio-active from the nuclear accident at Chernobyl. Every human on the planet has some of the fallout from that calamity in their body and now Fukashima is doing the same. You will notice how Fukashima has dropped out of the news even though that disaster is set to be even more deadly than Chernobyl. It has directly impacted the lives of over one million people already and now the scientists are saying there is worse to come!
