Yellowstone super volcano more massive than first thought!

24 April 2015 (10:54 UTC-07 Tango 01)/04 Ordibehesht 1394/05 Rajab 1436/06 Geng Chen (3rd month) 4713

“In a big eruption, Yellowstone would eject 1,000 times as much material as the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption. This would be a disaster felt on a global scale….”–Scientists find missing link in Yellowstone plumbing

“The Yellowstone supervolcano is one of the largest active continental silicic volcanic fields in the world……Using a joint local and teleseismic earthquake P-wave seismic inversion, we unveil a basaltic lower-crustal magma body that provides a magmatic link between the Yellowstone mantle plume and the previously imaged upper-crustal magma reservoir. This lower-crustal magma body has a volume of 46,000 km3, ~4.5 times larger than the upper-crustal magma reservoir, and contains a melt fraction of ~2%. These estimates are critical…..”–The Yellowstone magmatic system from the mantle plume to the upper crust 

The discovery that the supervolcano known as Yellowstone National Park is far bigger than first thought  comes as U.S. National Park administrators reported that 2014’s park attendance resulted in $543.7-million USD for the local economy.

According to National Geographic, Yellowstone National Park records “1,000-3,000 earthquakes annually.”

Recently 6th graders from West Yellowstone wrote comments about their week long field trip to the National Park.  Apparently one thing that wasn’t discussed with the children was that they were sitting on Mother Nature’s Super Atomic Bomb.

Recent local news reports talked about the threat of drought to the National Park, as well as invasive aquatic animals being inadvertently brought in on boats.

Fukushima – WIPP – Radiation Fallout: Siberian fires prove North America blanketed with Japanese radiation!

23 April 2015 (09:17 UTC-07 Tango 01)/03 Ordibehesht 1394/04 Rajab 1436/05 Geng Chen (3rd month) 4713

Massive wild fires in Siberia, Russia, have been smoking out the Pacific Northwest of North America for days now.  The smoke is now reaching the Atlantic Coast.  The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says the majority of North America is blanketed by the smoke.

The wild fires started about a couple of weeks ago, and have killed dozens of people in Siberia.  If the smoke is already covering most of North America in less than two weeks, then imagine the massive radiation contamination that is still spewing from Japan’s exploded Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactors!   The same wind currents that bring the smoke from Siberia are bringing radiation from Fukushima.  Of course, U.S. and Canadian environmental administrators have denied that high levels of radiation from Fukushima has reached North America.

Japanese news media reported that four years after the explosions at Fukushima new data has been released by the U.S. Department of the Navy.  The data shows 75% of  the initial radiation contamination released after the explosions actually took place several days afterward, and was released for much longer than first thought.  Researchers learned that a metal used to make fuel rods, zirconium, continued overheating even after thousands of tons of water was poured into the reactors.  It turns out the water actually acted as a catalyst and could have contributed to what looks like  a slow burn China Syndrome, that is still ongoing.

To prove that radiation contamination is still ongoing, administrators with Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo) revealed yet more airborne and waterborne leaks, and admitted they knew about one leak a year ago!  TEPCo says airborne radiation levels inside reactor building 1 (Fukushima #1) are so high they will kill you in one hour!  They determined this after two robots sent into the building were disabled by the radiation levels.

The most recent water leaks happened this week, when all the water pumps failed.  An unknown amount of contaminated water went into the Pacific Ocean.

Then there’s the leak TEPCo knew about one years ago, but said nothing until now.  TEPCo described the contaminated water leak as “highly radioactive” and said it’s been pouring into the Pacific Ocean, from reactor building 2 (Fukushima #2), since April 2014!

In a possibly related story, the residence of the neo-imperialist Japanese prime minister was found to have a highly radioactive RC drone on the roof!  Security personnel say nobody had been on the roof for the past month, and they don’t know how it got there.  The drone was carrying a container of liquid contaminated with cesium that comes from nuclear reactors.   The drone was marked with radiation warning labels.

In Takahama, a Japanese court judge has blocked the re-start of two reactors at the Takahama Nuclear Power Plant.  The judge reviewed data and declared the reactors to be unsafe, and that the new national government regulations for nuclear factory safety to be insufficient.  Even government administrators admit a catastrophic accident could still occur even with the new regulations.  It turns out the Takahama nuke reactors, operated by Kansai Electric Power Company, are built over three earthquake fault lines!

The Journal of Ornithology has published a study that shows radiation is killing off Japanese birds.  The journal Environmental Indicators published a study saying the radiation levels around Fukushima are far worse than Chernobyl.

In the U.S. state of New Mexico radiation problems continue at the Waste Isolation Pilot Project (WIPP).  The DoE accuses the Los Alamos Nuclear Laboratory (LANL) of causing the explosions inside WIPP by improperly packing mixed nuke waste in 55 gallon drums.  The DoE investigation confirmed that at least one drum exploded.

The contractor running the site has been hit with $7.3-million USD in fines!  The U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) effectively accused Nuclear Waste Partnership of failing across the board, from lack of maintenance programs to outright violations of DoE regulations!

To try and remedy their failed operations at WIPP, Nuclear Waste Partnership has selected a new manager to run WIPP.  He was in charge of the plutonium facility at Idaho National Laboratory, and also worked at the Savannah River Site.

The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has also been accused of contributing to the WIPP disaster, as it is one of the users of WIPP for nuke waste storage.  Now the INL is now asking for permission to receive 2-hundred pounds of spent nuclear fuel, for the purpose of researching new ways to store and/or recycle nuke waste.  Former Idaho governors Phil Batt and Cecil Andrus condemned the proposal, pointing out it would violate a 1995 deal banning nuke waste shipments into The Gem State.

Nobody can trust anything administrators say at the INL, it turns out there was a nuclear accident there six months ago, but only now was made public!  It was revealed by the DoE during a local public hearing.  Back in October 2014, at least one employee was contaminated during the re-packing of nuclear waste.  It shutdown the New Waste Calcining Facility for several weeks.

Business/Economics, Idaho

U.S. Job Losses & Store Closings, 04 – 05 March 2015: Another debt collector bites the dust! Capitalism blamed for killing off Lifestyle Lift! Obamacare to cause “more change than we’ve seen in the past 75 years combined.”

Incomplete list of publicly announced layoffs & shutdowns:

What real estate recovery?  Internet based commercial office space seller 42Floors laid off at least 14 people in the cities of New York and San Francisco.  The company halted its commercial real estate brokerage ops and will focus on providing internet searches and listings only: “Over the past few months, 42Floors has experimented with being a brokerage in addition to being a commercial real estate data and search website. We’ve decided today to stick with what we’re best at…”-Jason Freedman, founder

U.S. based barrel maker Greif Incorporated announced it will end metal barrel production in two U.S. states, and in Germany.  The number of jobs to be lost were not made public.

Spain based ‘fast casual’ restaurant Mondatidos chain has placed 1-hundred of its U.S. restaurants into chapter 11 bankruptcy. It should be noted that none of Mondatidos restaurants in other countries are part of the bankruptcy, apparently the economy is that bad in the U.S.

Alabama: Bogue’s Restaurant now chapter 11 bankrupt busted: “A prime motivation factor for Bogue’s filing its reorganization case was to be able to pay its tax debts in an orderly manner.”-Bradley Hightower, attorney

California:  What housing market recovery?  Agoura Hills based InterThink sold off its mortgage division, resulting in at least 70 people being laid off.

Colorado: In Longmont, ‘spy’ satellite operator DigitalGlobe laid off 64 people.   It’s part of the company’s plan to kill 155 jobs across the United States!  Company administrators have been reporting profits but said their outlook for the future of the economy is grim, so they’re cutting jobs now.

Florida:  In Tampa, Ohio Retail Security & Mainstreet Maintenance issued a WARN saying at least 49 people will be laid off by the end of May.

Idaho: Will nuclear power plant operator Areva shutdown their Eagle Rock project?  The French government owned Areva revealed they lost more money.  This time they lost $5.4-billion USD, and as a result they will begin cutting back on their international operations (they refuse to give details about those cuts).

Indiana: In Vincennes, flat glass maker Schott Gemtron laid off 65 employees.  News reports did not indicate why.    hhgregg appliance store chain announced they will shutdown stores in Indianapolis and Richmond, at least 30 employees affected.  Two other stores are being consolidated.

Massachusetts: In Fenway, after four years Jerry Remy’s sports bar and grill shutdown.

Michigan: Byron Township based grocery chain owner SpartanNash announced they will shutdown ten grocery stores in their “western store base”. They say it’s necessary as part of their plans to “expand”.   In Flint, Kroger shutdown yet another grocery store. They shutdown their Davidson Road store, 65 jobs lost.

Minnesota: Bus operator SmartLink Transit announced they will layoff employees, including all its drivers, due to the loss of several contracts.  Company administrators say they will now contract out all the jobs, for less pay and no benefits.

New Jersey: Kean University announced it will layoff 54 janitors and grounds keepers.  The jobs will be contracted out.  University administrators claim they’re trying to cut $3.4-million per year, yet this didn’t stop them from spending $219-thousand on a conference table made in China!

New York: In Cortland, fishing materials supplier Cortland Line shutdown their three years old Riverside Plaza store.   In Orleans County, Brown’s Berry Patch shutdown its retail berry picking ops.  At LaGuardia Airport Terminal D, Airserv issued a shutdown WARN saying they lost their Gate Aviation contract and 178 people will become jobless at the beginning of June!  News reports claim that call center operator Sitel issued a WARN on 02 March, saying 120 people at their Painted Post call center will become jobless by April, however, I checked the New York Department of Labor’s WARN site and couldn’t find any such notice dated 02 March.  The same news reports said Sitel also WARNed in January they would layoff 278 people, but again, I couldn’t find the WARN on the New York Department of Labor’s website.   Pioneer Credit Recovery lost their federal contract to harass people who owe money on student loans.  4-hundred debt collectors to become jobless (That’s good news)!

North Carolina: Thinking about getting that plastic surgery?  Lifestyle Lift suddenly began shutting down their clinics, with no notice or explanation.  News reports say employees have been working without pay!  One doctor blames capitalism: “The more it’s treated like a commodity, the more you’re going to see failures like this.”-Stephen Finical

Ohio: The Buckeye State losing at least five CPS Operations owned Sears Appliance & Hardware stores, and possibly two Abtroit Limited Partnership owned Sears Appliance & Hardware stores by May (or until merchandise is sold out). They employ about 15 to 20 people each. Apparently the franchise owners of Sears Appliance & Hardware did not want to renew their contracts with Sears Holdings.

Pennsylvania: In Saint Marys, hospital Penn Highlands Elk announced they will eliminate 43 jobs and reduce the hours for 25 employees.   A local news report blamed “systemic changes implemented under the Affordable Care Act”.  Hospital administrator Raymond A. Graeca said “We’re facing a very different healthcare delivery environment today than we were five years ago, and the American Hospital Association is projecting that the next five years alone will hold more change than we’ve seen in the past 75 years combined.” 

Virginia: In Bristol, the soon to be officially owned by Staples Office Depot announced it will shutdown its customer care center, causing 140 people to become jobless by the end of May!  According to local news reports the shutdown was actually planned after Office Depot and OfficeMax merged in 2013.   In Fredericksburg, home decor store This and That shutdown their brick-n-mortar op.   One of the co-owners is pursuing a job in healthcare.  Apparently they still sell on the internet.

01 – 03 March 2015: “We weren’t expecting this at all!”

WARN=Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) doesn’t count the hundreds of layoffs involving less than 50 people each, in its mass layoff reports. It also doesn’t count all the little ‘mom & pop’ businesses that shutdown. It doesn’t count people who get a severance for being laid off.

Business/Economics

U.S. Job Losses & Store Closings, 20 November 2014: “We found ourselves with our backs against the wall” Skincare center calls in armed guards to layoff employees!

Incomplete list of publicly announced layoffs & shutdowns:

International based “Free daily newspaper” Metro.US laid off five employees in New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.

Alabama: Boeing issued a WARN saying employees will be laid off at their Huntsville NASA ops in January 2015.

Indiana: Shopko issued a WARN saying it will shutdown their Lebanon distribution center. The shutdown will be completed by September 2015, 95 to 100 jobs lost!

Kentucky:  In Ashland, after only two years the Lamp Post Cafe shutdown with little notice, the lease was not renewed at the last moment, the owners blame the bad economy: “We’re two years into it and it is a tough economy. While we’ve certainly been moving forward, we are a victim of the economy. We found ourselves with our backs against the wall….Our first winter, the electric bill just about killed us…”-Shane Fields

Massachusetts: Framingham based Mitt Romney wunderkind Staples announced the shutdown of 170 North American stores, I’m not sure if this is part of, or, on top of its previous list of 225 that will be shutdown by mid 2015!  More proof the internet isn’t killing off brick-n-mortars. TV through the internet service provider Aereo now chapter 11 bankrupt busted, it’s blamed on lack of funding and a federal court order preventing the company from streaming specific TV shows.

Michigan: Without warning American Laser Skincare (formerly known as American Laser Centers) shutdown all 136 operations in 25 states and Puerto Rico, at least 1-thousand jobs lost! Some employees reported they were threatened by armed security guards that they had less than two hours to get all their gear and vacate the premises!  Many customers pre-paid for skincare services worth thousands of dollars, and will not be getting refunds! The Northeast California Branch of the Better Business Bureau says customers are screwed: “To say it doesn’t happen would be a misnomer. We see it with gyms, cosmetic surgery, all kinds of stuff. There’s been a big recession, and a lot of people [companies] are financially unstable, and you don’t really know about their financial condition. We’ve had people pay them like the day before they closed their doors.”-Gary Almond

In order to cut costs due to reduced payments caused by Obama Care, Holland Hospital laid off all their in-house language interpreters.  The Detroit Free Press warned of layoffs, to take place before U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, and again before the western Christian Xmas holiday (which is at a different time than eastern Christian Xmas). The newspaper is owned by Gannet, which is also killing off jobs at other newspapers around the U.S.

Missouri: Belgium-Brazil owned beer brewer Anheuser-Busch admitted to laying off employees at its Saint Louis brewery, but refused to give a number.  Anheuser-Busch also shutdown its U.S. Busch Media Group.  HVAC maker Nordyne announced it will complete its shutdown of two factories by June 2015, at least 700 jobs lost!

New York: In Brooklyn, after only a year the owner of Marco’s restaurant announced it will shutdown in December. The owner says the profits weren’t high enough to cover operating costs.  In NYC, reports that The New York Times will kill off even more news gathering jobs, via the bribing of at least 100 employees with  “buyouts”!  Warnings that British empire United Kingdom based Reuters will layoff news staff in NYC.  Thompson Reuters says they’re news division has lost $79-million USD in its last quarter!

Pennsylvania: After 13  years Endless Mountains Quiltworks shutdown due to family health problems.

Vermont: The Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant announced it will  shutdown at the end of 2014.  165 employees to become jobless, while 316 will remain for the decommissioning process until the end of 2016!  At one point 625 people were employed!

17-19 november 2014: Cargill & Walmart join exodus from Canada

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) doesn’t count the hundreds of layoffs involving less than 50 people each, in its mass layoff reports. It also doesn’t count all the little ‘mom & pop’ businesses that shutdown. It doesn’t count people who get a severance for being laid off.

Fukushima, Idaho

Fukushima – WIPP – Radiation Fallout: More proof cell phones can kill you! Idaho & California elementary schools site of new radioactive cell towers? TEPCo finally pouring concrete! Santa Barbara hit by giant radioactive lobsters? WIPP wants more of your money!

24 November 2014 (10:15 UTC-07 Tango)/01 Safar 1436/03 Azar 1393/03 Yi-Hai (10th month) 4712

India: A new report shows the nuclear power industry is not cost effective, but like a parasite lives off the backs of unsuspecting taxpayers!  The Hindu reveals even more ugly truths about nuclear power: “The key fact about nuclear power is that it is the world’s most subsidy-fattened energy industry…..Commercial reactors have been in operation for more than half-a-century, yet the industry still cannot stand on its own feet without major state support….costs have escalated multiple times…..The nuclear share of the world’s total electricity production reached its peak of 17 per cent in the late 1980s. Since then, it has been falling, and is currently estimated at about 13 per cent, even as new uranium discoveries have swelled global reserves…..there is enough uranium to meet current demand for more than 100 years.

Yet….wind power, solar power and biomass — has surpassed installed nuclear-generating capacity. In India and China, wind power output alone exceeds nuclear-generated electricity.”

France: French nuclear company Areva is in big trouble, losing 23% of its stock value due to massive delays in its Finnish nuke reactor, and other nuke projects.  Areva is also a major player at the Idaho National Laboratory in United States.  Areva administrators are rethinking their financial projections for 2015 and 2016.

Sweden: Yet another international study on cell phone radiation concludes that chronic use of the little computer could give you brain cancer.  The study was published in Pathophysiology, and concluded that insecure people who just have to constantly gab their heads off to somebody on the other end of that smart phone, will lose their heads to cancer; 25 years of manic cell phone use increases your chance of brain cancer by 300%!

U.S.A.:  Speaking of cell phones and cancer, lets not forget that government administrators in India put a hold on cell tower construction in their country, based on their own studies and studies done by the UN WHO (which says ‘cell’ signals cause cancer).  In fact  the Indian Cellular Association requires new cell phones to show users the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) they get from cell phone use.  But that isn’t going to stop the administrators of School District 25 and the city of Chubbuck, in the U.S. state of Idaho, from allowing T-Mobil to build a cell phone tower right on the playground of Chubbuck Elementary (which is also right next to a residential area).  Of course T-Mobile is going to pay School District 25 a hefty monthly rent for putting the tower on the playground, and the scandalously administered district is short on cash.  Parents have justifiably threatened to pull their kids from school if the cell tower deal goes through.

But wait there’s more!  In Clairemont, California, Verizon is forcing the building of cell towers on school properties!  School administrators of the English-French elementary and preschool La Petite Ecole are actually against such a plan (in contrast with the greedy administrators in Idaho), which will see 16 antennae and a microwave dish (I’ve seen radiation from a radar dish on a C-130 kill a bird that was sitting in front of it, during a test of the radar) implanted on the school property!  Verizon administrators responded by pointing out that there are already cell towers in the area.

The Federal Communciations Commission says local governments cannot dictate to cell phone companies, and the United States government allows much higher exposure rates from cell towers than other countries.

In New Mexico, the number of nuke workers allowed into the failed Waste Isolation Pilot Project has been increased to 74.  Administrators are crediting the increase in recovery ops to the repair work done on a massive “emergency” elevator hoist, which can carry vehicles.  It was also revealed that the explosion(s ?) was strong enough to require replacing of roof bolts needed to secure the roof and walls of the underground tunnel system.  The massive bolts are 3.6 meters (12 feet) long!

Administrators with Los Alomos Nuclear Laboratory (the source of the exploding waste drums) are denying that they got lazy with safety protocols. Their tantrum was in response to an article in The Santa Fe New Mexican.  The old school newspaper spent six months investigating the WIPP fiasco and concluded administrators made mistakes and then covered them up: “…workers packaging the waste came across a batch that was extraordinarily acidic, making it unsafe for shipping……

Instead, the lab and its various contractors took shortcuts in treating the acidic nuclear waste, adding neutralizer and a wheat-based organic kitty litter to absorb excess liquid. The combination turned the waste into a potential bomb that one lab chemist later characterized as akin to plastic explosives….” 

Senators from New Mexico are asking the U.S. taxpayers to fork over even more money for WIPP, this time they want an additional $113-million USD on top of what’s already been approved!

(and back to The Golden State) Reports that cesium 134 from Fukushima Daiichi has been detected off the California coast.  Could this have anything to do with the record 12 pound lobster caught near Santa Barbara?  

Jamaica: More than a year and a half has past since the Caribbean country impounded a mini-van from Japan.  It is contaminated with radiation from Fukushima Daiichi.  Jamaican port administrators say Japan is still refusing to take back the contaminated mini-van.  One of the problems is that the contaminated cargo would end up passing through other ports on its way back to Japan: “It may go through other jurisdictions, so you have to get those clearances. It means that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade would have to engage other missions to seek their assistance to have it returned.”-Major Richard Reese, Jamaican commissioner of customs

Japan:  The Japanese government is paying U.S. (Texas based) company Kurion $10-million to come up with a way to get rid of tritium contamination in the 400+ metric tons per day of contaminated water pouring out of Fukushima Daiichi into the Pacific Ocean. Kurion is already making bank on filtering cesium and strontium from the water.

The new contract award to Kurion came days before Tokyo Electric Power Company essentially admitted failure in dealing with the never ending slow burn China Syndrome melt down of Fukushima Daiichi, the following are reasons why.

TEPCo is now filling in trenches connected to reactors 2 and 3 turbine buildings with concrete, because they cannot stop the flow of highly irradiated water, and they still can’t figure out where it’s coming from!  The trench outside unit 2 is said to contain at least 5-thousand metric tons of contaminated water, while the trench outside unit 3 holds 6-thousand metric tons!

Japanese news reports say TEPCo has already tried to use cement to block water sources, but it has failed.  TEPCo administrators say they will try using a new type of water repelling cement.

TEPCo administrators have admitted that their radical plan to freeze the ground, in order to stop the contaminated water from getting to the Pacific Ocean, has failed.

At least three ‘throwaway’ workers were injured when the 13 meter (42 feet) tall cooling tank they were building collapsed.

For some unexplained reason, removal of unused fuel rods from storage pools on top of the GE designed reactor unit 4 cannot be attempted at this point. Unit 4 was not in use at the time of the quake and tsunami in 2011, and all its fuel was in storage in the fuel pool. The plan was to remove the massively heavy, and ignitable, rods to a more stable storage pool, but suddenly Japan’s Nuclear Energy Safety Organization halted the operation, demanding an evaluation of TEPCo’s plan be conducted by Tokyo based International Research Institute for Nuclear Decommissioning.  Supposedly all the spent (used) fuel rods have been removed (400 metric tons worth), but there are still 204 new (unused) fully explodable with the force of a small tactical nuke fuel rods in the storage pool.

TEPCo and Japan’s Nuclear Regulatory Agency (NRA) have pushed back their hopes for securing Fukushima Daiichi by five years, from 2020 to 2025.

Schools in Fukushima Prefecture are being used to store contaminated dirt, against the will of the locals, and Japan’s Jiji Press discovered there are no plans to remove the radioactive dirt piles!  Prefectural government administrators are blaming a national law implemented in 2012, after the radioactive dirt was piled on school property.  The cost of removing the contaminated soil is also a factor.

Renovations reveal U.S. park is nuke disaster area!

Fukushima – WIPP – Radiation Fallout: Renovations reveal U.S. park is nuke disaster area! Woods Hole confirms Fukushima radiation heading to North America!

22 October 2014 (14:22 UTC-07 Tango)/27 Dhu l-Hijja 1435/30 Mehr 1393/29 Jia-Xu 4712

United States: What does a 1994 U.S. Department of Energy memo say is the best treatment for tritium exposure?  Water, lots and lots of water.  Is that the real reason the U.S. military suddenly (in the mid-1990s) adopted a policy of “Drink water!” for ground troops?

In Louisiana, a nuclear disaster drill was held (one of dozens that have been held across the U.S. this year) and it involved a nuke waste truck heading to New Mexico’s WIPP, and a school bus.  The area was chosen because WIPP waste trucks actually drive that route: “We actually transport radiation. It’s materials left over from the production of nuclear weapons. So it’s how to respond to radiation should it occur. And it’s different in the chemical aspect because you can’t see it taste it or smell it.”-Bobby St. John, Waste Isolation Pilot Project

In Seattle, Washington, residents near Magnuson Park are outraged after learning the popular park is actually contaminated with radiation left over from the Second World War.   Renovations of two buildings revealed radium contamination.  When some local news sources heard the rumor, and then went to the park, they found  Washington State Department of Ecology employees with geiger counters.  The state employees said the radiation levels were OK for a person to be in the area for two hours per day, five days per week.  One politician is pissed: “Totally unacceptable. It’s a gross injustice to say we’re going to call this safe and cleaned up when future children using the park will be at risk of getting cancer.

…..How many of you have children or high school students who use the park more than two hours a day?”-Gerry Pollet, state representative

Canada: U.S. based Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is now warning that Fukushima radiation, still flooding into the Pacific Ocean, is about to come ashore on North America.

On 02 August 2014, a water sample taken off the coast of British Columbia, Canada, showed cesium-134 and 137 originating from the GE designed disaster reactors at Fukushima Daiichi.  Woods Hole officials will reveal more at a public announcement in November: “There is definitely offshore Fukushima cesium now. It’s not on the beaches, but it’s offshore.”– Ken Buesseler

Japan: Continuos tropical storms and cyclones are flooding contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean.  Phanfone and Vongfong have increased leaked cesium levels to 251-thousand becquerels per liter, tritium as high as 150-thousand bq, and strontium to 1.2-million bq!

And soon they’ll be even more, as Tokyo Electric Power Company has begun controlled demolition of reactor building 1.  The problem is TEPCo tried that last year with reactor building 3 and the result was massive contamination of rice fields due to radioactive dust being spread by the demolition.

This time TEPCo officials say before they remove the protective canopy from reactor 1 building they will spray down the interior with chemicals to try and reduce the amount of dust.

A former news anchor for Japanese state TV revealed he was fired for reporting the truth about Fukushima Daiichi: “I am a newscaster, but I couldn’t tell the true story on my news program.  I was on the ground in Fukushima, and a lot of people kept asking me, why didn’t you tell us earlier about what is happening? ….then my superiors said the NHK was getting complaints from politicians about what I was saying. They told me I had to stop.”-Hori Jun, former anchor-reporter for NHK

Russia: Studies aboard the International Space Station are showing that cosmic radiation is not as big a threat to astronauts as first thought: “This finding is crucial to the planning of protracted space flights. It means in practical terms we can fly longer and go further.”-Vyacheslav Shurshakov, Institute of Medical-Biological Problems

Operation Climate Change: “Politics or ideology must not get in the way…” U.S. DoD reveals ‘climate change’ is all part of a plan for global domination!

“In our defense strategy, we refer to climate change as a ‘threat multiplier’ because it has the potential to exacerbate many of the challenges we are dealing with today – from infectious disease to terrorism. We are already beginning to see some of these impacts.”-2014 Climate Change Adaption Raodmap

The U.S. Department of Defense announced new plans to use ‘climate change’ for domestic martial law and to expand the U.S. empire.

The DoD issued a 2014 Climate Change Adaption Roadmap report stating that climate change is now a threat to U.S. national security and that U.S. officials must be prepared to invade and occupy other countries under the guise of saving them from the wrath of Mother Earth, and the DoD issued a warning to ‘elected’ officials: “Politics or ideology must not get in the way…”

The immediate goals of the DoD are:  “….enhance collaboration within the Department itself, across the Federal Government, and with external entities that include partner nations, non-­‐government organizations, and the private sector.”  

“…to train and test…”

“…collaboration with internal and external stakeholders will be required…”

“Collaboration with the private sector, including major manufacturing, supply, and transportation corporations…”

Fukushima – WIPP – Radiation Fallout: Why does Rudolph’s nose glow? Because Santa’s Reindeer are radioactive! Why is Japan getting hit with so many hurricanes + earthquakes? EPA confirms airborne radiation at the WIPP! Nuke waste shipments on hold for two more years, or more!

11 October 2014 (16:40 UTC-07 Tango)/16 Dhu l-Hijja 1435/19 Mehr 1393/18 Jia-Xu 4712

United States: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) confirmed that some radiation escaped into the air around the failed Waste Isolation Pilot Project (WIPP) in New Mexico, but claims “The public doses were well below EPA’s standards.”

EPA also criticized the Department of Energy’s (DoE) air monitoring system: “EPA identified a number of areas needing improvement regarding DOE’s ambient environmental air sampling network, laboratory procedures and incident response protocols.”

More revelations out of WIPP.  DoE has revealed that one reason why the investigation and clean up is taking so long is that the main means of transportation down the 655 meter (2150 feet) shaft is broken!   DoE officials are trying to make it sound like it had nothing to do with the salt truck fire back on 05 February 2014, but that just happens to be the day the massive elevator stopped working.

DoE officials claim the hoist system stopped working because of soot accumulation on the electrical components.  Just more proof it was a massive fire.

WIPP is now affecting the state of South Carolina.  The Savannah River Site (SRS) has been told that nuclear waste shipments to the WIPP are on hold until at least 2016, or even longer: “Resumption of full scale operations at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant may not occur until 2019 and could cost up to $551 million, though initial operations are slated for resumption in early 2016 at a cost of about $242 million.”-DoE report

I assume this delay in nuke waste shipments also applies to LANL in New Mexico, INL in Idaho and other nuclear laboratories around the United States.

Japan:  I’ve written many times before about how heavy rain floods through the failed Fukushima Daiichi nuclear energy factory, getting contaminated and then flooding into the Pacific Ocean.  Anybody notice how many typhoons have hit Japan this year?  So far there have been 19 western Pacific typhoons, at least four hit Japan directly, and at least two came close enough to cause flooding in Japan.

Now, this years largest typhoon Vongfong (now rated category 6 supertyphoon) is heading to the big islands of Japan.  The current expected track of the supertyphoon will take it right over Fukushima Daiichi, it is expected to be downgraded by then.  On top of that, northeastern Japan was just hit by yet another 6.3 earthquake (followed by a 5.5 quake), in Amoroi Prefecture 400km (248.5 miles) north of Fukushima Daiichi!

About a week prior, Iwate Prefecture (also north of Fukushima Daiichi) got hit with a 5.3 quake.  About two weeks ago Fukushima Prefecture got hit with 5 and 5.1 quakes. About one month ago Iwate Prefecture got hit with a 5.1 quake.  That same month Fukushima Prefecture got hit with multiple 4 magnitude quakes.  About two months ago Fukushima and Iwate prefectures got hit with multiple 4 magnitude quakes.  Three months ago Fukushima Prefecture suffered a 6.5 quake and Iwate a 5.7 quake, on top of numerous 4 magnitude quakes.    There hasn’t been a month in 2014 when Fukushima or Iwate prefectures hadn’t experienced a single 4 to 6 magnitude earthquake.   In fact, the big island of Honshu has been racked by 4 to 6 magnitude quakes all year.

The German news source DW interviewed Michael Maqua, who works for pro-nuke GRS (Gesellschaft für Anlagen und Reaktorsicherheit).  He gave typical assurances that nothing will happen at Fukushima Daiichi when Vanfong hits, but gave this warning: “Apart from physical damages to construction equipment, we could expect radioactive isotopes from contaminated surfaces being washed away and transported into the groundwater or the sea. Over the past days, the concentration of radioactive substances in the groundwater has increased significantly at some of the plant’s measuring points and, according to TEPCo, this was caused by the recent heavy rains.” 

Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo) has run out its latest unsecured debt financing, and hasn’t paid it off.  No problem, the Japanese government convinced the three banks to simply refinance TEPCo for another six months.  Those Too Big to Jail banks are Sumitomo Mitsui Banking, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking.

It was revealed that not only has TEPCo failed to pay many of their throwaway workers promised hazard pay, but some of those that did get paid got a whopping $36 USD!  TEPCo had promised $180 per day in hazard pay.

Canada: The Canadian national government has ordered nuclear power plant operators to provide all residences, businesses and institutions living within 16km (10 miles) radius of nuke factories potassium iodide pills.   The decision was made by the Nuclear Safety Commission.  Back in June the NSC advised Canadians to stockpile iodide pills.

Norway: Scientists are alarmed over a sudden 5 times increase in radiation levels contaminating reindeer!

In September the reindeer had 82-hundred becquerels of celsium-137 per kilo.  Compare that to 2012 when they had 1500bq.

It’s not just reindeer but sheep as well, some have tested out at 4500bq!  600bq is the max limit considered safe to eat.  But Norway isn’t blaming Fukushima Daiichi, they’re blaming the 30 years old Chernobyl disaster.

Scientists claim that the gypsy mushroom is soaking up radiation contamination caused by Chernobyl after the 1986 meltdown: “This year, there has been extreme amounts of mushroom. In addition, the mushroom season has lasted for a long time. And the mushroom has grown very high up on the mountains.”-Lavrans Skuterud

Norway is 1686.5km (1048 miles) by air from Chernobyl.  This proves that nuclear accidents never go away!

“…you are killing us…!”

Fukushima

Fukushima – WIPP – Radiation Fallout: “…you are killing us…!” Incompetence & conspiracy at WIPP & LANL! National Security violations by LANL! EMP weapons revealed, to be used on you! Preps for war, or disaster? Japan doubles the number of radiation centers! They’re dropping like flies!

“It’s concerning that just a couple months ago, the scope of the problem was presented to us as one drum.  Now the scope being represented by the lab involves more high risk drums.”-Peter Wirth, state senator & chairman of New Mexico’s Radioactive and Hazardous Waste Committee

United States:  More strangeness taking place at New Mexico’s WIPP and LANL.  On  22 September 2014, a truck carrying 110 barrels of salt water to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) tipped over as it entered the south entrance, spilling “about a five and a half barrels” of salt water.  The driver claims the brakes failed.

But recently released reports and public hearings revealing more dangerous strangeness.  During a recent meeting of the New Mexico Legislature’s Radioactive and Hazardous Materials Committee it was revealed that the employees of Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) might have been improperly packing mixed waste drums for some time now, in other words there’s more than one nuke waste drum out there with the potential to explode!

“There are two problematic drums, one of which they can’t even get at.  So if it were to explode, that’s a problem.”-Don Hancock, Southwest Research and Information Center

In February (after a salt truck fire), at least one mixed waste drum exploded.  So far investigations have shown it contained improperly packed items contaminated with radiation, which caused a chemical reaction explosion (it had reached internal temps of 340 and 870 degrees Celsius, 644 and 1598 degrees Fahrenheit).  The drum came from LANL.  The latest reports reveal that at least twelve drums in the WIPP are at risk of explosion!  And six potentially explosive drums are now at the Waste Control Specialists (WCS) site in Andrews, Texas.  They all came from LANL.

The state senators chairing the Radioactive and Hazardous Materials Committee told local news media that at their latest meeting with the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE), federal officials admit there are serious safety problems at WIPP, but they still don’t have a clue as to why things got so bad.  At least 22 employees are contaminated with radiation.  WIPP is still shutdown.

“We need air, you are killing us down here!”-WIPP employees begging for their lives during the salt truck fire, from court documents

Now concerning the salt truck fire that took place before the explosion(s?).  A lawsuit revealed that for some unknown reason the WIPP managers shutdown the ventilation system after the fire started, and while employees were still underground battling the blaze!

The lawsuit is the one brought by the WIPP employee who has to make numerous trips to a treatment center in Colorado.  The lawsuit includes sworn affidavits from other WIPP employees, including the driver of the salt truck.  They swear that while they were fighting the underground fire WIPP management shutoff their supply of air.   This is why the one employee suffered massive lung damage, from inhaling toxic smoke.

Perhaps management thought by turning off the air they could starve out the fire, however they could have also suffocated all the employees underground!  The affidavit says management never turned the ventilation back on, despite the pleas of the employees.  Also the emergency lights, alarms and even the fire extinguishers failed to work!

And the new contractor in charge of WIPP records is causing an uproar.  Rumors spread that Technical and Field Engineering (TFE) was about to secretly move all WIPP-DoE documents out of the state.  The president of the Tennessee based company recently swore to the Carlsbad Department of Development that they were not moving WIPP records out of state.  TFE is being paid $24.5-million U.S. tax dollars to ‘manage’ all WIPP-DoE documentation/records over the next five years.   It also appears that TFE will layoff employees.

It’s been revealed by Weapons Complex Monitor that there’s been a shakeup of the management at LANL.  This is part of a change in DoE policy, and officials from New Mexico say it’s about time: “The New Mexico Environment Department had been pushing DoE to make this change for a long time.”

The watchdog group known as Los Alamos Study Group accuses LANL contractor Los Alamos National Security of violating Nuclear National Security laws: “The reason this change is happening is because Los Alamos National Security errors shutdown WIPP.
This event has shed a glaring light on dangerous violations of hazardous waste law…..has been clear for a long time….the problems at LANL go deeper than a few individuals.”-Greg Mello

Now for something different: The U.S. Navy has developed new electromagnetic weapons!

In the state of Washington the USN is about to use such weapons in a war game.  It involves 15 aircraft and three RV sized trucks housing the EMP weapons.  The testing will be conducted on the Olympic National Forest and on land controlled by the U.S. Department of Natural Resources.

Officials with the  Pacific Northwest Electronic Warfare Range revealed that the true objective of the EMP trucks is to test the effects of electromagnetic weapons on humans: “….identifies the distribution of children and locations of schools, childcare centers, and family housing areas in areas potentially affected by implementation of the Proposed Action.

Human tissue is directly susceptible to shock or burns when metallic objects, which have absorbed high electromagnetic radiation, are touched.  This type of burn would be similar to the type of burn produced inside a microwave oven.

There are no conclusive direct hazards to human tissue as a result of electromagnetic radiation.  Links to DNA fragmentation, leukemia, and cancer due to intermittent exposure to extremely high levels of electromagnetic radiation are speculative; study data are inconsistent and insufficient at this time.

Strong electromagnetic radiation can cause fire if a wave were to create a spark near explosives or ordnance. Strong waves can also induce an electric current capable of overloading or destroying electrical equipment while less strong radiation waves can interfere with electromagnetic signals, such as radio, television, and telephone.”-Pacific Northwest Electronic Warfare Range statement available in PDF on U.S. Forest Service website

The USN is also going to target animals.  You can find that info in the PDF titled APPENDIX A SUMMARY OF SPECIES ANALYZED, EFFECTS DETERMINATIONS, AND REASONING.  It should be noted that U.S. Forest Service officials deemed the EMP testing as safe!

And more evidence the U.S. is preparing for a nuclear attack coming from the Caribbean.  For years the U.S. Army sent Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) teams to Bahamas to train the Royal Bahamas Defense Force (RBDF), officially to teach the art of bomb disposal.  This year the RBDF conducted their EOD training at Fort Irwin, California.  But the officer in charge of the Bahamian military police unit undergoing the training revealed it was really about weapons of mass destruction: “It is amazing how something as simple as water could be used to disrupt components within a weapon of mass destruction without totally destroying it, so that the possible weapon could be investigated.”-Lieutenant Andrew Bowe, RBDF military police

For years U.S. taxpayers have been funding a U.S. DoE program that has been training Caribbean Customs-Port officials in radiation contamination detection of cargo on commercial ships.

Japan:  Disturbing news out of Japan.  An investigation by Kyodo News reveals a more than doubling of hospitals that can be used to treat victims of radiation contamination!

Prior to the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi explosions there were only 83 such hospitals, now the government is increasing that to 201.  The report says the push to increase the number of hospitals for radiation contamination treatment is being conducted at the local level, however, Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) is also revamping medical procedures for treating exposure to radiation.

And there are more reports of the adverse effects of Fukushima Daiichi.  An ongoing study by Fukushima Medical University reports a huge jump in cancer cases, especially in children living near the failed GE designed nuclear reactors: “The study has been involving somewhat more than 400-thousand local children. And there have been results that have come in from about a quarter of million. We’ve had a 40 times the normal thyroid cancer death rate and a 40 times the normal or thereabout thyroid abnormality rate; cysts and tumors and other problems with the thyroid among children. And that number is going up, as you would expect, because the Iodine that came out of Fukushima affected people, but the effects continue to spread out over time and we expect the situation to get worse.”-Harvey Wasserman, U.S. journalist interviewed by Russian media

Another study, by University of the Ryukyus, is reporting that insects are dropping like flies around Fukushima Daiichi.  The study observed butterflies that ate radiation contaminated vegetation died early, and had mutations.  Biologist at the University of South Carolina called the study “groundbreaking”.

And at Fukushima Daiichi, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo) continues to deal with their failed ALPS decontamination system that keeps leaking radioactive water into the ocean.  This is strange because awhile ago they announced they were not going to use it anymore.

Also, TEPCo throwaway employees continue to report they are not being paid the promised hazardous duty pay.

Cosmic rays to be used at Fukushima! Hows your underwear? 

Business/Economics

U.S. Job Losses & Store Closings 17 July 2014: “…that train is headed for the cliff!” Microsoft culls 18-thousand tech jobs! More casinos roll snake eyes! Another women’s clothing store goes down! “The doctors….just can’t sustain it anymore.” Obamacare culls more healthcare jobs!

Incomplete list of publicly announced layoffs & shutdowns:

An east coast female clothing store now chapter 11 bankrupt busted. Love Culture owes its landlords tens of millions of dollars in back rent.  Their website still says they are growing and expanding their business!  Company officials stated that the bankruptcy will allow them to shutdown many of their 80 stores.  The company founders chose a bad year to start up a corporation; 2007.

Arizona: Who said tech jobs were recession proof?  In Tucson, California based tech company Intuit announced they’re killing 200 jobs in the near future.  Company officials refused to explain why, or exactly when they would take place.  If you go back over my previous Job Losses reports you’ll notice that Intuit has been steadily laying off employees in California.

California: Speaking of Intuit, they also announced they are killing an additional 127 Golden State jobs in September!  Taxsucker Boeing announced that 58 Golden Staters will be laid off in September.  More proof you can’t blame the internet for killing brick-n-mortar stores.  Yet another women’s clothing retailer in trouble, this time San Francisco based internet seller ModCloth.  Reports say the internet operation laid off about 70 employees, even though they’re advertising that they’re hiring.  ModCloth has also been accused of modifying the pics of clothing on their website.  Staying in San Francisco, the Grand Cafe warned that at least three employees will be let go in September.  In Porterville, Foster Poultry Farms announced 60 chicken pluckers will be laid off come September.  In Los Angeles, Wolfgang Pucks shutting down their restaurant at LAX Terminal 2 in September, 24 jobs lost.  Also at Terminal 1 LAX, Delaware North Companies (DNC) Travel Hospitality Services shutting down their Back Lot Deli in September, 25 jobs lost.  In Montebello, insurance industry created Obama Care forcing Beverly Community Hospital to cull 82 healthcare jobs in September.  In El Dorado Hills, Video Products Distributors IV announced they are shutting down in September, 17 jobs lost.

Georgia: In Atlanta, after 50 years snooty upscale private for profit Bauder College announced it is shutting down in 2015! It’s blamed on massive disappearing students.  In 2009 the college had 12-hundred students, it’s now less than 420!  College officials said by the start of the 2015-16 school year they’ll be down to 75!  You see, the U.S. economy is so bad even wealthy people can’t afford to pay for college!

Kentucky: What automotive industry recovery? In Maysville, Federal Mogul warned of 157 layoffs! The maker of automotive parts is consolidating operations out-o-state.  Obama Care killing 70 healthcare jobs at Jennie Stuart Medical Center: “…like many hospitals nationwide….We are adjusting to federal sequester cuts, declining Medicare reimbursement, an increasingly complex and restrictive Medicaid system, and a commercial insurance marketplace that is placing more of the burden of cost on its insureds.”– official statement from hospital

Maine: What housing market recovery?  After 61 years window maker Waterville Window now chapter 7 bankrupt busted and liquidating.  The company began laying off employees in December 2013.

Michigan: The city of Flint is warning that Obama Care’s increased employee benefit costs and the bad economy are pushing the city into bankruptcy: “Flint’s at the forefront, but a lot of cities are on the same train, and that train is headed for the cliff!”-Eric Scorsone,  Michigan State University economist

Minnesota: In Minneapolis, after nine years Social House restaurant shutdown, the operators blame the property owner for kicking them out, saying “We had absolutely no control over this situation…” 

Mississippi: Obama Care forcing Trace Regional Hospital to shutdown their Emergency Room in September: “The federal government is cutting or eliminating programs that pay hospitals for treating uninsured patients. This money is being redirected to fund the cost of Medicaid expansion….”-State Senator David Blount

New York: In Auburn, air conditioner maker Daikin Applied warned it is shutting down just in time for the New Year, 415 employees affected!  In Newfane, Obama Care forcing Eastern Niagara Hospital to cull 185 healthcare jobs beginning in October!

Nevada: In Laughlin, the River Palms Resort Casino announced they will kill at least 271 jobs in September!  The casino was sold off, and it’s not known what the new owners are planning to do with the property.

North Carolina: After 35 years Obama Care (Affordable Care Act) forcing Cancer Centers of North Carolina (CCNC) to shutdown in October, 135 healthcare jobs lost: “The doctors have really tried for the past couple years to stay independent. They just can’t sustain it anymore.”-Sheri Dyke, CCNC director

Ohio: Uranium mining company Fluor-B&W Portsmouth issued a WARN, saying all 19-hundred employees and subcontractors could lose their jobs by Autumn!  Company officials say they are losing money due to the crashing price of uranium, a similar situation to what is crashing and burning the coal mining industry.

Pennsylvania: In Lawrenceville, Paragon Foods canceled their plans to build a distribution center.  The female president of the company said “It was unaffordable for us…”  God refuses to stop the Franktuary hot dog restaurant at Trinity Cathedral from shutting down: “We’ve come to the end of an era.  Franktuary will close its original set of doors on National Hot Dog Day, July 23rd, at 4 p.m.”-owners

Tennessee: Another U.S. shoe factory shuts down, this time Wellco Enterprises shuttered its Morristown factory, 53 jobs lost.  Before the 2010 takeover by Wellco the taxsucking factory used to make boots for the U.S. Department of Defense.

Texas: In Amarillo, after 88 years (surviving the Great Depression and numerous recessions) Beebe’s Ace Hardware & Building Supply shutdown.  Back in the day ‘hardware’ meant hammer and nails, not hard drives or motherboards. The owner blames Globalization: “It used to be everything in the lumber business was made in the U.S., we live in a world economy now. He [the founder of the store] would have a fit if he knew we were selling tools that were made in China and Indonesia…..plywood from Russia, from South America, from Chile, from Australia and hardwood from Indonesia. It’s just incredible….”-Parker Beebe

Who said tech jobs were recession proof? In Plano, computer company Dell announced they are killing an undisclosed number of jobs around the World.  Dell officials said less than 175 Texans would be laid off.   The company calls job killing ‘optimizing operations’: “We can confirm that we have taken steps to optimize our operations over the past few years and recently.” 

Virginia: In Staunton, the Dixie Theater shutdown.

Washington: Who said tech jobs were recession proof?  Redmond based Microsoft finally revealed its massive job culling plan; 18-thousand by the end of 2015!  Analysts knew it would be big, but not that big.  Reports say about 55-hundred job losses will be in the United States! It’s partly blamed on Microsoft’s takeover of Finland’s Nokia (apparently thousands of Finns are soon to be jobless), but some of the U.S. layoffs come from the shutdown of Xbox Entertainment Studios.

West Virginia: In Charleston, after 84 years (and surviving the Great Depression and numerous recessions) the Sport Mart Superstore announced they will shutdown in August.  The owners blamed “ever changing demographics, competition from big chain stores, the Internet and the local economy have all contributed to sales erosion.”

Wisconsin: Internet based Anthem College shutting down its Brookfield operation in September, 30 jobs lost.  In Milwaukee, Associated Bank shutting down its Wisconsin Avenue office in August.

15 – 16 July 2014: “It is extremely scary!”

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) doesn’t count the hundreds of layoffs involving less than 50 people each, in its mass layoff reports. It also doesn’t count all the little ‘mom & pop’ businesses that shutdown.  It doesn’t count people who get a severance for being laid off.

“Our ideals and principles, as well as our national security…That’s what makes America different. That’s what makes us exceptional.”-Barack Obama, 10 September 2013
