More proof Libya war is about oil, ‘Peaceful’ Rebels targeting oil towns
President Obama, Prime Minister Cameron, President Sarkozy all say the military action against Libya is about protecting peaceful civilians. It interesting that those peaceful civilians are attacking OIL towns.
That’s right, those peaceful rebels are not trying to implement regime change, they’re trying to take over all the oil towns.
Here’s a list of the cities ‘peaceful’ rebels have taken, or are attacking: Ajdabiya, Ras Lanuf, As Sidra, Benghazi, Brega and Misratah. All these cities are connected to the oil industry in some way.
In Egypt, and Tunis, truly peaceful protesters focused their efforts in their country’s capitols. They wanted to be in the face of their unresponsive governments. Yet, almost from the start, what is happening in Libya is armed rebels attacking oil fields and oil cities. This is an all out military action, NOT peaceful protest!
In the last week of February China began evacuating their oil field workers from Libya, because they were being attacked by armed “gangs”. These gangs deliberately destroyed all the Chinese equipment. These are not ‘peaceful’ protesters.
Rebel leaders, and Libyan arms dealers working in Egypt, have admitted that from early on they were being armed by the West. President Obama, where are the peaceful Libyan protesters?
Local governments in Japan lost all documentation in Tsunami, computers no help
The coastal towns along the north east coast of Honshu, lost all official documentation regarding their cities, and residents.
Not only “hard copies”, but everything stored on computers. All computers were destroyed by Mother Earth. Basically you would’ve had to store everything of importance inside a old fashioned bank safe.
So much for high tech.
Reports now say Japan tsunami was more than 20 meters high
NHK reporting that after analysis of the range of destruction by the March 11 tsunami, plus the fact that most 10 meter tall sea walls failed, the tsunami must have been more than 20 meters high.
Here in the U.S. that’s 65.5 feet. To help understand how high that is, the average wooden telephone pole sticks out of the ground 30-40 feet high. So the tsunami was as high as two wooden telephone poles.
Retail stores cutting back on power, shoppers in the dark
In Japan, in order to cut back on the usage of electricity, many retail stores are cutting back on operating hours, and on lighting.
Japanese consumers have less time to shop, and in some stores, are shopping in the dark. Stores are keeping most of their lights turned off.
Consumers say they don’t mind, especially because they know it’s due to the triple whammy of disasters that have struck their country.
Trash collection also stopped due to March 11 quake/tsunami
Even in the areas that are on the periphery of the natural disaster areas, in north east Honshu, trash collection has come to a near stand still.
Temporary trash dumps have been set up in parks and baseball fields.
Survivors at emergency shelters getting sick
NHK reporting that survivors of the March 11 quake/tsunami, are getting sick at the emergency shelters.
Officials say they are now taking steps to prevent further spread of a flu like illness.
Bill Nye the Science Guy slams Experts who say this is not another Chernobyl, Bill Nye says yes it is another Chernobyl!!!
Interviewed by CNN Bill Nye the Science Guy was asked if he was calling Fukushima Daiichi another Chernobyl. His answer: “I am, yeah!”
Nye explained that the only way the reactors can be emitting such high levels of radiation is that deadly plutonium is getting out. Plutonium is created when the uranium fuel is “jolted” during the production of electrical power.
His answer to the problem? Dump concrete on the reactors, just like the Soviets did with Chernobyl. Nye explained there is no way to “repair” damaged reactor cores. This is the main problem with nuclear reactors!
I’m saying this is worse than Chernobyl, because Chernobyl involved ONE reactor. Fukushima Daiichi has THREE reactors showing signs of damaged cores! From the beginning of this nuclear disaster, the Russians and Ukrainians (who have first hand experience with Chernobyl) have been saying Fukushima Daiichi will be worse than Chernobyl!
No longer trying to get water in, now trying to get water out of Reactors
For weeks nuclear officials wanted to get water into the reactors, of the Fukushima Daiichi plant. Now they’re trying to get it out.
It looks like the problem is that they used salty sea water to cool the reactors. It helped to keep the reactors cool enough, but it created pressure inside the reactor chambers. Now it looks like the three reactor cores have sprung leaks, flooding the basements of the reactors with highly radioactive water. Already 3 people went to the hospital, at least two of them had Beta Burns.
The radioactive water is flooding into the Pacific Ocean. Any further work on the reactors is held up because of the high levels of radiation.
Europeans surround EU Parliament, demanding to know where their taxes went to
Recently in Brussels, Belgium, the EU parliament was surrounded by about 20,000 protesters. They wanted to know where the taxes they paid went to.
“This money was made to be used for social security. It was meant to be used for social health, not to help the banks.”-Serge Monsieur, protester
Governments across Europe are dealing with what they claim is no money for their budgets. Europeans pay outrageously high taxes. Just look at their sales tax, in some countries it’s more than 20%! And now more war, this time against Libya.
Protesters say in the past few years they’ve seen the social programs, that they thought their taxes were going to, being slashed and burned. Jobs keep disappearing. Yet, there seems to be plenty of money for bank bailouts, government bailouts and war.
Isn’t that happening here in the United States? Wake up people!
