One Year Later: Fukushima Radiation levels finally being measured, Reactor 2 is Lethal!!! Kill humans within 7 minutes!

28 March 2012, finally, after one year, Tokyo Electric Power Company is taking radiation readings from Fukushima Daiichi disaster Reactor 2.

They placed a dosimeter into Reactor 2’s containment vessel.  It is emitting 72.9 sieverts, or 72,900 millisieverts, or 72,900,000 microsieverts of radiation per hour!!!

At that rate the radiation will kill a human in seven minutes!

TEPCo admits that the lethal radiation levels, and the recently discovered lack of cooling water indicating a huge leak, are setbacks for their plans to decommission the reactor.

Evil Elites & the War on Individual Property Owners: Roswell Georgia man blows himself up as Police come for his home

March 26, 2012, after almost a decade of fighting bogus city code enforcement claims a Roswell, Georgia, man blew himself up as police tried to steal him from his home.

Here is video of the explosion that took place inside his home.

The man had battled bogus code claims, and won several court battles, but for some reason the city officials had it out for him.  Finally they forced his mortgage holder to illegally foreclose on his home.

Go here for detailed info on the man’s long struggle against the bogus Law Elites, and realize you could be next!

One Year Later: Japanese Bamboo now radioactive, 124 miles away from Fukushima Daiichi!

200 kilometers (124 miles) away from the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuke factory, bamboo plants grown for food are turning up radioactive!

On bamboo shoot farms in Chiba Prefecture, samples have turned out to be contaminated with as much as 250 becquerels of radioactive cesium per kilogram!

Not only that, the latest samples are higher in cesium than samples taken more than one week ago.  Officials think cesium absorbed by the parent bamboo plants is being passed on to the young bamboo shoots.

Bamboo farmers have been told not to ship their product to market.

ONE YEAR LATER: FINALLY, JAPANESE OFFICIALS SAY SEA BASS ARE TOO RADIOACTIVE, FISHING BAN NOW IN PLACE!

One Year Later, More Government Incompetence: Finally, Japanese officials say Sea Bass are too radioactive, fishing ban now in place!

March 28, 2012, one year after the GE designed Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant melted down, Japanese fisherman are now being told their catches are indeed contaminated.

For the first time, Miyagi Prefecture has banned Sea Bass fishing, because of radiation contamination!

Prefectural officials say cesium levels are so high, they’re higher than the new stricter limits due to go into effect next month.  As much as 360 becquerels of cesium is being found in Sea Bass catches!  The new stricter limit is 100 becquerels.

Officials say two other types of fish are also exceeding the 100 becquerels limit!  This backs up what Russian and South Korean fish inspectors have been saying all along about contaminated fish from Japan!

The scary thing is that up ’till now fishing has been allowed near the disaster reactors of Fukushima Daiichi!

Corporate Evil & What Economic Recovery? U.S. Alcoa to close factories worlwide, thousands of people to lose jobs. It’s all because Alcoa wants higher Aluminum prices

March 27, 2012, Sardinian workers are protesting the planned closing of Alcoa’s Portovesme aluminum smelter on the island of Sardinia.  The move could cost Italy the loss of at least 1,500 jobs.

U.S. media last reported that U.S. based Alcoa was making a deal with union workers to keep the factory open, however, European media says that ain’t so.

In fact three potential investors are now suing Alcoa.  The Italian government has been demanding Alcoa keep their factory open.  The Spanish government is also upset because Aloca has plans to reduce smelter operations there.

This is evidence that Corporate America is partly to blame for the continuing economic disaster in Europe!  But it’s not just Europeans losing their jobs, Alcoa is hitting Australians as well.

In Geelong, Australia, Alcoa says it’s closing down operations there, because it doesn’t want to pay its electricity bill!  Alcoa wants a deal from the Australian government, and utility suppliers, in order to keep its Point Henry smelter open.

Alcoa also blames the pending closing of their Australian smelter on the need for $100 million AUD (Australian Dollars) to upgrade the smelter to meet environmental regulations.  600 people could lose their jobs.

But the real reason for the closings of all these Aloca operations worldwide, is that the price of aluminum is not high enough for Alcoa executives.

Recently Alcoa officials said the recent drop in aluminum prices “…will result in a global aluminum industry deficit of 600,000 metric tons in 2012.” Why would that be?  Because the aluminum industry will cut back production until aluminum prices go back up. That means closing down factories, creating thousands more unemployed people.

Interestingly, despite aluminum prices being low, on March 1, 2012, Alcoa announced they were actually raising prices (by 5%) on some of their aluminum products!

Global Economic War: Obama attacks Argentina with Tariffs, another case of shooting yourself in the foot!

On March 26, 2012, U.S. President Barack Obama declared a trade war with Argentina.  This comes two days after Argentina sponsored a mission to increase trade relations with the U.S.

Obama says Argentine companies own two U.S. companies, Azurix and Blue Ridge, $300 million USD.  Obama dropped Argentina from “trade preferences”, which essentially put the South American country on the same standing as North Korea and Syria.

The two U.S. companies are owed money, but Argentine officials say every time they try to make a payment those U.S. companies refuse the terms of payment: “The U.S. trade authorities did not accept our proposal to resolve the disagreement of interpretation on the rules of ICSID [International Center Settlement of Investment Disputes]…”-Hector Timerman, Argentine Foreign Ministry

Obama’s decision goes into effect in 60 days.  Argentina is a member of CELAC, maybe that’s the real motivation behind Obama’s action?  The imposition of high U.S. tariffs on Argentina will affect at least $18 million USD in business with U.S. companies!

Evil Elites & the War on Drugs: Evidence the Queen of England is a drug dealer, U.K. bank regulator says so! This comes as the U.S. cracks down on suspicious bank accounts of lowly individuals in the name of the War on Terror

On March 21, 2012, a candidate running for the office of President of France, told interviewers that: “No, not all her fortune. There are many other sources, but it’s a series of trafficking operations within which, yes, there were drugs.”-Jacques Cheminade

Now, March 26, 2012, the U.K.’s Financial Services Authority (FSA) is backing up Cheminade’s claims against the Queen!  The FSA says the Royal family is involved in what looks like money laundering and possibly drug trafficking!

The FSA fined Coutts, which is the official bank of the Royal family, 8.75 million pounds ($13.8 million USD), for failing to prevent money laundering among other things: “The failings at Coutts were serious, systemic and were allowed to persist for almost three years. They resulted in an unacceptable risk of Coutts handling the proceeds of crime.”– Financial Services Authority statement

Coutts is a division of RBS (Royal Bank of Scotland).  RBS officials say they’ve tried to comply with years of FSA regulations: “Since the FSA first raised its concerns, we have implemented a number of improvements to prevent any recurrence of these failings. Regulatory reforms continue apace.”-Rory Tapner, RBS

The thing is the FSA brought up the issue of money laundering, which would include the possibility of drug dealing, back in 2007!  FSA says about 75% of Coutts accounts are suspicious.  FSA also says about 75% of all British banks fail to check the legitimacy of their clients deposits!

Coutts began in 1692, and had clients such as Charles Dickens, William Pitt, the Duke of Wellington, David Livingstone, P.T. Barnum, Frederick Chopin and King George III.   If you don’t think the Royal family could be involved in drug dealing go study the Opium Wars.

The United Kingdom is supposed to be an ally of the U.S. in the so called War on Terror.  Part of that ‘War’ includes fighting money laundering and drug trafficking, because it supposedly funds terrorists.  This is more proof that the elites are actually running the money laundering and drug trafficking operations, while screwing us commoners over!  They are the real terrorists!

Fukushima

One Year Later: More incompetence as Strontium pours into the Pacific Ocean off Japan!

March 27, 2012, Tokyo Electric officials say strontium 90 is pouring into the Pacific Ocean, from the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant!

The latest leak was discovered March 26.  It’s coming from above ground tanks, which are holding radioactive water. They also admit leaks are coming from pipes connecting the water tanks.

On March 26, TEPCo detected 0.25 becquerels per cubic centimeters of strontium beta particles in the Pacific Ocean.

It turns out this happens often. TEPCo admits the first strontium leaks, from pipes and water tanks, happened in December 2011, and have continued since then!

Fukushima

One Year Later: More incompetence; Reactor 2 overheating caused by guessing game, cooling water levels much lower than first thought, massive leak!

Disaster reactor 2 at General Electric designed Fukushima Daiichi is overheating because Tokyo Electric officials miscalculated the cooling water levels!

Reactor 2 was the only active reactor that did not explode immediately after the March 11, 2011 natural disasters.  It has been a constant struggle for TEPCo to keep its temperature down.

On March 26, 2012, TEPCo discovered that one reason is there is much less cooling water in the reactor, than what they first guessed.  They thought there was three meters (9.8 feet) of water in the containment vessel.  There is only 60 centimeters (23.6 inches) of water in the reactor!!!

TEPCo discovered this on Monday, after they used an endoscope to check out the inside of the reactor.  TEPCo has been pumping about nine tons of water per hour, for months now, trying to keep the melted nuclear fuel cooled down.

This is only the second time TEPCo used an endoscope to look inside reactor 2.  The first time the endoscope was too short, and they couldn’t see anything!

The facts that after months of pumping nine tons of water per hour (sometimes more), and finding only 60 centimeters of water at the bottom of the containment vessel, means there is a massive leak!  It also means the melted nuclear fuel has been leaking out, into the Pacific Ocean, as well!

This revaluation comes after a March 15, 2012 report, in which TEPCo said they found “…there were no cracks in the suppression chamber [of reactor 2] and there were no changes in the shape.”

The suppression chamber is also known as the ‘wetwell’, or ‘torus’.  It is separate from the containment vessel.  However, TEPCo also reported high radiation levels coming from the wetwell.  It could be a sign that nuclear fuel is leaking out of the containment vessel and into the wetwell (suppression chamber/torus).

TEPCo also reported that the paint on the wetwell was peeling and the color of the paint had changed.

 

 

 

Fukushima

One Year Later: Local officials expand nuclear disaster zone, after meeting with military leaders

Officials with Shiga Prefecture have extended their nuclear disaster preparedness zone, around local nuclear power plants, beyond the 30 kilometer (18.64 miles) radius recommended by the central government.

They made their decision after meeting with officials from Japan’s Self Defense Forces.  The JSDF is actually the best trained for nuclear accidents, because of their NBC (Nuclear Biological Chemical) warfare training.

In the days immediately following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, the JSDF were brought in because it became clear they were the only ones who had the specific training to get close enough to the GE designed disaster reactors.

They were the ones that said Fukushima Daiichi was a Chernobyl level disaster, especially after one of the reactors blew up as the JSDF NBC teams moved in.  One of their vehicles was destroyed, luckily the crew got out.

They then tried dropping water by helicopter, but the radiation levels blasting straight up into the sky was too much, and they called off the water drops. The JSDF had learned from the Chernobyl disaster, and tried bolting extra metal plates to the bottom of their helicopters, but it wasn’t enough.

It was then the firefighters were sent in, essentially as suicide teams, to get water pouring onto the exposed spent fuel pools.

So, when Shiga prefectural leaders talked to the JSDF about how big a nuclear disaster zone should be, they were talking to people who know first hand.  Not like those BS artist corporate officials.

Their disaster zone is now 43 km (26.7 miles) radius.  They’ve also changed their policy regarding the distribution of iodine. Before, it was to be distributed to people within 50 km (31 miles) of the nuclear reactors.  Now it will be distributed to the entire Prefecture!
