More proof Christian British empire behind “horrific” global child sex crimes!

15 November 2013 (03:58 UTC-07 Tango)/11 Muharram 1434/24 Aban 1391/13 Gui-Hai (10th month) 4711

“It is alleged that officers located hundreds of thousands of images detailing horrific acts against young children, some of the worst that they have ever viewed!”-Joanna Beaven-Desjardins, Toronto police in Canada

A massive child sex crime syndicate has been busted in the British empire countries of Australia and Canada.  At least 366 people have been arrested globally, and they include teachers, cops, medical personnel and Christian religious leaders!

The public is being told that a Canadian movie company was a front for the global distribution of child pornography, including in the United States.

The owner of the company has been in jail since 2011, prosecutors claim he made $4 million CAD per year off child porn.  During the past three years 386 children have been rescued from the abusers.  Investigators used the movie company owner’s customer list to track down offenders.

In Australia, so far 66 people have been arrested and include Christian leaders and teachers.

The United States Postal Service investigated U.S. connections.  Recently the Federal Bureau of Investigation began investigating child sex crimes at the U.S. Army’s Fort Mead, in Maryland.  Also, the child prison system in the state of Idaho has been accused, by prison guards, of systemic child sex crimes.

The Commonwealth (British empire) is a Christian led system.  Queen Elizabeth is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England (aka Mother Church of Anglican Communion).

This is not the first time the empire has been accused of child sex crimes.  Here’s what one Aussie cop said in 2012: “I can testify from my own experience that the church covers up, silences victims, hinders police investigations, alerts offenders, destroys evidence and moves priests to protect the good name of the church.“–Peter Fox, New South Wales Detective Chief Inspector

Martial Law Canada: Former U.S. “Patriot” confronted by Canuck Special Forces during war game that never happened!

14 November 2013 (09:54 UTC-07 Tango)/10 Muharram 1434/23 Aban 1391/12 Gui-Hai (10th month) 4711

“It puzzled me to no end because….there was no evidence of any military involvement, there were no signs stating that, no announcement to the public that there was going to be an exercise here. There was no one in uniform, and no military vehicles at all.”-Robert Westbrook, witness of Special Forces op conducted in Port Hawkesbury, on Cape Breton Island

Canadian news media reporting that a small coastal town called Port Hawkesbury was the sight of an unannounced military op, involving Canadian Special Operations Force Command’s Joint Task Force 2 (aka JTF2).

The incident happened on the night of 25 October 2013.   Some townsfolk noticed a lot of commotion at the abandoned call center.  Of course the locals wanted to know what the hell was going on, so they investigated and took pics.  Robert Westbrook was then confronted by two military men who threatened him and “…asked if I was ‘patriotic’, which I thought was quite a strange question, and I didn’t really answer that because I didn’t think it was relevant, and I said so.”

Westbrook is a former U.S. citizen who became a Canadian citizen.

They told Westbrook they were military police, but they were not wearing the standard Canadian MP uniform.  The MPs called the war game a “training evolution” op.  The evolution op involved the abandoned call center, which used to be a major source of employment in the town.

It’s also interesting that the “training evolution” op involved the use of civilian vehicles.  The MPs claimed they were acquainted with the local Mounted Police (RCMP) commander, and threatened Westbrook to have the RCMP arrest him.  The local RCMP commander, Shelby Miller, swore to news media he was not told of the war game, and in regards to the MP he “Never met the man.”

You can see more here, including Westbrook’s internet audio posting of his encounter when he’s asked if he’s patriotic, and threatened because JTF2 doesn’t want their pics taken.  The MP then tells him he is not truly patriotic because he is taking pics of a military op. Westbrook insists he is not violating any Canadian laws, then starts recording video.

Exceptional Failed State: More Kmart Sears closings! Corporate America want’s crazy “power tripping” workers! Investors love it!

11 November 2013 (10:20 UTC-07 Tango)/07 Muharram 1434/20 Aban 1391/09 Gui-Hai (10th month) 4711

The following quotes partly explain what’s going on with unAmerican Corporate America.  They were found in the Ohio based derf magazine.

“Kmart has a hard time fitting into the current consumer market The discount department store paradigm shift has resulted in consumers looking elsewhere. Plus, they really like to hire crazy-eyed, power-tripping, filthy broads in the customer service department.”-Steven Walker, economist

“There is a big problem with general lack of jobs right now. However, that is mostly among workers who are competent. It seems there are many companies in America where there will always be a place for incompetent and rude employees.”-Doug Kelvin, employment analyst

“I’ve already got my resume in to Time Warner to be a phone rep.  I feel I can really put my uncooperative nature to good use with Time Warner. They might even put me in a TV commercial.  However, I worry that working with customers over the phone will not take full advantage of my deepest uncooperative skills. I guess I’ll just try to make up for that by being extra uncooperative.”-Tamara Carlina, power tripping (and sarcastic) Kmart employee

In San Clemente, California, a Kmart that was turned into a Sears, and then back into a Kmart in 2012, is being shut down.  A Kmart in Oceanside is finally being closed, it’s closing was announced back in December 2011. No word on when the final days are.

North Carolina losing another Kmart.  This ones in Garner. Local news media reports say no final closing date has been given.  Apparently the store has been on the closing list since 2012.

A Kmart in Sterling, Illinois, will close in January 2014.

The Rochester, Minnesota, Sears in the GGP owned Apache Mall to be sold off.  Sears Holdings officials gave the same BS statement about the fate of employees: “They will have an opportunity to apply for positions at other Kmart and Sears stores.”-Howard Riefs

Sears Canada selling off eight shopping centers!  The properties were sold for $315 million CAD.

Sears is trying to kiss up to military veterans offering them free shipping and extra bonus points in the Shop Your Way scheme.

Investors love what Sears Holdings is doing, the price of Sears Holdings shares remain above $55 USD per stock.

Exceptional Failed State: Kmart shoots self in foot with T-day sales! Kmart to become rent to own business? More stores being shut down! Targets of false flag terrorists?

 07 November 2013 (11:17 UTC-07 Tango)/03 Muharram 1434/16 Aban 1391/05 Gui-Hai (10th month) 4711

On 06 November, Sears Holdings announced they will sell off even more U.S. and Canadian stores (at least five Canadian stores to close) into 2014.   Investors initially liked the news sending Sears Holdings stock prices up 12% (before backing back down), despite the fact that many investor analysts continue to repeat the mantras “Avoid Sears” & “Get Out Now”.

Sears is also closing a distribution center in Regina, Saskatchewan Canada.  276 jobs lost.

Sears Holdings also announced it is considering spinning off Land’s End and Sears Auto Center, as stand alone operations.

According to reports out of Massachusetts, Kmarts across the United States are being hit with bomb threats.  So far none have proven to be legit.   Apparently on 01 November, at least three Kmarts in Massachusetts were hit with bomb threats.  Anybody see the mainstream news report this?

We can’t blame the bomb threats on Kmart’s plan to open Thanksgiving Day morning.  That announcement came after said bomb threats.  Customers and employees have expressed outrage over the T-Day plan.  Here’s job killer Kmart’s response to complaints: “Kmart is staffing w/teams & seasonal associates when possible, giving them opportunity to make extra money during holiday.”-Jennifer Brazen, Kmart twitter posting

Sears Holdings officials announced they will start a lease to own program through Kmart.  People who can’t afford to pay up front, or don’t have credit cards, can rent to own expensive merchandise.  It’s a sign of the bad economy.

Exceptional Failed State: EU to sanction U.S. companies! End sanctions against Iran! France & Germany to make joint anti-U.S. statement! EU makes historic deal with Canada!

25 October 2013 (23:01 UTC-07 Tango 24 October 2013)/20 Dhu’l-Hijja 1434/03 Aban 1391/21 Ren-Xu (9th month) 4711

“We are allies facing challenges together. But such an alliance can only be built on the basis of trust. I repeat that spying among friends is not at all acceptable against anyone and that goes for every citizen in Germany.”-Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany, Merkel used to live in the Stasi police state of East Germany so she knows the U.S. NSA spying ops are evil

“It is inconceivable and unacceptable that there should be acts of espionage of this type.”-Enrico Letta, Premier of Italy

“I cannot imagine to sign an EU-U.S. free trade agreement given that basic privacy rights have been breached.”-Sigmar Gabriel, German Social-Democratic Party

For those who don’t think the U.S. spying on its allies is a big deal, guess what? The U.S. has lost Europe as it’s only major ally!

At least 28 European Union leaders are being spied on by the NSA.   The NSA spied on at least 35 leaders around the World.

At least 70 million French phone calls have been monitored by the NSA.

Germany summons U.S. ambassador, John B Emerson, over NSA spying.

The former head of the DGSE (French intelligence), Alain Juillet, is surprised at the scale of “pillage” conducted by the U.S. NSA.  The rogue actions of the U.S. against its own allies now jeopardizes the U.S. led War on Terror.

French President Francois Hollande, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, are working together writing up a joint anti-U.S. statement. It’s reported they will make demands on the U.S. government concerning what it can and cannot do in Europe!

The European Union (EU) has sanctioned the Terrorist Finance Tracking Program (TFTP) agreement with the United  States.  That’s because the U.S. NSA used it to spy on Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT).   SWIFT supplies secure messaging services to legitimate financial companies.

The EU now says the World’s biggest free trade deal is now in jeopardy because of the United States!  It’s known as TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership).  At the current EU summit members of parliament will debate imposing sanctions against the U.S. IT companies involved with helping the NSA.  The TTIP deal could have benefited the U.S. economy by $150-billion USD.

On top of that, the EU delegate to Iran, Hannes Swoboda, stated that EU sanctions against Iran should be ended “…in a step by step manner…”

Canada and the EU have agreed, in principle, to the historic CETA (Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement).  Under the deal the EU will end 100% of its tariffs on Canadian industrial products within seven years!  The EU would also accept certification of Canadian products by Canadian inspectors.  For the Canadian auto industry it could result in a 12 times increase in exports to Europe (the Canadian auto industry is not happy with the U.S. imposed NAFTA).  Canada is supposed to apply the same trade policy to European products.  CETA also affects trade of food and intellectual property.

World War 3, U.S. Economic Front: Job losses & store closings 03-06 August 2013. Canadian company bails on California, says U.S. economy dragging them down! Japan taking over U.S. ATM industry! Social Security has already been cut, causing layoffs!

Incomplete list of announced closings and layoffs:

AOL laid off another undisclosed number of employees.

Apple subsidiary FileMaker laid off 20 employees.

Internet shopping innovator, Geek.com, has abandoned the internet and will now operate traditional brick & mortar stores.

Alabama: At Fort Rucker, tax sucking military aircraft maintenance contractor, Army Fleet Support, laid off 70 employees.  Apparently the U.S. Army is intentionally reducing aircraft flights to save money on fuel, but that also means a reduction in aircraft maintenance intervals.  In Jefferson County, two Food World grocery stores closed.  The parent company, Belle Foods, is bankrupt and will close/sell off stores in several states.

California: In La Jolla, Kashi closed down. 28 people laid off.  In San Jose, Bon Appetit Management closed, 188 people out-o-work!  In Hayward, for profit legal drugs pusher, Impax Labs, laid off 142 employees! The FDA rejected Impax’s new costly Parkinson’s drug.  In Fontana, Canadian based trucking company, Viatran Express, ended U.S. operations. Company officials said they had to get out of the U.S. economy if they were to remain profitable! 87 California jobs lost.  In Los Angeles, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center laid off 113 employees!  In Bassett, National Envelope shut down, 147 jobs lost!  For the reason see Wisconsin, below.  In Yuba, Rideout Health laid off 13 employees. Originally 90 employees were gonna get the axe.  Company officials are struggling to adjust their operating budget to the new Obama Care funding.

Colorado: In Colorado Springs, Lang’s Shoes closed.

Florida: In Miami, AgroTrade America laid off 157 employees!  No official reason given. Homewrecker RealAuction.com/RealForeclosure.com now bankrupt.  Good!  ATM operator, Global Axcess, sold its assets for $10 Million USD, then went bankrupt!  U.S. news reports said the ATM operations were sold to a California based company, however, according to a report in The Japan Times the so-called California company is really a front (“wholly owned U.S. subsidiary”) for a Japanese company called Seven Banks. In Orlando, Orlando Health laid off hundreds of employees in a second round of cuts.  Hospital officials warned back in November 2012 they were forced to layoff up to 400 employees, due to a 20% cut in Medicaid funding (thank you Obama Care)!  In West Boca, popular kids indoor playcenter, Playtown Cafe, shut down. It’s blamed on the property owner and property developers.

Idaho: In Caldwell, the Canyon County Animal Shelter warned of layoffs due to county budget concerns and crashing donations!

Illinois: Allsup, a company that helps people with their disability funding, laid off 65 employees.  Company officials blame it on the U.S. Social Security Administration.  Company officials also warned of more possible layoffs due to the rip off called Obama Care.

Indiana: In Lafayette, heavy equipment maker Caterpillar laid off 125 people!  Company officials blame their crashing sales on the dead economy in Europe, and a slowing economy in China.

Kentucky: Fruit of the Loom laid off an undisclosed number of employees.  Company officials would only say it was less than 100.  The United States Enrichment [Uranium] Corporation began laying off employees at its Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant.  The first round will put 160 people out-o-work.  It’s blamed on high production costs and falling nuclear fuel prices.

Maryland: In Hagerstown, women’s clothing store Lena’s closed.  The store’s manager/investor said the economy is dead: “The economic situation in Hagerstown and Washington County is, I mean I know others may say other things, but to me it is pretty devastated!”-Lori Ruda

Massachusetts: In Wesseley, the 84 years old upscale women’s clothing Triangle Shop closed. The greedy property owner suddenly canceled the lease, no warning.  The current shop owner is hoping to re-open in a new location.

New Hampshire: Stop & Shop grocery stores shut down across the state.  670 people out-o-work!  It sounds like BS to me because the corporate officials said the grocery stores “…have not achieved performance goals…”, they never said the stores were losing money.

New York: In NYC, Green Chimneys-Gramercy Group Residence for homeless homosexual children closed after hidden video cameras revealed physical abuse of children by staff.  Teenagers also claimed sexual and financial exploitation.  43 people deservedly unemployed. Upstate Cerebral Palsy laid off 26 teachers. It’s blamed on a sudden and unexpected crash in student enrollment: “We can’t refer students if we don’t have them.”-Lori Eccleston, Utica City School District

North Carolina: The Craven County School District laid off 36 teachers.  It’s blamed on $1.27 million in state funding cuts!  In Rockingham, the Goodman Furniture store closed.

Pennsylvania: In Johnstown, Yankee Shoe Repair factory shut down after 92 years of operations. The owner blamed a multitude of things: “Without sufficient skilled staff, and considering current footwear buying trends, coupled with economic conditions, the long term stability of the business was in jeopardy…Given the materials used in footwear today, 95% of the shoes people buy can’t be repaired.”-Larry Coco

South Carolina: In Clinton non-profit Alzheimer’s care center, Senior Options, laid off 21 more staff.  Back in March they laid off 20 drivers, a direct result of cuts to Medicaid funding (Obama Care)!  In Aiken, funding cuts from the U.S. Department of Energy forces Shaw Project Services Group/Savannah River Remediation to layoff 485 employees!  Also in Aiken, AREVA Federal Services laid off 28 employees.  In Landrum, the Christian God can’t stop the Blue Ridge Christian Academy from shutting down.  School officials said they couldn’t raise enough funding for the school year.  The school also caused controversy with a science test given to fourth graders last year.

Tennessee: In Memphis, tech startup Work for Pie failed.  Lack of revenue is blamed.

Texas: In Midland, AT&T closed down, 101 people unemployed! In Roanoke, Ryder Logistics closed down, 60 people unemployed.

Wisconsin: In Appleton, bankrupt National Envelope shut down after being sold off.  153 people unemployed!  Employees across the country affected as well.

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 shut down.

Pale Horse: Measles scare used as False Flag to justify Bilderberg vaccination program? War on Terror is to blame! Money to be made!

06 October 2013 (18:14 UTC-07 Tango 05 October 2013)/01 Dhu’l-Hijja 1434/14 Mehr 1391/02 Ren-Xu (9th month) 4711

Australia: Health officials are freaking out because they’ve confirmed an 18th case of measles in Ipswich.  Adults are being pushed to get vaccinated.  In Toowoomba health officials are telling people to go ahead and get more vaccines, if they’re not sure they’ve already had the shots. Health officials say they’ve found that many people who thought they’ve been vaccinated, were not.  Members of parliament are now debating whether children who are not vaccinated should be banned from schools and childcare centers!  Hey, if the other kids are vaccinated then what’s the problem, or is there some doubt as to the effectiveness of the vaccine?

Canada: Government health officials are having a tizzy because people in Alberta are refusing to get vaccinated.  There are outbreaks of measles in British Columbia and Ontario.  I’d like to know the vaccination rates where the outbreaks are, versus in Alberta (so far there are no measles cases in Alberta).  Alberta Health Services says the outbreaks in BC and Ontario are directly related to people who traveled to Netherlands, where they got infected.

China: Pharmaceutical companies are making big money peddling their vaccines to the Asian giant.  According to Research Report on China Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) Vaccine Market, 2013-2017, in 2012 20-million MMR vaccines were issued.  However, the marketing report said the numbers were a decrease from previous years, but there’s still hope for increased sales, because the report said China has 16 million newborns every year.  The report pointed out that the numbers quoted were those vaccines issued by the government.  Most Chinese, who can afford the out of pocket expense, elected to pay for more expensive “imported” vaccines.

Democratic Republic of Congo:  Government officials are forcing six million children to get vaccinated.  The program is being run through the United Nations and the GAVI Alliance (aka Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation).  Health officials claim 1120 children have died, so far this year, from measles.

Ghana: Over a nine day period 52-thousand children were vaccinated in Sunyani Municipality.  Health officials were upset because they fell short of their goal.

Japan: Rubella (German Measles) cases hit a record 13700+ cases, so far this year, despite the fact that the Japanese government has been pushing for citizens to get vaccinated (Japanese health officials have discovered that the measles vaccine is temporary, so even if you had it as a kid you probably need to get it again as an adult).  The U.S. CDC has issued a travel advisory for people going to Japan (never mind the radiation).

Nigeria: National Primary Health Care Development Agency pushing a vaccination program for 35 million children!  They used a 2011 outbreak as justification, saying more than 8-thousand people got sick.  Mmmm, 35 million versus 8-thousand.  However, Nigerian health officials claim that from January this year to the end of September 330 people have died from measles.  That’s 126 more than the same time last year.  Is there something more deadly about this new strain of measles?

Philippines: War in the southern islands is being blamed for an outbreak of measles.  Refugees are always caught in the middle, and several cases of measles now has government health officials demanding the sick refugees be isolated.  They have also begun forced vaccinations.

South Sudan: At least 44 children confirmed with measles in the past week.  All are six years of age, or younger.  United Nations wants to vaccinate 31-thousand children in the country.

Turkey: For the NATO member who is supporting the U.S. backed war in Syria, there is a 20 fold increase in measles cases!  In the first six months of 2012 Turkey had 349 cases, in the first six months of this year they had 6-thousand cases!  Interestingly many cases are showing up in refugees from Syria.  Turkish health officials say the war in Syria is resulting in an epidemic in that country: “There are 50,000 Aleppo boil cases in Syria according to official data, but 200,000 according to non-official figures.”-Mehmet Ali Torunoğlu, Public Health Institution

United Kingdom: Health officials pushing for vaccinations of children in Wales.  The Welsh land is reported to have just gotten over its biggest measles outbreak ever.  1200 people were infected, one child died.  In Greater Manchester, England, measles cases have skyrocketed.  In 2012 there were 15 cases from January to June.  This year there were 242 cases in the same time span.

United States: Measles was considered officially eradicated in 2000, but now state health departments around the country are pushing to get children vaccinated.  This is based on their fears that several U.S. residents had visited other countries experiencing measles outbreaks, and returned infected.  U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned that the United States is heading for a record year in measles cases (since the eradication). To put things in perspective, there are at least 360-million people in the U.S., the CDC is getting hissy because they think more than 2-hundred people might get measles. The Gates Foundation has been pushing the Global Measles Initiative.  Bill Gates has attended several Bilderberg meetings (his name has been published on the guest list on the Bilderberg website).  Non-profit Global Virus Network (co-founded by Bliderberg supporter G. Steven Burrill) has also been sounding the vaccination call in the U.S.

In the U.S. state of Texas a recent measles outbreak was linked to the Eagle Mountain megachurch.  At least 21 people were infected. Texas health officials say prior to that August outbreak five people were sick with a strain of measles that was “imported” into the country.  Texas has not reported any new cases since August.  Going by local news reports at least 18 U.S. states reported measles cases, mainly among people who traveled out of the country or from tourists coming into the country: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, Virginia and Washington.

There are reports of U.S. families who are pro-vaccination are discriminating against children of families who are anti-vaccination.  Hey, if your kid is vaccinated then what’s the freakin’ problem?  They should be protected from measles then, right?  Or maybe the pro-vacciners really don’t trust the vaccines after all?

United Nations World Health Organization reports that more than 70-thousand children died in South East Asia from measles, in 2011.  That made up almost half of the entire World’s measles deaths for that year.

The GAVI Alliance is not only directly connected to the Bilderberger Bill Gates, but is funded with tax dollars from Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Republic of Korea, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom and United States.

Ever hear of Infectious Disease Testing Market 2014 Opportunities?  It involves U.S., U.K., Italy and Japan.  It analyzes potential diseases and possible sales volume of vaccines over the next five years: “These comprehensive reports will assist diagnostics industry executives, as well as companies planning to diversify into the dynamic and rapidly expanding microbiology testing market, in evaluating emerging opportunities and developing effective business strategies.”–PRWeb

It’s all about the money, man!

Iowa: Coral Ridge Mall (it’s official the Sears is closing, see above), and Mall of the Bluffs

Texas: The Woodlands Mall (this does not involve the two repair centers being closed by Sears)

Florida: West Oaks Mall

Utah: Fashion Place, and Provo Towne Centre (note the evil British empire way of spelling town & center. Due to a favorable lease agreement the GGP owned Provo Sears will continue to stay open under Sears Holdings management)

Oklahoma: Quail Springs Mall (it’s official, the Sears closed, see above)

Hawaii: Ala Moana Center (closed, see above)

Washington: Bellis Fair Mall (Bellingham store, see above)

Minnesota: Apache Mall  (see update above, GGP will close Sears store by 2014)

More Fukushima Fallout: Japan misleads with latest radiation report! TEPCo so incompetent it must be ‘taught’ how to measure radiation!!!

“Technical advisors employed by the NRA have been working on teaching TEPCo the way of radiation monitoring and advising TEPCo to map an on-site radiation distribution.”-Nuclear Regulation Authority report, 05 September 2013

Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) announced that it has finally begun to take part in regular safety inspections at Fukushima Daiichi, on 04 September 2013, more than two years after the nuke melt downs began!

The NRA has also released Pacific Ocean contamination data, collected by Tokyo Electric Power Company over the past six months.  However, when you realize how the two major North Pacific Ocean currents work, you’ll realize the collection points are fallacious.

TEPCo collects ocean water samples at two dubious points; along the coastline north of Fukushima Daiichi, and along the coastline south of Fukushima Daiichi.

Collection point north data shows cesium 137 (Cs-137) hit 3.3 becquerels per liter in June, and tritium (H-3) hit 8.6 becquerels per liter, also in June.  Collection point south data is considered “under limit of detection”, which does not mean there is no radiation, it means it’s at a level officials believe is safe.

Collection point north is 30 meters (98 feet) from the cooling water outlet for Reactors 5 and 6.  Back in 2011 the public was told those reactors were OK, but, they were suffering cooling problems as well.

Collection point south is 1.3 kilometers (0.8 mile) from the cooling outlet for Reactors 1, 2, 3 and 4.  Reactors that are in slow burn melt down.

These reported radiation levels are perplexing to me because it seems the groundwater under Fukushima Daiichi is reported to have much higher levels of contamination, and it’s pouring right into the Pacific Ocean.  This brings me to my point: TEPCo’s collection points are bogus.

The collection points are north and south of the reactors, but, the contaminated groundwater flows out northward at first, then eastward to Canada and the United States.   This is due to the convergence of the North Pacific Ocean’s main current called Kuroshio (Black Current or Black Tide) coming up from the south, and the Oyashio (Parental Current or Parental Tide, aka Kurile Current) coming from the north.  They converge, conveniently, at Hokkaido and the north eastern end of Honshu (where Fukushima Daiichi is).

This northward then eastward flow of water, from Fukushima Daiichi, could explain why radiation levels at the southern collection point are lower than the northern collection point.  Also, collection point south is too far away from the disaster site to affected by the contaminated groundwater anyway!

Collection point north, while almost 100 feet from the site, could still be far enough away from where the aquifer is entering into the ocean.  Both northern and southern collection points are outside the man made breakwaters along Fukushima Daiichi’s Pacific front.  The northern collection area is actually blocked by the northern breakwater.

Independent testing done by individuals and NGOs, at places like the mouths of rivers flowing into the ocean, and further out to sea, shows radiation levels are much higher than what TEPCo has been reporting.   Now that the NRA is in charge will we get more accurate reports?

More Fukushima Fallout: More confirmation groundwater pouring into Pacific Ocean is radioactive!

Tokyo Electric Power Company says a monitoring well dug 10 meters (32.8 feet) from a contaminated water tank farm, is contaminated with deadly beta rays.

A water sample was taken at 7 meters (22.9 feet) depth, which means it is at the level of the aquifer that flows under Fukushima Daiichi (amazing; they built a nuke plant over such an aquifer).  The sample contained 650 becquerels per liter of beta contamination, including strontium.  The aquifer flows into the Pacific Ocean at a rate of at least 300 to 1-thousand metric tons per day.

The Black Tide (Kuroshio) of the Pacific Ocean flows from Northern Japan across to British Columbia/Washington/Oregon.  As I warned in April 2011.
