Pale Green Horse & Government Evil: Japan breaks own laws and destroys Nuclear Disaster meeting records!

I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him.  They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

The Japanese news media agency, NHK, has discovered that the Japanese Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency has destroyed (or never kept) records of at least 21 nuclear disaster meetings, in direct violation of Japanese law!

NHK discovered the illegal act when it demanded to see the public records of the meetings.  What NHK got was a list of items discussed at the meetings, but no detailed minutes.

NHK was told no records of the actual discussions were kept.  NHK says Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency officials told them they were too busy to keep records!

The meetings took place after the General Electric designed Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant went critical following the 11 March 2011, earthquake and tsunamis.

Also missing are records of government meetings with the operator of Fukushima Daiichi, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo).

NHK says they wanted to see the documents because they were part of the government’s disaster reaction decision making.  Both the Japanese government, and TEPCo, have been accused of dragging their feet, taking too little action in dealing with the ongoing nuclear disaster.

Pale Green Horse & Corporate & Government Incompetence: Radioactive construction gravel shipped all over Japan!

I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him.  They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

Japan’s Industry Ministry now admits that since the March, 2011, nuclear disaster in Fukushima Prefecture, construction gravel from that area has been shipped all over Japan, and it’s radioactive!

The ministry was forced to make the admission after an occupied apartment building tested positive for high levels of cesium (more on the inside of the building than on the outside).

Industry officials said they did not think there would be a problem with the gravel since it is first dug up out of the ground.  Apparently they didn’t think it would be contaminated while sitting on the ground waiting to be shipped out, after all the Fukushima Daiichi reactors are still spewing radiation!

The gravel quarry operator said at least 20 construction companies took on large amounts of gravel just from the end of March through April, 2011.

Pale Green Horse & Corporate & Government Incompetence: New Japanese apartment building is radioactive, residents contaminated with Cesium!

I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him.  They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

In Fukushima Prefecture, a newly built apartment building has proven to be highly radioactive.  In fact, local Nihonmatsu City officials say the building emits more radiation on the inside, than on the outside!

Construction of the three story building was finished in July, 2011, almost four months after the beginning of the on going nuclear disaster at Fukushima Daiichi.  People are already living in the apartments!

Officials found that the inside of the building, on the first floor, is emitting 1.24 microsieverts per hour of cesium.  It looks as if the foundation of the building is the source of radiation, because radiation levels decrease as you go to the upper levels.

Turns out the construction company got its foundation material from inside the 20km no go evacuation zone around the nuclear plant!  But why did Nihonmatsu City officials wait until the end of December to inspect the building for radiation, after people had moved in? Apparently no one thought about it, until children living in the building turned out to have more cesium contamination than other children in the city! Can you say incompetence?

Government Incompetence: Only 330 cats & dogs rescued from radiation zone in Japan, hundreds more still roaming lose!

The Japanese government announced that 330 cats and dogs have been rescued from the no entry zone around the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, just in the month of December.

The Environment Ministry, and government of Fukushima Prefecture, have conducted rescue operations for dogs and cats.  However, citizens groups have been doing their own rescuing since 11 March 2011.

Several pet rescue blogs talk about the difficulty of dealing with government bureaucracy, in trying to get into the no entry zone.  Some citizen pet rescuers broke the law by going into the highly contaminated area without government permission.

Pet shelters in Japan need financial support to help care for those pets that’ve been rescued. Many pets lost their human companions to the tsunamis. Most pet rescues took place in the tsunami hit areas, but relatively little has been done in the radiation danger zone.

For those who can help, you can check out globalanimal.org. They have contact info of several of the private rescue groups in Japan, and interesting animal rescue stories.

FOOD CRISIS: HALF MILLION LIVESTOCK STARVING TO DEATH IN JAPAN!

Black Horse: March 11, 2011 Japan disasters destroy more than 500 companies, car sales lowest in 3 decades, record unemployment

Private credit firm Teikoku Databank says Japan’s March 11 disasters forced 510 companies to fail by December 31, 2011.  All together the companies had more than $9 billion in debt.

The construction sector had the most bankruptcies.  But even though contracts for repairing disaster hit areas are finally increasing, the struggling economy is causing a decline in construction in other parts of Japan, basically canceling out the effect of increased construction contracts in disaster areas.

For the Japanese automotive sector, sales of Japanese cars are at the lowest point in 34 years!  It’s all because of the quakes and tsunamis, and the ongoing nuclear disaster, directly affecting parts production for Japan’s car makers (add to that the recent flooding in Thailand which is having the same effect).

The result is that many of Japan’s major companies are moving production to other countries like China.  Of course that means unemployment is skyrocketing.

In August the Japanese Labor Ministry reported a record 38 year high in unemployment percentage. In November the official number of unemployed Japanese hit 2.88 million!

…there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a day’s wages, and three quarts of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”

“…the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake…”: Japan record number of earthquakes, almost 10,000 for 2011!

Japan’s Meteorological Agency said 6,757 aftershocks, directly related to the March 11 quake, hit Japan right up to December 31, 2011.

But that’s just the aftershocks. Officials also said the total number of earthquakes to hit Japan in 2011 were 9,723. That’s seven times the number of quakes in 2010!

Officials with the Meteorological Agency told people to expect more quakes for years to come.  In fact, on January 1, 2012, Japan was hit with a magnitude 7 quake off the east coast of Honshu.

Government & Corporate Incompetence: Ohio suffering mass earthquakes, officials blame Fracking. Not the first time; Arkansas blamed Fracking on increased quakes back in July

“The earthquakes will trickle on as a kind of a cascading process once you’ve caused them to occur. This one year of pumping is a pulse that has been pushed into the ground, and it’s going to be spreading out for at least a year.”-John Armbruster, Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory

On New Year’s Eve, Ohio had a 4.0 quake.  It’s part of many quakes the state has suffered since March 2011.  Now state lawmakers are banning the energy industry’s practice of Fracking.

Energy companies inject chemically heavy water, under extreme pressures, deep into the ground.  It releases natural gas from shale. The gas is used mainly for the oil industry’s hydrogen cracking process, which makes fuels cleaner burning.

For a long time it’s been claimed that fracking pollutes underground water sources, but the industry has successfully fought off such claims.  Another claim is that it could cause earthquakes.

Now, seismologists with the U.S. Geological Survey have testified to Ohio officials that the state’s unusual quake activity is directly related to fracking wastewater injection.

In July, the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission banned  fracking wastewater injection, because of increased earthquake activity.

Energy companies doing the fracking are taking their wastewater and injecting it deep into underground sand deposits, to get rid of it.  Scientists say the problem is that the companies have overshot the underground sand beds, and are basically pressurizing fault lines.

World War 3 & One World Government: 12 Warning signs from Argentine Political Analyst

The following warning signs came from Adrian Salbuchi, a political analyst in Argentina.

1) Financial Meltdown. Since 2008, the Global Financial System continues on life-support. Ben Bernanke, Timothy Geithner and the US economic hit team – Robert Rubin, Larry Summers and Goldman Sachs, CitiGroup, JPMorganChase mega-bankers working with the Bank of England and the European Central Bank – have not and will not take any measures to help the populace and ailing economies.  They just funnel trillions to the banking elite, imposing the media myth that certain banks are “too big to fail” (Orwellian Newspeak for “too damn powerful to fail”). Why? Because it’s not governments overseeing, supervising and controlling Goldman Sachs, CitiCorp, HSBC, Deutsche Bank, JPMorganChase, but exactly the other way around…

2) Economic Crises.  Today, “Destructive Extreme Capitalism” [like Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital] is collapsing national and regional economies, reformatting them into international slave-labour Gulag-like entities that Joseph Stalin would envy.   Our woes lie not with the world’s real economy (mostly intact), but with the fake world of finance, banks, and speculation;

3) Social Upheavals.  Meltdowns in Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Iceland and – soon to come – Italy, Spain and others, trigger violent social uprisings, even in the US and UK;

4) Pandemics.  Get ready for more “flu surprises” leading to mandatory vaccinations: a discreet opportunity to slip RFID chips into our bodies and test “intelligent viruses” targeting specific DNA strains.  Racially and ethnically selective viruses as part of mass depopulation campaigns?

5) Global Warming. As the global economy sinks into zero growth mode, economic drivers shift from growth expansion to consumption contraction. Will coming “carbon credits” open the path to full societal control?

6) Terrorist “False Flag” Mega-Attacks. The Elite have this wildcard up their sleeve to jump-start new “crises” as short-cuts towards world government.  Will new “attacks” dwarfing 9/11 justify further global wars, invasions and genocide?  A nuclear weapon over a major city to be blamed on the Elite’s “enemies”?

7) Generalized War in the Middle East. As we speak, naval forces, bombers, entire armies are poised to attack and invade Syria, Iran…

8) Ecological/Environmental “Accidents”. The 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident sparked the beginning of the end of the former USSR by showing the world and the Soviets themselves that their State could no longer manage their own nuclear facilities.  April 2010 saw the BP “Deepwater Horizon” oil rig eco-catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico; since March 2011, Japan and the world have been grappling with a much larger nuclear accident in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex.  Was foul play involved?

9) Assassination of a major political or religious figure to be blamed on an Elite enemy.  Mossad, CIA, MI6 are really good at playing this type of dirty trick;

10) Attacks on “Rogue States” – Iraq, Libya… Who’s next? Iran? Syria?  Venezuela?  North Korea?

11) Staged “Religious” Event. The growing need of the masses for meaning in their lives makes them easy victims of a Hollywood-staged, 3D virtual reality hologram show, orchestrating a “second coming”.  An electronically engineered “messianic figure” acting in sync with Elite global objectives?   Who would dare go against God himself?

12) Staged “Alien Contact.” This too may be in the works.  For decades, large sectors of world population have been programmed to believe in aliens.  Here too, hologram technology could stage a “space vehicle landing” – on the White House lawn, of course – highlighting the “need” for Mankind to have “unified representation” in the face of extraterrestrials.  Further justification for world government?

Pacific Ring of Fire: First big quake of 2012 hits Japan, magnitude 7

Japan’s Meteorological Agency says a magnitude 7.0 earthquake hit near the Torishima Island in the Pacific Ocean.

The tremors were felt from Tokyo up to Fukushima, on Honshu, and felt in the southern part of Hokkaido.  On the land the quake registered as a 4 magnitude using the Japanese quake scale.

So far no damage reported, and no fears of tsunami.

Global Food Crisis: 80% of damaged Japanese farmland unusable in 2012!

The Japanese government announced that it hopes to restore farmland damaged by salt contamination, caused by the March tsunamis.  However, only 20% will be restored in 2012, leaving 80% unusable.

Most of that farmland is in Fukushima, Miyagi and Iwate Prefectures.  Those prefectures make up one of the largest agricultural areas of Japan.  About 20,500 hectares (50,656 acres) were destroyed by the sea salt.

The Agriculture Ministry says it will take at least three years to restore the farmland, and that does not count the land in highly radioactive areas around the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.

It’s interesting that the earthquake, tsunamis and ongoing nuclear disaster hit one of Japan’s biggest areas for agriculture and fishing.
