Government Incompetence: Japanese leaders unaware of their own Nuclear Disaster prediction RadNet system!

An investigation by an independent panel discovered that there is indeed a nuclear disaster plan already in place at the national government level in Japan.  But, the Prime Minister’s administration was not aware of it!

Of course, former Prime Minister Kan Naoto and four other politicians blame the Science Ministry officials for not telling them about a computer program/radiation detection sites called SPEEDI (System Prediction Environmental Emergency Dose Information).

The system is similar to the U.S. EPA’s RadNet system (which mysteriously stopped working iimmediately after March 11, 2011).

Former Cabinet Secretary Edano Yukio said he found out about it from the Japanese media.  By then, the Fukushima Daiichi reactor 2 was already spewing radiation.

Edano said when he questioned the Science Ministry politicians about it, they told him SPEEDI was not accurate.

The investigators discovered that SPEEDI is being used to convince local governments the nuclear plants were safe!  So why, when determining plans to deal with a nuclear disaster, SPEEDI is considered inaccurate?

What Economic Recovery? S&P’s declares Greece in default of debt! Proof that re-negotiating your debt won’t save you!

February 27, 2012, Standard & Poor’s declares Greece to be in default!  S&P’s blamed it on the debt restructuring deal currently being negotiated.

Greek officials say they were expecting it. Other credit rating agencies are expected to do the same thing.  This makes Greece the first European Union member to default.

S&P’s explained that loan contracts state that loan restructuring is condition for default status: “As we have previously stated, we may view an issuer’s unilateral change of the original terms and conditions of an obligation as a de facto restructuring and thus a default by Standard & Poor’s published definition.”

World War 3: Proof that Israelis are Re-negers! Portent of things to come in the U.S. under NDAA 2012

“The zionist regime has reneged on the swap deal…Egypt, who brokered the deal, must oblige the Israelis to respect it and release the prisoners…”-Islam Abdo, Hamas

At the end of 2011 Israel agreed to release at least 1,000 Palestinian Gazans (the overwhelming majority never being charged with any crime), in exchange for one Israeli soldier held captive in Gaza.

A California based human rights group, Israeli forces are now arbitrarily re-arresting those Gazans!  Israel is reneging on its promise (not surprising).

“These re-arrests…are part of Israel’s ongoing repression of just[ified] resistance by the Palestinian people against the ongoing occupation, apartheid and siege imposed upon their land.”-Joe Catron, activist

Some of those re-arrested, including women, are on hunger strike.  Hamas is calling upon Egypt to intervene!

People of the United States should take heed, because the tactics being used by Israel, to arbitrarily arrest people, could be used under the NDAA 2012 act, passed by Republican dominated Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama.

World War 3: Afghans call for Global Muslim March on Jerusalem Al-Quds!!!

The following is a statement released by various organizations in Afghanistan calling for a Global March on Jerusalem (GMJ):

In the service of our dear and faithful brothers and sisters in the “Program for the Asian Co-ordination of the Global March to Jerusalem”.

May the peace and blessing of God be upon you.

The reality is that Jerusalem is the bloodied heart of the Islamic world. Jerusalem, the place which is a representative of the existence of the religion and culture of Islam, has been under the boots of despotism and occupation for more than 60 years. Our faithful brothers and sisters have been bloodthirstily sent to their deaths by the hands of Zionism and international Crusades. For six decades the people of these lands have been driven out of their homes, the conspiracies of the arrogant powers have rendered their homes demolished and their land has been usurped. Millions of refugees, who are citizens of Palestine, have been driven far from their territories and a combination of all these factors has created a major catastrophe in the Middle East. It is obvious that the clear religion of Islam, with decisive arguments from the book of God and his Prophet (PBUH), does not tolerate these terrible crimes.

It is also apparent that our dear Islam has made clear what our responsibilities are in light of the divine constitutions. 60 years of deadly silence despite the power of the Arab Middle East has been against the direction of the actions of an Islamic nation. In these 60 years the rulers and statesmen of Islamic countries have had plenty of time which has been put to waste.

However, luckily the last ten years have resulted in the emergence of a different plot, this being the result of the establishment of popular governments and the falling of those hands which were connected with colonialism. Especially the flooding by these popular revolutions of the last strongholds, or embassy (or “den of spying”), in the Islamic countries showed us that this regime is no more in a position where it can create more enemies from amongst the Muslims.

Dear brothers and sisters!

Taking into account all of the above, the Islamic circuits in Afghanistan with the Islamic Movement of Afghanistan and the Council of the Friends of Jerusalem have united in one voice and have answered positively to your call. We will not hesitate in our selflessness or cooperation to make sure the goals set out by this group are made into reality. The same way that the Islamic Movement of Afghanistan has praised and taken this reasonable step, it invites all the Muslim brothers and sisters of Afghanistan, Islamic world and other Muslims worldwide to wish good luck (to this movement) and we desire that they cooperate and assist this caravan till it has reached that which it has set out for.

With Respect,

1.Islamic Movement of Afghanistan
2.The Cultural Council of the Friends of Jerusalem
3. Organization of Muslim Youth in Afghanistan
4. The Council of Scholars in Afghanistan
5. The Reformation Council of Afghanistan
6. Missionaries of Social Justice in Afghanistan

What Economic Recovery: British officials admit there is no more money!

Chancellor George Osborne admits: “The British government has run out of money because all the money was spent in the good years, the money and the investment and the jobs need to come from the private sector.”

“Any tax cut would have to be paid for. In other words there would have to be a tax rise somewhere else or a spending reduction.  In other words what we are not going to do in this budget is borrow more money to either increase spending or cut taxes.”

Foreign Minister Jeremy Browne said: “Britain’s market share in the world used to be dominant but is now in freefall compared with the soaring economies of Asia and South America. This situation has been becoming more acute for years. It is now staring us in the face. So we need to take action”

World War 3: Record turnout in Syrian voting, 90% say Yes to new Constitution, Still Europe ignores it and backs failing Syrian National Council

On February 26, Syrians turned out to vote on a new Constitution.  Some areas reported record numbers of voters.

According to Syria’s Interior Minister, Mohammad Ibrahim al-Shaar, 89.4% voted in favor a new Constitution!

Despite the warmongering of the United States and Europe, the new Syrian Constitution ends 50 years of rule by the Ba’ath party.  Article 23 supports women’s rights. Article 42 allows peaceful demonstrations.   New presidents will be allowed to be elected to 2 seven year terms in office.

Meanwhile, 27 European countries announced that they will recognize only the Syrian National Council as the true government of Syria.  The Syrian National Council is not supported by voters, and in fact is already breaking up.  On February 26, 20 members left and formed the Syrian Patriotic Group.

The West’s ignoring of the record setting Syrian voting on a new Constitution, and the West’s increased support for illegitimate organizations, is proof  that the West is not concerned about human rights, but only about oil and natural gas!

What Economic Recovery: G20 says no more money for the IMF, until Greece makes even more draconian cuts! Wants U.S. to end Volcker Rules!

27 February 2012

The Group of 20 finance ministers and central bank chiefs, meeting in Mexico, said they will not provide the International Monetary Fund anymore money until Europe, specifically Greece, makes more even drastic government cuts.

This follows reports that the World Bank will issue a report warning China to privatize its remaning government held businesses.  Many analysts believe what the G20 really wants is total privatization of governments.

Yesterday I speculated that the problems of Greece are actually related to its lack of participation in the developing of the Leviathan gas and oil fields. Greece is also being pushed to privatize many government services.

The G20 also demanded that the United States back off of its Volcker banking rule, which was created to tighten the regulation of runaway too big to fail banks!  The Volcker rule is supposed to stop banks from using customer deposits to make investments strictly for the banks own profit! G20 officials claim the Volcker rule are interfering with international banking!

The Volcker rule doesn’t even go into effect until July, 2012!

Medical Incompetence: Japanese hospitals not prepared for nuclear disaster in nuclear power dominated Japan!

Japan’s Nuclear Safety Commission reviewed the ability of hospitals to deal with nuclear accidents.  The results were not good.

The found that five hospitals, located near the General Electric designed Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, were not able to deal with the nuclear disaster.

Fukushima Medical University Hospital, a core care facility for radiation exposure, was too busy dealing with victims of the natural disasters, to be able to deal with victims of the nuclear disaster.

The Nuclear Safety Commission discovered a huge problem; Japanese hospitals are not set up to co-operate with each other regarding major disasters.  This would have been a great help. They are now working on new policy that will include such co-operation in the future.

World War 3: Day 6 Afghan riots, Karzai welcomes anti-U.S. protests, demands U.S. officials be put on trial, more children killed by U.S. led forces

“We strongly condemn the burning of the Holy Qur’an by the Americans and welcome the protests!”-Hamid Karzai, President of Afghanistan

Despite the U.S. media reporting Karzai calling for calm, on February 26, 2012, the President of Afghanistan said he supports the current anti-U.S. demonstrations.  He, and other Afghan officials, are demanding the prosecution of those responsible for burning dozens of Qur’ans at Bagram Airfield.

Arrogant U.S. Defense Secretary, Leon Panetta, told Afghan officials it was their responsibility to protect U.S. troops.  How many times have Afghan officials asked the U.S. to protect their civilians!

Also on the sixth day of riots, in Kunduz Province Afghans threw a grenade that wounded seven U.S. troops.

In Kapisa Province, French forces bombed and killed at least three civilians, two of which were children. This is the second time this month that French forces targeted children!

In Samangan Province, as many as 4,000 Afghans attacked local police stations, and a U.S. base.
