I know you won’t hear much on Fukushima in the MSM, but the fact is that reactor #2 has a huge hole in its side and xenon has been measured in radical numbers, suggesting that fission has restarted. I don’t know, but I bet you a dollar to a donut that this poison has been constantly spewing and filling our atmosphere and oceans. And I would also venture to say that many of us will suffer from this disaster at some point.
As bad as it would be as an “accident”, what if there was something done on purpose. Or, not much better, what if a bug made by Israel/American covert hackers to cause Iran’s nuclear plant to have problems got loose and is now causing problems for the Japanese plants that use the same Siemens controllers?
I don’t know about you, but I put nothing past these murdering freaks.
2. Stuxnet is deployed to wreck Iran’s nuclear power station.
3. But Stuxnet escapes from its intended target and spreads across Asia!
4. As the above article documents, Stuxnet was in Japan last October, presumably still spreading and intended to wreck nuclear power plants.
5. Stuxnet targets the Siemens controller
6. Fukushima uses the Seimens controllers Stuxnet was designed interfere with!
So now the difficulty the Fukushima nuclear plant operators faced in recovering control over their runaway reactors takes on a darker significance. Remember that the first problem following the quake was that the automated shutdown systems failed to operate at some of the reactors, because pumps failed and valves would not open even while running on batteries; the very sorts of mischief Stuxnet supposedly was designed to cause at Iran’s power station.

Has anyone else noticed all the uptick in earthquakes and volcanic activity? I mean, in all my life, I don’t remember hearing so much about earthquakes happening so frequently. Until I started following this stuff, I really didn’t think about frequency, or the average size of earthquakes. It was a weird phenomena that I had only experienced in a very minor way (firsthand), having been awakened from a nap in northeast Mississippi back in ’76 or ’77, and then had seen the damage (firsthand) in San Fransisco in the early 90′s. Sure, I saw TV coverage of those far away exotic destinations that were ‘stupid to build’ there, but it was sporadic and only when it was horrible.
So, maybe with technology advancements and access to the internet, I just have access to more info and all things are the same between then and now.
Yeah. Right.
The severity is “highly unusual” (at least the latest in Virginia).
I have been mentioning this here for the past several months (especially since Fukushima). Either I am brainwashed to believe there is an increase in frequency and magnitude, OR, it is really happening. Feel free to let me know what you think in the comments section.
Either way, I saw an interesting blog post containing an old “In search of…” video which tells us we ain’t got much time left.
Mr Spock informs us that the cataclysmic event is closer than we think (go to the segment starting at 4:27 or the direct quote at 4:45):
So, what if the 2012 date is wrong? What if we have but a few months left?
”On December 24, 2011 a cataclysmic earthquake will terminate their cycle of civilization”
And did you catch this part?
“…And lead the people to create a world government“
Personally, I really don’t know if there is going to be some event that ends our civilization, but from what I am seeing in the greed and desperate thievery going on, it would not surprise me that certain people know something is about to take place in a big way and are preparing to come out on top when it’s over. And to me, it also wouldn’t be a stretch that somehow, someway, there are those who have technology that causes some of this to happen on purpose (which would suggest that this is all scripted, even the Mayan prophecies). OK, ok. I may be pushing the envelope there. How about reports that it might have been a nuke in Virginia?
I do know one thing: Friends of mine have told me they feel like something big is about to happen. One is suggesting that he feels like he is about to experience what he has felt much of his life… that he would experience the end of the world in his lifetime (and he is far from sort of religious nutcase holding an “end is nigh” sign).
I admit that I have this weird feeling of some major disruption and possible devastation coming to America, but that may just be the regular B’Man paranoia or something I am experiencing. As far as that matters, maybe I am imagining everything I discuss here? All is truly well and I am dreaming a nightmare… soon to wake up and laugh off such a silly thing.
Look. Does it matter if civilization is about to end? Really? Not in my life. No matter what happens, I will prepare in ways that I can feed, house and protect my family. If the civilization ends (which doesn’t mean that all life on earth is wiped out), and my family and I survive the initial event (earthquake, Elenin, Dollar collapse, tornado, nuke, etc) I will STILL do the best I can to feed, house and protect my family. What else is there? The fact is that in many ways, I am watching the current civilization dying a slow, painful death, anyway. Isn’t the “civilized” thing to do is to put it to a quick end and stop the suffering?
So bring it on. Then I will still be trying to feed, house and protect my family. Because the truth of the matter is that there really is nothing else.

I wonder what the clowns who kept saying to not worry or even those I once linked to who kept saying that people like me were over-reacting are saying now? I wonder if their narcissistic tendencies could ever allow them to acknowledge what a tool they are for not considering what has been overly apparent.
Fukushima is now far worse than Chernobyl ever was
Does it matter to those fools that both the American and Japanese governments have been lying thru their teeth at every opportunity? Did it ever occur to the fools who were screaming “Chicken Little” and suggesting that the very MSM they despise were playing it up, when the exact opposite was taking place? Does it matter to the nay-saying Richard Noggins that both governments are doing everything they can to change “acceptable levels”, pushing the idea that radioactive contamination is not only not a problem, but in some cases, good for us?
I have suspected the lies from the beginning. I have suggested that things are far worse than we will ever hear from the MSM sources. I knew that independent sources would soon find out the truth, because it IS so damned bad that even the most corrupt, money-grubbing sycophantic idiots would realize that their lives and families’ lives are at stake and would not be able to keep quiet forever.
The real question is, how bad will it be. If you read the natural News link above, you will see that the supposed “safe zone” of 12 miles is a hoax. You will learn that even up to 230 square miles, extremely unsafe levels are found. You will learn that Fukushima prefecture and a huge surrounding area within Japan is now a “dead zone”, much like atomic bomb test sites and that the real levels of contamination far exceed those of Chernobyl.
Over a month ago we were hearing from a few sources that death estimates would be far more than the sycophantic fools could ever dream of. Ethan Jacobs, J.D., of The Activist Post quoted several of these sources in his article, “Fukushima Radiation: A Soft-Kill Operation“:
Arnold Gunderson, a 39-year veteran of the nuclear industry, stated: “I absolutely disagree with the scientists who say that Fukushima’s not going to hurt anyone. The numbers I’ve seen, from reputable scientists, are that Fukushima is going to kill 200,000 from increased cancers over the next 50 years.”
Likewise, Dr. Christopher Busby, Scientific Secretary of the European Committee on Radiation Risk, states that 400,000 people will develop cancer within a 200 kilometer radius of Fukushima. He believes that TEPCO and the Japanese government were criminally negligent for failing to inform the public of the true danger.
Natalia Manzurova, one of the few survivors among those directly involved in the Chernobyl clean-up, is an advocate for radiation victims. Her advice for the Japanese people was to “run away as quickly as possible. Don’t wait. Save yourself and don’t rely on the government because the government lies. They don’t want you to know the truth because the nuclear industry is so powerful.”
Nationally acclaimed neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D.stated with the Fukushima radiation hitting the United States, there is going to be a risk of increased cancer.
When we look at Chernobyl, most of West Germany was heavily contaminated. Norway, Sweden. Hungary was terribly contaminated. The radiation was taken up into the plants. The food was radioactive. They took the milk and turned it into cheese. The cheese was radioactive. That’s the big danger, the crops in this country being contaminated, the milk in particular, with Strontium 90. That radiation is incorporated into the bones and stays for a lifetime.
On April 12th, Japan finally raised the Fukushima meltdown from a 5 to a 7, putting it on par with Chernobyl. “A level 7 incident means a major release of radiation with a widespread health and environmental impact” according to the International Atomic Agency. As we learned from Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, the actual amount of radiation-induced deaths and injuries dramatically exceed estimates.
And, to be honest (although I can’t prove it), it would not surprise me one bit to know that this is a “soft-kill” operation with a population reduction agenda.
But there may be several things people can do to fight what is sure to occur as time progresses. There are various chemicals and drugs available (supposedly) to assist. But what if there were a wholly natural substance that could help you? What if you could Fight Radiation Damage the Natural Way with Cannabis?

You Have Nothing To worry About. The China Syndrome was only a movie:
Possible effects of a catastrophic meltdown
The term “China Syndrome” refers to a possible result of a catastrophic meltdown of a nuclear reactor. Also called a loss of coolant accident, the scenario begins when something causes the coolant level in a reactor vessel to drop, uncovering part—or all—of the fuel element assemblies. Even if the nuclear chain reaction has been stopped through use of control rods or other devices, the fuel continues to produce significant residual heat for a number of days due to further decay of fission products. If not properly cooled, the fuel assemblies may soften and melt, falling to the bottom of the reactor vessel. There, without neutron-absorbing control rods to prevent it, nuclear fission could resume but, in the absence of a neutron moderator, might not. Regardless, without adequate cooling, the temperature of the molten fuel could increase to the point where it melts through the structures containing it. Although many feel the radioactive slag would stop at or before the underlying soil, such a series of events could release radioactive material into the atmosphere and ground, potentially causing damage to the local environment’s plant and animal life.
If you haven’t been paying attention, this thing is far worse than what “officials” are telling us. Its not just this crazy conspiracy theorist making stuff up, either. It is to a point now that we can no longer discount, by using the description above, it is clear that we do, in fact, have a China Syndrome event unfolding. Of course, the solution is a polyester circus tent.
Are you feeling safer now?

and here is the information on ZARDOZ .. the post apocolyptic NUCLEAR FALLOUT world where Sean Connery plays a “mutant” .. and human reproduction is considered bad.
I will be mirroring the video on my Youtube channel and saving the files locally.
Do you think this has anything to do with the fact that Reactor #4 at Fukushima is leaning and likely compromised and leaking massive amounts of radiation from the estimated 160,000 spent fuel rods kept in the building about to fall?

Does it take an ignorant old redneck, like myself, to explain how stupid that the nay-sayers are regarding this disaster? I have deleted my feeds to some sites that I once considered information sources because they are STILL lying (either bald-face or due to ineptness and ignorance) about how bad this situation is. I personally think that many are little more than disinformation specialists, but you can make your own determination. You won’t find any more links to those pages from here, tho. I am cleaning house, slowly but surely.
It doesn’t take an expert to understand the seriousness of the Fukushima incident. One can be a person who has studied history, to understand that this was far worse than the media lets on. But for those ass-wipes that still minimize what is occurring, well, all I can say is that you deserve what you get for being so damned clueless AND, at the same time, jeopardizing your reader’s lives by not giving the full, if any, facts about this disaster.
This HAS been far worse than Chernobyl since the day that the MOX fuel pool blew, spewing Cesium and plutonium (and who knows what else) into the air. But the Noggins will STILL say that this isn’t as bad as Chernobyl, even tho now the officials are being forced to admit it. Some are even suggesting that we have NOTHING to worry about, but I say you are a fool if you are not concerned over this.
But sickness from the fallout is just the beginning. Japanese business is suffering (and so is American business that needs product made in Japan to build product here). We are set for a major worldwide financial crash and I expect that the dollar will crash sometime very soon. Then we will have to live with fall-out on top of that.
The fact is that they lie to you and have their ass-kissers ready, willing and able to perpetuate those lies, no matter what truth is available. Oh, and BTW, the officials didn’t tell you the truth initially because they didn’t want to “scare” you.

Plutonium is one of nature’s nastiest substances. As I offered before, “IF” these reactors were to go into meltdown and the clump of fuel melds together, the temperature will go high enough to cause problems (it is already suggested that a partial or full meltdown is occurring right now). Also note that the reactor #3 had a crane fall into it, which could have physically damaged the containment or spent rod pools, which, in either case, would release radioactive materials (including three forms of plutonium) into the area surrounding the reactor site. But there is nothing to worry about, is there?
Now, in spite of the Richard Noggins’ and their lack of rational thought, have you thought about what happens if this is NOT contained (or it takes months or years to contain)? Do you still believe that Americans have nothing to worry about? And you think this because you believe the government or the company (TEPCO) that is in charge of the media releases? Does it not cause you to wonder “why” all the sudden, that this disaster is hardly even being covered any more on MSM TV. Some Noggins suggest that the Japanese disaster was the sleight of hand to keep us from considering the Wisconsin issues or the Libyan invasion, but where are those people now that the entire focus is on Libya and OFF of Japan? You think that maybe it is because this is WORSE than Chernobyl, already?
Well, they lie, and maybe you should read the data provided by Jorge Stolfi of the State University of Campinas in Brazil (found at Zero Hedge) in which an excellent chronological breakdown of the disaster at reactors 1, 2 and 3 has been recorded.
I tend to consider the experts in the field like Michio Kaku in the video above or like Olivier Isnard from the French Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety, when he says that a partial meltdown has occurred.
But to be specific about how bad the plutonium is, read Washington Blog‘s latest post:
MSNBC reports that plutonium has been found in soil around the Fukushima plant:
The Tokyo Electric Power Co., which operates the plant, said it found three radioactive isotopes of plutonium — plutonium 238, 239 and 240 — in five locations outside the plant in soil tests on March 21-22.
Plutonium can be a serious health hazard if inhaled or ingested, but external exposure poses little health risk, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Essentially all the plutonium on earth has been created within the past six decades by human activities involving fissionable materials.
***
Atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons, which ceased worldwide by 1980, generated most environmental plutonium. About 10,000 kg were released to the atmosphere during these tests.
Average plutonium levels in surface soil from fallout range from about 0.01 to 0.1 picocurie per gram (pCi/g).
Accidents and other releases from weapons production facilities have caused greater localized contamination.
So like radioactive cesium and iodide – which I discussed yesterday – plutonium doesn’t exist in nature in any significant quantity, and so “background radiation” is a meaningless concept.
Plutonium stays radioactive for a long time. Pu-238 has an 88-year half-life, Pu-239 has a 24,000-year half-life, and Pu-240 has a 6,500-year half life.
There are, of course, naturally occurring radioactive materials.
But lumping all types of radiation together is misleading … and is comparing apples to oranges.
As the National Research Council’s Committee to Assess the Scientific Information for the Radiation Exposure Screening and Education Program explains:
Radioactivity generates radiation by emitting particles. Radioactive materials outside the the body are called external emitters, and radioactive materials located within the body are called internal emitters.
Internal emitters are much more dangerous than external emitters. Specifically, one is only exposed to radiation as long as he or she is near the external emitter.
For example, when you get an x-ray, an external emitter is turned on for an instant, and then switched back off.
But internal emitters steadily and continuously emit radiation for as long as the particle remains radioactive, or until the person dies – whichever occurs first. As such, they are much more dangerous.
We aren’t talking about “background” levels, anymore. We are talking about particles that float into air, water and food and can be ingested. This ain’t the sun or a brief XRay. This is stuff that gets in your body, then kills you. Once you consume this stuff, you are almost promised some sort of cancer.
And its not like you can see the stuff or have any idea that you are about to consume it. As TwelfthBough points out, this stuff is “minuscule“, “tiny” and “invisible“, so we have absolutely NOTHING to worry about, right?
The problem with handling radiation is its invisibility. You really can’t tell you are being killed until it is years too late! You can’t run from it easily, hide from it unless you wear lead suits and you can’t smell it, either….Experts warned us that the #3 reactor was the most dangerous. The black smoking ruin here is what little is left of this reactor. This is the MOX one which was being refitted with plutonium. Wow. Isn’t this hideous? It looks like…Chernobyl! And it is. Totally Chernobyl. Each day, each reactor looks more and more ruined, more and more desolate. They look like a fast forward film of slow organic destruction over centuries only this is over days. With water being pumped in as fast as possible, they continue to devolve and collapse, the plutonium one, rather thoroughly and fastest of all. Just three days ago, it had this stream of steam coming out of just one small hole. Now, it is twisted wreckage. This was no ‘explosion’ but rather, the natural evolution of plutonium as it has a meltdown. …
Not exploding but simply pouring out that invisible force that acts so energetically on our genes.
BTW: those last few links show that this fallout is reaching Europe and Iceland and, of course, we are experiencing it here in America, as well.
Now how do we know that fission is occurring (meaning that the nuclear materials are interacting with each other in an uncontrolled way)? Besides the article above pointing out that the reactor #3 never had an explosion, but is simply melting down, you might want to read what the Japan Times tells us:
Radiation readings Saturday surpassed 1,000 millisieverts per hour on the surface of a puddle in the basement of the turbine building in reactor No. 2, according to data released Sunday by the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency.
The 2.9 billion becquerels of iodine-134 per cu. cm in the puddle indicates a reaction is occurring because it is 10 million times what you would see at a normal nuclear reactor, the agency said.
“The level of radiation is greater than 1,000 millisieverts. It is certain that it comes from atomic fission,” NISA’s Hidehiko Nishiyama told a news conference in the morning. “But we are not sure how it came from the reactor.”
If you believe that this is over or a non-newsworthy item, keep in mind that these types of disasters are never over. Just read and view the videos at Activist Post to see how the Chernobyl disaster is hardly over, then compare the Japanese fiasco to that (as some Richard Noggins did early on and insisted that this was nothing like it).
And, NO, there is zero amount of radiation that is good for you like this harlot suggests. As a matter of fact, this is far worse than any MSM TV sycophantic mouthpiece is allowed to say on air. Stephen Lendman has done an excellent job finding unbiases sources and offers the following in his post entitled, “Japan’s Leaking Water Radiation 100,000 Times Above Normal” (please visit and read the entire piece, but for a primer, see this):
On March 27, New York Times writers Hiroko Tabuchi and Keith Bradsher headlined, “Higher Levels of Radiation Found at Japan Reactor Plant,” saying:
“Japan’s troubled effort to contain the nuclear contamination crisis at its stricken (plant) suffered a setback on Sunday when alarmingly high radiation levels were discovered….raising new questions about how and when recovery workers could resume their tasks,” besides whether anything, in fact, can work.
In fact, high radiation readings mean fission likely restarted, “present(ing) the alarming possibility of an out-of-control reactor.”
On March 28, Reuters headlined, “Japan finds plutonium at stricken nuclear plant,” saying:
On March 11, after the earthquake/tsunami struck, traces of plutonium 238, 239 and 240 were found “in soil at five locations at the complex….”
According to TEPCO vice president Sakae Muto:
“It’s not at the level that’s harmful to human health.”
He lied.
NISA reported samples ranging from 0.18 – 0.54 becquerels per kg. Agency official Hidehiko Nishiyama said:
“While it’s not the level harmful to human health, I am not optimistic. This means the containment mechanism is being breached so I think the situation is worrisome.”
In fact, it’s catastrophic and extremely hazardous to human health at any level, environmental scientist Dr. Ilya Sandra Perlingieri explaining in her article headlined, “Fukushima Catastrophe: Radiation Exposure, Lies and Cover-up, saying:”
“The half-life of many radioactive elements is thousands of years. There is no safe level of exposure! (Claiming otherwise is) media hype and corporate lies. The plutonium fuel used at Fukushima Unit 3 reactor uses MOX (mixed oxide), a plutonium-uranium fuel mixture. A single milligram of MOX is 2-million times more deadly than enriched uranium….Plutonium-239 has a half-life of 24,000 years; and (for) Uranium-235 (it’s) 700-million years.”
Last week Hirose Takashi, a researcher at the Aomori Prefectural Industrial Research Institute and a man who has written extensively on nuclear power went on Japanese TV to point out the lies that are being told about the supposed safety of this radiation.
“They are saying stupid things like, why, we are exposed to radiation all the time in our daily life, we get radiation from outer space. But that’s one millisievert per year. A year has 365 days, a day has 24 hours; multiply 365 by 24, you get 8760. Multiply the 400 millisieverts by that, you get 3,500,000 the normal dose. You call that safe?”
Many are now expressing concern that the Japanese government’s moves to quietly raise legal radiation limits in a number of areas indicates a tacit acknowledgement that increased radiation exposure will continue to be a daily reality for residents of Japan for the foreseeable future.
On March 17th, the government raised the radiation exposure limits for emergency workers at the Fukushima plant from 100 millisieverts to 250 millisieverts.
h/t Corbettreport (James actually lives in Japan and has been following this quite closely, as you can imagine)
In Episode 179, James is also not afraid to examine the possible reasons for this happening, including looking into the Earth’s movements, the Sun’s influence, HAARP and other phenomena (there are several links provided above to help you investigate this for yourself):
Japan is just tallying up the damage from the devastating earthquake that struck off the northeast coast on March 11th, but it is clear that this was one of the most powerful earthquakes in modern Japanese history. Now, some are asking whether this was a natural earthquake or if it was precipitated by human activities. Join us this week as we go in search of a man-made fingerprint on the 3/11 earthquake.
I found the above examination into HAARP being the cause of this earthquake very informative. James points out the failures of his listeners to show how HAARP could be used to create earthquakes, but offered other interviews that suggest that the Def Dept may be using such a system to create weather phenomena, destruction of missiles, and other potential possibilities.
I am still not sure about any “tectonic warfare” or any military attack (or the feasibility of such), but I am open to learning more.
I am not convinced to whether or not HAARP caused this or other earthquakes of note (Chile, Haiti, China, New Zealand, etc). But if we have one sometime in the very near future in the New Madrid fault, after the government seems to be planning for such an event, then I may become a believer.
No matter what caused this situation, I hope that more people will understand the danger. As was recently added to a post here by Kaptinemo, this WILL cause problems:
With all the half-lives of the various elements (cesium, plutonium, etc.) being the sort that last anywhere from weeks to hundreds of years, and this stuff getting into the food chain in the open ocean, nations that are already highly dependent upon seafood for their daily protein staples are going to find this cataclysmic in more than just the immediate sense. Expect to see cancerous tumors on all manner of fish within a year or two, making them inedible. The ‘poop’ will wind up on the entire region’s dinner plates.
Essentially, with this catastrophe, Japan has placed the oceanic bread-basket at risk. The socio-economic (and therefore, political) ramifications for the entire Western North Pacific are dire, indeed. And given the ocean currents, we won’t be unaffected either.

YAMAGATA, Japan — Emergency workers seemed to try everything they could think of Thursday to douse one of Japan’s dangerously overheated nuclear reactors: helicopters, heavy-duty fire trucks, even water cannons normally used to quell rioters. But they couldn’t be sure any of it was easing the peril at the tsunami-ravaged facility.
Three reactors have had at least partial meltdowns, but an even greater danger has emerged. Japanese and U.S. concerns were increasingly focusing on the pools used to store spent nuclear fuel: Some of the pools are dry or nearly empty and the rods could heat up and spew radiation.
It could take days and “possibly weeks” to get the complex under control, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jazcko said. He defended the U.S. decision to recommend a 50-mile evacuation zone for its citizens, a much stronger measure than Japan has taken.
A senior official with the U.N.’s nuclear safety agency said there had been “no significant worsening” at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant but that the situation remained “very serious.” Graham Andrew told reporters in Vienna that nuclear fuel rods in two reactors were only about half covered with water, and in a third they were also not completely submerged.
If the fuel is not fully covered, rising temperatures and pressure will increase the chances of complete meltdowns that would release much larger amounts of radioactive material than the failing plant has emitted so far.
Low levels of radiation have been detected well beyond Tokyo, which is 140 miles (220 kilometers) south of the plant, but hazardous levels have been limited to the plant itself. Still, the crisis triggered by last week’s earthquake and tsunami has forced thousands to evacuate and drained Tokyo’s normally vibrant streets of life, its residents either leaving town or holing up in their homes.
President Barack Obama appeared on television to assure Americans that officials do not expect harmful amounts of radiation to reach the U.S. or its territories. He also said the U.S. was offering Japan any help it could provide, and said he was asking for a comprehensive review of U.S. nuclear plant safety.
Japanese and American assessments of the crisis have differed, with the plant’s owner denying Jazcko’s report Wednesday that Unit 4′s spent fuel pool was dry and that anyone who gets close to the plant could face potentially lethal doses of radiation. But a Tokyo Electric Power Co. executive moved closer to the U.S. position Thursday.
“Considering the amount of radiation released in the area, the fuel rods are more likely to be exposed than to be covered,” Yuichi Sato said.
Workers have been dumping seawater when possible to control temperatures at the plant since the quake and tsunami knocked out power to its cooling systems, but they tried even more desperate measures on Unit 3′s reactor and cooling pool.
Two Japanese military CH-47 Chinook helicopters began dumping seawater on Unit 3 on Thursday morning, defense ministry spokeswoman Kazumi Toyama said. The choppers doused the reactor with at least four loads of water in just the first 10 minutes, though television footage showed much of it appearing to disperse in the wind.
Chopper crews flew missions of about 40 minutes each to limit their radiation exposure, passing over the reactor with loads of about 2,000 gallons (7,500 liters) of water. Another 9,000 gallons (35,000 liters) of water were blasted from military trucks with high-pressure sprayers used to extinguish fires at plane crashes, though the vehicles had to stay safely back from areas deemed to have too much radiation.
Special police units with water cannons were also tried, but they could not reach the targets from safe distances and had to pull back, said Yasuhiro Hashimoto, a spokesman for Japan’s nuclear safety agency.
Unit 3′s reactor uses a fuel that combines plutonium, better known as an ingredient in nuclear weapons, and reprocessed uranium. The presence of this mixed oxide fuel, or MOX, means potentially that two very harmful radioactive products could be released into the environment.
Tokyo Electric Power said it believed workers were making headway in staving off a catastrophe both with the spraying and, especially, with efforts to complete an emergency power line to restart the plant’s own electric cooling systems.
“This is a first step toward recovery,” said Teruaki Kobayashi, a facilities management official at the power company. He said radiation levels “have somewhat stabilized at their lows” and that some of the spraying had reached its target, with one reactor emitting steam.
“We are doing all we can as we pray for the situation to improve,” Kobayashi said. Authorities planned to spray again Friday, and Kobayashi said: “Choices are limited. We just have to stick to what we can do most quickly and efficiently.”
Work on connecting the new power line to the plant was expected to begin Friday and take 10 to 15 hours, said Nuclear Safety Agency spokesman Minoru Ohgoda. But the utility is not sure the cooling systems will still function. If they don’t, electricity won’t help.
Four of the plant’s six reactors have seen fires, explosions, damage to the structures housing reactor cores, partial meltdowns or rising temperatures. Officials also recently said temperatures are rising even in the spent fuel pools of the other two reactors.
The troubles at the nuclear complex were set in motion by last Friday’s 9.0-magnitude earthquake and tsunami, which knocked out power and destroyed backup generators needed for the reactors’ cooling systems. That added a nuclear crisis on top of twin natural disasters that likely killed well more than 10,000 people and left hundreds of thousands homeless.
Mario V. Bonaca, a physicist sits on an advisory committee to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, said he believes the focus of the effort has shifted to the spent fuel pools. “I understand that they’ve controlled the cooling of the cores,” said Bonaca, who said he was basing his understanding on NRC and industry sources.
The storage pools need a constant source of cooling water. Even when removed from reactors, uranium rods are still extremely hot and must be cooled for months, possibly longer, to prevent them from heating up again and emitting radioactivity.
While a core team of 180 emergency workers has been rotating in and out of the complex to avoid exposure, experts said that anyone working close to the reactors was almost certainly being exposed to radiation levels that could, at least, give them much higher cancer risks.
Experts note, though, that radiation levels drop quickly with distance from the complex. While elevated radiation has been detected well outside the evacuation zone, experts say those levels are not dangerous.
U.S. officials were taking no chances. In Washington, the State Department warned U.S. citizens to consider leaving the country and offered voluntary evacuation to family members and dependents of U.S. personnel in the cities of Tokyo, Yokohama and Nagoya.
The first flight left Thursday, with fewer than 100 people onboard, Undersecretary of State Patrick Kennedy said. Plans also call for airlifting several thousand family members of U.S. armed forces personnel as well as nonessential staff stationed in Japan in the coming days.
The U.S. evacuation zone is far bigger than that established by Japan, which has called for a 12-mile zone and has told those within 20 miles to stay indoors. Daniel B. Poneman, U.S. deputy secretary of energy, said at the briefing that his agency agreed with the 50-mile zone — but said Japan’s measures were also prudent.
Nearly a week after the earthquake and tsunami, police said more than 452,000 people were staying in schools and other shelters, as supplies of fuel, medicine and other necessities ran short. Both victims and aid workers appealed for more help, as the chances of finding more survivors dwindled.
Noriko Sawaki lives in a battered neighborhood in Sendai that is still without running water and food or gasoline supplies and that, she said, makes life exhausting. “It’s frustrating, because we don’t have a goal, something to strive for. This just keeps on going,” said the 48-year-old.
In the town of Kesennuma, people lined up to get into a supermarket after a delivery of key supplies, such as instant rice packets and diapers.
Each person was only allowed to buy 10 items, NHK television reported.
With diapers hard to find in many areas, an NHK program broadcast a how-to session on fashioning a diaper from a plastic shopping bag and a towel.

As I warned early in the week, this situation is far worse than we are being told. Little bits of information are released, however, that give us an indication to how bad it really is. I don’t intend to go over the various sources… if you are interested, you are already paying attention (if you ask, I’ll share many of my sources).
What I want to examine here is how to stop this disaster, if it can be stopped.
Basically we have a situation where the design of these reactors have a pool of water that keeps the spent fuel rods cool and in storage. This area is found in the same location of the reactors, but does not have the containment that the reactors do. It is basically a swamp to store the rods (which are still energetic and poisonous). Beyond being a stupid design flaw akin to storing a never-ending gas can next to a camp fire. It’s just a disaster waiting to happen.
Once these pools are depleted of water, these rods get very hot and can burn. Once this starts, the gamma radiation emitted is so strong that people cannot be near it without dying very quickly. People will not be able to point water nozzles at little holes and HOPE that they can refill the pool. Helicopters will not be able to fly over and drop water into these holes.
Of course, there are 4 reactors that also need water to cool them (and this doesn’t address the other reactors having issues or the possibility of another earthquake that could ensue as aftershocks). But if the gamma radiation is too high for humans to be there, how do you suppose that these reactors will be cooled? And if they are not cooled, what we will see is FOUR systems spewing this radiation in amounts that make Chernobyl pale in comparison.
Basically, it will grow until NOTHING will be able to stop it, save one potential.
Bear with me, for I haven’t heard this from any source, so it is only my speculation. The only way I see to stop such a thing is to either cover it with enough earth to help minimize the radiation OR set off a huge bomb (potentially a nuke) to try to destroy the camp fire altogether.
I cannot get a grasp of how they could ever get close enough or move enough dirt to actually cover it, so that leaves the bomb, which, of course has its own set of horrible consequences. It will blow the stuff into the atmosphere in tremendous amounts. But is the answer to allow these four systems and their pools to spew for MILLIONS of years?
Of course not. What they CANNOT do is allow this thing to spew indefinitely. To do so would be tantamount to allowing this to completely cover the Earth in radiation (at least the northern hemisphere).
If you have any suggestions, please add them. I’m all ears.
For the Richard Noggins, do you still insist that this is not worse than Chernobyl?

I haven’t written much about the current situation in Japan. There is plenty of coverage on the many aspects of this disaster. But, being someone who tries to be educated and then prepared about certain situations, I have been following the various foreign news outlets, especially Japan‘s.
A nuclear crisis at the quake-hit Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant deepened Tuesday as fresh explosions occurred at the site and its operator said water in a pool storing spent nuclear fuel rods may be boiling, an ominous sign for the release of high-level radioactive materials from the fuel.
There is no doubt that those people are experiencing something dreadful and the outcome is far from over. Thousands are dead or missing from the earthquake and Tsunami. There are food shortages and fuel shortages. There are people desperately trying to get out of country.
And then there is the one issue that causes me some concern, which is the 4 nuclear reactors that have had explosions. Various sources, early on, quoted people saying that there is nothing to worry about (even to the Japanese people). I call these the “Optimists“. In most cases, these people have been shown to be wrong: plain and simple. Read the link and especially the comments to see what I mean.
To suggest that there is no reason for concern causes me to question a person’s thinking abilities or connection to the industry.
We also have “Realists” (someone like me), that sees the evident danger for the Japanese. I am also the type that thinks about the worst case scenario and how might I prepare my family for such. Being that I live relatively close to a few nuclear plants, I consider having some Potassium Iodide (in case something were to happen to one of these plants) as a preventative measure, a smart idea. It is cheap and could aid in survival, should the worst-case scenario happen.
I tune in to some American TV coverage, and when I hear from meteorologists that having your own is unnecessary and that the government will provide it should I need it, well, let me just say that I don’t trust a damn thing that the TV says, when it comes to my family’s health and welfare. If they do let someone on that speaks about the concern, that person is quickly shut off and not invited back. That, in and of itself, is more than curious.
Now, I don’t know what you think, but if four reactors have had explosions and various sources say that radiation is leaking (and reports now say that 2 more reactors are heating up), AND fires keep breaking out in reactors, AND the Japanese government is ever-expanding the zone around the site, AND the US Navy is moving its ships out of the radiation cloud, AND when a France news source suggests that the category is now a 6 out of 7 (instead of the first touted 4), AND the Japanese ministers are telling their people to stay indoors and protect themselves… it gives me reason to pause with concern for them.
But beyond the Japanese (of which I have many friends that I used to work with), I must think about the potential for great harm and the spread of radiation here to this country. As a realist, it is only prudent to consider the potential and if I think there is a possibility that the containment chambers do breach and/or the hokey way the keep the spent rods become a problem that could potentially cause massive amounts of radio-iodine to spew into the air, what the hell does it hurt to spend the $20 for a small amount of emotional well-being, not to mention perhaps saving my daughter’s life?
To some this is some sort of idiotic response. I call those that think that, Richard Noggin.
Now you might consider me a conspiracy nut and maybe even an alarmist, but I challenge anyone to buy some of the KI online. I am not the only person with this concern and I would hope that you have at least considered the possibility instead of sticking your head in the sand like Richard Noggins (dick heads) do. I am not suggesting that there aren’t other concerns, but to belittle people with this concern makes some people look quite callous, idiotic or evil.
This is an ongoing disaster and it is not any where near over or contained. Every day it gets worse. Why should I believe the Richard Noggins, when the progression proves them to be the fools they are?

But I believe this is just part and parcel of an even more encompassing plan for total world control by a very wealthy cabal of banksters and other elitists. To wit, there are many reports about other countries that have or will soon stop trading in US Dollars. As usual Washington’s Blog covers this issue very well. And I have been making the claim, as in yesterday’s post, that when this happens, the US Dollar is near its death knell (for, at some point, we will lose our power of being the world’s reserve currency… which is the only real thing keeping us as the world’s sole super power and Imperialistic Controller). This time is drawing very near.
You will find in the Washington’s Blog linked article above a 3 or 4 year timeline of events and the various countries that have taken steps to begin their refusal of using US Dollars (please go read the entire thing).
Venezuela and 12 other Latin American countries as well as Cuba
Many other countries
Dr Doug addressed this a bit this morning in a comment to today’s post here at B’mans and I wanted to point out that Japan (one country Doug points out) and many others are already on that list as you can see.
The world is pissed (how could anyone blame them, for they now know that there is absolutely no way they will ever get their money back, nor be able to recoup the loses as the dollar dies). This simply goes to show that this part of the plan is plainly underway and near fruition.
There is another “conspiracy theory” involved that says that the latest Middle East eruptions are being purposely driven and is, in fact, an instrumentally planned attack against foreign oil providers by “The Elite” (as Lindsey Williams describes in the following videos from an interview on Alex Jones show) that will culminate in a back stab of their deal made long ago to not drill our own oil here and to continue to purchase theirs.
I have written about “Pastor Williams” before and have admitted that his presentation bugs the piss out of me, but I cannot negate his statements, since he has been correct in virtually everything he says was told him by some of Big Oil’s elite (Ken Frum of ARCO being one). I also am somewhat suspicious of Alex Jones, but I do not focus on him, but those he interviews, then try to find associated evidence.
He suggests that this has been planned and working for decades and that the end game is the demise of the dollar. He suggests that when the oil reaches $200 per barrel, the oil companies will come in as America’s “saviors” and begin drilling oil that is said to be plentiful on American soil, but will keep the pricing around $150 – $200 per barrel (and we will thank them for that). However, he also tells us that this oil can be obtained for around $60/barrel, which means we will be paying ungodly profits to thieves (which is hardly something new).
In this case, tho, it will continue the downward spiral that is planned to culminate in a new world government, run with a new world currency. Whether or not you like AJ (or Lindsey), I advise you to watch the following two videos in their fullest to hear his story. Again, he has been correct thus far, so it isn’t easy for me to simply sweep away his opinion.
Alex welcomes back to the show Lindsey Williams, the pastor with an inside track to the elite who correctly predicted a significant rise in global oil prices and the collapse of the american currency.
On a side note, many of my friends on Facebook have been complaining about gas prices, electricity prices and food prices, but most can’t seem to connect the dots that the Federal Reserve’s money pumping scheme is a common denominator. But using oil pricing as a catalyst to speed the agenda’s ultimate goal of US Dollar destruction is also a factor I am trying to grasp and understand.
Adrian Salbuchi does connect some of the dots (and confirms some of Lindsey Williams claims). But I am open to dialogue from anyone here in this whole issue.
“From the point of view of the long term planning, of a power elite, a global power elite that is wrapping up globalization after 20 years because it has served most of its purpose and it’s ushering in a coming world government, in a coming world government you would need to, in a controlled manner, erode the relative power of nation-states. That is what I believe is happening now in America and also in North Africa.”
I want to know what you think about my theories. Am I off my rocker? Should we, as Americans, be pitching a fit about this?

China and Russia finally did it. They let the world know that they are telling the American Dollar to go to hell. They have had enough and even tho they also say it isn’t an attack on us, the end result will be horrific.
Chinese experts said the move reflected closer relations between Beijing and Moscow and is not aimed at challenging the dollar, but to protect their domestic economies.
“About trade settlement, we have decided to use our own currencies,” Putin said at a joint news conference with Wen in St. Petersburg.
The yuan has now started trading against the Russian rouble in the Chinese interbank market, while the renminbi will soon be allowed to trade against the rouble in Russia, Putin said.
To show what a slow-moving, but unstoppable tragedy this is, look back to July of 2009 to see where I mentioned the fact that India was questioning the Dollar as reserve currency (also pointing out that China and Russia were evaluating the dump, as well).
We already know that China and Russia are pushing for the same.
But now we have India, who is a huge trading ally (and military ally), questioning the US Dollar Dominance:
In Sept of 2009 I wrote:
The Dollar value thingy means so little to me personally because I don’t have any to worry about. But as a nation, we better be very concerned about what the next steps are after Iran drops the Dollar. It is only a matter of time before China, Russia and, yes, even Europe dumps it, as well.
It will be that moment that the true nightmare begins in this country. Why? Because we are unable to produce our way out of it since we have lost so much of our manufacturing base.
In June of 2009, I wrote:
But, after the next couple of days we will see the tide turn. When these people from Russia and China (bolstered by the other 4 member countries, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan), we will see them begin the one thing economists said couldn’t and wouldn’t happen: removing the US Dollar as the reserve currency. The reason why I believe this is going to happen is multi-fold: first, there are “observing” countries at this summit: namely, Pakistan, India, Mongolia and Iran along with others trying to get in.
On Sept 26, 2009, I asked:
What if Japan, China, Russia, Iran (and any host of other Asian or Middle Eastern countries) say, “We have had enough of America’s bullying and world domination.”? What if these countries decide that America IS too big and that she needs to be taken down a notch (financially or militarily)? Please do not think that American Exceptional-ism will save our collective asses. It won’t.
In Feb of this year, I wrote about China started selling off its US Securities, which was the first real effort to rid itself of America’s dominance (under the guise of punishing us for our cozy relationship with Taiwan). That was one of the first “attacks” on our economic hegemony. In the same month I wrote about how they were beginning to purchase a shit load of gold, hedging against their Dollar investments. I also shared a video that I need to re-share:
The Creditor and the Plastic Duck Junkie
I wrote within that same blog post:
I have been warning about the consequences of the status quo and have said time and time again, we are on the precipice of disaster. I have gone so far to inquire of my economic friends, ways to purchase silver and/or gold coinage (just as a safety net when the SHTF). But until today, I have not been able to close the circle of logic to “how” the demise will take place, but the following video should shed much more light on the subject. Sure, thee are many variables, such as how will our military react or what false flag event can they muster to take us into war with China (and Russia, Iran and Venezuela, cause they will ban together to fight us… mark my words). But, from a financial standpoint, they have us by the short curlies.
I am no financial genius, but I read a tremendous amount about it. All I have is my thought process (erroneous or not) and I keep coming to the same logical conclusion: this is all orchestrated and being implemented to bring about a somewhat controlled demise of our currency. We are so over-indebted that there is no way that the bill could ever be paid. And the other countries know this. They are doing what they must to survive the doom that our great country brought upon the rest of the world. That being said, I guess as insouciant Americans, we deserve exactly what we get.

Our economy is barely propped up right now by foreign interests (especially Japan, China and much of the European Union). Basically, the industrialized world is seeing the truth about the Empire and is finally ready to call it quits. I have written about my prognostications regarding Iran, China and the rest of the BRIC nations pulling out of the global Dollar. Now, the second largest economy in the world is about to tell us to eat some fish heads.
When this happens and the rest of the world pulls out in quick haste, the end result will spell disaster for us in America. And the thing is that we have no one but ourselves to blame for becoming sheople to the herders that have taken and squandered our good name and moral compass that was used throughout the world for some time.
The great America is not so great when the Japanese (who we rebuilt and propped up for decades after we bombed them to smithereens) are very close to telling us that they want us out due to our “destruction of human dignity“, and that they will not buy any more bonds from us unless it is in the yen. They will dump the dollar this year, just as Iran did a week ago and China and Russia will shortly (if not already hugely downsized). The rest of the world will follow, even our “allies” (who only acquiescedue to the fear we put on them with money and might).
Yukio Hatoyama is Japan’s new leader. He officially took office last Wednesday, and he is already threatening to split with the United States.
Hatoyama blames America for the global economic crisis and says that the U.S. is responsible for “the destruction of human dignity.” He campaigned on protecting traditional Japanese economic activities and reducing U.S.-led globalization.
During the run-up to the election, Hatoyama’s finance minister told the bbc he was worried about the future value of the dollar, and that if his party were elected in the upcoming national elections, it would refuse to purchase any more U.S. treasuries unless they were denominated in Japanese yen.
Japan is the world’s second-largest economy. It is also America’s second-most-important creditor. The U.S. government owes Japan over $724 billion! The only nation America owes more money to is China ($800 billion). The U.S. also imports $140 billion worth of goods from Japan each year.
If Japan were to follow through with its threat to only lend in yen, the dollar would probably fall hard. What would that mean? America gets more expensive consumer goods, higher unemployment, and currency inflation. If other nations like China follow suit, we would be looking at a currency crisis—Zimbabwe-style.
The new government in Japan has also pledged to diversify its foreign currency reserves away from the dollar. This means that at some point, it will need to dramatically reduce how much money it lends to America. America is planning to borrow record amounts over the next couple of years, so something isn’t adding up here. Where will the money come from?
“The financial crisis has suggested to many that the era of U.S. unilateralism may come to an end,” Hatoyama wrote in an August 26 New York Times article titled “A New Path for Japan.” “It has also raised doubts about the permanence of the dollar as the key global currency.”
But Hatoyama isn’t just charting a separate economic course for Japan. His campaign also promised a more “independent” foreign policy from Washington, and closer relations with Japan’s Asian neighbors.
More alarming for American policymakers, Hatoyama has authorized a wide-ranging review of the U.S. military presence on Japanese soil. He is reexamining the agreement that permits U.S. warships to dock at Japanese ports, and has said Japan should take a second look at why it is spending billions to house and transfer U.S. troops between its islands. Hatoyama has also moved to quickly end Japan’s fueling support for the U.S. naval anti-terrorism efforts in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
On Wednesday, an even bigger torpedo hit. Both U.S. and Japanese officials confirmed that discussions were underway to remove all U.S. fighter aircraft from Japan.
So many alarm bells have been clanging in Washington that the Australian reports the U.S. administration has requested “immediate clarifying discussions” on just how far Japan wants to take the disengagement. But there may not be too much America can do if Japan is intent on reducing America’s presence in Japanese territory. Regarding the U.S.-Japan security relationship, Richard Armitage, former U.S. deputy secretary of state, said: “If the government of Japan asked us to change things, we’d argue, we’d kick and scream, but ultimately we’d have to do it.”
Japan is a major platform for American power projection. Losing it would be devastating to U.S. security.
Japan is America’s most important forward base in the Pacific. It is an unsinkable aircraft carrier from which American task forces can operate to secure the flow of trade and resources across the Pacific.
At a time when China is increasingly challenging American authority in the East and South China Sea, when North Korea is brandishing nuclear weapons, and Islamic terrorism is on the upswing in the Philippines and Southeast Asia, America can ill afford to lose Japanese military and logistical support.
But it is losing it.
So, one of our staunchest allies… a country that we allowed to bomb us in a false flag event, then retaliated in war culminating in bombing them with the most destructive and terrifying means imaginable, and basically took over and formed them into an Asian representative of the US and a stepping ground for an attack on anyone in the rest of Asia… is finally telling us to go fly a kite.
My only question is: what took you so long?
It is evident that they don’t trust us and that our hegemony; our immoral and murderous actions in the Middle East and elsewhere in the world (including Empire building in places like Columbia and Panama according to my bud, Kelso, in a phone call this week) is bringing pressure from other Asian nations to get rid of their nanny.
It’s about time!
Hopefully, each and every country that we currently occupy or have bases in, even in agreement, will have us move out. Hopefully, since we can’t stop the aggressive murdering bastards who run our government, maybe the other countries can. Maybe stopping the US Empire will be done by those who we have relied on and done wrong to for so many years. Maybe, JUST maybe, we will finally become what the Founding Fathers envisioned, instead of the thing the lying crooks and evil bastards are trying to get away with now: Imperialism.
Read the rest of the article, as well, because it goes into some detail that I have been harping on for a while. The strategy of Japan is to become more involved in Asian affairs and it seems to rekindle and smooth over bad blood from the past. If successful, and there is little reason to consider they will fail after our failures in Iraq and the financial breakdown driven by our country, there will be a new powerhouse in Asian that will easily counter anything we can dish out.
Let’s just ask the question: What if Japan, China, Russia, Iran (and any host of other Asian or Middle Eastern countries) say, “We have had enough of America’s bullying and world domination.”? What if these countries decide that America IS too big and that she needs to be taken down a notch (financially or militarily)? Please do not think that American Exceptional-ism will save our collective asses. It won’t.
Most of us are too damned stupid to do anything about any threat. Our own country has dumbed us down. We can’t even make things for ourselves anymore because we became complacent and in cahoots with those Big Money bastards who convinced us that we could rely on cheap labor elsewhere (slave labor is more like it) from other countries and get rich from our home values or special Americanism.
We are lemmings and the government controlled by Big Money is king. If these other countries rebel from the control of our Empire (as they should), the end result for us will be travesty and horror. You will not be able to afford FOOD, much less anything else like that new Pop CD or especially that new government owned Chevrolet.
Now, regarding The Trumpet, I don’t know much about this source and he gets into some prophetic Biblical stuff and such. However, even tho much of that I don’t cater to or necessarily agree with, the fruit from his writing is very similar to mine (and my “prophecies” here). In that, I will sign off with Robert’s last couple of sentences (and I intend to go back and read more of his commentary):
America is about to be blockaded. For this to occur, Japan would need to take a radical turn from its recent historical political and economic persuasions.
It is radically turning. Today we are witnessing a dramatic fulfillment of this prophecy. America is about to become perilously isolated. The nation with the single largest merchant fleet in the world will turn its back on an economically waterlogged America. And America, without its most important military bases in Asia, will be one step closer to being pushed right out of the Asia Pacific altogether.
America’s ship of state is sinking. Japan’s lifeboat has already left.
