Government & Corporate evil incompetence: Confirmed; Fukushima radiation increasing in “death” rivers, pouring into Pacific Ocean!

08 August 2013 (22:12 UTC-07 Tango 07 August 2013)/01 Shawwal 1434/17 Mordad 1392/02 Geng-Shen (7th month) 4711

A new study backs claims made in January, about a Death River created by the GE designed disaster reactors at Fukushima Daiichi.

In January citizens groups reported that canal water in Fukushima City tested for as much as 515,000 becquerels per kilogram of cesium! (as I’ve said before: Holy crap retiring Popeman, the official safe limit is only 100 becquerels per kilogram!!!)

That water comes from the Abukuma River.  The mouth of the river, on the Pacific Ocean, is 70km (43 miles) north of Fukushima Daiichi!  Citizens took maters into their own hands to do radioactive testing, because the government ordered a halt to all such ‘official’ testing shortly after the March 2011 meltdowns.  (this is why the main streamer news media didn’t report any ‘official’ radiation contamination figures)

Not only is radiation from the river getting into local canals used for farming, it then pours into the Pacific.

A new study by the University of Tokyo’s Institute of Industrial Science has confirmed massive amounts of cesium build up on the bottom of the ocean floor near the nuke plant, and at the mouth of the river.

The researchers took samples as far away as 400km (249 miles) out to sea, from the nuke plant.   Of course the closer they got to the reactors the higher the levels, and they found that the cesium build up is highest in the valleys on the ocean floor.   They found that within 20km (12 miles) of Fukushima Daiichi, the cesium 137 levels in the ocean floor valleys was five times the levels on the peaks.

At the mouth of the Abukuma “death” River they found cesium levels two times higher than the surrounding ocean floor.  This is clear proof the river is being contaminated with radiation.  Remember the mouth of the river is 43 miles from Fukushima Daiichi.

Abukuma River generally flows from south to north.  It begins at Mount Asashi, flows east then turns northward until it turns eastward again, through the coastal city of Iwanuma.  Its Pacific mouth is south of the Sendai Airport, and just north of Lake Torinoumi.  If this river is contaminated then likely so is Lake Torinoumi, and the hundreds of smaller rivers that run through the area.

An older report, when compared to the newer studies, shows radiation levels are only skyrocketing.  In 2012 the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology reported extremely low levels of cesium in the Abukuma and other rivers.  However, they warned “…..it is important to monitor its level in Fukushima Prefecture over time.”

In May 2013, the Japan Geoscience Union reported the results of their 2012 study, confirming that radiation levels in rivers are increasing, with help from rain water runoff: “Total radioactivity of Cs-134 and Cs-137 in river waters was 0.016-0.27 Bq/l at normal flow conditions on April 18 and June 19 in 2012, but it increased to 3.83 Bq/l in high flow conditions by heavy rains…..These results indicate that the pulse input of radiocesium associated with suspended particles from land to coastal ocean occurred by the heavy rain event.”

Government Evil: Obama gives bogus reasons for privatizing Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac! Obama forgets his Senate voting record!

07 August 2013 (12:20 UTC-07 Tango)/30 Ramadan 1434/16 Mordad 1391/01 Geng-Shen (7th month) 4711

“For too long, these companies were allowed to make big profits buying mortgages, knowing that if their bets went bad, taxpayers would be left holding the bag.”-Barack Obama, misleading a group of 2000 people in Arizona

What’s wrong with the above statement?  It suggests that Fannie Mae (Federal National Mortgage Association) and Freddie Mac (Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation) were bailed out by taxpayers because they’re pseudo-governmental agencies, and if Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were fully privatize, taxpayers would be spared.  But wait, what about all those fully privatized banks that got bailed out by taxpayers?

Did you forget Bears Stearn?  That fully privatized company got bailed out by the government when it got into trouble with its mortgage securities, then sold to JP Morgan.

Did you forget Goldman Sachs?  That fully privatized company got ‘bailed out’ by the government’s TARP in 2008, even though the company reported big profits from mortgages in 2007!

Did you forget Citigroup?  This fully privatized company got into trouble with the subprime mortgage crisis (by the way, the crisis was created by the banks themselves) and ended up getting bailed out by the government!

Did you forget the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, meant to bail out fully privatized banks due to the mortgage crisis?  Obama voted for it as a Senator!

Did you forget AIG?  Barack Obama, himself, voted for a taxpayer bailout of the fully privatized company as a Senator, even though he knew the company was ripping people off: “How do they justify this outrage to the taxpayers who are keeping the company afloat?” 

Did you forget Bank of America (BoA)?  This fully privatized company got $25 billion in TARP bail out money in 2008, and another $20 billion in TARP money in January 2009, then another $5.2 billion in March 2009!   The last government bail out was snuck through AIG to BoA.  In 2010, BoA agreed to pay a $137 million fine for defrauding schools, hospitals, and dozens of state and local government organizations.  In 2012, BoA was accused of running a scam called Hustle or High Speed Swim Lane.  The scam cost U.S. taxpayers more than $1 billion because BoA sold fraudulent mortgages to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac!  Arizona‘s attorney general says BoA “repeatedly has deceived” mortgagors!   August 2013, U.S. Justice Department and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission accuse BoA of investor fraud in the sale of $850 million of residential mortgage backed securities!

And Obama wants to sell off Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, because he thinks they’re a threat to taxpayers?!

By the way, Freddie Mac just posted a $5 billion profit for its second quarter this year!

Oh, the other bogus reason Obama gave is that the housing market has recovered.  Wrong!  He stated that home prices are going up. Correct.  Several surveys show that home prices are up because of house flippers.  That’s a cutesie phrase for home speculators.  They buy up a house with the expectation that they can sell six months to a couple of years later at a profit.  That is not a sign of a true housing recovery.  When you get a big increase in families buying homes to live in for 20+ years, that’s a sign of recovery, and that is not happening.  (in fact many families trying to buy homes are reporting being out bid by house flippers)

Food shortage, as Japanese fishermen cancel operations!

07 August 2013 (11:16 UTC-07 Tango)/30 Ramadan 1434/16 Mordad 1392/01 Geng-Shen (7th month) 4711

Because of the reality of the massive radiological disaster known as Fukushima Daiichi, the fishing industry of Iwate City has canceled next month’s test fishing.

Up ’till now, TEPCo has been lying to the fishing industry, and many fishing co-operatives were planning on resuming fishing in the next couple of months.  But last month’s admission by TEPCo, that radiation is pouring into the Pacific Ocean, and the confirmation by the government, has canceled those test fishing plans.

The latest news of how bad the situation is at Fukushima Daiichi is only now hitting the fishing industry.   Nozaki Tetsu, the chairman of the Fukushima fisheries federation, was questioned by local news media and said it was news to him.

It seems obvious now that almost all fishing could be halted on the Pacific side of Japan.

Government & Corporate evil incompetence: 300 tons of radiation pouring into the Pacific Ocean, everyday!!! Japan government takes over?

07 August 2013 (10:41 UTC-07 Tango)/30 Ramadan 1434/16 Mordad 1392/01 Geng-Shen (7th month) 4711

“Stabilizing the Fukushima plant is our challenge….the contaminated water is an urgent issue which has generated a great deal of public attention.”-Abe Shinzo, practitioner of the understatement, and a closet Imperialist

Prime Minister Abe Shinzo has ordered the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to take control of Tokyo Electric Power Company’s (TEPCo) failed efforts to control the meltdowns of at least three GE designed nuclear reactors at Fukushima Daiichi.

The order came after the Ministry conducted its own investigation, which revealed that highly radioactive water has been pouring into the Pacific Ocean at a rate of 300 tons per day!!!

The Ministry said about 1000 tons of groundwater from the hills above Fukushima Daiichi flows through the area everyday.  300 tons become irradiated as it passes through the Fukushima Daiichi ground, on its way to the ocean.  Another 400 tons flood into the basements of four reactor buildings, damaged during the the 11 March 2011 quake and tsunami.  TEPCo has been struggling to pump out and store that water, but, has had nothing but problems with massive leaks from the storage tanks, and the filtration systems.  The Ministry said it is likely the contaminated groundwater began pouring into the Pacific just days after the meltdowns began!

For the past two and a half years TEPCo has said they didn’t know where the water was coming from!

The Ministry also estimates it will take at least 40 years to tackle the nuke disaster, at a cost of at least $11 billion (far more than what TEPCo said it would cost).  Here’s the rub; there is nothing that can be immediately done to stop 300+ tons of radiation from pouring into the Pacific Ocean!   This is more than incompetence, it seems almost intentional, evil!

Oh but wait, there’s more!  Guess what they’re going to attempt now?  They want to freeze the ground.  They think that’ll stop the contaminated water from getting to the ocean.  Experts have pointed out that it will be ridiculously expensive to do that, and there’s no guarantee it’ll work.  A groundwater expert asked the obvious; why don’t they divert or pump out the ground water before it reaches the reactors: “It is incredibly difficult to completely block the groundwater like this. It would be better if they could pump clean water before it reaches the plant.”-Ohga Kotaro, Hokkaido University

Because the ground around Fukushima Daiichi is contaminated, the only sure thing is to divert as much groundwater as possible before it passes through the area.

World War 3, False Flag Op?: Military coup in Yemen? President orders increased security! It’s about the oil!

07 August 2013 (02:40 UTC-07 Tango)/30 Ramadan 1434/16 Mordad 1391/01 Geng-Shen (7th month) 4711

The U.S. puppet President of Yemen, Abdo Rabbo Mansour Hadi, held an emergency Supreme Security Committee meeting.  He ordered his minions to increase security across the country.

It’s been revealed that on Friday, 02 August 2013, soldiers from the Reserve Forces attacked guards at the Presidential Compound.  Seven guards were wounded.  About 200 former soldiers of the now dissolved Republican Guard were also protesting outside the compound.  That’s according to official government sources, however, one of the protestors said they were regular soldiers, not former Republican Guards: “We are regular soldiers. We demand a raise in our salaries and the annual Ramadan bonuses we used to receive during the time of President Ali Abdullah Saleh.”-Mohammed Yahia Nasser

The protesting soldiers said if their demands were not met they would return fully armed.

The BBC reports that the Yemeni government has placed armored vehicles around foreign missions, government offices and the airport.  An unnamed Yemeni security official said there is a plot to destroy Yemen’s oil industry by blowing up pipelines and ports.  As part of the plan, al Qaeda soldiers are going to dress like government soldiers.

The BBC also reports they have info that U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) are preparing for action in Yemen.

World War 3, U.S. Economic Front: Job losses & store closings 07-08 June 2013. Holy crap, one school district fires thousands! God hates Indiana!

In Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia School District firing 3783 employees!!!  The district’s “doomsday budget” is short $304 million USD: “The layoff notices that will be issued today are nothing less than catastrophic….”-William Hite, Superintendant

Also, near Penn State the Don Memo Mexican Restaurant closed in Upper Darby.  The owners said they had a problem with the new rent: “We tried to work on a new lease but we couldn’t get a good deal on the rent.”-Leo Saavedra

In Michigan, about 45 teachers at the Benton Harbor High School were laid off.   School district officials admitted they were replacing the experienced teachers with cheaper new hires.  The Krazie Kritterz pet store closed in Cheboygan.  The owner had been arrested for not having health certificates for the animals she sold. Charges were dropped but city animal control officials, and private animal rights groups, said the animals were not being cared for and many were sick.  And Fantasy Costume (and dry cleaning) in Battle Creek closed down.  The owner blamed it on declining customers.  And what automotive industry recovery?  General Motors to close its Romulus engine factory.  560 people out-o-work!  The factory is being re-tooled to make a new V-6 engine.

The Christian God can’t stop the closing of 12 churches in Indiana!  The Batesville Catholic Deanery has ordered that churches will be consolidated to save money.  What was that Jesus said about the want of money?

In Decatur, Illinois, Long Creek Vineyards went out-o-business.

In Ohio, Ingels Radio Shack closed in Middleport.   And the Rocking U Restaurant closed in Findlay.  The property owner said the restaurant owner lost his rights to use the building.

The Barking Dog restaurant bankrupt in New York.  The restaurant that allows dogs, is owed money by a hotel client.  The restaurant provided room service for the hotel, but about nine months ago filed a federal court action against the hotel for misappropriation of funds.  The New York Post laid off 13 photogs.  And KeyBank laid off 24 employees as part of their ongoing consolidation of offices.

The Emporium Gallery shut down in Mystic, Connecticut.  The People’s United Bank closed its 118 years old office building in Norwich. The bank is doing like so many others; consolidating offices.

In Georgia, textile maker Propex Operating Company closing its Nashville factory.  Its being blamed on declining orders by the military.

Wisconsin based lawn care equipment maker, Ariens Company, closing a small factory in Alabama.  17 people unemployed.

After 100 years, New York based Climax Packaging company closing its Saint Joseph, Missouri factory.  60 people unemployed.  Company officials had been trying to sell the box factory, but could find no buyers.

The Taverna Opa restaurant bankrupt in Florida.  Specifically the one in the Dolphin Mall.  They are swimming in debt.  And home insurance company HomeServe USA laid off 160 people in Miami!

In Kentucky 110 people lost their jobs with Arch Coal!  Company officials blame the crashing coal market.

Texas based National Envelope warned of bankruptcy and the closing of factories.  National Envelope was founded in 1952, and is one of the World’s largest producer of envelopes.

In California, the operator of the San Onofre nuke plant admitted it is a disaster, and is shutting it down.  The decision by Southern California Edison will affect 1500 employees!  And Ralph’s shut down more grocery stores. This time two in Long Beach.  Ralph’s is owned by Kroger, the same company that owns Fred Meyers and Smiths here in Idaho.  In Mountain View, the city’s last video rental store, Videoscope, closed down.  The owners don’t blame competition, they blame the property owner for jacking up the rent.

In Washington, Boeing laid off 939 employees in Puget Sound!  Apparently these are in addition to the thousands that will be laid off over the next three years?

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.

Government Evil: More proof the United States is the land of corruption, city officials arrested in Florida!

07 August 2013 (22:31 UTC-07 Tango 06 August 2013)/30 Ramadan 1434/16 Mordad 1391/01 Geng-Shen (7th month) 4711

The FBI has arrested at least four officials in Florida, two mayors (one mayor is also a city attorney) and two lobbyists.  The mayors have conveniently Mafia sounding names.

The mayor of Sweetwater and the mayor of Miami Lakes were arrested and charged with conspiring to commit extortion, after allegedly accepting tens of thousands of dollars in bribes and kickbacks.  The investigation started nearly two years ago.

The extortion scheme involved FBI agents posing as Chicago, Illinois, businessmen.

The vice mayor of Miami Lakes said the mayor “….doesn’t seem like the type of person who is driven by greed and money. He lives a plain lifestyle. He lives in a small townhouse and drove an old car…”

One Miami Lakes resident was not surprised:  “There have always been suspicions, but I am assuming the FBI has more concrete evidence.”

According to local reports most people of Sweetwater seemed surprised.

It should be pointed out that this was a classic FBI sting, in other words the whole thing was set up by the federal government.  The mayors and lobbyists did not instigate it.

Idaho Falls company needs your support to bring Pocatello’s Hoku polysilicon factory back from the dead!

07 August 2013/30 Ramadan 1434/16 Mordad 1391/01 Geng-Shen (7th month) 4711

The following was sent to me by the President of Arco Hills Silica Company:

I am a participant in a company that is considering strongly to purchase the Hoku Property and Plant for the purpose of continuing the operation of the plant (with some major improvements-the real problem with this plant is that because of poor management the plant was not competitive ($40.00 plus per kilo). This plant can be modified and placed into production where it would be making a profit at $20.00 per kilo. There are major changes that need to be done, but with the completion of our funding, those changes can and will be done, thereby saving 200 jobs in the Pocatello area and by additional features and similar industries that are willing to come to Idaho to gain access to the Silica and Silica-related products that would add several hundred other new jobs to the community. This will also bring back some major manufacturing that in the past was shipped to China an other third-world nations because of cheap labor. The real problem was that the United State Business Leaders forgot how important it is for this country to maintain a “manufacturing base” here in the United States by being creative and competitive by using technology to compete. Instead to earn the “quick buck” from the benefit of cheap labor, the majority of companies sold their souls (and all their technology secrets) to China and other countries that offered cheap labor. I am convinced we can be friends with China and can still be competitive. That is why our company, Arco Hills Silica Company (an Idaho Mining Company that owns deposits of over 20 billion tons of some of the purest silica in the world) is joining with Francis Kreais of JCF Funding from Henderson, Nevada (702) 994-1102 to attempt to prevent the Hoku factory from being sold to be dismantled and scrapped by it prior operating company. We know what has to be done to decrease the costs to make Hoku competitive and are presently seeking to make an offer to the Bankruptcy Court to pursue that opportunity. IF THERE ARE OTHERS OUT THERE WHO BELIEVE THAT THE UNITED STATES NEEDS TO RETURN TO BEING A MANUFACTURING COUNTRY WHO USES TECHNOLOGY TO COMBAT CHEAP THIRD WORLD COMPANY’S CHEAP LABOR, AND IS WILL[ing] TO SUPPORT AND ASSIST IN THIS CAUSE, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME OR FRANCIS KREAIS OF JCF FUNDING ([email protected]) AND LET’S GET OUR HEADS OUT OF OUR ” ***** ” AND START MAKING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WHAT IS SHOULD AND COULD BE WITH A STRONG TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED COMPETITIVE MANUFACTURING BASE.[!]

‘THANKS FOR LETTING ME “SPEAK MY PIECE” AND AT LEAST MAKE A RALLYING CRY TO ATTEMPT TO SAVE A NATION THAT OUR CONGRESS AND PRESIDENT HAVE GIVEN UP ON.”

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 25-26 July 2013: More proof the United States is behind the corruption! More Afghans sacrificed for the U.S. & U.K.!

In Helmand Province, the Afghan National Army (ANA) reported that in the past four months of fighting for the evil United States and British empire, 500 ANA soldiers sacrificed their lives for the Red, White and Blue!  ANA officials say that is a dramatic increase from the same time the year before.  And Mujahideen report the successful conclusion to a ten days long battle with Afghan government forces, in Sangin District.  They claim to have killed 83 government personnel, wounded 45, and destroyed 23 vehicles.  Two Mujahideen killed, five wounded.  Also, in Musa Kala District reports that pro-U.S. forces conducted an Israeli style home invasion in Kisi village. One person killed, one kidnapped.

In Nuristan Province, two people killed by U.S. drone strike.

In Paktia Province, reports that three civilians killed, five wounded, when mortar rounds landed on a village during battles between Mujahideen and ANA forces.

In Kunar Province, Manugi District, reports that ANA forces retaliated for a Mujahideen attack by shooting randomly into a village.  At least 11 people wounded.  The night before, ANA forces fired mortar rounds during a Mujahideen attack, some of those mortar rounds landed on the village, wounding eight people.  Mujahideen claim they’ve killed 27 ANA and Afghan National Police (ANP) personnel in a day long battle.

In Kunduz Province, Kunduz city, an explosion killed at least one person and wounded three.  Local government officials say it was caused by a car bomb.

In Jawzjan Province, Aqcha District, two people killed, ten wounded by explosion.  Local government officials say a handcart was left near a cop car.  It was a bomb.

In Samangan Province, Mujahideen claim they blew up the car carrying the governor.  The governor was wounded, four of his bodyguards were killed.

The ANA and ANP have launched Operation Simurgh in Logar and Nangarhar provinces.  ANA officials say they are trying to stop Mujahideen from controlling four provinces along the Kabul-Nangarhar Highway.  ANA reports two of their soldiers killed.

In Zabul Province, Shahjoi District, local government officials claim Mujahideen kidnapped 12 cops.  Mujahideen say they captured the cops in a battle.

In Badakhshan Province, Baharak village, a woman (who graduated from Kabul University by the way) has been exiled for writing and publishing her first book of Iranian love poetry.

The U.S. Office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) released more proof the U.S. is behind corruption in Afghanistan.  This time it involves the U.S. backed court system.  John Sopko discovered there is almost no oversight of tens of millions of U.S. tax dollars used to fund the Justice Training Transition Program.  Also, Sopko discovered more evidence that the U.S. is behind the skyrocketing illegal drug trade.  He found that the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs is not pushing for the creation of Afghan laws to fight corruption and illegal drugs!   ‘Training’ of the U.S. created Afghan justice system has been handled by U.S. and European contractors, who do little yet get paid tens of millions of dollars.  The latest contractor, International Development Law Organization, denies SIGAR’s accusations.

By the way, the latest SIGAR report also says that in the past three months alone, $2 billion in U.S. tax dollars have been wasted!

World War 3, False Flag Op?: United States orders citizens out of Yemen! Helicopter shot down! Drone strikes! Preps for invasion?

“The Department urges U.S. citizens…..currently living in Yemen to depart immediately……..Evacuation options from Yemen are extremely limited……Travelers should not expect to be evacuated to the United States.”-U.S. Department of State, 06 August 2013

The Obama administration is now telling every U.S. citizen living in Yemen that they need to leave, now!

The evil British empire’s United Kingdom has issued a similar order for its citizens in Yemen.

Just afterwards a report from Yemen saying that a military helicopter was shot down.  Eight people were killed.  It was a Yemeni military ‘copter that was providing air cover for engineers working to repair and oil pipeline that had been blown up in Ma’rib Province.

Also in Ma’rib, four people were killed when U.S. operated drones launched at least five missiles at a single vehicle.

British news media reporting that the streets of the capital of Yemen, Sana’a, is now full of government forces, with “hundreds” of armored vehicles deployed.  It’s believed that dozens of al Qaeda types are about to launch attacks in Sana’a.

The Yemen government has stated that the civilian evacuations by the U.S. and U.K. is exactly what al Qaeda wants.
