RUSSIA GOLD BASED CURRENCY.

Russia buys record amount of gold. 
WILL PUTIN CONVERT TO A GOLD-BASED CURRENCY ?   

THE FINANCIAL COMMUNITY HAS NOTICED THIS GOLD-BUYING SPREE FOR A LONG TIME NOW, SEVERAL YEARS ACTUALLY, BUT WITH RECENT UPHEAVAL IN THE UKRAINE AND THREATS OF FURTHER SANCTIONS BY THE U.S., PUTIN MAY SEE NO ALTERNATIVE BUT TO "PLAY THE GOLD CARD", AND THERE IS VERY LITTLE THE U.S. COULD DO TO STOP HIM!

[NOTE, UPDATE, APRIL 14, 2015: RUMORS ARE FLYING THAT RUSSIA MAY HAVE BEEN ON TRACK FOR AN AUGUST TO SEPTEMBER, 2015 DATE FOR GOING ON THE GOLD STANDARD, AND QUITE A FEW ARE SAYING THAT IS THE REASON THE SAUDIS CREATED THIS LOW CRUDE OIL DEAL, PERHAPS AS A TRADE-OFF WITH THE UNITED STATES.

RUMORS ARE JUST RUMORS, FOR NOW, BUT WHAT IF THE U.S. SAID TO THE HOUSE OF SAUD, "LOOK, YOU DROP OIL PRICES AND WE'LL HELP KEEP THE ISLAMIC STATE OFF YOUR BACK. THAT WAY WE BOTH HAVE THE SATISFACTION OF KICKING RUSSIA IN THE FACE TO STOP THIS GOLD STANDARD THING."????

MAKES SENSE, BUT NOW OUR BIG BOYS ON WALL STREET ARE WHINING ABOUT LOW OIL PRICES.
LIKE I SAID, RUMORS. ] 

UPDATE, BUT FROM FEBRUARY, 2015: FROM SPUTNIK: 

"Mises Institute contributor Marcia Christoff-Kurapovna believes that Russia may be in the process of planning for the introduction of a gold-based currency, and would be better off for it.

"Though a far-fetched idea at first glance, many factors suggest that remonetization in gold may be a logical next step for Moscow," Christoff-Kurapovna notes in an analytical article published Friday on the libertarian think tank's website.

Economists close to Vladimir Putin have for years "been expressing [Russia's] unwillingness to remain at the monetary mercy of the US and its NATO allies," among them Sergei Glazyev, economic advisor to the president, and political ally to Deputy Premier Dmitri Rogozin."   

AGAIN, WHO CAN SAY?

FUTURES MAG WROTE THAT : 

"The last published gold holding number for Russia in Refined Bullion Bar gold on deposit is approximately 1206 tons (World Gold Council data) and I'm here to tell you they have much more gold on hand than what has been reported as of late. "

WHEN IRAQ AND LIBYA WANTED GOLD FOR OIL, WE SAW WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM....INVASION BY U.S. AND NATO/ALLIED FORCES AND THE DEATH OF THEIR LEADERS.

RUSSIA IS NOT IRAQ NOR LIBYA. 

RUSSIA IS STILL A WORLD POWER WITH A LARGE ARSENAL OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS, AND RUSSIA HAS STRENGTHENED TIES WITH CHINA, WHICH HAS A LOT MORE "NUKES" AND WOULD NOT HESITATE TO USE THEM.

GIVEN SUCH AN ALLIANCE AND KNOWING THAT MOST OF THE WORLD IS AT LEAST A BIT WEARY OF THE DOLLAR AND THE U.S. DOMINATING, AMERICA WOULD PROBABLY NOT PUSH RUSSIA MUCH FURTHER.

PUTIN DOES NOT "PLAY".

Central Bank of Russia spent over 6 billion U.S. Dollars on gold purchases last year in an attempt to shift away from a dependency on the dollar.

According to research by Thomson Reuters GFMS, Russia accounted for nearly one-third of the central banks 461 ton gold purchase.

Russia’s central bank bought 152 tons of gold worth USD 6.1 billions in the first 11 months of 2014, showing a substantial 123% increase compared with the previous year.

It’s the most Russia has spent on the yellow metal since the break-up of the Soviet Union.

Russia accounted for about one-third of central banks’ gold purchases last year as the country spent more on the metal than at any time since the break-up of the Soviet Union amid escalating tensions with the west and a collapse in the value of the rouble.

Interest was also strong from central Asian states. Kazakhstan bought 46 tonnes through 2014 and Azerbaijan 10 tonnes, according to the survey. Iraq also acquired 48 tonnes in the first half of the year.

SINGAPORE, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Russia extended its buying spree of gold to a ninth straight month, and the price of gold rose for the first time in five months, data from the International Monetary Fund showed on Tuesday.

Russia's gold-buying spree comes amidst a bearish outlook for its economy, which is expected to slide into recession this year on low oil prices and the fallout from sanctions over Ukraine.

Ratings agency S&P cut Russia's sovereign credit rating to junk status on Monday, bringing it below investment grade for the first time in a decade.  

April, 2015: 

LET'S JUST FACE IT...THE WHOLE WORLD IS WEARY OF AMERICA'S FIAT CURRENCY.

WHO NEEDS THAT WHEN MORE STABLE CURRENCY IS "OUT THERE"?

AND, AGAIN, JUST FACING FACTS, THOUGH I AM AN AMERICAN, ARE THERE EVEN A DOZEN NATIONS THAT WOULD NOT LIKE TO SEE AMERICA TUMBLE FROM IT'S PLACE AS "TOP DOG" IN THE FINANCIAL/ECONOMIC ARENA, SEE A NEW PLAYER RISE TO THE TOP FOR A CHANGE?

Just this past weekend, as Bloomberg reported, Lord Meghnad Desai, chairman of The Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum, stated that IMF Special Drawing Rights (SDR) should contain SOME gold to help stabilize the currency.  

“We could ask that gold be nominated as part of the SDR. That is one thing I think is quite likely to happen”. 

"There has been much discussion and division over whether the world was moving towards a multilateral super-sovereign reserve currency by way of the Special Drawing Right of the International Monetary Fund or towards a new gold standard by which all currencies would be valued once again on gold. 

Were the BRICS countries going to overthrow the western banking cabal?  Was the US dollar going to inflate into oblivion?  Was the SDR going to become the new reserve currency?  Was a new gold standard going to be implemented instead?

So many questions with no clear outline or determinations on what exactly was going to happen. 

NOTHING fully explains the demand by other countries for gold, such as Russia and India, or even Germany demanding its gold back from the United States. 

Western and eastern banks are all controlled by the Bank for International Settlements.

And just about everyone is predicting that BOTH the renminbi
and GOLD will be added to the SDR basket valuation."

DOES AMERICA HAVE ANY GOLD THAT IS ACTUALLY AMERICA'S  GOLD? 
ARE FORT KNOX AND THE FEDERAL RESERVE VAULTS EMPTY AS MANY NATIONS HAVE ACCUSED THE U.S. OF?
WE KNOW THIS: THE U.S. DOLLAR HAS BEEN A "RESERVE CURRENCY", AND WE ALSO KNOW THERE IS NO "RESERVE" TO BACK IT UP.

WHY WOULD ANYONE SEE A FIAT CURRENCY AS BETTER THAN A GOLD-BACKED CURRENCY, WHETHER THAT IS RUSSIAN RUBLES OR GOLD DINARS?

A "CURRENCY COLD WAR"?     

Russia is prepared to play strategic hardball with the West on the issue: the governor of Russia’s central bank took the unusual step last November of presenting to the international media details of the bank’s zealous gold-buying spree. 

The announcement, in sharp contrast to that institution’s more taciturn traditions, underscores Moscow’s outspoken dismay with dollar hegemony; its timing suggests coordination with the top rungs of government to present gold as a possible currency-war weapon.

RUSSIAN MONETARY FUNDAMENTALS ARE SOUND     

While the Russian economy is structurally weak, enough of the country's monetary fundamentals are sound, such that the timing of a move to gold, geopolitically and domestically, may be ideal. 

Russia is not a debtor nation.! 

 At this writing in January, Russia’s debt to GDP ratio is low and most of its external debt is private. Physical gold accounts for 10 percent of Russia’s foreign currency reserves. 

The budget deficit, as of a November 2014 projection, is likely to be around $10 billion, much less than 1 percent of GDP. 

The poverty rate fell from 35 percent in 2001 to 10 percent in 2010, while the middle class was projected in 2013 to reach 86 percent of the population by 2020.

The repercussions of Russia on a gold-exchange standard would be immense. Above all, it would mean the first major schism in the world's monetary order. 

China would quite likely follow suit. 

It could mean the threat of a severe inflation in the United States should rafts of unwanted dollars make their way back across the Atlantic — the Fed's ultimate nightmare. 
Above all, the country will avoid the extreme debt leverages which would not have happened had Western capitals remained on gold.

The geopolitics of gold also figure into Russia’s increasingly close relations with China, a country that also has made clear its preference for gold over the dollar. (Russia recently edged out China as the world's top buyer of the metal.) 

In the aftermath of the $400 billion, 30-year deal signed between Russian gas giant Gazprom and the China National Petroleum Company in November 2014, China turned its focus to the internationalization of its own gold market. 

IT WOULD BE A SOLUTION TO RUSSIA'S MONETARY DILEMMA 

Russia has made plain her overriding monetary objective: to do away with the US dollar for all her trade, an ambition she shares with China and their Asian partners. 
 Furthermore, in the short-term the rouble's weakness is undermining the Russian economy by forcing the Central Bank of Russia (CBR) to impose high interest rates to defend the currency and by increasing the burden of foreign currency debt.   

There is little doubt that one objective of NATO's economic sanctions is to harm the Russian economy by undermining the currency, and this policy is working with the ruble having fallen 30% against the US dollar this year so far with the prospect of further falls to come.

There is a solution which was suggested in a recent paper by John Butler of Atom Capital, and that is for Russia to link the ruble to gold, or more correctly put it on a gold exchange standard*.  

The proposal at first sight is so left-field that it takes a lateral thinker such as Butler to think of it. 

Separately, Professor Steve Hanke of John Hopkins University has alternatively proposed that Russia sets up a currency board to stabilise the rouble. 

Professor Hanke points out that Northern Russia tied the ruble to the British pound with great success in 1918 after the Bolshevik revolution when Britain and other allied nations invaded and briefly controlled the region. 

What he didn't say is that sterling would most likely have been accepted as a gold substitute in the region at that time, so running a currency board was the equivalent of putting the rouble in Russia's occupied lands onto a gold exchange standard.

AS THE ‘SANCTIONS WAR’ HEATS UP, WILL PUTIN PLAY HIS ‘GOLD CARD’? 

Rather than just sit back and take the pain, Russia is going to seek to reduce

its economic dependence on the West.  

This is already in evidence, with Putin having signed major deals in the energy 

and defense industries with China and India, among other countries. 

Stronger Russian ties with the other BRICS ( acronym for  Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.), or other countries for that matter, may be of some concern to the US, but what can the U.S. do to hinder that?

Under Putin’s leadership, Russia has maintained its territorial integrity, something that had been left in question following the collapse of the Soviet Union, and

Russia retains a formidable military capable of defending its vast frontiers (although not capable of policing the world).  

The economy has grown rapidly and, while still resource-dependent, has begun to diversify in many ways.

Russia also has an advantageous tax system, with a top 13% rate of income tax.

Given these achievements, Putin is not a leader to be taken lightly

and we should pay attention when 

he says it it his desire to end the ‘dictatorship of the 

dollar’, as he did just this week.
HE IS NOT, BY ANY MEANS, THE ONLY HEAD OF STATE WHO IS SICK OF THE U.S. DOLLAR.

Perhaps he will indeed play the gold card he has hidden up his sleeve

and thus kill two birds with one stone:
shore up the rouble and Russian economy on the one hand;

dethrone the dollar on the other.

RIGHT TO REJECT VACCINES

IT'S RAMPANT, A VIRAL EPIDEMIC...
NO, NOT MEASLES, THE WAY THE PROPAGANDIZING PRESS IS GOING AFTER PARENTS WHO CHOOSE NOT TO VACCINATE THEIR CHILDREN!

LOOKS LIKE THEY WANT TO MAKE IT "CHILD ABUSE" FOR US TO REFUSE VACCINES FOR OUR CHILDREN AND OURSELVES.

I GUESS MAYBE THEY MAY WANT A HIGHER BODY COUNT, MORE HORRIBLY INJURED CHILDREN THAN VACCINES HAVE ALREADY PROVIDED!

WHEN 17 CHILDREN DIED FOLLOWING THAT WELL-PUSHED "HEP VACCINE" WE SURE DIDN'T SEE ANY PRESS PUSHING US NOT TO GET IT FOR OUR KIDS, DID WE?

DID YOU READ ANYWHERE LATELY ABOUT THE TWO LAWSUITS AGAINST MERCK WHICH SHOW ABSOLUTE DOCUMENTATION THAT MERCK FALSIFIED DATA ABOUT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE MMR VACCINE?

HERE'S THAT STORY:    The controversies will find Merck defending itself and its vaccine in at least two federal court cases after a U.S. District judge earlier this month threw out Merck's attempts at dismissal. Merck now faces federal charges of fraud from the whistleblowers, a vaccine competitor and doctors in New Jersey and New York. 
SCATHING ARTICLE AND I BELIEVE MERCK WILL FINALLY "PAY THE PIPER" FOR FRAUD!

Former FDA Commissioner David Kessler observed in 1993:

“There have been estimates that perhaps less than 5 or 10 percent of doctors report hospitalizations, injuries, deaths, or other serious health problems following vaccination. The 1986 Vaccine Injury Act contained no legal sanctions for not reporting; doctors can refuse to report and suffer no consequences.

“Even so, each year about 12,000 reports are made to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System [VAERS]; parents as well as doctors can make those reports. [See RT Chen, B. Hibbs, ‘Vaccine safety,’ Pediatric Annals, July 1998: 445-458]

“However, if that number represents only 10 percent of what is actually occurring, then the actual number may be 120,000 vaccine-adverse events. If doctors report vaccine reactions as infrequently as Dr. Kessler said they report prescription-drug reactions, and the number 12,000 is only 1 percent of the actual total, then the real number may be 1.2 million vaccine-adverse events annually.”
 [See DA Kessler, ‘Introducing MEDWatch,’ JAMA, June 2, 1993: 2765-2768]

Rank fraud in published medical studies is everywhere all the time.

Indeed, here is a devastating statement from a doctor who has examined more published medical studies than any expert who shows up on television and spouts off about our perfectly safe medical system.

For two decades, she was the editor of one of the most prestigious medical journals in the world.

“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine,” stated Marcia Angell, M.D. (“Drug Companies and Doctors: A story of Corruption.” NY Review of Books, Jan. 15, 2009).

One of the most famous cases of hepatitis B vaccine was Michael Belkin's daughter who died in his arms 15 hours after receiving the absolutely unnecessary hepatitis B vaccine. Below is his testimony to Congress in 1999.

A recent study found that hepatitis B vaccine was not effective in preventing asymptomatic occult (hidden) HBV (hepatitis B virus) infection in babies, which may occur in up to 40 percent of babies born to hepatitis-B-positive mothers. 

Except in the case of a hepatitis-B-positive mother, the medical justification for vaccinating infants against hepatitis B simply doesn't exist. In addition, the result of this above-mentioned study even refutes the commonly held assumption that hepatitis B vaccine is effective in preventing mother-to-infant transmission of all forms of hepatitis B.

The serious questions regarding effectiveness, coupled with the low transmission rates among babies and the steep risk of side effects, makes this vaccine's use very hard to justify for healthy newborns. 

100 CASES OF MEASLES AND YET HERE'S JUST ONE HEADLINE SCREAMING FOR A LAW TO FORCE VACCINES ON ALL OF US.

Vaccine experts: It’s time to ‘nudge’ hesitant parents

"Rep. June Robinson, D-Everett, whose bill has 11 co-sponsors, said current practice “just makes it too easy” for parents to opt out of immunizations.

“I think we need to think about the larger community and what we’re doing, not just to ourselves and our own children, but also to all the people in the community.”

THAT STORY CERTAINLY NEVER MENTIONS THAT THIS "OUTBREAK" (OF 100!) IS HAPPENING AMONG THE ALREADY VACCINATED, IN MANY MORE ADULTS THAN CHILDREN!

"Most of the cases of measles confirmed in California are among adults — more than 62 percent. "
"NUDGING PARENTS" TO VACCINATE IS LIKE NUDGING THEM TO HAND THEIR CHILDREN CYANIDE!

IT IS OLD NEWS THAT KIDS AND ADULTS WHO HAVE BEEN VACCINATED FOR MEASLES, WHOOPING COUGH, ALL THOSE "CHILDHOOD DISEASES" STILL , QUITE OFTEN, CONTRACT THE VERY THINGS THEY WERE VACCINATED AGAINST!

BEFORE I KNEW THE DANGERS OF VACCINES, I ALLOWED MY FOUR CHILDREN TO BE VACCINATED FOR EVERYTHING.
ALL FOUR HAD MEASLES, MUMPS, RUBELLA, CHICKENPOX, AND TWO HAD WHOOPING COUGH  AFTER  THEY HAD BEEN VACCINATED, AND MY SON ALMOST DIED FROM A REACTION IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING HIS FIRST (AND ONLY!) TETANUS VACCINE.
HAD WE NOT BEEN RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THE HOSPITAL AND LIFE-SAVING PROCEDURES, HE WOULD HAVE SURELY DIED.

"From December 9, 1983, to January 13, 1984, 21 cases of measles occurred in Sangamon County, Illinois.* Nine of the cases were confirmed serologically. The outbreak involved 16 high school students, all of whom had histories of measles vaccination after 15 months of age documented in their school health records. Of the five remaining cases, four occurred in unvaccinated preschool children, two of whom were under 15 months of age, and one case occurred in a previously vaccinated college student. ""Editorial Note: This outbreak demonstrates that transmission of measles can occur within a school population with a documented immunization level of 100%
This level was validated during the outbreak investigation. 

Previous investigations of measles outbreaks among highly immunized populations have revealed risk factors such as improper storage or handling of vaccine, vaccine administered to children under 1 year of age, use of globulin with vaccine, and use of killed virus vaccine (1-5). 
However, these risk factors did not adequately explain the occurrence of this outbreak."

VACCINES FAIL!
VACCINES HAVE ALWAYS FAILED!
THE CDC, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, AND PEDIATRICIANS ALL KNOW THAT VACCINES FAIL.
THEY ALSO KNOW THEY CAN KILL.

IN THE 1950s MY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CLASS WAS PARADED ACROSS THE STREET TO OUR HEALTH DEPARTMENT, LINED UP AND VACCINATED FOR POLIO.
WHAT WE RECEIVED WAS A CONTAMINATED VACCINE WHICH MANY EXPERTS HAVE SAID HAD TO HAVE BEEN INTENTIONALLY CONTAMINATED, AND WHICH OTHER EXPERTS, AS WELL AS PEOPLE WHO WORKED WITH PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES,  SAID WAS A WELL-KNOWN FACT BUT WAS ALLOWED TO BE DISTRIBUTED AND ADMINISTERED ANYWAY.
PROFITS DEPENDED ON IT!
THE CONTAMINATION LED TO ENORMOUS NUMBERS OF US WHO WERE VACCINATED HAVING CANCERS LINKED TO THIS PARTICULAR VACCINE.

OF MY SMALL GRADUATING CLASS OF 72 PEOPLE, 23 HAVE NOW DIED OF CANCER, AND ALMOST 30 OF US ARE CANCER SURVIVORS.
COINCIDENCE?
NOT IN A MILLION YEARS CAN THOSE NUMBERS BE CALLED COINCIDENCE!


100 CASES IS AN "OUTBREAK"?
EUROPE THINKS WE'RE CRAZY!
Last year, Europe had 3,840 measles cases. Italy alone had 1,921 cases. And that's an improvement over 2013, when there were more than 10,000 cases across Europe. France has had more than 23,000 cases in the past five years.Some European countries mandate vaccination, others actively encourage it, and still others leave it up to people to decide. Niklas Danielsson, senior expert in the Vaccine Preventable Disease Programme at the European Centre for Disease Control (ECDC).says none of these approaches seems to really affect vaccination rates.

JUST LEAVE FAMILIES ALONE WHO DON'T WANT THE DAMNABLE VACCINES!
IF YOUR KIDS ARE VACCINATED, YOU HAVE NOTING TO FEAR, RIGHT?

HOW CAN AN UNVACCINATED CHILD SPREAD SOMETHING TO A VACCINATED ONE UNLESS THE VACCINES JUST DO NOT WORK? 

ALMOST ALL OF AMERICANS ARE VACCINATED!

HOW CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN HOW VACCINATED PEOPLE ARE GETTING THESE DISEASES IF VACCINES WORK?

Data are for the U.S.

Percent of children 19-35 months old receiving vaccinations for:

• Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (4+ doses DTP, DT, or DTaP): 83%
• Polio (3+ doses): 93%
• Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) (1+ doses): 91%
• Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) (primary series + booster dose): 81%
• Hepatitis B (Hep B) (3+ doses): 90%
• Chickenpox (Varicella) (1+ doses): 90%
• Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) (4+doses): 82%

IF YOU'VE NOT READ MY INITIAL BLOG ON VACCINES, PLEASE GIVE IT A READ.
http://havacuppahemlock1.blogspot.com/2013/05/vaccines-crimes-against-humanity.html

THOSE OF US WHO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT VACCINES AND WHO WANT TO SPARE OUR CHILDREN AND OURSELVES THE POSSIBILITY OF DYING FROM OR BEING PERMANENTLY HARMED BY THEM HAVE THAT RIGHT, THE SAME RIGHT AS ANYONE WHO WANTS TO RISK GETTING THESE VACCINES.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF WE WHO ARE OPPOSED TO VACCINES FORCED YOU TO NOT VACCINATE YOURSELF OR YOUR CHILDREN?
IF VACCINES WORK, THEN YOUR VACCINATED CHILDREN ARE PERFECTLY SAFE FROM OURS, WHO ARE NOT, AND WE ALONE SHOULD DECIDE IF OR WHEN WE MAY ACCEPT VACCINATIONS.

DO NOT BOTHER LEAVING COMMENTS CONDEMNING MY STANCE ON THIS.
I MODERATE ALL COMMENTS, AND I ALONE DECIDE WHICH COMMENTS POST, AS WELL AS WHAT I FEEL IS BEST FOR ME.
JUST AS YOU DO.


THINK, IT'S NOT QUITE ILLEGAL YET!

RADIATION LEVELS IN THE U.S. UPDATE FINAL JUNE, 2016

FINAL UPDATE... JUNE 12, 2016


WHY "FINAL"?
BECAUSE WE SIMPLY CANNOT TRUST THE EPA MONITORS AND BECAUSE ALMOST NO ONE IS GOING TO COMPLAIN TO THEIR SENATORS, REPRESENTATIVES OR THE EPA LOUDLY ENOUGH TO FORCE CHANGE.

SORRY, THAT'S MY CALL ON IT, SO BELOW IS THE FINAL UPDATE, BUT DO HAVE A LOOK AT WHAT WE DID LEARN IN THE REST OF THIS BLOG SO YOU KNOW WHO'S TO BLAME FOR WHAT WE AREN'T TOLD AND SO YOU CAN SEE THAT RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA, WE HAVE OUR OWN ONGOING "FUKUSHIMA", POSSIBLY WORSE.

"Four recorded cities were over 1,000 CPM all week long, One Thousand CPM Plus, 24/7, 100% of the time and no relief. Same as last week; but, the all-week-long-High-Rad-contagion is spreading, too. More cities are above 1,000 CPM for more hours each week.
Colorado Springs, Colorado, home to the US Air Force Academy, flew up more than 700 CPM Points to 1,828 CPM in only two hours.  

Radiation hit these cities hard:
~Colorado Springs, CO;  
~Raleigh, NC;  
~Little Rock, AR;  
~and Portland, Maine.  

All were over 1,000 CPM up to Five (5) weeks straight. 

Navajo Lake, New Mexico’s Rad station earns a mention due to enduring 70 Hours over 1,000 CPM. 


Portland, Maine’s Rad station was recently obliterated; even the standard seven years of historical records were destroyed or moved. 
Portland, Maine’s Rad number will continue as: 1,262 CPM. That was the most recent recorded High CPM reading.

The YRTW Table (BELOW) of poisoned American cities has changed by adding a Column on the Right hand side. It is labeled “Corrupted?” The purpose of the column is to provide guidance as to the reliability, consistency and truthfulness of an individual city’s High Rad reading for that given week.  


Since a city’s report is subject to many strongly felt opinions that can affect Rad Readings, whether or not the Rad Unit was reporting at least 168 Hours (24 X 7)  takes on additional importance. The number of hours the machines work in a week is not an opinion.
All things being equal there should be One Reading per Hour for 168 Rad readings a week. The corruption may originate with a machine error, programming glitch, human intervention or change, intended or not.
The response may be “Yes” for “Yes, it is corrupted.”
The entry will be “Left Blank” for “Not Suspected.”
 

Only ignorant monsters or animals would destroy the Rad records. They deserve civilization’s most severe sanction.

UPDATE 09/07/2015:
IN MORE RECENT POSTS, I LISTED THE EPA's SEPTEMBER 5TH RADNET READINGS.
I DECIDED TO PUT THOSE HERE FOR THE WORST-AFFECTED CITIES ACROSS THE U.S.
THESE READINGS COME ON THE HEELS OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT A STRONGER WAVE OF RADIATION HAS HIT THE WEST COAST IN THE PAST WEEK.

Normal Radiation is 5 to 20 CPM.
50 CPM is an alert level.

Partial Counts are noted. 

Uncounted radiation makes the actual Count higher and more dangerous.

ONGOING SINCE 3 DAYS AFTER THE TSUNAMI IN JAPAN, MARCH 11, 2011:

A REPORT OUT BY THE EPA IN LATE 2014 SHOWED RECORD HIGH LEVELS OF AIR RADIATION FOR THE 4th MONTH IN A ROW, COAST-TO-COAST ACROSS AMERICA.

SHARP INCREASES IN BETA RADIATION WERE EVIDENT FROM THE PACIFIC COAST TO THE EASTERN SEABOARD.

THERE WAS BUT ONE REASON SUGGESTED FOR SUCH HIGH LEVELS ALL OVER THE U.S...FUKUSHIMA, JAPAN...THE STILL-LEAKING KILLER OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN...AND US.

THERE IS A VIDEO OF THE ACTUAL LEVELS, CHARTS, AT THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9qPt1OGlEY#t=15

Beta radiation includes cesium-137 and strontium-90, two man-made radioisotopes that continue to spew out of the triple meltdowns at Fukushima Dai-ichi, Japan which continue unabated since March 11, 2011. 

Four-month highs in beta radiation have been detected in Hartford CT, Washington D.C., Fort Wayne IN, Lincoln NE, Toledo OH, Corvalis OR, Amarillo TX and Madison WI.
These highs exceed triple background radiation which, according to Nuclear Regulatory Commission documents, exceed the California Highway Patrol's tripwire level for a hazardous materials situation. 

In some cases, the new highs are over a dozen times background indicating air that could be dangerous especially to children and pregnant women.

[NOTE: SEPTEMBER 6, 2015: THOSE LEVELS HAVE ONCE AGAIN GREATLY INCREASED. FORT WAYNE INDIANA WAS JUST PEAKED AT OVER 1,300 CPMs AND 2 OTHER CITIES WERE ALSO OVER 1,000 CPMs.

SEE THOSE RECENT READINGS FROM SEPTEMBER 5th <HERE>.

THE MAIN PROBLEM WITH THIS REPORT IS THAT THE EPA, JUST SINCE FUKUSHIMA, HAS SHUT DOWN ALL BUT 44 MONITORING SITES OF ITS PREVIOUS 124 SITES!

WHY WOULD THEY STOP MONITORING 80 SITES WHEN THEY KNEW WE WOULD GET HIT CONTINUOUSLY BY FUKUSHIMA CONTAMINATION?

NO PUBLIC INFORMATION PROVIDED? 
WHY NOT?
WHY ISN'T ANYONE MONITORING FOR CESIUM 134, THE VERY SPECIFIC "MARKER" FOR THE DAIICHI LEAKS?

THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA AND AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AGENCIES CONTINUE TO DENY OR IGNORE FINDINGS BY INDEPENDENT AGENCIES AND FOREIGN EXPERTS WHO ARE TRYING TO MAKE AMERICANS AWARE OF THE GROWING DANGER FROM THE FUKUSHIMA DISASTER IN JAPAN WHICH IS STILL CONTAMINATING AMERICAN AIR, WATER, SOIL AND HUMAN BEINGS, CONTINUED LEAKS FROM THE HANFORD NUCLEAR SITE IN WASHINGTON STATE, FROM THE WIPP SITE IN MEW MEXICO AND FROM AGING, LEAKING NUCLEAR FACILITIES ACROSS AMERICA.

IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR FAMILIES, YOU NEED TO SEE THESE LATEST REPORTS.

Published: February 3rd, 2015 

Excerpts from studies by scientists from Japan Atomic Energy Agency, Japan Meteorological Agency, NOAA, UK Met Office, Canadian Meteorological Centre, 2014-2015.

Japan and  U.S. Gov’t Experts:
 West Coast hit by radioactive plumes from massive explosions at Fukushima Unit 1 & Unit 3 — Maps of L.A. and San Francisco covered in red clouds removed from latest paper — Total releases ‘clearly larger’ than previously claimed — ‘Significantly’ higher discharges flowed toward U.S. than previously reported.

From Atmos. Chem. Phys. Discuss., 14, 14725-14832, 2014   

"Detailed source term estimation of the atmospheric release for the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station accident by coupling simulations of atmospheric dispersion model with improved deposition scheme and oceanic dispersion model"

This discussion paper has been under review for the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP). Please refer to the corresponding final paper in ACP.

~ We estimate a detailed time trend of atmospheric releases during the [Fukushima] accident by combining environmental monitoring data with atmospheric model simulations from WSPEEDI-II (Worldwide version of System for Prediction of Environmental Emergency Dose Information)

Our new source term often agreed well with that of Stohl et al. (2012) [the Stohl et al. cesium-137 release estimate is by far the highest of any included in this study.

The total amounts of released 131I and 137Cs estimated in this work… were clearly larger than those of the previous work for both radionuclides. The major reason for this increase was that when the plume flowed toward the Pacific Ocean we directly computed a significantly larger release amount…

[NOTE: THEY KEEP NOT MENTIONING CESIUM 134, THE "FINGERPRINT" OF THE DAIICHI POWER PLANT. THAT CESIUM 134 HAS A HALF LIFE OF JUST OVER 2 YEARS MEANS ANYWHERE IT IS FOUND SINCE THE MELTDOWNS MEANS IT IS STILL LEAKING INTO OUR ENVIRONMENT!

AND IT IS BEING FOUND, OVER FOUR YEARS AFTER THE ACCIDENTS.]

SPECIAL NOTE:
THIS ORIGINAL PAPER INCLUDED THE ABOVE FLOW MAPS WHICH SHOWED THE HEAVY CONCENTRATION ON AMERICA'S WEST COAST.

THE FINAL VERSION APPEARS WITH THESE INVALUABLE MAPS DELETED!

THE RELEASED AMOUNT WAS CONSIDERABLY MORE THAN INITIALLY REPORTED.

THE RELEASE OF RADIATION HAS NOT CEASED FOR EVEN ONE DAY SINCE FUKUSHIMA WAS DAMAGED IN MARCH OF 2011...NO ONE KNOWS YET HOW HIGH THE RADIOACTIVITY LEVELS MAY GO.

WE DO KNOW THAT BOTH THE AIR AND THE OCEAN IS CONTINUOUSLY CARRYING THIS NUCLEAR FALLOUT TO AMERICA.

WE DO NOT KNOW WHY SEVERAL MONITORING STATIONS HAVE BEEN SHUT-DOWN OR ARE NO LONGER REPORTING THIS ONGOING GLOBAL EMERGENCY.

AMERICANS DESERVE TO KNOW!

This study continues:
The plume discharged… over the Pacific Ocean and increased air concentration at Sacramento California, Melbourne Florida, Sand Point Alaska, and Oahu Hawaii… a hydrogen explosion also occurred [during this time period] at Unit 3 at 11:01 on 14 March.

The WSPEEDI simulation showed that the plume discharged by the hydrogen explosion… reached the west coast of the United States on 18–19 and 21–22 March, Sand Point in Alaska on 20–21 March, and Oahu in Hawaii on 20–21 March. [The highest release rate over the course of the disaster occurred Mar. 12 at 15:30 JST]

THAT WAS IN 2011, BUT WE WERE LED TO BELIEVE THAT WE HAD NOTHING AT ALL TO CONCERN OURSELVES WITH, THAT THE "RADIOACTIVE CLOUD" WOULD NOT AFFECT THE U.S. FOR YEARS, IF EVER!

WHY LIE, OR MISLEAD?

FUKUSHIMA FALLOUT WAS DETECTED FROM COAST-TO-COAST ALL OVER AMERICA ALL DURING THOSE FIRST TWO WEEKS AND NASA FOUND THAT IT CONTINUED INTO THE 3rd AND EVEN 4th WEEKS!

POLONIUM AND RADIOACTIVE IODINE WERE DETECTED NEAR THE NASA SITE IN MISSISSIPPI AFTER THE 2 WEEKS HAD PASSED!

THEY EVEN FOUND THOSE TWO ON SURFACE WATER OF THE PEARL RIVER!

Haida Gwaii Observer (BC, Canada), Jan 7, 2014

Strontium-90 from Fukushima found along west coast of N. America — “Plutonium… might be in the plume” — Scientist: There needs to be more monitoring… No sign radioactive releases from plant are going to stop.

A scientist at the University of Victoria is trying to find… residents who’d like to submit samples to be tested for radiation.

Professor Jay Cullen said a plume of radioactive material from Japan was tracked across the Pacific and arrived off the west coast of North America last June, 2013.
2013!
TWO YEARS LATER!

[REMEMBER THAT THE JAPANESE SCIENTISTS TRACKED THE INITIAL PLUME IN MARCH, 2011!]

“As of 2013, (it was) detected inshore along Vancouver Island,” Dr. Cullen said
Several radioactive materials have been found, with Cesium 137 the most potentially problematic.
The plume also contains other radioactive material, including  STRONTIUM-90.
Low levels of plutonium and tritium might be in the plume.

"There is no sign the release is going to stop," Dr. Cullen said.
He said he thinks there needs to be more monitoring, especially since the radioactive discharge will continue.

WE SHOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL TO CANADA, WHICH, ALTHOUGH NOT ACTIVELY MONITORING MUCH, IS MONITORING FOOD FISH MUCH BETTER THAN THE USA IS.

HERE'S WHAT THE REPORTS ON THAT TELL US:


Of the fish being sold to Canada, in 2012, the Vancouver Sun recorded the number of specimens testing positive for Cesium-137, namely:

100 per cent of monkfish, carp, seaweed and shark; 94% of cod and anchovies; 93% of tuna and eels; 92% of sardines; 91% of halibut; 73% of mackerel.

MANY SCIENTISTS AND NUCLEAR EXPERTS HAVE SAID THAT WE NEED MORE AND BETTER MONITORING, SO WHY DON'T WE HAVE THAT?

WHY THE GROWING CONCERN?
BECAUSE MASSIVE DIE-OFFS ARE OCCURRING IN THE PACIFIC, ALL ALONG OUR WESTERN SHORELINE.

BECAUSE BILLIONS OF MARINE ANIMALS ARE DYING OR HAVE DIED, HAVE CHANGED MIGRATION PATTERNS, ARE SPONTANEOUSLY ABORTING DEFORMED FETUSES, HAVING YOUNG THAT DIE WITHIN HOURS OR DAYS, AND ADULT ANIMALS ARE SHOWING UP WITH HORRIBLE, UNEXPLAINED LESIONS, EYES THAT ARE "MELTED", SKIN THAT IS FALLING OFF THEIR BODIES, FUR FALLING OUT.

MARINE SCIENTISTS HAVE PLEADED FOR MORE FREQUENT AND MORE EXTENSIVE TESTS OF CARCASSES.  
SO FAR, TESTS WERE DONE ON ONLY 2 WHALE CARCASSES, ONLY TWO OF THE HUNDREDS THAT HAVE DIED OF THE "GREAT WHALES". 

BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN APPEARANCE OF THYROID CANCER AND ANOMALOUS LESIONS IN INFANTS AND TODDLERS THERE, THE AMERICAN PEDIATRIC ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT THAT SINCE 2011! 

Article: "The impact of the Fukushima nuclear accident on marine biota: Retrospective assessment of the first year and perspectives."
Belgian Nuclear Research Centre, Boeretang 200, 2400 Mol, Belgium.

Jordi Vives i Batlle, Radioecologist at Belgian Nuclear Research Centre:

"The Fukushima accident is the only major nuclear accident that has resulted in the direct discharge of radioactive materials into a coastal environment… Radionuclides can also become biologically concentrated. 

There is ample evidence of this for I, Cs, Pu, and Am in many species of marine biota… Cs will tend to accumulate in fish… Pu and Am will tend to accumulate in benthic crustaceans and mollusks… potentially protracted times of elimination after the initial influx of radioactivity has dispersed from the area [should be accounted for]… irregular pulses of radioactivity [may have been released into] the marine environment [and] ambient concentrations could vary rapidly… 

Conservative screening approaches based on equilibrium concentration factors may therefore be inadequate. 
Such a situation calls for… models that are capable of calculating time-integrated dose for a pulsed release of radioactivity… 

Little is known regarding long-term effect to entire populations, a limitation that is unlikely to be resolved in the near future… accidental radiological releases pose particular challenges to the evaluation or impact in marine ecosystems [such as] scarcity of data from previous accidents, and another is the scarcity or information on how radiation affects interconnected populations of marine biota. 

Yet another challenge is the dynamic nature of the possible releases… the complexity of the marine environment [has] potential for local concentration and long-range dispersion."

THE CONTAMINATION CONTINUES, AND IT WILL NEVER STOP!
HOW MUCH MORE WILL IT TAKE BEFORE OUR ENTIRE PACIFIC OCEAN IS DEVOID OF ALL LIFE?

ABSTRACT: The accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, precipitated by the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that struck the northeastern coast of Japan in March 2011, has raised concerns about the potential impact to marine biota posed by the release of radioactive water and radionuclide particles into the environment. 

The Fukushima accident is the only major nuclear accident that has resulted in the direct discharge of radioactive materials into a coastal environment. This article briefly summarizes what is currently understood about the effects of radioactive wastewaters and radionuclides to marine life.

Swiss Journalist: Marine biologists say there's been a change in radioactive material coming from Fukushima -- More and more strontium being detected in samples, not just cesium.

THIS IS NO "CONSPIRACY THEORY! THIS IS FACT!

WHY ISN'T MAINSTREAM MEDIA REPORTING IT?
WHY IS JAPAN ALLOWING THIS TO CONTINUE?

WHY AREN'T THE WORLD'S LEADING SCIENTISTS AND NUCLEAR EXPERTS FINDING A WAY TO STOP THIS?

BECAUSE IT'S SIMPLY TOO LATE?

WORSE HERE IN NORTH AMERICA THAN IN JAPAN!

December 25th, 2013
RUSSIAN Officials:    
Expect airborne radiation releases from Fukushima to increase — Seafood catches off U.S. Pacific coast more likely to be contaminated than ones far closer to Japan — ‘Gravest danger’ to public is if they eat these products.

Maxim Shingarkin, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Natural Resources (Lower House of the Federal Assembly of Russia), Dec. 25, 2013: 

“Because of the world ocean currents, the seafood that’s caught off the US Pacific coast is more likely to contain radionuclides than the seafood in the Sea of Okhotsk, which is by far closer to Japan. It is these marine products that may find their way to the tables of different countries’ residents that pose the gravest danger... not all fuel has been removed from the damaged nuclear reactors yet. 

We can therefore expect atmospheric radiation releases as a result of the heating up of reactors.”

Vladimir Slivyak, lecturer at the Russia’s National Research University Higher School of Economics and co-chairman of Ekozashchita, Dec. 25, 2013: 

“Russia has been considering setting limits on catching marine products and fish in the Far East. But no restrictions have officially been imposed thus far, to the best of my knowledge. But some moves may eventually be made. 

 We are likely to learn about the detailed consequences of the Fukushima nuclear disaster in a matter of 10 to 15 years.

 It is clear that a great deal of fisheries, water grass areas and actually anything in the ocean has been contaminated.

Fukushima radiation is understandably spreading across the world. It is obvious that large areas have been contaminated in Japan. But it will take years of research to get a more detailed picture of the Fukushima disaster consequences.”

RUSSIA SEEMS FAR MORE CONCERNED ABOUT AMERICANS THAN OUR OWN GOVERNMENT DOES!

“You can expect an enormous amount of cancers” around the Pacific — “We’re all at risk, this radiated water is going to hit right here” in U.S. 

New York Post, Dec. 22, 2013:

"The National Academy of Sciences in the United States has affirmed for decades that ANY exposure to radioactivity, no matter how low the dose, carries a health risk for cancer.… Another dynamic of great concern  is the attitude of the nuclear establishment that the Pacific Ocean will dilute radioactivity... 

[NOT WITH ENORMOUSLY LARGE AMOUNTS STILL BEING DUMPED INTO IT DAILY!
THE MEDIA AND "EXPERTS" JUST WILL NOT TALK ABOUT BIOACCUMULATION, ABOUT HOW THE RADIATIONS IS CONSTANTLY ADDED TO, BUILDS UP IN A LIVING ORGANISM.]

“We are at the top of the food chain, so we’re going to get the most concentrated dose from seafood”

AND FROM ANYTHING ELSE THAT IS CONTAMINATED BY FALLOUT THAT WE INGEST.

"ON THE VERGE OF MASS EXTINCTION"

-- Jan , 2015: 

“Sea creatures sick, dying or disappearing at alarming rate all along Pacific coast… Some wonder if it’s fallout from Fukushima”   

University of California Santa Barbara, Jan 15, 2015: A consortium of scientists, including UC Santa Barbara’s Douglas McCauley, has found that the same patterns that led to the collapse of wildlife populations on land are now occurring in the sea… Their findings are published today in the journal Science… “All signs indicate that we may be initiating a marine industrial revolution,” [McCauley] said. “We are setting ourselves up in the oceans to replay the process of wildlife Armageddon that we engineered on land.”

— New York Times: “Ocean Life Faces Mass Extinction”  “We may be sitting on a precipice of a major extinction event,” said Douglas J. McCauley, an ecologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and an author of the new research, which was published on Thursday in the journal Science.

— Study: “We may be on precipice of major extinction event” in marine wildlife."

Jan 16, 2014: Loss of species in marine environments… appears to be increasing rapidly. McCauley et al. review the recent patterns of species decline and loss in marine environments… they note many worrying declines… our effects on marine animals are increasing in pace and impact… today’s low rates of marine extinction may be the prelude to a major extinction pulse.

ALL THIS, AND LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF ARTICLES AND DATA FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE, AND WE STILL AREN'T MONITORING THE FUKUSHIMA EFFECT?

WHY NOT?

INTERVIEW WITH  Dr. Christopher Busby, Jan. 7, 2014:  

"It’s terrifying how Pacific ecosystem has collapsed since Fukushima — Plutonium and uranium suspected of spreading through food chain."

Dr. Busby obtained First Class Honours BSc (Special) in Chemistry from the University of London and researched spectro-electrochemistry at the University of Kent, gaining a PhD.. He was a member of the UK Ministry of Defence Oversight Committee on Depleted Uranium and was elected a Fellow of the University of Liverpool in the Faculty of Medicine.

IT  IS BECOMING A NIGHTMARE  
January 20th, 2015 

“It’s like a scene from a horror movie” along West Coast — “We’re seeing all sorts of mysterious goings-on” — “There is no food out there” — Scientists can’t figure out why there’s mass starvation of seabirds — “This is a really serious thing” — “A species die-off is always unsettling”

“Scientists cannot figure out why there’s a mass starvation going on.
128 times normal levels of just one species of marine birds, 3 years in a row!"

Cynthia Daily, operator of the nonprofit Discovery Bay Raptor Rehabilitation and Education Center in Port Townsend has stated, "there is no food out there.”

According to COASST seabird program coordinator Jane Dolliver, the reason for the massive die-off “is the $3 million question,” but she feels that it has to do with more than just a shortage of food.

“If it was only a lack of food, then more species would be affected."

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration determined the current number of sea lion strandings warrants an investigation. 

The agency is calling the situation an unusual mortality event.

 Under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 (as amended), an Unusual Mortality Event (UME) has been declared for California sea lions in California from January 2013 through the present. 

Beginning in January 2013, elevated strandings of California sea lion pups have been observed in Southern California (Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Counties). 
The area with the highest reported stranding rates is currently Los Angeles County, followed by Orange County, and strandings are increasing in San Diego County.

 AS OF OCTOBER 1, 2015, A NEW UNUSUAL MORTALITY EVENT WAS DECLARED FOR GUADALUPE FUR SEALS, WASHING ASHORE IN CALIFORNIA BY THE HUNDREDS, MOSTLY YOUNG ONES, EMACIATED, NO FOOD IN THEIR STOMACHS.

A 'UME' WAS DECLARED FOR THE WHALES OFF THE ALASKA COAST THIS YEAR.

ADD IT ALL UP!
LOOK AT THE DATA!
ALL THIS SCREAMS "FUKUSHIMA"!

MOVING INLAND, THE ARTICLES AND STUDIES, THE INVESTIGATIVE REPORTS ABOUT THE HANFORD SITE IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON ARE TOO NUMEROUS TO LIST.

WHAT FOLLOWS ARE ACCOUNTS OF JUST A FEW OF THEM.
THERE IS NOT ONE SHRED OF GOOD NEWS, EVER, ABOUT HANFORD, THE MOST TOXIC PLACE ON EARTH!
FOR AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT THIS ABOMINATION, SEE MY BLOG DETAILING ITS HISTORY HERE:

http://havacuppahemlock1.blogspot.com/2014/03/hanford-nuclear-facility-falling-apart.html

THOUSANDS HAVE DIED FROM CANCER CAUSED BY HANFORD'S LEAKS, BABIES ARE BORN WITH HORRIFIC BIRTH DEFECTS IN THAT ONE SMALL AREA. WATER AND SOIL FOR 200 MILES AROUND IT HAVE TESTED OFF THE CHARTS FOR RADIATION THAT COULD KILL A BULL ELEPHANT QUICKLY, BUT WHO CARES?

Hanford Nuclear Waste Tank Allowed To Keep Leaking For Over A Year, According To Deal

Updated: 11/30/2014
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — A new deal allows a radioactive waste storage tank to continue leaking for more than a year before its contents are pumped out at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, the nation's most polluted nuclear site.

"Every day this tank leaks creates additional dangers," said Gerry Pollet, executive director of Heart of America Northwest, a long-time Hanford watchdog group. "Federal and state laws require that leaking tanks of any toxic waste must be emptied immediately. The Energy Department should not get special dispensation just because Hanford officials failed to take action over the past three years to have equipment in place to remove the wastes or to plan to build new storage tanks."

The deal to pump nuclear waste tank AY-102, announced late Monday, is between the U.S. Department of Energy and the Washington State Department of Ecology. Under the deal, pumping of the double-walled tank would not begin until 2016, and it would take a year to complete.

AND THEN ANOTHER YEAR, ANOTHER DECADE?

HANFORD HAS $2 BILLION APPROVED BY CONGRESS TO GET IT RIGHT EVERY YEAR, SO WHAT DO THEY SPEND THOSE BILLIONS ON?  

"Does the budget for Hanford (more than $2 billion) protect workers from toxic chemical exposures, provide an Operational Readiness Review of the nuclear safety of the Waste Treatment Plant, and fund construction of new double-shell tanks to replace the leaking ones?"  

 "Bechtel has had a particularly troubled performance history with the Department of Energy. Under Bechtel management estimated costs for the Waste Treatment Plant at the Hanford nuclear reservation soared from $3.5 billion to $13 billion, with numerous complaints of retaliation against whistleblowers."

March 01, 2014
‘Construction flaws’ in six Hanford nuclear waste tanks, 13 more may be compromised.

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!
HANFORD COUNTED 67 LEAKING SINGLE-SHELL CONTAINERS 2 YEARS AGO!
THOSE, THEY SAID, COULD NOT BE REPAIRED!
“The citizens living along the banks of the Columbia River deserve to know the full story of what is happening with the Hanford tanks”

Tom Carpenter from a citizen’s watchdog group called Hanford Challenge said he wasn’t surprised at the news of the leaking tanks.

“These tanks have an engineering design life, and we’re reaching the end. 
Its bad planning that they don’t have new tanks up and running,” he said.

“The price for cleaning up the environment once this stuff gets out is incalculable,” he added.

SO IS THE COST IN HUMAN LIVES!
HOW MANY MORE HAVE TO DIE?

WIPP   
THE "DIRTY BOMB" IN NEW MEXICO...WIPP.

WIPP SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN BUILT AND THE ENGINEERS KNEW IT!

SALT CAVES ARE RENOWN FOR CAVING IN!  

WHY NO MAINSTREAM DAILY MEDIA COVERAGE ON THE WIPP CATASTROPHE?

RADIATION FROM THIS SITE HAS BEEN DETECTED IN TEXAS, OKLAHOMA AND MEXICO, BUT STILL NOTHING ON THE NATIONAL "NIGHTLY NEWS"!

WIPP IS ANOTHER NASTY NUKE SITE I HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT BEFORE.

MSM Blackout: ‘Ceiling Collapse’ at WIPP Nuclear Waste Dump, Roof Separated and 6 Areas At Risk!  

The repository has been closed since February 2014, when a canister of waste from Los Alamos National Laboratory leaked in one of its underground storage rooms. Twenty-two workers were contaminated, and the indefinite closure has stalled efforts around the nation to clean up tons of Cold War-era waste.

“I feel like they are not telling us everything,” said Leah Hunt.

Ceiling collapses at WIPP nuclear waste dump – 6 other areas at risk due to ‘significant bolt loss’ — Failures are exceeding safety levels

- WIPP Expert: “Very likely” multiple nuclear waste drums exploded, risk of more occurring; It was clearly something major… signs of fire at container holding over 500 billion Bq of Plutonium and Americium — Nuclear Engineer: “This is a huge dirty bomb”

AP, Jan 22, 2015: Ceiling Collapse At WIPP… ceiling at the federal government’s underground nuclear waste repository in southern New Mexico has collapsed. The U.S. Energy Department’s Carlsbad Field Office… announced the finding Wednesday, saying it highlighted the need for workers to continue with roof bolting operations at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.

Jim Blankenhorn, Nuclear Waste Partnership – URS, Jan 8, 2015: 

As many of you know, ground control has been a significant concern for all of us, in that we all realize that the mine itself is going to continue to creep with the pressures on the salt deposits… not bolting for a period of time potentially raises some concerns. We’ve been working pretty aggressively… 

As part of ongoing inspections of the ground conditions… they’ve identified some of the – not the backs… but the ribs, the actual sides of these drifts– we had one specific area that had a large section the was starting to come separate from the wall itself… so that was about a 200 foot area that we put new bolts in…"

LEAKS IN STORAGE CONTAINERS OUTSIDE HAVE BEEN FOUND BEFORE THIS, AND THE ENTIRE SITE HAS BEEN THREATENED BY WILDFIRES.

STILL NO CLEANUP, NO ANSWERS!
THEY JUST KEEP GIVING THESE CLOWNS MORE TIME!

OTHER AMERICAN SITES

A WEBSITE I APPRECIATE VERY MUCH WILL GIVE YOU A LOOK AT THE MANY, MANY LEAKING FACILITIES AND "ACCIDENTS" ALL ACROSS AMERICA.
SEE... http://www.anythingradioactive.com/nuggenvirons.htm

YOU MAY BE SADLY SURPRISED HOW MANY SUCH PLACES EXIST!

OUR NUCLEAR STORAGE SITES ARE SIMPLY WEARING OUT, ARE WAY PAST THEIR PRIME, ARE FAILING RAPIDLY, BUT CONGRESS WON'T DO ONE THING TO FORCE THESE PLACES TO CLEAN UP OR SHUT DOWN!
WE SHOULD CALL CONGRESS EVERY DAY AND ASK OUR ELECTEDS WHY!

LOCAL TV STATIONS ALSO DID SEVERAL INTERVIEWS WITH THE HORSES' OWNERS, SO THIS HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED AS FACTUAL.

One way to measure radiation which the United States Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] has chosen to use on its radiation websites is in Counts Per Minute. Each Count is One Radioactive Decay.”

LOOK, I AM IN NO WAY SUGGESTING A PANIC, NOR SHOULD WE HAVE FEAR, BUT WE SHOULD ALL BE ANGRY AND DEMAND SOMEONE STOP THIS.

JAPAN DAMNED WELL CAN'T, OR WON'T,  SO MOVE THEM OUT OF THE WAY AND GET SOMEONE WHO CAN FIX THAT THING AND THEN SHUT IT DOWN PROPERLY FOREVER...AND ALL THE REST.

THE LOUSY 11% OF OUR GLOBAL ELECTRICITY NEEDS THAT NUKE PLANTS PROVIDE SHOW WE CAN DO WITHOUT THEM.

WE'LL BE BURYING AND DUMPING NUCLEAR WASTE FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW, AND EVERY DAY THEY OPERATE AROUND THIS WORLD SEES TONS MORE OF WASTE THAT WILL HAVE TO BE DISPOSED OF.

DO YOU WANT NUCLEAR WASTE IN YOUR BACKYARDS?

WANT IT OR NOT, IF WE DON'T STOP IT NOW, THEY'LL  EVENTUALLY HAVE TO LOOK AT BACK YARDS FOR STORAGE, JUST LIKE JAPAN IS DOING NOW.
