THYROID CANCER IN AMERICA HAS INCREASED SO DRAMATICALLY THAT SOME ARE CALLING IT AN EPIDEMIC.
YET THE EPA, ET AL, TOLD US WE DIDN'T NEED TO TAKE ANY PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT THAT AFTER THE JAPANESE NUCLEAR DISASTER!
THEY WARNED CITIZENS ON "NEEDLESSLY USING POTASSIUM IODIDE TABLETS" BECAUSE OF FEAR OF RADIATION HARM.
Scientists: Test West Coast for Fukushima radiation
USA TODAY 12:53 p.m. EDT March 9, 2014
"Buesseler and other scientists are calling for more monitoring.
No federal agency currently samples Pacific Coast seawater for radiation,
he said.
"I'm not trying to be alarmist," Buesseler said. "
We can make predictions, we can do models.
But unless you have results, how will we know it's safe?"
Cesium 134 serves as a fingerprint for Fukushima, Buesseler said.Government Reacts to Fukushima Radiation Crisis By Raising Acceptable Radiation Standards … Instead of Fixing Anything
"2 weeks after the Fukushima accident, we reported that the government responded to the nuclear accident by trying to raise acceptable radiation levels and pretending that radiation is good for us.
And there are so many new leaks that even the mainstream press is starting to admit that Fukushima was never fixed.
Fukushima radiation is showing up in fish on the West Coast of the United States. Scientists are starting to sound the alarm as to additional human deaths and health problems on the U.S. West Coast due to Fukushima radiation, and an epidemic of injuries to sealife.
An investigation by Associated Press found that 75 percent of all U.S. nuclear sites have leaked radioactive tritium.
In fact, whistleblowers at the Nuclear Regulator Commission say that the risk of a major meltdown at U.S. nuclear reactors is much higher than it was at Fukushima.
So what has the American government done to protect us?
So what has the American government done to protect us?
It has pressured the Japanese government to re-start its nuclear program, and is allowing Fukushima seafood to be sold in the U.S.
And U.S. nuclear regulators actually weakened safety standards for U.S. nuclear reactors after the Fukushima disaster.
As we noted 6 months after Fukushima melted down:
As we noted 6 months after Fukushima melted down:
The failure of the American, Canadian and other governments to test for and share results is making it difficult to hold an open scientific debate about what is happening.American and Canadian authorities have virtually stopped monitoring airborne radiation, and are not testing fish for radiation. (Indeed, the EPA reacted to Fukushima by raising “acceptable” radiation levels.)
According to Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) [a government whistleblower support group], that means agencies responding to radiation emergencies may permit many more civilian fatalities.
“In soil, the PAGs allow long-term public exposure to radiation in amounts as high as 2,000 millirems,” PEER advocacy director Kirsten Stade said in a press release.
“This would, in effect, increase a longstanding 1 in 10,000 person cancer rate to a rate of 1 in 23 persons exposed over a 30-year period.”
“This would, in effect, increase a longstanding 1 in 10,000 person cancer rate to a rate of 1 in 23 persons exposed over a 30-year period.”
Former MSNBC host Cenk Uygur has admitted that while he was at MSNBC he was instructed not to warn the public about the radiation coming from Fukushima…
“I was on MSNBC at the time when this happened, I said, “Don’t trust what the Japanese government is saying, they’ll say trust what the electric power company is saying.
Go, go, go, get outta there. Get as far away from that plant as you can. It’s literally a core meltdown.”
And they always don’t want people to panic, so they were always like, “Oh it’s going to be okay.” [...]
I’m like, “You’re crazy man, don’t be anywhere near that reactor.”
And I remember at the time, of course not at The Young Turks, but on cable news, people were like, “Hey Cenk, you know, I don’t know that you want to say that, because the official government position is that it’s safe.”
Oh, is that the official government position?
Now go explain that to the people who served on the USS Ronald Reagan.”
It was discovered back in 1978, that even the smallest amount of radiation will cause cancer and genetic damage, and this is according to many researchers and scientists studying this and reporting on this, around the world.
(But the nuclear industry keeps lying and deceiving the public about this, saying the opposite.)
Dr. Johanes Ude (professor of Catholic moral theology and friend of Albert Schweitzer) said that the use of nuclear energy is a CRIME against humanity. Building and defending the lie that nuclear power is harmless is a CRIME against humanity.
Dr. Charnosenko (in charge of cleanup of Chernobyl) says that in the future, the negative consequences of atomic energy will be disastrous.
Dr. Holger Strohm - Plutonium From Fukushima Will Kill Millions
He says that nuclear power is the MOST DANGEROUS technology that humankind has discovered up to now.
Nuclear experts and the corporate owned mass media say that these accidents have no consequences, and this is a lie.
#3 reactor and spent fuel pool at Fukushima contained over a TON of plutonium. (This means it was a breeder reactor)
Plutonium is a very dangerous substance that can turn into nano particles very easily in case of a nuclear accident.
After an accident, plutonium nano dust rises into the air, gets carried by the wind and then goes around the world, where we inhale it or eat it with food or drink it with water.
"Experts" say that Chernobyl was not REALLY dangerous.
Actually, it was a special reactor, designed to make pure weapons bomb grade plutonium.
This was and still is a huge secret that was covered up by the Soviets.
Fuel rods were only in the reactor for a short time, compared to a normal nuclear reactor. There was hardly any radioactivity in the reactor, when it exploded.
The graphite, plutonium, uranium, cesium and other radioactive nano particles went way up in the air and went around the world.
This accident, with just one reactor, and with no spent fuel pool, plus hardly any radiation in the fuel, killed over one million people (just in Russia), which has been documented by scientific studies.

For other reactors, such as the GE nuclear reactors, this is and will
not be the same case of low radiation amounts.
In case of a future nuclear accident, millions of people will die, because more radiation will be released, much more than Chernobyl.
(Fukushima is one example of how millions will die.)

It does not matter if the civilian nuclear industry or the military creates a radioactive particle.
Radiation is radiation and it is extremely dangerous.
“…there is no safe level of exposure to ionising radiation, and the search for quantifying such a safe level is in vain.”—Rosalie Bertell, PhD.
IAEA Admits: There Is No Such Thing As ‘Safe’ Levels Of Radiation
June 2 — PUTRAJAYA: International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) today admitted there is no such thing as “safe” levels of radiation. However , it told the Consumer Association of Penang that some radiation levels could be justified.
Mohideen also said that the IAEA’s radiation standards were merely an “international consensus” as studies had not found a safe level of radiation.
He also cited a study from the National Academy of Science which said that one out of five workers would suffer from cancer if exposed to what the IAEA deemed an allowable radiation level.
JUSTIFIED? HOW CAN CANCER-CAUSING AGENTS KNOWINGLY RELEASED UPON MANKIND BE JUSTIFIED?NO, NO IT IS NOT JUSTIFIED!
IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!
IT IS MORALLY AND ETHICALLY WRONG!
"There is no safe dose of radiation"
~ Prof. Edward P. Radford, Physician and Epidemiologist
Dr. John Gofman, Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Berkley:
"Licensing a nuclear power plant is in my view, licensing random premeditated murder.
First of all, when you license a plant, you know what you're doing--so it's premeditated.
You can't say, "I didn't know."
Second, the evidence on radiation-producing cancer is beyond doubt.
I've worked fifteen years on it [as of 1982], and so have many others.
It is not a question any more: radiation produces cancer, and the evidence is good all the way down to the lowest doses. "
Here is another equally revealing quote from an article well worth reading by Professor Chris Busby entitled "Deconstructing Nuclear Experts":
"The nuclear industry is waging a war against humanity."
This war has now entered an endgame which will decide the survival of the human race.
Not from sudden nuclear war.
But from the on-going and incremental nuclear war which began with the releases to the biosphere in the 60s of all the atmospheric test fallout, and which has continued inexorably since then through Windscale, Kyshtym, 3-Mile Island, Chernobyl, Hanford, Sellafield, La Hague, Iraq and now Fukushima, accompanied by parallel increases in cancer rates and fertility loss to the human race."
The widespread ignorance over the true dangers associated with "internal radiation exposures" make it possible for CNN's Sanja Gupta and similar "experts" to (mis)inform the public with all earnestness that radiation associated with the Fukushima meltdown and atmospheric release are of no concern, and is why those who wish to exercise the precautionary principle are often labeled "fear mongers" or "radiophobes."
In 2003 the ECRR released a new radiation exposure model, which will forever transform the way we view the nuclear industry and its affect on human health:
In that report the ECRR showed that the older models of radiation risk used by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR), were clearly wrong and profoundly minimized the adverse health consequences associated with nuclear reactor meltdowns or the use of depleted uranium for military armour and munitions.
When the ECRR compared its results to that of the ICRP for total number of deaths resulting from the nuclear project since 1945 the ICRP results in 1,173,600 deaths from cancer.
The ECRR model predicts 61,600,000 deaths from cancer, 1,600,000 infant deaths and 1,900,000 fetal deaths.
In addition the ECRR predicted a 10% loss of life quality integrated over all diseases and conditions in those who were exposed over the period of global weapons fallout.

WHO WILL PREVENT MORE DEATHS FROM FUKUSHIMA?
OBVIOUSLY NOT THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT...NOR OUR OWN!
Even low-level radioactivity is damaging, says meta-analysis of published studies
Even the very lowest levels of radiation are harmful to life, scientists have concluded in the Cambridge Philosophical Society’s journalBiological Reviews.
“It also provides evidence that there is no threshold below which there are no effects of radiation."
11 Facts About The Ongoing Fukushima Nuclear Holocaust
Fukushima: A Nuclear War without a War: The Unspoken Crisis of Worldwide Nuclear Radiation
In the words of renowned novelist Haruki Murakami:
“This time no one dropped a bomb on us … We set the stage, we committed the crime with our own hands, we are destroying our own lands, and we are destroying our own lives.”“Hazardous radioactive elements being released in the sea and air around Fukushima accumulate at each step of various food chains (for example, into algae, crustaceans, small fish, bigger fish, then humans; or soil, grass, cow’s meat and milk, then humans). Entering the body, these elements – called internal emitters – migrate to specific organs such as the thyroid, liver, bone, and brain, continuously irradiating small volumes of cells with high doses of alpha, beta and/or gamma radiation, and over many years often induce cancer”. ( Fukushima: Nuclear Apologists Play Shoot the Messenger on Radiation, The Age, April 26, 2011
Back in 2012, the Vancouver Sun reported that cesium-137 was being found in a very high percentage of the fish that Japan was selling to Canada…
• 73 percent of the mackerel
• 91 percent of the halibut
• 92 percent of the sardines
• 93 percent of the tuna and eel
• 94 percent of the cod and anchovies
• 100 percent of the carp, seaweed, shark and monkfish
An EU-funded study concluded that Fukushima released up to 210 quadrillion becquerels of cesium-137 into the atmosphere.
AND THAT WAS THE EARLIER NUMBERS...ADD TO THAT EVERY DAY THAT PLANT EXISTS!
WAY BACK IN 2013, TEPCO ITSELF FOUND AND REPORTED...
"Record outdoor radiation level that ‘can kill in 20 minutes’ detected in December, 2013 at Fukushima.
TEPCO measured radiation at eight locations around the pipe with the highest estimated at two locations - 25 Sieverts per hour and about 15 Sieverts per hour, the company said. "
NASA SCIENTISTS DETECTED AND REPORTED IN 2012 THAT "ANOMALOUSLY HIGH LEVELS" OF POLONIUM-210, Pb-210, AND RADIOACTIVE IODINE WERE DETECTED IN SOUTHERN STATES, AT THE NASA STENNIS CENTER, IN THE PEARL RIVER, IN RAINFALL, JUST 11 DAYS AFTER THE FUKUSHIMA DISASTER.
THEY WARNED THEN THAT WE WOULD BE AT HIGH RISK FOR FUTURE HEALTH PROBLEMS, AND ADDRESSED THE THYROID CANCER AND LEUKEMIA RISKS.
WHAT MAJOR NEWS MEDIA HEADLINED THAT?
NONE!
READ THAT STUDY <HERE>.
AFTER THE WINDSCALE FIRE AT THE PLUTONIUM FACTORY IN ENGLAND IN 1957, BRITISH SCIENTISTS SOUNDED A HIGH ALARM ABOUT HOW DANGEROUS POLONIUM-210 WAS.
210-Po WAS WHAT CAUSED THE DEATH OF THAT RUSSIAN SPY AND WAS BLAMED FOR THE DEATH OF YASSER ARAFAT, REMEMBER?
OUR MEDIA DOWNPLAYS ALL OTHER RADIONUCLIDES EXCEPT THAT CESIUM-137.
NO PUBLIC DATA ON CESIUM-134 WHICH CAN ONLY BE FROM THE DAIICHI MELTDOWN, , OR ANY OTHER RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINANT RELEASED INCESSANTLY OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS FROM THE DAIICHI FACILITY.
OUR MEDIA KEEP FOCUSING ON WASTEWATER RELEASES INTO THE PACIFIC AND HOW HARMLESS THAT IS, BUT DAIICHI IS LEAKING INTO THE ATMOSPHERE, THE GROUNDWATER, THE SOIL, CONSTANTLY, ALL THE TIME.
AND NOT ONE ATOM OF ANY OF THAT RADIATION IS HARMLESS!
EVEN THE EPA IS HAVING TO ADMIT THAT BECAUSE THERE IS TOO MUCH HISTORICAL DATA FROM THE MANHATTAN PROJECT, FROM THE OLD ATOMIC ENERGY GROUP, FROM OTHER GOVERNMENT STUDIES NOW DECLASSIFIED TO PROVE WE'VE ALWAYS KNOWN THAT ONE PARTICLE OF RADIATION ENTERING THE HUMAN BODY CAUSES A CASCADE, AND THE LONGER IT STAYS IN A HUMAN BODY, THE WORSE THE OUTCOME.
IN SPITE OF THE CALL FOR BETTER MORE INTENSE AND CONSTANT MONITORING FROM TOP SCIENTISTS AND MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, DESPITE RESIDENTS OF CALIFORNIA COASTAL TOWNS AND INDIGENOUS TRIBES FROM CANADA AND ALASKA BRINGING PETITIONS TO THE EPA AND OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO TEST THEIR AIR, SOIL AND WATER, THE EPA INSTEAD SHUT DOWN A THIRD OF ALL MONITORING SITES THE DAY AFTER THE EXPLOSIONS IN JAPAN!
IT WILL NOT FUND NEW STUDIES!
WHY NOT?
THOUGH IT PROMISED TO CONTINUE MONITORING IT HAS NOT UPDATED SINCE JUNE, 2011 ON ITS "RADNET" SITE!
"This site contains information and data from March 11, 2011 to June 30, 2011. EPA has returned to routine RadNet operations.
This site will continue to be available for historical and informative purposes."
THEY GAVE EXCUSES WHY THEY HAVE STOPPED MONITORING IN <THIS DOCUMENT HERE>
PLEASE DON'T FALL FOR THE DOWNPLAYING OF THIS GLOBAL DISASTER...IT IS NOT GOING AWAY AND IGNORING IT WILL NOT HELP ANY OF US.
PASS THIS ON:
THERE IS NO SAFE LEVEL OF RADIATION, NONE. THERE IS NO SAFE LEVEL OF RADIATION, NONE.
ABOUT THAT "NORMAL BACKGROUND LEVEL OF CESIUM"...
THERE IS NO SUCH THING!
"Caesium-137 is unique in that it is totally anthropogenic.
Unlike most other radioisotopes, caesium-137 is not produced from its non-radioactive isotope, but from uranium.
It did not occur in nature before nuclear weapons testing began.
By observing the characteristic gamma rays emitted by this isotope, it is possible to determine whether the contents of a given sealed container were made before or after the advent of atomic bomb explosions.
This procedure has been used by researchers to check the authenticity of certain rare wines, most notably the purported “Jefferson bottles”."
2,053 nuclear tests occurred between 1945 and 1998...
THEN WE HAD CHERNOBYL AND NOW FUKUSHIMA, AND EVERY DILAPIDATED LEAKING NUCLEAR FACILITY ACROSS THE GLOBE.
AND IT JUST KEEPS COMING AT US DAY AFTER DAY.
Above-ground nuclear tests – which caused numerous cancers to the “downwinders” – were covered up by the American, French and other governments for decades. See this, this, this, this, this and this.
But the amount of radiation pumped out by Fukushima dwarfs the amount released by the nuclear tests.
CALL YOUR LYING CONGRESSMEN AND MAKE THEM DO SOMETHING, OR AT LEAST MAKE THEM TELL THE TRUTH FOR ONCE IN THEIR POLITICAL LIVES!
WE HAVE A RIGHT TO FACTS, AND TRUTH.
THIS IS THE ONLY WORLD WE HAVE....IT NEEDS OUR HELP.
