MASS DIE-OFF OF SALMON IN WEST COAST RIVERS.
MANY SHOWED SKIN LESIONS, EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL TUMORS AND STRANGE MUTATIONS. THE FISH DID NOT SPAWN AS BEFORE, HAD INTERNAL ORGAN MALFORMATIONS. HOWEVER, AS WITH ALMOST ALL (NON-KOSHER) FOOD ANIMALS, THE CANCEROUS OR DISEASED PIECES WERE CARVED OUT AND THE REST SOLD TO THE PUBLIC.
FEW REALIZE THIS IS PERFECTLY LEGAL,
FIRST, LET'S GET ONE THING FILED INTO OUR MEMORY BANKS:
"Radiation contamination bio-accumulates over time, particularly in meat, dairy and seafood grown and harvested in radiation contaminated areas. Ingested radiation from contaminated food radiates body cells with high doses of radiation for long periods of time.
LOW-LEVEL RADIATION HAS BEEN DECLARED DANGEROUS SINCE THE 1940s, AND MORE RECENTLY, THAT WAS DISTINCTLY REITERATED IN A "NEW" STUDY.
SEE: Reporting the results of a wide-ranging analysis of 46 peer-reviewed studies published over the past 40 years, researchers from the University of South Carolina and the University of Paris-Sud found that variation in low-level, natural background radiation had small, but highly statistically significant, negative effects on DNA as well as several measures of health.
According to the Petkau Effect long term low level radiation can potentially be more dangerous than a short high dose.
KEEP THAT IN MIND, PLEASE.
Independent fisheries scientist Alexandra Morton is raising concerns about a disease she says is spreading through Pacific herring causing fish to hemorrhage. “Two days ago I did a beach seine on Malcolm Island [near Port McNeill on northern Vancouver Island] and I got approximately 100 of these little herring and they were not only bleeding from their fins, but their bellies, their chins, their eyeballs.
“It was 100 per cent … I couldn’t find any that weren’t bleeding to some degree.
And they were schooling with young sockeye [salmon]”
“I have never seen fish that looked this bad.”
BUT THE FISHING BOATS WENT OUT AND AMERICANS CONTINUED EATING FROM THE PACIFIC.
CALIFORNIA SUNFLOWERS, THE "NEW NORM"...
DEFORMED.
SCIENTISTS ARE "STUDYING" THE CAUSE...
ANOTHER CALIFORNIA SUNFLOWER.
NOT AN UNCOMMON SIGHT ANYMORE.
ONE CALIFORNIA NATIVE POSTED MANY PHOTOS OF HER DEFORMED LEMONS, LAUGHING AT THEIR ODD SHAPES, BUT IT ISN'T FUNNY....IS IT?
For all the naysayers, those in denial, who said that Fukushima radiation wasn’t hitting the West Coast, here’s news from late 2014:
"UC Berkeley lab tests are now showing high levels of cesium in cattle feed from a California dairy farm – asphalt along a California roadside which catches plenty of rainfall was then measured and a disturbing 3579 pci/kg were found. By anyone’s standards, that cannot just be chalked up as background radiation. Fukushima fallout isn't just coming via ocean currents. It is in our rain, air and soil now. "
WE WERE WARNED THAT, EVENTUALLY, THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT WOULD SEE RADIATION LEVELS HIGHER THAN IN JAPAN BECAUSE OF THE MOVEMENT OF THE RADIOACTIVE AIRBORNE PARTICLES AND THE OCEAN CURRENTS THAT BRING ALL THAT DAILY LEAKAGE FROM THE DAIICHI FACILITY TO OUR PART OF THE WORLD, BUT I WAS TRULY SURPRISED AT HOW SOON THAT HAPPENED.
AS OF 2012 AND 2013, RADIATION LEVELS IN AMERICAN FOOD, MILK, AND WATER WERE ALREADY TOPPING LEVELS SEEN IN JAPAN.
IT BEGAN IN 2011
In June of 2011, government scientists were already scheduled to do broad radiation testing of sealife in Alaska.
This was not related to Fukushima.
They found that the increase in radiation from Fukushima increased from a low background to a super high level EXACTLY as was found BEFORE in that area, after direct nuclear bomb testing in Alaska in the 1960’s.
THE BOMBS WENT UP AND ANIMALS DIED, RADIATION LEVELS WERE VERY HIGH.
THE BOMBS WENT UP AND ANIMALS DIED, RADIATION LEVELS WERE VERY HIGH.
Wrap your head around that... THE SAME SCENARIO AS BEFORE IN THE 1960s, JUST AS LOCAL TRIBES AND OLD FISHERMEN HAVE SAID SINCE 2011.
In particular, CS137 in lichen in Amchitka prior to Fukushima was around 2.5 Bq/kG dry weight.
After Fukushima, in June 2011, before the process of biomagnification even got into full swing, the radiation had rocketed up to 250 Bq/kG…..100 times higher, and certainly already at unsafe levels.
30 Bq/kG has been shown to be very damaging to animals.
30 Bq/kG has been shown to be very damaging to animals.
The Vancouver Sun reported in 2011 that the seaweed tested from waters off the coast of British Columbia were 4 times the amount considered safe.
No further test results were released after the initial report.
No further test results were released after the initial report.
AS MEASURED BY NOAA... WOODS HOLE...
Cesium levels in the Pacific had initially gone up an astonishing 45 million times above pre-accident levels.
The levels then declined rapidly for a while, but after that, they unexpectedly levelled off.
In July, cesium levels stopped declining and remained stuck at 10,000 times above pre-accident levels.
This means the ocean is NOT diluting the radiation as expected.
If it had been, cesium levels would have kept falling.
LEVELS WILL NEVER FALL AS LONG AS THE DAIICHI FACILITY IS ALLOWED TO LEAK AND TEPCO IS ALLOWED TO DUMP RADIOACTIVE WASTE INTO THE PACIFIC AND BURN RADIOACTIVE WASTE ALL OVER JAPAN.

Less than two weeks after the tsunami and subsequent nuclear disaster, Michael Kane, an investigative journalist, reported,
“In the wake of the continuing nuclear tragedy in Japan, the United States government is still moving quickly to increase the amounts of radiation the population can “safely” absorb by raising the safe zone for exposure to levels designed to protect the government and nuclear industry more than human life.”
Over 2,374 tests since March 15, 2011 have yielded high radiation detections in air, water, food and drink.
As alarming as many of those tests have been, new information uncovered by EnviroReporter.com [MICHAEL COLLINS] strongly suggests that the Fukushima contamination has insinuated itself into the environment and INTO human beings SOONER THAN EXPECTED in ways previously not known to the public.
Radionuclides that could have only come from the ongoing triple meltdowns 5,000 miles upwind and up-current in the Pacific Ocean are making their way into California crops. ... AND WE'RE EATING THOSE.
KALE, ARUGULA, SPINACH, STRAWBERRIES, ORANGES, TOMATOES, MILK, PISTACHIOS, MELONS, SEA KELP TO SEAFOODS ALL TESTED HIGHER AND HIGHER FOR RADIATION, FROM 2011 UNTIL TODAY, 2016.
HOW QUICKLY PLANTS WERE AFFECTED WAS SHOCKING.
BUT WATER SUPPLIES ALL ACROSS AMERICA ARE SHOWING ELEVATED RADIATION READINGS AS WELL.
FEW REMEMBER THAT 18 CITIES IN THAT FIRST POST-FUKUSHIMA MONTH WERE WARNED ABOUT RADIATION IN THEIR WATER SUPPLIES.
“In samples of dehydrated seaweed taken on March 15 near the North Vancouver SeaBus terminal, the count was zero; on March 22, 2012 it was 310 Bq per kilogram; and by March 28 it was 380 Bq/kg.” –Vancouver Sun
The fallout continues unabated at extremely high levels in rainfall across North America and now in the Southern Hemisphere.
APRIL 4, 2012, NAVEL ORANGES SHIPPED FROM CALIFORNIA TO TOKYO REGISTERED 8 TIMES U.S. ACCEPTABLE LEVELS FOR BOTH CESIUM-134 AND 137.
'SECURITY TOKYO' MEASURED SIMILAR ORANGES AT 4 TIMES THE ACCEPTABLE LIMIT.
MILK FROM NEAR SAN FRANCISCO MEASURED BY UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AT BERKELEY'S NUCLEAR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT SHOWED BOTH CESIUM 134 AND 137 IN DECEMBER, 2011.
RESULTS FROM BERKELEY LABS WAS RELEASED ON JAN.14, 2012.
CALIFORNIA CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE THESE LEVELS PUBLICIZED.
IT PRODUCES 80% TO 87% OF THE NATION'S CITRUS PRODUCTS.
DITTO FOR ALMONDS AND PISTACHIOS, THE LATTER OF WHICH WERE THE MOST RADIOACTIVE OF ANYTHING TESTED BY SECURITY TOKYO.
THE TESTING LAB USES A GERMANIUM DETECTOR BY CANBERRA, ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE AND HIGHEST QUALITY DEVICES AVAILABLE.
SUCH FINDINGS COULD BANKRUPT CALIFORNIA GROWERS IF THE PUBLIC WAS COMPLETELY AWARE OF TEST RESULTS.
FLORIDA GRAPEFRUIT TESTED HIGH FOR CESIUM 137, BUT NOT THE FUKUSHIMA MARKER, CESIUM 134.
IN OREGON, THE STATE OFFICIALS THERE CLOSED SEVERAL FISHING SEASONS SIMPLY SO FISHERMEN WOULD NOT FIND OUT THAT THERE WERE ALMOST NO FISH ALIVE IN OREGON WATERS.
INCOMING STRONTIUM...SO OUR EPA TURNED OFF THEIR MONITORS.
An article by the Wall Street Journal (http://www.wsj.com/articles/radiation-sensors-in-major-u-s-cities-turned-off-because-they-dont-work-1445276241) shows us that, once Strontium began appearing at alarming levels in the U.S., something no one foresaw happening this soon, but something the EPA's BETA monitors picked up immediately, the EPA simply shut the monitors down.
At first they said the monitors were broken, then changed that to saying the move saved money for the EPA.
[FRIEND 'STOCK' HAS AN ARTICLE ON THAT <HERE>.]
BUT THE EPA HAD JUST SAID THE BETA MONITORS WERE WORKING JUST FINE AND WERE AN INVALUABLE ASSET TO INSURING AMERICAN HEALTH!
“We can confidently say that this system is fully capable now and fully operational now with the current monitors it has to detect fairly minute levels of radiation,” said Jonathan Edwards, director of the EPA’s radiation protection division.
That 2012 EPA report also said gamma monitoring wasn’t sufficient to deal with the threat from strontium-90, which could “cause large-scale public health impacts.”
WHY DIDN'T MAINSTREAM MEDIA REPORT ALL THIS?
PERHAPS THIS COMMENTER HAS THE RIGHT ANSWER:
On the Energy News website:
"Because even a slight warning about radiation levels on west coast could financially crush fishing, agriculture, real estate, and financial industries.
The EPA cannot release numbers until people have a chance to sell their holdings to unsuspecting purchasers and transfer their wealth to areas not at risk.
For those holding real estate, a radiation warning could impact or ruin property values and many people on the west coast have huge mortgages that an already overwhelmed market could devastate world banking system.
The banking industries have huge influence on the operation of agencies and media as well. Until more real estate is sold and the extremely wealthy get their investments shielded, there will be no improvement. Soon, the supreme court will begin allowing unlimited cash donations to remove any politician wishing to disclose this information."
EXACTLY!
BINGO!

AUGUST 4, 2012, TWO RAIN STORMS RESULTED IN 2 OF THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF RADIATION FOUND TO DATE IN AMERICAN CITIES (AS OF AUG. 2012).
A STORM NORTH OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI YIELDED LEVELS 11 TIMES NORMAL BACKGROUND, BUT WENT ON TO NORTH CAROLINA TO DROP EVEN MORE RAIN AND INCREASED RADIATION LEVELS THERE BY 91 TIMES NORMAL BACKGROUND.
12 STORMS IN HARRISBURG, PA, REGISTERED VERY "HOT", 12 TMES NORM.
EASTERN ONTARIO IN CANADA REGISTERED 13 TIMES NORM AFTER A RAINSTORM THERE IN JULY, 2012.
Radiation captured by HEPA filter air cleaning machines at Radiation Station Santa Monica doubled in a 52-day period, which ended August 1, 2011, over the previous period.
http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2012/03/california-slammed-with-fukushima-radiation.html
"Water samples from across the continent have tested positive for unsafe levels of radioactivity.
The levels exceeded federal drinking water thresholds, known as maximum contaminant levels, or MCL, by as much as 181 times.”
This means that the complete ecosystem of the Pacific Ocean is obviously poisoned with radiation and we aren’t being warned.
Samples of milk taken across the United States have shown radiation at levels UP TO 2,000 percent higher than EPA maximums.
The reason that milk is so significant is that it it representative of the entire food supply.
Washington Post, quoting Japan Times, Oct. 22, 2013:
"Japan’s effort to clean up what remains of the complex is turning into another kind of disaster.... 400 tons of toxic groundwater is flowing daily into the Pacific Ocean ... the flow of radioactive water amounts to a slow-burning environmental disaster with implications for Japan’s wildlife and its food chain.
The coastal Fukushima plant is on an old riverbed ... rainfall from across the region would funnel toward the plant ... Both the government and Tepco say the ocean contamination is confined mostly to a man-made harbor around the plant.
[THAT HARBOR MINGLES RIGHT INTO THE PACIFIC, IT IS NOT A SEPARATE BODY OF WATER AT ALL!]
But some scientists say that assurance plays down significant LONG-TERM concerns about marine life and the food chain.
Cesium levels are still hundreds of times the pre-accident norm in areas BEYOND the harbor, said Ken Buesseler [PERHAPS BEFORE HE SOLD OUT?] , a senior scientist with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution who has monitored waters around the nuclear plant, most recently last month... “It’s a serious concern for internal doses.
(Radionuclides) are now on the seafloor and could stay in the food chain for years, if not decades.”

Considering the mass animal die-offs of recent years, it would be irresponsible [IF NOT CRIMINAL?] not to test food products because something significant to human health is going on.
The rain falls, the grass grows, food animals eat the grass and the grains grown in soil contaminated by the rains and runoff, AND drink from ponds, lakes, rivers, streams, outdoor troughs.
Common sense tells us that can be a problem for the animals and for those who consume them.

EPA LIES AND PASSES THE BUCK...
"The EPA IN 2014 discontinued a part of its RadNet system that tested milk from dairies for radiation.
The agency said the task would be handled by the Food and Drug Administration, which for years has also had a milk-sampling program.
The agency can compensate for the lack of real-time beta data, officials said, by relying on each RadNet station’s gamma-radiation monitor, which hasn’t been affected by the interference.
[IS THERE SOME EPA MAGIC IN WHICH THE BETA RADIATION CAN BE CLOCKED BY THE GAMMA MONITORS, OR REPLACE IN SOME VOODOO-HOODOO WAY THE VERY BETA MONITORS THE EPA ONCE TOUTED AS "IMPERATIVE" TO MONITOR FUKUSHIMA STRONTIUM, ETC?]
Almost all radionuclides that emit beta particles also emit gamma radiation, they said.
Both types of radiation can cause cancer. "
LIKE FRIEND STOCK SAID: "True that, but if the EPA doesn't like the test results from the once or twice a week airfilter data, they just delete them", as they have been caught doing before.

JAPANESE AND AMERICAN ALLOWABLE RADIATION LEVELS IN MILK AND WATER DIFFER CONSIDERABLY, FOR NOW.
THE JAPANESE ALLOW LESS RADIATION IN MILK THAN IN WATER, AMERICA IS JUST THE OPPOSITE.
BUT EVEN ALLOWING LESS RADIATION FOR MILK, JAPAN STILL ALLOWS 90 TIMES MORE RADIATION IN ITS WATER SUPPLY THAN THE U.S. DOES.
THE U.S. ALLOWS 4 TIMES AS MUCH RADIATION IN MILK AS JAPAN ALLOWS.

FROM REUTERS, 10 DEC. 2015" A new University of California, Los Angeles study has found that in parts of California the rate of thyroid cancer patients with an advanced stage of the disease is well above the national average, prompting research into possible links to farming or radiation.
"There's definitely something going on here, but we're not sure what explains it," Harari said.
"To find the etiology of why its happening we need more research."
Harari said she was just beginning a second study that would examine potential links to farming, pesticides or radiation. Other studies have previously found some pesticides to be endocrine disruptors, she said, but none have established a link to cancer.
She said the counties with higher rates of advanced thyroid cancer could not be fully explained by socioeconomic factors or ethnicity, which are also known risk factors for advanced thyroid cancer. "
FROM INDEPENDENT TESTING LABS, THE TRUTH EMERGES:
You can also find these reports here “Radiation Food Lab” BUT it requires considerable clicking on links, page after page after page.
NOTE: A lot of food and environmental detection reports tend to concentrate on Cesium detection. This is because it is relatively easy to test for, and detect. If Cesium is present in a test result, there is a possibility that other types of radioactive isotopes are also present but not reported. Fallout is a dirty mixture of isotopes. It is not just Cesium. Some of the other isotope contaminants particularly the dangerous Alpha emitters, need more specialized and expensive equipment to detect their presence.

Canada Busted Covering Up Spikes In Fukushima Radiation
In 2011, investigative journalist Alex Roslin reported in the Georgia Straight that a Health Canada monitoring station in Sidney had detected radioactive iodine-131 levels up to 300 times normal background levels.
Similarly, the Nelson Daily reported in 2012:
The Green Party of Canada said despite public concern over fallout from the nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Health Canada failed to report higher than normal radioactive iodine levels in rainwater.
It has now been revealed that data were not released from a Calgary Health Canada monitoring station detecting levels of radioactive iodine in rainwater well above the Canadian guideline for drinking water.
This isotope was known to be released by the nuclear accident and also showed up in tests in Vancouver, Winnipeg and Ottawa. Lower levels of contamination resulted in a don’t-drink-rainwater advisory in Virginia.“In effect, Health Canada has not allowed Canadians to take any preventative steps to reduce our exposure to this radiation.”
DITTO FOR THE U.S.!
BUT WHY?
WHY HIDE THE FACTS, THE TRUTH?
NOVEMBER, 2015
RADIATION LEVELS IN MUSHROOMS ARE DOUBLE WHAT THEY WERE LAST YEAR.
The researcher comments "Cs-134/137 density was 828 Bq/Kg from the sample at the same location in 2013. It went up to 5,625 Bq/Kg in 2014, which shows the increasing density trend in mushroom."
WHICH SHOWS US WHAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO EXPECT.
HOW CAN IT BE HIGHER UNLESS THE INCOMING RADIATION IS ALSO HIGHER?
LOS ANGELES IS GETTING A "DOUBLE-WHAMMY" RIGHT NOW AFTER THAT METHANE GAS LEAK ELEVATED RADIATION LEVELS EVEN HIGHER THERE OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS.
INHALED?

Infant mortality rates across the United States have increased by more than 35% since the nuclear disaster, according to a court statement by an American physician with independent scientist Leuren Moret, MA, PhD.
A study published in The International Journal of Medicine indicates that more than 20,000 deaths right here in North America can be directly attributed to the release of radioactive material from Fukushima.

WE'VE SEEN TIME AND TIME AGAIN THE VIDEOS AND RESULTS OF SENSING DEVICES THAT SHOW THE STEADY RISE OF RADIATION FROM THAT JAPANESE NUCLEAR PLANT, AND THEY ADMIT THAT EVERY DAY, EVERY SINGLE DAY, FOR ALMOST FIVE YEARS NOW, THEY HAVE RELEASED TONS OF CONTAMINATED WATER INTO THE SURROUNDING AREA AND INTO THE PACIFIC OCEAN.
UNTIL SOME POWER FORCES JAPAN TO END THIS, OR STEPS IN AND ENDS IT FOR THEM, WE HAVE NO HOPE OF A BETTER WORLD.
How can we protect ourselves?
First, be aware of what items are likely to be highly tainted.
1.) SEAFOOD: Question the origin of ALL seafood. Fish and crustaceans from the Pacific Ocean should all be considered to be poisoned with radiation.
HOWEVER, NOW THAT THE U.S. CONGRESS HAS AGREED TO THE "NO LABELS ON FOOD FOR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN" , WE MAY NEVER AGAIN KNOW THE SOURCE.
18 NATIONS HAVE NOW EASED BANS ON FOODS FROM JAPAN, INCLUDING THE USA.
IN 2014, THIS:"One of the samples of the 37 black sea bream specimens caught some 37 kilometers south of the crippled power plant tested at 12,400 becquerels per kilogram of radioactive cesium, making it 124 times deadlier than the threshold considered safe for human consumption, Japan’s Fisheries Research Agency announced.
The record cesium reading was recorded last year when a fish caught near the plant carried 740,000 becquerels of cesium per kilogram."
THE COLUMBIA RIVER AND OTHERS NEAR THE OLD TOXIC HANFORD SITE HAVE SHOWN SIGNS OF RADIATION FOR DECADES.
BUT NOW OTHER RIVERS THAT FLOW INTO THE PACIFIC ARE SEEING MASS DIE-OFFS OF ALL SPECIES OF FOOD FISH.
WE SEE THE SAME, HOWEVER, IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION.
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
2.) WATER: The rainfall and snowfall are all radiated. The tap water that flows from your faucet has NOT been treated to rid it of radioactive particles.
BERKELEY WAS DOING A FAIR JOB OF HONEST REPORTING UNTIL THE EPA PULLED THEIR PLUG: A report from the NY Times stated, “A rooftop water monitoring program managed by UC Berkeley’s Department of Nuclear Engineering detected substantial spikes in rain-borne iodine-131 during torrential downpours …
AND THEN...SILENCE....
WE WHO ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE ARTESIAN WATER SOURCES OR DEEP PRIVATE WELLS MAY FARE THE BEST.
3.) DAIRY PRODUCTS: Milk and milk products from the West Coast states currently have the highest levels of radiation in North America. Wisconsin came in second for awhile.
Remember that the U.S. allows 1,567 times the radiation in milk as it does water.
4.) PRODUCE: Leafy Vegetables, Wines, Tomatoes, Strawberries….all produce from California or any other West Coast State are also likely to be the most tainted.
CALIFORNIA SUNFLOWERS ARE NOW "UNIFORMLY MUTATED" JUST AS THEY ARE IN JAPAN.
THAT SHOULD SHOW US WE NEED TO WATCH THE MOST SENSITIVE LIFE FORMS AND TAKE OUR WARNINGS FROM THEM.
5.) MEAT: If an animal eats any leafy vegetables or grass/grain grown all along the West Coast, that animal has consumed radiation. This is any animal from cows, pigs, goats, sheep to wild deer and other game.
'POTRBLOG' MONITORS BEEF AND IN 2012 WAS THE FIRST TO ANNOUNCE THAT FUKUSHIMA RADIATION WAS DETECTED IN MISSOURI BEEF.
https://youtu.be/FcVv-MnVvgY
If you eat the above foods from areas with high radiation levels, YOU ARE INGESTING radiation and feeding it to your families.
Slowly the radiation levels within your body will build up.
This is called 'bioaccumulation', which was often was addressed by the old Atomic Energy Commission and it is PERMANENT.
COMMON SENSE SAYS STAY AWAY FROM HIGHLY RADIATED PLACES, DO NOT TAKE A SWIM IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN, DO NOT GO FOR A CRUISE ACROSS THE PACIFIC.
LOOKING AT READINGS FROM ALASKA AND MASS DEATHS THERE, ONE MIGHT ALSO DECIDE ALASKA IS NOT A PREFERRED DESTINATION?
COLLINS MADE A VERY SIMPLE SUGGESTION THAT WOULD WORK LIKE A CHARM...TESTING HUMAN HAIR FOR RADIATION...A $200 TEST WHICH WOULD PROVE HOW MUCH RADIATION ALL OF US HAVE RECEIVED FROM FUKUSHIMA AND WHEN WE RECEIVED THE HIGHEST DOSES.
A READER ON NUKEPRO'S BLOGSITE SUGGESTED SENDING IN THE EPA FILTERS FROM OUR AUTOMOBILES TO THE EPA, BUT 'STOCK' REMINDED HIM THIS WOULD BE SENDING RADIOACTIVE FILTERS KNOWINGLY THROUGH THE MAIL.
WE CAN'T HAVE THAT, RIGHT?
THAT'S A FEDERAL CRIME...
AND FUKUSHIMA AND EVERY OTHER LEAKING WRECK OF A NUCLEAR REACTOR ALL CREATE CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY....LOOK WHO GETS AWAY WITH THAT!

AS A POSTSCRIPT, ALL WHO LIVE OR WORK NEAR THE BIG METHANE LEAK NEAR L.A., PLEASE HEED THE FOLLOWING:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Jan 8, 2016: Their animals are dying… their fish are dying in their fish bowls, their dogs are dying, their cats are getting sick. And their children are getting sick — they’re suffering nose bleeds, they’re suffering terrible debilitating migraine headaches, asthma attacks, respiratory infections, eye infections, ear infections, stomach ailments…
The health impact — it’s not just methane coming out of that hole… This is global crisis, more importantly this is a local crisis. Because not only do you have methane — you have benzene, toluene, xylene, which are carcinogenic. You have hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide — which are neurotoxic, which can injure your brain, affect memory, injure your kidneys, your liver, your other bodily organs. There’s also a lot of radon gas being measured in the area.
Doctors warn it is a NATIONAL DISASTER. Humans and Animals with strange infections...Leave LA Now! Very unusual infections being reported
Amazing aggregation of data here. Very saddened state we've created.
ReplyDeleteSad state. Auto correct tyranny.
ReplyDelete@Majia, delighted by your visit. The Tea Room would yield the entire blog to you, and Michael Collins, for the absolute wealth of information you both share with all of us. Have read both of you for quite a long time. MANY thanks for all you do. WRITE ON, WRITE ON!All the best.
ReplyDeleteLooking back over this entry, I can but plead my inability to technically correct how each blog seems to become a mass of oddly spaced, barely readable crap. I have fought the good fight for years against this Google blog thing and cannot adjust it to read as written. Seems the minute I hit "PUBLISH" all hell breaks loose and spaces and odd fonts appear. Edits FAIL. So, being technically challenged, apparently incapable of figuring out what the heck is wrong, I have decided to just say "screw it" and move on.
ReplyDeleteApologies won't fix it, but neither have countless hours banging my head against the Google brick wall. So, this is the future of this particular Google blog. I believe the term FUBAR originated in the military? It definitely applies here. Thanks for reading in spite of my ALL CAPS and technical ineptitude, everyone. ~~I;-)
The Tea Room has a new favorite in the "Top 10 Most Aware Websites"... a hat-tip to a "warrior woman", Laurie Rieman at https://plus.google.com/+LaurieFoutsRieman/posts. Give it a read...info times info and fearless.
ReplyDeleteDid my old ticker good to find that.
