SAUDI ARABIA, CAPTAGON DRUG KINGDOM, HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS.

CAPTAGON...A powerful amphetamine tablet based on the original synthetic drug known as "fenethylline."

Captagon quickly produces a euphoric intensity in users, allowing fighters to stay up for days, killing with a numb, reckless abandon. 

"You can't sleep or even close your eyes, forget about it," said a Lebanese user, one of three who appeared on camera without their names for a BBC Arabic documentary that aired in September.

"And whatever you take to stop it, nothing can stop it."


"I felt like I own the world high," another user said. "Like I have power nobody has. A really nice feeling."


"There was no fear anymore after I took Captagon," a third man added.

BUT IT ISN'T JUST FIGHTERS, "DEATH SQUAD MEMBERS" WHO TAKE THIS DRUG.

SAUDI PRINCE BUSTED IN LEBANON SMUGGLING 2 TONS OF CAPTAGON AND BAGS OF COCAINE

On 26 October 2015, a member of the Saudi royal family, Prince Abdel Mohsen Bin Walid Bin Abdulaziz, and four others were detained in Beirut on charges of drug trafficking after airport security discovered two tons of Captagon (fenethylline) pills and some cocaine on a private jet scheduled to depart for the Saudi capital of Riyadh.
SEE: "Saudi Royal, Four Others Detained in Beirut Captagon Bust". NBC News.
AND
The prince was arrested and taken in for questioning along with four other people.

The Saudi embassy in Lebanon is exerting direct pressure on the Lebanese authorities over the involvement of one of its princes in a major drugs smuggling attempt.
Security Sources told Al-Manar that Saudi Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Fawwaz Al-Shaalan met Lebanese Interior Minister Nuhad al-Machnouk later on Monday.

The sources said that Riyadh is trying hard to exclude the prince from the trial process.

What was uncovered on Monday October 26, 2015 about the involvement of one of the grandsons of Abdul Aziz Al Saud (Abdul Mohsen bin Walid bin Abdul Mohsen bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud) completes a series of the regime scandals and its relationship with promoting drugs inside the kingdom.

The following month, Agence France Press reported that the Turkish authorities had seized 2 tons of Captagon during raids in the Hatay region on the Syrian border. 

The pills, almost 11 million of them, had been produced in Syria and were being shipped to countries in the Arab states of the Persian Gulf.

SEE: "Turkey seizes 11 million pills of 'Syria war drug': Reports". The Times of India (Istanbul).

The production and sale of fenethylline generates large revenues which are likely used to fund weapons, as well as combatants on both sides using the stimulant to keep them fighting.
CAPTAGON IS FREELY DISTRIBUTED TO WHAT IS CALLED "SAUDI DEATH SQUADS".


SEE:
"The tiny pill fueling Syria's war and turning fighters into superhuman soldiers". The Washington Post.

According to a Reuters report published in 2014, the war has turned Syria into a "major" amphetamines producer -- and consumer.


"Syrian government forces and rebel groups each say the other uses Captagon to endure protracted engagements without sleep, while clinicians say ordinary Syrians are increasingly experimenting with the pills, which sell for between $5 and $20," Reuters reported.

VOICE OF AMERICA notes that while Westerners have speculated that the drug is being used by Islamic State fighters, the biggest consumer has for years been Saudi Arabia.

In 2010, a third of the world's supply — about seven tons — ended up in Saudi Arabia, according to Reuters. VOA estimated that as many as 40,000 to 50,000 Saudis go through drug treatment each year.

SAUDI ARABIA TRULY IS THE CAPTAGON DRUG KINGDOM OF THE WORLD.

The famous story about the daughters of late Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz, Hala, Maha, Sahar and Jawaher, who are still imprisoned in his royal castles is not a new one. Many stories were written about the issue, and many interviews were conducted with their mother, Princess al-Anoud al-Fayez who is based in London.

"Saudi prisoners of conscience were detained at the psychiatric ward, injected with drugs and were subject to torture and humiliation," according to what Hala Abdullah Abdul Aziz Al Saud witnessed, as she had been working as a trainee in some of the mental disease centers.

The princess's objection on such a way of dealing with the prisoners made her a victim of the same way. She was injected with drugs and imprisoned before her health status deteriorated, and she was then isolated from her sisters.

"Servants in the castle tended to add drugs for my daughters Maha and Hala. Some of them couldn't make it, so they were fired. Others gave up on the order. Jawaher and Sahar demanded that the servants stay outside their residential place, so that the tragedy won't be repeated," said al-Anoud al-Fayez.

This is how Al Saud dealt with their own children... it is not surprising anymore that their princes are the ones flooding the country with drugs that would crush the Saudi people.

According to late UN statistics, the rate [of] drug addicts inside the kingdom hits 150 thousand persons.

Saudi Arabia is also the first among Gulf countries in the number of addicts whose ages of 70% of them range between 12 and 20 years.

Perhaps the dangerous issue is what had been shown recently in studies that 10% of the elementary level students (11 years old and less) are addicted to drugs, the percentage increases to 33% for intermediary level students (up to 15 years old), and 38% for secondary level students (up to 18 years old.)

Saudi Arabia is considered among the countries MOST addicted to Captagon.
The 2013 UN report on drugs in the world shows that one third of the overall quantity of Captagon that was confiscated in the world was in Saudi Arabia.

Thus, Captagon is the first on the list of drugs there. It was also described as "the excellent Saudi drug."

YEMEN THWARTS DRUG SMUGGLING BY SAUDI ARABIA

On Monday, May 21st of 2012, the first drug confiscation operation was registered in the Yemeni Sa'ada province. 

Huge drug quantities were taken to Saudi Arabia.
On that day, the Ansarullah Movement announced it spoiled the quantity after it frustrated the smuggling attempt. It was "a part of our responsibility in front of Allah since this dangerous issue is one of the damaging weapons the enemies of the nation are using in their war against our youth and children to destroy them, damage their values, and waste their abilities," according to the movement's statement on the time.

After the September 21st, 2014 revolution, Yemeni Security Forces and revolutionary committees succeeded in confiscating such operations.

"Controlling this smuggling phenomenon had a great impact on the Saudi policy towards Yemen," according to the sources.

This was confirmed by the Saudi Ministry of Interior on September 1st, 2015 when it announced that the rate of smuggling drugs from Yemen to Saudi Arabia decreased to 80%, relating this to the "positive results" of the aggression.

In a BBC documentary entitled "Captagon: Drug of the Syrian War," its producer, Lebanese journalist Radwan Mortada narrates from "Abu Souss" (a nickname for an important political opposition person who funds Captagon factories in Syria) that "selling the Saudis Captagon made him make a lot of money."

After the Syrian crisis, some of the Syrians tended to trade Captagon and promote it in exchange of money and weapons.
As a new phenomenon, many drug factories emerged in the middle and east of Syria.

International reports say that manufacturing Captagon flourishes in southeastern countries in Europe: Slovenia, Serbia and Bulgaria, and they are smuggled via Turkey to Syria and Jordan until they reach Saudi Arabia...

SHORTER ROUTE
Hence, smuggling drugs from Lebanon happens through the Al Saud Princes' private planes.. with a royal stamp [of approval].
The boost of manufacturing drugs in Syria is due to the Saudi money flooding this business. In Yemen, the kingdom's men and businessmen sponsor the smuggling operations, which damage the Saudis whether kids, youth or detainees.
Even the sons and daughters of the princes are not safe from drugs in case they didn't abide by the royal decisions inside the Al Saud castles.


BY SHARIA LAW, DRUG RUNNING IS PUNISHABLE BY BEHEADING.  
HOW DID THE SAUDI PRINCE ESCAPE CERTAIN DEATH?
BECAUSE HE'S A SAUDI PRINCE.

Beheading is legal today only in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Qatar and Yemen,
Amputation as legal punishment is still practiced in a number of countries, among them Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Islamic regions of Nigeria.
They were also common in Afghanistan under the Taliban.

Four men executed for possessing hash in Saudi Arabia

BUT NOT ONE IN THE SAUDI MONARCHY HAS BEEN EXECUTED FOR SIMILAR AND GREATER CRIMES!

THEY CAN DO MURDER, RAPE, DRUG RUNNING, TRADE IN HUMAN SLAVES, KEEP SEX SLAVES, DRINK ALCOHOL, SMOKE MARIJUANA, GAMBLE, COMMIT HOMOSEXUAL ACTS, ALL FORBIDDEN BY SHARIA LAW, ALL PUNISHABLE BY DEATH OR FLOGGING, AND YET THE MONARCHS GET OFF SCOT FREE.

BACK IN SEPTEMBER, 2015...

CNN: Saudi prince arrested, faces sex charge in Los Angeles
AND THEN, DAYS LATER... Saudi prince won't face felony charges in sex case - CNN.com

On November 25, 2007, a Saudi man was beheaded by sword for committing homicide.
His execution brought the country’s official number of beheadings [in 2007] to 151.
This number was a new record, standing in stark contrast to the 2006 total of 38 and far exceeding the previous record of 113 beheadings in 2000.

BUT THE SAUDI PRINCE FILMED BEATING HIS MANSERVANT TO DEATH?
NO BEHEADING SENTENCE.

Rape, murder, apostasy, armed robbery, and drug trafficking are among the many crimes punishable by beheading in the oil-rich kingdom.

SAUDI MONARCHS ARE GUILTY OF THESE EVERY DAY, BUT NO PUNISHMENT.


WHY DON'T THE PEOPLE OF SAUDI ARABIA SEE THIS AND DEMAND EQUAL JUSTICE?
FEAR...FEAR OF RETRIBUTION.  
In 13 countries around the world, all of them Muslim, people who openly espouse atheism or reject the official state religion of Islam face execution under the law

Death, often by public beheading, is the punishment for either blasphemy or apostasy - renouncing belief or switching to another religion... which is also protected under U.N. accords.

But this year's more comprehensive study showed six more nations allowing death sentence for that, bringing the full list to Afghanistan, Iran, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritania, Nigeria, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, United Arab Emirates and Yemen

UNDER SHARIA LAW, RAPE VICTIMS HAVE NO HOPE.

In Pakistan, it is reported that three out of four women in prison under its Hudud laws [these are the laws of what it forbidden and permitted by Allah himself], are rape victims.

Because rape is equated with zina [unlawful sexual intercourse] under Hudud law, rape victims are required to produce four pious male witnesses.
It is of course nearly impossible for the rape victims to produce the four male witnesses required to prove their allegation.

Therefore their police report of rape was taken as a confession of illicit sex on their part and they were duly found guilty

Majed Abdulaziz Al-Saud, 29, was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of forced oral copulation (oral sex) of an adult, Los Angeles police spokesman Drake Madison told The Washington Post.

Al-Saud was taken into custody and booked after 4 p.m., according to reports. He was released on Thursday afternoon.

Al-Saud posted a $300,000 bond Thursday and was released.

Los Angeles police Capt. Tina Nieto told the newspaper that authorities determined the prince does NOT have diplomatic immunity in the case — a protection other foreign nationals have recently tried to claim.

ALSO PUNISHABLE BY DEATH IN SAUDI ARABIA ...HOMOSEXUALITY...BUT NOT FOR ITS PRINCES WHO ENGAGE IN HOMOSEXUAL ACTS..

Gay Saudi prince who killed manservant to serve jail term at home.

A homosexual Saudi prince jailed for life in Britain for killing his manservant is to serve the rest of his sentence in his home country.

He told police that the victim had gained his injuries in an attack on a London street "weeks before", but the hotel's CCTV footage recorded the attack.

The judge had declared he had used Mr Abdulaziz, originally from Sudan, as a "human punch bag"

SO, LET'S GET THIS STRAIGHT, BRITAIN HAS MADE WIKILEAKS' FOUNDER JULIAN ASSANGE A PRISONER SANS TRIAL FOR YEARS AND WILL NOT LET HIM LEAVE BRITAIN DUE TO, THEY SAY, ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT IN ANOTHER COUNTRY, BUT BRITAIN ALLOWS A PROVEN MURDERER, A MAN FILMED DOING MURDER, TO GO HOME TO THE ARMS OF HIS SAUDI MONARCHY FAMILY, WHO WILL SURELY NOT THROW HIM IN SOME FILTHY PRISON WHERE OTHERS LIKE HIM ARE KEPT?

DOES BRITAIN ALWAYS SEND ITS CONVICTED MURDERERS BACK TO THEIR HOME COUNTRIES TO SERVE THEIR SENTENCES FOR MURDER?
NO.
THIS SAUDI PRINCE IS A SPECIAL CASE.

YEAH, THAT MAKES SENSE...NOT IN ANY WAY!.

VERY BAD MOVE, BRITISH JUDICIAL SYSTEM!
SHAME ON YOU!
WERE YOU 'MOTIVATED' BY YOUR MUSLIM IMMIGRANTS' VIEWS?
AFTER ALL.....
32% of British Muslim students support killing for Islam; 40% want Shari'ah Law.

67 percent, said they would continue acting in accordance with their religious beliefs if the Parliament passed a law that contradicted religious laws.
At least 85 Islamic sharia courts are operating in Britain, a study claimed yesterday. The astonishing figure is 17 times higher than previously accepted.


 THE PRINCE ARRESTED IN LAS ANGELES FOR FORCING ORAL COPULATION ALSO THREATENED TO KILL STAFF IF THEY REVEALED HIS HOMOSEXUAL ACTS..

All three of the women claim to have seen the royal having his penis 'stroked' by a male aide and say they were forced to stay in the room and watch as the encounter unfolded.

Homosexuality is illegal in Saudi Arabia, and punishable by flogging, or even execution.

Another says she was made to watch while a different male aide bent over and broke wind in Al Saud's face – apparently at his request. 

He also threatened to kill one of the women if she refused to 'party' with him and jumped on top of another and began rubbing himself against her in a 'sexual and aggressive manner'.

When asked to stop, Al Saud allegedly then yelled: 'I am a prince and I do what I want. You are nobody!'

THE PRINCE HAD USED COCAINE AND WAS ALSO VERY DRUNK, WITNESSES SAY.

The women then attempted to leave the mansion but discovered they had been locked in by Al Saud's aides and were told they were not allowed to leave.

It was then that the royal threatened to kill the third woman, telling her: 'You are going to go upstairs. I will be there in two minutes and you'll do whatever I want. If not, then I'll kill you.'

Al Saud then, it is alleged, became even more agitated and began to 'scream and make animal like sounds'.

At this point the women managed to leave the house but without their personal possessions – forcing them to return the following day.

[WHY DID THEY GO BACK FOR 'PERSONAL BELONGINGS WHEN THEIR LIVES WERE THREATENED? ]

Once there, they were told that Al Saud had 'slept off' the drugs and alcohol he had consumed and would not bother them anymore.

However, after telling aides they did not want to continue working for the prince, they were threatened with forfeiting their wages and were again locked inside the house on the grounds that the royal needed '24-hour service'.

When they did finally encounter the prince again, he was, say the women, being masturbated by another man who was 'stroking his penis'.

But when they attempted to leave the room, the 29-year-old spotted them and ordered them to stay and watch.

Felony charges against Al Saud were dropped by the Los Angeles District Attorney but prosecutors can now bring misdemeanor charges against him.

BAD, BAD MOVE L.A. LAW!!!
SHAME!
IT ISN'T THE FIRST FAILURE OF AMERICAN JUSTICE WHEN IT COMES TO HOUSE OF SAUD.   
In 2013, a Saudi princess named Meshael Alayban was arrested in Irvine, California on charges that she imprisoned and abused a Kenyan house servant. The L.A. Times said that the victim accused Alayan of imprisoning her and treating her as slave labor.


In 2010, a wealthy Saudi couple was accused of torturing a 49-year-old Sri Lankan maid by hammering 24 hot nails into her flesh when she complained about her workload.


SAUDI PRINCE'S CHRISTIAN PALESTINIAN WIFE DEPORTED, FILES SUIT IN GREAT BRITAIN.
23 Jan, 2016  
“His brothers were grooming him to become a king, and didn’t accept him having a Palestinian Christian wife. I was deported without his knowledge,” she told RT.

She has since successfully sued the late king's son, winning a historic UK High Court case.
The late king’s son has been ordered to pay Harb £12 million (US$17 million), according to a deal that was struck with the king before his death.

Harb told RT she has turned to the media in the hope that the Saudi royal family will face up to its duties.

“Every time you confront the Saudis, they tell you – instead of asking or finding the truth – ‘Oh! Maybe she was a prostitute, maybe she is a money digger’… Since he [the former king] didn’t take responsibility for his father’s reputation, he bears the blame himself.”

[THE EX-WIFE HAS SINCE BECOME A SCIENTOLOGIST, LEFT ISLAM BEHIND.]

Saudi Arabia is notorious for its strict interpretation of Sharia law, with alcohol and gambling banned and women not allowed to drive.

Women’s rights in the country have often been in the spotlight: a few months ago, a Saudi woman posted footage of her husband sexually abusing their maid.

However, it was the wife who was facing a year in jail in the end, due to the Saudi law on revenge videos.

SHE IS IN DANGER OF BEING STONED!

FROM AN IRANIAN REPORT:


Debauchery and vices in the Al Saud family will ruin the country

05 December 2014
[POT CALLING KETTLE BLACKENED MUCH?]
"The conscience of the rulers of Saudi Salafis killed tens of thousands of civilians, including women and children, the most vile and heinous methods - from cutting heads to public eating the internal organs while still being alive. That alone is enough to bring to the international court in The Hague the aged King Abdullah and his security forces led by Prince Bandar, the now former head of intelligence KSA, for crimes against humanity within the kingdom, as well as in the aforementioned Arab and Islamic countries, also for the genocide against the Shiites in Saudi Arabia, and the Sunnis, too. A good place to start would be to put all of them in a cage..."

KNOWN TO FUND TERRORISM.

[AGAIN, VERY HYPOCRITICAL OF IRAN, YES?]
"But [funding] terrorism - this is only part of the problem of the royal dynasty.

No less serious threat to its continued existence is an extreme moral decay of most members of the clan of Al Saud and the so-called princes, whose number exceeds 300 people.

...Sexual orgies representatives [in] Al Saud family should be added and other "entertainment" absolutely immoral plan.
And in the first place - is homosexuality (sodomy).

Not being a homosexual by nature, many Saudis satisfy their sexual lust with men as with women. And do it in a very distorted form, after reading the relevant literature published in the West.
It is clear that when he was a Bedouin goatherd and verblyudopasami, Al Saud  practiced [it?] in the absence of women. But now, when for their petrodollars they can buy almost all accessible and inaccessible beauties anywhere in the world, this is no way to justify the nitty-gritty of life of the shepherd in the Rub al-Khali.

For "active" gay-Saudis preferable, according to "experts" from within the Kingdom, European men, passive - blacks, Arabs or Pakistanis.

Another sin, which is subject to many "decent" royals KSA - is pedophilia, which thrives in "Prince" and "sheikhs" not as a natural defect from birth, but simply a moral perversion of satiety due to an excess of petrodollars."
...also in the course of bestiality, members of Al Saud dynasty.
Apparently, mating with animals - from dogs to sheep and camels, it is only for some "sheikhs" and "princes" a way to satisfy their sexual fantasies when sex with people already sick.
Looking for animals. Especially that the ancestors of Al Gardens, grazing goats in the desert, too, were doing.
But, they did it in the absence of other ways to have sex, and even 1500 years ago, when the Bedouins of Arabia morality were at the Stone Age.
This may partly explain the fact that the Saudi sponsors are not averse to finance armed extremist organizations, the gunmen who most brutally victimized prisoners, hostages and civilians.
Animals because animals prefer.

Against this background, drug and alcohol abuse among the total Al Saud seem childish.
Prohibiting the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages within the CSA, the royal family is the main controller of contraband alcohol in the amount of 3.4 billion. USD. Per year. After the oil - is the second largest source of income."

MAYBE MUCH IS LOST IN TRANSLATION OF THAT ARTICLE, BUT MORAL DECAY, SEXUAL PERVERSIONS, 'WESTERNIZATION', FUNDING TERRORISTS AND CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY FORM THE BASICS OF ITS CLAIMS AGAINST THE HOUSE OF SAUD.

IF IRAN WERE THE ONLY OTHER MUSLIM NATION TO MAKE THESE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST THE SAUDI MONARCHY, WE MIGHT DISMISS IT ENTIRELY, BUT MANY OTHERS HAVE LAID THE SAME CLAIMS AGAINST HOUSE OF SAUD.

A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH BRINGS UP MANY SUCH CLAIMS BY OTHERS.

A READ THROUGH ARREST REPORTS AROUND THE WORLD INVOLVING SAUDI MONARCHS ALSO SHOWS A CLEAR PATH TOWARD SCANDAL INSIDE THE OIL RICH KINGDOM.

THEY SAY POWER CORRUPTS AND ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY.

WHEN ANY NATION'S LEADERS ARE "TOO RICH TO PROSECUTE", TOO POWERFUL TO BRING TO JUSTICE, SOMETHING IS WRONG.

SOMETHING IS VERY, VERY WRONG WITHIN SAUDI ARABIA'S RULING FAMILY.

SAUDI CITIZENS DESERVE BETTER...DESERVE TO SEE JUSTICE METED OUT TO ALL, NO MATTER THE FAMILY GUILTY OF A CRIME.


SAUDI GRAND MUFTI, MARRIAGE WITH FEMALES "IN THE CRADLE" PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE.
01/02/2015 

"Saudi Arabia’s Grand Mufti, Sheikh Abdulaziz Al al-Sheikh, the kingdom’s top religious authority in the ultra-conservative Wahhabi school of Sunni Islam, has ruled it’s acceptable for men to marry girls so young the West would deem it nothing short of pedophilia and rape.
Despite the Saudi justice ministry’s failed efforts to date to set 15 as a minimum age to marry a girl in the kingdom, Grand Mufti Abdulaziz declared there is nothing prohibiting Muslim men from marrying girls even younger.

Grand Mufti Abdulzaiz’s more recent ruling on marrying young girls comes following a similar ruling in 2011 by Dr. Salih bin Fawzan, a prominent cleric and member of the Saudi’s highest religious council, who issued a fatwa, or religious edict, that there is no minimum age to marry girls, “even if they are in the cradle.”
Fawzan’s fatwa came from a similar edict in the Sharh Sahih al-Bukhari li Ibn Battal, which said the ulema, or Islamic scholars, agreed to permit fathers marry off their small daughters.
“The ulema have agreed that it is permissible for fathers to marry off their small daughters, even if they are in the cradle,” the edict declared."    

DID THE U.N. OR THE U.S. DISAGREE WITH THIS OR EVEN BRING THE TOPIC UP FOR DISCUSSION?

NO.

MUSN'T ANGER THE OIL KING, THE OIL PRINCES, THE OIL PROVIDERS.

THEN, THIS:

As WND recently reported, rich Saudi Arabian men – some associated with the Saudi royal family – have been purchasing for their sexual pleasure Syrian girls and young women from among the hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing the Syrian civil war conflict to Lebanon and Jordan.
Most of these Saudi men are said to be in their 60s and 70s. When they tire of the girls, they often hand them off to other men.
“They come into Lebanon and Jordan and go to the Syrian refugee camps where the Syrian families there have nothing,” one Lebanese source told WND. “The Saudis then offer $200 for girls aged 9 to 14 years and take them from their families. Because the families are so desperate for money, they give in to the temptation.”


The United States, allied with Saudi Arabia, has been silent on its treatment of young girls..
“Given the influence the United States has over Saudi Arabia, why hasn’t your president confronted the Saudis about this?” one source asked WND. “Sometimes, the girls are returned to their families, but they won’t have a future.”

ISN'T THE BOTTOM LINE THAT WE ALLOW SUCH THINGS WITHOUT PROSECUTION (OR EVEN WITHOUT DISAGREEMENT TO SPEAK OF) WHEN IT'S SAUDI ROYALTY DOING THESE THINGS?

BUYING SEX SLAVES, MARRYING BABIES, MURDERING SERVANTS ....
SURE, FINE, WHATEVER HOUSE OF SAUD WANTS...
SICKENS ME.

NUCLEAR REACTOR EVENTS REPORTS PAST WEEK. RADIATION SPIKES ILLINOIS.

HAVING CHECKED THIS IN SEVERAL WAYS, I CANNOT 100% VALIDATE THE "INCIDENT".
NO REPORT FOUND AT THE READING ROOM OF THE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION (NRC), BUT I TRUST THEM A LITTLE LESS THAN I DO POLITICIANS AND HAVE SEEN EVENTS TURN UP ANYWHERE FROM DAYS TO MONTHS THERE AT THE READING ROOM... AFTER THE ACTUAL EVENT WAS COVERED BY MAINSTREAM NEWS.


LENDING SOME CREDIBILITY TO THE REPORT, THIS:
"Just 39 out of 124 [EPA/RADNET] beta monitors were functioning as of November 23. That number has plunged to 31 as of December 2.
 
[31 BETA MONITORS, ALPHA, GAMMA, WHICH TYPES?
ONLY GAMMA MONITORS, AND ONLY 31 OF THOSE ARE WORKING, 31 FOR ALL OF AMERICA...NOT EVEN ONE PER STATE!]]

That means just 25 percent of America’s front line detection defense against man-made radiation actually functions.

Taxpayer dollars are being wasted on a system that defies other government contracted networks for most bungled results.

While the EPA has repeatedly shown that it has discounted the effects of airborne radiation, such as EnviroReporter.com reported in EPA Nukes Radiation Rules in July 2013, it does not diminish the toxicity of the radiation involved." 

SO, NO, THE EPA ISN'T TROUBLING ITSELF TO REPAIR ANY MONITORS, REPLACE ANY, AND SURELY IS NOT GOING TO ADD ANY.

EPA SHOULD DROP THAT "P" FOR 'PROTECTION', BECAUSE IT DOESN'T PROTECT MUCH BESIDES THE BIG CORPORATIONS WHO POLLUTE THE MOST... OR MAYBE CHANGE ITS NAME TO "WE REALLY SUCK"?


THE OLD PALISADES UNIT 1 NUCLEAR REACTOR IN MICHIGAN POSTED AN INCIDENT ON THE 24th OF MARCH.

"CONTROL ROOM VENTILATION DECLARED INOPERABLE

~Event Number: 51820
03/24/2016  
At approximately 0211 [EDT], on March 24, 2016, both control room ventilation filtration trains were declared inoperable in accordance with Technical Specification 3.7.10, Condition B, due to a control room boundary door not being fully closed. Following routine security rounds, the door was unable to be fully closed due to the door's locking bolts not retracting back into the door body, causing interference between the door and door frame.

"Mitigating actions have been implemented that ensure control room envelope (CRE) occupant radiological exposures will not exceed limits, and CRE occupants are protected from chemical and smoke hazards. Repairs to the door are currently in progress."

THAT'S QUITE A CLIMB IN JUST 20 MINUTES!

11:00AM

CHART SHOWS THE 3 BIG SPIKES...

"Radiation levels in St. Charles, IL are more than ten times higher than "typical" today and are still rising suddenly according to Geiger counters from the Nuclear Emergency Tracking Center.   Levels of Gamma radiation are presently at 459 Counts-Per-Minute (CPM) which is more than ten times higher than the "typical" of 42 CPM.  

Just yesterday, levels skyrocketed to 1092 CPM, which is twenty-six times higher than "typical" and quite dangerous to be exposed to all day.


This is the THIRD time in seven days that radiation levels in this suburb of Chicago have suddenly spiked, far above the "typical" level into what many nuclear professionals call "dangerous" exposure.

 As of 12:30 PM EDT, Geiger counters are showing a dramatic drop in radiation levels, down to a  "safe" level of 239 CPM and continuing to drop.


WHO CAN SAY IF THE EPA's RADNET MONITORS ARE CORRECT?
I DOUBT THEY'VE CHECKED THEM YET THIS YEAR.

I HOPE YOU WILL THINK ABOUT THE FOLLOWING FOR A BIT....
IT'S A REPORT ON THE NRC's WEBSITE ABOUT A MISSING TRITIUM EXIT SIGN.

YES, ONE OF THOSE "GLOW-IN-THE-DARK" EXIT SIGNS.

UNDERSTAND THAT THIS HAD TO BE REPORTED TO THE NRC.
IT HAD TO BE REPORTED.

IF NUCLEAR ENERGY, IF RADIATION IS SO SAFE, WHY DO THEY HAVE TO REPORT A SMALL MISSING SIGN WITH THAT "LOW LEVEL", "TEENY AMOUNT" OF TRITIUM IN IT?

~ Event Number: 51781  
Notification Date: 03/09/2016
Licensee: NRG ENERGY SERVICES
City: NEW FLORENCE State: PA

The following report was received from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania via email and facsimile:

"Event Type: Loss of licensed material in a quantity greater than or equal to 1000 times the Appendix C quantities in part 20.

"Notifications: NRG Energy discovered the event on March 7, 2016, [at their Seward, PA location,] and submitted a report to the Department [Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection] on March 9, 2016. This event is reportable as per 10 CFR 20.2201(a)(1)(i).

"Event Description:
On Monday March 7, 2016, while conducting the six month inventory check of the radioactive sources at the Seward Power Plant, one tritium exit sign was found missing. The exit sign was installed above a door located in Seward's Fuel Barn.

The last inventory check was conducted September 11, 2015, and the exit sign was present at that time. The exit sign was manufactured by EMERG-LITE and was an Everlite series sign.

[ANYBODY WHO WANTED TO REMOVE ANYTHING FROM THERE WOULD HAVE 6 LONG MONTHS TO MAKE A GETAWAY, RIGHT? NOBODY WOULD MISS ANYTHING FOR 6 MONTHS.]
The sign contained between 9.5 - 11.5 Ci of tritium gas at the time of manufacture and was to be replaced before February 2023. The sign was last known to be in good condition and not damaged. No cause for the missing sign has been identified and no exposures have been recorded at this time.

"Cause of the Event: Unknown at this time. The plant is currently searching the site and conducting interviews with personnel.

"Actions: The Department will be following up with the facility for any additional information. The plant is also conducting refresher radiation training to plant personnel. More information will be provided upon receipt."

Pennsylvania Event Report ID No: PA160009.

THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "LESS THAN CAT 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL.

NOW, READ ABOUT "LESS THAN CATEGORY 3"

"Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury.

Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks.

NICE WORDING, YES?
KEEPS THEIR BUTTS OUT OF THE PROVERBIAL SLING WHILE NOT SAYING OUTRIGHT THAT "LOW LEVEL" RADIATION IS DANGEROUS.

A SMALL EXIT SIGN...AND THEY'RE SCRAMBLING TO FIND IT, AND MAKING A REPORT TO THE NRC.

LIKE I SAID, THINK ABOUT THAT.

THEN THINK ABOUT THIS ONE, WITH SUPPOSEDLY EVEN LOWER "LOW LEVELS", BUT LOW LEVELS BUILT UP AND UP OVER TIME:
After Glow - 90 Years Ago Workers At The Waterbury Clock Company Began Dying After Painting Radium On Clock Dials.

"Many of the women pressed their brushes between their lips before dipping them in the radium-laced paint to give their small brushes a nice, fine point.
The gritty-textured paint tasted no worse than Elmer’s glue, but it had a strange effect: It made their mouths glow in the dark.  

More than 40 dial painters died in Ottawa, Illinois.


“The suffering and deaths of these workers greatly increased the world’s knowledge of the hazards of radioactivity, ultimately saving countless lives of future generations, “ writes Ross Mullner, Author of “Deadly Glow”.

 MORE THAN 40 DIED, BUT THE EPA ISN'T CONCERNED ABOUT RADIATION IN/NEAR THOSE BUILDINGS, NO SIREE!

"The radium contamination doesn’t pose an immediate public health threat, like, say, benzene gas billowing into the air, or mercury leaching into the groundwater, so the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rejected these old factories as Superfund sites."

Power Reactor
LIMERICK   ( in Pennsylvania)
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION (TS) REQUIRED SHUTDOWN DUE TO PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE

"During a planned Unit 1 shutdown for a refueling outage, a 0.5 gpm 'pressure boundary leak' was identified on a 1 inch pipe connected to the '1A' RHR-Shutdown Cooling return line by the drywell leak inspection team during a drywell inspection at approximately 15% power. 

The leak exceeded the TS 3.4.3.2 'Operational Leakage' LCO of no pressure boundary leakage. TS action 'a' was entered which requires to be in at least Hot Shutdown within 12 hours and Cold Shutdown within the next 24 hours. Therefore, the event is reportable within 4 hours per 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(i) due to the initiation of a plant shutdown required by the plant's TS.

"The event is also reportable within 8 hours per 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(ii) due to an event that resulted in the condition of the nuclear power plant, including its principal safety barriers, being seriously degraded.

"TS 1.28 defines Pressure Boundary Leakage as leakage through a nonisolable fault in a reactor coolant system component body, pipe wall or vessel wall; therefore, the leak is a 'pressure boundary leak' as defined in TS."

DEGRADED CONDITION

[REALLY? YA' THINK?]

UNANALYZED CONDITION THAT COULD CHALLENGE RHR EQUIPMENT DURING FLOOD CONDITIONS

(2"Two ) potentially degraded flood barriers at penetrations 0073-01-0034 and 0073-01-0063 were identified in the area between the Unit 1 Turbine Building and Auxiliary Building. The deficient barriers are a 'blockout section' of the floor designed to house multiple penetrations that transition from the Turbine Building to the Auxiliary Building. Attempts have been made to investigate the status of the flood barrier with no definitive results. Investigations and additional evaluations are continuing, however, it is currently unknown if the aggregate of these two flood barriers could potentially overwhelm and flood the Auxiliary Building which would challenge equipment necessary to remove residual heat and constitute an unanalyzed condition.

"Based on current conditions (i.e., no forecast flooding conditions), this condition does not present an immediate safety concern.

"This condition has been determined to be reportable per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B) and 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(B). This condition is a non-emergency condition. This condition has been entered into the Corrective Action Program.

"Compensatory measures have been prepared to allow placement of a seal over the identified deficient barriers. If required these seals can be installed well in advance of forecast flood conditions. Permanent repairs are currently being designed for installation."

ACCIDENT MITIGATION

LOSS OF EMERGENCY AND AUXILIARY GAS TREATMENT SYSTEMS
"On March 17, 2016, at 0115 [EDT], Watts Bar Unit 1 (WBN1) entered Technical Specification Limiting Condition of Operation (TS LCO) 3.0.3 due to the inoperability of both trains of the Emergency Gas Treatment System (EGTS). TS LCO 3.7.12

Condition B was also entered at this time due to the inoperability of both trains of the Auxiliary Gas Treatment System (ABGTS).

The train B EGTS and train B ABGTS had been removed from service for scheduled maintenance, when at 0115, the train A Auxiliary Air Compressor became inoperable.

On March 17, 2016, at 0133, the train A Auxiliary Air Compressor was declared OPERABLE, and TS LCO 3.0.3 and 3.7.12 Condition B were exited.
"The auxiliary air system supports the EGTS by providing a safety grade air supply. When train A auxiliary air became inoperable, the supported train A EGTS and ABGTS became inoperable, creating a condition where both trains of EGTS and ABGTS were unavailable.

~GRAND GULF NUCLEAR REACTOR UNIT 1
State: MISSISSIPPI
Event Number: 51800
Notification Date: 03/17/2016

VALID ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURE SYSTEM ACTUATION DUE TO LIGHTNING STRIKE
"At 1515 [CDT] on March 17th 2016, Grand Gulf Nuclear Station received a valid actuation signal of the Division 2 Engineered Safety Feature (ESF) Load Shedding and Sequencing system. The actuation signal was most likely caused by a lightning strike to the offsite power source supplying this ESF bus. This caused a loss of the in service shutdown cooling system and associated system actuations.
"Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS) was in Mode 5 at 85 [degrees] F coolant temperature. Reactor Cavity was flooded to High Water Level with a time to reach 200 [degrees] F of 7.5hrs.
GGNS is conducting a planned refuel outage with core alterations in progress. Systems were aligned as follows:
"Division 2 Diesel Generator was OPERABLE and the associated ESF bus aligned to transformer ESF12 (115KV Port Gibson offsite feeder). Residual Heat Removal (RHR) system 'B' was in service in shutdown cooling being supplied from this ESF bus (16AB) with Alternate Decay Heat Removal available as a backup.
"Division 3 Diesel Generator was unavailable due to planned maintenance on support systems. The associated ESF bus was also aligned to transformer ESF12 (115KV Port Gibson offsite feeder).
"Division 1 Diesel Generator was available and the associated ESF bus aligned to the transformer ESF 11 (Switchyard offsite power feeders Baxter-Wilson and Franklin). Power was never lost to this bus. RHR 'A' and Low Pressure Core Spray (LPCS) were not available due to planned maintenance (tagged out of service).
"ESF 21 Transformer was out of service for planned maintenance.
"A suspected lightning strike caused a momentary perturbation in power in the 115KV Port Gibson line causing the Division 2 Load Shedding and Sequencing (LSS) system to actuate. This actuation caused a loss of Residual Heat Removal system 'B' due to being shed (expected). The Division 2 Diesel Generator started and tied onto the bus as expected, restoring power in 7 seconds. Shutdown cooling was restored at 1518 [CDT] and was out of service for 3 mins 13 sec. Reactor coolant and spent fuel pool temperatures remained at 85 [degrees] F throughout this scenario. Core Alterations were suspended and fuel placed in its designated location per the approved movement plan. Division 3 systems; High Pressure Core Spray, Standby Service Water System 'C', and Division 3 Diesel Generator were tagged out of service for planned maintenance. Division 3 Diesel Generator received a valid actuation signal but did not start due to being out of service.
The Division 3 bus was restored manually to ESF 11.
"All safety systems operated as expected for the loss of power to ESF 12 and Division 2 LSS actuation. "

WAY TO GO, BOYS!
GOOD JOB!

(YOU'RE OKAY, TONY, BUT KEEP GAS IN THAT CAR!)

TO WRAP THIS UP, BELOW IS THE MOSTLY WORTHLESS EPA's 'RADNET' CHART THAT SHOWS THEIR TAKE ON THE CHICAGO AREA SPIKES, IN GAMMA GROSS COUNT ONLY.

LET'S NOT FORGET...
St. Charles, Illinois, is NEAR Chicago, NOT IN CHICAGO.

AND LET'S ALSO REMEMBER THAT THE EPA WAS DAMNED BY THE INSPECTOR GENERAL AND THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA IN OCTOBER 2015 BECAUSE ITS BETA MONITORS WERE NOT WORKING IN CHICAGO AND OTHER MAJOR CITIES, SO WHAT GOOD IS THAT CHART...IS MEASURING GAMMA ENOUGH?WALL STREET JOURNAL
Oct. 19, 2015
"A national radiation-monitoring system enhanced after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks isn’t working as intended, with nearly three-quarters of stations not checking for a type of radiation in real time, including ones in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles."


EPA officials said the beta-detection problem cropped up in 2006 when they started putting the real-time monitors into the field.

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.

Almost all radionuclides that emit beta particles also emit gamma radiation, they said. Both types of radiation can cause cancer.

ALMOST ALL?
IS THE EPA FAKING DATA LIKE JAPAN HAS DONE AND BEEN CAUGHT DOING AT FUKUSHIMA?
