This List Compiled by Kelly Ann Thomas
61 pages describing news aggregation on the death of the largest ocean on earth
Picture of poor little seal, crawling the streets of a city, with pneumonia, because there is no food in the ocean.
Scientists
are “baffled”, “befuddled”, concerned”, and “curious” about the die-off of the
Pacific Ocean. Almost no one mentions the F word, Fukushima. I put together a
list of links from Enenews.com thatshow a direct correlation between the
Fukushima and the die-off, even if scientists refuse to admit it. Every story
comes from a major publication. These stories have been out since the beginning
of themeltdowns. There is not one scientist studying this who does not have
access to this information. Either they chose to look the other way or they are
incompetent researchers who don’t really want to know thetruth.
There are a thousand links here, all in
chronological order. If you are pressed for time, skip to the back and read
backwards to see how bad it really is. I put this file together so that when
someone says proveit, at least there are 50 plus pages of links that prove that
Fukushima is killing the North Pacific Ocean.Humans are next.

US Department of
Energy lab in Pacific Northwest has “declined” to make nuclear fallout results
public,after initially
releasing data - April 6th, 2011
… Kai Vetter, UC Berkeley professor of nuclear
engineering [said] “Many people realize this is the only source of hard data
out there — which was a surprise to me.” …
It’s not that government agencies aren’t tracking
the spread of radioactive materials. But they have so far released very little
actual data on isotopes of concern to human health, including iodine-131
andcesium-137.
The
Washington Department of Health posts only gross radiation levels, with no
information on specific isotopes. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
which operates a nationwide network of air,rainwater and milk monitoring
stations, has released a few batches of data, including two results from
milktesting: a sample from Des Moines that showed no detectable radiation and
one from Spokane with traceamounts of iodine-131. Scientists from the
Department of Energy’s (DOE) Pacific Northwest NationalLaboratory (PNNL) in
Richland shared some of the initial data from ultrasensitive instruments
designed todetect fallout from nuclear tests, but have since declined to make
other results public. …
“If a university professor
and his students can collect samples and turn them around in a reasonableamount
of time and report it, you would think government officials could do the same,”
said RobertAlvarez, senior scholar at the liberal think tank Institute for
Policy Studies and a former DOE deputy assistant secretary for national
security. …

on radiation safety at the University of Tokyo.[...]
He
also blasted the government for what he said was a lack of transparency in
releasing radiation levels around the Fukushima Daiichi plant [...]

decision “staggering”, -May 5, 2011
The U.S. government has abandoned efforts to

in the wake of a nuclear catastrophe in Japan. [...]
“I
really am horrified,” said Daniel Hirsch, a nuclear policy lecturer at the
University of California, SantaCruz. “It’s quite staggering and it seems to be
part of the pattern of the EPA trying to make sure that thereare no measurements
that could cause people to be concerned.”
“The
agency will return to testing radiation levels in rainwater, drinking water and
milk every three months.The next such tests are planned in August.”

Japan ‘scared’
of telling truth to Fukushima evacuees - September 28th, 2011
[...] Matsumoto confirms the prime
minister at the time – Naoto Kan – also contemplated evacuating tens of
millions of people from in and around Tokyo. [...] “There was no clue about the
amount of radiation coming from the Fukushima plant or if it was spreading
over 100 or 200 kilometres.
“If that was the case, Tokyo would be in
danger. And prime minister Kan actually said that eastern Japanmight not be
able to keep functioning; that it might collapse.” Professor Matsumoto says in
the end, talk of tens of millions ["30 million people"] being
evacuated was
dismissed, with fears it would cause
mass panic and chaos worse than the nuclear crisis itself. [...]
