Jebus, it comes down to this; 'for reasons only partly understood,
nuclear fallout is far more toxic to the living environment than
previously thought' That's it in a nutshell
The fallout doesn't seem to disperse to a level of non toxicity, as is
commonly believed. Biological response seems to linger even after an
element has decayed to very low levels, for reasons science has not
adequately examined. It is known that animals can re-concentrate
radioactive and non radioactive elements thousands and even millions of
times, but science does not apply this knowledge adequately to risk
factors.
The in-use risk model is outdated and should be replaced immediately.
It was invented before the discovery of DNA and is an antiquated model
based on false assumptions and faulty data. The newer models show that
man made radioactive elements are 10 to thousands of times more toxic
than assumed. These new models will also be outdated someday and its
likely that many elements will be revealed as even more toxic.

This Yale author, Elizabeth Grossman, with some Title shown at the right, seems to be "on topic". I sent her the "Chitin research" and will see if that gets any traction.
The creatures that are hardest hit in the last few years either rely havily on chitin in their own life, or rely on eating creatures that use chitin. chitin bio-magnifies radiation in water/air. Radiation is one of the few things that destroys chitin.
Yes, this is the smoking gun

as far as man made k-40, we have stocks position as of last year. http://nukeprofessional.blogspot.com/2015/09/wrap-up-on-radioactive-potassium-k40.html
Dr Goodhearts article on this extrapolates from different sources but misses the actual science, the timing and physics of neutron absorption and actual yields. Some of the potassium isotopes that can be created have short half lives and thus dont contribute to the background level. Paveway was quite outspoken that man has not contributed measurably to the background. Paveway appears to be high level in physics
carbon 14 is another issue and its rather shocking to realize how much carbon14 was added from the bomb test era.
Man, with his relatively (compared to background) small addition of radioactive elements has made the earth a hell for the animal kingdom in just a few short generations.
Kansai Electric Power Co. fell by the most in more than 28 years, leading Japanese utilities lower after a court injunction prevented the company from operating two nuclear reactors, threatening the country’s return to atomic power five years after the Fukushima disaster.
Kansai Electric, Japan’s second-largest power utility, closed down 15 percent at 1,047 yen in Tokyo on Thursday, the biggest drop since October 1987. The 20-member Topix Electronic Power & Gas Index slumped 3.1 percent, compared with a 1.5 percent rise in the broader index.
The Otsu District Court cited safety concerns in issuing the injunction Wednesday in a decision that applies to the plant’s No. 3 and No. 4 reactors at its Takahama plant, according to court documents. The utility said it will begin shutting its No. 3 unit on Thursday.
The ruling is a setback for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who has backed the return of atomic power after the 2011 Fukushima disaster led to the shutdown of the country’s entire nuclear fleet. Kansai resumed operations at its Takahama No. 3 unit in January and the No. 4 unit in February before the latter was placed in cold shutdown on March 2 after an alarm.
This is big folks, the biggest story perhaps. Could be a first. Court orders nuke plant to shut down and they comply.
Is this a model for USA to get them shut down?
And finally, they come out and admit that there will be additional cancers in Japan due to Fukushima. Then they minimize at 10,000. It's probably 10,000,000, one thousands times higher.
Skip the first 20 minutes, its all just pre-meeting chatter.
Caldicott makes some extremely strong statements, but the rest is BS Sheeple
penny at ENE summed it up nicely
I watched it yesterday, no problem; when i looked for it today it told
me the site was not secure. If you watch, skip the first 20 minutes or
so, most of which are crowd noise and the titles. And if you watch to
the end, prepare to be sickened by the crowd itself, as it claps
politely for the gov't reps who tell them everything is under control,
they can apply for compensation for their deceased loved ones through
the proper channels, and there will be a peer-reviewed epidemiological
study done (to be filed away with the 1000's of others) whilst they die.
The only outrage came from Caldicott herself, and one woman who has
stage 4 lung cancer. She got a standing ovation, as if that made
everything okay…
This shows it clearly. A known nuclear plant risk, with a simple fix, and the NRC decides to "do nothing" in fact rejecting multiple attempts from engineers within the NRC to push for the required safety upgrades.
The NRC itself claims the risk to be just 1E-4 (using confusion at every chance to get people to turn off their brains). 1E-4 risk of a meltdown per reactor year. Now what does that really mean?
Well let the NukePro shed some light with clarifying numbers.
If we trust the NRC's own numbers, that means 1 in 10,000 chance of a meltdown per reactor year. We know the NRC has been low balling risk for decades. Even in 1990, after TMI they pegged the risk of a reactor meltdown in USA at 1 in 1,000,000, when in fact there have been 5 meltdowns in the world with 440 nuclear plants, so the risk is greater than 1 in 100.
Now lets get back to the calcs. There are about 100 reactors in the USA, so that means every year there is 100 reactor years. So 1/10,000 times 100 = 1/100 chance of a reactor meltdown per year.
This means in 10 years, there is a one in 10 chance of a meltdown in the USA. Again, that is if we trust the NRC low-ball numbers.
The cost of a meltdown can vary, but lets put a range of 100B to 800B.
Lets say the safety fix at the plants is $10M each. A total of 1 Billion.
In 10 years the chance of a meltdown is 1/10, and the cost is 100B to 800B, so the "Expected Value" is 10B to 80B in a 10 year period.
This would be a VERY smart bet to implement the safety features. Yet the NRC refuses to put this cost onto the dying nuclear industry. Clearly they do not have our best interests at heart.
The "NRC Seven" have been unable to get the NRC to take effective safety action, and are so frustrated that they have gone outside the NRC to file a petition.
I can imagine their future promotions will be greatly curtailed, but good on them!

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Seven electrical engineers who work for the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission have taken the unusual step of petitioning
the NRC as private citizens in hopes of compelling regulators to fix a
"significant safety concern'' that affects all but one of the nation's
100 nuclear plants.
The petition filed this week by the NRC Seven,
as some call them, is similar to what anti-nuclear activists or other
outside watchdog groups would file to raise a concern with the NRC.
The engineers say there is a design flaw in the electric power
systems of all but one of the 100 U.S. nuclear plants. The flaw prevents
the detection of certain disruptions on power lines connected to the
plants. If a degraded power line were called into service during an
emergency, the reactor's motors, pumps and valves could burn out,
preventing a safe shutdown.
No such catastrophe has occurred. But since discovering the flaw in
2012, NRC staff have looked back and identified 13 events since 2002
when an undetected electrical fault could have resulted in serious
problems during an emergency plant shutdown, the employee petition said.

Genetic study of high background radiation regions/India – 1990
(April 27, 1990) The US National Academy of Sciences recently revised
the risk estimate for radiation induced cancer which is now 10 to 14
times higher than their 1980 estimate (see WISE News Communique
326/7.3261). The new estimate is based on recent reanalysis of data on
bomb survivors and the studies of medically irradiated persons conducted
by Dr. Alice Stewart and others.
"What," they ask, "will be the effect of an increase in radiation
exposure due to nuclear power and other human-made sources on the health
and well being of future generations? How many more unfinished children
(known as Downs syndrome caused due to an extra two chromosomes) will
be born if Kaiga and Koodamkulan (nuclear plants being built in India)
start functioning?" http://www.wiseinternational.org/nuclear-monitor/331/genetic-study-high-background-radiation-regionsindia
The center says a near accurate answer to that question would
already be available had the nuclear research establishment conducted a
recommended detailed health study among the people living in higher
natural background radiation regions (HBRRs) in Kerala and Tamil Nadu,
India. Due to the presence of thorium and uranium, the background
radiation in the fishing villages of Neendakara, Chavara, Ponmana and
Alappat in Kollam and all the coastal villages in the Kanyakumari
district is very high. People have been living in these HBRRs for
several generations. Considering the uniqueness of these people, the
World Health Organization had, in 1957, recommended that such a study be
conducted there. However, the nuclear energy researth establishment
instead went to the extent of preventing or dissuading researchers from
civil medical research establishments such as the All India Institute of
Medical Sciences and the Medical College Trivandrum from conducting it.
So, now, the center has taken on the task.
So far, the center has completed a survey in the Kerala and Tamil Nadu HBRRs, details of which are summarized below:
…
Between 18 and 25 February of this year the center's international
advisory board met and discussed the findings. The preliminary results
show that the prevalence of Down's syndrome in the radiation exposed
population is three times higher than that of the control population.
There is a significant deviation from an earlier study showing no cases
of Down's syndrome in the control area (population 6,000). There was a
statistically significant difference In the prevalence of mental
retardation, epilepsy, cleft lip and palate, etc. A few extremely rare
genetic disorders have also been observed. A further disturbing finding
is the higher number of childless couples in the HBRR.
The advisory board meeting, chaired by Dr. Rosalie Bertell of the
International Institute of Concern for Public Health in Canada, decided
to do a finer analysis of over 96,000 pregnancies of 18,000 mothers from
both the regions. The parish data needs also to be analyzed to see if
there is any difference In sex ratio at birth and sex-wise age at death
in the study and control population. These should be completed during
the next few months. In the meantime, the preliminary findings are
available from the address below. http://www.wiseinternational.org/nuclear-monitor/331/genetic-study-high-background-radiation-regionsindia

Invisible Epidemic: Thyroid Cancer in the US
Feb 2016
The highest rates of thyroid cancer in the United States, according to
federal statistics, are found in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York,
states with the densest concentration of reactors in the nation. In a
study conducted in 2009, one of this article’s authors (Janette Sherman)
found the highest rates of thyroid cancer occurring within 90-mile
radiuses of the 16 nuclear power plants (13 still operating) in those
states.

2016 DV1 is an Apollo class asteroid discovered on February 28, 2016.
Its estimated size is between 28 and 62 meters (92 to 203 feet), which
is about twice the size of Chelyabinsk asteroid.
2016 DV1 is traveling at a relative velocity of 18.08 km/s and at the
moment of closest approach – 05:17 UTC on March 3 – it is expected to
fly by us at about 1 LD (lunar distance). That's about 384 400 km (238
900 miles) above Earth's surface.
The orbit of this object is very uncertain. According to observations
made on March 1, its MPC "U" parameter is 7 out of 9 (with 9 being
highly uncertain)

Look at that wave amplification bay and center pivot rock? Do you think they figured out why the bay is scooped out as it is? Because that center rock amplifies the waves as they recombine on the backside. Duh!

This troll, who trolls me relentlessly, across the web, states the following as the entire mechanism for damage by radio-isotopes.
There is no damage without energy deposition and the entire established radiation protection community uses this model. All damage is only related to energy deposition/kg. REAL pros understand this maxim and it's taught in universities all over
the world. Your alternative science has no purpose in professional
radiation protection practice.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
So to set the troll straight, I responded, with facts.
Your definitions and practice of radiation is wrong. Out of the gate. You are blinded by what you were told is science, and by your arrogance, and the ego's need to make a human feel like they are a "good person" even as they are doing bad things, aka denial.
It IS NOT "just" energy deposition per kG.
Damage due to radiation, and radioactive heavy metals is dependent on many things:
1) Whether the substance is natural or manmade, i.e. have we "grown up with it" for millions of years.
2) Not just the energy per kG, but
2a) where the energy is delivered
2b) how often energy is delivered in a particular area
2c) how strong that energy is
3)
What organ(s) or fleshes are being targeted. ALL of them, and as how they work together. The
current nuclear cartel pretends that everything can be calculated based
only upon (1) One "Critical Organ". The Japanese would say
"Bakarashii!" 4) Some don't develop a cancer or disease, some
just weaken an organism, and provide an opening for other viruses,
bacteria, fungal, or other disease to attack elsewhere in the organism.
5) Combinations of different radionuclides can also have a negatively synergistic effect on the organism.
6)
Bio-accumulation into certain organ or organic structures can also be a
major factor in radiation damage. One specific item to mention is
"chitin" which both bioaccumulates radiation and heavy metals, and
radiation is one of the few things that can damage chitin.
FURTHER---
7) The damage is also highly dependent upon individual differences.
8) The damage is also dependent upon age, sex, and race
9) The damage can be shown as a chart, but the chart has 2 big problems, neither the X axis nor the Y axis can be fully defined, and the chart will be different for each individual, the age of the individual, and the isotopes involved.
9a) The Y axis is usually shown by the radiation cartel as the increased chance of getting cancer. Or sometimes as the increased chance of getting killed by cancer directly attributed to the radiation. But it really needs to be defined as "Total damage to the organism". And it should be obvious that, that is not an easy determination to make.
9b) The X Axis is usually labelled as mSv (milli-Sieverts) in which the INCREDULOUS assumption is made that all of the items in 1) through 8) above have been properly crunched into one nice little number called usually "Effective Delivered Dose". Note the use of "Delivered" which goes back to the basic lie "energy deposited" as if it were a one time event and could ignore all the other factors I detail above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because there are large individual differences in reaction to radiation, it cannot be said that what is good for the gander is good for any particular goose. What one particular individual, probably healthy, may tolerate quite well, may be a painful and costly death sentence for another person.
Having the arrogance to then state what is a safe level of radiation, is really just the willingness to be a murderer. Nukists are murderers.

Mechanism By Which Radiation Destroys "Chitin" Which Destroys The Ocean Food Chains and Bees
Many "critters" on the low end of the food chain rely upon "chitin"
an amazing organic chain molecule with structural properties, optical
properties, and even the ability to function as a sensory device for
various electro-magnetic energies.
But what is most interesting to me, is that chitin is a particularly
effective bio-concentrator for man made radiation and heavy metals.
Chitin is particularly strong with its chemical bonds, most acids
cannot destroy chitin. But radiation is also VERY good at destroying the
chitin bonds, thus destroying the chitin.
So radiation is destroying the basis of the ocean food chain.
Curiously enough, bees and butterflies also use chitin in their
structures and functional features. Damage to chitin exoskeletons makes
it easier for parasites to get in, and that is a main cause of bee
deaths.
The scientific backup for all this is here:
CodeShutdown and myself are the discoverers / developers of the hypothesis.
"Many kinds of seaweed produce chloroform, and fungi are believed to produce chloroform in soil.[citation needed]
Chloroform volatilizes readily from soil and surface water and
undergoes degradation in air to produce phosgene, dichloromethane,
formyl chloride, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen chloride.
Its halflife in air ranges from 55 to 620 days. Biodegradation in water
and soil is slow. Chloroform does not significantly bioaccumulate in
aquatic organisms.[5]"
About a month back we started covering the possibility of "The Big One" hitting California, maybe the Upper West Coast USA, and some chance of a Yellowstone Eruption.
There was some buoy data that indicated a large drop in ocean floor levels. There was also some claim of a massive CO release on West Coast USA that is scientifically proven to at least sometimes proceed a big quake. It took a few hours of work to debunk that one, but you can see the details below.
And there were periods of intense quietness in terms of number of earthquakes per day.
That trend of low EQ counts continues to today. Normally there are 71 to 73 EQ over 2.5 per day across the world. We have lately seen as little as 20, with many days being around 30 and only once in a while above 40.
So that means that something is "stuck" and there is energy building up for a possible large Earthquake (EQ).
We have also seen some unusual activity, such as numerous over 5 EQ at the mid Atlantic ridge, numerous small quakes near the Volcano on Hawaii. Indonesia has also had an extremely quiet 2 months, but lately quite few 5.0 range. That is "good" as it relieves stress, but keep in mind, prior to the Great Japan earthquake they had a swarm of 5.0 range EQ. And Japan is certainly not "off the hook" as they restart nuclear plants that have been sitting for 5 years, have been poorly inspected, and having emergency shutdowns.
Terra
MODIS was transitioned to science mode on February 24, 2016 (day 055)
after being in safe mode since February 18, 2016 (day 049).
Though
the data is currently being acquired and processed at MODAPS and Near
Real-Time (NRT), users are advised to exercise caution in using the
products in any application. Products from period 055 – 058 might have
been severely degraded due to abnormal operating temperature for the
SWIR (Short-wave infrared) and LWIR (Long-wave infrared) Focal Plane
Assembly (FPA) hence products may not be usable in any application.
Though the focal plane temperatures have reached the stable operating

increased noise in some of the detectors in the thermal bands.
Users are requested to exercise caution in using the products until further notice.

Abstract
NOAA AVHRR images have clearly shown anomalous changes in land surface temperature associated with earthquakes in the past two decades. Soon after the Gujarat earthquake of January 26, 2001, an anomalous increase in land surface temperature was inferred from MODIS satellite data a few days prior to the main earthquake event. The cause of such an anomalous change in surface temperature prior to the earthquake is attributed to many probable phenomena, but no definite cause has been identified. In the present study, changes of a complementary nature were found of land surface temperature associated with the emission of CO from the epicentral region. The observed changes on land and atmosphere associated with the Gujarat earthquake of 26 January, 2001, show the existence of strong coupling between land, atmosphere and ionosphere.

Carbon monoxide may signal earthquake
K. S. Jayaraman
Ramesh Singh.
Earth emits a burst of carbon monoxide (CO) a few days before an
earthquake, according to geophysicist Ramesh Singh. He and co-workers
from France and the United States report that this gas could be used as
one of the precursor signals for an earthquake early warning system.
The scientists used data from an American satellite and analysed
changes in carbon monoxide at different altitudes. "The carbon monoxide
shows enhancement in concentration a few days prior to the earthquake,"
Singh said.
Singh, who was formerly with the Indian Institute of Technology in
Kanpur, is currently in the physics department of Chapman University in
California, USA. The project was funded by the Indo-French Centre for
the Promotion of Advanced Research in New Delhi.
The researchers discovered the connection between CO emission and
earthquake by analysing satellite remote sensing data collected around
the time when a 7.6 magnitude earthquake shook Gujarat in western India
nine years ago killing about 20,000 people and rendering thousands
homeless.
Singh said that CO levels were taken by an instrument onboard NASA's
Terra satellite — launched in 2009 — circling the earth in a polar
orbit at a height of 705 km. The instrument measures CO concentrations
at different heights and also computes the total amount of the gas in a
vertical column of air above the earth surface.
Analysis of the satellite data showed a large peak in CO
concentrations during January 19 and 20 — a week before the main
earthquake event. On January 19, the total CO in the vertical column was
also higher than usual. After the 26 January earthquake the
concentration of the gas dropped.
According to the scientists, CO gas is forced out of the earth due
to the build up of stress prior to the earthquake "influencing the
hydrological regime around the epicentre."
Singh said an anomalous increase in land surface temperature a few
days prior to Gujarat earthquake — as inferred from the data of NASA's
other satellite MODIS — is also related to the CO emission. "The
increase of column CO and concentrations of CO may have enhanced the
land surface temperature," he said.
"The anomalous changes in CO concentrations prior to the main
earthquake event and enhancement of temperature of the earth surface
observed from MODIS satellite data give an indication of coupling
between land and atmosphere," the scientists report. Singh said
observation by other researchers of a sudden increase in water vapour in
the atmosphere and changes in the ionosphere a few days prior to the
Gujarat earthquake all seem to be connected.
According to the report, all these observations including the latest
discovery of CO emission show the existence of a 'strong coupling'
between land-atmosphere-ionosphere. "The integration of all these
parameters in a seismically active region therefore looks a potential
approach to understand earthquake processes and may provide reliable
information about an impending earthquake," the researchers conclude.

To begin, I thought it would be interesting to look at how the North Pacific temperature anomalies have changed in the last few months, both at the ocean surface and in the subsurface waters. As Rick mentioned a few days ago, the NPM index has crashed since October, with the January index becoming significantly negative; so the classical positive NPM phase has disappeared and indeed reversed. The chart below shows the evolution of the monthly NPM index since 2010; the recent change is dramatic, and it’s closely related to this winter’s strong El Niño episode.

I sent numerous emails to the parties that were promoting that picture, asking for date, and a better resolution image I could use for an article. ZERO response.
A commentor on this article at the Facebook page of a TV news reporter (who stated the picture was provided by a hotel guest just then), well the commentor stated that picture was taken by his wife......in 2013
And then this strange comment from the TV reporter. A local boy from Hawaii, and he is pretending that although he knew what the word breach meant, he was surprised that Whales in Hawaii did breach. Really?? Does that make any sense?

Must be a fan of The Beach Boys: Astonishing moment diver comes across 'singing' humpback whale off Hawaii coast
The male humpback whale was singing right under the diver's boat
The amazing footage was filmed off the coast of Honolulu, Hawaii
They are famous for their magical song although why they sing is unknown
Enjoy the audio track of this video, shot in February 2016 off of
Makena, Maui. You can clearly hear the songs of humpback whales, which
this year features more "blips" and "pings" than last. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KbBjWQcToM
HoTaters, I know someone at Hanford. I will not say what their
job is but they have worked for the govt there for a long long time.
I
do believe there is a cult like psychology that most Hanford workers end
up imprinted with. We need to understand that the people working at
Hanford, and other nuke sites, depend upon that job for a paycheck.
They do not want to lose their job for saying anything negative about
nuclear.
There are pro nuclear cheerleaders at the top of the pyramid
who make TON$ of $$$$. They indoctrinate their subordinates and the
brainwashing trickles down each level it seems. Even though people who
work with nuclear are often intelligent in many regards, they have been
duped by the same bogus nuclear health risk propaganda that the general
public has been duped by.
The key to destroying the myth of "nuclear
safety" is to lean upon the studies by Dr. Caldicott, Dr. Mangano, Dr.
Busby and many of the other honest doctors and researchers who have
accurately proven just how dangerous nuclear truly is.
The poor workers
at Hanford might suspect they have not been told the entire truth but
COGNITIVE DISSONANCE has closed off their mind to anything that could
challenge the pro nuclear health risk modelling that they have been
surrounded by their entire career.
Let us activists spread the truth
about the health risks of nuclear far and wide. Dr Goodheart often
cites very useful studies that will help our cause.

Microcephaly
is a malformation associated with in utero exposed atomic bomb
survivors and can be induced in mice by fetal exposure to ionizing
radiation (IR). The pathogenesis of IR-induced microcephaly, however,
has not been fully understood. Our analyses of high-coverage expression
profiling (HiCEP) demonstrated that the abnormal spindle-like
microcephaly associated gene (ASPM) was down-regulated in irradiated
human diploid fibroblasts. ASPM was recently reported as the causative
gene for MCPH-5, the most common type of congenital microcephaly in
humans. Here, we show that the expression of the Aspm gene was
significantly reduced by IR in various human and murine cells.
Additionally, Aspm was found downregulated in the irradiated fetal mouse
brain, particularly in the ventricular zones. A similar suppression was
observed in the irradiated neurosphere cultures. This is the first
report suggesting that the suppression of Aspm by IR could be the
initial molecular target leading to the future microcephaly formation.
Pronuclear people try to pretend that Microcephaly is caused by other things, like being fat. greennukes

You know what else we have here? Big, fat people. My friend thinks
the pesticides in our farming community is the cause of anencephaly.
That would explain why Yakima is affected. Lots of farming in the
Columbia basin and Yakima valley. But why us and not other farming
communities? The anti nuke people think it has something to do with
Hanford.
But Yakima shouldn't be affected then and there is no link with
radiation and anencephaly historically. Like I said, another thing we
have here that affects all those counties mentioned is big fat people.
Some of the biggest and fattest in the US (9th in the US).
Obesity
interferes with the absorption of folic acid. We know that folic acid
deficiency is the predominant factor in neural tube defects. Well, if
those women are taking extra folic acid in their prenatal, how can they
still be folic acid deficient? Obesity interferes with folic acid
absorption.
That is something to read on as well. The other theories
don't make very good sense in light of what we know about neural tube
defects.
I use to think tampons caused cervical cancer because they
were full of "chemicals!!!!". Turns out Human Papilloma Virus causes
cervical cancer.......and lots of throat cancers and lots of rectal
cancer. Cancer as a sexually transmitted diseases. They will most likely
find that prostate cancer has some similar opportunistic organism
etiology as well.
There are thinks that make sense in light of what
we know and things that don't. Immunizations, fluoride in the water,
GMOs, chemicals, pesticides, radiation......all these boogey men when in
reality, good old opportunistic organisms and a crappy lifestyle are
all we really need to do us in.
You know by using your brain and intuition, many problems can be satisfactorily solved via a simple thought experiment.
ENE was talking about the "human caused earthquake".
I have kept
an open mind on this, until yesterday. I have become a bit of an
earthquake statistician, intuitive pattern recognition, type guy.
I reviewed the "swarm" of largish 5 to 6 earth quakes in the NE area
above Japan in the days prior to the "big one".
It doesn't make sense
that this swarm of largish earthquakes would just be a coincidence, that this very unusual swarm
occurred, just prior to a man made nuke or HAARP set off "the big one"
Does anyone need more evidence than that to throw out the highly unlikely conspiracy theory that the Big One was caused on purpose?
All thoughts appreciated. I would like to see "proof" of shoppers milling around, etc.
BTW roads were split, travel was impeded for sure.
Stock, allegedly screenshots show (which I have seen) 5s and 6s in
the moments preceding the nine, allegedly not occurring a day
before…but even if the day previous, the logic was that precursor EQs
would have been a cue for setting off "events." So, your logic may not
have included using these EQs as a predictive "cover"?
Pix of the incoming tsunami show buildings in tact, shoppers milling
about…after no tsunami warning (which was in place) sounded… And a 9
should have flattened buildings, split roads, dismantled bridges, and
set fires from there to Tokeyo. There's that.
Ir, indeed, that would sure be fortunate to the "diabolical scheme"
that an extremely rate swarm of earthquakes occurred, after they had
snook a large ship in, drilled a deep hole, inserted a nuclear device
and then ran wires to at least sea bottom, to receive a patterned coded
set off code from sub communication audio equipment on another nearby
ship, just waiting around in case we got cover to set off the nuke.
Motive, opportunity, ability, and execution. All of these together make the chances of it being real, vanishingly small.
Indeed, I had considered that chance that it was perfect timing and
cover….but so vanishingly small that it needs to be thrown out. In my
opinion.
That said, what would be our benefit to proving this truth multiplied
by the likelihood that it actually occurred, and multiplied by the
chance that we can prove it true and get traction….what is that net
expected benefit in relation to using our time in a more productive
way…..
Well, Stock, just one thing. If malevolence is of this ilk, it better
serves to know history than allow it to be repeated. Opportunity,
ability, and execution are no brainers after all, aren't they Stock?
As to motive, within days, Japan was on track to initiate an entirely
electric car system, which DID in fact, then bite the dust, and Japan
had just th bed is nose about buying into the international monetary
policy…which HAS turned out, after all, to be mandatory.
I do not go to the mat for this, but in my mind, it's prerty
dysfunctional to ignore the Undamaged coastline as the tsunami rolls in.
In this previous bombshell article from last week we uncovered a vast truth about
1) The Animals (Including Bees and Butterflies) that have been seeing mass die-offs
2) The Animals that rely on eating these critters that are seeing mass die-offs
3) The common factor, chitin body structures and radiation
4) A scientific link between the two, showing clearly that radiation is the cause of mass die offs.
1) Make this widespread knowledge
2) Shame the so called marine science Industry into doing some proper testing
3) Gather enough data so that multi-billion dollar decisions can be made to protect our oceans
And let's start with
Stop the Krill Kill!
After all with attention spans less than a goldfish, we need One Liners!
Krill are really cool, they are like a shrimp dinner for the whole ocean.
I posted a question on Amazon on the site of Viva Labs Krill
asking if radiological testing has been done. Got this reply.
Totally inadequate. Replied back that they need to do
testing and cannot assume the Antarctic is radiation free.
Viva Labs Customer Care answered:
Our krill are sourced from the Antarctic Ocean, known to be the
cleanest bodies of water in the world. Our krill are not exposed to
radiation which is why we feel testing is not necessary at this time.
Products most affected by radiation are those sourced off the coast of
Japan, which were exposed to radioactive particles from the Fukushima
disaster. Our krill are not sourced from this area. Currently the only
product that is tested for radiation is our prenatal DHA product,
showing undetectable levels with every batch.
I hope that this information has been helpful. If you have any
additional questions or concerns, please feel free to message me at vivian@vivalabs.com and I would be happy to assist you.

Put in a call to Dr. Mercola's outfit and have not heard back yet.
Would like to know as I need a good source of Omega 3's.
Have to be careful with flax as lot of it is GMO.
So how clean is the Antarctic ocean? How are the whales
doing down there?
The in-use risk model is outdated and should be replaced immediately.
It was invented before the discovery of DNA and is an antiquated model
based on false assumptions and faulty data. The newer models show that
man made radioactive elements are 10 to thousands of times more toxic
than assumed. These new models will also be outdated someday and its
likely that many elements will be revealed as even more toxic.
