Fukushima radiation effects – grassroots reports
Fukushima Radioactive Contamination Symptoms Research By No War Now / http://nowarnow.wordpress.com/2012/08/19/fukushima-radioactive-contamination-symptoms-research/19 August, 2012 / Mirror of Newsletter at http://frcsrnewsletter.blogspot.com/
In the last ten days, there were multiple reports of changes in white blood cell counts. In Fukushima-city, 60 kilometers from ground zero, a five-year-old child is already hospitalized with leukemia. At a Tokyo private medical clinic 250 kilometers from ground zero, it is reported that 700 children have had leukopenia since last April. This constitutes 80% of children who were seen at this clinic. There is no end to occurrences of infectious diseases, especially rubella, and reported cases are triple what was reported last year and previous years, according to a summary by Japan’s National Institute of Infectious Diseases.
Reports from members of the general public Continue reading
Julian Assange urges US to end Wikileaks ‘witch-hunt’
“..Barrister and former government lawyer, Carl Gardner, said Mr Assange’s options were now severely limited.
“There’s no legal action he can take now. All he can do is make these public calls for people to do things he would like them to do and play a waiting game with the British authorities.
“The British government is likely to think that time is on their side. It’s Julian Assange who is stuck in this embassy…..”

Urgent appeal to stop misuse of the medical based “radiation dose model” after nuclear accidents.
Urgent 31st August 2012 deadline for this petition!
the ICNJ (International Commission on Nuclear Justice) has been appealing to the european population to sign up to a petition to challenge the ICRP dose model on permitted doses of radiation to the public.
This campaign was contrived and developed during the convention in Berlin 2011 and The “Alternate World Heath Organisation” Geneva 2012
For the independence of W.H.O.
«The World Health Organisation (W.H.O.) is failing in its duty to protect those populations who are victims of radioactive contamination.»
and a short video of all the main players here..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDclUdedZcs
out of those meetings of minds was born this organisation
The International Committée on Nuclear Justice was formed on the 7th of December 2011 by the attendees of the international conference of environmental NGOs and scientists in Vilnius, holding three day seminars in the houses of Lithuanian Parliament and Vilnius Municipality. The original 24 committee members were doubled after the Independent WHO Conference in Geneve 12-13th of May 2012, now collecting a full scope of globaly acknowledged scientists fr Japan, UK, Switzerland, Russia, Belarus, Ukrain, Sweden, USA etc and environmental NGO leaders from France, Germany, Sweden, Finland…

Talks here about the realities of measuring nuclear contaminated lands against the “dose model” used by the IAEA and ICRP supported Chernobyl Forum group..
Early in the video Prof Yablokov states that he uses real data against mathematically derived data and that is how he can get a real estimate of damage done to the point where the data has stopped 2006 (approx)

A quick breakdown here
http://www.nuclearjustice.org is the site dedicated to a new project to force the governments of the world to realise that the radiation risk model of the International Commission on Radiological Protection is unsafe. This will stop further nuclear contamination of the environment and show the military use of Uranium to be illegal. The first part of this is to use existing legislation in Europe, the terms of the EURATOM Basic Safety Standards Directive. What we want you to do is to download the Petition asking for re-Justification from the website, sign it and post it to:
European Parliament
The Petitions Committee of the European Parliament
Rue Wiertz
B-1047 BRUSSELS
Belgium
EDITORS NOTE: Please note that little marketting is possible with this campaign as the IP`s seem to have some way of blocking links etc to this campaign pages so please pass around far and wide .. if we get this done in Europe it will be possible to get it done in Fukushima too! the children of Fukushima and chernobyl are relying on us Europeans to do the right thing.. I sincerely hope we do..
thank you for your attentions!
Radio: Nuclear test site in danger of collapsing — Could create 15 meter tsunami — 193 explosions conducted in little area (AUDIO)
Published: August 18th, 2012 at 5:40 pm ET
By ENENews
“Just in that little area there is over maybe twelve underground tests in that area and we have to remember that France have done altogether 193 nuclear test explosions in Murorua,” he said.
“In the soil of Muroroa, if something happens there is about 150 holes containing very dangerous radioactivity.”
The association says if the atoll were to collapse it could also trigger a 15 metre tsunami.
And how many bombs were set of all together?
A Time-Lapse Map of Every Nuclear Explosion Since 1945 – by Isao Hashimoto
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLCF7vPanrY
“..Uploaded by aConcernedHuman on Oct 24, 2010
Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto has created a beautiful, undeniably scary time-lapse map of the 2053 nuclear explosions which have taken place between 1945 and 1998, beginning with the Manhattan Project’s “Trinity” test near Los Alamos and concluding with Pakistan’s nuclear tests in May of 1998. This leaves out North Korea‘s two alleged nuclear tests in this past decade (the legitimacy of both of which is not 100% clear).
Each nation gets a blip and a flashing dot on the map whenever they detonate a nuclear weapon, with a running tally kept on the top and bottom bars of the screen. Hashimoto, who began the project in 2003, says that he created it with the goal of showing”the fear and folly of nuclear weapons.” It starts really slow — if you want to see real action, skip ahead to 1962 or so — but the buildup becomes overwhelming…”
Mainichi Interview: “The reactors still continue to release radioactive materials” — “The gov’t needs to recognize the gravity of this situation”

Title: Do not underestimate the severity of the Fukushima nuclear crisis: interview

Date: Aug 9, 2012
“..Before her retirement in 2000 from the University of Bremen in Germany, Inge Schmitz-Feuerhake had been an experimental physicist who some 30 years ago had analyzed data on nuclear bomb survivors
[…]
Mainichi: How would you evaluate the way the Japanese government has handled the crisis?
Schmitz-Feuerhake: I praise the government for designating the area within a 20-kilometer radius from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant as a no-entry zone. That it set annual radiation levels of 20 millisieverts as a standard for evacuation is understandable for a government that was unprepared for a large-scale nuclear disaster. But it’s being grossly irresponsible by reactivating nuclear reactors and trying to shift the public’s attention towards “recovery.”….”
“..
Using the average incidence and death rate from cancer and other illnesses among all Japanese, I went to figure out the relative risks of those who entered the cities after the bombings and those who experienced the bomb at least 2.5 kilometers away from the hypocenter. What I found was that the death rate from leukemia and respiratory and gastrointestinal cancers was above the national average, and that the incidence of thyroid cancer, leukemia, and breast cancer among women were 1.5 times to 4.1 times higher.
These results showed that internal exposure to radiation from radioactive fallout (including “black rain” and “ashes of death”) had a great impact on health. But because my findings went against common academic knowledge at the time, my paper was initially rejected when I submitted it for publication in an international medical journal. On the suggestion of the journal, I subsequently had it published in the journal in the form of a “letter to the editor” instead of a scientific paper….”
“….
Mainichi: What do you think of the claim made after the outbreak of the Fukushima nuclear crisis by Japanese politicians and some experts that “radiation exposure of 100 millisieverts or less has little effect on health?”
Schmitz-Feuerhake: It’s a statement that completely ignores the medical knowledge that we have accumulated thus far. Cancer among people who have been exposed to less than 100 millisieverts of radiation has been reported in medical journals and elsewhere. Radiation promotes cell mutation, and no amount of exposure is safe. It’s necessary to take precautions and institute measures to reduce radiation exposure……”

Revealed: Assange ‘rape’ accuser linked to notorious CIA operative
RS By David Edwards , December 6, 2010 One of the women accusing WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange of sex crimes appears to have worked with a group that has connections to the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
James D. Catlin, a lawyer who recently represented Assange, said the sex assault investigation into the WikiLeaks founder is based on claims he didn’t use condoms during sex with two Swedish women.
Swedish prosecutors told AOL News last week that Assange was not wanted for rape as has been reported, but for something called “sex by surprise” or “unexpected sex.” One accuser, Anna Ardin, may have “ties to the US-financed anti-Castro and anti-communist groups,” according to Israel Shamir and Paul Bennett, writing for CounterPunch.
While in Cuba, Ardin worked with the Las damas de blanco (the Ladies in White), a feminist anti-Castro group.
Professor Michael Seltzer pointed out that the group is led by Carlos Alberto Montaner who is reportedly connected to the CIA………
In August, Assange told Al-Jazeera that the accusations were “clearly a smear campaign.”
“We have been warned that, for example, the Pentagon is planning on using dirty tricks to destroy our work,” Assange told the Swedish daily newspaper Aftonbladet.
The WikiLeaks founder said he was told to be careful of “sex traps.” Had Assange fallen for one of those traps? “Maybe. Maybe not,” he said.
Catlin observed that both Ardin and Sofia Wilén, the second accuser, sent SMS messages and tweets boasting of their conquests following the alleged “rapes.”….
“The exact content of Wilén’s mobile phone texts is not yet known but their bragging and exculpatory character has been confirmed by Swedish prosecutors. Niether Wilén’s nor Ardin’s texts complain of rape,” Catlin said.
Ardin has also published a seven step guide on how to get revenge on cheating boyfriends. … http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/12/06/assange-rape-accuser-cia-ties/#.UDEM4yk0cbk.twitter

Date: Aug 20, 2012
“..On March 14, 2011, after hydrogen explosions at the plant’s Nos. 1 and 3 reactor buildings, officials at the TEPCO head office were frustrated with unsuccessful efforts to vent steam from the No. 2 reactor to prevent it from blowing up.
[…]
At the off-site center, TEPCO Managing Executive Officer Akio Komori ordered plans to be prepared to evacuate workers from the plant, which he said would be needed at some point.
Later in the day, what appears to be a TEPCO staff member reported progress in making the pullout plans, including a plan to begin preparations to withdraw 1-1/2 hours before an expected meltdown at the No. 2 reactor and to evacuate 30 minutes later.
The official also explained plans to move to a TEPCO building near the Fukushima No. 1 plant or the neighboring No. 2 plant.
Ten buses were said to be available for evacuation, although they would not be enough to pull out all 850 plant workers at one time…”
NBC: Radioactive contamination in San Francisco neighborhood — 400 times EPA limit found in soil sample — Boys & Girls Club exposed to contaminated dust?

“.. [State health] officials have raised questions about exposure for residents of the island. At an August 2011 meeting, a summary shows, the health department alleged that a Navy contractor might have inadvertently exposed children to radioactive dust at a Boys & Girls Club and a child development center on the island.
The Navy and state Department of Toxic Substances Control, a separate agency also monitoring Navy cleanup activities, said the Boys & Girls Club and child center never were contaminated with radioactive dust. They also say that, in general, radiation levels found on the island are too low to endanger human health – only slightly higher than natural radiation found in ordinary backyards….”

China to be in charge of Britain’s new nuclear power?
The potential for political conflict has been highlighted … “They [the Chinese] will be inside the system, with access to the intricate architecture of the UK’s National Grid and the processes through which electricity supply is controlled, as well as to the UK’s nuclear technology.”
Security fears shelved amid China nuclear bid FT.com By Jim Pickard, Anousha Sakoui and Rebecca Bream, 19 Aug 12
“……..the attempt [China’s} to buy into Britain’s nuclear programme marks a significant change of gear. Not only will this be the first investment into new build projects in the UK – as opposed to takeovers of existing assets – it is also in a controversial sector.
For China, the project provides an opportunity to showcase its expertise in an OECD country. “If you can be at the top table in the UK, that’s a great selling point around the world,” said one of the people close to the Horizon project……. Continue reading
