Date Published: Feb 9, 2013
Attorney Paul C. Garner, representing U.S. service members who were in Japan after 3/11: Kim Geiseking who was on the Reagan, and she was pregnant at the time and didn’t know it.
Her fetus, her baby is now a couple of years old and doesn’t speak.
I’m not an expert, but experts say the fetus takes up most of the radiation, more than the mother does.
Then I’ve got people who are bleeding from their behinds, who have sores all over their bodies.

Kazuhiro Haraguchi, former Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications: It is still taboo to talk about radiation exposure […] In June 2011 […] we also demanded the government evacuate at least women and children. […] I think it is the Japanese government [that made it a taboo to discuss radiation exposure].

See this: low cost boadband Internet – solar powered – for rural Africa
Video: Microsoft Providing Low-Cost, Solar-Powered Broadband Access In Africa http://www.energymatters.com.au/index.php?main_page=news_article&article_id=3595 15 Feb 13, Early this month, Microsoft Corp announced the launch of a pilot project delivering low-cost wireless broadband access in parts of Kenya via solar-powered base stations.
A project carried out in collaboration with the government of Kenya’s Ministry of Information and Communications and Indigo Telecom Ltd., the network utilizes TV white spaces to carry broadband signals to previously unserved locations near Nanyuki and Kalema. The project is the first deployment of TV white space technology in Africa.
TV white spaces are well-suited for delivering low-cost broadband access as radio signals in the TV bands can be transmitted over longer distances and penetrate more obstacles than other types of radio signals. As a result, fewer base stations are required.
Microsoft says that as television has begun to switch from analog to digital around the world, even more of this spectrum can be used to relay broadband.
More than 6,000 people will benefit from the project; which is part of theMicrosoft 4Afrika Initiative. In addition, solar power systems with deep cycle battery energy storage will be installed at local schools to supply electricity to their Information & Communication Technology (ICT) labs. Each system will generate 4.5 kilowatt hours (kWh) of energy per day, which should provide a small surplus of power above what is required for each lab.
While 4.5 kilowatt hours doesn’t sound like a great deal, it will be sufficient for students to use tablets and eReaders in the labs.
“Solar power addresses the issue of reliability in developing economies and carries low operating costs since panels last a long time and batteries can function for up to three years,” says a statement from Microsoft.
“That makes solar an increasingly affordable way to deliver power, especially in areas that lack infrastructure for both electricity transmission and broadband access.”
Things are crook when radiation interferes with military exercises
National Guard holds off on training in grasslands amid uranium concerns, The Daily Republic, 14 Feb 13, A key official told the media there’s no indication based on previous air samples that radiation samples at the proposed training area would be above safety standards, but the state will take the necessary precautions. RAPID CITY (AP) — The South Dakota National Guard has postponed plans for training exercises on federal grasslands in the Black Hills after an environmental group warned the military about radiation levels caused by uranium deposits.
Maj. Gen. Tim Reisch, adjutant general of the Guard, said Wednesday the group would hold off until it can be determined that radiation levels in the area do not pose health hazards to soldiers. The Guard was contacted by Defenders of the Black Hills coordinator Charmaine White Face about the possibility of contamination.
“I’m very happy they’re not going to be there for another year,” White Face said. “But that radiation is not going away.”……

Fairewinds board member Chiho Kaneko from Iwate Prefecture discussing her recent trip to northeastern Japan: It’s the reality that Northern Japan, not just in Fukushima, Northern Japan is contaminated. That’s the reality, and people are transporting the contaminants whenever they travel elsewhere. They’re bringing with them. […]
So what’s happening is there’s a gradual and constant dispersing and spreading of radioactive materials, inadvertently. Nobody wants to do it, but we are doing it. That’s a really creepy, macabre feeling I had when I was in Japan.

http://www.nfznsc.gn.apc.org/docs/new…
@ 1:53 I cite a false analogy Al Khalili commits, which takes this form:
1. Fukushima and the tsunami are similar in that both were disasters.
2. The tsunami’s harm is measured by its death toll before 9/14/11.
3. Therefore, Fukushima’s harm is measured by its death toll before 9/14/11.
That argument from analogy is assumed implicitly in his comparison aired on Sept 14, 2011. We cannot conclude as he wishes us to that the tsunami was far worse unless we accept that analogy as true. However, it’s a false analogy on account of the fact that the harm of radiation exposure is also measured by the deaths it causes years and decades later.
BBC1 science show ‘downplayed impact’ of Chernobyl nuclear disaster
“The BBC Trust’s editorial standards committee (ESC) received a complaint on behalf of more than 50 co-signatories that the show was “extremely selective” in the figures it quoted about the impact of radiation released following the Chernobyl disaster and minimised the “more significant and contentious issue” of the secondary effects of health problems such as thyroid cancer.”
Bang Goes the Theory was ‘extremely selective’ in figures used about deaths resulting from Ukraine accident, trust rules
- guardian.co.uk, Tuesday 11 December 2012 15.45 GMT
BBC1 science show Bang Goes the Theory misleadingly downplayed the likely impact of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster by stating it has only claimed about 100 lives, the BBC Trust has ruled.
The trust’s editorial standards committee has ruled that a show broadcast on 3 October last year looking at the issue of nuclear power and the impact of radiation gave a “misleading impression” by failing to include research suggesting there could eventually be up to 16,000 premature deaths from the explosion and fire at the Chernobyl plant in Ukraine.
The trust ruled Bang Goes the Theory failed audiences by not looking at the wider impact of radiation, particularly given its mission to reveal “the truth about the effects of radiation”.

More “no news” from the BBC -Fordo enrichment facility (nearly a week late)
I am bringing you this “breaking report” of reassurance and confirmation (again) of something the IAEA is “reported” to have said (You can read the article for that bit though) .. This is pure propaganda design to reach all the people currently clicking on confirmation of this “breaking” story NOT mentioned by the media and NOT taken seriously in Isreal by any one with a brain or an internet connection.. I believe Christina gave a good balanced account of the “non story”on this website.. this BBC article/propoganda piece does at least give a reason as to why the story might have come out!
“……..Reports in Israeli and Western media……”
“…behaving like capricious little children….”
“…The false news of an explosion at Fordo is Western propaganda ahead of nuclear negotiations to influence their process and outcome,” Saeed Shamseddin Bar Broudi, deputy of the AEOI, was quoted as saying by the state news agency, Irna.
The head of the Iranian parliament’s national security and foreign affairs committee, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, was also quoted by Irna as strongly denying the reports.
Since Friday, various Western and Israeli media have been quoting Iranian sources as saying that the Fordo enrichment facility was rocked by a massive explosion a few days ago – shortly before Israel’s general elections on 22 January….””
(For “Iranian sources” look at someone from Iran or descended from the Shah of Iran or something like that.. Press TV would have covered it but the staff at the BBC and other mainstream outlets are not aloud to watch Press TV because of the Iranian “TV” embargo imposed by the EU, so the journalists have to kind of … talk to the Iranian neighbor or guess! Funny thing sanctions?)
I really dont know why I pay my TV license???
Heres an interesting video on how the BBC treats proper investigative reporters..
Note
1 week late is good for the BBC, theres alot of red tape to get through before an article is released, so well done the BBC, you are getting quicker!.. but they were 3 months late nearly reporting on Fukushima Daichi Meltdowns.. And lied too the British public all the way along!! Even the press standards commision complained about there coverage of Fukushima.. Now I am not bitter…… but i will be returning to the BBC.. and hoping that some arrests will be made by these liars and tv license pimps sometime in the near future.. imo
The BBC have ignored the plight of nearly 500,000 children in Japan living in contaminated areas!
who would have thought!!??
It has been noticed! It will be avenged! Peacefully….. but painfully i hope!
oh and heres tthe restt of the article!! I nearly forgot..
Savannah Rivers Site’s aging cracked spent nuclear fuel containers
KEY FINDINGS
Here are some key findings from the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board’s report on older spent nuclear fuel assemblies:
• Oxide formation can cause handling problems due to sludge formation.
• Hydrogen gas accumulation can form “hydrides” that can spontaneously ignite in air.
• Cladding has ruptured, is missing, or was breached – allowing direct contact with water.
• Sealed cans that hold fuel initially packaged dry have leaked, allowing water inside.
• Fuel is stored in cans whose designs are vulnerable to developing leaks.
Death of Ben Zygier and the failure of Israel’s spy agency Mossad to keep this quiet
Why Israel Couldn’t Contain Prisoner X Story, The Daily Beast, by Dan Goldenblatt Feb 14, 2013 Even with the increased flow of information about Prisoner X—Ben Zygier, aka Ben Alon, aka Ben Allen, aka…—we will probably never really know the truth. What could be the chain of events that led a good Jewish boy from Melbourne, Australia, who, it was confirmed by Israel, worked for the Mossad for 10 years, to end up as an anonymous prisoner in complete isolation in Israel’s most secure and watched prison cell? The fact that under what was supposed to be 24-7-365 observation he also succeeded to hang himself only adds to the mystery. Continue reading

Cutting down on risk of nuclear weapons that are on alert
The report Reducing Alert Rates of Nuclear Weapons is co-authored by Matthew McKinzie from the Natural Resources of Defense Council and yours truly.
France and Britain also keep some of their nuclear force on alert, although at lower readiness levels than the United States and Russia. No other nuclear weapon state has nuclear weapons on alert. The report concludes that the warning made by opponents of de-alerting, that it could trigger a re-alerting race in a crisis that count undermine stability, is a “straw man” argument that overplays risks, downplays benefits, and ignores that current alert postures already include plans to increase readiness and alert rates in a crisis.

Obama aiming for action on climate change
Obama reaffirms support for renewable energy, PVTECH, By Felicity Carus – 13 February 2013, The president used his state of the union speech to underline his commitment to renewable energy President Barack Obama last night restated a renewed commitment to clean energy and pledged to return manufacturing jobs to the US in his state of the union address.
America was “finally poised to control our own energy future” and had begun to turn a corner in competing for clean energy capacity with China, he said.
“Last year, wind energy added nearly half of all new power capacity in America. So let’s generate even more. Solar energy gets cheaper by the year – so let’s drive costs down even further. As long as countries like China keep going all-in on clean energy, so must we.”….. Echoing his passionate comments on climate change in his inaugural address last month, the president also said that more needed to be done to tackle global warming “for the sake of our children and our future”. He added that if Congress did not enact “a market-based solution to climate change”, he would.
“I will direct my Cabinet to come up with executive actions we can take, now and in the future, to reduce pollution, prepare our communities for the consequences of climate change, and speed the transition to more sustainable sources of energy.”
Clean energy business groups welcomed the president’s comments last night…… http://www.pv-tech.org/news/obama_reaffirms_support_for_renewable_energy

North Korea’s secrecy leaves everyone in the dark about its nuclear program
