I have just spent ages trying to post a Chris Busby video.. You Tube refuses to let this video that is home made become a creative commons licence. thereby, stopping the easy sharing of the video amongst the you tube blogging community that is interested in our armed forces well being.
Cenk Uygur breaks down how the internet can be tamed ,, as Cenk says “they would never abuse it….”?
“In the early 1970’s, the U.S. government learned that an undersea cable ran parallel to the Kuril Islands off the eastern coast of Russia, providing a vital communications link between two major Soviet naval bases. The problem? The Soviet Navy had completely blocked foreign ships from entering the region.”*
This is an update to the progress of the Pensions Appeals Tribunals hearing in London in January/ February 2013. Dr Busby predicted in an earlier presentation from Riga that since his expert evidence had been excluded at the last minute by the Lawyers who were representing the veteran appellants, the cases would be lost.
The cases were lost, and here he explains how, with his assistance and that of colleagues, an appeal against the decision has been created. The first stage of this appeal is to apply to the Tribunal Judge to ask him to set aside the decision on the basis that evidence was excluded without the informed consent of the veterans themselves, and failing that, to give permission for the case to be appealed to a higher court on a point of law, that there was a procedural irregularity. In the last few days, the judge has granted the request for an appeal and has extended it to all the veterans in the case.

Chris Busby challenges nuclear test veterans betrayal in UK courts
Yakushi-ji Temple in Nara started a project in Mar. 2012, in an effort to help ease the sufferings of the survivors in Tohoku in a Buddhist way. Monks visit temporary housing complexes in devastated areas to hold “Shakyo” (hand-copying of a Buddhist sutra) sessions.
There, they face the survivors’ deep-rooted sufferings. They’re struck with a sense of helplessness, doubting what they, who are not victims of the calamity, can do to help. This is a story of a year with the monks struggling to find an answer in Tohoku, and the people there still with innermost sufferings who engaged in Shakyo.
The witness in the video says “all the cars come” after saying 100 miles an hour.. he was in a high speed chase with someone in the early hours of the morning. the video shows the tragic event from an early stage
A clearer interview with the witness here…
Published on 21 Jun 2013
There are still many questions and theories circling around what caused the tragic car crash that took esteemed journalist Michael Hastings’ life. We don’t have official word yet and are awaiting an official investigation. Some people witnessed the crash though, including Jose Rubalcava, who is the only man known to have witnessed the crash from beginning to end. He shares what he saw in the interview with Ana Kasparian, co-host of The Young Turks
*Daughter of her friend has been suffering from blood in urine and nose bleeding. Lots of report of deformed babies, no brain babies, One baby she saw had only one eye. It’s so painful to talk about them all. There is no report on premature death in the main media.
*Her son told her that his co-worker heard an alarm before Tsunami came. That alarm meant that there was dangerous level of ionizing radiation that leaked from the pipes after they got damaged by the big earthquakes.
TEPCO worker’s Mum, Mrs. Setsuko Kida, a candidate of Greens Japan Party for General Election 21/7/13 木田節子さん、福島原発作業員の母 緑の党の候補者に
Japan’s first green party formed by anti-nuclear movement: Group seeks to reflect anti-nuclear, environmental, pro-democracy movements By Mike Feinstein, member, GPUS International Committee.
Mrs. Setsuko Kida is a Fukushima disaster evacuee who used to live in Tomioka-machi with her family. She decided to be a candidate of Greens Japan for this General election because she feels strongly a need to speak out the truth on behalf of Fukushima evacuees and of the Fukushima workers. Also, she wants the nation to be really aware of how corrupted Japanese society has become, and she wants the nation to be more empowered rather than being brainwashed by the main stream media, nuclear power groups and the Japanese government. Even with the ongoing Fukushima crippled plants, the majority of the nation has forgotten about Fukushima. She wants them to learn the lessons of this disaster, otherwise another similar disaster could happen in Japan, then it would be too late.(Editor’s note) They said over 70% of the nation don’t want nuclear power, I truly hope that would reflect in the result of tomorrow’s general election. Vote for Greens Japan!!!If LDP would win again, Prime Minister Abe would change the constitution to be able to participate in a war. Also, Japan would join TPP* under Liberal Democratic Party, then Japan would be governed by the rule outside Japan, mainly by USA.
I would like to share her personal story with you. It really touched me and gave me more courage to face the issues concerning Fukushima.
She is really accepting of the tragedy that the nuclear disaster brought to her and many other people, she has became really aware and lives her life in a true sense. She is humorous as well, I’m afraid I won’t be able to reflect that side of her with my limited capability, but I will be happy if this summary helps you to get some hope and courage to be able to live through this confused world we live in.
Mrs. Setsuko Kida and her family are evacuees from Tomioka machi in Fukushima prefecture and now living in Hitachi-city in Chiba prefecture. They were the ones who could afford to evacuate out of Fukushima prefecture.
She said in the video that she was very upset about the whole thing after the disaster till very recently, and was thinking of just leading her quiet retired life, with her family and her dog in the new place.
She now understands how nuclear energy is so dangerous… Tomioka-machi is 8km away from the Fukushima Nuclear plants. Her son developed Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph glands, when he was on 2nd year of junior high school and needed to be treated at hospital.
A documentary film that exposes the effect of Japan nuclear technology on a small village in Vietnam will be shown at this year’s Fukuoka Asian Film Festival. Shinobiyoru Genpatsu (“Encroaching Nuclear Power Plant”) is a scathing indictment against the government’s pursuit of exporting nuclear technology to developing countries like Vietnam.
Documentary writer Shinsuke Nakai visited a coastal village called Thai An in central Vietnam where a nuclear plant will be built soon, with Japan lending its technology and experience. The residents of the village, whose population is around 2,000, told the filmmaker that they were not properly informed about the dangers of nuclear power and its serious consequences, as evidenced by the 2011 nuclear meltdown in Fukushima.
The nuclear plant to be built is part of an agreement between the two nations, signed in 2010, wherein Japanese contractors will build two nuclear reactors in Vietnam. The village head was invited by the Japanese to view a nuclear power plant and he was showed that the reactors are “sealed” and are quite safe. The villagers will only be relocating 1 kilometer from where the plant will be built. Construction is scheduled to begin sometime next year.
Nakai also filmed the residents of Fukushima who were forced to evacuate and until now are displaced due to the expected fallout from the meltdown. The film attempts to show the difference and similarities between the two communities. It has also been screened in western Japan, Tokyo and Nagoya for free.
Japanese researchers, including Dr. Makoto Suzuki, who went to Minamisoma City right after the March 11, 2011 disaster and the nuclear accident to help the local OB/GYN doctor Kyohei Takahashi care for pregnant women in the city and help deliver the babies, examined the placentas from 5 women within 50 kilometers from Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant and 5 women within 290 kilometers from the plant.
Their conclusion is that radioactive cesium concentration in the placentas from 10 women in Fukushima who gave birth between October 2011 and August 2012 was much lower than in placentas in 1960s during atmospheric nuclear testing, and Italian placentas after the Chernorbyl accident in 1986.
From the abstract below, it is not known how many of the five placentas within 50 kilometers from the plant were from Minamisoma, if any. Much of Minamisoma City was designated by the national government as the area where pregnant women and children were not to supposed to live. But all the government did was to declare so, and there was no support whatsoever to the city or the residents. As the result, there were many pregnant women and children who remained.
Cities like Fukushima, Date, Koriyama, and others in Fukushima’s Nakadori (middle third) were never evacuated, even though the levels of contamination turned out to be as much, if not more, than Minamisoma in Hamadori (ocean-third).

Abstract
Aim
The degree of contamination with radioactive cesium (134Cs and 137Cs) in the human placenta after the accident at Fukushima nuclear power plant (FNP), which occurred on 11 March 2011, has not been assessed.
Material and Methods
134Cs and 137Cs contents were determined in 10 placentas from 10 women who gave birth to term singleton infants during the period between October 2011 and August 2012 using high-purity germanium detectors for gamma ray spectrometry. Five women resided within 50 km of FNP (neighbor group) and gave birth by the end of February 2012, while the other five women resided within 210–290 km of FNP (distant group) and gave birth in July and August 2012.
Results
All except one of the 10 placentas contained detectable levels of 134Cs and 137Cs, ranging 0.042–0.742 Bq/kg for 134Cs and 0.078–0.922 Bq/kg for 137Cs. One placenta from a woman living in Tokyo contained 0.109 Bq/kg 137Cs and no detectable level of 134Cs (<0.054 Bq/kg). 137Cs content was more than 0.2 Bq/kg in four and one placentas in the neighbor and distant groups, respectively. Conclusion Degree of contamination of the placenta with radioactive Cs was lower even in women who resided within 50 km of FNP compared to Japanese and Canadian placentas in the mid-1960s after repeated nuclear tests and in northern Italian placentas from 1986–1987 after the Chernobyl power plant accident.
Since I don’t have access to the full paper, I do not know the numbers for the Japanese and Canadian placentas in mid 1960s and the Italian ones after the Chernobyl accident.
UPDATE
Further information here from an anonymouse poster on EXSKF comments
Conclusion is mother contamination with Cs is equal to placenta contamination. Placenta is not a barrier for Cs.
Then they say that CS in placenta and food intake correlate. Based on whole body count results from Minamisoma (previously published by gov) Cs content ranged from 2.3-196.5 Bq/kg. Thus the study authors conclude that the mother participating in this study from Minamisoma did take care with food (meaning eat food from non-contaminated areas) since here placenta only had 0.9 137Cs Bq/kg . The authors finished with the statement that it is not part of this study to check for birth defects or other health effects in the babies (another study should do that).
My comment, as the study about Sr in baby teeth has indicated, it is more important where your food comes from than exactly where you are living. As the saying says: You are what you eat….”
State Of Mind delves into the abyss to expose the true agendas at work. This film reveals the secret manipulations at work and provides shocking and suppressed historical and current examples. From the ancient roots of the control of human behavior to its maturity in the mind control experiments of intelligence agencies and other organs of manipulation, State Of Mind reveals a plan for the future that drives home the dreadful price of our ignorance.
State Of Mind: The Psychology Of Control, from the creators of A Noble Lie: Oklahoma City 1995, reveals that much of what we believe to be truth is actually deliberate deception. The global elites are systematically implanting lies into our consciousness to erect a “tyranny over the minds of men.” This film exposes the mind control methods being used to turn our once vibrant society into a land of obedient sheeple. Are we controlled? To what extent and by whom? What does it mean for humanity’s future? From cradle to grave our parents, peers, institutions and society inform our values and behaviors but this process has been hijacked. State Of Mind examines the science of control that has evolved over generations to keep us firmly in place so that dictators, power brokers and corporate puppeteers may profit from our ignorance and slavery. From the anvil of compulsory schooling to media and entertainment, we are kept in perpetual bondage to the ideas that shape our actions.

Says Rowe, the former Exelon chief: “I think there’s still a chance you could see a nuclear recovery a couple decades out, but I wouldn’t bet on it.”
The bottom line: Of 24 applications submitted in 2008 to build nuclear power facilities, only four have resulted in new construction.
July 18, 2013
Five years ago the nuclear energy industry looked set for its first run of serious growth since the late 1970s, when the Three Mile Island disaster put the brakes on reactor expansion in the U.S. In 2008, Congress authorized $18 billion in federal loan guarantees for plant construction. Utilities submitted 24 applications by the end of that year, anticipating that lawmakers would eventually put a price on carbon with a cap-and-trade bill that would make coal-fired plants less profitable. In 2007 and 2008, the price of the nuclear industry’s two biggest competing sources of power, coal and natural gas, skyrocketed as part of a global rally in commodity prices.
That optimism has given way to despair. Four reactors have closed so far in 2013—a record for the industry. Because of the shale energy boom, natural gas prices crashed, followed by coal. Electricity demand fell during the recession and has yet to regain its 2007 peak. Bolstered by billions of dollars in green energy subsidies in the 2009 stimulus package, renewables, especially wind, have come on faster than many anticipated. Cap and trade never happened. And Japan’s Fukushima disaster in 2011 reminded the world just how dangerous nuclear power can be.
The industry hasn’t done itself any favors. A radioactive steam leak and a botched repair job have led to the permanent closure of three reactors in the last several months, two in California operated by Southern California Edison (EIX), and another in Florida run by Duke Energy (DUK). Faced with growing political opposition, billions of dollars of estimated repair costs, and cheaper alternatives, utility executives in both cases decided to pull the plug rather than fix the plants.
More troubling for the industry is the decision that Dominion Generation (D) made in May to close its Kewaunee reactor in Wisconsin. Squeezed by cheap coal and natural gas and unable to find a buyer after looking for more than a year, Dominion shut down the facility rather than keep operating it at a loss.
A reunion is being held in Tauranga to mark the 40th anniversary of Kiwi servicemen being sent to Mururoa Atoll.
20 July 2013
Kiwi servicemen who looked on as France conducted nuclear testing are marking 40 years since they were sent to Mururoa Atoll as part of a protest by the New Zealand government.
Then-Prime Minister Norman Kirk sent two navy frigates, HMNZS Otago and Canterbury, to the tiny atoll in 1973 to protest against nuclear testing in the Pacific.
Many of the men who served on the two ships are attending a 40th anniversary reunion in Tauranga on Saturday.
The Mururoa Veterans Society has raised concerns about the long-term health consequences for veterans of radiation exposure.
In 1973, the then Prime Minister of New Zealand, Norman Kirk, stated that the French where disobeying the World Court by continuing to test Nuclear bombs in the Pacific, namely at Mururoa Atoll. He sent a Government Representative the right honourable Fraser Colman, and the frigate HMNZS Otago, and then the frigate HMNZS Canterbury to stimulate world opinion against nuclear testing.
This site is intended to keep crew members of HMNZS Otago and HMNZS Canterbury that went to Mururoa Atoll (sometimes spelt Moruroa Atoll) in June, July and August 1973, the news media personel, the Government representative, and a representative from the National Laboratory, informed of medical, and other developments as they effect us.
The state-owned rail company, SNCF, has made a legal complaint and police have opened an inquiry into the incident, which took place on 12 July, the same day as the crash that cost six lives at Brétigny-sur-Orge.
A previously unknown anti-nuclear group claimed responsibility for it in a statement sent to the regional newspaper, the Populaire du Centre.
The crash took place in the morning on a stretch of track used exclusively by nuclear giant Areva to transport nuclear waste near Bessines-sur-Gartempe, in central France.
An Areva convoy came of the rails and carried on for 100 metres, reportedly because a fishplate joining two rails had been removed and a rail disconnected.
Two railworkers aboard were not hurt but have filed a complaint for endangering their safety and wilful damage.
A fishplate also came loose at Brétigny-sur-Orge, causing a train to career off the track in the evening of the same day.
Although investigators are unclear how all the bolts holding it in place came loose at the same moment, they have found no evidence of sabotage and the site is clearly visible from a signal box opposite.
And more on how the French Secret Services react when nuclear hegemony is threatened. In the article below is an interview with an engineer who lost his family home and his life in France due to the interference of the French Secret Services.
When Trevor Jackson got back to the UK, things didnt improve much for the development of this viable energy source.

“Why did the governments of the UK, Japan and France block this unique solution to high cost and dirty, “big project” technologies that are preferred by the corporations?”
[Arclight2011]
An Aluminium Fuel Cell – Why Is UK government Blocking It?
Update: at the end of the video where the video audio becomes mysteriously corrupted as the conversation turned to the advice from the business advisor’s that he went to see.
The statement that he got from these financiers was that the UK government will only support “electrically rechargeable” batteries. Meaning, only that can be charged with nuclear power.
To confirm that the PRISM system can go back 12 years into everyone’s data to find any illegality/blackmail material (ref Luxembourg government or Irish bankers). They also talk about how the security apparatus “cooks the books” to make this system look legal when it obviously is not legal. Why is this not all over the internet?? for a jaw dropping look into Edwards Snowdon`s options and the real state of the UNITED states.. Also, the FISER court, which is supposedly for foreign issues actually set the rules for USA domestic policy!
i don’t think the BBC will be showing this one.. so best residents of the UK stop paying good money after bad programming, imo.
In this video, Arnie Gundersen and Akio Matsumura discuss the continuing crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi site, and come to the conclusion that Tokyo Electric must be removed from the clean-up process. Arnie also discusses his 40 years in the nuclear industry, and how the worst day of that career led him to conclude that a nuclear power plant can have “Forty Good Years and One Bad Day.”
