Completely Frack’d

Mainstream media don’t want to tell the cold hard facts about CSG in the US of A because they are beholden to the official lie that it’s a saviour for the American energy supply but the sad truth is that farmers all across America are loosing their land and livelihoods as the toxic pollution from the CSG fracker’s leaks into the surrounding area destroying the water table and poisoning the local residents and their soil, livestock and fields.

In the case of many residents their water is literally being turned into methane fuel to the point where their houses are unsafe to live in for fear of explosion.



A Useful Bio Diesel Recycling Program

Chicago University has taken some initiative and setup a complete Bio Diesel Recycling programme that takes used cooking oil from the University cafeterias and turns it into fuel for the University shuttle buses, Glycerine, and bio soap for the pubic facilities. By seeking to manage the recycling process locally they have succeeded where local government has failed. Perhaps they can share their success with other energy conscious Universities across the nation or maybe they will be able to show local industry how to do the job themselves.

The Madness of a Nuclear War

The attempts by Israel to pursue an international strike on Iran with the fake motive to stop them developing a nuclear weapon and the true intention of completely destabilising the middle east are perhaps due to delusions of grandeur on the part of the Israeli and US leadership but more likely just the inevitable result of years of lying to the world coming home to roost as they appear to have actually started drinking their own coolaid. In other words all those years of lying to us in the media in order to control the political agenda enrich their cronies and manipulate the legal process in their favour has resulted in them actually believing that they are in danger of being attacked by flying nuclear bombs.

The comical insanity of this position shows one of two things. Either it shows how far down the road of paranoia and hatred they have travelled to get to the point where they actually believe that Iran would try to bomb Israel which is right next to Syria, Jordan, Egypt and of course Palestine causing untold carnage to a huge population of Muslims… or it is just a very cynical attempt at trying to once again manipulate the global political agenda in their favour so they can attempt to control the remaining but also quickly depleting Iranian oil wealth.

Given how unlikely it is that Iran would launch an attack on Israel without being directly attack first, after all they have already sustained numerous attacks over the years including the bombing of a nuclear facility by the Israeli’s and a constant clandestine but very obvious program to destabilise and kill their top scientists. also let us not forget that Israel and the US created and installed a dangerous computer virus at their nuclear facility to cause havoc with their operations systems. A ridiculously stupid thing to do by itself given the possibility for it to have gone wrong and cause as much damage or worse than the ever continuing Fukushima crisis.

The saddest part of the whole story that they have fed the global media and which they continue to peddle as though it is fact when really it is fiction is that Israel could launch an attack on Iran and that wouldn’t instantly trigger all the weapons systems in Pakistan, India, China, Russia, which would be unable to distinguish between and attack on Iran and their own sovereign lands. Hence an attack by Israel on Iran will be seen by the global weapons systems as an attack on pretty much the entire world.

The second part of the problem is that they keep trying to make us believe that Iran is just on the edge of having the resources to build a nuclear weapon. This is simply the stupidest part of the whole farce. The truth is that we don’t need Uranium to create a nuclear bomb. The top Iranian physicists and pretty much all the nuclear physicists around the world could just walk down to the corner store and find all the resources they need to build a nuclear weapon. Highly enriched Uranium is only one method of literally hundreds that can be employed to build a bomb of significant size and payload that it could literally tear a hole through Tel Aviv.

Why they expect us to believe this lie is probably related to the same reason they expect us to believe that they went to the moon (stupidity, gullibility), 9/11 was planned and carried out by a few angry Muslims (military funding for perpetual war, Innumerous dodgy wall street records lost forever) , Saddam Hussein was harbouring WMD’s (Oil), Libya needed to be set free of Gaddafi’s tyranny with NATO assistance (Oil, Water, Gold), Afghanistan needs to be controlled (Opium, Oil/Gas pipelines) and the list goes on…

In much the same way we are expected to believe that Solar Photo Voltaics are the only serious option for tapping the energy from the sun, that the global energy industry needs to be heavily subsidised by printing as much money as they want or that the worlds banks need to charge us interest to sustain their constant growth and ensure that we are permanently in debt thereby being slaves to the constant requirement to pay off the interest without ever making it to the actual debt, this farce is being perpetuated so that they can attempt to control any country or people that are not already subservient or subjugated.

The same problem that is facing the EU with the credit crisis is the same problem that is facing the US with the energy crisis, is the same problem that is facing the people of the world confronted with lies and manipulation in the media everyday, is the same problem that allows the US and Israel to stoke the fires of sectarian division in Syria, is the same problem that the people of Iraq have been facing during the occupation by the US and British forces, is the same problem that the people of Afghanistan face with the NATO occupation, is the same problem that the people of Bahrain face in their attempts to change the political leadership, is the same problem that the people of Pakistan face with the continued drone strikes on their civilian population, is the same problem that the citizens of the US face in trying to have an election that isn’t completely rigged, is the same problem that the people of Mexico face in the war on drugs, is the same problem that is causing the melting of the poles, is the same problem that is causing the rapid increase in extreme weather events, is the same problem that allows the Japanese leadership to even consider turning on their nuclear power stations, is the same problem that the people of Iran face living under the constant fear of Israeli/US aggression.

All these problems are related to a small group of Elites otherwise known as the 1%ers who seek to maintain their positions of wealth and status through all means necessary to ensure that they are not the ones having to make the choice between feeding their kids and paying their bills. The time will come when even they are no longer able to sustain their lofty positions and will have to make a choice between continuing to support their twisted agendas and being swallowed by the maddened crowds of hungry and dispossessed.

It a sign of the strange times we live in with the English speaking world in social and economic collapse that telling the truth and reporting verifiable facts is considered controversial and radical.

Toxic Brew in Pacific Ocean

It seems that scientists measuring Radiation in ocean predators like Blue fin tuna have seen an increase of almost 10 times the levels of Caesium since Fukushima started polluting the ocean and atmosphere in March 2011. What they don’t mention is the increased levels of all the other 5000+ radionuclides they have spewed forth from the doomed Japanese Nuclear Facility since the start of the ongoing disaster.

The mainstream media is seeking to play down the severity of the pollution but what they fail to mention is that it only takes 1 micron of plutonium to become embedded in the body to cause a slow and painful death. Given that Tuna are at the top of the ocean food chain and are also part of the human diet it seems inevitable that we humans are also going to consume massively increased amounts of radiation simply by having a normal diet. The only way to avoid consuming radioactive fish is to stop eating ocean caught fish stocks. While some of us in wealthy nations will be able to afford that luxury most of the world will not. Given that the majority of the world live in coastal areas and fish accounts for a large percentage of a normal healthy diet is seems that we have succeeded in poisoning ourselves and many future generations to come.

With the full life of plutonium lasting approx 400,000 years it is going to take a very long time for us to flush the affects of this past century of nuclear pollution out of our collective system. Perhaps we can find a way to extract the nastiest radioactive particles from the food before we consume it. However that would require us to only consume processed food and where is the fun in that?

Weimar Hyperinflation Here We Go

With the forthcoming decision by the US govt to increase the money supply by another 1.2 Trillion dollars for the coming year the inevitability of Weimar Hyperinflation on the Global Economy is rapidly approaching.

Due to the cost of everything rapidly rising because of the crushing force of inflationary expansion we are now at the point where we will see a rapid acceleration in the cost of living over the coming months. When it happens we will all be left with the tide out and our pants down. So get used to the idea of everyone else knowing if the carpet matches the drapes.

Canadians Monitoring Wildlife Food Supply for Radiation from Fukushima

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has begun monitoring salmon caught in the pacific ocean and wild Caribou from the West coast for affects of Radiation exposure from the Toxic cloud of Death and ocean emissions that have been spewing out of the Fukushima Facility 24 hours a day for the past 5 months straight. This is a logical and rational decision from the Canadian authorities as they seek to understand how much time left the pacific food supply has before it is too contaminated for human consumption. This is a useful tool for business too. By understanding when exactly food is unsafe to eat the market can respond by increasing prices for the food that is left. It will also give us a better idea of how quickly the plutonium is absorbed into the food chain.

Given that even silicon based life forms are seriously affected by exposure to plutonium, carbon based life forms are going to be having a tough time dealing with the sudden dramatic increase in the amount of highly toxic and deadly plutonium emitted into the biosphere.

All Japanese Food is Contaminated

An illuminating overview of the deteriorating situation in Japan from RT.

Radioactive Beef and Food in Japan

As expected the numbers are continuing to go up, up, up in Japan. Today Bloomberg is reporting that the official number of radioactive cows has jumped from 1300 on Friday to 2600 today. Funny how that number is double the amount from Friday and the amount from Friday was double the amount before that. At this rate we can see the exponential function has kicked in well and truly and with the admission that the radioactive beef comes from 4 prefectures not just one we can basically determine that the truth is all beef in Japan is now radioactive. If the beef is radioactive because of the hay and the hay is radioactive because of the Toxic Cloud of Death then what it really means is that everyone and everything in Japan is now radioactive.

With that problem now defined we can also look at the affect the radioactive pollution in the water is having on the seafood supply and in general the Pacific Ocean. Basically we can see that the exponential algorithm is in affect in Japan which means that as the bulk of the pollution has been dumped into the Pacific it is also in affect there too. As the Pacific is directly connected to every other ocean and the oceans of the world are directly connected to every mass of land we can see the affects that Fukushima is now having on the world.

Like a slow train crash where we are literally unable to do anything the world is being poisoned with radioactive pollution. It’s no wonder that the majority of Japanese people now want to shut down all nuclear power permanently.

Radioactive Beef Update

Today SFGate is quoting the official number of bequerels for the radioactive hay that supposedly was being fed to cows in the region from last weeks official statistic as jumping from 75,000 bequerels to 690,000 bequerels. Of course no one seems to be questioning why the cows were only radioactive because they were fed radioactive hay. Does it not occur to anyone else that the simple fact that the cows were exposed to the same air as the hay would also make them radioactive? Or at the very least be subject to the affects of long term radiation exposure.

The good news is that not only has the official tally of radioactive cows jumped from a dozen to 700 to now almost 1300 cows they have actually decided to stop allowing cows from the region to be sold as meat or in fact sold at all (at least for now).

As of yesterday there were 1,256 potentially contaminated cows from 637 two days earlier, said Kazutoshi Nobuto, a spokesman for the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.

Hay from rice stalks made in Fukushima prefecture was found to contain radiation of as much as 690,000 becquerels compared with the 300-becquerel safety limit, according to the local government office. The cattle suspected of being fed the contaminated hay have been shipped to 45 of Japan’s 47 prefectures, Kyodo News reported yesterday.

The interesting thing about they way this part of the story has rolled out is the sequence of press releases. Once again the Japanese have confirmed that they knew about the problem all along. Simply by following the exact same method for managing the release of facts about the event they have declared to the world that they knew exactly what was happening and the consequences but once again they chose to ignore the facts and rely on the concept of lying to the public as a solution to the problem. In other words they deemed that by delaying the release of the information the public will not be as badly affected by the inevitable truth than if they just told the truth in it’s entirety from the start.

This is a kind of social engineering experiment that is now playing out in the Japanese government. With Naoto Kan telling the world that the results from Fukushima are enough to dissuade anyone from using Nuclear power and the responsibility for the continuing use of the technology falling on the rest of the Diet to decide the fate of the nations future energy infrastructure the lobbying from the nuclear industry to minimise the knowledge of the true affects of the Fukushima disaster is enormous right now. They are literally battling for the survival of their industry. What they are counting on is the Japanese people not realising the true extent of how badly they have now been affected by the fallout from Fukushima.

As it stands the whole of Honshu Island has now been massively and permanently (as far as humans are concerned) affected by the fallout of the Toxic Cloud of Death emitting 24 hours a day for the past 4.5 months since the disaster began. Cattle eating radiated hay is really the least of their worries. What about the permanent health affects that residents of Honshu Island are being subjected to as the cloud continues to sweep over the island on a daily basis depending on the direction of the wind at any given time. The affects are now permanent and will last for hundreds of years just accounting for the cesium let alone the plutonium that has been pumped into the biosphere. Plutonium is the most toxic substance known to humankind. The Japanese have now been exposed to a constant supply of it in the air and water for the past 4.5 months. The affects this will have on the current generation let alone the next generation (will there be anyone capable of spawning a third ?) are going to be deadly and sickening to watch as the results become publicised over the next few years.

It will be only a couple of generations of humans left on Honshu Island at this rate…

Radioactive Beef is Being Sold and Consumed in Japan

According the the Yomiuri daily, farmers from Fukushima have been allowed to sell radioactive beef in Japan that has now been consumed by the unlucky persons who bought the meat for their dinner. What is amazing is that nay beef at all is being processed from the Fukushima region. Let alone the rest of the country which has been bathed in the Toxic Cloud of Death for the past 4 months since the unprecedented nuclear disaster began.

The meat of several cows tainted with radioactive cesium was marketed in Tokyo and eight prefectures, and some of the meat has already been consumed, according to the Tokyo metropolitan government and other organizations.

The distribution of the meat was noticed only after radioactive cesium beyond the provisional legal limit of 500 becquerels per kilogram was detected Saturday in the meat of 11 other cows the same farm shipped to a meatpacking plant in Tokyo.

Before shipping the 11 cows, the farm in Minami-Soma, Fukushima Prefecture, had already shipped another six cows in the period from May 30 to June 30 to places including the meatpacking plant in Shibaura, Minato Ward, Tokyo.

The Tokyo metropolitan government checked the meat that was still in storage and detected radioactive cesium at levels up to 3,400 becquerels per kilogram from the meat of one cow. This is 6.8 times the government-set limit.

The government also checked receipts kept by the distributors involved and found the beef had been shipped to wholesalers and retailers in Tokyo and Kanagawa, Osaka, Shizuoka and Ehime prefectures.

Furthermore, through wholesalers in Ehime and other prefectures, the beef was distributed to Hokkaido, Aichi, Tokushima and Kochi prefectures.

Of about 28 kilograms of beef that a Shizuoka meatpacking company purchased, about 15 kilograms had already been consumed, and radioactive cesium at a level of 1,998 becquerels per kilogram was detected in part of the remaining 13 kilograms.

In Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture, and Yokohama, a total of at least 190 kilograms of beef shipped from the Minami-Soma farmer was sold to retailers and restaurants, according to the Tokyo government and other organizations.
Meanwhile, the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Ministry and the Fukushima prefectural government Sunday detected radioactive cesium at a level of 75,000 becquerels per kilogram in straw stored outdoors at the farm.

The legal limit for radioactive cesium in raw livestock feed, such as pasture plants, is 300 becquerels. If the dried straw given to those cows were converted back to raw plants, its radiation level would be equivalent to 17,045 becquerels.

On Monday, the agriculture ministry and the Fukushima prefectural government said they had detected radioactive cesium at levels about 57 times higher than the government limit in straw at the farm the 11 cows came from.
