Soon -- perhaps this year -- we in the New York City area will
likewise be sentenced to a slow slide to death by leukemia, due to
the coming collapse of the Indian Point Nuclear reactor, built atop the
juncture of major earthquake fault lines. As what NASA knows to be
incoming comets provoke increasing gravitational and electromagnetic
stress upon Earth's crustal surface, the New York City area's earthquake
fault lines are likely to rupture, and we will be showered with deadly
radioactive fallout, just as are these doomed Japanese victims. ~ JD

Deadly Silence on Fukushima
Posted: 05/ 9/11 05:05 AM ET
I received the following email a few days ago from a Russian
nuclear physicist friend who is an expert on the kinds of gases
being released at Fukushima. Here is what he wrote:
About Japan: the problem is that the reactor uses "dirty" fuel.
It is a combination of plutonium and uranium (MOX). I suspect
that the old fuel rods have bean spread out due to the explosion
and the surrounding area is contaminated with plutonium which
means you can never return to this place again. It is like a new
Tchernobyl. Personally, I am not surprised that the authority has
not informed people about this.
I have been following the Fukushima story very closely since the
earthquake and devastating tsunami. I have asked scientists I know,
nuclear physicists and others about where they find real information.
I have also watched as the news has virtually disappeared. There
is something extremely disturbing going on, and having lived through
the media blackout in France back in April and early May 1986, and
speaking to doctors who are deeply concerned by the dramatic increase
in cancers appearing at very young ages, it is obvious that information
is being held back. We are still told not to eat mushrooms and truffles
from parts of Europe, not wild boar and reindeer from Germany and
Finland 25 years later.
A special thanks to people like European Representative Michele Rivasi,
who has followed this issue since Chernobyl: Rivasi, a Green MEP and
founder of France's Commission for Independent Research and
Information on Radioactivity, told EurActiv that she was worried the
tests would cover up nuclear risks and reinstate business as usual.
"It's very important to have scientists who are not already paid by
the nuclear power industry," she said. "If they are the same people
from Euratom and national authorities they use today, why would
they say anything different to what they say all the time?"
One resource for information on Chernobyl deaths and cancers/illnesses
was only just recently translated and can be found online: "Chernobyl:
Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment" by
Alexey Yablokov, Vassily Nesterenko, and Alexey Nesterenko.
Another very good report on Chernobyl is this one, which also outlines
the disturbing relationship between WHO and the nuclear industry.
The best site I have found for up-to-date information by nuclear
industry experts is here.
Arnie Gundersen was a high-level executive for years and analyzes the
information he has been receiving in a calm and scientific way. His
latest update is entitled, "Fukushima Groundwater Contamination Worst
in Nuclear History." Gundersen is in touch with senior members of the
Japanese nuclear establishment. What is highly disturbing is that the
main reason Japan does not appear to be as bad a Chernobyl is that the
wind was blowing out to sea and not for the most part towards land.
But all this has done is spread the cancers out into the worldwide
population as opposed to concentrating it all in Japan. It will be very
difficult to tell, as it was in France, Scandinavia and other places, where
the Chernobyl cloud traveled in the days following the disaster. I will
summarize some of Gunderson's very disturbing and important
information here:
1. There was a hydrogen explosion, and it was a detonation, not a
deflagration -- in other words the fire burned up not burned down.
2. A frame-by-frame analysis shows a flame that confirms that the
fuel pool is burning as a result of an explosion which started as a
hydrogen explosion but that could not have lifted the fuel into the air
so there must have been a violent explosion at the bottom of the fuel
pool. But more data is needed.
3. Gunderson speaks about past criticalities in other nuclear reactors
around the world, and I find it odd we are not hearing about these and
how they can teach us about what is going on now at Fukushima.
4. Radioactive water is being pumped out and groundwater is contaminated,
so there must be a leak or leaks, and this disaster is in no way contained.
There will be contamination for a long time to come and this groundwater
contamination is moving inland. One town is reporting radioactive sewage
sludge from ground water or rainwater.
5. The Greenpeace ship Rainbow water has requested the Japanese
government to test the waters near Japan, and Japan has refused this
independent data request. The EPA has also shut down all inspection centers
and is NOT inspecting fish. (Why the silence?)
Since Gunderson made this latest video, just a day or so ago new photo
evidence seems to be showing burning and new fires taking place at
Fukushima (from TBS JNN Japan):
Why is this not on the front page of every single newspaper in the world?
Why are official agencies not measuring from many places around the
world and reporting on what is going on in terms of contamination
every single day since this disaster happened? Radioactivity has been
being released now for almost two full months! Even small amounts
when released continuously, and in fact especially continuous exposure
to small amounts of radioactivity, can cause all kinds of increases in
cancers.
One reason no one is reporting on this nor allowed to go inside the
exclusion zone nor even measure the waters off of Japan is because
of the following compiled by Makiko Segawa, a staff writer at the
Shingetsu News Agency. She prepared this report from Fukushima and
Tokyo for www.japanfocus.org:
Freelance journalists and foreign media are pursuing the facts, even
going into the radiation exclusion zone. However, surprisingly, the
Japan government continues to prevent freelance journalists and
overseas
media from gaining access to official press conferences at the prime
minister's house and government.
Uesugi stated that since March 11th, the government has excluded all
internet media and all foreign media from official press conferences
on the "Emergency Situation." While foreign media have scrambled to
gather information about the Fukushima Reactor, they have been
denied access to the direct information provided by the government
and one consequence of this is that "rumor-rife news has been broadcast
overseas."
In fact, access has been limited in two ways. First, while Chief Cabinet
Secretary Edano Yukio holds twice daily press conferences for
representatives of the big Japanese media, registered representatives
of freelance and internet media are limited to a single press conference
per week. Second, in contrast to Japanese media who are briefed
regularly by Edano and periodically by Prime Miniser Kan, foreign media
are briefed exclusively by administrative staff.
Uesugi also notes that at TEPCO press conferences, which are now being
held at company headquarters, foreign correspondents and Japanese
freelancers regularly ask probing questions while mainstream journalists
simply record and report company statements reiterating that the
situation is basically under control and there is nothing to worry about.
One reason for this, Uesugi suggests, is that TEPCO, a giant media
sponsor, has an annual 20 billion yen advertising budget. "The media
keeps defending the information from TEPCO!" "The Japanese media
today is no different from the wartime propaganda media that kept
repeating to the very end that 'Japan is winning the war against
America,'" Uesugi exclaimed.
There is one particularly telling example of the media shielding
TEPCO by suppressing information. This concerns "plutonium."
According to Uesugi, after the reactor blew up on March 14, there
was concern about the leakage of plutonium. However, astonishingly,
until two weeks later when Uesugi asked, not a single media
representative had raised the question of plutonium at TEPCO's press
conferences.
On March 26, in response to Uesugi's query, TEPCO stated,
"We do not measure the level of plutonium and do not even have
a detector to scale it." Ironically, the next day, Chief Cabinet
Secretary Edano announced that "plutonium was detected."
When TEPCO finally released data on radioactive plutonium on
March 28, it stated that plutonium -238, -239, and -240 were
found in the ground, but insisted that it posed no human risk. S
ince TEPCO provided no clarification of the meaning of the plutonium
radiation findings, the mainstream press merely reported the
presence of the radiation without assessment (link). Nippon Television
on March 29 headlined its interview with Tokyo University Prof.
Nakagawa Keiichi, a radiation specialist, "Plutonium from the power
plant--No effect on neighbors."
On March 15, Uesugi criticized TEPCO for its closed attitude toward
information on a TBS radio program. For this, he was immediately
dismissed from his regular program. The scandal involving TEPCO's
silencing of the media took an interesting turn two weeks later.
At the time of the disaster on March 11, TEPCO Chairman Katsumata
Tsunehisa was hosting dozens of mainstream media executives
on a "study session" in China. When asked about this fact by freelance
journalist Tanaka Ryusaku at a TEPCO press conference on March 30,
Katsumata defended the practice.
"It is a fact that we traveled together to China," he said. "[TEPCO] did
not pay all the expenses of the trip, but we paid more than they did.
Certainly they are executives of the mass media, but they are all
members of the study session."
When Tanaka requested the names of the media executives hosted by
TEPCO in China, Katsumata retorted, "I cannot reveal their names since
this is private information." But it is precisely such collusive relations
between mainstream media, the government and TEPCO, that results
in the censorship of information concerning nuclear problems.
Now the Japanese government has moved to crack down on independent
reportage and criticism of the government's policies in the wake of the
disaster by deciding what citizens may or may not talk about in public.
A new project team has been created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs
and Communication, the National Police Agency, and METI to combat
"rumors" deemed harmful to Japanese security in the wake of the
Fukushima disaster."
We need to demonstrate and write to our representatives and demand
that measuring be done around the world continuously. Fukushima's
nuclear disaster is still going on. People need accurate information to
protect themselves. Here is how after Hiroshima and Nagasaki and
Chernobyl doctors worked with those who had been contaminated
to decontaminate them (Sources: Tatsuichiro Akizuki, M.D., Nagasaki
1945 (London: Quartet Books, 1981); Tatsuichiro Akizuki, "How We
Survived Nagasaki," East West Journal, December 1980):
Macrobiotic Diet Prevents Radiation Sickness Among A-Bomb Survivors
in Japan - In August, 1945, at the time of the atomic bombing of Japan,
Tatsuichiro Akizuki, M.D., was director of the Department of Internal
Medicine at St. Francis's Hospital in Nagasaki. Most patients in the
hospital, located one mile from the center of the blast, survived the
initial effects of the bomb, but soon after came down with symptoms
of radiation sickness from the fallout that had been released. Dr. Akizuki
fed his staff and patients a strict macrobiotic diet of brown rice, miso
soup, wakame and other sea vegetables, Hokkaido pumpkin, and sea
salt and prohibited the consumption of sugar and sweets. As a result,
he saved everyone in his hospital, while many other survivors in the
city perished from radiation sickness.
I gave the cooks and staff strict orders that they should make unpolished
whole-grain rice balls, adding some salt to them, prepare strong miso
soup for each meal, and never use sugar. When they didn't follow my
orders, I scolded them without mercy, 'Never take sugar. Sugar will
destroy your blood!'...
This dietary method made it possible for me to remain alive and go
on working vigorously as a doctor. The radioactivity may not have
been a fatal dose, but thanks to this method, Brother Iwanaga, Reverend
Noguchi, Chief Nurse Miss Murai, other staff members and in-patients,
as well as myself, all kept on living on the lethal ashes of the bombed
ruins. It was thanks to this food that all of us could work for people
day after day, overcoming fatigue or symptoms of atomic disease and
survive the disaster" free from severe symptoms of radioactivity.
People need answers, data and honest information to help them deal
with
what is going on. Media blackouts, propaganda and greedy self-interested
industries, of any kind, who allow human beings' health to be affected,
and deaths to occur, must be stopped now. That senior TEPCO man and
the leading nuclear academic in Japan did not break down crying and
resign their positions because all was well at Fukushima. Think about it
world, and act now before it is too late.

You are correct, John. In fact, we are all in danger from all the nuclear plants on earthquake faults.
Fukushima is out of the news and we are going about our daily business, but we are not out of danger, not at all. Consider this, "Even small amounts when released continuously, and in fact especially continuous exposure to small amounts of radioactivity, can cause all kinds of increases in cancers."
