Amazingly, this article focused on "what if" and not "what already is." There wasn't any mention of Fukushima. However, I think the end results are the same. This is happening and without outside intervention, we are "screwed, glued, and tattooed."
Brazil is looking better and better each day.

Dustin Wright, 30, came down with flu-like symptoms just before Thanksgiving. Ashley said he seemed to be getting better, before taking a sudden turn for the worse.
"Every breath was a struggle for him,” she recalled. “Every single breath. And I woke him up at 11:30, and his lips were purple and his fingers were purple, and he was like a green color -- like he was just changing colors.
...
"He had not gotten a flu shot. H1N1 is one of the viruses included in this year's shot." "I'll never look at this the same ever again for sure,” Ashley said. “Always just get your flu shot, because you never know." [This will cause people to panic and go get their flu shot.]

Ethan Huff In response to growing awareness about the dangers of artificial sweeteners, what does the manufacturer of one of the world’s most notable artificial sweeteners do? Why, rename it and begin marketing it as natural, of course. This is precisely the strategy of Ajinomoto, maker of aspartame, which hopes to pull the wool over the eyes of the public with its rebranded version of aspartame, called “AminoSweet”. Over 25 years ago, aspartame was first introduced into the European food supply. Today, it is an everyday component of most diet beverages, sugar-free desserts, and chewing gums in countries worldwide. But the tides have been turning as the general public is waking up to the truth about artificial sweeteners like aspartame and the harm they cause to health. The latest aspartame marketing scheme is a desperate effort to indoctrinate the public into accepting the chemical sweetener as natural and safe, despite evidence to the contrary. Aspartame was an accidental discovery by James Schlatter, a chemist who had been trying to produce an anti-ulcer pharmaceutical drug for G.D. Searle & Company back in 1965. Upon mixing aspartic acid and phenylalanine, two naturally-occurring amino acids, he discovered that the new compound had a sweet taste. The company merely changed its FDA approval application from drug to food additive and, voila, aspartame was born. G.D. Searle & Company first patented aspartame in 1970. An internal memo released in the same year urged company executives to work on getting the FDA into the “habit of saying yes” and of encouraging a “subconscious spirit of participation” in getting the chemical approved. G.D. Searle & Company submitted its first petition to the FDA in 1973 and fought for years to gain FDA approval, submitting its own safety studies that many believed were inadequate and deceptive. Despite numerous objections, including one from its own scientists, the company was able to convince the FDA to approve aspartame for commercial use in a few products in 1974, igniting a blaze of controversy. In 1976, then FDA Commissioner Alexander Schmidt wrote a letter to Sen. Ted Kennedy expressing concern over the “questionable integrity of the basic safety data submitted for aspartame safety”. FDA Chief Counsel Richard Merrill believed that a grand jury should investigate G.D. Searle & Company for lying about the safety of aspartame in its reports and for concealing evidence proving the chemical is unsafe for consumption. Despite the myriad of evidence gained over the years showing that aspartame is a dangerous toxin, it has remained on the global market with the exception of a few countries that have banned it. In fact, it continued to gain approval for use in new types of food despite evidence showing that it causes neurological brain damage, cancerous tumors, and endocrine disruption, among other things. The details of aspartame’s history are lengthy, but the point remains that the carcinogen was illegitimately approved as a food additive through heavy-handed prodding by a powerful corporation with its own interests in mind. Practically all drugs and food additives are approved by the FDA not because science shows they are safe but because companies essentially lobby the FDA with monetary payoffs and complete the agency’s multi-million dollar approval process. Changing aspartame’s name to something that is “appealing and memorable”, in Ajinomoto’s own words, may hoodwink some but hopefully most will reject this clever marketing tactic as nothing more than a desperate attempt to preserve the company’s multi-billion dollar cash cow.

State Goes After BB Guns: “Young kids can get a felony charge and their lives are basically over”
 |
In New Jersey, an unregistered BB gun could mean jail time.
That’s right…a BB gun. That iconic, much-desired gift from the movie, A Christmas Story. Apparently the government is just as deeply concerned about the potential of someone putting an eye out with a BB gun as Ralphie’s mother was. They are so concerned that if you don’t register your air gun, pellet gun, or BB gun, you could go directly to jail. Do not stop, do not pass go, do not collect $200.
The Graves Act is the primary statute that forms the spine of New Jersey’s oppressive gun control laws. It requires a minimum term of imprisonment and ineligibility for the violation of gun laws, even for first time offenders. Children are not exempt – they too are subject to strict punishment under the harsh gun control law. Punishable violations under the act include:
- Unlawful Possession of a Machine Gun, Handgun, Rifle or Shotgun, in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:39-5(a), (b) or (c).
- Possession of a Sawed-Off Shotgun, in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:39-3(b).
- Possession of a Defaced Firearm, in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:39-3(d).
- Possession of a Firearm While in the Course of Committing a Drug Distribution or Possession With Intent to Distribute Offense, in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:39-4.1(a).
- Possession of Certain Weapons by Persons Previously Convicted of Specified Offenses, in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:39-7(a) or (b)(2).
- The Manufacture, Transport, or Disposition of a Machine Gun, Sawed-Off Shotgun, or Assault Firearm, in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:39-9(a), (b), or (g).
- The Defacement of a Firearm, in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:39-9(e). (source)
Under the Graves Act, all guns must be registered, and this includes BB guns, pellet guns, and air guns, despite the fact that they are not actually “firearms”. According to the ATF,the definition of a firearm is very specific:
“The term “firearm” is defined in the Gun Control Act of 1968, 18 U.S.C. Section 921(a)(3), to include “(A) any weapon (including a starter gun), which will, or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; (B) the frame or receiver of any such weapon….” Based on Section 921(a)(3), air guns, because they use compressed air and not an explosive to expel a projectile, do not constitute firearms under Federal law — unless they are manufactured with the frames or receivers of an actual firearm. Accordingly, the domestic sale and possession of air guns is normally unregulated under the Federal firearms laws enforced by ATF.” (source)
Despite the fact that it doesn’t fall into the definition, if you’re caught transporting a BB gun in your vehicle, for example, and it’s unsecured and unlicensed, you could face mandatory jail time. Even though these “guns” are powered by air or by spring mechanisms, the Graves Act does not differentiate between a BB gun and a sawed-off shotgun.
“In all honesty, kids who are charged are looking at mandatory jail time,” said New Jersey attorney William Proetta, adding that under the state’s Graves Act, a conviction could lead to prison time. “The only defense is to request a waiver but if that’s not granted, young kids can get a felony charge and their lives are basically over.”
New Jersey’s strict Graves Act gun law covers possession of a BB gun right alongside serious gun control measures outlawing sawed-off shotguns, filing serial numbers off of guns or using firearms to commit crimes. Violating the act can bring a minimum three-year prison term and steep fines. (source)
As with anything, accidents do happen, of course. A ridiculous pro-gun control blog on the New York Times website gleefully outlined death and horrible injuries that occurred with BB guns in response to news reports about the application of criminal charges against unwitting BB, pellet, and air gun owners. In New Jersey, it appears that the 2nd Amendment only applies if you pay them for a registration in order to use that Constitutional right.
So if you happen to live in the state of New Jersey, and you want to put a BB gun under the Christmas tree this year, make your decision with full knowledge of the legal risks you could be facing. They’re working hard to demonize guns there, and your kid could pay the price by being labeled a felon for an innocent childhood rite of passage.

You might want to consider using cash instead of debit cards to prevent something like this happening to you.
There is an awful collusion of
gross negligence now taking
place between TEPCO, the
operators of the Fukushima
nuclear plant in Japan, which
suffered a triple meltdown and
the US Department of Defense.
Once again, as with so much
Once again, as with so much
that is awry in our world, the
exposure to massive liability
will keep both parties lying
through their teeth until they
are successfully sued - and that
is exactly what is 51 US Navy
crew members of the USS
Ronald Reagan are intending
to do.
Crew members, many of whom
Crew members, many of whom
are in their early- and mid-20s,
have been diagnosed with
conditions including thyroid cancer,
testicular cancer and leukemia.
The affected sailors are suing Tokyo
Electric Power Company (TEPCO),
alleging that the utility mishandled
the crisis and did not adequately
warn the crew of the risk of
participating as first responders to
the Japanese victims of the
earthquake and tsunami, which
took roughly 20,000 lives. There
are reports among the 100,000
displaced victims in Japan who
dare to speak out about the
connection between the non-stop
release of of radiation over the
ensuing 3 years and their own
mounting cases of illness are being
threatened with internment in
concentration camps.
To further add insult to injury, the
US Department of Defense is
denying that crew members were
exposed to dangerous radiation
levels.
Charles Bonner, attorney for the
sailors, explains that the USS Reagan,
a Nimitz-Class Supercarrier desalinates
its own water. Crew members were
unknowingly drinking, cooking with,
and bathing in contaminated water,
due to the ship's close proximity to
the disaster site.
The number of plaintiffs in the case
could grow significantly, as 150
additional crew members are currently
being medically screened to join.
The sailors are seeking $40 million
each in punitive damages as well as
a $1 billion fund for future medical
expenses for members of the USS
Reagan.
Interview with Akira Tokuhiro, Nuclear Engineer: Fukushima and the Mass Media, Vivian Norris for Hufffington Post, May 17, 2011:
[...] Fukushima differs from other nuclear reactors in that it uses a dirty fuel or MOX which is banned in many of the countries where nuclear power is a major energy source. My Swedish-Russian nuclear physicist friend is sending me links for reliable radioactivity readings and weather/wind patterns. We must remember some of what is posted on the internet are simulations, not actual readings. But he did add this:
The most terrifying fact is that the Japanese power plants are using ‘dirty’ fuel, which most countries have rejected and banned. Needless to say that the Americans built them. Since the Earth is moving Counterclockwise most of the fall-out will drop on U.S., unless very strong winds take it somewhere else. [...]

Meet the latest unpleasant ObamaCare surprise, right on the heels of HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius this week finally admitting that, contrary to Obama's endlessly repeated promise, "there are some individuals who may be looking at increases" in premiums.
Unrestricted movement is a birthright of our liberty. Even socialized medicine's harshest opponents didn't suspect Washington would trample that freedom.
