*Update* Video Here: *Listen to Fukushima Special* 1st Hour Guest Arnie Gundersen: When someone steps forward and publishes, we're going to see higher radioactivity levels in California bluefin tuna (VIDEO)
Subscription Only: Fukushima Special
Coast to Coast AM with host John B. Wells

…Audio coming soon…
At ~8:00 in
Arnie Gundersen, Nuclear Expert: They went 15 for 15. Every tuna they caught had cesium…
So that basically means that every tuna in the Pacific is carrying cesium 134 and 137…
I think the cesium will continue going up for the next couple of years.

Check this out: http://nuclearcrimes.org/1954map.PNG
This map shows how radiation injected into the central South Pacific in March 1954 from the U.S.'s biggest ever H-bomb blast – Castle Bravo – was carried by migratory fish (tuna) all over the place by the end of 1954. (I think the monitoring threshold was 500 Bq at 10 cm from the fish.)
If a similar study was done by the U.S. & Canada, contaminated catches of tuna and other migratory fish would be found everywhere in the East Pacific in 2011 alone. This is 2012. Fukushima releases have been non-stop.
It's not just bluefin. It's not just tuna. One sample of halibut, which resided in the Gulf of Alaska and didn't go near Japan, was found by one U.S. seafood company to have cesium-134 in March. Explain that one.
EVERY fish in the Pacific probably contains cesium-134 now…and other nasty isotopes as well that aren't being tested.

Olympia WA had seaweed samples detecting fallout on March 28th.
Likewise I agree.
Kinda wondering what the final results were for the seals, walruses, and polar bears in alaska at this point… Not to mention all the dolphins in peru, the sardines in japan…
ect…

I also have to think of how much 'fish' parts are used in fertilizer to grow food on land. Yet another direct impact on humans.
I've seen no mention of bird studies either, like the ones done after Chernobyl. It's been 15 months!
Since many bird species eat fish, I would think the impact would be horribly obvious.
From the Tepco Web Cam Forum thread:
I guess it IS 'horribly obvious'.
Birds observed now almost ZERO: (at Fukushima)
Watch this 1 year old video and compare to now.

Yes, like Strontium-90 with about the same half-life as Cs-137.
Plutonium-239, which has a half-life of 24,100 years.
The half-life of uranium-238 is about 4.47 billion years and that of uranium-235 is 704 million years.
The cat's out of the bag. Pandora's box has been opened, without the Hope in that story.
" Pandora was given a beautiful container which she was not to open under any circumstance. Impelled by her curiosity given to her by the gods, Pandora opened it, and all evil contained therein escaped and spread over the earth. She hastened to close the container, but the whole contents had escaped, except for one thing that lay at the bottom, which was the angel of Hope named Astrea."

No going back.

Well… the final result is we killed the sardines, killed the dolphins and sickened many more, and we did these things on our way to killing our children and destroying millenia of genetic information stored in our DNA. Every living being that lives, or ever lived, depends on that DNA not being corrupted by radiation just like your computer depends on the hard drive not being corrupted by magnetic radiation.
If you wanted the official numbers, don't hold your breath… but anyone WILLING to see the truth can see clearly that we are sending our world off a cliff.

Yes, Andrew, I am no 'science geek' but I have this strong sense that it is going to get really bad, so very much worse, and will be just way beyond the elites' abilities to cover it up and minimize it.
Not really sure how the people will respond because there will be anger for sure, and feelings of betrayal, but there is going to be also a lot of fear, and shock, and despair, and depression – and a tendency to regress and become more childlike and look to big daddy govt. to 'take care of us' and 'make it all better.'
I fear that the traumatized public will continue to be putty in the hands of the elites.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_bluefin_tuna
"In January 2012, a Pacific bluefin weighing 269 kg (590 lb) was sold for 56.49 million yen (about US$736,000) at the Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo…"
I wonder how much cesium (and other stuff that must be in there( has already been consumed by people. That much $ worth means it was likely every edible bit was eaten.
The actual amounts of contamination measured were small, but the cumulative effects and this being just a small part of this we are hearing about, does not bode well.
Imagine if they find detectable levels of contamination in Atlantic bluefin tuna as well. That should at least be done to see if this has already gone everywhere. That would be a comparison of very similar fish anyway.

Why oh why are people still looking at our captors for information.
Let's see. Bluefin tuna contaminated, no mention of the other 70,000 other lifeforms (in the pacific nowhere else).
Monstrous deformities in the GOM up the atlantic coast.
Will we still be looking to such "sources" as our hair, teeth and fingernails slough off?
Gundersen, he's been sloughing off any questions about what CONCERNS THE HELL OUT OF US every single time since day one from his daybreak rose-lit office.
Cross him off.
Don't waste mental energy.

Neither of them are epidemiologists which might explain their diffidence in coming out with the full story, or realizing the full extent of the problem worldwide.
Busby and Janet Shermann are more like Martians looking at earth from an impassive and global viewpoint, high above. Having done that, they are both becoming passionate and will become more so with our support.
Helen sees the results in her office every day. Arnie still holds out hope that the technology can be improved. I personally think he has done the world a **huge** service in doing what he has done so far. Huge.
I think we should rather assist them, help them, rather than attack. Many fields of expertise need to be brought in – doctors, epidemiologists, nuclear engineers and so on.
Compare them all with, say, the Dalai Lama or Steven Hawking.
Nothing from those guys. I think Steven Hawking, bright as he is, simply doesn't understand. Einstein, whose intelligence was not simply of the pulsating brain type but also imbued with other things like compassion (the emotional-spiritual element) and acute awareness of the dangers would have been more vocal and likely would have posted here.
Hawking: nothing. Not a peep.
Dalai Lama: nothing. Not a peep.
They are both in a position to comment and help us out, but have failed to do so. The world is in dire straights, all of humanity is at risk and they have failed as far as I'm concerned.
Support Arnie.
Support Helen.
Support Busby.

Oops. Hit 'report comment' when i didn't mean to, will try to repost:
Pu239, thank you for your thoughtful reply. It's my exhausted frustration at how we never seem to near any view of the whole, instead chronic spottiness and circular speculation.
I become testy at narrow framing of a topic when we know the topic is vast, when we know just below the surface (intended pun) there is agonized suffering of multimillions of creatures whose cries we can't hear.
Like the reporting of the Gulf, like the poem 'one word, one bird word, circling softly, waiting to cry'..this is a chronic state of being which lies encapsulate with a handy little kleenex.
I applaud Helen and Busby…forgive my impatience with Arnie.
You never know anymore, hence the cynicism.
I couldn't find a better way of saying spot on, a good intellect or spirit means little without passionate intuition and the ability to empathize driving everything it does.

Also we, I haven't heard a new peep out of Helen Caldicott in a few months either.
Can you say, "censored"?

I appreciate these links more than you know, chemfood. I'll check them out, especially Helen's show. Still her characteristic sense of humor which I sure need right about now.
You know I couldn't read the story about the bull attacking because it is so painful and to the point.
The whales destroying sailing rigs, the dolphins cries and pleas.
Humans just do not seem to know how to get to the point and act upon what is right before our eyes.
Instead we ruminate and dissect in our deafness, come up with metaphors about how we might pull our sword from the scabbard and all that useless rot.
Humans are all in their heads and not half as commonsensicle as the blind.
We cannot help ourselves one whit, one speck and it was us who plunged them all into unspeakable suffering.

I have one more thing to say about what Pu239 raised re known 'leaders' be it of intellect or spiritual and how it needs rounding completion.
From my hx as a longtime 'practitioner', recall walking past shambhala day celebrants meeting others on a porch exchanging feel-goodiness. It is such an automatic human response to just feel all 'clean' based on how it's always been done. Or automatically in the presense of one touted as 'spiritual' we become reverent without really knowing what it is we're doing.
Who's gonna tell the Singing Nun "enough already!"
Sacred world remains sacred as it always has been, in spite of us.
