    Lie & Deny, it’s the “Modus Operandi.”

  • Kevin Kevin

    Of course all this is par for the course and the story is several months old. Intersting that it only becomes an article of interest after the perpetuators of the malfeasance “shrug off” the findings and subsequent criticism.

    It has become clear that this standard operarting procedure of manipulating public processes to shape public opinion is the least of the worrying tactics. As evidenced on this site everything from bold faced lies to outright misinformation, through to misleading and obfuscating details are employed in this disaster of all disasters. Meanwhile the nuclear renaissance rages on.

  • I think the Nuclear Energy Industry was salivating at the thought that all those new plants would be built to battle “global warming”. Fukushima just reminds people how Nuclear is anything but green. And now all the politicians and other paid cronies of nuclear feel obligated to continue lying. When people start dying of cancer and other illnesses those company officials, yakuza enforcers, reporters, mayors, Presidents, Prime ministers, experts, scientists and others involved in this crime will have left the scene. I don’t know how much longer these people can get away with lying to us. God Bless

      IMO, nuclear (disasters specifically Fukushima) have done MORE damage to the efforts to counter global warming vs the previous & ongoing fossil fuel era. If the goal was to offset and reduce the deterioration of the ozone layer by shifting to uranium powered resources, if the hypothesis that the ozone melted 80% in days after Fukushima erupted is valid…. well, what the hell then is the benefit of using nuclear instead of ANY OTHER alternative power as an ozone protector?

      Hello?

      Hello?!

      • voltscommissar

        @ Anthony. I had not heard the hypothesis that Fukushima melted the ozone layer. The pro nukes were promoting nuclear as an allegedy low carbon energy source to combat climate change, not to combat the ozone hole. The only significant link between ozone and climate change is that a few man-made pollutant gases in the atmosphere such as refrigerant CFCs and HCFCs are simultaneously both destructive to the ozone layer and good at trapping infrared rays, i.e. they are greenhouse gases too. But this particular double whammy is only a small part of the overall climate change problem, which is mostly due to carbon dioxide.

        In summary: CO2 = biggest culprit for climate change disaster
        CFCs = eat the ozone layer, a bit player in climate prob.
        Nukes = disaster for everyone
        Renewables = WAY TO GO!!!!!

      Good point, their mood was was up, hard to slap them down with their arrogance and dreams of the bright future.

  • StillJill StillJill

    I take solace in knowing there is ONE who sees their lies. He gets the last word too as I recall.

    • stock@hawaii.rr.com stock@hawaii.rr.com

      He gets the last 100,000,000 words and he only has to speak it once. Even those smart nuke engineers who think they are doing the right thing. They obviously have made themselves oblivious to human nature, even those people will hear the same word, for allowing their own ego and arrogance to put the human species at risk, to mutate and alter and damage the DNA is a direct slap at the gift God gave us.

    :….”…
    :Several professional colleagues and I played a desperate role in both those incidents; they were frighteningly real but also totally unreported in the news media. Indeed, our own intelligence agencies had no inkling that a full strategic Soviet superweapon attack to destroy the United States was imminent on each of the occasions (the second of which would have occurred on May 1, 1997) {}. The May Day for 1997 would have been the “big one”, had the FSB/KGB not been checkmated by “an offer it could not refuse” ⎯ delivered once again by the friendly nation. During those critical periods when every hour on the clock seemed a week in length, the hostile armada that would have struck us included the Japanese Yakuza and Aum Shinrikyo teams on site in Russia, operating leased KGB/FSB strategic scalar interferometers against the U.S.
    Yakuza Acquisition of Soviet Superweapons
    With the collapse of the old Soviet Union’s economy, by the end of 1989 the Russian financial situation was grim. By courtesy of the Russian Mafia {} which works directly for the FSB/KGB, a rogue Japanese group consisting of the Yakuza {} and Aum Shinrikyo {} was conducted to Russia in latter 1989, met with the KGB, and leased some of those large KGB strategic scalar interferometers on site in Russia {}. The down payment was $900 million U.S. in gold bullion, and the lease is rumored to be some $1 billion per year.
    The Yakuza and Aum Shinrikyo then assigned teams to man those superweapon sites and begin weather engineering operations against the United States and other targets. The Aum Shinrikyo even set up a small university in Russia…

    The thing is, this is called Corporatism! It’s at the heart of the world’s problems. It’s why kids are “Occupying Wall Street,” it’s why parents are joining the Tea Parties… no matter Left or Right, we are fighting the same ENEMY!!!

    In the US, Corporations are legally considered individuals, but yet they are NOT held accountable like individuals. It’s obvious that this is not just a US problem. TEPCO and the politicians that assisted them over the years need to be brought to justice. If an individual in any country in the world was caught dumping highly toxic chemicals into lakes and rivers, that person would be vilified by the media and brought to justice, and not one person would care. The same needs to happen to Corporations! This is the crux of every single problem in the world!

    CORPORATISM!!! WE LIVE IN A CORPORATIST STATE!!! THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS ARE PROFITS AND SHARE HOLDERS!!!

    JAPANESE PEOPLE, DEMAND JUSTICE!!!

    EVERYONE ELSE, STOP CORPORATISM IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY!!! JOIN A DISGRUNTLED GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS AND TEACH THEM ABOUT CORPORATISM AND FIAT MONEY–WHICH HELPS TO FEED THE BEAST!!!

    BUSINESS IS NOT EVIL, BUT CORPORATIONS ARE!!! THE FREE-MARKET IS NOT EVIL, BUT THE CRONY-MARKET IS… STOP CORPORATISM!!!

    Uk radon pdf

    to show you how the governments and corporations CAN map radiation effectively, unlike the Japanese “attempt” or do they have mapping like this? Wonder what the IAEA has to say ??

    “This report presents an overview of the results of detailed mapping in England and Wales of radonpotential, defined as the estimated percentage of homes in an area above the radon Action Level. The work was carried out jointly by the Health Protection Agency and the British Geological Survey and was based on the results of measurements of radon in 460,000 homes. The method allows variations in radon potential both between and within geological units to be mapped. The resulting map, which defines radon affected areas in England and Wales, includes much more detail than could be shown in an atlas. The full detail is instead published as a dataset which can be licensed for use in geographical information systems. The estimated radon potential for an individual home can be obtained through a website, http://www.UKradon.org [outside link]. The atlas presents a simplified version of the map, so is indicative rather than definitive: that is, each 1-km grid square is coloured according to the highest radon potential found within it.”
