Plutonium found outside Fukushima plant, NHK, June 5, 2011:
Minute amounts of plutonium have been detected for the first time in soil outside the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
Shinzo Kimura of Hokkaido University collected the roadside samples in Okumamachi, some 1.7 kilometers west of the front gate of the power station. They were taken during filming by NHK on April 21st [...]
The samples of plutonium-239 and 240 make up a total of 0.078 becquerels per kilogram. [...]
[M]ost likely to have come from the plant blasts, as their density ratio is different from those detected in the past [from nuclear bombs]. [...]

The lies come out little by little. Very sad Japan has no more faith in their people then this.

I think they will find higher levels of it in other prefectures, as the wind was blowing toward Iwate…

It did disappear, it was reposted by someone else. Good thing, too. I wish there was an area of YouTube where posts could be downloaded, so that activists could make sure their stuff spreads by a simple route that everyone already knows to go look for. The technically savvy should use peer-to-peer and archives for the ten-thumbed rest of us.
… maybe they do, and I just don’t know about it … t’aint the same as piracy, y’know …

I used CometBird from Cnet Download at download.com to sometimes download media that is on a website. Don’t know if it would work for youtube.
http://download.cnet.com/CometBird/3000-2356_4-10973932.html?tag=mncol;1
Its under “Tools” and then “Download Media Files” and then it lists the available media file names and their sizes. CometBird looks like its exactly FireFox with a diff name and media download capability.

A way to do this is enter http://metacrawler.com/info.metac.test.b1/search/news?qsi=41&qs=Date&q=fukushima&fcoid=4&fcop=results-bottom&fpid=2 (all one line) into your browser window then drag the favicon to the bookmark bar. Now you are one click away from a reverse chronologically ordered list of news items on keyword “fukushima” at all times.
Notice how most of the stuff currently there was aggregated at Yahoo!; I don’t know if that was the result of a news dump or if Yahoo! is doing the most work with this as a regular thing.

You may do a similar trick at Google that will keep tabs on tweets about a keyword, with an occasional fb post thrown in. Libya and other Arab Spring doings can be tracked well with this. Try: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=fukushima#q=fukushima&hl=en&prmd=ivnsulm&source=lnms&tbm=mbl&ei=GxfkTeSPBMfeiAL-08ShBg&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=6&ved=0CBkQ_AUoBQ&fp=1&biw=1280&bih=644&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&cad=b

Notice Google tracks my current browser (SRWare Iron) in the query. So I don’t know if that will affect you. But go to Google, enter “fukushima” and select “realtime” from the left hand column and you’re there. Drag the favicon to your bookmark bar and you’ll be hooked for life, as the tweets update almost continually. It will bog down from time to time but just hit “search” again and it starts over.

End to Japan nuke crisis is years, a fortune away.

SILENT WEAPONS FOR QUITE WARS
One basic truth
can be used as
a foundation for
a mountain of lies,
and if we dig down deep
enough in the mountain of lies,
and bring out that truth,
to set it on top of the mountain of lies,
the entire mountain of lies will crumble under the weight of
that one truth,
and there is nothing more devastating to
a structure of lies than the revelation of the truth
upon which the structure of lies was built,
because the shock waves of the revelation of the truth reverberate,
and continue to reverberate throughout the Earth for generations to follow,
awakening even those people who had no desire to be awakened
to the truth.

My guess is that they have indoctrinated themselves so thoroughly over the years that they (first) saw no problem and (second) had atrophied their thinking skills so completely that analysis, let alone resolution, were impossible.
I don’t know if that is explained OK.
Every “culture” has its own specialisms and blind spots. Just because, for example, a shark is pretty good at eating fish does not make it pretty good at anything else. I would suspect that the well known do or die martial aspect of historic Japanese culture is not that great at doing shades of grey.
My own experience is that the nose to nose high heat Anglosaxon “diplomacy” fails after a few minutes in native america. They find confrontation uncomfortable; we find evasiveness uncomfortable.
To help the Japanese resolve Fukushima we would need to understand their cultural norms. First And Foremost.
Of course this may be a completely hypothetical line of enquiry from 11/3 onwards.
Footnote: so, this is outside their skillset, and it would need people with very special skills to make a difference.

and CNN reported ‘three types of plutonium” were found outside the Fukushima reactor on March 28!
Report Comment
Layman’s logic:
1. If “minute” amounts of plutonium have been found outside Fukushima, then the amounts within Fukushima are higher.
2. All of the brave souls working in that plant have been exposed to plutonium, and all of the People living outside Fukushima who remained have been exposed to plutonium.
3. Plutonium kills in “minute” amounts, so minute does not reassure in this case.
4. April 21st samples, the results of which are now just released, is more of the same delaying tactics. Panic is not delayed, and anger is markedly exacerbated.

Thanks very much for the useful information on Geiger!!
