Saw the weirdest BBC report just NOW about Japan.
It talked about the low population, how the Government has tried to get the young married couples to have babies. How the men don’t want to put the EFFORT into relationships, how the women are not that interested either.
First, what a weird report – saying NOTHING about Fukushima crisis
Secondly it was like they were painting the country of Japan full of i g n o r a n t, selfish people, who only care about their own selfish lives.
IT WAS A HIT PIECE from the Get-Go.
What IT was trying to hide could be anything from INFANT DEATHS to spinning the viewers into believing: Everything is A-OK in Japan.
It figures…when the whole country should be EVACUATED.

Or even that the U.K. population has had so much exposure from proximity to France, Sellafield, Chernobyl rad exposure, and D.U. from weapons everyone’s gonads are fried. Maybe they’re just lethargic because their bodies are overloaded from all the radiation and chemical contamination. Some of the contamination from North Sea oil has to make its way down there, too. Not sure how much factory activity goes on there these days, but it used to be the industrial towns created horrendous pollution.

Ok you didn’t catch this apparently:
MORE than 150 flights to and from Beijing have been cancelled or delayed as a thick cloud of acrid smog shrouded the city, with US figures saying the pollution was so bad it was off the scale.
http://www.sott.net/articles/show/240111-Off-The-Scale-Smog-Grounds-China-Flights
The national meteorological centre said the Chinese capital had been hit by thick fog that reduced visibility to as little as 200 metres in some parts of the city, while official data judged air quality to be “good”.
But the US embassy, which has its own pollution measuring system, said on its Twitter feed that the concentration of the smallest, most dangerous particles in the air was “beyond index” for most of the morning.
The US system measures particles in the air of 2.5 micrometers or less, known as PM2.5, considered the most dangerous for people’s health.
Today’s reading on its air quality index, which rates anything over 150 as unhealthy, over 200 as very unhealthy and over 300 as hazardous, breached the upper limit of 500, at which it stops giving figures.
Meanwhile, the Beijing Environmental Bureau, which currently bases its air quality information on particles of 10 micrometres or larger, known as PM10, said the air quality in the capital was “good”.
A spokesman for the bureau would not comment when contacted by AFP.
According to Beijing International Airport’s website, 155 flights were delayed or cancelled today. Air France and Lufthansa flights coming from Paris and Tokyo respectively were among those grounded.
The frequent discrepancy between US embassy readings and official data on pollution in Beijing has caused huge public anger as more and more residents worry about their health.
Note: on fukushima diary that we have insider reports / tweets stating that fukushimas smog had been worse this week than any other.

There is an offshore air flow occurring. It has been moving toward the coast from the mainland for some time. Probably unlikely the smog was caused by something that came over from Japan.

What is Particulate Matter?
There are things floating around in the air. Most of them, you cannot even see. They are a kind of air pollution called particles or particulate matter. In fact, particulate matter may be the air pollutant that most commonly affects people’s health.
Have a Look.
Particles can come in almost any shape or size, and can be solid particles or liquid droplets. We divide particles into two major groups. These groups differ in many ways. One of the differences is size, we call the bigger particles PM10 and we call the smaller particles PM2.5.
BIG. The big particles are between 2.5 and 10 micrometers (from about 25 to 100 times thinner than a human hair). These particles are called PM10 (we say “P M ten”, which stands for Particulate Matter up to 10 micrometers in size). These particles cause less severe health effects.
SMALL. The small particles are smaller than 2.5 micrometers (100 times thinner than a human hair). These particles are called PM2.5 (we say “P M two point five”, as in Particulate Matter up to 2.5 micrometers in size).
Where particulate matter comes from …
Size isn’t the only difference. Each type of particle is made of different material and comes from different places.
What they are
Coarse Particles (PM10)
smoke, dirt and dust
from factories, farming, and roads
mold, spores, and pollen
Fine Particles (PM2.5)
toxic organic compounds
heavy metals
driving automobiles
burning plants (brush fires and forest fires or yard waste)
smelting (purifying) and processing metals
Ok.
Heres the point you all missed.
1. Flight travel is shutdown. (that is beyond normal in any nation).
2. Situation is near point of interest? Yes.
3. Motive to hide the particulate? Yes.
4. Inferred that they are witholding the information: Yes.
5. Denial: Yes.
6. The united states Embassy reported these levels. They took the sample by remote monitor. …

I agree it is definitely of concern. But must disagree it’s not uncommon for airports to be closed due weather conditions, when there is a low cloud ceiling and it’s not safe to land using instruments.

Large number of fish found dead in south China river
(Xinhua)
15:58, January 10, 2012
GUANGZHOU, Jan. 10 (Xinhua) — A large number of fish were found dead Monday in a major river in the southern province of Guangdong, local authorities confirmed Tuesday.
Floating fish were reported in a three-kilometer section of the Xijiang River in the Jiangmen City on Monday morning, but the situation improved Tuesday with no more dead fish found, said Zhao Yanqiang, spokesman for the city’s publicity department.
An initial probe has ruled out a lack of oxygen or low water temperatures as the cause of the death.
Local authorities initiated an emergency response Monday for disposal of the dead fish, Zhao said.
A further investigation by local environmental and fishery authorities is under way.
Xijiang River is a major tributary of the Pearl River, the third longest river in China and a pivotal waterway that runs across the economic heartland of Guangdong.

Is there an inversion layer over the capital? That would hold the contaminants there, and they would not be dispersed by wind, etc. It’s the same thing as what you see over Los Angeles, CA, or Reno, NV, when there is very heavy smog.

Does this unusually heavy smog have anything to do with radionuclides from Fukushima I wonder?
I have seen pix of ‘normal’ smog in Beijing and it is really bad.
So, air quality is ‘good’ according to Chinese officialdom. Yup. No problems here guys. We just felt like canceling all flights.
I am sure they also rate conditions in their forced labor camps (lao gai) as ‘good.’ The roving execution vans (for harvesting prisoners’ valuable organs) – also ‘good.’
People forced to work long hours for low pay, jumping to their deaths…not so good. Solution – put up suicide prevention netting… (not an option, to interfer with profits by improving workers’ wages/working conditions).
Chinese-style ‘good’ is heading our way fast … the police state is the desired state, in the view of the elites. In fact we’re mostly there. They already gave themselves the power to arrest anyone as a ‘suspected enemy sympathizer’ and hold him/her indefinitely w/out visits, legal counsel, being charged, having a trial. (indefinite detention legislation passed by overwhelming majority of the Senate and signed into law by Obama). Obama (as POTUS) already has the power, and has used it, to have anyone killed! – on his say-so. Called a ‘non-judicial killing.’ The phrases they come up with to avoid calling a thing what it is.
Now they’re working on shutting down the free information exchange on the internet (SOPA legislation).
Got off topic, I know. On topic, I mentioned my concerns about Fukushima to someone today and she didn’t even know what I was referring to …

Think about it …
A. China doubled their entire energy emissions and contaminates over night.
B. A toxic cloud floated in from afar.
Note that the type of particle emissions are capable of multi-national travel.
Unlike AQI PM10 Which accounts for most of the industrial emissions in china.
SO: why are they finding double the national levels of PM2.5 particulate…
Or even better yet…
Why aren’t they immediately releasing the data outlining the type of contamination in a Hazardous situation that requires all citizens to stay in their homes…

The current thing is much less about personality cult (as with Hitler’s, Mussolini, Franco, and others at the time 1920′s through 1940′s)and more of a pure and more pernicious expression of billionaire/multinational corporate/largest military/covert CLASS dominance. In the case of the U.S., which has had martial law at its airports since 2001 (TSA), they are just in the past several weeks seeing TSA expand U.S. martial law to the highways with not a peep of protest from the generally dumbed down and fascism supporting citizens of the U.S.

I asked that same question after new year fireworks this year. It was so unreally foggy this year. The town of Hamburg even had to cancel the big official firework show. I had the impression there must be “something” in the air that the firework-fumes dock on and form that fog/smog. Maybe it behaves like that in China, too. Btw, there was no firework / black powder smell this year. Strange!

The radiation exposure the plant workers face clearly is a death sentence yet TEPCO keeps plugging forward with their business suppressing the public’s knowledge. Considering that recent worker policy has been to remove dosimeters and hide readings it becomes hard to hide fact as cesium and other fun particles shred the tissue of the employees. I remember when people in Florida stuck their fingers in raw oil and got blood diseases then wondered how it happened. It happened because raw oil, just like radioactive fuel, causes people’s heart muscle to decay. Within the next year there may be no one left able to continue maintaining the structural integrity of the plant. If more and more people start to drop from over exposure then no one will continue to risk their lives and die nameless.

A plant worker dies, and almost every post under this headline is the typical, off-topic spam so commonly posted. This blog is really going down the toilet fast.
I’m going to say this only once- I have noticed that a large majority of people who post in the comments section here are seem almost like religious doom-lovers. When actual people who live in Japan post here with their daily experiences, letting everyone know we are NOT all dropping like dead flies, they are quickly slapped down or called a shill. The doom-wishing comments on this site are becoming almost like a religious cult or something. So many of you keep saying ‘it’s the end of the world!, it’s the end of the world!’, but I know most who say that are eating up the bad news every day. I know the type. Many of you love and crave doom, but won’t admit it.
Fukushima Diary (which this blog credits many of it’s headlines to) has some good info, but is at least half paranoid speculation. The owner of that blog openly asks for PayPal donations (even recurring monthly ones) so he can ‘escape’ Japan. Then he runs away from Japan, leaving his friends and family behind. Then a person living in Tokyo sends him a private message, justifiably criticizing him- making some really good points, and what does he do? He says he is ‘being attacked’, and then posts the person’s IP address for all to see. I have ZERO respect for this guy.
I usually see 2 clear agendas on the net. The nuke industry has one. And the anti-nukers have one. Both sides are extremists, cherry-picking or twisting their info for their agenda. Reality is somewhere in the middle.

Yes, this is a horrendous accident. One of the worst in history. Many people will eventually die. But every day, I see healthy people where I live. Every day, I test food and water for radiation with very sensitive equipment, and most of it is ok. Every day life goes on. Some parts of Japan are more dangerous than others to live in. But not all of Japan is a radioactive wasteland. But if the fuel pool in reactor 4 does eventually collapse and catch fire, then Japan might be finished.
I have to wonder how many Japanese people will live a healthy life to an old, ripe age, and how many of the paranoid posters here will die sooner from worrying about radiation that is surely going to kill them…

So much of the radiation blew up into the atmosphere and then was carried away by the jet stream, so much is being incinerated and carried away by the jet stream, and so much is winding up in the ocean.

Hello WindorSolarPlease.
I’m up here on Hokkaido island. We got hit with a bit of radiation in March, but for the most part are alright. I have detected a few low-level ‘hot spots’ near drain run-offs and such, but for the most part, levels in the soil are only very slightly elevated over air levels here and there. Actually, the asphalt seems to have concentrated radiation more up here than the soil did.
As far as food goes.. yes, there is some radiation in our food. It just depends on what it is. Food produced from all over Japan is distributed to all over Japan. I see a lot of foods from Ibaraki, Tochigi, Iwate, Chiba, Saitama and sometimes Fukushima. I avoid these if possible. Plus, I try to avoid foods that are marked 国産 (this vague term means only ‘domestically produced’). I try to buy foods that are produced either in Hokkaido or Honshu (southern island), or from foreign countries. These seem to be the safest when I test them. Speaking of testing, to screen our food and drink, I am daily using an alpha, beta, and gamma scintillation detector that is much more sensitive than your typical overpriced digital pancake detector like the Inspector+. I recommend anyone living in Japan to have one of these for daily screening their food and drink. Fish, carrots, milk, cheese and mushrooms seem to have the highest levels in the foods I am testing. Our drinking water is fine.
Also, I see a lot of paranoia and fear on the net about people in the US testing their rain water for radiation, and getting higher readings. This is usually nothing to be concerned about. It is most likely only the natural radon gas that the moisture brings down from the atmosphere when it rains or snows. I am always testing fresh rainwater and snow here. And yes, sometimes the radiation levels do read higher. BUT, after about 24-36 hours, the levels drop back down to normal. This is only natural radon decay, not cesium, plutonium, or strontium. I hope this info has been helpful.

And one more thing. I honestly believe that people residing outside Japan should be more concerned with other things besides exposure to low-level radioactive fallout. Such as lack of sleep, lack of exercise, smoking, drinking, being overweight, job stress, debt stress, eating chemically enhanced.. processed.. high-fat crap, taking too much medication, daily exposure to high-level electromagnetic and radio frequency waves, etc, etc, etc. These are much much more likely to either make sick or kill those living outside Japan.
Mentioning radiation compared to other very serious and real health dangers is like in that famous line in the movie Jaws: “You yell barracuda, everybody says, “Huh? What?” You yell shark, we’ve got a panic on our hands on the Fourth of July. ”

I have to agree there can be a tone of hysteria in some of the posts. I’d like to see us, collectively, ask questions about why things are happening, instead of immediately assuming the worst is happening.
We need to know, for example, what’s happening with Spent Fuel Pool #4 before we assume it has collapsed, caught fire, etc. and we’re all going to die. We also need to look at weather patterns, the flow of the jet stream, etc., before making other assumptions (like Peking is drowning in radioactive smog). Sometimes it takes a lot of us researching, posting, reasoning together before we can make any reasonable assumptions ….
Granted, some (many?) of the facts are being hidden, and that is limiting our ability to determine what’s really happening. But I’m with you in wishing we’d all try to take a better reasoned, more rational approach. As we say here in the U.S., “It ain’t over ’til the fat lady sings!” Speaking personally, I’ve allowed this to cause me to lose sleep. Thinking about this can be extremely stressful. The situation is truly bad, but “who by worrying can extend his life for even one moment?” Or, “who by worrying can change even one of the grey hairs on his head?”
‘Can’t recommend what anyone else should do, but when this gets overwhelming for me, I go and do something I enjoy, to try and get things back into perspective. Walk the dog, learn to play a new song, read part of a good book I enjoy, etc. Things that make you feel normal. Stop and smell the roses.
We have only this moment. The past is gone, and the future is not assured. LIVE.

I’m not going to go back and count how many of the comments on this thread are about the worker who died, reportedly from cardiac arrest — and how many are off topic. But my impresssion is that most of the comments got hijacked by a seemingly endless description of pollution in Beijing.
That’s nothing new. Beijing has had major pollution problems for years, and it’s been coming over to the US west coast to pollute us for years. Remember the problems before the ’08 Olympics. They had to ban all cars from the city, and pray the air wouldn’t be too bad.
Not every damaging happening in the world is due to Fuku; and they are certainly not relevant to the Fuku workman who died.
In many ways I sympathize with Digilert 100. It’s a litle bit like the English novel: “The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman.” Poor soul, he doesn’t even get born until about page 285, because everybody in the novel rides off on his/her own “hobby horse,” as the author calls those johnny-one-note, self accupied, predilections which keep getting in the way of poor Tristram being born.
May this Fuku worker, and the others of whom we have not been told Rest In Peace!

@dharmasyd,
RIP, his sacrifice is hard to conceive. It also seems hard to believe that Tepco only pays $5,000 a day.
RE:Tacomagroove, she is not talking about American Idol!
Many Californians have been reporting burnt, chemical, nasty smells on the Rad thread, StillJill and I were specifically talking sulfur. You were on that thread reporting chemtrails, and I hope that that is the source of them, but I understand Emmy to be highlighting possible connections between various geographical locations and the air:

FYi:
The fog is represented as “acrid” in this article…
ac·rid ( k r d). adj. 1. Unpleasantly sharp, pungent, or bitter to the taste or smell. See Synonyms at bitter. 2. Caustic in language or tone. ..
Tastes like metal smells like sulfur?”
The connection I see is that the cesium, etc., that killed the worker, also is said to taste like metal, and Burbank is reporting a metallic taste, here is a report of “acrid” air, etc.
Love Tristram Shandy.
Happy Bay Area Spare the Air Day #?!

Thanks NoNukes, aka Tristram:
Thanks for your comment. I hear your viewpoint, and yes, the acrid, metallic taste is a sign of bad things–radiation, chemtrails, other pollution.
Spare the Air Day. Today is something like the 14th or 15th this “winter.”

wow I must have hit a soft note. Bad pr eh…
If you were a frequent reader here you would acknowledge that I am a large contributor to this community. My posts are typically off topic because I bring information to the forum.
If you ban my account admin. I promise to not create a new one.
However. For a one time poster to use a standard industry one line spin I admire your guts.
OP. Admin, I would follow my article to the core. I have a feeling that I am on to something big.
Just to be fare pollution in Beijing is typically 273AQI So levels beyond detection exceeding 500AQi happens to be very important information. Especially in considering its geographical location.
So I suppose you have answered my question without saying anything at all…
And for that we Thank you!

Also I do not use the forum discussion thread for breaking news. So either Ban me or accept what I come to offer free of charge!
I’ve presented enough data to support my views of the information.
So I suggest that you take the time to Debunk the data, and stop shooting the messenger.

@tacomagroove– “Just to be fair…”
I have no intention of
But I do have the right to ask, “What does this have to do with the death of the worker at Fukushima?”
Since you take such affront to any challenge to both your positions and choice of posting forums, I shall return to being silent about what you choose to say and where you choose to say it.
Good luck with your ongoing research. You have contributed very much here.

Coincidences dharmasyd, coincidences…
In Fukushima japan. An otherwise normal man (31) years of age. Suddenly falls i’ll of a hear complication. Within 5 days. Of A fatality on a nuclear site.
Jan 1st. Large release from spf 4. of convection. (likely carrying airborne nuclides).
Jan January 5th. Snow falls on site at Fukushima (known to carry radio nuclides in airborne particulate)
January 6th (same day mid day). Snow falls on tepco / fukushima (missing the surrounding areas).
January 9th. (china’s AQI doubles).
SO yet again another coincidence.
It must be yet another coincidence that China had sent its naval fleet on Dec 28th.
Coincidentally the fleet was there to take more radionuclide samples. Traveling as far as 6100 nautical km. West.
So for a nation Like china to re analyse an entire ocean… Within 30 days of notifying the world their oxygen contamination level is Hazardous. (meaning potentially deadly).
Just weeks before yet more deaths at the fukushima complex.
Does that not justify warrant…
More so Where do I post this information here I ask…
If my observations have data suggesting a breach of containment. Would I click on a march 28th nrc containment thread.
Or.
Is the information so important that it needs be addressed at the time and day of the observation…
In my honest opinion I know that the users here are hounds. We sniff out the newest articles. Because we are concerned. (not worried) .
We are concerned for others well beings.
SO when we find a threat that may need opinions raised. We jump in the middle and get to business.
To me thats warranted.
Please remember:
I don’t get paid to be here.
I release my opinions free.
I spend a large amount of time on my work.
If I make a breakthrough, or find something I feel my friends on this forum would have opinions on. Then I will jump to the top to get the information to them.

@Emmy,
Hope you don’t mind that I copied part of your posts to the Anomalies thread, xdrfox’ post above encouraged me to help keep a record of related posts.

here we go with the humor…. I find myself humming the Sesame Street song…”sunnnny day….”! Every day this gets better and better, I suppose we knew this stuff was going to happen, doesn’t mean I have to like it. Wouldn’t it be nice if the radiation killed all things GMO?

From your lips to God’s own ears Oscar!
I think it may just happen that very way,….TPTB’s ‘stockpile’, like their Prussian Blue, etc,….it WILL all turn into wormwood in their yellow bellies!
