When do the West blowing winds begin in Japan? Early, mid, or late summer?

The winds are predominantly out of the west as we speak. Usually when they have bad weather the winds come from the east, from NNE to SSE. Right now they are from the NNE, spreading radiation down the coastline. You can check the weather for the nearby town of Soma.

Reactor one cold shutdown? How do you have a cold shut down in a reactor with a core that is melting? Excuse my ignorance but ….

Therein, you’ve exposed the lie that affects us all. The lies are as dangerous as the radionuclides. They remove informed consent, they perpetuate future failed policy, erosion of ethics and preclude overdue change on more fronts than this. Dangerous. Unacceptable.

Therein lies the smoke and mirrors.

The public has short-term memory loss and these guys know it. They tell you one thing one week (50% meltdown) and turn around and twist it the next week (cold shutdown) knowing full well the public will take the newest report as the next new gospel truth… and so on and so on.

This is what we from the old school of hard knocks refer to as “mind games”.

We need to “out” these mind games in the comment sections of mainstream news media.

Every time I read about smoke arising from the Fukus plants I go look at the webcam, and it’s already over with. Maybe it would be better to wait a bit to see if it’s something substantial, maybe an explosion too and flashes of blue light. Then I could swing into action. Here’s the Fukus webcam: http://www.tepco.co.jp/nu/f1-np/camera/index-j.html
