More Tweets from Japan's Twilight Zone
Names of the two main news reporters – 'Takeuchi' and 'Furudate' – from TV Asahi's 'Hodo Station' are seen on 2 GRAVESTONES in a scene in a major TV drama show. (Hodo Station is that news program that the 'suicided' Masaki Iwaji directed )
http://t.co/a5s1vVepUI
I know some of you will think that I am getting loopy again..
But one of the reporters' name, 'Furudate' – is actually an uncommon name (like the name 'Obama' would be here) .. if the names on these gravestones were 'Yamada' or 'Tanaka'… I might not have given this coincidence any thought.
Also, seeing the 2 names 'Takeuchi & 'Furudate' side-to-side on 2 gravestones – just imagine seeing 'Sawyer & Jennings' there – that's the effect – really feels like a pointed, direct reference to the 'Hodo Station' news program which has been under attack from the government for being outspoken against the system. To me, the graves seem to warn: 'if you 2 reporters don't shut up – you're next.'
To make it even stranger, this TV show 'HERO' was apparently included in the 'recommended' list by MEXT ( Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports and Science).
Here is Furudate reporter – his work activism has been included in an enenews headline in the past →

Just for the record
this has been quite the typhoon season for Japan.. so far the Japanese media described each typhoon like this (Japanese weather forecasters numbers typhoons as they come, starting at #1 from beginning of season ) -
#13 → 'the biggest typhoon we've had in the past several years'
#14 → 'biggest since 1976'
#15 → 'even bigger than #14'
#16 → 'once in 100 years'
#17 → 'worst in the within the past few years'
#18 → 'as big as the typhoon we had in 2013, which caused the most damage since the 1950s'
#19 ( vonfong ) → 'biggest typhoon we have ever experienced in recorded history'
Not sure what I want to say with this post.. I'm not denying that this typhoon is serious or anything.. just food for thought.

I'm in Seattle, so I am very much interested in this typhoons path, I closely watch them throw radionuclides across the Pacific at me personally each time but there's not a lot to comment on there. It is what it is, will this one be the one to topple a reactor or stack, or will it be the next one?
Cuz when that happens all the people onsite will leave and these academic arguments with professional disrupters like mbp, mfc, soc will no longer be needed and I imagine their funding will dry up. That's the purpose of their dissent, keep people on here thinking and bickering and doubting, so no one organizes in real life, that's what they really fear. A group in each state meeting in real life, organizing a real movement instead of commenting behind a keyboard.

I forget where he said it, but John Gofman in his musings offered the opinion that the nuclear power Boondoggle would 'obviate parochial concerns about overpopulation,' and he was not joking; just like he was not joking when he called out the uranium cabal charging "uranium fission-based nuclear power amounts to pre-meditated mass murder;" kind of like the discussion held at Wannsee, Jan. 20, 1942, under Reinhard Heydrich, with Heinrich Himmler in a secretarial role: an unforgettably gripping movie by the name: 'Conspiracy' with Kenneth Branagh as Heydrich 'one meeting, 85 minutes, 6 million dead;'

This stuff makes you embarrassed to be an American; especially since I was in graduate school when the truth came out in the 1980's and the Department of Energy had to eat crow over the evil machinations of the 1950's-era criminal cover up and suppression of test results on irradiated fetal lambs; AEC = pure evil;

Another danger of fracking is in the fracking fluid itself, fracking fluids are really just a way to get rid of chemical waste companies would have to pay to dispose of. That's why they are all secret formulas and each company has 50+ different types of fracking fluid. Some of those chemicals are somewhat irradiated but they also inject nuclear waste based fracking fluids into the fracking well to keeping producing. A fracked well loses like 10 percent or more production volume per month, so by injecting hot waste based fluids, it heats the solidified bitumen and keeps production volume up, buts it's a lot more than the uranium they talk about in these bs underplayed stories.
Also why does everyone act like solar is the greatest thing since sliced bread? It's better than coal or nuclear but producing the panels is tremendously energy intensive and creates tons of waste, and with them being so inefficient I seriously doubt any panel can break even within its operational lifespan.
The only way I can see really coming out ahead is renewables like grain alcohol, we make a couple million tons of it every year on this planet. That and hemp oil, which is an even better solution. The cleanest burning oil, grows like a weed without the agri/petroleum cartels reaching in your pocket, can get several growing cycles per year in many locales and we already produced it by the ton in Wwii… No brainer to me.

I have around 1500 watts of solar panel, and 8+ regular car batteries, no need to buy expensive deep-cycle batt's, and a few Cheap charge controllers from China for each group of 3 car battery's. No need for one massive/expensive charge controller, if it fail's I am out of business.
Distributed system = almost fail safe.
That being repeated from a post of a month+ ago, I will add;
My grid electric bill has been $10US for 17 months now. I am not allowed to connect/sell excess power to the grid here because my system is not UL Approved.
"This system is not for sale in the USA", anyone who has priced PV systems online has probably seen this 'disclaimer'.
THAT is the first step (IMHO) to be taken towards energy sustainability, Disband the 'UL system'
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwriters_Laboratories
The $10 monthly service charge is an administrative fee, for providing a connection to the grid. If lightning takes my entire system down, I flip a switch, and am back on grid power. No need for an expensive generator to sit and gum up the fuel system from non-use.

IMO – Nuclear Experts suffer from a psychological condition whereas no matter how horrible the situation is regarding anything Nuclear the overall outlook is always on the 'bright side'.
"If the plant is hit by tidal waves higher than the existing seawalls, this could affect equipment close to the seaside. However, vital functions of the plant are secured for instance by back-up equipment installed in higher areas of the site, out of the reach of flooding."
– Michael Maqua, nuclear expert
(specializing in nuclear safety and radioactive waste management)
"Over the past days, the concentration of radioactive substances in the groundwater has increased significantly at some of the plant's measuring points and, according to TEPCO, this was caused by the recent heavy rains."

… To probe further about the sources of koji, I initiated email conversations with three companies about their miso: one in Japan, one in the USA and one in the UK. I asked where their koji came from, and if it was tested for radiation and if so, where and by whom. Each company stated that they use koji from Japan to make their miso. Their answers varied about where in Japan the koji came from and if tested and how, but suffice to say that the answers from all three companies did nothing to allay my fears about eating miso. These email exchanges are in the APPENDIX at the end of this paper…
… On June 27, 2014, Radiation expert Kevin Kamps of Beyond Nuclear was interviewed about Fukushima on NEXT NEWS NETWORK. At 12:37 the interviewer asks Kamps, "" what about the food industry, are they doing any testing?" Kamps responds, "they're doing woefully inadequate testing … in fact United States regulations are much weaker than Japan's … so Japan has a standard of 100 becquerels per kilogram of radioactive cesium in food … that's 100 radioactive disintegrations per second per second, per second, per second, ongoing in 2.2 lbs of food. Here in the United States, our standard is 1,200 becquerels of cesium per kilogram of food…

EDITORIAL: Risk to nuclear plants from volcanic eruptions cannot be underestimated
October 09, 2014
… Volcanoes are believed to remain active for several hundreds of thousands of years. The modern science of observing volcanic eruptions spans only a few decades, or roughly one-10,000th of the period during which some volcanoes are active.
Despite these facts, Kyushu Electric Power Co. is pushing to resume operations of its Sendai nuclear power plant. The utility has expressed confidence in the safety of the facility.
It insists that the possibility of a huge eruption while the Sendai plant is operating is acceptably low. The company also says it would be possible to detect signs of a major eruption and remove the nuclear fuel beforehand.
The nuclear watchdog has supported the utility’s position.
Using the human analogy, what the utility says can be likened this way: After observing a person, who is expected to live to be 80 years old, for only three days, during which you have not seen the person sneeze, you could state, “Considering the degree and frequency of his past sneezing, we can say he will not sneeze for the time being. We will certainly know in advance when he actually sneezes.”…

OAK RIDGE, Tenn. – EM's demolition of the K-31 Building at Oak Ridge’s East Tennessee Technology Park (ETTP) began Wednesday, marking the removal of the fourth of five gaseous diffusion buildings at the former uranium enrichment site.
The two-story building covers 750,000 square feet and spans a 17-acre footprint. The K-31 facility began operations in 1951, and it was used to enrich uranium for defense and commercial purposes until it was shut down in 1985….

Watch the radiation readings downwind.. turn on your geiger counters and the alarm.. The dust from this is highly radioactive.
Want to bet that that whoever is demolishing this plant does't care about this and isn't measuring it, just like at Fukushima?

US Civil Defense – 'All About RADIOACTIVE Fallout' – Saint Louis MO Nuclear SIMULATION!
A 1950's civil defense film regarding radioactive fallout from nuclear blasts. In an ironic twist of fate the simulation of a blast shown in this video takes place in St. Louis Missouri my home town. This films information on small particulate matter still applies today in regards to blasts from Nuclear reactors such as Fukushima. Long term small particle radioactive fallout is the enemy in BOTH cases… nuclear blasts or reactor meltdown hydrogen blasts which pulverize the radioactive elements rods into fine powder ejecting the fine powder into atmospheric currents. It takes several years for the particles in the jet stream to settle out across the globe. The half life of Cesium 137 is approximately 30 years. The "fallout" from blasts or large meltdown explosion events can take up to 10 years to fully dissipate. Meaning we need to watch precipitation and the dust which builds up over time as explained in this civil defense video. I originally uploaded this the day Fukushima blew up in 2011 however upon my THIRD channel shutdown I lost all videos prior to September 2011…

Crone is a vintage Schwinn road bike and a bit of an outcast himself, but it's not his fault who his rider is. Something has to change before the Elder bicycle and Orr, the Viking leader, throw them both out with the spare parts. A century after Fukushima and the toxic sea, Harek and his mind-beaming bicycle must prove themselves in a world where everyone (and every thing) is out to get them. Including Alec Baldwin.

The meme has changed from Global Warming to climate change
And the eggheads at NASA can't figure out that the sun impacts earth more than humans impact earth.
Study coauthor Josh Willis of JPL said these findings do not throw suspicion on climate change itself.
"The sea level is still rising," Willis noted. "We're just trying to understand the nitty-gritty details."———————
leaving unsolved the mystery of why global warming appears to have slowed in recent years.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nuclear-plants-must-give-anti-radiation-pills-to-nearby-residents-regulator-1.2796233
… Nuclear energy operators must provide the pills to “all residences, businesses and institutions” that could be at-risk of exposure from a radiation plume potentially released during an emergency.
While the specific area covered by this definition differs from site to site, it is generally a radius of between eight and 16 kilometres from a nuclear power plant.
In Canada, mass distribution of pills has already occurred in New Brunswick and Quebec, but not in Ontario, where the majority of the country’s nuclear power plants are located…
Many other countries have had a system of mandatory pre-distribution of potassium iodide pills for years…
Nuclear power operators reportedly expressed concerns earlier this year over how the new regulation will be implemented and the size of the area that will be covered. In heavily-populated regions near nuclear power plants, each additional kilometre would translate to handing out pills to tens of thousands of residents.
Report comment
… For a larger zone (between 50 to 80 km) nuclear plants have to have a stock of pills ready for immediate distribution and “located so that it can be efficiently obtained by, or distributed to, members of the public when required.”… (from marketbusinessnews)
- unfortunately, radioactive isotopes don't know when to stop. in the days after fukushima went kablooey, the entire north american continent was saturated in radioactive iodine, so 8, 16, 50 and 80km sounds a bit meaningless.

The good people here have all experienced the horror and shock of modern civilization's separate parts acting on one another to destroy modern civilization. They are putting up their observations, their links and their comments with the aim of opinion building in favour of the pursuit of truth leading to a happy healthy life on earth. Against this effort there is a sustained campaign to thwart people from veering towards a normal civilization in harmony with nature. This campaign is full of falsehoods as the main burden of its song and is carried out by people bad in thought, word and deed. Germany for example is officially phasing out nukes while the bad leaders of the world are planning to go ahead with nukes and unbridled increase in coal use, both of which require another bad policy of building more and more dams. There is no significant drive towards the highest possible efficiency in the use of resources mined out of the earth. We must continue our push towards a normal way of life, of thrift and maximise the use of extraterrestrial flows of resources by redesigning the way we live. Let our way of life have return as the central aspect so we are infinitely efficient and work towards zero costs. Reforest Mother Earth to Live! Devise ways to enjoy our muscle power and brains! No more Fukushimas! Learn: Only God can make a tree but we can make good use of their produce! Forever! Its clean.

… OPG frequently held up the U.S.’s Waste Isolation Pilot Program, a nuclear waste storage repository in New Mexico, as an example of a successful underground dump – until a spontaneous fire there on Feb. 14, exposing 22 workers to radiation. The WIPP was one of the six topics on which the Joint Panel took testimony.

To the editor — Re: the Oct. 3 article, “Engineer exalts future of nuclear energy.”
Past president of the American Nuclear Society Alan Waltar has perhaps forgotten the 4,000 deaths directly attributed to Chernobyl (other premature deaths from Chernobyl radiation globally could be as high as half a million); the current nuclear waste leakage problems in our own backyard at Hanford and the health consequences to folks down river.
As well he parrots the claim that no one has died as a result of Fukushima, despite former mayor of Futuba (Fukushima Prefecture) Katsutaka Idogawa, reporting, “There are still about 2 million people living in the prefecture who have all sorts of medical issues. The authorities claim this has nothing to do with the radiation fallout from Fukushima, but they have ignored my request to substantiate their claim in writing.”

Japan rises to challenge of becoming 'hydrogen society'
The Japan Times-3 hours ago
… There are safety issues regarding hydrogen, however, and more and more people are becoming aware of them. The gas in pure form is highly flammable and reminds many of the hydrogen explosions that blew up the concrete reactor buildings at the Fukushima No. 1 plant.
This is an issue in the city of Saitama, where Tokyo Gas Co. is trying to build a hydrogen station in the Sakura district.
“They said that a hydrogen station is safe and will not pose problems of the kind that happened at the Fukushima plant, but the station will be dealing with hydrogen . . . and you don’t know what’s going to happen,” said Miki Kubo, a member of the Saitama Municipal Assembly. “People said a nuclear power plant would never have an accident (like Fukushima), but it did.”
Kubo, who belongs to the Japanese Communist Party, said the construction site is right next to a residential area and an elementary school. Since about 20 residents oppose the plan, construction hasn’t even begun yet, she said…
