Radioactive Wolves, PBS, Oct. 19, 2011:

At 47:34 in

Ravaged by battles of two world wars and the improvement craze of the Stalin era. Ironically the world’s biggest nuclear disaster has turned it into a unique refuge for endangered species.

Full Episode:

Here’s what a US university researcher just back from Chernobyl had to say just a month or so ago:

    Denial denial Chernobyl and Japan radiation affects:

    “In 1989, a group of radiation experts who were sent to the Chernobyl area by the World Health Organization (WHO) denied that any of the health problems were related to radiation. In May 1991, a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) produced the same denial. Neither report denied health problems. Rather, the reports denied any connection between the problems and radiation. Both sets of experts claimed that the Chernobyl populations which they visited suffered from exaggerated fears about their radiation exposures. “

  • I was under the impression it became a wildlife refuge because humans no longer maintained a healthy homeostasis there.

      It’s a refuge for animals that can survive a certain level of exposure. Humans are low on the totem poll on creatures that survive fallout. Cockroaches are far more suited for living in the ashes of Chernobyl compared to a human.

      “Refuge” sounds so warm and cuddly. Just using their term advances the subliminal buy-in.

    A few glamorous pictures and, all is well.

    Where is the hard documentation to support this, and, claims of such?

    And the Show goes on.

    It has taken 24 hours to get back to this site. I see all is well with the global effort to lie and destroy.

    Be careful of deleting the post here, lest you find yourself funneling us into the hands of those, whom you despise.

    [Message to "ZombiePlanet": "Admin" reads maybe 1 out of every 500 comments. Perhaps you are thinking "Admin" deletes them because if a comment gets a certain amount of 'reports' the comment goes into moderation... and it isn't checked on very often, so they just usually stay unapproved after that (which it probably should most of the time anyways).]

    Hello to StillJill, Prayers and blessing upon you and yours.

      I noticed the “Direct Connection” Advertisement on this web site, showing a women presenting her “breasts.”

      Is this a “credit” to those who offer this venue… of our discussion?

  • I looked for information about nuclear accidents on PBS and found only industry hype. I found much more accurate and truth containing information everywhere else. PBS was only the first step in my research journey. I urge everyone else to do the same. Do not stop with just a mainstream public access channel.. Dive much deeper.

    Their programming may not be much better than corporate propoganda. I think the corporate money that they take is influencing their programming way too much.. It is amazing the effect corporate money has even on non profits and churches.

    The overall impression I got from this show personally is that nuclear accidents are actually good for everyone, because then we can have more of these ‘Nature’ shows, and watch all of these fabulously healthy critters wandering around in what looks like Heaven on Earth.

    It almost makes me look forward to the next Chernobyl, or maybe even wish for a worse one, so that a larger ‘Nature’ area will be created. What a wonderful paradise on Earth this is… so we can have more Sarah Palins in the world hosting wonderful shows in areas like this one… Oh joy…

    NOT.

  • Now lets take a break from fantasy to see what reality might look like:

    Chernobyl; Much greater frequency of mutations in contaminated areas – “Directly proportional” to levels of radiation measured.

    ………………………………………………………….

    http://youtu.be/HIOI5djg1LY
    The above video was posted about 10 weeks after the Fukushima meltdowns. There was also a 10 week gap between the time Chernobyl fallout rained down on Northern California and reproductive failure in area bird species (via The Institute for Bird Populations):[...] In addition, the reproductive failure at Palomarin did not begin at the onset of the breeding season nor did it extend throughout the entire breeding season, but coincided with the roughly 10 weeks between about May 6 and July 16 during which time young birds were in the nest and elevated levels of radioactive iodine were present in the environment [...]

    Birds not flying away, Fukushima radiation sickness? Dec 2012
    http://youtu.be/A09aQ1XdWbk

    Insect studies confirm the same effects that the animal and bird studies found.

    Guess what? For those paying attention, human studies SHOW THE SAME THING..

    Bottom line; There is no safe level of radiation..

    Get out of radiation zones ASAP.

    DO NOT STAY THERE.

  • Lesson learned?

    There are no NATURE zones around nuclear plant accidents, not even the ones operating normally, even the ones with no massive ‘accidental’ releases.

    There are only ZOMBIE RADIATION AREAS… If you go there, you get nuked just like the critters, birds, insects and everything else that does not know enough to GET OUT OF THERE.

    If you look closely enough you will notice the damage, excess deaths, deformities, early deaths, diseases, etc, just like the researchers did above.. you may even get to experience it yourself.

    Of course, feel free to believe whatever you want… despite the reality.

    Appearance is often more important than reality, so reality can be denied, easily, effortlessly. And that is what we call free will.

      The agenda, set forth, by those who allow this to continue should be obvious.

      A Zombie “safe” zone has been established.

      Please refer to the kilometer based circular designators referencing the areas of concern, presented on the maps officially presented.

      Any inquires will be soon met with the aforementioned.

      This has been an official public announcement.

    heres the stuff the msm isnt showing, loads of links on the comments to what could be chernobyl in another 35 years approx.. this may have more effect on the japanese that have previous genetic damage from prior sources… sort of a genetic loading? i hope not!

    bioaccumulation?
    “Meiji, the Tokyo company that makes the powdered formula, announced the recall of 400,000 cans of it as a precaution, but said the levels of cesium detected were well below the government’s safety limits. Tests found a combined 30.8 becquerels per kilogram of cesium 134 and cesium 137, the company said, compared with the government limit of 200, the company said. (A becquerel is a frequently used measurement of radiation.)

    Babies could still “drink the formula every day without any effect on their health,” Meiji said in a statement.

    Infants and young children are thought to be especially vulnerable to radiation exposure, which can increase risks of cancer and other illnesses.

    Since the Fukushima Daiichi plant was heavily damaged by the tsunami that followed the earthquake, radioactive particles have made their way into vegetables, beef, fish and the nation’s staple, rice. Readings have been reported voluntarily by producers and consumers because Japan does not require radiation testing for most foods.”

    and this

    “In Japan, nearly a generation of deflation has had a deeper effect, subconsciously coloring how the Japanese view the world. It has bred a deep pessimism about the future and a fear of taking risks that make people instinctively reluctant to spend or invest, driving down demand — and prices — even further.

    In March 2010, in an attempt to stimulate the economy, the Japanese government pushed a record $1 trillion budget through Parliament, aimed at stimulating growth in the long-stagnant economy. It meant another round of spending and adding to Tokyo’s already substantial public debt.”

    notice the amount of money that gets thrown at the situation because the japanese people are being careful consumers.. 1 trillion.. loads of zeroes!! there is a battle going on in japan! nearly unseen!

    ban adverts!
    banzai!!

    The Future Children of Fukushima…and qoute
    “Chernobyl Heart,
    The Battle of Chernobyl (2006)
    Nuclear Controversies (2004)

    “”[A] woman in her fourth month of pregnancy was contaminated with 137Cs [radioactive cesium]… The concentration of 137Cs in the mother (0.91 kBq/kg bw) was similar to that in her newborn child (0.97 kBq/kg bw)”

    have been available streaming online for all to see. The evidence that radiation destroys the lives of entire populations is irrefutable.”

    From this link repost

    http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL1105/S00031/the-future-children-of-fukushima.htm
    and this

    the charity chernobyl heart has its funding cut because everthing is fine and back to normal….is it?? Qoute from nuclear news
    Billions of yen, and decades, to clean up Fukushima’s radiation
    “Authorities are hoping to receive funding from the national government and the Tokyo Electric Power Co., the operator of the crippled nuclear plant. The cost of the two-decade clean-up operatioon is likely to run into billions of yen.”

    But you know the money will dry up sooner, so the investors will be ok! Don’t forget that tepco have a legal obligation to shaft the claimants and mitigate the damage!! So be happy investors of tepco and bp…your money’s safe!!! /sarcasm

    the damage to wildlife is unseen.. dysfunctional animals quickly die in the womb or in the wild.. however it means the immune system of these animals will be compromised if they eat in the wrong place! some species will die out! life in contaminated lands is harder than in non contaminated.. normally if you take the humans from an area their will be animal increase..but that only spreads the damaged dna! it will take many generstions to see big impacts like we see in kazahkstan!! my take

    Dr. Chris Busby:
    “… and it’s already happening, I get e-mails regularly telling me that people are just dropping dead, in a school children are dropping dead, one minute lay there and then their heart stops and they fall down dead and this is exactly what we found in Chernobyl because the Cesium gets into the heart muscles and it destroys heart muscle …”

    Vaya por Dios! ¿Se puede saber qué demonios pinta Stalin en todo esto? Toda esta noticia es una asquerosa sarta de mentiras. Y dejen a Stalin en paz, por favor. Los soviéticos se comportaron mucho mejor con el accidente de Chernobyl que los Japos con lo de Fukushima. Arriba el comunismo!!! CCCP!!!

    This is what you can tell your kids that you left for them to clean up, once you are gone. The Egyptian pyramids are only 5,000 years old, and the Bible is about 2,000 years old.

    How much sense does it make to heat water for only 30 years with fuel that blows up and melts down (creating huge non livable zones for 50,000 years, and then have to deal with the radioactive leftovers from the spent fuel, laying around for billions of years?

    Do you REALLY want your kids and grandkids for infinite future generations to pay for the storage and guarding of these dangerous, terrorist inviting waste products?
