Transcript Excerpt at 8:30 in
- MILES O’BRIEN: But down the road, at the exclusion zone checkpoint, the police officers ordered to be here are hoping for the best. You don’t worry?

- (LAUGHTER)

I give thanks to PBS tonight. I can hardly believe it. I quit sending money to PBS 30 years ago, when I first sensed they were going corporate-wall-st-positive. I say thanks that they can do a story this honest once again. It has been a long time.
There is NO safe level of ionizing radiation. Never was. Never will be.
So, thank you, PBS, for moving us a little closer to that truth.

Either they are paid propaganda or they have no idea what they’re up against. Not wearing a mask….. I dont know what to say.

So —
Joseph S. Tanious, CFA, market strategist for J.P. Morgan Funds…thinks that the markets are going to continue to rise for the next year and a half, or so…I guess I want to add, “If there will still be a world in which those markets can rise!” Or if there will be anyone not too sick to care anymore!

Quotes from PBS video:(my thought)
“The government wasn’t releasing data…” (Same in USA and Canada)
“Almost criminal…” (IS criminal)
“Less radiation IS less harmful…” (true!!!)
“People should trust the data…” (true)
“The democratization of science…” (interesting concept)
Only independent people are doing anything worth a ‘darn’ when it comes to testing.

time stamp 5:41. he says that it’s almost criminal to manufacture geiger counters that don’t work properly. so i figure, it must be criminal to cause a “nuk accident” of this scale. lots of people will perish ‘coz of cancer and other diseases it will cause.

Hello all,
Nice to see they are using the Inspector. Now we know where they are all going with the priority to japan.
Also, WCG reported her readings were normally above .300 something. Notice what this bro says at about 8:12 min into this excellent video report. He speaks to getting back to UNDER .300 levels indicating that these would be the normal levels.
Compared to those readings he is getting there, we have not seen anything yet. Really humbles us here and even though our readings are higher than what most are reporting here on enenews, it tells us that our readings are not as high as those in japan.
What it will be like in another years time may not be nice.
Pray and prepare.
Live well one day at a time.

Wow, my respect meter for Miles O’Brien just went off the chart. I did not think anyone from CNN would venture anywhere near Fukushima again.

When Joi Ito talks about how Safecast started taking on a life of its own, where everyone started communicating and forming a network, it reminded me of Enenews, actually.
This site has definitely become more than just an average information site; it’s more of a community, where you feel like you know people intimately. And it’s become by far the most informative website, in my opinion, about what’s going on not just with Fukushima, but with the whole system that cause this to occur in the first place…
Glad to find so many people who think and feel the same way I do!

Good morning WCG,
Did you see that part in this video in which he describes .300 as being the norm?
And, have you had a chance to measure any beach sand or sea water? You can get a little of both in a baggie to measure. If you want, you can send some to me to check also.
Your thoughts?

I don’t know why you would ever go to Japan and get close to that power plant without a mask. You have no idea if you are breathing other kinds of isotopes into your body with portable equipment to take readings with. PBS finally releases data on the matter and I am proud to say Safecasts efforts are greatly welcome. The fact they need to mention now is the projected impact on human health of 8 months moderate dose of radiation and how high projected levels could become with additional fission events. The scale of the task is not just mapping hot areas it will involve a massive mobilization of the medical community to study the frequency of reports of decreased immunity and infant health declines. At least they can document the effects of a slow burning nuclear population eradication. How much plutonium is the population expected to ingest? We don’t know is not an answer I want to hear anymore.

I find it interesting if you Wiki Japan it states the Japanese as having the World’s highest longevity. You think you would cherish that.

Amazing how the same Safecast PBS video gets a different spin from the Japanese from grumpy old Mike in Tokyo:
“Safecast data proves that Tokyo is well within safe limits and has lower radiation levels than major international cities such as Rome, Italy or Hong Kong, China.”

These guys blogged that trip some time ago and they said at the time they found something (near where the police were) that blew their minds and they sent it to be anlyzed. But I never found out what it was.
