Jay T. Cullen, Associate Professor of marine chemistry at the University of Victoria, Daily Kos diary, Jan. 4, 2014: […] Fukushima derived Cs has reached the west coast as of June 2013 by ocean transport but [the] concentrations of Cs continue to be well below levels thought to pose environmental or public health threats. There have been a number of popular press articles that […] report the timing of the arrival of the radionuclides but offer no perspective on the actual levels and the associated risk to residents of the west coast (e.g. link). […] About 93% of radioactivity in seawater results from the presence of primordial, naturally occurring potassium-40 (K-40) and rubidium-87 (Rb-87). The remaining 7% are radioactive elements deposited to the ocean from past atmospheric nuclear testing. […] Fukushima derived Cs was detected all the way to the coast in June 2013 with the highest levels of Cs-137 farthest offshore (0.0009 Bq/L or roughly 0.006% of background radiation) and lower levels of 0.0003 Bq/L toward the coast […] Ongoing monitoring will constrain the likely environmental and health risks posed by ocean transport of Fukushima derived radionuclides.
Note the professor changed the units to Bq/L for Cs-134 and -137, instead of using Bq/m3 as in the source document (pdf). The above amounts must be multiplied by 1,000 to get Bq/m3.
In addition, the figures provided by the professor appear to be inaccurate:
- According to the source document, it’s Cs-134, not Cs-137, that measured 0.9 Bq/m3 (or 0.0009 Bq/L if you modify the units like the professor).
- The professor writes that in June 2013 there were “lower levels of 0.0003 Bq/L toward the coast” — This amount is not in the measurements for 2013, the only mention of it was in 2012: “Levels of 137Cs equal to 0.3 Bq/m3 measured at Sta. P26 in 2012.”
Last month in a Vancouver-area newspaper Prof. Cullen wrote: “the natural level of radioactivity on average in the oceans is about 13 Bq/L, against which radioactivity resulting from human activities and disasters should always be discussed.” What is the basis of this claim that “natural radioactivity levels should always be discussed” when “radioactivity resulting from human activities” is mentioned?
“In the ocean (and human body) different radionuclides have different fate and toxicity,” according to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s senior scientist Ken Buesseler (who mentions his ability to be quoted in media reports downplaying Fukushima-related data).
Also be aware that fish can bio-concentrate cesium-137 at a rate of 100 times the level found in the surrounding water. For seals and sea lions it’s up to 1,000 times. (Source: IAEA)

No joke this is the real thing with real data from a 300 page Gov study, it boils down to this.
Fukushima polluted island of Alaska with the same level of radio-nuclides, from 2000 miles away, as did some 1960's atomic bomb testing in Alaska AT GROUND ZERO same place in Alaska.
What about the ocean 200 miles away…did that receive the equivalent of 20 atomic bombs, sure looks like it.
There are 2 links here. The first is a review of my report (further reviewed by me in yellow highlight) and the second is my report. The original 300 Gov report is linked and downloadable in my original report.
Folks this is as close to a smoking gun as I have seen. A direct, lab tested comparison of Fukushima to nuclear bombs.

I "got it" and laughed, slip or not it was great
hi stock,
maybe it is OT, but today i was on your blog and liked to give some
additional details for your banana thing:
As i've read on a pronukers site Potassium is mostly available at 3 isotopes which are K39 (stable), K40 and K41(stable).
Citing Potassium in our body (140g/body)after that report means
99,9% of all Banana K is stable and only 0,0118% is K40.
Right?
I tried to contact that author by his provided formular as he firstly declared we talk about 0,0118% K40 aff all potassium cited in that banana comparisons but suddenly changed to there was K40 only causing exactly your cited 4400 decays.
I've got a mail delivery failure note.
It was linked here but it is hard to search anything here, so i lost the link.
Still i have that figure in mind, 99,9% of all Potassium is stable. Maybe an argument….
How to comment on your blog? Didn't work.
Nice regards
99.9892% of potassium in all natural sources is stable. 0.0118% of potassium in all natural sources is K40. Which packs a whallop, but has a long half-life. Does account for most of our internal 'natural' dose (with radon contributing the most to lung doses).
Your body maintains a natural level of potassium in use or stored for use, will change that out on a fairly regular basis, it's an important nutrient. You can eat a whole bunch of bananas for every meal for a month and not meaningfully increase your interior dose from K40 – your body will just cycle faster, and you might end up with constipation and start smelling like bananas.
If you eat just 1 banana in which even 0.01% of the stable potassium has been replaced by cesium, you're getting that much EXTRA radionuclide inside. In addition to the banana's 'normal' store of K40. And cesium has a much shorter half-life, each atom is more likely to decay. It's excess dose. It is never NOT excess dose.
soern, comments seem to be working. I will beef up the banana debunk later

"Fukushima AIDS, part 3: Protracted radiation exposure, the immune system, and cancer.
Fukushima AIDS, part 1 was a general overview of the immune system, and dealt with how Fukushima is affecting and will affect it in the coming years. Fukushima AIDS, part 2: Chronic radiation sickness described radiation illness in its different stages. This post will deal with protracted exposure to radiation, that is, radiation that lasts a long time, rather than in one shot, and how this affects the immune system and increases the risk of cancer.
PROTRACTED EXPOSURE TO RADIATION
Washington’s blog (1) has a good entry on the effects of low-level radiation and protracted exposure. Fukushima has been emitting radionuclides into the air and sea for almost 3 years now. This is a fundamentally different situation from the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is also different from Chernobyl, which burned for 11 days…"
http://optimalprediction.com/wp/fukushima-aids-part-3-protracted-radiation-exposure-the-immune-system-and-cancer/comment-page-1/#comment-21004
After skull cancer, my immune system is walking on a fish line tight rope. With all the 38 readings were getting here, another station a gmc 320) was added to the area here in Henderson has had 39s. That is a dosimeter reading indicated. I don't plan to exist long. I can't believe, A) I survived it. B) That anyone so stripped of there former self could live very long. In 2 to 3 years cancer from exposure expectance at the current increasing levels will again rear its ugly head. So maybe 3 years tops even being diligent, be right back in with some other carcinoma issue. I refused the dental surgery to finish rebuilding my jaws, final bone alignment etc. no use in it. Too much pain for a life of just a few more years. I'll just have to learn sign language, when the remaining teeth are all too impacted for proper speech. I fear this sad tale reflects way too many peoples futures.
Great info NoNukes btw.
Hey there. If you haven't heard of the Rick Simpson method for curing cancer, or how amazing cannabis extract can be for melting it away totally naturally, then take a look here:

ontological I think its a good choice not go under all those operations and suffering but you shoudlnt give up your hope . I believe our mind is much more powerfull then we think . Your thoughts have a huge influence on your body . You must keep your attitude positive.
Try alternative therapies ,, i am not saying give up whatever therapy you have now , but you have nothing to loose by trying alternatives right ?
wish you strength and hope you get well soon .
Never say / think i am not going to make 3 years or anything . Check out kevin blanch s videos on youtube . He shouldnt be alive today according to doctors . Keep positive.
Don't forget music, art, poetry, laughter, and love.
We are Ontological. Your "tale reflects way too many peoples futures." Thank you for telling it. I wish that we could prevent this needless pain for you and everyone.
…sounds so very difficult. Thank you for sharing this…highlights the real consequences of
the destruction humanity has inflicted on our natural world and ultimately all living things.
Ontological, what an ordeal you have endured. Though my thoughts are similar to Artika's re hope and further procedures, your comfort is what I am sure all would wish. The body, after all, is just a shell. The spirit can take its rest in sleep and arise refreshed to the world we hope for.
1~11~5995 (out of 6000) Sabbath in this "Twilight Zone Apocalypse"!
So SAD about your cancer ordeal! The GREAT news is that you are still here! To ease your suffering try natural meds. Large doses of Vitamin D3 (We take 30,000 i.u. day. There isn't any toxic level in this form.) will greatly help your immunity and will make you feel more happy (like rays of sunshine in your soul!) Drink almond milk and eat almonds in other ways like with dark chocolate. They contain natural cyanide that kills cancer cells. Eat shitake mushrooms cooked or raw ~ best mushroom for fighting radiation! Taking calcium/magnesium/zinc (capsules or liquid) at night will help you sleep, heal bones, and lessen pain. Grow something NOW in your home or yard. The benefits of doing this I cannot begin to tell you!
The BIBLE = Best Instructions Before Leaving Earth!
We are praying for your complete recovery and our survival in this "silent apocalypse"!!
NoNukes, Pretty sharp information and link no doubt… 🙂

markgm / ontological There are many alternatives like DCA treatment that some doctors claim it could decrease up to 70% percent of the tumor size .
Artika, That's an interesting thing to study. Too bad it's one of those "unfundable by big pharma" deals, but they will no doubt be working in the lab on something with similar chemical properties using a proprietary chemical structure.
I suppose when it gets into cancer treatment, at that point, we are talking about a path along which we are attempting to deal with the DNA damage – thank you for pointing that out.
There is the guy in Texas with the patent for using something from urine for treating cancer cases, and a lot of positive anecdotal results. I forget him name.
markgm i just saw your messaeg now sorry , i sometimes get lost on this site
Yeah , you are right . Unfortunately unfundable by big pharma means almost nothing nowadays IMO . Unless its going to be an expensive medicine that they can make huge profits from , big pharma doesnt seem to be interested in anything . Or maybe they just cant put a trademark/ a patent on it and own all the rights so maybe THAT s the reason they are not investing / doing research research on it right ?
In any case , there are scientists who believe that it works so i say , why not try it ? It is not something harmfull . Nothing to loose.
Thanks for the kind words. Ok serious Schrodinger cat let out of the bag alive! One word miracle cure for the carcinoma family of bizarre cell development: immunofluorescence. It lights up in multi spectral monochromatic light each type of cell squamous, on through to the rapidly replicating cells that result from invasion ELEments. within 2 years I was stage 4 almost. They used a surgical robot to remove my right leg fibula, and vascular tissues to do cardiovascular reconstruction, of the removed skull bone/jaws all inside of 12 hours! I did not need radiation or medical oncology chemo. Pre surgery I used natural alkaline compounds to slow the aggression of the bizarre replication, in the oral and nasal tumors.
The fuel fleas are especially toxic, they electrostatically attach onto mucus tissue of an attracting charge, and soon after cause bone/soft pallet tissue invasions in months not years. So there is hope for a future, if we are allowed to have one.
An example of carcinoma cells in these spectral wavelengths here.

h.
Just what I thought, everybody say HI to the new(old) pro-nuker.
Hi AllenH… I ran into a pro-nuker (in disguise) YouTube site claiming everyone is panicking for nothing about Fukushima. It reminded me of the dead body on the ground, and the cops saying "nothing to see here, move along"
The Nuclear Cartel says: "Let them eat Yellow Cake"
It is important to quickly identify
the ProNuker when they come onto
the playground. Saying Hi we know
who you are and what you represent.
Leave them to play ball by themselves
We all know / and are learning
how to handle ProNukers here.
We get rid of one, only to have a similar sounding one take over, I would not be surprised if is him. By me saying Hi I am acknowledging he is a shill, yes. To call him out.
Nick, Cullen should go give a pep talk to the dead marine life. Oh, I'm sorry, they're already dead.
Study: Dead sea creatures cover 98 percent of ocean floor off California coast; up from 1 percent before Fukushima
January 02, 2014 (NaturalNews)
The number of dead sea creatures blanketing the floor of the Pacific is higher than it has ever been in the 24 years that monitoring has taken place, a phenomenon that the data suggests is a direct consequence of nuclear fallout from Fukushima.
In March 2012, less than 1 percent of the seafloor off California coast was covered in dead sea salps.
By July 2012, more than 98 percent of the seafloor off California coast was covered in the decomposing organisms.
NO more sea life means NO more oxygen in our atmosphere.
Human life is dependent upon healthy oceans, the life of which provides the oxygen that we all need to breathe and survive.
http://www.naturalnews.com/043380_fukushima_radiation_ocean_life.html
Hi PKJN, notice the above article from January cites enenews.com as a reference? Here's the initial report from Dec. 11th which is composed solely of direct quotes from the study and national geographic's report on the study (unlike the link you posted which claims "the data suggests [it] is a direct consequence of nuclear fallout from Fukushima"):
http://enenews.com/study-dead-sea-creatures-covered-98-of-seafloor-last-year-150-miles-off-california-coast-had-been-less-than-1-previously
Study: Type of dead sea creature covered 98% of ocean floor last year about 150 miles off California coast; Unprecedented, was below 1% prior to event — ‘Major’ changes began in spring 2011
"The highest sea-floor coverage by detrital aggregates measured throughout the 24-y time series occurred between March and August 2012, when salp detritus ranged from <1% cover in early March to a high of 98% cover on 1 July (Fig. 1E). This was the only measurable deposition event of salps observed during the entire time series."
I want to see pictures of this ..are there any ? I believe it but dead life would cement what is going on
@clam…the term the experts used was "sea snot" because the creatures had decayed and gathered on the sea floor. I am not sure how that would look in a photo.
Photo and video:

Tracking a rising BG with a rising RADCOM NORMAL is EPA math as I see it. The U.S. could slowly go to 500 BG with the RADCON level following right behind, and netc could still be showing a GREEN map? Just don't get that yet…
Good point…I wondered about that myself. You might want to go into the http://enenews.com/forum-post-radiation-monitoring-data-april-30-2012-present
as they discuss the data.
They nuked the Pacific Ocean. The fallout is all over North America.
They underestimated the risks. They underestimated the potential consequences. They cut corners on safety to maximize profits. They are trying to downplay the actual consequences.
They control the media. They try to control the science. They accept NO financial responsibility.
How long can they conceal what they did? When people start to drop like flies? When their own children get sick?
Associate professor Cullen make some errors apparently. Why? Write letters to the editor.
@Socrates: "They control the media. They try to control the science. They accept NO financial responsibility".
I feel they are beginning to realize just how much we really do understand, no doubt more than some of their own nuketards. They are desperate, the more propaganda they roll out the louder the laughter.
Mr. Cullen makes it all sound so benign. Wonder if the died-off species got the memo.
Many are reporting dead zones, some are reporting flourishing, other reports are whales & massive dolphin pods acting strangely.
If any of the alarming geo-data I have reviewed is even close to accurate, reflections of the ancient extinction begin to illuminate phantasms of old school when I was educated about this ancient calamity, so similar to todays current circumstances. I presume the oil spill may have prompted this well done report.

@7:00 reactor 4 looking pretty orderly over there … only "trace amounts" of rads in the USA…lol
I read the diary. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but is he not assuming a sample or series of samples are fully representative of the entire ocean? I didn't see where the samples were taken. Are they taken from known possible "hot spots"? Or are they still clinging to the "the ocean absorbs all the radiation equally"? We need to monitor the food chain and what that means is, developing new technology to do this extensive testing, which I haven't heard about yet.
I don't think that word means what you think it means!
"Ongoing monitoring will constrain the likely environmental and health risks posed by ocean transport of Fukushima derived radionuclides."
Constrain:
: to limit or restrict (something or someone)
: to use pressure to force (someone) to do something
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/constrain
So can one of you nuke supporters explain the methodology used in the presumption that monitoring in some way will reduce the levels of radioactive contamination. Did Jay T. Cullen use the scientific method to prove this claim or did he just pull words out of a hat?
Ha! That is quite a twisted thought now that you point it out. Cullen participated in the WHOI sampling off Fukushima, and turned his papers in. He wrote about it on DKos (how not-concerning the contamination is), citing Buesseler. When I pointed out that polonium-210 is NOT "the most common radioisotope" in the world's oceans, you'd have thought I just explained to him that Santa Claus is a scam. Three or four times I invited him to do the Google for himself so he wouldn't have to blame me, but he wouldn't.
Any scientist making absolutist assertions about something like contamination – and what dangers it may or may not pose to humans and other animals – should have at least a modicum of expertise in health physics, or should invite an author to make those assertions who does have that expertise. And when the not-qualified asserter refuses to even confirm for himself (easy, a 3rd grader could do it) when called on a glaring error. Errors don't disappear from a scholarly work just because the scholar doesn't like the fact that he got corrected on the error.
It should certainly raise eyebrows, at any rate.
Yes it should! 🙂
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OL4dHAJdhlE
– used in a sentence , The truth about Fukushima is being constrained.
Jay Cullen has responded to the factual inaccuracies of this article, and has requested that enenews.com take this article down.
You can read Cullen's correction of the inaccuracies in this article on his Daily Kos blog posting, here:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/01/10/1268742/-Misinformation-on-Fukushima-Energy-News-Misleads-its-Readers
Dailykos?! Who the hell here would have anything to do with Dailykos? The author said he tried to register to rebut what was said here and he didn't get the confirmation email. And he stated this like obviously it's the site's fault and we got here through some vast right wing conspiracy.
Because it was stated on this site that some of the figures he provided "appeared" to be incorrect and not WAS incorrect, they got sand in their vaginas and are calling us all sorts of not nice names. I'm sure they'll be coming on here calling us all racists.
Hippa, yes he corrects the information, which is worthless in time and energy, since the ocean and his sampling are meaningless. Anyone with a brain knows that the entire ocean, every square inch, along with every (all) current tract would have to be read at the exact same time for verifiable evidence of radiation flows and strengths reaching the west coast etc..
No wonder they passed all the secrecy laws…this is not science.
Time for a seance for science.
Fukushima ain;t that bad. Shill enough and folks will forget science and revert to superstition.
Methinks we is already at that point.
So why bother to spend zillions on cancer research?
Isn't most of what scientists do all for naught from here on?
If the corporate world decides our fate, why not just read your daily horoscope instead of ENENEWS?
Fukushima is about how even the scientific method can become suspect.
So why bother?
Point is, MOST people don't have the cojones to deal with reality, so they make up their own. Just like TEPCO and much of Japan.
Sick ecosystems? What? Do economists systematically get sick of science? Yup.
The scientific method is never suspect because ultimately either a hypothesis is proven or disproven, either way, the scientific method is used regardless of the outcome. You may not like the results but it is what it is.
socref, false! 🙁
There are many studies which purport to use the scientific method, but have been proven to be pseudo-science with many flaws in the scientific method into order to promote non-scientific outcomes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You know I've burned a lot of generator gas
O' Lord, I've paid a lot of Coal energy bill’s
But I never touched nothin’
That my wallet couldn't kill
You know, I've seen a lot of people walkin' ‘round
With Plutonium tombstones in their eyes
But the Nuclear Shill pusher don't care
Ah, if you live or if you die
God damn, The Nuclear Shill Pusher's
God damn, I say the Uranium Pusher’s
I said God damn, God damn
The NRC Pusher men
You know the Wind and Solar dealer, these dealer's are men
With natural power being none polluting they send
Oh but the IAEA Nuclear pusher's are monster's
Good God, their not natural men
The natural power dealer for a nickel
Lord, will sell you lots of sweet electricity dreams
Ah, but the Nuclear pusher ruin your body
Lord, he'll leave your, he'll leave your Cesium mind to scream
God damn, the Nuclear Pusher’s
God damn, God damn the Uranium Pusher’s
I said God damn, God, God damn
The NRC Pusher men
Well, now if I were a wiser president of this land
You know, I'd declare total war on the Nuclear Pusher men
I'd haul their ass's to the Hague , and I'd jail them if they try run
Yes I'd expose'em on Enenews.com and Twitter, not for fun
God damn
The NRC Nuclear Pusher’s
Gad damn The TEPCO Pusher’s
I said…
Nuclear Crimes and the scientific method/theory! 🙁

Appreciate the follow through on this. Look what the Age pf
Enlightenment brought us with the Scientific Method. God
Damn the Nuclear Pusher Man using the Scientific Method.
I would trade any day all the progress of our current civilization
and go back to the Stone Age if we could put the Genie of Nuclear
back into the bottle.
Finding the Genie inside the bottle was one thing.
Letting the Genie out of the bottle was another thing. 🙁
Allowing the Genie to run about the planet without a chaperon was idiotic! 🙁
Then allowing the Genie to have babies all over the Earth's surface was insane. 🙁
Looks like we humans granted this Nuclear Genie his/her very own 3 wishes… 🙁

He never mentions little things like plutonium, uranium, or the potential criticality event that we are facing… Perhaps he's right about other points, or perhaps he's just another [pseudo]skeptic.
Read a similar article in Scientific American and we should understand science promotes science. Cancer rates have skyrocketed since 1945 and after the application of Nuclear Technology around the globe.
If Japan has a population of 127,000,000 and for every 3 people that die one dies form cancer that means 31,750,000 people alive in Japan today will eventually die from cancer. 🙁
What happened to Japan in 1945 and how many Nuclear Reactors were installed on their island?
After 9-11 the emergancy workers were told the air was safe and now all involved have health complications and/or cancer. Radiation signatures were found on the 9-11 site in the rubble.
So now, who are you going to believe?
Another typical pronuker doublespeak
article. What do you think about it?

"right about other points."

"We Are Quantum…
I've joined the playground about a month ago, and almost got in trouble! And was labeled "Pro-Nuke," because I was bringing up differing information that was attempting to quell the fears about how bad the radiation on the west coast is currently; to be clear, I know we are in for a doosy, but as is the case with any subject, especially contentious ones, there tends to be hype, opinions, and misunderstandings on all sides.. I'm just attempting to come to a clear picture, like youz guyz.
I'm without a doubt on the side of common sense and the Earth, and I can't believe these f*ckers have built these death machines, on fault lines, near the ocean, with a measly diesel back-up generator between us and oblivion. It's fucking preposterous, beyond short-sighted and STUPID. One Earth-bound, direct, X-class blast of CME from our sun, and we could be looking at a whole planet of 'dirty bombs' being set off.
And while we're at it, let us share any valuable and life saving info, while we continue to uncover how bad our current situation is:

"In supplement form, citrus and apple pectin have been shown to bind to and remove radioactive materials such as Cesium-137 from the body. Apple pectin is known to draw radiation from the body. Russian doctors have found apple pectin to be among the most effective means for protecting against radiation when consuming contaminated foods is unavoidable. Pectin, along with vitamins and minerals, eliminates radionuclides ingested from foods."
http://naturealmom.com/15-ways-to-naturally-protect-your-family-from-fukushima-radiation/
"According to Dr. Christopher Busby, Science of Secretary at ECRR (European Committee on Radiation Risk) –>> Supplements for the body human: for adult 800 mg Calcium/ 350 mg Magnesium – blocks absorption of radionuclides strontium, plutonium and cesium. The ratio is important (webmed recommends even higher amounts of calcium, just remember to keep the ratio calcium/magnesium, and D3 helps with calcium absorption (about half that for a 10 year old child) PLUS antioxidants and minerals, micro-minerals… What I do: Vitamin C, 3-5 grams aka 3,000 – 5,000mg/day and B-complex, Antioxidants: A, E, D3…. broad array of Minerals (Mousseau, Chernobyl, Bird studies: anti-oxidants help the body remain more resilient to the effects of contaminants)."

And I said 'perhaps' he is right about other points; he links to [apparently independent] sources of information, some experts (not officials, I don't think) who have done their own testing. Whether or not each of those folks conclusions are anywhere near valid, we'd have to look deeper.
It's important to look at all the info clearly, and not think that everyone who provides info to the contrary is a paid shill, or pro-nuker. They could just be regular people… I dunno, just sayin
It seems disingenuous to be focused on the tide bringing in contaminants. When the ocean evaporates, the humid air wafts in and largely precipitates where? The Rocky Mountains.
Consider the story link below which describes rainborne deposits which can be wiped off a surface after a fresh rain. The wipes are then placed near a radiation meter, and found to have HIGH or DANGEROUS levels.
A lot of this concentrated radioactivity can be attributed to radon progeny in the decay chain. But the big question is, can all of it? It seems remarkable if so, that merely wiping down your car after a rain is enough to create a dangerously radioactive artifact! Can we no longer drink fresh rainwater?
Here is the link:

They are busy passing local laws that prohibit drinking or even collecting rain water in a barrel. I know sad, but they have known the rain is toxic, Has been for years, now extreme radiation. Thanks for the post. As a kid I used to wonder if mosquitoes were sensitive to radiation. We had an observatory where in the season you could hear them whine while in flight everywhere all around! Extinction rates ever increasing world wide, and now Fukushima. I tell people on the close 'em all now issue, any new major accidents in the future will only add to a problem that is already bad enough.
Hmmm… I wouldn't mind one bit if mosquitoes went extinct. And ticks. And several other ridiculously nasty-looking blood-sucking pests. Doing the extermination with radiation isn't very well targeted, and will kill far too many life forms we like and need. Sort of like DDT, but worse.

In its entirety, my response to Cullen's DKos bent-nose diary (in several parts, sorry for length, but I was only going to reply once) –
Oh come now, Jay. Your professorial nose gets bent way too easily. Enenews is an aggregator site, with occasional admin-generated observations in the short synopses offered to the links. Sources may or may not be solid, that's for the reader to decide. By going to the links. Comments may or may not be useful or utterly inane, depends on the commenter. Sort of like here, but with a lot more tin foil. [Shrug.] It's not that difficult to gage what a website is and who participates, deal or not deal accordingly. Are we not adults?
You wanted to argue in your original diary when I pointed out the error you believed Buesseler couldn't possibly be wrong about. Polonium-210 is #10 on the list, not #1. I even explained WHY it's always going to remain down the list. This was information you didn't previously know, but I did. You just believed what Buesseler said, and I called you – and him – on a very obvious error. That has since been corrected. Good, it's the right thing to do.
You also wanted to argue that cesium can't bioaccumulate because it's biological half-life was too short. Despite my offering of link upon link to research into the long-known phenomenon of cesium bioaccumulation. I'm glad you're thinking differently about that now too.
(Continued…)
(Continued…)
You chose to change the m<sup>3</sup> designation to Bq/L in your presentation enenews took issue with, you say because liters are more familiar to people. That's garbage when talking about the volume of the Pacific Ocean (people don't drink it, you know), and pretty much the same thing as throwing curies, becquerels, cpm and sieverts vs. rem around just to confuse things. Because that kind of confusion has worked so well for so long to keep people overwhelmed with factors of ten in All Things Nuclear.
You did say that strontium would be an issue if there were any, which you didn't look for in your samples, presumably because your 'helpers' in the nuclear industry claimed there wasn't any. We all know better than that now, don't we?
You've been selling a deception that both the nuclear industry and the governments of more than a few nations (including ours) wish to spread widely in order to save important industrial/food supply segments of their economies. The deception will end up killing people, though everyone in industry and government who knows that is willing to absorb the population losses over time.
(Continued…)
…Depersonalizing it statistically – what industries and governments do with "Cost-Benefit Analyses" – doesn't make it less of a moral and ethical offense. But you (and all the oceanographic et al.s doing the sampling/testing work) didn't even do that much. You've simply asserted that it's not dangerous and will probably never be dangerous. To anyone or anything.
There is no 'scientific consensus' about this. Many scientists and engineers with as many or more sheepskins as you say just the opposite. Who is the public supposed to believe, and what makes that belief anything other than mere belief-in?
We NEED someone to keep close track of the contamination, and we NEED our government agencies to protect us from the damage it will cause. We need factual data and honest assessments from people who know, on both sides of the 'consensus' divides for all of it. Attempts to deceive us into happily eating high-level nuclear waste for dinner just might motivate us to decide for ourselves that we don't NEED any of you.
I am not eating Pacific seafood anymore. Others all over the world may decide they won't eat it either. Our choice. Telling us we're stupid for not eating it is pointless. Deliberately deceiving us is infuriating. You will have to grow a thicker skin if you want to sell deceptions for a living, because there are lots of folks out there who will take issue.
I'm one of 'em.
THANK YOU JoyB.
You're welcome, zogerke. Cullen's first diary in November came wrapped in the ridiculous Buesseler error. The reaction to my correction (polonium-210 is NOT the most common radionuclide in the oceans) drew such an absurd amount of self-important bluster that it honestly blew me away. Whoa. And they want to call this "science"?!?
…then they'd damned well better grow some thicker skin. Not being radiation 'experts' of any variety, I can easily understand them not knowing this. I can even understand being misled by some up-to-no-good dastardly nukes paying for the privilege. I can not understand not looking up the very most basic data before you published, or fighting about it in public with someone who does know better once it's out there. That's just plain dumb.
It's not about arguing interpretations of data, per what it supposedly "means." It's about the data. If your data has been skewed wrongly by a sneakily inserted lie, all it "means" is that you've bought a lie and everything underneath it needs serious re-examination. Other lies and misconceptions are likely to be there because you were dumb enough to buy the first one wholesale. Self-preservation alone should have taught them that by now.
I find it sad that the learning opportunity has been squandered by oversized egos. Ah, well. You'll have this…
joy: squandered by oversize egos, sure, but how about also the political pressure to downplay? and keep it safe while looking good?
I honestly don't know whether these folks were subjected to political pressure beforehand. You'd have to ask them about that. And honestly, from the papers I've read (and the errors in data points later sold to the public), it looks to me a lot like they were under some hefty thumbs at the time and didn't even know where they were being manipulated.
They aren't radiation specialists, no matter how carefully their samples get tested. For that, they need radiation specialists. Who aren't always trustworthy, unfortunately.
To bring a proper charge against the high contracting parties to this continuing poisoning on out of our environment would require a grand jury to hear the allegations and make a call.
Is it a case of aggravated heinous battery using a nuclear chemical that is a mutagenic, carcinogenic toxin? Is this an instance of attempted murder? How about attempted genocide?
The weak point of this legal question is, we do not have the authority to issue our own money. The people who built these machines of genocide, are holding our purse.
To get hold of the issue of money, labor will need to STRIKE THEM OUT.
Can we ask ourselves, "Are they establishing a poison fist here? Could this mass poisoning be anything other than intentional?
Might they be setting us right to take out the atmosphere?
Might we not be facing the abomination of desolation here?
