Fukushima Like the TITANIC (Christopher Busby), August 13, 2011:

At 9:45 in (Transcript Summary)

Chris Busby [visiting professor at the University of Ulster’s school of biomedical sciences and scientific secretary of the European Committee on Radiation Risk, a think-tank -Bloomberg]

  • I absolutely don’t want to go anywhere near this because having seen what I’ve seen of radiation levels I’m too frightened to go closer to this site than 100 km… And even 100 km I’m not too happy about.
  • I was in [???] and there was a significant amount of radioactivity on the ground there, which i did not expect… I’ve been quite shocked by the amount…
  • Looks perfectly normal… but actually what you have there is an enormous amount of radioactivity and a lot of particles floating around the place, you just can’t see it…

    My vote is for the nuclear physics professor Tatsuhika Kodana, for Japan’s new prime minister!

    And a big thank you to Chris Busby for the work he is doing to raise awareness and raise the alarm over Fukushima.

    This is not the biggest nuclear disaster since Chernobyl – this is the biggest nuclear disaster ever. It is now confirmed that the bigger the nuclear disaster, the greater the silence and the more paralyzed the human response, apparently.

    Please also remember to sign the petition being circulated by people from Fukushima, calling for a 50-mile evacuation zone. I know the contamination has spread far wider than that, but 50 miles, or 80 km, is far better than the pitiful 20 km evacuation zone they have now.

    Thank you, Dr. Busby.
    But if Dr. Busby is ‘too frightened’ to go near Fukushima, things are really, really bad.

      We have already got plutonium in the uk! And surrounding countries… the question should be, how much more can we suck up before the effects becomes too noticeable to hide in statistics and hidden medical data as old busby pointed out!?

      Plutonium from Sellafield in all children’s teeth. Government admits plant is the source of contamination but says risk is ‘minute’
      “Radioactive pollution from the Sellafield nuclear plant in Cumbria has led to children’s teeth across Britain being contaminated with plutonium.
      The Government has admitted for the first time that Sellafield ‘is a source of plutonium contamination’ across the country. Public Health Minister Melanie Johnson has revealed that a study funded by the Department of Health discovered that the closer a child lived to Sellafield, the higher the levels of plutonium found in their teeth.

      Johnson said: ‘Analysis indicated that concentrations of plutonium… decreased with increasing distance from the west Cumbrian coast and its Sellafield nuclear fuel reprocessing plant – suggesting this plant is a source of plutonium contamination in the wider population.’ “

    Genie is out of the bottle no one knows how put it back. You would THINK the nuk industry would first learn how to CONTROL these nuclear Catastrophes and provide safe storage of waste before going forward with permitting 40 yr old plants to operate or building new nuclear plants. Chernobyl is still emitting radiation 25yrs, Fukushima who knows how long radiation will emitting into the atmosphere, poor Mother Earth how much can she take?? it took the creating forces billions of yrs to create a perfect planet its taken man about 66 to screw it up. Where will the next catastrophe happen?? It may be happening right now, who knows?? but it will happen!! Only two things are infinite:

      Through the release of atomic energy, our generation has brought into the world the most revolutionary force since prehistoric man’s discovery of fire. This basic force of the universe cannot be fitted into the outmoded concept of narrow nationalisms.
      For there is no secret and there is no defense; there is no possibility of control except through the aroused understanding and insistence of the peoples of the world. We scientists recognise our inescapable responsibility to carry to our fellow citizens an understanding of atomic energy and its implication for society. In this lies our only security and our only hope – we believe that an informed citizenry will act for life and not for death.
      A. Einstein, 1947 d.C.

    feel as mr busby goes to mention the root of the problem…corporate greed! i feel i should repost this interesting and on topic post!

    “this documentary has an English farmer going to the usa and talking to other farmers about GMO products and how they are marketed….oh and first though who does the PR for this mob??? Hmmmm! Lets have a quick look see, shall we?

    “WPP, through six leading UK PR agencies, has an unrivalled reach in the dark world of spin, with hundreds of clients ranging from multinationals with billions of pounds of turnover, such as BP and Shell, to more local but equally high-profile companies, such as Manchester United football club and Carlton TV.

    Although readers are never aware, the work of WPP’s PR division has a direct impact on the news and financial pages of the nation’s newspapers every single day. Carlton Communications is currently involved in a merger with Granada to create a single ITV, Manchester United is the subject of bid speculation, consumer giants Coca-Cola and Unilever are among the world’s biggest advertisers, while oil giants Shell and BP continue to attract controversy and the scorn of environmental campaigners.

    Here we examine the formidable breadth of WPP’s client list. ……………..”

    And this bits worth looking at

    “Burson-Marsteller
    Fee income (UK only) £18.4m – up 7%.
    The world’s biggest PR company and king of corporate PR, BM counts some of the world’s biggest and most controversial multinationals on its client list. Major fuss when the former head of Greenpeace, Lord Melchett, joined BM, which has advised Monsanto, the company behind genetically modified crops and the European biotech industry. Its clients include:
    Shell,
    BP,
    Exxon,
    Tesco,
    Monsanto,
    Unilever,
    Union Carbide,
    British American Tobacco.”

    Oh and this as well while im at it!

    “Buchanan Communications
    Fee income £5.9m – up 11%.
    Specialist financial consultancy, well known in media circles. In 2000 it delivered the highest income per head of its staff of all the country’s top 100 PR agencies after an earn-out deal struck with Sir Martin Sorrell. Its clients include:
    Independent News and Media (Sir Tony O’Reilly’s company),
    Johnston Press,
    Chrysalis Group,
    WPP.”2

      “WPP’s Sir Martin Sorrell says UK austerity programme is ‘the envy of Washington’
      WPP’s Sir Martin Sorrell believes austerity cuts are doing the UK a power of good, but what most excites him is the growing importance of data to advertising.”

      And this on the same article
      “There’s been a broad trend within advertising to be more targeted when it comes to consumers,” explains Alexia Quadrani, who covers the advertising industry for JP Morgan Chase in New York. “To do that effectively you need the data.”
      For WPP, it drove the company’s five-month battle for Taylor Nelson, a consumer research firm that was listed on the London Stock Exchange. WPP eventually secured the prize with a £1.2bn offer, knocking out rival suitor GfK and forcing Taylor Nelson to wave the white flag less than a month after the collapse of investment bank Lehman Brothers in the autumn of 2008. It’s also behind one of WPP’s most recent acquisitions – November’s purchase of a Colorado-based company called I-Behavior. The 83-person strong business collects data on consumers’ shopping habits and then uses it to model their future behaviour. Mad Men this is not. “

      AUGUST 25, 2010.Advertising’s Revival Boosts WPP
      Amid Strong Gains in U.S., Firm Posts 39% Increase in First-Half Profit and Raises Revenue

      “BY PAUL SONNE
      LONDON—A comeback in U.S. advertising helped WPP PLC post second-quarter revenue increases in all its divisions on Tuesday, the first time the group has notched across-the-board growth since before the recession.

      The results—which came as WPP reported a 39% net-profit increase for the first six months of 2010 and raised its revenue projection for the remainder of the year—are a sign that the world’s biggest advertising firm has turned the corner after a brutal downturn.

      The U.S. advertising industry plummeted during the recession, as big clients slashed costs and forced ad companies to cut their fees.”

      Advertising and media agencies lead growth at WPP, with US market up 9.1 per cent
      By Stephen Foster on April 28, 2011

      “Net new business billings for the first quarter were reasonably strong at £841 million ($1.346 billion), not as good as the first quarter last year, but well in line with the quarterly average last year, which was very strong and the Group continues to benefit from consolidation trends in the industry, winning many assignments from existing and new clients. The general economic situation continues to encourage a significant number of account reviews, consolidations and new business opportunities, particularly in media investment management.”

      just making it easy for ya max??
