This information, that
Fukushima is 10 million times more radiated, is now being disavowed by Japan. I will keep writing this:
I think we are being lied to! On the 26th, the fist signs of radioactive traces were found in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province on Thursday, China's nuclear authorities said on Saturday.An infinitesimal amount of
radioactive iodine-131 was detected in the atmosphere in northeast Heilongjiang Province. After conducting tests, China's
National Nuclear Emergency Coordination Committee (CNNECC) confirmed on Saturday that the radioactive material was from the
Fukushima plant.
In an extraordinarily similar or even corporate SOP fashion, just as after the first two weeks of the
Gulf of Mexico BP oil spill began to degrade in the national conscious, so too, Fukushima and Japan fades into a backdrop of war, politics and the urgency of money over the urgency of care for the Japanese people and Earth Mother. Shame. Shame. Shame. Japan is melting out of our consciousness and into the sea; quite literally.
On March 19, CNN reported that spinach and milk (for babies) 65 miles away from the melting reactors
were found to be contaminated. On March 21, the Japanese plant caught fire and workers had to be evacuated since the grayish smoke is full of plutonium, which they now admit using in their reactors. And “one particle of airborne plutonium can cause cancer.” March 24, The tap water of Tokeo, population 12.9 million, is now unsafe for pregnant women, babies and children. March 25, According to an international scientific group monitoring radiation around the world, the Fukushima reactors are emitting nuclear toxins at levels approaching those seen in the “aftermath” of Chernobyl. Chernobyl had 180 tonnes of nuclear fuel on site. Fukushima has 1700 tonnes of nuclear fuel on site. The Chernobyl reactor spewed out at least eight tons of radioactive poison, about 200 times more radioactivity than was released at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. By some estimates, its fallout surpassed the total released by all nuclear weapons tests up until April 19966.

At this rate, war mongers peopling our governments could point to nuclear holocaust as more humane, the every fucking carrion profiteering bastards!)
Representing in Des Moines this weekend, a line up of hate, fear, war mongery crouched in "national economic remedies / policies" and consumptive stupidity brayed forth in Tea Baggery and Rethugery. The real problems of world gone mad and the fate of the national community / common citizen was ignored in rehtoric and vitriol among some scrappy promises to make your take home pay larger through the destruction of Unions and to rid you of the immigrants that mean to ruin the "American way". Xenophobia is the hook with those who are called in this direction ... don't cha think? Mississippi
Gov. Haley Barbour delivered an all-out focus on economic policy and a point-by-point attack on the policies of the
Obama administration. In his southern drawl, he lashed at the Democratic administration for growing government at the expense of the private sector. * Funny, it looks like Obama has been doing very very well by corporate America! * U.S. Rep.
Michele Bachmann of Minnesota issued a populist call for conservatives to rise up in 2012 and reverse Obama’s economic and social policies. “Don’t look to Steve King,” Bachmann said, referring to the Iowa congressman and House ally who hosted the daylong forum. “The preservation of our liberty is far too precious to entrust to any mere politician.” The forum was held by Rep. Steve King, the would be McCarthy of the new age. And what of the Obama policies for energy resources? "Clean" coal mining (after some of the worst coal mining disasters in a century taking place in this administration), oil drilling (with the BP fiasco still smoldering over 36 permits were issued in the last month to begin drilling anew in our dying Gulf of Mexico;
the first was issued to BP! This would be the audacity of being a corporate hack, for the President.), natural gas mining ala fracking... the very dangerous and polluting process preferred by corporate mining companies now and (
as Obama's heavy contributors would have it)
nuclear power reactors! It's not cleaner... it's
fucking insanity~!
Chernobyl Survivor Natalia Manzurova, a nuclear plant engineer, one of the few survivors of the 800,000 involved in the cleanup of the 1988
Chernobyl catastrophe. She said, “The first symptom of radiation poisoning is feeling like I had the flu, then high temperatures and shivering. After suffering from a thyroid removal, sky high blood pressure, and epileptic like fits, the doctors called me crazy and wanted to put me in a psychiatric ward, but finally admitted it was from radiation.”
“It’s Nuclear Slavery.”
That is why she advised the Japanese to “Run away as quickly as possible. Don’t wait. Save yourself and don’t rely on government lies. They don’t want you to know the truth and are so powerful that executives aren’t accountable to the cleanup crews, finding ways to strip us all of benefits. It’s nuclear slavery. Because radiation stays in animals’ fur and can’t be cleaned, the 100,000 evacuees cried as they were forced to abandon their pets that all turned into dried-out mummies.”
What are you thinking about? Permaculture?
Permaculture is an approach to designing human settlements and
agricultural systems that are modeled on the relationships found in natural
ecologies. Sustainability?
Sustainable development (
SD) is a pattern of resource use that aims to meet human needs while preserving the
environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for generations to come (sometimes taught as
ELF-Environment, Local people, Future). The term was used by the
Brundtland Commission which coined what has become the most often-quoted definition of sustainable development as
development that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
Japan is melting into the sea.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Since the beginning of the Deepwater Horizon oil blowout disaster I have been working with patients from the Gulf States that are demonstrating a wide variety of serious symptoms of toxic chemical exposure and poisoning. I currently have over 200 families reporting to me. These families are terribly ill. They have shortness of breath, horrific skin lesions, neurological impairments, and short term memory loss. Their immune systems have been highly compromised, they are bleeding from every orifice, bruising is occurring spontaneously, their lung capacities are declining and their hearts are enlarging. Most are financially so broke that they can not even begin to afford the necessary testing for VOC’s or PAHs, let alone treatment. This truly is a public health crisis that urgently needs to be addressed.
Metametrix Clinical Laboratory is the lab of choice for these people and we are begging for doctors and funding to be able to help these people. Many of them are going to
die quickly, and are dying from undiagnosed poisoning. I assume because there is no insurance coding for “chemical poisoning,” that this is one of the key reasons they are being misdiagnosed with the flu, or mycoplasmic pneumonia, delusional, due to short term memory loss and confusion from elevated hexane levels, and Polyaromatic Hydrocarbon levels (from exposure to water, air and the vicarious spraying of Corexit.) Without a defined insurance codes, the doctors can not bill the insurance companies and be reimbursed for their work.
From the blood test results we have seen, the levels of Hexane in bloods samples is creeping up to the 95th percentiles in the population I’ve been seeing, indicating that the air quality in this area is contributing to the demise of the health of the local population. One of our dearest friends and friends, Lisa Nelson, was a lovely young woman in her 30’s. She died two weeks ago. All indications are that it was as a direct result of exposure to Corexit on the beach last September. I personally know of approx 20 other people who have died or whose deaths are imminent. These people are scared, have families and children who are also becoming ill as the air becomes warmer.
A large number of the people I am seeing were oil cleanup response workers for the Deepwater Horizon and they are now very ill. Per my observations, they are consistently being misdiagnosed by ERs, medical clinics and hospitals. In addition to the lack of the reimbursement insurance coding issue, few doctors and others in the medical profession are educated in Environmental Medicine and this is exacerbating the situation.
From numerous first-hand reports I have received, the spraying of the toxic chemical dispersant called Corexit goes on to this day on the beaches and open waters. This is completely unacceptable and must be stopped. I have been told by about over 1OO of the patients reporting to me, that they witnessed Corexit (being sprayed from a boat, a plane and I have my own first-hand experience of watching planes spraying at night in Applachacola and Panama City.
I would be happy to testify to the above statements and can provide more detailed information, if it is needed (within the legal framework of patient confidentiality laws).
Sincerely,
Trisha Springstead, RN MS
