Zero equals two. Two workers die at Fukushima plant SINGAPORE, April 4, 2011 The Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) and the IAEA on Sunday announced the death of two workers at the site of the quake-and-tsunami-hit Fukushima Daiichi atomic energy plant. Neither side spelt out the exact cause of the deaths. The maintenance pit of Unit 2 reactor, where highly radioactive water spilled into the sea through a crack, is photographed after pouring the concrete into it to keep from further leak, at Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant. www.thehindu.com/news/international/article1597069.eceFukushima workers prepared to die; don’t even know how much radiation they’ve been exposed to - 1 Apr 2011 12:44 PM www.grist.org/list/2011-04-01-fukushima-workers-prepared-to-die-dont-even-know-how-much-radiat

I read quite an interesting article about RCMP gangstalking and a federal employee who had some things to say about the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). PRESS COMMUNIQUE TO BE RELEASED JANUARY 6, 2011 FREE TRADE WHISTLE BLOWER SHELLEY ANN CLARK UNDER ATTACK IN OTTAWA The “mainstream” national media won’t touch her and lawyers and politicians will not sue her. Shelley Ann Clark is the Federal Civil servant with 30 years experience who worked in the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Negotiations Office as an Executive Assistant to the third highest ranking negotiator on Mulroney’s team. Between 1986 and 1988 Clark was ordered to falsify and eventually shred briefing papers designed to mislead provincial premiers as to what was really being given away in the Free Trade Agreement (FTA). In March 1988 she was ordered by her boss to secretly remove key documents from the Free Trade Office to the trunk of his car. While screening the material to be removed, Clark came across a “Step-by-Step Implementation Scheme” that would eventually lead to the merger of Canada and the U.S.A. We are now in 2010, and even though there was no media fanfare announcing this event, IT HAS OCCURRED. You are seeing evidence everywhere as more and more American owned businesses are moving into Canada and forcing Canadian businesses to shut down. You can see it in the privileges that American businessmen are receiving when investing in Canada. Favoritism towards American investors is in evidence. Speak to Canadians who are trying to invest and assume they will receive the same privileges as their American counterparts. Listen to Paul Hellyer’s speech that he gave to his audience when he launched his Canadian Action Party in 1997.

Toxins found in drinking water below Rocketdyne test site 2005-08-26 / Front Page Part one of two... In 1996, Boeing acquired Rocketdyne. Earlier this month, Boeing sold Rocketdyne to United Technologies for $700 million. The sale included Rocketdyne’s headheadquarters in Canoga Park but didn’t include the Santa Susana Test Field. The work being conducted on the 2,668 acres in the Santa Susana hills was under such tight security that even a partial meltdown of a nuclear reactor core in 1959 wasn’t fully disclosed until 20 years later. Some scientists estimate that the accident may have released more radioactivity than the Three Mile Island meltdown. And even though the toxic and radioactive residue left behind by the California-based aerospace company is no longer secret, many Simi Valley residents say that both Rocketdyne’s parent company, Boeing, and the government agencies overseeing the site’s $250-million cleanup effort are too slow in disclosing health information. Moreover, many feel Boeing has not taken full responsibility for the environmental effects that more than 50 years of rocket engine and nuclear testing by Rocketdyne has had on the surrounding area. www.simivalleyacorn.com/news/2005-08-26/Front_page/003.html

OpenMedia.ca has obtained a conference call between Shaw executives and shareholders. The call reveals that the telecom giant will go ahead with a metered Internet pricing scheme after the election. That’s why OpenMedia.ca asked each of the parties to outline their plan of action in our all-party Digital Future Survey. We received answers from every major federal party...with the exception of the Conservative Party of Canada. openmedia.ca/conservativesIt's an SP now, not an SPP. It's secret code for pee on ur head.

Wednesday, April 20, 2011 Powder to remove radiation developed Kyodo A chemist and a domestic company have jointly developed a powder that can capture and precipitate radioactive substances in water and that could be used in the ongoing effort to deal with contaminated water at the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant, the chemist said Tuesday. News photo Whiter than white: This powder developed by a Japanese chemist and an Akita-based company can capture and precipitate radioactive substances in water, including iodine, cesium and strontium. KYODO/KUMAKEN KOUGYOU CO. The powder, made of various chemicals and minerals, including zeolite, can remove radioactive substances such as iodine, cesium and strontium, according to Tomihisa Ota, a professor at Kanazawa University who developed it with Kumaken Kougyou Co., a pollution cleanup company in Akita Prefecture. search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20110420a2.html

Asbestos, Japan tsunami's other hidden danger Last modified: April 27, 2011 5:37 a.m SENDAI, Japan - Inside the chunks of slate and wallboard smashed and scattered by Japan's tsunami hides a health risk that has been overshadowed by contamination from a leaking nuclear plant: the odourless and nearly invisible threat of asbestos. Activists have found the cancer-causing, fibrous material in the air and debris collected from the devastated northeastern coast. Levels in the air remain within Japan's safety range but are expected to rise significantly once cranes and cleanup crews begin their work in earnest, scraping and shaking loose the minuscule, white fibers from insulation and fireproofing layers. www.metronews.ca/toronto/world/article/843710--asbestos-japan-tsunami-s-other-hidden-danger

Interesting. More -
"Chrysotile is the name used by the government-funded [GOVERNMENT-FUNDED!!!!!!!] industry lobby group. The Chrysotile Institute promotes white asbestos and attempts to soften laws restricting banning its use."

The 25th Anniversary of Chernobyl Apr 26, 2011 www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbTfMWSPQNIHalf-life: 24,000 years Transcript: You're watching multisource world video news analysis from Newsy. It has been twenty-five years since the tragedy at Chernobyl Nuclear power plant. Scientists, world leaders, and some witnesses of the chaos look back and ahead on the 25th Anniversary. NPR's David Greene spoke with one man who was part of the emergency crew that fought the fire in Chernobyl in 1986. "A quarter-century later, no one knows what their heroism cost. Of the 20 men in Kotlyar's fire brigade, four have died. One man had a brain tumor, another leukemia. And Kotlyar is convinced at least that those two died because of radiation." Memorials were held Tuesday across Eastern Europe for those who died. But in the wake of the recent nuclear crisis in Japan, Aljazeera reports the issues reach further than the medical risks of radiation. The report reflects the delayed alarms following the original explosion and the controversial care given to those affected ever since. "It cast a dark shadow over humanity, one unseen since the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. But, unlike Japan's Fukushima nuclear crisis, Chernobyl's real lesson is not about nuclear-plant safety. It is about official arrogance and indifference to suffering, and a cult of secrecy that allows information to be shared only among a narrow elite obsessed with stability." Russian President Dimitry Medvedev announced his plan to increase security of nuclear power stations at the G8 summit this May. The sentiment reflects the hopes of Ukrainian leaders to continue to use nuclear power safely. "Ukrainian authorities are optimistic about the future of nuclear energy. Four plants with 15 reactors produce nearly half the country's electricity. Controversially, the plan is to build a dozen more in the next 20 years." But while some look forward, PBS's Miles O'Brien points out the Chernobyl cleanup is far from over. "Ukraine is asking the west for $800 million to pay for a new shelter over the old sarcophagus that would last 100 years. Beneath it is all is a molten witch's brew of radioactive isotopes, including plutonium, with a half-life of 24,000 years.. Do you think human beings are capable of keeping this thing safe for tens of thousands of years?" Gennadi Milinevsky: "If he covers it, will try to keep it safe. But this place, this area will be still not good for life." Miles O'Brien: "Forever?" Gennadi Milinevsky: "Yes. Forever, yes."

Political Fallout: Will Germany Go Nuclear-Free? Posted: 03/28/11 04:15 PM ET After the war, with Germany divided between the four victorious Allies, the United States and the Soviet Union scrambled to scoop up as many German physicists as they could manage. Under US Operation Alsos, Operation Epsilon, and the perhaps less aptly-named Operation Paperclip, Americans lured German scientists overseas--sometimes creating fake employment papers to get around US President Truman's pesky new order, which forbade Americans from hiring Nazi Party members and supporters. www.huffingtonpost.com/katie-engelhart/post_1872_b_840877.html
