Alert: News Blackout America Becoming Radioactive ...

Source

The mainstream media and federalgovernment are conspiring to black out the escalating nucleardisasters in Japan and how radiation’s affecting  America.

UPDATE NOV. 19, 2011: RADIOACTIVE L.A. AIR 300% OVER NORMAL BACKGROUND — VIDEO

Radiation levels are increasing across North America

Chances are you’ve eaten radioactive food and didn’t even know it. Most people aren’t aware that radiation is contaminating America’s food supply right now.

The source for radioactive food? The TEPCO nuclear reactors in Fukushima, Japan.

Scrumptious Fukushima contaminated food — eat it today and tomorrow it’s sayonara

The food supply is becoming contaminated by Japanese radiation and the U.S. government—and much of themainstream media—is studiously ignoring the massive health problem that one nuclear expert claims is 70 times worse than the Ukraine nuclear disaster at Chernobyl.

Dairy, strawberries, mushrooms…testing positive for Cesium-137

University of California Berkeley (UCB) has discovered rising radiation in selected produce grown inCalifornia. Six items were tested: spinach, strawberries, cilantro, topsoil, grass, and mushrooms. Measured in Becquerel per kilogram. Five of six items in U.S. food chain sampling test have radioactive particles. [Source]

Radioactive Strontium Found in Hilo, Hawaii Milk

Since April 2011 the EPA and others have been finding radioactive particles in milk. The last report was in early may, then all information was blacked out.

The radiation released by the four damaged TEPCO reactors in the Fukushima Province has vastly increased. Radioactivity has now spread across most of northern Japan and as far south as Tokyo.

Plans are being made for a new Japanese capital and talk in Japan is that Tokyo—one of the world’s biggest cities—may have to be evacuated, even abandoned.

Meanwhile, the radiation is spreading through the ocean and deadly particles are being carried by prevailing winds to North America.

A radioactive isotope of strontium has been detected in American milk for the first time since Japan’s nuclear disaster—in a sample from Hilo, Hawaii—the Environmental Protection Agency revealed yesterday.

Tests for strontium are triggered by the presence of cesium isotopes, which have been found in milk from Hilo, Montepelier VT, and Oakland and in precipitation from Boise, Richmond CA, Salt Lake City and a few other cities.

The Strontium-89 was found in April 4 Hilo samples previously found to contain cesium-134 and cesium-137. [Forbes]

UCB nuclear laboratory scientist prepares testbed

Berkely monitoring rising radiation levels in US Food

UCB has been monitoring the increasing radiation levels since the earthquake and tsunami destroyed the Tokyo Electric PowerCompany’s four reactors in Fukushima.

The nuclear science lab has released dozens of reports, reports basically ignored by the American press.

Here are a sampling of some of UCB’s scientific reports on the escalating radiation:

Report 1.

Report 2.

Areas Where Food May Already Have Radioactive Fallout

In the months following the ongoing reactor breaches, rising radiation is contaminating the U.S. food supply. For the most part the serious consequences are being played down or outright ignored. Some health experts are expecting a rising cancer rate in the U.S. within a decade, especially along the West Coast.

Care for some tasty radioactive sushi with your green tea?

According to a special report posted by the website Rense.com, the most contaminated regions of farmland in the U.S. (based on established fallout patterns of known radioactive drift and charted by Euro scientific agencies) are: the entire Pacific Coast (note that much of the produce in North America comes from this region, especially California); northern U.S. States close to Canada, and Canadian areas close to the U.S. (including Toronto) ; Eastern States, Central States of the U.S., and Far Northern areas of Canada. [Rense]

More U.S. states find traces of radiation from Japan

CNN reports that radiation in America’s food chain is continuing to rise. Sporadic reports of what’s actually happening break through the media static periodically, but America is at risk of radiation poisoning and the mainstream media is focusing primarily on celebrities and the bickering among politicians.

Birth defects after Chernobyl – Fukushima much worse

[Note: For actual reports of the serious problem the U.S. is facing monitor the UK press, websites from Japan, South Korea, China and India. You can find them with a Google search.]

Media puts on a happy (glowing) face about radiation

After shutting down radiation monitoring stations across the U.S. as “unnecessary” the government and EPA officials continue to lull the American public into a state of soothing catatonic blindness:

Still, right now, U.S. health officials have emphasized that, at about 5,000 miles from the plant, the West Coast is unlikely to see any dangerous levels of radiation regardless of what happens in Japan. Radioactive particles disperse in the air, thus there is less of a hazard the farther away you are.

“Our finding is consistent with findings in Washington and California. We have expected to find trace amounts of the isotopes released from the Japanese plant. There is no health risk,” Gail Shibley, administrator of Oregon’s Office ofEnvironmental Public Health, Oregon Public Health Division, said in a statement. [CNN]

Yet the official statements fly in the face of the data that the nuclear scientists at UCB and other nuclear scientists in Western Europe have been obtaining from air, water, soil ,and produce samples.

Spirulina helps reduce damage from radiation poisoning

How to protect yourself and your family

Scientists have found that spirulina can help reduce the deadly affects of radiation poisoning. This is particularly important in the face of the ongoing nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan and the growing evidence amassed by nuclear experts that the radiation is continuing to contaminate parts of Korea, thePhilippines, Hawaii, North America and even Western Europe.

How to Protect Ourselves from Radiation ...

Self-Help: How to Protect Ourselves Against Damage from Radiation

Now that much of Europe is being blanketed with radioactive iodine, high levels of radiation in Tokyo and other areas of Japan have been confirmed (and seethis and this), and some areas of theUnited States and Canada – such as the Cascades – are getting hit with fairly significant amounts of radiation, it is time to revisit the question: how can we protect ourselves?

The initial answer is that we should reduce our exposure to radiation in the first place. For example, world renowned physicist Michio Kaku told his Japanese family and friends months ago that they should leave if they can.

If you live in an area receiving any radiation exposure, you should also take off your shoes and leave them by the door (Asian style) and use a Hepa vacuum to get rid of excess dust.

As nuclear expert Arnie Gundersen said in June:

[In a worst case scenario, for example, if the fuel pool at Fukushima reactor 4 were to topple over], I would close my windows, turn the air conditioner on, replace the filters frequently, damp mop, put a HEPA filter in the house and try to avoid as much of the hot particles as possible. You are not going to walk out with a Geiger counter and be in a plume that is going to tell you the meter. The issue will be on the West Coast, hot particles. And the solution there is HEPA filters and avoiding them.

Also, rain is the main way that radiation is spread outside of the vicinity of the nuclear accident.   As a parent who doesn’t want to tell my kids they can’t play in the rain, none of this is fun to talk about … but during periods of high radiation release, people might want to keep their kids out of heavy rain.

When a lot of radiation is being released, we might want to avoid milk for a couple of weeks or so.

Supplements

Nuclear expert Chris Busby suggested last month that people exposed to high levels of radiation – for example, those unable to evacuate away from Fukushima – take high doses of calcium and magnesium to blockplutonium, strontium and uraniumpoisoning.

Dr. Busby suggests that adults take 800 mg of calcium and 350 mg of magnesiumper day, and that children take the appropriate fraction of that depending on their weight.

Potassium iodide does protect against damage from radioactive iodine, but should only be taken if one is directly exposed to high levels of iodine, and you should never exceed the recommended dosage.

As I noted in June, specific substances have been proven to protect against poisoning from exposure to specific types of radiation:

• Prussian blue for cesium

• DTPA for plutonium, americium and curium

• Sodium bicarbonate (i.e. baking soda) for uranium

In addition, there is solid science proving that anti-oxidants help to protect us against low-level radiation. Specifically, low-level ionizing radiation causes our cells to produce free radicals, which produce much of the damage from the radiation. Taking anti-oxidants neutralizes the free radicals, helping to protect us against radiation damage:

• How to Help Protect Yourself From Low-Level Radiation

• Can Vitamins or Herbs Help Protect Us from Radiation?

• The Compounds Plants Use to Protect Themselves from Damage Also Help to Protect People From Damage

• What Foods Are Highest in Antioxidants? Some Inexpensive Foods Are Higher In Antioxidants than the Newest Pricey “Superfoods”

Meditation has also been shown to reduce oxidative stress (i.e. to produce an anti-oxidant effect).

Note: We should demand that fish caught of the West coast of the U.S. and Canada is tested for radiation.  See this and this. We should also demand regular testing of milk and water for radiation.

Radioactive Iodine Blankets Much of Europe … Everyone Points Fingers ...

Reuters notes that elevated levels ofradioactive iodine have been detected in Germany, Sweden, Slovakia, Austria, the Czech Republic, and Hungary.

The Stockholm News reports that Denmark and Poland are also experiencing heightened radiation.

NHK notes that Russia has been hit as well.

AP notes that the radioactive releases are ongoing:

An official [from the International Atomic Energy Agency] familiar with the matter, who asked for anonymity because he was not authorized to comment, said the release appeared to be continuing.

Some scientists have made some unlikely claims about the source of the radiation. For example, as Reuters notes:

Professor Malcolm Sperrin, director of medical physics at Britain’s Royal Berkshire Hospital, said any link with Fukushima was extremely unlikely.

“It is far more likely that the iodine may be as a result of excretion by patients undergoing medical treatment. Whilst such patients are carefully controlled, some release of iodine into the environment may be inevitable but would certainly be well below any limits where health detriment would even begin to be an issue for concern,” he said.

(It is unlikely that patients in so many countries would all start excreting moreradioactive iodine at the same time.)

The Czechs deny responsibility, but are sending mixed signals. As AP notes:

In Prague, an official at the Czech State Office for Nuclear Safety said he was “100 percent sure” that the radiation had not come from any Czech nuclear power plant — or from any other source on Czech territory.

[However,] speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to talk to the media, the official said tests are under way around the country to try and identify the source.

The Czechs are betting heavily on nuclear power and have plans to dramatically increase production ….

Poland is trying to blame Pakistan for the radiation; but a Pakistan government official denies the allegation.

All of the mainstream commentators dismiss Fukushima as a potential source. However, Fukushima is still far from any stable shutdown – and is still apparently undergoing nuclear reactions (and see this, thisand this).

So – while we don’t have any idea where the radiation is coming from at this point – it is too early to rule out Fukushima.

Mystery of the ‘alien corpse’ woman stored in her fridge for two years (why do they all turn up in Russia?)

If the aliens really are landing, this latest picture seems to confirm that their first port of call on Earth will be Russia.

After other claims of extraterrestrial life turning up in Siberia, the latest is from a Russian woman who says she kept a frozen alien corpse in her fridge.

The mysterious ‘lifeform’ was reportedly kept by Marta Yegorovnam in her fridge inthe western Russian city of Petrozavodskfor two years, while she took five pictures to prove its existence.

Intelligent life? The 2ft high creature was apparently stored in Marta Yegorovnam’s fridge in western Russiafor two years

‘Crash victim’: The ‘creature’ was said to have been retrieved from a UFO crash site in 2009. It has an enormous head, bulbous eyes and one stick-like arm

Heading for Earth? The alien in Miss Yegorovnam’s fridge has conveniently been removed by men from the ‘Karelian Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences’

The ‘body’, the third alien sighting in Russian in recent months, was reportedly retrieved by Miss Yegorovnamfrom a UFO crash site near her summer house in 2009.

She says she approached the flaming wreckage and crumpled metal which she described as ‘unbearably hot’ and near the twisted hulk lay the dead alien.

More…

• Lost in space: Researchers say aliens may be in our solar system (we’re just not looking hard enough to see them)
• ET? We have never met him, insists the White House

The ‘creature’ is two feet long, has an enormous head, large bulbous eyes and an appearance somewhere between a fish and a humanoid.

It also appears to have what looks like a string-like arm protruding from its body.

Proof at last? This screen grab shows an apparent UFO on the ground in Siberia earlier this year with what appears to be an unearthly being to its right and four other beings directly in front of the glowing craft

Naturally, Miss Yegorovnam did what most would in the same situation and stored the alien in her fridge for two years, according to Unexplained Mysteries.

The website reported that two men turned up at her home a few days ago and confiscated the corpse for investigative purposes, claiming to be from the Karelian Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

‘The possibility this could be a genuine alien should not be discounted’

The footage was unearthed by noted paranormal writer and expert Michael Cohen.

Mr Cohen, 40, said: ‘This could be an elaborate hoax, however the possibility that this might be a genuine alien should not be discounted.

‘Russia is a hotbed of UFO activity and possible alien craft has been tracked by both military and civilian agencies.

‘In all likelihood most alien beings would look strange to us, much like this specimen.’

This latest claim from Russia comes after footage filmed in August in the remote Irkutsk region of Siberia appeared to show a strange glowing craft and five aliens walking about in the snow.

Alien life? This strange ‘body’ was said to have been discovered by two walkers close to Irkutsk, Siberia, in a renowned hotspot for extraterrestrial behaviour

Students Timur Hilall, 18, and Kirill Vlasov, 19, admitted their ‘find’ was just a stunt and the alien was made from bread

In April, two students who claimed to have recovered a body from a UFO crash site admitted that the creature was in fact made out of bread.

Timur Hilall, 18, and Kirill Vlasov, 19, shot the video that showed the alien’s mangled remains frozen in snow, also in Irkutsk, Siberia.

The pair were questioned by police over their ‘extraterrestrial discovery’ but admitted to their stunt.

But not before their creation became an internet sensation, drawing almost 700,000 hits on YouTube.

Their find was deemed serious enough for the Kremlin to get involved and a spokesman from the Russian interior ministry confirmed the hoax.

Next-Generation, Honking-Big, Recession-Proof Alien Hunting ...

This spring, the Allen Telescope Array, or ATA, a cluster of 42 radio astronomy dishes about 300 miles north of San Francisco, became the latest science casualty of California’s budget crisis, when the University ofCalifornia, Berkeley, pulled its funding for the project. The ATA had operated as a listening station for alien transmissions for four years, and its loss was to be a significant hit to our hopes of finding little green men.

Within a few months, however, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute (which ran the ATA with UC)managed to raise $200,000 through public donations, enough to keep the telescope going for the near future.

With some luck (and money), the ATA will continue its search for extraterrestrial civilizations at least through 2016, when there will be a new, much bigger kid on the block: the $2.1 billion Square Kilometre Array, or SKA, a collaboration among 70 organizations in 20 countries. The SKA is essentially a bigger, more advanced version of the ATA. The site is undecided, but the blueprints call for thousands of dishes—each wider and more powerful than those of the ATA—to be spread over an area more than 1,800 miles wide. The dishes can point and turn in unison, picking up radio waves from vast tracts of sky and relaying the ATA to computing facilities with the processing power of 1 billion PCs. The SKA will be 50 times as sensitive as its predecessor, capable of registering booming “we are here” broadcasts from civilizations halfway across the Milky Way. It could also detect faint alien signals leaking into space, akin to those from airport radar or TV broadcast towers. In other words, the SKA could hear ETs even when they are not trying to call us.

All this for aliens? Not exactly. Unlike the ATA, which was devoted primarily to finding intelligent life, the SKA will help study general relativity, star and planet formation, and more. The ET hunt is just one of many aims. Lazio, the SKA chief project scientist, explains that the varied goals do not conflict: The same signals gathered while studying stars can be parsed for alien messages. “Anytime you point dishes at the sky, you get data that you might as well scan for ET civilizations,” he says. The SKA is also protected against penny-pinching. “The money is coming from many countries,” Lazio says, “so it’s less likely to just disappear.”

Starchild Skull: SHOCKING DNA Results Show, The Skull Is Alien- Update 2011 ...

The starchild skull came into the possession of Lloyd Pye in February 1999, the skull was found around 1930 in a mine tunnel about 100 miles (160 km) southwest of Chihuahua, Mexico, buried alongside a normal human skeleton that was exposed and lying supine on the surface of the tunnel. Radiocarbon dating results conclude the skull is 900 years old + or – 40 years

In 2011 the geneticist working on theStarchild Skull discovered that its mtDNA (the part of DNA passed only through the maternal line) was radically different from human DNA.

The maximum number of mtDNA differences between all humans is 120. The Starchild Skull has between 800-1,000. This is a partial result, but it is enough to be definitive: the Skull’s mtDNA is not human.

DNA has two types: nuclear (nuDNA) and mitochondrial (mtDNA). NuDNA is found in a cell’s nucleus, and it comes from both parents. MtDNA is found in tiny sub-cellular units called mitochondria that float in the cell’s cytoplasm (the jelly-like interior). MtDNA passes to each generation only through the maternal line.

The nuDNA genome is the total of all the base pairs (bp) it contains. Base pairs (bp) are the “steps” in the famous double-helix “ladder” of DNA. Each human cell has only one nucleus that contains a copy of the entire genome of more than 3 billion bp, and up to thousands of mitochondria, each containing the mtDNA genome of exactly 16,569 bp.

The DNA genomes for humans, Neanderthals, Denisovans (a new prehuman species announced in 2010), chimps, and gorillas are all the same approximate size. Therefore, it seems safe to assume the Starchild’stwo genomes will have approximately the same number of base pairs as humans: nuDNA of 3 ± billion bp, and mtDNA of 16,600 ± bp.

In 2010, dozens of the Starchild’s nuclear DNA fragments were sequenced, adding up to about 30,000 bp. That was enough to be clearly indicative of what the total nuDNA genome will be when it is fully sequenced, but at only .0001% of a 3 billion bp genome, it was well short of the 1% (30 million) needed to establish definitive trends.

Recently, four fragments of Starchild mtDNA were sequenced, totaling 1,583 bp. That is a whopping 9.5% of its assumed 16,600 ± bp mtDNA genome, and nearly 10 times the 1% needed to make reliable projections. Thus, there can be no reasonable doubt that an incredible answer will result from a full recovery of theStarchild’s mtDNA genome. It further indicates that the vastly larger nuclear genome will be even more incredible!

In human nuDNA, only 2% of the 3 billion bp work to keep us alive. 98% is called “junk” because it has no known life-sustaining functions. Mutations in junk are nearly always non-disruptive and accumulate easily, resulting in an estimated 15 million in humans.

In mtDNA, the exact opposite applies. The great bulk of its functions are required for survival, so every mutation is a potential death sentence. Very rarely does a mutation occur in harmless areas, and all of those are well documented. In fact, the physical structure of mtDNA is one of the best-understood aspects of human biology.

Geneticists have been able to utilize the extreme rarity of mtDNA mutations to create a “biological clock” that dates humanity’s origin—the time we became a distinct species—to about 200,000 years ago. During those 200,000 years we have gradually but steadily accumulated a maximum of 120 variations in our mtDNA. The oldest humans (natives of South Africa) have the most (up to 120), and later human types have fewer and fewer.

Humanity’s 120 variations have been divided into 33 subunits known as haplogroups (shown left). Those 33 are derived from seven ancient females whom geneticists calculate were the founding matriarchs of our species [related in the book The Seven Daughters of Eve by Dr. Bryan Sykes, 2001]. Thus, every variation between every haplogroup is well known and chronicled, and every human belongs to one of the 33 haplogroups listed below.

The chart (left) shows how mtDNA is analyzed. At the top is the Cambridge Reference Sequence (CRS), the mtDNA pattern arbitrarily chosen from one individual to provide the human value baseline. Variations from the CRS establish the count of differences in all related species. Among the 33 human haplogroups, no individual has more than 120 differences.

At the chart’s bottom are Neanderthal mtDNA and mtDNA from two samples from Denisovans. Denisovans are a new species discovered in Siberia in 2010 when a finger bone and molar from what seemed to be Neanderthal remains were routinely analyzed. To everyone’s astonishment, the mtDNA in both of the samples produced 385 differences from the human CRS—185 more than Neanderthals (whose 200 differences are only 80 more than the human maximum of 120).

With so many undeniable differences, and because mtDNA is so highly conserved and unerringly precise, geneticists had no choice but to classify Denisovans as an entirely new prehuman species closely related to humans and Neanderthals. [For comparison, the chimpanzee mtDNA genome contains 1500 differences from the human CRS.]

Now we will consider one of the four fragments of Starchild Skull mtDNA that has been sequenced, the smallest of the four at 167 base pairs. Below, it is compared to the human CRS, base pair to base pair, and below that is the top left half (outlined by a box) enlarged for visual clarity.

The blue bars show the differences in base pairs between the Starchild fragment (top line—167) and the corresponding segment of the CRS (bottom line—1269). This 72 bp part has 11 differences. In the non-enlarged parts are 95 bp with 6 more differences, for an astounding total of 17 differences between theStarchild and the human CRS!

The down below chart covers the segment of the human CRS that corresponds to the 167 bp segment sequenced from the Starchild. It extends from #1265 to #1432 (out of the CRS’s full compliment of 16,569). At this scale it is difficult to read, but it shows that among the 33 human haplogroups, those 167 bp have only one difference among all types of humans! [Three aqua lines highlight the differences: the first two lines are for differences in both of the Denisovan samples, and the third is for one difference in the Neanderthal and in one human haplogroup (HPT L1b) compared to the CRS.]

This stretch of mtDNA is one of the most extremely conserved in the entire genome, with only one difference among the 33 human haplogroups, one in Neanderthal, and two in Denisova. Yet, somehow, the Starchild mtDNA (see red arrow at bottom of chart below) carries within itself 16 additional differences! Even if multiple repetitions of this analysis should reveal that a few of its recorded differences were due to machine error or to human error, which can happen, the final total will still be mind-boggling!

If a human fetus were conceived with only one or two differences in an area of mtDNA Nature keeps so rigidly intact, it would abort spontaneously. Yet the Starchild grew to full term and aged enough to grind down the enamel of its adult-like teeth. Also, several experts have agreed the Skull belonged to an adult. This is convincing evidence that the Starchild was born, and lived its life, considerably different from any typical human.

Now recall that all four Starchild mtDNA fragments add up to 1,583 base pairs, which is 9.5% of what we assume will be a total mtDNA genome in the 16,600 ± range. Among the 1583 bp are 93 differences, which extrapolate to a shocking total of 976 differences!

[To extrapolate 9.5% out to 100%, divide 100 by 9.5 to get 10.5; then,10.5 x 93 = 976.]

Extrapolating a partial result for nuDNA usually provides only a tentative total, but with mtDNA we can be certain that extrapolating a nearly 10% result is dependably reliable. Why? Because the machines that sequence and analyze the results of that sequencing have become remarkably accurate. However, reading errors can and do occur, so that has to be taken into account. Assume 80 of the 93 are ultimately confirmed, leaving a total of 840 rather than 976. That is 720 more than any human on Earth could tolerate.

Errors or not, we can be supremely confident that the confirmed total of the Starchild’s differences will fall between 800 and 1000 bp, while all humans are 120 or less. Using the most effective techniques science can bring to bear to solve any problem of genetic heritage, techniques that are used with finality in court cases worldwide, the Starchild is shown to be nowhere near the ballpark of human or prehuman. This result is definitive.

Without doubt, without question, without fail, recovering both of the Starchild’s entire genomes will prove it to be so astonishingly far from humans that the only reasonable, logical, acceptable term for it will profoundly change human history forever…. ALIEN!
