Seismic Air Guns Will Turn the Atlantic Into a Blast Zone - Towed behind boats, seismic air guns map oil and gas deposits beneath the seafloor by shooting pulses of compressed air through the water every 10 seconds for days, or even weeks on end. But the deafening noise is also extremely harmful to marine life, including whales, dolphins, and even fish. Right whales and other marine mammals use sound to navigate, locate food, and communicate -- seismic blasts could disrupt these behaviors, or even deafen these animals. The government estimates that at least 138,500 dolphins and whales will be injured, or possibly killed, by seismic air guns if they are allowed in the Atlantic.

hile we're glad that BOEM included measures to protect right whales, and other marine life, we shouldn't be considering seismic air guns in the first place....

Peru's Minister of Energy wants to make it easier for oil companies to drill for more oil.
This is Shanshococha Lake in Peru contaminated by Pluspetrol's oil spill last year. This is what happens when the oil industry does 'what it has to do.'

Someone should investigate why it is that even to this day, 3 years later, the FDA still does not monitor our food supply for nuclear poison. Even though we were dumped on HEAVILY. So many citizen reporters doing their own testing have found it. Just look on youtube. This includes organic food people. Nuclear poison rain does not discriminate --it rains down on Monsanto's crops. It rains down on your neighborhood organic farmer's crops too.

IN REMEMBRANCE OF 3/11 (Reuters 2011) -"Winds are set to blow radiation from Japan's quake-crippled nuclear power plant out over the Pacific Ocean in coming hours, easing health worries after drifting toward Tokyo....At some point this will also spread around the world..With prevailing winds, Canada and the United States might be first to detect a cloud." (AND GET POURED ON WITH NUCLEAR CONTAMINATION) AND WE WERE POURED ON. WE ARE POURED ON. DAY AFTER DAY. AFTER DAY. Why was the pronuclear NRC put in charge of reporting out to the EPA and, in turn to US citizens, how bad the nuclear poison is on our soils, air, and water? Why is that? Someone should investigate that.

Remember that Pacific Ocean is right where our water cycle for our rain that feeds our crops begins. AND NOBODY IS TESTING. AND EATING NUCLEAR POISONED FOOD RESULTS IN THINGS LIKE THIS...NOT FEAR MONGERING...REALITY...A REALITY THAT WON AN ACADEMY AWARD FOR BEST SHORT DOCUMENTARY. HAVE A LOOK.

As bad as our food supply might be (who knows nobody is checking), what could be worse is sourcing directly from northern Japan near Fukushima and multinational food companies don't seem to have a problem with bringing that to your dinner table either...a little mix of raw ingredients potentially nuclear poisoned right into your "Made in the USA" food items never hurt anyone, right? As long as they can source nice cheap ingredients to help their bottom line, that's all that matters, right? Scroll through the corporate responses. Make sure you get through them all. http://www.newsforyourfamily.blogspot.com/2011/08/corporate-responses.html

Someone should also investigate why Woods Hole is the only agency testing the Pacific Ocean on a big scale. Are you aware that they have received funding from the US Navy--one of the biggest nuclear loving organizations of all? Many of Woods Hole's vessels were built by the US Navy. https://www.whoi.edu/main/history-legacy

You don't think risking losing that support would bias what they report out to us, do you?

Would you care to believe what Ken Buesseler, an ocean scientist with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, said about recent social media articles expressing grave concerns about Fukushima's impacts on the Pacific (and to people who use it) ? He said it is 'very alarmist and you can blame that on the fear of cancer or bad sci-fi movies from the past.' http://www.nuclearcrimes.org/buesseler.php

Or would your rather care to listen to someone who has no agenda. Someone who has a love of the ocean and who has done round the world yacht races many times over. "The Ocean Is Broken" Ivan Macfadyen said. "After we left Japan, it felt as if the ocean itself was dead. We hardly saw any living things. We saw one whale, sort of rolling helplessly on the surface with what looked like a big tumour on its head. It was pretty sickening."

"I've done a lot of miles on the ocean in my life and I'm used to seeing turtles, dolphins, sharks and big flurries of feeding birds. But this time, FOR 3000 NAUTICAL MILES THERE WAS NOTHING ALIVE TO BE SEEN" (emphasis added) http://www.theherald.com.au/story/1848433/the-ocean-is-broken/

Now who do you want to believe? Obviously very different accounts of the state of our Pacific Ocean.

Just to state the obvious: What is so troubling about having a pronuclear agency (NRC) and a myriad of other military industrial complex entities in charge of reporting out what is going on with our air, water, and food supply in terms of how much it is poisoned is they have an agenda to protect. They are PRONUCLEAR. They wouldn't want you to ever believe something could be wrong with an industry they love. Never, ever, ever. Just like this. http://vimeo.com/33724891

Now in California we have children with "mysterious" polio like symptoms. Can't move limbs. http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?id=9444995

At least one sailor on the USS Reagan that took a direct hit from the original nuclear poisoned cloud with the same trouble. Can't move his limbs.
http://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/2014/01/15/4490929/

And of course all the Chernobyl children. Limbs don't work there either.

By the way, while the military industrial complex nuclear loving agencies say they had no idea how bad things were, it becomes very obvious they really did. Why else were they busy popping thyroid pills behind the scenes on the USS Reagan but publicly were lying to all those young innocent sailors telling them all was well. They sure go the extra mile to protect nuclear don't they. Much more important than protecting the sailors suffering now. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=498955603556676&set=pb.150882998363940.-2207520000.1391887378.&type=3&theater

Military says it is not their problem. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=525476014237968&set=pb.150882998363940.-2207520000.1394552286.&type=3&theater

Mutation of DNA - Experts say chances of identical triple birth are one in a million to one in 100 million. Extremely "rare" identical triplets have been happening in California. The fertilized egg falls apart and the pieces recover to produce viable babies. One fertilized egg splits into three. Mutations of DNA via nuke radiation perhaps? Not fear mongering. It should be investigated because of people's bodies are being mutated because of the nuke industry. Someone should be held accountable.

Dec 5. 2013
- A Southern California woman has given birth to identical triplets, an occurrence so rare doctors have trouble determining its likelihood. Director of Sutter Women's Services, told the Sacramento Bee the odds of producing identical triplets without fertility drugs range from 1-in-1-million to 1-in-100 million, adding that the rarity makes it difficult to more accurately calculate the frequency of such births. http://www.fox8live.com/story/24143086/rare-identical-triplets-born-in-california

January 22,2014 - LONG BEACH, Calif. - Another Southern California woman has given birth to identical triplets
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/baby-baby-baby-california-woman-has-identical-triplets/

“The conception of twins occurs when a single egg divides into two and fraternal twins occur by the conception of different eggs. In the case of identical triplets, a single egg splits in to three separate eggs. Some may view these pregnancies as very uncommon. However, surprisingly enough, both couples conceived naturally without influences of artificial infertility treatments. Maybe in the near future the medical field will witness even more natural births of identical triplets and eventually throw out the notion that these types of pregnancies are impossible.” PERFECT! Let’s make mutation of DNA common place just like around Chernobyl!

The kids in California experiencing polio like symptoms should be checked for nuclear poison in their bodies.

The sailors suffering should get justice too. But how can they when they have already suffered so much? Have a look at this video. Lied to. Deceived. Lives ruined. How do you get that back?

The "beauty" of the nuclear industry poison is that it is subtle. Invisible. And manifests itself in so many different ways. So should we all be thrilled with the multiple births of identical triplets so rare that doctors can't even put a solid number on the occurrence of that? Or should we be saddened if one egg can't hold up and breaks into three over and and over again with many more reports like this over and over again? Society will decide.

But definitely the polio like symptoms is no good. Think we can all agree on that. Poisoning of food supplies and the air and water we breathe is no good either.

Setting the US "acceptable" rate of nuclear poison in our food supply higher than any other country so that the most nuclear poisoned stuff has somewhere to go is nothing short of insane.

The FDA says it is perfectly fine for your family to get 1200 bq/kiilo of nuclear poison in your food supply. For Japan it is a mere 100 bq/kilo. And from tests from Chernobyl, they found that the most vulnerable children started experiencing problems with the functioning of their hearts when they consumed as little as 50/kilo of nuclear poison.

Why is the US Gov allowing all this to happen? WHY??

Is this an I'm sorry from our government to Japan? We won't let your economy fall due to the destruction of your country by one of our companies---namely GE Nuclear who knew that those reactors could be faulty under high stress SINCE THE 1970s Never reported out on it because they were certain it would be an end to their business. http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/en/multimedia/videos/Ex-GE-Engineer-Highlights-Critical-Fukushima-Reactor-Design-Flaw-/

And the pronuclear NRC still thinks it is perfectly fine to have these same type reactors scattered all over our country.

So is that what the US government is doing? Saying we are so sorry to Japan....no worries....we'll make sure the most poisoned stuff still has somewhere to go--we'll feed it to OUR people! We have the sacrificial lambs. No problem! Just make sure you continuing loving nuclear everybody! Because that is what our government run by the military industrial complex also loves! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y06NSBBRtY
(In addition to GMOs--where they inject the DNA of pesticides--DIRECTLY INTO THE DNA OF OUR FOODS--for your family to eat!!! Would you personally choose to drink Round UP? and refuse to give us so much as a freaking label as to where that is in the food supply!!! Would you personally choose to have our American farmers harassed, bullied? Rent David vs. Monsanto some time--you know Monsanto--born right out of the military industrial complex too. Remember Agent Orange? Can't forget about fracking and all the other lovely things going on raping the land and people's health in the name of lustful greed with no concern for human life, the state of our planet, or anything living in it. AND THIS IS THE LAND OF THE FREE?? REALLY?? WE SHOULD BE HANGING OUR HEADS IN SHAME.

We should be ashamed of ourselves for having allowed this wrong doing to happen. For having allowed the military industrial complex/corporatism to take over our country. The next thing they will be saying is climate change has spun so far out of control that we have no choice but to geoengineer the sky over you. Cloud seeding and aerosol spray in the stratosphere will become the next big money makers. They'll sell the idea to the public --push it through university bought out studies and then plaster it all over t.v. to get people to believe it. But this is b.s.! The solution to climate change is not to dump more chemicals into our air, the solutions is to get the polluters to stop producing it! --oh yeah--that won't happen under current conditions--because the ones making the laws and regulations in our country ARE the polluters! They will never want to regulate their toxins!

Do you see it yet? Do you see the problem here?

But maybe we shouldn't blame ourselves. Those involved in the military industrial complex/ corporate take over of our country has spun everything out to make it look good for us ..."cheap energy".... "cheap food"... "job creators".. don't you want to love us??!!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY??? WHERE IS THE SANITY AND CIVILITY??? THE IDEA THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY MATTER APPEARS NON EXISTENT. THIS NEEDS TO TURN AROUND. PEOPLE DO MATTER. WAY MORE THAN THE GREED OF COMPANIES/INDUSTRIES WHO SEEM TO HAVE A STRANGLEHOLD ON OUR COUNTRY.

In President and Former General Eisenhower's speech on the military industrial complex, he says a lot of important things including this, "Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. (AND THEREFORE WHATEVER THE GOV BOUGHT BY CORPORATIONS/INDUSTRIES WANTS TO FIND IS WHAT IS FOUND BY THE RESEARCHERS AT THE FORMALLY INDEPENDENT UNIVERSITIES)

He goes on to say, "The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present

and is gravely to be regarded.

(he put this on a separate line --presumably to give it extra emphasis)

Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientifictechnological elite." http://coursesa.matrix.msu.edu/~hst306/documents/indust.html

IT IS EXACTLYWHAT WE HAVE NOW. A scientifictechnological elite community saying GMOS are fine for you, fracking is fine, nuclear is great too.

Take this for example. The nuke industry says low dose radiation is perfectly fine for you. They say this to keep their industry going so the dollars keep flowing in. To keep their nuke plants going in full swing. They paid MIT to say its fine for you. Then the nuke industry and everyone involved int he military industrial complex spoon feeds the great news to the public. Low dose radiation is safe for you! Job creator!! Cheap energy!!! Love us!!!! BUT WAKE UP PEOPLE--THE NUCLEAR INDUSTRY PAID MIT TO SAY SO. And have a look at the studies. Would you consider these to be good science? Seriously, have a look at these.

US to tap strategic petroleum reserve - The Obama administration will release 5 million barrels of sour crude from the United States’ emergency stockpile in what officials described as a “test” of the nation’s ability to respond to oil supply disruptions around the globe. The Energy Department said the move was necessary to verify how new pipelines and other infrastructure might affect the government’s ability to transport the crude out of underground caverns in Texas and Louisiana.

China suffers land loss from pollution - Soil pollution is a prevalent issue in China, and high levels of heavy metals have been detected in rice and vegetables. China's land survey results have long been a 'state secret', and many people are suspicious that soil contamination levels in China may be more severe than recently reported. China's Deputy Minister of Land and Resources revealed the national land survey results during Monday's State Council press conference, a first since 1996. The official said some 50 million mu (8.2 million acres) of soil is medium to heavily polluted and unfit for farming, but he left out many further details.
