Our own US Nuclear scientists are now part of the "coverup" because they are not stepping forward and demanding that Japan and TEPCO release data instead of radioactive pollution into the air and the Blue Pacific!

Amazing

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHERNOBYL

Today is the 25th Anniversary of the explosion at Chernobyl and we have learned nothing from it because we refuse to view our actions objectively.

“Those who do not learn from history are destined to repeat it.” -George Satanaya

Fukushima has not only repeated the egregious errors of Chernobyl, it has superseded them. We're getting BETTER at making BAD decisions.

In Arnie Gunderson' s latest video update, he is recommendi ng that people on the west coast (Alaska down to San Diego) avoid milk for the next 90 days.

Thank You for all the wonderful posts!
It's amazing that so few are really interested in what is a Bio-Disaster this is...

Forget Global Warming, it pales in comparison to what is still leaking into the Blue Pacific! and the damage it will cause to all humanity!
