I understand that many countries have the similar phenomena happening in the past few years. The most recent one should be the followings.

I practically grew up on the beach. It's not "normal" to see thousands and thousands of sea creatures wash up dead on the beach.

"Dead Zones" are areas in both water and air that do not contain enough O2 for the species in question, and so, they all die. Rather quickly too. Dead Zones have been increasing in both frequency and severity since first being coined as a term round about the year 2000.

And no, it is not normal or natural.

Anyone who has been outside over the last 10 years, at least, could have noticed a difference. Not those with their own heads stuck up their own arses, they still haven't noticed, apparently. I have noticed almost all of it, as I live in the countryside and am outside all the time, and as just one example, my friend who goes from the city to the east coast every year with his daughters said back in 2009 after returning from that annual trip that it was like a dead zone everywhere. A place that is normally teeming with life was like an erie scene from a movie or something, as it was just like a ghost town, compared to what it used to be like out in Nature. Birds, insects, land dwelling creatures: all strangely absent.

I noticed not because what I saw was missing, at first, but because in the winters of 2000 and 2001, during late January and February, I cried a lot. It's what happens when the realization (didn't even know it at first) that something just died, and, it was the very last of its' kind. Those repeated occurrences during the deep winter shook me, and have every winter since, some much worse than others.

This winter was milder, yet, there's not much left any more.

How it should be:

So here's what does matter. It DOESN'T matter. That's what matters, and it's the only thing that can matter. It doesn't matter if we have "ourselves" growing 26 types of potatoe or only 3.

That's what doesn't matter.

It does, for some archaic reason, yet it shouldn't. We could make it any way imaginable, and if it seems like stupid is where the money is, so stupid is what people become, then we know by example already that people will roll over and beg for "dog treats". We could have right now legions and legions of skilled and varied craftsmen, with fully automated everything, save those things that are better, much much better, when made by hand.

A world FULL of beauty, every direction we look, and I'm specifically not talking about the physical beauty of another, just in the architecture, the hand crafted musical instruments, the water ways, stone work, glass and flora and fauna and everything else.

You know we're not a stupid species. Souls range from ancient to newborn's, yet we've already been here a long time now, so, it's easy to maintain simple straight forward instructions. I doubt any have objections to us having a book, and I think we'll find that most view an update long overdue.

(regarding the "fear propaganda" you mentioned above: suck it up buttercup!!! I'M PISSED!!! MY BACK YARD LOOKS AND SOUNDS LIKE A FRIGGIN DEAD ZONE!!!)

[Red Skywalker]

This message should be removed. How to do it?

[Carmody]

I even started a thread, on how one can end the Fukushima radiation leakage, and terminate the radiation issue, period. The specifics of the method and the why of it's function. All in plain sight.

Anyone can test it's functionality for as little as a few thousand dollars.

How this could be done at Fukushima for about $1M us or so.

But no. No one pays attention to real and functional solutions.

I am the universe!!!

[Red Skywalker]

I am the universe!!!

Yes, me too. Our Universes almost are in synchronization. Except you are there and I am here.

[Earthlink]

I am the universe, you are the universe, and Carmody, well Carmody represents that within the universe which is the soloverse.

I can extrapolate more than this on this, but I'll just use what's here now:

How the radiation from Japan makes it to the east coast, the Atlantic Ocean, through the Panama Canal, I guess, is known only to Carmody.

[Lifebringer]

Fukishima radiation trail, heating up below? I've just as many guesses as everyone else (that doesn't know for sure) so "no" insults on my guesses please. Thank you.

[pyrangello]

The radiation is moving thru conveyors of ocean currents, one conveyor goes from japan up to Alaska, eat any filet of fish lately at any fast food joints, that's where all the fish come from, another conveyor goes straight to the west coast of the USA. The one reactor in japan that melted they don't even know where it is as it burned thru the bottom and is now radiating the ground water that in turns spills into the ocean .The other 2 reactors they are cooling with water and have run out of space to put the water so guess where that is going. I heard one interview where the amount of water RADIATED going into the ocean every 2 days is the size of lake superior here in northern Michigan . As for a solution that Carmody presented , any idea is one that needs to be entertained. Hell, the Japanese were talking about building a wall made out of ice to contain this stuff. One scientist said this will dump radiated water in the ocean for the next 30 years. And in another interview I heard that the reason why the Japanese govt isn't saying anything about this or any other governments is because they don't know what to do about it. Earthlink , do a little experiment in your bathtub and fill it a few inches with water , drop 2 drops of food coloring in it on one side and see how much it spreads and that's with no current. I think you'll get your answer right in front of you. The governments of the world have their head in the sand and we are all on the beach for the show. We are watching mother earth being wounded and polluted, heaven help us all when she decides its her time to get things corrected .

[ghostrider]

ionizing radiation went into the air in March 2011 , like a giant bubble , sitting there and the Earth turned , round and round , bathing in particles of Death , and as it falls back to Earth it contaminates the air , the water the dirt , the people , the animals , the flora ... four years now , and it will go on for 20,000 years , then it will be reduced by half ... evil men and their greed and lust for power have hurt our mother Earth like a dagger through her heart ... I hope on our next incarnation , we all meet together and unite as one to never allow this to happen again in our backyard ... love you all ...

[Earthlink]

Saying that no one knows for sure is just casting doubt out there like a big net, hoping to catch something.

What are ya, a fisherman?

And at the same time, just because someone wrote something about something doesn't make it so.

We need to adapt to the reality that there are more monies being spent on the fabrication of any and everything, than there is being spent on the simply printing of truths.

And it won't help us to continuously examine everything there is out there in the printed form, for, that will only cost us all of our time in discernment and nothing will get done.

Anyways, I think many of us have seen of Fukushima and not enough of dead zones, which are specifically low oxygen zones. Do any of you have any opinions on these?

[wnlight]

Radiation leaking into the Pacific Ocean is only one kind of pollution. Humans have been using the oceans as their toilet for a long time. They still are. Well, look for the Earth to flush that toilet in the next few years. I am referring to many, major earthquakes and volcanos and freezing cold that will make some real changes to our civilisation and to the interface between man and ocean.

our oceans are filled with garbage so thick you can almost walk on water, and Fukushima Plutonium along with the thousands of containers of radioactive material dumped off the coast of California, which have now deteriorated leaking their deadly contents... Throw in an enormous oil spill and then lets all gather the experts to argue which is killing the animals...

[Octavusprime]

I'm sure the recent oil leak in southern Cali didn't help the situation.

[Hawkwind]

Although Fukushima and oils spills definitely wouldn't have helped matters much, my guess at the principal driving force would be the large scale, long-term release of nano-particulate aluminum over the Pacific- ie, chemtrails. The amount of spraying shown in some of the videos on the subject is mind blowing. I'm not overly familiar with the metabolic processes of plankton, but the presence of aluminum is highly disruptive to most plant biology- so I would imagine the same holds true for most plankton. Plankton being the foundation of the food chain for most ocean life, would mean if it goes, every thing above it goes too.

HOW RADIATION IN JET STREAMS FROM FUKUSHIMA WORKS

FUKUSHIMA RADIATION FROM THE JET STREAM TRAVELING AT 100 MPH COVERS 2400 MILES IN 24 HOUR MEANING RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT REACHED NORTH AMERICA IN 3 DAYS . IT COVERED NORTH AMERICA IN 7 DAYS AND BLANKETED NORTH AMERICA IN 40 DAYS IT NEVER SLOWED DOWN TILL NOVEMBER BUT EVEN TODAY EMISSIONS ARE RISING INTO THE ENVIRONMENT . THE FIRST 5 FRAMES BELOW ARE FROM HEALTH CANADA SHOWING THE FUKUSHIMA RADIOACTIVE PLUME INUNDATING B.C. CANADA MARCH 19TH & 29TH . ITS IMPORTANT TO NOTE WHEN YOU SEE CS137 THERE WAS 100 TIMES MORE STRONTIUM 90 WHERE YOU SEE IODINE 131 ALSO CALLED I-131 THERE WAS 10 TIMES MORE IODINE -132 . IODINE 133 IONIZES YOUR THYROID GLAD 8 TIMES MORE EFFECTIVELY THAN IODINE 131. WHEN YOU SEE IODINE 131 CONSIDER THERE WAS 30 TIMES MORE IODINE 133 THATS HOW NUCLEAR SCIENTIST TRICK YOU . NONE OF THESE ELEMENTS TRAVEL ALONE WHEN YOU SEE ONE THEN THEY ARE ALL THERE .

HOW CAN NUCLEAR SCIENTIST ACADEMICS MEDIA APOLOGIST SLEEP AT NIGHT

October 18, 2014
What is the use of nuclear technology if all it does is destroy everything it touches . Why have it on the planet when we can not build anything to contain it , the Nobel gasses will detonate it if not released . Everything on nuclear waste sites is vented into your community , all the time . Or worst criminally dumped into the ground like Hanford 450 billion gallons in the 50s and 60s . Right now they have right now 41 miles of open pits full of nuclear waste they couldn,t deal with leaching constantly into the water tables and environment is unimaginable when they decry terrorist releasing the same amounts into community's . Nuclear money and destruction of everything is allowed hell its encouraged while descending narratives decrying the discrepancy are not considered are afforded a debate . Its a spineless mockery of the meaning of life .

Reactors have creepily named the place where they keep their used hot cores as spent fuel pools , yet the fuel pools are full of nuclear cores that are by no means spent . Each pool boils off at least 120,000 liters of highly radioactive material a day into your community's from the cracks created by the semi chain reaction on fuel rods, a full chain reaction is a melt down like Fukushima . The only perpetual machine on the planet is nuclear waste , it perpetually kills all 8.8 million species on this planet for millenniums .

It doesn,t stop there no no no , reactors boil a million gallons a minute every minute to keep cool think about this . A glass of salt water has 75 to 100 million phytoplankton the very basic of the food and oxygen chain . Plus all the other creatures in that glass , divide a glass into a million gallons a minute a day 1440 minutes in a day and how much life larvae small fry's and critters does a single reactor boil to death a minute a day a week a year ,decade after decade relentlessly remorselessness emotionless, how can that be good . Go down by your reactors shorelines and flip over a few rocks and watch the system demonize you accusing you of disturbing the environment aka ex habitat .

Why would the nuclear community tell this entire planet for 70 years it is like bananas potato chips walking in sunshine dental and chest x rays flying in airplanes etc etc when it is nothing like them what so ever it never was it never will be it could never be . If it was why do they need billions a year for nuclear waste . Why are there laws and constant media bashing about dirty bombs . They never equate nuclear accidents releasing massive amounts of radiation in your environment with dirty bombs they say bananas potato chips air planes walking in sunshine getting a bath till your numb .

What do they have to hide about nuclear waste that they pull the wool over everyone's eyes for 7 decades with bananas potato chips air plane nonsense and it is pure nonsense ,constant outrageous lies and brainwashing nonsense . From the institutions academics university's and media , news papers and educational TV programs .
How come media never ever called them on it a single time when that would have been the sincere thing to do . Why did media enforced these deceptions with grafts and props and dialogs that are blatantly disingenuous . Why do university's repeat the same banana potato walking in sunshine flying in airplanes constantly when it comes to terrorism its bad dangerous
scary and da T Terr Terrorist could destroy city centers with makeshift dirty bombs . The reactors themselves are by definition terrorist wet dream dirty bombing community's full of people and nothing can contain it once they switch them on all the T Terr Terrorist had to do was leave them alone is sad and true .
There is no future anyway , nuclear critters have to lie about every aspect of nuclear already to get a pay check , thanks to Fukushima they can kiss their pensions goodbye. They need some good old fear mongering the terrorist will get a dirty bomb and some how scratch a few more paychecks but nuclear is done , its pure evil it has no good side ,it wrecks everything good there is no where on the planet to put what we created as it is . If we don,t stop Fukushima reactors soon this planet will wake up in a bad way and nothing can contain the blow-back not even Ebola will sooth the savage beast of desperation .

Two threads on ocean die-offs, both started yesterday, merged

[Aspen]

I wonder how much the volcanoes erupting under the ocean are affecting the wildlife? There is one off the coast of Oregon. Maybe these are also having an effect. It might be Mother Earth, not all human made. Or maybe Mother Earth is responding to what us humans are doing here on earth . . . .WyA4rGcynTQ

In regards to radiation, a friend of mine who is trained in radionics states that radionics could be used to counteract radiation. He even claims it could be used to clean up the nuclear waste. Hopefully THAT technology gets used soon!!!

What’s Really Going on at Fukushima?
by ROBERT HUNZIKER
Fukushima’s still radiating, self-perpetuating, immeasurable, and limitless, like a horrible incorrigible Doctor Who monster encounter in deep space.

Fukushima will likely go down in history as the biggest cover-up of the 21st Century. Governments and corporations are not leveling with citizens about the risks and dangers; similarly, truth itself, as an ethical standard, is at risk of going to shambles as the glue that holds together the trust and belief in society’s institutions. Ultimately, this is an example of how societies fail.

Tens of thousands of Fukushima residents remain in temporary housing more than four years after the horrific disaster of March 2011. Some areas on the outskirts of Fukushima have officially reopened to former residents, but many of those former residents are reluctant to return home because of widespread distrust of government claims that it is okay and safe.

Part of this reluctance has to do with radiation’s symptoms. It is insidious because it cannot be detected by human senses. People are not biologically equipped to feel its power, or see, or hear, touch or smell it (Caldicott). Not only that, it slowly accumulates over time in a dastardly fashion that serves to hide its effects until it is too late.

Chernobyl’s Destruction Mirrors Fukushima’s Future

As an example of how media fails to deal with disaster blowback, here are some Chernobyl facts that have not received enough widespread news coverage: Over one million (1,000,000) people have already died from Chernobyl’s fallout.

Additionally, the Rechitsa Orphanage in Belarus has been caring for a very large population of deathly sick and deformed children. Children are 10 to 20 times more sensitive to radiation than adults.

Zhuravichi Children’s Home is another institution, among many, for the Chernobyl-stricken: “The home is hidden deep in the countryside and, even today, the majority of people in Belarus are not aware of the existence of such institutions” (Source: Chernobyl Children’s Project-UK).

One million (1,000,000) is a lot of dead people. But, how many more will die? Approximately seven million (7,000,000) people in the Chernobyl vicinity were hit with one of the most potent exposures to radiation in the history of the Atomic Age.

The exclusion zone around Chernobyl is known as “Death Valley.” It has been increased from 30 to 70 square kilometres. No humans will ever be able to live in the zone again. It is a permanent “dead zone.”

Additionally, over 25,000 died and 70,000 disabled because of exposure to extremely dangerous levels of radiation in order to help contain Chernobyl. Twenty percent of those deaths were suicides, as the slow agonizing “death march of radiation exposure” was too much to endure.

Fukushima- The Real Story

In late 2014, Helen Caldicott, M.D. gave a speech about Fukushima at Seattle Town Hall (9/28/14). Pirate Television recorded her speech; here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qX-YU4nq-g

Dr. Helen Caldicott is co-founder of Physicians for Social Responsibility, and she is author/editor of Crisis Without End: The Medical and Ecological Consequences of the Fukushima Nuclear Catastrophe, The New Press, September 2014. For over four decades Dr. Caldicott has been the embodiment of the anti-nuclear banner, and as such, many people around the world classify her as a “national treasure”. She’s truthful and honest and knowledgeable.

Fukushima is literally a time bomb in quiescence. Another powerful quake and all hell could break loose. Also, it is not even close to being under control. Rather, it is totally out of control. According to Dr. Caldicott, “It’s still possible that Tokyo may have to be evacuated, depending upon how things go.” Imagine that!

According to Japan Times as of March 11, 2015: “There have been quite a few accidents and problems at the Fukushima plant in the past year, and we need to face the reality that they are causing anxiety and anger among people in Fukushima, as explained by Shunichi Tanaka at the Nuclear Regulation Authority. Furthermore, Mr. Tanaka said, there are numerous risks that could cause various accidents and problems.”

Even more ominously, Seiichi Mizuno, a former member of Japan’s House of Councillors (Upper House of Parliament, 1995-2001) in March 2015 said: “The biggest problem is the melt-through of reactor cores… We have groundwater contamination… The idea that the contaminated water is somehow blocked in the harbor is especially absurd. It is leaking directly into the ocean. There’s evidence of more than 40 known hotspot areas where extremely contaminated water is flowing directly into the ocean… We face huge problems with no prospect of solution.” (Source: Nuclear Hotseat #194: Fukushima 4th Anniversary – Voices from Japan, March 10, 2015, http://www.nuclearhotseat.com/2468/)

At Fukushima, each reactor required one million gallons of water per minute for cooling, but when the tsunami hit, the backup diesel generators were drowned. Units 1, 2, and 3 had meltdowns within days. There were four hydrogen explosions. Thereafter, the melting cores burrowed into the container vessels, maybe into the earth.

According to Dr. Caldicott, “One hundred tons of terribly hot radioactive lava has already gone into the earth or somewhere within the container vessels, which are all cracked and broken.” Nobody really knows for sure where the hot radioactive lava resides. The scary unanswered question: Is it the China Syndrome?

Following the meltdown, the Japanese government did not inform people of the ambient levels of radiation that blew back onto the island. Unfortunately and mistakenly, people fled away from the reactors to the highest radiation levels on the island at the time.

As the disaster happened, enormous levels of radiation hit Tokyo. The highest radiation detected in the Tokyo Metro area was in Saitama with cesium radiation levels detected at 919,000 becquerel (Bq) per square meter, a level almost twice as high as Chernobyl’s “permanent dead zone evacuation limit of 500,000 Bq” (source: Radiation Defense Project). For that reason, Dr. Caldicott strongly advises against travel to Japan and recommends avoiding Japanese food.

Even so, post the Fukushima disaster, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton signed an agreement with Japan that the U.S. would continue importing Japanese foodstuff. Therefore, Dr. Caldicott suggests people not vote for Hillary Clinton. One reckless dangerous precedent is enough for her.

According to Arnie Gundersen, an energy advisor with 39 years of nuclear power engineering experience, as reported in The Canadian on August 15, 2011: “The US government has come up with a decision at the highest levels of the State Department, as well as other departments who made a decision to downplay Fukushima. In April, the month after the powerful tsunami and earthquake crippled Japan including its nuclear power plant, Hillary Clinton signed a pact with Japan that she agreed there is no problem with Japanese food supply and we will continue to buy them. So, we are not sampling food coming in from Japan.”

However, in stark contrast to the United States, in Europe Angela Merkel, PhD physics, University of Leipzig and current chancellor of Germany is shutting down all nuclear reactors because of Fukushima.

Maybe an advanced degree in physics makes the difference in how a leader approaches the nuclear power issue. It certainly looks that way when comparing/contrasting the two pantsuit-wearing leaders, Chancellor Merkel and former secretary of state Clinton.

After the Fukushima blow up, ambient levels of radiation in Washington State went up 40,000 times above normal, but according to Dr. Caldicott, the U.S. media does not cover the “ongoing Fukushima mess.” So, who would really know?

Dr. Caldicott ended her speech on Sept. 2014 by saying: “In Fukushima, it is not over. Everyday, four hundred tons of highly radioactive water pours into the Pacific and heads towards the U.S. Because the radiation accumulates in fish, we get that too. The U.S. government is not testing the water, not testing the fish, and not testing the ambient air. Also, people in Japan are eating radiation every day.”

Furthermore, according to Dr. Caldicott: “Rainwater washes over the nuclear cores into the Pacific. There is no way they can get to those cores, men die, robots get fried. Fukushima will never be solved. Meanwhile, people are still living in highly radioactive areas.”

Fukushima will never be solved because “men die” and “robots get fried.” By the sounds of it, Fukushima is a perpetual radiation meltdown scenario that literally sets on the edge of a bottomless doomsday pit, in waiting to be nudged over.

UN All-Clear Report

A UN (UNSCEAR) report on April 2, 2014 on health impacts of the Fukushima accident concluded that any radiation-induced effects would be too small to identify. People were well protected and received “low or very low” radiation doses. UNSCEAR gave an all-clear report.

Rebuttal of the UNSCEAR report by the German affiliate of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War d/d July 18, 2014 takes a defiant stance in opposition to the UN report, to wit: “The Fukushima nuclear disaster is far from over. Despite the declaration of ‘cold shutdown’ by the Japanese government in December 2011, the crippled reactors have not yet achieved a stable status and even UNSCEAR admits that emissions of radioisotopes are continuing unabated. 188 TEPCO is struggling with an enormous amount of contaminated water, which continues to leak into the surrounding soil and sea. Large quantities of contaminated cooling water are accumulating at the site. Failures in the makeshift cooling systems are occurring repeatedly. The discharge of radioactive waste will most likely continue for a long time.”

“Both the damaged nuclear reactors and the spent fuel ponds contain vast amounts of radioactivity and are highly vulnerable to further earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons and human error. Catastrophic releases of radioactivity could occur at any time and eliminating this risk will take many decades… It is impossible at this point in time to come up with an exact prognosis of the effects that the Fukushima nuclear disaster will have on the population in Japan… the UNSCEAR report represents a systematic underestimation and conjures up an illusion of scientific certainty that obscures the true impact of the nuclear catastrophe on health and the environment.”

Fukushima’s Radiation and the Future

Mari Yamaguchi, Associated Press (AP), June 12, 2015: “Four years after an earthquake and tsunami destroyed Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant, the road ahead remains riddled with unknowns… Experts have yet to pinpoint the exact location of the melted fuel inside the three reactors and study it, and still need to develop robots capable of working safely in such highly radioactive conditions. And then there’s the question of what to do with the waste… serious doubts about whether the cleanup can be completed within 40 years.”

“Although the Chernobyl accident was a terrible accident, it only involved one reactor. With Fukushima, we have the minimum [of] 3 reactors that are emitting dangerous radiation. The work involved to deal with this accident will take tens of years, hundreds of years,” Prof. Hiroaki Koide (retired), Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute, April 25, 2015. “It could be that some of the fuel could actually have gone through the floor of the containment vessel as well… What I’ve just described is very, very logical for anyone who understands nuclear engineering or nuclear energy,” which dreadfully spells-out: THE CHINA SYNDROME.

According to the Smithsonian, April 30, 2015: “Birds Are in a Tailspin Four Years After Fukushima: Bird species are in sharp decline, and it is getting worse over time… Where it’s much, much hotter, it’s dead silent. You’ll see one or two birds if you’re lucky.” Developmental abnormalities of birds include cataracts, tumors, and asymmetries. Birds are spotted with strange white patches on their feathers.

Maya Moore, a former NHK news anchor, authored a book about the disaster: The Rose Garden of Fukushima (Tankobon, 2014), about the roses of Mr. Katsuhide Okada. Today, the garden has perished: “It’s just poisoned wasteland. The last time Mr. Okada actually went back there, he found baby crows that could not fly, that were blind. Mutations have begun with animals, with birds.”

The Rose Garden of Fukushima features a collection of photos of an actual garden that existed in Fukushima, Japan. Boasting over 7500 bushes of roses and 50-thousand visitors a year, the Garden was rendered null and void in an instant due to the triple disaster — earthquake, tsunami, and meltdown.

The forward to Maya’s book was written by John Roos, former US Ambassador to Japan 2009-13: “The incredible tale of Katz Okada and his Fukushima rose garden was told here by Maya Moore… gives you a small window into what the people of Tohoku faced.”

Roos’ “small window” could very well serve as a metaphor for a huge black hole smack dab in the heart of civilization. Similarly, Fukushima is a veritable destruction machine that consumes everything in its path, and beyond, and its path is likely to grow. For certain, it is not going away.

Thus, TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company) is deeply involved in an asymmetric battle against enormously powerful unleashed out-of-control forces of E=mc2.

Clearly, TEPCO has its back to the wall. Furthermore, it’s doubtful TEPCO will “break the back of the beast.” In fact, it may be an impossible task.

Maybe, just maybe, Greater Tokyo’s 38 million residents will eventually be evacuated. Who knows for sure?

Only Godzilla knows!
