Cali shuts down crab season “indefinitely” cites “naturally-occurring toxin,” but whistleblowers reveal real culprit is radiation

Just one week after this web site broke news of Fukushima radiation in fish & seafood, California officials have cancelled commercial crab season “indefinitely” citing “protection of the public health.” Yet in a classic case of “if you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull****” California officials have offered the following absurd reason to the public for this action:

Global warming has heated the ocean to the point that a particular algae, Pseudo-Nitzchia, is blooming in great swaths along California’s coast. The algae produces a neurotoxin called domoic acid which accumulates in crab and other seafood. If consumed by humans the neurotoxin can cause memory loss, tremors or death.
However, workers in the California Fish and Game Commission have revealed to SuperStation95 that the real reason for cancelling this $60 million per year commercial seafood season is: Radiation contamination of seafood from the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan.

According to these workers, who requested anonymity because they fear losing their jobs, radiation levels in local crab, especially Rock crab, were so high that officials feared anyone who consumed the crabs would suffer immediate sickness traceable directly back to the seafood. “If people started connecting the dots proving radiation in seafood was making them sick, it would utterly destroy California’s seafood industry in days” they said.

To cover up the industry-destroying truth, high ranking state political officials instructed the Fish and Wildlife Commission that it would be better to say “some other reason for cancelling the crab season, so as not to panic the public or wreck our industry.” The thinking by the political people was that as long as the public was protected from eating the contaminated food, they didn’t need to know the real reason for it.

This is yet another nail in the coffin of California and other west coast sates, all of which are now receiving ever-increasing dosages of radioactive materials carried to north America by prevailing ocean currents from Fukushima, Japan.
In March, 2011 an earthquake off the coast of Japan caused a Tsunami which hit the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant, causing three reactors to melt down and explode.

This is a concern to me being my backyard, but the Daily Sheeple appears to be the worst kind of fear mongering, disinfo spreading website with, most telling - NO corroborative supportive links in an article full of specific claims. A search for any corroboration produced another handful of fear mongering sites with the exact same copycat copy, and only a few others even asking the question if the crab shutdown was really radiation related.

Not to say radiation contamination of the crab isn't the real reason, but here's at least a more grounded reading site posting supposed tests, not that a company in the fishing business isn't lying too... http://www.vitalchoice.com/shop/pc/viewContent.asp?idpage=141

There also happened to be a local reference today to this CNBC (a totally unreliable source too) article just today about how it exists, but how low it supposedly is....

Five years after an accident at the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan, some scientists continue to find found small amounts of radioactive material along the West Coast of North America. And some of them say we should expect to see this in the ocean for decades to come. Elevated levels found off the coast of Japan show that the situation is not yet under control, and that the facility is still leaking radiation.

But the levels observed near the United States are below — very far below — those set by health and safety standards, and are also far outstripped by naturally occurring radiation.

Much of the radiation from the disaster leaked into the sea, leading to fears in other countries that the toxins would poison marine ecosystems and fisheries, and cause cancer or other health problems for humans.

U.S. scientists began receiving phone calls from concerned citizens asking them if it was safe to eat fish or swim in the ocean.

While government agencies looked for radiation in soil, air, drinking water and the food supply, oceanographer Ken Buesseler said a "traditional gap" in government agency responsibility leaves ocean radiation unstudied.

But the public was concerned — Buesseler was getting phone calls from worried citizens. There had also been a series of massive die-offs of marine life, especially sea lions, and some of the people Buesseler talked to feared the die-offs resulted from radiation, he said.

He and a team secured a grant from the Moore Foundation and ran a crowdfunding campaign to pay for a vessel, researchers, and the equipment needed to take seawater samples near Japan and North America.

His team looked for a particular radioactive isotope called cesium-134. That isotope is particularly useful because it has a very short, two-year half-life. If there was cesium-134 somewhere in the ocean, it almost certainly would have to come from Fukushima. Other isotopes — such as cesium-137 — have far longer half-lives. There still is some cesium-137 in the ocean from nuclear tests conducted in the middle of the 20th Century, for example.

Cesium is soluble in seawater, so it is easily taken up and dispersed by ocean currents. This may partly be a good thing: The ocean is vast, and it has quickly diluted concentrations in the most affected area around Japan.

But it does mean radiation can spread out across the Pacific and around the planet.

Last December, Buesseler and his team said they had found a spike of cesium-134 off the coast of California — about 11 becquerels per cubic meter of water. Becquerels are a unit measuring radiation. Buesseler and his team reported finding about 10 becquerels per cubic meter of water 1,500 miles north of Hawaii. That was a level around twice as high as levels they had found on previous missions.

Five years later, scientists have reason to assume radiation from the Fukushima disaster is still showing up on U.S. shores. And they will likely continue to leak and drift for decades to come.

Then again, these levels are extremely small. To put 11 becquerels in perspective, a single dental X-ray would expose a person to 1,000 times more radiation than swimming in that water for an entire year, according to Buesseler. It is about 500 times lower than the U.S. government standard for safe drinking water.

Good. Now perhaps people will stop canibalising other beings.

Sounds like what I've been saying since 2011.... haha


Just in case it needs to be said again:

There is no danger from fukushima radiation unless you are on the power plant grounds itself inside the reactor area, every reading taken else where is so low it's generally below the common background levels of a few areas & certainly below what just one plane flight at high altitude would give you as far as radiation dose goes.

People love fear porn though... (I was tempted to call it emotional porn, but fear porn is it's own category for sure)

Uhh, what?

There's a vegan thread on this forum (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?83021-All-Things-Vegan-&highlight=vegan) if you want to express your ideas, FYI Cannibalism has a definition:

Cannibalism is the act or practice of humans eating the flesh or internal organs of other human beings. A person who practices cannibalism is called a cannibal. The expression cannibalism has been extended into zoology to mean one individual of a species consuming all or part of another individual of the same species as food, including sexual cannibalism.

Grammar is very important to communication, your sentence makes little sense with "canibalising" placed where it is since you cannot actually "cannibalize" other (assuming "other" means something not of the same species) beings.

Fukishima Diachi plant reeking havok in pacific and Alaska, expect massive cancer increases and abnormal growths on plants and mammals. The oar fish is coming to the surface so it's gone pretty deep.

Nope, none of that is happening, I lived in alaska untill a couple years ago & still know people there including a guy working for NOA, the only new thing up there is it's a bit warmer than usual, everything else, well.... that's just the fear porn talking :P

It appears they are attempting to take out the west coast in all the many ways they have at their disposal, but we here are sturdy individuals and we will remain standing after all their attempts have failed.
But I don't eat fish out of the pacific anymore.

Come on T, dude, get with it. You know vegans are holier than thou, closer to God, more aware, generally better people, and good at checkers.

wait... what!? I never knew!
