Weapon Charge: US & allies to arm Libya rebels with 'Al-Qaeda links'?
We start in Libya, where pro-government troops have pushed rebel forces out of several recently-captured territories after a heavy counter-offensive. This comes as some NATO countries, including the U.S. and France, are suggesting they could be open to arming the rebels. But there's criticism that this would go beyond the terms of the UN resolution.

'Fukushima plutonium leak comparable to Chernobyl disaster'
Japanese government is considering the construction of a containment shell at the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant. It would be aimed at averting further radiation leaks in a crisis that is still described as 'grave'. The plan would involve the three most badly damaged reactors being covered with hi-tech material. The level of radiation measured in sea water near the site, is now said to be around three and a half thousand times higher than normal. Workers have been unsuccessfully trying to restore the cooling system at the facility, in what is now the worst atomic crisis since Chernobyl. RT spoke to nuclear energy expert Lars Polmeier, who says there are parallels with that disaster 25 years ago.

New 6.5 quake in Japan as country turns into mass graveyard
Another strong earthquake off the coast of Japan has rocked the already devastated country. Although a Tsunami warning that was issued following the new quake has since been cancelled. The 9 magnitude earthquake and ensuing tsunami which struck the country 2 and a half weeks ago, ravaging whole regions, is now estimated to have killed well over 10 thousand. Workers are still battling to contain radiation leaks at a nuclear plant severely damaged by the disaster. Japan's nuclear agency says levels of radioactive iodine in the sea near the plant have risen to almost two thousand times the usual level. And as that crisis looms, many are still struggling with the loss of loved ones. As RT's Igor Ogorodnev reports, officials are being forced to come up with new ways to cope with the overwhelming number of dead.

Massive Cover-Up Of Radiation Levels In Fukushima Prefecture
A data map of radiation levels in Japan posted on the TargetMap website has omitted information from the Fukushima Prefecture where nuclear reactors are currently melting down.
The map reports a "survey" of the area is currently "underway," in other words the Japanese government is not reporting the obvious fact the area is contaminated with deadly radiation and it does not want the Japanese people or anybody else to know the full story.
A coordinated coverup of the severity of the situation is underway. This sort of behavior is typical of governments, especially when they are interested in protecting their power base and protecting the interests of transnational corporations.
Normally stoic Japanese citizens are outraged over the lack of information forthcoming from the government. "Residents who have been evacuated after a radiation leak from a quake-hit nuclear power plant have expressed their anger with the lack of information about the incident and how to respond to it," The Mainichi Daily News reports.
In the United States, countless numbers have flocked to stores in pursuit of iodine tablets, said to help prevent thyroid cancer. Americans are obviously not buying the line promulgated by federal and state government that radiation does not pose a threat.
Katrina and other incidents have instructed the people in the uselessness of government and its desire to protect them. Increasingly, people understand they have to be proactive and protect themselves and not rely on a gaggle of self-serving bureaucrats.
In Russia's Far East, residents on Wednesday stocked up on iodine and checked radiation levels. Russia's emergencies ministry toted the same line as other government's around the world -- there is no risk to human health and no danger from radiation is expected.
Potassium iodide tablets have been given to some U.S. military flight crews near Japan and the no-go zone for soldiers and sailors is larger than that declared by the Japanese government for its citizens

Congressman Kucinich Sees an Ascendant Labor Movement in Mad
Video by Chuck Olsen Following his appearance as part of an all-star progressive lineup at the Barrymore Theatre in Madison tonight, Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich (Dem.) spoke to The UpTake's Jacob Wheeler about the resurgent labor movement in Wisconsin and elsewhere, and how it has slumbered in the past 17 years since the North American Free Trade Agreement was signed in 1994. Kucinich lamented what little the Democratic Party has done to support organized labor, and chastised President Obama for not being here to lead the movement. Kucinich expressed worry that his home state of Ohio which just passed similar union-busting legislation will soon be "selling everything that's not nailed down". In light of the fact that a Democratic president in the White House has yet to set a timetable for ending the war in Afghanistan, Kucinich continues to press for a "Department of Peace" to replace the "Defense Department".

First tsunami waves hit Hawaii islands, California coast after Japan quake
Countries across the Pacific area, including Russia, South America, the U.S. and Indonesia have been put on alert for any tsunamis heading their way. But while the first waves have now reached America's mainland any major threat appears to be fading. 95 deaths reported in Japan, but that is rising quickly. One Japanese news agency suggests there are literally tens of thousands unaccounted for. Worst hit is the north eastern city of Sendai. Police say almost every house there has been damaged or destroyed. This 8.9 earthquake was the strongest in Japan since records began 140 years ago, in fact its the 6th- largest ever recorded in the world. Experts say it's around eight thousand times bigger than the quake which devastated the New Zealand city of Christchurch last month.

Northern Japan has been swamped by a major tsunami - and the entire Pacific region is now on alert. It was caused by an 8.9-magnitude earthquake that struck 130 kilometres off the eastern coast - sending a 4-metre wall of water inland, causing widespread devastation. So far, 23 people are confirmed dead - but that number's expected to rise. The first wave has also reached Russia's Kuril islands to the north, reportedly around a metre high. In Japan, 200 people have reportedly been washed away, with several others missing on Japan's Sendai island. Tokyo's been all-but shut down - with fires and injuries widely reported there. Millions are without electricity. Norita International Airport has been shut down. Hawaii is now bracing for a destructive wave to reach its shores within the next few hours.

Joel Skousen Part 2: Election 2012 - Deception & War
Author and political commentator Joel Skousen gives an in-depth discussion on how the election process is controlled by the establishment, with a particular focus on the 2012 election and the co-opted Tea Party movement. Skousen gives a detailed explanation of how he thinks the 2012 election will play out, with either Newt Gingrich or Sarah Palin emerging as the victorious Republican candidate.
Looking back to 2008, Skousen notes how Rudy Giuliani was promoted early on as one of the top Republican candidates when in fact he was a cross-dressing hardcore liberal. Judging from the poll numbers that Giuliani was going down in flames, the establishment had a big problem on their hands, especially given the candidacy of Ron Paul, and it was then that six major newspapers endorsed John McCain even though he was polling at only 2-3 per cent.
Knowing that McCain did not have a good record with conservatives, he was reviled in some quarters for promoting amnesty for illegal immigrants under the Bush administration, Sarah Palin was brought in to make conservatives bite the bullet and acquiesce to having John McCain be the candidate. Palin was picked because she would be very easy to manipulate, explains Skousen, and although initially Palin proved difficult to influence, she did finally succumb. Palin is now used to co-opt the Tea Party movement, and will be just as easily manipulated as was George W. Bush if she ever becomes President.
Joel Skousen: The Tea Party Deception
Feb 25, 2011
Joel Skousen, editor of World Affairs Brief, was the chairman of the Conservative National Committee in the 1980's. In this exclusive video interview for Prison Planet.tv members, Skousen talks about the hidden power structure that controls politicians of both parties from behind the scenes, the nature of the manipulated press, the reality behind the tea party, and the ongoing conspiracy to create a one world dictatorship.
Skousen explains that there is "systematic evil" in the world which uses certain techniques to proliferate, including the dialectic of crisis creation in order to induce good people into accepting or doing things that they wouldn't ordinarily do by way of deception, which is why evil uses crisis creation to change the world.
Skousen discusses how his famous uncle, Cleon Skousen, discovered how the fall of China to Chairman Mao was aided by the US State Department by withdrawing support for Chiang Kai-shek, which led to a realization that there were globalists within the US government who had no allegiance to America, particularly Alger Hiss, the writer of the UN Charter, who had joined the Communist Party to facilitate Communist infiltration into the State Department - using communism to facilitate the goals of globalism.
