corbettreport on Apr 26, 2011 The Fukushima and Chernobyl nuclear disasters are quite different from a technological point of view as there are considerable differences between the causes of the catastrophes in each case and, furthermore, the equipment at the two devastated nuclear power plants is different, says independent journalist James Corbett who is in Osaka right now.
What also divides the cases is that in the Soviet Union, after it became evident that information about the catastrophe in Chernobyl could not be hidden under a rug, the information about the liquidation of the aftermath of the disaster was absolutely open to the international community. The situation in Fukushima is the opposite: the Japanese authorities censor the information about what exactly is going on at the devastated nuclear facility and share it with only a limited number of organizations.
"The [Japanese] government has proven that it is not interested in giving free and open access to the [Fukushima] site or the information coming out of there," he said, adding that briefings on the situation "are only open to a selected group of Japanese media organizations -- and foreign media and independent journalists are being excluded from those meetings."

Cap the Gene Spill - an urgent message about GMO pollution
TheHealthRanger on Apr 24, 2011 Jeffrey Smith explains the genetic pollution of the world that's being caused by GMOs. Here's some of the narration text from the video:
[GMO pollution causes] intense, insidious environmental degradation that may never be able to be cleaned up.
And just like the oil spill, you can trace it back to government incompetence and collusion, and industry manipulation -- putting out technologies that are not safe long before the science is ready.
What about the self-propagating genetic pollution? Once it gets out, it then spreads, and cross pollinates... it becomes a self-propagating pollution that could outlast the effects of global warming or nuclear waste. This is an impossible thing to clean up, and we are bequeathing to all future generations the folly of this generation.
Never before have we fed the products of an infant science to the entire population, or released it into the environment without a way to fully recall it.
So we need to cap the gene spill. Put it back in the laboratory where it belongs.
Maybe someday we can predictably and safely manipulate the DNA of plants and know what its impacts will be in the environment and in our bodies, but that day is far away.

Heroes Villainized: FBI to investigate 9/11 first responders for terrorism
RussiaToday on Apr 23, 2011 A provision in a new draft of the 9/11 healthcare bill will force the FBI to investigate tens of thousands of cops, firefighters, construction workers and others for ties to terrorism by comparing names to those on the Terrorism Watch List. Survivors of 9/11 who risked their lives to help others and today face debilitating health problems are not being accused of terrorism themselves. The new bill would require anyone interested in receiving medical care under the new law be screened. Those who refuse will not be allowed to receive care. Jim Ryder, the director of political affairs at the Feal Good Foundation in New York said this is unnecessary and wrong.

Joseph Stiglitz on US rich & poor, corporations & dollar as reserve money
RussiaToday on Apr 17, 2011 With the US economy remaining weak, and with budget woes hitting confidence in the US dollar, talk about a new global reserve currency is mounting. Professor Joseph Stiglitz a Nobel prize-winning economist of 2001 agrees that the world economy needs a new global reserve currency to help prevent trade imbalances that are reflected in the national debt of the US. RT:Speaking of non-functioning, well, what about the US dollar? You are someone who is calling for a new reserve currency. But why? Some say "what is the alternative"? Joseph Stiglitz: What I've argued for is the creation of a global reserve currency. Reserve currencies are, you might think of a store value and the dollar has been very unstable - understandable given the difficulties of the American economy, our performance was not a stellar. But the fact that in a modern globalized economy, 21st Century, it is an anachronism that a single currency would play the pivotal role that the dollar has played. What I argue in my book "Making Globalization Work" is that the dollar reserve currency system contributes to inequality ... and it actually contributes to the weakening of the global economy, because countries are setting aside literally hundreds of billions of dollars, you might say, of precautionary savings. That's money not spent. RT: So, you are saying essentially it hurts everybody to have the US dollar as a reserve currency? JS: That is right. What I've described in the UN commission I chair, explains how we can create a global reserve currency. It is really interesting to be here at Bretton Woods talking about that because Keynes argued for this 75 years ago. In the aftermath of the Great Depression he understood how the links between the UK's problem, UK being the reserve currency then, and that if we are going to have global economic stability we needed to move off of a single country being the reserve currency. Bretton Woods failed from his perspective, in this respect. RT:And didn't the US disagree and say "we want to be main reserve currency" and got their way? So, would the US have that same power, if world leaders got together today for another Bretton Woods conference? JS: I think that if that same meeting were held here in Bretton Woods...the world is markedly different. China has close to $3 trillion of reserves, about a third of the global reserves, about $9 trillion. If you own $3 trillion you have some voice in what kind of reserve currency system you want to have. And China has been very clear that it worries about the current dollar-based reserve system right after our UN commission came out and supported it, China supported it, France supported it, Russia supported. So there is a wide understanding of the importance of this idea. And I think if the global economy remains weak, there will be more interest as one of the remedies to the current instability and weakness in the global economy.

Busby: 400,000 to develop cancer in 200 km radius of Fukushima
RussiaToday on Apr 13, 2011 Engineers at Japan's Fukushima plant continue work on emptying highly radioactive water from one of the nuclear reactors. The latest tests show that radiation levels in the sea near the damaged facility have spiked. On Tuesday, Japan raised the level of nuclear alert at the plant to the maximum of seven, putting it on a par with the Chernobyl disaster. Recovery efforts came under threat as series of powerful aftershocks hit the area near the power station. It came a month after the massive earthquake and tsunami devastated the country, leaving over 13 thousand people dead. Monitoring stations around the world have been picking up small amounts of radioactive particles spreading from Fukushima.
'Worst-case scenario: Fukushima fuel pool with plutonium catches fire'
RussiaToday on Apr 13, 2011 Engineers at Japan's struggling Fukushima nuclear plant have resumed efforts to remove built-up radioactive water. It comes after a powerful aftershock forced crews to flee the area. On Tuesday Japan raised the nuclear alert around the facility to the maximum level of seven. This puts the crisis on a par with the Chernobyl disaster. The decision was based on new data showing more radiation had leaked from the damaged plant than previously thought. But officials say that the upgrade does not mean the situation has become more critical. Meanwhile, attempts to restore cooling systems at the reactors appear to be no closer to success. Nuclear engineer, Arnold Gundersen, believes the Japanese government has downplayed the extent of the disaster.

Liberty Dollar Creator, Bernard Von Nothaus: The FED are The Real Counterfeiters
TheAlexJonesChannel on Apr 5, 2011 Alex also talks with the producer of the Liberty Dollar, Bernard von NotHaus, who was indicted, arrested, and convicted in federal court for creating currency the government says is in competition with its official fiat coinage and currency.
COMMENT: This alternative, voluntary gold & silver currency may be controversial, but it seems incomprehensible that it could be deemed illegal on grounds of resembling Federal Reserve paper notes. Don't the Feds know we abandoned the gold standard back in the 70s? It is even more outrageous for these attorneys to term the convicted man as a participating in "a unique form of domestic terrorism." More evidence that the phony War on Terror is waged against the American people rather than on shadowy men in turbans seeking jihad.
