Lies About Fukushima From WHO
This story claiming that the Fukushima radiation is inconsequential is incredibly blatant,
in your face, out-and-out lying, folks. It sucks the breath right your of
your lungs to see how easily and nonchalantly these bastards utter their murderous
lies. See the three articles below this one for a few
illustrations of what I�m talking about:

WHO: Small cancer risk after Fukushima accident
People exposed to the highest
doses of radiation during Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant disaster in 2011 may
have a slightly higher risk of cancer but one so small it probably won't be
detectable, the World Health Organization said in a report released
Thursday.
A group of experts convened by
the agency assessed the risk of various cancers based on estimates of how much
radiation people at the epicenter of the nuclear disaster received, namely those
directly under the plumes of radiation in the most affected communities in
Fukushima, a rural agricultural area about 150 miles (240 km) north of
Tokyo.
Some 110,000 people living
around the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant were evacuated after the massive
March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami knocked out the plant's power and cooling
systems, causing meltdowns in three reactors and spewing radiation into the
surrounding air, soil and water.
Experts calculated that people
in the most affected regions had an additional 4 to 7% overall risk of
developing cancers, including leukemia and breast cancer. In Japan, men have
about a 41% lifetime risk of developing cancer of an organ, while a woman's
lifetime risk is about 29 percent. For those most hit by the radiation after
Fukushima, their chances of cancer would rise by about 1
percent.
"These are pretty small
proportional increases," said Richard Wakeford of the University of Manchester,
one of the authors of the report.
"The additional risk is quite
small and will probably be hidden by the noise of other (cancer) risks like
people's lifestyle choices and statistical fluctuations," he said. "It's more
important not to start smoking than having been in
Fukushima."
Experts had been particularly
worried about a spike in thyroid cancer, since iodine released in nuclear
accidents is absorbed by the thyroid, especially in children. After the
Chernobyl disaster, about 6,000 children exposed to radiation later developed
thyroid cancer because many drank contaminated milk after the
accident.
In Japan, dairy radiation
levels were closely monitored, but children are not big milk drinkers
there.
WHO estimated that women
exposed as infants to the most radiation after the Fukushima accident would have
a 70% higher chance of getting thyroid cancer in their lifetimes. But thyroid
cancer is extremely rare and the normal lifetime risk of developing it is about
0.75 percent. That lifetime risk would be 0.5 percent higher for those women who
got the highest radiation doses as babies.
Wakeford said the increase in
such cancers may be so small it will probably not be
observable.
For people beyond the most
directly affected areas of Fukushima, Wakeford said the projected risk from the
radiation dropped dramatically. "The risks to everyone else were just
infinitesimal."
Some experts said it was
surprising that any increase in cancer was even predicted and believe that the
low-dose radiation people in Fukushima received hasn't been proven to raise the
chances of cancer.
"On the basis of the radiation
doses people have received, there is no reason to think there would be an
increase in cancer in the next 50 years," said Wade Allison, an emeritus
professor of physics at Oxford University, who was not connected to the WHO
report. "The very small increase in cancers means that it's even less than the
risk of crossing the road," he said.
Gerry Thomas, a professor of
molecular pathology at Imperial College London, accused the WHO of hyping the
cancer risk.
"It's understandable that WHO
wants to err on the side of caution, but telling the Japanese about a barely
significant personal risk may not be helpful," she said.
Thomas said the WHO report
used inflated estimates of radiation doses and didn't properly take into account
Japan's quick evacuation of people from Fukushima.
"This will fuel fears in Japan
that could be more dangerous than the physical effects of radiation," she said,
noting that people living under stress have higher rates of heart problems,
suicide and mental illness.

Experts:
Fukushima 'off-scale' lethal radiation level infers millions
dying
Fukushima nuclear power
plant radiation recordings of external gamma radiation have been
so high this week, they went off scale said veteran nuclear
expert Arnie Gunderson on Thursday after the famous physicist, Dr.
Chris Busby told the Japanese
people this week that radioactive air contamination there is now 300 times that
of Chernobyl and 1000 times the atomic bomb peak in 1963, inferring that
hundreds of millions of people are now dying from Fukushima radiation, including
people in the United States.
If
noticing unusual amounts of hair falling out, confusion, nose bleeds or other odd
symptoms typical of radiation
sickness, it might be due to the United States' record high levels of
radiation, now multiple times acceptable safety limits not only on the west
coast, but also in other locations around the nation.

Fukushima: What Are the Implications?
Because
Fukushima radiation data retrieval and interpretation has been so complex or
non-existent for the concerned public, citizen reporters in Japan and United States
have now established
easily accessible ways to view radiation levels on the
internet.
Fukushima
radiation depopulation unfathomable: Possibly 100s of millions
deaths
Dr
Janette Sherman, a highly respected physician and acknowledged expert in
radiation exposure who has reported a north-east United States 35% baby death spike
since
Fukushima fall-out reached the nation, concurs with estimates that
world wide, the Chernobyl Kill is one million people killed to date reported NOVA
News. Extrapolating, worldwide deaths by Fukushima radiation could eventually be
hundreds of millions of people, becoming the most significant depopulation event
to date.
Dr.
Chris Busby, world famous physicist, said tests conducted at the respected
Harwell Radiation Laboratory in England demonstrate that airborne radiation in
Japan is 1,000 times higher than radioactive �fallout� at the peak in 1963 of
H-Bomb detonations by nuclear powers. In March, Busby had estimated that
Fukushima radiation to be 72,000 times greater than what the
United States released at Hiroshima.
"Let�s
wipe the Tokyo Electric Power Company and the General Electric officials and
policy makers off the face of the Earth, as they manifestly deserve," asserted
Dr. Busby when addressing the Japanese this week.
Thirty-nine
year nuclear industry veteran Arnie Gunderson of Fairwinds stated Tuesday,"There
will continue to be enormous spikes for at least ten
years."
Dr.
Busby advocates not only independent studies of the nuclear catastrophe. He
received a resounding applause when he told the Japanese people this week that
in his opinion, scientists who said this accident was not a problem must be
prosecuted.
"Many
nuclear scientists said it was not a problem when the knew it was a serious
accident. People who listened to those scientists and did not run away when they
should have. Because of that, people will die."
Busby
explained that the World Health Organization is tied to the Nuclear Industry so
their research is bogus. In studying Fukushima, the World Health Organization
expects to find no effects "and so that's what they'll find," he
said.
According to Dr. Helen Caldicott, WHO's subjugation to the nuclear industry has been
widely known since
May 28, 1959, when at the 12th World Health Assembly, WHO drafted an agreement
with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) granting the right of prior
approval over any research it might undertake or report on to the IAEA, the
group many people, including some journalists, think is a neutral watchdog but
is, "in fact, an advocate for the nuclear power industry."
�The
agency shall seek to accelerate and enlarge the contribution of atomic energy to
peace, health and prosperity through the world,�the founding papers state, as
reported by The
Age.
Latest
nuclear 'peace, health and prosperity' spike
TEPCO
discovered a hot spot location on the Fukushima nuclear power plant site a few
days ago with lethal levels of external gamma radiation.
How
the latest radiation spike at Fukushima might have been deposited and also how
similar radioactive material would have been released off-site was presented this
week by
Gunderson, with over 25-years of experience in nuclear
decommissioning oversight, co-authored the first edition of the Department Of Energy
(DOE) Decommissioning Handbook. (See embedded
Vimeo, "Lethal Levels of Radiation at Fukushima: What Are the
Implications?", Arnie Gunderson, Fairwinds)
Gunderson
noted that over 1000 REMs were released according to TEPCO earlier this week, an
amount that, "if there, would mean death within a couple of
days."
"Those
kinds of exposures cause extensive neurological breakdowns that can't be
reversed medically," Gunderson reported.
"To
be anywhere near that for a couple of minutes would be a death
sentence."
Gunderson
has questioned how this hot spot could have been missed over 100
days.
"Earlier
site maps do not show this high concentration of radioactivity in that area," he
said. "More likely that this event happened over time. This radiation built up
over time."
Gunderson
said he wanted to put that into perspective and let the public know what is
happening, saying the key is that it occurred in a vent.
It
contained cesium and hot water that ran down the outside of the pipe and
collected in the bottom, so the concentration got higher and higher as more
water containing cesium came down. It was found in a stack condensing.
"Air
was being pulled over that and exhausted into the air for a long period of
time," he said.
"It
speaks to how much radiation was released over the last 140 days, only a small
amount compared to the total amount being released to the
environment."
Nuclear
insanity, 'Destroyer of Worlds' hits states but fixed by
vaccines?
According
to Gunderson, over the next ten years, there will be continued spikes in
radiation on site, first where places bulldozed actually come to the surface in
excavations.
"There
will continue to be enormous radioactive sources that are unearthed," he
said."When they get into these buildings to actually try to dismantle the plant,
they are going to find even higher radiation levels than this
one."
"At
the bottom of the plant, the nuclear core has leaked out and is now lying like a
pancake on the concrete floor, working its way down, but probably not through
the concrete."
According
to Gunderson, the bottom if the plant has even much more radioactive material
leaking than the recent off-the-scale recordings.
"It's
going to take ten or twenty years to clean up," he said.
The
Japanese government has called for a voluntary cease of using compost materials
from fallen leaves due to humus registering cesium over the government's
acceptable radiation limits according to MSNBC
World News Asia Pacific.
Following
criticism of government radiation data being too difficult to interpret,
organizations started collecting their own data. Now, thegovernment is helping to
interpret radiation readings found in air, water, grass, farm soil,
trees and food.
Alexander
Higgins is among citizen reporters in the United States who are rallying to
provide accurate radiation monitoring data to Americans. This week, Higgins
presented a new interactive website that
clearly shows with maps and charts the radiation levels across the
country.
Data
on these pages reflect CPMs remarkably higher than government safety levels. For
example, in recent days, Los Angeles radiation has been
spiking higher than 300 CPMs, and Little Rock, higher than 250 CPMs. (See: "Real
Time EPA RadNet Japan Nuclear
Radiation Monitoring For Every Major City In The Entire US On A Single
Page," Higgins, A.)
Global
Security Newswirereported over one hundred million dollars allocated for drug
research companies
to address radiation sickness in
the United States. Within less than a week of Fukushima's catastrophe onset, on
Mar 16, U.S. bio-defense groups, that develop products for radiation leak
effects from nuclear power plants and attacks and a number of anti-cancer drugs,
were awarded a five-year $118 million contract to further develop "research and
producing vaccines and immunotherapies directed at potential agents of
bio-terrorism," according to Daily
Finance.
"The
government's concern is reflected in the 2004 passage of the BioShield Act,
which created Project BioShield to fund countermeasures against a chemical,
biological, radiological or nuclear attack. The project has set aside $5.6
billion for the next 10 years for the government purchase of next-generation
medical countermeasures, including improved vaccines, diagnostics, and
therapeutics. The budget includes grants from the Department of Health and Human
Resources to biotechs developing such bio-defense products. That $5.6 billion
budget may now look insufficient. Already, there is talk among some senators for
the need to bump up the nation's preparedness in the wake of the nuclear crisis
in Japan." (Daily
Finance)
As
Americans struggle to survive amid the economic depression, Obama has
allocated39 billion dollars for the U.S.
nuclear power industry, an industry that peace and justice human rights defender
Dr. Caldicott has called "nuclear insanity" and the "Destroyer of
Worlds."

Am
women pay high price for Fukushima cover-up: 35% more dead
babies
Baby
death rate spike since Fukushima radiation
cover-up
Babies
are dying at a 35% increased rate in eight northwest U.S. cities since the
Fukushima meltdowns, evidence supporting radiation expert Joseph Managno's assertion
thatAmericans will pay a high price for government and media cover-up and
deceptionrelated to Fukushima radiation, such as telling
women that there are only trace levels of radiation from Fukushima and that
these are harmless. Women in the United States will now have a special
commonality with Japanese women in terms of suffering spontaneous abortions and
infant deaths.
A
report by Mangano, executive director of the Radiation and Public Health
Project and co-authored by Janette Sherman about increased infant
morbidity since the Fukushima catastrophe, highlights that although the United
States spends billions on medical care, as of 2006, the US ranked 28th in the
world in infant mortality, over twice that of the lowest ranked countries.
(DHHS, CDC, National Center for Health Statistics. Health United States 2010,
Table 20, p. 131, February 2011.)
Friday's
Counterpunch article by Mangano and Sherman emphasizes that the recent CDCMorbidity
and Mortality Weekly Report indicates northwest U.S. cities, Boise
ID, Seattle WA, Portland OR, plus northern California cities of Santa Cruz,
Sacramento, San Francisco, San Jose, and Berkeley have each reported data on
deaths among those younger than one year of age including:
4
weeks ending March 19, 2011 - 37 deaths (avg. 9.25 per week)
10 weeks
ending May 28, 2011 - 125 deaths (avg.12.50 per week)
"This
amounts to an increase of 35% (the total for the entire U.S. rose about 2.3%),
and is statistically significant. Of further significance is
that those dates include the four weeks before and the ten weeks after the
Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant disaster."
As
Mangano told the Examiner, warning Americans about Fukushima fallout, unborn and
babies are more vulnerable because their cells are rapidly dividing and the
delivered dose of radiation is proportionally larger than delivered to
adults.
Why
should we care if there may be is a link between Fukushima and the death of
children?
"Because
we need to measure the actual levels of isotopes in the environment and in the
bodies of people exposed to determine if the fallout is killing our most
vulnerable," the experts say.
But
that research is not being conducted, against best interest of the public
according to Mangano.
"The
research is not technically difficult � the political and economic barriers may
be greater," he and Sherman report.
Bandshevsky
and others conducted such research as it related to the Chernobyl meltdown,
confirming the connection.
Dr.
Helen Caldicott has also cited the recent New York Academy of Sciences report
that stated over 1 million people died as a direct result of the 1986 Chernobyl
melt-down, mostly from cancer.
"The
situation is very grim and not just for the Japanese people," said
Caldicott.
Only
days after the Fukushima meltdowns began, it took a group of Japanese grassroots
volunteers
to rescue babies and pregnant women from the Fukushima Nuclear power plant
fallout, since the Japanese government told everyone within the
20-mile radius danger zone of the leaking plants to remain indoors where people
are being radiated.
The
Radiation and Public Health Project is one of the only non-government
organizations in the U.S. consistently warning the public about the Fukushima
dangers for Americans.
As
in the nation's Gulf coast region where, due to the April 20, 2010 oil-rig
explosion, radiation from BP's oil plus chemicals and biological agents from
Corexit are linked to harm of pregnant women and
babies, the government is making little effort to prevent American women and
babies from suffering due to Fukushima meltdowns.
New research has shed
light on sharp increases in both Gulf miscarriages and Gulf dead baby
dolphins.
Mangano
and Sherman state, "Low birth weight babies, born too soon and too small, face a
lifetime of health problems, including cerebral palsy, and behavioral and
learning problems placing an enormous physical, emotional and economic burdens
on society as a whole and on those caring for them."
While
"death of a young child is devastating to a family," it is most devastating to
the mother.
