Evacuate Tokyo and All US Forces From Japan

http://www.veteranstoday.com/2012/02/25/evacuate-tokyo-and-all-us-forces-from-japan/
Tokyo Radiation Level 25 Times the Fukushima Mandatory Evacuation Zone

San Francisco) Widely known Physicist Dr Paolo Scampa, the publisher of the EU AIPRI Blog and an eminent chemical physicist, announced today his latest calculations of deadly radioactivity in Tokyo itself. Both the nuclear regulatory and media responses have been missing in action.

However, the outrageous statement of a Japanese politician pretty well sums up the level of understanding of the parasitic political class “Smile, and the radiation won’t hurt you.”

4 down, and 400 hundred to go.

Where will we all evacuate to when the other 400 NPP go boom?

5 years from now, the estimates of the deaths from Fukushima will range from zero to millions, with the government and industry hawking the zero number, documentaries showing beyond reasonable doubt that the number is at least in the hundreds of thousands, and the victims tragedy compounded by a lack of compensation.

Oh, and anyone here trying to argue in favor of the victims will be descended upon by an army of paid posters who will assure everyone else that they represent Science and the advocates represent the worst kind of tinfoil sensationalism.

Propaganda is always cheaper than compensation, and they get better at it every day.

The "Don't worry, be happy" meme is to think of Fukushima as a worldwide science experiment.

The sad part is that some of us are gonna die from just this one.

Y'know what is really stupid? These plants create electricity, but when the wires go down the plants don't have enough energy to keep pumps running and then they blow up.

What happens if the grid gets fried by a solar storm, or otherwise fails?

BOOM!!

Tokyo radiation level 25x higher than Fukushima? Ummm, of course it isn't.

Do you have any idea how many people are monitoring radiation levels?

I am between Tokyo and Fukushima and last September I had my soil measured by people who are experts at measuring radiation levels in rock and soil and whom I can trust. The result: <0.2 microsiervert.

i think they might be confusing Fukushima radiation with the high radiation level measured in a tiny part of the Setagaya ward of Tokyo last October that was traced to radioactive materials that were illegally disposed of under a house. The readings for that were higher than 30 microsieverts per hour, which is roughly 25X the level of the worst inhabited areas of Fukushima Prefecture.

It's almost like people WANT to believe it.

Hell, I posted an OP last week about a wonderful hero who helped to prepare the dead bodies (over 1,000) to be viewed by their loved ones so that their families would be able to bear it... I got 1 response.

measurements aren't hard to do. Why hasn't the "widely known physicist" simply taken measurements?
