4. Oh, c'mon, you didn't think they were telling the truth about this?
They have lied from day one, it is no wonder these weasels that knew or should have known, they were warned, that this place was a disaster waiting to happen?

Earthquake Start A Global Extinction Event?


May 9, 2011
By Tom Burnett

Those of you who have been following me at HawaiiNewsDaily or on my blog may not have been thrilled with my initial assessments back in March – and ongoing – that Fukushima isn’t going away.

The reactors can NEVER be placed in ‘cold shutdown‘ because the cores are partially melted together. We are talking about hundreds of tons of fissile material inside reinforced concrete containment vessels. The containment vessels are cracked. They are releasing radiation. Fission excursions are still occurring and no one can go inside those containments for hundreds of years – even if they could get to the fuel.

They continue to pour water on them and drain it off into the ocean because there is nothing else they can do. If they stop pumping water, the genie comes out. If they keep pumping water, it has to go somewhere and that somewhere is the ocean. It is still a stop gap. Those reactor cores cannot be put into ‘cold shutdown’ or dismantled or entombed. Ever.

They cannot treat as much radioactive water as they have to keep pumping in. No one can. So the radiation is going to come across the Pacific and impact the US and, certainly, Hawaii. Yes, I read that they are going to start treating it or storing it, but the task is impossible. Reactor cores have to be maintained in a ‘clean room’ environment or the water picks up particles – which then become radioactive – which then irradiate the reactor plumbing – and, eventually, become fuel. That’s why they have to keep pumping fresh water in and dumping it out. They cannot recirculate it, even if they manage to get new plumbing installed. The next major earthquake there will begin an extinction event...

I mean, in the midst of all the smearing and insults you didn't notice that the US has shutdown almost all information regarding this event? You didn't notice that nothing they do or did has any effect on this slowly growing disaster? You didn't notice that they kept expanding the exclusion zone? You didn't notice when the chief nuke adviser to the PM resigned in disgust in Japan? You didn't notice all the truthful explanations about this emanating from Gunderson, Busby, Caldecott, Moret? You didn't notice the radioactive shipments from Japan now showing up in ports around the world, like Rotterdam and Chile?

Get real, the following can be deduced from the mad blogger published above:

Vessels cracked: check
Cold Shutdown impossible: check
Release of radiation continues unabated into ground, into ocean, into air: Check
Water poured into reactors is leaking out, no solution: Check
These reactors cannot be entombed ala Chernobyl: Check
We will continue to experience radiation leaks that will migrate radiation to the US West Coast: Check
