Inside the Exclusion Zone of Fukushima's Radioactive Forest

As we know from Chernobyl and its infamous exclusion zone, Time will reveal all. In many respects, Chernobyl is a radioactive experiment, unfortunately. Even more tragic, is a 2nd nuclear experiment we can now learn from; and, that is from the exclusion zone from Fukushima, Japan: A radioactive forest in the heart of the Fukushima exclusion zone.

Radioactive Wolves Versus ELE [Extinction Level Event]

Radioactive Wolves

I enjoyed viewing Radioactive Wolves on PBS. It depicts what transpired through the years since the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. Evidently, the natural kingdom is better off without humans interfering, and as if we didn't already know this. Whole ecosystems are now healthier then they were before the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl.

This is not to say that the disaster was good for the environment, only that all the humans left the region, and in the interim, the ghost town or region welcomed the returning species to the region and are multiplying since without any human interference.

Life Will Go On Without Us

This reassures me with what I've always believed. Life on planet earth will go on and do fine without us, and do even better without us and our dominating interference.

Chernobyl is a small region of the world and cannot compare to an ELE - Extinction Level Event - where all species on earth are wiped out rapidly. Our last ELE on earth lasted 30 million years until all systems were completely renewed. This is based on recent scientific evidence.

ELE

A lot of what we wrote and speculated about over the years since March 2011 Fukushima has actually come to pass and now is more mainstream knowledge. Now there are those also stating Fukushima nuclear disaster is an ELE event. We're already looking at dozens and dozens of Hiroshima events, and these Hiroshima's aren't ending at Fukushima as the reactors stand the same today as they did back in 2011 with no relief in sight as we enter into 2015.

Survival Guide

My best advice in terms of a survival guide is live each moment we have right now to the fullest.

Sure, follow the survival guides out there on the net, but I wouldn't suggest the use of algae and seaweed products for health and detoxifying. I'm seeing this is a popular suggestion in survival guides.

Seaweed and algae absorb radioactivity. It just doesn't make any sense to me to ingest radioactivity in hopes to detoxify it from my body? Obviously, stay away from crustaceans and other fish that dwell near the ocean's floor, such as Flounder etc.

Detoxifying

If you are worried about radiation and detoxification, better to mix some baking soda in water, or mix DE (FOOD GRADE ONLY) in water or juice. You can also drink some clay's with water as well. Alternatively, you can add clay's, baking soda, Epsom salts and sea salts to baths. All of the will provide detoxification of heavy metals and radiation without ingesting seaweed and algae products.

[Contradiction: DE is a fossilized algae, ancient algae in powder form. Use your own judgment on this product for detoxifying and never over use it - less is more. On a microscopic level, DE looks like shards of glass. And that's essentially what it is.]

I take all these baths for many years before the Fukushima disaster, so it hasn't been a change in my daily routine.

My only other suggestion is to stay away from meat as the higher up the food chain we go, the more radiation we ingest. The same goes for milk. I chose not to drink milk the first year right after March 11.

If you have cancer, find a doctor who will feed you sodium bicarbonate
[baking soda] intravenously. You don't need more chemotherapy [more radiation] or other medical trauma.

Elena Filatova Reminds Us of Chernobyl in Her New Book: Ghost Town

We wanted to write about Elena Filatova, an explorer at heart and creator of a 10-year online journal documenting her explorations by Motorcycle in the dead zone of (and beyond) Chernobyl. We highly recommend her website consisting of 10 years of intimate photojournalism into the behind the scenes story of what has really happened since the nuclear reaction at Chernobyl in 1986.

Her journals and photos are poignant while weaving political history, scientific antidotes, her personal impressions and true life stories of the abandoned people and animals, not only within the dead zone but in hundreds of ghost towns 40 to 80 kms away from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster site.

Elena Filatova has made exploring these areas and ghost towns a life long hobby and this year at the 10th anniversary of her website published Chernobyl Photobook ' Ghost Town.' The proceeds go toward the author buying food supplies and essentials for all those still remaining in the irradiated and abandoned ghost towns and villages to this day.

We are also fond of the authors journal 'Land of the Wolves.' And recently, her concerns are for the recent nuclear disaster at the Fukushima nuclear plants in Japan:

"Nowadays, we are moving from catastrophe to catastrophe so fast that no one has time to learn from what is happening, thus we are doomed to repeat it all again and again. Each time history repeats itself the price goes up. 

My aim is to take hold of important events I have witnessed and rescue from oblivion deeds that have been forgotten or chosen to have been forgotten. With time, cities perish and the memory of things is lost, so the sole purpose of my work is to preserve memories on the internet forever.

Since the Ghost Town site first went on the Internet in 2003, tens of millions visitors have viewed the Chernobyl information which it provides. This site is maintained by me, the author, and is completely free of all popup ads and spyware. There are no copyright issues. 

Work on this site is my hobby, which I pursue in my free time.""

We can't say enough good things about the authors courageous explorations into contaminated areas, her insights and obvious passion for her cause. In our mind's, Elena Filatova is the epitomy of what it means to be an explorer who explores the abandoned. 

Nostradamus Predictions of Fukushima, March 11, 2011:

In 1555, Nostradamus published his predictions/prophesies in codes arranged in quatrains. This peculiar style of writing was what Nostradamus chose to write in, in order to stay under the radar during his times. Nostradamus predicted three antichrists, three emperors, who would conquer vast areas, these were Napoleon (code named Napaulon Roy); Hitler (code named Histler); and Yazdi (code named Mabus). 

Check this out: The Fukushima Prophecies/Nostradamus Quatrain codes

“After great trouble for humanity, a greater one is prepared. The Great Mover (Possible French translations: Great Motor or the Great Engine (GE)), renews the ages: Rain, blood, milk, famine, steel and plague, is the heavens fire seen, a long spark running.”

 

GE

The Great Motor or Great Engine could be taken allegorically, like humanity doesn’t totally understand its total capacity for destructive power [humanity's capacity for hubris), but another simpler interpretation is rather interesting in these times right now. GE stands for General Electric; The Fukushima nuclear reactors are a General Electric design, with the architectural design created by Abasco, a company formerly owned by GE (After researching Abasco to see where the company is today, it appears they are in the market of oil spill response equipment (Just a coincidence?). 

 

History of General Electric

GE is a leader in technology all over the world including nuclear energy and nuclear weapons, and is one of the biggest multicorp’s today, also owning NBC (1986) (Comcast)(Is it coincidence that Comcast is the largest mass media and communications company in the world and there was a media blackout regarding Fukushima?). 

GE was boycotted in the 80’s and 90’s due to their part in nuclear weapon production.  

Moreover, since as early as 1972, concerns over the safety and design of these GE nuclear reactors have been raised. Various models of this design that we have been witnessing at Fukushima exist all over the United States. In 2011, I was slightly perturbed that the nuclear reactor site within three miles of where I lived in western Pennsylvania was the same GE design as the ones in Fukushima.

Is it possible ‘The Great Mover /Great Motor /Great Engine’ is the Nostradamus (decoded) code name for General Electric? Continue reading, there is more:

“During the appearance of the bearded star. The three great princes will be made enemies: Struck from the sky, peace earth quaking, Po, Tiber overflowing, serpent placed upon the shore.”

 

The Bearded Star

 

As we know, the bearded star refers to a comet and in the last few years a lot of people and groups have been discussing this possible comet, and when/where it is coming. A lot of mention was made to this bearded star during the Mayan end of calendar late 2012. 

(The serpent placed upon the shore could indicating the nuclear reactors in Japan at Fukushima.)

 

A Long Spark Running

Maybe you’ll have a similar moment where the ‘light bulb’ turns on like I did. (Yes, hint intended: Thomas Edison, founder of GE (The Edison General Electric Company/1890) and electric light and power industries (a long spark running): 

 

GE Logo

If you take a look at GE’S logo, only recently changed since the classic original in 1890, the symbolism depicts comets: This has now led me to think the comet some are waiting for is actually ‘past tense’ and Nostradamus prediction about the comet was referring to GE, the great engine or general electric. 

It looks Nostradamus may have predicted the Fukushima disaster on March 11, 2011. His prediction states the poisoning of waters and fish (poison hidden under the heads of salmon), and the great fire (nuclear radiation is a heat that never ends). Only time will tell. Since 1555, we’ve come to know the predictions of Histler and other predictions of Nostradamus were fairly precise. 

Lastly, if anything, do some research of your own about GE, and related companies to Fukushima, including TEPCO.  Corporate crime is a crime, and likely the most devastating crime of our times. In this age, corporations are the rulers of this planet, not government. The media is controlled by big corporation.

Educate yourself, dig deeper and make informed decisions about what you may or may not take for granted as the real ‘news’ in our media. And even if these predictions mean little to you, you'll have learned more about the corporation General Electric.

The Ultimate Abandonment of Civilization is Extinction

We are sorry. We were posting about the environmental tragedy of the Fukushima nuclear reactors in Japan for some time, and then things came up, and we thought Japan was onto things quicker in regards to cleanup as they suggested (We recollect the cold shut down was to commence no later than 2012). We and Tepco were wrong.

We are back. Never in our lives did we think we would ever be posting on our blog about abandoned places, people and ultimately about our potentially abandoned earth in the future.

But as explorers of the abandoned, we explore everything, sometimes by leaving only foot prints behind, and sometimes in our arm chairs looking onto events we cannot control, about complete abandoned civilizations as per 'Ecocide'.

At the root of all abandoned phenomenon, as we have believed right from the start, is the abandonment of our civilization, history and common sense. We have abandoned ourselves and one another, as depicted in the history of all abandoned places and people on this planet, including the ultimate extinction of so many great civilizations before ours, all overcome by various outcomes of ecocide. 

Weeks of Nuclear Fallout

As workers at Fukushima continue to battle ongoing issues at the nuclear plants, new information about radioactive fallout continues to make its appearance in the news today.

In the Asian News Network leaders are preparing Taiwan for a storm of fallout expected over the next few days.

“People should stay home while the nuclear fallout is here in order to avoid prolonged exposure, a specialist with the Veterans General Hospital said, adding those who must go out should immediately take off their clothes and cleanse nuclear contaminants from their bodies as soon as they are back home.”

“People should wear long-sleeved clothing and masks when they go out on a sunny day and carry an umbrella if it rains, said AEC's Lee Jo-chan, who also recommended cleansing showers, but not iodine tablets and table salt.”

Later, the following day, Taiwan withdrew its expectation of fallout as winds took a different direction.

French authorities have detected radioactive iodine-131 in the rainwater and milk in France. A sample of rainwater tested on March 28 showed radioactivity levels of 8.5 becquerel. According to the CRIIRAD, contamination of the air and rain water will continue for at least the next few weeks.

Meanwhile, in San Francisco rainwater is radiated 181 times above the US drinking standards. The University of Berkley is also said to have tested tap water. A tap water sample contained 0.024 ± 0.014 Becquerels per liter, which is lower than the tested rainwater samples.

Also in the news today, “The U.S. Department of Energy has testified that there is no level of radiation that is so low that it is without health risks,” Jacqueline Cabasso, the Executive Director of the Western States Legal Foundation stated.

“That means all this talk about what a worker or the public can withstand on a yearly basis is bogus. There is no safe level of radiation exposure. These so-called safe levels are coming from within the nuclear establishment.”

She further comments on the perils of using natural background radiation norms as a rule of a thumb in the current fallout scenario, “But more than 2,000 nuclear tests have enhanced this background radiation level, so we are already living in an artificially radiated environment due to all the nuclear tests.”

This month marks the 25th anniversary of Chernobyl. Last week also marked the 32nd anniversary of the Three Mile Island nuclear disaster in Pennsylvania.

Regarding Chernobyl,“There are still no-go areas there, and the workers town has long since been abandoned, and we are seeing radioactive refugees from there, like we are now seeing generated in Japan,” says Dr. Kathleen Sullivan. “So we don’t understand this mistake because of the timeless invisible nature of the problem that radiation is,” says Sullivan, who has been an education consultant to the UN Office for Disarmament Affairs.

Meanwhile on the topic of radioactive dispersion globally, Andrea Stahl, a senior scientist at the Norwegian Institute for Air Research, told Reuters, “It’s only a matter of days before it disperses in the entire northern hemisphere.”

Scientists continue to debate whether nuclear fission is indeed an ongoing concern at the Fukushima plants after detecting neutrons in samples, and multiple sightings of neutron beams at the reactors.

One thing that seems agreed upon in the news today: we can expect to hear more about nuclear fallout dispersing worldwide over the next few weeks, at least - if not months. 

The Ionizing Radiation Coverup

A few days ago we wrote about the differences between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, and why we can't compare eating a non-ionized banana to receiving low doses of ionizing radiation from Japan. For weeks we debated why certain media reps' and officials were downplaying the potential health effects from low-level ionizing radiation to the public.


Perhaps one reason was as simple as psychological denial. The other, as we feared, could be to maintain order from a large-scale panic and slowly feed the public unusual data over longer intervals.

We'd like to look at the evidence and data surrounding the Low Level Radiation Campaign(llrc.org), and how it plays an impact for many of our friends around the world since March 11th, 2011.

Dr. Busby recently published an article on the Fukushima Radiation Risks. The British scientist studies the long-term health effects of ionizing radiation. Although for weeks the public has been told by experts that there are very few similarities between Chernobyl and Fukushima, Dr. Chris Busby says that they are very similar in the ways we are all being lied to about the seriousness of health consequences later down the road. An extensive video explains the concepts of the Low Level Radiation Campaign, for those not familiar with it.

Where the problems seem to stem is in the outdated model being used by nuclear agencies, the UN, educators and the media. When we keep hearing such statements, such as "miniscule levels of radiation," or "low levels of radiation are safe," it is because these are referring to the outdated model from the International Commission of Radiological Protection (ICRP.org).

However, The European Committee on Radiation Risk (ECRR) developed a different model, which determines internal absorption of ionizing radiation. The model correlates higher cancer rates with low-level doses of ionizing radiation 100 times over the ICRP's risk model. For instance, with a population of 30 million in Tokyo, the older ICRP model predicts a 100 deaths from cancer over the next 50 years with radiation levels at 100 to 500 nSv/hour. The low level ECRR model predicts 120,000 deaths under the same parameters. Birth defects, heart disease and other health risks are also calculated.

However, if this sounds alarming regarding the vast gulf between the two models' predicted numbers of cancer rates, Dr. Busby frankly speaks out on Russian television in this video about Japan and Fukushima about the health effects for Japanese people.

Another video, a trip down memory lane into Chernobyl history, where Dr. Busby (and others) suggest that Chernobyl was a partial cover-up regarding the risks and health effects of its fallout. Scientists even go so far to say the cover-up in Chernobyl amounts to genocide. This video, Nuclear Controversies, created by Wladimir Tchertkoff (2003), details scientists debating at the UN regarding Chernobyl's long-term health effects.

What can we make of it and what should we do in our current crisis of low-level radiation coming from Fukushima? Why even today is the low-level radiation model regarded in a trivial manner in comparison to other models and theories?

Published April 4th 2011, the Herald Sun Reports that Japan withheld radiation levels between the 12th of March until the 24th. The data was higher than previously reported over a more extended area of coverage than previously revealed. The public reasoning is that officials did not know how high the radiation levels were at the time, until much later.

We suspect much more is to come over the next months. We have yet to know the full extent of the truth.

Frustrated with the Nuclear Climate?

Are you frustrated with the possibility of a nuclear meltdown? Or simply, not knowing if there will be one because of the nuclear climate these days?

A whole week has gone by since Japan's Fukushima partial nuclear meltdown began, and we're already tired of the old rhetoric, simplified data and explanations.

We'll continue to post on whatever news, data or facts we come across in the days ahead. But for now we want to ask this question: Does something seem off-center to you how events are being reported about the Fukushima nuclear plants?: Like no one should 'panic' Sayeth the Officials?

We only have One Planet, One Chance.We only have One Life too. Why is natural concern translated into panic? Not knowing the true facts and data makes many people more apt to panic. Is it too much to ask?
