[WhiteyRound Eye says: I noticed with interest the date they launched this. The Pentagon loves their symbology in the use of dates. Why did they not wait one extra day to begin the air strikes?? They had waited so long as it was. It really would not have altered materially what has since transpired on the ground. But no they chose to launch the strike dead on the same day as the Iraq mess began. Bastards. Also on Bill Hicks' note on the fact we are getting fucked in the ass it brings to mind some classic scenes we saw in Brussels the other day as Belgium was also rocked by massive anti Austerity riots in the recent days:]

Radiation Update

Thankfully those of us in the Southern Hemisphere are still being spared any physical outcomes from the Nuclear Disaster. However we have not been spared the outrageous disinformation attack from the nuclear lobby (and strangely somehow some in the GREEN Lobby have joined them) in saying this disaster proves nuclear is 100 per cent safe. This outrageous and disgusting disinformation (its rude to the workers bravely sacrificing their lives to stop this mess if nothing else) has reached a peak in the land of balls out bullshit and lying at all costs no matter what is going on (the USofA).
[Ferretous says: yeah so safe that USS Ronald Reagan just left port in Japan, sailed beyond an extended potential fallout zone and scrubbed their decks for radiation. But we all know what a bleeding heart leftie Ronald Reagan was. Check out the Disinfo in that article. The following two sentences sit right next to each other LOL
1) "THE aircraft carrier USS George Washington was moved this week from its Japanese port to avoid a potentially costly and complex clean-up to remove traces of radiation, the US Navy revealed."
2) "The carrier did not face an acute, near-term radiation threat that would have forced its departure from Yokosuka"
Ah yes, top class reporting!]
[WhiteyRound Eye says: Notice the disinformation here. Even the age can't keep up. Earlier in the crisis the USS Ronald Reagan was pulled back for radiation fears. And that photo seems to show the deck of the Ronald Reagan being swabbed. Yet the text of the story indicates the George Washington is being pulled back. So I wonder what's going on and how many ships have now been pulled back. Given that these ships are nuclear powered as well you would think that the US Military has the longest history of dealing with Reactors and Nuclear Radiation. And their behaviour does not seem to indicate that they think its so amazingly safe. So come on Fux News you are supposed to love the US military why are you betraying them by suggesting that they are overreacting and they should be giving their crews shore leave for skin treatments and facial peels in the Core Pools?? This disinfo is probably the worst we have ever witnessed.]
Talk about a nation that has a "State Television" channel that is completely devoid of reality. Matches completely its Arabic counterparts. City might be burning but a shot of a calm street will be on state TV. Nuclear contamination might be breaking out but suddenly the past 50 years of Physics just changed so don't worry its GREAT for you!!! (In fairness to O'Reilly at least he couldn't even let that slide through completely unchallenged. He kept them at least one step back from total Arab State Media for now at least. Still close enough.)
[Ferretous says: #alittlebitofknowledgeisdangerous ... there are some significant scientists who are delving into Radiation Hormesis and yes it actually could be true that a little radiation could be good BUT ... it has to be the right type of radiation and would need to be somewhat controlled. The radiation from fallout from a meltdown or reactor release is NOT this type of radiation. Also ingesting radiation through contaminated foods or inhaling radioactive particles can be extremely dangerous and almost guarantees problems. This is where a little bit of information can be disinformative even if it is true. NUANCE is the key to truth ... Nuance hah check out the wiki page dedicated to Nuance ... exemplifies the lack of awareness of adherence to nuanced argument since the internet was born ... FOX doesn't know the meaning of the word truth and doesn't have the patience for nuance ... good on Bill Reilly though (uuurrrghh shudder) ... I don't think Radiation Hormesis principles suggest that Nuclear Meltdowns should be welcomed - and Ann Coulter is a prize biatch]
Really this is just getting ridiculous. If you are going to break your contract with the populations you are 'controlling' or 'informing' to such an extent that you just become ridiculous parodies like the "Information Minister" of Iraq was during the invasion of 2003 then you are lost.
No one will believe anything you say even when you are trying to deliver real information. And the people will have lost all respect of you and the entire system of death and misery you are peddling. Just give up and fuck off to Dubai already. Or even better if you love Radiation so much go to Fukushima. There is a movement building to buy a ticket for Ann Coulter to head over there:
We should send some from the Australian mining fraternity and Parliament there along with her. Go on you greedy bastards. Boil up some radioactive spinach in the melting core pools and have a party for us all. Prove to us how safe your precious Radiation is. We are all over your shit.
URGENT REQUEST TO THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY!!
First we have seen in one of the states of this nation called Virginia a number of peaceful protesters gathering to show solidarity for a member of the armed forces that is being imprisoned and tortured for letting the world know what is going on in his country. Many former soldiers were present at this rally this was no "hippy mungbean fest". And just like we are seeing across the other countries facing dictators now the Police were sent in AGAINST these Army personnel. And these are not just standard police but full scale paramilitary police with masked faces and loaded automatic weapons facing off against peaceful protesters:
Just like we have seen in Egypt this is night of the long knives stuff.
And as this despotic nation turns on peaceful protesters in its own borders its military has death squads overseas slaughtering civilian populations.
It is quite obvious that action must be taken immediately against this rogue nation. The international community must immediately begin an air war over this nation, the United States of America and carpet bomb this country from sea to shining sea in order to 'save the protesters' and stop the killing of civilians.
Hopefully a missile or two will find its way to Obama's rat hole and turn his Nobel Peace Prize into a glowing chunk of melted metal that is just the right size for insertion in the mad bastards anus!!!
Either way it seems only fair the UN should immediately sanction air strikes on the United States of America. If nothing else to safeguard all the oil supplies and strategic storage reserves that come from this nation. Think of the Oil people!! SAVE THE OIL BOMB AMERICA!

Total Agnotological Awareness
Its using Agnotology that allowed the Uranium industry of Australia to announce today that there will be no threat to human health with the disaster in Japan.
Yeah right thats why the US military wont allow its members to get too much exposure and why large areas are being evacuated at huge cost and difficulty in the already disaster wracked area. If its so safe why not just leave everyone where they are and let everyone eat the radioactive spinach? Why refer to the brave workers trying to halt the meltdown as Nuclear Samurai and refer to their mission as a 'suicide' mission?? BECAUSE ITS NOT FREAKING SAFE YOU GREEDY MINE BASTARDS.
Of course we will still probably mine such materials for radiological health applications. But to say nuclear power is just totally safe like some at the Australian conference so dismissivly did surely gives us the right to attempt to capture and put on trial such CEO's in self defence as they threaten to exterminate the entire species with their greed?

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
[WhiteyRound Eye says: So I am no expert but you can read more on reading Radiation levels on the site of the detector we are using. The individual who is operating it for us is much more knowledgeable on these things and assures me we should be seeing a reading between 0.15 and 0.20 CPS as our normal background hum here in Melbourne. If we start to see levels elevating above that we should start paying attention. This is not to suggest that we will be anywhere near radiation sickness levels if we do start to creep above that but just that something of note is going on that we should start paying attention to. Of course if the Plant goes off properly there is no telling where the wind will take the fall out. Very interesting times if you are into your Thermonuclear Apocalypse type lifestyle.]
[Ferretous says: interesting point of information from our friends at Ganymede Services (no not the office of the Space Dolphin! GS hosts the bright spark who brought the world the beer can widget) ... check out "Hormesis" described as follows "hormesis is any stimulatory or beneficial effect, induced by low doses of an agent, that can not be predicted by the extrapolation of detrimental or lethal effects induced by high doses of the same agent." When applied to radiation the emphasis is on SMALL amounts! Anyway, if we get a small increase from background, it could actually be beneficial to health ... how about that!?]
[Greg the Bunny says: yeah, but he did say only SMALL amounts ... not sure if people anywhere close to an accident would get only a small amount so this is not a concept which leads to a conclusion that we SHOULD have radiation leaks every now and again to stay healthy ... that would be an inductive logical flaw]
[Ferretous says: if you are interested in finding out more, Bunny, a good book to read would be ...
Radiation Hormesis and the Linear-No-Threshold Assumption by Charles L. Sanders, publisher: Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 2010
... here's an exceprt ...
"Take the case of “an almost perfect study in a human population that demonstrates the highly significant protective effects of near-continuous exposure to gamma radiation.” This case involved more than 180 apartment buildings that had been constructed in Taiwan in the early 1980s using recycled steel that was subsequently discovered to have been contaminated with radioactive cobalt-60. The 10,000 people who were housed there received large doses of radiation over a period of nine to 20 years that, according to LNT theory, should have led to a total of 302 cancer deaths over the 1983-2003 period studied, 232 of which would have been ordinarily expected had no radiation exposure occurred, with the additional 70 stemming from the exposure. To the researchers’ surprise, however, only seven cancer deaths were found, 225 fewer than would have been expected had the buildings been free of radiation. Instead of radiation increasing the death toll by 30%, it may have reduced the death toll by a staggering 97%.
The number of birth defects among children born in this radioactive environment also confounded LNT theory. Instead of the 48 defects expected, just three occurred."
(again, thanks to Ganymede Services for supplying the info)
... the book is quite comprehensive and up to date ... let us know what you think after reading it Bunny]
[Greg the Bunny says: all this reading ... so much stuff to learn ... far out ... this is why I come here to this website Ferretous ... so that you guys can filter the world for complicated stuff leaving me to read "reality in 500 words" synopses! Gosh, what, now you expect ME to do the legwork!? I'm Gen Y. You know that don't you?]
[SockRatEz says: hey hey Bunny, Gen Y is just another label to pigeon hole humans in order to simplify reality so as not to have to bother to engage people on an individual basis. If you are lazy and cannot keep up with things, don't drag a third of the world's population in with you purely based on age alone! ... lol ... there are plenty of other better reasons!]
[Ferretous says: I'll remind you both that some of your good friends are Gen Y ... Bunny! You're bloody Gen Y!!]
[SockRatEz says: you don't know how old I am ... does that make me in-gen-ious to you?]
[Ferretous says: eh ... ... no]
[HappyAppleStarlight says: hey this is great! maybe the airport porno scanners are actually good for us!][SockRatEz says: Lol ... your poor thing!]
