Fukushima: The Untouchable Eco-Apocalypse No One Is Talking AboutBy Alex Pietrowski The media, politicians and the world at large seem to be engaging in extreme denial regarding Fukushima. A survey of mainstream media coverage of the fallout of this event reveals the trend of covering this story as a human interest affair, not as the immediate threat it truly is. The effects on nature are already being seen, yet even among the environmentalist factions of media, there is strong denial of the damage already done and of what is to come as the crisis approaches its sixth year. Some 300 tons of radioactive water are dumped into the Pacific Ocean each day, and signs are showing that this catastrophe is gravely affecting sea-life and wildlife in and around the Pacific. The FDA maintains that there is no evidence of contamination by Fukushima-borne radionuclides in the American food supply, yet this opinion is contested by some independent researchers. A report by the Fairewinds Energy Educationsays that cancer is on the rise in areas around the failed power plant, and that millions will die in coming years as a result. As election year in the U.S. approaches its dramatic climax, it has been striking to observe that neither of the major two-party candidates, or third-party candidates for that matter, have mentioned this crisis at all during the entire election run up. It is a non-issue in American politics, and if youre listening, the silence is deafening. Thus far, all plans to stopradioactive contamination of the Pacific Ocean and the Japanese Islands have failed, the most impressive of which is the construction of a $320 million underground wall of frozen dirt to block the seepage of groundwater into surrounding areas. 1oo feet deep and over a mile long, the land-side impermeable wallis already failing as rainfall from recent typhoons has caused partial melting of sections of the ice wall. A previous and ongoing cleanup effort requiring the onsite storage of contaminated water near the Fukushima Daiichi is merely a band-aid as radioactive water continues to accumulate by the day, with no long-term plan for proper disposal. The reality here is that this crisis is untouchable in its scope and unparalleled in its lethality, and TEPCOs 40-year-plan to decommission the plant will be a failure. No one of significant import is talking about this crisis or working to elevate it as a national and international priority. The American political scene is focused instead on the selection of the next president being chosen between two candidates who clearly have zero interest in addressing this dire issue. Is this because nothing can be done about it? Is this because the energy industry is controlling the conversation and covering up the truth? Or is this because the agenda for the U.S. at present is geared to destabilization and a push for expansion of the Orwellian Permanent War, and ecological disasters are supportive of the global depopulation scheme in play? In any case, the Fukushima meltdown is a slow-burning apocalyptic event that desperately needs our attention.

This is Pandoras Box opened set loose on the world ignominiously swept under the carpet of our collectively contrived busy misdirected purposely distracted / alpha-waved sleep-walking myopic busy lives. Yes, and the way that perpetual war is promoted which can, and has to, eventually, only lead to total annihilation of biological integrity through mass nuclear contamination. Makes one realise that total eeevil has overtaken here. Not Evil as an universal subject but eeevil as in how a wobbly young dear will see an on rushing hyena because that is actually what is really happening. We are being predated on and parasitized and the left-over husk will be incinerated when that fkkng thing is done with us. How the fck are we going to wake up the rest of humanity before it is too late because it is humanity that will be used to finally annihilate each other as that is the modus operandi of that fkkng thing. The internet will be slashed soon so then there will be NO possibility of warning the populations. This information war has been going on since at least when this obscure, skulking hyena caused the dark ages. Well articulated at the crux of the mattercan only suggest that we all need to realize that we are all (for the most part) eternal souls..you dont have a soul..You are a soul!here for a very temporary visit -relatively speakingBest to get ones own spiritual house in order Im not even slightly Religious'[sic]by concentrating on the ephemeral transient metaphysical aspects of life that you simply cant take with you the numinous qualities of our essence if you will cheers I certainly am in deep congruence with your philosophy that we live as souls here for a fleeting moment. Best of luck in your region Eddy, Cheers Cheers
