Japan Disaster! Hit By 9.0 Earthquake, Huge Tsunami, Nukes Meltdown
UPDATE 8/26: Japan's Prime Minister has resigned due to the fallout from the government's response to the tsunami and Fukushima nuclear meltdowns.
Japan was hit with an earthquake measuring 8.9, followed by huge, devastating tsunami of up to 7.3 meters (25 feet). The entire Pacific Rim is under a tsunami alert including Hawaii, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Guam, Marianas, Russia, Indonesia, South America too! More than a dozen aftershocks have hit, many over 6.0.
The damage to Japan is extensive including a huge oil refinery which has blown up!
Warning now extended to Pacific West Coast of USA...
Absolutely AMAZING video footage available on CNN and other news stations.

Only conspiracy theorists think people conspire to do everything bad that happens in the world. To me that is a very dangerous perspective since it allows you to throw your hands up and say we can't do anything since the conspirators control everything, which is so far from reality.
To me conspiracy theories are perpetuated by those who want to keep the people down, thinking they have no power to do or change anything, when in fact, they do! |

They've extended the evacuation area around the Nuke plant to 10K now, due to the radiation leak. It was only one k before...
Chile has issued a tsunami warning for Easter Island.

The US has several reactors on fault lines, esp. in California.

Diablo Canyon is designed to withstand a 7.5 magnitude earthquake from four faults, including the nearby San Andreas and Hosgri faults.[1] Equipped with advanced seismic monitoring and safety systems, the plant is designed to shut down safely in the event of significant ground motion

Now imagine what an 8.9 earthquake can do to the Diablo Canyon Reactors. |

They're right when they say it's nominal. If you took brazil nuts into a nuclear power station you'd legally have to consider them nuclear waste since they naturally have a higher radioactive level than is legally allowed in the ambient areas of a nuclear power plant.

They're venting slightly radioactive steam, which as long as you're not standing on top of the smokestack breathing it in poses no danger to anyone. People are extremely paranoid of nuclear power and ironically moves like this just feed into it. Sure maybe people at the power station itself should stay inside, but there's no reason for people 6 miles away to stay inside, people 10-20 miles away from a coal fired plant probably breath in more radioactive particles on a daily basis than what's coming out of here. It's like when they move nuclear waste, they close down entire streets, basically give it a whole military division of security, ect when it's completely unneeded, but because they do that the public thinks one wrong turn and their town is going to be blown off the map. |

you're wrong Skip. Their is one truth and a lot of deception. What you are exposed to, everything in the Media, encyclopedias, news, movies and books -everything- is owned by a very few elite with occult (meaning hidden knowledge) agenda that you are not privy to, by design. They have your thoughts on track to accept the very things they are staging. Now only 5 corporations, who collude to push a very specific agenda, control and present scripted events to you...there are things going on that you are very unaware about. I know you are not stupid and I am not disrespecting you or mocking you. This is all lies and with very old agenda...in the end and in a nut shell, Lucifer the Sun bearer is against us and his prophecies are being held out and pushed to usher in a new age.
It takes a lot of research and even more penitence to sift through the disinformation and shills out there present half truths and confusion. That's why people associate the truth and it's seekers as crazy.
We are all intelligent but the notion today is that we are not. Nobody is superman or supreme in logic. We all have it. Think.
The conspiracy theorist are actually the very people and organizations that you trust and go to and pay to be exposed to.
Truth has a bad connotation today...hmm I wonder why!
Peace, friend.

It was a 8.9 right? The one that devastated Indonesia in 2004 was 9.0.

I do feel terrible about this happening. There have been so many natural disasters in the world over the past few years.  |

Actually what for the perspective of the ordinary individual in the masses, bearing the suddenly basic requirements for survival, there may be actions to assume that there is no choice for their situation. You count on the authorities and they too have no choice. But the American security and military authorities are already involved. The choice came from the top, and no doubt was gratefully received by the local civilians.
This is easy now. But what if there was some way for Choices to exist to start civilization over again. Instead of feeling like looting and pilfering, and generally turning on your fellowman, some people could return to let's say to the Samurai life. Good chance to move out of the city anyway.
The government might want to know and be against that.
Really, the Indonesian was 9.0 on the rictor scale. And we are going further from anything of any post-modernist solution for affluence, for organic farming let's say, OR a more appropriate constitution of the land permitting the true styles of the original indigenous people.
