. Anyone consider Fukushima a genuine threat to seafood and other food sources? I notice only the fringe news sources seem to cover it, the major ones have largely dismissed the importance of nuclear waste that continues to leak into the Pacific Ocean. I feel that major news sources don't cover Fukushima just to prevent world wide pandemonium, and because the government won't allow it.
I definitely think it's a genuine concern, at least for those eating seafood on the west coast. And I agree with what you are saying about the news outlets. I'm disappointed in the fact we live in a society where we have no idea if something is a genuine concern. Every institution, from gov't to media to education are all agenda based. It's gotten to the point where I'm almost completely apathetic and just do my things that I can actually control or influence.
Oarfish have been washing ashore in California. No bueno. Fish bleeding eyeballs, seal death epidemic, polar bears losing fur with open sores. http://www.lewrockwell.com/2013/10/michael-snyder/fukushima-contamination-hits-the-west-coast/
Do some more research, seals over populate and die off. When some fish die there eyes fill with blood.
Nothing in the last few years has underlined more that in today's corporate world, profits come before people.
The threat is Atmospheric Radiation. 167 Hiroshima bombs worth EVERY day STILL to this day blowing AWAY from Japan and ONTO USA THIS was the plan = irradiate USA causing genetic damage that will take several thousand yrs to fade out.
the economy is hurting it more that this. Most of my fish is a Japanese market to begin with. And the other half is a west coast fresh market of a west coast fish.
i ran "fukushima" through the internet anagram server and am pleased to report that there is no conspiracy code so that means we're all safe Auks If Hum Auk Fish Mu Auk Fish Um Auk If Hums Auk If Mush Auk Ifs Hum A If Husk Mu A If Husk Um A If Uh Musk Fa Husk I Mu Fa Husk I Um Fa Uh I Musk Fa Uh Ski Mu Fa Uh Ski Um Ask If Uh Mu Ask If Uh Um Ska If Uh Mu Ska If Uh Um
So.. if Japan and the west coast are your target markets and most people are aware of this issue you don't think it's hurting it? I don't really understand why people keep saying the economy is bad. I'm out of control busy, working a lot more than is probably healthy but can barely keep track of my money. Maybe I just found some insulated niche or something. People don't want to trade in their cars on new ones anymore, they'd rather pay thousands to rebuild it. Probably because of the economy.
Halibut and Sable (black cod) are a higher end fish, people who eat them know more about fish. But still these foolish articles don't help.
Fuc U Shi Ma Fuck You She Ma = Destroy You Mother Earth Arnie Gunderson Leuren Moret and several other physicists stated that western USA should've been evacuated based on rad levels which continue to today. The Bush family bought over 100 thousand hectares of land in Paraguay. A place safe from radiation.
January 6, 2014 – CALIFORNIA – Predictions that Fukushima’s radioactive ocean plume would hit the west coast of the U.S. sometime in 2014 may have already come to pass, with a new video showing Geiger counter readings of background radiation at a beach in San Francisco over five times the safe level. Days after a YouTube video emerged showing background radiation at a Coastside beach reaching over 150 micro-REM per hour, Health officials in San Mateo County confirmed the spike but said they were “befuddled” as to its cause. However, officials dismissed the possibility that the readings could be linked to Fukushima radiation reaching the west coast despite forecasts by experts last summer that radioactive particles from Fukushima would reach U.S. coastal waters in 2014. The video shows a man measuring radiation readings at different spots on a beach south of Pillar Point Harbor. Background radiation in the areas immediately surrounding the beach are normal, but once the man approaches the water itself, the radiation spikes to at least 500 per cent safe levels and the Geiger counter’s alarm goes off. The man behind the video claims that on his previous visit to the same beach, radiation readings were 13 times the safe level. “In the following days, other amateurs with Geiger counters began posting similar videos online,” reports the Half Moon Bay Review. “The videos follow other alarming news last month that starfish were mysteriously disintegrating along the West Coast, a trend that has not been linked yet to any cause.” The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and state Department of Public Health are now investigating the cause of the radiation and more information is expected to be released this week. TEPCO and the Japanese government have repeatedly been caught lying in their efforts to downplay the scale of the Fukushima disaster. In September it was confirmed that radiation readings around the power plant were 18 times higher than previously reported by TEPCO. After a tank leaked 300 tons of toxic water in August, groundwater radiation readings at the plant soared to 400,000 becquerels per liter, the highest reading since the nuclear accident occurred in March 2011. EPA officials in America also lied in the weeks after 9/11 when they told rescue workers and the general public that the air at ground zero was safe to breathe. According to insiders, EPA officials knew that the dust in the air was laden with asbestos but chose to cover up the truth, leading to at least 20,000 ground zero workers suffering debilitating illnesses and numerous deaths. Mainstream media outlets have also largely toed the line on Fukushima despite overwhelming evidence of a cover-up of the true scale of the crisis by Japanese authorities. Former MSNBC host Cenk Uygur was told not to warn the public about the danger posed by the meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear plant during his time as a host on the cable network. Concerns that the federal government is preparing for some form of nuclear emergency have heightened after it was revealed that the Department of Health and Human Services has ordered 14 million doses of potassium iodide, the compound that protects the body from radioactive poisoning in the aftermath of severe nuclear accidents, to be delivered before the beginning of February. –Info Wars
i consider the unknown unknown. maybe it is and maybe it isn't. certainly for japan itself and its love of sea food and its local fishing industry, yes the threat is quite real. more then a threat, and existing reality. a matter of luck as to how temporary though. as for the rest of the world, the fishing industry everywhere is threatend by its own effeciency and the level of human population.
