Owl: Made in Japan Radioactive, Unsafe, Moving Toward Lethal

Who? Who?

The data in this article is phenomenal – it shows tables of information containing test results for radioactivity in major foodstuffs in Japan, and it shows virtually all of it is contaminated beyond safe levels!

Don't Buy Anything Made in Japan!

“The Japanese people are beset by a food chain that has been thoroughly compromised by radioactive cesium. As a result, there is no longer any public confidence in the integrity of Japan’s food inspection system. Almost all edibles tested in Japan contain radioactive cesium, and it has now been verified that shiitake mushrooms in Miyoshi City, Hiroshima Prefecture have tested above the statutory limit for radioactive cesium. Thus, radioactive cesium has now spread far beyond Fukushima Prefecture. Like the HIV-tainted blood scandal of the 1980’s, Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has once again been blindsided due to the lack of a proactive plan…There is now virtually continuous testing of edibles in many prefectures of Japan, and more than 2,300 samples (as of August 2, 2012) have tested over the statutory limits for radioactive iodine and/or cesium. Radioactive cesium is also now being detected in food products manufactured in Japan. Therefore, there is extreme concern about short selling of food sector equities listed on Japanese stock exchanges.”

Fukushima. Radiactive Cesium Contamination of Japan's Food Chain.
Almost all edibles contain radioactive cesium. Rivers and lakes are contaminated

One wonders what else besides food is contaminated. Do automobiles, electronics (TVs, laptops, etc.) – which are exported to the US and elsewhere – have dangerous radioactive residues? What will happen if this is the case, and the rest of the world refuses to buy Japanese products and foodstuffs? It would collapse the Japanese economy, leading to possibly incalculable world-wide economic repercussions. Such a possibility or probability is the likely reason why the Japanese government has lied about the truly dire nature of the situation in Japan. In light of this, it seems the worst-case scenario of the entire Japanese population abandoning the island and moving elsewhere – China? or eastern Russia? – becomes much more likely.

(08/08/12) DENVER – Coloradans soon will have a new health insurance option – and this one is “owned” by consumers.

Called the Colorado Health Insurance Cooperative, it's based on models pioneered in other industries, such as farmers' co-ops for crops or
electricity, or member-owned businesses such as credit unions.

Winslow Wheeler: USAF Lies Big on F-22, Sacrifices Pilots, Zero Integrity

Corruption, Knowledge, Military, Politics
Winslow Wheeler

I have spoken to several people who have been closely following the problem of the F-22's extremely serious physiological impact on its own pilots and ground crew.  Not one of these people found Major General Charles Lyon's performance last week in a DOD briefing convincing.  If anything the general's assertion that the problems can all be traced to a valve for a pressure vest previously worn by F-22 pilots has provoked profound skepticism.

Pierre Sprey and I recently participated in a blog posted yesterday at POGO on this matter.  Pierre addressed some of the F-22 performance, equipment and physiological issues in General Lyon's comments; I addressed the transparency, completeness and reliability of the Air Force's reporting thus far.  While we both only addressed what we perceive as the tip of the iceberg, we were very unimpressed, to say the least.

Winslow Wheeler: Military Spending True Lies True Costs

Commerce, Corruption, Government, Military
Winslow Wheeler

While Buck McKeon and Lindsey Graham continue to join with Lockheed-Martin in their jobs scare campaign, Ben Freeman at POGO did some fascinating research. Bearing in mind that the dreaded doomsday machine of sequester would return DOD spending to 2006 levels of spending (adjusted for inflation), Ben looked at how major contractor revenue and employment in 2006 compare to the most recent data for 2011.

The answer provides an essential backdrop to what Lockheed and its messengers are attempting to foist.  US government revenues to five major defense contractors increased from $101 billion in 2006 to $113 billion in 2011 (+10%); meanwhile their overall employee count declined by over 18,000 (-3%).
The numbers for Lockheed are more dramatic: again in inflation adjusted dollars, Lockheed-Martin government revenues went up $6.7 billion or 18 percent, while it shed 17,000 employees, a decrease of 12 percent.
The data put the lie to what Lockheed, McKeon, Graham and others are trying to imply: if you “rescue” the defense budget with more money, you will save jobs.  These data from POGO make interesting grist for Lockheed, McKeon, Graham and their allies to explain.

Mini-Me: Wisconsin Sikh False Flag? Multiple Shooters Witnessed

Huh?

Wisconsin Sikh Shooting False Flag: Multiple Shooters, Army Psy-OPs, the FBI, Operation Gladio, and the SPLC

EXTRACT

A major question that remains in regards to Wade Michael Page is whether or not he was actually the live shooter or was set up as a patsy like so many other lone gunman in the past.

Following almost exactly the same pattern as the Colorado Theater Batman Shooting, numerous eyewitnesses have reported at least 4 different shooters just as the FBI claims that there is no reason to believe there was more than one shooter.

Family members of victims in the shooting reported that there were multiple shooters and one eyewitness even noted that men were seen casing the area beforehand.

“Between ten and ten-thirty, four white males who were dressed darkly, dressed in all black clothing, came in and opened fire on our congregation.”

The leader of the temple also confirmed that he had seen at least two suspicious looking men looking over the area before the shooting.

Clearly this shooting seems to be an organized operation and is being covered up by the corporate media as they push the lone gunman neo-nazi narrative down the throats of America, completely ignoring all witness accounts and other inconvenient facts that would expose this horrific false flag.

Read full post with videos and photos.

Phi Beta Iota:  Elements of the US Government — including elements within the US Army, the CIA, and the FBI as well as elements within the JCS, have been documented–indisputably documented–as being engaged in the murder of US citizens for political purposes and/or accepting murder of US citizens as a necessary cost of doing business.  We are concerned.  This incident will not be honestly investigated, as 9/11 was not honestly investigated, as Waco, Oklahoma, the USS Liberty, and so many other events have not been honestly investigated.  The US Government desperately needs a ruthless counterintelligence service, but first it needs an honest Congress and an honest White House.

Mini-Me: Bailout Money Went to China, USG Prepares for Martial Law?

Huh?

Government Silently Positions for Martial Law as Financial Collapse Arrives in America

. . . . . .

Santilli explains that his knowledge of Rex 84 provides that within the document, one of the scenarios that would cause a complete suspension of the US Constitution, Bill of Rights and implement martial law would be a financial collapse. He says once the collapse occurs, the US government and defense agencies estimate they have a 72 hour window to activate all procedures to ensure continuity of government as well as a lockdown of the general population as civilian unrest, riots and outbreaks of violence are anticipated.

. . . . . .

The Deutsche Bank informant says that the cause for the bailout of the banks was a large sum of cash needed quickly to repay China who had purchased large quantities of mortgage-backed securities that went belly-up when the global scam was realized. When China realized that they had been duped into buying worthless securitized loans which would never be repaid, they demanded the actual property instead. The Chinese were prepared to send their “people” to American shores to seize property as allocated to them through the securitized loan contracts.

Read full post.

Phi Beta Iota:   On the Chinese receiving a payoff (as well as the Russians), probably–perhaps a third.  Explicit death threats against Goldman Sachs owners and others in Wall Street were in the air at the time.  Unlike the “control fraud” that characterizes the US Government, the Chinese and Russians know their bankers by name, and hold them accountable for fraud.  On martial law: probably but ineffectively.  The US Government is rapidly approaching its limits.  It is not possible to micro-manage complexity in collapse.  What the US Government (and the Department of Homeland Security specificially) should be doing is accelerating local resilience as fast as possible –all stop on the industrial-era prok, full-speed ahead on everything that makes local water, food, energy, and health a reality.

NIGHTWATCH: Syrian Alawites in Fight to the Death (or Exile) – Phi Beta Iota: The Era of MINORITY Rule by Violence Is OVER

Civil Society, Corruption, Cultural Intelligence, Culture, Ethics, Government, P2P / Panarchy, Politics

Syria: On 6 August, just days after the government declared Damascus nearly rid of rebel fighters, a bomb detonated on the third floor of Syria's state television and radio building in Damascus, leaving several people injured, according to Syrian state television.

Comment: The Syria opposition's tactics resemble those of the Afghan mujahedin who fought the Soviet forces. As long as they remained diffuse and confederated, they never presented a center of mass or central structure that the Soviets could target. They could execute bombings and ambushes at will, but never win the conflict until massive US, Saudi, and Pakistani assistance to the “muj” made the fight too expensive for Moscow to sustain.

A major difference is the Damascus government has no safe haven to which to retreat. Syria's information minister denounced Saudi Arabia and Qatar for providing individual weapons and ammunition but said the weapons are not sufficient to bring down the government. Small arms and individual weapons fail.

Politics. Prime Minister Riad Hijab, a Sunni Arab, defected and fled to neighboring Jordan, a Jordanian official and a rebel spokesman said Monday. Supposedly several other ministers and some more one-star generals defected as well.

Comment: These defections signify that Syria's Sunni elite, which heretofore has cooperated with the Alawites, has now rejected President Asad's reform program. Hijab was named prime minister as part of the political reform program. This increasingly becomes a fight to the death for the Alawites, who are holding on and holding together.

Phi Beta Iota:  Politically-speaking, the Industrial Era has been characterized by artificial boundaries imposed at the point of many weapons, with minorities elevated to serve as proxy rulers for their colonial benefactors, who nurtured corruption and tolerated genocide as acceptable costs of control and resource capture.  That era is now over.  It will take 50 years – a half century – for the 5,000 secessionist movements world-wide (27 of them in the USA) to assume their inherent independence under natural law, but this is inevitable.  Repressing publics with force is no longer affordable.  Integrity and legitimacy – as well as demographics – will define the 21st Century.
