Title: In Japan, Relief at Radiation’s Low Toll
Source: Wall Street Journal
Author: YUKA HAYASHI, PHRED DVORAK and ROBERT LEE HOTZ
Date: March 9, 2012
[...] Those studying the accident warn, however, that the early, reassuring conclusions may understate the extent of exposure for certain people. They add that scientists still know very little about the effect on the human body of extended exposure to low-level radiation. There also have been some disturbing developments—a reduction in the bird population near the plant, high levels of radiation in local fish—that biologists say they will continue to watch.

Ecologists and biologists who toured Fukushima prefecture earlier this year found that the radiation release appeared to have had a dramatic impact on birds in the region. Biologists led by radio-ecologist Timothy Mousseau at the University of South Carolina studied 300 locations around Fukushima last July and found that local bird populations had dropped by about a third. “The response was about twice as much as after Chernobyl,” said Dr. Mousseau. “We don’t know why yet.”

Their absence was noticeable. “It is an eerie quietness,” he said. “The environment is just quieter.”

Fukushima Conspiracy Theories

Who is promoting the idea that Fukushima was a false flag against by Israel and the United States by Japan?

Promoters (mostly anti-Israel, pro-Palestine)
  • American Free Press: Run white nationalist Willis Carto linked to Jim Fetzer, Leuren Moret, William Fox, Veterans Today etc. called a source of anti-Semitic 9-11 theories by ADL
  • Canadian National Newspaper(AFP, 9-11 conspiracy, UFO, anti-Israel)
  • Henry Makow
  • Jim Fetzer (AFP, 9-11 conspiracy, anti-Isreal)
  • Leuren Moret (AFP RFK conspiracy, anti-Israell)
  • Major William Fox, USA (ret.), (AFP, anti-Israel) former intelligence officer publishes americafirstbooks.com, promotes "libertarian white nationalism"
  • Veterans Today (AFP, called a source of anti-Semitic 9-11 theories by ADL)
  • Yoishi Shimatsu(AFP, says US not North Korea attacked SKorean destroyer)
  •  
Skeptics
  • Jeff Rense ""As for the particular story about 'nuclear bombs' being used to cause the Fukushima quake and tsunami, I will not entertain such trash on my site"
  • Wired Magazine "our weekly look at the planet’s most insane conspiracy theories. "

//Asia Tsunami

This 2005 conspiracy theory says that American troops wage war for Jewish Zionists, but won't save Muslims and asks if the US placed a thermonuclear warhead to create the Tsunami for the Wall Street bankers. The link was posted in reference to Fukushima which is a new conspiracy theory.

Did New York Orchestrate The Asian Tsunami?

With Afghanistan and Iraq already lost, the Wall Street bankers were all desperately looking for other ways to control our world, when suddenly and very conveniently, the Sumatran Trench exploded. Trick or Treat?
Copyright Joe Vialls, 5 January 2005, Updated 6 January 2005
Though the USNS Comfort was deployed to New York when 3,000 Americans died in September 2001, this current lack of action sends a strong signal that 150,000 (mostly Muslim) dead in South East Asia, and half a million injured, are of no concern whatever to the power brokers in New York [Jewish dominated].
That is a huge amount of grunt firepower to put on the deserted streets of Banda Aceh, especially when Wall Street normally expects these marines to die quietly for Zion in Iraq
the American 9 megaton W-53 thermonuclear warhead shown on the left, could easily be encased in a small 'lookalike' saturation diving chamber similar to that on the right, to protect it from the massive 10,000 pounds per square inch pressures at the bottom of the Sumatran Trench. The whole armored package would weigh less than five tons, allowing it to be slipped over the stern of any oil rig supply vessel, of which there are more than 300 in Asia alone. Who would even notice?
 I will be circumspect as to exactly how a large American thermonuclear weapon managed to arrive at the bottom of the Sumatran Trench, though all of the seismic evidence and preparedness for the resulting mission indicates strongly that this is the case.
For the Zionist Cabal, obtaining a thermonuclear weapon in America is no great trick,

//Depleted Uranium

Another popular conspiracy before Fukushima is that the US, NATO and Israel are using depleted or enriched uranium weapons primarily against Arab and Muslim civilians in the middle east and Kosovo. Promoted by Leuren Moret, Chris Busby and Willis Carto's American Free Press

    HENRY MAKOW: Former NSA analyst, Jim Stone, argues that there was no mag 9.0 earthquake. The tsunami was caused by nuclear bombs in the sea and the Fukushima explosion and meltdown was caused by mini-nukes hidden in cameras installed by an Israeli security firm. The motive: punish Japan for offering to enrich Iranian uranium and straying from Illuminati diktat.  This website reserves judgment but offers this introduction by James Farganne in the spirit of free discussion.  By James Farganne (henrymakow.com) January 27, 2012 When we compare the 6.8-magnitude earthquake which devastated Kobe, Japan January 17, 1995 with Fukushima, the evidence does not stack up.

    Fukushima What Happened To Fueling Platform #3?

    Nobody has seen what happened to the fueling platform for unit 3. It's still in place for Units 1, 2, and 4, but it appears #3 might have been one of the big black shapes that was blown sky high in that black explosion plume. It is about the size of the large hole in the roof of turbine building #4 next door.

    did anybody ever figure out a) what made the big hole in turbine 3 building roof and b) what happened to fueling platform #3? Seems they should have been able to look at what is inside turbine building 3 by now. Seems useful to know where that fueling platform went.

    Ian found what may be the top of the refueling crane in the SFP, still looking back at photos to get a better idea. The remaining big rail part of the refueling crane (not the overhead crane) is either gone and possibly through the turbine building roof or is in the pool. We have been reviewing images trying to determine if it could be IN the pool with the top part or not
    Itsumi asked the workers for me months ago about what went through the turbine building roof and they would not give me a clear answer. I don't know if they can't safely get in there, if it isn't a priority for them or if there is more to it.

    Japan Cities Certify 573 Nuclear-Related Deaths Around Fukushima

    Fukushima NukeBlog Site Map

    I had written before that if you count people who died indirectly from the effects of the nuclear incident and not just direct radiation deaths, you'd come up with more than a few dozen Chernobyl deaths in the first year.

    Now at least the local governments have backed me up, and these don't even include the likely hundreds if not thousands who committed suicide as their businesses were either destroyed o ceased to have a market

    573 Deaths Attributed To Nuclear Disaster In Japan


    The local municipalities have certified 573 deaths as attributed to the nuclear disaster in Fukushima. More cases are pending. These deaths were situations where the fatigue or impact on chronic conditions caused by the accident contributed significantly to the person’s death. These are the first deaths to be recognized as part of the nuclear disaster and a harsh reminder how difficult the early weeks of the disaster were.
    This report from March 18th cites many elderly or infirm patients left in a hospital 6 miles from the nuclear plant. In the chaos a lack of transportation and other resources caused the medical staff to leave these patients behind, others were evacuated. Those left behind had fragile health or were in a coma. The SDF later attempted to rescue the patients but many of the most ill evacuees died. Many in shelters lacked heat, power or food as responders struggled to locate survivors and distribute aid.  Currently no details are available of those 573 deaths how many were people who sheltered in place or other details on their deaths.

    Fukushima: PM Kan telling Tepco to not pull out "Saved Japan"

    [Fukushima NukeBlog Site Map ]

    http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/28/world/asia/japan-considered-tokyo-evacuation-during-the-nuclear-crisis-report-says.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1


    Mr. Funabashi said his foundation’s investigators had interviewed most of the people involved — except executives at Tepco, which refused to cooperate — and found that the company had in fact said it wanted a total pull out.
    He credited Mr. Kan with making the right decision in forcing Tepco not to abandon the plant.
    “Prime Minister Kan had his minuses and he had his lapses,” Mr. Funabashi said, “but his decision to storm into Tepco and demand that it not give up saved Japan.”

    BBC wrap-up on Fukushima tragedy - could be worse than Chernobyl We Are Finished


    And in the most ‘controversial chapter’ of the story, This World revealed that TEPCO sought to evacuate all of its employees from the plant. It was only through the persistence of the prime minister that a brave contingent of workers – the ‘Fukushima 50’ stayed.
    ‘If they withdrew, six reactors and seven fuel pools would be abandoned’, Kan told the programme. ‘Everything melts down.  Radiation tens of times worse than Chernobyl will be scattered.’
    TEPCO forbid its employees from speaking to the press. However, a few broke ranks to speak out about their fears.
    ‘Many of us thought of running away, but there was no escape. If you actually ran you would be exposed to radiation.’
    In the end a group of firefighters succeeded in spraying the plant with water, to stop the spread of radioactive material and cool the reactors. They brought the radiation down from ‘dangerous levels’ so that people could return to the plant.
    But it remains to be seen whether the radiation expelled will affect Japan in the years to come. And as prime minister Kan warned at the end of the programme, ‘When the world has 1000, 2000, 3000 nuclear plants, can we call that a safe world to live in?’
