Thoughts on the Fukushima contamination

momoese · 08-24-2013, 10:08 PM

I'm very concerned about this. It looks like TEPCO has been lying since the beginning. Looks like things are far worse than any government agency or mainstream media is letting on to. Now the Japanese government has finally stepped in but it doesn't sound like they have any clue what to do about it. From what I've read the radiation is here on the west coast of the USA and it can and most likely will effect all living things here including our produce that in turn effects the rest of the country and the globe.

We have been talking about moving to Oregon, but this may change things especially seeing how my wife can get Danish citizenship.

I'm also looking for for diet/nutrition ideas to deal with this contamination.

I have a lot of stuff bookmarked but would appreciate your input.

If you go to Denmark bring your fishin gear

My wife has family on Bornholm that fish for a living, and hunt for food/fun. No gear needed but I'd bring mine anyway.

Hate to alarm anyone but if you do a search of US Fukushima deaths there was a significant jump in death rates on the west coast. The estimates are about 14,000 additional deaths. Mostly the weak and vulnerable. Sounds unreal but there are a lot of reports that back it up.

Is everything we read on the internet true ?

Is everything that the mainstream corporate bought news and governments tell you true?

Is everything everyone on the Org. tell us true ?

That's my point. How do you separate fact from BS. I tried a BS thread but no one posted

No. You have to do your own research.

momoese · 08-25-2013, 01:08 AM

Back on point, i'm looking for tips to survive the contamination should we stay here. If you have anything constructive to add please do.

Dalmatiansoap · 08-25-2013, 02:09 AM

I dont know how worth it is. In my opinion its more like "u can run but U cant hide" theory. That Fukushima thing we will all over the Globe.
Anyway Im always ready for quality cuisine!

My view: grow your own food indoors in a clean environment (e.g. get water from deep clean wells, scrub/filter external air before blowing it inside, and don't bring in contaminated mulch/compost/fertilizer/etc). If you can't do it for your particular family (say, because of lack of space), then band together with others.

My first test system, a high tunnel aquaponics design, was featured on C2Cam a couple of months after the earthquake/meltdowns: Aquaponic Garden - Photos - Coast to Coast AM I posted an update here on the forum a while back with an explanation and some pics of the fish: My 1st Flag Leaf - Dwarf Cavendish

My second test system, a 4,500 gallon indoor greenwater aquaculture pond, is used to grow tilapia (which filter-feed on algae) and to fertigate the plants in my third system.

My third test system, a semi-pit walipini, is outlined in a thread here on the forum: My semi-pit banana greenhouse

It is mostly FAKE news. The powers at hand are trying to scare you and keep you thinking that life with out Big Brother is not possible. Look at what has happened in other areas that had more serious melt downs. Chernobyl and 3 mile island

You should be more worried about all the Chem trails in you see in the sky everyday.

Chernobyl was small potatoes compared to what is and will continue to happen at Fukushima. Even the mainstream media can no longer hide the truth.

BBC News - Fukushima leak is 'much worse than we were led to believe'

Worm_Farmer · 08-25-2013, 12:30 PM

Dont worry, They will just dump it all into the ocean behind our backs.
Dilution is the solution.

Just another way to make us depend on there "Clean water and canned air" And don't eat the fish any more. I personally believe if this were so bad Japan would feel the effects first if not right away. Their work force would drop like rocks and they would stop exporting and their market would crash very quickly.

Worm_Farmer · 08-25-2013, 12:42 PM

BTW, I am just poking the fire right now. My option is mute on this subject. I like to stirrup Controversy.

momoese · 08-25-2013, 01:03 PM

I don't expect Japan or the US to ever be honest about the level of contamination due to the economic collapse it would create. They are already finding elevated levels in CA produce and fish caught locally that don't migrate. That is no bueno.
