Fukushima - 1.3 million Americans set to die thanks to Obama cover-up of radiation plume

[David Guyatt]

Fukushima, weapon of mass destruction?

I love how governments write off the mass deaths of their own citizens in order to maintain the status quo.

The following is from the Slog:

FUKUSHIMA & MANNING: Why the two are part of the same syndrome

Quite a day for Obama: how he double-crossed the American people, and nailed a good citizen to the cross

Yesterday's news about the upgrading' of the fall-out from the Japanese Fukushima reactor was rapidly followed by the receipt of a timely dossier by The Slog. There's nothing secret about it, you can read it in full here and while I'm not familiar with the site, 95% of it is based on FOI demanded information in the US, with Xeroxed extracts to prove the points being made.
The thrust of the piece is that, from the first day onwards, the US government has massively underplayed the the scale of the disaster and its effect in particular on North America itself. In the text of stenography, there are repeated references to "play down the level of fallout", "our line should be there's no cause for alarm" and so forth.
But the bottom line is that somewhere in the region of 1.3 millionAmericans will be dead as a direct cause of Fukushima by 2030.
There is also clear evidence I would say, irrefutable evidence that the Japanese have run out of ideas as to how the meltdown process might be stopped, and that in complete contrast to official announcements, very little at Fukushima is "contained". The likelihood is further melting down is still in progress. This was partly supported by yesterday's "update", in which the Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) said a leak of at least 300 tonnes of the highly radioactive water was discovered on Monday. But the game is still on to toe the "no cause for alarm" line: officials described the leak as a level-one incident the lowest level on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (Ines). Based on the dossier linked to above, I would suggest that this is almost certainly bollocks. (Apart from anything else, the first release said the level of danger had been raised: so how can it still be at "the lowest level"? Webs, weave, deceive etc etc).
The BBC is as expected completely onside with the "nothing to see here" approach: its Environment page online claims, "the scale of the overall radiation leakage at Fukushima must be kept in some perspective. According to Dr Ken Buesseler, a senior scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, the total amount of the radioactive element caesium produced since the disaster began at Fukushima is roughly equal to the amount that has been emitted at Windscale/Sellafield since operations began there 60 years ago."
A complete weasel: caesium is just one element in a radioactive plume disaster. Try this extract from the dossier, March 13th 2011:
And this, from later the same year:

Or this in the light of the BBC's claim that "nobody has yet been reported as dead" as a result of the disaster:

This bit, however, was the part that truly turned even my iron-clad cynical stomach as an example of the US élite's "prorities": in this first extract, it's clear that Obama knows the truth, and is keen to cover it up….as are the bureaucrats:

And in this latter fragment, the President's main concern seems to be his popularity in two western States:
One is, of course, left wondering what Mr Wiggins had yet to figure out…explaining away all the dead folks?

My bolding. Please also note I've deleted the Bradley manning part of this story - it can be read at the above link.
