Wreck of the Fukushima Cap Fitting Carousel

Nearly Asian Week exclusive(Foust beat me!) : Sounds like a song title “Wreck of the Fukushima Cap Fitting Carousel”

[ Hu's On First | FukuNuke ]

Ian Goddard sent this latest Tepco shot of IAEA inspectors taking a look at the “pentagon” Unit 3 damage, they look like the minions from Despicable me or a scene out of an Atomic Age epic movie.

IAEA Oooh Aaah Unit 3 (Tepco)

I zoomed in on it and realized holy !@#$% that’s a higher res shot of the wreck than they have ever released before, even better than the lo-res drone shot from 50 ft away. And I recognized the green object from the NW “waterfall” debris field as something that Nancy Foust in her research had identified and mapped on her “reactor floor map” as the “Cap Fitting Carousel” which is a big cake-shaped gizmo that fastens all of the little bolts on the top of the “pressure cooker” rpv pot.

Nancy Foust concurs and updated her picture website here

It’s the Reactor Well – Not It’s Not!

This trick should settle the question. The helicopter video if you take stills while flying by are equivalent to stereo pairs. So I took two close-by stills, and arranged them for the old cross-eyed stereo pair method, and it’s as clear as day you are looking at the square wall of an empty equipment dryer pool, not at the round “door knob” reactor cap, at least in this shot. The black thing on top is the huge overhead crane. The mess at the lower right is the carousel thingie. If you don’t want a headache, do NOT try this, and don’t come back complaining.

Yoichi Shimatsu on Rense

I stumbled across this “beforeitsnews.com” site which seems to gather up both pro- and anti-israeli propoganda. Go figure. But I did find interesting audio programs on the usually anti-Zionist Rense which was strictly on-topic and for once didn’t go pounding on the Chose People. Yoichi Shimatsu from Hong Kong made some very grim observations on the state of the reactors (spilling radiation from now until hell freezes over) Tokyo now producing radioactive sewage sludge (evidently there’s not enough to hurt people in the air, but enough to collect quite a bit by the time all that water collects in the sewage), people are deciding whether to leave Tokyo entirely, the ones who stay are being called brave, the thousands of people who have been declared to have breathed in a significant “internal radiation exposure” though none have shown any symptoms yet. As I noticed on CCTV, that radioactive plume may be barely noticed over the US, but it’s good enough to have a significant effect on the marketability of produce all over Asia – Japan won’t import Korean kimchi, and China has shortages of fresh vegetables, while some Japanese tea growers are refusing to have their crops measured for radioactivity. He says there’s a fight between the government and the banks to pay first before the government starts bailing out TEPCO and it may be big enough to bring a financial crisis which can’t be good for the US. Othe than speculation that Unit 4 must have been turned on doing some hush-hush military work otherwise it wouldn’t have blown up, it sounded pretty sane for the most part, but very, very grim.

Here is one for the looney-bin: Japanese Government Pays 60 Trillion Yen to Stop More H.A.A.R.P. Attacks
Thursday, May 26, 2011
The cowardly Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan handed 60 trillion yen over to the Federal Reserve Board crime syndicate immediately after his country was attacked with HAARP and nuclear terror, according to Japanese security police sources. The extortion money was paid off following threats to use HAARP to cause Mt. Fuji to erupt. For those of you still too brainwashed to believe such a thing is possible…experts at the University of Tokyo and well as in Italy detected HAARP signals focused on Fukushima in the hours before the earthquake and tsunami struck. The same signals have since been detected focused on Mt. Fuji where the ground water is heating up.”…

Hawaii Farmers Feed Boron To Cure Radiation Milk ???

About a jillion conspiracy websites are pointing at Hawaii Health Guide which appears to be largely devoid of content except an ominous story about “begun feeding our cows and goats sodium borate at milking times, as well as adding it to free choice kelp and water troughs.” because ” Milk from the large dairies in Hamakua and Hawi has shown elevated levels of radiation, from 400 to 2400 times the recognized safe levels.” The farm in question is featured in the Hawaii airlines magazine . Interesting, so the Hawaii Dept of Health has a special “don’t panic over Japan” section. The radiation report states

“Latest Milk Sample Shows Decreased Amounts of Radiation in Milk From Big Island Dairy Still Far Below Levels of Public Health Concern
Results of EPA laboratory analysis of a milk sample collected April 13, 2011 on the Big Island showed small amounts of Cesium-134 and Cesium-137. The amounts were 11 pCi/L and 10 pCi/L, respectively. The results for Iodine-131 were non-detect. These findings have decreased from the previous sample collected on April 4, 2011 and are still far below levels of public health concern. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Derived Intervention Levels (DIL) for milk are 4700 pCi/L for I-131 and 33,000 pCi/L for Cs-134 and Cs-137 combined. (Translation – we either didn’t find anything or what we did find isn’t a health issue)

Now freedom of speech is fine, but if there is some deliberate misinformation with intent to cause harm or confusion, is there anything on our books about psychological warfare as terrorism that discourages these sorts of games if that is what is going on??

Tokyo Tea Leaves Exceed Legal Radiation Standard

Ugh, who is going to order green tea ice cream that glows in the darK?

Posted May 16 by TheFreedom2choose: Radioactive material above designated safety limits has been detected in tea leaves harvested in 5 municipalities in Kanagawa Prefecture, neighboring Tokyo.

The prefectural government checked samples of leaves harvested in 15 municipalities in the region.

Officials say that samples from 5 of those were found to contain unsafe levels of radioactive cesium.

They say 780 becquerels of cesium were detected in tea leaves in Odawara City, 740 becquerels in Kiyokawa Village, 680 becquerels in Yugawara Town, 670 becquerels in Aikawa Town and 530 becquerels in Manazuru Town.

The Kanagawa prefectural government has asked the affected municipalities and the local farmers’ cooperative to voluntarily halt shipments for the time being.

It says it will repeat the tests in these towns and villages when tea leaves are harvested next month.
