How Badly Is Fukushima Radiation Damaging the Pacific Ocean?


‘Over the past year we’ve read many news stories about mass die-offs of marine species in the Pacific Ocean and other regions. One hypothesis in the alternative media is that the massive radiation released from the Fukushima nuclear disaster is the cause. Others blame over-fishing, pollution or climatic events.
My opinion is that if the die-offs are unusual and “man made” then it is a combination of factors, but Fukushima is probably one of them. The Earth is under many human threats — we are an industrious species — Fukushima is doing the ocean only harm, and following that logic, at a minimum the health of local species and perhaps wider ecosystems are being affected in a reverse synergy whereby organisms have surpassed the limits they can endure.’

Classes of 70, four-year-olds forced to commute for three hours and a roof turned into a playground: Why no one will admit immigration is the reason Britain’s primary schools are bursting at the seams


‘Next Tuesday at 6.50am, Olivia will leave home to begin the first leg of her three-hour daily commute.
he journey will cost £35 a week and involve no less than three buses each way — assuming, of course, that everything runs smoothly.
Even for the most dedicated employee, it’s not the best way to start and finish a busy day. But for a four-year-old beginning school for the first time, it could hardly be less appropriate.
Due to over-crowding at her local primary school, that is the situation Olivia finds herself in — a situation that her mother, Melissa Stowe, is understandably furious about.’

A ‘Ring of Steel’ – The UK Spends $80 Million on a Massive Fence to Protect Politicians Ahead of NATO Summit

A ‘Ring of Steel’ – The UK Spends $80 Million on a Massive Fence to Protect Politicians Ahead of NATO Summit


‘Most of us woke up this morning to news that the UK had raised its terror threat level from “substantial” to “severe.” Considering the competence and trustworthiness of the nation’s Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre, there must be some specific threat they’re concerned about to justify instilling fear in a population of 65 million. Nope.
Although the new threat level rates the risk of an attack on the UK to “highly likely,” Home Secretary Theresa May stated that “there was no evidence to suggest one was imminent.” Well then.
It makes you wonder if the the change in threat level is being used in part to justify the extraordinary $80 million sum spent on building a fortress around the Newport and Cardiff city centers in Wales, which many are describing as “similar to the Berlin Wall,” or a “zoo,” in an unprecedented display of protection for many of the world’s most corrupt politicians.’

Revealed: Damning dossier that proves police tsar refusing to quit over Rotherham scandal WAS alerted to the horrific scale of grooming


‘The crime tsar defying calls for his resignation over the Rotherham child grooming scandal came under fresh pressure to quit last night after The Mail on Sunday uncovered damning proof that he ignored a mass of evidence of abuse.
Shaun Wright, the Police and Crime Commissioner for South Yorkshire, has claimed the scale of the crisis was a ‘huge surprise’ to him after a report revealed at least 1,400 girls in Rotherham were abused by gangs of predominantly Asian men.
But a dossier of more than 20 files provides powerful evidence that in his former post as cabinet member for children’s services in Rotherham, Mr Wright must have been aware social services were dealing with hundreds of children at risk of sexual exploitation and abuse.’

Zionist Israel’s Thermonuclear Blackmail Of America


‘As Zionists in Palestine watched World War II from their distant sideshow, what lessons were learned? The soldiers of the Empire of Japan vowed on their emperor’s sacred throne to fight to the death and not face the inevitability of an American victory. Many Jews wondered if the Arabs would try to push them into the Mediterranean Sea. After the devastating American nuclear attack on Japan, the soldier leaders of the empire reevaluated their fight to the death position.
Did the bomb give the Japanese permission to surrender and live? It obviously played a military role, a political role, and a peacemaking role. How close was the mindset of the Samurai culture to the Islamic culture? Did David Ben-Gurion take note and wonder if the same would work for Israel? Could Israel find the ultimate deterrent that would convince her opponents that they could never, ever succeed? Was Israel’s ability to cause a modern holocaust the best way to guarantee never having another one?’

‘Ask any human rights organization where they stand on chopping off people’s heads and they’ll probably say such actions constitute a violation of human rights.
And yet, one nation that does a lot of beheadings is on the United Nations’ Human Rights Council. Lately, in fact, Saudi Arabia can’t seem to get enough beheadings. Its government has executed at least 19 people using this method since August 4, according to Human Rights Watch (HRW).
Of the 19, eight were found guilty of non-violent offenses; seven for drug smuggling and one for committing sorcery.’

“This is a completely fabricated enemy,” he said in a phone interview with Press TV from Anaheim, California on Thursday.
“The funding is completely from the United States and its allies and for people to think that this enemy is something that needs to be attacked in Syria or Iraq is a farce because obviously this is something that we create it, we control and only now it has become inconvenient for us to attack this group as a legitimate enemy,” Kelley added.’

Poverty Capitalism in 2014 – Introducing Private Probation Companies


‘As N.P.R. reported in May, services that “were once free, including those that are constitutionally required,” are now frequently billed to offenders: the cost of a public defender, room and board when jailed, probation and parole supervision, electronic monitoring devices, arrest warrants, drug and alcohol testing, and D.N.A. sampling. This can go to extraordinary lengths: in Washington state, N.P.R. found, offenders even “get charged a fee for a jury trial — with a 12-person jury costing $250, twice the fee for a six-person jury.”’

The footage, which shows an incident in January but has only recently been released, shows an altercation between Christopher Lollie and two police officers who were called by a security guard at the First National Bank Building in Minnesota.
Throughout the video, Mr Lollie, a local artist, says he is being approached by police because he a black man. Footage of the incident was posted online on Tuesday and has already been viewed over 132,000 times.’

‘A Scots pensioner who has had both feet amputated has been refused a blue disabled parking badge – because he is able to walk ‘more than 20 yards’.

He was granted a provisional blue badge to let him park in disabled spaces but when he tried recently to renew it, he was told that because he could walk 20 yards he was not eligible.’

Vampire Cops to Establish Nazi-style Checkpoints Over Labor Day Weekend

Street Democracy writes:

The agenda is clear. That is Agenda 21 is clear.

Control all citizens with more laws, more rules and claim to protect citizens but are really violating them further by removing their freedom and their privacy in one.

In the name of pursuing drunk drivers, all drivers must submit to police interrogation or face arrest and incarceration.

The punishing state principle is to criminalise all members of the public and by taking their blood, the police data base will collect millions of citizens DNA and details.

This 'Gulag' mentality of deliberately destabilising society will engineer civil unrest by detaining and provoking unnecessarily citizens just living their lives.

Our streets have become open prisons and we the people are loose like 'free range chickens' with invisible bars.

Draconian laws of installing biological micro chips or you're a terrorist will be the next stage.

Vampire Cops to Establish Nazi-style Checkpoints Over Labour Day Weekend


‘The police state will be rolling out in full force this Labor Day weekend, as police departments in several states prepare to violate their citizens’ Fourth Amendment protections, under the guise of keeping drunk drivers off the road.
Cops nationwide are warning holiday revelers they will be subject to mandatory blood draws if an officer merely suspects them of driving under the influence.
The practice, termed “no refusal,” involves police administering roadside sobriety tests, alcohol breath tests or forcibly extracting blood samples without a person’s consent, securing evidence which would aid a future conviction. A judge is typically on hand to issue search warrants, attempting to give the illegal blood draws an air of legitimacy in the face of blatant constitutional violations.’

Cameron Takes UK Citizens Freedom With Armed Police Guarding Streets For Manufactured Terrorism-Plan All Along-1984 Orwellian On Steroids-WAKE UP!

Britain facing ‘greatest terrorist threat’ in history

Street Democracy writes: 

This is the plan all along. 

To further control the people, especially those waking up to this political corruption and protesting for social justice in one form or another.

This is to amplify a punishing state for daring to disagree with Government and pushing a deeper form of terror, of fear amongst us. 

This is localising bullying from authorities and all in the name of protecting us the people by slowly removing our freedom with heavy police state tactics round the clock, every minute of every day. 

Our elites want protection from the ever increasing waking public, so to arm our police without the public suspecting, they up the threat of 'terrorism'.

This is to justify armed police, by telling the people they are under serious threat which can be any body, doing anything at anytime, including you and I.

Our corrupt elites have created an never ending threat, and are now coming down heavy with the plan to protect us citizens with armed gunned police patrolling our streets.

We have to wake up as once the armed police with commanding language of force hijack our streets by order of our corrupt political leaders, our lives will never be free again.

To deliberately generate a debasement of community through fear and anxiety, to conquer society with Orwellian Big Brother CCTV, is 1984 super plus.

Britain facing ‘greatest terrorist threat’ in history


‘Britain faces the “greatest and deepest” terror threat in the country’s history, David Cameron warned as he pledged emergency measures to tackle extremists.
‘The UK threat level was raised to “severe” — its second highest — meaning that a terrorist attack is “highly likely” in light of the growing danger from British jihadists returning from Iraq and Syria…
… The raised alert will lead to an increase in the number of armed police on the streets, especially around landmark sites and airports.
Theresa May, the Home Secretary, insisted that the move was not a result of any specific plot, but in light of the increasing dangers posed by British fanatics and other foreign fighters in Iraq and Syria.
The change also comes less than a week before a Nato summit in south Wales, which will be the biggest gathering of heads of state in the UK.’

‘The United Kingdom as a rogue state and a danger to the world, a former British Ambassador to Uzbekistan Craig Murray said.
“The British Government is deeply, deeply immoral. They don’t care how many people they kill abroad if it advances them. Anybody who votes No [to Scottish independence] is voting to support a pathological state which is a danger in the world, a rogue state and a state prepared to go to war to make a few people wealthy,” Murray said in a speech made ahead of an historic vote on Scottish independence to be held in just three weeks.
He told an open public meeting in St Andrews that the actions he witnesses as a senior diplomat had changed his “world view” and said it was now “impossible to be proud of the United Kingdom.”’

We won't take the blame! 1,400 girls abused-rapists on the loose-but Rotherham abuse scandal-


Not one council boss or police chief was prepared to shoulder the blame yesterday for their failure to stop the horrific abuse of at least 1,400 vulnerable children.
The shameless buck-passing continued even as detectives were urged to finally hunt down the child rapists – mainly of Asian origin – who they allowed to escape justice for 16 years. Among the officials shrugging off responsibility was police and crime commissioner Shaun Wright, who stubbornly defied demands for his resignation from the Home Secretary.
And when senior Labour figures also told him to go he renounced his membership of the party. Despite being responsible for children’s services from 2005 to 2010 – when the abuse in Rotherham was at its height – Mr Wright claimed a damning report highlighting its full extent came as a ‘huge surprise’. He added: ‘I don’t think any of this was my direct fault.’

Others denying culpability include former Rotherham council boss Ged Fitzgerald, deputy leader Paul Lakin and social services chief Joyce Thacker, who has suggested parents should share the blame. In other developments:
  • Lawyers representing 15 victims are suing the council and police in a class action for damages;
  • Officials who failed to prevent the abuse have gone on to plum public sector jobs elsewhere
  • No one is likely to be sacked or disciplined
  • One of only five men ever convicted is already out of prison and walking the streets of Rotherham
  • Police are investigating another 51 sexual abuse allegations in the town.
Simon Danczuk, the Rochdale MP responsible for exposing the paedophile past of Liberal politician Cyril Smith, told MailOnline: ‘There are hundreds of child rapists out there. What are South Yorkshire Police doing to catch these people?’
The independent report into the scandal by Professor Alexis Jay detailed abject failures by a range of agencies and senior executives between 1997 and 2013. Astonishingly many of the individuals involved remain in highly-paid public sector jobs.
They include Ged Fitzgerald, now the £200,000-a-year chief executive of Liverpool City Council, who led Rotherham council until 2003. Social services chiefs from the town, whose job was to oversee the protection of girls from paedophiles, have also displayed a complete lack of contrition.
Sonia Sharp, who was child protection chief at Rotherham between 2005 and 2008, is now a senior education official in Australia and her work is heralded as an example of ‘best practice’ to foreign dignitaries.
Social services director Joyce Thacker suggested parents should share the blame for not looking after their children when a gang of Asian men was jailed for sexually abusing girls in the town four years ago. She remains in her £115,000-a-year job.
Yesterday she was unapologetic: ‘Protecting young people from harm is not the responsibility of any single agency and as a community we need to continue to work together to tackle this horrific crime.’
The report revealed how senior figures in the police and at Rotherham council  (pictured are the council's offices at Riverside House in Rotherham) wanted the ¿ethnic dimension¿ to the abuse problem downplayed

Yesterday council executives, police chiefs and local politicians at the centre of the furore appeared to be turning a blind eye for demands that anyone should be held responsible.
Only the council leader Roger Stone has quit. Deputy leader Paul Lakin, who is in charge of children’s services, said he did not know of the extent of the problems.
Mr Wright, who became PCC in 2012 as the Labour candidate, also claimed yesterday he was unaware of the ‘industrial scale’ of abuse in his home town.
He said: ‘There was systemic failure and I only wish that I knew more at the time.’
But politicians were not satisfied with his comments and insisted he had to go.
Theresa May, the Home Secretary, said: ‘It’s not my job as Home Secretary to hire and fire police and crime commissioners.
‘The whole point of them is that they are elected by the people, so ultimately it is a choice for the electorate.

Labour shadow chancellor Ed Balls said it was ‘absolutely’ the party’s view that he should stand down.
A party source said: ‘We have given Shaun Wright time to reflect. If he has not resigned by the morning we will suspend him from the Labour Party.’
Lisa Harker, director of strategy at the NSPCC, said: ‘This isn’t just about who knew what and when.
‘Anyone in a senior leadership position has a duty – both moral and corporate – to instil a culture where children can be heard and believed.
‘Those in leadership positions who turned a blind eye to child rape and exploitation should consider their positions and be held to account.’
The report revealed how senior figures in the police and council wanted the ‘ethnic dimension’ to the abuse problem downplayed and were ‘in denial’ about the race element to the offending.
Culture Secretary Sajid Javid, who is the most senior Asian Tory MP, tweeted: ‘It’s definitely not racist to ask why a majority of Rotherham abusers were Asian men.
‘How else will we learn from these awful crimes?’
And the town’s disgraced former Labour MP Denis MacShane blamed the failures on a ‘culture of not wanting to rock the multi-cultural unity boat’.

Speaking yesterday, Professor Jay appeared to dismiss excuses by senior officials that they were unaware of the problems of abuse.
She said that given the information available to agencies by April 2005, nobody could say ‘I didn’t know’.
She added: ‘Part of my remit was to identify what information was available to key people in positions of influence throughout that time. And there was certainly a very great deal of information available from an early stage.’ 

SOCIAL WORKERS AND COUNCIL CHIEFS WHO ARE IN THE FRAME

Refused to apologise: Joyce Thacker, Rotherham's director of children and young people's services (left) and Dr Sonia Sharpe (right) the previous director between 2005 and 2008, when the abuse was covered up
THE SOCIAL SERVICE CHIEFS
Joyce Thacker, Rotherham’s £115,000-a-year director of children and young people’s services, was in charge when four years ago five Asian men were convicted of raping and abusing three girls as young as 12.
The children were all known to her team for months before any action was taken. Instead of taking responsibility for the failures, she said: ‘I would put responsibility back on the parents. ‘It is their duty to protect their child and keep them safe. We couldn’t be with them 24 hours a day.’
Mrs Thacker, 56, was criticised last year by the Commons home affairs committee after telling MPs that prosecuting rapists was only the ‘icing on the cake’ and that she would rather focus elsewhere. She did not ‘fully agree’ with MPs’ claims that her council had failed to deal with child abuse, adding: ‘When you look back at practice from, say, a decade ago, things have substantially improved.’
She was in the spotlight when she decided to remove three Eastern European children from foster parents who supported UKIP.
Mrs Thacker last night refused to apologise for blaming parents for the abuse. She said: ‘Protecting young people from harm is not the responsibility of any single agency and as a community we need to continue to work together to tackle this horrific crime.
‘My view today is that perpetrators are to blame for these evil acts. Parents are often the first ones to notice a change in their children’s behaviour and are the main source of intelligence to our services.’
Dr Sonia Sharp was director of children and young people’s services from 2005 to 2008, when shocking sexual abuse was rampant and the ethnic dimension covered up.
Incredibly, in 2008, her management team won a national Local Government Chronicle award for good performance.
She has since said: ‘Addressing sexual abuse was taken extremely seriously by all concerned and we were committed to taking action to prevent this awful and damaging blight on children’s lives.
‘There is always the possibility that some things may be missed and that there is a small number of people in the community intent on harming children.’
The 52-year-old’s work as an internationally renowned expert on bullying and protecting vulnerable children has since taken her around the world.
She is currently advising Malaysia on ‘best practice’ in dealing with the development of young children.
She could not be reached for comment.
John Gomersall was director of social services from 1999 to 2006, a time when three reports revealing sexual abuse problem were suppressed and ignored.
According to Professor Alexis Jay these reports ‘could not have been clearer in the description of the situation in Rotherham.’
Mr Gomersall was interviewed by the inquiry team, but his failures were not detailed in the report as those responsible for wrong-doing were not named.
He is believed to be living in the US and could not be traced for comment.
LABOUR COUNCILLORS
Paul Lakin, cabinet member for children’s services since 2010 and deputy council leader insisted yesterday he had only recently discovered the ‘depth and breadth’ of the sex abuse problem in the town.
This is despite the court case in 2010 which revealed that young girls were being preyed on by gangs of Asian men. Mr Lakin insisted that all those responsible for the scandal had left the council, and said that whether the under-fire PCC Shaun Wright should resign was ‘a matter for him and him alone’.
Mark Edgell, council leader from 2000 to 2003, is accused by Professor Jay of failing to give child sexual exploitation enough attention or resources.
Reports outlining abuse were also suppressed by the council in 2002 and ignored in 2003. Last night he denied knowledge of those reports and denied suppressing them. He is now principal adviser on children’s services at the Local Government Association.
COUNCIL CHIEF EXECUTIVES
Martin Kimber, £160,000 a year chief executive since 2009 has refused to sack a single senior officer, despite damning evidence of failure and incompetence. The Commons home affairs select committee criticised Mr Kimber, 58, last year after learning that the council child sexual exploitation sub-group he set up had not met for nine months.
A father of a grooming victim had become ‘so disheartened by the lack of work being done on child sexual exploitation’ that he had gone over Mr Kimber’s head. Since the scandal, he has stubbornly refused to sack or even discipline any staff. He said yesterday that the Jay report ‘confirms that our services... are stronger today than ever before’.
Ged Fitzgerald, chief executive from 2001 to 2003 is accused of allowing one report warning of child sex grooming to be suppressed on his watch and another ignored.
He told Professor Jay that the 2002 Home Office report was treated as ‘anecdotal, using partial information and not methodologically sound’. The 53-year-old, currently on holiday abroad, is now the £199,500 a year chief executive of Liverpool City Council.
Mike Cuff, chief executive from 2004 to 2009, admits he failed to prevent ‘appalling abuse’ on his watch
