Wireless Security and Risk Management

If you have children it is important to read, Wireless Risk Management

Wireless technologies are everywhere, providing convenience, and portability. Being able to communicate from anywhere, plus being able to get on the Internet and find information in an instant, are some of the benefits of using wireless technologies.

There are down sides to this. Their portability leaves them venerable to theft and forget fullness. Being connected to other systems and networks, leaves them constantly venerable to hacking attacks, virus infections and malware installations.

Here are some practical things you can do to improve security for mobile devices.

Security tips

1. Have a decent password for access, at least 8 to 12 characters long, made up of upper, and lower case letters, plus symbols. Don’t use simple dictionary words with a birth date and a few numbers. These are very easy to break.

2. Install mobile security software, virus scanners, malware and sypware removers, plus encryption tools. Use encryption to prevent easy access to private files, photos and data, from hackers.

3. Set up a device recovery system that allows you to track where the device is located. Great if you have just misplaced it somewhere. If you forget where you left it, this type of tool will allow you to track it from your home computer, laptop or mobile phone. There are remote recovery tools available, suitable for your Apple, Windows and Android based tablets and phones.

4. Make sure you also set up remote wipe/erase option if you set up one of these remote tracking systems. The device may not be recoverable, or has sensitive data on it that you want keep away from prying eyes. Being able to erase all your sensitive personal information quickly, could be more important than the device. Remote wipe software erases the entire system, and restores it to the factory settings. It has to be set up on the device you want to recover or erase, plus another phone, tablet, or computer you own.

Unfortunately no device is perfectly secure no matter which make and model you purchase. If you make the effort to follow the above suggestions, it will make it much more secure, and provide you with some peace of mind.

Risk Management

All mobile wireless devices are a source of microwave radiation, and microwave radiation was classed as a 2B carcinogen by the WHO in 2011, so limiting your exposure is important. Large numbers of independent peer review studies are showing this could be potentially a major health issue. All ionizing or non ionizing radiation is cumulative. Pregnant women, children, and and particularly girls, are much more sensitive to radiation that adults.

There is no safe level of microwave radiation exposure for children.

Why WiFi is bad for children.

http://www.radiationeducation.com/Why_Is_WiFi_Bad.html

This short video clearly explains the risks of WiFi to children, take the time to watch it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FO0AnNHz8vI

Professor Magda Havas of Trent University.

In this video there are demonstrations of how wireless household appliances such as portable phones, WiFi base stations and DECT baby monitors, broadcast constant microwave radiation, that is similar in intensity to being a few hundred meters away from a large cell phone tower. In this video you will be introduced to several cell antenna studies that show the microwave radiation that is emitted by these towers are harmful to human health.

Practical things you can do to reduce your family’s exposure to Microwave radiation.

The more wireless devices you have turned on in the house at one time, increases all the family member’s exposure, including the neighbours. Think about it. In a home of a family of four, each person could have a mobile phone, a tablet computer, their own laptop, a cordless phone system, Xbox game console, wireless access point, or mobile broadband device.

All of these devices radiate significant amounts of microwave radiation individually. Combined, this adds up to a very significant exposure. Train the family to turn them off, or use alternative technologies! Gee, I don’t even own a mobile phone, and I’ve survived! Some people are far more sensitive than others to this type of radiation, and can suffer significant symptoms, in a very short period of time.

This approach has a two pronged benefit. It not only limits your exposure, but everyone else’s too. It also lessens the time available for someone to hack into the device. When it comes to microwave radiation, distance is your friend. Each doubling of the distance from a microwave transmitting device, quarters the radiation exposure.

1. Don’t leave these devices on 24 hours a day. Some devices like wireless printers, wireless access points and tablets, can send out very strong microwave signals constantly, when left on.

2. Place wireless access points, and mobile broadband device as far away from you as practical. I have suggested to lots of people with mobile broadband devices, that they put it on a 5 meter USB extension cable. This is so they can get the device away from them, plus use it like an aerial, to find the best signal strength location in a room. Don’t place these devices on your lap or on your person. Young guys will be frying the family jewels, for older guys it may not matter.

3. Only have the device’s wireless function turned on when necessary. Remember, there can be more than one wireless type built into a device, wifi as well a blue tooth etc. Turn them off if you are not using them. This will also improve security.

4. Do not sleep with these devices in you bedroom, or under your pillow. What is society coming to, for me to even have to mention this. Not only is this a fire hazard, but also a health hazard.

5. Replacing a cordless phone system with an old style corded phone can greatly reduce the amount of microwave radiation emanating through the house, and your head, when using it.

Watch these two very informative videos on the biological effects of microwave radiation, based on lots of independent research from all over the world.

Why test food for radioactive contamination?

Because governments have deceived the public about food safety radiation levels worldwide.

They first release an article like the one below. I am using the EU as an example here.

“EU boosts food import controls after Japanese nuclear disaster. The European Union is to step up controls on food imports from Japan in the wake of the nuclear accident at Fukushima – but stressed there was no evidence that consumers in the region were at risk from radiation-contaminated food.

The EU ruling insists that all products from these prefectures are tested before leaving Japan and said they will be subject to random testing in the bloc. Japanese authorities will have to provide a declaration confirming products do not contain radioactive elements – called radionuclides – that exceed EU maximum levels. The Commission highlighted radionuclides iodine-131, caesium-134 and caesium-137.”

http://www.foodproductiondaily.com/Quality-Safety/EU-boosts-food-import-controls-after-Japanese-nuclear-disaster

This makes you feel warm and cosy inside, because you think your government is looking after you and your family. This article “EU boosts food import controls after Japanese nuclear disaster” is a clever deception because they then proceed to quietly raise the EU maximum safety levels by 20x for cesium-134 and cesium-137. Governments worldwide have used this same tactic.

http://foodfreedom.wordpress.com/2011/04/04/eu-secretly-ups-cesium-safety-level-in-food-20-fold/

They then tell the public everything is testing below safety levels, nothing to worry about!

Here is another example, Japan this time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc6FPIK1VaY

If you do purchase good food testing radiation contamination equipment, look at the old pre Fukushima radioactive food contamination safety levels, as a possible guide. If you can purchase a none contaminated food item do so, as any level of radioactive food contamination poses a risk.

So what does this mean?

Radiation contamination bio-accumulates over time, particularly in meat, dairy and seafood grown and harvested in radiation contaminated areas. Ingested radiation from contaminated food radiates body cells with high doses of radiation for long periods of time.

You can’t rely on governments, so it is important for your family’s health and safety that you take the time and effort to research this subject. In summary, for your family’s safety, only purchase food and goods that are not from contaminated areas. Also, research dietary systems that help remove or protect your body from radioactive contamination.

An Oncologist in Japan has been doing ongoing research on the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster site workers, and found he is getting very good results with Liposomal Vitamin C. It appears to be healing a lot of radiation damage to their bodies. Liposomal Vitamin C is a combination of vitamin C and lecithin. This combination seems to improve the up take of vitamin C by 80%! It maybe a good idea for you and your family to research taking this to fortify against the effects of radiation. He has been trying to encourage the Japanese government to educate their people about this treatment.

Making your own Liposomal Vitamin C, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2eqfiTxDwg&feature=related

If you are living in Southern Hemisphere, it is suggested at present, to eat locally grown food. A lot of Northern Hemisphere food is safe to eat. It is just hard to tell what is and what isn’t, without government or private testing. The dynamics of the situation suggests that Southern Hemisphere grown food is more likely to be less contaminated. No significant detections have been made in any locally grown food, that has been tested so far here, at our testing lab in Australia. Be careful of food products labelled “Made from Australian and imported ingredients”.

Latest International reports of radioactive isotope contamination of food items

This is by no means a complete list. If you know of a reported detection that is not on this list please lets us know by posting a comment.

NOTE: A lot of food and environmental detection reports tend to concentrate on Cesium detection. This is because it is relatively easy to test for, and detect. If Cesium is present in a test result, there is a possibility that other types of radioactive isotopes are also present but not reported. Fallout is a dirty mixture of isotopes. It is not just Cesium. Some of the other isotope contaminants particularly the dangerous Alpha emitters, need more specialized and expensive equipment to detect their presence.

Ingested radiation from contaminated food or water, can radiate body cells with high doses of radiation for long periods of time. This means any ingestion of radioactive isotopes increases the risk to ones well being. Children, particularly girls, and pregnant women are far more sensitive to the effects of radiation. This very informative video, that is just 10 minutes long, discusses the damage very small amounts Cesium can do to children. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9d3I3S99Dc&feature=player_embedded

Computer equipment used in the local community testing lab

This is what the testing equipment looks like set up on a computer, with the Beeresearch bias box “Gamma Spectacular” unit, plus scintillator. The scintillator is the tall silver tube. It is the scintillator that does the detection. They are very delicate and need to be handled with care.

more info here,

http://www.gammaspectacular.com/

To get the best testing results a scintillator needs to be set up in a lead shielded testing chamber. The unit used for testing is a 2′ x 2′ NaI crystal scintillator, set up in a 15 mm thick lead shielded container.

Spectrometry Charts

For those interested in Spectrometry, here are some charted results using this equipment to test radioactive items, and mineral samples.

Black fungus material from Japan test chart I was sent this resin encapsulated sample of black fungus like material. It has reportedly come from somewhere in the Minamisoma area Japan. A contact in Japan sent a friend this sample. This is my test chart of it. For those of you who have not looked at a chart like this before. The position of the peaks in a the chart indicate what isotopes are present. This fungus started growing on the concrete, and rock surfaces in Japan after the Fukushima Nuclear disaster. It appears to be bio-accumulating Cesium.

Radium clock dial chart This spectra was recorded in a lead shield chamber without a copper liner, or proper calibration, hence the large secondary X-ray peak at approx 80 keV. The chart is of half a Radium clock dial. This is to demonstrate what the equipment can do, plus to show how radioactive this small piece of fashionable jewelry was. A lot of people who used it as jewelry, or who were employed to paint these dials, died from the exposer to this highly radioactive substance.

The Radium clock Dial, Uraninite, and Euxenite, samples were kindly loaned by enenews member, Spectrometising.

Uraninite sample Chart Spectra recorded with a copper liner. Uraninite is a Uranium rich mineral, it is most commonly known as pitchblende. It is very radioactive. It was used here to calibrate the equipment.

Euxenite Y Chart Spectra recorded in a lead shield chamber without a copper liner, hence the large secondary X-ray peak at approx 80 Kev.

Food Testing Results

Lots of food items have been tested. Only food items that have had radioactive isotope detections in them are listed here.
Spirulina Detection (24/03/2013)

Possibly a small amount of radioactive iodine 1-129 has been detected in 200 grams of Spirulina, purchased at the local super market. It was tested twice. The other candidate is lead isotope Pb-210. I am leaning towards iodine because the X-ray peak at 30 Kev fits its profile. It is a small amount and is close to the limits of what the equipment here can detect. It is possibly a false positive detection. At this point Spirulina products should be tested by others to confirm if there is any contamination with fallout isotopes.

This raises a lot of questions, because a lot of people are taking this to protect themselves against radiation exposure. I take it myself. I can only say that the Spirulina product container we purchased showed very small trace amounts of contamination, other batches could be fine. We will test other batches over time.

If this is a I-129 detection, why would it appear by itself?

One theory put forward is that the Spirulina organism is bio-accumlulating Iodine.

Here is some information that has already been put forward in discussions on this subject.

“If you are detecting it, it isn’t probably natural …. but will be Fukushima – and I-129 is probably at levels to be a health concern.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodine-129

“I-129 is one of the 7 long-lived fission products that are produced in significant amounts. Its yield is 0.706% per fission (U-235).^[8] Larger proportions of other iodine isotopes like ¹³¹I are produced, but because these all have short half-lives, iodine in cooled spent nuclear fuel consists of about 5/6 ¹²⁹I and 1/6 the only stable iodine isotope, ¹²⁷I.”

Spirulina update

The batch off Spirulina I tested had on the packaging, “Made in Australia from Imported ingredients”. I was under the impression all Spirulina was produced in the Northern Hemisphere. It has since been informed that an Australian company also produces Spirulina.

http://www.australianspirulina.com.au/

Cinnamon Detection (05/02/2013)

An 80 gram packet of Cinnamon imported from India, that was purchased in Australia, was found to have traces of Uranium isotope decay daughters in it. This is the second sample of Cinnamon that we have detected with isotope contamination. The other sample purchased last year was imported from Europe, and only had trace amounts of a single isotope.

This sample from India has multiple isotope peak signatures in it. This is probably from soil contamination during harvesting, processing, or root uptake. K40 is radioactive Potassium which is in every living thing, Pb-214 is radioactive lead, Bi-214 is radioactive Bismuth, and Ra-226 is Radium.

Test chart

Bentonite Clay Chart

This is a test of imported Bentonite clay. People are consuming Bentonite clay to remove radioactive contamination from their bodies, and for other health benefits.

The chart is of a 625 gram sample of Bentonite Clay. The peaks on the far left in this chart up to the 88 keV mark, are not from the Bentonite clay, but secondary X-ray artifacts created from background Gamma radiation passing through the lead shielding of the testing chamber.

The peak on the far right at 1460 keV is radioactive Potassium, referred to as K40. This is caused from the radiative K40 in the wooden building I did the testing in. A very small amount of K40 is in Potassium Chloride which is in pretty much every living thing.

If you look at the red highlighted peaks in this chart, the peaks indicate the presence of radioactive Radium Ra-226, Lead Pb-214 and Bi-214. Also on testing, Zeolite, also has be found to contain radioactive isotopes.

Zeolite Chart

1 kg of Zeolite was tested in a lead and copper lined test chamber. The Zeolite test showed that it had radioactive Lead and Bismuth Isotopes in it as well. It was not as radioactive as the Bentonite clay.

All soils have radioactive isotopes in them. This is what creates a lot of normal background radiation. These isotopes are created from Uranium and Thorium decay, which are present in soils. Most clays will have some radioactivity in them. That is why background radiation levels in a brick and tile house, are greater than a wooden one.

The second green marker in the Zeolite chart marks the largest peak for radioactive Lead Pb-212, and the second blue marker is Bismuth Bi-214, found in the Zeolite test.

People are taking Zeolite and Bentonite clay to remove radioactivity from their bodies, when they already have radioactive isotopes in them. OK, they only take a small amount at a time, so maybe it doesn’t matter? The benefits may out way the risks?

There is a big difference between using these items for environmental clean up or as a mud pack, to ingesting them. After testing and getting these results the big question are.

Is it a risk or an advantage to take these substances internally?

Do they actually remove radioactive contamination from a persons body as claimed?

Are the radioactive isotopes in them being absorbed when they pass through the digestive system?

It is generally agreed that consuming radioactive, or stable lead is not a good thing!

This type of testing only shows the radioactive isotopes that emit Gamma radiation in the samples. There may be stable lead and other heavy metal contamination also present.

After testing, I personally would not ingest these substances without a lot of further research, showing that they are actually doing something positive.

Bentonite Clay and Zeolite need further testing by others with this sort of equipment, to verify this. Note, samples mined from other locations may test differently.

Peaks in these charts are relative to the quantity of the samples used, plus the length of time the testing took. You will need to get an understanding of this to fully interpret the testing results from this equipment.

For instance, the peaks in the chart from the sample of radium on the clock dial that weighs a fraction of a gram, were very large. The Bentonite clay and Zeolite samples were 625 grams and 1 Kg. These are much larger test samples of material. They were also tested over a longer period of time. You need to take into account, time, distance and quantity, to make a proper assessment of the results. The radioactivity detected in the Bentonite clay and Zeolite samples were very much smaller than the radium clock dial!

Brazil Nuts Chart

Radioactive isotopes were found in Brazil nuts purchased at the local supermarket. See attached chart. The chart shows radioactive lead isotopes are present. The second green peak marker in the chart is at 241 keV and other peaks at 295, 351, are the markers for radioactive lead. Then the other largest peak is for Bismuth 214 at 609 etc. The large blue coloured peak is the secondary X-rays, a product of a test chamber not being lined with copper, and the smaller blue coloured peak is Potassium K40 in my natural background. These results suggest this contamination is not from Fukushima because of the presents of Bismuth 214.

Information on Brazil nuts.,

1. Brazil nut trees produce fruit almost exclusively in pristine forests.

2. The fruit takes 14 months to mature after pollination of the flowers.

3. Around 20,000 tons of Brazil nuts are harvested each year, of which Bolivia accounts for about 50%, Brazil 40% and Peru 10% (2000 estimates).

If I can detect radioactive Lead and Bismuth in Brazil nuts at these levels, it suggests there must also be levels of stable lead present. I have taken Brazil nuts off my diet. If I had detected this in any other food, I would do the same.

It has been known for a long time that Brazil nut trees are bio-accumulating radium that can be found in most soils, because of their very deep root systems.

I was under the impression until I tested them, that the higher radioactivity in Brazil nuts was just caused by the extra concentration of natural occurring K40 in them like a Banana. It appears that it has been known for a long time that they also contained radioactive Lead and Bismuth.

Link provided by enenews member aigeezer in reference to this subject.

http://www.ehow.com/about_5382624_dangers-brazil-nuts.html

Quote,

“It’s believed Brazil nuts have 1,000 times more radium than the next most radioactive food. While extensive studies have yet to be conducted, the amount of radiation in a Brazil nut is still small when compared to radiation encountered in everyday life, and it’s not believed to pose any serious health risk, regardless of the quantities ingested.”

If I can detect radioactive Lead and Bismuth in Brazil nuts it also suggests there must also be levels of stable lead also present. Personal choice, I have taken Brazil nuts off my diet. If I had detected this isotopes at these levels in any other food I would do the same.

Brazil nuts need further testing by others with this sort of equipment, to verify this. Note, samples harvested from different locations may test differently.

Six month local background radiation level monitoring report, plus free Geiger Counter and DIY food testing lab guides

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)

Wednesday, August 1st, 2012

The overall local background radiation level monthly average has dropped gradually from 43% above average in January 2012 to near normal, 3% above in June. This is good news. There have been six significant radioactive cloud detections in that period locally. Even though the June monthly average dropped to near normal, two email alert advisories were issued in July to those on the club email alert list. For the full information on these events, go to the club monitoring site. You can easily be added to the email alert list by clicking on email registration link at the top of the page.

The club monitoring site is set up very scientifically. The local background radiation levels are recorded every 60 seconds. After 24 hours it is downloaded onto a computer and then turned into a chart. It a significant event has occurred that chart is posted on the club web site. The data in the daily chart is used to calculate the day average, which is also posted to the club web site. At the end of the month, a monthly average is then calculated and posted as a chart to the club web site.

There are also lots of tools provided at the club monitoring site.

http://sccc.org.au/archives/2630

All this effort provides a very detailed long term view of what is happening to local radiation levels. Also we have contact with other people in Australia and New Zealand, who have been using Geiger Counters for 4 years or longer, who provide details of any significant detections they record. This is also posted on the club web site as soon as these reports arrive.

All the local detections so far have happened when there have been tropical winds coming down the east coast of Australia, from the north or north east, off the Pacific Ocean. Detections have occurred during rain events, when it has been fine, during solar storms and when there have been no solar storm. So far detecting has consistently occurred when the wind has been coming from the tropics and from the north or north east off the Pacific Ocean, to our location.

When there is 5 times normal background detection or more, an email alert is sent to those on the club alert list. At these levels it is wise to stay out of the rain. This is particularly important for children. The monitoring is indoors, so if there is a detection of 5x or above, it means it is probably hotter outside.

At our location on the Sunshine Coast, our detections have been low compared to other detections around Australia and New Zealand. My advice to locals at present is to avoid northern pacific sea food, plus eat local grown food and restrict travel to Australia. Do your own research and get up to speed on what is happening. This disaster is not over yet, and it is important to keep monitoring it. Club members are fortunate that they have a very detailed informative monitoring station that they can refer to for up to date information on local and southern hemisphere conditions. Our risk level here is still relatively low compared to a lot of other locations in the northern hemisphere, if you take the above suggested precautions.

These two free guides are now available for club members to use as a resource. They show you how to use a computer to record and test for radiation in the environment. Years ago it would have cost tens of thousands of dollars to set up this sort of environmental testing. Now using your personal computer, it can be done relatively cheaply. If you intend to travel overseas, or have friends in the path of the fallout from Fukushima, these two guides can be valuable resource. A lot of people in the northern hemisphere have made use of these guides. Why? Because the multiple damaged reactors and exposed fuel pools are still releasing large amounts of radiation every hour.

The technology to deal with the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster hasn’t been created yet!

By Peter Daley · Comments (2)

Wednesday, May 30th, 2012

The Japanese Government admitted in the last few weeks that they have 14 Nuclear reactors that had been seriously damaged, not just the 4 at the Fukushima Nuclear disaster site.

Enenews article on this map

The former Japanese ambassador to Switzerland, Ambassador Murata, recently wrote an open letter to the UN secretary general asking for International help in dealing with this disaster. He felt that the Japanese Government and TEPCO did not have the resources to deal with it as urgently as necessary. The Fukushima nuclear disaster has a potential to seriously escalate into an even worse disaster. It is already many times worse than Chernobyl.

http://akiomatsumura.com/2012/04/682.html

He is not the only one calling for Japan to accept international help. US senator Ron Wyden. “Alarmed by the precarious nature of spent fuel storage during his recent tour of the Fukushima Daiichi site, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon subsequently fired off letters to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko and Japanese ambassador to the U.S. Ichiro Fujisaki. He implored all parties to work together and with the international community to address this situation as swiftly as possible.” He considers it a US national security issue.

http://www.alternet.org/health/155283/the_worst_yet_to_come_why_nuclear_experts_are_calling_fukushima_a_ticking_time-bomb?page=entire

The issue at present is spent fuel pool four, at Fukushima. It has 1535 fuel assemblies sitting 30 meters off the ground, in a building that has been heavily damaged by an explosion, and is leaning. This fuel pools contain multiple nuclear reactor cores. To save money, the nuclear industry all over the world, is storing multiple old reactor cores in spent fuel cooling pools above working reactors. They are only supposed to store one or two old reactor cores in each pool, but they have been tightly packing multiple cores into the cooling pools. This is what makes the situation is at Fukushima very serious and urgent.

The experts are saying that if fuel pool 4 collapses, or drains because of another earthquake, the resultant radiation released will be so great that workers and robots will not be able to enter the site to contain the resultant disaster. With the already 100% melted down reactors 1,2 and 3 in china syndrome, plus another large dry cast storage 50 meters away from this fuel pool, it has the potential to release an unprecedented amount of radiation into the Earth’s Biosphere.

We already have a study just released, of the children living in Fukushima City. Fukushima City is outside of the “so called” exclusion zone. In this study, after 12 months of living there, they found 35% of the children under 18 had thyroid nodules. This is unprecedented and means these children where subjected to large exposures of radiation. At the beginning of this disaster all these children should have been evacuated!

Hiroaki Koide, a Nuclear Reactor Specialist and Assistant Professor at Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute, stated at a New York City press conference on May the 4th 2012, that 20,000 square kilometers of Japan should be evacuated, if Japan was to follow the law.

“While traveling in Japan several weeks ago, Fairewinds’ Arnie Gundersen took soil samples in Tokyo public parks, playgrounds, and rooftop gardens. All the samples would be considered nuclear waste, if found in the US. This level of contamination is currently being discovered throughout Japan.”

For an overall summery of the seriousness of situation, I suggest you listen to this interview on Green Planet FM radio station. You can listen to the interview by clicking on the speaker icon at the top of the page. The interview starts after a bit of an introduction on synchronicity.

It is important to understand that enormous amounts of radioactivity have been released, and is still being released into the environment, and that no one has the technology to deal with this type of disaster. The technology has not been created yet. Look at the club background radiation monitoring site for the latest local, and southern hemisphere radiation detection information. It is provided as a community service. http://www.sccc.org.au/archives/2630

Radiation bio-accumulates, particularly in meat, dairy and seafood, grown and harvested in radiation contaminated areas. Ingested radiation from contaminated food radiates body cells with high doses of radiation for long periods of time. Bio-accumulation of radiation in the food chain is probably the most serious threat to us living in the southern hemisphere at present. The Food Lab has the latest up to date International reports of radioactive food contamination.

It is important for your family’s health and safety, that you take the time and effort, to research this subject. In summary, for your family’s safety, only purchase food and goods from areas which are not contaminated. Research dietary systems that help remove, or protect your body from radioactive contamination. This could be important information in dealing with the extra radiation in our environment.

An Oncologist in Japan has been doing ongoing research on the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster site workers, and has found he is getting very good results with Liposomal Vitamin C. It appears to be healing a lot of radiation damage in their bodies. Liposomal Vitamin C is a combination of vitamin C and lecithin. This combination seems to improve the up take of vitamin C by 80%! It maybe a good idea for you and your family to research taking this, to fortify against the effects of these radiation clouds coming through. He has been trying to encourage the Japanese government to educate their people about this treatment.

Fraudulent Science is Widespread!

By Peter Daley · Comments (1)

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012

Our science community is suffering from the same fatal ailment as the rest of our society, corruption, and fraud. Scientism the faithful belief in scientists to be truthful and honest, is a false paradigm. A lot of so called scientific, technological and medial research findings, that are published in our modern media and peer review publications, are outright fraudulent. These research findings are nothing more than corporate propaganda, to influence our purchasing habits, so they can make big profits.

“Trust Us, We’re Experts” Here is a great book on how scientist and medical professional skew the truth. To summarise, they get very well paid to lie. It is worth just reading the synopsis on Amazon page about the book if nothing else. Here is a small excerpt.

“You think that if a scientist says so, it must be true? In the early 1990s, tobacco companies secretly paid thirteen scientists a total of $156,000 to write a few letters to influential medical journals. One bio-statistician received $10,000 for writing a single, eight-paragraph letter that was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. A cancer researcher received $20,137 for writing four letters and an opinion piece to the Lancet, the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, and The Wall Street Journal.”

http://www.amazon.com/Trust-Us-Were-Experts-Manipulates/dp/1585421391

A lot of medical studies and research findings are released each year. After investigation by independent researchers, it is often found that up to 90% of these studies have no real substance to them, and are no more than just propaganda to promote the pharmaceutical industry profit agenda.

http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2010/11/lies-damned-lies-and-medical-science/8269/

Silent Forests is a documentary narrated by David Susuki, about the bad use of genetic science to promote a particular companies financial agenda, for GMO products. In this case forest trees that produce a toxic insecticide BT. This science has the potential to create an environmental nightmare. Large profits can be made from it in the short term, but at what cost to us and future generations? Organic farmers are having their lively hoods destroyed because pollen from genetically modified crops drifts into their fields. GMO companies are now shifting any future liability from damage that may arise from the use of their GMO products, to the farmer’s who have purchased and used their GMO seeds.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w437uQf_A7c

These examples show that the world is facing a crisis situation. All our social systems, financial, scientific and technological, have been taken over by greed and corruption. Profit comes first and the human community and the Earth’s biosphere last. A person who is willing to support a lie in the corporate or government interest, gets promoted, plus gets paid lots of money for promoting the lie. Even if the result of that lie could result in the deaths of large numbers of people, and irreparable harm to the environment.

If the wider community does not take action to stop this, it will get worse. Corrupt people or organizations will constantly test to see what they can get away with. If there is no resistance they will become more emboldened. Whistle blowers should have communities standing behind them and supporting them. They should be rewarded by our communities, for standing up to this, out of control, wide spread corporate and government corruption. This is an American site about whistle blowers but you get the idea. It is worth having a look at the blog on this page also.

http://www.whistleblowers.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=71&Itemid=108

Our society needs to be re-ogranised so that those who have the community interests at heart get promoted. At present our social systems promote those who are psychopathic. This is an excellent documentary on this very subject.

“I Am Fishead” Are Corporate Leaders Egotistical Psychopaths?

Find Anything with Everything

This small software application bypasses Windows search with a lightning quick interface and real-time results for all of the files and folders in your local hard drive or any subsection of it. The software doesn’t do much more than search, but its efficiency, effectiveness, stability, and low system resource usage make it a keeper utility.

The software is split into two main controls:- the search box and the results page. When you first run Everything, it will create an index of all the files and folders on your machine. Unless you have millions of files, the index will be created before you know it. Searching is done in real time, as you type–i.e. the search term “rad” returns 379 objects, “radio” returns 160, and “radiohead” returns 71, all instantly.

The results screen can display seven different fields: Name, Path, Size, Last Write Time, Creation Time, Last Access Time, and Attributes. Sorting by any field takes a little longer than searching, but only slows down noticeably when you sort more than 1,000 results.

Everything also lets users connect to HTTP, FTP, or ETP (Everything Transfer Protocol) servers to allow remote searches, but its functionality is mostly singular–searching your local PC very quickly with minimal resources, and it accomplishes that well. If you’ve never struggled with Windows search before, you might pass Everything by; if your computer is a disorganized mess with files all over the place, Everything might be a wonderful gift.

The programme can be downloaded (free) from – http://www.voidtools.com/download.php – and will run on Windows 2000, XP, 2003 and Vista and Windows 7

This site – http://www.voidtools.com/faq.php give information about the programme and answers questions about Everything including Searching, Results, Customizing and Troubleshooting.

What is an RSS feed and what is it used for

(Reference – http://australia.gov.au/faqs/site-help/help-with-rss-feeds-and-podcasts) (This site also contains information about Podcasts)

Do you spend time looking at a favourite website or blog to see when something new is added? You could save this time and bother by having an RSS Feed to that site.

RSS is an abbreviation for Really Simple Syndication or sometimes Rich Site Summary

An RSS feed is a simple method for staying informed about new content on a website. Types of content that can have RSS feeds are news items, publications, media releases, alerts and blogs.

How does RSS Work?

RSS is a file format that is used to let people know when a certain website or part of a website has been updated with new content.

The service which alerts users to these updates is known as an RSS feed. A feed, like a website, is a file of computer code that your computer converts into something that can be read on your screen. Unlike a website, an RSS feed cannot simply be viewed in your browser window. To view an RSS feed, you will need to download an RSS reader (also called a feed reader or RSS aggregator).

When loaded into an RSS reader, a feed will deliver a brief summary of each update that is made to the website it comes from, along with a link to the updated area of the website.

RSS feeds can usually be found linked from a small orange icon such as

or or .

Where can I find RSS readers?

There are a large number of RSS readers (also known as feed readers or news aggregators) available to the public.

Some are downloadable programs that are installed on your computer, while others are web-based services that you log in to through your web browser. Some web browsers (such as Firefox, Opera and Safari) are also capable of tracking RSS feeds.

Daily Local Background Radiation Levels and Advisories

By Peter Daley · Comments (14)

Wednesday, March 7th, 2012

For the Sunshine Coast Queensland Australia, the recorded 4 year average local background radiation level was 0.10 uSv/hr before the Fukushina Nuclear disaster , see historical chart at bottom of page.

Once the Gammascout Alert Geiger counter recorded 24 hr 60 second logged data, of the day has been downloaded, it is analyzed and then posted here the next morning. At times significant peaks in radiation maybe detected which would warrant the issuing of a cautionary email advisory or an alert. To be placed on the radiation advisory alert list simply click on alertregister@sccc.org.au, address, and send. Please take the time to read any email advisory or alert, and come back to this web site during the day for further updates. This site was created in response to these free air radiation cloud detections in Australia, and New Zealand.

This short animation of Northern, and Southern Hemisphere air circulation, shows why we can get detections so far south.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Daily average local background radiation levels by day and month for 2013

(To see last years 2012 data charts, and advisories go here)

Detections have been made all over the world, these reports are local detections for Australia and New Zealand. “Is then, the whole of Australia also contaminated with radiation?” No!

A lot of these detections reported for Australia are very localized. Even with a recent record day average of 0.213 uSv/hr, which is 113% above our average local background, is still lower than a lot of places in the world. It much lower than the USA national average of 0.34 uSv/hr, and lower than the world average of 0.23 uSv/hr.

What the increasing day average detections here do indicate, is that our local background radiation level is increasing. Our traditional lower levels lets us detect small changes. So far most of the increases here, seem to be increasing Radon levels in the atmosphere. The dynamic is changing so constant testing is continuing. Read the October 2012 monthly report here, for a couple theories on why Radon levels may be increasing.

Here is a theory put forward by the people running the Nimbin monitoring Station, for the large Radon washout events detected in the Nimbin and Mullumbimby areas in late January 2013. The area had been in a dry period, and the underground aquifers were low. A flooding rain event came through and quickly forced a large amount of radioactive Radon gas into the atmosphere, that had built up during the dry period, in the aquifer layers.

The Radon daughter isotopes were then washed out of the atmosphere during the rain event, and detected on the rain swabs. It is not uncommon to get large radon washout events happening anywhere in the world during rain events. Radon gas is in the air we breath all the time, in small amounts. It decays to radioactive Lead Pb-214, Bismuth Bi-214 and Polonium Po-214. Radon daughter isotopes decay very quickly. Even so, in an event like this, with such high multi uSv/hr levels of detection, it would advisable to stay out of the rain. Much larger events like this have also been happening in Brazil, Video by Chris Busby http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=PoJb4CTPauA See the early May, late January and early February 2013, reports below.

We haven’t seen any studies on the heath effects of being exposed to large Radon washout events. It is only a suggestion to take those precautions in the Rain Alert emails. Why is the east coast of Northern New South Wales is getting such large radon washout events? We have some theories, but don’t really know. Here is a link to more information on Radon. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/nuclear/radon.html

November 2013 (30% above average)

Alert Caloundra 24th November 2013 - On the 23rd it was 46% above the 4 year pre Fukushima day average for this location. What do these local alert levels mean, and how are they determined ? These alert levels are set by the station operator, and are not based on any government alert level. It is suggested that during these periods of elevated free air background radiation detections, it would be wise to stay out of the rain. Here you will find local rain tests results explained in detail, plus why it is suggested to stay out of the rain during these elevated detection events. Large cloud masses where flowing from the tropics from around Darwin to the East Coast of Australia, during this period.

North Island New Zealand report update - All the evidence is suggesting that the recent Blackcatsystems detection was genuine.

From a contact on the North Island of New Zealand.

“I had usually high readings averaging 0.47 micro SV yesterday 28th” They had just arrived back from overseas. It was located at One Tree Hill (which is a former Volcano in Auckland), it was there all day. No Cel Phones in vicinity…” This person is using a Gamma Scout Geiger counter.

This was from another contact of theirs.

“Contacted one other here in North Island around Auckland and they also noted unusually high readings (they knew something was up) the past three
days but today its back to normal current background.”

North Island New Zealand 26th and 27th - Can’t confirm if it is a station malfunction, or a genuine elevated detection. This North Island New Zealand monitoring station had elevated detections on Blackcatsystems on the 26th and 27th. The monitoring station has since been taken down by Blackcatsystems. During this event two other private monitoring stations, located on the North Island of New Zealand, did not show any significant elevation in background radiation levels.

Caloundra 25th October 2013 - Yesterday’s day average was 38% above the 4 year pre Fukushima day average. It is dry and windy here at present, so this is a free air detection increase, not a radon washout event. It is suggested that if it does rain, to stay out of it.

North Island New Zealand 12th October 2013 - Significant background increase detected on the Kapiti gaigakaunta private monitoring station.

September 2013 (15% above average)

Dunedin New Zealand report 21st September 2013 - For the last 3 weeks, the ionisation chamber has been elevated – and is sitting in the 1.8 to 2.3 picoCurie per litre range. Normal is 0.3-0.5 … max. The GS is stil 0.17 to 0.18 microSieverts per hour (resident and stable) … and the SBM-20′s have been tripping through 60 CPM … which shows something is floating about. Waiting for it to break 70 CPM. Again, my flat is better sealed, so most isn’t coming in … however … I have a strong feeling that I trust my Radon Siren. It ‘sees things coming’ as it were. Cheap, simple, and works. Suited for radon daughters, and appears to work well for … Fukushima. Shall investigate ionization chamber construction in future.

NOTE: Scintillator testing of the rain swab collected on the 18th September at Caloundra, is indicating the presence of a Zeolite type material. A source of this could be volcanic ash. When testing is complete, the full report will be posted here. Here is the Geiger counter test chart for the rain swab. The scintillator test chart will be provided soon. Preliminary analysis also indicates the presence of trace amounts of Iodine I-129 and Lead Pb-210. Here is the completed Alert Rain Event Report.

Alert Caloundra report 17th September 2013 – Storms overnight here, so took rain swab off car this morning. On testing it peaked at approximately 6 uSv/hr (1800 cpm) using two Russian SBM-20 tubes and Theremino Geiger kit. Again it is suggested to stay out of the rain. This rain sample is decaying quickly which suggests it is a large radon washout. Geiger counter test chart

Alert Nimbin Monitoring Station report 16th September 2013 – Nimbin is located on the east coast of northern New South Wales Australia.

“…Rain began this morning…. drove to town about midday, got home about 30min ago and sat my SBT 10 on the roof of the car, as I gathered my things out of the back seat, and it started beeping. It was reading 0.38uSv/h….moments later I took a swab off the whole car roof (small sedan) and put it to my LND 7317 and got ~6500CPM for the first few minutes. I’ll send a photo and chart soon….” Here is the decay chart and detection photo.

We haven’t seen any studies on the heath effects of being exposed to large Radon washout events like this. It is only a suggestion to take these precautions in the Rain Alert emails. If you live in the area, it is suggested to stay out of the rain during these events, plus keep children and pets out of it also. If you do get wet, have a good shower. It maybe a very large radon washout event, that seems to be common to the Nimbin area. This rain washout could also have other isotopes in it. Without further testing with better equipment, there is no way of knowing.

Caloundra Australia 10th September - Small day average spike in background radiation levels here on the 10th September.

Caloundra Australia 14th August 2013 - The first half of this month has seen a steady increase in background radiation levels, compared to July.

Dunedin New Zealand 14th August 2013 – “Yes, spikes here … had a few 70 CPM and the curious thing is an increase to 1.2 picoCuries per litre this morning from 0.8 picoCuries … which is the normal average. Something is blowing in the wind.”

Dunedin New Zealand 7th August 2013 – Increase in background levels “GS (Gamma Scout) indicated 0.17 to 0.18 micros per hour … much better than some of the higher readings last year, air content 0.8 picoCuries per litre”

(Click on charts to see larger version)

July 2013 (6% above average)

Dunedin New Zealand 30th July 2013 – “Just had some 60 and 70 CPM readings … interesting. Normal background is 30-56 CPM … NW airflow from Australia coming over. Background increased from 0.8 to 1.4 picoCuries per litre and climbing. Air direction from Sydney …”

Dunedin New Zealand 1st July 2013 – “Curious … Just did a rain swab here …. we’ve got Radon – but from where? Wind is coming from Australia …. 100 CPM from a 0.25 m^2 swab in lite rain … Current ionization reading 1.5 picoCuries per litre and climbing …. hot wind …”

Nimbin report on the 1st July 2013 – The rain currently falling has become a little hot in the night as radon is forced from the ground due to water inundation – a swab taken from my car this morning yielded 3 uSv/h (LND 7317).

Dunedin New Zealand 19th June 2013 - “getting some 60+CPM readings on the SBMs for the first time in ages…. as this southerly approaches – had a big northerly tropic cyclone hit NZ with lots of rain …. so it is pushing up the remnants back on us …..

Spikes in background radiation also showing up on the North Island of New Zealand Kapiti gaigakaunta monitoring station also.

http://www.metvuw.com/satellite/

Got some rather nasty count rates from the rain recently in the 100+ CPM from near the window one night recently …. Suspect northerly air flows from the Pacific are contaminated.”

Caloundra rain swab test chart 9th June 2013 - Here is a test chart of a rain swab of a local car, that shows a small Radon washout event.

Nimbin report on the 9th June 2013 – “Bit of a wave blew through yesterday around midday, See the attached chart/s – The top chart is the three monitors here over the last 14 days and the bottom chart is CPM for 2xSi180g over 24hrs(8am-8am). All three counters recorded the wave. Drizzle and light showers all day…. Swab taken off the car earlier in the day yielded 2300cpm w/LND 7317 – the swab still showing activity now.

Rain water test 2nd June 2013 - May be a detection of Iodine I-129 from the tin roof down pipe polyester filter. It is not conclusive. Rain water was passing through this polyester filter off a 36 sqm tin roof at a location Sunshine Coast. If it is, it is still a very small detection of I-129, because the filter was in place for all of May. Mind you, not all of it would have been captured using this filter system. Lots of Beryllium Be-7 is also present! If I-129 is present in this Southern Hemisphere test, it would suggest that there is a lot more in the rain in the Northern Hemisphere!

For background on this subject read this article on using Be-7 as a tracer for I-129.

http://www.sciencecodex.com/dartmouth_scientists_track_radioactive_iodine_from_japan_nuclear_reactor_meltdown-89004

There is a natural Beryllium Be-7 and Lead Pb-210 cycle here in the Southern Hemisphere. There is more Beryllium Be-7 and Lead Pb-210, detected in rain washouts, during summer than in winter. This appears to be above average detection of Beryllium Be-7, and Lead Pb-210 in this test for May 2013.

Be-7 is produced by cosmic ray spallation in the upper atmosphere. The Sun had been relatively quite during May 2013. It takes around two weeks to reach sea level. It is my understanding that the Japanese have been pumping large amounts of liquid Nitrogen onto the multiple molten coriums at the Fukushima Nuclear disaster, to cool them down. The neutron bombardment, plus lots of underground corium venting, has also been releasing large amounts Beryllium Be-7 and 1-129.

Theory

Because the I-129 at 39.6 keV, and Pb-210 at 46.5 keV, have energy peaks so close together it can be difficult to tell them apart with a NAI scintillator. If they are present at the same time, the peak that shows will drift toward the 39.6 kev if more I-129 is present, and towards 46.5 keV if more Pb-210 is present.

Nimbin update report on the 31 May 2013 – “I went out 6 times and took swabs of different surfaces of roughly the same size and grit content, and each time I got between 2.5uSv/h 5.5uSv/h. Yesterday & today seems more like 0.5 to 2.5uSv/h. This is so not fun….”

Nimbin update on the 22nd Alert Level detection 24.05.2013 – ” ….and here’s the chart – http://youtu.be/j18DbxD5Oys I live on the rim of a very large caldera and I suspect that the radon responsible for these events is forced out of the ground right here at times of high rainfall, when the fractures in the strata are inundated with water. Often the mountain that is my back yard is under mist and I suspect that mist accumulates radon progeny which is then rained out. Onto my bloody vegetable garden!”

Sydney 23.05.2013, “My 2 counters are now showing 0.20uSv/h. It’s now 23/5/2013 22:19 Sydney Time. This is a bit higher than usual. Yesterday, I got some rain and then checked my wet clothes for radiation with the soeks couter, no radiation above background could be found. ”

Caloundra 22nd May 2013, Rained this evening, so I did a rain swab test, 0.65 uSv/hr. Longer testing with a sensitive Geiger counter showed the normal decay of Radon daughters in the washout.

Alert Nimbin monitoring station 22 May 2013. “Very high radon washout event currently in the Nimbin Valley. About 40 minutes ago, as I was leaving to drive to town for some supplies, I took a rain sample from the bonnet of my car (small sedan) using a cotton swab. When I returned home 25 minutes later I put the swab under my LND 7317 geiger counter and got 3974 counts in the first minute. That’s basically 10uSv/h! I’m logging it’s decay now….”

Note: Large Radon washout events can be very localized, just because it is happening in one location does not mean it is happening at yours.

Scintillator rain swabs test chart, for the 2nd and 11th May alert level rain event, at Nimbin Australia. It appears to be another very large Radon washout. The levels of Lead Pb-210 and Beryllium Be7 detected in these rain swabs, is much less than the Nimbin late January and early February 2013 rain swabs.

Caloundra 11.04.2013 Background levels here have dropped back to near normal averages in the last few days. Presently most of the air at my location in Australia has been coming from the east / south east, off the Pacific Ocean. In the last few months air flow has mainly been coming from the tropics, or off the Australian continent.

I used the Theremino Geiger Kit to test a rain swab I collected on Tuesday. It also showed a low radon washout level. I put it in long average charting to get this 13 hour chart. Then just took a screen shot with the built in chart capture feature built into this free software. The rain swab also started at a very low level of 0.20 uSv/hr.

Report on the Alert level late January 2013 rain swab tests, February 9th 2013. Tested the Alert level +++ rain swabs collected at a private monitoring station on the east coast of northern New South Wales Australia. They were collected in late January, during a flooding rain event that had come down the east coast of Australia, from the tropics. Here is the test chart results of these rain swabs.

http://sccc.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/East-Coast-Northern-New-South-Walles-rain-swabs-96-+-69-test-070213-TV38.png

There were small traces of Uranium U-235 detected in this test, plus the signature of fallout isotope/isotopes, at around 492 keV.

Report at the time.

“Well, today I broke the record for high detections in rain samples. 2700cpm or ~10uSv/h (LND 7317) off an area the size of a Corolla bonnet. I’m logging its decay…”

http://nimbinmonitor.info/#"

This is the third test sample tested here, that found the signature of the fallout isotope/isotopes, at around 492 keV.

1. It was detected in a local soil sample last year, on the Sunshine Coast. Here is that test chart of that soil sample using PRA scintillator software. (In the test above Theremino MCA software was used.)

http://sccc.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Unusual-soil-sample-040812-64-13.jpg

2. It was detected in the activated charcoal down pipe capture test.

3. Detected in the cloth rain swabs.

UPDATE to mystery isotope detection: Mystery isotope in the above test chart may be Beryllium Be-7 at 477 keV.

PavewayIII suggestion, “Can you try this sample again with a beta shield?”

I put a extra Aluminum beta shield directly in front of the Scintillator crystal, with these rain swabs behind it. This shifted the gamma peak to around 477 keV, which is the marker for Beryllium Be-7. Beryllium puts out 10% gamma to around 90% beta. Beryllium beta energies are 11% at 384 keV, and 89% at 862 keV. There must be an interaction of these beta energy’s with the scintillator crystal, that was creating the slight gamma peak shift to around 490 keV. Berylllium also has a 53 day half life.

Fukushima Corium, plus Liquid Nitrogen Injections, produces Beryllium Be-7 from what I have been reading. It can also be created by a solar coronal mass ejection hitting the earth’s atmosphere.

Important Note: Since the Mullumbimby late January and early February 2013 detection reports were posted, the owner of the Gamma Scout Geiger counter, reported his unit had developed a fault. That fault was investigated, and the unit has since been repaired. He now has a Gamma Scout Geiger Counter, and a Theremino Geiger kit set up with multiple SBM-20 Russian tubes. This means he can now cross check between units, to verify each unit is working correctly.

This brings into question the accuracy of his reported detected levels, for late January and early February 2013, at his location in Mullumbimby. Multiple Geiger counters at different locations, spread over a wide area, detected elevated local background radiation levels during this event. This was from the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, to the Northern New South Wales East Coast. The highest detections where on the Northern New South Wales East Coast. The other units used by people at different locations were all reported to be working correctly during this time, and still are. Most of these private monitoring stations have multiple Geiger Counters to cross check against, so they can verify detections.

Alert Mullumbimby 2nd, to 4th February 2013. (Note: Mullumbimby Geiger Counter reported as being faulty) Mullumbimby still has been getting alert level local background, with day averages at times above 0.40 uSv/hr, plus peaks over 1.20 uSv/hr. Normal background is generally around 0.12 uSv/hr, 24 hour charts for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th of February.

In light rain to medium showers background radiation was increasing setting off the alarm repeatedly in the evening with values increasing. Chart of event

Rain Alert issued 22nd January 2013. These rain swab test reports could be very high Radon daughter washout events, even so, at these multi uSv/hr levels of radiation being detected, it maybe advisable to keep children and pets, out of the rain. Rain washout events like this can be very localized. Just because happening one location, doesn’t mean it will occur at your location. Radon wash out decays quickly, most of it has decayed after an hour. Because these are such large multi uSv/hr detections, it will take hours before it decays to near normal background levels.

Until further tests are done, there is no way of knowing if other longer lived isotopes are present. If you, a child or a pet gets wet, it would be advisable to have a shower as soon as possible, and wash hair and body thoroughly. Also, just after an event like this, it would be wise to wash any vegetables, herbs and fruit well, if picked from your garden. If you use tank water, it is suggested that the water passes through a good carbon, or better, type water filter before use. We haven’t seen any studies on the heath effects of being exposed to large Radon washout events. It is only a suggestion to take these precautions.

Why is the east coast of Northern New South Wales is getting such large radon washout events? We have some theories, but don’t really know. Here is a link to more information on Radon. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/nuclear/radon.html

Is travelling in the Northern Hemisphere safe?

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)

Sunday, March 4th, 2012

There are increasing independent reports coming in from people with radiation testing equipment that is strongly suggesting that travelling to certain areas in the Northern Hemisphere could be a serious risk to you and your family’s health. I know a lot of members travel, that is why I have written this article. Study the information in the articles provided, and do further research before making travel arrangements. It could mean the difference between life and death for you or a family member. Radiation fallout will not kill you instantly, but depending on the internal and/or external doses, it can considerably shorten one’s life.

Last year the Japanese tourist industry was offering ten thousand free flights to Japan. They said that the Fukushima nuclear disaster was under control, and that is was now safe to travel there, as long as you stayed outside of the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster exclusion zone. The evidence provided here strongly suggests otherwise.

This very recent February 25th 2012 independent report shows a recording of 6.5 uS/Hr background level of radiation at Tokyo Station. For those who don’t understand what 6.5 uS/Hr means, it is 65 times higher than our average local background, and ten times Chernobyl mandatory evacuation level. At this level, it should also be a mandatory evacuation zone, the same as the Fukushima nuclear disaster zone!

Tokyo railway station is a railway station in the Marunouchi business district of Chiyoda. Tokyo station is near the Imperial Palace grounds and the Ginza commercial district. It is the main intercity rail terminal in Tokyo, the busiest station in Japan in terms of number of trains per day, with over 3,000 trains per day, and the fifth-busiest in Eastern Japan in terms of passenger numbers.

Tokyo railway station has tens of thousands of men, women and children travelling through it daily. It means that a lot of radioactive dust has been transported from contaminated areas by travellers and it is also being stirred up as they move through the station.

Ingested radiation from contaminated food, liquids or air, radiates body cells with high doses of radiation for long periods of time. Radioactive dust breathed in is very dangerous because if it gets stuck in you lungs, it will irradiate the cell it is next to, and those around, it with high doses of radiation, and you can’t walk away from it. Unlike a piece of radiation that maybe lying on the ground. So this is a very serious health issue for anyone travelling through, or working at the station.

Is it now necessary to own a Geiger Counter and learn how to use it properly, if you intend travelling overseas? This is a question some of you may have to ask. I will be available to show you how to use a Geiger counter at club meetings, for those who are interested.

This is the cheapest Geiger I have seen, but only if you already own an iphone.

Are aircraft flights across the Northern Hemisphere also becoming very risky?

All the evidence is suggesting that a lot of the fallout from Fukushima Nuclear disaster is still being released into the upper atmosphere in the Northern Hemisphere. When planes fly through this higher atmosphere, the radioactive fallout cloud is sucked into the cabin of the aircraft, together with radioactive hot particles.

This article by By Michael Collins, EnviroReporter.com documents a flight across America on December 23rd 2011. The big differences between him and his new wife, and the normal passengers, was that they took a Geiger counter and also wore respirators.

Hot particles where detected on their respirators at the end of the flight. Also they had readings as high as 1,238 CPM in flight, or over 36 times higher than the background radiation in the jet, at the terminal. This article clearly shows the dangers in travelling by air in the Northern Hemisphere at present. Pregnant women or small children are much more sensitive to the effects of radiation. So it is important that your family becomes fully aware of the risks of travelling overseas at present. If they are not aware of the risk, they can’t take action to protect themselves.

http://www.enviroreporter.com/2012/01/seasons-readings/

These articles suggest that travel hubs are becoming concentrators of radioactive fallout carried around by people travelling through them. Again it is the ingested radiation that is the most dangerous, because you can’t get away from it. Try as best you can to educate your families to the present risks, as there is no main stream media reporting of this issue.

I would like to point out again that the people in these reports are using radioactive testing equipment that clearly shows what they are reporting is true. So there is strong physical evidence to back up what they are saying!

UPDATE: 22 Febuary 2012 another report of high radiation levels when flying across America. It is normal to have raised radiation levels of 4x to 5x ground background levels when flying at high altitudes. This is way above that!

Measured radiation on a flight from Flint Michigan to San Diego, CA and @ 32.000 feet, “Radiation reached approx. 2.85 mcSv/h Microsiverts per hour”

Radiation Cloud Detection Dunedin New Zealand 29th January 2012

By Peter Daley · Comments (36)

Monday, January 30th, 2012

I have been in contact with a person In New Zealand who just sent me information of a detection of a high level radiation cloud passing over Dunedin New Zealand. You will find a copy of his email correspondence below. This chart is the recorded background radiation level during this event. Visual observation saw peaks reach an incredible 1.89 uS/Hr !

“Dear Peter,

Now that I have regained my composure, I thought I would write. It has been a wild afternoon! I shall write you a report upon what was observed later, if you wish to publish it, you can. Feel free to include those images on your website.

Gammascout detection of radiation cloud .81uS/Hr Dunedin New Zealand 29th January 2012

The steady-ish readings of 0.81 (photo) were taken when I came in off the street. It was briefly reading 1.89 on the street in the wind. I decided to come inside asap to the back yard, and then left the GS sitting outside for a while (0.25 photo) – checking on it. I’m in a relatively sheltered section. There was no way I was going to stand in ~2 microSieverts per hour in the wind!! No detectable radiation on me as such, it appears to be in the air. I can only speculate as to what it is. To be honest, it scared the cap out of me!

I remember waste drums putting out 1.2 micros per hour … but almost 2 in the wind – well?! You don’t stand in that and wait around. So far, I’ve kept it relatively quiet from the press, and shall continue to monitor – as we have a rain front system approaching from the South. I’m not sure how to handle this, as I wish to maintain a very very low profile.

It is clear, that both ARPANSA and NRL are intentionally playing dumb. That said, it is probably best that I feed information to you, and it can be used at your end effectively. I’m now set up with camera and logging everything on 1 minute sampling (in case the data fouls on transfer and also that a photographed reading says more than a data point)”

Here is his follow up report.

“Hello Peter!

Please find the following notes.
Notes re yesterday:

On Sunday 29/1/2012 at 13:30 local time an increase in radiation inside was noted. This was investigated, and found to be emanating from the atmosphere itself. Wind conditions were gusting to strong from the NW direction at the time. Standing in the street, a peak climbing rate of 1.89 microSieverts/hr was noted (the observer did not remain to see how high it would go, as it was considered unwise to do so).
The Gammascout was reset to collect data (as its memory was full), and the sampling window set to 1 minute.
Several excursions were made outside to investigate the conditions, and the results can be seen in photographs and in the logs supplied. These were recorded in a sheltered ‘back yard’. These logs did not record the peak events see earlier, unfortunately.
From 16:51 events were recorded inside. The Gammascout memory was downloaded when it was full. Outside natural background average is 0.10-0.12 micro Sv/hr, inside average ranges from 0.15-0.18 microSv/hr.

Further monitoring will take place in conditions when the wind direction is from the Tasman Sea. Further photographs await processing on 35 mm film.”

Another radiation cloud, this time a massive 4.5 uS/Hr passing over Dunedin New Zealand 1st February 2012, around 1 to 2am in the morning, during a rain event!

” The GS unit wasn’t set properly after the first recorded spike. Hence, the uncorrected date data was published. The time is correct, for the date specified … it was never envisioned that fallout would be here, and the date was never correctly set after its last service.

The missing patch between the logs is the down time for the GS uni switching from 1 minute to 7 day logging as the memory fills.

Average 24 hours is 0.14 … climbing to 0.23/0.24 and higher for these events … and lasting for a while post … dropping to 0.14 from 0.23 … inside.

The dip after the heavy counts is really curious, and has been seen with several GS units. There is not explanation … none. But it is real … the ocean/beach rate here is 0.03 to 0.05 micro/hr … land is a bit warmer.
The evening that it occurred coincided with a heavy brief downpour …. when the rain stopped, so did the radiation. The drops were really large, and weird … also, there had been fallout previous to the unit being reset – you can see the earlier blips. Some of the earlier zeros are from guests playing with the unit resetting it. These were recorded inside – outside would have been hotter. You can see the different spikes as the gs unit was moved to the window … the window was slammed shut … and there is 2 feet of brink and mortar in this place! Solid as!!

We have had a smaller event her recently also with the rain … as the ground dries up, it does as well. Background stays elevated for a bit … then it disperses. Short half life and mobile. Either or, in the rain, or free in the wind … with small amounts of residue … ”

Here is the location of Dunedin. It is on the south island of New Zealand, what I considered to be one of the safest places on the planet, if a Nuclear disaster like Fukushima happened. So what is going on?

Latest potrblog video provides a good explanation of what is happening with the jet stream air currents at present. A split in the jet stream has occurred which is driving some of the Fukushima fallout radiation into the Southern Hemisphere.

Brief large spike in local background radiation. What caused it?

By Peter Daley · Comments (30)

Monday, January 9th, 2012

This spike in radiation was detected on the 8th January 2012, on the Sunshine Coast, Australia. The wind direction was NNE at 22degrees. Geiger Counter Alarm starting going off at around 6.30 pm. Raised radiation levels lasted until around 9.45 pm.

The Gammascout Geiger Counter alert alarm was set to go off at .50 uS/Hr, and to record data every 10 minutes. I was shocked to hear the Geiger alarm going off. Visual observations showed actual peaks reaching .80 uS/Hr. Even though this chart of the downloaded 10 minute interval recorded data is not showing the true peaks that occurred, it is still dramatic.

If the maximum visual observed peak had been recorded, the peak on this chart would be over twice as high!

The beginning of the chart would be considered average background for our area. Background radiation levels here, with 4 years of recorded data to refer to, has averaged around .10 uS/Hr. The background radiation level was peaking 8 times above average during this event!

Either some of the radioactive fall out from Fukushima has briefly reached us, or there is some seismic activity N/NE of our location in the Pacific Ocean which has released a spike in radon gas. Just a theory.

The dramatic drop in background reading just before the spike is also interesting. Anyone have any ideas?

I promised members that I would post any unusual radiation data, I just didn’t expect to be doing this so soon.

Here is an article at The Sunshine Coast Daily, the local paper on this event, plus an interview on New Zealand radio station GreenplanetFM. Click the play button next to the speaker icon, to listen to the radio interview, that starts after a bit of an introduction on synchronicity.

I have since had a report from someone in New Zealand. He detected .33 uS/Hr. He had wiped down a small area of a wet car, and then tested the cloth. He indicated that this was above their normal background level. This was 2 days after my report.

“Hello Peter!

I carried out a swab of a car windscreen after our first rain in weeks. I’ve been doing this every so often out of curiosity after seeing many videos on youtube showing results.Well, after 4-5 weeks of northerlies, and no serious rain (as well as stinking hot weather) a quick swab test of 0.4m^2 of windscreen yielded 0.33 microSieverts per hour … outside background here averages 0.12 microSieverts per hour …

Using the front foil, it appeared to be alphas and betas …
What ever you were detecting blew this way, and precipitated in the rain.

I’m in Dunedin NZ. Almost 46 South

Best Regards and Wishes,”

Here are four theories on what caused the spike in radiation.

Theory One

My theory is that there was an event at Fukushima around late December 2011 – new years 2012 that released a large amount of radiation. The weather conditions where similar to those of March / April 2011. The (NILU), Norwegian Institute for Air Research had run simulations which predicted the creation of world wide radiation fallout clouds from the Fukushima nuclear disaster for March / April 2011. One of these simulations for March / April 2011 indicated that a radiation cloud would form off the east coast of Australia. This year the cloud formed again but blew inland, and didn’t stay off the coast.

Here is the NILU map of the March /April 2011 radiation cloud off Australia’s east coast.

See all the Fukushima radiation cloud simulation maps for 2011 by NILU here.

TheoryTwo

Potrblog have gone to a lot of trouble, and put a detailed youtube video analysis of the Caloundra radiation spike event on the Internet. These people have done similar analyses of American radiation fallout events. This is their theory.

Theory Four

HAARP and how Fukushima radiation beamed down to Australia, by Yoichi Shimatsu, former General Editor – The Japan Times Weekly

http://rense.com/general95/haarp1.html

Here are new background radiation level charts that show raised radiation levels for January 25th, 27th and February 25th 2012.

This week starting January 23/01/2012, we have had over 300 mm of rain. Rain troughs have been coming from the Australian northern tropics constantly for days now. It would appear that our average daily background radiation is increasing since the spike event on the 8 January 2012, (see chart above).

I am now recording local background radiation every minute, so I am more likely to record those spikes. You will notice that the dark blue radiation average for 24 hours line in the new charts has crept up above .15 uS/Hr to .18 uS/Hr over the two days. Radiation spikes are now going above .3 uS/Hr, plus background readings are much more volatile. Up until the 8th January 2012, I have not seen spikes go above .2 uS/Hr at my location. These charts represents the highest average so far for the 4 years of data I have collected on local background radiation levels. Our average local background over four years has been around .10 uS/Hr!

Another radioactive cloud passes over on the 25 February 2012, 24 hour chart – one minute sampling.

The highest recorded peak was .34 uS/Hr at 7.33 am. More spikes of .30 uS/Hr between 7am to 8am in the morning. Dark blue line in the 24 hour chart is the daily average, .146 uS/Hr. This all happened at the end of a significant local rain event. Some local areas received 340 mm of rain in 24 hours.

I looked at the local weather radar at the time and the rain event came in off the ocean from the north north east. The same direction as the radiation cloud that I detected passing over the east coast of Australia on January 8th 2012.

Another radioactive cloud passes over on the 5th March 2012, 24 hour chart – one minute sampling.

The highest peak was a visual observation of .63 uS/Hr after the Geiger alarm went of, lots more spikes of .30 uS/Hr and above falling off in the late afternoon . Dark blue line in the 24 hour chart is the daily average, .185 uS/Hr. This all happened during a significant local rain event.

I looked at the local weather radar at the time and the rain event came in off the Pacific Ocean in a strange spiral pattern from the north.

Radioactive cloud detections on the 20th and 21st of April

So far. all our radioactive cloud detections have occurred when the wind has come from the northern tropics. From my observations of the weather radar at the time, on the 20th and 21st, two air masses, a northerly and southerly, meet just north of Caloundra. The Geiger Counter alarm sounded on numerous occasions, indicating radiation levels went above .50 uSv/hr multiple times. These above .50 uSv/hr events where brief and were not recorded by the Geiger Counter data logger. My theory is that when the northerly pressure system pushed a little bit south, we got the radiation detections. When the northerly air mass was pushed north background went back to normal. The radioactive cloud detections are a result of the huge amounts of radiation released by the still active Fukushima Nuclear disaster, breaching the Northern and Southern hemisphere air circulation barrier.

Radioactive cloud detections on the 23rd of April

Here is the chart for the 23rd, peaks not as high as the 20th and 21st April, but the days overall average radiation level was higher.

Artificial Earthquake Creation Technology

By Peter Daley · Comments (1)

Monday, November 28th, 2011

Previous generations had the view that it was a scientific fact it was impossible to fly, or to have large metal ships that float, or travel under water. New, previously impossible technologies and possibilities are created, as new information and discoveries are added to the human collective intellectual database.

We are constantly told about new scientific discoveries. But what are scientific discoveries? Nothing more than what was already possible in the world, but humans where not aware of it. So if that is the case, doesn’t this show that what we consider as fact can be changed in an instant with new information? It is always important to keep an open mind, and a view that anything may be possible.

You have all been taught that the Earth and the planets revolve around the Sun in elliptical orbits. That is true if you think of the Sun as stationary. The Sun is actually moving around the centre of our Milky Way Galaxy at 220km/sec, a phenomenal speed. That the means that the planets are actually traveling in a spiral through space, if you take into account the 220KM/sec motion of the Sun. You can look up this information about our Sun here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Just taking into consideration an object as huge as the Sun’s size and mass, traveling at 220Km/sec, plus our tiny planet is following it while spinning around, it’s just incredible!

This means that our set perspective of what we considered factual and possible, about the motion of the planets and the Sun, has just changed in an instant with new information.

Is it possible that someone now has the technology to artificially create earthquakes? There seems to be evidence that this is the case. I keep an eye on earthquake activity throughout the world on a daily bases. Looking at the grid pattern of small earthquakes in the screen shot below. This is definitely unnatural. Each dot represents the epicentre of an earthquake over a week or less, showing up in Turkey, on the European Earthquake monitoring system in May 2011.

I use these sites for real time earthquake activity monitoring, “Latest Earthquakes in the World – Past 7 days”

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/

and “The European and Mediterranean Seismological Centre”

http://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake/Map/gmap.php

The first thing you find out when you use these facilities, is that they don’t show you all the worldwide earthquake activity on any of these sites. You need to be looking at both sites to get a better world view of earthquake activity.

To get to the main point, look at this youtube video below. This was put up on youtube on May 22, 2011. I don’t necessarily agree with all the views in this video. I am mainly interested in the earthquake grid pattern they discovered.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqOFHc7CRhE&feature=player_embedded

Then read this article at the Colin Andrew‘s site.

http://www.colinandrews.net/EarthquakeGridPattern-Colin_Andrews.html

The images at the Colin Andrew‘s frame grabs, are of the Canary Island swarm of earthquakes just before the Volcano El Hierro submarine volcano erupted recently. The screen shot was taken from the official European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre website on October 8, 2011.

I was at the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre website and viewed the Canary Island earthquake activity myself in real time, and found a similar, but smaller active grid pattern of earthquake activity on the northern ocean side of the island, on the 21th and 22th of November, around the El Hierro Volcano vent that is erupting below the sea.

Here is information about the Canary Island El Hierro Volcano eruption that started recently.

http://www.volcanodiscovery.com/volcano_news.html

This evidence would suggest that there are artificial earthquake experiments taking place for the creation, or control of earthquakes, or volcanoes in this case. You just do not get epicentres of earthquakes happening on perfect grid patterns, they are random. I have been looking at earthquakes for years and have never seen patterns of this type ever, until now.

So far, different observers have seen these earthquake grid patterns at different times. They have been small earthquakes in magnitude at present. They have also shown up in real time on the earthquake monitoring systems in different locations. The El Hierro grid pattern earthquakes I observed, all had the same depth of around 20Km and were approximately around the same magnitude of between 2.7 to 3. This is also very unnatural.

The earthquake activity at the Canary islands is a big deal because of the potential disaster it could create! If you look up HAARP or scalar technologies on the Internet, you will find lots of information and patents that have been granted for these types of technologies. A very quick summary on the theory of how these HAARP technologies work. They use powerful giga watt directed energy beams, generated from ground stations or satellites, and reflect this energy beam off plasma mirrors they have strategically created in the Earth‘s Ionosphere. This allows them to accurately focus that beam to different locations around the world to affect the weather, or create earthquakes. Lots of countries, including the major powers, have facilities to experiment with these technologies. These recent earthquake grid observations suggest that someone is refining their technology to be more focused, accurate, and effective.

Are these earthquake grid patterns proof someone is experimenting and refining this type of technology?

Update 19th April 2012,

I took these screen shots below of seismic activity in Turkey 18.04.2012.

No way this is natural, earthquake activity is random. These earthquake grids when they appear consist of lots of small earthquakes around 2 to 3 on the Richter scale all around the same depth. These small grid earthquake patterns can last for days.

They tend to try and hide this activity by clustering a lot of small earthquakes in a relativity small area. Unless you focus in on this cluster activity and magnify it, you would not notice it.

This activity has been quite for some time but I detected this yesterday on the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre ( http://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake/Map/gmap.php ) web site and took these screen shots.

http://sccc.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/capture_001_18042012_143310.jpg

http://sccc.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/capture_001_18042012_143521.jpg

These earthquake patterns can last for days in one place. Is it like pushing softly on the plate to see what will happen, or is it to try and relieve plate pressure?
Or is it “Look what we can do,” cooperate or else?
The other question is who is doing it?

Masses of Subliminal Deception Everywhere!

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)

Monday, October 31st, 2011

I think you will all be shocked at all the subliminal messages in modern media, even in what you consider to be safe children’s media! Thought it was illegal? Think again! Modern technology allows modern advertising agencies to created multi layered images in media that is very sophisticated. These layered images contain subliminal messages to sway your opinions, or to just get you to purchase something. Unless you are looking carefully for this content , you won’t even notice it!

The most common subliminal message is sex

To prove my point and get you interested in the subject, watch this six minute Youtube video titled. “Subliminal Messages Busted”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ng6hQfGzQig

If you go to youtube and type in “subliminal messages” in the search facility, you will find lots of other information on the subject. You will also be shocked to find lots of subliminal adverting hidden children’s movies, games, and products of well known family oriented brands, which you considered safe for your children, and grand children.

Understand clearly that everyone in modern society is being subject to this constant subliminal imagery from a very early age, so that their opinions and desires can be constantly influenced to create the outcomes desired by those using these technologies!

Subliminal message techniques are employed to influence and entice you to make decisions about what product to purchase, what candidate or political party to vote or not vote for , or even change your opinion on an important subject. This technology uses a very sophisticated knowledge on how the human mind works, plus the power of modern computer graphics techniques to embed lots of subconscious messages into imagery.

The video above was very quick introduction to the subject of subliminal advertising. Below is a link to a video which has leaked pages from a advertising training manual on subliminal advertising techniques. In the intro to the course the manual states that there is no refund for the course, as one third of those doing the course drop out because they become so discussed with the courses content. The ad manual explains the much more sophisticated multi layered image symbolism techniques used by advertisers, and why they are used. I think you will be shocked by its content!

Leaked Ad Training Documen part 2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?src_vid=TftkRHZ_KWM&annotation_id=annotation_782484&feature=iv&v=yp8YaLlJfXk

This particular Sharpie Self Expression Commercial 2011 has recently created a lot of controversy in America. Whether you believe in the ideas behind the “Occupy Wall Street ” protest in America or not, this commercial appears to have a completely different agenda to that of selling Sharpie, and a direct attempt to pacify the American populace. Look for the “Stop Protesting Now”, banner about 11 and 12 seconds into the ad. You can pause it there.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=feIlvjN6fIM

The average person in society is easy to influence. They are being constantly bombarded with large numbers of these loaded messages from birth to death, by digital and the print media. For more subliminal information across a broad range of subjects Subliminal Manipulation is a great site. (Link below) This site has been taken down a couple times, and the accounts closed , because they want to keep this information secret, and the site creator has had to create new sites. Back up the site on your computer if you want the information for future reference, or just to show the family how insidious this all is, if it goes down.

Nuclear Power Technology, an Extinction Level Event!

By Peter Daley · Comments (11)

Monday, August 29th, 2011

It’s not a meteor impact, large solar flare, or nuclear war that could cause an Extinction Level Event to humanity, but nuclear reactor meltdowns through, war, sabotage, human error, or natural disaster.

In my opinion at the present time, nuclear power technology has become the greatest danger to the survival of the human race. There are around 1,000 nuclear reactors in the world, 442 for generating electricity, 250 research reactors, and the rest are military. Fifty two are in Japan, a very earthquake active zone. There are plans to build another 50+ nuclear power reactors for generating electricity in India and China, in the next decade alone.

All we need is for a couple more nuclear plants to suffer similar disasters to Fukushima, and the world will become so contaminated with radiation that the human race will be wiped out. Before the Fukushima disaster, radiation pollution from nuclear reactors and depleted uranium munitions were already causing male sperm counts to drop dramatically, increased birth defects, and increases in cancer rates.

The corporate press are not conveying the true seriousness of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Look at what has happened at Fukushima, three reactors have melted down, melted through their containments into the reactor buildings dry wells, and are now melting their way out through the concrete containments and heading for the water table. This should be world wide news headlines! Have you heard this in the main stream press? NO! The human toll and the economic cost of the Fukushima nuclear disaster is going to be huge.

This is the China syndrome three times over. An unprecedented nuclear disaster that the Nuclear Industry said this could not happen, let alone happen three times. There should be a world wide multi nation effort to contain this disaster as quickly as possible. It does not just affect Japan, but all life on this planet.

It has got a whole lot worse. The Japanese Government has admitted they have 14 Nuclear reactors that had been seriously damaged, not just the 4 at the Fukushima Nuclear disaster site.

The press is so controlled by corporate interests that they will not tell you the truth, that we are now in the middle of the world’s greatest industrial accident, and that millions of men, women and children will die prematurely because of the effects of it. It is continually releasing huge amounts of radiation into the world environment. It is going to eventually affect everyone world wide. The whole northern hemisphere has been contaminated to some degree, and it will take another 6 months or so before the radiation starts to contaminate the southern hemisphere, as the northern and southern air streams mix. Even if a country is nuclear free it can be severely affected by the fallout of another country‘s nuclear disaster.

To make the situation clearer, watch this documentary video. People getting sick in Japan evacuate Fukushima There are approximately 300,000 Japanese men, women, and children who are still living in highly contaminated Fukushima city. They all should be evacuated!

Governments quietly raise the so called safe radiation levels when disasters like this occur. Want proof, watch this video “Becquerels” and Japan’s changing “safety” standards for radiation in food and water” and read this “EU secretly ups cesium safety level in food 20-fold” These are two clear examples of governments raising safe levels for radiation exposure by 20x to 30x. So when the radiation levels go up they will tell you they tested below safety levels!

It’s criminal how bad it is, a crime against humanity. There should be people in prison for this. All our governments are complicit in remaining quiet to protect the nuclear industry. Money and power rule instead of compassion, and concern for our fellow human beings. There is lots that could have been done to quickly evacuate people from known radiation hot spots in Japan. Radiation hot spots have been discovered way outside the present exclusion zone around the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Some of these radiation hots spots are hundreds of kilometers away from the Fukushima Nuclear plant. The authorities know where these hot spots are! They knew within days of the disaster. Lots of food sources are also now contaminated. Governments world wide should be testing our food for this. Instead of saying “Everything is fine, go back to watching your soaps, and sport.”

The documentary video above focuses on Fukushima city, but the radiation released from the Fukushima nuclear disaster has contaminated large areas of the Pacific Ocean, Japan, Alaska, Hawaii, and particularly the west coast of Canada, northern west Mexico, and the west coast of the USA. The fallout caesium-137 map below covers estimations up to early June 2011. Caesium-137 has a half life of 30 years. This map does not include all the other many types of radioactive isotopes in this type of radiative fallout. The map was created by French CEREA: Atmospheric dispersion of radionuclides from the Fukushima-Daichii nuclear power plant, :

The Global cooperative site provides a very detailed view of the true radiation fallout from Fukushima in the first months of the disaster. http://globalcooperative.wordpress.com/2011/05/18/radiation-map-analysis-europe-australasia/

Because of the continual release of radiation from the crippled nuclear reactors at Fukushima these areas are continually being re-contaminated with higher doses of radiation. This is not going to stop any time soon! It is like layers of radioactive paint continually being added to the environment. There have already been independent medical reports of 35% spike in infant mortality in the North Western USA, and 48% in Philadelphia. A per review study released at the end of 2011 found that in the first 14 weeks of the disaster an estimated 14,000 people, mainly under one year olds, died as a direct result of the Fukushima radiation fallout that fell over the USA! (This has since been upgraded to 22,000). There appear to be large numbers of people being admitted to Japanese hospitals for radiation sickness. Again not reported in the main stream press.

Independent radiation testing in Tokyo has found up to ten hot radioactive particles per day being breathed in by its inhabitants, and up to 5 hot particles a day in Seattle in the USA. People living in Japan, Alaska, Canada and the USA should be educated as to what to do to help protect themselves and their families from the fallout presently affecting them. Rather than these people being provided truthful information so they could act to protect themselves, Governments have chosen to hide the truth to protect the nuclear industry. I have a friend in Australia who has a Geiger counter and recently he purchased four music CDs from Japan. Three tested OK but one had elevated radiation levels of 0.35 uSv/hr in the packaging. Three CDS where old stock, one was a new release. This means there were dangerous radiative particles on the CD packaging. Breathing in hot particles is serious danger to human health. Hot radioactive particles can continually radiate tissues with high radiation if ingested.

The new tents that they are building to cover the damaged Fukushima reactors will not stop the continual release of amounts of radiation. Stories in the corporate press will try and make out this is progress in containment, it will not be. It will just distribute the radiation to other locations through the exhaust stacks. It will just make the Fukushima reactor site safer for the workers trying to fix this mess.

The amount of radiation released from the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster has far exceeded what was released by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and it does not look like being stopped any time soon. As I understand it at present, they pump 50 tons of water onto the molten blobs, wait until this evaporates as radioactive stream, and then pump on another 50 tons of water. They are hanging on by their fingernails trying to contain these monsters!

Chernobyl needs another billion dollar concrete and steel sarcophagus to contain the radiation from this 25 year old nuclear disaster. Plastic tents are being built to cover the Fukushima reactors. What a joke! Funding for the new necessary Chernobyl sarcophagus is not forth coming, so over hundreds of years who will fund future containments? Add to this the Fukushima nuclear disaster, and you are going to have large areas of uninhabitable dead zones in the Ukraine and Japan for centuries to come.

Anyone looking at this situation with some intelligence would be saying we need to start a world wide program to shut down nuclear reactors, and stop using depleted uranium munitions. There is so much money and power tied up in the nuclear industry that the interest of the majority and life on this planet is coming second. This is madness! Nuclear power is not cheap it comes at a terrible price.

Hacking, the good, the bad and the ugly

By Peter Daley · Comments (1)

Sunday, July 31st, 2011

by Peter Daley

Hacking as an activity is now wide spread and International, as our society has become more and more dependent on everything being controlled by computers. Hacking has become a much more influential activity for the good, the bad and the ugly in our society.

I know the media constantly portrays hacking as an evil activity, but I quote from Wikipedia here, a hacker is by definition, “A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and stretching their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum necessary.”

Our world wide infrastructure is so tied to computers that hacking can now be used as powerful tool for intelligence, construction or destruction of our industrial or communications infrastructure. Western countries complain about the Chinese, or the Russians hacking their systems. The West have their ownspecial unites dedicated to hacking Russian, and Chinese systems. They’re all just as bad as each other, they are all constantly trying to break into each others sensitive systems. World wide, given an opportunity, any country will use hackers to gain an advantage, commercially, politically, or militarially. Corporations are constantly using hacking to improve their commercial advantage. The News of the World mobile phone hacking scandal is a good example of this. (Read my blog on mobile phone hacking here, http://sccc.org.au/archives/1602)

Hackers have been trying to find ways to break chip based industrial control systems for years. It ended up that the West and Israel secret services handed them the information they needed to do this on a platter. Thisstory would make a best seller, or a great movie. The West and Israelis wanted to stop the Iranian nuclear program, or at least slow it down. They went to the big industrial chip makers and got what was secret or proprietary back door information to control industrial chips. In this case, the industrial centrifuges that where being used by the Iranians to concentrate uranium for their nuclear programs. They then went away and developed a very effective virus called Stuxnet. It was released into the Iranian enrichment plant control systems and it did what is was designed to do, it destroyed large numbers of theIranian centrifuges.

They were very pleased with themselves, and gave themselves a pat on the back. Job well done they thought. Except that now they hadopened Pandora’s box and provided what hackers have wanted for years, back door industrial chip information to enable them to make viruses, and Trojans to control, disrupt, or destroy industrial control systems. By back engineering the Stuxnet virus which now is in the wild, thanks to the West and the Israelis, any government, criminal group, corporation, or hacker with some skill can create their own variation on Stuxnet.

This means that previous viruses will look like child’s play. This technology can potentially be used to shut down power plants (nuclear, coal or hydro), electricity grids, water supply systems. Also,industrial plants or anything using industrially control chips can be a targeted. There have already been instances where Stuxnet variations may have been used to shut down, or disrupt Nuclear power plants and other industrial systems in a number of countries. No one is admitting that Stuxnet or a variation may have been the cause of these mysterious shut downs, or disruptionsto Nuclear power plantsin the USA, or Japan recently.

Well there you have it, and we are consider ourselves to be Intelligent. We’re like children playing with fire.

Now we have hacker groups that are saying they are using their skills for the benefit of humanity by standing up to what they consider to be corporate imperialism. A splinter group of hacker group “Anonymous” have now focused on multinational Corporate food giant Monsanto.

Below is a text transcript of a video message they posted on the Internet.

——————————————————————————-

To the free-thinking citizens of the world:

Anonymous stands with the farmers and food organizations denouncing the practices of Monsanto We applaud the bravery of the organizations and citizens who are standing up to Monsanto, and we stand united with you against this oppressive corporate abuse. Monsanto is contaminating the world with chemicals and genetically modified food crops for profit while claiming to feed the hungry and protect the environment. Anonymous is everyone, anyone who can not stand injustice and decides to do something about it. We are all over the Earth and here to stay.

To Monsanto, we demand you STOP the following:

- Contaminating the global food chain with GMO’s.
- Intimidating small farmers with bullying and lawsuits.
- Propagating the use of destructive pesticides and herbicides across the globe.
- Using “Terminator Technology”, which renders plants sterile.
- Attempting to hijack UN climate change negotiations for your own fiscal benefit.
- Reducing farmland to desert through monoculture and the use of synthetic fertilizers.
- Inspiring suicides of hundreds of thousands of Indian farmers.
- Causing birth defects by continuing to produce the pesticide “Round-up”
- Attempting to bribe foreign officials
- Infiltrating anti-GMO groups

Monsanto, these crimes will not go unpunished. Anonymous will not spare you nor anyone in support of your oppressive illegal business practices.

AGRA, a great example: In 2006, AGRA, Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa, was established with funding from Bill Gates and The Rockefeller Foundation.

Among the other founding members of, AGRA, we find: Monsanto, Novartis, Sanofi-Aventis, GlaxoSmithKline, Procter and Gamble, Merck, Mosaic, Pfizer, Sumitomo Chemical and Yara. The fact that these corporations are either chemical or pharmaceutical manufacturers is no coincidence.

The people of the world see you, Monsanto. Anonymous sees you.

Seeds of Opportunism, Climate change offers these businesses a perfect excuse to prey on the poorest countries by swooping in to “rescue” the farmers and people with their GMO crops and chemical pesticides. These corporations eradicate the traditional ways of the country’s agriculture for the sake of enormous profits.

The introduction of GMOs drastically affects a local farmers income, as the price of chemicals required for GMOs and seeds from Monsanto cripples the farmer’s meagre profit margins.

There are even many cases of Monsanto suing small farmers after pollen from their GMO crops accidentally cross with the farmer’s crops. Because Monsanto has a patent on their brand of seed, they claim the farmer is in violation of patent laws.

These disgusting and inhumane practices will not be tolerated. Anonymous urges all concerned citizens to stand up for these farmers, stand up for the future of your own food. Protest, organize, spread info to your friends!

Say no to poisons chemicals in your food.
So no to GMO!

Say no to Monsanto!

Investor Beware

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)

Tuesday, November 30th, 2010

Financial systems have changed dramatically with the advent of computer technology. It has allowed ease of access to your banking, and investment information. We now have the ability to deposit, and transfer funds instantly, and electronically.

Unfortunately, it has also allowed a lot of growth in corruption at high speed!

High speed trading, using super computers provides the big players with the ability to manipulate the market easily . Market volume can appear to be high where in fact it can just be an enormous number of trades for small amounts of money. The use of super computers and sophisticated software has given the big banks, and investment houses great power. By using super high speed computation, and analyst of financial information they can influence the price of stocks, and shares at will.

In my opinion it has become a very uneven playing field for the small investor. It also appears that by the use of power, and money these large banking, and investment organization have been influencing politicians to remove a lot of the institutional checks, and balances that where put in place to protect everyone.

Have a look at this 60 Minutes program to get a lot of good information on what you are up against if you are a small investor.

How Speed Traders Are Changing Wall Street – 60 Minutes – CBS News

Another import issue that I have been seeing in stock, shares and commodities markets is more and more use of virtual products. The gold market is a case in point. Gold is commanding large amounts of money at present ,and investors are purchasing gold in large volume all over the world. The trouble is that the volume of gold that is being traded at present is 45 times more gold than is psychically available.

That means that if every one who purchased gold wanted their bars at once, only one in 45 could possibly get the purchased gold! Now the informative link below clearly defines what most people are actually purchasing is paper gold.

Here is a definition on Paper Gold from site https://www.igolder.com/glossary/paper-gold/

How can we have a system base on this virtual gold, and not the real thing?

How is this allowed to happen?

In my opinion lot of people are going to get burned if, and when the music stops.

If that is not bad enough here you have reports of a lot of fake gold bars in the system.

The only way I can see that this has been bought about is by our government officials, and politicians changing the legislation, and rules to suit those who run these markets. The politicians and government officials must have great retirement funds.

Mortgage Gate is another example on the creative use of computer technology by the corrupt. It has been used to manipulate the financial system, and create financial havoc worldwide. If you wonder why your retirement funds, and superannuation have gone backwards here are some more examples of the creative use of computer technology to create mass fraud of epic proportions. Sell something ten or more times to different organization, and class it as an AAA investment.

and here

http://www.zerohedge.com 21 Oct 2010 … The mortgage gate crisis and the coming wave of “Mulligan Mortgages”. … If you are suddenly being offered a new mortgage by your bank.

Computer technology has changed the way financial systems work, a lot of what is being offered for sale as an investment, or commodity is no longer real but a fictitious virtual item of no real value. So I would suggest that if you are investing in anything, you make sure you are really purchasing something of real value. A lot of this information is not provided by the main stream media, so you need to do your own research on your subject of interest.

How to get big savings on your electricity bill!

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

by Peter Daley

The cost of electricity is going up world wide, so get smart and save yourself heaps of money.

If they follow through with these suggestions, businesses, and families can potentially save a mint off their yearly electricity bill. The hot water system is the equivalent of a small family car sitting in the garage with the motor idling. It is producing huge amounts of CO² and costing lots of money to run.

OK, turning your air conditioner to a slightly warmer temperature, plus turning off appliances, computers, lights and gadgets, at the wall when not in use can save you lots of money. An item often overlooked for significant savings is the hot water system.

Independent of politics, environment issues, or the fact you may not accept global warming as being caused by CO² emissions, setting your hot water system to work efficiently can save you a lot of money per year. If you have concerns about the effects we’re having on the environment, this is a huge bonus, as it will significantly cut down on your CO² emissions footprint!

Firstly check on your electricity bill to see whether your hot water system is on an off peak tariff. If in doubt call your electricity company, and ask what tariff your hot water system is on. Electricity companies will give you big discounts if you have your hot water on an off peak switch. This means your hot water system is turned on, and off remotely, when their generation load is less. This will be shown on your present electricity bill.

For domestic use in Australia the cheapest tariff for this purpose is referred to as tariff 31, the next best is tariff 33. Businesses check with your supplier as to what is the cheapest tariff for your purposes. If your hot water system isn’t on the off peak tariff, it will be well worth getting an off peak switch installed in the meter box. Getting yourself onto the cheaper tariff can potentially take 30% to 50% of your electricity bill! It will probably cost around A$150 to get one of these switches installed in your meter box by a qualified electrician, for a domestic use. Small price to pay, compared to the over all cost of your ongoing electricity bill.

Here is a list of the pricing for the different tariffs. Just look at the large savings that can be made. It does very in price from state to state and supplier. Tariff 11: 14.04 cents per Kwh. This is the normal domestic tariff for lighting and general power use. If your hot water is operating on this tariff you’re paying heaps more for your electricity than you should.

Tariff 33: 8.44 cents per Kwh. Next best money saving tariff.

Tariff 31: 5.73 cents per Kwh. Best money saving tariff. (Prices as of August 2007)

If your hot water system is not on the cheapest tariff you will have your hot water system wasting lots of electricity, generating lots of CO² , and affecting your hip pocket for absolutely no reason. OK, leave it on the expensive tariff if you like making a donation to the electricity company.

Now go and have a look at you hot water system. If it is electric you will find a valve for topping up the hot water reserve inside the system. This is usually a pull up lever or tap. Switch on the valve and wait until you hear the water flow out through the overflow. This indicates the system is full. Now turn off the top up valve. This will make maximum use of the electricity that is used to heat the water. You should top up the hot water system regularly to get maximum efficiency from your hot water system.

Get and electrician to see if your hot water system can safely be turned down to a medium or low temperature setting on its thermostat. Most hot water systems are set to high on instillation, and large percentage of you could easily get away with a medium or low thermostat temperature setting. It can always be turned back if you don’t like it. Doing this can potentially half your electricity bill. Even Solar hot water systems have a small hot water booster system connected to the mains power so you can get hot water on cloudy days. This also has a thermostat that can be also adjusted.

(Warning: If you set your hot water system to too low a temperature it can encourage the growth of dangerous bacteria, so consult your electrician about the best setting for your particular environment.)

For those of you who want to take it a bit further you can also get more savings by using special insulation blankets that you can purchase to cover the hot water system that can improve its efficiency, plus you can insulated the hot water pipes.

Tell your friends and relatives to check this out so they can save as well. If you have any uncertainty about how to implement any of the suggestions here please consult your electrician.
