INTERVIEWS:

• Dennis Riches, Tokyo resident and blogger at Nuclear Free by 2045 (nf2045.blogspot.com), on the psychology of nuclear self-deception, post-Fukushima life in Japan, and why he didn't return to Canada with his wife and kids after the disaster began.
• Michael Leonardi of Toledo Coalition for Safe Energy and the Coalition Against Nukes, on his experiences both before and after testifying against the Ontario Public Power's proposed nuclear waste dump less than one mile from Lake Huron.  How safe from nuclear radiation would that make this 21% of the Earth's fresh drinking water?  Listen and learn.

PLUS:

• FDA "decision" to test or even ban foods from Japan is non-binding and essentially meaningless (SMOKE AND MIRRORS ALERT!);
• North Carolina Utilities Commission gives Duke Energy permission to continue to gouge ratepayers for its nuclear debacles w/a 5% rate hike and guaranteed 10.2% profits;
• Sweden's Oskarshamn-3 reactor, located 211 miles south of Stockholm, shut down by raging jellyfish activists:

• More cracks found in Davis-Besse containment vessel but the NRC thinks that's just safe as safe can be!;
• Nosebleed epidemic in Japan w/over 5,000 tweets in two days;
• 70% of kids in Kanto region, south of Fukushima, have cesium in their urine;
• 2011 increase in Japanese birth defects documented - more than 100 babies w/polydactyly - extra fingers or toes - waiting for operations:

POLYDACTYLY - A mutation in Japanese babies so common, one set of parents told to wait to schedule operation "for a year or two" because 100 others already waiting.[/caption]

• Michio Kaku labels TEPCO the equivalent of the Three Stooges:
  - Wo wo wo wo wo...!

Radiation Protection Tip:  Green Tea

INTERVIEW:  Special feature interview with Joseph Mangano of Radiation and Public Health Project (www.radiation.org) on how the International Atomic Energy Agency's straitjacketed and muzzled "epidemiology" makes it impossible for the World Health Organization to ever present honest information on the dangers of nuclear radiation.  Based on an analysis of the IAEA's fatally flawed "science" by the late Dr. Rosalie Bertell.  Infuriating, jaw-dropping -- and the underlying reason why the nuclear-industrial complex continues to get away with putting the future of all planetary life at risk. 

PLUS:

• Activists rise up against NRC waste "confidence," proposed nuclear waste dump on Lake Huron, and the EPA's dramatically weakened radiation guides - the New (Gina) McCarthyism?
• Japanese PM Shinzo Abe-Baby has ongoing "Mission Accomplished" complications from his "The situation is under control!" claims to the International Olympic Committee;

Japanese PM Shinzo "Pinnochio" Abe-Baby waxes poetic on how the leaks at Fukushima are "under control."

• And isn't it odd that Russia, China and Korea are doing a better job of protecting their citizens than the US?
