It Is The Season

The time has come that we the people in order to secure a more perfect union take a good, long look at America’s socio-economic collapse with the emergence of the new global world order of man made laws. This event in America is marked by the administrations uncontested Health and Human Services mandate, that requires us to abandon the laws of the Creator and his 10 Commandments, so that it may bring to pass a democratic form of communist dictatorships.

Under this system that has spread through out the world, all electoral candidates must conform to the new law and subsequent reordering of society to the service of an administrative bureaucracy.

This is increasingly subventing the sovereign laws of our creator that santify and protect marriage and the devine personhood of every citizen created at the moment of conception.

Without the 14th amendment of the constitution restored to the courts of our beloved country we will be treated more like animals ready for slaughter rather than heirs of eternal happiness in Jesus and Mary.

God the father told the Prophet Isaiah: “My people die for lack of knowledge.” Unfortunately so many of ignore the Constitution and the 10 Commandments because we have not seen the horrifying act of a child’s abortion. All are created equal irregardless of temporal circumstances. Let us look beyond the deceptions.

May God Bless America.

Fukushima Disables Supercarrier

A carapace of censorship has slammed down on all information about two of the biggest headline events in years: the melted-down nuclear reactors in Fukushima, and the nuclear-powered carrier USS Ronald Reagan facing the all-too-real possibility of becoming a deserted ghost galleon.

Three years ago, to the month, a record 9.0 quake shook Nippon to its knees killing an unknown number. On the heels of the monster temblor came a historic tsunami that took the lives of 40,000 and turned 300,000 into refugees. Then came a third disaster. This one worse than the preceding two combined.

The tsunami short-circuited the water pumps in Fukushima's nuclear reactors. Without water three reactors overheated, melted through their 6-inch thick steel containment vessels, through the concrete floor of the reactors buildings, and down into the soil.

Groundwater from the surrounding hills coursed through and under the devastated reactors existing as highly radioactive runoff pouring into the Pacific Ocean.

Tokyo Electric Power Company's (TEPCO) three-year effort to stop the 400-ton daily flow has been eminently unsuccessful. Its latest effort is a Rube Goldberg contraption. TEPCO plans to surround the reactors in a subsurface wall of ice. Hundreds of boreholes will be drilled 100-feet down to bedrock. Then coolant will be pumped in to freeze the circumferential soil and water.

The project will take three years and no one knows if it will work. If it does, can it possibly be maintained for the estimated cleanup time of forty years? The glacial wall is a measure of TEPCO's desperation. It is also a tacit admission that Fukushima remains out of control.

As Fukushima continues to pollute the ocean, it also befouls the air. Four explosions and three melt-downs blew tons of scalding steam and debris into the upper atmosphere. Had the wind been blowing north, the southern half of Japan would have been rendered uninhabitable.

But like the Kamikaze (Divine Wind) that saved Japan from the invading Mongol fleet in the 13th century, another Kamikaze in the 21st century blew the death-dealing cloud east across the Pacific saving Japan from slow annihilation.

However, Japan's good fortune was our misfortune. At that very moment the U.S. Seventh Fleet led by the USS Ronald Reagan was headed west to aid Japan and sailed head-on into a radioactive smog bank full of dust and debris.

The Reagan got within two miles of Fukushima when it was enveloped in the poisonous smog and coated with radioactive snow. Sailors on the flight deck were similarly exposed and inhaled carcinogenic aerosols.

The 5,700-man crew was told not to drink the desalinated seawater. However, they were not advised what else to drink, cook with, or wash in.

The Reagan immediately turned away from Fukushima playing dodge-ball with the hot plume. But even at a distance of 100 miles, radiation measured 30 times the normal background level.

At least 100 of the ship's crew have manifested the classical symptoms of radiological poisoning: metallic taste in mouth, loss of hair, vomiting blood, various types of cancer, even lost of eyesight and partial paralysis. One sailor who was pregnant during the humanitarian mission gave birth to a child with multiple deformities.

The Reagan was so radioactive that it was refused entry into three ports. Reportedly, it took two months before she was finally moored at San Diego (not yet confirmed).

The reasons for Japan's and TEPCO's whitewashing are straightforward. If the severity of her problems become more fully known, Tokyo might lose her position as host for the 2020 Summer Olympics. More serious, if her exports were refused because of contamination, Japan would not have enough foreign exchange to purchase fossil fuel.

The causes for the United States' and the Navy's stonewalling are equally obvious. What about the 45 ships in the Pacific fleet and its company of 20,000 sailors and Marines? Is the Seventh Fleet still patrolling the Pacific or has it been withdrawn? Plainly, it is not in the interest of the U.S. to publicize these chinks in our armor.

And the USS Ronald Reagan? Crew traffic and the ship's ventilation system contaminated the interior of the vessel as much as the exterior. Operation Crossroads showed that after extensive exposure some ships cannot be decontaminated and the Reagan was covered with radioactive mist, snow, and particulates. She may spend the rest of her days as a $6.2 billion derelict rusting away in obscurity.
