Calling me hysterical and a communist is a personal attack. And against FR rules. Shame on you.

Hardly anybody on FR listened to me when I warned about the housing bubble back in 2004 to 2008, either. Or when I warned about mortgage fraud conducted by major banks. Or when I warned about the stock market bubble. Or warned about the banking crisis. Or warned about Wall Street Bankers profiteering on the crisis and warned that our government has been taken over by bankers. Look what happened and is still unfolding today like a slow motion train wreck.

But all my predictions came true 100% . . . Where I found that information about 200 tone of water:

Look to my previous post and hit the link that says: "Newly Released TEPCO Data Provides Evidence of Periodic Chain Reaction at Fukushima Unit". An old report that I posted on FR last week discusses the pure, objective truth in scientific detail.

The opinion of an experienced nuclear engineer is far more believable and holds far more weight than your own opinion.

Your tactic of casting aspersions and calling the engineering source of information pathetic names -- reveals fatally flawed reasoning. And very bad debate tactics. And a closed mind. And rampant use of "post hoc ergo propter hoc" logical fallacies. In short, your arguments are imperceptive at best, fatally flawed and totally unfounded.

I have never visited Huffington Post in my life. But you obviously do visit the site quite often. I would not even know how to do a topic search on HP. Guess that makes your politics far more suspect than mine.

LOL LOL !

I didn't call you hysterical or a communist. I said the title on the youtube video you posted was hysterical, and was the type of thing that causes hysteria. And I said that blaming the elite was something you could find on communist sites.

Hardly anybody on FR listened to me when I warned about the housing bubble back in 2004 to 2008, either

What was there to warn about in 2004? I owned a house then, and I own a house now, and it is worth about as much now as it was then. Yes, there was a housing bubble, and looking back we can point to when it happened. But what was your warning in 2004? Did you tell people to sell their houses? Or did you tell people to buy more houses, because there would be 4 more years of housing bubble price increases before it burst?

Or when I warned about the stock market bubble.

I've been warned of 20 of the last 3 stock market bubbles. The market is still 2000 points below it's all-time high, which sure looked like a bubble; of course, so did the recent rise to 12,300 which then dropped to 11,500 or so and went back up to 12,288. You didn't tell people to sell when the market went below 7000, right? Did you tell us to buy back the stock we were supposed to sell, so we could make close to a 100% return over a year or so?

I've clicked most of the links given by most people in these threads. So far, most of them have been like your you-tube video, posts with hysterical titles by people of old information pretending that it was "breaking news". You still haven't acknowledged that I was right that your ABC video was from 2 weeks ago -- did you even WATCH the video, which clearly identified the time period as "two weeks after the earthquake?" because I watched the entire video that you posted the link to, so I could give you an INFORMED response. And you attacked me for my response with the meaningless fact that someone posted it on youtube on april 4, as if that proved I was wrong.

Aren't you the one who just posted a picture of "sheeple", implying that those who don't agree with you are mindless sheep being led around by government? DOes it seem hypocritical to you to complain about me comparing your rhetoric to communist rhetoric when you just called me a barnyard animal?

I will try to dig up the link you claim exists from your own previous posts -- why you couldn't just provide the link I don't know, but if it's there, I might find it. In the meantime, I can find no report from a credible source to back up your claim that there is water directly leaking from a reactor core that they are pumping water into. The slides I've seen on the operations indicate that the injected water is mostly being processed by the condensors.

The opinion of an experienced nuclear engineer is far more believable and holds far more weight than your own opinion.

Wasn't Jimmy Carter a nuclear engineer? I agree that a person who works in the industry is a good source of information; unless they are paid to shut down nuclear power plants for the environmental left. Then I have to wonder about whether their desire for money clouds their judgement.

Didn't you predict 750 RADs on the US West Coast, 6 days after the accident? That would be around March 18th. Did that one come true?

YOU are so right about your history about the housing crisis.

You warned and were mocked by lots of freepers, and I don’t remember one of them EVER apologizing to you.

You are a credit to this forum. And all of your predictions DID come true.

Thank you for all you do, ex-texan.

May God Bless you.

The Cesium Deception: Why Mainstream Media is Mostly Reporting Iodine Levels, Not Radioactive Cesium

Excerpt:

Virtually all the numbers you're seeing about the radioactivity coming out of Fukushima are based on iodine-131 which only has a half-life of 8 days, not the far more dangerous cesium-137 which has a half-life of 30 years. So while the mainstream media reports that "radiation levels are falling rapidly" from the 7.5 million times reading taken a few days ago, what they're not telling you is that the cesium-137 radioactivity will take 30 years just to fall by 50 percent.

It's the great global cover-up in all this: What happens to all the radioactive cesium being dumped into the ocean right now? It doesn't just burn itself out in a few months like iodine-131. This stuff sticks around for centuries. * * *

Radiation levels in West Los Angeles before Fukushima averaged about 15 or less. Today counts may escalate to over 65 at any give time and are averaging about 46. Clearly that is an increase of about 30 points in less than thirty days.

Used to maintain sensitive gamma ray scintillation detectors. Normal background would run approximately 13 to 15 counts per second. A regular old cinder block used in walls could kick the counts per second up to 45 to 60 counts per second if the detector was placed against the wall. Very, very far from dangerous.
Will admit the the CPS going from 15 to 45 is interesting and that something is there, but it's not dangerous............yet.
If normal background rose to 300 to 400 CPS and stayed, would start being concerned.

If cesium-137 is more dangerous than iodine-131, uranium-238 must be really bad, with a half-life of 4.47 billion years! LOL!

More from the same silly source.

Even if the FDA could magically test all the food being imported from Japan, what allowable level of radiation would the FDA claim was "safe" in those foods anyway? Remember, this is the agency that has long supported the mass irradiation of the U.S. food supply as a way to kill e.coli and salmonella.

Irradiation would be an excellent way to kill e.coli and salmonella. Unless you think irradiation makes food radioactive. LOL!

Based purely on activity as "dangerous", the shorter-lived stuff is actually more "dangerous", since the disintegrations per second varies inversely with half-life. So the iodine, for a given number of unstable nuclei, emits more particles than the 137Cs. So while you have to deal with higher activity, it doesn't last very long.

Where have we heard this "100-Year Battle" stuff before? Seems I recall that the Kuwait oil fields were going to burn for 100 years after Saddam blew them up after the first Gulf War. They were back in business within a year, fires all out. Just recently, the disaster pornographers were all over the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. That was supposed to be an "Extinction-Level Event", and would take decades and decades to recover from. Last I heard, the Gulf was still there, marine life is abundant, and somehow nature was muddling through somehow. Somehow, the disaster mongers always fear the worst, and when proved wrong by events, shrug their shoulders and say, well, we were lucky this time, but we won't be so lucky the next time. I say, FU on them.

Absolutely. Don't tell the doomers, you'll ruin their buzz.

The OP predicted 750 RADs on the West Coast of the US within a week of the disaster. He still hasn't (that I've seen) taken back that silly claim.

Somehow, the disaster mongers always fear the worst, and when proved wrong by events, shrug their shoulders and say, well, we were lucky this time,

Exactly. Some people aren't happy unless disaster is at hand. They want us all to be brought down to their level.

Japan to Pump Radioactive Water Into Sea Until Sunday !

Excerpt:

Japan will pump radioactive water into the sea from a crippled nuclear plant until Sunday, a day later than previously planned, its nuclear safety agency said.

The announcement came a day after China expressed concern at the discharge of contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi plant smashed by last month's earthquake, reflecting growing international unease over the month-long nuclear crisis. * * *

* * * TEPCO is struggling to contain the worst atomic crisis since Chernobyl. Engineers say they are far from in control of the damaged reactors and it could take months to stabilise them and years to clear up the toxic mess left behind . . .

Japan Nuclear Radiation 4 Times Chernobyl Levels OUTSIDE Evacuation Zone !

Excerpt:

Independent scientists find radiation levels beyond Japan evacuation zone are 4 times higher than Chernobyl levels beyond the 30km evacuation zone and higher than official government reported numbers.

The Japanese New Service Asashi reports that radiation levels measured by a collaboration of independent scientists from Kyoto University and Hiroshima university refute the official radiation levels released by the Government of Japan.

Radiation levels 400 times normal are expected to remain in communities beyond the 30km evacuation zone.

The scientists pointed out the official Government radiation levels included only two types of radioactive isotopes. Scientists from the university say they have detected 6 radioactive isotopes and have provided new estimates with showing higher levels of radiation being released based on the inclusion of the additional isotopes detected. * * *

Radiation Detected In Drinking Water In 13 More US Cities, Cesium-137 In Vermont Milk

Excerpt:

* * * Milk samples from Phoenix and Los Angeles contained iodine-131 at levels roughly equal to the maximum contaminant level permitted by EPA, the data shows. The Phoenix sample contained 3.2 picoCuries per liter of iodine-131. The Los Angeles sample contained 2.9. The EPA maximum contaminant level is 3.0, but this is a conservative standard designed to minimize exposure over a lifetime, so EPA does not consider these levels to pose a health threat.

The cesium-137 found in milk in Vermont is the first cesium detected in milk since the Fukushima-Daichi nuclear accident occurred last month. The sample contained 1.9 picoCuries per liter of cesium-137, which falls under the same 3.0 standard * * *
