Tea Party Popularity Drops

Like the age old story of everything that waxes and wanes...so too the Tea Party has joined the ranks of all that have gone before, that have fallen from Grace. Am I being too Dramatic?...Maybe... The bottom line is that there  is a lot of Buyer's Remorse going on here. The question on everyone's lips is...Why? Why has the party fallen from the good Graces of all who have left...and in this case that is a considerable amount...and increasing.


The answer is as palin...er... plain as Day...One can see Russia from her house...One wasn't a witch...One is Batshit crazy...one sees Headless Corpses...one is intent on Dismantling the Unions and he refuses to hear anything about Collective Bargaining... and that is just the A List...there are many more... All of them are intent on giving Bigger and Bigger breaks to the Super Wealthy Two percent and the Multi Billion Dollar Corporations while the real Tea Party Faithful get swept away in stupid laws that are meant to squeeze the last droplet of Blood from them and leave them in the throws of poverty for Generations to come... keeping them slaves to the system of the Rich getting Richer while the Middle Class is systematically eliminated.


The Tea Party faithful got what they wished for... they won the seats they wanted in the last election and they got the promises made to them. They did not realize those same promises would also make them feel the bitter slice...or should I say stab... of dismay and treachery that they thought would have visited only the "other side"...the Democrats and their faithful.


There are now thousands of ex Tea Partiers being foreclosed on...being let go from Companies who are taking Jobs to foreign Countries, their Social programs, Education programs and everything they depend on to live a decent life are being taken away in Draconian "Cuts" that minutely reduce the Deficit...all because the Republicans are sabotaging everything the President is doing to try to bring us out of this recession. The Frum Forum gives a good account of the falling numbers, and I am sure there is more to come soon...as their Dwindling numbers at the Tea Party Rally on Thursday March 31st in Washington showed.

Radiation...Deaths New Fancy...

The average dosage of Radiation we humans are exposed to each year is about 620 millirems or mrems. This is an average accumulation from ordinary daily sources. Many of us have additional exposure outside of the ordinary, including x-rays of all types, Cat scans, regular Airplane flights or exceptionally long flights of hours or more, in the case of Flight personnel.
This is a link to an interactive Radioactivity chart... here ... you can use it to average your own Radiation exposure.


I start this article with the above information so you will have an idea of where we are with the catastrophe in Japan and the resulting fallout. This one is of course following my recent article on the Disaster and the possibilities which we can expect to see in the future, from a multitude of possible sources, be it Earthquakes or Terrorism or just plain accidental stupidity...as happened with the Three Mile Island's disaster years ago.
I highlighted the arrival of Radiated particles on the West Coast last week, fully expecting the Radiation to spread to other parts of the US...it is happening right now, in various places around the Country...


This is from CNN... "Sampling from a monitor in Colorado -- part of a national network of stations on the lookout for radioactivity -- detected miniscule amounts of iodine-131, a radioactive form of iodine, the state's public health and environmental department said Wednesday in a press release. On the same day in Portland, Oregon, tiny quantities of iodine-131 were also detected by an Environmental Protection Agency air monitor, Oregon public health officials said. 


Washington and California previously reported low levels of radioactive isotopes that likely came from Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, which has been releasing radioactive particles into the air since its cooling and other systems were damaged by a 9.0-magnitude earthquake and massive tsunami on March 11. " Read full story here... 


This is from Mercury News..." RENO, Nev.—Minuscule amounts of radiation from Japan's damaged nuclear plant have reached Las Vegas, but scientists say it poses no health risk.

Ted Hartwell of the Desert Research Institute's Community Environmental Monitoring Program says extremely small amounts of the radioactive isotopes iodine-131 and zenon-133 had reached a Las Vegas monitoring station this week." Read the full story here... 

Many people are unaware of why Radiation showing up elsewhere is important but as this article shows, the result could be foods and agriculture that become contaminated and poisonous to Humans, it also brings an unwanted financial impact... here

There is a really horrible impact that is yet unrealized by the public, to the Ocean and the wildlife living within, unfortunately we will definitely hear about this and the impact it has on the food chain quite soon I think. This from MSNBC... "TEPCO said radiation had been found in the waters of the Pacific nearby, perhaps not surprising given crews have been dousing the reactors with seawater ever since the accident. Radioactive iodine in the sea samples was 126.7 times the allowed limit, while cesium was 24.8 times over, Kyodo news agency said. That still posed no immediate danger, TEPCO said." full story here. 

Another concern I have is the fact that the contamination will spread as the medium is after all water, and unlike a lake, it is a moving environment, through which the radiated particles will be carried to the many corners of the Earth, having a detrimental impact on all Ocean inhabitants and eventually our food chain.

Unfortunately this is still the beginning of the Catastrophe and there will be a lot more bad news...if there is ever any good news to come from this.  This is a map of the Radiation in Japan... here...and this will change and get worse as we go along.

911 Was Child's Play??

Traces of Radiation too small to kill an Ant was detected yesterday, Thursday March 17th, at a California Monitoring station. It is said to have come from the damaged Nuclear Reactors in Japan. While the low level Radiation itself is of little concern, I can't help but take a more cautious view of the facts. It took less than five days for the Radioactive material to be carried on the winds, from its source to the shores of the West Coast.


The worst Nuclear accident in history thus far is of course Chernobyl. The interesting thing in that incident, worth observation is the fact that there was a large enough explosion to send microscopic Radioactive material so high into the upper atmosphere that it was able to be spread over a wide area by the fierce winds... and kill between 4000 and up to an estimated one million people. I mention this because even without reaching the upper atmosphere the Japanese Reactor material was still able to reach the American West Coast in a minimum amount of days... which makes me wonder...


What if  Osama Bin Laden or his Henchmen decided to fill with Radioactive material and charter... an Airplane from any Foreign Country...only to Detonate it off the Coast of California...at the correct Altitude to be spread most effectively by those vibrant winds that blow from the West Coast all the way across America  to the East Coast? Spreading the deadly particles all across America. That would make 911 look like Child's play.


September 11 was revealed by the 911 Commission to actually be Plan B... Plan A was to fly an Airplane into the Indian Point Nuclear Facility in Upstate New York. It was revealed that the only reason the plan was abandoned is because the Terrorists thought the American Government at the time was intelligent enough to have Surface to Air missiles installed around the facility to protect it...talk about overkill...or over estimating the dedication a Government would have for its people...So, they went with Plan B and down came the Towers.


An exploding Airplane full of Radioactive Material...over California... is a really destructive medium that could actually affect and kill Millions of people from one corner of America clear across to another...think about it...and then kiss your kids...and if you live on the West Coast...don't drink the Tap Water... don't let your kids drink it...and don't let the radioactive rain wet you...
