Fukushima cancers ‘to go on forever’

“Radioactive elements get into the testicles and ovaries, and these cause genetic disease like diabetes, cystic fibrosis, and mental retardation,” she told Al Jazeera. “There are 2,600 of these diseases that get into our genes and are passed from generation to generation, forever.” Dr Helen Caldicott (Nobel winner)

Japan2 — radiation crisis 'only beginning'

Caldicott feels the lack of a stronger response to safeguard the health of people in areas where radiation is found is “reprehensible”.

“Millions of people need to be evacuated from those high radiation zones, especially the children.”

Dr Yanagisawa is concerned about what she calls “late onset disorders” from radiation exposure resulting from the Fukushima disaster, as well as increasing cases of infertility and miscarriages.

“Incidence of cancer will undoubtedly increase,” she said. “In the case of children, thyroid cancer and leukemia can start to appear after several years. In the case of adults, the incidence of various types of cancer will increase over the course of several decades.”…..

..Junichi Sato, Greenpeace Japan Executive Director, said: “It is utterly outrageous to raise the exposure levels for children to twenty times the maximum limit for adults.” “The Japanese government cannot simply increase safety limits for the sake of political convenience or to give the impression of normality.”…

…When on August 2nd readings of 10,000 millisieverts (10 sieverts) of radioactivity per hour were detected at the plant, Japan’s science ministry said that level of dose is fatal to humans, and is enough radiation to kill a person within one to two weeks after the exposure.

10,000 millisieverts (mSv) is the equivalent of approximately 100,000 chest x-rays…..

“The situation at the Daiichi Nuclear facility in Fukushima has not yet been fully stabilised, and we can’t yet see an end in sight,” Yanagisawa said. “Because the nuclear material has not yet been encapsulated, radiation continues to stream into the environment.”

Collapse of Capitalism: ‘System ready to blow’

World stock markets plunge/ Fears of recession intensify…/. Global recession warning rattles stock…/ European bank funding / Unemployment rises sharply / The System is Ready to Blow / Markets in Meltdown /

The world financial system is now one huge mess, The stupid debt system and dog eat dog mentality

have brought the whole thing rolling to a cliff edge. It appears the Central banks have run out of

ideas to slow things down.

If Capitalism blows it’s NOT the end.. it’s just a new ball game.

‘The West’ is immensely rich in property and assets, yet suddenly will be bankrupt.

This is nonsense.. all we need to do is band together in Local Assemblies, pool our resources , skills

and possibilities, and work out an infinitely better future, without destroying the planet. In some places this is already happening.

The Collapse of Capitalism means the rich will lose their ill gotten gains.. For the rest it will be ‘survival as usual’…

Peru part legalizes Coca Farmers

No es una droga
es una planta sagrada
la quieren convertir en demonio
halla en la cima
crece escondida
y la imaginan como asesina…

publicidad_de_hoja_de_coca — coca leaves are a tea and tradicional medicine

The Peruvian government says it has suspended coca eradication efforts in an area where much coca is grown.

Head of the Peruvian president’s anti-narcotics efforts Ricardo Soberon said the new government would halt eradication in Huallaga while it re-evaluated the programme.

He said previous eradication efforts had had little effect.

Analysts said the move raised concerns about Peru’s commitment to the fight against illegal coca production.

Peru’s President Ollanta Humala, who came to office on 28 July, spoke in his election manifesto of decriminalising coca farmers and even the low-level cocaine processors and smugglers.

20000 anti papas ocupan SOL

Más de 20.000 ciudadan@s ha marchado por el centro de Madrid contra la visita del Papa Benedicto XVI y la financiación pública de la Jornada Mundial de la Juventud (JMJ).

La manifestación ha recorrido el centro de Madrid, pasando por la Puerta del Sol, donde los manifestantes se encontraron con cientos de peregrinos, que pretendían cortar el paso a la plaza, momentos en los que hubo más de un cara a cara dialéctico. Banderas republicanas y con los colores del arco iris, ondeaban sobre los manifestantes imprimiendo otro color a esta ciudad invadida estos días por las diversas “recuas” católicas.

Hacia las 21:00 horas la Puerta del Sol estaba tomada por manifestantes laicos, y la calle Carretas, y la Plaza de Benavente, y Tirso de Molina… y la manifestación avanzaba ya por la calle Alcalá.

“Menos curas y más cultura”, “Menos crucifijos y más trabajo fijo”, “Hemos venido, pagando el autobús”, “No con mis impuestos”, “Menos crucifijos y más trabajo fijo”, “Lo llaman estado laico y no lo es”, “Mejor perroflauta que pastor alemán”, “La religión fuera de la escuela”… son algunos de los gritos coreados en el recorrido.

El Papa apoya la violencia policial

Represión brutal y censura. ¿Quién con dos dedos de frente puede seguir considerando esta mierda una democracia?

Los únicos cobardes, totalitarios y criminales (en ideología y práctica histórica) sois los católico-frikis-papaflautas, niños adinerados procedentes de las grandes haciendas y mansiones de los banqueros y empresarios explotadores. Ignorantes, sois la basura de la humanidad

Jesus banned for wearing a condom

”The Catholic church led by a rabid Pope continues to prohibit basic Family Planning to its millions of brainwashed believers, causing immense suffering. the spread of AIDS and other diseases, and a planet sliding in to catastrophe due partly to overpopulation”…

…In the exhibition Jesus Christ, nailed on the cross, has a penis covered by a bright red condom.... posters of Mother Mary and Jesus Christ mixed with images of Mickey Mouse, US President Barack

Obama and the Statue of Liberty. The installation by artist Mideo Cruz is now the centre of intense uproar, conservative Catholics threatened to kill Cruz. CCP closed the exhibit, giving in to pressure and threats..

Religious groups, dressed in creaseless white robes, continue to condemn what for them is a blasphemous piece of art, forgetting that freedom of expression is fundamental and that it is this same freedom that allows them to practise their religion in public.

Indeed, the Catholic Church in the Philippines is missing the point.

Cruz’ artwork is merely a reflection of what this predominantly Catholic country has become; of how the practice of Christianity in the country has been reduced to worshipping religious icons, or a sort of polytheism.
