EPA to raise limits for radiation exposure

While not so very current...you have heard NOTHING about this in the Main Stream News...very-very sad!

EPA to raise limits for radiation exposure while Canada turns off fallout detectors

(NaturalNews) The mass radioactive contamination of our planet is now under way thanks to the astonishing actions taking place at the Fukushima nuclear facility in Japan. As of last night, TEPCO announced it is releasing10,000 tons of radioactive water directly into the Pacific Ocean. That 2.4 million gallons of planetary poison being dumped directly into the ocean.

This water is being released because they have run out of places to keep it on land. It's too deadly to transport anywhere else, and all the storage pools around Fukushima are already overflowing. So they're dumping it into the ocean, then calling it "safe" because they claim the ocean will "disperse" all the radiation and make it harmless.

But because there's more radioactive water being produced every day at Fukushima, this process of releasing radioactive water into the ocean could theoretically continue for years, easily making Fukushima the worst nuclear disaster in the history of our world.

Quick, fudge the numbers before anybody notices!

Fukushima, you see, is doing to the Pacific Ocean what BP and the Deepwater Horizon did to the Gulf of Mexico last summer. Except that in the case of Fukushima, that radiation doesn't just disappear with the help of millions of gallons of toxic chemicals. Nope, that radiation sticks around for decades.


So what to do? If you're the United States Environment Protection Agency, there's only one option: Declare radiation to be safe!

Yes indeed, friends, we have reached a moment of comedic insanity at
the EPA, where those in charge of protecting the environment are hastily rewriting the definition of "radioactive contamination" in order to make sure that whatever fallout reaches the United States falls under the new limits of "safe" radiation.

The
EPA maintains a set of so-called "Protective Action Guides" (PAGs). These PAGs are being quickly revised to radically increase the allowable levels of iodine-131 (a radioactive isotope) to anywhere from 3,000 to 100,000 times the currently allowable levels.

The group Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) is all over this issue, having obtained internal emailsfrom a FOIA requests that reveal some truly shocking revelations of the level of back-stabbing betrayal happening inside the EPA. For example, under the newly-revised PAGs, drinking just one glass of water considered "safe" by the EPA could subject you to the lifetime limit of radiation. (

"In addition," PEER goes on to say, "it would allow long-term cleanup limits thousands of times more lax than anything EPA has ever before accepted. These new limits would cause a cancer in as much as every fourth person exposed."

These new PAGs would also vastly increase the allowable levels of radiation in soil and
food, too. That way, when theradioactive fallout from Fukushima's massive release of raw radioactive water begins to rain down upon the West Coast, the EPA can officially announce that all the radiation is "below accepted limits." That's very comforting to many people, you see.

And why is it below the limits? Because the EPA just raised the limits by as much as 100,000 times!

Secret Patriot Act

As nightmarish as "Patriot Acts I and II" are, we now learn that Congress passed a "Secret Patriot Act" which is far more horrific!

subscribe to: http://www.cuttingedge.org

America is rapidly moving into the greatest Absolute Dictatorship in all recorded history, as this story proves.

NEWS BRIEF: "There’s a Secret Patriot Act, Senator Says", Wired Magazine, May 25, 2011

"You may think you understand how the Patriot Act allows the government to spy on its citizens. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) says it’s worse than you’ve heard."

How can any law be worse than Patriot Acts I and II? Among other things, these two dictatorial acts allow:

1) Government agents to arrest you without charges;

2) They will refuse to allow you a lawyer;

3) They can take you to a secret location and are not obligated to tell anyone where you are being held;

4) They can keep you imprisoned indefinitely before they bring you to trial;

5) They can try you secretly and do not have to allow you to mount a defense;

6) They can convict you secretly based on whatever evidence they decide is enough to find you guilty;

7) They can execute you secretly without having to report the execution to anyone

8) If a neighbor sees you being arrested in the middle of the night and protests, he can be treated exactly as we have described above!

Therefore, how can any other law be "worse"?

"Congress is set to reauthorize three controversial provisions of the surveillance law as early as Thursday. But Wyden says that what Congress will renew is a mere fig leaf for a far broader legal interpretation of the Patriot Act that the government keeps to itself — entirely in secret. Worse, there are hints that the government uses this secret interpretation to gather what one Patriot-watcher calls a “dragnet” for massive amounts of information on private citizens; the government portrays its data-collection efforts much differently."

Senator Wyden attempts to further explain:

" 'We’re getting to a gap between what the public thinks the law says and what the American government secretly thinks the law says', Wyden tells Danger Room in an interview in his Senate office ... That’s why Wyden and his colleague Sen. Mark Udall offered an amendment on Tuesday to the Patriot Act reauthorization. The amendment, first reported by Marcy Wheeler, blasts the administration for “secretly reinterpret[ing] public laws and statutes.” It would compel the Attorney General to “publicly disclose the United States Government’s official interpretation of the USA Patriot Act.”

Americans are in the situation where the government has far more authority over us than anyone can possibly know. The dark night of extreme despotism under girded by the highest technology in world history is nearly upon us. Are you spiritually ready? Are you warning as many people as you possibly can, in as many different ways available to you?

We must work, for the night is coming when no man can work.
