EPA to raise limits for radiation exposure
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.
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!

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.
