Fourth in a series.
Today four of my siblings meet for lunch in downtown Seattle. One of them is ill with chronic cancer. She is facing, once again, the possible end of her life. Knowing what may be ahead in the very near future, how does she respond? How do we respond to her? Let us re-member ourselves, our interbeingness, our crying, circulating, spiral into love.
We are all, all of us, possibly nearing the end of our lives here on Earth. How do we respond? Even the children. Even the babies, being born into tender, loving arms of parental hope.
Imagine, all those on the west coast migrating inland, to where the broken ocean does not roar. But nuclear power plants do their silent deadly dance, and coal plants belch, and GMOs drift from field to field, chemtrails rain from above. There is no safe place. We have only each other. And our Lover Earth, herself reeling from the onslaught of 300 years of human scientific and technological “progress.”
28 Signs That The West Coast Is Being Absolutely Fried With Nuclear Radiation From Fukushima
October 22, 2013
by Michael Snyder
The map below comes from the Nuclear Emergency Tracking Center. It shows that radiation levels at radiation monitoring stations all over the country are elevated. As you will notice, this is particularly true along the west coast of the United States. Every single day, 300 tons of radioactive water from Fukushima enters the Pacific Ocean. That means that the total amount of radioactive material released from Fukushima is constantly increasing, and it is steadily building up in our food chain.
Ultimately, all of this nuclear radiation will outlive all of us by a very wide margin. They are saying that it could take up to 40 years to clean up the Fukushima disaster, and meanwhile countless innocent people will develop cancer and other health problems as a result of exposure to high levels of nuclear radiation. We are talking about a nuclear disaster that is absolutely unprecedented, and it is constantly getting worse. The following are 28 signs that the west coast of North America is being absolutely fried with nuclear radiation from Fukushima…
1. Polar bears, seals and walruses along the Alaska coastline are suffering from fur loss and open sores…
Wildlife experts are studying whether fur loss and open sores detected in nine polar bears in recent weeks is widespread and related to similar incidents among seals and walruses.
The bears were among 33 spotted near Barrow, Alaska, during routine survey work along the Arctic coastline. Tests showed they had “alopecia, or loss of fur, and other skin lesions,” the U.S. Geological Survey said in a statement.
2. There is an epidemic of sea lion deaths along the California coastline…
At island rookeries off the Southern California coast, 45 percent of the pups born in June have died, said Sharon Melin, a wildlife biologist for the National Marine Fisheries Service based in Seattle. Normally, less than one-third of the pups would die. It’s gotten so bad in the past two weeks that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration declared an “unusual mortality event.”
3. Along the Pacific coast of Canada and the Alaska coastline, the population of sockeye salmon is at a historic low. Many are blaming Fukushima.
4. Something is causing fish all along the west coast of Canada to bleed from their gills, bellies and eyeballs.
5. A vast field of radioactive debris from Fukushima that isapproximately the size of California has crossed the Pacific Ocean and is starting to collide with the west coast.
6. It is being projected that the radioactivity of coastal waters off the U.S. west coast could double over the next five to six years.
7. Experts have found very high levels of cesium-137 in plankton living in the waters of the Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and the west coast.
8. One test in California found that 15 out of 15 bluefin tuna were contaminated with radiation from Fukushima.
9. Back in 2012, the Vancouver Sun reported that cesium-137 was being found in a very high percentage of the fish that Japan was selling to Canada…
10. Canadian authorities are finding extremely high levels of nuclear radiation in certain fish samples…
Some fish samples tested to date have had very high levels of radiation: one sea bass sample collected in July, for example, had 1,000 becquerels per kilogram of cesium.
11. Some experts believe that we could see very high levels of cancer along the west coast just from people eating contaminated fish…
“Look at what’s going on now: They’re dumping huge amounts of radioactivity into the ocean — no one expected that in 2011,” Daniel Hirsch, a nuclear policy lecturer at the University of California-Santa Cruz, told Global Security Newswire. “We could have large numbers of cancer from ingestion of fish.”
12. BBC News recently reported that radiation levels around Fukushima are “18 times higher” than previously believed.
13. An EU-funded study concluded that Fukushima released up to 210 quadrillion becquerels of cesium-137 into the atmosphere.
14. Atmospheric radiation from Fukushima reached the west coast of the United States within a few days back in 2011.
15. At this point, 300 tons of contaminated water is pouring into the Pacific Ocean from Fukushima every single day.
16. A senior researcher of marine chemistry at the Japan Meteorological Agency’s Meteorological Research Institute says that “30 billion becquerels of radioactive cesium and 30 billion becquerels of radioactive strontium” are being released into the Pacific Ocean from Fukushima every single day.
17. According to Tepco, a total of somewhere between 20 trillion and 40 trillion becquerels of radioactive tritium have gotten into the Pacific Ocean since the Fukushima disaster first began.
18. According to a professor at Tokyo University, 3 gigabecquerels of cesium-137 are flowing into the port at Fukushima Daiichi every single day.
19. It has been estimated that up to 100 times as much nuclear radiation has been released into the ocean from Fukushima than was released during the entire Chernobyl disaster.
20. One recent study concluded that a very large plume of cesium-137 from the Fukushima disaster will start flowing into U.S. coastal waters early next year…
Ocean simulations showed that the plume of radioactive cesium-137 released by the Fukushima disaster in 2011 could begin flowing into U.S. coastal waters starting in early 2014 and peak in 2016.
21. It is being projected that significant levels of cesium-137 will reach every corner of the Pacific Ocean by the year 2020.
22. It is being projected that the entire Pacific Ocean will soon “have cesium levels 5 to 10 times higher” than what we witnessed during the era of heavy atomic bomb testing in the Pacific many decades ago.
23. The immense amounts of nuclear radiation getting into the water in the Pacific Ocean has caused environmental activist Joe Martino to issue the following warning…
Your days of eating Pacific Ocean fish are over.
24. The Iodine-131, Cesium-137 and Strontium-90 that are constantly coming from Fukushima are going to affect the health of those living the the northern hemisphere for a very, very long time. Just consider what Harvey Wasserman had to say about this…
Iodine-131, for example, can be ingested into the thyroid, where it emits beta particles (electrons) that damage tissue. A plague of damaged thyroids has already been reported among as many as 40 percent of the children in the Fukushima area. That percentage can only go higher. In developing youngsters, it can stunt both physical and mental growth. Among adults it causes a very wide range of ancillary ailments, including cancer.
Strontium-90’s half-life is around 29 years. It mimics calcium and goes to our bones.
25. According to a recent Planet Infowars report, the California coastline is being transformed into “a dead zone”…
The California coastline is becoming like a dead zone.
If you haven’t been to a California beach lately, you probably don’t know that the rocks are unnaturally CLEAN – there’s hardly any kelp, barnacles, sea urchins, etc. anymore and the tide pools are similarly eerily devoid of crabs, snails and other scurrying signs of life… and especially as compared to 10 – 15 years ago when one was wise to wear tennis shoes on a trip to the beach in order to avoid cutting one’s feet on all the STUFF of life – broken shells, bones, glass, driftwood, etc.
There are also days when I am hard-pressed to find even a half dozen seagulls and/or terns on the county beach.
You can still find a few gulls trolling the picnic areas and some of the restaurants (with outdoor seating areas) for food, of course, but, when I think back to 10 – 15 years ago, the skies and ALL the beaches were literally filled with seagulls and the haunting sound of their cries both day and night…
NOW it’s unnaturally quiet.
26. A study conducted last year came to the conclusion that radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster could negatively affect human life along the west coast of North America from Mexico to Alaska “for decades”.
27. According to the Wall Street Journal, it is being projected that the cleanup of Fukushima could take up to 40 years to complete.
28. Yale Professor Charles Perrow is warning that if the cleanup of Fukushima is not handled with 100% precision that humanity could be threatened “for thousands of years“…
Conditions in the unit 4 pool, 100 feet from the ground, are perilous, and if any two of the rods touch it could cause a nuclear reaction that would be uncontrollable. The radiation emitted from all these rods, if they are not continually cool and kept separate, would require the evacuation of surrounding areas including Tokyo. Because of the radiation at the site the 6,375 rods in the common storage pool could not be continuously cooled; they would fission and all of humanity will be threatened, for thousands of years.
Are you starting to understand why so many people are so deeply concerned about what is going on at Fukushima?

On the up side: If you are looking into prostate cancer treatment, and don’t want to face the options, maybe just move to California instead and live out your years on the beach.
So, I have to ask, what are we to do with this information?? Move?? Grieve?? This is impossible to process, and impossible to affect. I think I will just work to accept that I am living in end times, and enjoy the small moments while I still can. I have a gun, I have pills, and I can always starve myself to death if it gets too ugly…
Exactly. How DO we process this impossibly difficult information. I think that question is key, and that it could lead to a transformation of human society if we allow in the grief and despair.
Okay, for me personally, grief and despair lead me deeper and deeper into sorrow, and an equally deeper sense of utter resignation. It seems to me that the powers that run the Earth have no sense of despair about this, because they deny the reality of it, so in the halls where change could occur, no one cares. The ones who are ripped to shreds emotionally by news such as this are not the ones who run the show, so where is this transformation supposed to occur?
They tell us to learn to enjoy the present.
Susan I like this discussion because it seems to ask for a starting point for mental change. There are many starting points to choose from. For me at least, somewhere along life’s time-line I seem to have made a choice to not give in to the darkness. This may seem like suggesting to a depressed person to be happy. But it’s different in reality. I find a simple statement repeated several times a day from early morning to late night causes personal change for good on several levels: “Healthy am I, Happy am I, Holy am I”
What makes this affirmation so powerful as a medical meditation (developed by top integrated medicine practicing doctors), I think is your physiological and etheric bodies respond through elevated seratonine, reduced stress, lower blood pressure, and reduced pain levels. And it’s easy to remember.
Thank you for your affirmation! It has a sweet ring to it. I have suffered from clinical depression for many years—runs through my family line for several generations. I tend toward despair. Mostly, I find what little peace I can by keeping to my own yard and my own neighborhood—a place where I can see and feel my influence. Reading about the World’s woes is just to much for me.
I think I might know what you mean about keeping to my own back yard and neighborhood, but for different reasons. In the spirit of first, do no harm, may I offer you a very utilitarian book I keep by Dr Singh Khalsa MD, “Meditation As Medicine” were I first read “Healthy am I, Happy am I, Holy am I” on a section under Mental Focus, page 30 of 274:

Mushrooms! There are ways to shift this back into balance. It would require massive action from combined experts, but there are ways to return to balance if we begin to act together now. We can also work with the OtherRealms who are VERY interested and invested in us finding solutions to the nuclear insanity. In addition, radiation triggers mutations. For over a decade, I have had the sense that a radiation crisis would in some way trigger to next phase of evolution on this planet. Perhaps we are already there. Evolve or die time. Which do we choose?
