Hawaii Radiation Spiking 2 days after Fukushima Typhoon

This is an item of concern for those who still live in Hawaii.

2 days after a Typhoon hit Japan, and TEPCO admitted large radiation releases due to the storm, radiation levels spike in Hawaii.

Keep in mind, this will travel to mainland USA and cross over in a day to 4 days.

Another storm is headed to Fukushima for a 1 -2 punch.   This will extend the danger time frame.

Basic good radiation practice here:

1) Stay out of the rain
2) Dose up with anti-oxidants
3) Run your multiple HEPA filters all the time
4) Get a Geiger and learn how to use it



Here is my chart showing relative danger levels of radiation, 150 is pretty bad.    That is where Hawaii is now.

ACA Health Care, aka Obamacare

I tried the website, and it technically functioned OK at 1AM.  

Some issues:
1) Massive invasion of privacy even before you can get a somewhat customized budget estimate.
2) You sign away all your rights and privacy for yourself and your family, and actually authorize the Department of Homeland Security to investigate yourself and your family.    And this is BEFORE you can get an actual quote.
3) One area of the website stated that with a $34,000 income that "my policy" would get over 50% of the annual fee refunded as a tax credit.      And then further on in the budget quoting process, that tax credit was reduced to $285, or less 3% of the annual insurance cost for 2 people.
4) They have a "chat" function, but the federal worker responding takes FOREVER to respond, like they are looking in books on the other side.   AND you have to agree to yet ANOTHER onerous giving away of your rights just to talk to them via chat.     WAY too many lawyers worked on this site.
5) There is NO WAY to compare the 60 or so health choices presented for my County of my State.   You have no idea the deductible, the copays, the items covered and percentages, and you can't find that anywhere on the website.     Sheesh, average buying sites for commercial products let you do side by side table comparisons of various products that you checklist.    This facilitates an informed decision making process, where you can eliminate the chaff quickly so you can focus your due diligence on items that really matter.

Nuclear = Clunker

Indian Point is a priority on the KILL LIST



And nice to see Huffpost getting in on the nuke bashing.

However, the midwest was an early adopter of Nuclear, especially with Argonne labs in Chicago researching and promoting nuclear.

The down side is LOTS of GE Mark 1 (the worst, just like Fukushima) in the midwest. Here is the Midwest kill list with status of these Clunker plants (rearrange the letters in nuclear and see if you can spell Clunker, yep, its a natural)

Now if we can just get someone to write a tune to Pink Floyd's classic

"We don't need no radiation...

Bill of Rights Summary of Current Status

I have wanted for several months to compare the Bill of Rights to what is really going on in America

 I knew it was bad, but this makes it clear how bad. Here is the summary, and in the below links are the full texts of the amendments and the supporting information on how the amendments are being raped.

Summary of the Bill of Rights (Amendments 1 through 10)

Amendment 1, Freedom of Speech,Decimated
Amendment 2, Guns, In process of Being Decimated
Amendment 3, Soldiers in Houses, These are Soldiers "quartered" in private houses, which is not really applicable, however the Boston house invasions by military were surprisingly Orwellian.

Amendment 4, Unreasonable Search and Seizure, Decimated, Stopped and Frisked, NSA Spying
Amendment 5, Without Due Process of Law, Decimated and Droned
Amendment 6, Criminal Prosecutions, Decimated
Amendment 7, Right to Jury Trial, Decimated
Amendment 8, Cruel and Unusual Punishment, Decimated and Tortured
Amendment 9, You have all the rights that aren’t mentioned, Decimated -- You have NO RIGHTS and are lucky to have the Privileges that Big Brother temporarily grants to you.

Amendment 10, The States AND Individuals Hold all Power Except that Specifically Granted to Feds BY THE CONSTITUTION,Decimated
