13. There is a strong, concerted effort...
...to hide information about radiation that is in our atmosphere and water--due to Fukushima.

Have you noticed the media blackout?

There were many articles about radioactive isotopes (cesium and iodine-131) in our rainwater, drinking water, milk and
other produce) that began trickling in. Then, those articles just stopped. However, the radiation from Fukushima has
continued to pour out of that plant.

It is accumulating everywhere. But there is a media blackout.

In early May, CIIRAD--a French research body on radiation issued a warning to all Europeans that drinking milk and
eating leafy greens was "risky behavior" due to dangerous amounts of cesium and iodine-131. The article also noted
that the levels found in the United States were SEVERAL TIMES HIGHER THAN WHAT WAS FOUND IN EUROPE.

Warnings for them. Zilch for us poor bastards in the United States.

Here's the link to the article: http://www.eutimes.net/2011/04/fukushima-radiation-no-longer-negligible-in-europe/

And anyone who tells you--"Oh come now, radiation is all around us, why...it's even in bananas!!" is toeing the line
for the energy companies who want to quell opposition in order to continue profitting from nuclear energy.

ANY AMOUNT OF CESIUM OR RADIOATIVE IODINE-131 INCREASES YOUR CHANCES OF CANCER. Any expert on radiation and how it affects
the body--will tell you that. Radioactive isotopes from Fukushima continue to accumuulate in our water, in our soil
and in our produce and in our milk---that's a fact.

But--the profit-makers get to decide what we read and if we can protect ourselves and our children, right?
