Open Skies Treaty are reporting “unprecedented” amounts of radiation in US Western regions

This article has already been posted but it covers so many facets of what is happening right now including west coast exposure.

Russia Stunned After Japanese Plan to Evacuate 40 Million Revealed

"To how dire the situation is in Japan was recently articulated by Japanese diplomat Akio Matsumura who warned that the disaster at the Fukushima nuclear plant may ultimately turn into an event capable of extinguishing all life on Earth."

"Disturbingly, the desperate situation facing Japan is, also, facing the United States as Russian military observers overflying the US this week as part of the Open Skies Treaty are reporting “unprecedented” amounts of radiation in the Western regions of that country, a finding that was further confirmed by scientists with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute who have confirmed that a wave of highly radioactive waste is headed directly for the US west coast."

"Important to note is that this new wave of Fukushima radiation headed towards the US is in addition to earlier radiation events that American scientists are now blaming for radioactive particles from Japan being detected in California kelp."

"Even though this crisis in Japan has been described as “a nuclear war without a war” and the US Military is being reported is now stocking up on massive amounts of anti-radiation pills in preparation for nuclear fallout, there remains no evidence at all the ordinary peoples are being warned about this danger in any way whatsoever."

I always love how they think one pill for one form of radiation danger is going to take care of it all.

The article comes from a right-wing conspiracy website.

I'll wait for a real outlet to cover it.

Living on the west coast, it is good to keep up on how things are progressing over there.

that the rice noodles and bread I eat might be made of rice from Japan or other areas like China where they've reported radiation in rice. The US did not stop imports because Hillary Clinton cut a deal to help Japan by covering up radiation issues. When she went to Japan and cut this deal the EPA stopped reporting on radiation levels in the US too.
