While the American media is focused on pro-football bullying and the possible presidential ambitions of Gov. Chris Christie, news of the Fukushima crisis barely registers a blip on the telescreens. Even though life on earth -- as we know it -- is at stake.

The world is reeling from the tragic disaster in the Philippines, leaving at least 10,000 dead and devastating the island nation. The tsunami that struck Japan in 2011 crippled the Fukushima nuclear power plant, and unless drastic measures are taken to contain the radiation, the deadly contamination could stretch across the pacific ocean into North America. A clean-up effort is underway to move the leaking fuel rods to "safer" containers, which could lead to a fresh disaster.

Jonathon Landsman, writing for Natural News, has this to say:

"Humanity seems to have an insatiable need to feel 'normal' -- especially after horrible events like 9/11 and Fukushima. But, as noble as it may appear to put terrible episodes behind us, we can't neglect even bigger threats ahead of us. For generations to come, highly-toxic radioactive particles like, Cs-137 and Strontium-90 will cause a staggering number of cancers, injury and death to millions of people -- worldwide. Those 'in the know' must do everything in their power to protect themselves and share this news with family and friends.

1. Those In The Know Are Only Interested In Next Quarters Profit

2. truth

3. The human race has become pathologically greedy and mean. Extinction may be the penalty for

those flaws. nt

4. I don't know where you live, but the whole human race is not greedy and mean.

Most of us are scared (human nature), but I don't think anywhere near a majority are "greedy and mean".

Extinction may be the penalty? Are we getting into a "God" thing here? Because it sounds a lot like Pat Robertson claiming hurricanes are punishment for gay marriage.

5. OK. I didn't take the time to say that those who are controlling world events are tending toward

greediness and meanness.

As the the "extinction" word, I was not getting into any "God thing". I was thinking more along the lines of an array of negative circumstances that could well lead to the extinction of most species on Earth including the human race.

If meaning is not clear enough, let me know and I'll expand my explanation of "array of negative circumstances".

6. "pathologically greedy and mean"

I've know too many examples of this, even the "good" people I know. I'm mocked by almost everyone I know for giving a damn about the mass-extinction we're starting. My fecund Christian neighbors are obviously educated but are also clueless about what their consumption and choices mean for the rest of species. I can not find a single person who realizes that 40,000 people, mostly children, will die of starvation today.
I'm sick of people patting themselves on the back for their "Humanity" As a species we are failing morally in the sickest, dirtiest ways.

Sorry to offend any of y'all humans reading this, but I've seen too much. All I hope for anymore is the animals, and the truth is that they all have a better chance the sooner we burn out.
