Government Lies 1

I wasn't sure what to call this post, so I thought 'Government Lies' was appropriate. But then I know it won't be the last time I want to use that title, so I'll just start numbering them. I just found this article on the Energy News site, and thought I'd link to the actual article. It's called Fukushima brings big radiation spikes to B.C. (Canada). Here's the kicker -- I remember shortly after the world heard about damage to the nuclear reactors (plural, not one reactor but 4 of the 6 are badly damaged), we were told by our government and the press that there was no need to worry. They reported that people were buying iodine pills, but there was no need for them. Not that they'd measured the amount of radiation or anything, but that even if there was a lot of radiation it would all dissipate (like magic?) by the time it made it's way across the Pacific Ocean. It turns out they lied. Whether it was out of ignorance or malice, I don't know. And now that the damage is mostly done we get news reports that tell us a revised story than what was originally told. And, as far as I can tell large amounts of radiation continue to be released from the plants. And that radiation is continuing to make it's way across the Pacific Ocean. (See updates for Jul 6 and June 23.) I am actually beginning to believe that if there is any 'man made global warming' or 'climate change' it is due to nuclear energy and NOT carbon emissions. Some people in the Energy News comment section place the blame on 'profits above people' which is mostly true. Then they blame capitalism, which to me isn't to blame. I would blame fraud, cover-ups and deception. It's not like the 'leaders' in a communist, socialist or Marxist system are any better.
