36 Signs The Media Is Lying To You About How Radiation From Fukushima Is Affecting The West Coast
The west coast of the United States is being absolutely fried by radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster, and the mainstream media is not telling us the truth about this. What you are about to see is a collection of evidence that is quite startling. Taken collectively, this body of evidence shows that nuclear radiation from Fukushima is affecting sea life in the Pacific Ocean and animal life along the west coast of North America in some extraordinary ways. But the mainstream media continues to insist that we dont have a thing to worry about. The mainstream media continues to insist that radiation levels in the Pacific and along the west coast are perfectly safe. Are they lying to us? Evaluate the evidence compiled below and come to your own conclusions
#1 Independent researchers have measured alarmingly high levels of radiation on the beaches of the west coast. For example, the video posted below was taken on December 23rd, 2013 at Pacifica State Beach. As you can see in this video, radiation levels near the water are up to five times higher than normal background radiation
#2 According to Oceanus Magazine, the total amount of cesium-137 that has been released into the Pacific Ocean from Fukushima is 10,000 to 100,000 times greater than the amount released into the oceans by the Chernobyl disaster or by the atmospheric nuclear weapons tests of the 1960s.
#3 Former MSNBC host Cenk Uygur has admitted that while he was at MSNBC he was instructed not to warn the public about the radiation coming from Fukushima
I was on MSNBC at the time when this happened, I said, Dont trust what the Japanese government is saying, theyll say trust what the electric power company is saying. Go, go, go, get outta there. Get as far away from that plant as you can. Its literally a core meltdown. And they always dont want people to panic, so they were always like, Oh its going to be okay. [...] Im like, Youre crazy man, dont be anywhere near that reactor. And I remember at the time, of course not at The Young Turks, but on cable news, people were like, Hey Cenk, you know, I dont know that you want to say that, because the official government position is that its safe. Oh, is that the official government position? Now go explain that to the people who served on the USS Ronald Reagan.
#4 71 U.S. sailors who assisted with the initial Fukushima relief efforts have developed serious diseases such as testicular cancer, thyroid cancer, Leukemia, unremitting gynecological bleeding and brain tumors since that time as a result of exposure to radiation coming from Fukushima.

Everything else aside, "FUKUSHIMA STEAM" would be a cool name for a band.

Too many people are looking as hard as they can to find the most apocalyptic wackery they can.

Here is where you would see the increased radioactivity in two days if it occurs

Worse, they are a propagandist selective aggregator, without an iota of integrity.

That link makes it pretty clear that the poster was NOT saying she SHOULD be shot.
