NUCLEAR POLLUTION THREATS Common Dolphins: Cetaceans are at the top of the food chain. Again the irony of the disaster at Fukushima Daiichi is that it has a very high probability of having irreversibly contaminated the dolphin population off Japan which already had very high levels of heavy metal prior to the massive dose which continues to this day, and will end the annual slaughter at Taiji, which many ocean goers find reprehensible due to the animals intellect and cultural resonance for people. conversations, studies and analyzation, I came to very specific conclusions regarding the nuclear meltdowns at Fukushima-Daiichi. Recently, there has been a ramping up of public interest regarding potential health effects. The level of white noise regarding the disaster has become both confusing and deafening. Something occurred the other day that made me pause and consider what to write here. It was a query sent by a double PhD at Lockheed-Martin who was part of my father’s network. If a double PhD in defense has to ask ... That said a lot to me about the general public’s understanding. We really do need to “get this.” The query was: “Are we experiencing a worldwide increase in radiation?” and “Is the United States Government (USG) stockpiling Potassium Iodine?” MY RESPONSE: Well, here is the rub. At day 78 post tsunami, formerly open sources of information were cloistered or entirely shut down—as reported by Eddie Leung, CEO of Secure Environment and former GE engineer involved in the Fukushima Plant’s deployment. At this time the USG also raised the standard for radiant contaminant (a heavy metal) in tuna (and other fisheries products) from 100 Bq per sample to 1000 Bq—a Bq is the activity of a quantity of radioactive material in which one nucleus decays per second. What we were seeing was an active engaging of plausible deniability by both complicit parties, the US and Japan, in order to secure the nuclear industry and maintain National Security for both population bases. We all knew what was coming. Six months ago a lead engineer of a firm, endeavored to replicate online research, which we had acquired in the course of our two-plus years of development of testing and remediation devices and protocols for persistent inorganic radiant heavy metal compounds. He was unable to do so. The data had
