Radiation 36,000 times permissible level found in water at Fukushima plant 03 Dec 2013 The operator of the disaster-hit Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant said on Dec. 2 that it has detected radioactive materials that topped 36,000 times the permissible level in underground water extracted in the area. According to plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO), strontium-90 and other radioactive substances that emit beta rays were detected at a level of 1.1 million becquerels per liter in underground water pumped up from an observatory well on Nov. 28. The well is located at a sea bank east of the No. 2 reactor, about 40 meters from the ocean.

Fukushima water tanks: leaky and built with illegal labor 05 Dec 2013 Storage tanks at the Fukushima nuclear plant like one that spilled almost 80,000 gallons of radioactive water this year were built in part by workers illegally hired in one of the poorest corners of Japan, say labor regulators and some of those involved in the work. The Okinawa crew was recruited by Token Kogyo, an unregistered broker, and passed on to work at the Fukushima plant under the direction of Tec, a larger contractor which reported to construction firm Taisei Corp, records show. In September, Okinawa labor regulators sanctioned Token Kogyo after investigating a complaint by Uechi and concluding the broker improperly sent workers to Fukushima, said an official with knowledge of the order, which was not made public.

'Nothing is beyond our reach': Evil octopus strangling the world becomes latest US intelligence seal 06 Dec 2013 The US National Reconnaissance Office launched a top-secret surveillance satellite into space Thursday evening. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence live-tweeted Thursday's launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, and throughout the course of the ordeal made no effort to ignore the logo for the NROL-39 mission. The latest spy satellite to be sent into orbit by the NRO can be recognized by its seal: a malevolent octopus with furrowed brows that also happens to be wrapping its tentacles around all corners of the Earth.

US Navy launches drone from submerged submarine 05 Dec 2013 Today, the US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) announced that it had successfully launched a drone from a submerged submarine. The all-electric eXperimental Fuel Cell Unmanned Aerial System (XFC) was launched in the Bahamas from the Los Angeles-class nuclear-powered attack submarine USS Providence (SSN 719), using a system that allowed the drone to be deployed without modifications to the boat -- or requiring it to surface. For the submarine test, the XFC was placed inside of a "Sea Robin" launch vehicle.

'Marine A' Alexander Blackman jailed for at least 10 years for executing injured Afghan prisoner --Judge Advocate General Jeff Blackett says he 'treated Afghan man with contempt and murdered him in cold blood' --'You were obliged to care for him but instead you executed him' 06 Dec 2013 The Royal Marine convicted of murdering a wounded Taliban prisoner will serve at least 10 years in prison after he was given a life sentence by a court martial today. Sergeant Alexander Blackman, 39, was sentenced at a hearing in Bulford, Wiltshire, one day after a ban on identifying him was lifted by a High Court ruling. The serviceman - known during the hearing as 'Marine A' - was filmed shooting the injured man and telling him 'shuffle off this mortal coil, you c---' during a tour of duty in Helmand province in September 2011. Blackman has been dismissed with disgrace from the Royal Marines.

Ex-Blackwater Guards Plead Not Guilty 04 Dec 2013 Four ex-Blackwater guards are pleading not guilty to multiple manslaughter charges stemming from a deadly 2007 shooting on the streets of Baghdad. Prosecutors say the heavily armed Blackwater convoy launched an unprovoked attack. The guards were first indicted in 2008, but one of them, Nicholas Slatten, was dropped from the case the following year.

Heads up! House and Senate Near Deal to Fast-Track TPP, Drafted in Secrecy By and For Corporations --U.S. media COMPLETELY SILENT (except for Ed Schultz) on disastrous giveaway of US to multi-nationals 06 Dec 2013 A sweeping trade agreement between the United States and a dozen Pacific nations could be approved by Congress as early as next week, a move that would signal a major victory for the special interests and corporations backing the deal. House and Senate negotiators are closing in on a deal to "fast-track" the Trans-Pacific Partnership, according to congressional aides who spoke to The New York Times. Opponents of the TPP have urged Congress to reject the fast-track plan, noting that the TPP has been negotiated almost entirely behind closed doors. [President Barack Obama is upping the quality of his 'income inequality oratory' to provide cover and to serve as a distraction for the government to SURRENDER U.S. sovereignty to transnational corporations. The TPP -- drafted in secrecy by and for corpora-terrorists -- must be stopped. --LRP]

6 Hospitalized in Mexico With Signs of Radiation Exposure 06 Dec 2013 Six people showing signs of radiation exposure were hospitalized in central Mexico on Friday, government officials said, two days after a stolen truck carrying radioactive waste was found abandoned in the area, its potentially lethal contents disturbed. The authorities said the six are suspects in the robbery and are being detained. There was enough material in the waste shipment to deliver a dose within minutes that would cause illness within a day or two, and with a few hours of exposure, a dose that would be lethal.

Stolen Radioactive Material Found in Field --The health of a family in rural Mexico is being monitored after they pick up 60g of cobalt-60 - enough to make a dirty bomb. 06 Dec 2013 A stolen shipment of highly radioactive cobalt-60 has been found abandoned in a field in Mexico. A family took the opened medical device containing the radioactive material into their home after finding it in central Mexico state...Federal police blocked access Friday to a central Mexico hospital where six people were reported to have been admitted with radiation exposure.

Hong Kong confirms second human H7N9 bird flu case in a week 06 Dec 2013 Hong Kong health authorities on Friday confirmed a new human case of the deadly H7N9 bird flu, the second case to come to light in less than five days. An 80-year-old man has been infected and is hospitalised in the southern Chinese city, Hong Kong Centre for Health Protection controller Leung Ting-hung told reporters at a press conference. Officials have started tracing the patient's relatives both in Hong Kong and in Shenzhen, placing patients and healthcare workers who were in contact with the man at the hospital under "medical surveillance".

Ex-official: CIA Helped Jail Mandela 10 Jun 1990 For nearly 28 years the U.S. government has harbored an increasingly embarrassing secret: A CIA tip to South African intelligence agents led to the arrest that put black nationalist leader Nelson Mandela in prison for most of his adult life. But now, with Mandela en route to the U.S. to a hero's welcome, a former U.S. official has revealed that he has known of the CIA role since Mandela was seized by agents of the South African police special branch on Aug. 5, 1962. The former official, now retired, said that within hours after Mandela's arrest Paul Eckel, then a senior CIA operative, walked into his office and said approximately these words: "We have turned Mandela over to the South African security branch. We gave them every detail, what he would be wearing, the time of day, just where he would be. They have picked him up. It is one of our greatest coups." [Yeah, but then there was the 9/11 inside job, Iraq-for-oil, the poppy fields in Afghanistan, waterboarding, and rendition -- even 'greater' CIA coups. --LRP]

Mandela's legacy: peace, but poverty for many blacks 05 Dec 2013 In the 10 years after he withdrew from public life, Nelson Mandela divided his time between a mansion in one of Johannesburg's w-althiest suburbs and his ancestral home in Qunu, a village in South Africa's impoverished eastern Cape. The contrast could not have been starker. In one, his neighbors were cast in the image of the white "Rand Lords", the mining magnates and bankers who built the sprawling city - and Africa's biggest economy - from the vast gold reserves in the rock beneath their feet.

South Carolina Sheriff Refuses to Lower Flag for Mandela 06 Dec 2013 Rick Clark, the sheriff of Pickens County, S.C., vowed on Friday to defy President Obama's order that U.S. flags be lowered to half staff in honor of deceased South African leader Nelson Mandela. Clark made his promise in a Facebook post to keep flying the flag at the Pickens County Sheriff's Office at full height. Clark said the flags at the Sheriff's Office were at half staff Friday to mourn a deceased deputy.

US jobless rate falls to 5-year low in November 06 Dec 2013 The US un-mpl-yment rate fell to a five-year low of 7% in November, according to the US Labor Department. P-yr-ll figures also showed that 203,000 jobs were created last month, more than predicted, as the US economy displayed encouraging signs of strength.
