There were no workers inside the tunnel when it collapsed. But nearby Hanford workers were evacuated and others who were farther away were told to remain indoors, the U.S. Department of Energy said. The accident occurred at a facility known as PUREX (plutonium uranium extraction), located in the middle of the sprawling Hanford site, which is half the size of Rhode Island, Bradbury said.

 in highly radioactive Fukushima mountain forest | 01 May 2017 | A fire broke out in a mountain forest near the crippled Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant on the evening of April 29, consuming an area approximately 20 hectares in size, according to prefectural authorities. The fire started on 448-meter-high Mount Juman in Namie, Fukushima Prefecture, prompting the prefectural government to request the dispatch of the Ground Self-Defense Force (GSDF) on a disaster relief mission on April 30. The area is designated as a "difficult-to-return zone" due to high radiation levels from the Fukushima nuclear disaster, and entry into the area is barred in principle.

'Declaration of war': Russian MPs blast US plans to enforce N. Korea sanctions on foreign territory | 05 May 2017 | A senior Russian senator says the American bill allowing the US Navy to enforce international sanctions on North Korea through the control of Russian ports is a violation of international law, and is equal to a declaration of war. "The realization of this [US] bill includes a proposed force scenario in which the US Navy would conduct compulsory inspections of all ships. Such a scenario is simply unthinkable because it means a declaration of war," RIA Novosti quoted upper house Committee for International Relations head Konstantin Kosachev as saying. The comment came shortly after the US Congress approved the [insane] bill with additional sanctions against North Korea, allowing for the possible establishment of US control over seaports and sea routes in the Far East, including the Russian ports of Vanino, Nakhodka and Vladivostok.

 

North Korea accuses the CIA of plotting to assassinate Kim Jong-Un with bio-weapon | 05 May 2017 | North Korea on Friday accused the CIA of plotting with South Korea to assassinate the isolated country's leader Kim Jong-Un, amid soaring tensions in the flashpoint region. The CIA and Seoul's Intelligence Services have 'hatched a vicious plot' involving unspecified 'biochemical substances' to assassinate North Korea's young leader during public ceremonial events in Pyongyang, the Ministry said in a statement carried by state media. For the CIA 'assassination by use of biochemical substances including radioactive substance and nano poisonous substance is the best method that does not require access to the target, their lethal results will appear after six or twelve months,' the North Korean Ministry said in a statement carried by state media on Friday.

 

Unmanned U.S. Air Force space plane lands after secret, two-year mission | 08 May 2017 | The U.S. military's experimental [!?!] X-37B space plane landed on Sunday at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, completing a classified mission that lasted nearly two years, the Air Force said. The unmanned X-37B, which resembles a miniature space shuttle, touched down at 7:47 a.m. EDT (1147 GMT) on a runway formerly used for landings of the now-mothballed space shuttles, the Air Force said in an email. The X-37B, one of two in the Air Force fleet, conducted unspecified experiments for more than 700 days while in orbit. It was the fourth and lengthiest mission so far for the secretive program, managed by the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office.

President Obama's team sought NSA intel on thousands of Americans during the 2016 election | 04 May 2017 | During his final year in office, President Obama's team significantly expanded efforts to search National Security Agency intercepts for information about Americans, distributing thousands of intelligence reports across government with the unredacted names of U.S. residents during the midst of a divisive 2016 presidential election. The data, made available this week by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, provides the clearest evidence to date of how information accidentally collected by the NSA overseas about Americans was subsequently searched and disseminated after President Obama loosened privacy protections to make such sharing easier in 2011 in the name of national security. A court affirmed his order.

 

Sally Yates was the real blackmailer | 09 May 2017 | In dramatic testimony Monday, Obama holdover Attorney General Sally Yates testified that she warned the incoming White House its newly installed national security adviser, Michael Flynn, was "compromised" by a lie and therefore a potential "blackmail target" of the Russians. President Trump can be forgiven for ignoring her warning. It was Yates who was blackmailing him...Just two days after the election, Obama urged President-elect Trump not to rehire Flynn, whom he once fired from the Pentagon...Then in late December or early January, someone working under Obama's own national security adviser, Susan Rice, unmasked routine NSA intercepts of the Russian ambassador. Was it to spy on Flynn, Rice's replacement? Just days after the inauguration, moreover, Yates used those same NSA transcripts to try to get Flynn fired, by warning the White House that he was "vulnerable" to Russian extortion.

French election: Media warned not to publish hacked Macron emails | 06 May 2017 | The media has been warned not to publish the contents of hacked emails from Emmanuel Macron's presidential campaign.

Armed officers protecting nuclear power stations 'taking too many sick days' | 07 May 2017 | Armed officers protecting Britain's nuclear power stations against terrorists are to be coached by fitness gurus because they are taking too many days off sick. Officials at the Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC) became concerned after the force repeatedly failed to make its annual target on staff sickness. So-called "fitness champions" will now offer advice to colleagues on a wide range of issues, such as how to achieve and maintain peak physical condition, how to avoid injury and even what to eat in order to stay healthy.

Snowflakes gone wild: Ohio middle school suspends seventh grader for 10 DAYS because he 'liked' an Instagram photo of an airsoft gun | 09 May 2017 | A seventh grader in Ohio was suspended from his middle school for 10 days after liking a photo of a gun on Instagram. Zachary Bowlin was given the harsh punishment from staff at Edgewood Middle School in Trenton after he liked the social media post showing an airsoft gun that shoots pellets with the caption: 'Ready'. 'I liked it, scrolling down Instagram at night about 7, 8 o'clock I liked it,' Zachary told WXIX. 'The next morning they called me down (to the office) patted me down and checked me for weapons.' He told WCMH...The middle school student was sent home with a note to his parents about the cause of his suspension Thursday.

 

Blasphemy and terrorism: Catchall phrases to repress dissent | 05 May 2017 | Blasphemy has joined terrorism as a catchall phrase to intimidate, incarcerate and kill critics and political opponents as well as stifle unfettered debate and settle scores. There is, however, one difference: terrorism is a justification for curbing freedom of expression often used by governments irrespective of how democratic or undemocratic they may be. Blasphemy serves not only as a tool for governments, but has also empowered religious ultra-conservatives, frenzied mobs, and extremist groups and individuals...Saudi Arabia and other Muslim nations have been lobbying in recent years for the criminalisation of blasphemy in international law, in a move that would legitimise curbs on free speech and growing Muslim intolerance towards any open discussion of their faith. The kingdom’s ability to further its efforts was enhanced last November when it was  elected as a member of the United Nations Human Rights Council. 

 

Gardasil strikes again: HPV vaccine is to blame for daughter's paralysis, warns mother --European Medicines Agency: Approximately 11,867 reactions to Gardasil recorded as of February 2017 | 03 May 2017 | After suffering an allergic reaction to the controversial human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, Mia Blesky was left paralyzed from the neck down.

The doctors say that it’s all in her head but her mother, Gini Blesky, believes that “the routine jab" is to blame. "The routine jab" is part of the childhood immunization program developed by the National Health Service (NHS), which Mia Blesky opted for back in September of last year. Shortly after undergoing her first dosage of Gardasil, the 12-year old complained about her legs feeling heavy and of a burning sensation in her spine.
