The myth that Fukushima radiation levels were too low to harm humans persists, a year after the meltdown. A March 2, 2012 New York Times article quoted Vanderbilt University professor John Boice: “there’s no opportunity for conducting epidemiological studies that have any chance for success – the doses are just too low.” Wolfgang Weiss of the UN Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation also recently said doses observed in screening of Japanese people “are very low.”

As Cameron and Obama lick their wounds over the failure of the anti-Euro project they will be eager to consolidate an Atlantic zone including Iceland. Iceland faces a choice between Europe and the Anglosphere.

Iceland appears to be increasingly open to adopting the Canadian dollar as its official currency, with Prime Minister Johanna Sigurdardottir warning over the weekend that the country’s own extremely volatile currency system “can’t remain unchanged.”
“The choice is between surrendering the sovereignty of Iceland in monetary policy by unilaterally adopting the currency of another country, or become a member of the EU,” Ms. Sigurdardottir said in a speech delivered at a Social Democrat Alliance party convention Saturday in Reykjavik.
Last month, a Capacent Gallup poll found 26.3% of Icelandic voters support European Union membership while 56.2% were opposed to the idea.
That leaves the door open to other currencies.

There has been a lot of talk about Greece and how the euro is going to collapse. To debunk this myth, I want to give some statistics. This article is a thesis on why it’s better to own the euro than the US dollar in my perspective. Shorting the dollar (UDN) could be considered. The only reason why the USD is so strong is because it’s the reserve currency of the world.

Why should the West intervene in Syria when it turns out “activists” giving daily body counts, the sole source of “evidence” for the UN’s ever climbing grand total, are caught not only lying, but staging entire interviews complete with fake gunfire directed “off stage?” Why should the US, UK, EU, or the West’s stable of Arab proxy-regimes be allowed to arm Syrian rebels admittedly carrying out their own horrific atrocities? Clearly Syria’s opposition have turned out, just as they have in Libya, to be craven, murderous, and ultimately deceitful extremists – making any further contact with them by the West a direct violation of their own national and international laws.

Call a Georgetown law student a slut, and the liberal universe goes into supernova. Destroy Somalia and Libya, or obliterate due process of law, and the same people just yawn. Attorney General Eric Holder “asserts that the president can in fact decide to kill anyone he wants, as long as he claims that person is a terrorist.” Liberals love the guy.

Western Hypocrisy and the Russian Election. We preach “democracy” and practice oligarchy

Vladimir Putin wasn’t the only one with tears in his eyes as he exulted in his presidential election victory and shouted “Glory to Russia!” The entire American punditocracy, to say nothing of the Brits, responded as one with accusations the election had been fixed, confidently predicting a “crackdown” on “dissent” as the Russian leader resumed the office he had never really left.
