Needed to be Shared

I just finished reading at article at ZeroHedge, "International Citizens Radiation Monitoring Network," discussing the need for and potential value of independent citizens worldwide networking Geiger counters and other radiation detectors and making the data available on the web in real time.

When enough people do this, we will have a citizens radiation monitoring network, and we won't have to be blind or helpless due to the lack of information coming from governments ... we will have the real information.

The article is an interesting and persuasive read, and there are a number of good comments appended to it. One of them, on a purely emotional level, begged to be shared. It was left by a nym known as Jason Bourne.

We are located in North America. I asked one of the our Japanese staff (here) today how she was doing. She looked at me and broke into tears that later became sobs as I gave her a hug.

Her Father, Mother and older brother are in a small town about 100Kmh from the nuclear plants. The radiation there is approx 50 times normal at the moment and while she was planning to visit them in two weeks they have told her to stay away.

I asked her if they were planning to leave the area and she said there were not because her father works in a local gas station and wants to serve. I suggested that maybe they could come here (at least her brother) and visit for a few months until more was understood. She said that her brother had just become a volunteer fire fighter in thier town and was going to stay and that as long as the government said it was okay that they would not leave....

The Japanese are an honor bound disciplined people who trust their leaders and yet they are a democratic country.

Those leaders who know the discipline and resolve and deferment to leadership of their people better be telling the truth. They BETTER BE TELLING THE FUCKING TRUTH!
