An aerial view shows Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s tsunami-crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant and its contaminated water storage tanks, bottom, in Fukushima. Japan's nuclear watchdog is concerned that more storage tanks at the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant will spring leaks, following the discovery that highly contaminated water is leaking from one of the hastily built containers.

Tokyo Electric Power Company workers have detected high levels of radiation in a ditch that flows into the ocean from a leaking tank at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.

Japan's nuclear watchdog said Thursday the leak could be the beginning of a new disaster - a series of leaks of contaminated water from hundreds of steel tanks holdng massive amounts of radioactive water coming from three melted reactors, as well as underground water running into reactor and turbine basements.

Tokyo Electric Power Co. says about 300,000 litres of contaminated water leaked from one of the tanks, possibly through a seam. The leak is the fifth, and worst, since last year involving tanks of the same design at the wrecked Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, raising concerns that contaminated water could begin leaking from storage tanks one after another.

"That's what we fear the most. We must remain alert. We should assume that what has happened once could happen again, and prepare for more," Nuclear Regulation Authority chairman Shunichi Tanaka told a news conference. "We are in a situation where there is no time to waste."

Ex-pope Benedict says "God told me" to resign-report

Pope Benedict XVI bids farewell

Former Pope Benedict has said he resigned after "God told me to" during what he called a "mystical experience", a Catholic news agency reported.

Benedict, whose formal title is now Pope Emeritus, announced his shock resignation on February 11 and on February 28 became the first pontiff to step down in 600 years.

"God told me to do it," the Zenith agency quoted Benedict as saying to a visitor to the convent in the Vatican gardens where he is living out his retirement in near isolation.

According to the agency, Benedict told his visitor, who asked to remain anonymous, that God did not speak to him in a vision but in what the former pope called "a mystical experience".

Israeli security firm was in charge at Japanese nuke facilities prior to disaster

Ed note - to all those who scoffed at my questioning whether or not the present nuclear meltdown taking place at Japan's nuke facility might have been part of an Israeli intel operation aimed at demonstrating the power of Israel's stuxnet computer virus, Haaretz is now reporting that it was the Israeli security firm Magna that was providing security for the plant prior to the incident.

Israeli firm which secured Japan nuclear plant says workers there 'putting their lives on the line' Magna CEO says Japanese workers at nuclear plant 'projecting business as usual' but says it is 'unclear if they are healthy due to the high level of radiation at the reactor, which is life-threatening.'

The CEO of the Israeli company that installed the security system at Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant said Thursday that those workers who have elected to stay behind are "putting their lives on the line" to save Japan.

Magna BSP set up the security system about a year ago at the facility, which suffered extensive damage after the recent earthquake and tsunami, with particular concern over radiation leakage from the reactors at the site.

The system includes cameras and a warning system, enabling the facility's security staff to monitor anyone attempting to trespass onto the site or damage the perimeter fence. The security system was designed to guard the plant against any hostile elements seeking to seize radioactive material to use in a terrorist attack.

U.S. city's plan for homeless bizarre, inhumane

You know when you read something, but then it's so ridiculous you have to do more research to find out whether it's actually true?

Case in point, a story this week about a South Carolina city which has taken steps to "exile its homeless."

The story suggested the city council in Columbia, S.C., had unanimously approved an "emergency homeless response" plan which will ban homeless people from the central business district and authorize police to arrest any homeless person found within the no-homeless zone.

A hotline will be established for residents and merchants to report the presence of a homeless person to police, who will be obliged to move them along.

Surely that can't be true, I thought. Sadly, it is.

The council of Columbia will partner with a local charity to operate a 24-hour emergency shelter on the outskirts of town, however it's unlikely the 240-bed shelter will be sufficient for the city's estimated 1,500 homeless people. And once someone enters the shelter, they are not allowed to leave the premises unless they set up an appointment to be driven out by a van.

A police officer will be posted on the road leading toward downtown to ensure homeless people stay away.

Seriously, this is happening, right now, in the United States.

Genocide trial against the State of Israel adjourned

Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal

Kuala Lumpur - The Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal, which commenced today to hear war crimes and genocide charges against the State of Israel and Amos Yaron, a retired Israeli army general hit a snag.

To begin with, the Prosecution made an application that, to preserve the sanctity of the tribunal, Judge Eric David be recused for his alleged possible connection with the Mossad, the intelligence agency of Israel.

There have been allegations including from US officials that the Peoples Mujahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI) is supported by Mossad. The PMOI is listed as a terrorist organisation that has carried out terrorist activities against Iran. According to the prosecution, Judge Eric David had written a legal opinion that the PMOI be removed from the list of terrorist organisations.

Amicus curiae Jason Kay appointed under Article 15 of the Charter, raised the point that the allegations were not supported by clear evidence. And that perceived bias does not amount to actual bias. The Prosecution further argued that there must not even be any perceived bias on the part of any judge of the tribunal in deciding a case.

The Tribunal adjourned the hearing to deliberate further and later returned dismissing the prosecution's application to recuse Judge Eric David, as they felt there was no threat of real bias. However, the prosecution disagreed and the hearing was adjourned once again.

Obama Unmasked: The total surveillance state

The president helped end the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy that locked LGBT military service members in the closet. During his 2012 campaign, he reduced deportations of undocumented youth who came to the U.S. as children. But, with few other exceptions, his actions have served the wealthy elite and expanded the attacks on working people pushed by G. W. Bush.

Immigration: The Iron Curtain Border

Obama has deported more immigrants than predecessor Bush. "We put more boots on the ground on the southern border than at any time in our history," boasts his official website.

His "reform" proposal includes more border militarization - to be implemented before a supposed path to citizenship opens up for undocumented immigrants. That path is barricaded with high fines and fees, and years of waiting, with social services denied in the meantime.

His mandatory electronic employment verification system, E-Verify, would require all U.S. workers to prove authorization to work. In other words, it is a national ID system.

Low-income "guest workers," would be deported after 60 days of unemployment, virtually guaranteeing most would be too fearful and desperate to risk their jobs by speaking up for their rights or engaging in union organizing.

The US government is bankrolling the engineering of humans

If you still remember a piece of paper called the US Constitution, you might wonder under what section of that document the government is permitted to alter the human species.

A current Pentagon plan to create a biological platform inside the human body, using it to deliver new genetic information, and thus changing what the human body is and does...well, that is about as outrageous as you can get, when it comes to the violation of permitted federal powers.

Yet, the White House doesn't care, nor does Congress, nor does the Supreme Court, nor does any federal agency or oversight department. It's all right. It's not a problem. It's a "medical" program, you see. And therefore it will help people, and the government's job is to help people.

This is the new version of the Constitution: "the government is here to help you, and anything it does in that regard is legal." Sign up now. Get on the list. Help overrides anything written into the Constitution.

"If the government wants to help me, it's fine. That's what government is for. It's like a parent. If the daddy is injecting me with genetic material to make me better, I love it."

DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) is preparing to launch these genetic experiments. DARPA is organized under the Pentagon, which is organized under the Dept, of Defense, which is an agency of the executive branch, which means the White House, which refers to the President, where the buck stops. So that's the chain of command. The violation of the Constitution goes all the way to the top.

Vaccine inventor & genetic engineer jokes about depopulation & biological warfare

Edible vaccine supporter and head of the Biodesign Institute for Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology, Dr. Charles Arntzen has recently responded to questions about the issue of overpopulation with the following sardonic remarks, "Has anybody seen Contagion? That's the answer! Go out and use genetic engineering to create a better virus [to wipe out the population]".

According to the Institute for which Dr. Arntzen works,

"Infectious disease causes 35 percent of deaths worldwide, and is the world's biggest killer of children and young adults. Our researchers are focused on basic bacterial and viral infectious disease processes as well as the design and use of vaccines and protein therapeutics to combat infectious diseases. These include newly emerging pathogens and potential biological warfare agents.

We are devising new and effective ways of producing advanced vaccines and therapeutics, methods include the use of recombinant attenuated bacteria and viruses as well as genetically modified plants, and transferring this technology to the developing world to help fight diseases. Accomplishing our goals requires the creation and evaluation of novel bio-manufacturing systems for cost-effective production of vaccines and therapeutics and the development and implementation of new strategies for translation of this research into health benefits for the developing world."

False Flag Alert: Rockets from Lebanon fired at northern Israel, no casualties

Onlookers walk past damage caused by a rocket fired from Lebanon into Israel, in Kibbutz Gesher HaZiv, near the northern city of Nahariya August 22, 2013.

A rare rocket barrage from Lebanon on Thursday deepened Israeli concern that al Qaeda-linked Islamist militants are opening a new front for confrontation with Israel.

The Israeli military said several rockets were fired from southern Lebanon, but that one was intercepted by an anti-missile shield and two or three others fell outside Israeli territory. However, Israeli security sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said at least five rockets hit Israel.

Israel's Magen David Adom ambulance service said there were no casualties.

Comment: This is the usual pattern of Israeli false flag operations with rockets landing in open fields and with no one injured. It serves as a good distraction from Israel's likely role in the Syrian gas attack as well as reminding its citizens why their leaders have to be tough and ruthless.

Comment: In the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, it was mentioned that no-one claimed responsibility for the attack. Another indication based on past experience that this was a false flag operation.
