The US' most dangerous nuclear reactor in south Florida in partial shutdown due to steam leaks

Perhaps the most dangerous nuclear reactor in the U.S. is in partial shutdown following the discovery of a steam leak.

South Florida's ailing Turkey Point nuclear power station is in the news again, with Unit 4, one of its two reactors, taken offline Sunday due to a steam leak, according to a Dec. 1^st update released by Industrial Info Resources online. Conspicuously, as of the writing of this article, there is no indication that this highly concerning event has received mainstream media coverage.

In a recent report, Is Miami on the Brink of a Nuclear Disaster?, we discussed the imminent possibility of a Fukushima-style meltdown at Florida Power & Light's Turkey Point facility, only 41 miles south of Miami near Homestead; a reactor so primitively designed that it uses a 168-mile network of open air canals to cool it's ancient reactors (built in 1972), reminiscent of a Medieval moat system.

Comment: The US is littered with aging nuclear reactors, and it was reported that all of them have irreparable safety issues. Worse, there are 15 nuclear reactors on the New Madrid fault line, but you won't be hearing about any of this as the media has been suppressing news regarding these dangers since Fukushima. It might be wise to know about protective measures against radiation poisoning, because you can be assured the MSM won't bother to inform anyone of the dangers posed by such radiation leaks:

America's Children: The trials of growing up in a police state

"It's been three weeks since the flashbang exploded next to my sleeping baby, and he's still covered in burns. There's still a hole in his chest that exposes his ribs. After breaking down the door, throwing my husband to the ground, and screaming at my children, the officers - armed with M16s - filed through the house like they were playing war. They searched for drugs and never found any.

I heard my baby wailing and asked one of the officers to let me hold him. He screamed at me to sit down and shut up and blocked my view, so I couldn't see my son. I could see a singed crib. And I could see a pool of blood. The officers yelled at me to calm down and told me my son was fine, that he'd just lost a tooth. It was only hours later when they finally let us drive to the hospital that we found out Bou Bou was in the intensive burn unit and that he'd been placed into a medically induced coma." - Alecia Phonesavanh, the mother of Baby Bou Bou

After a year dominated with news of police shootings of unarmed citizens (including children), SWAT team raids gone awry, photo ops of militarized police shouldering assault rifles while perched on top of armored vehicles, and reports on how the police are using asset forfeiture laws to pad their pockets with luxury cars, cash and other expensive toys, I find myself wrestling with the question: how do you prepare a child for life in the American police state, especially when it comes to interactions with police?

Do you parrot the government line, as the schools do, that police officers are community helpers who are to be trusted and obeyed at all times? Do you caution them to steer clear of a police officer, warning them that any interactions could have disastrous consequences? Or is there some happy medium between the two that, while being neither fairy tale nor horror story, can serve as a cautionary tale for young people who will encounter police at virtually every turn?

Children are taught from an early age that there are consequences for their actions. Hurt somebody, lie, steal, cheat, etc., and you will get punished. But how do you explain to a child that a police officer can shoot someone who was doing nothing wrong and get away with it? That a cop can lie, steal, cheat, or kill and still not be punished?

Kids understand accidents: sometimes drinks get spilled, dishes get broken, people slip and fall and hurt themselves, or you bump into someone without meaning to, and they get hurt. As long as it wasn't intentional and done with malice, you forgive them and you move on. Police shootings of unarmed people - of children and old people and disabled people - can't just be shrugged off as accidents, however.

Aiyana Jones was no accident. The 7-year-old was killed after a Detroit SWAT team launched a flash-bang grenade into her family's apartment, broke through the door and opened fire, hitting the little girl who was asleep on the living room couch. The cops weren't even in the right apartment.

Better to be poor in Nigeria - teens in Baltimore face worse conditions

RT
Tue, 02 Dec 2014 15:52 UTC

A global study of adolescents from low-income neighborhoods revealed that teenagers from Baltimore, a city located just 40 miles from the US capital, are faring worse than their counterparts in Nigeria.

Many people tend to associate child poverty with desperate scenes out of Africa or India. But according to a recent WAVE study, an international survey that examined the living conditions of 15-19 year olds in poor areas in Baltimore, Shanghai, Johannesburg, New Delhi and Ibadan (third largest city in Nigeria), the problem is much closer to home than many people realize.

In the five neighborhoods examined in the study, poverty was the common thread that linked these culturally diverse locations. Differences among the teens in these urban areas became obvious, however, when it came to how they perceived their state of well-being.

Teens from Baltimore and Johannesburg, South Africa, viewed their communities more negatively than the other locations in the study.

Comment: Notice this study makes no active recommendations for improving the lives of these children. A psychopathic elite would take this study and think "Perception is the key? All we need to do is brainwash them things are better." This worked for a long time, but the cracks in the illusion are becoming bigger every day.

Middle school girl disciplined for refusing weigh-in in front of her class

A physical fitness assessment program is under scrutiny after a middle school student in Iowa refused to be weighed in front of her classmates.

During a check-up in her physical education class, Ireland Hobert-Hochtold told her teacher that she didn't want to take part in the FitnessGram program, a fitness measurement tool her school has used for at least four years.

Ireland's decision landed her in the principal's office.

"I don't feel like it's [the school's] business," Ireland told the Des Moines Register. "I feel like it's my doctor and my mom and my own business - or maybe not even my own, because I don't need to know that right now."

The FitnessGram program, which has been in existence since 1982, assesses six areas of health-related fitness - including body composition, flexibility, muscular strength and endurance, and aerobic capacity. Once physical education teachers conduct tests, they measure scores using the Healthy Fitness Zone standards. School administrators use the reports in letters addressed to parents that explain the importance of physical activity and outline "areas for improvement."

Comment: Another example of interference from the 'nanny state'. Instead of supporting the nation's health with sensible measure like banning GMO's, and having effective food inspection systems, useless programs such as FitnessGram are brought in. Tellingly, the board running this boondoggle is a hotbed of one-percenters.

Outrage on Bulgarian forums: "We turned out to be the same stupid prostitutes as the Poles"

Comment: Putin's announcement that the South Stream project is stillborn and that Russia will concentrate their efforts elsewhere has sent shockwaves across Europe and especially in Bulgaria, which apart from being the poorest of the EU countries also stood to gain $400 million every year in transit fees. The Bulgarian vassal leaders, who have put US interests above those of their electorate of course reject any responsibility, but as can be seen in the blog post below, that is not how the Bulgarian people see it. And rightfully so!

See also: EU losers! Russia scraps South Stream pipeline project, announces major alternative gas deal - Did Putin just poach Turkey?

I decided to read the comments on Bulgarian information resources. You can feel for our Bulgarian brothers. Translated a couple dozen of them. The vast majority of the comments, of course were written in the following spirit:

* * *
Yes, something happened, what I was talking about a long time ago - the South Stream will pass through the territory of the country, which is a more reliable partner than we are! Well, we're a wealthy country, for us 400 million euros... is nothing. We will not even ask for compensation from the EU, you can be sure!
* * *
God, what idiots are in charge right now!
* * *
Are you Bulgarians or are you stupid? We had to fight!!!

It's very simple. To this point we were led by greedy Prime Minister with BSP party. It is a national disaster!

Zillow created 'adult frat house' culture: Lawsuit

Raw Story
Wed, 03 Dec 2014 02:14 UTC

A California woman sued her former employer, the online real estate firm Zillow, after supervisors allegedly harassed and propositioned her for sex and subjected her to what she described as "sexual torture," the Recorder reported.

The suit by Rachel Kremer, filed in Orange County on Monday, accuses supervisors at the company's Irvine office of cultivating an "adult frat house" culture and refusing to take action when she reported the offensive behavior. Kremer also accuses the Seattle-based company of firing her for bringing the harassment to light.

"Privately, Zillow executives bragged that the office culture led to more sexual encounters than Match.com, and referred to the internal office directory as 'Zinder,' named after the dating application Tinder," the suit states.

Kremer began working for the company's sales department in June 2012. Her attorneys enclosed copies of lewd messages she received between December 2012 and her termination this past August.

"I have a great opportunity that just opened up on my face in the 92660 market," sales manager Cody Fagnant told her in a text message. "Call me if you are interested. This is an executive position and won't last long. Haha. Goodnight Rachey."

Comment: We live in a sickening world dominated by sex offenders. Students rape fellow students at educational institutions, police rape people whom they are supposed to protect, and employers rape their employees. The United States rapes other weaker nations with war and destruction.

'Mom, I don't know how to fight': French lost jihadists seek escape route from ISIL

RT
Tue, 02 Dec 2014 00:00 UTC

Many young French jihadist fighters who joined the Islamic State militants have started questioning what they are really doing with them. Their lawyers say they want to come home but dread possible criminal charges, France's Le Figaro has reported.

"If I go back to France, what will happen to me? Can I avoid prison? "- these are the questions young jihadists ask their lawyers and families. Their messages were exclusively leaked to France's Le Figaro newspaper which says that it contacted the extremists' lawyers.

Comment: Did these ISIL foreign recruits expect a picnic or night club when they signed up?! Where are all-knowing, ever-spying NSA and Pentgaon when these kids are getting recruited? Supplying weapons?

Some of the "IS newbies" complain they have been misled into journeying to the Middle East.

Comment: Misled by whom? Can't they give leads to the authorities about their recruiters?

UK: Sexism, harassment are becoming part of daily life for young girls - study

RT
Tue, 02 Dec 2014 16:15 UTC

Girls as young as seven are experiencing sexual taunts from boys, according to Girlguiding UK. The charity says sexism and harassment are becoming a part of daily life for British girls.

Sexual taunts at a young age intensify into sexual harassment during girls' teenage years, the youth charity claims. Almost 60 percent of girls and young women aged 13 to 21 report sexual harassment at school or college.

Meanwhile, 20 percent experiencing unwanted touching, the Girls' Attitudes survey revealed. Under UK law, "inappropriate touching and groping" constitutes sexual assault.

More than 1,400 girls and young women aged between seven and 21 across the UK were polled. The study warns that such experiences are coming to be seen as just "a normal aspect of being a girl."

Of particular concern, more than half of the girls surveyed, aged between 11 and 16, said teachers had told them to ignore incidents of sexual harassment, or dismiss them as "banter."

In the older age group (13 to 21), 59 percent said they had faced some form of sexual harassment. Many don't talk about these incidents out of shame or fear of being bullied.

Comment: Unfortunately, too many young women who are sexually assaulted don't consider it a form of rape.They aren't supported by the authorities that are supposed to protect them, or the people they consider 'friends'. Sexual violence and rape are endemic on the planet with no end in sight. It's gotten so bad in India, people are taking matters into their own hands.

'Functionally obsolete' draw bridge crashes down on mega yacht

Brian Andrews
CBS Miami
Tue, 02 Dec 2014 02:25 UTC

There was no party for a mega yacht called "RockStar" after a draw bridge unexpectedly came down on the passing vessel.

Chopper 4 was over the scene as the ship called the "Rockstar," was being towed from Fort Lauderdale to Miami.

The yacht, which costs a little more than quarter of a million dollars to charter for a week was waiting for a visit from the Coast Guard and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission before it could continue on.

The broad causeway that connects North Miami with Bay Harbor Islands and Bal Harbour is undergoing tests to make sure the locking mechanism works.

Assistant City Mananger J.C. Jimenez said the vessel was under tow when the tow company requested the bridge tender to raise both sides so it could pass.

As the ship passed through, the East side of the draw bridge suddenly started to slip and crashed down on the yacht, taking out part of the roof causing tens of thousands of dollars in damages.

Fifteen people were reported to be aboard the yacht with no injuries.

Incidentally, the broad causeway, which is about 60 years old, is about to undergo a $13-million dollar rehab project which includes replacing parts of the draw bridge mechanism because of past electrical problems.

The city has engineers are evaluating the causeway bridge and what to do next.

As of Tuesday evening, large vessels were still unable to go under the bridge. Vehicle traffic across the bridge was also restricted.

The FWC is investigating the cause of the incident.

Comment: Oh the irony: a decrepit bridge falling down on some ultra-rich's yacht. Sign from the universe perhaps?

Tampa Christian-based homeless program forces impoverished to work for free

Sun, 30 Nov 2014 21:55 UTC

Christian-based Florida homeless program catering to recovering alcoholics and drug addicts has been accused of providing work crews to businesses and local events, then keeping their pay without them ever seeing it in exchange for room and board.

In an investigation conducted by the Tampa Bay Times, New Beginnings CEO Tom Atchison is accused of exploiting residents staying in his residences by farming them out as unpaid labor, including working concessions at Tampa Bay Rays, Lightning, and Bucs games, the Daytona 500 and the Florida State Fair.

Workers who put in a day of work are unaware of how much they are being paid for their labor since their paychecks go straight to Atchison and the shelter.

Atchison, who claims to have a doctorate in theology he earned from a now defunct online school, is currently applying to run Hillsborough County's new homeless shelter with a contract worth millions of public dollars.

For residents who are able to pay, New Beginnings charges $150 a week, or $600 a month, which covers rent and three meals per day.

The program's CEO calls the labor "work therapy," but advocates for the homeless and labor lawyers say it is exploitative, calling it "indentured servitude."

Comment: Another pathological using religion to present himself as a hero only to exploit and feed on humanity. What a sicko!
