Fukushima Radiation Caused 14,000 American Deaths: More to Come. Will Northwesterners Be Sheep or Fight for a Better World for All the Kids?
New York Times Op-Ed by Dr Helen Caldicott:

FOODS to PROTECT against RADIATION
(NaturalNews) "In the wake of the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster it is crucial to understand the protective nature of foods in order to protect yourself and your family against radiation exposure. ... research from Hiroshima after the atomic bomb attacks ...highlighted the protective nature of fruits and vegetables in the diet against cancer."

Children are innately sensitive to the carcinogenic effects of radiation, fetuses even more so. Like Chernobyl, the accident at Fukushima is of global proportions. Unusual levels of radiation have been discovered in British Columbia, along the West Coast and East Coast of the United States and in Europe, and heavy contamination has been found in oceanic waters."Nuclear engineer Gunderson says that the Japanese will suffer one million cancer deaths from Fukushima, and that we’ll see a statistically meaningful increase in cancer on the West Coast of America and Canada from Fukushima. ...– after Japan – the most radioactive areas are the Cascades and Portland."

Autumn 2013 A Windy Day in the Spokane Area
Sunday, October
27th, 2013
Foggy, rainy, with wind gusts beginning about 5 o'clock pm.
A good day to read
Washington Irving’s

Washington
Irving (1783–1859).
Rip
Van Winkle & The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

The
Harvard Classics Shelf of Fiction. 1917.

"...there is a little valley, or rather
lap of land, among high hills, which is one of the quietest places in the whole
world. A small brook glides through it, with just murmur enough to lull one to
repose; and the occasional whistle of a quail, or tapping of a woodpecker, is
almost the only sound that ever breaks in upon the uniform tranquillity."
 |
| Autumn on the Hudson River Jasper Francis Cropsey 1860 |
If ever I should wish for a retreat,
whither I might steal from the world and its distractions, and dream quietly away the remnant of a troubled life, I know of none more promising than this little valley.

STOP the Torture of Our Wolves: The US Fish and Wildlife Service public comment period on wolf delisting is closing Oct 28, 2013.
"Delisting the wolf from Endangered Species status will not only cause more and worse slaughter of wolves, but is evidence of the complete unecological 'management' practices of the federal government and their bid to turn these practices over to the states."
Please remember that The US Fish and Wildlife Service public comment period on wolf delisting is closing Oct 28, 2013. Sign as many petitions as you can (http://www.change.org/
and also consider commenting online at http://www.fws.gov/home/
Delisting the wolf from Endangered Species status will not only cause more and worse slaughter of wolves, but is evidence of the complete unecological 'management' practices of the federal government and their bid to turn these practices over to the states. This would be disastrous for the recovery of the wolf in the the US, a tragedy of such import that we cannot imagine the breadth of its significance yet. Imagine a world without wolves. How barren and empty that world would be.
Please sign, please speak out. This must not happen.
Thank you, Carol

Spokane Incinerator: Public Hearing October 08, 2013 5:30 pm Public Works Building 1026 W. Broadway, by the Courthouse
Incinerator Information : Ways to Stop Burning Poisons into Our Air.
SPEAK OUT NOW
To Burn or not to Burn....Yes, it is deja vu all over again!
For over twenty years Spokane has been burning trash and spewing the poisonous air out over our community. Now that the contract binding us to this albatross is coming to a close at the end of this year, the city wants to make a deal with the county to continue turning trash into exhaust laden with mercury, lead, cadmium, dioxin, fluoride, greenhouse gas and other hazardous chemicals...all for us to inhale! Why? Because they now own the plant and can make the profit and a utility tax to boot!
Now is your chance to influence what happens in 2014. Demand that your county commissioners turn away from incineration and support taking our trash to the landfill instead of the toxic ash.
Here's how to make your voice heard:
Attend the Public Hearing:
October 8, 5:30pm
Public Works Bldg. Lower Level Hearings Room
1026 W. Broadway (just west of the courthouse)
Spokane, Wa
FILL OUT THE YELLOW SLIP EVEN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SPEAK SO YOUR COMMENTS WILL GO INTO A WRITTEN RECORD AS SUPPORTING 3A AS THE PREFERRED OPTION.
TELL THE COMMISSIONERS NOT TO GIVE IN TO CITY GREED BY BURNING TRASH. LET'S START FRESH AND HAVE A REGIONAL SYSTEM THAT REDUCES, REUSES AND RECYCLES AND TAKES WHAT IS LEFT TO THE LANDFILL INSTEAD OF HAULING TOXIC ASH FROM A TRASH BURNER!
IF YOU CAN COME, PLEASE DO---BODIES MATTER.
IF YOU CAN'T THEN PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL OR CALL WITH YOUR OPPOSITION TO BURNING AND DESIRE FOR THEM TO CHOOSE THE LEAST EXPENSIVE LONG HAUL OPTION (3A).
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CONTACT INFO:
Todd Mielke - tmielke@spokanecounty.org
Shelly O' Quinn - soquinn@spokaneounty.org
Al French - afrench@spokanecounty.org
PLEASE ALSO EMAIL THE CITY COUNCIL AND LET THEM KNOW IT IS TIME TO STOP BURNING TRASH. LET'S CATCH UP WITH THE MODERN WORLD AND HANDLE TRASH RESPONSIBLY!
The message:
Stop contributing to climate change and polluted air shut the burner down now!

US Fish and Wildlife Service Comment Period on Delisting Wolves: October 28, 2013.
http://www.thewildlifenews.com/category/wolves/delisting/
"...the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service just extended the comment period on the proposed wolf delisting to Oct. 28..."
  Would you pay $19 to kill a wolf? |
Dear Center Supporter,
Breaking news: The anti-wolf zealots are losing ground.
After weeks of intense pressure from the Center for Biological Diversity and other groups, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service just admitted to excluding key wolf experts from the scientific analysis of its infamous, nationwide wolf-delisting plan. The Service has dissolved its hand-picked panel and turned over the entire review process to an independent research institute. Now the nation's top wolf scientists --once improperly disqualified for questioning the Service's proposal to delist wolves -- will be reconsidered as candidates for the review panel.
This is a victory in our fight to keep federal protections for gray wolves -- but another battle is raging in the northern Rockies and Great Lakes. The wolf-killing season is starting, and hunters and trappers are lining up by the thousands.
In case you missed my last email, the Center urgently needs 6,000 wolf heroes to counter 6,000 wolf killers in Montana. Will you help now by giving to our Wolf Defense Fund and become a hero for these beleaguered animals?
In Montana 6,000 people just paid $19 to kill a wolf. Selling cheap $19 wolf tags to 6,000 people is an atrocity, because Montana only has 625 wolves left after last year's killing season. Not satisfied with the massacre, the state has lined up 10 times as many rifles as there are wolves to finish the job.
I'm writing today because the Center for Biological Diversity needs help balancing the odds. We need 6,000 wolf heroes to donate to our Wolf Defense Fund to ensure that federal protections are not stripped from all wolves across the country.
By donating, you'll help stop the killing and send Montana a powerful message that a wolf's life is worth far more than $19.
We can't let these extermination practices spread nationwide. Wolf haters are putting up money to wipe out wolves. Wolf supporters need to do the same if we're going to stop the killing.
That's why we're asking for 6,000 people to donate to our Wolf Defense Fund to keep wolves federally protected. Please give as generously as you can, and pass this appeal on to your friends.
With your help, we can counter the 6,000 wolf killers with 6,000 wolf supporters.
When it comes to wolf protection, the Center's lawyers and activists know how to get the job done. Oregon’s wolves now have more protections because of a lawsuit the Center and allies filed in 2011; last month we won a decade-long battle to improve federal protection standards for wolves in New Mexico and Arizona; and because of our work, California is on its way to placing wolves on its highly protective state endangered species list.
With your help, we'll stop the federal government's plan to strip protection from all wolves nationwide. We'll secure a future for wolves in California, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Colorado and the Northeast. And we'll pressure Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and the Great Lake states to stop indiscriminate killing.
Don't let Montana's killing spree spread. Become one of 6,000 wolf heroes and give to our Wolf Defense Fund today. With your help we can stop the mass deaths.
For the wolves,
 |
|
P.S. Because the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service just extended the comment period on the proposed wolf delisting to Oct. 28, we're organizing large turnouts and street protests at all the public hearings. Your donation to the Wolf Defense Fund will pay for this work and for us to go to court to stop the killing. Please give today.

Washington State ACA Website Down on First Day, October 01, 2013
The government store shopping center for required purchasing of insurance
Our government is our servant.
We must prevent this situation. Servants do not require their employers to purchase anything.
Especially when the servants have exempted themselves, making laws for US and not for them.
This insurance may be negated by the government shut-down, lawsuits, and public comments.
Whatever your opinion, We the People have a right and duty to discuss these issues with our servants.

Tracking the first day of the Affordable Care Act
It’s finally here — the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, launches today. By March, everyone must have health insurance or pay a penalty. Most people who currently have insurance provided by their employer won’t be affected.
In Washington state, the insurance-exchange marketplace opened this morning as the Washington Healthplanfinder, a one-stop shopping site to help people find health insurance.
