The entire Pacific Coast of the United States, Canada and Mexico has been contaminated with radioactive particles from Fukushima.
And finally, it is being officially acknowledged. This is really happening…
It is a stark reminder that the effects from Fukushima radiation continually spilling into the ocean have not been abated. The site continues to leak highly toxic radioactive material to this day. Nothing has stopped.
via the Associated Press / CBS News:
“Radiation from Japan’s Fukushima nuclear disaster detected on Oregon shores”
• • • • •
Seaborne radiation from Japan’s Fukushima nuclear disaster has been detected on Oregon shores, researchers say.
Seawater samples from Tillamook Bay and Gold Beach indicate radiation from the nuclear disaster but at extremely low levels not harmful to humans or the environment.
Of course, they claim that it is “safe” because the levels are low. USA Today emphasized the ridiculously minuscule dose of radiation that say, a swimmer would get at the beach – while admitted for the first time that those warning about the spreading radiation were, in fact, correct. exposure:
“Should we be worried about Fukushima radiation?”
• • • • •
The levels are very low and shouldn’t harm people eating fish from the West Coast or swimming in the ocean, according to Ken Buesseler, a senior scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
[…]
Cesium-134, the so-called fingerprint of Fukushima, was measured in seawater samples taken from Tillamook Bay and Gold Beach in Oregon, according to researchers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
Of course, the idea that radiation was reaching California and the West Coast, and that fish were being contaminated by Fukushima radiation from thousands of miles across the Pacific was considered – yep – “fake news” at the time. The alarmist cries of conspiracy theorists and hypochondriacs were just non-sense, jibberish, delusions and paranoia. Typical hyperbolic non-sense from people caught up in an echo chamber.
But now, it is an admitted fact that Fukushima radiation is impacting U.S. shores.
Sorry to ignore and deride your claims, above group of deplorables. Turns out you were right, or at least on to something.
The source in this story, as well as most of the other “big” stories on Fukushima over the past several years, is Ken Buesseler, from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts.
He has been a consistent and authoritative voice on Fukushima, sharply criticizing the government role in ignoring the problem, and shedding light on the vast ripple that the nuclear disaster has caused in the biggest of ponds.
Regardless, the linear thinking about “low levels” ignore the mounting scientific evidence about cumulative exposure to radioactive isotopes and other toxins and free radicals.
What’s interesting is how much different the same Ken Buesseler is portrayed in different mainstream media accounts… where sometimes only half of the message gets through.
While the The New Yorker pointed out the complexity of dealing with long-term health issues that could be connected to radiation, via Ken Beusseler’s comments from 2015:
“Is Radioactive Water Worth Worrying About?”
• • • • •
Whether any of this actually matters depends on whom you ask. “There’s a nuclear-power side that’s very quick to be dismissive and say, ‘Don’t worry your pretty little heads, you’re not in harm’s way,’ “ Ken Buesseler, a marine-chemistry researcher at Woods Hole and the organizer of the sampling initiative, told me. “The flip side are the people screaming, you know, ‘Stay out of the Pacific, don’t swim in Monterey, I’m going to move, tell your friends, this is a catastrophe!’ “ At the levels detected in Ucluelet, Buesseler has calculated, you’d need to swim six hours a day for a thousand years to get the radiation equivalent of a dental X-ray.
The full impact of nuclear fallout, however, depends on more than becquerels, which merely count the number of times per second that an unstable atom somewhere in the sample fires off a particle. These particles, and the differing amounts of energy with which they are ejected, have a wide range of effects on the body. We process cesium like an electrolyte, which means that it is diffused throughout the body and eventually excreted in urine. Half of the amount that is ingested is lost within a few months, which limits exposure.
By contrast, strontium-90, another common component of nuclear waste, is a calcium-like “bone seeker” that becomes concentrated in the skeleton and teeth. Since it stays there for years rather than months, even relatively low doses increase the risk of conditions such as bone cancer and leukemia. From a human health perspective, Buesseler sees a potential strontium leak as far more worrying than a little cesium.
So, as far as nuclear waste goes, cesium-134 is not as bad as strontium-90, but that doesn’t mean there are no harmful effects, and it doesn’t mean that strontium isotopes aren’t affecting the Pacific and West Coast as well – because it has been detected there, and more can be expected to be found:
The biomagnification of the food chain – as low levels of radiation build up in lower life forms and in turn become consumed (and often concentrated) by higher life forms – will increase human exposure in ways that simple measures for exposure time simply do not account for. Its effects will be masked, but not impotent.
What happens to man and the environment when he is exposed to low levels of radiation over the decades and many years that make up his life? What about its impact on DNA through epigenetics? science now knows that gene expression is changed when it is exposed to dangerous materials in the body.
When blue fin tuna that migrate from Japan to the West Coast were found to contain radioactive particles, again, via Ken Buesseler, the mainstream media downplayed the risks, while alternative media sources sounded the alarm – something that shouldn’t be happening is:
While the facts in the report remain the same, Forbes, among other mainstream outlets, downplayed the perception of the problem, and essentially giving credence to that idea that there isn’t a problem at all:
Forbes even published this misleading ‘appeal to conservation’:
And don’t forget Ann Coulter’s claim that radiation is good for you, too.
It wasn’t until 2016 – a full five years after the meltdown – that Japanese officials, and in turn outlets like CBS News, admitted that there was indeed a cover-up, and a concerted effort not to use ‘branding’ and ‘perception’ words like “meltdown”… even though one was underway:
Latent diseases and disorders have a way of subtly cropping up, creating a silent genocide of worn down people suffering from chronic disease and inflammation that gives way to cancers, heart and brain diseases, autoimmune disorders and the like.
That is the biggest risk that Fukushima still poses today.
Ignored since just after it happened in 2011, the authorities have FINALLY officially acknowledged what they dared not admit since the cover-up began in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami that crippled the nuclear power plant and began the long, slow poisoning of the Pacific Ocean, and all the life that is sustained from it.
This is a horror, and the mainstream media as it is, with your interests above all others, has assured you that this ongoing disaster is, nonetheless, perfectly safe. Everything is fine, back to your regularly scheduled program….

Oh, the thought of having millions of democrat refugees fleeing the entire west coast. Maybe those sanctuary cities are the best place for them to resettle.
Interesting how little interest in such a significant topic. In fact, in terms of Apocalyptic, it couldnt get worse. Because fuku just keeps coming and coming and coming. Last few years the rad water is openly being dumped in the Pacific. The decommissioned water storage space is running out. Look at the acres and acres of this stuff and it will continue for DECADES. Unreported is that there is PLUTONIUM in it too. These rads BIOACCUMULATE. Then get reabsorbed into atmosphere as rain all across US wheatfields. It can only get worse, since the pile up does NOT dilute- it trebles.
This is extremely bad news. We were planning to go crabbing near Tillamook bay next week prior to the commercial guys going out. Well, I miraculously escaped Ebola and bird flu. Maybe I will survive this.
Seriously, I am much more concerned for the sea life than I am People, including myself. Not that I don’t think there is real danger but I am reaching an age where something else will most likely get me first. How encouraging!
Let Kali-fornia succeed in seceding!
Fake news! West coasters need not worry! The most stringent environmental regulations will protect the populace. Nothing to see here, these are not dead fish on the beach, move along. It is all make believe. Perhaps all of coastal California can be declared a sanctuary area.

I have stopped eating seafood period since fuku and the gulf corexit ordeals. I do not buy spirulina that is raised in the pacific either. Inland freshwater fish I will eat otherwise fuku to yuku seafood. The fact that they raised the levels of radiation that is considered safe should be your first clue.
Mac, as I recall, Fukushima happened in 2011. Many alternative websites have reported on fish and other sealife washing ashore on our west coast since 2012. So an MSM source is JUST NOW REPORTING ON THIS? It figures. Anon, those libturd refugees ought to just go on and jump into the ocean there. LOL!
This mess is disgusting and why we need to close down all Nuke Plants. Go green. Its not worth it. Check the labels on your food you buy.
its to late for that
Fuk u Shima:
Although there is certainly pollution from the nuclear accident in Japan; there are also other causes of fish with tumors dying in our oceans such as the River turned yellow with gold mining toxic byproducts released by the EPA. An act of sabotage that defies the imagination.
Rockefeller. “…what are you going to do about it?”

I am hoping that all these catastrophic events are just psychological manipulation. Why?
Think. Eating fish is super healthy. Anybody can pick up a fishing pole and catch their own dinner. Eating fish gives you iodine and selenium for proper metabolic function without supplementation. So much for the big profits of the weight loss companies and the supplement makers.
I don’t say it’s a fake news story, but it could be. We’ve been lied to so much for so long, I don’t believe anything. The river could have food color in it. Who knows. There was definitely a Sunami that destroyed nuclear plants. But I wasn’t there. Were you? Could it have been Hollywood film with toy cars being swept away. I don’t know what to believe.
Check out your fish. If it looks healthy, maybe it is.

Why do they radiate food. That seems like crazy Cancer risk. There is a great deal of radiation coming from the sun. It hasn’t killed me yet, and I am a coastal resident. The girls around here are half naked most of the year. They look pretty good. Actually, they look very good. Relax. This is an old story being blown out of proportion, as usual.

They irradiate food to kill bacteria in it, thus you can buy chicken that will keep in the refrigerator for a month, or bags of precooked bacon that keeps for months without refrigeration, but it doesn’t make the food radioactive.
What is coming from Fukushima is the actual radioactive poisonous stuff that kills living things. It’s what they make radiation sources from used in the food industry to kill bacteria or the medical industry to kill cancer.
Ingest that radioactive crap and it will kill you from the insid out.
Low level radiation absolutely kills, but it takes ten to twenty years to kill an adult human. Often only five to ten to kill a child. Fukushima released enough plutonium into the environment to kill every human on planet earth. Luckily much of the plutonium was trapped in glass micro spheres when the plants exploded. That plutonium is lying all over the countryside in Japan. It will get out.
In Japan people are dying from radiation poisoning, but Doctors are forbidden in Japam from putting radiation poisoning on anyone’s death certificate. The Japanese death statistics are just lies and part of the coverup.
I’m not sure which is bigger in Japan, the coverup or the radioactive spill from Fukushima!
Yes, you are absolutely right about the cover up in Japan. It is really disgusting making people live in those contaminated areas.
B from CA
All radiation is not created equal. Gamma rays from a nuclear explosion zap you then and there and then its gone. The spent fuel from a power plant can have a half life of thousands of years. Some of this cycles up in the food chain. In the end the big fish get multiple times the concentration of the little fish and it increases with every contaminated meal. No problem today becomes a big problem a decade later.
Its not easy to screw up an entire ocean but it can be done.
At least if you get one of those fish, you can see what your are eating late at night.
Check it with a rad detector, dont guess on a ulcerous plate of toxic posion, bleached, dyed and chopped (as in fish sticks etc) to guide you.
back when they tested the tuna at 10 locations near america, they told how they did it….fillet fish, burn the bones, then test the ashes for radiation….the way I understand it is you CAN’T just wave that wand…radiation comes in 4 types, and SOME of it can’t even pass through a piece of paper/flesh. so it’s not that simple…look up on when they tested those tuna to see HOW it was done, if you want to understand.
I live on the Puget Sound. As recent as 3 yrs ago our beaches were covered with the most beautiful seastar/starfish! Gone! ALL gone!!! Not a trace except for this year, for the first time I saw 2-3, but noted many more brown splotches in the sand…indicating they were melting!!! NONE! Nada! About a year ago our MSM attributed it to “species dieoff”, but it doesn’t begin to explain ALL!!!
The warning should have gone out 2 yrs ago! I’ve eaten seafood for over 40 yrs, now, NONE!
Nope nothing to see here folks, move along. But.. but why all the dead fish washing up on the shoreline?
u my friend are in denial. i wish this was a hoax. this is the worst disater in known humanity. think of a nuke going off in slow motion under water near the jetstream. it will and continue to contaminate the worlds oceans as the jet stream carries it around the globe. The west coast first… then thru the food chain. It may become airborne with condensation….. look at the current air flow moving from the pacific over the united states….
….and guess where Woods Hole gets it’s funding?
3 guesses……

Tralalalala what do I mean by that… 9___9 HMMMMMMM
So whats a few fish glowing green in the dark between me and you because this is nothing to what fracking will do to the ground water.
What we are seeing is Darwin evoloution in action and those that won’t take any action to stop the government from acting against the will of the people won’t even notice as more and more friends around them die from cancer.
Chickens don’t do well whilst you have foxes around and if they want to frack for petrol then it’s a case of giving it too them in a bottle set on fire or drinking the chemicals that end up in the water table and roots of the plant food you eat and i know this is radical but so is death.
Does age have something to do with this?
If your over 60 why would you worry about small amounts of radiation that may kill you in 10 to 15 years.
Unless you eat a fish that is loaded down with contamination. Mercury is about as bad.
When people begin breaking out with sores on their bodies then the government will say it is bad to eat.
Original fake news reports that radiation poisoning at any level may be safe. If people knew the truth about radiation contamination and had to chose between candles and nuclear power, they would chose candles. There is no safe level of radiation contamination or there would be no coverups or no underground tests. I remember in order to push the first reactors for power they promised power so cheap they would not meter it. How did that real news work out for us? This Genie is out of the bottle for good and it swings a scythe. Its global face hidden by a hood and it comes for you and me but prefers the young. The baby sitting costs for shut down nuclear production and its waste must be accounted for while the plant is in production. If it were it would be so prohibitive in cost the folly would be plain to see. But our society has a penchant to make future generations pay for what we do today. And pay dearly they will. Their wrath will be massive and endure for thousands of generations. They will be the lucky ones. The white, red, black and pale horses are mounted and spurred into gallop. The pale one leading the charge.
It’s not from fukushima.. the cabal purposely dumbed a lot of radio active drums of nuclear waste in that area of the ocean two years ago to kill off all of the ocean sea life, the plankton etc, to use it as part of the oxygen reduction, to kill off the plankton since plankton is what provides most of the earth’s oxygen. The plan I was told by my scientist friend is the plan that the cabalist UN, Rothschild banking family’s to literally kill of the planet and reduce the population by 97%, not 90%, 97%.. it’s that bad.. fukushima is hour cover story.. guys this is why I have been talking like. This for years, I don’t even waste my time monitoring what’s a Trump is saying of doing,instead I am researching how to survive and clear our of my city and where to go.. because like I was told hour environmental destruction is being implemented on purpose to kill us off in mass numbers, this plan was implants by a rogue faction of aliens called the arcing, they are a reptilian race of et’s that the cabal works for. All this stuff you hear David Icke taking about is true. Another race called the Plejarens, pleadians..have been fighting them this is how hour white hats Black Ops military is alighted with to take back control, a Donald us being briefed on these facts right now.. they cannot have a disclosure until that group is defeated.. guys I am not making up stuff here, this is real..
HCKS..
Ooooooooookaaaaaaay, there, good buddy. Did you not get enough sleep last night? I suggest a hot bath, a good meal and a sleeping pill to help you relax and get back to normal. Works for me.
Nooooo. HCKS is not making this up, it’s reeeeeal!
And the headline photo is unnecessarily alarmist, implying that folks in zodiacs out in the Pacific coast surf have to wear hazmat gear. If you look up the provenance of the photo, it is indeed Fukushima related, but right near the site of the spill. The person is Asian.
The true story is scary enough without leading folks to believe that swimming in the Pacific will give you radiation sickness.
HCKS — TPTB also want to take over the Alaskan fishing industry by farming the fish. Especially the wild-caught salmon. Many asthmatics, like myself, rely on Alaskan salmon, specifically fresh wild-caught, to control asthma and other inflammatory diseases.
Farmed fish is garbage and falls into the category of Franken-Foods with the nutritional content of a cardboard box. They want the fish to be farmed, not wild-caught, because TPTB do not profit from that. They profit more from farmed fisheries.
“He who controls the food controls the people.”
I haven’t eaten fish in over five years, not planning on eating it either ever. I still believe the Fukushima event was not a natural event and was carried out by tptb. I read those reports of how radiation is a couple of hundred times normal in many US cities. All a result of Fukushima obviously. They want us all dead and lay awake at night seeking that end.
One way you can eat fish safely and grow a protected garden at the same time is aquaponics. Raise your own fish and veggies without fear of contamination from chemtrails, radiation, chemicals, etc. It’s not that hard to do and you can run it from a small solar setup or home power. Convert a greenhouse for longer growing ability and protection from contaminants. I did this once by digging a U-shaped trough inside the greenhouse and lining it with pond liner. It keeps the water from freezing and takes less space than using tanks.
Let’s ask the Russians. They don’t make science into a political football like the Amerikans.
why bother even reporting it when there won’t be any money allotted to do anything about it -a friend of mine had the best idea, as soon as she heard about the fuku leaks she went out and bought several cases of canned tuna and salmon..
The World Health Organisation said there will be a large spike in cancer rates caused by “lifestyle’! The fact is Fukushima has irradiated the world, but cancers take years to develop and the media and Nuclear ‘watchdog’ bodies are saying nothing.
Where there is Caesium from Fukushima there will be Plutonium and a hundred more isoptopes. Ingest one atom through swallowing or breathing and 10 or 15 years later you’re dead, but not before the medical business and pharma have stripped you of your money. That’s how it has already gone, folks. The extinction level event is a deliberately SLOW on, just so nobody can point a finger.
Buessler is a complete shill, as everyone knows by now, allegedly.
It’s really nothing. We’ve heard nothing but doom and gloom since it happened. The fact that there’s DETECTABLE radiation is hardly cause for concern.
Why do articles like this never seem to say what the levels are, or what they were before Fukushima happened?
Or how many people are actually suffering the effects of excessive radiation, both in Japan and here with comparative exposure levels included?
Seems that information is needed to draw any valid conclusions.
The West Coast has been heavily radiologically contaminated since March 2011. The Fukushima nuclear accident is still ongoing with at least 3 full cores of nuclear fuel melting in the ground. This does not even consider the spent fuel that melted from the spent fuel pools in Unit 4 and 3. The Pacific is contaminated with all of the fission by-products and not just cesium. The more dangerous ones are out there and they do not measure for them or report them. Signs of radiological contamination would be seen in the following way: a large reduction in the bird population; an increase in infant mortality (babies dying in the womb or within 9 months of birth; reduction in sea creature population and deformed species. A good site to gain additional information is this site> http://www.fairewinds.org/. Open each tab and read anything related to Fukushima. Also take a look at this site http://www.fukushimaradiationvictims.net/Environmental-Rights-Sausalito-CA.html.
The bottom line is that it is a massive coverup and everybody, including the MSM is involved. Most if not all colleges continue to send their college students to Japan as part of their Study Abroad Program even though they know Japan is contaminated, all of it is. The coverup is so deep that Japan has implemented a law that restricts the Japanese to report on anything about Fukushima that has not been sanitized by their government. Japan is protecting its image because it is hosting the 2020 Olympics and they need the money. Not only is the water or the Pacific polluted, but the West Coast land and air has been polluted. For me, it is tied to saving the nuclear industry(the USA has about 30 plants like Fukushima design, but worse with 5 times more fuel in their spent fuel pools.)and eugenics.
Smile while you eat the fish and everything will be fine.
