EPA to Help Mainstream Media Obscure The Truth About Radiation Exposure to Americans

According to PEER...[the EPA]...would drastically raise the levels of radiation allowed in food, water, air, and the general environment. PEER, a national organization of local, state, and federal employees who had access to internal EPA emails, claims that the new standards will result in a “nearly 1000-fold increase for exposure to strontium-90, a 3000 to 100,000-fold hike for exposure to iodine-131; and an almost 25,000 rise for exposure to radioactive nickel-63” in drinking water.

This is just unbelievable. This agency continues to be one of the worst in the federal government.

They LIED after 9/11.
They LIED after Katrina.
They LIED after the Gulf Spill.

And they are lying now...

No accountability.

No truth.

Criminals- the entire lot of them.

While I think it is terrific that PEER filed a lawsuit, what are their chances of success, do you think?

SUIT TO AIR INTERNAL EPA PROTESTS ON RADIATION EXPOSURE PLAN

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has not come clean on its plan to dramatically raise permissible radioactive release levels, according to a lawsuit filed today by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). The new draft standards have been promulgated in secrecy despite sharp controversy about allowing public exposure to radiation levels vastly higher than those EPA had previously deemed unacceptably dangerous.

The plan to markedly relax radiation standards was signed off on in the final days of the Bush administration, suspended by the new Obama administration prior to its publication. Obama EPA appointees are now weighing its fate. On June 11, 2009, PEER submitted a request under the Freedom of Information Act for all of the comments submitted by EPA and other federal and state agency officials to the EPA Office of Radiation and Indoor Air (ORIA) as it prepared its updated Protective Action Guides, which govern radiation protection decisions following releases from accidents or attacks. PEER had received verbal reports that both internal and external reviewers registered grave concerns about the radical relaxation of radiation exposure limits being proposed.

ORIA has yet to produce a single document requested by PEER, months beyond the response deadlines mandated under the Freedom of Information Act. On October 16, 2009, EPA’s Office of General Counsel directed ORIA to comply but conceded that the only way to enforce its order would be in court. ORIA had not met previous self-announced timelines for delivery of documents or promises to provide records on a rolling basis, as they had been cleared for release. Today, PEER filed a lawsuit in federal district court in Washington, D.C. to compel production.

...

“EPA has bypassed open dialogue on how much radiation the public will be allowed to receive in the event of a release, and is now suppressing evidence of internal dissent on these controversial proposals,” stated PEER Executive Director Jeff Ruch, noting that congressional leaders, such as Rep. Edward Markey (D-MA), have been expressing concerns about EPA’s intentions. “Who knew that EPA had a Doctor Strangelove wing?”

I too am outraged but then I started thinking; how long has this been in the pipeline? I mean its like every time you turn around it seems every gd thing thats going on is purposely orchestrated in advance and then they just put the pieces together. This one takes the cake though.

As I've heard echoed here in numerous threads, Americans are entirely too busy enjoying the spoils of victories passed to understand their clock is a-ticking. Unfortunately, while many of us know this, the Federal Government knows it as well. I have a feeling the POTUS could televise a speech explaining that what we thought we always knew about radiation is actually false, encourage us to remain active in our communities, confirm no medical attention is necessary, and we'd just change the channel back to The Bachelor and eat our Ben & Jerry's.

I need to start researching sign that a civilization is about to fall. Wonder if the US would fit. Anyone know?

Yes, just put "fall of the roman empire us" in google

It does seem to be the old "slow boiling" trick ... little by little the establishment codifies increasingly lax standards, quietly, under the table, and at the behest of some cartel or other who's revenue flow is inconvenienced by safety.

Nice timing on this... just as the new 'harmless' 'inconsequential' and otherwise 'benign' radioactive material from the Japanese tragedy disperses over the northern hemisphere, the threshold for compulsory government action is 'officially' relaxed. Liability exposure is narrowed, and the people can resume playing political theater..... or watching the royal pup get married, or bury themselves in the cricket world cup.... "winning!"

Like I posted in another thread on this topic, this one has put me over the edge. I'm not sitting on the fence anymore. This is the last straw in my opinion. I know what to do when the time comes to take sides.

I got to see how the EPA works first hand in 2008, some may have heard of it, I lived 1/2mile from the coal ash spill, where 1 billion gallons of toxic coal ash spilled from a holding pond in the middle of the night in Harriman Tn. 40 times bigger than the exxon valdez spill.

Then after some environmentalist started coming around and passing out info on all of the arsenic and toxins found in the ash, the EPA reps started going door to door saying" boil your water, that should take care of any arsenic ( not kidding ) saying that those other folks are not experts.

the environmentalist came back to take water samples, and setup a yahoo group for communication

Then road blocks with guards were set up and the environmentalist were barred from entering neighborhood.
my white house was covered in gray ash, breathing was hard, but in the local paper we were being told, " the air is fine , the water is fine, it was being monitored by the EPA

then one day I came home to find the water company digging a trench in my yard, to hook me up on city water (for free).

meetings were set up with the environmentalist via the yahoo group,
residents volunteered to have independent air monitors set up by the environmentalist,
word got out to the TVA plant, and within 2 months we were all bought out by the plant.

Dont people understand that the Goverment nuclear regulatory agency is staffed by former private company execs?
That the Nuclear industry is regulated basically by its own people that have gone to work for the goverment as consultants etc.!
naaturally the Nuke industry gets favoured treatment and unbounded co operation in covering up its mistakes and shortcommings.
We need INDEPENDANT SCIENTISTS to over see the regulating of the private corporations whose only end game is money....
Too many corporate officers quietly don goverment smocks for large parts of their careers!
In goverment they tend to favour their own.
The same kind of conflict of interest goes on in many other industry/goverment interactions.
Ceos have actually resigned to work for the licencing of dubious projects from within the goverment regulation boards etc....

Isn't it amazing? Watching the U.S. government try to fudge its way out of the physical realities of Fukushima probably beats the best stage magic show you'll ever find in Vegas. Sure, in Vegas they can make white tigers disappear right in front of your very eyes, but with the help of the U.S. government, they can cause the world's largest nuclear catastrophe to vanish by simply redefining radiation exposure limits.

That says it all. We can't trust the government and now we can't trust the EPA. Basically folks we are on our own and our governments are trying to kill us. All hail for Agenda 21 and Codex Alimentarius.

Get your Vitamin D, and Potassium Iodine out. Ignore the stupidity of the government!!
