Radiation readings are rising in area adjacent to the plant. . . :spooked:

according to the POTUS there are no radiation leaks....

You're not trying to contradict anything I am saying? Okay. . .

I'm glad you watched the POTUS, as I myself did, and hope you were paying attention to his factual statements surrounding the status of oil production and consumption in this country.

I did "listen" to him, as I am doing my job.

I'm not convinced they are "factual" statements surrounding the status of oil production and consumption in this country..but, I did hear them and find them interesting.  He HAS been known to not always have his facts correct...so, I'm not all giddy, and ready to declare his statements as FACTS.

Quote. . .U.S. President Barack Obama said Friday that Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan told him there was no evidence so far of radiation leaks from nuclear reactors due to the earthquake and tsunami, an assertion also made by Edano earlier in the day.
Yet Edano said the Fukushima Daiichi reactor "remains at a high temperature," because it "cannot cool down." The Kyodo agency reported Friday that the radiation level was rising in a turbine building at the plant.
That plant and three others were shut down following the quake, after Japan declared a state of atomic power emergency. . .

1 USN Aircraft carrier already on site, 2 in route as well as support vessels. All at official Japanese request.

The nuclear plant mentioned above is presently the target of at least one mission US forces have been tasked with; to carry in cooling water for the targeted facility in order to attempt to prevent an environmental release. (Cooling water sources normally used for this task have been rendered inoperable due to the massive electricity shortages driven by the tsunami)

Nothing he stated should have come as a surprise to you. It is all information I and others have been stating since the Gulf Oil crises. . . And the resources necessary to confirm it all are contained in that topic.  :yes:

Check out the video of the massive whirlpool off the coast of Japan.

SPECULATION:

Historically, when we've seen whirlpools like this form in connection with a seismic even, they are indicative of a HUGE shift downward of one of the oceanic plates sub-surface. My point in making this speculative statement is that such shifts are typically associated with tremendous pressures being transferred along those plate lines, globally, which in turn translates into increased pressures along fault lines and plate lines around the world. While this incident is a the release of pressure in the area it occurred in, it also represents increase(s) elsewhere in the world.

I wonder where we'll see it next? Logically it will begin in areas logistically close to the area at first, (Mount Fuji eruption?), but odds are it will not stop there. . . (For every action there is an equal opposite reaction). . . :spooked: :spooked: :spooked:

A 6.6 just hit Nagano Japan, 200 miles from the first one.  :spooked:

And this is a different plate than the one that shook this morning. . .  (IIRC) :spooked:

two reactors in that Nagano area....also, that quake was 12 miles below the surface.

This will help provide a little perspective surrounding where these two quakes, (and several others), have occurred in Japan today. Note that the one to the left of the map (in red) is the one from Nagano, and it is in a geographically different area compared to the rest of the activity:

Thats some serious shaking!  :yes:

A couple of facts surfacing from the media (NOT CONFIRMED yet)

Radiation coming from the out of control reactor is said to be 1,000 times normal levels.

Tsunami now said to be impacting Easter Island off coast of Chili . . .

Some of the live video feeds now coming in at sunrise in Japan are shocking to say the least. In addition to the damage inflicted by the EQ and tsunami, there is standing water that is going nowhere due to Japan's elevation. . . How utterly horrible and sad!  :spooked: :spooked: :spooked:
