What
Is Happening To Alaska? Is Fukushima Responsible For The Mass Animal
Deaths?

Why
are huge numbers of dead birds dropping dead and washing up along the
coastlines of Alaska? It is being reported that many of the
carcasses of the dead birds are “broken open and bleeding”.
The photo of some of these dead birds at the top of this article was
originally posted by Alaska native David Akeya on Facebook. You
can find more photos of these dead birds right here. And of
course it isn’t just birds that are dying - See more at:

As
you will see below, something is causing mass death events among
various populations of fish as well. In addition, it has been
reported that large numbers of polar bears, seals and walruses in
Alaska are being affected by hair loss and “oozing sores”.
So precisely what is causing all of this? Could Fukushima be
responsible? Authorities are claiming that all of this is being
caused by “disease” or “harsh weather”, but are they actually
telling us the truth? Evaluate the evidence that I have shared
below and decide for yourself….
#1 Something
is causing large numbers of dead birds to wash up on shores all over
Alaska. The following is a report from Alaska
Public Media about
just one of these incidents…
Hundreds
of dead birds washed up on the shores of St. Lawrence Island towards
the end of November. And though the cause of the die off isn’t yet
known, the quick response demonstrates a mounting capacity for
dealing with unexpected environmental events in the region.
Scientists
do not know why this is happening. Some of them are blaming
“harsh weather”.
#2 Something
is causing large numbers of
seals and walruses to
lose hair and develop “oozing sores”…
For
example, while skin ulcers and other conditions — hair loss,
lethargy, oozing sores, bloody mucous, congested lungs — are
affecting seals and walruses, it’s not known if the two species are
suffering from the same sickness. And although much studying has been
done to determine whether it’s the result of a virus or radiation,
and no tests have linked these origins to the illness, it’s not yet
known what the root cause is. Toxins and environmental factors, like
harmful algae blooms and thermal burns, are under consideration. As
is whether allergy, hormone or nutritional problems might play a
role.
Once
again, scientists do not know why this is happening.
Wildlife
experts are studying whether fur loss and open sores detected in
nine polar bears in recent weeks is widespread and related to similar
incidents among seals and walruses.
The
bears were among 33 spotted near Barrow, Alaska, during routine
survey work along the Arctic coastline. Tests showed they had
“alopecia, or loss of fur, and other skin lesions,” the
U.S. Geological Survey said in a statement.
Once
again, scientists do not know why this is happening.
Aboriginal
people in British Columbia who rely on Skeena River sockeye are
facing some extremely difficult decisions as sockeye salmon returns
plunge to historic lows.
Lake
Babine Chief Wilf Adam was on his way to Smithers, B.C., on Monday
for a discussion about whether to entirely shut down the food fishery
on Lake Babine, something he said would be drastic and unprecedented
– but may ultimately be necessary.
Authorities
say that the number of sockeye salmon has dropped by more than 80
percent since last year…
Mel
Kotyk, North Coast area director for the Department of Fisheries and
Oceans, said the department’s monitoring activities were finding
one of the lowest runs in 50 years.
Only 453,000 sockeye are
expected to swim along the Skeena this year, Kotyk said, compared to
approximately 2.4 million last year, forcing all commercial and
recreational Skeena sockeye fisheries to be closed.
Once
again, scientists do not know why this is happening.
Independent
fisheries scientist Alexandra Morton is raising concerns about a
disease she says is spreading through Pacific herring causing fish to
hemorrhage.
Ms.
Morton has called on the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans
to investigate, saying it could cause large-scale herring kills and
infect wild salmon, which feed heavily on herring.
“I’ve
been seeing herring with bleeding fins,” Ms. Morton said Monday.
“Two days ago I did a beach seine on Malcolm Island [near Port
McNeill on northern Vancouver Island] and I got approximately 100 of
these little herring and they were not only bleeding from their fins,
but their bellies, their chins, their eyeballs. These are very, very
strong disease symptoms.”
Once
again, scientists do not know why this is happening.
#6 Some
residents of Alaska are absolutely convinced that Fukushima is to
blame for the rapidly declining fish populations. For example,
just check out the following excerpt from a recent editorialin
one Alaskan newspaper…
We
are concerned this hazardous material is hitching a ride on marine
life and making its way to Alaska.
Currents
of the world’s oceans are complex. But, generally speaking, two
surface currents — one from the south, called the Kuroshio, and one
from the north, called the Oyashio — meet just off the coast of
Japan at about 40 degrees north latitude. The currents merge to form
the North Pacific current and surge eastward. Fukushima lies at 37
degrees north latitude. Thousands of miles later, the currents hit an
upwelling just off the western coast of the United States and split.
One, the Alaska current, turns north up the coast toward British
Columbia and Southeast Alaska. The other, the California current,
turns south and heads down the western seaboard of the U.S.
The
migration patterns of Pacific salmon should also be taken into
consideration. In a nutshell, our salmon ride the Alaska current and
follow its curve past Sitka, Yakutat, Kodiak and the Aleutian
Islands. Most often, it’s the chinook, coho and sockeye salmon
migration patterns that range farthest. Chum and pink salmon seem to
stay closer to home. Regardless of how far out each salmon species
ventures into the Pacific, each fish hitches a ride back to its home
rivers and spawning grounds on the North Pacific current, the same
one pulling the nuclear waste eastward.
We
all know too much exposure to nuclear waste can cause cancer. And
many understand that certain chemicals, such as cesium-137 and
strontium-9, contained in said waste products can accumulate in fish
by being deposited in bones and muscle permanently
.
We
are concerned our Alaska salmon are being slowly tainted with nuclear
waste. We are worried about the impact this waste could have on our
resources, and especially the people who consume them.
#7 Something
also seems to be causing a substantial spike in the death rate
for killer
whales living off of the coast of British Columbia…
A
Vancouver Aquarium researcher is sounding the alarm over “puzzling”
changes he’s observed in the killer whale pods that live off the
southern British Columbia coast.
Dr.
Lance Barrett-Lennard says he fears changes in the ocean environment
are prompting odd behaviour and an unusually high mortality rate.
Barrett-Lennard
says the southern resident orca pod, which is found in the Salish Sea
between Vancouver Island and the B.C. mainland, has lost seven
matriarchs over the past two years, and he’s noticed a lack of
vocalizations from the normally chatty mammals.
Once
again, scientists do not know why this is happening.
These
kinds of things are happening further south along the Pacific coast
as well.
For
example, the recent death of thousands of birds down
in Oregon is
absolutely baffling scientists…
Residents
have reported groups ranging
from 10 to 200 dead or dying barn and violet-green swallows in barns
and around other structures where they perch. The Oregon Department
of Fish and Wildlife said the dieoffs appear to be worst close to
rivers and standing water where the birds tend to gather.
The
toll, estimated in the thousands, has stunned Fish and Wildlife
specialists. “This type of mortality event is unprecedented and
considered a rare and unusual event,” said Colin Gillin, wildlife
veterinarian for the agency. “The effect on bird populations is
unknown.”
Some
scientists are blaming these deaths on “harsh weather”.
Do
you buy that?
Clearly
something very unusual is happening, and it should not be
unreasonable to ask if Fukushima is at least partially responsible
for all of this.
Without
a doubt, the Pacific Ocean appears to be a much different place than
it was before the Fukushima disaster. In fact, one very
experienced Australian adventurer said that he felt as though“the
ocean itself was dead” as
he journeyed from Japan to San Francisco recently…
The
next leg of the long voyage was from Osaka to San Francisco and for
most of that trip the desolation was tinged with nauseous horror and
a degree of fear.
“After
we left Japan, it felt as if the ocean itself was dead,” Macfadyen
said.
“We
hardly saw any living things. We saw one whale, sort of rolling
helplessly on the surface with what looked like a big tumour on its
head. It was pretty sickening.
“I’ve
done a lot of miles on the ocean in my life and I’m used to seeing
turtles, dolphins, sharks and big flurries of feeding birds. But this
time, for 3000 nautical miles there was nothing alive to be seen.”
In
place of the missing life was garbage in astounding volumes.
“Part
of it was the aftermath of the tsunami that hit Japan a couple of
years ago. The wave came in over the land, picked up an unbelievable
load of stuff and carried it out to sea. And it’s still out there,
everywhere you look.”
What
in the world would cause the Pacific Ocean to be “dead” like
that?
Where
did all the life go?
Hopefully
we will start to get some answers to these questions.
For
much more on all of this, please see my previous articles entitled
“28
Signs That The West Coast Is Being Absolutely Fried With Nuclear
Radiation From Fukushima”
and “Something
Is Killing Life All Over The Pacific Ocean – Could It Be
Fukushima?”
Meanwhile,
radiation levels around Fukushima just continue to increase.
The following is from a recent RT
article…
Outdoor
radiation levels have reached their highest at Japan’s Fukushima
nuclear plant,warns the operator company.Radiation found in an area
near a steel pipe that connects reactor buildings could kill an
exposed person in 20 minutes, local media reported.
The
plant’s operator and the utility responsible for the clean-up Tokyo
Electric Power Company (TEPCO) detected record radiation levels on a
duct which connects reactor buildings and the 120 meter tall
ventilation pipe located outside on Friday. TEPCO measured radiation
at eight locations around the pipe with the highest estimated at two
locations – 25 Sieverts per hour and about 15 Sieverts per hour,
the company said. This is the highest level ever detected outside the
reactor buildings, according to local broadcaster NHK.
And
every single day, another 400
tons of
very highly radioactive water gets released into the Pacific Ocean.
The total amount of radioactive material in the Pacific is constantly
rising, and because many of these radioactive particles have a
half-life of 30 years or longer, much of this material is going to be
with us for a very, very long time.
This
is turning out to be the greatest environmental disaster in modern
history, and it is very far from over.
A great reaction to this article from A.H. on Facebook
I
watched the weather just after FuKu Blew... the jet stream took the
radioactive cloud across the pacific and up to a hundred miles inland
along the coast of Mexico and all the states on the west coast of the
united states then dumped on the whole of Alaska before it swirled
around and went across the northern part of the United states and
southern Canada... watch it in motion if you can find a record of it.
I watched in horror as one of my jobs in the Military was Nuclear
Biological and Chemical warfare countermeasures... I watched the
president of the United States treasonously telling Americans on TV
not to take precautions! We should have all been told to take cover,
not to go out in the rain, to take Iodine especially the young... etc
etc etc
