DNA
Evidence Can Now Prove Link Between Cancers And Fukushima Radiation

February, 2014
What
if there was a way to establish a direct and provable in court link
between cancer and Fukushima radiation?
In
recent history, justice has been served by bringing DNA evidence into
the courtroom around murders and other violent acts that result in
death or injury. DNA evidence is now a well established science that
provides evidence of a crime.
DNA
evidence is worth much more than even eyewitness testimony. DNA
technology has been advancing constantly, so that less and less DNA
to establish a 'profile'. Nowadays, all it takes to make a court case
and have enough DNA evidence, is just 3 or 4 cells.
DNA
evidence can also exonerate the innocent, as shown in the following
video..
What
is going to be the effect when DNA evidence is established as a
DIRECT cause of cancer and death due to a mega nuclear disaster such
as Fukushima? Here is the landmark scientific study that provides a
mechanism for any lawyer or legal lawsuit against the nuclear
industry.
Hess,
J. et al Gain of chromosome band 7q11 in papillary thyroid carcinomas
of young patients is associated with exposure to low-dose
irradiation. Proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences USA
(PNAS); Link
to publication
"Scientists
have been able to discriminate between the cancers caused by the
radioactive contamination and those that arise naturally. Prof.
Zitzelsberger ascribes the success of this study to the careful
collection, documentation and storage of thyroid cancers from the
Chernobyl region in the Chernobyl Tissue Bank. He noted that this
unique collection of materials made it possible for the team to
compare for the first time tumours from children of the same age and
regional background

This
DNA marker is quite possibly the nuclear industry's worst nightmare.
Any medical professional or lawyer team around the world can now
order a DNA test and have the cancer tissue analyzed to see if it was
caused by Fukushima or Chernobyl, or Santa Susana, or Three Mile
Island radioactive elements, each of which have a unique 'signature',
just like people have fingerprints.
Obviously,
the scientific study above was focused around Chernobyl and thyroid
cancers, but the concept is applicable to any nuclear accident,
including Fukushima. Quite possibly, the same process could be
applied to any tissue sample, from any cancer, in any area of the
body. This is definitely on the cutting edge and any lawyer plus DNA
expert making a case this way will create history.
If
the courts and justices are even handed and really in pursuit of
justice, rather than allying themselves with the nuclear industry
while dismissing most cases brought by nuclear fallout victims, as
has been the case so far, this could spell the end of the nuclear
age. Imagine the effect of bringing in 'fingerprint evidence' that
documents deaths caused DIRECTLY by nuclear accidents....
The
crimes of genocide have been committed. Chernobyl has directly caused
over 1 million deaths already. Thousands of victims have already been
claimed due to Fukushima radiation. But at least now there is a
chance that justice can be sought and found, if not by the victims,
then by the relatives and family of the deceased. All that is needed
is a tissue bank, as was established after Chernobyl.
Lacking
a tissue bank, DNA will last practically forever, if you dry the
tissue or freeze it. Document the chain of custody from the person
who took the sample to the testing person who brings the DNA evidence
from the tissue into court.
Quite
possibly, a family of a cancer victim can sue for damages many years
in the future, if they keep tissue samples of the cancer cells from a
family victim. After all, there is no time limit for justice on
murder, correct?
Another
method that can possibly be used to go after nuclear companies is to
ID the chemical signature of the nuclear fuel that they leak, spill
or allow to melt down. This would be much the same method that the
Coast Guard uses when they go to court to prove that a specific ship
spilled oil in a specific spot, despite lack of any witnesses or
admission by the ship owners or captain.
The
Coast Guard gathers a sample of the ship's oil, and then matches it
chemically to the oil spilled. This is much the same process used in
DNA matching of a murderer's DNA found at a crime scene. In court,
this chemical 'fingerprint' is admissible as evidence. Why couldn't
this be done with radioactive elements too, as they are also
chemicals, just in the metals category?
For
those who want to do something now, it is always possible to sue in
small claims court. A large number of people can gather together and
sue a nuclear company together in one case. No lawyers or special
experts are involved, so the only cost is the filing of the small
claims court fee. This technique has been used by neighborhoods to go
after slum landlords who refuse to kick out drug dealers for
example.
A
whole community could sue a nuclear utility for whatever harm they
are causing (or have caused). The case can be over and done with
fairly quickly. Just one local judge is involved and he/she usually
lives in the local community. So if the people suing present a good
case, it should be an open and shut case.
Since
the nuclear industry in many countries has a legal immunity from
lawsuits, a recent class action to try and get this changed may open
things up on a larger front. Wouldn't you agree that a company that
can harm or kill millions of people should not be immune from
lawsuits?

AgainstNukes "The lawyers for the 1.415 plaintiffs stated
that they have filed a lawsuit at the Tokyo District Court,
describing the case as a landmark challenge to nuclear power plant
manufacturers immunity from liability in nuclear accidents."

The
legal process can have a huge negative impact on nuclear companies.
The San Onofre nuclear plant had a number of lawsuits filed against
it re-opening, after it admitted that many of the steam tubes it had
just replaced were leaking (within 18 months of installation). It is
quite possible that the large number of lawsuits, combined with
citizen activism, plus citizen reporting via numerous blogs and
youtube videos, all made a difference. Bottom line, keep fighting and
never give up. And remember, that there are many ways to 'win'.
Here
is another way that women specifically can make a difference.
"Japanese women have started a twitter account that says; "We
won't have sex with men who vote for Yoichi Masuzoe"! Yoichi is
a misogynist candidate running in the Tokyo gubernatorial election.
He says women can't make good conductors nor composers so they aren't
meant to be politicians either." Yoichi Masuzoe is the candidate
for ProNuke and Restart Nuke Plants supported by LDP.
