JPM Sees 28% Withdrawal From Gold Vault In One Day As Another 10 Tons Depart

On Friday, when we remarked on the biggest recorded withdrawal from the JPM gold vault, we said: “Something tells us the next few days will see matching withdrawals from JPM’s gold vault, which at last check was officially owned by the Chinese.” As it turns out we were absolutely correct: according to the just released update from Comex, on Monday the infamous gold vault located below 1 C(hina)MP saw an identical withdrawal of 321,500 ounces, matching the record withdrawal, and amounting to 28% of all JPM gold in storage. Adding to Friday’s drop, this means that a record 47% of JPM’s gold has been withdrawan in a few short days: a trend we are certain will continue until the total holdings of the vault drop to new record lows.

This withdrawal means total JPM gold slides from 1.128 million ounces to 816,027 ounces, down from 1.459 million ounces a week ago.

On Tuesday, the operator of the Fukushima nuclear power plant said that over 1,000 tons of contaminated water was dumped into the sea after a typhoon hit the area.

Typhoon Man-yi hit Japan on Monday, causing heavy rains and uncontrollable floods.

“Workers measured the radioactive levels of the water collected in the enclosure walls, pumping it back into tanks when the levels were high,” said a TEPCO official.

“Once finding it was mostly rain water they released it from the enclosure, because there is a limit on how much water we can store.”

The Tokyo Times reported that:

The utility said the rainwater was discharged from barriers at seven locations and contained strontium 90, which can cause bone cancer if ingested. The beta radiation given off by the strontium did not exceed the government’s limit of 30 becquerels per liter, it said.

Tepco said the radiation level of the water overall, including strontium 90, which accounted for about half of the beta ray emissions, maxed out at 24 becquerels per liter.

In areas where water samples were highly toxic, however, Tepco took a different approach and transferred it elsewhere through makeshift pumps. One of those areas contained rainwater that was emitting 170,000 becquerels per liter, far higher than allowed.

Additionally, both TEPCO and the UN continue to raise the acceptable levels of radiation, so just because the government says its healthy, doesn’t mean that it actually is.

This is still small when compared to the 300 tons of contaminated groundwater that has been leaking into the sea every day for years.

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED

U.S. Armed Forces Dropped 388,000 Tons Of Napalm On Vietnam. Napalm Is A CHEMICAL WEAPON

Posted on September 6, 2013 by Ingenious Press

As a psychotic lobby within the U.S. government is willing to thrust our nation into a potential World War III, through fabricated evidence of a small-time chemical weapons attack from the ‘Syrian Regime’, they seem to forget about America’s past use of chemical weapons on a much more grand scale. The liberal usage of the chemical weapon Napalm during the Vietnam War was particularly notorious and caused indescribable suffering.

Napalm was developed in 1943, in a secret laboratory at Harvard University, by a team led by chemist Louis Fieser. It was first used in the later years of World War II, then later during the Korean War and most extensively during the Vietnam conflict, where an incredible 388,000 tons of the ordinance was dropped on the country. Even U.S. soldiers were occasionally victims of misfired bombs, due to the large damage area of nearly 2,500 square yards and firestorms with self-perpetuating winds of over 100 km/h.

One of the main anti-personnel features of napalm is that it sticks to human skin, with no practical method for removal of the burning substance. “Napalm is the most terrible pain you can imagine,” said Kim Phúc, a napalm bombing survivor known from a famous Vietnam War photograph. “Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius (212°F). Napalm generates temperatures of 800 to 1,200 degrees Celsius (1,500-2,200°F).”

Fukushima: Since 2011, 300 Tons of contaminated Water Daily into Ocean

Global Research – by  Russia Today

Contaminated groundwater accumulating under the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant has risen 60cm above the protective barrier, and is now freely leaking into the Pacific Ocean, the plant’s operator TEPCO has admitted.

The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), which is responsible for decommissioning the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, on Saturday said the protective barriers that were installed to prevent the flow of toxic water into the ocean are no longer coping with the groundwater levels, Itar-Tass reports.

The contaminated groundwater, which mixes with radioactive leaks seeping out of the plant, has already risen to 60cm above the barriers – the fact which TEPCO calls a major cause of the massive daily leak of toxic substances.

Earlier on Friday, the company announced it started pumping out contaminated groundwater from under Fukushima, and managed to pump out 13 tons of water in six hours on Friday. TEPCO also said it plans to boost the pumped-out amount to some 100 tons a day with the help of a special system, which will be completed by mid-August. This will be enough to seal off most of the ongoing ocean contamination, according to TEPCO’s estimates.

However, Japan’s Ministry of Industry has recently estimated that some 300 tons of contaminated groundwater have been flowing into the ocean daily ever since the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami that triggered the disaster.

TEPCO also promised it will urgently reinforce the protective shields to keep radioactive leaks at bay. The company has repeatedly complained it is running out of space and has had to resort to pumping water into hastily-built tanks of questionable reliability, as more than 20,000 tons of water with high levels of radioactive substances has accumulated in the plant’s drainage system.

Water samples recently taken at an underground passage below the Fukushima nuclear plantshowed extreme levels of radiation comparable to those taken immediately after the March 2011 catastrophe. The tested water, which had been mixing with ground water and flowing into the ocean, contained 2.35 billion Becquerels of cesium per liter – some 16 million times above the limit.
