From the article: According to a recent article, “Potential Global Catastrophe of the Reactor No. 2 at Fukushima Daiichi,” d/d Feb. 11, 2017 by Dr. Shuzo Takemoto, professor, Department of Geophysics, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University: The Fukushima nuclear facility is a global threat on level of a major catastrophe. Although Fukushima’s similar to Chernobyl Exclusion Zone in some respects, where 1,000 square miles has been permanently sealed off, Fukushima’s different, as the Abe administration is already repopulating portions of Fukushima. If they don’t repopulate, how can the Olympics be held with food served from Fukushima and including events like baseball held in Fukushima Prefecture? For a real life example of how radiation devastates human bodies, consider this fact: 453,391 children with bodies ravaged, none born at the time of the Chernobyl meltdown in 1986, today receive special healthcare because of Chernobyl radiation-related medical problems like cancer, digestive, respiratory, musculoskeletal, eye disease, blood disease, congenital malformation, and genetic abnormalities. Their parents were children in the Chernobyl zone in 1986 (Source: Chernobyl’s Legacy: Kids With Bodies Ravaged by Disaster, USA Today, April 17, 2016). One gram of Cesium 137 the size of a dime will poison one square mile of land for hundreds of years. That’s what’s at stake at the world’s most rickety nuclear plant, and nobody can do anything about it. In fact, nobody knows what to do. They really don’t. http://www.counterpunch.org/2017/02/20/fukushima-a-lurking-global-catastrophe/

From the article: But now we know they know nothing – because the President of the United States of America is completely bonkers, crackers, insane, out-of-kilter-in-the-brain and certifiably over the top. He’s not only a disgrace to the nation. Far worse, he’s a disgrace to the press. So it’s obviously in the national interest that he goes. http://www.counterpunch.org/2017/02/21/the-perils-of-trump-addiction/

With Trump, it is all about corruption, giving government contracts to crooked cronies and ignoring the government requirement of competitive bidding.

From the article: In mid-December, Mr. Pérez received an email from Mr. Trump, which was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, with an attachment showing a photo of a border fence near San Diego. On the photo was a message written in uppercase: “Any interest in building a 2,000 mile wall—30’ high—between U.S.A. and Mexico? Call me.” http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/former-business-partner-speaks-out-against-trump-over-mexico/ar-AAn6vZL?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=UE07DHP

From the article: Last summer, in the thick of the U.S. presidential campaign, a host of news reports noted that Firtash, a Ukrainian natural gas magnate, was the onetime business partner of Donald Trump adviser Paul Manafort, the Washington political operative who’d worked in Ukraine for Viktor Yanukovych, the country’s Russia-friendly kleptocratic president. (Yanukovych, for his part, appeared in the explosive, unverified opposition research dossier on Trump that went public just before the inauguration: He was the Ukrainian politician who was said to have assured Putin that no one would ever trace alleged cash payments to Manafort back to the Russian president.) https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2017-02-16/will-trump-rescue-the-oligarch-in-the-gilded-cage

Myra Bronstein posted the following on Facebook today: JFK vs LBJ Vietnam Policy Differences President Kennedy and LBJ had opposite Vietnam policies. Yet the corporate media consistently spreads lies on this subject. And soon establishment shill Ken Burns will release a documentary on Vietnam. So it’s critical to understand the facts, and anticipate the standard lie spread by their proxies like Burns and Noam Chomsky who don’t want us to know that JFK and LBJ had opposite Vietnam policies and plans. Once we know the truth it points to a motive for the 1963 coup in which peace monger JFK was killed by war mongers. President Kennedy’s refusal to spill more US blood in Vietnam, in spite of the determination of the military and CIA to go to war, is one of the reasons he was assassinated. He tried to do the right thing and he was murdered for it. JFK’s murder marks the beginning of the US’s permanent war machine we see today. 1-PRESIDENT KENNEDY’S VIETNAM POLICY = GET OUT OF VIETNAM: -JFK's NSAM 263 is published October 11, 1963, in which McGeorge Bundy, JFK’s National Security Advisor, states: “At a meeting on October 5, 1963, the President considered the recommendations contained in the report of Secretary McNamara and General Taylor on their mission to South Vietnam. The President approved the military recommendations contained in Section I B (1-3)* of the report, but directed that no formal announcement be made of the implementation of plans to withdraw 1,000 U.S. military personnel by the end of 1963.” -National Security Action Memorandum 263: -The McNamara Taylor Report (aka Report of McNamara-Taylor Mission to South Vietnam), Section I B (1-3), ordered the full withdrawal of all US personnel by end of 1965. Excerpts from Section I B (1-3): “B. Recommendations. We recommend that: 1. General Harkins review with Diem the military changes necessary to complete the military campaign in the Northern and Central areas (I, II, and III Corps) by the end of 1964, and in the Delta (IV Corps) by the end of 1965.” ... “2. A program be established to train Vietnamese so that essential functions now performed by U.S. military personnel can be carried out by Vietnamese by the end of 1965. It should be possible to withdraw the bulk of U.S. personnel by that time.” ... a. The security of South Vietnam remains vital to United States security. For this reason, we adhere to the overriding objective of denying this country to Communism and of suppressing the Viet Cong insurgency as promptly as possible. (By suppressing the insurgency we mean reducing it to proportions manageable by the national security forces of the GVN, unassisted by the presence of U.S. military forces.) We believe the U.S. part of the task can be completed by the end of 1965, the terminal date which we are taking as the time objective of our counterinsurgency programs.” 2-NSAM 273 DRAFION DRAFT SHOWS FOREKNOWLEDGE OF ASSASSINATION PLOT "Perhaps the most powerful evidence indicating that select Senior Administration Officials and Senior Military personnel may have had foreknowledge of the plot to assassinate the 35th President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, is found in the DRAFT of National Security Action Memorandum (NSAM) Number 273. There are several smoking guns, but the one that initially stands out as the most obvious is the date of the DRAFT, which was subsequently signed by McGeorge Bundy, Special Assistant to the President for National Security. The DRAFT was written and dated November 21st, 1963 less than 24 hours before the assassination. It was ostensibly the result of the meetings that took place the previous day at the Honolulu Conference." -Introduction to National Security Action Memorandum Number 273 By Greg Burnham 3-PRESIDENT JOHNSON’S VIETNAM POLICY=STAY IN VIETNAM: -LBJ's NSAM 273 is published November 26, 1963 (4 days after President Kennedy’s murder) in which McGeorge Bundy, who became LBJ’s National Security Advisor, states: “1. It remains the central object of the United States in South Vietnam to assist the people and Government of that country to win their contest against the externally directed and supported Communist conspiracy. … 6. Programs of military and economic assistance should be maintained at such levels that their magnitude and effectiveness in the eyes of the Vietnamese Government do not fall below the levels sustained by the United States in the time of the Diem Government. … 7. With respect to action against North Vietnam, there should be a detailed plan for the development of additional Government of Vietnam resources, especially for sea-going activity, and such planning should indicate the time and investment necessary to achieve a wholly new level of effectiveness in the field of action. … 8. With respect to Laos, a plan should be developed for military operations up to a line up to 50 kilometers inside Laos, … 9. It was agreed in Honolulu that the situation in Cambodia is of the first importance for South Vietnam, and it is therefore urgent that we should lose no opportunity to exercise a favorable influence upon that country.” Note that not only is LBJ is escalating in Vietnam and Cambodia, but also in Laos which had been NEUTRAL under JFK.

David Talbot wrote on Facebook today: Now that Trump has escalated his war on journalists, describing us in Stalinist terminology as the "enemy of the people," there can be no retreat for those of us in the media (no matter what our political orientation). I've been consistently critical of a possible deep state coup against Trump, but just as Woodward and Bernstein worked secretly with the FBI's number two official, Mark Felt (aka Deep Throat), and other government officials to bring down Nixon, I support the ...flood of anti-Trump leaks from national security officials. Trump is such a dire threat to a free press and democracy that journalists must do everything we can to terminate his presidency -- short of empowering and endorsing a coup. These insane times call for an aggressive but very calculated media strategy. More about this delicate media-deep state dance in my Sunday column in the SF Chronicle.

Trump's name appears in Epstein's little black book of persons who flew on his airplane.

From the article: For R. Alexander Acosta, President Trump’s new pick for labor secretary, renewed attention on a salacious lawsuit may not come at a great time. A decade ago, Mr. Acosta, the United States attorney in Miami at the time, played a role in what critics said was a lenient plea deal given to a wealthy New Yorker, Jeffrey E. Epstein, who was accused of paying underage girls for sexual massages. Now, as senators consider Mr. Acosta’s nomination for a cabinet position, the sordid details of Mr. Epstein’s case are set to receive another public airing. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/17/business/alexander-acosta-jeffrey-epstein-case.html
