THE FREEDOM TO LIVE!

THE FREEDOM TO LIVE! 


President Barack Obama
Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a
certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of 
yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your
wagon to something larger than yourself, that you
realize your true potential." - BARACK OBAMA 

IF YOU WON THE US-LOTTO for, say, $37 
million, what would you do? 

Yes, you'll buy the fancy car (or two), a big house 
(or two), and go on a world travel exotic vacation 
(or two). 

But after that - after you've explored the world 
and bought all the ice cream you could eat -
what will you do? 

Those who have achieved their goals are free to 
live a lifestyle that most people don't even know
exists.They aren't held by national borders or 
boundaries and move freely around the globe 
without the financial limitations and restrictions
of others. The ultimate freedom is to never worry
about where money is coming from. It just flows
to you. 

Occasionally we get a glimpse of this type of life 
when we see jet-setting celebrities. But most of 
those living a truly free life aren't like the 
celebrities, instead they are quiet and unassuming
. They have achieved everything they ever dream
-ed of and now spend their time enjoying every 
aspect of the world we live in and help millions 
of people around the globe. 

The fear and uncertainty that many people feel is 
not relevant to their income stream. Fortunes 
were made in every recession ever to hit the United 
States. As we move more toward an ever-
increasing global economy, new and upcoming 
entrepreneurs have a view toward opportunity - 
no matter where it comes from. The old days of
only being able to attract income in a local area
are gone. Now the world awaits us (you and me),
as Internet access has connected us, 





The Freedom to Live! 


people from all around the world, and opened up 
infinite creative possibilities. 

The principles that I've outlined in Attract Money 
Now will catapult you into this type of life. And it 
all starts with your thinking. You have to figure 
out where you are in your thought process right 
now. What limiting beliefs are standing in your 
way? Where did they come from and how do they
affect you? 

When I read a book or listen to an audio recording 
that really hits home, I take a few minutes to 
really think about what the author said. Do that
now. Are you willing to release the emotions you'
ve attached to money? Are you ready to release 
what you think it says about you? Let it go right 
now. Start at the beginning and make a decision 
to follow every step I've laid out, so you can 
receive the abundance and financial rewards that
await you. 

Start with your thinking. Be aware of all the 
negativity you're immersed in every day. It 
comes from movies, conversation, newspapers,
and negative people. Give yourself a break from
this constant stream of depressing news and fill
your mind with positive, uplifting concepts. Pay
attention to the three thieves and become aware
of how these old beliefs rob you of your future. 

Everyone thinks they understand money. Few
really do. You can step into the flow of wealth
and abundance as easily as you can step out of
it. This is the difference between a life of 
wonder, where you attract as much or more 
money than you need, and a life of struggle and
heartache. Always remember that you can
choose to step into the flow at any point as long
as you want to. There's no magic formula or 
secret decoder ring. Membership is open to
anyone who wants to join! 

I remember a friend of mine asking a wealthy 
person how he felt about taking risks in business. 
The wealthy man said, "I don't take risks." He 
went on to explain that he knows money is like
a river. He simply goes to the river and fills his
bucket. If he happens to spill some water - or
lose some money - he just goes back to the river
and refills his bucket. Where's the river? It's in
 his MIND. 

Please don't forget to give. Tithe 10% of your 
income and then take the next step and give 
beyond what you've ever given before. Open
the door wide to start the flow and circulation
of money through your life. Don't forget that
you'll receive in direct proportion to what you
give - so give a lot! 

Never deprive yourself of the things you want due 
to fear or guilt. Buy that new car or fancy lighter
if you choose! (Don't go into debt or ...



ATTRACT MONEY NOW! 

tap out your credit cards, though.) Life is to be 
enjoyed at every level, even if you don't have $1 
million in the bank. No matter where you are 
financially, the way you spend your money now 
will be reflected in what comes to you later. And 
while you're responsible to dig yourself out of 
whatever mess you are in, your attitude and how
you choose to spend your money will determine
what's attracted to you. Choose to spend in those
areas that give you pleasure and create positive
emotions, while you're getting your finances in
order. 

Asking for help will jump start your dreams. Don't 
hesitate to ask for help on your journey. Ask your 
mentors, as well as those who've achieved what 
you want to achieve. A mastermind group is a
great way to get the support and ideas you need to
get your new ideas and ventures off the ground.
Everyone wants the honor of being asked to help,
so don't hold out and try to do everything yourself.
You'll accomplish much more in less time if you
accept help from others. Asking the Divine, God 
or the Universe for help is also a great avenue to
increase your financial circulation. It gives you
an emotional release and opens your mind to
new and different opportunities. 

As you define your goals, spend time each day 
Nevillizing them. Imagine what it will be like when
you accomplish each and create an emotional 
connection. Hold this connection in your mind and
feel the emotions. This positive outpouring speeds
up the process. The more connected you are to 
your end result, the more focus, drive and 
creativity you'll have in completing it. When you
have your goals in mind, think like an entrepreneur.
See the options all around you to generate or 
increase the flow of money. 

We are social creatures, whom need contact, sup-
port and caring from others. As you grow, you'll 
have the opportunity to uplift everyone around 
you by sharing your experiences and ideals. Don't
overlook this opportunity to help those who need
it most. Remember that you were helped too. This 
will increase your circulation to the highest level, 
and it will allow you to have a positive impact on 
the world. 

EXIST IN GRATITUDE 

Everyday, I take time to say thanks and express my
gratitude for the gifts and opportunities I receive. 
The expression of gratitude is a liberating release 
of powerful emotion that you send out into the
universe. As we've discussed, the stronger the
emotion you attach to something, the more likely
you'll get an abundance of it in return. 




The Freedom to Live! 



Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill, 
As A Man Thinketh by James Allen and the 
Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles, 
are brilliant works emphasizing the importance of 
gratitude. The most successful people constantly 
express their humble and sincere gratitude. 

The value of gratitude does not solely exist for
getting more in the future. Without gratitude,
you'll inevitably be dissatisfied with things. The
moment you permit your mind to become dis-
satisfied with your current circumstances, you'll
lose ground and slide back into your old ways. 
If you fix your attention on the negative circum
-stances in your life, that focus will stop the 
flow of money and other good things that can 
help you. This can be a vicious cycle. Existing 
in a mindset filled with gratitude keeps you positive. 

Whatever we focus on - we attract. Focus on the 
positive and be grateful. Bigger and better things 
will come your way. When you dwell on the 
negative and inferior or the worst-case scenario, 
you're sending negativity out and will continually 
attract negative results. On the other hand, if you 
focus on the positives in your life and express 
sincere gratitude, you'll attract better circumstances. 
This is an unaltered, permanent law of being, that is 
at work all the time. There's no pause,stop or rewind.
You can become aware of the power of gratitude 
and work with it for your personal benefit. Or you
can deny this power and work against it, which will
provide negative results. 

It's necessary for us to deliberately and intentionally
form the habit of being aware of and grateful for 
every good thing that comes to us. Then we have to
continually give thanks. It's reported that Albert 
Einstein said "thank you" hundreds of times a day 
to his predecessors and the Universe, recognizing
the inspiring and creative thoughts that came to 
him daily. Einstein understood the power and 
benefits of being grateful. You can use this power
to fill each day with positive emotions. 

Express gratitude for everything that has come to 
you throughout your lifetime. You even need to 
express gratitude for the hard times, negative events
and bad hair days. Why?Because these were lessons 
(big and small) that you've benefited from. 

In addition to being grateful for what you have now,
you can also send thanks for things that will happen
to you. I call this "Thanking Forward." "Thanking
Forward" is being grateful in advance, as if you 
already have what you want before it shows up. It's
a Nevillization of gratitude! 






ATTRACT MONEY NOW! 


Scientific studies have consistently proven that 
significant achievements are reached after just 30 
days of Nevillizing (or visualizing with feeling the 
end result) a goal, event or material thing. Stop and 
think about what you've done over the past 30 days?
Did it go by in the wink of an eye? Now, I want you
to imagine your goal over the next 30 days and see
the difference it'll make in your life. 

Express your gratitude in the morning often before
you get out of bed, during the day and after you lay
down to go to sleep. All of this will shift the energy
you're sending out, and even more significantly, the
energy you're attracting into your life. It's not a 
complicated or difficult process, nor should it seem
like work. I like to express my gratitude from my
hot tub each evening. It doesn't really matter when, 
where or how you do this - just that you do it. 

If you're not used to expressing gratitude, you may
need to adjust your schedule and set aside a few 
minutes throughout the day to do it. You may even
need to put a reminder up on the bathroom mirror,
kitchen refrigerator or your computer. Shortly after,
you'll do this naturally and find yourself consistent
-ly sending out positive gratitude thoughts. In turn, 
you'll receive astounding results from every 
direction. Do this process intentionally until it 
becomes habit. You'll be amazed at how quickly 
people, events and circumstances will be naturally
attracted to you, as well as how quickly your 
financial circumstances change for the better. 

Gratitude can transform your mindset from focus-
ing on you to focusing on others. As we previously
discussed early on - when you focus on others, you
open yourself up to a tremendous amount of circu-
lation. Saying thanks for everyone in your life and
the events that have transpired work together to 
keep you constantly aware that you need others. 
We're all connected and cherish feeling 
appreciation. 

THE POWER OF NOW 

Have you ever noticed that just about every TV in-
fomercial ends with a call to action? They all seem
to say, "Don't wait, act now!" This phrase is just as
applicable to you. Waiting to take advantage of an 
opportunity is a way to cheat yourself from attract-
ing additional income. Don't put it off or put this 
book down and think, "That's a great idea, I'll work
on it when I have time." You already have time, but
you're filling it with tasks that aren't really a 
number one priority. There's no better time than the
present. 

You're 100% responsible for your life and peace of 
mind. If you don't have peace of mind, you're 
wallowing in old limiting beliefs that are not 





The Freedom to Live! 

serving you. You must get your beliefs in order, so 
that you can attract money into your life. 

All the money in the world will not give you peace
of mind. So many people, maybe you, live in 
financial chaos. How many celebrities or wealthy 
people do you hear about who die sad and alone 
because they never found peace of mind? No other
person can give you peace. Running to teachers and
gurus for answers will not give you peace. Moving 
to a different location will not give you peace.
Peace does not come from outside you.It's 
obtained within you. The answers that you long for,
are already part of you. You just need to understand 
and practice them. Then you will lead the life you
've been longing for. Attaining peace is as simple as
this: Give peace and you'll receive peace. 

By the same token, if you express gratitude daily, 
you'll receive astounding rewards. The key is that 
you are thankful and express gratitude every 
moment of every day. Always turn the other cheek 
against adversity and misfortune. You must wish 
success on everyone else and show them love. 

Many people take the idea of giving to mean that 
whatever they send out comes back like a boome-
rang. While this is true for the most part, it doesn't 
mean that it will come back from the same source 
or in a scheduled amount of time. It only states that
you will receive equal (usually ten times more) to
what you have given. This applies to money, time, 
gratitude and caring. 

How often does a person truly give without the 
thought of getting something in return? When you 
give love, you expect love. When you give under-
standing to someone you expect someone to be 
understanding of you. When you give a gift you 
usually expect a gift back. You may even expect 
that the person you gave the gift to will like or 
respect you even more. Unfortunately, very few 
people will just give from the heart. 

When some people don't receive what they expect-
ed, or more, they have a tendency to feel hurt, 
hostile and even angry. Some twist things around 
and will quickly say that the Law of Attraction 
doesn't work and call it a sham. I feel sorry for 
these people. The anger and hostility are blocking 
their ability to attract, so they have no option other 
than spiraling downward. They will settle for a
mediocre life at best. 

Sometimes you may feel like you don't have a 
choice as to how your life will turn out. You do! 




ATTRACT MONEY NOW! 



One of my favorite scenes comes from the classic 
movie The Wizard of Oz. After the trials and 
tribulations that Dorothy faced on her journey she 
still hasn't found her way home. Glinda, the Good 
Witch of the North, tells Dorothy that she has 
always had the power inside her to get home. All 
she had to do was wish for it and she would return 
to her loved ones. I've always found this to be very 
symbolic of the journey many people take when 
they seek success. They try hard, only to find that it
was as simple as a thought. There is an old saying, 
"To Think Is to Create." This is how you start 
changing your life. You must be able to imagine it.
Then you'll attract the resources for it to come into 
being. 

So begins your journey of ultimate freedom. My 
friend and business colleague Peter Wink is another
great example of this. Peter had been dating many
women for years, never finding Ms. Right. Finally 
fed up one day, he wrote down exactly what he was
looking for in a woman. He wrote down exactly 
how she would look, talk, and carry herself. These 
were non-negotiable and he would never again 
bend on getting exactly what he wanted. He took 
this list and put it away in a drawer. The woman of
his dreams showed up less than a month later. He 
met her at a business meeting that he didn't even 
want to attend. He followed the universe as it gnaw
-ed at him to go to this meeting. They have now 
been together for eight years. It never would have 
happened if Peter had not set his goal, Nevillized it 
and took inspired action. By doing this he was final
-ly able to pick her out. This happens all the time! 

As you go through your plan, you'll reach the goals
you set. Then, you'll set new goals and strive 
toward them. So when do you know that you've 
finally made it? Hard to say. But when you do, take 
a deep breath and proclaim, "I've arrived!" This is 
different for every individual. Some have a 
particular benchmark. For some it's an amount of 
money. For others it may be a deadline. Then there
are some who leave it open-ended and just follow 
their gut instinct. Every time I complete a big goal, 
I set an even higher one. You may find this true of 
you as well. Once you find something you love do
-ing with passion, why would you ever stop? 

I think you will reach an abundant, fulfilling life 
much sooner than you realize once you start on 
your path to success. Few realize that success isn't 
a thing - it's an emotion. We feel successful — 
therefore we are successful. 

There are people perfectly content and happy 
working a mediocre job, raising their children and 
spending time with family. There is 




The Freedom to Live! 


no rule saying you have to be dissatisfied with any
of these elements of your life, or destitute on the
streets, to pursue long-term financial goals. This is 
merely a starting point. You can always improve. 
The path to success isn't about getting to a final 
point. It's about the journey. What will you 
discover about yourself and others as you go? What 
lessons will you learn and want to share with those 
who may one day approach you and ask you to 
mentor them? 

Journeying into an unknown territory is exciting 
and potentially frightening. It's this mixture of 
emotions that can confuse and distract you. Your 
mind will create fear as you strive toward your goal. 
If you let yourself dwell on that fear, it will mani-
fest itself in reality. 

You may have had the exhilaration and excitement 
of performing on stage. Even the most seasoned 
actor or singer can have butterflies in their stomach
before the curtain rises or the lights go out. It's 
almost as if the mind is giving a final warning 
before you get on stage. It's no different when 
you're striving toward big goals. It's scary and 
exciting at the same time. 


REACHING NEW HEIGHTS 


As you reach new heights of awareness and success,
 you'll also find that your life needs balance. It's not
 just about money.Money isn't the main priority and
never should be. There are other considerations like
family, health and your own emotional well-being.
Have you ever had a problem with your inner ear?
If you have, then you know what it feels like to feel
off balance. The world seems to spin and you
become disoriented. Disorientation can feel
exhilarating in the short-term. You never want to be
out of balance. A well-balanced life involves both
physical and emotional aspects. Living a well-
balanced life means balancing your goals while
taking time to enjoy the journey. If you want to live
a fulfilling, meaningful life, you have to make
adjustments and some tough choices. 

It would be very easy to live a balanced life in an
ideal world. What if you could sit down and write
the story of your life, as you want to live it? What
would you be like? What kind of possessions and
finances would you have? What would make you
happy? You have control over much of what will
happen in your life. You're not a helpless puppet
manipulated by people around you. You are able to 
make choices and decisions that will shape your
future. 

In the real world you're tasked with numerous
demands on your time and resources. You may feel
overwhelmed at times. When this 






ATTRACT MONEY NOW!



occurs, you must make decisions about what you
can and cannot do. These decisions are based on
the goals you have, how you rank/ prioritize these
goals and how well you follow what you think is
right for you. 

Back in rougher days, I used to wonder if I had
what it takes to be a success. Now I know I do.
And so do you! I want you to stand in front of your
mirror everyday and say aloud, "I have what it
takes!" 

Trust me - you do! Soon you'll know it too. Repeat
the words "I have what it takes" over and over.
Type them up and hang them on your refrigerator,
wall or computer. Look at them each day and
believe in yourself. Self-talk is powerful, but most
of us talk ourselves down, not up. Be a cheerleader
for yourself. Encourage yourself. 

Embrace the changes in your life with a great,
positive attitude. Read the Optimist Creed every
day. Breathe it in. Commit to yourself that you will
do whatever it takes to attain your goals and live the
life you've always dreamed about. 

Also, remember to stay patient. Change doesn't
happen overnight and this will take time. Don't rush
through your plan. You'll end up skipping steps and
becoming frustrated. Remember that this is about 
the journey.You don't get to the top of the mountain
in one day. You get there step-by-step with dogged
persistence. 

Take time to appreciate who you are today and who
you want to become. Someday you'll look back and
be proud of the decisions that you're making today,
as well as the changes you're implementing. 

Listen and think before you speak. A big part of
learning is to be quiet and let others teach you. You
never know what you may miss if you're talking
instead of listening. Others may have valid input
and they want to give it to you. Let them. 

Don't fear change or uncertainty. Have faith in your
ability to solve any problem that you'll encounter.
Get the facts, do your homework and courageously
move forward. Don't let "risk" keep you from the
glorious rewards awaiting you. 

Wealth is often hiding under what you fear to do.
Face your fears and take inspired action. Dare
something worthy - and begin it today. The result
will be a new flow of money! That's how you
attract money now!

accomplishing great things. You can help yourself,

Fukushima: A Nuclear War without a War

In the light of recent events pertaining to the Tsunami warning off the coast of Japan, we are reposting this I-Book on the Fukushima tragedy, which has been the object of media cover-up and distortion.
Originally published in  January 2012, this study confirms what is now unfolding, a Worldwide process of nuclear radiation.
Note to Readers: Remember to bookmark this page for future reference.

Fukushima: A Nuclear War without a War

The Unspoken Crisis of Worldwide Nuclear Radiation

Michel Chossudovsky (Editor)

I-Book No. 3, January 25  2012
Global Research’s Online Interactive I-Book Reader brings together, in the form of chapters, a collection of Global Research feature articles and videos, including debate and analysis, on a broad theme or subject matter. 
In this Interactive Online I-Book we bring to the attention of our readers an important collection of articles, reports and video material on the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe and its impacts (scroll down for the Table of Contents).
INTRODUCTION
The World is at a critical crossroads. The Fukushima disaster in Japan has brought to the forefront the dangers of Worldwide nuclear radiation.
The crisis in Japan has been described as “a nuclear war without a war”. In the words of renowned novelist Haruki Murakami:
“This time no one dropped a bomb on us … We set the stage, we committed the crime with our own hands, we are destroying our own lands, and we are destroying our own lives.”
Nuclear radiation –which threatens life on planet earth– is not front page news in comparison to the most insignificant issues of public concern, including the local level crime scene or the tabloid gossip reports on Hollywood celebrities.
While the long-term repercussions of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster are yet to be fully assessed, they are far more serious than those pertaining to the 1986 Chernobyl disaster in the Ukraine, which resulted in almost one million deaths (New Book Concludes – Chernobyl death toll: 985,000, mostly from cancer Global Research, September 10, 2010, See also Matthew Penney and Mark Selden  The Severity of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster: Comparing Chernobyl and Fukushima, Global Research, May 25, 2011)
Moreover, while all eyes were riveted on the Fukushima Daiichi plant, news coverage both in Japan and internationally failed to fully acknowledge the impacts of a second catastrophe at TEPCO’s (Tokyo Electric Power Co  Inc) Fukushima Daini nuclear power plant.
The shaky political consensus both in Japan, the U.S. and Western Europe is that the crisis at Fukushima has been contained.
The realties, however, are otherwise. Fukushima 3 was leaking unconfirmed amounts of plutonium. According to Dr. Helen Caldicott, “one millionth of a gram of plutonium, if inhaled can cause cancer”.  
An opinion poll in May 2011 confirmed that more than 80 per cent of the Japanese population do not believe the government’s information regarding the nuclear crisis. (quoted in Sherwood Ross, Fukushima: Japan’s Second Nuclear Disaster, Global Research, November 10, 2011)
The Impacts in Japan
The Japanese government has been obliged to acknowledge that “the severity rating of its nuclear crisis … matches that of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster”. In a bitter irony, however, this tacit admission by the Japanese authorities has proven to been part of  the cover-up of a significantly larger catastrophe, resulting in a process of global nuclear radiation and contamination:
“While Chernobyl was an enormous unprecedented disaster, it only occurred at one reactor and rapidly melted down. Once cooled, it was able to be covered with a concrete sarcophagus that was constructed with 100,000 workers. There are a staggering 4400 tons of nuclear fuel rods at Fukushima, which greatly dwarfs the total size of radiation sources at Chernobyl.” ( Extremely High Radiation Levels in Japan: University Researchers Challenge Official Data, Global Research, April 11, 2011)
Fukushima in the wake of the Tsunami, March 2011
Worldwide Contamination
The dumping of highly radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean constitutes a potential trigger to a process of global radioactive contamination. Radioactive elements have not only been detected in the food chain in Japan, radioactive rain water has been recorded in California:
“Hazardous radioactive elements being released in the sea and air around Fukushima accumulate at each step of various food chains (for example, into algae, crustaceans, small fish, bigger fish, then humans; or soil, grass, cow’s meat and milk, then humans). Entering the body, these elements – called internal emitters – migrate to specific organs such as the thyroid, liver, bone, and brain, continuously irradiating small volumes of cells with high doses of alpha, beta and/or gamma radiation, and over many years often induce cancer”. (Helen Caldicott, Fukushima: Nuclear Apologists Play Shoot the Messenger on Radiation, The Age,  April 26, 2011)
While the spread of radiation to the West Coast of North America was casually acknowledged, the early press reports (AP and Reuters) “quoting diplomatic sources” stated that only “tiny amounts of radioactive particles have arrived in California but do not pose a threat to human health.”
“According to the news agencies, the unnamed sources have access to data from a network of measuring stations run by the United Nations’ Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization. …
… Greg Jaczko, chair of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, told White House reporters on Thursday (March 17) that his experts “don’t see any concern from radiation levels that could be harmful here in the United States or any of the U.S. territories”.


The spread of radiation. March 2011
Public Health Disaster. Economic Impacts
What prevails is a well organized camouflage. The public health disaster in Japan, the contamination of water, agricultural land and the food chain, not to mention the broader economic and social implications, have neither been fully acknowledged nor addressed in a comprehensive and meaningful fashion by the Japanese authorities.
Japan as a nation state has been destroyed. Its landmass and territorial waters are contaminated. Part of the country is uninhabitable. High levels of radiation have been recorded in the Tokyo metropolitan area, which has a population of  39 million (2010) (more than the population of Canada, circa 34 million (2010)) There are indications that the food chain is contaminated throughout Japan:
Radioactive cesium exceeding the legal limit was detected in tea made in a factory in Shizuoka City, more than 300 kilometers away from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Shizuoka Prefecture is one of the most famous tea producing areas in Japan.
A tea distributor in Tokyo reported to the prefecture that it detected high levels of radioactivity in the tea shipped from the city. The prefecture ordered the factory to refrain from shipping out the product. After the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, radioactive contamination of tea leaves and processed tea has been found over a wide area around Tokyo. (See 5 More Companies Detect Radiation In Their Tea Above Legal Limits Over 300 KM From Fukushima, June 15, 2011)
Japan’s industrial and manufacturing base is prostrate. Japan is no longer a leading industrial power. The country’s exports have plummeted. The Tokyo government has announced its first trade deficit since 1980.
While the business media has narrowly centered on the impacts of power outages and energy shortages on the pace of productive activity, the broader issue pertaining to the outright radioactive contamination of the country’s infrastructure and industrial base is a “scientific taboo” (i.e the radiation of industrial plants, machinery and equipment, buildings, roads, etc). A report released in January 2012 points to the nuclear contamination of building materials used in the construction industry, in cluding roads and residential buildings throughout Japan.(See  FUKUSHIMA: Radioactive Houses and Roads in Japan. Radioactive Building Materials Sold to over 200 Construction Companies, January 2012)
A “coverup report” by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (May 2011), entitled Economic Impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Current Status of Recovery  presents “Economic Recovery” as a fait accompli. It also brushes aside the issue of radiation. The impacts of nuclear radiation on the work force and the country’s industrial base are not mentioned. The report states that the distance between Tokyo -Fukushima Dai-ichi  is of the order of 230 km (about 144 miles) and that the levels of radiation in Tokyo are lower than in Hong Kong and New York City.(Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Current Status of Recovery, p.15). This statement is made without corroborating evidence and in overt contradiction with independent radiation readings in Tokyo (se map below). In recent developments, Sohgo Security Services Co. is launching a lucrative “radiation measurement service targeting households in Tokyo and four surrounding prefectures”.
A map of citizens’ measured radiation levels shows radioactivity is distributed in a complex pattern reflecting the mountainous terrain and the shifting winds across a broad area of Japan north of Tokyo which is in the center of the of bottom of the map.”
“Radiation limits begin to be exceeded at just above 0.1 microsieverts/ hour blue. Red is about fifty times the civilian radiation limit at 5.0 microsieverts/hour. Because children are much more sensitive than adults, these results are a great concern for parents of young children in potentially affected areas.”
The fundamental question is whether the vast array of industrial goods and components “Made in Japan” — including hi tech components, machinery, electronics, motor vehicles, etc — and exported Worldwide are contaminated? Were this to be the case, the entire East and Southeast Asian industrial base –which depends heavily on Japanese components and industrial technology– would be affected. The potential impacts on international trade would be farreaching. In this regard, in January, Russian officials confiscated irradiated Japanese automobiles and autoparts in the port of Vladivostok for sale in the Russian Federation. Needless to say, incidents of this nature in a global competitive environment, could lead to the demise of the Japanese automobile industry which is already in crisis.
While most of the automotive industry is in central Japan, Nissan’s engine factory in Iwaki city is 42 km from the Fukushima Daiichi plant. Is the Nissan work force affected? Is the engine plant contaminated? The plant is within about 10 to 20 km of the government’s “evacuation zone” from which some 200,000 people were evacuated (see map below).
Nuclear Energy and Nuclear War
The crisis in Japan has also brought into the open the unspoken relationship between nuclear energy and nuclear war.
Nuclear energy is not a civilian economic activity. It is an appendage of the nuclear weapons industry which is controlled by the so-called defense contractors. The powerful corporate interests behind nuclear energy and nuclear weapons overlap.
In Japan at the height of the disaster, “the nuclear industry and government agencies [were] scrambling to prevent the discovery of atomic-bomb research facilities hidden inside Japan’s civilian nuclear power plants”.1  (See Yoichi Shimatsu, Secret Weapons Program Inside Fukushima Nuclear Plant? Global Research,  April 12, 2011)
It should be noted that the complacency of both the media and the governments to the hazards of nuclear radiation pertains to the nuclear energy industry as well as to to use of nuclear weapons. In both cases, the devastating health impacts of nuclear radiation are casually denied. Tactical nuclear weapons with an explosive capacity of up to six times a Hiroshima bomb are labelled by the Pentagon as “safe for the surrounding civilian population”.
No concern has been expressed at the political level as to the likely consequences of a US-NATO-Israel attack on Iran, using “safe for civilians” tactical nuclear weapons against a non-nuclear state.
Such an action would result in “the unthinkable”: a nuclear holocaust over a large part of the Middle East and Central Asia. A nuclear nightmare, however, would occur even if nuclear weapons were not used. The bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities using conventional weapons would contribute to unleashing another Fukushima type disaster with extensive radioactive fallout.

TEXT BOX
 Nuclear Radiation: Categorization
At Fukushima, reports confirm that alpha, beta, gamma particles and neutrons have been released:
“While non-ionizing radiation and x-rays are a result of electron transitions in atoms or molecules, there are three forms of ionizing radiation that are a result of activity within the nucleus of an atom.  These forms of nuclear radiation are alpha particles (α-particles), beta particles (β-particles) and gamma rays (γ-rays).
Alpha particles are heavy positively charged particles made up of two protons and two neutrons.  They are essentially a helium nucleus and are thus represented in a nuclear equation by either α or .  See the Alpha Decay page for more information on alpha particles.
Beta particles come in two forms:  and  particles are just electrons that have been ejected from the nucleus.  This is a result of sub-nuclear reactions that result in a neutron decaying to a proton.  The electron is needed to conserve charge and comes from the nucleus.  It is not an orbital electron.  particles are positrons ejected from the nucleus when a proton decays to a neutron.  A positron is an anti-particle that is similar in nearly all respects to an electron, but has a positive charge.  See the Beta Decay page for more information on beta particles.
Gamma rays are photons of high energy electromagnetic radiation (light).  Gamma rays generally have the highest frequency and shortest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum.  There is some overlap in the frequencies of gamma rays and x-rays; however, x-rays are formed from electron transitions while gamma rays are formed from nuclear transitions. See the Gamma Rays  for more” (SOURCE: Canadian Nuclear Association)
A neutron is a particle that is found in the nucleus, or center, of atoms. It has a mass very close to protons, which also reside in the nucleus of atoms. Together, they make up almost all of the mass of individual atoms. Each has a mass of about 1 amu, which is roughly 1.6×10-27kg. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge, which is why they were more difficult to discover.” (SOURCE: Neutron Radiation)

“Many different radioactive isotopes are used in or are produced by nuclear reactors. The most important of these are described below:
1. Uranium 235 (U-235) is the active component of most nuclear reactor fuel.
2. Plutonium (Pu-239) is a key nuclear material used in modern nuclear weapons and is also present as a by-product in certain reprocessed fuels used in some nuclear reactors. Pu-239 is also produced in uranium reactors as a byproduct of fission of U-235.
3. Cesium (Cs-137 ) is a fission product of U-235. It emits beta and gamma radiationand can cause radiation sickness and death if exposures are high enough. …
4. Iodine 131 (I-131), also a fission product of U-235, emits beta and gamma radiation. After inhalation or ingestion, it is absorbed by and concentrated in the thyroid gland, where its beta radiation damages nearby thyroid tissue  (SOURCE: Amesh A. Adalja, MD, Eric S. Toner, MD, Anita Cicero, JD, Joseph Fitzgerald, MS, MPH, and Thomas V. Inglesby MD, Radiation at Fukushima: Basic Issues and Concepts, March 31, 2011)
