Recent reports indicate that Japan was advised by the U.S. two
years ago to take immediate steps to prevent leakage of highly radioactive
material into groundwater, and that they declined to do so. The proposal to build an elaborate seawall
was scuttled because the vision of its construction might ignite speculation of
the operator’s bankruptcy. Problems at
the earthquake ravaged site have caused tons of radioactive water to leak into
the ocean on a daily basis.
COMMENTS:
The Japanese government would obviously prefer to contaminate
the world’s largest ocean as opposed to being embarrassed by the prospect of a
commercial bankruptcy. Evidently, they
have been taking lessons in emergency management from the United States
Government.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Is the Syrian Civil War still spilling over into
Turkey? (Mandie ~ American Canyon, CA)
A. Turkey says it shot down a Syrian helicopter that had
strayed into its airspace. Like Jordan,
Turkey is experiencing a flood of Syrians seeking to get away from the
violence. In Jordan, radical mosques are
also taking in Syrian rebels and sending out armed recruits to fight with Al
Qaeda. This factor presents the danger
of a Syrian attack on Jordan. Jordan's
King Abdullah II is now asking the United States for help in securing its borders. Since the U.S. considers Jordan to be an
ally, it will be interesting to see how Obama responds, if he ever does.
Q. Why wasn’t there any coverage of the “Million Muslim
March” on Washington on 9/11? (Rod ~
Tucson, AZ)
A. There were very, very few attendees, and the “Two Million
Bikers Rally” brought thousands of bikes to Washington on the same day. The
bikers were honoring the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and
the members of the military called to service after the attacks.
Q. With all of the heat records set this summer and the wild
weather we’ve been seeing, is it really possible we are having global
warming? (Amanda ~ Park City, UT)
A. While I’m not ruling it out yet, a growing number of
respected scientists have been debunking the “science” that the global warming
theory is based upon. Besides, they are
reporting that the ice at the Arctic Circle has grown by 60%. And, my gut feeling is that the country will
have a cold winter this year.
