☢ Enformable Comments Security Alert ☢

Hi everyone,

This is a heads up, I would like to bring to your attention a "security hole" that have been found over at www.enformable.com in their comment section. It seems that if you make a comment on their site then your email address is also going to be stored on the page you made that comment on.

And because of this, anyone that would want to get hold of the email address you used to make the comment with on Enformable is going to be able to find it.

Now there is also those of you that use a service called Gravatar (it's what connects a picture / avatar with your email address) and that service too can be compromised to get hold of your email address, but that takes some extra manual work. However Gravatar is also used by the comment section that Enformable and many others use on their sites.

So what can you do to protect your email address when commenting on the internet? Well personally I can tell you right now that any form of protection is eventually going to fail.

So looking at the enformable comment section they have the following rules.

On their comment section when commenting it says that:
"Your name is required" and "An email address is required"

However it does not say it needs to be an valid email address, so for now I would simply use an made up email address, or you can create a "junk email address" that you only use for commenting.

I'm giving you these two options in this matter because I really don't think that enformable would change their comment section to a better more secure one. And this is simply because by doing so it is most likely that in the process they would also loose all the comments that have been made. And I don't think enformable would do that. But perhaps if more people put this to light they will make the necessary changes to protect email addresses.

The 1995 Experiment That Could Have Ended Civilization

It wasn't an international group of mad scientists back in 1995 that announced that they will go ahead with plans to activate their latest world-destroying device and try to create miniature black holes that could consume the entire earth and spell the end for civilization. Unlike CERN (Central Evil Research Node) "please correct me if I got the name wrong in the chat", with their Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

Rocket fired at Northern Lights Norway

Back in 1995 the experiment that almost ended our civilization was something quite the opposite and the scientists had no idea that their experiment could spell the end of civilization.

On Jan. 25, 1995, Norwegian and American researchers fired a rocket into the skies of northwestern Norway to study the Northern Lights. But the four-stage rocket flew directly through the same corridor that American Minuteman III missiles, equipped with nuclear warheads, would use to travel from the United States to Moscow.

The rocket's speed and flight pattern very closely matched what the Russians expected from a Trident missile that would be fired from a US submarine and detonated at high altitude, with the aim of blinding the Russian early-warning system to prepare for a large-scale nuclear attack by the United States. The Russian military was placed on high alert, and then President Boris Yeltsin activated the keys to launch nuclear weapons. He had less than 10 minutes to decide whether to issue the order to fire.

Yeltsin left the Russian missiles in their silos, probably in part because relations between Russian and the United States were relatively trusting in 1995. But if a similar incident occurred today, as US arms expert Theodore Postol warned recently, it could quite possibly lead to nuclear catastrophe.

Russian General Calls for Preemptive Nuclear Strike Doctrine

With things heating up with the conflicts in Ukraine and with the pressure from the US and Europe a Russian general has called for Russia to revamp its military doctrine, the military doctrine was last updated back in 2010, to clearly identify the U.S. and NATO allies as Moscow's enemy number one and spell out the conditions under which Russia would launch a preemptive nuclear strike against the 28-member military alliance.

Russia's military doctrine is a strategy document through which the government interprets military threats and crafts possible responses, is being revised in light of threats connected to the Arab Spring, the Syrian civil war and the conflict in Ukraine, the deputy chief of the Kremlin's security council told RIA Novosti on Tuesday.

But within the Defense Ministry there are voices calling for different priorities.

"First and foremost, the likely enemy of Russia should be clearly identified in this strategic document, something absent from the 2010 military doctrine. In my view, our primary enemy is the U.S. and the North Atlantic bloc," General Yury Yakubov, a senior Defense Ministry official.

The 2010 doctrine defines NATO expansion as a threat to Russian national security and reaffirms it's right to use nuclear weapons in a defensive posture, but stops far short of declaring NATO as Moscow's primary adversary and laying preemptive nuclear strike scenarios on the table, a posture unmistakably reminiscent of the Cold War.

Yakubov said the information war being waged over the crisis in Ukraine, where the West accuses Russia of arming separatists fighting the government in Kiev, and NATO's announcement that it would establish a permanent military presence in Eastern Europe have validated earlier fears that the alliance's claims of non-aggression toward Russia were insincere.

The general added that special attention should be paid to integrating the functions of the newly created Air and Space Defense Forces with Russia's land, sea and air based nuclear forces. "In addition, it is necessary to hash out the conditions under which Russia could carry out a preemptive strike with the Russian Strategic Rocket Forces," he said.

NK Underground Nuclear Test 2013 M5.1 Quake

Hello

It's been on the news, leaders have talked about what to do now. South Korea talk about the crazy people up north (did they forget the crazy people in the East?.. Japan).

An unusual geological event was reported in North Korea on Tuesday, 12 February, 2013 at 04:00 (04:00 AM) UTC. The epicenter of the seismic activity, which was only one kilometer below the Earth’s surface, was close to the North’s known nuclear test site. The seismic activity recorded an M5.1 earthquake.

U.S. intelligence officials say North Korea's nuclear test yielded an explosion of "approximately several kilotons." In a statement Tuesday, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said North Korea "probably conducted an underground nuclear explosion in the vicinity of P'unggye." It said the explosion yield was "approximately several kilotons" and that analysis of the event is continuing. South Korea's Defense Ministry said it detected an estimated explosive yield of 6-7 kilotons.

☢ Radioactive Chat - Status Update - April 2012 ☢

Hi folks, I know I haven’t been posting much lately, due to a number of reasons. It’s not like I have been hindered from doing so, it’s got more to do with me. When we are dealing with the Fukushima Disaster in question, and like you know this have now gone on for over a year with little to no effort done by the powers in place to try and stop this. For me having to continually write about bad news all the time really takes a toll on the psyche.

Let’s face it, there’s no good news about the Fukushima disaster to write about!! I enjoy writing and blogging and I have been doing this for quite some time now, I can’t say I’m that good at it but it’s always been a thing I like to do. Along came the Fukushima Disaster and things turned ugly, and then even more ugly..

It would be great to be able to write about some good news from time to time, mixing things up a bit but that’s not the case here. When you have been doing this for a while, all the bad starts to wear you down. And you can feel it, in you’re heart. So that’s one of the main reasons I haven’t been able to just sit down and write lately. It gets a bit much. And I don’t like to write just to write something either, I want to put some effort into my posts and I feel that I rather go for quality over quantity.

But I have to take my hat of to the few of you who have the strength to write and blog about this every day, believe me it’s not an easy thing to do and I can’t imagine how some of you do it living in Japan, being so close to the disaster and witnessing the effects. But I guess that’s what gives some of you the strength to do what you do.

So yeah, my posts have been scares but it’s not like the blog is fading away or anything like that. My intention have been from the beginning to try and get the Radioactive Chat going and have the blog somewhat in the background for storing valuable information and informing people. I have about 200 of you give or take lurking around here daily so I know all the links and stuff like the Disaster Alert Map is put to good use. 

Now while I’m at it I’m going to tell you something I read about a while ago in the local newspaper about what’s going on in Germany. (Unfortunately I don’t have the paper now so I don’t have the exact numbers but you can confirm this with a simple google search) Like you already should know most of the Nuclear Power Plants in Japan have been shut down and if I’m not mistaken they only have 2 Nuclear Power Plants running at this time. And I also have not read a single line of news about “blackouts” or disturbances in Japan because of this “lack of power”. So the Fukushima disaster have had a huge effect on the Nuclear movement. Germany have said they will also leave Nuclear Power and this have sparked many debates over how it’s impossible for them to do that, other countries complaining they wont be able to sustain their energy needs if they can’t get energy etc..

Well let me tell you what have been done in Germany already by ordinary people, taking an hour of their time installing solar panels on their homes.. So yeah I know what you think, how much can solar energy help really. Can’t be much right?

Actually the average solar energy production in Germany today is equal that of 16 Nuclear Power Plants.. That’s sixteen Nuclear Power Plants!! But hang on the total solar energy production is much higher, that equals 25 Nuclear Power Plants!! And this is in a country that’s not considered that “warm and sunny” either.

I have no doubt that if every individual would take the time, 1 hour to buy and install solar panels we would not really need Nuclear Power anymore. If we also took time to make use of the wind and the sea we certainly would not need any Nuclear Power at all.

The warranty on a solar panel today is about 25 years, and it will produce power everyday. Put in a 200 or 400W solar panel and you get that every hour you have daylight. Put in enough solar panels and you’re electric meter will start to run backwards and the electric company will PAY YOU for the excess energy you produce!!

So there is some good news to write about for sure, but when it comes to Nuclear.. It’s all bad. Instead of Earth Hour with you turning off you’re lights, go buy some solar panels and have you’re lights on 24/7.

Fukushima Workers Nightmareish World of High Radiation

This is a transcribed special report from Channel 4 News. You get to hear TEPCO workers with hidden identities talk about the caotic conditions they work in. Along with how some of the workers ditch their radiation meters because if they reach the limit it would mean no more work or money for them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ml5gKbStfY

Now five months after the earthquake and tsunami that devastated parts of Japan, work is still going on to clean up the nuclear power plant at Fukushima. THe man in charge of the plants made a rare appearance yesterday to apologize for the anxiety and inconvenience caused by the accident. The men working on the Fukushima reactor travel from towns outside the exclusion zone. Our Asian correspondent John Sparks, went to Iwaki City were he spoke to workers who claim conditions are chaotic, training inadequate. Here is his special report.

Rocked by the earth and battered by the sea. This is the work of Japans great earthquake and tsunami. The cleanup is well underway and for many here the gloom is begun to lift. But one part of this coastal strip wont submit so easily.

This was a popular beach a great place to go swimming, but few come here now. Just doesn't feel safe, the treat's not posed by the sea. 24 km down the coast a group of men and women are trying to stabilise the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. And it most be the most dangerous work place in the world.

When Fukushimas cooling systems failed a series of explosions and reactor meltdowns tore the complex apart. This the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl. 1000s of workers have been drafted in to secure the plant but they run extrodinary risks.

John Sparks: Tell us what it's like.

Worker: The conditions are caotic, there are no rules. People who come here for the first time.. Well they must be very troubled.

Worker 2: I don't know how to describe it, it's just depressing.

Channel 4 news visited some of the dormitory towns where many of Fukushimas 3000 employees are now staying. They are forbidden from speaking to the media but a number granted us interviews. Describing a nightmareish world of high radiation and difficult terrain. We hidden their identities.

Worker: We don't know when things will collapse on us, and the holes and cracks in the ground are terrifying. If you fall through you may brake you're bones. But if it's 20 meters deep, then you die.

The day starts here, at a former football training complex, before workers are bussed into the plant. The majority don't work for TEPCO the facilities owner, but for an estimated 600 subcontractors. And with so many companies on site some say it's impossible to maintain strict safety standards. We tried to ask workers about this, but we were told to leave.

They are thought how to wear body suits, glowes and masks to protect themself from radiation. But emploees told us their training was inadequate.

Worker: I got 30 min of safety instruction it's not enough and people come here with no knowlage of the operation.

Communication on site is difficult, with about 30 foreign experts in charge of key bits of equipment there's no common language. And their protective masks make it that much thougher. Sometimes workers take them off to speak to each other.

Worker. Few of us speak English or French so the language barrier is higher than expected. We talk to them through translators but we know we are being exposed to radiation while we do it.

Doctor Masahiro Kami runs a clinic where plant workers and locals can get medical care, most other doctors have evacuated. He says many employees hide the amount of radiation they are exposed to by ditching their personal monitors. The reason. If they exeed the limit there is no more work.

Doctor Masahiro Kami: The try to work as long as they can so when they go into dangerous areas they leave their radiation meters behind. The real radiation count is much higher, that's a fact.

We took doctor Kami's concerns to TEPCO's headquarters.

John Sparks: Do you exept that this practice is taking place.

Mr. Hitosugi: Whether it happens or not I think it is necessary to confirm the matter first. However I do not know anything about this at present.

It wasn't easy to hear Mr. Hitosugi who choose the location of our interview, it clashed with a large protest by  farmers demanding compensation from TEPCO for crop contamination. Signs of progress, TEPCOS PR department think so.

They posted this video last night, yet the company is widely misstrusted for withholding information about leaks and accidents. And workers at Fukushima agree, it's standard practice they say.

Worker: I give you an example, contaminated water leaked from the decontamination system, the leak was acknowladge to the press. But the amount was wrong, far more water was spilt.

Our interviewee is refeering to an incident on July 10 when TEPCO said 50 liters of liquid had been leaked. So we asked Mr. Higosugi about this apparent discrepancy

Mr. Hitosugi: I cannot remember what happened on July 10, therefor I don't know the exact details of that. Even if water leaked outside, it is our understanding it will cause no damage to the environment.

There is plenty of work on this chattered coast, but the cleanup at the nuclear plant is different. It can't be sorted into piles, 3000 workers are now risking their lives, some out of duty others for the cash. But it's the men in charge who must prove their worth, John Sparks Channel 4 News in Fukushima prefecture.

☢ Radioactive News ☢ Swedish Nuke Plant In Kitchen ☢

Mon Aug 01 16:39:31 CEST 2011

A few months ago a 31 year old man from Ängelholm, Sweden wrote to The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority "Strålsäkerhetsmyndigheten". The Swedish man was asking The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority if it was legal to build his own nuclear plant in the kitchen of his apartment.

When The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority got news of the letter and the questions asked, they told the man that it is illegal and any handling of radioactive material is illegal without the proper authorization from The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority. After further questioning The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority made the decision to do an inspection of the premises so they could monitor radiation levels in the apartment. And so they did. Police along with The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority stormed the apartment and when test where made they could come to the conclution that the 31 year old man was serious.

No high levels of radiation was found in and around the apratment, but the 31 year old swede was arrested when they found material in the apartment that are illegal to handle without premission. The radioactive material was bought from foreign businesses.

The man told police that he have alway been interested in nuclear physics and particle physics. "I have read many books and wanted to know if it would be possible, I only thought about it as an experiment"

No harm was done and the man was later sentenced to pay a fine.

The story was first reported by "Helsingborgs Dagblad".
