JUST WHEN I THINK I'VE SEEN-or-HEARD ALL THE STUPID PANDERING TO MISOGYNIST MENZ I SEE THIS, SOMEONE BEAM ME UP NOW!!!

THE PANDERING TO MISOGYNIST 'FEMALE' SURVIVOR WHO WORRIES ABOUT, KID YOU NOT, "HOW TO STILL HAVE A BRAZILIAN SHAVE WHEN THE SHIT HITS THE FAN" like, WTF, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME?

GONNA GIVE IT TO YOU STRAIGHT, FROM DE STREETS, FROM HAVING LIVED ON THE STREETS--THE PORN ''DUMBING''DOWN OF WOMEN IS DANGEROUS TO US ALL AND HERE IS WHY--TALKING STREET LINGO HERE SO MAY NOT BE READER FRIENDLY

I thought I heard it all, I mean, I've heard some dumb ass shit come out of mouths of women who still pander to menz [I swear they all got to be either amorous or Very young, wait till they have a few kids, abandoned, beaten, raped, married to a lazy ass for couple of years, That shit will change...but Then, I don't know, some of the comments these women make on boards, even I wasn't That stupid in my young years and I was pretty damn dumb and I do mean Dumb], and it seems to be, in my opinion, getting a Hell of a lot worse.

And not to somewhat gentlemen menz, you know the kind who fake it well, act all nice to the ladies but are still misogynist asswipes, NO, these women, and I kid you not, are fawning All over menz who blatantly make crude remarks to them and about them--on Public boards, on issues that Should be serious, and That is what I just can't get over--you see I grew up half of my life in the South, and so I can of understand how that culture works but Even then, crying out loud, some of the more conservative women would have had a bit more sense--it Must be something in the damn water.  So, anyhow so I'm reading the board, GLP on the latest radioactive news, Libya, etc., just to get quick morning what's going on doom wise, because you see Doom Addicts tend to keep watch on Every type of Doom out there, from Solar Flares to Comets to Earthquakes to Wars, etc., Finance-- better than average media so I can find out things going on around the world about two hours before it's on the news...of course you have to weed through the religiotard, neo-con, alien worship, 

neo-nazi, annukaki or what the hell they call them, Weirdo threads and comments, though the one about 'smoking will prevent radiation poisoning Was worth a laugh or two, got to admit', but once you weed through the mega B.S. and Debunk through all of That, you can sort of find where to look News wise then do your own research there--or from there, that is, While of course, laughing your ass off as some of the most stupid and asinine comments out there--those that don't send you spiraling down the rage channel, which many of them, do Because not two or three posts down and Boom, you got Mr Misogynist or Worse, Ms Misogynist panderer, with some crock eyed post comment and well That's when I know end of the news run for GLP at least for a couple of hours--on slow non-Doom weeks it's not even worth going out there, 

but anyway...yea Doom is addicting, hate to say it, but I'm the type I like to know what's going on, especially with solar flares and natural events such as tectonic plates shifting, etc.  [science oriented] And usually, with a bit of further research it's about half truth and half bullshit--theories and so forth, and Every now and then you can find some Good info, like today, a woman posted for women, what to do when SHTF, for women only, so I click...and it's good info, 

it's what to do, in case of natural disaster or economic crash, etc., about menstrual needs.  Not a bad topic to be informed on...and so, I'll post a few of the links here, on How to make your own recyclable menstrual pads, because Hey, this is need to know info, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to use them anyhow, Because they ARE better for the environment.  But before I post the links...I'm reading right, and of course a few menz come on with their stupid bullshit, like one jerk saying 'you should worry about making my dinner' and you know I immediately see vision

--but not surprising on GLP, the MAJORITY OF MEN ON GLP FALL INTO THIS TYPE OF MAN

The bad thing about sorting through the majority of threads on GLP and other similar boards be they conspirator or Science related IS one has to to read this kind of blatant misogynist shit, because they all seem to flock there, but what gets me is how the women, with the Exclusion of one who told this asstard to go Fuck Off, and even That's EXTREMELY  rare as NOT only do the Majority of the Female posters on GLP Don't say anything, Hell they Pawn all over these Neanderthal types AND plead to be 'affirmed' by them and many even Flirt with them--it's either Drugs like Heavy Duty or Lobotomized Females, and what's More appalling is to See/Read EDUCATED women pandering to this type of garbage.  

[I can't post there they banned my ass long time ago for my being what they term a feminist-nazi, yea what the fuck ever, I read there, not some Groupie fan so could care less if they Ban me, been banned by far better, in Fact kind of good at getting Banned for standing up for Women's Human Rights, I take Pride in it!!!  Wonder if they make Banned for Not bowing Badges, Damn I should get one, heh heh let's see, hmmmm, Yep, Found One, Ha !!!

but anyway...so you know I'm reading over and seeing the comments back and forth,

and then, if The silence to the menz who 'think' their misogynist comments are cute isn't bad enough--here Comes, a woman posting, on what Should be a serious topic which has already been polluted with the mentality of cave menz and numerous pandering women who if I didn't know better many are still in high school, giggling over women and menstruation, here comes Bimbo [and I Don't often Use that word just so You know] with the, ready for this, "I am worried about how to Still be able to get that Brazilian shave when the shit hits the fan, so I've been looking into and stocking up on razors that have these special batteries" etc etc etc and the Bimbo gives  links even, I kid you not, and I'm shaking my head here and there all this time--

I'm thinking of how stupid some of the other posts was that suggested cattails and that women in the 'old' days used grass and all kinds of stupid shit,

with the interjection of dumb ass dicktards with their puberty porn remarks and Then THIS!!!  LIKE major WTF, seriously, here I'm visualizing menstrual pads, emergency prep,  guerrilla warfare on the streets type of thing and THIS bimbo is worried about whether not she can still be 'fuckable' [never mind men Rape in chaos, or does this Bimbo not think that menz in the good old boy west won't rape??????] and if she can Shave her Pubes, I mean how does one even Begin to Grasp this level of I don't know, is it mean to say, Stupidity?????

 Just when you Think you've read all the fawning over the phallic, menz worship in web land, you ain't seen nothing, because it just seems to get worse and worse and worse.  If shaving the pubes isn't Stupid enough in it's own right--because It Is and is about as misogynist assimilating as one can get [and because it ties into that whole pedophilia promoting shit and why Women can't see that is Beyond me, it isn't brilliance to mold oneself into 7 year old Barbie, that Porn Culture shit is bad enough, seriously] OK but now we're talking, Times of Severe Crisis, war, financial breakdown, nuclear fall out, 2012 shit and here the Topic of concern becomes,

'oooh, how do I continue to shave so that Johny will still want my putang'

Hope you got a Sense of Humor, because I Just couldn't Resist, ROFLMAO

GOOD GRIEF, I thought the BDSM women were STUPID, THIS ONE TAKES THE CAKE, IF THERE WAS A BIMBO REWARD OF THE YEAR I COULD GIVE OUT--THIS WOMAN WOULD HAVE RECEIVED IT.

 Yea I know[shame on me]  it's not Nice and PC to slam women for pandering to Misogyny or calling her Bimbo...and you know for the most part, Look I don't, because God knows I KNOW what those internalization's are, I bowed  my knee to the phallic for Years, so I know how that psychological shit works, I know what it is to believe in that fairy tale that Johny does really luv me he just needs understanding and all that other stupid asinine b.s.  I used to tell myself--I know, I was young and dumb and full of cum once, I grew up in that mentality--so I know, I wasn't BORN FEMINIST, I BECAME, or EVOLVED is better term, Into a FEMINIST--after years of getting BURNED AND BURNED BAD, AND FINALLY WAKING THE FUCK UP AND SEEING AND NOT DENYING IN THE FACE 'REALITY' but I wasn't Born with that--IN addition to of course, what comes with becoming Conscious, having grew up in screwed up environment, In addition to the constructs of patriarchal society and most of that influencing my gender lens, being IN the good ole Southern Patriarchal Misogynist Good Ole Boys club--small communities that still KKK and MASONS and BAPTIST run, so I know--know how that mind poison shit works and you know it's One thing to deviate from that garbage when you live in somewhat of a liberal area--bad enough, try deviating in an ultra patriarchal backed by religion-racism culture, think Menz are bad...try living being Policed by patriarchal women, who tell you to shut up and keep your ass in line, that there is Something Wrong with you for NOT liking to be smacked around because you know he's jealous and it's Sexaaay, yea try growing up around that shit--major TIME WARP, yea there ARE communities that are Still like that--and yes it IS surreal, evil surreal and that doesn't help in dealing with the rise of consciousness of gender oppression mixed with  the cognitive dissonance and guilt one has to contend with particularly when it's put on you by others.  So, I DO understand it, though Yes it irks me to no end, It does, it's frustrating to say the least, and there are Days when I empathize and then there are Days when I just want to smack a few upside the head and say, What's the Matter With You?   

 so I can Emphasize with women who are not Conscious fully of Gender Oppression, I can, because I've been there--but Even for the most ultra patriarchal Southern woman I've known, even THEY aren't that damn stupid and it begs to be said Because Survival IS serious, it's no joking matter...so this isn't about Conservative Traditional Culture oh no, this is Porn Culture seeping through like no other, and I"m talking MAJOR BRAINWASHING---most would be thinking, stock up on food, guns, ammo, blankets, meds, even yes diapers and menstrual pads and reusable ones--and here comes This PORN INDOCTRINATED BIMBO WITH HER 'HOW TO HAVE THAT NICE CLEAN SHAVEN PUBIC REGION DURING A TOTAL BREAK DOWN OF LAW AND ORDER AND IN TOTAL CHAOS'!!!

 you have GOT to be kidding me, seriously?  I'm sorry but that goes even beyond patriarchal mind fuck, and it gets Worse.  It's not that this is a one time occurrence, IF it was it wouldn't even be worthy of a mention, I"d just chalk it up to a really stupid woman, but NO you see, I've been seeing more of this mentality and belief system INcreasing, and NOT just in ultra-patriarchal  boards or cultures or regions either...but even in the Liberal more urbanized areas where Women are ""supposed"" to be Aware,  if you believe in the 'we arrived hype' beyond putting up and pandering to Menz, NO, I"m seeing more and more of this type of pandering to Porn Culture shit all over the place, like Seriously,

[I had to look up Vintage, this is Bad Enough, the images of what many Women today think is 'cute' and desirable to be Submissive, are bloody horrid, if it Wasn't serious it would be down right comical, in fact it's Unbelievable really, that there are Women out there who Think this Self Degradation is Normal Healthy Behavior, and add That to an Environment of chaos and societal break down and WE have some serious problems, that don't just effect Women, but Society as a Whole.  What kind of world are WE bringing Children up in when Women are Molding themselves into Bondage Slaves?  And we Worry about National Security Threats from the Outside?????????]

Even among some of the more Religious conservative boards/culture, when I did a bit of short research reading up on some of those, I was appalled at the Porn culture mentality/Assimilation I was seeing, and of course it's bad enough with that whole 'submissive culture and the doctrines of Subjugation of women' to begin with--you know where I grew up [South] women, I remember, so many of them, would say, "I have to get home so that dinner will be ready before Johny comes home" and many women saying, 'I have to ask Johny for permission to go here, there', and even Then, I thought, WTF, you aren't serious right?  Maybe that's why none of the menz liked me too much because even With growing up into and with that indoctrination I could see just how fucked up that shit was...the whole Perpetual Wife Child Syndrome--and YES there are numerous women who Obey this crap.  And not just religious women,

and it is NOT luuuuuvvvvv, it is Stockholm Syndrome is what it is.  And I'm going to say it, oh I KNOW this is going to get me into trouble but I"m going to say it, the majority of women whom I saw towing this garbage were WHITE WOMEN, Latino women are [where I grew up and Being since, to clarify, I didn't 'fit in' with the White culture in the Southern town I grew up in and so majority of friends All my life have been Latino and I know that culture, I think it has a lot to do with the Italian [strong] culture in my family circle so for Me it was just what I related to, felt comfortable with and Still do, in fact I still live along side Latinos than I do whites, also one of my daughters is very dark skin, so we Deal with racism a lot, oh Yes, why I left the South, a huge reason Was because of the racism we encountered and I was blacklisted for having yes, a dark skinned child, I'll say it because This still goes on, and SHE deals with racism on a daily basis, she's half Cherokee [father full blood] and so my Lens on this, comes from living with this reality and seeing it first hand so Anyway, just to give you some background] 

so as I was saying, most of the Latina women I know, are yes, somewhat submissive but NOT with the same type of cow bowing, what I mean is, they put up with a lot of shit because of the children and because of economy but they will stand up--they don't MENTALLY ASSIMILATE into the shit as much--NOT from what I've seen, and African American women, NO way, most of my friends would slap Johny's ass right out the Door,

but not WHITE women, oh no, not in the good ole South or Mid-West even, what Gives with that?   Seriously, and Why don't we Ask that enough?  [within White community I'm talking about here, and Yes I do believe it has a lot to do with the whole culture of Racism and White Privilege]  What is it with White Women who not only submit but Agree with their oppression???????  And if That isn't bad enough, Worship their oppressor?  Is it religious influence, internalized hierarchical GUILT, from being on the Privilege ladder, seriously What gives here?  And I ask this, because it seems to happen More with the more upper to middle [maybe even Worse in middle] class they go--income wise, hey I"ll say it, hey Maybe I am just a loud mouthy biatch, OK but I want to know WHY we don't ask these questions because either it's just ME and I'm crazy,

or this is Reflective of something that goes beyond just Gender that Reveals a Social Mental Disease.    This is something  I have wondered about FOR YEARS, meaning in HOW white women relate To each other and the Lack of Support To ONE ANOTHER, this is what I'm referring to so to NOT be misunderstood here.  And I'm including in that lack of support IN close tight knit communities, religious Included because those lack of support systems I find are even more stronger there--the Facade and Pretense of them yes are there but beyond that, they are only Pretense.

I have been So envious of Latino and African American women whom I know well, and to me their relating to each other and the Support they have towards one another, for the most part--exceptions to this Of course, you know yes They have misogynist oppression too but they don't seem to have the cowering to Menz, that yes, White women do, generally speaking, they aren't Afraid to get in the Faces of these asstards and go ballistic,

not so with the Majority of White women and even When they do, they are all lady like and polite and ass kissing of Johny.  There are exceptions, obviously but I'm talking Culture here, and I know it's on some level either a Lack of Consciousness, or a Lack of solidarity OR class influence [I think Class has a hell of a lot to do with this] and those social stigmas Put on behavior...and so it's Not surprising really to see, the Majority of Porn Apologist's and BDSM especially, being from WHITE WOMEN.  [excluding Hip Hop culture but that psychology I honestly have to say I haven't delved into much To understand it nor have I been exposed to it as much So I can't really put much of an opinion on that except that I find the culture to be misogynist and assimilated into a lot of white male power dynamics, I could be wrong on that aspect however, in other words, I don't like Speaking  For other cultures on issues that I in no way can truly understand, I think it's paternalist to do so and so I won't],

but I bring this up because it seems, to Me at least, that the majority of time, when I read mixed boards or hear conversations between men and women, it's White women who pander to Misogynist men the most--and NOT only do they pander to it, they are many of them, so assimilated into it that it just leaves me dumbfounded,

and maybe it Does have a lot to do with Privilege and FEAR of losing that--AS well as, I'm going to say it, their OWN class prejudice and racism [their refusal to really See it and  Deal with it]  because They don't want to see that They are just like all the other women out there [not just referring to race but Class, particularly Class], that Johny doesn't give a shit about them Anymore than he gives a shit about women of color or poor women or women who don't fit inside the male defined or white male defined hierarchical male accepting box,  if I can just be blunt here...that in her buying INTO the Delusion and it IS a delusion that if she just panders to oh Johny that she'll be Immune from ever knowing poverty or abandonment with children or homelessness or rape or violence...that IF she just continues to build this imaginary bubble of fairy tale land that SHE isn't like THEM...THOSE OTHER WOMEN...

yea I'll say it, and you know I think it's Because those OTHER WOMEN, who have had to deal with Johny's shit for centuries, as well as deal with White Women's shit and yes let's not Hide this FACT,  [speaking here about racism and class hierarchies] who KNOW what Johny really IS, behind his gentlemen facade and his fake ass bullshit pretense, they have more of a Grip on yes, Reality...though from what I've read in the younger generation that seems to be changing, I don't know, not an expert in sociology and so I can't relay an educated opinion as to Why that is, I can only assume from a lens of Where I SIT, which isn't the entire world you know, but it sure seems from what I've seen and read that the younger or this generation today, that even among Latinos and African Americans there tends to be an increase in tolerance to misogyny more and more and the Assimilation INTO the misogynist culture with this belief that IF they assimilate they'll be safe from male violence.  

One of many Growing numbers of Homeless Veteran Women, USA

With the lack of support systems however, I will say, this is Where it HURTS us the most, Because, the reason I yes AM envious of Latino and African American women is that they have this Solidarity, between them, this understanding and you know they Work together, they Support one another, Especially when times get rough, Generally speaking, sure it's not perfect and a lot of this Depends on region, urban to rural, etc., I realize that--but from My life experience, This is what I've seen, where as with White women, there isn't that solidarity Other than the cliches of class that don't mean shit because even Within those, it's more like a pit bull coop rather than a hen house, probably not the Best analogy but hey..there it is,

and it really shows up in Feminism, the most.  At least I think--and throw in the generation gap in there and it's worse...and so like with this woman with her obsessive worry [if you saw the links she posted She did her homework on yes, how to have shaved pubs in times of serious major chaos and crisis] over being 'fuckable' to Johny, I think it reflects something really SERIOUS,

that the lack of real Solidarity among White women, has left White women, to be more and more, dependent upon Johny in case of Shit hitting the fan and That's NOT GOOD.   I say this because I've also Seen it's effects, the years I lived on the Streets, another issue and I might go into this a bit tomorrow, but yea you Really see the Fruit of the hierarchical ladder and it's Harms to yes, not just women but to White women, Because of the lack of solidarity particularly in how hierarchy is leveled on a Class ladder--though This DOES depend on the region, demographics that is, the South sucks for poverty/for women, in Mid-West it's not much better, in urban North, worse, in West--from what I've heard from the underground if you're hard up and white you had better have a Johny or you're really screwed, there just isn't the help out there For women, this isn't an issue many like to Delve into because the MYTH of many in feminism is that Because there is the Discourse, that in the streets it's the same--NOT, not even, it's a Whole other world on the streets in comparison to middle class or worse, Academia land, so I Do shed light on this Because the way it stands Now, it's not good for Any of us, and I'll be frank, there is a HELL OF A LOT OF  

DENIAL

OUT THERE--not among those of us who have Lived it, you know, and there IS this separation of realities I think, that is like Unspoken, especially in a lot of feminist discourse I see and of course a lot of that has to do with the fact that Most of the poorest of poor/isolated women/homeless, underground are not spending hours upon hours on the Web or in Academic circles, you know, so most don't Hear those voices and NO the sound byte or journal bit on 'so and so's five line testimony of what it is to be Poor, Homeless, Down and Out does NOT count, in fact, many of those stories and HOW they are twisted to make some more privileged Look good, especially activists, yea I'll say it, are more damn insulting than anything--not only that, they are so fucking way off from what Really goes on, that those of us who Do know, just laugh our asses off, snicker and move on.  Though in that laughter, there is a LOT Of bitterness, believe me...

and it's something I think, we really need to begin to Honestly address, as un P.C. as it is, because IF the Shit Hits the Fan and trust me, IT will,

we're screwed, if the consensus among women is concern over shaved pubes, we truly are Screwed.

No pun intended,

In solidarity,

Jane -- Oh, the links, not to the shaved pubes, a sarcastic lol, but for the menstrual pads that one can make, since I am putting this on the Emergency Prep Label,

and those links are:  http://tipnut.com/free-pattern-for-washable-feminine-menstrual-pads/

http://sites.google.com/site/shewhorunsintheforest/0011

and for those who use more tampon products:  http://www.divacup.com/

I stopped using tampons years ago...and going through beginning stages of menopause so I haven't thought of this much, to be honest, though I Should have, shame on me...but I will say one thing, and this again, is where Reality conflicts with the Delusions...these homemade are all great and all, I concur,

but having Lived on the streets, uh, you have to keep in mind, accessibility to WATER.  IF you don't have WATER then, uh, you're going to run into some problems...and this may be where more nature products like types of leaves, etc., would be more feasible and practical, now What type, I have no idea, but I'll look into it.  Because I can tell you now, if you're out in urban or wild and there is lack of water, Good luck getting oh Johny and the boys to give you some water so you can wash dose pads.. I mean, this is what I''m talking about, this Naive belief that this Chivalry of Menz will come out in some surreal Hollywood movie type of way and these boys will just be all protective over women and all that b.s. nonsense and What is really heartbreaking, is just HOW MANY WOMEN REALLY BELIEVE THIS SHIT,

NO SISTER, when Shit hits the fan, the Last thing you want to be concerned about is Johny, you had better be ready to watch your back at EVERY turn because when you Aren't defending yourself from rape-gang rape, you'll be defending yourself on every little thing Just to survive, and Worse if you have Children who will Also be vulnerable more so.  This is where Women need to get a clue--seriously, and WHY WE NEED SOLIDARITY WORKING, and the Only reason I say it like this IS because, we have in this world Women, who are more Concerned with razors to Shave their Pubes rather than HOW to Survive in a world full of chaos and where male violence runs rampant with NO restraints--and it's really kind of SAD that I'd even have to mention this, you know--shows Just how Porn Culture is yes, KILLING US.

WE need to Prepare and work on Solidarity and Networking info/Resources, NOW, not after the fact.  Why we Don't prep for these things, oh, I know, because Girl Scouts spends more damn time teaching girls to be Barbie Cookie Capitalist Whores[sorry know that's offensive but That shit always gets to me, not the girls but the Women Adults who should KNOW BETTER who perpetuate this insult to the whole ideology of Scouts] than teaching them REAL SURVIVAL TACTICS, THAT'S WHY yea I'll say it, damn right I will--

when Boys learn [well they now pimp them out to sell popcorn now don't they?  hmmm, luv that corporatist capitalist culture] but at least they learn Some things about Survival...

typical images of what we see or think when we hear Boy Scouts, see something Different here?

and you know folks This is where Class difference is really going to break the dam, because those who are clueless, including those para-military wanna be Types who just they'll be safe with their guns and ammo and stockpiles, they forget, there are Street Gangs and criminals that know far more, live on Streets and You'll see real quick, some of the ones you have to watch the most are the ones you Think won't harm you, poor robbing the poor, etc., when they Don't have anything to lose guess what, THEY DON'T CARE--including who keep up with many websites, don't think for a minute they will just sit quietly by and starve in peace, in fact the majority of Youth from the lower incomes districts won't either--just telling you like it is, so, ya, this is where real common sense is what is going to be needed, not trying to Scare anyone here, but you know, it just amazes me, at some of the Stupidity out there, and we Can't talk Empowerment and NOT address these issues, because Just because one calls herself a Feminist, or How many gender books she's read or How radical she Thinks she is, or non-conforming--IF she Doesn't know how to survive in worst case scenario, that don't mean Empowered, that just means, not being prepared and really, it's kind of ignorant.  And that's NOT empowerment.

Because Survival, is no laughing matter, and it won't Matter how many Johny's there are OR what your if your Pubes are shaven...just ask These women

Just saying

Jane 

Back to Reporting on Japan [off topic post below this one, posted today]

Been keeping watch on the reactors, etc., news, I wanted to include, just briefly, some Information on Plutonium.  There seems to be a lot of either ignorance OR some astonishing 'lies' being told on media, not all the media but several that I've heard, about the effects of radioactive fallout.  And I do mean Lies,

one, well no, two I've heard saying that 'this fallout IF there was one, would be the equivalent of a TSA scanner', I'm sorry, EXCUSE ME, WHERE THE FUCK DID YA GO TO SCHOOL?  SERIOUSLY, where Do they get these faux experts!? 

I'm no nuclear physicist but Geesh, I can pick up a fucking Physics book and tell you, these folks are FULL OF SHIT.

For one thing, they are not detailing the effects of spent Plutonium 239, how it's made, etc., uranium of course is more easily mined, because it's more plentiful in environment, with Plutonium it's different.  The thing with MOX fuel and with Plutonium in of itself, is how it reacts to temperatures, coolants and neutrons?,[brain tired right now, info below] etc.,  inside the reactor, what they call those Rods.  Anyhow it gets a bit scientific, putting it here in real layman or street terms, but point being, Plutonium is far more dangerous than Uranium, for several reasons.  One that stands out from what I've read is it gets into soil and plants and like one article I read on algae, it appears to get stronger in strength as time goes on.  Something to do with fission,

this one is Uranium, but let's look at de pretty picture, CHAIN REACTION  BTW, MY USE OF 'DARK HUMOR' HERE HAS MORE TO DO WITH TAKING SOME OF THE EDGE OFF OF A VERY DARK AND HORRIBLE SUBJECT, BECAUSE WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SHOW YOU, GETS A HELL OF A LOT WORSE....

Kind of like these horrid Nuclear Tests here, you know, the ones they always say are SAFE...take a look at This gallery, Kazakhstan Russia, oh yea, looks REAL SAFE sarcasm--THESE PHOTOS BTW IN THIS GALLERY, ARE HORRORS AS A RESULT OF ATOMIC TESTING--AKA FALLOUT, WHICH SOME ARE 'THIRD GENERATION' GENETIC DEFECTS--NOT SOME EQUIVALENT OF A SCANNER OR X-RAY FOLKS.  NOT AT ALL!

See rest of Gallery here, http://didierruef.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/Kazakhstan-2008-Nuclear-Waste/G0000K4wd1qwxqKE/I0000h1MO0mi3yuM

it's Shocking, to say the least--yea, no different than an X-Ray, hmmmmmm

anyhow, the effects of Plutonium are different from the hard element to Gas form, which btw, includes Steam.  It is also more wanted from what I read by terrorists for bombs, though that's not my focus here but IF that be the case, then that kind of says, it's not a 'safe bet' nor some equivalent of an X-ray or TSA scanner.  One article I read says it has a half-life of 24,000 years,

so much for that 'it will fall and be over with in a few months' Myth floating around out there.  Anyway,I'm no nuclear expert, wasn't like THE core [no pun intended] issue I worked on, though I have been environmentalist and active in those issues for Years, like I did Some activist work against transport of waste/building plants near aquifer's, etc., but my focus environmental wise was on cutting consumption wastes, ending other toxins/dumping in rivers, recycling, etc., and the relationship between environmental degradation and Misogyny, and they are Heavily related, so like my heavy focus wasn't ON nuclear, oh, yea, I should include animal rights/preservation, etc., water conservation and environmental concerns related to Urbanization/Poverty, so, just to clarify that.  So my understanding of nuclear doesn't just come from off hand knowledge [unlike other issues that I've spent years studying], but I CAN read, and grasp many sciences, and from what I can thus far gather, this shit ain't good....I also read that breathing it [in gas form especially, including via Steam] well, kind of deadly, the 239 form especially.  OR PU 239.  This is why you see those face masks, and another thing, seems to be mentioned a lot is How it gets into tissue and why they say cover cuts,

so, I will post some links here, for us to read/and keep, besides, it's just good knowledge to have, Why?  Because waste or PU waste is also an Issue that Americans need to be aware of, because of the transporting of that waste [a very serious risk/danger to public] AND the increase of plants here in the West, not only that, the lobby for, seems to be a big money backed lobby.  The argument is that it is of course cleaner than coal and oil.

You know something, So is WIND.  So is Solar Power, and not so deadly in case of accident Which btw, seems that there isn't a pristine record where That's concerned either.  Just saying....

and you know, it wouldn't be the End of the world, if we began to Limit hours per day for electrical use, like, I don't know, a three hour cut each day, across the board, get people use to NOT being so dependent on lights during Daytime [like ARE they really necessary????] and t.v.s going all the time and music stereos and even yes, computers...oh yes, they infringe on Freedom

well, let's see, what's worse, three hours a day without electric, to conserve energy and environment, OR

a lifetime or half life, of living in seclusion, with masks, radioactive checks, decontamination units, constant fear, and cancers and cell diseases and genetic horrors????????

Kind of seems Obvious to me--doesn't it you?

On Plutonium, the risks, real or imagined?  http://web.rollins.edu/~jsiry/puzzpu.html

good expert analysis on the Risks of MOX fuel-PU before the accident,

more Good info including the use of Nuclear Waste & Transport of that Waste

http://www.wagingpeace.org/menu/issues/nuclear-energy-&-waste/nuclear-energy-fact-sheet.htm  

Oh, and the thing about Nuclear Waste not being Dangerous, uh, Think Again,one NOTE however, seems to be argument over this report, so I am going to do more research on This one issue, in regards to the dumping of wastes from Iraq however I have seen similar reports/with photos so am including this anyway, just that this one story is NOT confirmed, be aware of this, thank you.

OK NOW FOR THE BIGGIE--READY FOR SOME REAL INFORMATION, THE 'DIFFERENCE' BETWEEN EXPOSURE OF RADIOACTIVE PARTICLES/OR RAYS FROM MACHINES SUCH AS X-RAYS, OR SCANNERS [THOUGH THE DEBATE IS STILL OUT ON THAT ONE EH, BESIDES, DAMN MOLESTING TSA JERKS--SEXUAL ASSAULT/GROPING IS STILL THAT, SEXUAL ASSAULT ASSTARDS],

AND THAT OF BEING EXPOSED, THROUGH SKIN AND BREATHING, RADIOACTIVE RAYS/PARTICLES FROM ATOMIC ENERGY, FROM PLANTS, BOMBS, ETC.,

CUZZ GUESS WHAT VIRGINIA, THERE IS OH MY GOSH, A BIG DIFFERENCE!!!!

http://www.wagingpeace.org/menu/issues/nuclear-energy-&-waste/nuclear-energy-fact-sheet.htm 

Difference between Rays, like X rays and Gamma, http://www.differencebetween.net/science/differences-between-x-rays-and-gamma-rays/

Excerpt:  

""The lowest dose, received in a brief period, which will produce detectable effects in the body is about 25 r. and for many individuals will be 50 r. This 25 r.-50 r. range is generally considered an overexposure. Radiation sickness follows exposure somewhere in the 75 r.-100 r. range, with nausea and vomiting occasionally found as low as 100 r. Serious illness, from which people will recover with proper attention--will result at the 200 r. level. Exposure to 400 r. in a brief period will probably kill 50 percent of all persons exposed.""  from none other than Testing in Nevada, link, oh it's cute, 50s and all, with cartoons even

AND just out of curiosity, let's look, Cluster Cancers, state comparisons, studies, etc., let's see, Nevada, what do we have here:

high skin cancer, death kind on high scale, Nevada [could be from sun too but ya know, kind of odd don't ya think]  http://www.cdc.gov/cancer/skin/statistics/state.htm

Like an X-Ray, Like the very first tiiiiimmmme, cuzz ya make me feel, like an X-Ray, oh yea baby

Interesting, http://jeremybrendan.blogspot.com/2004/05/nevadas-high-cancer-rate-why-uncle-sam.html


and since these LOL media experts that say it's just like an X-Ray, well, here's a Radioactive GLOSSARY, so we can kind of know what these terms mean:

http://www.bt.cdc.gov/radiation/glossary.asp

BOTTOM LINE, YA DON'T GET YOUR PHYSICS AND SCIENCE INFO AND EDUCATION FROM DE 6 O CLOCK MEDIA ENTERTAINMENT NEWS, LIKE UH,  and no Barbie don't cut it, Please, if we are going to have to sit through so called experts telling us that there is no reason to worry, could they At Least, use experts who Are not in the pockets of big energy-nuclear Corporations working on Laws that Any moron can do five minutes of research in their state to See Agenda's that are Clearly there, like

DUH, DUH, AND MORE

DUH

you pick up a Book, research journals, and Learn...it's Amazing what ya find out too!  AND WHILE YOU ARE AT IT, PICK UP A BOX OF KLEENEX, YOU'LL NEED IT.

Peace out--

FORGET ANY DELUSIONS OF BEING PROTECTED FROM RADIATION FALLOUT, IT IS TIME TO START PREPPING NOW!!!

 photo Chernobyl from English Russia--remember, this was result of Partial Meltdown, ONE reactor, not 6, reactors.  see link for photos:   http://englishrussia.com/index.php/2006/09/13/lost-city-of-chernobyl/

I was told yesterday, by someone whom honestly I'm still wanting to scream Indifferent Bimbo, still pisses me off when I even think of her stupid ass comments to me, when I posted about taking preps and the dangers of what is transpiring in Japan, Why do I react so strongly?  Well because, to NOT inform, when there is MEGA AND I DO MEAN MEGA, experts WARNING about the dangers to come, especially to those who may Not be even taking this seriously, OR because they simply do not have Time to read up, with caring for children, working, etc., and most Women do NOT have the luxury to read up on all the physics and international papers, etc., and they Do rely on our local news media which isn't worth a shit...to NOT say anything, even IF, it's premature, In MY STRONG OPINION, is to be an accessory to a FORM OF MURDER. 

And I'll be frank, I think that's some of the most Evil shit out there, people who Shame whistle-blowers, those who Warn, or who Distract from Serious very real live THREATS TO HUMAN LIVES because they simply don't either want to Think about the ugliness of horrible realities OR they flat just are too fucking shallow, to give a damn.   These types of folks, are more interested in preserving the Status Quo of faux security, in worrying more about Charlie Sheen [like who gives a fuck really, the guy's an ass-wipe misogynist moron], and Rather than just going on about their shallow existence, they instead demonize those who even if they aren't 100 percent accurate, are at Least, trying to get information out there that could possibly Save lives,

if Anything, even IF there isn't much one can do, taking Some measures, at least Empowers, and when we are faced with the unknown, particularly when it's Dangerous, the last thing we need, is to suffer through with a total feeling of POWERLESSNESS.  And that's what Women are Expected to do, is to just suffer through, Powerless, depending on Others, and you know, sometimes, especially when one has children, who is Head of Household, that simply isn't an Option, so why Should they NOT have the information, even IF dire and dark, to then at Least, be able to take some measures of dealing with--Even if, yes, it's speaking to those who are not of the optimistic fairy tale land bent, at least they Don't have to sit quiet, in their concern, in a Disney land world while very real clouds of death hang over them.  I thought about this a lot yesterday...IF, the end of the world, let's say was to happen seven months, I would want to know, I would at least, THEN have the option, of living out the rest of my days, with my family, my children, doing things I have put off...rather than existing for the working machine, putting off until the end, and looking back and thinking, Damn, now it's too late.

Time is precious...what Pisses me off, IS the disinformation, the NOT exposing the Real Dangers, by those of the Power Apparatus and those Bimbos and Delusional Addicts who perpetuate that shit, because hey, They one make Profit from misery [yes, that segment Does exist], they often can Afford to leave to a safer place, or buy needed goods, health care, etc., so it may Not effect them with the severity, that it does to those who can't leave, can't escape, and are stuck dealing with the worst ends of a disaster.  And this is why I have little tolerance for these types of individuals...Especially when there is Far enough voices out there who are saying the same damn thing, JUST because they are not spewing the typical mainstream bullshit, does NOT mean their claims don't have merit.  And when it comes to LIFE AND DEATH, I'm sorry, but I don't want to weigh my chances, on just one view, the mainstream view.  For Women, especially women who know damn well, the misogynist indifference of the Mainstream, media especially, to the plight of Women, status of Women, for Any, professed feminist, to turn around and say, to Warn of very real possible dangers, not relying on the 'comforting lies' of media as being a Fear Monger, is just  Unbelievable.  IF women's lives don't matter to our Porn-Rape culture aka media, what the Fuck do you think, makes a difference in matters of telling women the Truth about yes, radioactive fallout?????  Do you think that boom, some magical wand and Puff the Magic Dragon comes out and the status quo turns direction and begins to act with empathy???????  No one can Be that stupid,

especially when we have a HISTORY, OF GOVERNMENTS AND CORPORATIONS not telling us the Entire story, let's take Chernobyl, and NO it's NOT just because of communism--we have similar horrors of drug testing on Children here in America, with foreknowledge of dangers, by Corporate interests who are backed by science...IF any want to refute this, I would suggest one thing--Go to a damn court house and look up court docket cases on personal injury law.  I mean Seriously, no one can be That deluded to think prior knowledge of harm is not ignored when there is money to be made or reputations to be spared!  When there is big money investments, and a disaster strikes, the Last thing governments want to do is alert the Public--and it's not a coincidence, that They, the government, elite, scientists CAN get on a plane and evacuate, while the masses sit and wait....it Doesn't take a fucking genius, to figure it out folks--being a Woman, does NOT excuse, willful ignorance.

Some of the common things we hear about this horrible nuclear disaster in Japan, not by Their media so much as ours [western, US, Europe tends to be a bit more upcoming with facts], is that Chernobyl wasn't as bad in numbers wise [they under report the numbers of horrors that are Still continuing today] and they fail to mention the Difference in the numbers of reactors, varying degrees of meltdown, the Fact that the containment is gone, etc., a host of things--I heard last night, some Idiot newswoman saying, 'not to worry, the radioactivity is the equivalent of passing through an X-ray"  BULLSHIT.  And it's a flat out fucking LIE.  For one it's Partial truth--while yes low levels, one can survive, maybe not get cancer for fifty years--the FACT remains...these types of nuclear elements do NOT dissipate NOR do they just hit all areas in same levels.  Plutonium settles in dust, when wind picks it up it is back into the air--WE are looking at long term now, and These reactors are far more Powerful than Chernobyl.  And there is more than One that has blown--so to Think, that we can avoid a global or partial global fallout, is just asinine.  Hey I hope we can...but I damn sure, am not going to just sit and bank on it...IF there is something I can do, even if it's taking Kelp tablets, then by golly, I want that Choice, I want that Chance, it's far better, than sitting and being POWERLESS, and as a Woman, I refuse to be silent and told to shut up, bake cookies, and be POWERLESS.  And I DAMN SURE, AM NOT GOING TO TRUST AND RELY BIG BROTHER--if they don't take care of Women and take measures to end male violence, poverty, hate crime, YOU MEAN TO TELL ME, THAT I'M A FEAR MONGER FOR NOT NOW TRUSTING THEM FOR MY WELFARE?????

yea, RIGHT.  Let's smoke some more 420, yea do some BDSM, it will all be Fine, OK, SURE...

now, I'm not going to go in freak out mode, dig a hole, and store dried oats either...but I want to be at least, Informed, if to just take one last vacation [which I haven't been able to in 20 years] with my children...

and the other thing this moron said to me, which pissed me off more so, was that we should focus our attention on sending aid...Yes we Should send aid--but you know something, what Japan needs, is to get THOSE PEOPLE OUT...and like NOW, sending aid to people who are sitting under high levels of radiation that we KNOW will kill, is a insult to insult.  Tokyo already has above level rads measured, IF we do something, what we SHOULD DO, IS DEMAND AIRLINES TO FLY THESE PEOPLE OUT TO SAFETY, FOR FREE,

and let other nations/citizens pick up the tab--donate for this, rather than sending blankets while these people sit and slowly die of poisoning.  Kind of reminds me of what our ancestors did to the Native Indians...you know if this commenter was really concerned about Aid, she would have thought of that--but no, you see, it was Just a guilt trip to Shut me up...because SHE didn't like what I had to say--and SHE is typical of many Westerners, sad to say, that attitude that IF you deviate from the Disney World Fantasy norm of the Status Quo, then you should shut up, your message distracted, and let's just go on like nothing's wrong...

and I for one am getting fed up with that BANALITY OF EVIL.  And it IS a banality of evil...it's NOT that evil is in the world, that's bad enough, it's when there is evil in the world and WE DO NOTHING, TO PREVENT OR STOP IT OR CONFRONT IT.  Because to Do so, well, would lesson our 'comfort zone', you know what, TO HELL WITH PROTECTING FAUX COMFORT. 

There is a book and website, on Chernobyl today, I want to post an excerpt, of a comment made, from a review of the book WRITTEN BY SURVIVORS, WHO LIVED THROUGH, THE LIES, THE HORRORS, THE DEATHS...and they say, and I quote:

 ""As an oral history this is a frightening experience (the term "experience" emphasized). Chernobyl has been largely hushed up and kept quiet, the scope of it is worse than most know or understand (occasionally we hear a few hundred or thousand people died and certain cancers are slightly up, don't believe it, much worse). Only about %5 of the nuclear material escaped so it was a minor accident on the scale of things. There is a %50 chance of another meltdown happening elsewhere in the world over the next 40 years (sourced in book). Had Chernobyl been a full meltdown much of Europe would be dieing off as we speak. 16 more Chernobyl-type reactors are still in operation (14 in Russia). As Alexievich says in her epitaph: "These people had already seen what for everyone else is still unknown. I felt like I was recording the future."

The disaster of Chernobyl is still going today, it never ended, it is like AIDS - it just keeps getting worse, there is no cure for radiation which lasts 100s of 1000s of years. The radiated material is finding its way outside of the "Zone" and spreading slowly around the world. Down the rivers into the seas, blown on dust, carried out by hand by bandits in the form of trucks and TV's and scrap metal sold to Asian scrap metal firms which build the goods we buy, grown in food and sold on the world market. I put this book down thinking two things: where can I buy a gieger counter and where can I buy iodine.""

here is the website, Photo Gallery, Village of Joy, http://villageofjoy.com/chernobyl-today-a-creepy-story-told-in-pictures/

 

You know this is the One room in a Chernobyl photograph, that the paint hasn't chipped off the walls, I think there is a message in that somewhere,  from Mother Nature, God, just like the children's books, often left intact after a disaster, 

People stick their necks out, speaking against the grain, Because they want to Do something, maybe Save someone or something, maybe Even part of them self [I tend to think its a combination], maybe it's something in nature inside of us, that shows in the life of the future, our Children, Hope for a Future,

we don't build for our Children by shutting our ears and going lalalalalalalala

no, we build and maybe save by taking action, by GIVING A DAMN, EVEN RISKING LOOKING CRAZY

and So what if we're wrong, I'd rather be wrong and have taken action, than to right and not have done anything....even If that anything, is spending a month with my children doing those things I've put off.  If the EQ and Tsunami showed us anything, it should have shown us, that Life is not guaranteed, it doesn't matter HOW much crap you own, you don't own the power of the forces of LIFE.  We need to start GIVING A DAMN

while I don't have the answers as to What to do to prevent radioactive poisoning in worst case scenarios, or even at all, I do have some things I can post here, whose to say they will work or not?  Maybe they don't...most likely they don't--but IF there's a chance, IF there's a chance, and it's Needed,

then I'm going to post it, if ALL IT DOES, IS HELP PSYCHOLOGICALLY, ESPECIALLY TO A WOMAN OUT THERE, WHO IS ALONE, AFRAID, WITH OR WITHOUT CHILDREN, OR TO ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER, then I'm going to share it,

and if the Deniers and Status Quo jerks don't like it, TOO DAMN BAD.  Go play in bunny land or something

[yea sorry, bit of sarcasm there, it's kind of like those who told Jews in Hitler's Germany prior to the death marches/attacks that there was Nothing to worry about even though there was messages, saying Death to Jews, those kind of people just rub me the wrong way]

Anyway...someone posted some things on GLP yesterday [God Like Productions] about things one can do if they can't get the pills, now I don't and won't say they will Work--and I'd be SURE to check any ill side effects from--BUT if it's a situation where we KNOW there is a radioactive cloud with high RADS, then shit--it's better than nothing,

here's the link, to what this person posted...about kelp, etc., among other things, Please be sure to look thoroughly Into, and also Look thoroughly at This link, it's VERY informative...from what readings I have gotten thus far, West Coast, Seattle, looking anywhere from 7 to 10 days, the thing is, you have to watch the jetstream, and keep track of the RADS measured.  I have posted those links to the top of this blog...also, God Like Productions [numerous military posting there now] IS keeping up with all that is going on, it's a good source, often times you get info from others around world HOURS before our media even touches it.

that link is on what one can do:  If you CAN'T FIND POTASSIUM IODIDE ANYWHERE, some alternatives, remember, PI only protects from Thyroid exposure, you Still in case of Fall Out Cloud need to take Other precautions, I will repost That link too.

Be sure to read through Entire post entries, about two to three pages, some Good info here--except, on the Clay, be wary of giving it to Children, AND I'd be sure to really dilute it with Lots of WATER.

http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1391097/pg1

Read this site With links, do what you can:  http://www.ki4u.com/

and godlikeproduction [a lot of Good info here, a lot of b.s., you just have to Weed through it yourself, what I do, and BE sure to Research on your own as well]

just in, Japan preparing for Fall OUT evacs on large level...

http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1395860/pg1  

so be Sure to keep watch on the jetstream maps, make sure you have stored water/food [for at least to ride out any possible cloud which well is Expected] and MOST OF ALL

JUST BE INFORMED.

Peace,

Jane

WHAT JAPAN COULD HAVE DONE, TO AID IN SURVIVING A TSUNAMI--A STORY, A TSUNAMI SURVIVOR IN THAILAND TSUNAMI

WISDOM FROM AN OLD CRONE BEAR ???? HOW TO POSSIBLY SURVIVE OR UP YOUR CHANCES OF SURVIVAL IN A TSUNAMI?!!!

note:  I am seriously considering adding a
Sister blog, Just on this issue, of Survival for Women, Emergency Prep and Living with Nature in Harmony series, I think it's Direly needed, one that is Woman Earth friendly, rather than para-military patriarchal type.  Also see post below, on How to survive nuclear fallout--a Very real possibility with the reactors in Japan, esp the one #3 that is using MOX fuel, aka Plutonium.  For now, I will keep this series here, and will add a note to the top with links/archives.  Thank you, Jane

In doing some research this morning as to why many in Japan don't own boats, or how one could Maybe ride out, white water rafting type of way, a Tsunami after viewing the many clips of the Tsunami, wondering why there weren't some walls/embankments built, that sort of thing, from being actually curious as to Is there any ways in possibly Saving lives in future, in case of Tsunami [never hurts to look, and think at because you Never know] and I ran across this story,

it had one thing that I do think DOES stand out, those that could Swim and swim strong, seemed to have better chance of survival, and the second thing that stood out, was the Danger in being impaled or thrashed by all the metal pieces which tells Me, that Maybe near by coasts, we shouldn't one be building and Two, only using non-metal parts, on Tsunami hot zones, because it Appears that it's the being pulled under and banged, caught onto sharp metal edges that Kills the most, second to drowning. 

And if you wondering Why in the World I would be thinking of something like this, well I live not too far from some serious rivers that Yes, people die in them Every Single Year, when the rapids get too fierce, water speeds from mountain melt off become Very dangerous, and sure enough, some one thinks they are invincible, and what Kills them, is the speed and smashing into rocks.  But you can, up your chances of survival IF you can avoid being smashed into rocks, and grab on to something that you can pull onto shore, they Teach you this in white water rafting.  

IF you watch the videos, many of the cars and houses tossed around, though yes the water Is carrying them in very high speed, there on many of them IS the potential of 'floating' it out Until maybe, possibly being able to jump onto a more secure device or higher ground, of course one would have to be on constant look out for the smashing into or being smashed into, etc., of other buildings and cars...but my point is, Why aren't we training people living In these high tsunami risk areas, ways they can possibly swim/float out even the most violent of waves?  We do this for white water accidents...

now this in No way means, that one would be protected or safer, no, NOT what I am saying BUT if there is Anything that could possibly Up one's chance for survival, then why not look into it?  In one video clip, there is mountains around the water, my question is, for those who live in such areas, from what I heard on one video, they had 11 minutes to evacuate, Not a lot of time...now I have no confirmation as to this time limit [further north Japan] however,

why don't these people have Boats?  I see masses of CARS, but no boats.  I'm talking small boats or life rafts?  Here we have, people Living on an Island completely surrounded by water, but no Boats!  For individual families, I see bikes, tons of cars, computers, gadgets, but not one canoe or boat or raft? [not talking here of the bigger fishing boats and tanks, of course we saw those]

I don't know but it would Just seem common sense to me, that If you live in what you KNOW is already a very HIGH POTENTIAL OF EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI, on an island with water, that you would at Least have

a small boat, life raft, and LIFE PRESERVERS as well as HEAD HELMETS AND BODY GEAR in EVERY SINGLE HOME  [question, Why didn't Japanese Government push for this, helmets for EQs but not gear for Tsunami??????]

possibly using Rope to I don't know, Secure onto something on higher ground or more stable less likely to get smashed up...

COMMON SENSE GEAR EVERY JAPANESE FAMILY 'SHOULD' HAVE HAD NEAR THE COASTS 

way before you own an I Pad, Computer, Bike and Brand New CAR!

Even in a violent EQ and Tsunami, one may Still have a Far better chance, of survival IF they could boat out to the near by higher mountains Or ride out at least with a damn Life Preserver--you would have to of course still dodge the oncoming metals and cars, and etc but Still, your chances would be better, than trying to swim out or worse, stay in the house, etc., I don't know,

[AVOIDING BIG ROCKS IN WHITE WATER HIGH RAPIDS SIMILAR TO AVOIDING DANGERS MANY COULD HAVE MAYBE SAVED THEIR LIFE IN RECENT TSUNAMI, PARTICULARLY AREAS WHERE RIVER BANKS WERE EFFECTED, these rocks if rafter does NOT know how to use feet to kick off/how to sit/float down with current Can KILL, it's not 100% proof, but it's sure as hell Better than NOTHING if one Can't evacuate in time]

just thinking...if it were Me, this is what I would do, if I didn't have time to evacuate, I'd grab the preservers, rope, [yes Rope and learn how to loop-throw the thing or anchor of some kind or the type you use in mountain climbing-repelling], a life raft With paddles, strap on my damn head helmet and body gear,

I mean--you could still drown but at Least, you'd have a FIGHTING CHANCE.

 The ancients all had boats, [in fact Japan ancients had some of the Best boats engineered just For tsunami's]  it seems they had a bit more sense, but Modern Society, tends to think that I don't know, that cars and electronics are more important than boats and life preservers, head helmets, etc.,  in areas KNOWN for EQs and Tsunamis or floods.

Just saying

anyway, so I read this story, what I wasn't prepared for, was HOW it ended--I think, we could Learn a few things from this man's horrible experience...

http://www.esquire.com/features/what-it-feels-like/japan-earthquake-tsunami-12746

Question is, most of all, is Why does Society allow Total Dependence on Modern Tech, and yet, Refuse to Train People, in basic Survival Skills ADAPTABLE TO THEIR ENVIRONMENT?  Point being, while Yes I know Tsunami's are rare natural occurrence's, Yes I realize they are far more violent than white water rapids...the Fact remains, if these people, like this Man in this story above, survived just by swimming and LUCK a major Tsunami, then it begs to be said--that with TRAINING, AND RIGHT GEAR, ESPECIALLY LIFE PRESERVER, THIS COULD HAVE SAVED HUNDREDS OF LIVES,

now Why isn't this, type of Information, being Put out there, by Modern Governments?  Or maybe, this is the Result, of our becoming Overly Dependent on Modern Technology, Media"" Dumbing""Down Boxes and Trust in Government, to Save our Asses in a Crisis...Especially, when in Every single video, there was clips of computer toys, big screen t.v.s, nice brand new cars and bikes, all getting Washed away, but no damn Life Preservers, Boats, Ropes, Safety water gear, Nada,  AND IT'S NOT LIKE THE GOV DIDN'T TRAIN/HAVE DRILLS FOR THOSE IN URBAN AREAS FOR EQ'S, where in fact, are more of the Wealthier Class [oh yea, I thought about this], but in rural areas where the incomes tend to get a bit Lower--hmmmmm, makes Me wonder, and Yes, while the Tsunami is dragging heavy things that a Life Preserver and Gear wouldn't Protect you from--the Thing is, WITH THESE TYPES OF GEAR, YOUR CHANCES OF BEING TO STAY AFLOAT TO AT LEAST GRAB ON OR AVOID THEM ALTOGETHER, GO UP, NOT DOWN, without the gear, you're Fucked, seriously, unless like the Man in the story, you Just get Lucky...


I'd rather depend on Possibilities, rather than sheer Luck, Wouldn't You?  Not only that--Another thing, without rafts/life boats, HOW does one Get to those people who say, Do survive by mere Luck and are hanging Onto top  of house?  IF there was rafts, there would be at Least, better chance of Getting to these people, in time, at least with some water/food supplies...

sorry but it's kind of Stupid.  Not to be cruel, but you know, Maybe, this IS what those living around coastal areas, Need to hear.  It just might, Save some lives in Future...

I for one, think it's Highly Irresponsible for Governments of nations that Live around high EQ and Tsunami or Flood Zones, to NOT see to it, that citizens are Educated on at least, using Gear to up their chances of survival, but instead are More concerned with Selling Consumer Goods that won't do Shit, to save anyone...[but then, we're talking Governments that put high risk plutonium nuclear poison tanks on EQ faults, gee Duh I don't know, why they for years, even in Japan, oh yes, said, Plutonium is your Friend...yea do some reading on not too long ago Accidents, of those plants, leaking and the gov putting out Animation that said, Plutonium is your Friend, I mean, relying on government-media for our Survival, kind of, not too bright Don't Ya think?


Not only that, but reading the stories of where those Did survive the Asian Tsunami we should at Least do some comparison studies as to What they encountered, such as this man's being drug under, the numerous incidents of people getting slammed by sharp metals, That right there says, there could be Inventions of Body type of Scuba Gear [like the above in white water rapid drill] that has Protective Shields around legs, extremities prone to injury, etc., that would at least, Reduce sharp metals from penetrating [and Building Codes should be using materials that Don't rely on as much metals around Tsunami or Flood zones], maybe even possible flotation devices that could be used like in body type of surfing, with ability to kick away from larger objects, etc.  Collect these survivor stories and Find comparisons and then Work with them--see if there are types of trees that stand more through Tsunami than others and then Plant them, SOMETHING....just Do something, more than rely on Luck.

Maybe, and This would increase Jobs, come up with a metal type non-penetrable ball type of flotation device, Did you See the numerous objects, of huge mass size, that were floating down through the Tsunami rapids, such as the large garbage/freight they use on boats?  If THOSE can float and stay on top in the most violent of EQ produced Tsunami's, then it's Very possible we could Invent a round bubble type of device, with similar materials, that are Enclosed, that could be used to float down--never say never, if MythBuster's could invent a device to help save a life of human in case of Tornado, with speeds of winds up to 200 miles per hour, that can be Carried by human, then it Can BE DONE--WHY AREN'T WE WORKING ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS?  For coastal and Flood Zones, just Think of how many Lives could have been saved, especially With life preserver, for Katrina???????  [come on People, HD is all nice and all, one can see the pimples on the faces of actors, Big Deal--Let's work on Economy that Invents to SAVE LIVES!  use that Tech know how for things like This, rather than mega millions for Disasters Waiting to happen, you know, like Plutonium Uranium energy, DUH--300 year + plutonium life span on all soils kicked up with Wind, Gee I don't know, one would just Think--2012, Maybe THIS is what WE finally GRASP]

In known flood/EQ zones with possible Tsunami's [Japan Knew the big one was coming one day, every 70 years or so, remember], WE should be At work, preparing individuals in Having Survival Water Gear in Every Home...Residents of Southern CA and West Coast--I hope you somehow read this, Pass it  Forward, Yes it's again, not 100% guaranteed, the risk of death we all know, is Still very high in these natural disasters--But it's Far better, to at least Own helmets, preservers and other possible life saving gear--AND FAR MORE IMPORTANT, THAN BUYING THE LATEST

CELL PHONE-WEB TECHNOLOGY.  Pretty gadgets do NOT help one, stay afloat nor do they help in times of crisis--except maybe to call out, That's IF the lines still Work.  Just saying...

People, WE have become Seriously, stupid sheep.  WE NEED TO GO BACK TO LISTENING TO THE OLD CRONES OF ANCIENTS...if anything, to Learn how to live and survive With the Nature around you.

You decide.
