Around 300 Fish Found Dead in Alexandria Lakes, Minnessota
“ALEXANDRIA, Minn. (KSAX) – Around 300 dead fish were found in Lake Agnes and Lake Henry earlier this month in open water areas after ice had melted. But both residents and experts said they’re not sure why.
‘All winter long, I’ve been fishing the lake (Henry), and I ran into a situation where we had a four to six foot column of fish, and all of the sudden, they disappeared. I could not find a fish on the lake,’ Lake Henry resident and fisherman Rick Colden said.
Colden isn’t the only one who’s had a hard time on the lakes, as more than 2,000 anglers failed to catch a fish at a tournament on the adjoining Lake Agnes on Feb. 12.” Read more.
Swans, Ducks, Turtles Found Dead in Australia
By Laura Brodnik – “THE bodies of 24 Pacific black ducks were found in and around Lake Kimberley at Banora Point on Tuesday.
The North Coast office of the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) received two calls advising of the duck deaths and has launched an immediate investigation.
A DECCW North Coast spokesman said two black swans, two moorhens, some turtles and water dragons had also been reported as being dead or sick.
‘These two reports are the only reports of this nature received in the Banora Point and Tweed region,’ the spokesman said yesterday.
‘The department has staff investigating this incident today.'” Read more.
Radioactive Contamination in Groundwater Under Fukushima Reactor 10,000 Times Government Standard
“FUKUSHIMA, Japan — Officials with the company that operates Japan’s tsunami-stricken nuclear plant say radioactive contamination in groundwater underneath a reactor has been measured at 10,000 times the government health standard.
A spokesman for plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. says the company doesn’t believe any drinking water supply is affected.
Contaminated water has been pooling at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power complex since it was damaged by the devastating earthquake and tsunami. It has already leaked into the ocean.” Read more.
Japan’s Nuclear Rescuers: ‘Inevitable Some of Them May Die Within Weeks’
By Dominic Di-Natale – “Workers at the disaster-stricken Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan say they expect to die from radiation sickness as a result of their efforts to bring the reactors under control, the mother of one of the men tells Fox News.
The so-called Fukushima 50, the team of brave plant workers struggling to prevent a meltdown to four reactors critically damaged by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, are being repeatedly exposed to dangerously high radioactive levels as they attempt to bring vital cooling systems back online.
Speaking tearfully through an interpreter by phone, the mother of a 32-year-old worker said: “My son and his colleagues have discussed it at length and they have committed themselves to die if necessary to save the nation.” Read more.
TURKEY: Christians Despised
“Four years after the brutal murders of three Christians at a publishing house in Malatya, Turkey, attitudes toward Christians in Turkey have become even less favorable. According to a new report from the Turkish Association of Protestant Christians, the Christian minority in Turkey suffer discrimination, slander, personal attacks and attacks against churches on a daily basis.
Legal changes that followed Turkey’s bid to become a full member of the European Union made it possible for non-Muslims to found places of worship in Turkey. In practice, however, ‘negative attitudes of civil servants’ pose substantial barriers to non-Muslims, especially Protestants, who want to establish places of worship. Local officials often refuse to issue licenses to new churches; last year, three churches faced legal problems relating to their buildings.” Read more.
‘Losing Our Sons’ Documentary Trailer
Announcing the upcoming release of “Losing our Sons,” a documentary film investigation into the first successful homegrown Islamist terrorist attack on American soil. This is the story of a young African-American man from Memphis who converted to radical Islam, went to Yemen for terrorism training, and came back to murder a young Army soldier in Little Rock, Arkansas.
President Obama: ‘Mosques Destroyed’
By Robert Morrison – “The President finally addressed the nation and the world nearly two weeks after initiating military action against Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi. Boiling down his speech, he claimed a moral imperative to intervene with force because Gaddafi had killed innocent civilians and destroyed mosques in his struggle to hang on to power.
‘Mosques destroyed,’ the president said, supported his argument for air strikes. Churches are being destroyed daily in the Muslim world, but the U.S. does not intervene. Take Iraq, for example. We have sacrificed thousands of our soldiers’ lives and billions in treasure in an effort to bring freedom to this war-torn country.
But the Christians there are daily being murdered and their churches bombed. As a senator, Barack Obama had no interest in preventing Saddam Hussein from filling mass graves. He vocally opposed our going into Iraq. That was then.
In Pakistan, the only Christian cabinet member was assassinated and a Muslim governor who sought to protect a Christian woman from death was also gunned down, reputedly by his own security guard. Christians in Pakistan face escalating persecution. Their churches are attacked and anyone who converts from Islam to Christianity is killed.” Read more.
Biggest Spike Yet In Radiation at Japan Power Plant
By MARI YAMAGUCHI – “TOKYO – Seawater outside the hobbled nuclear power plant in northeastern Japan was found to contain 3,335 times the usual amount of radioactive iodine — the highest rate yet and a sign that more contaminated water was making its way into the ocean, officials said Wednesday.
The amount of iodine-131 found offshore some 300 yards (meters) south of the coastal Fukushima Dai-ichi power plant does not pose an immediate threat to human health but was a ‘concern,’ said Hidehiko Nishiyama, a Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency official. He said there was no fishing in the area.” Read more.
Second Fish Kill in as Many Months Discovered in Australia
By Ken Warren – “DEAD mullet have been found floating on the surface of a Taree waterway for the second time in less than two months.
The fish could be seen at the wetland near Nulama Village at Taree North yesterday, also the site of a similar fish kill in February.
The heat and subsequent loss of oxygen from the water was blamed on that occasion but does not seem likely this time due to the much milder weather conditions.
Some of the fish were found on the banks of the wetland, suggesting they may have jumped from the water.” Read more.
‘Fukushima Plutonium Leak Comparable to Chernobyl Disaster’
Nuclear energy expert Lars Polmeier: ‘Plutonium is a very, very dangerous and harmful substance, even in very small quantities the plutonium, if it is ingested by a human body, almost certainly leads to the development of cancer. There’s no concept how to monitor and how to store the radioactive fuel which will radiate for many, many, many thousands of years.’
Muslim Group Threatens to Turn Wedding of Prince William Into a ‘Nightmare’
“London: A group of extremist Muslims has allegedly threatened to disrupt the wedding of Prince William, saying ‘the day the nation has been dreaming of will become a nightmare’.
A Muslim group – named Muslims Against Crusades – vowed to disrupt the royal wedding and even threatened to start a riot during the celebrations, The Sun reported citing Scotland Yard officials.
Meanwhile, a right-wing group, the English Defence League, has also vowed to act against people who might try to wreck the royal event.
The Muslim group has set up a website showing pictures of Prince Harry with a tagline saying ‘Bestman is a Nazi’. It was referring to a 2005 photograph showing Harry at a friend’s birthday wearing a Nazi armband.
The site termed the royal family ‘enemies to Allah and his messenger’.” Read more.
