MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

Infant mortality rates are increasing.  Health Canada admits that it is finding massive radiation spikes all across the country.  Biologists are saying that conditions at Fukushima are much worse than they thought.  Now radioactive rain is falling in Oklahoma.  And it’s all just a drop in the bucket.  What’s worse, contaminating crops with radioactive rain, or not growing crops at all?

“Aug 6, 2011 Oklahoma City First Rain Since Drought Started.

Rain stopped long enough to go outside and see what came down in the rain. Got rain sample from top of plastic trash bin. Started raining again toward the end of the video. I had to stop and get out of it. You can come to your own conclusion of what is going on in this video.”

“WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Monday essentially dismissed the first-ever downgrade of the U.S. credit rating, trying to reassure investors and the public that the nation’s leaders need only show more ‘common sense and compromise’ to tame a staggering accumulation of debt.

Seeking to demonstrate command in a volatile economic climate, Obama said he hoped the decision by Standard & Poor’s would at least give Congress a renewed sense of urgency to tackle debt problems. He said that must be done mainly by taking on the politically difficult issues of reforming taxes and entitlement programs in the coming months.

In his first public comments on the credit downgrade, which S&P announced late Friday, Obama said Washington had the power to fix its own political dysfunction.

‘Markets will rise and fall,’ he said. ‘But this is the United States of America. No matter what some agency may say, we’ve always been and always will be a triple-A country.'” Read more.

U.S. downgrade hits world stocks as investors flee – “The fallout from Standard & Poor’s downgrade of the United States pushed world stocks to their lowest level in nearly a year on Monday and drove investors to the safety of gold and bonds. Strange as it may be, investors sought shelter in the asset that was downgraded — choosing U.S. government bonds for their liquidity and perceived high quality. Investors shunned stocks and commodities, struggling to discern the effects of the downgrade, which could hit various components of the financial sector, from mortgage lenders to municipal issuers and insurers.” Read more.

Dollar to Be ‘Discarded’ by World: China Rating Agency – “The man who leads one of China’s top rating agencies says the greenback’s status as the world’s reserve currency is set to wane as the world’s most powerful policy makers convene to examine the implication of S&P’s decision to strip the United States of its triple ‘A’ rating. n comments emailed to CNBC, Guan Jianzhong, chairman of Dagong Global Credit Rating, said the currency is ‘gradually discarded by the world,’ and the ‘process will be irreversible.'” Read more.

By Tsuyoshi Inajima and Kari Lundgren – “Tokyo Electric Power Co. reported its second deadly radiation reading in as many days at its wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant north of Tokyo.

The utility known as Tepco said yesterday it detected 5 sieverts of radiation per hour in the No. 1 reactor building. On Aug. 1 in another area it recorded radiation of 10 sieverts per hour, enough to kill a person ‘within a few weeks’ after a single exposure, according to the World Nuclear Association.

Radiation has impeded attempts to replace cooling systems to bring three melted reactors and four damaged spent fuel ponds under control after a tsunami on March 11 crippled the plant. The latest reading was taken on the second floor of the No. 1 reactor building and will stop workers entering the area.

‘It’s probably the first of many more to come,’ said Michael Friedlander, who spent 13 years operating nuclear power plants in the U.S., including the Crystal River Station in Florida. ‘Although I am not surprised, it concerns me greatly; the issue is the worker safety.’

The 10 sieverts of radiation detected on Aug. 1 outside reactor buildings was the highest the Geiger counters used were capable of reading, indicating the level could have been higher, Junichi Matsumoto, a general manager at the utility, said at a press conference.” Read more.

Canadian Gov’t Now Admits: Japan’s Fukushima Catastrophe Bringing Massive Radiation Spikes Over Canada – “On March 18, seven days after an earthquake and tsunami triggered eventual nuclear meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi plant in Japan, the first radioactive material wafted over the Victoria suburb of Sidney on Vancouver Island. For 22 days, a Health Canada monitoring station in Sidney detected iodine-131 levels in the air that were 61 percent above the government’s allowable limit. In Resolute Bay, Nunavut, the levels were 3.5 times the limit. Meanwhile, government officials claimed there was nothing to worry about.” Read more.
