New book, also of interest: 

"The Hockey Stick Illusion: Climategate and the Corruption of Science" by A.W. Montford.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/1906768358/ref=as_li_tf_til?tag=natuenerwork-20&camp=14573&creative=327641&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=1906768358&adid=0WPRV9N15P5ZZ5ZGKN7K&

Here's the review I left on Amazon.com:

Excellent work, going through the detailed evidence originally presented by Mann, et al, claiming a dramatic increase in global temperatures in the 20th Century, and which became THE body of work abused by the UN's IPCC to justify all the new "global warming" propaganda, hysteria and legislation.  Montford shows, point by point, how the Mann, et al, and other "hockey stick" graphs are based upon misrepresentation and outright fraud. He details how the primary critics of the claim of a significant 20th Century global warming, McIntyre and Mckitrick, were opposed and thwarted every step of the way in their efforts to expose the flaws and fraud, by use of dirty-tricks and censorship carried on by "top" editors of major science journals.  These latter two authors exposed these problems in various published and peer-reviewed papers, even later on using a duplicate of the Mann, et al statistical algorithms to show how they are guaranteed to produce "hockey stick" shaped graphs, even from data sets composed of random numbers.  By using such academic slight-of-hand, the powerful Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age were erased from existence, through a flattened "hockey-stick-handle".  The head of the hockey stick was produced by exaggerating certain tree-ring data sets as gathered by other scientists who had already demonstrated how they were non-responsive to temperature.  Many of the Mann et al data sets were also shown to demonstrate a late 20th Century cooling, but these were mathematically diluted down in the final computations.  And so forth.  But no matter, the various "hockey stick" scientists collaborated, figured and calculated things to produce the results they wanted, and then did their very best to hide away the details of their correlation computations and algorithms such that nobody could proof-check their findings.  The data they used -- gathered by many other scientists who freely shared with them -- was frequently cherry-picked for it's "hockey stick" appearance.  Then they refused to share their tainted data with other scientists, so as to conceal the fudging.  This made it nearly impossible to follow their procedures exactly from the raw data to the actual final conclusions, for proof-checking, which was never done by anyone during the process of claimed peer-review.  Years later, when finally being forced to disclose their data by journal editors and government funding agencies, they frequently "lost their data" in the classic "the dog ate my homework" excuse.  Finally came the computer hack which dug out their private emails, showing how they joked about what they were doing, and plotted like Stalinists to censor and professionally destroy those who were critical of their work.  It is that bad.  The awful marriage of science and politics.

More Medical Fascism

Natural News today has an important article everyone should read, about the growing Medical Fascism in the USA, notably in the use of policemen and even SWAT teams to attack people who dare to refuse "doctor's orders".

Detroit SWAT team assaults African American mom who refused to medicate her daughter with antipsychotic drugs
http://www.naturalnews.com/032089_antipsychotic_drugs_health_freedom.html

The article details the neuroleptic drugs being demanded, which frequently cause severe side effects, which the mother observed and properly stopped with the medications.  For doing so, the enraged doctor called in the cops, and the cops dutifully obeyed and sent in the worst of their lot, armed to the teeth.

I've written extensively about this previously, the many similar examples of this going back over decades, and nobody who knows the case of Dr. Wilhelm Reich -- books burned, thrown into prison -- will doubt the seriousness of the problem.  It has gotten worse over the years.
http://www.orgonelab.org/fda.htm

If you think all this is fine, then do nothing.

If you think it is an outrage, then contact your political representatives and breath fire at them over this kind of thing, demanding an end to such fantastic power-drunkenness on the part of doctors, policemen, and federal officials.  If ignored, it will only get worse -- and I must say, Obama-care is guaranteed to make it worse, if only because it fattens up the Federal bureaucracy even more than it already is, and eliminates your choices about what kind and form of health-care you will have access to.

Over many decades of monitoring this sort of thing, I observe it is the liberals of the Democrat Party who have the greatest penchant for empowering medical authoritarianism, perhaps because they tend to bloat budgets, and when Republicans are true to their conservative principles, they tend to cut budgets, providing less money for the Emotional Plague characters in government to abuse for their trouble-making plots and schemes.  They are all big cheerleaders for conventional medicine, but the bigger and more well-funded is the Federal bureaucracy "regulating health-care", the fewer freedoms ordinary people will have on just about everything.

Arresting mothers for protecting their children against Emotional Plague psychiatrists pushing toxic psychiatric drugs is a sure sign of a deep pathology within medicine.  Every decent physician and parent will be against it.  But merely being "against it" is meaningless unless there is some kind of active measures and fight against the EP in medicine, and in the Fed.

Update #6 on the Japanese Atomic Reactor Accident

10 April 2011

Update #6 on the Japanese Atomic Reactor Accident at Fukushima.

1.  Over the last week, no significant increases in radiation have been detected in the atmosphere or snow-rain samples as measured at the OBRL facility near to Ashland, Oregon. At present there are no elevated readings to be observed at our location.  Real-time monitoring of background radiation levels continues, recorded to computer so as to review trends, showing an approximate 20 cpm, with isolated transients between 5 to 40 cpm.  This is well within normal ranges.

2.  Snow-melt and rainwater samples are now routinely being tested with both NaI scintillation and GM detectors, inside a lead shield.  On one occasion, an anomalous set of readings were recorded that probably were the consequence of Fukushima radiation.  As noted in the prior Update #3, on the 19th of March, snow-melt was measured from the previous day's precipitation using a precision Ludlum 2200 Ratemeter/Scaler with 2" mica end-window GM probe.  The readings over that snow-melt sample were at 66 cpm, approximately doubled from the background of 32 cpm.  This amount of radiation was of concern, though still very "low level", and also very temporary in occurrence.  It was associated with a strong oranur reaction locally, as felt by several persons.  However, both the high GM count and the oranur reaction dissipated away within an hour or two after the initial measurements.  At first it was considered this was the consequence of some short-lived isotopes, but now we feel it might have been an effect of accumulated radon daughters dissolved in the water, which when it warmed, out-gassed and so was more readily detected at that exact moment, but not later when diffused in the open air.  Once the water reaches a stable temperature, the outgassing halts and readings go down, to resemble background radiation levels.

The date of this incident matches approximately with the time when UC Berkeley lab detected the first arrival of I-131 and other isotopes in local rain.
http://www.nuc.berkeley.edu/RainWaterSampling

They considered the amounts inconsequential, and while I would not yet become alarmed about it, it does confirm at least a very brief exposure at our facility near Ashland, Oregon to some of the trace residues from Fukushima.  If that kind of thing became chronic, it would be of concern, but this was not the case.  It appears this radiation event was a downstream effect from one or more reactor explosions in Fukushima, Japan on or before March 16th, a time when the jet-stream was oriented nearly exactly West-->East moving fast across the Pacific Ocean.  With a jet stream moving at 100 mph, over one day it would move 2400 miles, or 4800 miles in two days.  Even considering some lag time for materials to be slowly transported up to the altitude of the jet-stream, this could have brought such radioactive materials to our West Coast USA location in short order.

3. There are several new radiation-detection networks which can be consulted:

A.  Radiation Detection Network for Japan
http://www.rdtn.org/

B.  Geiger Counter Bulletin
http://geigercounter.com/
Includes information on the Terrestrial and Atmospheric Radiation Awareness Network (TARA Net) as well as for rdtn.org.  This network appears to be just getting started.

C. Weather Online's Radiation Tracker
http://www.woweather.com/
Look at the upper right side of this webpage for links to tracking maps, plotting the hypothetical spread of radiation from Fukushima east across the Pacific.  You can adjust this to review the situation for Japan, for the USA, or for the entire Northern Hemisphere, and also detailing various radionuclies.  Be sure to read the cautionary statements about these products.  Especially the map for xenon emissions would wrongly lead one to believe the "end of the world".   Keep in mind the color-coding or color-intensity markings on these maps are somewhat arbitrary, determined by the computer programmer.  My advice is to consider them as relevant only for wind-direction and atmospheric mixing, given how they are based upon atmospheric computer modelling.  Nobody is out there measuring radiation levels in the air, and there is no satellite sensor doing this either.  They merely assume so much radiation into the air at Fukushima, then make estimates or assumptions (guesses) on how that radiation mixes in the air, and from there where it will go depending upon prevailing winds.  They may or may not assume the loss of radioactivity due to raining-out in storms, for example.  This is a problem with computer models, as they only show what you program them to show.  Compare these to the probelm of how the fastest and most powerful computers on Earth have difficulty predicting weather more than three days out.  A good weather forecaster using "old fashioned" observation can do a good job two days out.  And your Grandpa with arthritis in his leg can frequently do just about as good as, or better than either one.

4.  The radiation tracking networks previously recommended still are working away, and are among the best resources.  Here:
http://www.radiationnetwork.com/
http://www.blackcatsystems.com/RadMap/map.html

So long as these citizen-run networks show low levels across all those stations, one should not get panicked, in spite of some of the rather wild claims which are circulating on the conspiracy websites (ie, the chameleon Alex Jones and crew).  If a significant number of them begin showing regional readings at or above ~100 cpm even over one single day, even for just a few stations in the same region, then you can worry plenty.  However, throughout this entire critical situation, so far the only places on the planet which have shown such a situation are in Japan or within a short distance surrounding it.  People are rationally expressing concerns about radiation accumulation in the water, soils or food chain in North America, and that might eventually turn out to be of long-term consideration.  But right now that is not the case, and there also is a considerable irresponsible alarmism at work, often created by some of the same conspiracy websites which claim the earthquakes were "caused by HAARP" and the "Evil USA" (and which before the earthquake-disaster were preoccupied with "911 trutherism", "chemtrails", "international cabals", "illuminati", etc.).  A bit of skepticism towards both government and anti-government, and a lot of self-education on the issues surrounding low- and high-level radiation exposure, would appear to be the most healthy and productive path.  The only conspiracy at work in this entire matter has been the irresponsibility of the nuclear power plant vendors and operators, who have a long history of documented deceit, accidents, disasters, and cover-ups.  And as we see in Japan itself, these same people are going be put under the spotlight for what happened.   It appears very unlikely any new nuclear power plants will be constructed on planet Earth for the next 50 years.

If you don't own a geiger counter, now would be a decent time to consider a purchase, as part of the self-education process, though be prepared to wait for weeks or months for delivery, given the current high demand for these products.

5.  Based upon the continuing nature of these possible risk-exposures, OBRL will soon be obtaining specialized radiation detection instrumentation -- a gamma-energy NaI-scintillation spectrum analyzer with computer display and appropriate software -- allowing for determinations of specific radioisotopes in water, air, or other material samples.  The cost of this equipment is about $7,000 and we are asking for donations to help recover the costs to our limited budget.  If you can assist, please use the OBRL donation page, which also carries our contact information:
