28 Signs That The West Coast Is Being Absolutely Fried With Nuclear Radiation From Fukushima
By Michael Snyder, on October 21st, 2013
The map above comes from the Nuclear Emergency Tracking Center. It shows that radiation levels at radiation monitoring stations all over the country are elevated. As you will notice, this is particularly true along the west coast of the United States. Every single day, 300 tons of radioactive water from Fukushima enters the Pacific Ocean. That means that the total amouont of radioactive material released from Fukushima is constantly increasing, and it is steadily building up in our food chain. Ultimately, all of this nuclear radiation will outlive all of us by a very wide margin. They are saying that it could take up to 40 years to clean up the Fukushima disaster, and meanwhile countless innocent people will develop cancer and other health problems as a result of exposure to high levels of nuclear radiation. We are talking about a nuclear disaster that is absolutely unprecedented, and it is constantly getting worse. The following are 28 signs that the west coast of North America is being absolutely fried with nuclear radiation from Fukushima…
1. Polar bears, seals and walruses along the Alaska coastline are suffering from fur loss and open sores…
Wildlife experts are studying whether fur loss and open sores detected in nine polar bears in recent weeks is widespread and related to similar incidents among seals and walruses.
The bears were among 33 spotted near Barrow, Alaska, during routine survey work along the Arctic coastline. Tests showed they had “alopecia, or loss of fur, and other skin lesions,” the U.S. Geological Survey said in a statement.
2. There is an epidemic of sea lion deaths along the California coastline…
At island rookeries off the Southern California coast, 45 percent of the pups born in June have died, said Sharon Melin, a wildlife biologist for the National Marine Fisheries Service based in Seattle. Normally, less than one-third of the pups would die. It’s gotten so bad in the past two weeks that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration declared an “unusual mortality event.”
3. Along the Pacific coast of Canada and the Alaska coastline, the population of sockeye salmon is at a historic low. Many are blaming Fukushima.
4. Something is causing fish all along the west coast of Canada to bleed from their gills, bellies and eyeballs.

Anchorage ties record for most consecutive rainy days
Published: September 13, 2013
Rain overnight in Anchorage pushed the number of consecutive rainy days in the city to 18 — tying a record set in September 1919, the National Weather Service reports.
As of 10 a.m. Friday, the weather service office on Sand Lake Road had measured .19 inches of rain since midnight, the agency reported.
That makes 18 straight days, starting Aug. 27, of measurable rainfall in the city. The earlier record was set in 1919, from Sept. 7 to Sept. 24. Records in the city go back to 1915.
We have some of the best city water in America: from a glacial fed lake (Eklutna) and wells. But then they dump hydrofluoric acid into it, which can only be fully removed by removing all of the healthy minerals through distillation or reverse osmosis (which doesn’t even remove all).

Anchorage Assembly votes 9-2 to keep fluoride in the water supply
Published: September 10, 2013
The fluoride controversy took the main stage at the Anchorage Assembly on Tuesday night and after an hour and half of testimony and debate, the Assembly backed the status quo: fluoride in the water supply.
The resolution, approved on a 9-2 vote, urges fluoride foes who want to keep up the fight to seek a citywide advisory vote. Two dozen people testified, more against fluoride than for it.
Critics of fluoride in drinking water have been pushing the Assembly to stop the practice, as was done in Juneau, Fairbanks and Palmer. For years, they’ve been speaking at the end of Assembly meetings during the public comment time. They call it forced medication. They say fluoride is a poison. …
Supporting it were Flynn, co-sponsors Adam Trombley and Chris Birch, Assembly Chairman Ernie Hall and members Amy Demboski, Jennifer Johnston, Bill Starr, Tim Steele and Dick Traini. Opposing it [the good guys – jeff] were Paul Honeman, whose public safety committee has been working on the issue and is close to crafting its own proposal, and Elvi Gray-Jackson, who said she didn’t support a vote based on members personal opinions.

Mapping the Final Frontier
USGS releases more than 400 updated US Topo maps of Alaska
Released: 9/3/2013 2:30:00 PM
More than 400 new topographic maps are now available for the state of Alaska. The new maps are part of the U.S. Geological Survey Alaska Mapping Initiative, to update foundational data for the state and to replace the existing maps that are about 50 years old.
“These new digital maps of Alaska are elevating our visual record of the surface of the state to 21st century levels,” said Anne Castle, Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Water and Science. “The associatedadvances in human safety, navigation, and natural resource management cannot be overestimated. The productive partnership between the State government and the USGS is facilitating acquisition of the necessary data to complete digital mapping of Alaska, which is a critical chapter in the history of our geographical knowledge of the North American continent.”
The first 400-plus new US Topo maps for Alaska are now accessible and are the beginning of a multi-year project, ultimately leading to more than 11,000 new maps for the entire state. The goal of the AMI is the production of a complete series of digital topographical maps at a scale of 1:25,000 to replace the 1:63,360-scale maps produced about 50 years ago. The maps will be published in digital PDF format (GeoPDF©) and are available for free download and manipulation on a computer.
These new maps include several layers, with an option for the user to turn them on or off. Major updated features include:
- Satellite image layers which allows a recent view of the earth’s surface.
- Contours and shaded relief layers showing the lay of the land derived from newly acquired 5-meter radar elevation data.
- Surface water features from the USGS National Hydrography Dataset, which are updated by local stewards and USGS.
- Glaciers updated using Randolph Glacier Inventory data.
- Boundaries integrated from multiple sources, including Census and major Federal landholders.
- The Public Land Survey System layer from the Bureau of Land Management.
- Roads from a commercial vendor under a USGS contract.
- Railroads and the Trans-Alaska oil pipeline data from local sources.
- Important buildings including police stations, schools, and hospitals.
- Airports, heliports and seaplane landing strips compiled by USGS from multiple sources.
- Feature names from the USGS-maintained Geographic Names Information System.
To ensure that the maps meet current accuracy specifications and standards, the maps will be made using newly acquired elevation and imagery data from multiple state, federal and commercial sources. The map-making process will be largely automated using software specially adapted by the USGS to create approximately 11,275 digital map quadrangles, covering the entire area of the state.
Mapping in Alaska did not keep pace with records for the rest of the nation as a result of difficult terrain, remote locations, and vast distances. Modern mapping information does not exist over the majority of land in the state. Prior to this effort, topographical maps for much of Alaska were about 50 years out of date and not produced to current standards, which rely largely on high resolution digital imagery and elevation data. As a consequence, essential public services have suffered, among them transportation planning and safety, urban and regional planning, economic development, natural resource management, conservation and scientific research.
This new generation of digital topographic maps will continue the rich and valuable USGS cartographic history, and serve the Nation by providing reliable scientific information to describe and understand the Earth; minimize loss of life and property from natural disasters; manage water, biological, energy, and mineral resources; and enhance and protect quality of life.

Pebble’s plan is to build two gigantic storage tanks that will hold billions of gallons of toxic acid that could destroy “the largest sockeye salmon-producing system in the world” [Carol Ann Woody, Ph.D., Fish Biologist from the PBS documentary transcript, linked below].
It’s sitting right next to a fault line, and is only planned to withstand an earthquake many times smaller than the ’64 Alaska earthquake.
I wrote this in a comment on Facebook:
Overall, I believe in developing our resources responsibly, and that Alaska should decide what to do with our state, not the federal government. So I am pro-responsible development, when it’s truly responsible.
This is the kicker for me regarding Pebble Mine, and why I signed the petition, yesterday. They are planning on having two GIGANTIC waste pits that will contain liquid acid residue from the mining process forever, and they’re only rating the pits to withstand a 7.5 earthquake, if I’m remembering correctly [I include the proof below]. Wasn’t the ’64 earthquake a 9.2? If there is even a slight chance that Pebble could get hit with an earthquake over 7.5, then it should be tabled.
In Fukushima, the ancestors wrote a plaque that said don’t build beyond this point. So where did they build the nuclear reactor? Beyond that point.
[This is perhaps unrelated to Pebble, but it’s another example of today’s reckless, myopic thinking] ..we are ripe for a major disaster, thanks largely to Lisa Murkowski. If we get hit by a major solar flare that we’ve gotten historically before where the sky is lit up in the lower-48 too (a photographer’s dream), or someone launches a couple of EMPs, our power grid is going down for many months. Even Newt Gingrich has been talking about this, whom I don’t normally trust. Without being hooked up to the power grid, it is said that all of our nuclear power plants will melt down. And Lisa gutted the bill that passed the House, and was supposed to EMP harden our power grid for the mere price of one stealth bomber. Thanks, Lisa. And she of all people should know about solar flares and EMPs, because she is from Alaska. We have been missing some solar flares that could have taken out our grid, but they weren’t pointed directly at Earth. ADN reported on this about half a year ago.
The love of money, especially, entices people to take unwise risks for themselves and their children. We’re already living on the edge. We should develop responsibly, and never take risks when it comes to the environment.

TRANSCRIPT: Alaska Gold
NARRATOR: Another design challenge is earthquakes. In 1964, Alaska was struck by a magnitude 9.2 earthquake, the most powerful earthquake ever to have struck North America and the second largest earthquake in recorded history.
Alaska sits on the seismically active Pacific “Ring of Fire,” and there are many active faults throughout the state. A large enough earthquake near the mine site could have disastrous consequences.
Dr. Bretwood Higman is a geologist and mine opponent who is studying the seismicity around the Pebble deposit. The main concern is the Lake Clark fault, which the U.S. Geological Survey shows pointing towards the mine site.
BRETWOOD HIGMAN, Ph.D., Geologist: The USGS mapped it as far as the southwest end of Lake Clark, and from there it’s about another 15 or 20 miles to the mine site. So that’s the big question mark here is, is what happens in that 15 to 20 miles.
NARRATOR: Pebble maintains that the fault either terminates or bypasses the mine site.
JOHN SHIVELY [CEO, Pebble Partnership]: We did a sort of electromagnetic flying of that fault, and actually, it turned out to go in a different direction than people thought it did. So we have mapped that. That fault has not been active for I think over 11,000 years. So we really don’t think it’s a threat.
NARRATOR: Still, Pebble says they are designing their structures to withstand a magnitude 7.5 earthquake on the Lake Clark fault [This is many times less than a 9.2, because the seismic scale is logarithmic – jeff]. But critics like Higman point out that Pebble won’t release the more sophisticated mapping data that might support their claims.
BRETWOOD HIGMAN: So if they design a facility with very optimistic ideas about seismic hazards and it turns out they’re wrong, it turns out that there is a big risk from earthquakes, that’s exactly the scenario that could lead to a tailings dam failure.
I’ve been an Anchorage resident since 1980, when we had two newspapers : The locally owned Anchorage Times and the Anchorage Daily News (owned by McClatchy since 1979).
With their deep pockets, McClatchy put the Times out of business, which left Anchorage with just one, corporately owned newspaper, putting out the standard, big government propaganda — acting like Alan Keyes and Ron Paul weren’t even in the Presidential debates, over the years.
And now they want to charge $79.95 a year to read their articles online! I just now found out, because apparently I never read enough articles a month to reach the limit:
Here is ADN’s original announcement:
Publisher: Daily News introduces digital news subscription
And here is more of the rest of the story from the Anchorage Press:
Letter: Paywall screams desperation
Very soon, visitors to the Anchorage Daily News’ website will be expected to pay for subscription access to read online content. ADN publisher Pat Doyle stated, “We can no longer expect only advertisers and print subscribers to shoulder the complete burden of supporting news-gathering and distribution… Having all our readers share that cost is an essential and important step toward preserving the foundations of a free and independent press for future generations of Alaskans.”
Curiously enough, Doyle makes no mention to Alaskans that the online paywall is part of a nationwide initiative by McClatchy, their parent company, to introduce paywalls to all their newspapers. Not only is failing to disclose this exceedingly misleading, but Doyle’s claims are virtually meritless. McClatchy posted roughly $54.4 million in net income and a sheer $1.3 billion in revenue for 2011. Of that revenue, $956.3 million was attributed to advertising and $262.3 million to circulation. However, in a press release on their third quarter earnings, McClatchy president Pat Talamantes said the paywalls “could add more than $20 million” in new revenue for 2013. $20 million compared to the $262.3 million they make in circulation screams either unenthusiasm or bad idea or both. It also trivializes the supposed necessity of the paywalls, considering the number of readers they’re likely to upset with them, if not lose entirely.

How the Pentagon Papers Came to be Published By the Beacon Press Told by Daniel Ellsberg & Others
Forty-one years ago, Beacon Press lost a Supreme Court case brought against it by the U.S. government for publishing the first full edition of the Pentagon Papers. It is now well known how The New York Times first published excerpts of the top-secret documents in June 1971, but less well known is how the Beacon Press, a small nonprofit publisher affiliated with the Unitarian Universalist Association, came to publish the complete 7,000 pages that exposed the true history of U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Their publication led the Beacon press into a spiral of two-and-a-half years of harassment, intimidation, near bankruptcy and the possibility of criminal prosecution. This is a story that has rarely been told in its entirety. In 2007, Amy Goodman moderated an event at the Unitarian Universalist conference in Portland, Oregon, commemorating the publication of the Pentagon Papers and its relevance today. Today, we hear the story from three men at the center of the storm: former Pentagon and RAND Corporation analyst, famed whistleblower, Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers to The New York Times; former Alaskan senator and presidential candidate Mike Gravel, who tells the dramatic story of how he entered the Pentagon Papers into the congressional record and got them to the Beacon Press; finally, Robert West, the former president of the Unitarian Universalist Association. We begin with Ellsberg, who Henry Kissinger once described as “the world’s most dangerous man.”
[…]
I read in the paper about a Senator Gravel, whom I really didn’t know much about, from Alaska, who was conducting a filibuster against the draft, which was exactly what should have been done. By the way, I had raised as a litmus test—I probably never told Mike this—I had raised the idea of a filibuster with a number of senators as a litmus test to see whether they were the kind of person who might go one step beyond that and maybe put out these papers. And in every case I got serious answers—they weren’t frivolous—but the point was, as Senator Goodell put it to me, “Dan, in my business, you can’t afford to look ridiculous. You cannot afford to be laughed at.” And he said, “If I could find other people who would join me, I would do it.” I heard that, by the way—I’ll mention—each name I’m mentioning here is very—the top people in the Senate. Senator—oh, darn, at my age I forget some of these names—but anyway, other senators said much the same: “If I could find somebody else to go with me, I would do it, but I can’t do it by myself. I would look foolish. I can’t afford that.”
So here was a senator [Mike Gravel] who was not afraid to look foolish, basically, and that’s the fear that keeps people in line all there lives. Don’t get out of line. It’s the kind of thing you learn at your mother’s knee to get along, go along—your father’s knee. And don’t stick out, don’t make yourself look, you know—don’t raise your head, sort of this thing, and look ridiculous. But he wasn’t afraid to do that on a transcendent issue like the draft in the middle of this war. So I thought, “OK, maybe this is the guy.” I hadn’t met—I had met the other ones before, I knew them. So I didn’t know him. I said, “OK, he’s doing a filibuster.”

Alaska Becomes Second State to Pass Nullification of Indefinite Detention
by TAC Daily Updates on June 26, 2013
JUNEAU, Alaska – Federal kidnapping in Alaska just got a lot harder.
Last Friday, Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell signed a sweeping nullification bill providing broad protections against indefinite detention, violations of the Second Amendment and blocking implementation of a federal identification program in The Last Frontier.
HB69 prohibits “state and municipal agencies from using assets to implement or aid in the implementation of the requirements of certain federal statutes, regulations, rules, and orders that are applied to infringe on a person’s right to bear arms or right to due process or that implement or aid in the implementation of the federal REAL ID Act of 2005.”
“The people of Alaska got a three-for-one in this bill. This is the most sweeping nullification legislation ever signed into law. The Alaska legislature, along with Gov. Parnell, obviously take Madison’s assertion that states are ‘duty bound, to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil’ seriously.” The new law will make violations of the Second Amendment and DC-sanctioned kidnapping nearly impossible in Alaska, and it throws yet another roadblock in the path of an unconstitutional national ID program. The people of Alaska should be proud of the courage shown by their representatives,” Tenth Amendment Center national communications director Mike Maharrey said. …
“A lot of Americans still don’t understand the threat these provisions of the NDAA represent. There is this ‘it can’t happen here’ mentality. But it has happened here. People who doubt the seriousness of this issue should go talk to some of the Japanese-Americans who spent Word War Two behind a barbed wire fences,” Maharrey said.

Julia O’Malley: Eat your weeds
Laurie Constantino, a local cookbook author, is one of those people you see stooped on the green slopes of city parks with her knife and grocery bag. She’s out there because she knows something the rest of us probably don’t. A lot of plants that we think are weeds are also good, nutrient-packed eating.
I follow Constantino’s food website, which has a trove of interesting recipes for wild edible Alaska plants. (Cow parsnip ice cream, anyone?) I visited her at her home the Hillside this past week because I was curious about the scourge of my lawn: dandelions. I don’t do pesticides (mainly out of laziness) and I can’t beat them. I wondered: Could I eat them?
Constantino’s answer: Oh yes. Then she offered to show me how to make pesto.
A little Internet research told me that dandelion greens have more than twice the vitamin A and vitamin C as spinach. I also read an article in The New York Times about how years of agriculture have bred the nutrients out of common supermarket foods but their wild relatives are way good for you. Crab apples have zillions of times more nutrients than Golden Delicious apples, for example. Wild purple potatoes are way better than Yukon Golds. Naturally, spinach kills iceberg lettuce in the antioxidant department. But dandelion greens crush spinach.
[…]
Dandelion pesto
- 3 cups packed clean dandelion greens, stems removed.
- 1/2 cup parsley
- 3 to 5 cloves garlic (depending on your love of garlic)
- 2 ounces Parmesan, Romano or other hard Italian cheese (a block about the size of an Altoid box), roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts, walnuts, almonds or pumpkin seeds (optional)
- 1/2 cup good olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- Pepper
In a food processor, mince the garlic well. Add the cheese. Pulse it a few times. Add other ingredients. Pulse a few more times until well combined. Store in a jar with a layer of olive oil over the top to prevent discoloration. Can be refrigerated for two weeks as long is there is oil on the top.
Anchorage Mosquitoes were HORRENDOUS for about 3 weeks this summer, after about a 3 week late start. Here is a theory why they were so bad, as well as a funny and so true commentary from the Anchorage Daily News:
Mosquito invasion in Southcentral Alaska leads to run on supplies
Published: June 17, 2013
“Mosquito populations are fairly high everywhere,” said Janice Chumley, integrated pest management technician at the Kenai Peninsula District office of Cooperative Extension Service.
Why? Because of weather we had nine months ago. Southcentral Alaska experienced an extremely wet fall followed directly by snow. The snow covered and insulated the ground before it could freeze very deep.
“It was a perfect overwintering blanket for insects,” Chumley said.
How perfect wasn’t immediately apparent because breakup came late this year; much of the state got smacked by a snowstorm a month ago. The extended cool weather delayed the hatchout, Chumley said. “But the minute it warmed up, all of those successfully overwintering sites produced clouds of mosquitoes.” …
What is not anecdotal is the fact that the Anchorage store shelves on which mosquito control products are usually stocked have become bare in the past few days. …

Elise Patkotak: Tropical heat in Anchorage? This isn’t right
Published: June 18, 2013
OK, let’s get one thing straight. If I’d wanted to have bright, hot sunshine for weeks in a row I’d have moved to Fairbanks or Hawaii or Mexico or, if I was really desperate, Florida. If I wanted to devote an hour every morning killing mosquitoes in my office before I could work, I’d have moved to a tropical forest. If I wanted to spend my time outdoors batting wildly at my head while screaming, “Get away from me, you beasts from hell” I’d have done a remake of “Bedlam.”
And I know I’m not alone. There are a lot of us out there in the Anchorage bowl, hiding in our own special closets with netting covering our entire bodies and fans blowing cold air from ice cubes to help us maintain our sanity.
My dogs scurry through the door to go into the yard at top speed because they fear that their tails will be slammed into the door I’m shutting as quickly as possible to keep the next horde of blood suckers out. They eye me fearfully as I stalk through the rooms of my house, bloody magazine in hand, inspecting walls and ceilings for another evil biter to squash beneath my avenging hand. …

Bloodletting worsens during Alaska’s legendary mosquito infestation
June 30, 2013
The insect uprising — courtesy of a swampy spring and late-season snow — has prompted many Alaskans to wonder when relief will come. …
It’s hard to know, because we have over 40 species in Alaska that rely on different habitats. The large mosquitoes are called the snow mosquitoes, and there are six species of those. They’re much slower, and some people call them “training mosquitoes” to get us ready for the next wave. Those are mostly gone. The ones we are seeing now are mostly in the genus ochlerotatus. They’re smaller and faster.

Late-May snow sets multiple records for Anchorage
The unseasonable snowfall Friday and Saturday has set a slew of new records in Anchorage, the National Weather Service says.
The 2012-13 snow season was 232 days long as of Saturday, the longest on record for the city, according to a Weather Service statement.
The previous record was 230 days, set in 1981-82. The season is measured from the first day of measurable snowfall – Sept. 29 this season – until the last.
The high temperature Friday was 37 degrees, which set a new daily record for the coldest maximum temperature on May 17. The old record was a high of 44 degrees in 1971, according to the Weather Service.
And finally, the 0.3 inches of snowfall on Friday in Anchorage set a daily record for May 17. Another 0.1 inches had fallen by 10 a.m. Saturday, also a daily record.
Here is how much snow landed in each corner of town and in parts of the Mat-Su….

Looks like the last snow pile in our yard will melt today in Anchorage. I have been keeping track of this through the years, and have noticed that this pile is usually melted by April 15th. So our spring thaw was delayed by almost one month this year.
Alaska extended the studded snow tire removal date by one month, also.
So Mother’s Day 2013 will be the last snow in our yard. And we’re at sea level, so hillside and the mountains still have a lot of snow, and also the wooded areas. I was just hiking at Kincaid Park (right near the ocean) a few days ago, and many of the trails were covered with thick snow.
And in the recesses, the ground isn’t thawing enough for the melted snow to sink into the ground, so there are huge puddles to walk around.

Anchorage Daily News posted Tire Reprieve #1 on April 14:
Studded tire reprieve
Published: April 14, 2009
By Anchorage Daily News
Alaska drivers who had faced a deadline of today to remove their studded tires have gotten a reprieve.
They now have until May 1 to ditch the studs. That’s already the deadline for Sterling Highway communities, Anchorage and points north.
State Public Safety Commissioner Joe Masters on Tuesday issued an emergency order to extend the deadline from April 15 to May 1 because of poor road conditions.
Normally, drivers in regions including Kodiak and Southeast Alaska — everything south of 60 degrees north latitude — must have their studs off by April 15.
Anyone driving with studded tires after the deadline can be issued a ticket with a $50 fine for each tire.
Weather continued to be so much colder than normal that ADN then they posted Tire Reprieve #2 on April 30th:
State pushes to May 15 studded tire removal
Published: April 30, 2013
The Associated Press
ANCHORAGE, ALASKA — The state has moved back the deadline to remove studded snow tires.
The Alaska Department of Public Safety says in a release the deadline has been moved to May 15 for all roads in Alaska.
This coming Wednesday was the previous deadline to remove studded tires, but the decision was made to provide safety to drivers on roads in parts of Alaska where winter continues to linger.
“We have enough natural gas alone — if the nation would quit giving it away to the multinational oil companies, and retain it as a natural resource — it could pay off the national debt.”

In the first half, lecturer on new technologies, health and earth science related issues, Dr. Nick Begich, talked about HAARP and the various functions the program performs, including possible weather manipulation. He described HAARP’s ultimate function as “taking the energy of the Earth and manipulating the energy so it begins to flow in directions at your demand.” This energy, he said, can then be used for “a variety of weapons effects” as well as positive applications such as restoring the environment, missile defense, and disrupting comets or asteroids if they pose a danger to the planet. Begich advocated for more open discussion on the risks and rewards associated with the program rather than keeping it shrouded in secrecy.
Regarding suspicions that HAARP could be used to weaponize or modify weather, Begich acknowledged that it is well within the possible functions of the program. Chillingly, he noted that weather warfare is nearly impossible to prove and allows for plausible deniability. “You could literally create the disaster and then get invited in to mop it up,” he observed, “and be the hero rather than the villain.” Beyond the weaponization of weather, Begich warned about the overall dangers of manipulating the climate. He explained that although international treaties allow for domestic use of weather modification, such tinkering could have adverse effects on neighboring nations or the entire planet.

Alaska GOP Ousts Incoming Chairman Russ Millette
On Thursday on Fireweed Lane, an executive committee of Alaska’s Republican Party took a vote and ousted incoming Republican Party chairman, Russ Millette from the Republican Party top spot one day before he could sit in the chair. Since he was not yet in office, Millette did not to vote on his own forced departure.
Prior to the meeting on Thursday, party officials moved over $34,000 from the party’s coffers to the party’s sister group in Juneau on Wednesday, effectively putting the funds out of the incoming chairman’s reach.
Joe Miller ally, Millette, was under the gun for his claims that he was a life-long Republican as well as his lack of fund-raising for the party since he was elected to his position.

Genetically modified Atlantic salmon — known by critics as “Frankenfish” — may soon be available in your local grocer’s seafood aisle. The Food and Drug Administration has given initial approval to the biotech developers of the salmon, clearing the last big hurdle before consumers can purchase the fish.
But consumers won’t know if the salmon they’re buying is genetically engineered or not — U.S. regulations don’t require food made from a genetically modified organism (GMO) to be labeled. That fact, plus the impact the engineered salmon could have on wild salmon stocks, human health and the fishing industry, has critics raising a stink with the FDA, according to the Huffington Post.
The Atlantic salmon developed by Massachusetts-based AquaBounty was genetically modified using DNA material from a Chinook salmon and an eel-like species called an ocean pout. These genes cause the fish to grow twice as fast as wild salmon…

In Anchorage, last Thursday night we had an amazing, GLORIOUS light show! The entire sky to the west, north and east was filled with glorious lights — including overhead! I witnessed this personally, and am even more in awe of God — ‘what would You have me to do?’
I saw an aurora in Anchorage about 20 years ago that was directly overhead, which I’ll never forget. I have said it was like God coming his hair. But this one had so much energy. What blew me away were huge donut shaped pulses almost directly overhead (slightly to the west and north of overhead) that looked like they were slamming down this amazing energy on me, more than one pulse per second. Selah.
And we can expect more gorgeous displays this winter. BUT our power grid and electronics are not EMP protected (explained in the links below), because Congress won’t act to protect our country for just the cost of one stealth bomber.
So hopefully we won’t get a northern lights show that is too wonderful, like has happened in the past, before we had delicate electronics.

Two new ziplines open in Southcentral Alaska
Tourist phenomenon arrives in Southcentral with two new operations this summer
TALKEETNA — You stand on a small wooden platform on a swaying spruce tree staring down at the devil’s club five stories below. Then you look at the steel cable, no thicker than a finger, that you’re counting on to save you from a death plunge and wonder: “Is there a dignified way to back out?”
There isn’t. So you step into thin air. The harness grips you snugly. The rope lifeline holds. Greenery rushes by on all sides. You’re dancing in the sky to the tune of wheels whirring along the cable. Zzzzzzz!
Welcome to the world of ziplines.
Two zipline operations opened in Southcentral Alaska this summer. The cable-ride attractions have become increasingly popular in tourist venues around the world over the past few years. But the Denali Zipline Canopy Adventure Tour, in Talkeetna, and the Nitro, near the Matanuska Glacier, are the first such installations in this part of the state. …

Protesters Rally to Get Rid of Fluoride in Anchorage’s Water Supply
Protesters rally outside Anchorage City Hall to commemorate the victims of a 1992 fluoride accident in Hooper Bay. The group’s goal is to get rid of fluoride in Anchorage’s water supply.
Protesters rally outside Anchorage City Hall to commemorate the victims of a 20-year-old fluoride accident in Hooper Bay.
In 1992, a large amount of fluoride leaked into the Hooper Bay water system and the water systems in surrounding communities. The incident left nearly 300 people sick.
Protesters outside City Hall say they’re hoping to catch Mayor Dan Sullivan or the assembly’s attention to hopefully get rid of fluoride in Anchorage’s water supply.
“It’s really unsafe to have this highly toxic compound put into our water supply,” said Jason Agre, a fluoride protester. Agre says the only benefit of fluoride can be taken care of in a dentist trip, and argues that too much of it can be life threatening. The group says the Anchorage water system is poisoning its citizens and violating human rights.
Fluoride was removed from Juneau, Fairbanks and Palmer’s water supply, however, it is still in Municipality of Anchorage’s water supply.

A few of my fluoride posts — fluoride does make citizens dumb and passive:
Anchorage Daily ‘News’: Giant *5-sentence* article on PALMER, ALASKA BANNING WATER FLUORIDATION — now that Palmer residents will enjoy higher IQ and overall better health than those in nearby Anchorage, whose McClatchy owned newspaper continues its MEDIA BAN on why fluoride ISN’T safe
Anchorage Daily ‘News’ ban on fluoride truth proven! — all 17 fluoride articles during the last 5 years show total blackout of the dangerous health effects of forced water fluoridation, such as lowered IQ, lowered thyroid function, arthritis, etc.!!!
Fenske’s Rant! | Fluoride in Water Linked to Lower IQ in Children — In addition to this study, and the 23 other IQ studies, there have been over 100 animal studies linking fluoride to brain damage
YES!!!!!!! Fairbanks bans fluoride from city water, voting 5-1 — joins Juneau and Kodiak in Alaska. Come on Anchorage!!
YES!!! Palmer, Alaska passes ordinance to end its water fluoridation program!

Don Young: ATF should explain why agents want gun-shop records
“Alaska’s U.S. Rep. Don Young sent a letter to the acting director of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives on Tuesday, asking for an explanation of why ATF agents have been visiting Alaska gun shops, asking for copies of gun and firearm transactions — or, in gun-shop parlance, “bound books.”
“Young acknowledges that while ATF agents are permitted to conduct routine, in-shop compliance inspections, federal law forbids the removal or copying of such material unless there’s an official criminal investigation. One fear is that the ATF will create some sort of list or database of gun owners, which has been illegal since 2011.
“In his letter to B. Todd Jones of ATF, Young wrote that although he’s been receiving these reports from Alaska, it’s “unlikely that these improper activities have only happened in Anchorage.”
“Young told Jones that gun-shop owners who refused the ATF’s request were “then pressured or even intimidated…

Lecturer and author Dr. Nick Begich discussed Project HAARP, and whether it’s capable of affecting the climate or causing earthquakes, as well as updates on mind control and brain altering/enhancing technologies. “Mind effects are one of the most fertile grounds for military planners. It is one of the biggest areas of research in terms of trying to figure out, manipulate, mold, shape, and form the mind,” he noted. While DARPA serves as the lead, almost every branch of the US military explores this kind of technology…
HAARP is an array of antennas in Alaska, and by firing radio frequencies through them, a number of effects can be created such as altering the ionosphere. Begich reported that the secretive program is still active, contrary to rumors that it had closed down. It’s possible HAARP technology could be used for manipulation of weather for control of a battlefield, creating what appears to be natural disasters, as well as earthquake generation using a small amount of energy to trigger a much larger reaction, he detailed. The earth-penetrating tomography function of HAARP uses a pulse rate that correlates to the rhythms of the human brain, which suggests that mind control/influence could be done over a large area through the atmosphere…
