12 Things That The Mainstream Media Is Being Strangely Quiet About Right Now
June 20th, 2011
Translation by Autumnson Blog

As the mainstream media continues to be obsessed with Anthony Weiner and his bizarre adventures on Twitter, much more serious events are happening around the world that are getting very little attention. In America today, if the mainstream media does not cover something it is almost as if it never happened. Right now, the worst nuclear disaster in human history continues to unfold in Japan , U.S. nuclear facilities are being threatened by flood waters, the U.S. military is bombing Yemen, gigantic cracks in the earth are appearing all over the globe and the largest wildfire in Arizona history is causing immense devastation. But Anthony Weiner, Bristol Palin and Miss USA are what the mainstream media want to tell us about and most Americans are buying it.

In times like these, it is more important than ever to think for ourselves. The corporate-owned mainstream media is not interested in looking out for us. Rather, they are going to tell us whatever fits with the agenda that their owners are pushing.

That is why more Americans than ever are turning to the alternative media. Americans are hungry for the truth, and they know that the amount of truth that they get from the mainstream media continues to decline.

The following are 12 things that the mainstream media is being strangely quiet about right now....
以下是12件事情主流傳媒現正奇怪地保持緘默的....
#1 The crisis at the Fort Calhoun nuclear facility in Nebraska has received almost no attention in the national mainstream media.
＃1在內布拉斯加卡爾霍恩堡核設施的危機幾乎沒有受到全國主流媒體的重視。
Back on June 7th, there was a fire at Fort Calhoun. The official story is that the fire was in an electrical switchgear room at the plant. The facility lost power to a pump that cools the spent fuel pool for approximately 90 minutes. According to the Omaha Public Power District, the fire was quickly extinguished and no radioactive material was released.

The following sequence of events is directly from  the Omaha Public Power District website....

There was no such imminent danger with the Fort Calhoun Station spent-fuel pool.
Due to a fire in an electrical switchgear room at FCS on the morning of June 7, the plant temporarily lost power to a pump that cools the spent-fuel pool.
The fire-suppression system in that switchgear room operated as designed, extinguishing the fire quickly.
FCS plant operators switched the spent-fuel pool cooling system to an installed backup pump about 90 minutes after the loss of power.
During the interruption of cooling, temperature of the pool increased a few degrees, but the pool was never in danger of boiling.
Due to this situation, FCS declared an Alert at about 9:40 a.m. on June 7.
An alert is the second-least-serious of four emergency classifications established by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
At about 1:15 p.m. on June 7, FCS operators declared they had taken all appropriate measures to safely return to the previously declared Notification of Unusual Event emergency classification. (See first item above.)

But the crisis at Fort Calhoun is not over. Right now, the nuclear facility at Fort Calhoun is essentially an island. It is surrounded by rising flood waters from the Missouri River.
但卡爾霍恩堡的危機還沒過去，目前卡爾霍恩堡的核設施本質上是一個島嶼，四周環以從密蘇里河來的上升洪水。
Officials claim that there is no danger and that they are prepared for the river to rise another ten feet.

The Cooper Nuclear Station in Brownville, Nebraska is also being threatened by rising flood waters. A "Notification of Unusual Event" was declared at Cooper Nuclear Station this morning at 4:02. This notification was issued because the Missouri River's water level reached 42.5 feet.

Right now the facility is operating normally and officials don't expect a crisis.

But considering what has been going on at Fukushima, it would be nice if we could have gotten a lot more coverage of these events by the mainstream media.

#2 Most Americans are aware that the U.S. is involved in wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya. However, the truth is that the U.S. military is also regularly bombing Yemen and parts of Pakistan. If you count the countries where the U.S. has special forces and/or covert operatives on the ground, the U.S. is probably "active" in more countries in the Middle East than it is not. Now there are even persistent rumors that U.S. ground units are being prepared to go into Libya. Are we watching the early stages of World War 3 unfold before our eyes in slow motion?
＃2 大多數美國人都知道，美國參與了在伊拉克、阿富汗和利比亞的戰爭，但事實是，美國軍方亦經常轟炸也門和巴基斯坦的部分。如果數算國家美國在地面上有特種部隊和/或隱蔽行動的地方，美國可能在更多的中東國家地區是“活躍”的，現在甚至有不斷傳言，美國的地面部隊正準備進入利比亞，難道我們以慢鏡頭在我們的眼前看著世三戰的初期在展現？
#3 The crisis at Fukushima continues to get worse. Arnold Gundersen, a former nuclear industry senior vice president, recently made the following statement about the Fukushima disaster....
＃3 福島危機繼續惡化，一位前核工業的高級副總裁阿諾德岡德森，最近對福島災難作出以下聲明....

"Fukushima is the biggest industrial catastrophe in the history of mankind"
“福島是人類歷史中最大的工業災難”

TEPCO has finally admitted that this disaster has released more radioactive material into the environment than Chernobyl did. That makes Fukushima the worst nuclear disaster of all time, and it is far from over.

Massive amounts of water is being poured into the spent fuel pools in order to keep them cool. This is creating "hundreds of thousands of tons of highly radioactive sea water" that has got to go somewhere. Inevitably much of it will get into the ground and into the sea.

Arnold Gundersen says that the scope of this problem is almost unimaginable....

"TEPCO announced they had a melt through. A melt down is when the fuel collapses to the bottom of the reactor, and a melt through means it has melted through some layers. That blob is incredibly radioactive, and now you have water on top of it. The water picks up enormous amounts of radiation, so you add more water and you are generating hundreds of thousands of tons of highly radioactive water."

The mainstream media is not paying as much attention to Fukushima these days, but that doesn't mean that it is not a major league nightmare.

Elevated levels of radiation are being reported by Japanese bloggers all over eastern Japan. There are reports of sick children all over the region. One adviser to the government of Japan says that an area approximately 17 times the size of Manhattan is probably going to be uninhabitable.

Of course the mainstream media has been telling us all along that Fukushima is nothing to be too concerned about and that authorities in Japan have everything under control.

If the mainstream media is not going to tell us the truth, how are they going to continue to have credibility?
如果主流媒體不會告訴我們真相，他們如何去繼續有公信力？

#4 Members of Congress continue to mention Christians as a threat to national security. For example, during a recent Congressional hearing U.S. Representative Sheila Jackson Lee warned that "Christian militants" might try to "bring down the country" and that such groups need to be investigated.
＃4國會議員繼續提出基督徒對國家安全是一種威脅，例如，在最近的一次國會聽證會上，美國代表希拉傑克遜李警告，“基督教武裝分子”可能嘗試“搞垮國家”，而這些組織需要被調查。

#5 China's eastern province of Zhejiang has experienced that worst flooding that it has seen in 55 years. 2 million people have already been forced to leave their homes. China has already been having huge problems with their crops over the past few years and this is only going to make things worse.
＃5 中國的東部省份浙江經歷55年來最嚴重的洪水，已見2百萬人被迫離開家園。中國在過去幾年在他們的作物方面已經有巨大問題，而這是只會使事情變得更糟。

#6 Thanks to the Dodd-Frank Act, over the counter trading of gold and silver is going to be illegal starting on July 15th. Or at least that is what some companies apparently now believe. The following is an excerpt from an email that Forex.com recently sent out to their customers....
＃6 感謝多德-弗蘭克法案，非交易所的黃金和白銀交易從7月15日開始將是非法的，或至少那是一些公司顯然現在相信，以下是摘自一封Fores.com的電子郵件，最近發出給他們的客戶的....

Important Account Notice Re: Metals Trading

We wanted to make you aware of some upcoming changes to FOREX.com’s product offering. As a result of the Dodd-Frank Act enacted by US Congress, a new regulation prohibiting US residents from trading over the counter precious metals, including gold and silver, will go into effect on Friday, July 15, 2011.

In conjunction with this new regulation, FOREX.com must discontinue metals trading for US residents on Friday, July 15, 2011 at the close of trading at 5pm ET. As a result, all open metals positions must be closed by July 15, 2011 at 5pm ET.

We encourage you to wind down your trading activity in these products over the next month in anticipation of the new rule, as any open XAU or XAG positions that remain open prior to July 15, 2011 at approximately 5:00 pm ET will be automatically liquidated.

We sincerely regret any inconvenience complying with the new U.S. regulation may cause you. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact our customer service team.

Sincerely,
The Team at FOREX.com

Apparently, Section 742(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act prohibits anyone "from entering into, or offering to enter into, a transaction in any commodity with a person that is not an eligible contract participant or an eligible commercial entity, on a leveraged or margined basis."

So what impact is this going to have on the gold and silver markets?
那麼黃金和白銀市場將有什麼影響？
Nobody is quite sure yet.
但仍沒有人是頗肯定的。

#7 All over the world, huge cracks are appearing for no discernible reason. For example, a massive crack that is approximately 3 kilometers long recent appeared in southern Peru. Also, a 500 foot long crack suddenly appeared recently in the state of Michigan. When you also throw in all of the gigantic sinkholes that have been opening all over the world, it is easy to conclude that the planet is becoming very unstable.
＃7 在世界各地，巨大的裂縫出現於無明顯原因，例如一條約 3公里長的巨大裂縫最近在秘魯南部出現，亦有一絛 500英尺長的裂縫最近突然出現在美國密歇根州。當你亦增添在全世界開遍的所有巨大沉洞，很容易會得出結論地球正在變得非常不穩定。
#8 According to U.S. Forest Service officials, the largest wildfire in Arizona state history has now covered more than 500,000 acres. But based on the coverage it is being given by the mainstream media you would think that it is a non-event.
＃8 據美國林務局官員，亞利桑那州歷史上最大的野火已覆蓋超過 50萬多畝，但基於主流媒體給出的報導，你會認為它並非一件甚麼事件。
#9 There are reports that North Korea has tested a "super EMP weapon" which would be capable of taking out most of the U.S. power grid in a single shot. The North Koreans are apparently about to conduct another nuclear test and that has some Obama administration officials very concerned.
＃9有報導朝鮮試射一“超級 EMP武器”，那將能以一擊做低美國大部分電網。北韓顯然即將進行另一次核試，並且引起一些奧巴馬政府官員的非常關注。
#10 All over the United States, "active shooter drills" are being conducted in our public schools. Often, most of the students are not told that these drills are fake. Instead, students often go through hours of terror as they think a hostage situation or a shooting spree is really taking place.
＃10 在全美國各地，“積極的射擊演習”正在公立學校進行。通常，大多數學生沒有被告訴這些演習是假的；相反，學生往往要經歷數小時的恐怖，當他們以為人質情況或槍擊事件是真的在發生中。
#11 NASA has just launched a "major" preparedness initiative for all NASA personnel. The following is an excerpt about this plan  from NASA's own website....
＃11 美國航空航天局對所有NASA人員剛推出一項“重大”倡議，以下是摘錄自國航空航天局自己的網站有關此計劃 ....

A major initiative has been placed on Family/Personal Preparedness for all NASA personnel. The NASA Family/Personal Preparedness Program is designed to provide awareness, resources, and tools to the NASA Family (civil servants and contractors) to prepare for an emergency situation. The most important assets in the successful completion of NASA’s mission are our employees’ and their families. We are taking the steps to prepare our workforce, but it is your personal obligation to prepare yourself and your families for emergencies.

#12 Over the past week  over 40 temporary "no fly zones" have been declared by the FAA. This is very highly unusual. Nobody seems to know exactly why this is happening.
＃12 在過去一周超過 40個臨時“禁飛區”已由美國聯邦航空局宣布，這是非常高度罕見的。似乎沒有人確切地知道為什麼發生這種情況。
So what do all of these things mean?

It would be nice if the mainstream media would examine some of these important issues more closely and do some honest reporting on them.

Perhaps you have an opinion on some of these issues. Feel free to share what you think by leaving a comment below....
