The comments on the last blog have some good links:
Nearly a third of all babies born after 3/11/11 are more likely to have thyroid issues. If you recall, radiation interferes with the thyroid. A good page here on what happens to the body.
More here.
Another link to a comments page about nuclear fallout and its affects on those in the military:
We think there are 150,000 more Atomic Veterans across the U.S. who do not know that their oath of secrecy has been recended, since 1963, and who also may not know that they may be entitled to VA benefits. The National Association of Atomic Veterans ( NAAV ) was formed in 1979 to assist Atomic Vet’s in accessing the VA system, for the purposes of getting treatment and compensation for a host of health issues precipitated by their exposure to ionizing radiation particles while proudly serving their country, as Mr. Beatty did, at Operation Crossroads… We continue to get phone calls, weekly, from A-vets who have recently been made aware of our organization, and who are in need of assistance in these areas. We look forward to hearing from anyone who may read this article…… Our website is: http://www.naav.com

Pass the word–perhaps this will help someone affected and not knowing where to go for help.
~~A side story on the chemical spill in West Virginia…criminy, if this isn’t nature slapping us in the face, warning us that we’re inept in dealing with this stuff, I don’t know what is…nature can only endure so much.
The attitude that the river will “take care of it” is utter bullshit. It’s just going to go somewhere else and cause health issues for the unfortunate ones.
Meanwhile, the Koch brothers have a pile of petcoke right next to the river in Detroit…**edited: I stand corrected. It has been removed….but the report fails to tell us where the pile was moved to..? Wanna bet it was to some poor neighborhood?
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
