Fernando Kaskais

Even the tiniest mistake during an operation to extract over 1,300 fuel rods at the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan could lead to a series of cascading failures with an apocalyptic outcome, fallout researcher Christina Consolo told RT. Fukushima operator TEPCO wants to extract 400 tons worth of spent fuel rods stored in a pool at the plant’s damaged Reactor No. 4. The removal would have to be done manually from the top store of the damaged building in the radiation-contaminated environment. In the worst-case scenario, a mishandled rod may go critical, resulting in an above-ground meltdown releasing … Continue reading Fukushima apocalypse: Years of ‘duct tape fixes’ could result in ‘millions of deaths’

The Spiritual Nature of Hair

Fernando Kaskais

“Our hair fashions might be just a trend, but if we investigate, we may find that we have been depriving ourselves of one of the most valuable sources of energy for human vitality.” -Yogi Bhajan Consider the possibility that the hair on your head is there to do more than just look good. Man is the only creature who grows longer hair on his head as he grows into adulthood. Left uncut, your hair will grow to a particular length and then stop all by itself at the correct length for you.

Fernando Kaskais

Scientists split over whether Nasa probe has finally left the solar system after 36 years It’s 36 years since Voyager 1 was dispatched in 1977 on a mission to send back images of Jupiter’s turbulent atmosphere and volcanic eruptions on one of its moons, Io. Then it was due to travel on to Saturn to examine that planet’s intricate system of rings and moons. But after travelling more than 11bn miles, where is Voyager now? No one, it seems, knows for sure. Nasa scientists including Edward Stone, the father of the programme at Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, say … Continue reading Is Voyager 1 really out of the solar system?

Fernando Kaskais

A new study offers further proof that coffee research is schizophrenic. Your memory will get better. It will kill you. You won’t commit suicide. It will kill you. You might not get Alzheimer’s. It will kill you. You might not get a stroke. It will kill you. Tracking scientific research on coffee consumption is to subject oneself to peaks and dips more dramatic than any caffeine rush and crash. Apparently, the medical profession can’t decide if coffee is going to save or ruin us all. The latest research is decidedly in the later camp: Drinking more than four cups a … Continue reading Maybe Coffee Will Kill Us After All

BREAKING: Illegal StarLink™ GM Corn Resurfaces in Saudi Arabian Food Supply

Fernando Kaskais

StarLink™ maize, the first genetically modified organism to be pulled off the market over a decade ago due to safety concerns, was recently found to be contaminating food products in Saudi Arabia. Does this mean that an illegal form of GM corn is still being produced in the US? And if so, renewed testing of US corn-containing products intended for human consumption both domestically and abroad should be initiated immediately. A new study published in the journal Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology titled, “Prevalence of Genetically Modified Rice, Maize, and Soy in Saudi Food Products,” indicates there is widespread contamination of … Continue reading BREAKING: Illegal StarLink™ GM Corn Resurfaces in Saudi Arabian Food Supply

5 Companies That Make Money By Keeping Americans Terrified of Terror Attacks

Fernando Kaskais

A massive industry profits off the government-induced fear of terrorism. Michael Hayden, the former director of the National Security Agency, has invaded America’s television sets in recent weeks to warn about Edward Snowden’s leaks and the continuing terrorist threat to America. But what often goes unmentioned, as the Guardian’s Glenn Greenwald pointed out, is that Hayden has a financial stake in keeping Americans scared and on a permanent war footing against Islamist militants. And the private firm he works for, called the Chertoff Group, is not the only one making money by scaring Americans. Post-9/11 America has witnessed a boom … Continue reading 5 Companies That Make Money By Keeping Americans Terrified of Terror Attacks
