Japan Nuclear Reactors in Full Meltdown
Not trying be a scaremonger, but more and more experts are saying that the Fukushima catastrophe is now a full-blown meltdown:
When the Fukushima Meltdown Hits Groundwater
By Dr. Tom Burnett
March 27, 2011
Via Hawaii News Daily
"Fukushima is going to dwarf Chenobyl. The Japanese government has had a level 7 nuclear disaster going for almost a week but won’t admit it."
"At Fukushima, the reactor cores are still melting down. The ONLY way to stop that is to detonate a ~10 kiloton fission device inside each reactor containment vessel and hope to vaporize the cores. That’s probably a bad solution."
"A nuclear meltdown is a self-sustaining reaction. Nothing can stop it except stopping the reaction. And that would require a nuclear weapon. In fact, it would require one in each containment vessel to merely stop what is going on now. But it will be messy."

David Bowie's "Toy" Internet Smash Hit
Just a few days ago, David Bowie's unreleased album Toy was leaked online:
"A decade after it was shelved by his label, David Bowie's 23rd studio album has been leaked on the internet. Toy, conceived as a reimagining of Bowie's early work, appeared on file-sharing websites this week, with Bowie's reps refusing to comment."
"A week after an Australian man sold a purported copy of Toy on eBay (it sold for £62.98), a CD-quality MP3 version of the album suddenly appeared on BitTorrent, spreading like (ziggy) stardust."
And, as usual, here is another account on how Toy was leaked:
"The album's original uploader goes by the online nickname Brigstow which is a word play on where he comes from - Bristol, UK."
"Brigstow's reasons for uploading "Toy" sound just as unconventional as the site he chose to upload the album on. He wanted to put a stop to what he considered gross exploitation from eBay sellers that were posting "Toy" album CDs for auction starting at as much as $55 per piece."
"Brigstow stated categorically that the upload was based on a bootleg CD he bought, although initial rumors had stated the unknown uploader had bought the CD from Australia via eBay. "
Well, now it is all on Youtube and here is one of the highlights entitled "Shadow Man":

Japan Prediction: Nuclear Holocaust, Tokyo Evacuated
March 19, 2011: Via NEWiS - Exclusive!!! Who predicted disaster in Japan
In the early 2000s, Russian blogger/engineer Artem Dragunov had a motorcycle accident and was in a coma for 2 days. After that he started having dreams about the future, writing them on his blog, and many of them have come true! On February 21, 2011 he predicted the recent earthquake in Japan.
And his future prediction for Japan is very dire:
And on March 11th, the day of the quake, he wrote the below comment on his blog Guest from the Future Dream 20022011:
"Let's count. Dreamed a dream the night of Feb. 21. Today 11. Three weeks shorter.
Just at that time dreamed of a lot of water and a couple of big fucking. 11 plus 21 - the beginning of May. HERE Remember - early May .."
Hopefully, this time he'll be wrong.

From North Korea: 'Pyongyang Style' by Steve Gong
Steve Gong recently went to North Korea and filmed this stunningly beautiful video with a hidden camera:
"Pretty much the only way anyone can visit North Korea is by joining a tour. The entire time while you’re in North Korea, you’re not allowed to go anywhere without minders following you around. These tour guides also restrict the amount of contact you can have with the locals, and it’s extremely difficult, if not impossible, to have any chances of interacting with a North Korean civilian.
This video is an insight into just that – what interacting with a North Korean civilian might be like."

Japan's Earthquake Alarm System TV Broadcast
Here is a truly incredible video showing how Japan's ElarmS system worked:
"ElarmS, or Earthquake Alarm Systems, can provide warning of ground shaking during an earthquake. The objective is to rapidly detect the initiation of an earthquake, estimate the level of ground shaking to be expected, and issue a warning before significant ground shaking starts."
