Asahi Shimbun, Sep 2, 2016 (emphasis added): Typhoons cause ‘ice wall’ to melt at Fukushima nuclear plant — Rainfall from recent typhoons caused partial melting of the “ice wall” at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, allowing highly radioactive water to leak from around the damaged reactor buildings… [TEPCO] said melting occurred at two sections of the ice wall… TEPCO officials believe that during the latest typhoon, contaminated water from around the reactor buildings flowed through openings of the ice wall created by the deluge and reached downstream toward the sea… “If there had been an additional 15 cm of rain, (the contaminated water) could have poured out over the ground surface” and spilled into the sea, a TEPCO official said… The Meteorological Agency’s initial forecast said Typhoon No. 10 would bring a maximum 20 cm of rain a day at some locations in the Tohoku region… TEPCO admitted the underground wall of frozen dirt is not working. The company said the temperatures at the two sections of the frozen wall have climbed above zero since Typhoon No. 7 approached Fukushima Prefecture on Aug. 17. The company believes that the partial melting was caused by the influx of water brought by the typhoons and heavy rain in between.
NHK, Sep 1, 2016: Temperatures rose in parts of reactor ice wall — The operator of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant says due to recent heavy rain temperatures rose above zero degrees Celsius in some parts of an underground ice wall…
NHK, Sep 2, 2016: [TEPCO] says a series of storms have been dumping heavy rain in and around the plant since mid-August, pushing up temperatures in some sections of the ice wall. The utility says wall temperatures to the south of the No.4 reactor rose from minus 5 degrees to plus 1.8 degrees at the highest through Thursday. It adds wall temperatures to the east of the No.3 reactor also went up from minus 1.5 degrees to plus 1.4 degrees. Temperatures in these sections had been higher than others parts of the wall even before the storms. It’s feared that some ice in the sections may have melted as the rain increased groundwater flows.
Xinhua, Sep 2, 2016: “Ice wall” around Fukushima nuclear plant melts in 2 places following powerful typhoons — The frozen soil wall built around the crippled Fukushima No.1 nuclear plant have melted in two places following recent powerful typhoons… raising concerns over effect of the approach adopted by [TEPCO] to reduce the massive volume of radioactive water… [It] melted in two places following Powerful [Typhoon] Lionrock, the tenth of the season, battered the region… Groundwater flowing under the nuclear plant is leaking through the melted parts of the wall to outside and TEPCO is trying to refreeze the parts by injecting special chemicals to the wall, said the reports… The project was considered failed by some outside experts at an earlier meeting called by the Nuclear Regulation Authority…
Latin America Herald Tribune, Sep 2016: [TEPCO] Detects Increase in Temperature in Ice Wall in Fukushima… [T]here are fears some sections of the wall could have thawed with the increase in underground water flow… This setback increases pressure on the company, that had barely made progress in bringing down the water still within the reactor basements…
Enformable, Sep 2, 2016: [TEPCO] has announced that the “ice wall”… has been critically affected by rainfall from recent typhoons that have melted parts of the ice structure, allowing new pathways for highly contaminated water to leak from the basements of the reactor buildings… [TEPCO] has had to admit that the $335 million wall of frozen soil and water is not working as designed. TEPCO announced that contaminated water was able to escape from the reactor buildings through the gaps in the ice wall that had melted from the rainfall and likely reached the Pacific Ocean… “The plan to block groundwater with a frozen wall of earth is failing. They need to come up with another solution, even if they keep going forward with the plant,” said Yoshinori Kitsutaka, a professor of engineering at Tokyo Metropolitan University.
Asahi Shimbun, Aug 19, 2016: Panel: TEPCO’s ‘ice wall’ failing at Fukushima nuclear plant – [TEPCO’s] “frozen wall of earth” has failed to prevent groundwater from entering the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, and the utility needs a new plan to address the problem, experts said. An expert panel with the Nuclear Regulation Authority received a report from TEPCO on the current state of the project on Aug. 18. The experts said the ice wall project, almost in its fifth month, has shown little or no success. “The plan to block groundwater with a frozen wall of earth is failing,” said panel member Yoshinori Kitsutaka, a professor of engineering at Tokyo Metropolitan University… The water becomes contaminated with radioactive materials within the reactor buildings. TEPCO’s plan was to create a frozen wall of earth around the reactor buildings to divert the groundwater away from the plant and into the ocean… But the amount of groundwater pumped from the ocean side of the frozen wall has shown little change from when there was no icy earth wall… [T]he readings above freezing were in areas with high levels of groundwater concentration…

"The other major nations of the world are not so much ganging up on America, as Hillary would have it, but reasonably attempting to ring-fence the mad bull that the USA has become — as the two candidates vie to start World War Three with China and Russia respectively. The last resort of the scoundrels in today’s version of the “yellow press” is to blame Russia for attempting to meddle in our election. War, children, it’s just a shot away."

WIPP is now a "sacrifice zone" after a 2014 accident in which plutonium and americium were exploded out of barrels and contaminated 13 workers on the top surface, even through heavy filtration, on VALENTINES NIGHT (good lord what were they doing at a nuclear waste facility).
They have spent $2B to try to "recover" and have now decided to just wall off much of the area they were recovering. A total loss.

"World War next anyone?
The U.S. has intervened in 50 countries since WWII to establish their own puppet governments and sycophantic supporters. The results are what we see today: a world that is increasingly close to a third world war – not because of Russian aggression, but because of the U.S.’ failing empire, its unpayable economic debt policy, its military violence spread over much of the world, and its desire to guard the US$ as the hegemonic global reserve fiat currency.
Our good ally Saudi Arabia, implicated in 9/11, known to support jihadis throughout the world, known to support ISIS in the Middle East, committing war crimes and crimes against civilians in Yemen, with an archaic fundamentalist tribal government, complements our association with the U.S. The only reason they survive is that they are ‘useful idiots’ for U.S. foreign policy and geostrategic/economic policies and thus our foreign policy.
With all this interplay of forces in the Middle East, with a declining debt ridden violent empire as our neighbour that pits a war-mongering lying chicken hawk against a xenophobic misogynist racist bigot, the future does not look too bright."

They did it with help from a complicit and corrupt elite media which dutifully branded anyone who disagreed with the progressive agenda as a racist bigot.
Average hoard-working Americans are mad as hell and the elites have no idea how deep that anger goes.

This piece from Zero Hedge puts things in perspective:
The Elite “Have No Idea” – Society Is Near The Breaking Point
What I find most surprising today is that the insiders and the elite have no idea what is percolating just beneath the surface. Okay, maybe their arrogance actually produces its own fog, so it should not come as a surprise that they are blinded. They do not look at the calendar, which, if one really looks, says “1788” on it. Something is close. Very close. Society is near the breaking point.

christian violence…no big secret
St Alban was one of the first notable people to be burned at the stake, and that took place in AD 304. The practice then enjoyed a long period of fervent approval as a method for dealing with heretics, witches and other sorts of people, but if you thought it was just a medieval practice, you’d be wrong.
While the last man to be burned alive for heresy in England, Edward Wightman, was executed in 1612, a witch was burned at the stake in 1708. The last woman to die in such a manner (in Scotland) was Christine Murphy, who perished on 18 March 1789. And finally, a Jew was burned (by the Spanish Inquisition) in Spain in 1826. That’s not even 200 years ago! Of course we had the Salem witch hangings in 1692, and make no mistake…the ape-man three pound brain is the same as it always was…in fact a little worse now because the IQ and brain size is shrinking.

Edward Wightmann, I'm not agreeing that he should have been put to death,
but he said that anyone who disagreed that he was the Messiah and the Holy Spirit should receive everlasting death.
“• That he, Edward Wightman, was the promised Messiah of the Old Testament;
“• That he was the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete;
“• That to deny that he was divine was blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, worthy of everlasting death;…”

Nuclear First Strike
Some believe that a nuclear first strike will ‘first’ involve a salvo of EMP detonations at high altitude (potentially via orbiting satellites, or launched from submarines or even off-shore freighters). This will likely take down the power grid, followed by a first wave of nuclear strike. . I will be out in the yard trying to catch one on the way down to make sure I’m one of the instantly vaporized so I don’t have to live with the aftermath of such an event.
Very very few can survive the fallout of an EMT. We will be plunged into darkness. Few know how to start a fire, hunt and build shelter as you will swiftly have to get on your feet and flee your area because of mehamn. Limited communication, no fuel, no food or water….
Global Nuclear Weapons
12,000 (Russia)
9,400 (USA)
300 (France)
240 (China) (Likely lots more than this)
225 (UK)
90 (Pakistan)
80 (India)
80 (Israel)
10 (N. Korea) (More?)

The actual Russian nuclear war plan holds nothing back on the assumption that even a limited exchange on the US an and Russian homeland will be impossible to contain.

Ret·ri·bu·tion

punishment, penalty, one's just deserts.
The US
An EMP, or probably several WILL be detonated over America in the opening minutes of WWIII, but they will be swiftly followed by a MASSIVE SLBM nuclear barrage, followed by the even MORE MASSIVE ICBM barrage.
NO NATION is going to light up an EMP, and that’s that.
The USA would know who did it and the retribution from the Boomers
would be mind-blowing.
The first strike will not be to knock America down.
It will be to OBLITERATE the USA.
There will be NOTHING left for the Boomers that are left out there

Paint is blistering
Poor oversight,

He'll say are you married
We'll say no man
That's why we took the job —
there's meltdowns
Later on
We'll conspire
As we lie about the fire
To face unafraid
The mess that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland.
