Pedo-lovin liars toss Fuku-kids on the Fire

One of the things you always have to remind and ask yourself in business is, “What is your purpose? What is it you’re trying to do?” If you focus on what it is you’re trying to do that will help you avoid the trap of getting caught up in how you’ve done things before. ~ Steve Forbes, Editor-in-chief of Forbes Magazine

Pretty much everyone in America has heard of Forbes Magazine, which gears itself towards “Information for the world’s business leaders.” Their focus is primarily economic news, but occasionally they feel a rush of technical savvy and undeserved confidence in writing about complicated issues like the health effects resulting from massive, un-contained nuclear accidents. Getting only about 5% or so of the information correct doesn’t seem to be a concern for them, either. Unless of course, as we see so often in the mainstream media, there is an ulterior motive for sharing such drivel. Sometimes, the writers affiliations in other branches of said industry…in this case obviously nuclear…can also be a clue to why an article would be so skewed and incorrect (more on that later). One shining example of this kind of bs journalism was Forbes Magazines’ most recent article on the health effects of children living around the Fukushima nightmare, of which I am still fielding questions and emails about almost 2 weeks after its publication.311 kitty

The article, titled “Scaring the Japanese people with radiation is criminal” by Dr James Conca, flounders like a bipolar drunk between tired pro-nuke arguments and making confusing statements to justify its many contrived points, some of which don’t even make any sense at all. I had to look twice at his education because I couldn’t believe a doctor could be so irresponsible when it comes to the health of children, but turns out he’s just a PhD. In fact, the article was so poorly written, I wasn’t going to even be bothered addressing the many inconsistencies and blatant lies contained within it, because they were so obviously wrong. The whole thing just reeks of desperation. But after watching the nuclear shills throwing this article in everyone’s face over the past few days on twitter, I decided it would be a worthwhile dissection, if nothing more than to hopefully ruin a few nuke-lovers’ long weekends. And when I started digging into the sordid past and unholy alliances of both Steve Forbes and the writer James Conca, the article basically started writing itself. So, here we go.

Conca writes:

“I realize many journals and on-line publications need sensational headlines to attract readers. It seems necessary in these times of social media and 24-hour news cycles.”

Oh, you mean like the headline I used for this article? It might actually be funny, if it weren’t true. Of course, Conca is no dummy, or he wouldn’t be writing for a propaganda rag like Forbes. Some of his more recent titles show he employs this technique as well, with headings like “Why on earth is China afraid of Plutonium in Japan?” “EPA hits nuclear power with Kryptonite” or “Hurray for Carbon Rules!” and yes, exclamation point in the title, because he is about 5. Of course, with the top searches on Forbes‘ website being “Highest paid athletes” and “Celebrity 100″ – it’s a fairly safe assumption that most Forbes readers probably don’t give a sh*t about radiation anyway, but we’ll trudge on for those who do.

“…it becomes unethical to push bad science without doing at least a little due diligence. A recent textbook case of this malfeasance is the Fukushima-induced thyroid scare in Japanese children. There is no increase in thyroid health problems in Japanese children living in and around the Prefectures of Fukushima and it is unlikely there ever will be (UN Report; Nuclear News; J. of Am. Phys. and Surg.; CBCnews; Hiroshima Syndrome; National Geographic; Asahi Shimbun)”.

WHOA hold on. Right off the bat, we can see how sketchy his support for his article will be. Conca uses sources from the UN (Agenda 21), mainstream news in Canada and Japan (who lied about air results, turned off monitors, or just ignored them all together), Hiroshima Syndrome (which has nothing to do with physical health, but rather describes the fear of all other things nuclear – which is smart, not derogatory), and the vapid documentaries of National Geographic. As nuclear researchers we are used to the absolute garbage from NatGeo about the health effects from Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, perhaps Conca is not. Most likely though he is just cherry-picking data to boost his case, another tactic we see on almost a daily basis to downplay the effects of radiation on health.

“However, many so-called researchers, activists and reporters claim thyroid cancers have exploded311 83507-children-dosimeter-16z20110621gz0jpg0002150060 in Japan and Japanese children are dying by the thousands (Business Insider; Eco Child’s Play). They intentionally compared the wrong data sets, data sets that were not comparable, that used different methods, looked at different characteristics, even different ages.”

The 2 cited pieces gives readers a warm fuzzy feeling that sources are linked, and that Conca can back up his crap, even though the Eco link actually goes nowhere. The link that doeswork to Business Insider points to interesting evidence that does support a growing body of data and knowledge that this accident is far worse than anyone has been officially told. The only person who said “Thousands of kids are dying in Japan” is Conca himself, in his own article. Someone like him, being all wrapped up in Agenda 21 and all, should at least be familiar with the term Precautionary Principle and why you use this approach when the health of children are at stake, especially in the absence of hard data, which by the time you get it is unfortunately too late, especially during and after nuclear accidents, which history has shown, repeatedly. It would appear Conca may have an axe to grind with Business Insider, too…perhaps because of that long-standing issue of BI breaking the story on Steve Forbes’ pedo cover-up? Naw, I’m sure that has nothing to do with why Forbes Mag would try to make them look bad… right?

“These news entities are not particularly known for their treatment of scientific issues and might be forgiven for not recognizing bad research, but just a phone call to a real scientist would have gone a long way to preventing this scare.”

To what “real scientist” shall we direct our calls? How about Alexy Yablokov, for starters? Or the Nesterenkos? Or Yuri Bandazkevsky, who was imprisoned for years for connecting (and proving) that radiation affects children’s hearts? Or should we consult with the same government scientists that Conca associates with…the ones that all play for the same ‘team’ as him? Yeah, no thanks.

“However, these we-want-to show-children-dying-so-everyone-will-hate-nuclear-energy types have purposefully compared the total data sets knowing full well that the recent ones would have thousands more small nodules not reported in the older data and, therefore, would make it appear that Fukushima had a huge health effect on children.”
