We cut short our stay at the Travellers Inn in Hapao. The road is wet, muddy, unfinished, narrow. We decided to go back to Banaue and just stay there overnight. Found out later on that our planned trip to Sagada will now have to be cancelled due to a landslide that makes our route impassable. We were thinking of passing through sagada, on to the Cervantes road and into Ilocos Sur then up to Pagudpud.

Change of plans. This morning, we went down from the Banaue Hotel to the Tam-An village where we mingled with the Ifugao and shopped. Then at 10 am we set off for Tuguegarao. Nice 2 way “highway”, must overtake the pesky slow motorbikes, tricylcles, jeeps and carabaos.

Gosh, Isabela hills are all shamelessly nude. Seems logging to everything, every single tree. It’s so boring in this route.

Saw a lot of mono culture fields of crops, some cows, some carabaos, some goats.

We finally arrived in Tuguegarao. Billeted ourselves in a nice hotel with closed garage. Heard carnapping was pretty rampant in this city.

First thing in the morning tomorrow and we are off to Pagudpud.

Fukushima, Japan – The Japanese government has issued the evacuation order on March 12 for the residents living within the 20 kilometer radius of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

Since then, residents have left their homes, and the “no man land” has been out of touch with the rest of the world.

A Japanese journalist, Tetsuo Jimbo, ventured through the evacuation zone last Sunday, and filed the following video report.

He says that, inside the evacuation zone, homes,building, roads and bridges, which were torn down by Tsunami, are left completely untouched, and the herd of cattle and pet dogs, left behind by the owners, wonders around the town while the radiation level remains far beyond legal limits.

And a great work of investigative journalism by Al Jazeera’s Dahr Jamail: Fukushima: A ‘nuclear sacrifice zone’ Some experts believe Japan’s nuclear disaster could become worse than Chernobyl.

Nuclear safety agency spokesman Hidehiko Nishiyama on April 3 offered the first sense of how long it might take to bring an end to the nuclear crisis.

“It would take a few months until we finally get things under control and have a better idea about the future,” said Nishiyama, “We’ll face a crucial turning point within the next few months, but that is not the end.”

Ramana explained to Al Jazeera that he sees the current situation as being the “best case scenario,” because “the wind has been largely over the ocean, there haven’t been any more major explosions, and none of the spent fuel areas have had a major fire.”

Worst case scenario

“There could be a core that gets molten, and we could have an explosion,” Ramana said of what he believes would be a worst-case scenario, “This isn’t likely, but it is possible.”

Japan’s Fukushima disaster is like a bad long script. Everything that can go wrong will go wrong and the worst case scenarios are miniscule compared to reality. The government spokesperson here is all torn up, crying as he reads the report. The report is just bad, very, very, very bad.

Reactors 5 & 6 are being flooded by the f’ing seawater they’ve been using to cool numbers 1-4, and are at risk of losing their cooling systems!

So the Japanese water table underneath Fukushima is all polluted. And that extends to how wide an area? Now the ocean will be polluted, and how long should that radioactive pollution last? And what about the bounties of the sea? Now unfit for human consumption? For how long?

I expect our local fish export prices to go up as Japanese people will opt not to eat local Japanese sea food. I expect high sea food prices. And how about fresh water? Japan will be importing tons and tons of freshwater now. Darn. How does one get into the freshwater exporting business?

Well that’s it, no hamachi sashimi for me in the next few years… if ever.

Comet ELEnin update: Did you notice that the name for this comet by chance is ELEnin where ELE stands for Extinction Level Event? Sounds like the name used for this comet is trying to tell us something. This is it ELE, prepare or be doomed. I’ll bite. My family is making preparations. Initially rent several possible safe havens and make arrangements with friends for possible refuge. We need food, water and shelter. Prepare for possible massive long term blackouts and the biggest baddest earthquakes, tsunami and awakening dormant volcanoes. We are still in the process of locating safe areas. Anyone who would like to volunteer us safe refuge is welcome to offer! Thanks in advance!

See the nice Hollywood music video below? Well, we don’t have the luxury of that tiny asteroid like in that movie.

Private investigations by independent astronomers think this comet Elenin is just part of a solar system hurtling inwards towards our sun. This solar system has in its center a massive brown dwarf at least 2.5x the mass of Jupiter and a collection of asteroids or planetoids orbiting around it.

Other independent astronomers are eager to corroborate or disprove these observations, so let’s wait a while.

So how near will comet Elenin come to earth? 0.24 AU? Just how big is elenin’s rock inside? 3-4km as Leonid Elenin first guestimated. But the coma could expand to the size of the sun just like comet holmes did? And what about the massive size of the brown dwarf said to be at least 2.5x that of Jupiter? Is 0.24 going to be too close for comfort?

This does not change our plans nor the need for preparations if it was just one tiny comet elenin. It just changes the magnitude of possible damage from a mere cometary disturbance to possible armageddon.

If you are a sun watcher monitoring the sun’s daily CME outbursts, you will note that CME outbursts are in grand scales these days and they are twisting the earth’s magnetic fields. Compasses are going haywire in certain parts of the world. It is likely that this comet and the brown dwarf system package is flaring up our sun. But there’s more. Lots more.

I’d like to take you to the keen observations of a man code named: Terral

AstrolPatriot Releases Nibiru Information

And the last link is what intrigued me the most as I’m an amateur astronomer myself. My telescope was lost in the flood, so I should buy a new one to independently verify these things myself.

If you are an amateur astronomer and you have the equipment, go and verify this information yourself.

You can find comet Elenin / Nibiru / Planet X by first locating Saturn as reference. Should be easy. See below:

To friends and family: This is not a drill. This is not a movie. This is the real thing. Now you can believe NASA that comets are mere dirty snowballs, but I side with the electric universe scientists that comets are highly charged bodies that interact that bad with the sun. And this is why we are having these massive earthquakes that will get worse and worse as Elenin comes closer. September, October November 2011, expect more, more, more earthquakes. We’ve had quite a lot of big ones already this year and it’s only April. But there will be more, and it may be in your area. So prepare, that’s all we can do.

Of course I hope NASA is right. Move along, nothing to see here.

Electric Universe guys in the Thunderbolts.info are discussing Comet Elenin right now without the brown dwarf hypothesis. David Talbott has chimed in and we are waiting for Wallace Thornhill. This is all so exciting.

Given the apparent long and eccentric orbit of Comet Elenin, it should go without saying that the electric comet hypothesis would consider an impressive cometary display to be most likely–with a real possibility that Elenin will be the first “Great Comet” of the 21st century. By no means am I speaking for Wal Thornhill on this, just expressing an obvious implication of the well publicized electric view.

Fairewinds Associates Gunderson says what is happening in the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant has redefined the worst case scenarios for nuclear power plants.

Update on Fukushima: Discussion of High Level Radiation Releases and the Previous “Worse Case Senario” Planned for by The Indust from Fairewinds Associates on Vimeo.

Gundersen describes the Fukushima plant as stable, but precarious. In this update, he discusses the high levels of radiation (2 Million disintegrations/second being found on the ground as far as 25 miles from the plant site.) He also addresses a New York Times report of hundreds of tons of water being put into the reactors each day. Gundersen points out that all of the water going in to the reactors is being irradiated, leaking out, and polluting the Ocean. He concludes by discussing the differences between the accident scenarios that the nuclear industry previously planned for and what has actually happened.

Newly released TEPCO data provides evidence of periodic chain reaction at Fukushima Unit 1 from Fairewinds Associates on Vimeo.

Recent press reports have discussed the possibility that Fukushima Unit 1 may be having a nuclear chain reaction. New data released by TEPCO indicates that even though Fukushima Unit 1 was shut down during the March 11 earthquake, it appears to have “gone critical” again without human intervention. The detection by TEPCO of short-lived radioactive isotopes substantiates the existence of this inadvertent criticality.
