Radation Over U.S. Is Harmless, Officials Say

Harmless traces of radiation from the stricken nuclear complex inJapan have been detected wafting over the East Coast of the United States, European officials said Monday. . . .

Health experts said that the plume’s radiation had been diluted enormously in its journey of thousands of miles and that — at least for now, with concentrations so low — its presence will have no health consequences in the United States. . . . 

The organization’s (U.N. Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization) mandate is to monitor the global ban on the testing of nuclear arms, and it has more than 60 stations that sniff the air for radiation spikes.

The group has declined to make the recent findings public. . . .

And then, there's this.  

O.K.  I’ve lost my mind.  But there is nothing I dislike more than “Officials” except “Leaders.”  If you trust officials and follow leaders, you are likely not reading this blog anyway unless you are a monitor. 

They’ve also told us that radiation has been found in the seas surrounding Japan, but this is of no concern, either.  

But I need to quit this.  I am not a conspiracy theorist and don’t believe the government is hiding alien corpses from us at Wright’s Air Force Base.  I don’t believe in anything.  Certainly not Officials.  And never Leaders.
