Obama to Americans: Do NOT Prepare for Radioactive Fallout, Just Listen to Your Government - Polidicks

[quote](NaturalNews) In a truly incredible example of the complete disregard for the health and safety of the American people, President Obama today told Americans that they should NOT prepare for radiation from the possible meltdown of the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan. His exact quote: "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and public health experts do not recommend people in the U.S. take precautionary measures beyond staying informed." In other words, Americans should do nothing other than listen to their government. Don't buy potassium iodide pills (even though the U.S. Surgeon General has already urged people to do so), don't fuel up your automobiles in case you need to evacuate California, don't store some extra food and water... basically, don't worry! There's no problem! Obama says so! In all my years of looking at the bizarre and sometimes idiotic rants of the "do not prepare" crowd (the Pollyannas of the world), I never imagined hearing the President of the United States telling people to do nothing while the nation stands on the verge of being hit with radioactive fallout from an increasingly likely nuclear meltdown event. This isn't just a lack of leadership, in my opinion: It's a cowardly act and a betrayal of the health and safety of the American people. While Obama focuses on March Madness basketball, Fukushima burns, threatening to release a massive amount of radiation directly into the atmosphere. The United States has already confirmed that low levels of radiation will reach California by Friday ([url]http://www.naturalnews.com/031733_r[/url]...). The coolant fuels have run dry in at least one reactor ([url]http://www.naturalnews.com/031734_n[/url]...), meaning that the release of enormous amounts of radiation from spent fuel rods is now imminent. Last-ditch rescue efforts are underway, and while we can hope and pray that they are effective, it seems absolutely bewildering that at this moment, Obama would be telling Americans to effectively "do nothing." Smart people will prepare anyway Earlier today, I published a list of urgent action items for Americans and Canadians living on the western edge of North America ([url]http://www.naturalnews.com/031731_r[/url]...). The same advice applies to those living in Hawaii, too: Get prepared now, just in case the Fukushima plant releases a massive amount of radiation into the air! President Obama believes your action list should contain exactly one item: 1) Listen to your government and nothing else. To me, that sounds like a recipe for suicide. But I suppose it's up to each person to decide whom they want to believe. If the meltdown happens and the radiation cloud heads into California, many of those who listened to Obama could die of cancer from radiation exposure. What an incredible legacy for a President to leave in the history books. Get a kit. Make a plan. No, wait... don't do any of that! Whatever happened to the government's own message to be prepared? Even the [url]www.Ready.gov[/url] website run by the federal government says, "Get a kit. Make a plan. Be informed." Obama apparently thinks that's two steps too many. Skip the kit. Screw the plan. Just listen to your government! Incredible. I have never seen such a dangerous example of the complete and utter failure of leadership in America. Should a meltdown actually occur, I can only say good luck to all those Americans who follow this man to their own graves. Oh, and by the way, it's no surprise to hear the CDC is also fully supportive of this "do nothing" preparedness plan. This is the same agency that still refuses to tell people to take vitamin D supplements to prevent outbreaks of infectious disease. It is truly breathtaking to witness the outright betrayal of the American people taking place in Washington right now.[/quote] Source: [url]http://www.naturalnews.com/031735_Obama_radioactive_fallout.html[/url]

Government [h2]LIES[/h2]

yeah man the governments trying to kill off the west coast i heard it on art bell

[quote]While Obama focuses on March Madness basketball, Fukushima burns, threatening to release a massive amount of radiation directly into the atmosphere.[/quote] Yeah right. Article has officially lost all credibility.

I'm pretty sure the government wouldn't lie when it comes to radioactive/nature safety.

I think he means americans shouldn't be panicing, and I also think the author of that article is sensationalizing the crap out of it.

this seems just a tad bit biased

What a terribly biased and shitty article

I see the logic in his actions and also shun the news source for being such a douche. Edit: This will also totally fuck up my chance to get a proper geiger counter for another six months.

He's just saying don't panic and make bank runs/stockpile on supplies. It's perfectly understandable and quite reasonable.

In fact he never said don't do any of those, he just said they aren't recommending people do them. It's basically a, "look this isn't necessary at this point, so do so at your discretion," and not a, "don't prepare yourselves for anything." Sensationalist bullshit.

[QUOTE=Amplified;28662501]Source: [url]http://www.naturalnews.com[/url][/QUOTE] You should've put that at the top so I wouldn't have had to read the article

This article is filled with logical information and perfectly sensible arguments. :downs:

OP, did you huff paint before selecting this article?

That 2012 movie told me that when the government tells me not to worry that's when I have to worry most!

Went to the website. Luld.

This guy should win a Pulitzer for the incredible reporting done

OH GOD it's Y2K-2

Well even after you all saying that the source is bad I still would want to get some sort of kit [i]just in case[/i]

what is this bullshit about surviving if the entire world falls into nuclear chaos then why the fuck even bother living, continuing to waste the planet even though humans were responsible for it cockheads, if the fucking planet falls apart and tries to kill you fuckin let it

I'm surprised the author was intelligent enough to spell....

But I want to play IRL vidya :saddowns:

I gave up at this bit [quote]In a truly incredible example of the complete disregard for the health and safety of the American people, President Obama today told Americans ...[/quote] Do you Americans really have THAT little faith in your leaders? I hope this is just a loud minority.

This shitty opinion piece has no place in the news forum.
