It is insidious because it cannot be detected by human senses. People are not biologically equipped to feel its power, or see, or hear, touch or smell it (Caldicott). Not only that, it slowly accumulates over time in a dastardly fashion that serves to hide its effects until it is too late.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><b>Chernobyl\u2019s Destruction Mirrors Fukushima\u2019s Future<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">As an example of how media fails to deal with disaster blowback, here are some Chernobyl facts that have not received enough widespread news coverage:\u00a0Over one million (1,000,000) people have already died from Chernobyl\u2019s fallout.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Additionally, the Rechitsa Orphanage in Belarus has been caring for a very large population of deathly sick and deformed children.\u00a0Children are 10 to 20 times more sensitive to radiation than adults.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What\u2019s Really Going on at Fukushima?
