INTRODUCTION
Rima E. Laibow, MD
.
This White Paper exposes the rapidly escalating predictable and fully preventable calamity threatening not only Los Angeles but, Like Fukushima, the entire planet. Maj. Gen. Albert N. Stubblebine III (US Army, Ret.), President of the Natural Solutions Foundation, provides his intelligence analysis. Rima E. Laibow, MD, Natural Solutions Foundation’s Medical Director, starts by defining the similarities between health complaints reported by gas leak victims in Los Angeles and victims of radiation sickness.
.
Radiation Sickness Symptoms: LA Residents’ Symptoms
Nausea Nausea
Spontaneous bleeding Spontaneous bleeding
Vomiting Vomiting
Diarrhea Diarrhea
Severe fatigue Severe Fatigue
.
Radiation sickness is experienced differently based on the amount and duration of radiation experienced by the victim. There is no safe dose of radiation but sometimes the impact of ionizing radiation, also known as “nuclear radiation” can take years to show up.
.
The long term effects, including heart disease, cancer, infertility, Diabetes Type I, dementia and more, are not under consideration here because the Aliso Canyon leak has only been known since October, 2015.
.
But the residents of the area are experiencing severe effects which the government health agents and impacted corporations are content to put down to small amounts of methane, butane, toluene and other hydrocarbon gases.
.
I contend that they are, once again, unsurprisingly, “Going TEPCO”, that is, denying, delaying, deceiving to avoid both blame for this disaster, costs for its consequences and limitation on future actions based on public outrage.
.
Acute radiation sickness (or “radiation poisoning”) presents rapidly. Smaller doses result in gastrointestinal effects including nausea and vomiting as well as symptoms related to falling blood counts such as bleeding and predisposition.
.
To my knowledge, no public health organization has either recommended or carried out blood tests to see if clotting and blood cell counts are impacted although nose and other bleeds are common in Los Angeles gas leak victims as are nausea and vomiting.
.
Relatively larger doses can result in neurological effects and rapid death.
.
At least one case of wrongful death is not in court by the family of an alleged victim of the gas leak. Are there more deaths caused by the leak? Are any of them acute radiation poisoning-related?
.
Treatment of acute radiation syndrome is generally supportive with blood transfusions and antibiotics, with some more aggressive treatments, such as bone marrow transfusions, being required in extreme cases. Without that support, however, these victims will certainly not fare well. Furthermore, EDTA or DMPS chelation is required to removed toxic radioactive metals like uranium, polonium, plutonium, etc. These materials will lodge in the lungs of radiation-breathing victims and WILL cause cancer and heart disease later.
.
Are they being examined for these toxins?
.
Without identification of the possibility that they may be injured now or later by the known radiation contaminants in the gas that they have breathed or continue to breath, there will be no investigation, no diagnosis and therefore, no treatment.
.
For general information purposes, the following infographic shows radiation doses as they impact health and longevity:

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE DISASTER
Maj. Gen. Albert N. Stubblebine III
.
As a trained engineer and as an intelligence officer, I always seek to understand the science behind any matter I must consider. In short, an invisible plume of natural gas presents a massive survival threat not only because of exposure to gases like methane, benzene and toluene but because of life-threatening contamination with uranium, radon and other radioactive elements. Radioactive exposure to Los Angeles and surrounding areas appears to approach a Chernobyl/Fukushima level event. We need to look at the official story and then at unfolding media reports about the horrific, man-made natural gas disaster threatening one of the world’s major metropolitan region.
.
Like the continuing radiation releases at Fukushima and Chernobyl, this disaster’s consequences are local, regional and global.
.
Unsurprisingly, the SoCalGas’ official story acknowledges the leak but totally and dishonestly minimizes any health risk:
.
“On October 23, SoCalGas crews discovered a leak at one of the natural gas storage wells at its Aliso Canyon storage field. In response, we activated the appropriate procedures to begin to address the leak. We regret that the smell of the odorant in natural gas is unpleasant and that some people are sensitive to the odor, and we sincerely apologize for the annoyance and concern this odor is causing the neighboring communities. However, the leak does (sic) not pose an imminent threat to public safety. ” [1]
.
“The Aliso Canyon Oil Field (also Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Field, Aliso Canyon Underground Storage Facility) is an oil field and natural gas storage facility in the Santa Susana Mountains in Los Angeles County, California, north of the Porter Ranch neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles. Discovered in 1938 and quickly developed afterward, the field peaked as an oil producer in the 1950s, but has remained active since its discovery. One of its depleted oil and gas producing formations, the Sesnon-Frew zone, was converted into a gas storage reservoir in 1973 by the Southern California Gas Company, the gas utility servicing the southern half of California. This reservoir is the second-largest natural gas storage site in the western United States, with a capacity of over 86 billion cubic feet of natural gas. ” [2][Emphasis added ]
.
.
Note that pumping billions of cubic feet of natural gas under pressure into the crust of the earth means that it will, inevitably, become contaminated with the radioactive gas radon as well as any vaporizing, emitting or subliming materials in the surrounding deep rocks and rivers. This risk is obvious to any engineer.
.
The composition of the rock is known, as is the concentration of radon gas. Uranium, radium (and radon gas, a decay product of radium) as well as other radioactive elements are known components of the substructure and deep layers of the area.

THE MAGNITUDE OF THE RISK
.
Any rupture, leak or other release would, inevitably, release radioactive gas into the lungs of those nearby – and distant.
.
Just how radioactive? Very Radioactive How about 8.14 million lethal doses SO FAR?
.
SuperStation95 reports this from the globally respected International Association for Protection from Ionizing Rays (AIPRI)[3]:
.
“If the leak, as it is now admitted, is actually 3 times greater i.e. 5.1 million m3 of effluent per day (3346 tons per day), with the same content per meter cube of radon 222 the natural radionuclides contained in the underground gas would skyrocket to 30.75 MBq (3.53 mCi) per second, of 470.69 GBq (12,72 Ci) per hour, 11.30 TBq (305.31 Ci) per day for an excursion in 90 days 1.02 PBq (27,48 KCi) a dispersion of 40.7 million Sieverts representing 8.14 million lethal doses by inhalation.” [Emphasis added]
.
Yet the second largest storage area for natural gas in the Western United States was approved, built and filled with billions of cubic feet of natural gas under the very feet, or perhaps the very graves, of residents of the City of Los Angeles.
.
On January 4, 2016: Various world-wide media reported the situation this way: “Unprecedented catastrophe underway near Los Angeles; Largest gas leak ever recorded — “Equivalent to strength of a volcanic eruption” — “Thousands suffer nose bleeds, vomiting” — “Potentially devastating on planetary scale” — Expert: “It’s so far above and beyond what I’ve ever seen”[4] [Emphasis added]
.
January 6, 2016: Governor Jerry Brown issues Declaration of Emergency: [5]
.
February 3, 2016: “A leaking natural gas well is spewing lethal levels of naturally-occurring Uranium, Radon and other radioactive materials into the air around Los Angeles. Parts of the city may be “uninhabitable” for years! … Now, it has been revealed that naturally-occurring radiation from ground Uranium, has also been spewing out of that leaking well and so much has come out, that the situation constitutes a “Massive Radiation Emergency…..” [6] [Emphasis added]
.
I have warned repeatedly of the risks of radiation exposure in America and around the world.[7] The Natural Solutions Foundation has been at the forefront of support for His Excellency Ambassador M. Murata (the “Conscience of Fukushima”) and the efforts of NGOs to address the continuing dangers emanating from Fukushima and beyond.
.
Our Medical Director, Dr. Rima, has warned about this danger as well, offering information[8],[9]as well as protective strategies[10] against this type of radiation, called “nuclear” or “ionizing” radiation). The best protection, however, is to protect against exposure! Residents of Los Angeles, a word to the wise should be sufficient.
.
In my professional estimate, unless SoCal gets this radioactive volcano under control immediately, the combined radioactive assault from Fukushima, Aliso Canyon and other leaks in the region will constitute a grave threat to the security of the regional population.
.
Clearly, Fukushima and Aliso Canyon, like so many other wildly dangerous projects, constituting risks without engineering solutions, should never have been permitted regardless of the financial interests of their proponents. The only reason they were allowed was to serve those interests since they do not serve the interests or health of their victims, despite the endless propaganda to the contrary.

NATURAL SOLUTIONS

Natural Solutions Foundation, www.DrRImaTruthReports.com, has focused directly on Genomicide for over a decade. Nuclear Power, an uninsurable risk[11], is one of the “Genomicidal[12] Technologies” weaponizing the planet against human survival, triggering what our Medical Director Rima Laibow, MD calls “Genetic Disruption Syndrome.”[13]
.
The horrifying and deadly “radiation volcano” unleashed in earthquake-prone Los Angeles by the gas leak repeats a terrifying pattern: once again, a totally irresponsible, cataclysmically dangerous public power plan has gone wrong while government and industry close ranks to deny the reality and deceive the victims and rate-payers. Inevitably, the benefit for such stonewalling is lack of responsibility and financial freedom from compensation. The larger benefit? The ability to do it all over again next time because an unaware public is not outraged enough to stop it.
.
Precisely like the incompetent nuclear engineers who designed the Fukushima reactor control rooms too low to survive the inevitable tsunami, the Aliso Canyon facility, in earthquake-prone Los Angeles, was a disaster waiting to happen.
.
In 2011 we created ICSAFER, the International Commission to Study and Finalize Environmental Remediation[14] knowing that conventional nuclear physics and engineering are not able to remediate radiation rapidly enough to solve the problem on a human timescale. We have called for an international response to the horror from Fukushima. Now we must add AlisoCanyon to that list. And which aging and dangerous nuclear or other dangerous facility will be next?
.
It is par for the course that the corporate “Mainstream Media” is being more than reticent about a catastrophe that threatens the very survival of a large and very important part of the Southern California, one of the largest economies on the planet. Are they frightened and confused or completely controlled and complicit? Either way, their silence should be a real warning to us all.
.
Dr. Rima has recommended natural approaches to radiation risks here: http://tinyurl.com/radprotection — and now it is time to pay attention to the risks posed by radiation from multiple sources.
.
For health and freedom,
