Police to arrest Assange ‘under any circumstance’ – leak from UK police

Police note lets slip Julian Assange arrest plan http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/world/police-note-lets-slip-julian-assange-arrest-plan/story-fnd134gw-1226457832696  By CHARLES MIRANDA in London 
August 25, 2012 THE order is simple and the note brief but it points to a likelihood of a complex and lengthy impasse between Ecuador and Britain over the future of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.

“Assange to be arrested under all circumstances,” the confidential Scotland Yard note seen yesterday being carried by an officer outside the Ecuador embassy reads.

And therein lies the problem. He has political asylum in Ecuador but cannot get there with Britain refusing to let him step onto public soil without immediate arrest, detention and extradition to Sweden to face sexual assault allegations.

Scotland Yard acknowledged the handwritten note was from a briefing and stressed that the force’s objective is to arrest Assange for breach of bail.

“Under no circumstances would any arrest be made which was in breach of diplomatic immunity,” Scotland Yard said.

Systematic faking of official radiation data in Japan

http://www.simplyinfo.org/?p=6993 July 31st, 2012 “…

As with so many things going on in relation to the nuclear disaster in Fukushima, people know something isn’t right or outright bogus, yet it takes time to document and prove it. We documented earlier this week about the discrepancies in Miyagi Prefecture in radiation & contamination government figures vs. non government figures for the region including elevated thyroid nodules in children.

In yet another case of this, government radiation monitoring has been being systematically faked to show far lower than actual levels. Academics and an engaged public can and will eventually uncover these lame attempts by the government to deceive the public about the safety risks in Japan due to the nuclear accident.

Stig from Safecast.org has been following this in various Japanese language sources and has documented much of it here in a new article on their website…..”

“…The various monitoring posts around Japan are also not completely correct. Per this MEXT spreadsheet from July 26th you can see that many of the monitoring posts are quite high in the air, likely on building roofs. The one in Miyagi is 80meter off the ground, the government claims they put it on the roof of the govt. building to make maintenance easier…..”
