Who'd a thunk it?
And at this late date in party rebranding!
And such a small chunk of change for this wealthy lot.
Perhaps it's just the finger-in-the-eye of the tax-paying hobos (citizens) that delights these cheap chumps.
North Carolina is now observing Moral Mondays necessitated by the actions of his southern cousins.
Virginia Gov. Did Not Disclose $120,000 in Donations from Company He Promoted: Report
By Arturo Garcia
Wednesday, July 10, 2013
Virginia Gov. Robert McDonnell (R) and his family received another unreported $120,000 from the head of a dietary supplement company he promoted, the Washington Post reported Tuesday.
“The rules that I’m following have been rules that have been in place for decades,” McDonnell told a radio interviewer on Tuesday. “These have been the disclosure rules of Virginia. I’m following those. To, after the fact, impose some new requirements on an official when you haven’t kept record of other gifts given to family members or things like that obviously wouldn’t be fair.”
McDonnell and his family are already being investigated for allegedly accepting a $6,500 watch and $15,000 in catering costs for his daughter’s wedding from Star Scientific CEO Johnnie R. Williams, Sr. in exchange for his help urging state health officials to approve the company’s anti-inflammatory supplement as an option for Medicare recipients, despite not being federally approved. McDonnell has argued that the payment toward the catering expenses was a gift for his daughter from Williams, who(m) he considers a “family friend.”
The Post reported that $70,000 was transferred in 2012 from a trust owned by Williams to MoBo Real Estate Partners, a limited-liability corporation formed by the governor and his sister, split into a $50,000 check that March and another $20,000 payment later that year. In May 2011, Williams also allegedly gave McDonnell’s wife an undisclosed check for $50,000.
Gifts to family members are exempt from a state law requiring politicans from disclosing gifts valued at more than $50. But McDonnell reported on state disclosure forms in 2011 and 2012 that a family member owed between $10,001 and $50,000 to an undisclosed creditor described as working in “medical services” and “health care.”
The Post’s report was released on the heels of McDonnell’s son, Sean, being arrested for his own safety and charged with public intoxication on July 6. He is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 12.
Such a nice Republican family. Hardly the worst.

Just not that many right now.
"Radiation from the Fukushima Nuclear Plant disaster in Japan is now actively in the ecosystem all along the North American west coast… even the sea weed is now radiated. The Vancouver Sun reported one year ago that the seaweed tested from waters off the coast of British Columbia were 4 times the amount considered safe. No further test results were released after the initial report.
The governments of the United States and Canada are not conducting tests for radioactivity – at least not to the knowledge of the public. The government has agreed to continue purchasing seafood from Japan, despite the fact that the food is not being tested for radioactive contamination. Last November, independent testing in Japan showed 65 per cent of the catches tested positive for cesium (a radioactive material). Instead of refusing to purchase the poisoned fish, food safety agencies in both the United States and Canada have simply raised the “acceptable level of radiation.” We can’t go offending the Japanese after promising to buy their tainted goods, now can we?
After the North American governments refused to fund testing, oceanographer Ken Buesseler, a senior scientist at the non-profit Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, Mass, along with Nicholas Fisher, a marine sciences professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and other concerned scientists, managed to secure private funding for a Pacific research voyage. The results? Cesium levels in the Pacific had initially gone up an astonishing 45 million times above pre-accident levels. The levels then declined rapidly for a while, but after that, they unexpectedly leveled off. In July, cesium levels stopped declining and remained stuck at 10,000 times above pre-accident levels. This means the ocean isn't diluting the radiation as expected. If it had been, cesium levels would have kept falling. The finding suggests that radiation is still being released into the ocean long after the accident in March, 2011.
Less than two weeks after the tsunami and subsequent nuclear disaster, Michael Kane, an investigative journalist, reported, “In the wake of the continuing nuclear tragedy in Japan, the United States government is still moving quickly to increase the amounts of radiation the population can “safely” absorb by raising the safe zone for exposure to levels designed to protect the government and nuclear industry more than human life.”
The radiation has absolutely reached the shores of North America. Water samples from across the continent have tested positive for unsafe levels of radioactivity. The levels exceeded federal drinking water thresholds, known as maximum contaminant levels, or MCL, by as much as 181 times.” This means that the complete ecosystem of the Pacific Ocean is now poisoned with radiation and we aren't being warned.
If you live on the west coast of Canada or the United States, you’re already being exposed to radiation at this point, thanks to the Japanese earthquake and tsunami of 2011. Radiation levels are already increasing in the food and water, babies born with thyroid issues linked to radiation are rising quickly and governments in Canada and the United States are raising the “acceptable levels” of certain toxic substances in the food being shipped in from Japan.
This isn’t a conspiracy theory, this is happening and it’s happening right now.
The picture at the top of the article is not showing you the flow of happy fun time thoughts from Japan back in March of 2012. It’s showing you the flow of radiation from the Fukushima nuclear plant after the devastating earthquake and tsunami of 2011. Yes, that image shows the radiation reaching almost past Hawaii more than a year ago. Do the math – If that radiation screamed across the Pacific Ocean that far in one year, just how far do you think it has gotten since then?
Samples of milk taken across the United States have shown radiation at levels 2000 percent higher than EPA maximums. The reason that milk is so significant is that it is representative of the entire food supply. According to an article published on Natural News, “Cows consume grass and are exposed to the same elements as food crops and water supplies. In other words, when cows’ milk starts testing positive for high levels of radioactive elements, this is indicative of radioactive contamination of the entire food supply.”
The Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Deception Protection Agency, instead of refusing to prohibit the sale of tainted foods and mandatory testing of foods produced and harvested from the Pacific Coast, have simply raised the “acceptable levels” of radioactive material in foods.
Clearly, the “it’s-all-for-your-own-good” government will not protect us, or even inform us of the dangers so we can protect ourselves, because it might dip into the pockets of the global elite, the nuclear energy industry, and the food industries. There is big money behind this cover-up. Refusing to purchase and consume their tainted goods is the best way to fight back, while keeping our families safe and healthy.
How can we protect ourselves? First, be aware of what items are likely to be highly tainted. Here’s a list of foods you should now be wary of:
1. Seafood: Question the origin of ALL seafood. Fish and crustaceans from the Pacific Ocean should all be considered to be poisoned with radiation.
2. Water: The rainfall and snowfall are all radiated. Do not drink any water that has not been filtered. The tap water that flows from your faucet has NOT been treated to rid it of radioactive particles. A recent report from the NY Times stated, “A rooftop water monitoring program managed by UC Berkeley’s Department of Nuclear Engineering detected substantial spikes in rain-borne iodine-131 during torrential downpours…"
3. Dairy products: Milk and milk products from the West Coast states currently have the highest levels of radiation in North America.
4. Produce: Leafy vegetables, wines, tomatoes, strawberries… all produce from California or any other West Coast State are also likely to be tainted.
5. Meat: If an animal eats any leafy vegetable all along the West Coast, that animal has consumed radiation, and is poisoned. This is any animal from cows, pigs, goats, sheep to wild deer and other game.
If you eat the above foods from areas with high radiation levels, you are eating radiation and feeding it to your children. Slowly the radiation levels within your body will build up. This is permanent.
Infant mortality rates across the United States have increased by more than 35% since the nuclear disaster, according to a court statement by Dr. Sherman with independent Scientist Leuren Moret, MA, PhD. A study published in The International Journal of Medicine indicates that more than 20,000 deaths right here in North America can be directly attributed to the release of radioactive material from Fukushima.
Radioactive isotopes of the type released from Fukushima have a half-life of 30,000 years. This means that we must permanently change the way we prepare our food.
• Wash your food with soap and rinse it in filtered water.• Be aware of the origins of your vegetables, fish, game and seafood.• Keep abreast of radiation levels to help monitor where your food is acquired.• Use only filtered water for drinking, cooking and ice.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but that one way trip to colonize Mars is looking pretty darn attractive right now…"

As for me, I'm pretty sure you can't wash radiation off. Heck, you can't even wash many pesticides off.
Vote for the people who will not lie and who will protect us!
Or we are cooked!
