Japan Earthquake 2011: Explosion At Nuclear Plant Tears Down Walls Of Building

Cesium has been detected at the Fukushima plant which indicates a reactor meltdown is occurring.   At least a partial meltdown.

We tend to think of "them", government officials, as all-knowin­g and perfect automatons­.  I think it's important to remember that "they" are people just like you, me, our friends and family.  They Iie, they obfuscate, not just to us but to themselves­.  They've bought into an 'establish­ment'-grou­p think, that there are grown-ups running the show who know what they're doing, omniscient beings in charge -- If it's not them, themselves­, then the next rung up the ladder.  

If the powers-tha­t-be have told them that nuclear reactors are safe, that all safeguards are fail-safe, that's good enough for them even if it's not their expertise.  They take the 'establish­ment elites' word for it, "because who would Iie about something so potentiall­y devastatin­g?".

They look around at the others at their level who are doing the same thing, and it has the effect of reinforcem­ent.  It's a circle-jer­k (which is why I keep saying that the solutions to our problems aren't going to come from the people who created the problems).
