humble3d Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 US Government Orders 14 Million Doses of Potassium IodideHuge purchase linked to ongoing Fukushima crisis?Paul Joseph WatsonInfowars.comJanuary 1, 2014UPDATE: Plumes of mysterious steam rise from crippled nuclear reactor at Fukushima_http://www.infowars.com/plumes-of-mysterious-steam-rise-from-crippled-nuclear-reactor-at-fukushima/The Department of Health and Human Services has ordered 14 million doses of potassium iodide, the compound that protects the body from radioactive poisoning in the aftermath of severe nuclear accidents, to be delivered before the beginning of February.According to a solicitation posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website, the DHHS asks contractors to supply, “potassium iodide tablet, 65mg, unit dose package of 20s; 700,000 packages (of 20s),” a total of 14 million tablets. The packages must be delivered on or before February 1, 2014._https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=5cd0c1800435272c80ad292aeb9d1ba7&tab=core&tabmode=list&Potassium iodide helps block radioactive iodine from being absorbed by the thyroid gland and is used by victims of severe nuclear accidents or emergencies. Under current regulations, states with populations living within 10 miles of a nuclear plant are encouraged, but not required, to maintain a supply of potassium iodide.A search of the FedBizOpps website returns no other results regarding the purchase of potassium iodide from any government agency, suggesting that the DHHS bulk buy of the tablets is unprecedented in recent times.The ongoing crisis at the Fukushima nuclear power plant has prompted concerns that the purchase is connected to the threat posed by radioactive debris washing up on the shores of the west coast or the potential for another natural disaster occurring in Japan which could impact the U.S.“Governments usually respond to disasters very similarly; first move is to avoid panic,” writes The West Wire. “The Japanese didn’t want to panic the world, or tarnish their honor and now, as a consequence of their reluctance, Japanese citizens and international aid personal find themselves in a horrible state of being.”“Panic is usually avoided by keeping their citizens as blind to the truth as possible, until confrontation with the truth becomes inevitable. The crucial question at this juncture; “would our government be reluctant about warning us of potential disaster, in an attempt to avoid panic?” 14 million doses of Potassium Iodide say that might just be the case.”Last month it was revealed that 71 U.S. sailors who helped during the initial Fukushima relief efforts are suing the Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) after they returned with thyroid cancer, Leukemia, and brain tumors as a result of being exposed to radiation at 300 times the safe level.TEPCO has repeatedly been caught lying in their efforts to downplay the scale of the disaster. In September it was confirmed that radiation readings around the power plant were 18 times higher than previously reported by TEPCO. After a tank leaked 300 tonnes of toxic water in August, groundwater radiation readings at the plant soared to 400,000 becquerels per litre, the highest reading since the nuclear accident occurred in March 2011.Top scientists have warned that if another major earthquake hits Fukushima, which is almost inevitable, it would mean “bye bye Japan” and the complete evacuation of the west coast of North America.Now that radioactive debris is hitting the West Coast of North America, numerous different animals and sea life are suffering from mysterious diseases, including 20 bald eagles that have died in Utah over the last few weeks alone.Watch the video below in which Alex Jones highlights how the Fukushima nuclear crisis will impact Americans._http://www.infowars.com/us-government-orders-14-million-doses-of-potassium-iodide/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambrocious Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) scary stuffYou forgot to yell at the poster and be rude and call him a liar and a conspiracy theorist dMog, the article is from infowars. This just proves that you don't read the articles, you just see if the poster is me or not me.On a different note, the real problem here is that the government is preparing for some massive nuclear problem but they are not really telling the public very much about what WE need to be doing to stay safe from radiation. For example, the potassium iodine fills up the thyroid with healthy iodine during a nuclear event which would normally cause your thyroid to fill up with unhealthy radiated iodine which will kill you fast. The governments suggest but they aren't actually telling people that they should take it if they are in highly radiactive ares. This is why it is important for ANYONE to know about the areas that are affected so we can be ready.Other products that help out during a nuclear disaster:Survival Shield - Nascent IodineTHYROSAFE (KI)ModifilanIf you live in the USA and you need to know if your area has any radiological issues (nuclear) or dangers, this is a good website to see if you are in the clear: http://www.netc.com/Related To The Story: Edited January 9, 2014 by Ambrocious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrbingStorm Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 How well does this potassium iodide work?Will it stop you dying or is it just to allievate symptons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tezza Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) They have not ordered anything. Usual disinfowars BS story posted as world news so AJ can sell his own iodide on his site. :lol:Look at the form !!!It is a RFQ or Request for Quote. The US wants to know how much this stuff would cost. It's called contingency planning.700,000 packages (of 20s), 20 being for a single person, not sounding as dramatic as 14 m doses.It's the pharmacy for the federal government and the U.S. armed forces. So it's hardly surprising that they would buy in bulk, as these orders can be refreshed every 5 years in some cases.

nIGHT Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Not me, when I saw it in the title having Potassium Iodide I knew it is from inforwars and some panic-promoting-get-alex-jones-rich-scheme again. ;)No offense meant here to the poster or to my friend ambro. Even if this news is true, it should not be posted because it promotes mass panic and mass-hysteria. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
