New York wants to ban geiger counters.

New York wants to ban geiger counters.

I'm not making this up:
http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/01/08/a-license-to-check-for-wmds/

is reporting that New York City wants to require "licenses" for any detector for nuclear, biological, or chemical detectors. We know how "permitting" devices works in Chicago--they never banned handguns in the city, they simply stopped issuing permits for them.

What exactly is so bad for someone to possess a detector? The claim is that the Police Department wants to prevent mass panic. In reality, they want to control information. They want to prevent citizens from making their own judgement and force them to rely on "authorities". Why not make a law to make it a crime to create a false panic? There's probably one already on the books, so we don't even need any more laws to deal with it. How many false panics have we had? What? None?

This as more than an attempt to prevent false panic from misinformed geiger counter owners. I see it as the city declaring that individuals are not allowed to think or do on their own, that they must be informed only by the authorities, that the police always know what's best. That's a bunch of bull.

The bill is so broadly and poorly written as to make illegal chlorine pool testers, geiger counters, and even your own nose. What if I make a radiation detector out of a fluorescent light bulb or LED? Are you going to require permits for those too?

How about banning throats in NYC? After all, one can scream "Fire!" when there is none.

Even if the bill were well written it's still stupid. I thought that a long long time ago it used to be that councilmen, congressmen or the like only went to, or were only supposed to, go to take care of actually important business. It seems nowadays all we have are people whose full-time job is to constantly crank out more stupid and unnecessary laws.

Aside from that, can we really expect much from NYC?

I`m in this city of triumphant sodomy and I don`t know anyone who owns a geiger here. The most popular electrical appliance here is a vibrating buttplug.

This was a 2008 story so did they actually do it?

It doesn't look like they did:


Despite U.S. consumers' growing awareness of iodide pills, Geiger counters and emergency kits in the wake of Japan's nuclear scare, most people here have little to worry about, experts say.

Radiation, they say, is all around us, even inside of us, and it's perfectly safe for the most part.

To illustrate the point, ABC News took a Geiger counter around New York City to test different objects and locations. Even in the middle of Central Park, there is always a background level of radiation.

LOL! You do have a knack for writing!

...makes sense...they dont want people taking readings around the world trade center ...now do we??

Just an aside here, pointing out a sign of a psychopath or sociopathic system.


the Police Department’s deputy commissioner for counterterrorism, told the Council’s Public Safety Committee at a hearing today, “Our mutual goal is to prevent false alarms and unnecessary public concern by making sure that we know where these detectors are located and that they conform to standards of quality and reliability.”

He is less concerned about accuracy (scientific truth), but is concerned about quality and reliability, nebulous concepts manipulated by protection rackets.

And via a list of those who can measure being used for 'recalibration campains' before false flag games even the truth can be controlled in Bloomberg's state.

What about a radar detector used in your car .I use to tell people not to stand in front of their microwave oven watchin through the window while it cooks because of the radiation leaking out.
They told me I was silly till I brought the detector out of my car close to their oven while it was on and it went crazy , turned oven off it stopped .
Could one of those be adapted to run 24/7 to detect radiation near your home .etc by hard wiring one outside under a roof with a buzzer or similar wired to the alert on it inside ?
What level of radiant radiation would it take to set one off ?
just a thought of a project for someone with more knowledge on the theory .

This reads as so devious it almost seems insane. The part about not testing at all for radiation is more obvious. Less so the 'good news' about officials in Japan plugging the major leak to the sea which was their purposeful planed release of containment tank water. ::)

http://www.adn.com/2011/04/16/1813982/fda-claims-no-need-to-test-pacific.html

The state's food safety program manager, Ron Klein of the Department of Environmental Conservation, said the FDA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have demonstrated that Alaskans have no cause for worry.

"Based on the work they're doing, no sampling or monitoring of our fish is necessary," he said.

It's now a little more than a month into the nuclear crisis, and Japanese officials believe they have plugged the major leak that allowed tons of water containing highly radioactive isotopes of iodine and cesium to flow into the sea. Radiation levels went down after the alarming reports last week that they had risen to millions of times the legal limits, though on Saturday officials said the levels were rising again.

One might get close to ground zero.
