The media keeps repeating the talking point that "Russia and Ukraine trade accusations" about who is shelling the plant, without ever looking into who actually IS shelling it and ignoring the fact that it makes zero sense for the Russians to shell their own positions, or cause a nuclear disaster at a plant they control, in territory they control, with large numbers of Russian troops in the area who would then be irradiated.

It's the perfect example of how the media blatantly lies and muddies the waters because they think we're all idiots. Am I missing something here? Is there any conceivable reason why the Russians would shell this plant?

This is why the media are absolute scum. We're talking about a nuclear disaster and these fucktards wont accurately report on the situation, choosing stupid neocon talking points and misinformation that make no sense, even though the stakes are rendering huge swaths of Europe and Ukraine permanently uninhabitable.

Russia gtfo of Ukraine and there will be no nuclear risk.

Yeah that's what is known as nuclear blackmail. Leave Ukraine to the Neocons or else we go full scorched earth and destroy Ukraine permanently through a nuclear disaster. Thanks for proving my point.

Russians can simply go away. That's the best solution.

That's for the Ukrainian people to decide.

Or we should bomb the morons shelling the plant. That sounds like an actual solution.

I don't think many people with a clue actually believe Russians keep shelling themselves, while they control the nuclear plant....there are just a lot of people with not a single clue and a lot of dirty lying media outlets. I wonder if some of these news outlets are forced or blackmailed by the US government to push out these falsehoods daily.

Hopefully, they're also including selenium supplements.

Iodine can deplete your body of selenium, and it loses it's efficaciousness.

If you want iodine supplements, then order 2% Lugol's iodide solution (2% iodine, and 4% iodide solution IIRC), and the complimenting selenium drops.

That's what doctors used, when they actually practiced medicine.

Lugol's iodide useful for numerous applications.

I am using DSMO and iodine on a wart, and when I apply it, I feel smarter. It's a weird and very fast acting effect. Beats any nootropics I ever tried.

Didn't know about the selenium, thanks for the info.

I have read that peppermint oil and DMSO works great for warts. I'm not familiar with the use with iodine.

Also, are you using Lugol's iodide?

Iodide. The 2% solution is the best.

You can check for iodine deficiency by putting it on your skin (without the DMSO solvent), and recording how long it takes to absorb/disappeared.
Rapid absorbtion is a sign of deficiency.

DMSO is a miraculous solvent. It assists your body heal itself. It's been around for over 100 years, and is quite safe.

The main risk is it will help toxins absorb as a solvent.
Wash and decontaminate the location that it will be used, before your apply it, so you don't introduce toxins, etc.

DMSO Is useful to heal abscessed teeth, and more. Most haven't heard of it, because pharma can't patent it.

Heals pets injuries, as well.

Yes.

Oh I know, I am using all glass since it'll even leach nasty shit out of plastic too

If you have thyroid issues, you probably can't take iodine supplements safely, even with the selenium. I suspect people may damage their thyroid taking iodine in a panic.

Gouging yourself with iodine is not the safest thing and only for an emergency....to make you feel better before you die a slow and painful death of radiation poisoning, most of which iodine can't help against in the slightest. It is a duck-and-cover nuclear fallout equivalent.

Radioactive iodine is a material that can be ingested and become trapped in the body.

Saturating the body with stable iodine will minimize absorbtion of radioactive iodine.

It is a duck-and-cover nuclear fallout equivalent.

If you want supplemental blast protection, then maybe try Americium.
It's used in smoke detectors, and Capitan America's super serums.
Cause America.

Radioactive iodine is only a small portion of the wide types of radiation you need to defend from, but it is the only one with a simple way to defend from. It's mostly a feel good measure to keep the public from panicking.

Yep.

I seriously doubt radiation is the super Boogeyman that they claim.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki rebuilt with minimal issues.

Fukushima seems to have walked it off.

Are you familiar with Galen Windsor?
