Missing woman 'strung up' on deer rack
Affidavit: Missing woman 'strung up' on deer rack
Jeffrey Maxwell remained jailed in Parker County on Tuesday charged with aggravated kidnapping and aggravated sexual assault. His bond is set at $400,000.
Investigators found the woman at Maxwell's Corsicana home south of Dallas on Saturday. She had gone missing from her home in rural Parker County west of Fort Worth on March 4.
The probable cause affidavit says the 58-year-old Maxwell acknowledged taking the woman at gunpoint and driving her to his home, where he "strung her up" on the rack in his garage.
According to the affidavit, Maxwell says he was paid $2,500 by unnamed individuals to make the woman "go away."
Hawaii tsunami damages tens of millions
Hawaii tsunami damages jump to tens of millions
Hawaii tsunami damages jump to tens of millions
The rough estimate combines damage to homes, businesses, hotels, boats, piers and government infrastructure.
The most serious damages were near Kealakekua Bay and Kailua-Kona on the Big Island. Haleiwa and Keehi Lagoon on Oahu, as well as areas of Maui and Molokai, also lost significant value.
At least 25 boats sank at Keehi Lagoon, and an undetermined number of homes may have been destroyed along the Big Island's west coast beyond the two previously reported, including one that floated out to sea.
No one was killed or injured during the tsunami, which arrived in Hawaii early Friday morning as a result of a magnitude 9.0 earthquake in Japan.
"It's in the millions in terms of property, but it's very small in terms of personal injury and deaths. Of course, we're very, very fortunate," said Gov. Neil Abercrombie.
Additional losses may pile up because thousands of Japanese tourists have already canceled vacations to Hawaii since the tsunami, dealing a crushing blow to the state's tourism-dependent economy.
"The economic consequences will be severe for us," Abercrombie said. "It's going to be terrible. It's going to be rough. It's something we have to come to grips with."
He said he would call the state Council on Revenues back into session to revise last week's forecast, which already put the state government's projected shortfall at nearly $1 billion over the next two years.
Hawaii residents and businesses have sustained enough financial harm that the state should qualify for federal assistance, including low-interest recovery loans through the Small Business Administration and other associations, he said.
It will take months to clear debris from piers and the ocean floor, and much longer to repair damaged shorelines, said Ed Underwood, Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation administrator for the Department of Land and Natural Resources.
At least 200 boats at Keehi Lagoon on Oahu were damaged when their floating docks broke loose, pushing them out to sea and then pulling them back in when waves crashed toward shore. Everyone who lives on their boats appears to have survived, he said.
"We don't have any deaths that we're aware of. We've accounted for all the live aboards. We don't feel like we're going to find anybody in a boat, thank God," Underwood said.
Government property damage on Oahu alone reached $3.3 million Monday, according to the Department of Land and Natural Resources. The department didn't have figures for the neighbor islands.
About 200 fish were found dead at Keehi Lagoon and Ala Wai Small Boat Harbor, possibly because of gas and oil spills, he said.
Divers for the state will survey the ocean floor off the Big Island on Tuesday.
Abercrombie also is visiting areas damaged by the tsunami on Tuesday.

According to our sources this is now a Level 6 event and readings will be fluctuating and rising rapidly.
At this time it is openly admitted that readings are 400 mR/hr at 20 miles out from the source.
It is now openly admitted that radioactivity has reached dangerous levels in the area. There is now a 20 mile diameter perimeter (HIGH-RAD AREA) established around the Fukushima reactor.
Local weather patterns are reported to have now changed course to a southerly direction sweeping nuclear winds toward Tokyo as locals fear radiation poisoning.
Moscow has reported a spike in sales of gieger counters and iodine pills are reportedly hard to get as prices rise.
Residents of Hawaii should stay posted.
The following is an AP excerpt;
Japan races to contain nuclear threat after quake
(AP) – SOMA, Japan – Dangerous levels of radiation leaking from a crippled nuclear plant forced Japan to order 140,000 people to seal themselves indoors Tuesday after an explosion and a fire dramatically escalated the crisis spawned by a deadly tsunami.
In a nationally televised statement, Prime Minister Naoto Kan said radiation had spread from the four stricken reactors of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant along Japan’s northeastern coast. The region was shattered by Friday’s 9.0-magnitude earthquake and the ensuing tsunami that is believed to have killed more than 10,000 people, plunged millions into misery and pummeled the world’s third-largest economy.
This disaster is reaching unprecedented levels on a world scale and escalating rapidly. The Intel Hub urges you to you critical thinking skills when considering what is at hand along with options and what is to come. Be alert.
Iodine protects thyroid from radiation

(NaturalNews) In the aftermath of Japan’s nuclear catastrophe and the fear that winds could blow radiation into the west coast of North America, there has been a sudden rush on potassium iodide, which helps protect your glandular system from radiation poisoning if you’re exposed. The Japanese government is handing out this supplement in huge quantities to the survivors north of Tokyo, and here at NaturalNews, we’ve received a flurry of requests from people wanting to know where they can find available supplies of potassium iodide.
These “radiation pills” are being sold out everywhere. NukePills.com says they were completely sold out over the weekend. Pharmacies in California are receiving a stampede of phone calls from near-panicked residents there, reports Fox News: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/03/1…
I know of two sources where there is still inventory, see below…
Why you need to boost your iodine levels to protect against radiation
The important thing is to get iodine into your body in a safe supplement form. This does not have to be “potassium iodide.” It can also be in the form of Nascent Iodine, which is a high-quality iodine supplement that has been available in the natural product marketplace for several years. (Do NOT drink topical antiseptic iodine products such as Betadine — these products are not suitable for human consumption. They are povidone-iodine mixtures.)
Dr. Brownstein is one of the top experts on iodine. About radiation exposure, he explains: “If there is enough inorganic, non-radioactive iodine in our bodies, the radioactive fallout has nowhere to bind in our bodies. It will pass through us, leaving our bodies unharmed. It is important to ensure that we have adequate iodine levels BEFORE this fallout hits.” (Source link below, from the IMVA website.)
What Dr. Brownstein is explaining is that you must get iodine in your body BEFORE being exposed to radiation. And most people are extremely deficient in iodine on a daily basis (http://www.naturalnews.com/023107_i…).
I’ve interviewed Dr. Brownstein about iodine and have recommended his website as well: http://www.drbrownstein.com
There, he talks about the relationship between iodine deficiency and many chronic degenerative diseases — especially thyroid disorders which are often linked to obesity.
But for right now, people are mostly focused on using iodine to protect their bodies from possible radiation exposure, so keep reading…

U.S. Not Evacuating Citizens from Sendai
Facebook Page
March 15, 2011
My little sister, Hannah Nho, 27, is a teaching aide at Miyagino JHS in Sendai with the Jet Programme. On Friday, she was at home sick when the 8.9 earthquake struck. She was able to get a text message to my sister, Nina, in London before the networks all went down. For the next 36 hours, we were able to trace her whereabouts through Facebook.
It was not until Sunday, that we were able to speak to her. The first night, she was alone at an elementary school where people were packed in 50 people per classroom, and the toilets were not working. Those seeking shelter relieved themselves on the floors. The next day, she rode her bike an hour from her apartment in Sendai to her school where the conditions were drastically better and she was surrounded by familiar faces.
On Sunday, I learned that the French and the German governments asked for non-essentials to leave, and so we started laying the groundwork from my desk in Los Angeles and my sister’s kitchen in London for Hannah to leave as well. I have contacted everyone I know to see if they could get her out of Sendai– my friends in the Army, Navy, State Department, the American Embassy…anyone. The main issue is that the US government has not issued a NEO (non essential evacuation order). The British government issued that on Monday.

Stocks Of Potassium Iodide Exhausted
U.S. Government Blocking Americans From Obtaining Potassium Iodide?

U.S. health authorities could be blocking Americans from obtaining the radiation-fighting drug potassium iodide, even as the threat of a radioactive cloud from the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant affecting the United States prompts panic buying, which has led to stocks of the drug running out across the country.
High strength potassium iodide is a once-a-day-pill than protects the thyroid gland from radiation and cancer caused by radioactive iodine. There are also weaker liquid forms of the drug that provide less protection, but supplies of these are also running low.
A caller to The Alex Jones Show today related how he tried to obtain potassium iodide via prescription from his doctor having failed to buy it over the counter due to stocks being completely exhausted.
“Yesterday afternoon (roughly 1400PST), the Urgent Care in Ventura, California, denied me a prescription for KI (potassium iodide): an over the counter, salt,” writes Michael (surname withheld). “The reason for denying me a prescription was predicated upon the Doctors conversation, with both CDC and DHSC representatives, whom discouraged it. After asking her if she took government orders, she replied, “No, but I do take their recommendations.”
“As KI is unavailable in Ventura right now and I was unable to get a prescription, which the pharmacy required, I am still without a supply of KI,” adds Michael.
The U.S. government has so far refused to stockpile supplies of the drug despite the threat of a nuclear disaster nearing the scale of Chernobyl.
“The federal government has never purchased enough to meet that standard,” reports CNN. “There is currently only enough of the medication available for populations living within 10 miles of nuclear reactors in the United States, according to U.S. officials.”
We are also receiving other unconfirmed reports that certain chemists and health stores that do have small amounts of the drug are refusing to sell it to customers, citing the excuse that it could be used for the production of methamphetamine
As we documented in our earlier article, stocks of the drug are all but exhausted across the United States, with packets of 14 tablets selling for around $300 dollars on eBay. We have received scores of emails and calls from Alex Jones Show listeners who cannot find potassium iodide anywhere.
The massive surge in sales of the drug has been driven by the worsening nuclear crisis in Japan and reports that the radiation cloud now starting to affect Tokyo and other areas could reach the west coast of the United States within a week.
Meanwhile, the panic buying that has gripped online health retailers as well as stores across America has prompted Amazon.com to issue an email to every customer who tries to purchase potassium iodide, noting how the situation in Japan has, “rightfully unnerved the masses,” in America.
“We have been inundated with thousands of orders for Potassium Iodide, from all corners of the world. The warehouse stock and the manufacturer’s warehouse were emptied on the weekend. The manufacturer is trying to make more of these tablets to meet demand but our waiting period is expected to be at least one month at this stage,” states the email.
Amazon is encouraging its customers to purchase Thyroshield, a liquid form of Potassium Iodide, instead of the stronger potassium iodide. Only potassium iodide at a minimum strength of 130 mg is guaranteed to completely protect against radioactive fallout, although weaker liquid forms will go some way to offering protection against low doses of radiation.
It is important to stress that high-strength potassium iodide of the 130 mg or above variety should only be taken in a nuclear fallout emergency and not under any other circumstances.

Panic Buying: Stocks Of Potassium Iodide Exhausted In U.S.

We are getting numerous reports from readers that stocks of potassium iodide, which is used to protect the body against the effects of nuclear fallout, are completely sold out across the United States. Checks of health supplement websites in the U.S. also confirmed that stocks are completely exhausted.
With the threat of radioactive particles from the stricken Fukushima nuclear reactor complex drifting towards the United States on prevailing easterly winds, many Americans are attempting to protect themselves by acquiring potassium iodide, which protects the thyroid gland from radiation and cancer caused by radioactive iodine.
U.S. manufacturers of potassium iodide have been swamped with demand, reports CNN. One Williamsburg, Virginia-based company “Has received hundreds, if not thousands, of calls from potential buyers in Asia as well as repeat U.S. customers suddenly seeking to replenish their stockpiles of the drug.”
The U.S. government has said that it will not stockpile any further supplies of potassium iodide, which has only increased demand from Americans who are struggling to find it anywhere.
“The federal government has never purchased enough to meet that standard. There is currently only enough of the medication available for populations living within 10 miles of nuclear reactors in the United States, according to U.S. officials,” an amount Alan Morris, president of Anbex Inc, slams as being completely insufficient.
Morris points to the fact that the fallout from the April 1986 Chernobyl disaster, which was spread all around the northern hemisphere, led to over a million deaths because of radiation poisoning according to some estimates, causing thyroid cancer in children living in surrounding countries.
“U.S. drug stores are reporting a sudden increase in sales of over-the-counter anti-radiation pills, despite assurances from health officials that Americans are not at risk from Japanese nuclear reactors,” reports Fox News.
Some less than ethical private retailers are exploiting the shortages to charge nearly $300 for one pack of tablets, which normally retail at around the $15 level.
It is important to stress that high-strength potassium iodide of the 130 mg variety shown in the image above should only be taken in a nuclear fallout emergency and not under any other circumstances.
Watch a video simulation of how the Chernobyl radiation cloud affected the whole of Europe, causing governments to severely restrict cattle movements and food safety standards as far away as England and Wales.
Here are a couple of emails we received today;
I went to the Whole Foods Market in Arlington, Texas last night to get a bottle of kelp and they were out and totally out of potassium iodide. They would not get a shipment, if any, by this Friday.
Are people in this area more aware of what is going on in Japan than the people in Austin? I hope so.
Respectfully,
Doug
Good Luck finding any Potassium Iodide in the United States! Went on the internet and contacted all manufacturers, suppliers, health food stores, etc. NO ONE HAS ANY!
Just says temporarily out of stock on all websites…..What little was available is gone and the earliest they expect it is sometime possibly next month or the following month! Iosat manufactured and distributed by Anbex Inc. doesn’t even have it available.Good God… how would we get it if we needed it now?
Think the Government is going to help get it to us? Don’t think so! No one is saying anything about this little problem!

Radioactive Winds Head Towards Tokyo
Radioactive Winds Head Towards Tokyo As Some Flee Capital
Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
March 15, 2011
With Japanese authorities confirming that the third blast at Fukushima’s stricken nuclear plant caused radioactive particles to be released directly into the atmosphere, localized winds are blowing the radiation towards Tokyo, causing many to flee the capital, but the longer term trajectory of upper atmosphere prevailing winds will still send any potential radiation cloud towards the U.S. west coast.
Global Jet Stream Map for March 13-21.
Following a third explosion at the plant as well as a fire in another reactor, radioactive material is now leaking directly into the atmosphere at a rate of 400 milliseverts per hour, according to The International Atomic Energy Agency. Anyone who is exposed to more than 100 milliseverts a year risks contracting cancer.
Higher than normal levels of radiation have already been detected in Tokyo, with readings up to ten times higher than normal measured in Chiba, which is 15 miles from the capital. Gamma radiation levels in the Ibaraki prefecture, which is just a hundred or so miles north of Tokyo, are 30 times higher than normal.
The French embassy, which already advised its citizens to leave Tokyo on Sunday, warns that low level radioactive winds could reach the capital within hours.
The Japan Meteorological Agency says that the winds are currently blowing in a “southwesterly direction that includes Tokyo.”
“The Japan Meteorological Agency official said wind speeds will increase on Wednesday, blowing south at three to five meters (10 to 16 ft) per second before changing later in the day to blow easterly out to the Pacific Ocean at a faster rate of five to 12 meters (16 to 39 ft) per second,” reports Reuters.
South Korea’s Meteorological Administration also concurs that the winds will later head east out into the Pacific, a forecast also backed up by the United Nations’ weather agency.
The fact that the winds are set to change to an easterly direction and blow any radiation out to sea is good news for Japan, but it won’t be of any comfort to Americans living on the west coast. As we have documented, prevailing jet stream winds in the upper atmosphere will carry any radiation towards Alaska, California and Hawaii.
If the radiation leak is significant enough not to be dispersed over the Pacific Ocean, it will take roughly seven days to reach the United States.
As Accuweather.com notes, the threat of radiation reaching the west coast of the U.S. depends, “Upon how high the cloud rose into the atmosphere. This is because the winds normally vary widely between the near-surface and the upper atmosphere, home to the eastward-flowing jet stream.”
“Generally speaking, any radioactive cloud rising significantly into the atmosphere would travel essentially eastward and northeastward across the Pacific Ocean, eventually reaching North America anywhere between Alaska and California. The precise details as to timing and path taken would depend upon the state of the atmosphere at the time of the hypothetical radiation release.”
The potential for significant radioactive fallout over Tokyo, which has a population of around 13 million, has prompted some residents to flee the capital. Any widespread exodus would cause absolute chaos and would be worsened by the fact that the country is already trying to recover from a devastating earthquake and tsunami.
“Almost all of my friends here in the capital have left Tokyo with their families,” Jack Edney told the BBC. “They are scared about radiation reaching Tokyo and also many of their parents’ companies are taking them either down south, or out of Japan altogether.”
Another resident in Tokyo told the BBC, “There is a growing sense that the Japanese government is not telling us the true story. On one end, there is the Japanese media that plays down the nuclear drama and focuses on human drama, and at the other, the foreign media is up-playing the nuclear disaster. In my company I heard at least half the essential staff is being sent to Hong Kong, Singapore or even Sydney. I am preparing to leave Tokyo and/or Japan. So are many of my friends. There is a sense of deserting Tokyo as soon as possible.”
It is now clear that the Tokyo Electric Power Company has completely botched the crisis surrounding the Fukushima nuclear facility and is now engaged in a desperate cover-up. Even the Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan is being kept in the dark as to what is unfolding at the stricken plant.
According to the BBC and Japan’s Kyodo news, “The TV reported an explosion. But nothing was said to the premier’s office for about an hour,” a Kyodo News reporter overheard Mr Kan saying during a meeting with company executives. “What the hell is going on?”

Editor’s note: Update – from BBC News: 1049: Jack Edney in Chiyodaku, Tokyo writes: “Almost all of my friends here in the capital have left Tokyo with their families. They are scared about radiation reaching Tokyo and also many of their parents’ companies are taking them either down south, or out of Japan altogether. School has been cancelled and it is all really slow here. I really do hope that I won’t have to leave as well.”

If the following letter posted by the BBC Blog is indicative of prevailing popular mood in the Japanese capital now that the government has lost credibility (as Zero Hedge predicted on Saturday), Tokyo may soon be a ghost town.
