Transcript Excerpt at 7:25 in
Narrator: Eisako Sato was Governor of the prefecture for 18 years in Fukushima. Member of the then ruling conservative party LPD (Liberal Democratic Party).
Sato is a man of the political establishment who even accompanied the Japanese royal couple on their travels.
He let himself be convinced that the nuclear industry posed no danger for the population.
But then Sato lost his trust.
Sato: I received 20 faxes from informants from the nuclear power station about my prefactor. Two of those were also from Kei Sugaoka.
The Minister of Economics, instead of checking the accusations, directly passed on the information to TEPCO.
Then something happened that I can hardly believe. TEPCO simply falsified the reports.
I then wrote a newspaper article saying that if they continued to do this that there would definitely be a serious accident.
Narrator: Now the bureaucrats must act. 17 reactors are switched off.
A new investigation discovered that the electricity company TEPCO has been falsifying documents for decades, has hushed up serious incidents, including a nuclear meltdown in Fukushima that was concealed for 30 years.
Executives resign, staff are punished but receive new posts. Nobody is charged.
The most responsible at TEPCO Tsunehisa Katsumata is even promoted to president of the company. He excuses himself with to governor Sato for the fraud and unethical behaviour.
Sato however doesn’t rest. He continues to criticise the rapid growth of nuclear energy.
This however goes against the game rules of Japanese nuclear politics.
In 2004 they take revenge.
Sato: On the 27th of December a newspaper report appears in which I was accused of being entangled in illegal real estate sales.
The author was a journalist who was actually specialised in nuclear politics.
The story was a pure fiction. Then my brother was arrested.
The responsible solicitor was from the department of the minister president had been temporarily moved here.
His name was Morimoto and he told my brother that sooner or later we would destroy your brother the Governor.
It went so far that 200 people from my circle of friends were put under pressure.
They told them: “Speak badly about the Governor – that is enough for us”.
Two or three couldn’t stand the pressure and committed suicide.
One of my department leaders is still lying in coma.
Narrator: To protect his friends and colleagues Sato resigns.
A court later confirms his innocence but the troublemaker who dared to break his silence is finished.

glofus…Nope. It doesn't end till we all die or risk brutal death protesting the Empire's psychopathy. It's worth the chance because they are hell-bent-on-killing everything anyway.

This shows that there is not a clear line between evil doers intentionally covering up damaging evidence and truths about the dangers of nuclear power and those who had come to support it and what it could bring for their community. Not every nuclear supporter, engineer, mayor, or governor allied to nuclear power is a shill. Understanding this and finding the way to their hearts will be the path to change.

"a nuclear meltdown in Fukushima that was concealed for 30 years"
Remember the outrage and blame towards the USSR for concealing Chernobyl. If the world could only muster some of those reations again.
Does anybody have further data on this incident?
Report Comment
A big drought struck part of the country in 2011.
Dr. Ellicot claimed HAARP was used to re-route the jet streams to keep Fuku fallout out of the lower 48.
Back in 1980, a similar severe drought struck.
Makes me wonder if there was not some event back then which warranted re-route of the jet streams. Could it have been this covered up Japanese meltdown?
Report Comment
perhaps there is truth when tepco says certain radiations are not from this event. what they mean to say is, they are from their other event 30 years ago that you do not know about. Oh and what about the iaea, the soviets and the americans, are these not the ones that have been monitoring for this crap as in 'shit, i think japan just tested a nuclear device!?', wasnt that the attitude of the 'cold war' times? so where are the records, start with foi requests.
