This is how an ELE starts. Global governmental denial, rogue websites, live video feeds in color. Body count hidden, statistics and news reports faked.
Then the tweets and vid feeds grow. More rogue websites start linking stories, and picking up the pace of spreading news awareness. Whistleblowers come forward. Some die.
More whistleblowers come out, as they realize they are dying anyway, so they are no longer afraid. News suppression becomes more intense. Finally websites start to not work.
And then the information reaches the 'global consciousness'. This information is already affecting the globe at an unconscious level, in our cells. Our cells know they are being attacked, and this isn't a fight they can win. It will spread upward through levels of consciousness until we are all fully aware of the 'end game'.
There is nothing anyone can do to stop any of this. We are living in the end of times, and nothing religious about it. This is what an ELE is. 'The Road', as is well said here, is the blueprint for what Japan, and then the US, is going to look like. Law and order will break down when the police/military either die off, or the remaining living ones refuse to go into radioactive zones, which in this case is whole segments of continents.
We will all need to decide how to make our final years meaningful. Some of us post. Some of us protest. Others, well, I really don't approve of what they're going to do. But they're going to do it.

without a restart, some people are going to lose large amounts of money. they wont let that happen.

100,000 Japanese rally against restart of nuclear power
"..The massive demonstration was called to protest a government decision to restart Sunday two reactors at the Oi plant in western Japan. It was the 14th demonstration organized by a coalition of anti-nuclear groups outside the premier’s residence since March 29. Organizers estimated the number of participants to be more than 100,000. The National Police Agency, which also releases estimates, was unavailable for comment. The looming restart of the two Oi reactors, a decision
made by Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda’s administration amid power-shortage concerns, seems to have galvanized support for Friday’s demonstration.
The sidewalks in front of the prime minister’s office and near the Parliament were overflowing with protesters. Some participants carried handwritten signs, while others held aloft elaborate placards reading ”No Restarts.” For more than two hours the crowd kept up a rhythmic cheer of “Against the restarts, against the restarts, against the restarts.”…"

When those who have become desperately ill and decide to bypass the Fuku no-go zone checkpoints and walk directly into Unit #2 for their final walk, maybe then it will get some mainstream news coverage.

Thank you Richard for your posts … keep your chin up and I second the idea of getting these new protest tools together. For years the Big Nukers have atomized the opposition through control of reporting … maybe this is a way to get around their road block.
Go Japanese … these demonstrations are making us proud of Japan.
PTB will cover up, deny and play down the numbers, but they are growing increasingly concerned that the nuclear game is up.
Wall Street won't touch them, and soon a pro-nuke stance will not win elections which are not rigged (like they are in many states in the good ol' United States of Cancer.)
I say it again: (are you listening, brother Barack??:
… Any government which remains pro-nuke post-Fukushima will lose the support of the Sheeple …
It's amazing how clueless a whole class of otherwise clever and competent people can be … these nuke heads. You'd think they had fallen in love with plutonium, the "demon" metal.
Go Japanese Go … Save your country … Save the world.
Peace to the 'newsers: Never give up, never give in. Our ranks are growing!!!
Thank you Admin. It's working!

it's starting to rain more heavily now. the protestors have had to turn off some amps and things (i see someone has an exercise bicycle, i wonder if it's for power generation).

i would have thought it's what we've all been waiting for for over 500 days now. This is a major event people.
The main stream media will not cover it.
The use of the technology itself is newsbreaking .. but it wont be a mention in the MSM.
From ex-skf, it's said "Mr. Iwakami is on the way to the scene, bringing in supplies and rain jackets to his staff at the scene who have been netcasting the protest all night on IWJ's USTREAM Channel. Iwakami is at JR Fukui Station"
Mr. Iwakami and his team are the protestors are performing a duty for all of us. I can't put it into words, you all know what we want here.
Do not let the team down. Watch. Email others, tell the world. Watch as the world ignores this very day, this major protest.
I should be doing so much today, but I have hardly left my computer watching these people. They are out there in the rain and chanting non stop into the face of riot police.
I'm nearly ready to book a ticket to go.. I'll sleep on that one.
Please watch and tell EVERYONE.

One thing this shows us very clearly is that governments may SAY they are 'of, by, and for the people' (talk is cheap) …exact wording varies of course… but clearly this is NOT the case in Japan.
And if it IS the case in other countries (such as the USA), then why are the governments of these other countries not coming forward in support of the Japanese people and in condemnation of the Japanese government's OPEN, BLATANT DEFIANCE of the wishes (and safety) of the people?
We see the Japanese government 'running naked' – exposed for what it is – ANTI-POPULIST and in control of monied interests which openly and without apology act in defiance of the public's wishes and best interests.

As I understand it – the reactors selected to be re-started have been re-started. I am deeply moved by these voices and hearts of people. In a sense, whether or not they mean to speak of wider humanity (and there's no reason in their circumstance they should think of the larger world) the people of Japan nevertheless speak from the heart of All People.
I am so sorry they are given their specific circumstances, but the rest of us need to realize – we are but a hair's width from the same. The people speak from an ultimate place of choice – either social/economic constructs serve life, or vice versa is the case.
A thought: If ever we humans needed evidence that – in the end -
monetary systems historically and presently give "trump value" over the humanity we are told they serve – restarting reactors is surely that evidence.
A 2nd thought: We are born, each of us, to this earth.
It is not until we discover there are "power over" games that "evaluate" our worthiness to thrive, that we must choose between suffering and corruption.
I am struck by both the plight and the conviction. This, to me, is the people of Japan – and it is also the people of the entire world. This is Saikado Hanta re nuclear – Beyond that, for all paradigms that cause nuclear power to "seem reasonable", the word "restart" is challenge for us to re-design our systems.
