Tepco edits 'photoshopped' image -- Removes original alteration (PHOTO)
-
Tepco: We fabricated part of the photo
Title: Fairewinds Nuclear Engineer Arnie Gundersen Lecture in Japan Q & A
Presented by: Green Action Japan
Date: September 3, 2012
At 17:20 in
Question from Audience Member (Translated): These photographs were released by Tepco… in the lower side of the east [Tepco says west] wall there’s this image but they’ve covered, they’ve blocked out the image.
What do you think they were hiding and why do you think they were hiding it?
At 33:00 in
Gundersen: I haven’t had a chance to look at this picture so I don’t know if it’s a poor picture or Tepco has deliberately distorted it. I just don’t know and until I get my really high quality monitor at home I just can’t tell, I’m sorry.

Hard to believe that Arnie hasn't already seen this Photoshopped image that was released several days ago. We'll be able to gain some insight, perhaps, as to his allegiance and his agenda if/when he finally does comment.

Arne is traveling in Japan, and getting connected in a land where the internet is highly censored concerning nuclear issues, it might be a little difficult in getting access to the image.

Remember that the DJP announced a zero percent nuclear policy? Well, they plan to enact it in 2015, and it will take effect in 2050 instead of 2030.
Didn't I mention smoke and mirrors? This is pure insult to the Japanese people.

Did you see this:
Japan's "industry minister Yukio Edano argued that shutting down Japan’s nuclear power plants may weaken its bargaining power internationally, and its ability to maintain nuclear technology in the future."
1. Bargaining power? How about worrying about the health and welfare of Japanese citizens who are already subject to radiation exposure.
2. The people of Japan have spoken. They want an end to nuclear technology.

Ice-cold creators
Of spent fuel, spent workers, spent countries
Of sterilised, glowing food in our pantries
Of fields you shouldn't walk on
Of water giving death
Now listen! No more beers!
Of air you couldn't count on
You better hold your breath
For half a million years!
Zombies in bomb factories
Breeding plutonium
Disguised as boilers
To cause pandemonium
Fish-like animals
In suits and ties
Hypnotising the sheep
When telling their lies
Cold-blooded reptils
No heart, no soul
War, suffering, destruction
Their only goal
They promise us richness
Prosperity and growth
The only things growing:
Our tumours and their nose
Internet prostitutes
Faking opinions
To please their masters
What spineless minions!
Modern-day Hitlers
Goebbels and Mengeles
Posing as experts
Educators and doctors
Now we see the lies
Running out their mouth
Their behind
And all their pores
They know they can not win
Except a little time
Until the lock snaps in
On those heavy doors
Will we celebrate?
Or be in shock?
After so much noise
So much theft
Is it too late
To turn back the clock?
We have no choice
But to save what's left
* * *
The alternative ending
If we don't stop their game
Would be: The new normal
Are the sick and lame
Our code will be torn
Our organs giving in
Few babies will be born
Our numbers getting thin
We hop on one leg
Or crawl on four
There will be no healing
No remedy in store
No food for…

No food for the hunger
No drink for the thirst
Then we all go down
But they go first

Gundersen is about facts. And is in Japan collecting them. He knows what he's doing, and has decided not to comment on the photo (at this moment). Be patient, because without him, there'd be no reliable info.

Arnie plays nice…so they will not revoke his visa. 30 years ago his current prognostications would have made him personna non grata in the foreign nucleocrat countries. In our country they would have probably had something unpleasant occur besides getting fired for being a whistleblower.
Brave guy…stay high profile Arnie…it's your best protection against the spooks.
They aren't too worried though… The current reading materials for 95% of the general population are Facebook, Twitter, and their cell phone text messages.
The last book they read had a monkey on the front and a man in a yellow cowboy hat. Curious reading habits.

I think Japan should use tidal power and wind as the location is perfect for these types of power. Tidal is used by Norway, and they have so much power that they sell it to neighboring countries. NO NUKES

Oregon State University is responsible for wave energy research and development.
University of Washington is responsble for tidal energy research and development.
Both universities will collaborate on outreach activities and information dissemination.

The cancer rate in Japan is not 1 in 3 will get cancer, it's one in three will die from cancer. So if 1 in 50 gets cancer from FUKU or some other form of pollution…Japan has a horrible enviroment already….even before FUKU.

Dearest many moons,
Yes.
You are extremely intelligent and brave.
Yes.
Please know, that you are not alone.
You are not alone because there are many others who appreciate you and can help because they too understand because their lives are much like yours. We are living with high levels of deception and trying to be our best persons.
You are very important to all of us here. We care very much about what you're going through and want very much to help.
Please take good care of you and yours.
Aloha.

1 in 3 dies from cancer in Japan? Didn't know that. Can you post the data/source for those numbers?Its valuable for us all to know! Even if in Japanese and has to be translated….
Report Comment
jec, online sources seem not to support the claim. Quite the opposite, in fact: "Only Japan has been a steady “A” performer over the past five decades." (meaning low cancer mortality rate, at least pre-Fukushima). Stats for various countries here:

The characters remaining number is just an estimate. I have found the middle teens (13 or above) is the best way to avoid a truncated post. But it gets me also sometimes. Pasting in too many characters of copied text is also fun… It will show a huge number remaining when none exists. So back off a couple of letters at the end and watch it suddenly give up the charade.
. WordPress fun!

Like that previous post was supposed to be a Reply to maxli above.. But it didn't.

Thanks for the advice. Did you realise it is quite similar how nuclear power plants are operated? "Ignore the red blinking lamp! Switch off the alarm! Keep the temperature in the middle teens (around 113 or so) and it will not go Kaboom…I think! Watch the black smoke coming out the chimney! General Electric fun!"

Gundersen: "and until I get my really high quality monitor at home I just can’t tell"
Oh dear oh dear. Well I can certainly sympathize with an old guy finding it a bit hard to keep up with technology. I'm a friggin' computer/electronics engineer, and I find it hard too. Being over 50 sucks.
Hey Mr Gundersen, try zooming the image.
