Japan: angry Fukushima citizens confront government (video), Boingboing.net by Xeni Jardin, July 25, 2011:

[...] The citizens are demanding their government evacuate people from a broader area around the Fukushima nuclear plant, because of ever-increasing fears about the still-spreading radiation.  [...]

When asked by one person at the meeting about citizens’ right to live a healthy and radioactive-free life, Local Nuclear Emergency Response Team Director Akira Satoh replies “I don’t know if they have that right.”

Boing Boing reader Rob Pongi spotted this online and sent this in to us. I asked him for more info.

[...] The meeting was entitled “Japanese Government Discussion – Demands for Evacuation Authority”. This meeting was attended by residents of Fukushima and some Representatives for the Nuclear Safety Commission Of Japan. It was filmed by some anonymous members of the “Save Child” website. This site includes Japanese news about the Fukushima Nuclear disaster, advice on how to avoid contamination, and many, many related videos. This site is much like enenews.com on steroids! I checked domaintools.com and the name of the registration is private. You can see the original Japanese videos of this meeting on the Save Child website here (English), and on Youtube here. This video was translated by pejorativeglut. And, for sure, the English subtitles are correct. I was not involved in the production of this video.

    Haven’t we learned that this may apply everywhere, and they all have made the choices to allow this to happen for profit and progress in many areas not looking to possibilities of real proportions, such as has with no or virtual no help to them affected such as the GOM disaster, now the flooding of Calhoun Power Plant, Las Alamos, and god knows what is next !

    No one in their right minds wanted this to happen.

    Since this has happened,
    We all need “FULL DISCLOSURE”, so we can make the right choices for ourselves.

    It’s not right or fair that the few privilege, know exactly what is happening.

    People want honesty, the truth, the correct stats from our officials.

      nice point but i got some bad news on the disclosure front. its official! its no longer ban the nuke….its ban the word nuke! merde!

      Now I fess up to a personal interest in this tragedy, and have made some comments, off topic, now it appears that it is extremely on topic.. to begin!

      The dear old beeb has extended all its awesome researchers onto this topic and come up with this!

      Norway massacre: Police probe killer’s links to UK
      “Anders Breivik, 32, who admits a bombing and shootings on Friday, wrote a manifesto in which he said he was recruited by two English extremists.
      But police sources say nothing significant has been found to suggest he planned the attacks in the UK.
      The UK National Security Council has called on police and security services to re-assess the level of scrutiny of far right groups.”

      According to the newspaper, the suspect before the crime Bureibiku, contact with the EDL, urged Britain to attack nuclear power plants. The Financial health is the primary purpose of the attack, “we lose the ability of the UK economy, for creating a favorable situation for the most important political change” and told the suspect was thinking.

        “The attack in Norway certainly seems to be a “False Flag” operation designed against Fundamental Christians and fundamental liberties of citizens everywhere.
        “NEWS BRIEF: “Norway horror: 80 die in camp shooting, 7 in blast”, Wikipedia News, 24 July 2011
        “The 2011 Norway attacks were twin terrorist attacks against the civilian population, the government and a political summer camp in Norway on 22 July 2011. The first was a bomb explosion in Regjeringskvartalet, the executive government quarter of Oslo, at 15:22 (CEST), outside the office of Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and other government buildings.The explosion killed seven people and wounded several others. The second attack occurred less than two hours later at a youth camp organized by the youth organization (AUF) of the Norwegian Labour Party (AP) on the island of Utøya in Tyrifjorden, Buskerud. An armed gunman disguised as a policeman opened fire at the campers, killing at least 86 attendees, including personal friends of Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and the stepbrother of Norway’s crown princess Mette-Marit.”
        “These two terrorist attacks seem to be specifically aimed at the elite of the political establishment of Norway, as some of the fatalities included “personal friends of Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and the stepbrother of Norway’s crown princess Mette-Marit.”
        “However, the numerical signature of this attack immediately became apparent to me. What is an occult numerical signature? Illuminati leadership believes that a good plan may fail unless it is carried out “by the numbers”. The most venerated occult numbers are: 6, 11, 13, and multiples thereof, especially 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77 etc. plus 26, 39 (multiples of 13).
        “The Number “11″ is the occult symbol for the coming Masonic Christ, whom the Bible calls “antichrist”. Therefore, when you see an event carried out where the basic numbers surrounding the event is an “11″ or a multiple thereof, you are looking at an event which has been carried out to support the appearance of the New Age Christ!
        “Therefore, I noted that this attack was carried out on the 22nd day of July, in a year ending with an “11″. Furthermore, the timing of the first blast was 15:22 (CEST). Therefore, we see another “22″. Also, occult dogma assigns a value of “death” to the Number 5, and “Triple Death” whenever a “5″ is repeated three times; an practicing occultist views the number “15″ as “5+5+5″ or Triple Death.
        “Certainly, the death toll was horrific, reaching almost up to triple digits.
        Almost immediately, the perpetrators were identified as members of Norway’s “Far Right Establishment”.
        “NEWS BRIEF: “Norway gunman faces court hearing”, BBC News, 25 July 2011
        “The man who has admitted carrying out Friday’s twin terror attacks in Norway, Anders Behring Breivik, has arrived for his first appearance in court … Mr Breivik, 32, has admitted carrying out a bombing in the capital, Oslo, and a massacre on an island youth camp, killing at least 93 people in total. He is said to be linked to far-right groups and to have spent years planning the attacks.”
        “This “suspect” is said to be known for his rabid anti-Islamic views.
        “His lawyer, Geir Lippestad, told Norwegian media on Sunday: ‘He thought it was gruesome having to commit these acts, but in his head, they were necessary. He wished to attack society and the structure of society’. Still pictures of the suspect, wearing a wetsuit and carrying an automatic weapon, appeared in a 12-minute anti-Muslim video called Knights Templar 2083, which appeared briefly on YouTube.”
        “It did not take long for stories to begin circulating that Breivik was a Conservative and a Christian.
        “NEWS BRIEF: “WHO ADDED ‘CHRISTIAN’ AND ‘CONSERVATIVE’ TO NORWAY SHOOTER’S FACEBOOK PAGE YESTERDAY?”, Atlas Shrugs, July 23, 2011
        “While the leftist and Islamic supremacist ghouls rush to portray Norway mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik as a Christian and even as an anti-jihadist, the unanswered questions multiply. Why did a jihad group take credit for the atrocities, and then retract? And who altered the murderer’s Facebook page?”
        “But shortly thereafter, this screenshot started circulating, of an altered Facebook page on which Breivik identified himself as a Christian and a conservative … Did he have two different Facebook pages, one in Norwegian and one in English, and he only identified himself as a Christian and a conservative on the English one? Or did he pause from his murder spree to add “Christian” and “conservative” to his Facebook profile? Or maybe the whole page is a fake, as has been reported here.”
        “This next news story reports that the shooter thinks of himself as a “Darwinian”, not a Christian.
        “NEWS BRIEF: “Terrorist proclaimed himself ‘Darwinian,’ not ‘Christian’ “, World Net Daily, July 24, 2011
        “A review of Anders Behring Breivik’s 1,500-page manifesto shows the media’s quick characterization of the Norwegian terrorist as a “Christian” may be as incorrect as it was to call Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh one … Piecing together Breivik’s various posts on the Internet, many media reports have characterized the terrorist … as a ‘right-wing, Christian fundamentalist’.”
        “Yet, while McVeigh rejected God altogether, Breivik writes in his manifesto that he is not religious, has doubts about God’s existence, does not pray, but does assert the primacy of Europe’s ‘Christian culture’ as well as his own pagan Nordic culture.”
        “Adolf Hitler certainly asserted the “primacy” of Europe’s “Christian culture”, a values system which badly twisted genuine Christianity to the point where the religion being practiced was the pagan Luciferianism of the Nordic legends. Europe’s Nordic “Christian culture” is certainly not Biblical Christianity
        “For the past two decades, Cutting Edge has been warning that the Illuminati considers Fundamental Christianity as its only real threat. Therefore, New Age authors have spoken repeatedly of the need to “purge” the world of Fundamental Christians as the world speeds quickly toward the appearance of the Christ.
        “Time and time again since the attacks of 9/11, Fundamental Christians have been put in a really bad public light. The objective is to publicly place Fundamental Christians in the same discredited category into which the Nazi dictator, Adolf Hitler, successfully placed the Jews just prior to his campaign of attempted annihilation. Believe me when I tell you that, in the coming New World Order, both Christian and Jew are targeted for genocide, but this time, the Christian will be murdered first.
        “We shall have to watch the details of this horror continue to unfold in our daily news. Watch the underlying themes carefully, to see if Fundamental Christians continue to take the propaganda brunt of this unfolding story.
        “Many years ago, Cutting Edge posted an article detailing exactly what a Christian Fundamentalist is and is not. Please take a few moments to read, NEWS1861, entitled, “WHAT IS A CHRISTIAN FUNDAMENTALIST AND WHY ARE THEY BEING REVILED BY OTHER ‘CHRISTIANS’?”
        “Only when you know what a Fundamentalist Christian is supposed to be can you then spot the phony. Truly, these are perilous times!
        “Breaking News!!
        “This Norway shooter is revealed to be a member of Freemasonry! At the 47 second mark of this YouTube Video, you will see him dressed in a Masonic dress suit with his color-coordinated Masonic apron clearly visible. Thus, we might just have the link to Illuminized Freemasonry which would explain this mass murder.
        “This Illuminati Card Game — “Mass Murder” — clearly illustrates that part of the Plan to produce Antichrist is to carry out public acts of mass murder. Such horrific slaughter works to discourage people of this current civilization so they will one day be very susceptible to the New Age Christ when he steps to the world stage and urges people to join him in destroying the Old Order so the New World Order can be established.

        “III. Right on cue, Mass Media pundits began calling for stricter controls on those “dangerous” right-wing extremists!
        “Suddenly, this tragedy is being declared a “watershed” event, worthy of government crackdown.
        “NEWS BRIEF: “Norway Attacks: We Can No Longer Ignore the Far-Right Threat”, by Matthew Goodwin, Guardian UK, 24 July 2011
        “The tragedy in Norway this weekend may prove to be a watershed moment in terms of how we approach far-right followers, groups and their ideology. Until now, European democracies and their security services had focused almost exclusively on the threat from al-Qaida -inspired terrorism. Rightwing extremist groups and their more violent affiliates were dismissed as a disorganised, fragmented and irrelevant movement This conventional wisdom, however, ignored wider evidence of a more violent and confrontational mood that was emerging within European far-right circles. This shift may have been a response to the arrival of al-Qaida-inspired terrorism …”
        “However, I find it very interesting that a pro-jihadi group initially claimed responsibility for the attack, only to retract that statement very quickly. Do you remember the somber lying words of First Lady Hillary Clinton, when she warned that America faced the threat of a “vast, right-wing conspiracy”, we now learn that Western society faces the “far-rightwing subculture”! Does this threat sound ominous enough to call for greater government control?
        “EuroPol has announced new plans of expansion of authority in the wake of this atrocity. Notice the call here for extra attention to combat “right-wing groups”.
        “NEWS BRIEF: “Oslo Bombing: Europol Plans Task Force In Wake Of Drama”, Huffington Post,
        “LONDON (AP) — In the wake of Norway’s terrorist attack, the European police agency is setting up a task force of more than 50 experts to help northern European countries investigate non-Islamic terror threats … the group, which is based in The Hague, hopes to help Norway and nearby countries in their investigations in the coming weeks. He said Norway has not requested forensic experts but that Europol could provide them if needed.
        ” ‘There is no doubt that the threat from Islamist terrorism is still valid’, he said. ‘But there have actually been warnings that (right-wing groups) are getting more professional, more aggressive in the way they attract others to their cause’.”
        “In the United States during the time of Bill Clinton and George Bush, the “far-right wing extremist” which the White House was teaching us to hate was called a “Domestic Terrorist”. It does appear that Europe’s equivalent to our Domestic Terrorist is being created now in people’s frightened minds in Europe.”

          Who these people are (theres more than one), a political party
          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natzi
          and heres what can be done about it
          http://uaf.org.uk/

          Norway is a devoutly Christian country and the far right use some of the more extreme Christian ( I use the term loosely) viewpoints to gain support! Also immigration prejudice is key but can only work with a compliant media. This was not a Christian attack on muslims! This was an attack on the children of labour supporters for promoting an inclusive immigration policy by a group of European natzis who work closely together and egg each other on!
          Pretty fucking sick! I don’t care whose behind them…..wait for the “crystal night” in reverse, especially in Norway.. all the Norwegian promoters of the swastika, will have to deal with trained and armed parents (still national service there) and friends/relatives etc and explain themselves (if they get a chance). Norway is only beginning the grieving process, I fear that later it will turn to anger….the natzis are known over there….one more point,,, the natzi killer was dressed in a norwegian policemans uniform. Wonder where he got that? He may have been trying to put blame on the Norwegian police force. The Norwegian police are going to be even more outraged by this… I think anybody supporting or are known to support the natzi party had better leave the country now so that a good mans hands need not be covered in blood! In other words fuck off out of Norway you natzi scum!!/rant will not discuss this again admin unless some of the crazy buggers get hold of a nuke power plant!
          just my take on it!

    “more and more high levels of radiation are being discovered outside of the evacuation zone, many more Fukushima residents (and many others located nearby Fukushima) want the government to also help them logistically and financially so that they can move out further away from the nuclear plants. Especially since many children are now being exposed. But the government does not want to do this at all and many people are getting very upset.”

    I suppose us westerners will get the same treatment from our respective governments if we give them a chance. Good Luck everybody you are all on your own. God Bless!

    TEPCO Confirms Reactor 4 Spent Fuel Pool Is Now An Uncontrolled, Open Air Fission Process

    Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/13/2011 19:25 -0400
    http://www.zerohedge.com/article/tepco-confirms-reactor-4-spent-fuel-pool-now-uncontrolled-open-air-fission-process

    “It had been a while since we had a factual update (as opposed to just lies and spin) from Fukushima. Courtesy of Kyodo, we now know that what was speculated by some as true, and rebutted by most as mere scaremongering, is in fact, fact. “Some of the spent nuclear fuel rods stored in the No. 4 reactor building of the crisis-hit Fukushima Daiichi power plant were confirmed to be damaged, but most of them are believed to be in sound condition, plant
    operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Wednesday.” Naturally, in one month we will learn that most of them are damaged, and in two months, that each and every one has been emolished. “The firm known as TEPCO said its analysis of a 400-milliliter water sample taken Tuesday from the No. 4 unit’s spent nuclear fuel pool revealed the damage to some fuel rods in such a pool for the first time, as it detected higher-than-usual levels of radioactive iodine-131, cesium-134 and cesium-137.” These confirm an ongoing fission reaction. In a tremendously ironic development, the No. 4 reactor, halted for a regular inspection before last month’s earthquake and tsunami disaster, had all of its 1,331 spent fuel rods and 204 unused fuel rods stored in the pool for the maintenance work. Unfortunately, the entire pool ended up being damaged following the quake and the subsequent explosion, in essence nullifying any protection that the containment dome would have provided. As the picture from the Asahi Shimbun below shows, the damage from overhanging structures which have subsequently fallen into the fuel pool likely means that there could well be an uncontrolled, if weak, fission reaction currently going on in the reactor 4 SFP (where the water temperature is currently 90 degrees) unprotected by the elements due to the complete destruction of the Reactor 4 shell.
    “The cooling period for 548 of the 1,331 rods was shorter than that for others and the volume of decay heat emitted from the fuel in the No. 4 unit pool is larger compared with pools at other reactor buildings.
    “According to TEPCO, radioactive iodine-131 amounting to 220 becquerels per cubic centimeter, cesium-134 of 88 becquerels and cesium-137 of 93 becquerels were detected in the pool water. Those substances are generated by nuclear fission.
    “The government’s Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said the confirmed radioactive materials were up to 100,000 times higher than normal but that the higher readings may have also been caused by the pouring of rainwater containing much radioactivity or particles of radiation-emitting rubble in the pool.
    “The roof and the upper walls of the No. 4 reactor building have been blown away by a hydrogen explosion and damaged by fires since the disaster struck the plant. The water level in the spent fuel pool is believed to have temporarily dropped.”
