yep. Think Abe will manage any better than Noda? Spinning wheels going nowhere fast.

We are fast approaching the 2 year anniversary of the disaster on 3/11/13. I would have hoped that by now a coherent plan for resolving this disaster would be fully underway. It might as well have happened yesterday except for the massive amount of invisible damage that has occurred. Perhaps it will take real visible imagery of birth defects and cancer before the International Media, governments and "Oversight" Groups get fully invested in finding a solution. Until then, it is like a broken record of impending doom.

Up until 2007, Japan had the highest rate of life expectancy for women, and the third highest rate for men, of all wealthier countries:

Americans, not so much. And now, after 3/11 . . .

There are plenty of pictures of deformed children from Chernobyl out there, but the media and governments haven't given much attention to them. Some of my own relatives seemed completely unaware of the pictures of children from Chernobyl. And governments have an interest in supporting the "scientific" assumptions that say there will be scarcely any health consequences (even if they are aware of evidence to the contrary, they're interests depend upon the widespread acceptance of the "don't-worry-be-happy" hypothesis).
In Japan, there is probably tremendous social pressure to abort any deformed children. Even before Fuku, there was apparently already a culture that encouraged/pressured women to abort physically and/or mentally handicapped babies, and there have since been reports that many young women who believed they had been exposed to radiation have been doing so. The Soviets simply forced countless women to have abortions. The Japanese use social pressure, making the women feel there is something "shameful" about a child that isn't "perfect." It's no less coercive, and the end result is the same. The adults who exert this pressure for self-interested reasons are really the shameful ones…

The adults who exert this pressure for self-interested reasons are really the shameful ones (along with those who allowed this accident to happen in the first place, of course, and those who didn't warn/evacuate people appropriately, and those who have handled its aftermath so corruptly and incompetently).

Get the people out of there first before even addressing the issue of fighting against Fukushima… Then maybe we could consider Abe doing better than others.
NO more talk about decontamination, only talk about evacuation…
NO more distribution of spoiled food, only import of safe fresh food for japanese …
No more misleading external radiation monitory, only focus on internal contamination damages…
No more truth hidding, only transparency…
And all this NOT TOMORROW, RIGHT NOW;;;

And to help make sure no one knows about it:

How convenient, just before the biggest news story in the history of mankind breaks.

How many years was it before a comprehensive plan was put in place to clean up the Chernobyl incident? And they were willing to admit there was an issue. Before they can get anything done they have to admit that there is something that needs fixing. So far all we're seeing is comments that everything is contained and they are cleaning up. As long as that mentality persists nothing is going to happen.

New Moon @ Perihelion, + all the Haarp crews seem to have started targeting on volcanoes instead of faults since the 2 big Vancouver area rumbles. If Mt. Fuji is kicked off in this INvisible 3rd World War, then Japan will have the GDP of Laos or N.Korea…

Or Cambodia.

Actually, the Cambodian economy appears to be much more healthy than that of most OECD nations, at the moment.

Little corium, or melted fuel, remains in Containment1 at the Fukushima Diiachi nuclear power plant. The video linked here contains important clues:
http://enenews.com/shiny-golden-matreial-coating-pipes-surfaces-inside-unit-1-containment-vessel-photos-video
Whispy steam and a few inches of calm water tell the tale. If corium were present, the steam would be thick and the surface of the water would be roiling. The TEPCO orthodoxy that MOST of the melted fuel remains in the Reactor1,2,&3 is, in fact, a myth. The TEPCO orthodoxy that ALL of the melted fuel remains in Containment1,2,&3 is, in fact, a myth. TEPCO orthodoxy is to maintain the lie that the "accident" has been contained, and is being cleaned up. Corium1,2,&3 hasn't been contained, and it isn't being cleaned up. There is no plan to address the reality that Corium1,2,&3 have become Rogue Nuclear Reactors1,2,&3, lost in the sandstone under Fukushima, perhaps following the layers of sandstone towards the Pacific Ocean. There is no plan to map and control the corium that has left Buildings1,2,&3. No plan has been made to stop the flow of heavily contaminated ground water into the Pacific Ocean. All that happens is that independent studies are now finding that the actual levels of radioactive contamination are many times those officially reported, as is being reported on ENEnews on an almost daily basis. The truth is that the "Fukushima accident" is being made many times worse by TEPCO lies and inaction.
