Tens of thousands protest Japan nuclear restart
[...]The protesters, carrying placards which read “Rise up against the restart” and “The nuclear era is over,” lined the streets around Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda’s residence in central Tokyo as police watched on, according to an AFP photographer.
The main entrance to the residence was seen guarded by armoured vehicles and barricades of uniformed police.
Organisers quoted in local media estimated turnout exceeded 100,000 people, over double the turnout they estimated at a similar protest last week. Lawmaker Yoshisu Arita, however, placed the figure at closer to 20,000 on Twitter.
[...]
The demonstration had been called by liberal writers Takashi Hirose and Satoshi Kamata in an online message which spread on Twitter and Facebook in what was likened by a popular tabloid to the “Arab Spring,” a wave of protests that topped governments in the Arab world last year.
[...]
UPDATE: Asahi: 150,000 to 180,000 said to protest in Tokyo streets -- Top headline on Mainichi (NEW VIDEO)

for those in the streets, and those yet to come:
No money, no skills?
With a Living Will and Burning Heart that won't stand still -
that's a start on a journey with Intent!
Iron-clad – with no thought of Surrender
nor offer of knee bent,
to those who smite the Innocent, the Tender,
those, who with their Humanity shed
have lost any hope of defense.
Champions and Knights, Saviours and Heroes
don't count dollars and zeros but Rights
and favor the facts of Love and Hope
that let all cope through the miseries
of History, Oppression, fact suppression,
War and Aggression against what is Good.
Where there is Light and Life there is Desire
and that is food to sustain the fight
in the streets of every neighborhood!

hey CB, I do hope it is a reminder of the forsaken.
I also hope it is a reminder that, however little we may think we have to offer, such as myself, it is still worth bringing our selves to the effort, if only to support those more capable.

Don't hold your breath. It's likely we'll see no mention of this massive demonstration in any of the MSM, let-alone a movie that shows the true reality of this hideous technology…
That said. Keep up the good spirits people! As we look to the people of Japan, they look to us…

Nuclear failed. Radiation plants must be decommissioned. Every one of them.

[REMOVED] The Japanese's nice lifestyle they enjoyed for decades was directly linked to the cheap and abundant nuclear energy they are protesting against. As usual, they got NO idea what they are doing or thinking. They are NOT thinking at all as a matter of fact and nether are all the posters here. Are the Japanese ready to get their electric bill up by as much maybe 200% at least and start paying double for everything? Beyond bakero.

U r baka.

So, your argument is: The Japanese should be willing to gladly die of cancer in a few years' time and run the risk of additional Fukushima meltdowns so that they may save money on their electric bill.
The Japanese are perfectly capable of doing without, or working with alternate power sources. They won't cry their eyes out if they can't have all the shiny toys made with cheap energy.
Right now, the children in Fukushima are crying blood.

Nuclear is NOT cheap, nor abundant.
Each plant cost so much, that if they used the same money to do solar, wind and geothermal or waves, they would be energy independent by now.
With NO NUCLEAR RADIATION to worry about.
No DEADLY WASTES to worry about.
Think about it.

hi petkov
"..Are the Japanese ready to get their electric bill up by as much maybe 200% at least and start paying double for everything? …"
like germanies HUGE increase in electricity costs?/sarc
or the fact that nuke france now imports solar from germany at NO extra cost (but some mild embarrasment)
or that nuke uk has been rising the prices of electricity and edf have to get a guarantee from the uk taxpayer.. which is actually illegal (if such thing exsists anymore..
nice chatting/sarc
200 percent? sounds like a richard wakeford statistic based on a BS algorythm.. got a link/s??

It's so cool to see how the truth stamps out lies on these threads …
the 'petkov' post above … trying to raise the pro-nuke flag, just absolutely trashed by a little truthful observation …
This is how it can be in every setting … only the nuclear shills usually remain hidden in their banker vaults, their corporate jets, their secluded estates, their private islands, their southern hemisphere redoubts, their hollowed-out mountains …
But we of the truth brigades, the vanguard of a post-nuclear future will never back down, we will never give up, until our last radioactive breat. Our death rattle will be, "No Nukes!!!"
