Information that CIA Lets Former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi Make Remark: “Zero Nuclear Power” Frightens Abe Administration


Since information of Mr. Eiken Itagaki is not trustworthy, I usually use it on only as a guide. However, I have found half of this information true.
It seems that Shinzo Abe has finally understood that it is Japan handlers that let former Prime Minister Koizumi have a say about zero nuclear power, although he firmly has believed he acts based on their intentions.
To be more specific, former Prime Minister Koizumi acts under the orders of Michael Green. Such incredible move cannot be explained unless Japan handlers have sold out to the Nathaniel camp as I have always pointed out.
Just yesterday I said to my wife, “Ex-prime minister Koizumi’ warning is an ultimatum. Unless he obeys to it, the Abe administration will be collapsed.”

Information that CIA Lets Former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi Make Remark: “Zero Nuclear Power” Frightens Abe Administration

*[Special information (1)]
Information has flied about around Nagata-cho, where the Diet building is located, and Kasumigaseki, where central governmental offices are built, that there exist the global elite and their servant C.I.A. behind a “zero nuclear power” duo of former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi and People’s Life Party Representative Ichiro Ozawa, and that particularly former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi is ordered to say “zero nuclear power.” This information frightens the Abe administration. This information is gained through an informer familiar with the innermost sanctuary of the political world.

[Takashi Hirose] People across the country, please pass this information on to the world.

English translation of an excerpt from a Japanese article: Hibi Zakkan – September 27, 2013 –

People across the country, please pass this information on to the world.

Everybody in Japan, I am Takashi Hirose.

We cannot continue to disgrace Japan by letting Shinzo Abe’s big lie keep going on.  I have written a letter in English to athletes across the world.  I’d like to ask you to translate the letter into your language to pass it on to young people in your country.  If you have an acquaintance in IOC in your country, please pass it on to him/her.  Since the athletes who will join the Tokyo Olympic Games are junior or senior high school students now, it is important to correctly convey the reality of Japan to their parents.

The weekly Asahi published this week on September 24 (October 4 issue) ran a feature article.  It gives a detailed report on the risk of exposure to radiation the children living in the Kanto region have faced, which was found by cesium urinalysis.  However, please read about the relationship between cesium and polluted water with the following fact in mind.  Fish caught in waters close to Japan read 0.086 Bq/kg on average before the Fukushima nuclear accident, while fish reading the current standard of 100Bq/kg, which is 1160 times higher than the normal level, is distributed as “safe fish.”  Every media reports that all seafood is “less than the limit of detection” with 1000- times dangerous seafood as the standard.


 (Reference): We see no rise in radiation dose in Hiroshima whitebait, while we see a leap in radiation dose in Ibaragi one.

A Letter to All Young Athletes Who Dream of Coming to Tokyo in 2020, and to Their Coaches and Parents: Some Facts You Should Know (Takashi Hirose)



A Letter to All Young Athletes Who Dream of Coming to Tokyo in 2020, and to Their Coaches and Parents: Some Facts You Should Know

On 7 September, 2013 Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said to the 125th session of the International Olympic Committee, the following:

Some may have concerns about Fukushima. Let me assure you, the situation is under control. It has never done and will never do any damage to Tokyo.

This will surely be remembered as one of the great lies of modern times. In Japan some people call it the “Abesolute Lie”. Believing it, the IOC decided to bring the 2020 Olympics to Tokyo.

Japanese government spokespersons defend Abe’s statement by saying that radiation levels in the Pacific Ocean have not yet exceeded safety standards.
This recalls the old story of the man who jumped off a ten-storey building and, as he passed each storey, could be heard saying, “So far, so good”.
We are talking, remember, about the Pacific Ocean – the greatest body of water on earth, and for all we know, in the universe. Tokyo Electric Power Company – TEPCO – has been pouring water through its melted-down reactor at Fukushima and into the ocean for two and a half years, and so far the Pacific Ocean has been able to dilute that down to below the safety standard. So far so good. But there is no prospect in sight of turning off the water.
Here are eight things you need to know.

  1. In a residential area park in Tokyo, 230 km from Fukushima, the soil was found to

    image
    have a radiation level of 92,335 Becquerels per square meter. This is a dangerous level, comparable to what is found around Chernobyl ④ zone (the site of a nuclear catastrophe in 1986). One reason this level of pollution is found in the capital is that between Tokyo and

    Fukushima there are no mountains high enough to block radioactive clouds. In the capital people who understand the danger absolutely avoid eating food produced in eastern Japan.

    image
  2. Inside Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Reactors #1 - #3 the pipes (which had circulated cooling water) are broken, which caused a meltdown. This means the nuclear fuel overheated, melted, and continued to melt anything it touched. Thus it melted through the bottom of the reactor, and then through the concrete floor of the building, and sank into the ground. As mentioned above, for two and a half years TEPCO workers have been desperately pouring water into the reactor, but it is not known whether the water is actually reaching the melted fuel. If a
    image
    middle-strength earthquake comes, it is likely to destroy totally the already damaged building. And as a matter of fact, in the last two and a half years earthquakes have continued to hit Fukushima. (And as an additional matter of fact, just as this letter was being written Fukushima was hit by another middle-strength earthquake, but it seems that the building held up one more time.
    So far so good.) Especially dangerous is Reactor #4, where a large amount of

    nuclear fuel is being held in a pool, like another disaster waiting for its moment.

    image

  5. The cooling water being poured into the reactor is now considered the big problem in Japan. Newspapers and TV stations that previously strove to conceal the danger of nuclear power, are now reporting on this danger every day, and criticizing Shinzo Abe for the lie he told the IOC. The issue is that the highly irradiated water is entering and mixing with the ground water, and this leakage can’t be stopped, so it is spilling into the outer ocean. It is a situation impossible to control. In August, 2013 (the month prior to Abe’s IOC speech) within the site of Fukushima Daiichi Reactor, radiation was measured at
    8500 micro Sieverts per hour. That is enough to kill anyone who stayed there for a month. This makes it a very hard place for the workers to get anything done. In Ohkuma-machi, the town where the Daiichi Nuclear Reactor is located, the radiation was measured in July, 2013 (two months before Abe’s talk) at 320 micro Sieverts per hour. This level of radiation would kill a person in two and a half years. Thus, over an area many kilometers wide, ghost towns are increasing.
    image
  6. For the sake of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, an important fact has been left out from reports that go abroad. Only the fact that irradiated water is leaking onto the surface of the ground around the reactor is reported. But deep under the surface the ground water is also being irradiated, and the ground water flows out to sea and mixes with the seawater through sea-bottom springs. It is too late to do anything about this.

    image

    image

    image

    image
  7. If you go to the big central fish market near Tokyo and measure the radiation in the air, it registers at about 0.05 micro Sieverts – a little higher than normal level. But if you measure the radiation near the place where the instrument that measures the radiation of the fish is located, the level is two or three times greater (2013
    image
    measurement). Vegetables and fish from around the Tokyo area, even if they are irradiated, are not thrown away. This is because the level established by the Japanese Government for permissible radiation in food – which if exceeded the food must not be sold – is the same as the permissible level of radiation in low-level radioactive wastes. Which is to say, in Japan today, as the entire country has been contaminated, we have no choice but to put irradiated garbage on the dinner table.

    The distribution of irradiated food is also a problem. Food from near Fukushima will be sent to another prefecture, and then sent on, relabeled as produced in the second prefecture. In particular, food distributed by the major food companies, and food served in expensive restaurants, is almost never tested for radiation.
  8. In Japan, the only radiation from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Reactors that is being measured is the radioactive cesium. However large amounts of strontium 90 and tritium are spreading all over Japan. Strontium and tritium’s radiation consists of beta rays, and are very difficult to measure. However both are extremely dangerous: strontium can cause leukemia, and tritium can cause chromosome disorder.
    image
  9. More dangerous still: in order, they say, to get rid of the pollution that has fallen over the wide area of Eastern Japan, they are scraping off the top layer of the soil,
    and putting it in plastic bags as garbage. Great mountains of these plastic bags, all weather-beaten, are sitting in fields in Eastern Japan subject of course to attack by heavy rain and typhoons. Eventually the plastic will split open and the contents
    will come spilling out. When that happens, there will be no place left to take them.

  10. On 21 September, 2013 (again, as this letter was being composed) the newspaper Tokyo Shimbun reported that Tokyo Governor Naoki Inose said at a press conference that what Abe expressed to the IOC was his intention to get the situation under control. “It is not,” Inose said, “under control now.”

It’s a sad story, but this is the present situation of Japan and of Tokyo. I had loved the Japanese food and this land until the Fukushima
accident occurred. But now...

Former Chairperson of NRC George Jaczko Ventures into Abandoning Nuclear Power Generation


I have watched the personality and behavior of Chairperson Jaczko on TV since March 11, 2011 and I have told to my wife that there is a respectable person involved in nuclear energy.  Looking at the photo, I have found him really beautiful – oh, I’m not talking about his head.
He emits very beautiful light, not reflected light.
If you get to see through a person at first sight, you will understand everything else very well.

Former Chairperson of NRC George Jaczko Ventures into Abandoning Nuclear Power Generation


Mr. Jaczko who checks terminology with an interpreter before a lecture
= on 23 at Chiyoda Ward  Photograph: Shun Yamada =

Former Chairperson of Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) George Jaczko has come to Japan and given a lecture in Tokyo today.
Mr. Jaczko had tried to strengthen nuclear regulation following the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, which had him isolated within the Commission.  He resigned as chairperson in May last year.  (According to Wikipedia and others)

Mr. Jaczko has never bent his principles as he witnessed a harsh accident in the country to which the U.S. had sold nuclear power plants.  He gave a very thought-provoking speech.  (Remarks indicated by boldface are given by Mr. Jaczko.)

Suprisingly, Mr. Jaczko made such remarks that he ventured into abandoning nuclear power generation.

“Every time I visit Japan, I am surprised at the spirit of the Japanese and technology.  I believe it is possible to create energy source for the next generation and a new electric power transmission system.  That will free us from the use of nuclear energy that requires expensive facilities.  It will also free us from the use of technology (nuclear power) that causes harsh accidents.”

Nuclear safety myth was not just limited to Japan but we also had it in the United States that had experienced the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant accident.  Japan, a client state, has also been infected with the myth.

“The nuclear power industry says ‘All nuclear power plants are safe and no accident will happen.’  If an accident happens, they try to make an improvement.”  “If an accident happens, we will make a fuss about it.  We have to talk about nuclear power plants with understanding of a possibility of nuclear accident.  Accident will happen at some future point.”



Former Chairperson of NRC George Jaczko says: “Several nuclear power plants in the U.S. have been closed for a several years due to safety problems.” 
= Photography: Shun Yamada =

It seems that no lessons from the Three Mile Island accident have been learned in Japan, where only the Chernobyl accident has been in the news.

“The Three Mile Island accident showed that evacuation planning was very fragile.  (And yet,) you didn’t learn the important lesson (of the Three Mile Island accident) in Fukushima nuclear power plants.  Since no careful planning was made beforehand, evacuation got extremely confused.”
“The safety standards you have to develop following the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident are not to produce any evacuees and not to contaminate the environment outside power plant facilities.”

Additionally, the former chairperson emphasized: “It is also important for citizens to lobby the Diet and the government.”

In a Q and A session, this writer asked him: “What do you think about the Japanese government that underestimates the contaminated water problem?”  The former chairperson answered as follows:

“I am afraid that the people might have been more concerned about TEPCO’s lack in competence to cope with the problem.  Why wasn’t the government engaged in it earlier?  The government paid too much attention to resumption of the nuclear power plant.”

Mr. Jaczko might make a bold remark because he is the “former” NRC chairperson.  I wonder what Japan Nuclear Regulation Authority Chairman Shunichi Tanaka will say about the Fukushima nuclear accident after retiring from office.

Mr. Jaczko will hold a lecture and press interview in Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan (FCCJ) tomorrow on 24.

[Must-See Video] “True Voice” of Fukushima Farmers – “38th National Action Day of Environmental Pollution Victims”


I quite agree with the writer of this article.  In my opinion, to save many people including farmers in Fukushima, something like “Japanese version of Peshawar-kai*” is needed and it is easier to solve the problem not through the intervention of the government.

Masatoshi Takeshita
September 17, 2013


English translation of an excerpt from a Japanese article: Ankoku Yakou – September 17, 2013 –

“38th National Action Day of Environmental Pollution Victims” - “True Voice” of Fukushima Farmers -

This time I have introduced a video which aims to broadcast to overseas countries “The 38th National Action Day of Environmental Pollution Victims” (Negotiation with TEPCO/Japanese Government) held on June 6 this year, with English subtitles.

If you see this video, you will understand how strongly guilty farmers in Fukushima feel about growing produces they and their families don’t want to eat, in the farm land which is left radiation-contaminated without decontamination work and being forced to ship them to the market, and how strongly “indignant” they feel about the dishonest response of the government (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and Ministry of Education).

After listening to the appeal of farmers appearing on this video, you will understand that the government’s big campaign called “Let’s support by eating,” through which farm produces grown in Fukushima are shipped across the country, does not aim to save farmers but to have the Japanese people “shoulder” the compensation that the government are supposed to completely pay to them.

In a word, farmers who suffered from serious contamination due to the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident are forced against their will to grow contaminated produces in contaminated farm land because they have not been compensated properly, while the government, which as well as TEPCO is supposed to make compensation payment to farmers, wrongfully utilizes the honest feelings of the people who “want to support the afflicted areas” and have the people shoulder it.

No, additionally, the government not only has the people shoulder the payment, but also nonchalantly takes “inhuman act” by having good people unnecessarily endanger internal exposure.

The video I have introduced this time is a digest version.  If you have time to spare, I recommend you to see “a full version.”  You will accurately understand what “cold-blooded” and “monstrously evil” people the bureaucrats in Kasumigaseki who repeat irresponsible remarks “with no expression in the face like Noh mask” in a bureaucratic manner.

Let me say a word to those who are naïve to agree with “Let’s support by eating campaign” with a full understanding of your criticism.  Regrettably, you are “supporting” not farmers in Fukushima but the government/TEPCO that should pay a lot of compensation to the farmers.

What I want you to recognize before everything else is the fact that the purchase of food stuff grown in Fukushima out of good will promote a “negative chain” to grow and ship the contaminated food, which is against the will of farmers in Fukushima Prefecture, and as a result encourage the “internal exposure of all people.”

Of course, the “real culprit” is bureaucrats in Kasumigaseki and stupid politicians who purposely calculate to make the people to do so.

However, as an expression like “the cheated are equal to cheaters,” my personal opinion is that the people deceived by the government need to contemplate more.

This is because state power always deceives the people at any time and at any place and the mechanism will be repeated forever unless the people awake.

Now I’m going to stop my statement.  Anyway, please see the video

“Do you intend to protect people” Niigata Prefectural Governor Criticized Nuclear Regulation Authority [ Everybody wants to be happy ]


There are quite a lot of sincere heads of municipal governments like Niigata Prefectural Governor Izumida.  We have to be careful not to misjudge who is our friend and who is our enemy.

“Do you intend to protect people” Niigata Prefectural Governor Criticized Nuclear Regulation Authority


Niigata Prefectural Governor Izumida: Do you intend to secure the safety of nuclear power plants and safety of the people?

Nuclear Regulation Agency Secretary Ikeda: Yes, it’s a matter of course.  It’s our duty and it’s a matter of course.

Izumida: Do you intend to come face-to- face with the area where nuclear power stations are located?

Ikeda:  Of course.

Izumida:  Do you?

Ikeda: Yes.

Izumida:  Why hasn’t NRA Chairman Takana come to see me today?


Ikeda: We are going to fully inform him of what is talked in the meeting.  Well, ….

Izumida:  Why are you going to use indirect speech?

Ikeda:  No, well ….  There are many visitors from many groups.  Well…

Izumida: Do you think that Niigata is one of such groups?  We hold jurisdiction over local administration.

Ikeda:  You hold jurisdiction over administration, but you’re the same.

Izumida:  We shares responsibility for nuclear safety administration, don’t we?

Ikeda:  Well, anyway.


Izumida: Isn’t Nuclear Regulation Authority the body which is responsible for evacuation?

Ikeda:  Well, do you want to say that we have to obtain permission from the residents?

Izuimda: Exactly. So, why can you do that without listening to on-site voicest?  Without doing it, you say it is perfect safety standard.
Niigata prefecture has experienced at least a fire accident and complex disaster at the Kashiwazaki Kariwa nuclear power station when the Chuetsu-oki Earthquake occurred.
What happened?
I wonder why you can judge without asking what actually happened on the scene.
What did we find it difficult to cope with?
For example, in the case of complex disaster, it is likely that power-supply car will not reach the scene.
What are you going to do?
No investigation of Fukushima nuclear power plant accident has been made.
You never listen to the administrative body.
You never listen to on-site voices, either.
What makes you think that such safety standard is helpful?

Why can you explain this in just 15 minutes?  First you said “Up to 15 minutes.”


Press Section Chief Akira Sato: As for 15 minutes, I hear that Niigata prefectural government said 15 minutes was enough!
*What Section Chief Sato is like: kiikochan.blog136.fc2.com/blog-entry-2388.html

Izumida:  I want you to stop such excuse.
Can you say to the people, “you can trust in nuclear safety administration”?

Reporter:  Governor, from the beginning, you seemed to get very angry.

Izumida:  It’s quite natural.  We have been studying the safety standard since March.  We informed the NRA of what experts had studied in the prefectural technical committee.  Although I asked him to see me to talk about “more secure environment,” Chairman Tanaka won’t meet me.
Furthermore, at a press conference Chairman Tanaka says *”Why do I have to answer the question of Niigata prefectural governor?  I have no obligation.”
I can’t help but feel that it is doubtful whether “the NRA feels responsible for securing the people’s safety.”

Reporter:  What are you going to request the NRA to do anew?

Izumida:  To secure safety.
It is most important to investigate why the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident occurred and study how to cope with it.  Additionally, what matters most is to provide information with transparency.
They never provide any information.  They get things going self-righteously without listening to us.
They try to say “we have developed a guideline and that’s the end of the story.”
I think it is difficult for them to win the confidence of the people.

Reporter:  How about the reoperation of the Kashiwazaki Kariwa nuclear power station?

Izumida:  Therefore, I ask a question: “should we investigate the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident first?”
From their response, I think those involved have not given an answer.
I think it should be done first.

Reporter:  No matter how long will it take?

Izumida:  Therefore, it has nothing to do with time.

[Shinshu no Izumi] NHK Announcer Jun Hori To Resign Will Angry Young Men Belonging to Mass Media Launch a Coup? Let’s Create an Independent New Media!


I agree with this writer.  I also want young people to awaken.  However, never arouse a feeling of “anger” and “violence.”  Please arouse “wisdom.”  Wisdom means to realize the fact as it is.  Take for example, the fact that deities and alien species exist and are around us.

NHK Announcer Jun Hori To Resign  Will Angry Young Men Belonging to Mass Media Lauch a Coup?  Let’s Create an Independent New Media!

NHK announcer Jun Hori, who was an expectant youth, responsible for the next generation, has decided to leave NHK.  From common people’s point of view, he has been on the career track as an elite announcer in NHK.  However, my guess is that Mr. Jun Hori, a 36-year-old young announcer, has felt uncomfortable with (critical over) the coverage of mass media on the harsh nuclear power plant accident since March 11, 2011, He also felt angry and disgusted at NHK, which he himself belongs to, because NHK, which plays a role in assisting the force of vested interests associated with nuclear power generation, not only avoids providing substantial reports over the accident, following the example of commercial TV stations but also is being focused on a sort of intentionally biased coverage. (Photograph: “Gendai Business”)

A 36-year-old clean youth, who is regarded as the elite in a public broadcast station, had lofty ideals and dreamed of becoming a respectable journalist.  However, he seems to have had a deep anger at the corporate culture of NHK he joined in, particularly in the area of news report, hotbed of the rotten sea.*  As Mr. Mad Amano, a parodist, had a deep insight of the incident, at the end of last year Takeshige Morimoto, an announcer, who just served as the host of a program “NHK Special: Final Report of Nuclear Power Plant Accident” featuring serious examination of the severe accident at Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, underwent hardship of arrest in line with the national policy in order to serve as a warning to other major mass media.  The same case was with Mr. Kazuhide Uekusa, an economist, and Mr. Naoyuki Mikami, the former editor in chief of the weekly Toyo Keizai, both of whom were accused of unjustly.

Mr. Uekusa, Mr. Morimoto and Mr. Mikami, as exemplars of real journalists, stick to their beliefs, as professionals or individuals, that they dare to express their candid opinions to highlight the huge evil.  Mr. Uekusa condemned the huge evil of the Koizumi administration in its economic and political policies.  Mr. Morimoto who faithfully served as a MC in the above program, incurred the wrath of the nuclear power establishment and was symbolically turned into a human sacrifice.  Mr. Naoyuki Mikami, the former editor in chief of the Toyo Keizai, had edited splendid critical articles of TEPCO in the weekly.  They are models of real journalists.

According to the “Gendai Business,” Mr. Jun Hori kept twittering apology to “false report” by NHK as well as criticism, and severely criticized the country as mentioning that the death of a decontamination worker was unrelated to decontamination work.  In November last year, he called for thorough disclosure of information and was bold enough to say “It is useless to count on the country and organizations.  Stop counting on them any longer.  Let’s move on our own.  Let’s think on our own.  Let’s change this country on our own.  Because it is our country” (twitter: on December 12, 2011).  He also produced an antinuke film and showed it in UCLA.  He had stuck to his guts even in the rotten sea NHK.

With regard to the force of vested interests, Mr. Jun Hori, who has such a level of spirit of rebelliousness, denies the mentality of “Yield to the powerful” and honestly talks about his belief.  As a result, NHK bullied him and relegated him to an innocent cooking program to stop his political comments.   It is quite natural that Mr. Jun Hori thinks “Don’t fooling around.”  Even if Mr. Jun Hori with strong will power stays in NHK, he will eventually “suffer being investigated in line with the national policy.”  Therefore, he has made the wisest judgment of retirement to launch a new career, jumping out of the cage.  There is no future in Japan unless the young awaken and demonstrate their anger by action.  This writer, a patriotic old man, has high hopes for “undaunted young people” like Mr. Jun Mori.

(Note)*Rotten sea
It is an image appearing in a film “Kaze no Tani no Naushika” directed by Hayao Miyazaki, which is a grotesque world where toxic miasma evaporates.  Current mass media is the very hotbed of rotten sea, grotesque complex of vested interests and starts causing Japan to corrode with its miasma.

[J-CAST News] NHK announcer Jun Hori “deeply apologizes for having concealed a nuclear power plant accident, following the policy of Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.” He will be in charge of “Today’s cooking.”

My wife likes NHK announcer Jun Hori very much.  I also have been paying attention to him as one of young people who will open the way for future from early on.  All are not dirty cowards; the same can be said for every organization.  I think that there are many good staff members in NHK.  The point is for respectable people in every organization to work together.  By the way, Mr. Hori will be in charge of a program “Today’s cooking.”  I hope my wife will be better at cooking.  Today’s lunch was a super healthy dish.  Of course, it’s a positive meaning.

On March 11, 2013, NHK announcer Jun Hori, 35, tweeted: “I deeply apologize for not having been able to report the fact properly though I was at the news studio on that day.  “Although we NHK had known the existence of SPEEDI, we cancelled reporting our data, following the policy of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology that concluded that the data “lacked reliability in accuracy.”  We did not play a role as a public broadcast station that has to protect public life and property.  We have to deeply reflect on our failure to act and apologize to people.”  He raised a question about the way NHK reported at the time of the earthquake.

“Our station urges us announcers ‘not to give an opinion in public though each of us has different feeling’.”  He has disclosed the interaction within the station.

After the end of a program “Biz Sports” he was in charge of, in March 2012, Announcer Hori went to the U.S. to study as a guest researcher at UCLA.  At the university he produced a documentary film on the nuclear power plant accidents.  He will come back to work and will be in charge of a program “Today’s cooking.”

Governor explodes with anger “Almost murder” over incineration of disaster debris
Yomiuri Shimbun February 15


In the press conference of February 14, Niigata Governor Hirohiko Izumida strongly criticized Kashiwazaki city and Sanjo city for starting full-swing incineration of disaster debris and gave a comment: “If someone dies, I shall say it is injury resulting in death.  But it is almost murder to incinerate disaster debris knowing the risk of radiation.”

On 12th, he also criticized such incineration by the two cities as “criminal act.”
In the press conference on 14th, he exploded with anger, saying “Can both cities take responsibility for the future?”

Sanjo City Mayor, Yuto Kunisada criticizes the governor as “dictator.”  The governor rebutted by saying “Is he going to say that I should not give my opinion and is he going to curb the freedom of speech?  Isn’t it the dictatorship to incinerate disaster debris ignoring residents’ opinions in his city?”

The governor also criticized the mayor by name: “I wonder Mr. Kunisada thinks he will not live in Niigata in the future.”

----------------------------------------
Governor Hirohiko Izumida of Niigata has always expressed his legitimate opinions on the nuclear power plant accident and radiation contamination, and submitted a questionnaire to the Environmental Agency.

Although he was a former bureaucrat of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Technology, he honestly and candidly criticizes the government for its lack of common sense which leaves people to be unfairly exposed to radiation, and he also criticizes municipalities which follow the central government.

I’d like to introduce what he gave comments on nuclear power plants in the three regular press conferences held from December last year to February this year.

Summary of regular press interview with Governor Izumida, at Niigata prefectural government office on December 26, 2012

Partial excerpt (on nuclear plant-related problems)

Q:
With regard to nuclear power plants, would you tell us what you are going to urge the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) to do, considering the present situation, if any?

A: Governor
I have already submitted to the NRA a questionnaire on how to tackle challenges after taking into consideration the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident.
I want a quick reply from the Authority.
I think nobody will believe any nuclear safety standards set by the Authority without answering the questionnaire.
As I have often said, it is doubtful whether they can really develop measures against nuclear disasters without members having knowledge of local administration.  Niigata prefectural government had directly accepted evacuees from Fukushima prefecture and had exchanged information with TEPCO.  However, NRA has not yet answered our questionnaire for many months.

In spite of that, NRA suddenly says that it is going to develop nuclear safety standards.  We cannot believe the Authority.  We are matter-of-factly urging it to quickly answer the questionnaire, worrying about possible establishment of meaningless safety standards.

Partial excerpt (on control of radiation materials contained in disaster debris)

Q:
I’d like to ask you about radioactivity control issue and other issues associated with it.

A: Governor

With regard to radioactivity control, the central government is relaxing it now for the reason of the time of the accident.  This is the reason why it is accepted to have environmental contamination more severe than that of the inside of nuclear power plant.  It is likely that a relaxed standard at the time of the accident may reflect their way of thinking; no need to worry about some effects.

I wonder until when they will continue this sort of thing.
“First of all, why do they rigidly control the radioactivity level at the inside of nuclear power plant?”

Additionally, the other day designation as specific evacuation recommended spots was cancelled.  This may be because radioactivity of the spots was lower than 20 msV per year.  Incidentally, an area with radioactivity of more than 5 msV per year is called radiation control area.  It is stipulated in the Industry Health and Safety Law that minors should not work in such areas.

So, why can they cancel such designation when lower than 20 msV?  In a word, if a baby should be in an area with radiation dose of between 5 msV and 20 msV, would they stop supporting his/her parents though the parents have to live in area where they are now allowed to work under the Law.

I cannot understand the current standards.

Q:
The government is discussing with five cities about how to dispose of incinerated ash.  As a solution, for example, is it possible to ask TEPCO to accept it?

A: Governor
I think TEPCO should do so.

This is because there are professionals who know how to control radioactive materials in a nuclear power plant.
Municipalities have no such experts.

In fact, it is the utility firms operating nuclear power plants that can professionally keep away radioactive materials from the environment and control them so that they will never harm human body.  Therefore, I think it is natural that they should control the materials.

Q:
You say that it is not an issue of disaster debris but an issue of radioactivity control.  With regard to radioactive materials contained in garbage dumped from the prefecture, you are against burying it with radioactivity of less than 100 Bq.

A: Governor
They should make their best effort to control garbage with high radioactivity.  As a rule, it is against the basic principles to scatter garbage after diluting its concentration.  I think we should use our wisdom to assemble garbage in one place as much as possible to keep away from human society.

Just as I thought, technology to cope with radiation has already been granted.  People in Fukushima, the earth may be revived, which we had no hope for.

Keshe Foundation: Waiting to hear from Japanese government to which the Foundation has already provided technology to cope with radiation #Nuclear Power Plant #Fukushima

Released: February 8, 2013
Help us caption and translate this video on Amara.org:

On November 2, 2012, the Keshe Foundation provided to the Japanese government applied technology to stop proliferation of radiation.  The rest is entirely dependent on how the Japanese government responds to it.  The Foundation also provided a technology which will enable radiation contamination in the future.

Without going a long way around, should we give top priority to promoting the technology provided by the Keshe Foundation in a movement for denuclearization and protection of people in Fukushima?  People interested in spirituality, should you focus your efforts on putting the technology into practical use for rebirth of the earth from Fukushima, Japan just now?

Let’s tell acquainted Diet members and local assembly members that the Keshe Foundation provided to the Japanese government the technology with which we can cope with radiation and yet it is a technology whose availability has been proved, and make an appeal everywhere to immediately put it into practical use.

If the government has received the technology and yet left it unused, it might apparently be called a criminal act against this planet.

I wish Japanese people to disparately improve your radiation-related contamination skills in cooperation with the Keshe Foundation and to show enthusiasm for contribution to global radiation contamination.  (I hear that radiation contamination in Sellafield, UK is also quite serious, which nobody speaks of.  I also hear that radiation contamination has spread to India.)

You can hear only the voice of Mr. Keshe because another video camera with which Mr. Keshe was filmed didn’t work well.  I have found the part where he talks about provision of technology to the Japanese government and I would like to hasten to upload the part alone.

Technology was provided on November 2, 2012.  Three months have already passed.  Everybody, let’s have the government promote to implement the technology through every means we can.  This is the only way, isn’t it?  In particular, people interested in spirituality!  I guess that this is a kind of “disclosure.”  Don’t be misled by such ideas that money will come or a savior will come.  There is a future we can create now.  Please remember that we are the savior of this planet.
