That she had NO idea about before she married him, I suppose.
Years of abuse? I don't see anywhere in the article anything that said she was chained in the house. She could have dumped the loser.
She 'snapped' my arse....most of these crimes by women are premeditated. This man took the drugs on his own, but in the majority of these cases you read that the women drugged the men and then attacked them, that's not 'snapping'. Two years he beats her and she doesn't leave?
There is no excuse to mutilate another human being. No one here would go along with it if it happened to their own son...

And follows the stories of two prostitutes encouraging their daughters into their line of work, and it's endemic? An 'adult fixation on pre-teen girls' is called 'pedophilia' and it's a mental disorder.

And that explains not being able to speak Japanese, how?
JapanGal, Mary isn't a god, but Mother of God. Christianity is monotheistic...in Catholicism there are saints but they aren't gods.

Thanks for pointing that out, buggerlugs, that's exactly what everyone was saying when the French judges were in Japan.

If it's a "conspiracy" it will be known soon enough if the levels at that spot don't go down.....

Watch the news, any channel, even use the little button on the remote to watch in English if you want!
paulinusa, facts? Since when do hard-core conspiracy theorists need of facts? They just need those conclusions they come to in their gut based on their feelings about something. Science and hard facts just aren't necessary!

Notthesame hospitals are required now to give you a detailed printout of your prescriptions, telling in detail what each pill is for. For whiplash, it was probably a muscle relaxant and a pain killer. Some people need them, as whiplash can be quite severe.

They pressure washed the street (which usually works) and still it wasn't lower.They brought the Geiger counter to the ground, and the reading was lower....up to 3 feet, much higher, higher than 3 feet, again low. Out 30 cm closer to the street, 0.3 millisieverts, much, much lower. The house is right up against the fence, and the fence is right against the sidewalk, not much space at all from the house to the street. By taking readings they gradually focused on the house, and then got permission to enter. The house is dilapidated, very old and hasn't been lived in a while.
Each of the bottles is emitting 30 microsieverts, surely enough to radiate out as far as the sidewalk, with the house being right on the street.

I think it's just a crappy translation, Farmboy. Lat night on the news they were sticking Geiger counters amongst the leaves at the fence.

Well, it's definitely not cesium....just watched the news, film of earlier today. Right up against the wall of the house, 1 meter off the ground, 6.70 micro sevierts per hour, 30 cm away at the same level, 0.3.....it also got no better after pressure washing the street, so they got permission to go into the house.
The bottles were in a wooden crate and 'covered with mud'. Probably been there for years. Lucky find! It's good they're out of the neighborhood. Be interesting to find out where they came from.
Exactly. Could be from a lab, as shanabelle mentioned. They've been sent to a facility to be analyzed.

40 minutes would be a godsend. How fast and how far you can go depends, of course, on how much debris is clogging the streets, fallen buildings, fires etc.

Check out HAARP on news sites or the HAARP site itself, not The Unhived Mind or some other conspiracy site.....
Too many people nowadays have too little science education. It's damned SAD. Radio waves causing earthquakes. Good God. Interestingly enough, resident ex-pat whackaloon Benjamin Fulford was shrieking about HAARP causing the Japan quake. When he found out it couldn't , he changed his tune to say that a row of nukes planted underwater was the source. Nukes, planted underwater, by agents of the Illuminati, undetected by radar, the Japan Coast Guard, US Navy and all the underwater sensors lining the coast (you can hear a recording of the quake online). Enough nukes to move the island 70 centimeters, this island should be a smoking hole in the seabed, but he has his loyal followers cheering him for 'exposing' the plot.
A whole lot of people need to get a grip.
Shit happens, people....earthquakes have been happening since the dawn of time.

Explain 8-9+ quakes before HAARP was invented, there were many in the 1800s in the central US on the New Madrid seismic zone, and in Alaska.....San Francisco, Japan...look up the earthquake history of the Tohoku area, Tokyo, Alaska, all available online. The strongest quake in recorded history in Brazil was in 1964.
