all Japanese parents or caregivers who bash and kill their kids use the same excuse. Why doesn't he tell the truth?

Yesterday on Yahoo news Japan there was an article that said 600,000 dead birds, 30,000 dead pigs and 3000 dead cows have been found dead in Fukushima. The article said the JP govt claimed the animals starved to death if you can believe that. I cannot find the same article anymore. It was pulled and nothing is being reported in the foreign media about it. Anyone still think the incident is not being downplayed?

Sell geiger counters and those nuclear umbrellas they sold back when the USA was wrecking havoc with mega bombs.
Posted in: Shoppers' appetite for spending is being restrained by a feeling that it is inappropriate when nearly 28,000 are dead or missing and more than 180,000 survivors huddle in shelters. What effect do you think this attitude will have on the economy this year and what is the best way to encourage people to start spending again?

On a molecular level the contaminated ocean water from both recent environmental disasters from BP and TEPCO evaporates and rises into the upper atmosphere to come back down in the rain, eventually contaminating every body ow water around the globe. What I would love to see is some Chinese democracy in dealing with the cheifs of these companies for killing our planet.

TEPCO is in charge of testing their own environmental contamination? Thats like asking Floyd Landers to do his own dope tesing and to submit his own results and that those results should be trusted.

As Smithy has said, I wonder how many people are in denial about this? You hear reports of radiactive half lives of 8 days and then reports of long term contamination thats not dangerous and then more incredibly reports of radioactive plutonium thats not dangerous unless you breath it in even though a lot of it is probably flooding into the ocean and more reports of reactors 5 and 6 needing to be unflooded where there were no problems before. It all seems to be smoke and mirrors from TEPCO and the JP Govt.

All this talk about how harmless it all is is only about maintaining control of the population. 100 million or so angry civillians is not a problem the JP govt wants to face thus they are kicking the fallout ball 10 years down the road for when the cancer victims start dropping.
Tell me why 25 other regions have banned Japanese foodstuffs if its harmless. I can say that the 25 other regions learned all about the harmless Japanese 100 years back and learned their lesson well.
Clearly the Japanese are all about understating the difficulties, problems, pollution, and scale of the fallout. I notice that they have conveniently stopped mentioning the harmless plutonium too. I wonder how much harmless radioactive plutomium is finding its way up the seafood chain and then into the mouths of children?
The troubles will go even further when the mislabelling kicks into high gear. Whats the bet mislabelled so called harmless radioactive milk and veg are already in circulation.

The Stress-Free Guide to Leaving Japan
I am leaving Sunday. Very unstressed. I have simple booked a ticket and packed a suitcase.

I met QE2 at the Christchurch Cathedral when I was 11 years old. I will never forget it. We had lunch together. It was the last time she went there. We are probably both remembering the same day right now.

Yes and what you don't see here is the firemen still dousing smouldering ruins. The people trapped there may have perished in oven like conditions.

I saw some footage and the Japanese were standing around while the CTV building with dogs and thermal cameras, while the NZ fire-fighters were still hosing down smouldering rubble. Heavy machinery was lifting off steel. The next caption showed the police unwrapping a body bag. It seems to me, just by the body language of the Japanese rescuers, that they have no expectation of life coming from the CTV building either. The alive that perished there may have perished in an earth oven.
