Aleksey Yaroshevsky, RT reporter, Dec. 25, 2013 (at :30 in): “The port of Soma [~45 km from Fukushima Daiichi], despite being just a few km from areas […] contaminated by radiation, seafood of all shapes and sizes lands here several times a day. […] There are serious concerns now — this particular catch was made in the waters of the Fukushima nuclear power station.”
Yamashike Yosuke, Environmental Engineering Professor at Kyoto University, Dec. 25, 2013: “There is significant contamination in the bottom sediment, especially in the pond and the river system, that we can find at very, very high concentrations of radioactive cesium accumulated.”
Akihisa Sato, laboratory worker, Dec. 25, 2013: “We’re taking samples from every catch we make and if we ever find even the slightest trace of radiation, we’ll destroy the whole catch. So far there has been none. This fish is safe.”
Youshimi Hitosugi, Tepco spokesman, Dec. 25, 2013: “The situation is pretty much under control. We’ve built fences not to let polluted groundwaters leak into the ocean.”
Hirokai Kurosaki, economist, Dec. 25, 2013: “Most of the fish caught within the 30 kilometer radius is thrown into the garbage, because it is radiated. And Tepco is paying to local fishermen for it, so they’re happy and keep silent. Some of it though makes it to stores, but only locally.”
Meanwhile, to take the world’s eyes off the nuclear murder they are committing, they are re-arming. Japanese are one of the most vicious and sadistic killers in today’s world. One need only look at their history from 1905-present to see it.
If Obama is truly encouraging them to arm against China, Obama is setting the US up for failure. The US needs to rebuild its economy, educational system and people…..not get involved in more corporate enriching wars.
