Translated by Dissensus Japan:
According to the news received yesterday, 6 evacuees out of 10 from a certain area of Namiecho who relocated themselves in Yonezawa died of acute symptoms (it was said leukemia), and that horrified the remaining evacuees. They presented this fact to the administration and medias, however, the media didn’t report it at all. They said they are scared of the government.
Local newspaper companies receive tons of frightening information, however, all are covered up. After the protest that took place in front of the PM’s residence, Tokyo Simbun expressed its regret to be not able to report it. Tokyo Simbun is a conscientious company. What are the other companies doing?
Extracted from Mailing List of Fukushima Nuclear Disaster complainant. This document represents the actual situation of Fukushima. Majority are aware of the ongoing crisis. Complete information control is being carried out. My little brother is a local journalist of Fukushima, and he told me the government keeps a tight lid on information and it frightens him.

Nothing new here. The US quit reporting the radiation levels on the West Coast after they exceeded safe levels. Then they raised the safe levels to protect the nuclear industry…GE. But then, GE owns most of the large news networks in the US or is partnered with corporation that own the rest. You will not get ‘news’ from the MSM. You get the latest Kardashian gossip or photos. Go back to sleep. Nothing that concerns you…

It does not make too much sense from the perspective of the state to create a panic. The damage is done anyway.

The disaster continues today with no end in sight. TEPCO is bankrupt and is now supported by the taxpayers of Japan. The spent fuel rod pools are now seen to be as dangerous as the reactors and the plans to deal with them will not resolve the problems for years.
This disaster has implications for the world. The close ties between the regulators, politicians and the nuclear industry need to be broken. There needs to be more independent reporting of the facts.
It is time to transition to safe, clean alternative energy sources. Wind, solar, wave energy and geothermal are much better options.

Arthur, it is the responsibility of a government to inform it’s citizens when they are in danger. The Fukushima event is not over, it is just beginning. I guess if a bomb blows up New York City, it is not the government’s job to tell the people still alive that the area is radioactive and they should get away? Just ignore it because it is too late to do anything about it?

BillT said: “The Fukushima event is not over.”
Bill you are correct.
I actually know someone who works in the nuke business, and I know he knows what’s really going on, but he was down playing the severity of the situation. I then mentioned, the increase in cancer due to the Fukushima event, he didn’t say anything. Says a lot.
