Japanese Mayor, Disgusted With The Government's Crisis Response, Appeals For Help To The Entire World

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The mayor of Minami Soma city, located 25 km away from the Fukushima plant, had decided to bypass the traditional channels in requesting assistance out of disgust and frustration with the government's handling of the disaster, and instead is appealing to the entire world via this soon to be viral video clip which was recorded over a week ago but is only now making the rounds. In the clip, mayor Katsunobu Sakurai says: "We are left to ourselves... we risk dying of hunger." Minami Soma, once a city of over 70,000 and which may now be down to as little 20,000, is asking for volunteers to do what the Japanese government refuses to do: namely to help those most in need of if not help, then at least potentially life-saving information. The mayor expresses his disappointment at the lack of support from the central government for the city’s remaining residents, and accuses the government of not providing sufficient information to help in the decision making process. Making things worse is that the remaining citizens, many of whom who are trying to evacuate, are unable to do so as there is no gas or means for transportation. Unfortunately, by the time the Japanese crisis is done, cities like Minami Soma, far beyond the 20 km evacuation zone, will be nothing more than ghost towns. And while we have already seen a few minor attempts at popular backlash against TEPCO and the government, the general population may soon be reaching a tipping point of discontent. Will Fukushima be the straw that breaks the traditionally peaceful Japanese population's back into an expression of violent disagreement with the government's handling of the consequences of the March 11 earthquake, which for now can only be classified as deplorable?

If everyone in the USA of did not go to their jobs for one week until this situation was addressed shit would change quick.  Sheeple don't do that though.   They are too drunk and busy with their own individual lives who they believe are unaffected by the rest of the world.  Sad truth.   Who can anyone trust at this point?  I don't trust anyone at all except the damn dog.  Dog don't know how to lie.

You really think so, when folks in the US wouldn't do this to stop their govt from waltzing all over the middle east dropping bombs on people?  A situation wholy constructed by the US?

No, this is a moment for the Japanese to confront themselves, to rise up kick the authoritarian habit (just as US citizens need to do).  Asking enslaved people to free others isn't meaningful...

If you truly are a political atheist, then I say "bravo".  What makes me slightly suspicious of your closet partisanship is the fact that you would point to the Neo Cons as the guilty party for the pending U.S. invasion of Libya - when a Secular Progressive is at the helm??!!  Unless of course you are insinuating that Neo Cons are always in control - even under a Secular Progressive administration?

I think this is a perfect presentation to the world that you should never thrust your governments when they talk safety.

When they will all die, they will be the marterers of proof you should take care of your own and don't expect others to take care of you.

Katrina did that.

Before that, almost everybody in the world believed that America and especially it's government was so efficient and well prepared that it wouldn't be a real problem.

When they showed to the world that the speed that help got to the people was not more faster than whatever a 3rd world country would do, that believe melted away like snow in the sun.

9/11 also showed they wheren't prepared and well organised like everybody thought.

 

Each time, everybody got to see the weak spots in the Empire. And now a decade later, those weak spots are so massive that just plain damage control consumes all of the resources. And still, everything keeps getting worse.

Like they said: The day that Rome realised that it couldn't maintain it's roads anymore, it was doomed.

Here is the good ole USA we have much the opposite: control freaks and bullies from three-letter and four-letter agencies with unlimited government funding and firepower who, first and foremost, need to disarm everyone and lock everything down a la Katrina.  Anyone showing up with free donated bottled water, for example, gets turned away.  Remember?

Yeah, I remember.

I also remember people trying to evacuate the city post-disaster on foot being stopped by local law enforcement on a bridge and being threatened with guns when they tried to advance.

They were hungry and thirsty [because LE wouldn't let that donated water through.]

Some of those people were shot and killed also. This is that multiplied by a whole lot. I remember watching a news story about a car dealer from Virginia who loaded up a few Ford F150's with fuel, chainsaws, etc. and drove to a small town in Miss and just gave it all to the Fire Dept. guy who was simply floored as there was nothing left of his little town. The guy from Virginia just went in blindly and absolutely did not even want to talk to the news. He said he felt helpless and it was killing him. Those who are currently in control are failing miserably at said control. They have actually already lost control but most of us sitting at our computers don't even believe it yet. The controllers know they lost control. We don't. We are all sitting in our houses and one major electricity outage from disaster unless we are Amish or something like it. All of Us. A very fragile way to live if you ask me. I have to go throw up now.

Make sure to rinse when you're done.

You may be surprised to know that many are prepared.  If you're not, then it may be a good time to start getting on it... no time like the present.  Start with water and food, and move on down the list from there.  You can choose to be that guy from Virginia if you set yourself to it.

Please do not use "infowars" or Alex Jones as a source. He is a paid disinformation schill. It is well known. Anyone who is fear-mongering is such. Easy to spot. Reality is harsh but don't be scared of it. Deal with it. Address it. Please don't link to his crap. No one has the real information on this. Not even Tepco.

Perhaps people don't have the time to waste on the NWO?  I've made this argument for years and I'm sticking to it: the NWO couldn't take over the conplete globe because they don't have the energy to do so; BAD SYSTEMS FAIL, and BIG BAD SYSTEMS FAIL BADLY!

That there are social engineers in the world is hardly anything of a conspiracy.

Thanks for the patience mam, I appreciate nice women for a change, they are a wee bit tuff to find soft women floatin round boat out here in middle of sea weed.

Out in the air please notice that on especially thunderous rain storms, that a huge white hot arc of pure 100% grade AAAA (quad A) bonded and insured gigantic bolts of electricity eminates with a velocity of 140,000 MPH and temp of 54,000 degrees.

There are 16,000,000 or 1.6 X 10^7 lightning bolts hitting ground a year on planet.

The APP or Average Peak Power of a single lightning bolt is 1 Terawatt or 10^12 Watts = 1,000,000,000,000 Watts.

So we multiply Watts X Strikes per year to get total watts per year which is:

(1.6 X 10^7) X (1 X 10^12) = 1.6 X 10^19 = 16,000,000,000,000,000,000 watts per year.

Then we get hours in a year which is 24 X 365 = 8760.

Now divide year into annual wattage to get Watts Per Hour or Watt Hours:

1.6 X10^19 / 8.760 X 10^3 = 1.826 X 10^15 + 1,826,000,000,000,000

Soooooo we have over our heads 1.8 MILLION GIGAWATTS AN HOUR hitting earth and we use exactly ZERO WATTS of this energy?

ATFC (are they fukin crazy) or are we for letting them do this to us?

Tesla figured out how to harness atmospheric electricity instead of trying to reinvent the lightbulb by using stupid generators to create electricity that was sitting right over our heads the entire time.

If UFO's were smart, they would not carry O2 and Hydrozine, they would just use the juice floating in the air around them!

Last fucker to tap this energy was Tesla and he got sued to shit by JP Morgan who financed Oil Men and was huge Oil Co Shareholder. Doooh...

Previous fuker to tap energy was Ben Franky the real man, who made piss ants at HomoLand Insecurity look like fags... go fig.

YEA I AM CALLING "BUUUUUUUULSHIIIIIIIIIIT" ON THIS MYTH FOLKS! 1.8 MIL GIGA WATT HOURS PER HOUR? FUCK THAT WOULD POWER A PLANET THE SIZE OF FUKIN JUPITER IN REAL TIME!!

Tesla had a high tower with a huge coil on top that tapped this power and pumped so much power into the grid it blew out power gens at the main station which was teathered to Teslas tower. The tower worked so well it overloaded the grid and Tesla had to fix the power co's gens for free, but he was good at windin' motor coils so 'hey no problemo senior' and in a few days he was back at it. Till JP Morgan heard what he was up to givin free power away...

Besides, if you add up all the energy it took to make the fuel rods at Fuksushimi and then add up all the energy it takes to clean up the mess, plus all the energy wasted creating all the food and water that has to be thrown away contaminated by Fuksushimi, plust you add up all the energy it took to power all the TV news stations to broadcast to the world the disaster at Fuksushimi, plus add up all the power need to run TV sets so sheep can see the Fuksushimi on TV, then I bet it exceeds the total power produced as usable watts ever generated at Fuksushimi.

Oh and you fuking Einstein, then he helped nuke the world so yea Trolls are too smart eh? Or just a mafia that steals others' shit and then owns the TV station so they can rewrite history and say they invented E=mc2.

You fuckers are worse thieves than the bloody Yakuza cause first you rob us and then you put up TV News that says we robbed your bank for 10 grand with a UZI made by Israeli Trolls of course.

I was tought calculus out of college text books in high school and takin college courses while still in HS. whats your excuse?

TV and film is generally 28 frames per second or 28 Hertz. The brain is 8 to 10 Hertz so average is 9 Hertz. there fore 28 / 9 = ~3 fuck dumb ass ignorant loud mouth rich bitch!

Tesla WAS THE FUKIN' INVENTOR OF RADIO TROLL NAZI - THE US SUPREME COURT RULED THIS AND SAID MARCONI STOLE THE IDEA FROM THE POOR CROAT-SERBIAN.

Was Marconi trollish? Does E=mc2 ?  do 1+1= ~2 ?

:)

Every single major Industrial Revolution cornerstone in Electricity and Magnetism was invented by Tesla you moocher:

  1. AC Electricity Tesla Invented to Tom Edison's horror and arguement since it made Edison look like a hobbiest.
  2. Brushless Electric Motors. Edison only had US powered on DC brushed motors that always needed new brushes. Oh and DC cannot be sent more than one mile by wire before it looses all power!!!
  3. Radio. No Marconi was sued and the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tesla Invented THE RADIO!!!
  4. FREE ELECTRICITY: Tesla had a huge tower and a big copper coil on it that could pull electricity out of thin air. It blew the westinghouse generators at the main power co's gen houses. Tesla had to go rewind all the copper in the gens. But since Tesla invented the AC gens in the first place, he had little trouble complying.
  5. NEON Lights
  6. RADAR
  7. Vacuume Tubes
  8. TV Tubes
  9. ROBOTS
  10. and 'drum roll' the infamous Number Ten is actually his most important: THE TESLA COIL!!!!!! HELL EVERY CAR IN THE WORLD USES HIS TESLA COIL TO FIRE THE PLUGS. Except of course for a diesel which only uses a glow plug and only at startup until diesel ignition occurs due merely to heat and compression mixed with of course fuel and oxygen.

Well to be fair it would need the approval of the shareholders of said type of companies including cruise ship lines, etc. to go in and help.

Save yourselves.

1. Walk away now. Carry only food.

2. At 50 kilometers from Fukushima, ask for help.

All governments lie. Trust yourselves.

I watch the video in full. Every offical i've known (even through pleasant company) were evil, nasty, vicious and petty.  Pulling on heart strings is a politicians way sacrificing you and not them.

Maybe im just jaded but if a politician or officer wants something from you make sure you see them bleed first. I want a pound of flesh first. Then we can hold hands and sing kumbaya.

Issue gold or silver back bonds you'll get your aid. .5%/.75% interest should do. 

So before you throw away your life or money make sure you get something in return.  Blood and flesh from his ass should do. Ask him if hes willing to shave a pound of his own ass, first.

Harsh maybe. But you dont get to be major by playing nice and frendly games.

This is so un-Japanese, because the Japs are NOT supposed to seek help from fucking inferior Gaijin even if their own are fucking them in the face. Guess they never heard, The ten most dangerous words in the English language are "Hi, I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."

Pappy bailed with at least one crewmember still in the plane. This CIA plant then took over for the Alzheimer 20 Mule Team Borax Boy and steered Iran-Contra.

Then after the FICA was raised from 4% to 6%, he skimmed the extra 2% destined for Social Security, and labeled it "General Revenue" A stealth tax.

And his Daddy financed the Nazis until forced to stop in 1942.

Now jumping out of planes again, not by himself, but riding on a Golden Knight. Most Impressive.

Then they roll out their wimmen, with the Bar Bash of Palin.

Now they are prepping us for Jeb. Why? He doesn't want it.

Its interesting how generational differences come up.  My Dad just can't muster sympathy for the Japs - his reflections, studies, and memories of their depth of cruelty - really, really sick shit, during WWII will not allow him to feel.  Not to mention their wicked trade practices and outright theft of US secrets (like submarine propulsion hydrodynamics) seal the deal.  My generation just wonders how to trade this.  Pretty bad either way I guess.

My guess is that BoJ will unload foreign holdings. 800B in U.S. treasuries alone. The dollar will spike on the sell off and then plumett.

Opportunity presents itself. Instead of lying bs gov't/corporate a'holes jerking everyone's chain, people reaching out helping others in time of need whether it be japan, new orleans, or christchurch; $64 question is how to make a new world order of and for the people of the world instead of this backstabbing pos system that's in place now. Any ideas on how to bring this thing together for everybody instead of this gas pedal to the floor on an imminent impact with a brick wall that we're currently on? (Pardon; midstream on a white russian so possibly may seem like I'm on a rant, or something). :-)

LINES FRAUGHT WITH NAUGHT BUT THOUGHT

If you thirst to know who said, "I think, therefore I am,"
your thirst I will quench;
It was Rene Descartes, only what he actually said was,
"Je pense, donc je suis," because he was French.
He also said in Latin, "Cogito, Ergo sum,"
Just to show that he was a man of culture and not a tennis tramp
or a crackle barrel philosophy bum.

Descartes was one of those who think, therefore they are,
Because those who do not  think, but are anyhow, outnumber them by far.
If of chaos we are on the brink
It is because so many people think that they think.
In truth, of anything other than thinking they are fonder.

Because thought requires the time and effort to reflect, cogitate,
contemplate, meditate, ruminate and ponder.
Their minds are exposed to events and ideas but they have
never pondered or reflected on them
Any more than motion picture screens meditate on the images that
are projected on them.

Hence our universal confusion.
The result of the unreasoned, or jumped at, conclusion.
People who think that they think, they secretly think that
thinking is grim.
And they excuse themselves with signs reading THIMK, or, as
Descartes would have said, PEMSEZ, and THINK or THWIM.

Instead of thoughts, they act on hunches and inklings,
Which are not thoughts at all, only thinklings.
Can it be because we leave to the Russians such dull pursuits as
thinking that the red star continues to twinkle so?
I thinkle so.  Ogden Nash
