Caught On Tape: Massive Explosion At US Weapons Depot In Japan
Explosions and implosions have become an everyday occurrence of late in Asia.
Midway through the month the explosion of carry trades stemming from China’s devaluation of the yuan resulted in an untold number of "casualties" (figuratively speaking). Two days later, a tragic explosion at the Chinese port of Tianjin took the lives of 121 people and injured over 700 more. Next, Sakurajima threatened to erupt in Japan triggering fears of a nuclear meltdown at Sendai. Then, the Malaysian ringgit imploded along with trade in Indonesia and finally, on Saturday, a second chemical explosion rocked China killing one worker at a plant in Shandong.
On Sunday we got another fiery blast from the East, this time emanating from a US Military Base near Sagamihara, Japan. This is from Fox:
An explosion has been reported at the U.S. military facility in Sagamihara, Japan, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports, citing the Japanese Broadcasting Corporation.
Sagamihara is a city in the Japanese prefecture of Kanagawa, which borders Tokyo.
"Fire from the American military base has occurred," the Sagamihara Fire Department said, according to JBC.
The Sagami General Depot houses storage for petroleum products and ammunition.
Video and photos on began streaming in from social media shortly after Noon (EST), showing a large explosion, several loud booms, sustained flames and billowing smoke rising from a structure. No injuries have been reported.

Wow.. I was joking the other day when the huge Tianamin explosion went off and I said "the currency wars just got real".
Kinda makes you wonder.
Why has the US got a military base in Japan? Is isn't a US state or is it?
No matter the cause, such things indicate systematic instability.
A friend of mine back in the 80s was telling me that the Russians had lasers they were using to burn holes in Chinese tanks from 100 miles away during tensions in that era.
Yes, the Russians had lasers, but they certainly didn't "burn holes in Chinese tanks from 100 miles away".
The Russian lasers only TRIED to disable some optical sensors, and range was a few miles.
Hughes had one back then that would take out a Harpoon ASM in flight at 5 miles effortlessly and would punch through the side of an ICBM stage stressed to simulate launch stresses instantly. The 80's were a LONG time ago in terms of weapon systems development...
Very cool to see depleted uranium explode so in the magazine ....
hehe.
Notice the blue light in one of the explosions ....
I guess the big guns use depleted uranium, so that would be a US Tank or a US Aircraft.
I'm not sure who all has depleted uranium...
I don't think it is a good idea that humans have nuclear weapons.
Why not? We're such a rational and clear thinking species. We'd never misuse such weapons.
It would be much better if chimpanzees had the nuclear weapons.
They could never figure out how to make them go off.
Aliens are doing it, and are prepared to shoot nukes down if they have to. LOL. That's why we've built thousands of missles, because there's only 3 flying saucers.
"Smell that Randy?". "What Mr. Layheigh?" "It's a shit storm, and it's headed this way!".
Of course you realise, this means WAR.
I wouldn't say that. Investigations and Public Explanations can be very convincing.
After all that is how we got where we are today.
And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof throught the night, that the neocons were still there.
Time seems to be speeding up in the conspiracy world, it used to take years if not decades to see a conspiracy theory to be subtantiated and now it's just months or days even. Speaking of which, where is that Hedger that said that anyone that suspected sabotage was schizoid? lol
If the economy really does crash big time. There are going to be a lot more random explosions, leaks, poison gas clouds. We have already slacked off on regulations for safety of storage facilities. Then slacked off more on inspecting. Companies that run these facilities are cheating and scrimping.
After the economic crash a lot of these places are going to be completely ignored. The companies possibly bankrupt and gone. The governments too busy flailing about to care or do anything. Some of the stuff stranded in transit. Not even at a proper, even if decrepit storage facility. Even information as to it's whereabouts lost in the shuffle.
I enjoyed watching a show about how things would collapse, if all humans suddenly vanished. It was sobering to see how deadly wrong things go, when just left to idle. A lot of what was in the show might come true. But there will be humans around to suffer the consequences.
You enjoy this eh? During the great depression, nothing which you have stated occurred. Cooperation and sharing was the result. We are not animals living in a jungle. The jungle was created by those selling the weapons and overthrowing bank-unfriendly governments.
Blow Israel off the map and let's return to normal because nothing else is going to make a difference except, as you say, psyops, espionage and sabotage. TSA is there to allow the terrorists through borders without detection.
Enjoy it? Odd that you suppose that. I enjoyed the show I mentioned. Because it was very informative. The problems that will occur if there is a big economic meltdown, will not be due to the majority of people going nuts or violent. They will occur due to such a complex system going off the rails. There is so much out there that requires so much attention. It is already not being taken care of properly. It will get worse if there is a large breakdown in the system.
People will pull together. But they can't keep everything going in crisis situations. Enjoy it? No. I am aware of how bad it is, and how much worse it can become. That is why I mention it.
There are plenty of commenters on here who post glib one liners. I am trying to warn how economic failure can lead to other terrible failures. It isn't just money, violence or whatever. It can also be a lack of caretaking the dangerous things we accumulate.
So, in 2014 at the Jordan Weapons Expo for Demonstrations of Training, Weapons, and sales introductions, a Taiwanese, a South Korean ROK, a Japaneses SDF, and a Chinese walk into a bar...
They find a table to sit at so they can stretch their legs and shoulders as they sit there. They are all special operations troops at senior NCO level. They decide to order Rice wine and a fruit plate.
The Taiwanese and the Chinese look at each other for a while, but don't say anything since they aren't really supposed to have contact. The Japanese and the South Korean look at each other for a while, but don't say anything for the same reason.
After a while they have finished 3 bottles of rice wine and feel pretty good since they finished the demonstrations that they were assigned for this trip. Each one is worried about having face and looking strong. So they order another fruit plate and drink three more bottles of rice wine.
The all leave without really saying anything about business or anything personal. But they all feel okay about it since it was a dumb idea to go out drinking in this group and not be able to talk about anything.
They go back to the hotel for tv before they fall asleep.
The end. Somethings just don't make sense.
Let's bring home those "Buffalo Soldiers" who cannot restrain their propensity to smoke weed and pass out in the munition depot.
Or it was a meths lab little mishap. If police can do it, military can do it as well.
Have gun free zones been extended to removing the layers of security that would prevent this being something intentional?
Unless the weapons depot is nearby some of you may want to choose to focus less on the obvious and more on the less obvious. Just a humble suggestion.

Ok so now its clear, China`s chem plants were sabotaged by US and now China sabotaged US weapon depot in Japan - got it.
Accidents will happen... when you play with fire. IF this is an act of war, it illustrates that there is an attempt by the combatants at restraint by creating an environment of plausible deniability. The Intel agencies aren't going to talk... if we 'plebs' are to understand what is really going on we need to have this happen a few more times in the next week. bwahhhahahah, it is not as if the players are going to de-escalate the fun while the markets tank... this is going to be a memorable fall.
America was at war with China: therefore America had always been at war with China. The enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil, and it followed that any past or future agreement with him was impossible
Of course you realize this means WAR.

Quid pro quo... payback for the 2 recent events in China.

BTW, these are also typical of "early warnings" the predators-that-be give to signal the 0.0001% of the human race who is not totally braindead that... if they don't get the hell outta dodge (with a boatload of food and supplies) in the next week or two... they are toast.
PS: Yes, accidents do happen. And sometimes they clump up in time coincidentally. But when you get 3 in such a short time... not likely.
Several months ago, a Russian resupply rocket to the space station exploded.
A few months after that, a US satellite launch exploded.
A week ago, China has a large explosion.
Last night, the US has a large explosion at weapons depot in Japan.
Is someone playing tit-for-tat?
I'm not sure the Russian and SpaceX problems are related... but who knows.
But with what's going on with worldwide commodity collapse, worldwide economic collapse, widespread currency collapses (check the charts) and gold/silver/currency manipulations... these events are almost certainly part of wider "games".
PS: One very interesting "next move" might be a widespread demand by gold and silver future owners to TAKE DELIVERY.
Can you spell GAME OVER ???
Talk about rocket launches.
All the Russian rocket failures and SpaceX's had to do with Russia demonstrating to the West how dependent they are to Roscosmos to get to he ISS.
You may remember the rumor that circulated that the manned flight July 23 might not launch because of Roscosmos problems. In the midst of its dispute with the Western dwarves, Russia completely controls the ISS and with 3 of the six crew members Russian, if Moscow wants to disassemble the Russian segment from the western segment, well, no prob.
The three explosions since Aug 12 couldn't be more linked than George HB, George W, and Jeb.
honestan - re. COMEX futures queuing for delivery. Won't mean a thing. Look into one of Jon Corzine's greatest hits, Treasury Primary Dealer, MFGlobal (MFG) followed a few months later by PFG just to make the point absolutely clear. It won't collapse that way. You can't buy the COMEX directly. You have to go thru an agent or broker. When the House sees an event setting up that they don't like, they tip over the table by crashing the brokers.
So, yes, COMEX PM markets look completely bogus.
Collapse of the PetroDollar will set off some fireworks that Corzine and friends will have trouble keeping under control.
Yesterday my comment was that the Chinese 'tit' was not going to be immediate.
Shows you how much I know. Of course I was refering to the US homeland as the 'tit' site.
But Japan is an outstanding choice given the Japanese anger at the new Okinawa base relocation.
it's the "cunning" of the response that speaks volumes
hope you got plenty of popcorn

"Japan and Iran will start negotiations on an investment accord once sanctions are lifted following last month's landmark international deal on Tehran's nuclear program, the Nikkei reported on Wednesday, citing Japanese government sources."
"Japan is keen to boost ties with Iran and invest in resource projects in the country, as well as return imports of Iranian oil to about 10 percent of the total from 5 percent now after sanctions forced Japanese refiners to cut purchases, it said."
Samson option. Each and every time, an explosion takes place like clockwork.
OK let's make a list of every possible place in Asia that can blow up ...
and then cross things off as we read the News.
Damn. Who pissed off Taiwan?
Good work
& congratulations
