Real Life Japan 11: Lonely Walk and Shrine

火曜日, 1月 3rd, 2012

Transcript: This is the view from outside my prison cell. Today is January 1st 2012. And here in Kobe, Japan I am all alone beacause most of my Japanese friends, all of my Japanese friends want to spend the day with their families. And that leaves me alone, so I’m going to go out and go on a walk since it’s nice and sunny out. And I want to go to the shrine. Although I’m not really religious… I guess I am a little bit Buddhist I guess. I kind of like Buddhism. I’m going to go visit the shrine just to enjoy the ambiance. I wanted to show you something here. This is my jacket. Somebody gave me this jacket about 14 years ago and that person who gave me this jacket worked at Fed Ex, so this is like a Fed Ex jacket and I just took off the label. Since the jacket is really old the zipper fell off and I just used a paper clip in place of the zipper that fell off. This jacket might be the reason why I’m not so popular with women. And actually, I’d like to buy a really nice… You know, sometimes when I’m speaking in English I’m actually thinking in Japanese. . . I want to buy a really nice dressy jacket. But the thing is I keep telling myself that I’m going to move to Thailand and I’m not going to need a jacket, so why waste 200 dollars on a jacket. So anyways, that’s my jacket zipper. I’m here at Hat Kobe. It’s a pier near central Kobe. Yesterday was December 31st. I didn’t go out of my house all day yesterday, so it’s nice to come out here and go on a walk. Ah, I just feel

In Loving Memory of Kate Finlayson

日曜日, 1月 1st, 2012

Kathryn “Kate” Finlayson passed away on November 27, 2010, following a long battle with complications of hydrocephalus. She was 26 years old. Kate was born severely prematurely in Boston, Massachusetts, and suffered a major stroke with multiple other complications from which she was not expected to survive. She overcame her early illnesses, however, to enjoy a lively and happy childhood with her brothers Peter and Sam, whom she adored with all her heart. Kate’s early years in Bethesda, Maryland were filled with enthusiasm, adventure, writing, and a tremendous love of literature and the Scriptures. Kate developed dear and lasting friendships with classmates and teachers at the Norwood School, as well as fellow members of the Little Falls Swim Team where she spent joyful summers playing, training, and competing. Although she at first took up swimming to strengthen muscles that had been weakened by her neonatal stroke, with time, wonderful coaching, hard work and determination she developed into a surprisingly strong competitor. Some of the records she set still stand 18 years later. Kate also loved family time spent visiting her grandparents’ summer cottage on Lake Owassa in New Jersey, where she learned to fish and water ski, and enjoyed canoeing, catching turtles, collecting leaves and flowers, chasing lightning bugs, thunderstorms, and evenings on the still, calm waters with her mother. After moving to Tokyo with her family, Kate attended upper elementary and middle

Paul Joseph Watson www.infowars.com www.prisonplant.tv www.infowars.net www.prisonplanet.com March 25, 2011 While the mass media has all but dropped its interest in the Fukushima crisis to focus on Libya and meaningless side-issues like the death of Elizabeth Taylor, the nuclear nightmare only worsens, as Japanese authorities admit that reactor number 3, which is the only reactor to contain MOX plutonium, is now leaking. “Japan’s nuclear regulator said one reactor core at the quake-damaged Fukushima Dai-Ichi power plant may be cracked and leaking radiation,” reports Bloomberg. “It’s very possible that there has been some kind of leak at the No. 3 reactor,” Hidehiko Nishiyama, a spokesman at the Japan Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said in Tokyo today. While radioactive water at the unit most likely escaped from the reactor core, it also could have originated from spent fuel pools stored atop the reactor, he said.” The water now leaking from reactor number 3 has radiation levels 10000 times above the level of normal reactor water. Yesterday, two Fukushima technicians received instant radioactive burns when they stepped in the puddle of water, as it burned right through their boots. The leakage of plutonium and uranium from reactor number 3 is the nightmare scenario that many experts predicted would turn the situation at Fukushima from a crisis to a catastrophe. The dire consequences of any major leak in reactor number 3 are exemplified by the fact that 4000 tons of

Japanese jr. high radiation education: Science education or brainwashing?

土曜日, 10月 1st, 2011

The Japanese Science and Education Ministry (MEXT), is mandating a new curriculum which includes radiation education to be taught at schools across Japan. MEXT doesn’t only mandate education standards, they define specific material and teaching techniques in many cases. This video analyzes the new radiation education curriculum. This is the same ministry that is responsible for setting some of the sky-high radiation “safety” standards with regards to the Fukushima disaster. This curriculum is aimed at junior high school and is thus compulsory education that all children in Japan will receive. Japanese junior high school is grades 8-10. Links and references: Japanese Science and Education Ministry courses of study.

Activities A special project code-named Maruta used human beings for experiments. Test subjects were gathered from the surrounding population and were sometimes referred to euphemistically as “logs” (丸太, maruta?).[11] This term originated as a joke on the part of the staff because the official cover story for the facility given to the local authorities was that it was a lumber mill.[12] The test subjects were selected to give a wide cross section of the population and included common criminals, captured bandits and anti-Japanese partisans, political prisoners, and also people rounded up by the Kempetai for alleged “suspicious activities”. They included infants, the elderly, and pregnant women. Vivisection Prisoners of war were subjected to vivisection without anesthesia.[11][13] Vivisections were performed on prisoners after infecting them with various diseases. Scientists performed invasive surgery on prisoners, removing organs to study the effects of disease on the human body. These were conducted while the patients were alive because it was feared that the decomposition process would affect the results.[11][14] The infected and vivisected prisoners included men, women, children, and infants.[15] Prisoners had limbs amputated in order to study blood loss.[11] Those limbs that were removed were sometimes re-attached to the opposite sides of the body.[11] Some prisoners’ limbs were frozen and amputated, while others had limbs frozen then thawed to study the effects of
