This is "socializing the cost" to the extreme.

From Sankei Shinbun (9/17/2011):

Japanese media is printing that the leaves have contained all of the radiation from the tree.

I am completely finished with buying ANYTHING from Japan. Japan, to me, is finished. I cannot trust the government of this country to do anything right or tell the truth so I will, as painful as it is for me with my Japanese heritage, no longer have anything to do with it. If people of Japan cannot stop this by standing up to their corrupt government then they are truly finished. This is a sad era for Japan in history and the traitors have made themselves known.

The best part is, Japanese politics has always worked this way. Except now everyone's watching. Enjoy!

Do people not understand radioactive timber from their forests would turn into radioactive wooden products for themselves? Can't believe it.
Dear blog's owner, there's a mistyping after
"From Sankei Shinbun (9/17/2011)" - there should be "chairman". Thou your neologism is not bad at all. ==Elena==

Anyone with any sense should pull out of japan now.
The contractors want every yen they can get, and the
government wants to pretend everything is fine.

Better build houses using concrete… errr.

@elena, thank you. LOLOLOL

@anon at 1:09AM, concrete may be mixed with radioactive ashes from sewer sludge plants. Lose-lose situation.

I'm thinking a 50 mile radius planted with non indigenous Conifers,Araucaria araucana offers a useful addition to the afforesters arsenal,though not the Bunya-Bunya pine.

Cunninghamia Lanceolata is another,uses could be restricted exclusively to coffins and charnel houses.

The 50 mile exclusion zone could be forcibly leased in perpetuity from the refugees by the Japanese government for afforetation.

This socialises the financial cost and reduces the spread of materials hazardous to the Japanese.

I break it down further,planting begins fifty miles out and then your radioactive sludges and burnings are stabilised as a concrete wall a few miles in as the geology dictates,planting continue over many years heading further towards the source.

This provides a means of containment and enterprise,it's the sane thing to do.

"The best part is, Japanese politics has always worked this way."

Precisely! Many years ago we read Van Wolferen's "The Enigma of Japanese Power" and tut-tutted at dysfunction and corruption in the system but for the most part didn't give much further thought because it didn't seem to affect us directly.

Well, with Fukushima the dysfunction and corruption have become something of a matter of life and death and, as EX-SKF so ably relays day in and day out, the response of the system has been: more of the same.

This is what has driven me to give up on Japan. If the powers that be here had responded to the Fukushima catastrophe in a manner that indicated some awareness of the problems that caused it and an ability to learn from them there would have been cause to hopeful about Japan's future. As it is, perhaps not.

I agree but the issue here is that all this events are affecting to other nations and citizens who used to live there and move out too.

Remember that Japanese Government when the Americans got to Okinawa in WWII, they told they own citizens to commit suicide better than to get captured... and family fathers obey this orders and ask their own sons to kill themselves.

This history has been erased from textbooks and ellite do not consent to talk about it...even do their own citizens remember all about this.
History is repeating itself

Japanese people hide very well under they KATA, to those who do not know them.

In it sounds like the ellite want to clean up they own race as hitler wanted to do...

The guy is looking out of his window,kinda half expecting but also half dissapointed that so far Mosura has not shown up to do battle with the Atomic brained Tepco machine monster that is currently gobbling up Tyvec boil in the bag offerings and beaming mind control waves at TV comfort women.

Parodies in blowing bubbles, parody in regulation now need to measure radioactivity, parodies in morality now "Don't you want to help the victims of the accident?" .

All folded into 'Why do you still trust the govt.? It is because of them we do what we do.'. 'Don't you feel guilty because of what we do?'.

If Mosura is busy elsewhere, then all the people better just rise up and retire this govt themselves.

Rather than wait so long they aren't healthy enough to do it, citizens should weed out the corporate/govt psychopaths:

move the culprits out of their mansions in safer areas, and move the nuclear refugees in.

TEPCO and all the past/present in govt who supported nuclear plants, and, this year's Radiation Coverup minions (like, those school administrators !!) can hand over their bank accounts and go live onsite.

You said it, kintaman:
"If people of Japan cannot stop this by standing up to their corrupt government then they are truly finished."

What a waste of a land, and of future generations' health.

Meanwhile, the whole Northern Hemisphere is getting more and more fallout and bioaccumulation; spreading the harm to everyone.

And the burning of radioactive debris. Somebody on enews said Neptunium was in the rainwater in Maryland, east coast U.S.

And yes, Danse Macabre, they do it.

these madmen,these lunatics seem so normal in cheap corporate suits..
one gets the feeling they have already organized,new homes in one of the chinese ghost cities.
if Seiji Maehara stays come the day of judgment i hope he and his like will be torn apart.

In your article pic Seiji looks like he just got wind of a stray anonymous fart.

Marc Sheffner said...

Laprimavera, do you think Maehara and his ilk really want to spread radioactivity around Japan? If not, how do you think they justify (to themselves) what they are saying?

It seems that all the elites are seriously out of touch with reality. Seriously: Kan helicoptering around Fukushima, breathing in the radioactive fumes; the head of TEPCO "apologizing" by saying "sorry, we've damaged our image and lost your trust, but don't worry, we'll soon put it right with a massive PR campaign!" They are like kids who've watched too much TV and just cannot grasp the severity of the situation.

As someone commented here earlier, perhaps this is how Japanese politics have always been, only now it's all out on public view. It's a seriously disturbing sight.

The Japanese philosophy is that a shared burden is a lighter burden for everyone. In the West, a shared burden is extending misery to more people.

If this was a virus outbreak, Fukushima pref. probably would have been isolated and cut off from the rest of country rigorously to avoid spreading the disease. Rationally speaking, this also needed to be done here. Nothing goes out, total quarantine except for people wanting to migrate. No goods.

Politically impossible.
