Japan is suffering through a horrendous series of back-to-back catastrophes that are starting to make the world question whether or not Japan will survive. I've been to Japan 25+ times. Japan is a great country. The Japanese are a great people. They will survive these catastrophes. However, they may not be able to survive their own brain dead politics which have: A.) Kept Japan in a rolling recession for 20 years because the politicians refuse to reform their financial system. B.) Torpedoed population growth by discouraging young women from marrying and having babies. (Only single women can really have careers in Japan, so many young women just don't get married and don't have kids.) As sad as it sounds, perhaps the Earthquake, Tsunami, and resulting nuclear challenges will wake Japan out of it's 20 year old slumber.

They won't survive... at least, not in the manner at which they were, before the disasters. I feel terrible for them... I have some VERY good friends there, and with the way things have been going, I don't honestly see this ending well for them. I've seen some commentary saying shit like "oh, this is Karma for Pearl Harbor." But any serious student of history knows the REAL story of Pearl, and everything else... There's a LOT of really good people there. They do NOT deserve this. Whether you like or hate the Japanese people, nobody deserves this kind of devastation, both physically and financially. Regards, Socialist ass-hats think "There will be no more money when the U.S. dollar has no value, until that time we can keep printing more." And yes, that IS from LF's answer to Ben Bernanke, go65, leading disfunctional and delusional socialist of the forum. "You want me to kill THE ENEMIES of Jappos, I'll kill THE ENEMIES of Jappos, Rebs, or Sioux, or Cheyenne... For 500 bucks a month I'll kill whoever you want. But keep one thing in mind: I'd happily kill you for free." Algren, "The Last Samurai" Like Libya and Oil and Obama. Except Obama never even mentioned the word 'oil'. jw mentioned 'nuclear' once. And not even 'reactors'. ce, not at all. Gee, what do they mean by considerably? It would have to decline to 1/3,355 th of what it is now in order to reach the legal limit. Do they mean the people will glow like a 40 watt bulb instead of a 60 watt bulb? The Truth has been Replaced with Silence. Because they've been lying from Day 1 and that ain't workin'. Even as the World doesn't need the USSA MSM to see what's happening. Nuclear power plants, world-wide Jan 13, 2011 ... As of Jan 19, 2011 in 30 countries 442 nuclear power plant units with an ...

New joke: How you can tell where the Fault Lines are: There's a nuclear reactor there. Japan reviewing option of covering nuclear reactors Japan is reviewing the possibility of completely covering the three damaged nuclear reactors at the Daiichi plant. It would be the first time anyone has tried to take such a measure. “Seawater near the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facility’s No.1 reactor contained radioactive iodine at 3,355 times the legal limit and a spokesperson for Japan’s Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said extraordinary measures must now be taken,” reports Xinhua.
More random thoughts. "“‘The (radiation) figures are rising further,’” said the agency’s deputy director-general, Hidehiko Nishiyama. “‘We need to find out as quickly as possible the cause and stop them from rising any higher.’” The president of Tokyo Electric Power company, which owns the plant, has been hospitalized with stress and fatigue, Japanese media report, and CNN carries an article about the “austere” living conditions at the plant.

Random Thoughts. This really is alot like the Blitzkrieg of Holland. And how the USSA MSM portrayed it. Via say Newsweek: news.yahoo.com/s/afp/2011...entnuclear_20110328175431 Every week the Allies were giving it to the Germans. Victory after Victory. But each week the 'Victories' came 25 Km closer to Le Manche and Dunkirk. ""The corium attacks the concrete, and starts to pierce it while at the same time creating potentially inflammable and explosive gas," Charles said. But if the corium is cooled with water, it is highly unlikely that it could melt through eight metres (26 feet) of concrete, he added. Even in an extreme scenario where there is enough corium to pierce the containment vessel, the molten matter will cool slowly as it hits the rock foundation under the nuclear reactor, according to IRSN experts. Water running over the corium would carry radioactive elements into the ocean. But the impact would still be a far cry from the volcanic blast of radioactive material thrown up into the air by the 1986 explosion at the Chernobyl reactor."
Uhhh....was it here that I said that we haven't heard from Onagawa, FU 2 since like Day 3 or something? FLASH: Smoke seen rising from ANOTHER nuclear power plant 10 km away — Fukushima Daini March 30th, 2011 at 06:35 AM enenews.com/smoke-seen-rising-fr ... hima-daini While Americans still don't even know what Corium means. And neither does google. You have to search Corium floor to get a hit. That'll change by the end of the day. :twisted: :twisted: :roll: :shock: 8-)
More Random Thoughts: Re: Nuclear Power Plant Crisis - Critical Post Wed Mar 30, 2011 8:58 am by mcgowanjm This is insane. Totally. No wonder the Fat SOB head of TEPCO checked himself back into hospital for 'fatigue'. Didn't he only return to work like two days ago? :lol: :lol: :twisted: :roll: :shock: :twisted: # # Smoke from Fukushima Daini no.1 reactor's turbine building has stopped - Kyodo about 3 hours ago via web # Smoke seen from Fukushima Daini No.1 reactor's turbine building - Jiji about 3 hours ago via web # Japan nuclear operator TEPCO: Chernobyl-style concrete encasement one option, no final decision yet about 6 hours ago via web # Japan nuclear operator TEPCO: will be difficult for evacuees from around plant to return home in next few weeks about 7 hours ago via web # Japan nuclear operator TEPCO: holding back no information on nuclear plant accident about 7 hours ago via web Polishing turds.
LMFAO Tokyo Electric Power Co. said smoke was detected at around 5:56 p.m. from a power distribution panel on the first floor of the turbine building at the reactor. The company, known as TEPCO, said it made a call to a local fire department. The Fukushima Daini plant is located about 10 kilometers from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi plant, and its four reactors have been stable in so-called ''cold shutdown'' after suspending operations following the quake. english.kyodonews.jp/news/2011/03/82065.html "The company, known as TEPCO, said it made a call to a local fire department." pLeaSe tell me they didn't do this. 8D mcgowanjm posted on [Today]
Twatwaffle Wrote: Booties ™ out, DERPCO Resin ™ in: Gov't to spray resin over debris at Fukushima plant The government plans to spray a water-soluble resin over debris at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant to prevent radiation leaks from spreading further, officials said Wednesday. FINALLY .... the russians did this immediately after Chernobyl, they called it "burba" www.say2.org/the-battle-of-chernobyl/23.htm The Japanese wiggled around for WEEKS now to come to the same conclusion Russia came after a few days. They should give the disaster management to the Russians or at least let them in to help ... The russians offered that from day one of the crisis, Japan wouldn't listen. " So the Japanese are Three Weeks behind the Russians with 6 (maybe 9!!! reactors and 10 000 tons more fuel. sweet.
