Hi Blog. \u00a0Here’s a novel way to explain away the entire Fukushima debacle — as a problem of backed-up nuclear waste. \u00a0See video below for kids depicting Fukushima as a constipated patient who can be cured by “doctors” and “medicine”. \u00a0Note how radiation is depicted as “farts”, merely amounting to “a bad smell”. \u00a0English subtitles included.<\/p>\n

If only the diagnosis and cure were so simple. Or the metaphor more accurate.<\/p>\n

Anyway, this is part of the process of lulling the Japanese public into complacency (keeping public calm and order as people in the path of the disaster merely wait for it to play itself out). \u00a0How much more distortion and deception can an educated people take?<\/p>\n
