Introduction at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan, July 3, 2014 (at 2:00 in): They have a lot to say about the many health issues their families and communities are facing.
Kazue Morisono, of Koriyama (60 km from Fukushima Daiichi) at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan, July 3, 2014:
- 14:45 in — I was so ignorant of nuclear power plants, I kept on living [in Koriyama, 60 km from Fukushima Daiichi]. After Apr. 15, I started coughing very hard — couldn’t stop coughing and producing lots of green phlegm — then finally vomited blood. […] My husband couldn’t stand to see my suffering, he was wondering what had happened. I had a terrible headache. My skin inside my mouth kept peeling out, I had to spit it out. I also had a nose bleed in May, an awful lot of blood, it didn’t stop for a long time. I had tingling on hands and feet, always sick and tired. I happened to have a friend, a 2nd generation of atomic bomb victims, so I talked about my suffering to her. I also asked my friend to get in contact with Dr. Hida, who has been an authority on treating atomic bomb victims for a long time in Japan. He immediately said it’s rapid symptoms of nuclear radiation. […] Most people don’t even think of this area 60 km away from the power plant, that we have to suffer so much from the radiation. I’m now thinking that there is no limit to the radiation damage […] Thank you for listening to my story.
- 33:30 in — Radiation contamination is not only in Fukushima, because of the transport it’s been scattered all over Japan, and this issue is a national one I believe.
- 41:15 in — After the explosion, the weather changed. When the rain dropped on me while waiting in line for water, I was standing not knowing what is happening to me. [Almost crying] Many people — not only adults, but children, babies — were standing in line waiting to get water supply and food […] it lasted 5 days. I have to admit I was very ignorant, the prefecture’s local government or the state government didn’t issue any warnings about the radiation contamination. We just behaved as we did before the explosion.
- 1:04:00 in — The Ministry of Environment claims that this small burner will [dissipate???] all the radiation dosage. But the manufacturer of this burner says maximum it will be 60% […] So this is something I really want you people to know, that the government is burning the radioactive materials in Japan and spreading all radioactive materials into the air.
Saeko Uno of Fukushima City, at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan, July 3, 2014 (at 11:45 in): To the people of the world, we’d like you to be aware of the dangerous developments in Japan and pay attention to them. We need your helping hands to our activities toward [minimizing the] damage of nuclear power disaster. Thank you.
This is just the beginning. As the radioactive rubbish continues to pour into our water, soil, air and crops, it will hurt all of us, and soon, all of us will die. This radioactive poison has not abated, has not subdued, will not go away…it will continue to pour poison into every part of our atmosphere. Soon, nothing will be safe to eat or drink……or breathe.
The incessant silence on my questions, and those of many others tells me it is a serious problem to which they have no answer and no solution. I don’t believe they know how to stop, slow or fix it; it is beyond their control.
Perhaps it was believed in the beginning it could be controlled, but that really doesn’t matter now. The fact is thousands have died (they have kept it very quiet) and many more will follow. All of us on the west coast are doomed.
A friend of mine living in Washington State, only a few hundred miles from the disaster there has been diagnosed with CoPD. He is coughing his lungs out. Not one word about the disaster close to his home………the silence on radioactive disasters is beyond description.
He moved there about a year ago, now he is terribly sick. He came down to do some work for some acquaintances of mine, and when he left, they complained he didn’t do all the work he promised.
I told them he was sick, I could tell then. I came out of a near death in 2005 with an ability to smell illness……and I could smell it on him. People can walk past me, and I can smell it……he now carries the scent and he is getting weaker every day.
I remember visiting with a friend of mine, and a neighbor of his came over to say hello. We visited for a minute or two, and he left. I told my friend his neighbor was very sick……and he looked at me in shock. He told me his neighbor had a hole in his heart, but I had no way to know it……I could smell it on him.
My friend is now on the fast track to death, living close to the disaster in WA state. We are on it, too, the poisons from Fukushima hit us daily…..but not one word from news media on any US outlet. I wish more people would go overseas for their news, the Internet has made it much easier, and they can find information if they seek it out.
The US has something very powerful working for them besides their highly polished propaganda………denial. Nobody wants to acknowledge they face death, a dreadful death, with no help in sight.
It won’t happen in 40 years, 30, 20……it is happening now, and nobody wants to face it. Denial is the best tool they can use.
Looking at a globe of the world, Fukushima is 5200 miles away from San Francisco. A man who takes the trip quite often, took a ship from Fukushima to San Francisco. This was 32 months after the disaster. The Pacific Ocean was dead for the first 3000 miles. The only living creature he saw, was a dolphin with a boil on his head.
After 3000 miles, he started seeing some sea life again. I am grateful to say I have sailed in the great oceans, and have seen how the animals and fish play together in a living ocean, it is wonderful to behold. Seeing nothing for 3000 miles is a grim picture.
A lot closer to Japan are the Philippines, China, Korea, Russia and related nations. The US west coast is in direct receipt of their jet stream, the other nations are much closer physically. I wonder how the oceans appear there……..
It is the lack of information that is the most painful. Truth can be bitter, but at least it can be reviewed and understood. The lies are the worst, only a fool would believe them.
Fukushima now a radioactive swamp.

They say they need help, but nobody will admit the truth. How can anyone help when nobody will tell the truth?
He is dying, and nobody will do a thing. How many will have to die so horribly before the people rise up? They are as dumbed down as Americans. It is pathetic. Millions of us would help if we knew how we could. Both of us have liar governments.
