My good buddy Matthew just sent me a link regarding Big Brother in Japan.
The link is HERE
But, it says:
"The Japanese government says that the damage caused by earthquakes and by the nuclear accident are being magnified by irresponsible rumors, and the government must take action for the sake of the public good. The project team has begun to send letters of request to such organizations as telephone companies, internet providers, cable television stations, and others, demanding that they take adequate measures based on the guidelines in response to illegal information. The measures include erasing any information from internet sites that the authorities deem harmful to public order and morality."
Holy crap! Maybe I'll get lucky enough to have Japan - It's A Wonderful Rife censored! Actually... I see their point - I just don't agree with it.
It's possible that the information I reported on HERE, may be incorrect (it's the only story I've done that kind of bothered me... but I figured I would present it. Perhaps one day the full story will be revealed in some hideous movie-of-the-week on television, but until then... I'm sure we would all like to be presented with as much information as possible on things that might be interesting.
I'm not directly involved in Japan's government, so I can only tell you things I hear or have been reported. I'm not peddling rumours. For a nuclear reactor to end up in the state it is in at the Dai-ichi facility in Fukushima-ken... well... if there wasn't an accident - whether man-made or by nature - then what caused the nuclear reactor situation to become what it is?
Regardless of the cause - safety measures at the facility failed and the country and its population have been put at risk.
The whole thing smacks of Japan's old closed door policy. You can read up on THAT here.
Currently, the situation is under more control than it has been since March 11, 2011 - and that's a good thing.
Of course - perhaps the information on the website Matthew sent me is false, too?
