It's all talk by politicians, with absolutely no intentions of fulfilling anything, they probably didn't even talk to any companies about the idea, just another brain fart from politicians trying to bolster their careers, happens in all countries. It would only happen if it would hurt the average person, then and only then would it go through.

Anyone who justifies the dropping of 2 A-bombs on cities filled with civilians, old men, women and children to a military attack on a military naval base is short on intellectual capability.
The Japanese built some pretty fine warships in Nagasaki.
Some pretty famous Japanese Battleships came from Nagasaki.
While in Hiroshima munitions for the war effort were made.
Not trying to justify the Bombings any Bombings, they could have firebombed the 2 cities as they did Tokyo, but probably more people would have died that way, it's estimated that between 80,000 to 100,000 died in Tokyo.

Every year the coal industry releases more radioactive material into the air and water, than all the nuclear power plants and nuclear bombs ever.
I read that also in Scientific American, however some of Scientific Americans articles over the last few years have been a little political as well. So the question is, with such a political weapon as Climate Change seems to have become, do you really trust the source?

Posted in: Japan says China, S Korea have both released water with high levels of tritium See in context
Nothing like pointing out a little hypocrisy when others are trying to assume moral high ground.
I totally agree with your assessment, however 2 wrongs do not make a right, and I do believe the levels of any radiation found in fish should be checked periodically, to do otherwise would be a lack of responsibility, which we have seen too much of since the Fukushima disaster. The West cannot control what China does especially, but it can keep their populace informed and safe as much as possible.
The article reminds me of America, every time there is some problem in the states Journalist will say, but wait look at Japan or look over there it's even worse, never discussing what's going on in their own backyard, this article kind of looks similar. (Economy, politics, homelessness.) Wait, look over there, that's called a distraction and it's prevalent everywhere. Your mileage may vary, but as far as I am concerned all governments on Earth have never shown why they should be trusted with almost anything under the Sun. Keep in mind that one of the leading causes of death, especially in the 20th Century was Democide, more than War, however even war can be considered as Democide.

130,000 Bank Accounts effected with the My Card and still TPTB are pushing it while seemingly not at all worried about the My Card's obvious faults.
It seems that Western countries and I include Japan in that as they are in the G7, have been trying in some form or other to imitate China whenever the situation presents itself, and the My card seems to be the future for all personal data in the future, they need it to control the masses just like China. After everything is on the My Card, they then will try for a Social Credit Score and perhaps Carbon Credits if they can push this climate change thing hard enough. Don't think for one minute that this is not a possibility, TPTB got Japanese to all wear Mask and jump through hoops during the Covid crisis, (heck Japan is still pushing this Covid thing) it can and will be tried at the very least. So if you like being controlled, go along with their every desire, and their desire is complete control. Great Democracy in Japan, the Japanese have no say what so ever in the My Card realm, it's just do as your told peon.

A Russian fighter buzzed an American Destroyer and all the electronics went out on the US destroyer, my understanding is that many on the ship got out of the Navy after that incident. So anything is possible, except perhaps little green men attacking the helo. Also, I heard reports of US fighter jets having to return to base with some problems at about the same time. Never discount anything, and don't depend upon the Government to ever tell you the truth. The news on the American Destroyer was all over the news, I don't believe Mayday or NatGeo carried that news.

Indeed welcome to the New World Order, and that's exactly what Japan's Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Yasutoshi Nishimura desires, he even said as much. I wonder if the Minister has anything in common with the average Japanese person at all, as I really tend to doubt it. He belongs and has connections to so many nefarious organizations in which the average Person has no connection to what so ever. Oh I know he can speak Japanese so he must have something in common with the common man.

As long as they continue the PCR type testing this will never end, the PCR was never meant to be used to detect a sickness or find a virus, it was invented only for scientific purposes, you can find almost anything you want with a PCR test. One need only listen to Kary Mullis the noble prize winner who invented the PCR test to understand what's going on, he died just before the Plandemic broke out.

Posted in: 80-year-old driver arrested over fatal hit-and-run in Yamanashi Prefecture See in context
Japan really needs a law requiring the elderly to take tests on reaction and cognitive ability before renewing their licenses. Renewals should be yearly or every 6 months depending on the results of the past tests.
They already require test, there is one for 70 to 75, and another that's tougher after you reach 75, so evidently this old guy passed the test already, because at 80 he had to have taken 2 tough test, or perhaps he was driving without a license. When I reached 70 I took a test, I will admit in the driving test one old 80 year old grandmother scared me to death with her driving skills, which were little to none, it's probably too easy to pass the test.
As one comment said, most of the farmers are old in Japan, maybe if they made the test more difficult those folks could not plant their crops, there should be a special law for the farmers, they had them in Kansas, there you could drive at 14 or 15 if it was farm related. (I know of no farmers in my area under 50, some are in their late 80's.) I agree the test should be a little harder to pass. Most folks I know that feel they can no longer drive, turn in their license or just do not drive, the license itself is a nice ID.

Or you can turn off the TV, stop listening to the authorities and live your life, be happy, peace.

Posted in: Shinzo Abe murder suspect: What we know See in context
No confirmation of whether Yamagami is a member of Sanctuary, the pro-Trump splinter group of the Unification Church which gained notoriety after joining the January 2020 attack on the US Capital Building.
Maybe it was a Japanese organization that actually has connections to Abe's opposing party, so if true, the killer had no idea what Abe stood for or against, most people that perform these kinds of acts anywhere in the world are sick and their beliefs are usually wrong. Some say Abe was with the NWO, some say a Nationalist, whatever he truly was, the killer had no idea. The organization was probably Soka Gakkai which has a relationship with the Komeito which is another political party in Japan, Abe was in the LDP party not Komeito, if true, the killer was just another wrong, sick Murderer, even if not true he was one sick, wrong, murderer.
Now, Abe and many world leaders gave a speech at the Unification Church once, but there is no proof of any connection with the Church as the Church is Korean and Abe has always been a Nationalist, heck the guy visited Yasakuni Shrine on occasion, the Koreans hate that, so personally that point sounds like BS. Everytime an event like this happens Conspiracies pile up, making it difficult to find the real truth. However, the killers mom probably was ripped off by the Unification Church as they've ripped off many folks over the years, so the Main Stream Narrative goes.

It's a start.
Not really, governments always ease up a little on the proletariat when they think there maybe some blowback, this will carry on with more and more fear mongering, shut downs, until the economy cannot recover and a so called great reset put into place. This so called Great Reset will not be in the proletariats interest, it never is. Once the State is allowed to have an inch, they will take a mile, and whatever they took away you will never get back. Throw the dog a bone, and they keep all the meat. People should never ever let governments control people, people should control governments, but in today's world you can plainly see who controls who.

Stop with the credibility crap, most governments and Main Stream Press all over the world has lost credibility on this pandemic, by not allowing any debate what so ever, just mandates and lockdowns from high above. The VAERS data base is almost never even mentioned within the Main Stream, and any organization that so much as tells anything opposite of the Main Stream is quickly decharacterized and attacked. Which actually sounds similar to what you just tried to do to me, and I'm just writing down the facts.
