(Broke But Rich) Feb. 22, 2025: Dive into the dark side of Japan with us as we explore the world of "standing girls" ("sign girls")—infantilized females who wait in public streets to sell themselves. This isn't the typical nightlife scene. Buddhist Japan’s unique culture -- and attitude towards sex (as with the ancient geisha courtesans) -- has created an unexpected environment where this underground trade operates in plain sight. But why does it happen? And what’s the real story behind these women?

Will Japan soon disappear? (video)

Japan in crisis as population fall could make the country "disappear" | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Well that just about wraps it up for Zen (kami)

(Firstpost) Japan has a severe demographic crisis. Its population fall could soon make the country "disappear" -- worse than the Maldives, which are sinking into the sea and the population is bailing out to higher ground in other countries. Japan's population will die where it stands and not replace itself fast enough to prevent catastrophe.

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's advisor has issued a dire warning, saying the country will "disappear" if the fall in birth rate is not arrested soon. Japan is in a precarious situation, and it must find a solution immediately. Palki Sharma looks into it.

COMMENTARY

• [Bringing in migrants and mating with them is the best, easiest, and fastest solution, but Japan's racism or preference for its own ethnicity makes that nearly impossible. Import Chinese. They're nearby, in abundance, and willing to go from poor pseudo-communists with few rights under a dictatorship to the most prosperous Asian country in the world (although Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia, and China would like to dispute that standing). Perhaps China could just march in and take over the islands (countless islands) that make up "Japan." It's also certain that nearby Russia -- look at a map -- would be interested in moving in and melding with the population, particularly the Ainu, or Caucasian Asians/White Japanese, which may already be an ancient blending. Perhaps the USA could drop a few more bombs to hasten Japan's demise, cause another Fukushima disaster, inundate it by causing more tsunamis by its testing of chairs, as Stewart Swerdlow revealed, or enforcing post-world-war amnesty treaties that ensured its consequent military weakness and its economic prosperity. Or maybe the Gold Ol' US of A could just make it a province of Hawaii and own many more Pacific islands than it already does, and it already owns thousands that few seem to know about, as most are kept for secretive military purposes.]

Turkey/Syria hit by deadly massive quakes

Guardian News; ITV News; Pfc. Sandoval, Seth Auberon, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

When the NSA rules the world

A caller phoned into to Coast to Coast (coastocoastam.com) Host Lisa Garr and told her these quakes, which have killed more than 45,000, were not natural occurrences. They were coverts acts of war by the United States, revenge for something Turkey and Syria had done to displease the Empire. When the powers that be make a threat, the little countries had better fall in line, or else. Look what our military did to Japan (Fukushima, Hiroshima, Nagasaki). Stewart Swerdlow says we were directly responsible for the massive tsunami that took out Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Japan, and other Asian coastal regions, when we were powering up a certain chair to manipulate time and space, toying with another Montauk Project. Moreover, one of the purposes of HAARP is to create quakes wherever we want to strike from a distance with "natural" disasters other, weaker countries cannot afford to recover from. Then we rush in with the "foreign aid" and arrest their development, turn them over to the economic hitmen or jackals, and control them from there on in. When "rainbows" flashed over Iran and China, that was HAARP in action.

Sex in Japan: Dying for Company

Who needs a girlfriend? Get a virtual playmate.

There has been a massive decline in Japan's birthrate over the years recently. Why is the nation of Japan finding it so hard to date and find a sexual relationship? Are the internet, the sex industry, and technology to blame? Or maybe it's nuclear fallout from the U.S. bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and Fukushima, which some blame on the CIA/NSC as payback and reprisals after threats warned the Japanese government to submit to U.S. imperial influence or else. Leuren Moret (just as Stewart Swerdlow at expansions.com claimed that powering the Montauk chair set off the Aceh, Indonesian tsunami) and others attribute the massive quake, tsunami, and meltdown not to incompetence but subterfuge. Whatever the case, Japan is radioactive and a victim of its technological and manufacturing success, overworked and socially disconnected.

7th anniversary: FUKUSHIMA disaster (video)

Hard; Dr. Caldicott; NHK; Pfc. Sandoval, S. Auberon, Ashley Wells, Wisdom Quarterly Wiki edit

The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (福島第一原子力発電所事故 Fukushima Dai-ichi genshiryoku hatsudensho jiko) happened in 2011.

It was an energy accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Ōkuma, Fukushima Prefecture, primarily initiated by the tsunami following the Tōhoku earthquake [caused by the U.S.] on March 11, 2011.

Immediately after the earthquake the active reactors automatically shut down their sustained fission reactions.

However, the tsunami disabled the emergency generators that would have provided power to control and operate the pumps necessary to cool the reactors.

(SGT Report) Dr. Helen Caldicott, M.D. on "The Horrible Truth About Fukushima"

The insufficient cooling led to three nuclear meltdowns, hydrogen-air explosions, and the release of radioactive material in Units 1, 2, and 3 from March 12 to March 15.

Loss of cooling also caused the pool for storing spent fuel from Reactor 4 to overheat on March 15th due to the decay heat from the fuel rods.

(NHK) What about the plants and animals? "Radioactive Forest"

 

On July 5, 2012 the Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission (NAIIC) found that the causes of the accident had been foreseeable and that the plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), had failed to meet basic safety requirements such as risk assessment, preparing for containing collateral damage, and developing evacuation plans.

On October 12, 2012 TEPCO admitted for the first time that it had failed to take necessary measures for fear of inviting lawsuits or protests against its nuclear plants.

 

The Fukushima disaster was the most significant nuclear incident since the April 26, 1986 Chernobyl disaster and the second disaster to be given the Level 7 event classification of the International Nuclear Event Scale. More

Robot enters Fukushima, finds problem (video)

I was offered the job. This is what I showed them. They used a swimming bot* instead.

(Time, July 19, 2017) An underwater robot entered a badly damaged reactor at Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant Wednesday, capturing images of the harsh impact of its meltdown, including key structures that were torn and knocked out of place.

Robot finds likely melted fuel heap inside Fukushima reactor

TOKYO, Japan - Images captured by an underwater robot showed massive deposits believed to be melted nuclear fuel covering the floor of a damaged reactor at Japan's [highly contaminated and] crippled Fukushima nuclear plant.

The robot found large amounts of solidified lava-like rocks and lumps in layers as thick as 3 feet (1 meter) on the bottom inside of a main structure called the pedestal that sits underneath the core inside the primary containment vessel of Fukushima's Unit 3 reactor, said the plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO).

On Friday (July 21, 2017), the robot spotted suspected debris of melted fuel for the first time since the 2011 earthquake and tsunami caused multiple meltdowns and destroyed the plant. The three-day probe of Unit 3 ended Saturday.

Locating and analyzing the fuel debris and damage in each of the plant's three wrecked reactors is crucial for decommissioning the plant. The search for melted fuel in the two other reactors has so far been unsuccessful because of damage and extremely high radiation levels.

There-there, C3PO. He's scared of Fukushima.

During this week's probe, cameras mounted on the robot showed extensive damage caused by the core meltdown, with fuel debris mixed with broken reactor parts, suggesting the difficult challenges ahead in the decades-long decommissioning of the destroyed plant.

TEPCO spokesman Takahiro Kimoto said it would take time to analyze the debris in the images to figure out debris removal methods. More

Serious news report

(Deep13th Nuclear Waste Info) Nuclear Watch: Meltdown at Fukushima Reactor 3 worse than thought (8/6/14):

The operator of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant says the damage to nuclear fuel in one of its reactors may be worse than previously thought. Tokyo Electric Power Company engineers have been working to size up damage at the plant from the March 11, 2011 accident and start the process of decommission. Officials with the utility now say most of the nuclear fuel in Reactor 3 melted through the reactor core and is now resting at the bottom of the containment vessel. They had previously said some of the fuel was still inside the reactor. Their latest assessment suggests decommissioning Reactor 3 could be more challenging than previously thought. A government panel investigating the meltdown had said an improper shutdown of an emergency cooling system called "HPCI" had contributed to the accident. But the utility's latest analysis states the cooling system was already dysfunctional before workers shut it down. It says a meltdown in Reactor 3 started at 5:30 am on March 13th. That's about five hours earlier than previously estimated. It says most of the fuel melted through the reactor core and dropped into the containment vessel by the following morning. 

Five years after Fukushima, the clean-up has just begun

Carolyn Beeler (PRI's The World)

Five years ago, a massive tsunami hit the coast of Japan, killing nearly 16,000 people and leading to the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl.

Tens of thousands of people are still displaced from homes near the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, and workers are using shovels and rakes to remove [2 inches of] radioactive topsoil from towns that may never rebound from the devastation.

 

DANGER: Radiation risk!

Crews at the nuclear facility are building tanks to hold the tons of water that needs to be piped into the damaged reactors every day to keep nuclear material cool.

 

“The most striking thing is the enormous amount of water tanks that are now on-site,” said journalist Steve Featherstone, who visited the plant last fall while reporting for Popular Science. “If we’re looking at the most immediate problem in the near-term, it’s this water, because it can’t all be captured."

In addition to the cooling water, hundreds of tons of groundwater flows underneath the Fukushima Daiichi site and gets contaminated by nuclear material. Some of it cannot be captured and flows back into the ocean, Featherstone said. More + AUDIO

How to clean and remediate nuclear sites

Editors, Wisdom Quarterly (COMMENTARY)

My Secret Garden, Satorinihon, Fundain, Tofukuji sub-temple, Kyoto (Christian Kaden)

.

Nokogiri Yama Buddha, Japan (Colorsimake)

There are numerous ways to clean up nuclear contamination -- Paul Stamets' research on mushrooms (Nature's own clean up crew) prospering in the area, Browns Gas' strange effects reversing radioactivity, and Dennis S. Watts's rejuvenation technology (atomic waste decontamination).

But we are told it's useless, we're helpless, we need to find yet another planet/world to contaminate and start over again on, a new Eden.

Wait, we can do something: That's karma.

What do the powers that be know that we do not? What are they not telling us about contamination (toxicity) and disease (organic malfunctions in response to toxins) and ways to reverse or prevent it in the first place? When we put our trust in corporate consumer capitalism, expect more of the same rather than a sudden "change" that Obama and other mouthpieces/politicians promise every four years.
