Think #YoichiShimatsu was exaggerating about insiders knowing how bad #Fukushima really was? Well, #HillaryClinton and #BarackObama knew -- and a #FOIA search for Fukushima-related emails proves it! They were warned. Did folks in the US get a warning? Not from the government! (And believe it or not, Shepard Smith, of Fox News, was the only one reporting from Japan and talking to people there -- who were aware that their government was lying to them. Probably the first and last time Faux News was factually accurate...)

Interesting choice of words. Is Rothkopf alluding to what #YoichiShimatsu would write about?

Where #Fukushima meets #Stuxnet: The growing threat of #CyberWar

by David Rothkopf
March 17, 2011

"The Japanese nuclear crisis, though still unfolding, may, in a way, already be yesterday’s news. For a peek at tomorrow’s, review the testimony of General Keith Alexander, head of U.S. Cyber Command. Testifying before Congress this week and seeking support to pump up his agency budget, the general argued that all future conflicts would involve #CyberWarfare ...

"'The way to look at this story is to link in your mind the Stuxnet revelations about the reportedly U.S. and #Israeli-led #Cyberattacks on the Iranian #nuclear enrichment facility at #Natanz and the calamities at the Fukushima power facilities over the past week. While seemingly unconnected, the stories together speak to the before and after of what cyber conflict may look like. Enemies will be able to target one another’s critical infrastructure as was done by the U.S. and Israeli team (likely working with British and German assistance) targeting the Iranian program and burrowing into their operating systems, they will seek to produce malfunctions that bring economies to their knees, put societies in the dark, or undercut national defenses."

And before you dismiss #YoichiShimatsu as a crackpot, please look into his history as an investigative journalist -- who are often the targets of governments and industries who have a lot to hide!

The #Fukushima Disaster, The Hidden Side of the Story

Wednesday, July 05, 2023
by Karl Grossman

"Yoichi Shimatsu, a former Japan Times journalist, appears in the film and speaks of 'the cruelty, the cynicism of this government.' He speaks of how in the accident’s aftermath, 'nearly every member of Parliament and leaders of the major political parties' along with #corporate executives, 'moved their relatives out of Japan.'"

The Fukushima Disaster, The Hidden Side of the Story

By Karl Grossman “The Fukushima Disaster, The Hidden Side of the Story” is a just-released film documentary, a powerful, moving, information-full film that is superbly made. Directed and edited by Philippe Carillo, it is among the strongest ever made...

Daily Kos

So, whenever I think about #Stuxnet, I recall how a journalist in Japan, #YoichiShimatsu, wrote about possible #Israeli Stuxnet sabotage at #Fukushima -- which caused some critical systems to fail. Many derided Shimatsu's theories as "Conspiracy Theories," but there may be a grain of truth in them -- especially given what happened with the recent #Malware attack on pagers in #Lebanon...

Journalist Accuses Israel of Fukushima Sabotage

October 14, 2011

By Richard Walker

"A leading Japanese journalist recently made two incredible claims about the Fukushima power plant that suffered a nuclear meltdown in March 2011, sending shockwaves around the world. First, the former editor of a national newspaper in Japan says the U.S. and Israel knew Fukushima had #weaponsgrade #uranium and #plutonium that were exposed to the atmosphere after a massive tsunami wave hit the reactor. Second, he contends that Israeli intelligence sabotaged the reactor in retaliation for Japan’s support of an independent #Palestinian state.

"According to Yoichi Shimatsu, a former editor of Japan Times Weekly, these nuclear materials were shipped to the plant in 2007 on the orders of Dick #Cheney and #GeorgeWBush, with the connivance of Israeli Prime Minister #EhudOlmert. The shipment was in the form of warhead cores secretly removed from the U.S. nuclear warheads facility BWXT #Plantex near Amarillo, Texas. While acting as the middleman, Israel transported warheads from the port of Houston, and in the process kept the best ones while giving the Japanese older warhead cores that had to be further enriched at Fukushima.

"Shimatsu credits retired #CIA agent and mercenary Roland #VincentCarnaby with learning the warheads were being transported from Houston. In a strange twist, Carnaby was mysteriously shot dead less than a year later by Houston police at a traffic stop. He was shot once in the back and once in the chest. He did not have a weapon in his hands.

"Intelligence sources said he had been tracking a #Mossad unit that was smuggling U.S. plutonium out of Houston docks for an Israeli nuclear reactor.

"In an even more explosive charge, the journalist says that 20 minutes before the Fukushima plant’s nuclear meltdown, Israel was so upset with Japanese support for a Palestinian declaration of statehood that it double-crossed Japan by unleashing the Stuxnet virus on the plant’s computers. The virus hampered the shutdown, leading to fallout from a section of the plant housing uranium and plutonium retrieved from the warheads supplied in 2007.

"While it is impossible to verify some of Shimatsu’s claims, there was a massive cover-up at the time of the Fukushima disaster in March [TRUE!!!]. Explosions at the site were immediately downplayed. While it was subsequently reported that three reactors suffered meltdowns, Japanese authorities tried to rate the disaster as a Level 4 on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale, although outside experts declared it a 7, which is the highest level.

"Something worth noting is how in 2009, two years after Shimatsu says the warheads were secretly moved to Japan, the International Atomic Energy Agency (#IAEA) issued a veiled warning to Japan not to abandon its #AntiNuclear weapons policy.

"The IAEA had to know, however, that Japan has long retained the potential to build #NuclearWeapons. That was made clear as far back as 1996 when a leaked Ministry of Foreign Affairs document exposed how Japan had been promoting a dual strategy in respect to nuclear weapons since the mid-1960s. It would often publicly profess a non-nuclear policy while maintaining the ability to build a nuclear arsenal. The Liberal Democratic Party, which has dominated Japanese politics, has always said there is no constitutional impediment to nukes.

"A factor that undoubtedly would have encouraged the Bush-Cheney White House to provide Japan with the means to secretly build nukes was the growing power of China. Cheney and Bush sought to arm Japan and India with nuclear weapons as a means of curbing China."

In this compelling film directed by award-winning filmmaker, Philippe Carillo. It delves deep into the hidden horrors and long-lasting consequences of this preventable environmental tragedy, and exposes the vital information deliberately suppressed by the media and the #JapaneseGovernment.

"'The Fukushima Disaster - The Hidden Side of the Story' is an eye-opening and poignant exploration of a dark chapter in human history. It serves as a stark reminder of the importance of transparency, accountability, and global cooperation to opt out of the need for nuclear energy in order to prevent such environmental catastrophes from ever happening again in the future. Featuring: Nobel Prize Nominee Dr. #HelenCalicott, Nuclear Engineer #ArnieGundersen, Former Japan Time Journalist #YoichiShimatsu, Former Nuclear Industry Spokesperson #MaggieGundersen, Professor John Keane, Dr. Dan Harper, Former NASA Nuclear Scientist Randall Mielke, Yumi Kikuchi, Former Japan Prime Minister Naoto Kan, Member of Parliament of Vanuatu Honorable Andrew Napuat.
