Japan's first astronaut on Fukushima catastrophe

Japan Times has an extensive interview with Toyohiro Akihama, the first ever Japanese astronaut, who was also the first journalist in space. Some time after his adventure, he moved to the countryside to experience the agricultural life, with the bad luck of ending up just 60 km from the destroyed Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

The whole interview is of interest but he has something to say in particular about the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe and how Japan mismanages it:

In the world of engineering, you can’t have “absolute safety” — that’s why the “nuclear village” engineers can’t be trusted. How can they say nuclear power plants are absolutely safe? That’s not possible. Experts who call something safe when it can’t possibly be safe are living in a world of religion, not science.

(...)

I had reported on the fifth anniversary of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster (in present-day Ukraine) and the Three Mile Island accident (in Pennsylvania in 1979), so I knew all too well what the governments of the U.S. and Russia had done. 

I had read books on how the Japanese government has dealt with nuclear accidents in the past. When there’s an emergency, what the authorities try to do is to maintain “law and order.” What is order? It’s protecting the system presiding at the time. (...) What does maintaining order mean to them? To maintain the order of the existing “nuclear village.”

(...)

What gave me the best pointer was the fact that President Barack Obama ordered all Americans to evacuate from within a 50-mile (80 km) radius (of the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant). There was no better message than that. The government was bound to lie.

(...)

In Kyoto (where he now lives) we had a welcoming outcome (in July 21′s Upper House elections), with a member of the (antinuclear) Japanese Communist Party winning a seat. I don’t particularly like the JCP and I’m not a communist — if anything, I’d be more black than red (laugh). But when I read the statements by all the candidates running for the Upper House from Kyoto, nobody except for the JCP candidate said they were clearly opposed to the restart of nuclear reactors.

So the antinuclear voice was clearly expressed in the election. But the mass media failed to inform the voters. They treated the nuclear-power issue almost like a good luck charm. And Tepco only announced after the election that radioactive water from the Fukushima plant had seeped into the groundwater and flowed into the sea — but they should’ve known that already! Isn’t this media control? So my biggest theme at the moment is to stop the restart of nuclear reactors in Japan.

Internet censorship (from Webguerrillero[es]):

Blockade of Twitter, Facebook is not direct but the broadband has been strangled (via TTNET, the Turkish ISP provider). That way access is not formally blocked but the flow of information has been reduced to a trickle, what is the same.

This also applies to access to the Internet overall via 3G. The main operator TurkCell denied they were choking the lines but the reality on the ground is very different. 

At least 120,000 people in the Turkish state has already downloaded an application known as HotSpot Shield that helps evade state censorship.

Also Kasama has a large photo-gallery (with a chronicle of the revolutionary uprising), as well as a report of the solidarity protests in Boston.

England: Nazis exploit the false flag Woolworth staged "attack", antifascists confront them. Right-wing government plans police state on the Internet

The information I have is still patchy but it seems evident that the Nazi organization EDL, with ties to the Zionist-Nazi Utöya butcher A. Breivik, has been organizing rallies and racist manhunts across England. Antifascists have responded in great numbers. 

The most reported confrontation took place in Newcastle, where at least 1000 antifascist citizens called by city councilors, labor unionists and anti-discrimination movements actively opposed the Nazi rally. However some of the leadership (with special mention for the SWP) decided to exclude the most militant antifascists of the Revolutionary Communist Group (FRFI) and led police against them, resulting in 14 arrests, after apparent set-up.

Internet freedoms will be the first victims of the Goebbelsian staged attack

Reactionary Interior Minister Theresa May has outlined her plans to exploit the false-flag "attack" to push forward fascist measures of ideological control on the Internet. 

Initially at least these plans are being opposed by the Liberals, who support the government. Former minister Menzies Campbell said:

It would be the first time such powers could be given to monitor people at risk of being radicalised. We would be using electronic listening and other devices, as I understand it, for the first time for people who were not suspected of indulging in criminal behaviour.

What is being argued for by some is that all of us should be subject to scrutiny of every telephone call we make, every text we send and every internet site we visit. That is a very, very substantial intrusion into people's lives.

So that is another key aspect of what they actually seem to intend with these scandalous false-flag attacks: the 21st century version of Fascism destroying Internet freedom by a dramatic escalation of censorship and persecution of freedom of speech or even of thought.

Beware!

Inquisition attacks another Basque counter-information website, arrests one

The Spanish Inquisition (Audiencia Nacional, political tribunal created by the fascist regime) has opened procedures to shut down Burlataherria, a website of information on the town of Burlata, near Iruñea-Pamplona. 

The fascist tribunal has arrested one of the collaborators of that website on spurious accusations of "apology of terrorism" for the informative coverage that the site gave to the welcome acts to political prisoners of the Navarrese town since 2009. The same person was previously accused for the same reasons and acquitted.

A protest has been called for today evening.

Spain: more than 100,000 documents from the Civil War remain classified "secret"

The Spanish Ministry of Defense retains as "secret" 100,000 documents older than half a century which should clarify many dark details of the fascist massacres and other deals in the Civil War and World War II, when fascist Spain was closely allied with Hitler and Mussolini, even if it remained "non-belligerent". Other items of interest could be the relationships of fascist Spain in the Cold War and the dubious aspects of conflicts involving Morocco (Ifni War, West Sahara).

While Carma Chacó, Minister of Defense under Rodríguez Zapatero, seems to have explored the declassification of all these documents, so important for historians and the general public, the initial overture was never approved by the government and the issue remained parked until the neofascist People's Party took power in 2011. Since then nothing has been done about them either. 

In addition to these 100,000 documents, there are known hidden blanks in the documentation of the Spanish military available to the public, surely hidden in the High Defense Command. Nobody seems to know exactly how much because, as historians denounce, in Spain there is no information transparency.

According to the law of historical patrimony all documents must be available after 50 years. However the government applies the law of official secrets decreed under fascism, in 1968. 

Among the data hidden it is known to be old defense plans, armament projects (possibly hiding the secret nuclear ambitions of fascist Spain), multitude of documents on political repression and censorship, concentration camps, forced work prisoner brigades, summary executions, guerrilla activity, secret deals with other powers, etc. These key historical and political documents are scattered in a number of archives in Madrid, Sevilla, Palma de Mallorca, Ceuta, Barcelona, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Cartagena, O Ferrol, Cádiz, etc.
