If Greg were able to talk to my friend "K" who is a Japanese citizen, here is what he would learn about the politics behind the Japanese GE reactors in the Fukushima prefecture:
According to my source K, -- Back in 2006, the Bush Administration sent in American officials to "re-vitalize" the Japanese economy with the use of --
You guessed it! Nuclear power.
These officials had heavy duty connections to the Bush Administration and to GE.
Now at that time, the mayor of Fukushima, Mr Sato, he was dead set against having nuclear power. He wanted the nuclear power plants to be decommissioned. He wanted the entire prefecture to go into alternate energy production, with a wind/solar combination. (Fukusima has enough wind energy, being so close to the sea, that it would have worked out quite well.)
Instead of this mayor making an impact and changing this, which by the way was supported by his citizenry, some trumped-up charges of his accepting bribes came into play.
He was ousted from his office, and a different man, who was very pro-nuclear energy, was installed in his place.
The nuclear industry went full steam ahead. These past few days, you can see the consequences of that disastrous turn of events.
And of course, the charges against Mr Sato were proven erroneous, but the whole purpose was simply to get him out of the way.
(None of this would not have happened if the trumped up charges had not been given enough power by the more powerful governmental authorities, to take Mr Sato down.)
Also looking at time period of Nov 2010 to March 1st, 2011, the current prime minister of Japan has had approval numbers below 20 percent.
An agreement, very similar to the NAFTA treaty we let Clinton sign in early nineties, is sitting on his desk. His job, in terms of helping out his real Masters, is to convince his Parliament to sign off on this trade agreement.
But because of his lack of approval, and the dissent that he was facing, there was supposed to be an election, with the parliament either to step down or be voted out of office. We are talking about this supposed to be happening over the next ten days.
Instead, now that Japan is faced with this overwhelming crisis, nothing will happen politically to the prime minister for at least one year. No elections for at least one year. With the NAFTA style agreement to be signed by end of June at the latest, and the prime minister being given a full "Mayor Giuliani" treatment of handling this crisis so heroically.
