Desperate Families Say Soviets Reacted More Efficiently to Chernobyl, than Japan to Fukushima

This could happen to anybody's little civilized community anywhere...

Meeting in Fukushima confronts Tokyo officials.

(FUKUSHIMA / SALEM) - Fukushima residents are in harm's way, to say the least, and their very realistic fear of their children being permanently damaged by radiation from the Fukushima nuclear reactor

Six days ago, people in Fukushima met with government officials from Tokyo to demand that the government evacuate people promptly in Fukushima and provide financial and logistical support for them.

As instructed, they also brought urine samples from their children to the meeting and demanded that the government test it. The Tokyo officials refused to collect the urine samples. At the head of the officials, is Akira Satch, Director of the local Nuclear Emergency Response Headquarters.

Here is the transcript from the video posted below.

Question - "As other people do, people in Fukushima have a right to avoid the radiation exposure and live a healthy life, too. Don't you think so?"

Akira Satch - "The government has tried to reduce the radiation exposure dose as much as it can". "You didn't answer his question".

Question - "The government isn't applying a different standard to Fukushima is it?"

Yet again..Tim gets it. And as I mentioned before, this stuff is effecting the U.S. also. No, people wont start being dead tomorrow, but you watch, the cancer rate will expand within the next 5 years...and with obamacare, and the media, when you get cancer, they will just convince you to die, to have more money for two more teachers.."for the children"...
