Capitalistes et gouvernement japonais ont une grave responsabilité dans ce qui est un véritable crime contre l’humanité

Lying Inept B astards at TEPCO spread mistrust around the world.
It’s these lying b astards that got us into this situation to begin with. People in Japan have been lobbying years warning that the reactors didn’t have the necessary safety measures and backup measures.
And now they are the ones feeding the information to the Govt, and they’re doing a halfassed job of that as well.
Where is the IAEA on the ground ?
Where is the independent verification to confirm to the world that they are not telling pork pies ?
Why did they take so long to request assistance, when the Russians and a heap of other countries had their gear ready to go and assist.
What a big feckup !
And they’ve put the entire country’s future on the chopping block.
A cloud of nuclear mistrust spreads around the world
After decades of lies, nuclear reassurances now fall on deaf ears
It is unprecedented : four atomic reactors in dire trouble at once, three threatening meltdown from overheating, and a fourth hit by a fire in its storage pond for radioactive spent fuel.
All day yesterday, dire reports continued to circulate about the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, faced with disaster after Japan’s tsunami knocked out its cooling systems. Some turned out to be false : for example, a rumour, disseminated by text message, that radiation from the plant had been spreading across Asia. Others were true : that radiation at about 20 times normal levels had been detected in Tokyo ; that Chinese airlines had cancelled flights to the Japanese capital ; that Austria had moved it embassy from Tokyo to Osaka ; that a 24-hour general store in Tokyo’s Roppongi district had sold out of radios, torches, candles and sleeping bags.
But perhaps the most alarming thing was that although Naoto Kan, Japan’s Prime Minister, once again appealed for calm, there are many – in Japan and beyond – who are no longer prepared to be reassured.
Tepco has a truly rotten record in telling the truth. In 2002, its chairman and a group of senior executives had to resign after the Japanese government disclosed they had covered up a large series of cracks and other damage to reactors, and in 2006 the company admitted it had been falsifying data about coolant materials in its plants over a long period.
Last night it was reported that the International Atomic Energy Agency warned Japan more than two years ago that strong earthquakes would pose "serious problems", according to a Wikileaks US embassy cable published by The Daily Telegraph.
Even Chernobyl, the world’s most publicised nuclear accident, was at first hidden from the world by what was then the Soviet Union, and might have remained hidden had its plume of escaping radioactivity not been detected by scientists in Sweden.
So why do they do it ? Why does the instinct to hide everything persist, even now, when the major role of nuclear energy has decisively shifted from the military to the civil sector ? Perhaps it is because there is an instinctive and indeed understandable fear among the public about nuclear energy itself, about this technology which, once its splits its atoms, releases deadly forces.
