Japan Reacts to Fukushima Crisis by George Washington SHARE
Japan -- Like the U.S. -- Turns to Censorship.
2 weeks after the Fukushima accident, we reported that the government responded to the nuclear accident by trying to raise acceptable radiation levels and pretending that radiation is good for us.

Is U.S. remaining vigilant to Fukushima Radiationrisks, Like Russia Is? SHARE
on multiple occasions over the last two years Russia has made data public on contaminated imports from Japan which have been sent back due to radiation concerns.
So I requested the total number of vehicles and shipping containers from Japan (to the US) which had failed radiation tests for a period between January of 2011 and to date. I was first told that the information requested was not immediately available, and that they would be unable to meet my press deadline. After I followed up a few days later and asked whether or not I would have to file a FOIA request to get this information, I was told that they had checked with multiple offices within the CBP and unfortunately "the specific information" I had requested was not tracked, instead of not immediately available.

MELTDOWNS: Who Pays? SHARE
Nuclear power is dangerous and meltdowns are expensive. Nuclear power is so dangerous that the corporations that build nuclear reactors would not do so unless they were protected from the liability of a nuclear accident. As the world has witnessed in Japan, the cost of a nuclear accident far outstrips the insurance coverage governments have jerry-rigged for the benefit of the nuclear industry. Ultimately, the public is left holding the radioactive bag and billions of dollars in accident clean-up costs.
Without an insurance scheme that shifts liability from the corporation to the public, the nuclear industry would never have split the first atom. After the Fukushima disaster, Vermont Law School researcher Mark Cooper stated that: "If the owners and operators of nuclear reactors had to face the full liability of a Fukushima-style nuclear accident...

Once Upon a Time...: If You Love Martyrs So Much, Then You Be One SHARE
"Some will object to my statement that Manning is being tortured today. They will acknowledge that he was held in solitary confinement and forced to sleep naked for months on end (among other inhumane practices), and that unquestionably was torture. But all that is over, and now he is "only" being imprisoned because of his actions. And he may still be sentenced to decades in prison, but he will not be subjected to inhumane conditions again (they hope). And he was provided a trial, but of course, it was a show trial from beginning to end, so perhaps we'd best not dwell on that. But at least he had a trial, and he was able to put on a defense, although a defense hideously constricted in its scope by the court's rulings, where every issue of significance was forbidden to be spoken of, so perhaps we'd better not dwell on that, either."
