“We are very supportive of the new security measures that have been put in place, and are being put in place, here in Japan. We view our relationship with the Japanese navy as one of absolute equals.”-Ray Mabus, U.S. Secretary of the Navy

The new Imperialist Japan has created an immigration intelligence center under the guise of providing security for the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

This pic of the quick meeting between Imperialist Abe and Communist Xi says it all: These guys hate each other!

Japan’s Self Defense Forces have launched a new Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Agency.  It will develop not just weapons for Japan, but will sell Japanese weapons to other countries which is now allowed under the new imperialist laws, and take part in military weapons developments in other countries like Australia and United States.

Syria, 21 September 2015: Israel promises to avoid attacking Russians! John Kerry reveals war will ramp up! Hezbollah to quit fighting in Syria!

“We strongly condemn the criminal shelling against the Russian diplomatic mission in Damascus.  Moscow expects a clear stance by members of the international community, including regional sides, regarding this criminal act.”-Russian Foreign Ministry

A day after insurgents begged Israel to impose a ‘no fly zone’ over Syria, Reuters claims Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has promised Russian President Vladimir Putin to “prevent misunderstandings between IDF [Israel Defense Force] units and Russian forces” in Syria.

This comes as Israeli news sources say Russia has begun UAV (drone) recon missions within Syria.

Israel’s SodaStream claims it will provide 1-thousand Syrian refugees with jobs.

“The U.S. has long been trying to remove Syrian President Assad…U.S. interests also weaken Europe….     Turkey now attacking the Kurds….”-Miloslav Ransdorf, Czech Republic’s Minister to the European Union Parliament

Does the evil unconstitutional leadership of the United States know something?  Why did John Kerry announce a phased increase of war refugees from the around the world (not just Syria) for the next two years?

Specifically in fiscal 2016 the number of war refugees that the U.S. ‘officially’ takes-in will go from 70-thousand per year to 85-thousand.  But in fiscal 2017 it’ll jump to 100-thousand!  Why?  If the ‘advanced’ power players of the world are truly working to end the wars why is the U.S. expecting such a huge increase in refugees?

John Kerry’s statements about the phased increase of war refugees came a day after he told the world that “Assad must go” but also said there was no set deadline for getting rid of Assad.

Lebanon news sources say the Lebanese Resistance Regiments will end their operations within Syria once the city of Zabadani is fully liberated from EU-Saudi-Israeli backed insurgents.

Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reports that Syrian Arab Army Air Force ‘Hip’ helicopters continued their months long thermobaric barrel bombings across several governorates where U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli backed insurgents are concentrated.   Hundreds of people killed from barrel bombs just today.

Aleppo Governorate: In Aleppo City, Syrian Arab Army says U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli backed insurgents launched artillery rocket attacks killing two civilians and wounding six.   However, Syrian Observatory for Human Rights believes at least one of the rocket attacks came from the Syrian Arab Army and was targeting DAESH held territory, but resulted in four civilians being killed.  United Kingdom news sources say the YPG (Kurdish People’s Protection Units) are planing to capture the DAESH held Syria-Turkey border crossing of Jarabulus.  The Independent predicts this will royally piss off NATO member Turkey. 

Damascus (Rif Dimashq) area:  Police report a Jaish al-Islam insurgent artillery mortar round impacted near the al-Hal market in al-Zablatani, one person killed.

Daraa Governorate:  The Syrian Arab Army reports multiple battles with insurgents including U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli backed Jabhat al-Nusra (Nusra Front).  Many homemade bombs had to be disarmed.

Deir Ezzor Governorate:     Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reports five civilians killed by airstrikes, and one 18 years old killed by DAESH sniper.

Hama Governorate:  The Syrian Arab Army Air Force conducted airstrikes using thermobaric barrel bombs, while the Army conducted artillery strikes, across northern areas. 

Hasakah Governorate:  Reports that U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli backed insurgents blew up two car bombs at the entrance of Mishrafa Village, killing four civilians and wounding four others.  Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reports DAESH attacked YPG (Kurdish People’s Protection Units).

Homs Governorate:  Syrian Arab Army battles with DAESH north of Shaer Mountain to the north west of Tadmur (Palmyra).  Police report two insurgent artillery rocket rounds impacted on a bus station near a clinic, killing a child and wounding five people.  Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reports U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli  insurgents targeted Alawites by planting a bomb in a car. The owner of the car was killed when got in.

Lattakia Governorate:  Syrian Arab Army says they killed 24 insurgents near the Mediterranean coastal villages of al-Shahrora and Zahia.

Quneitra Governorate: Syrian Arab Army reports battles with Jabhat al-Nusra.  Reports say insurgent vehicle convoy hit with guided missiles.

Raqqah Governorate:  Syrian Arab Army and Air Force reports battles with DAESH in Raqqa City.

Idaho preppers drive up sales! “unhealthy unemployment” reason Fed Reserve not raising interest rates! Obama regime threatens 5,000 jobs in Chicago! Florida torturing & billing prisoners to fund prison ops! : U.S. Job Losses & Closings 19 – 20 September 2015

Incomplete list of publicly announced layoffs & shutdowns:

Alaska: Federal Department of Labor reports an increase in new unemployment claims.

Connecticut: God’s British empire based Salvation Army shutting down their Manchester Thrift Store by the end of the month.  The Salvation Army joining other evil corporations in the consolidation trend.

Florida: The Sunshine State has entered the dark age when it comes to funding prisons: “They charged me for me being in prison!”-Jeremy Barrett, former prisoner who also had one of his eyes gouged out for stealing a potato from the prison kitchen!

“I was floored. It’s an astronomical number. It’s almost laughable.”-Dee Taylor billed $55-thousand USD for being in state prison

Idaho: Survivalism is driving up sales for some Idaho Falls businesses.  The Post Journal reports a spike in sales over the past six weeks.  The journalist said none of the preppers wanted to talk to him, but at one store “One woman bought almost $2,000 worth of merchandise and another purchased about $400 worth of items.”  On one hand it’s a good thing because sales are up, on the other hand it’s bad because more and more citizens think we’re about to go to hell in hand basket!

Illinois: The Obama regime controlled Chicago Public Schools (CPS)  warned of 5-thousand more job cuts despite massive layoffs already! The layoffs would take place right before Thanksgiving!  Obama regime CPS administrators claim that $480-million USD in state funding has never shown up (yeah right)!  What automotive industry recovery?  Japan based Mitsubishi said if nobody wants to buy their Normal factory by November they’re going ahead with plans to shut it down and render 1,250 employees jobless!

Indiana: Trucking company Triple Crown Services eliminating 2-hundred jobs!  It’s blamed on parent company Norfolk Southern’s “restructuring”.   In Georgetown, ice cream shop Polly’s Freeze shutdown after 63 years.  It’s up for sale to help fund the owners’ retirements, who say they can no longer physically run the business.

Maine: Federal Department of Labor reports an increase in new unemployment claims.  After 87 years (surviving the Great deflationary Depression and numerous recessions) Smart’s Hardware being merged with competitor Aubuchon Hardware: “Boody and I want to pass the business on while we are healthy. We didn’t want to leave a mess behind for our families, and we didn’t have anyone come along that wanted to run the business.”-Larry Smart, co-owner

Maryland: In Frederick, after 1-hundred years (surviving the Great deflationary Depression and numerous recessions) God refused to stop ‘his’ Saint Timothy’s Episcopal Church from shutting down.  It’s blamed on The Rapture, I mean dwindling membership.

Minnesota:  Federal Department of Labor reports an increase in new unemployment claims.

Nebraska: In Beatrice, pharmacy The Medicine Shoppe shutdown without warning.  No explanation why it shutdown, but apparently Shopko is taking over the pharmacy ops.

North Dakota: Federal Department of Labor reports an increase in new unemployment claims.

Oklahoma:   Federal Department of Labor reports an increase in new unemployment claims.

Pennsylvania:   In Sharon, the James E. Winner Jr. Arts and Culture Center shutdown.  The operators say the building they were in was too big, they need a smaller space.

Texas:   Austin based internet job search company Indeed reports that 36 states have unemployment that is still higher than before the 2008 ‘Great Recession’, and 14 of those states meet the Federal Reserve’s definition of “unhealthy unemployment”!

Virginia: Federal Department of Labor reports an increase in new unemployment claims.

Washington DC: Federal Department of Labor reports an increase in new unemployment claims.

Wyoming:  Federal Department of Labor reports an increase in new unemployment claims.

WARN=Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification

Former employees who receive severance are not counted as unemployed

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) no longer issues mass layoff reports: “On March 1, 2013, President Obama ordered into effect the across-the- board spending cuts (commonly referred to as sequestration) required by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, as amended. Under the order, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) must cut its current budget by more than $30 million, 5 percent of the current 2013 appropriation, by September 30, 2013. In order to help achieve these savings and protect core programs, the BLS will eliminate two programs, including Mass Layoff Statistics, and all ‘measuring green jobs’ products. This news release is the final publication of monthly mass layoff survey data.”

Japan to invade South Sudan under new law! It’s all about the oil!

20 September 2015 (00:36 UTC-07 Tango 01)/29 Shahrivar 1394/06 Dhu l-Hijja 1436/08 Yi-You (8th month) 4713

Not even 48 hours after adopting a law that allows unilateral military action around the world and the Japanese neo-imperialist National Diet is now considering sending combat troops to oil rich South Sudan!

Currently Japan has military engineering units in South Sudan as part of a UN ‘peacekeeping’ mission (aka UNMISS).  That mission ends in December and the neo-imperialists want combat troops to be sent in.

Japan was originally asked by Republic of Korea to join them in South Sudan, and supply the South Korean troops with 5.56mm (.223 caliber) assault rifle ammo.   Apparently the ammo supply mission ended in January 2014, but the Japanese remained in South Sudan to carry “…out the development of the grounds, the restoration of roads and other activities.”

Supposedly the first action of the Japanese combat troops in South Sudan is to conduct a mock rescue of Japanese nationals being held hostage.

In 2011 Japan was the third largest buyer of oil from South Sudan, after Malaysia and China.  In 2010, Toyota said it was going to spend $1.5-billion USD building a pipeline through South Sudan.

“Since the nuclear disaster in Fukushima in March 2011 prompted a rapid drop in desire to rely on nuclear energy, Japan’s demand for oil has quadrupled.

It is especially interested in South Sudan’s low-sulfur fuel oil (LSFO). Since South Sudan is Japan’s second-largest supplier of LSFO, during the Sudanese oil shutdown, Japan’s power utilities were forced to pay a premium in order to obtain LSFO from other sources.”

Saber Rattling against China about territorial claims? It’s about the huge oil reserves right underneath China!

Fukushima – WIPP – Radiation Fallout: INL admits “nobody really knows what’s going on.” Radioactive trash dump in U.S. on fire?

“The Agency has for many years made a major contribution to development by making nuclear science and technology available in areas such as food production, water management and agriculture. Our work deserves greater recognition.”-Amano Yukio, UN IAEA

India: “Over the past four months, sporadic rainfall saw Mumbai’s UV Index (UVI) levels touch the ‘high risk’ category. Their immediate effect can be seen in form of sun burns, long-term exposure can lead to skin cancer and cataract.  ‘The sporadic rain pattern is responsible for the high UV radiations in the city this monsoon,’ said Gufran Beig, project director, System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR), IITM. ‘When (the number of) rainy days are less followed by a long period of sunny days, UV radiation levels peak.’”

Ukraine: “International heavy lift company Mammoet and its client Novarka have successfully connected the two halves of the New Safe Confinement (NSC) structure at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine. This was needed following the catastrophic nuclear accident in 1986.”

United States: “Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.), ranking member of the House Communications Subcommittee, are accusing the FCC of failing to enforce safety guidelines on cell tower worker exposure to radiofrequency radiation, saying they are putting the health and safety of a quarter of a million workers at risk.”

“Exposure to high doses of radiation triggers a number of potentially lethal effects. Among the most severe is the gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity syndrome caused by the destruction of the intestinal barrier, resulting in bacterial translocation, systemic bacteremia, sepsis, and death….   ….TP [Thrombin-derived Peptide] 508 may be an effective emergency nuclear countermeasure that could be delivered within 24 h post exposure to increase survival and delay mortality, giving victims time to reach clinical sites for advanced medical treatment.”

“Scientists have recently developed a new hybrid solar energy system that harnesses all of the sun’s radiation…..”

Idaho:  Researchers at the INL are on the verge of creating a system to track nuclear waste from the oil industry.  The oil industry uses radioactive material as part of its oil extraction process.  The new system will be tested in North Dakota because “It’s the Wild West out there. Waste sites are taking the wrong stuff, or they’re dumping it in fields. Nobody really knows what’s going on.”-Doug Akers, Idaho National Laboratory

Massachusetts: “As a resident of Plum Island, Newbury, I are deeply concerned about the threat posed by Seabrook Station — the threat of radiation release. If a radiation release were to occur, evacuating this area would be impossible.”

“…parents filed a lawsuit claiming that the Fay School in Southborough has ‘high-intensity Wi-Fi emissions’ that have harmed their son……he has a condition called Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Syndrome (EHS)”

Missouri: “…radiation from the West Lake Landfill in Bridgeton has spread to neighboring properties. The reports also suggested that an underground fire at the neighboring Bridgeton Landfill is moving toward radioactive waste and could reach it as soon three to six months. The landfills’ owner, Republic Services, has vehemently maintained that the situation at the landfills is under control.”

“Loretta Copeland is shutting the doors on her dog grooming business on Natural Bridge Road, near McKelvey Road, about a mile from the landfill. She says she’s afraid of getting cancer.  ‘…it just seems like everybody you talk to they either have cancer or they know somebody……..Who wants to buy a grooming shop sitting within one mile from the landfill?’”

New Mexico: “The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant simulated a full-scale emergency response on Wednesday to prepare the facility and community in case an emergency occurred again.”

“The Underground Ventilation System at Waste Isolation Pilot Plant is being upgraded to provide additional airflow into the facility’s underground.”

“…burying 34 tons of weapons-grade plutonium would be far cheaper and more practical than completing a multibillion-dollar plant that would turn the radioactive material into commercial reactor fuel.”

New York: “The studies found that 50 percent to 75 percent of the animals who were exposed to a potentially lethal dose of radiation died without any treatment. Using Cleveland BioLabs’ Entolimod drug, less than a third of all animals that received the drug died, even when the drug was administered as much as 48 hours after exposure.”

“An upstate New York man faces life in prison after he became the first person ever convicted in the U.S. of trying to acquire a radiation weapon for mass destruction…”

Washington: Hanford to remain Undeclared Interim Storage site “By early 2007 the decision was made to construct a mox fuel plant at the Savannah River Site (SRS), in South Carolina. Construction is 70 percent complete, and some $4.5 billion has been spent.  ……DOE-Headquarters is now considering major/arbitrary changes to the final disposition of MOX, and stopping construction the mos facility at SRS!    DOE’s new path is considering ‘downblending’ (diluting) the weapons grade plutonium and adding it to waste going to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in New Mexico. DOE reports shutting down the SRS mox plant could cost a billion dollars.”

“In the near term the cost of dealing with the solid waste would be about $20 million from the DOE Richland Operations Office annual budget, which is about $1 billion a year, according to the state of Washington.”

Washington DC: “In 1981, anthropologists, engineers, nuclear physicists, and others assembled to form the Human Interference Task Force, at the behest of the U.S. Department of Energy and Bechtel Corp. The impetus of the task force, according to a technical report issued a few years later, was to ‘reduce the likelihood of future humans unintentionally intruding on radioactive-waste isolation systems.’”

Japan:  Off the coast of Hokkaido a fish called a Wolffish was caught. The man who caught it says it’s one of the largest Wolffish ever caught.  See internet ‘TV’ news report here.

Proof of arrogant incompetence: “…there was a basic assumption in Japan that the design of nuclear power plants and the safety measures that had been put in place were sufficiently robust to withstand external events of low probability and high consequences….there was a tendency for organizations and their staff not to challenge the level of safety……resulted in a situation where safety improvements were not introduced….”

More proof of government incompetence: “…a team of Japanese researchers report that evacuation following the Fukushima nuclear accident may have been much worse for Japanese citizen’s health than nuclear radiation.”

“Authorities in the small city of Nikko in Japan’s Tochigi Prefecture, some 175 km away from the Fukushima nuclear power plant, have said that at least 334 bags containing radioactive soil have been swept into a tributary of the Kinugawa river, The Asahi Shimbun reports.

According to the city’s authorities, the washed-away waste was only part of hundreds of bags being stored at the Kobyakugawa Sakura Koen park alongside the river. Another 132 bags of waste reportedly rolled down the slopes.”

Imperial Japan rises from Atomic Bombing Ashes! New law allows Japan to unilaterally attack any country in the World!

18 September 2015 (13:13 UTC-07 Tango 01)/27 Shahrivar 1394/04 Dhu l-Hijja 1436/06 Yi-You (8th month) 4713

After decades with a constitution that forbade the project of offensive military power outside of Japan, and despite weeks of protests by tens of thousands of Japanese, the neo-imperialist government has succeeded in passing what they call a “collective self defense” law that gives political leaders the right to unilaterally declare war on any country in the world.

Abe (Aww-Bay) Shinzō, who was just re-elected by default (no opposing candidates), claims the law will prevent war.  Famous Orwellian Double Speak last words as imperialist have always made such claims right before major warfare breaks out.

Abe claims Japan is being threatened by China and Korea, but I’ve been following Japanese foreign politics for several years now and it is Japan, with the backing of the Obama regime, that has been rattling the sabers!  It’s is about oil, just like it was in the first half of the 20th century when Japan took by force territories from Russia, China, Vietnam, Philippines, Korea and many other east and southeast Asian lands.

Anti Gun Japan can’t stop mass stabbings!

In a country that totally bans guns people are being killed with knives, en masse.  Police detained a man from Peru for allegedly conducting home invasions in which four people were stabbed to death in Kumagaya City.  The suspect stabbed himself before jumping out a window, he’s now in a coma.

Police suspect the man is probably responsible for the stabbing deaths of a man and a woman two days prior.  Japan’s National Police Agency says there is an average of seven mass stabbings every year in the anti-gun country.

In March 2015, in Hyogo Prefecture five people were stabbed to death.

In 2010, in northern Tokyo a unemployed man attacked people at a train station wounding 13 people, mostly students, with a knife.

In 2008, in a Tokyo shopping district a man killed three people with his truck, wounded two others, then jumped out and stabbed four people to death, wounding eight.  In an eerily similar connection to U.S. school and movie theater shootings, the suspect’s father was a top manager of a Too Big to Jail financial institution.

In 2001, a former school janitor rampaged through the Ikeda Elementary School stabbing eight children to death and wounded another 13, and two teachers.

False Flag or Incompetence? Evacuation orders issued 2 hours after levees in Japan broke!

13 September 2015 (17:40 UTC-07 Tango 01)/22 Shahrivar 1394/29 Dhu al-Qa’dah 1436/01 Yi-You (8th month) 4713

“The city is completely destroyed, we need people’s help!”-Shinichi Ishizuka

Levees on 14 rivers have failed, 64 rivers are overflowing, warnings of more flooding as weather forecasts predict more tropical rain.

NHK (Nippon Housou Kyoukai/Japan Broadcasting Corporation) reporting that some people in Joso and Osaki cities were notified two hours after levees broke, some people were never notified!  City administrators admitted their disaster command centers were overwhelmed and they might have forgotten to warn some residents.  It’s interesting that those residents just happen to be living right next to the breaks that formed in the levees.

Administrators in Joso revealed that their information about flooding was actually coming from areas of the city that were already flooding, in other words they had no warnings before hand.

Administrators in Osaki revealed idiocy on their part when they admitted they held back on evacuation orders because they felt it was too dangerous to evacuate a city at night time!

At least seven people killed, at least 15 missing.  Reports say there are many people still stranded by the floods.

Concerning the massive flooding from the Kinugawa River near Joso, the mayor of neighboring Bando city blames the flooding on a solar power construction project.  Mayor Eiichi Yoshihara revealed that last year a two meters high, 150 meters long section of dirt was removed from a section of the levee, as part of the construction project.  City administrators said that section of the levee actually built-up naturally over time and is considered private property, so they have no authority over it.  Still, some sandbags were placed in the area in July of 2014.

Local news reports revealed that Joso residents assumed the naturally built-up section of levee was part of the city’s flood control authority.

At the ongoing nuclear disaster reactors of Fukushima Daiichi, giant bags filled with nuclear waste were washed away.  82 giant nuke waste bags were found, 32 recovered, but administrators with Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo) admit the do not know how many were floated away by the flood.

Record rain pounds Japan! Study says climate change can’t be stopped by humans!

United States: “The change is being pushed by a group of pro-nuclear fanatics — there is really no other way to describe them. If implemented, the hormesis model would result in needless death and misery.”-Michael Mariotte,  Nuclear Information and Resource Service (NIRS)

Washington DC: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission wants to eliminate the Linear No-Threshold (LNT) basis of radiation protection.  In other words they want to greatly increase the amount of radiation exposure per person before the government would consider it officially as ‘contamination’!

Kansas: Speaking of exposure, local news reports say about a dozen University of Tulsa’s North Campus researchers were bused to Burlington to be tested for radiation exposure, caused by a cesium 137 spill that occurred last year!

California: Once again, helicopters were seen flying low over the San Francisco bay area, and yes it was confirmed they were checking the air for radiation levels. 

UC San Francisco: Genetic Makeup May Make Radiation Riskier for Pediatric Cancer Patients

Idaho: The federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission investigating a company called International Isotopes after an employee was sent to an Idaho Falls hospital for being exposed to more than a years worth of radiation.  Reports say contaminated items fell out of their protective container and the employee picked up the items thus contaminating himself.

The city of Hailey unanimously adopted a resolution opposing anymore nuke waste shipments to Idaho.  Gov’na Butch Otter, with the support of Senators, is waving an agreement between the state and federal Department of Energy banning nuclear waste shipments to The Gem State, in the name of making money (about $20-million USD) for the economically strapped state: “I think Senator Risch’s opinion was, and appears to be, that the economics of the INL [Idaho National Laboratory] are more important than the removal of dangerous nuclear waste that could contaminate the East Snake Aquifer.”-Fritz Haemmerle, mayor

Missouri: “Radiation from the West Lake Landfill in Bridgeton has spread to neighboring properties. That’s according to reports released on Thursday by Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster.”

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (evil DARPA) unveiled a new crowd sourcing radiation detector.  

Texas: Researchers with Chrysalis BioTherapeutics claim their new drug Chrysalis can stop radiation poisoning: “Because radiation-induced damage to the intestines plays such a key role in how well a person recovers from radiation exposure, it’s crucial to develop novel medications capable of preventing GI damage.”-Darrell Carney, University of Texas Medical Branch and ceo of Chrysalis BioTherapeutics

New Mexico:  NASA has, in a round-a-bout way admitted that they really don’t know how much radiation you’re exposed to when you fly on an airliner.  At Fort Sumner, NASA launch a high altitude balloon to test just how much radiation you’re exposed to when flying around the world. 

The shenanigans at WIPP (Waste Isolation Pilot Project) continue.  There was debate on whether three tonnes (metric tons) of weapons grade plutonium should be stored at the disaster site, until it was revealed that “The reality is that about 3 metric tons of down-blended weapons grade plutonium has already been disposed of at WIPP. As Bill Richardson knows, because it was completed while he was Secretary of Energy.”, according to Carlsbad Mayor Dale Janway.

New York: I’ve got relatives who went through radiation treatment for their cancers, only to have the tumors get bigger, which backs up my argument that treating cancer with radiation is like treating a gunshot wound by pumping a few more bullets into it.  Now there’s yet another study that backs me up.  “…radiotherapy may actually be making it easier for some skin cancer tumors to return and prosper. This may happen, they found, because the applied radiation causes a suppression of the immune system in the area being targeted.”

Japan: In Fukushima Prefecture two tropical storms caused record level rain, flooding hundreds of tons of radiation from Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster reactors into the Pacific Ocean, according to Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo).

The flooding also damaged thousands of homes and apartments across eastern Japan, which comes at a time when a new study admits that the people forced to flee their homes after the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi explosions were not given adequate temporary housing, and that there still isn’t enough temp housing (four years on) for the people who cannot return to their homes due to radiation levels.

Iran’s Petroleum Ministry reports that Japan will increase oil shipments to 350-thousand barrels per day.  This is the result of meetings with a delegation of representatives of 21 Japanese companies currently in Iran to discuss oil shipments.

It was also revealed that Japan has been importing Iranian oil despite U.S. led sanctions (Japan was officially excused from those sanctions by Barack Obama).  In July they imported 158-thousand barrels per day from Iran,  a 22% increase from July 2014.
