Japan has banned all its government agencies, including its nuclear regulatory and protection agencies, from issuing any statements about the nuclear crisis situation in Japan, according to Yochi Shimatsu, former editor of the Japan Times.
Statements will only be issued from the senior level of the Japanese government.
"Article 15" is an article unfamiliar to most Japanese, including most Japanese journalists. It is apparently an emergency regulatory clause that allows the senior levels of the Japanese government to stop other Japanese government agencies from communicating with the public and news media.
Follow radiation levels in the United States, here.
I imagine this will be considered bullish, somehow.
ReplyDeleteThe disconnect between underplayed Japanese accounts of the nuclear threat and perhaps (but not necessarily) overplayed accounts nearly everywhere else has already rightfully unnerved the locals in Tokyo. This ought only to accelerate the exodus. Another stunning failure of the state and its lackey media.
ReplyDeleteWho put this wonderful provision in ?

Maybe he is a mind reader.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any verification for this post? Looking to confirm.
ReplyDeleteArticle 15 of WHAT? Not the Japanese Constitution, which pertains to other subjects.
ReplyDeleteAs stated in the post, it is a clause in an emergency act not familiar to most Japanese. No one said anything about the Japanese Constitution.
ReplyDeleteAs stated in my post, the source is Yochi Shimatsu, former editor of the Japan Times.
