We have a twofer here since they both involved a media blackout, one from the mainstream media in and out of Japan, and the other on social media continued five days after a major earthquake hit near the Fukushima nuclear plant.
First we will start with a Tokyo mother declares that despite sickness, death and serious radiation symptoms, there is a "total media blackout" on what is actually happening in Japan as a result of the Fukushima nuclear plant meltdown after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami cripple it.
That question and answer from the Cinema Forum Fukushima was published in July and still, the media ignores what is happening.
"In Japan, it’s really a total blackout of media, even though there are lots and lots of people who have been developing symptoms. That information itself cannot come out because of the control of the media and the doctors, like the Society of Medicine in Japan, are denying even now that there have been health damages [...] I just wanted to remind you that this is really a real thing. It’s not only the anxiety, it is happening. I think this is the most important thing. But there are very few people who talk about this […] I was outside on the 15th of March in Tokyo, and then about 1 month later, I had fever of like 103ºF for 8 days. And this [baby] boy, he was totally healthy, now he’s OK, but at the time he had 101ºF fever on and off for 13 times in the duration of 3 months. He had rash all over and he was really, really sick [...] he became real skinny and he stopped growing for 3 or 4 months. It is really happening. I have 2 nodules in my thyroid, and my boy has countless number of minor nodules. So what I wanted to stress most, the most important thing is the symptoms are happening. I want you to know, and I want you to spread this information."
That will be the first video below.
As was reported yesterday, there are also questions as to whether the supposed "live" camera at the fukushima nuclear plant is really live.
Last but definitely not least, BeautifulGirlByDana continues to monitor the web and five days after another 7 plus magnitude earthquake hit near the already devastated nuclear plant, still no verifiable direct social media interaction from Japan.
Dana also brings about the question of the global damage as is clear in the headline of his video "# 2 Fukushima Death Plumes Hitting Canada Tonight & for months ??"
One more quick thought before showing the two videos below.... is it only Japan that has a total media blackout or are governments around the world also hiding the effects from their people and why is the media being complicit and helping them do so?
