Govt holding radiation data back / IAEA gets info, but public doesn't
The 2 key pieces in this article from Japan:


"The Meteorological Agency has been withholding forecasts on dispersal of radioactive substances from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant despite making the forecasts every day, it was learned Monday.
The agency is making daily forecasts at the request of the International Atomic Energy Agency. When contamination by radioactive substances across national borders is feared, weather organizations of the member nations cooperate to make forecasts on possible migration of the substances."

"However, the agency has only been reporting the forecasts to the IAEA and not releasing them to the public at home."

Orwell was a prophet.

WAR is PEACE

Ignorance is Strength


We have always been at WAR with EastAsia.
