(NaturalNews) The following is a first-person account of the attempt by the Japanese government to brainwash victims of Fukushima radiation poisoning into believing radiation would not harm them if they simply "smile." Natural News is the first U.S. news source to publish this account in English. The name of the original author is Uwamae Masako, who now lives in Taiwan after escaping Fukushima and leaving behind many friends and family members.

As you'll see below, the Japanese government's Fukushima Radiation Health Risk Advisor uses a hypnotic, droning speech pattern to try to convince his audience of absolutely bizarre quack science beliefs like "people who drink aren't affected by radiation" or that "laughter will remove your radiation phobia."

What follows is a true, firsthand account...

I'm a mother who has two kids. I lived in Koriyama, Fukushima. When the earthquake happened, I heard from the radio that the nuclear plant exploded. "We can't go back to Koriyama anymore," was the first thought came to my mind. Sendai, where my husband worked, was not a safe place, either. Although the distance between the nuclear plant and Sendai is about 120 km, the wind direction made it not safe there.

After the electric power was restored, we watched TV. A famous professor repeatedly talked about how the nuclear plant functioned, and our government also said that there was no direct effect, but I felt uneasy. The danger of the third reactor is different from others, because it generates power from MOX ( mixed plutonium and uranium oxide) fuel. If the plutonium diffuses, it will be extremely dangerous -- it will make a lot of people die even if the diffuse amount is as little as one teaspoon.

None of this information was reported on TV, so many Japanese didn't know it. I knew it only because I had a friend who was devoted to being against MOX fuel. It was terrible that information like this couldn't be broadcast on TV, so I took my two kids to run away to my parents' place -- Kyoto.

Many people thought that as long as we stayed 10 km away from the nuclear plant, it was safe enough, but those big US corporations actually asked for their people who were within 80 km (even 100 km) to evacuate. The Fukushima government had possession of the forecast chart of radiation levels in the air, but they didn't publish them. On the contrary, they held a speaking tour to advocate that there was no need to worry about radiation.

Unfortunately, I couldn't make my friends who lived there understand how dangerous it was. Many residents listened to the government, who claimed that people could live there without problems and enjoy outdoor activities as usual. Therefore, many residents gave up the idea of escaping from Fukushima [and continued to live there].

The expert (Dr. Yamashita) even said that radiation wouldn't affect happy people. Many people believed him, because he is from Nagasaki, which had suffered from the radiation of the atomic bomb. They thought that he should know more about radiation due to his background. However, the exposure to radiation is more complicated than you can imagine. The more serious problems included eating food that had been exposed to radiation. It was just like letting your internal organs be exposed to radiation.

After the explosion, I came back to our home several times - with a hat and mask. Even if I stayed there for a short time, I felt like I had a headache. Once I left there, I abandoned all the clothes and shoes I had been wearing. Before arriving at the refuge, I also washed my car. Three months after the explosion, my friend who lived there told me that many kids there experienced serious nosebleeds and other symptoms like incessant diarrhea, chest pain, recurrent headaches and more severe allergies. Their faces were as red as if they had been sunburned and their vision became poor... After the explosion, more and more residents got sick.

Up to now, I've had three Fukushima friends who died in the prime of life because of myocardial infarction. A junior high school student also died because of acute leukemia. The Japanese government didn't ask for local residents to evacuate, but instead paid them to dig, mow, cut down trees and clean buildings with water. These actions couldn't help much, because the contaminated soil was not removed, and when you burned the grass and trees, it resulted in radiation being transferred to smaller particles which then accumulated in the environment. Needless to say, many people died because they did "the cleaning".

It was a tough situation, because the key information was being concealed completely. Even now some people still don't understand. Some of them wanted to run away, but in the end they gave up due to disagreements between family members. (Many couples divorced due to reasons like this.) Some people felt they could do nothing and tried to escape from the reality. Also, many people didn't have money to move away. I gave up my friends and my job, even my home, because I knew no matter how cautious I was, I couldn't avoid coming into contact with contaminated water, land and air, so the only thing I could do was to be far away from my home.


We finally came to Taiwan because contaminated food was everywhere in Japan, even in kids' school lunches. The debris was transported to burn in Kansai. Kansai received compensation for this, but, at the same time, local residents were harmed.

Japanese TV news deceived people, saying that the rising radiation levels were because of atmospheric pollution coming from China. I wanted to protect the lives and future of my children and myself, so I decided to move away from Japan. Everything can be regained, but lost lives cannot.

I truly hope that Taiwan won't be like Japan. People need to have a greater understanding of nuclear power before they can make the right decisions and take proper action. Then we can protect our beloved family. In order to protect them, I would like to promote the idea of anti-nuclear power to all Taiwanese.

Watch the Japanese propaganda video that promises radiation won't harm you if you just "laugh"

Natural News searched for and found the Japanese propaganda brainwashing video mentioned above. It is a video of Dr. Shunichi Yamashita -- now known as "Dr. Brainwasher" -- giving a propaganda lecture on March 21, 2011 in Fukushima City.

And again, history repeats itself. The claim that drinking alcoholic beverages protects from radiation poisoning is a lie, when the opposite is true, because drinking weakens liver function and impairs thinking ( very convenient for the government, I might say), and it's not new. The same thing was done in Ukraine after Chernobyl plant accident in 1986. The stores were flooded with all kinds of red wine (fortified with sugar). People started drinking more than usual and the stench of alcohol in public transportation was absolutely unbearable.

What this woman describes in her personal testimony is very similar to what I saw and experienced living in Kiev, Ukraine after Chernobyl plant accident. People were lied about everything. At first, the news of the accident was announced in the newspapers in a very casual way and not on April 26 or 27, but a couple of days later. Even then, it wasn't made clear by the government how serious this accident was. Only a week later or so, after May Day holidays when people went to the beaches, dachas or camping in the woods, it was announced on TV after which people began panicking and women and children started to leave town... without any governments help, I might add.

The attempts to warn others were fruitless, especially, in the beginning. People started to panic only when government announced warnings on TV.

The claim that ""laughter will remove your radiation phobia" is new to me. Well, it probably wouldn't have worked on Russians/Ukrainians anyway :) that's why it wasn't used.
