No, it is a really bad idea. I am speechless. hmm, I smell something, this is the perfect news to cover up the whole nuclear situation in the global scale... sigh :/

 

[loreta]

This is incredible. Madrid was not a good idea, also. But maybe better than Tokyo. Anyway, those Games are so ridiculous.

I don't know how Japanese people feel about all this, I only know that I felt relieved when the government of the time decided of not candidate our country for the organization of 2020 Olympic games.

Is choosing where they will host the Olympics often a wise decision?
They had the 2004 Olympics in Greece, and Greece spent a bundle of money on building stadiums that are now abandoned.
They had the 2008 Olympics in China, despite the Chinese Government around that time and since having some real problems with human rights of Tibetans, Uighurs, Falun Gong practitioners, and political dissidents.
When they had the 2010 Commonwealth Games in India, they bulldozed slums to tidy up New Delhi beforehand.

:( yes this is really sad, to see the situation in Fukushima district, struggling the familys with children on the daily basis. The Fukushima dai ichi which is only 250 km from Tokio. The covering the news and lying about everything in the public, later claiming there was a problem with.
Also to listen to the teachers in the teachers room talking about the Olympics " I had tears in my eyes this morning" without having no tears for children with thyroid cancer living around Fukushima, without any chance to be moved out of the danger zone, no spending money for them, but having thoughts to go to Tokio for the olimpic games.
This is a pain to my ear, and I want to screem it out loud, to bring the message.

Forgot to add, I think this voting for Tokio was just made with lot of money, paid by jap. Government to bring more foreigners back to land.

Edit: last sentence.

Big Haiden. I know how you feel. I've been through the similar situation while living in Kiev, Ukraine after Chernobyl accident. In the first days after the accident, when the people weren't even properly informed about it and the situation at the nuclear plant was critical (the reactor was about to blow up as in nuclear explosion), there was the International bicycle race (!) right in the center of the city (Kiev is only 90 km from Pripyat, where Chernobyl plant is located). And when informed, many people had the same attitude as you described in your post. It made me feel so sad and angry.

Haiden, I wish you well, and please take care of yourself. I also want to express my gratitude to you for the work you're doing in your blog documenting the environmental changes and for keeping us informed.

I hope you don't mind me asking if you've heard the rumors (or maybe, you know some facts) that the Japanese government stepped in recently and took some measures at Fukushima plant or is it still only TEPCO that is in charge there?

I hope your voice, Kaigen, and those of others like you can be heard through the noise generated by this news. It seems that Tokyo invested more money than Madrid to organize these games, to cover up what could make them lose power or what they can not handle. "Good luck" for Japanese businessmen and politicians and bad luck for the Spanish ones. And normal people suffering everywhere alike. A big hug Kaigen.

 

[Kaigen]

Thanks a lot olesya and I adf. We try to generate wave on Facebook with groups like Fukushima children and many more. As I remember Tepco was nationalized last year, but since then, they do less to protect the public from the radiation, they do the opposite.

The very idea that Tokyo would be even allowed to hold the Olympics is is honestly appalling and insane!
If I were an athlete, I would NOT want to compete there! And those that do choose to compete in this Laboratory Olympics and were to win, how long would it be before they get sick and die? I can not even imagine it to be worth it. I hope most if not a large majority have the sense to refuse to compete there!

As though this were not a shock for me to hear of back in August, that they want to make the Fukushima site into a tourist attraction for people to visit?! :O http://www.sott.net/article/265115-You-re-kidding-Fukushima-nuclear-plant-to-become-tourist-attraction

As far as I know, the Japanese government has involved and they are in charge of the disaster from the day one. Just after the earthquake, the government has established the Nuclear Emergency Response Headquarters on March 12th. I would say the government IS the big problem and is responsible of this horrible disaster, as the Japanese Atomic Energy commission has pushed the nuclear development forward for a long time. As the result, they succeeded in building 52 nuclear plants on such a highly seismic country and let a couple of them to blow up.

So the government and TEPCO have been part of the clean up and handling their mess, but they are really doing the bad job as you can see. Actually, the government-TEPCO-media companies are all tied in together like a big monster. Although TEPCO and some Japanese media companies like Yomiuri, Asahi, Mainichi etc. are private companies, the core group of people in charge are the part of the Nuclear Power Village - strongly connected to the government. This is bad enough, but in addition to this, United States and PTB is behind the scenes controlling Japan, telling its people what to do and where to go. Right now, once again we have got a puppet of Obama - Abe - as a prime minister. My concern is if he is going to change the 9th article of the Constitution and push Japan to involve in the war in the Middle East even more than ever before...that is going to be really bad, all hell breaks loose.

I think before this going to happen, they need to fabrics some false flag operation or some kind of conflict with china to push it on people. Seams nobody care in Japan, as the election of Abe was the lowest voting I ever heard. I don't remember well but it was something about 30% of the voters. So nothing really surprise me here anymore.

Thank you Aya and Kagen for your input. :)

Possibly, it seems like America's intention from the beginning to make sure that Japan keeps conflict with other countries. Look how they have set up situations to fight over the islands between Japan and surrounded countries, in order to make sure that Japan chained to America and stay royal: Kunashiri-island and Etorofu-Island over Russia, Takeshima-island over Korea, and Senkaku-islands over China. Japan wanted to settle the conflict on the islands over Russia a long time ago, but America threatened to take over Okinawa-island if Japan had given up the two islands.

Seams nobody care in Japan, as the election of Abe was the lowest voting I ever heard. I don't remember well but it was something about 30% of the voters. So nothing really surprise me here anymore.

I think a lot of people do care, but they are afraid to speak up. It is our culture for most people to blend in and not to stir or cause troubles in the community. I am sure that you know what I mean, a lot of Japanese people have a fear to be "different".
As for voting, our votes do not directly influence who gets to be the prime minister as it is decided by the members of Parliament, so the election is really just a show osit.

Well, putting it that way, not is not. That's what happend in Guadalajara's with the last Pan American Games, the city is in debt, athletes buildings deserted, corruption, enrichment of few, etc ... the usual _http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_American_Games I was thinking of what is happening in Fukushima nowadays.
