Abstract
The Great East Japan Earthquake off the Pacific March11, 2011 coast of Tohoku Earthquake
changed our thinking about the safe nuclear energy and nuclear power plants and opened the doubts
and threatens. After the year since that tragic disaster The Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent
Investigation Commission publised it’s report. They said the nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi
power plant in Japan was a "man-made disaster" or “Japan made” that unfolded as a result of collusion
between the facility's operator, regulators and the government, an independent panel said in an
unusually frank report. Also the report mentioned about the culture of neglictans which seems to be
characteristic for Japan.
The paper considers the report and some other problems increased cause of earthquake and
tsunami damaged of nuclear reactors in Fukushima Daiichi. The Fukushima radiation leak is a soft-kill
operation against the people and ecosystem. The results have the apocalyptic dimensions
and unforeseen consequences for the global life.
Key words: natural disasters, technological disasters, cultre of neglect, radioactive hazards,

Introduction – One Year Since the Japanise Appocalypse
Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission
The 2011 earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tōhoku (Tōhoku-chihō Taiheiyō Oki Jishin was a
magnitude 9.0 (Mw) undersea mega thrust earthquake off the coast of Japan that occurred on 11 of
March 2011, with the epicenter approximately 70 kilometers (43 mi) east of the Oshika Peninsula of
Tōhoku and the hypocenter at an underwater depth of approximately 32 km (20 mi), was the most
powerful known earthquake ever to have hit Japan, and one of the five most powerful earthquakes in
the world since modern record-keeping began in 1900. The earthquake triggered powerful tsunami
waves that reached heights of up to 40.5 meters (133 ft) and which travelled up to 10 km (6 mi)
inland (1).
The tsunami caused a number of nuclear accidents, primarily the ongoing level 7 meltdowns at
three reactors in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant complex, (at least four) and the
associated evacuation zones affecting hundreds of thousands of residents. Many electrical generators
were taken down, and at least three nuclear reactors suffered explosions due to hydrogen gas that had
built up within their outer containment buildings after cooling system failure. Residents within a 20
km (12 mi) radius of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant and a 10 km (6.2 mi) radius of the
Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Plant were evacuated. The Great East Japan Earthquake off the
Pacific coast was the most powerful known earthquake to have hit Japan, and one of the five most
powerful earthquakes in the world overall since modern record-keeping began in 1900 (2).
170
The world`s worst nuclear disaster in a quarter center could have been avoided: that is according
to a new Japanese investigation. The tsunami that hit Japan in 2011 killed more than 15,000 people;
the cooling system at one of the Fukushima Daiichi reactors failed, the ensuing fallout was categorized
as bad as Chernobyl. And it saw 200,000 people being forced to evacuate. The estimated clean-up
costs anything up to 250 billion US dollars (8).
After the year since the beginning of the Japan’s Appocalypse was published the report by the
Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission, which outlines errors and
willful negligence at the plant before the earthquake and tsunami that devastated swaths of
northeastern Japan on March 11, 2011 and a flawed response in the hours, days and weeks that
followed.
Fukushima Nuclear Disaster Was “Man-Made” or “Made in Japan”
The nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant in Japan was a "man-made disaster"
that unfolded as a result of collusion between the facility's operator, regulators and the government, an
independent panel said in an unusually frank report of FNAIIC.

The 641-page report, based on more 900 hours of interviews with 1,167 people, found that the
nuclear power plant was already in vulnerable conditions before the earthquake and tsunami hit.
The commission suggested that the reactors may have been damaged by the 9.0-magnitude quake,
contrary to previous claims that the disaster was the result of the tsunami.
The crippled Fukushima Daiichi plant spewed radiation and displaced tens of thousands of
residents from the surrounding area in the worst nuclear accident since the 1986 Chernobyl disaster in
Ukraine (7). Commissioned by the national parliament, the panel's report tellingly blames Japanese
culture for the fundamental causes of the disaster. As well as detailing the specific failings related to
the accident, the report describes a Japan in which nuclear power became "an unstoppable force,
immune to scrutiny by civil society … Its regulation was entrusted to the same government
bureaucracy responsible for its promotion", the commission reported (32).
Contradicting claims by Tokyo Electric Power Corporation TEPCO, the operator of the plant,
the report said that "the direct causes of the accident were all foreseeable prior to March 11, 2011"
The operator, regulators and the government "failed to correctly develop the most basic safety
requirements - such as assessing the probability of damage, preparing for containing collateral damage
from such a disaster, and developing evacuation plans," the commission said. Fukushima plant
operator: We weren't prepared for nuclear accident.
Tokyo Electric Power Company is the fourth largest electric power company in the world and
the largest from Asia. TEPCO has one-third of the Japanese electric market and is the largest of the 10
electric utilities in Japan. Therefore, TEPCO is really a state-endorsed monopoly that has a great deal
of control over the Japanese government and political puppets the world-over. Considering profits and
public harm it is clear that the leadership of TEPCO, the owner and operator of the Fukushima nuclear
facility, cares more about preserving its income-generating assets than killing its workers and others
from radioactive fallout.
171
Following the quake and tsunami, the lack of training and knowledge of the TEPCO workers at
the facility reduced the effectiveness of the response to the situation at a critical time, according to the
report. As the crisis escalated, TEPCO, the regulators, government agencies and the prime minister's
office were ineffective in "preventing or limiting the consequential damage" at Fukushima Daiichi, the
commission said. The report's authors, leding by Kiyoshi Kurokawa, a former president of the Science
Council of Japan, a medical doctor and professor emeritus at Tokyo University, said the crisis was the
result of "a multitude of errors and willful negligence", by the government, safety officials and the
plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power and attributed the failings at the plant before and after March
11, specifically to Japanese culture.

Cultural traits of Japan at heart of Fukushima Nuclear Disaster
Report preface states that conventions such as insularity and a reluctance to question authority
were partly to blame for the disaster. Misplaced deference and other "ingrained conventions" of
Japanese culture were at the heart of meltdown at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, according
to the chairman of an independent panel, described the accident as a "profoundly man-made disaster"
(20). According to Kurokawa, behind the safety missteps and lack of readiness for a tsunami in
a region known for powerful earthquakes are cultural traits that ensured the disaster was "made in
Japan" (17). "Its fundamental causes are to be found in the ingrained conventions of Japanese culture:
our reflexive obedience; our reluctance to question authority; our devotion to 'sticking with the
program'; our groupism; and our insularity…"What must be admitted – very painfully – is that this
was a disaster 'Made in Japan'…Its fundamental causes are to be found in the ingrained conventions of
Japanese culture: our reflexive obedience; our reluctance to question authority; our devotion to
'sticking with the program.'”. The commission believes that the root causes were the organizational
and regulatory systems that supported faulty rationales for decisions and actions, rather than issues
relating to the competency of any specific individual. Across the board, the commission found
ignorance and arrogance unforgivable for anyone or any organization that deals with nuclear power.
“We found a disregard for global trends and a disregard for public safety" claimed Kurokawa.
The report was published on the same day a nuclear reactor in western Japan became the first to
produce electricity since the accident.
All of the country's 50 functioning reactors had been switched off after the crisis to undergo
safety checks. Japan, which once depended on nuclear power for about a third of its energy supply,
was briefly without atomic power for the first time in more than 40 years. Contrary the report contrasts
with a similar investigation by TEPCO in which the utility insisted it had acted appropriately in the
wake of a natural disaster it claimed it could never have predicted. The organization has always
maintained that the damage to four of Fukushima Daiichi's reactors was caused by the tsunami, which
knocked out cooling apparatus and prompted a core meltdown in three of the units. TEPCO was
172
ignoring warnings going as far back as 2006 that a tsunami could cause a blackout at the plant. Since
2006, the regulators and Corporation were aware of the risk that a total outage of electricity at the
Fukushima Daiichi plant might occur if a tsunami were to reach the level of the site.
However the greatest criticism is directed at “a culture in Japan that suppresses dissent and
outside opinion” (24). The chairman of the commission, Kiyoshi Kurokawa, lay fault with Japanese
cultural traditions, criticizing, “our reflexive obedience” and “our reluctance to question authority.”
Japan's atomic accident was due to human error, negligence, and a culture of "reflexive obedience"
(13).

Listing a "multitude of failures and willful negligence" from equipment shortcomings, to
confusion in the chain of command and a catalogue of failings in managing the public evacuation, the
report authors declined to lay blame on any individual. Instead, they said the "catastrophic" negligence
was also a consequence of the Japanese mindset.
The report said that "replacing people or changing the names of institutions will not solve the
problems". Without a fundamental restructuring of the industry and a change of mindset "preventive
measures against future similar accidents will never be complete" (11).
Report preface states that conventions such as insularity and a reluctance to question authority
were partly to blame for incident (17). Misplaced deference and other "ingrained conventions" of
Japanese culture were at the heart of last year's meltdown at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
Japanese Parliamentary Report Blames Japanese Culture for Disaster
As it was written the report takes aim at the heart of Japanese culture saying that "a cultural
aversion to questioning authority" caused the nuclear disaster (14). The commission that wrote the
report says there were errors and negligence before the disaster, which were compounded by all the
mistakes in handling the aftermath. The report is shocking because it flat out blames Japanese cultural
norms, such as obedience to authority and groupism, for the failure to challenge superiors' bad
decisions, secrecy and negligence that were the hallmark of the handling of the disaster. The report has
shocked Japanese citizens, some of whom feel they are being blamed for what happened (17).
Today, a damning independent report did not blame individuals for the Fukushima meltdown; it
had blamed an entire culture. The Fukushima nuclear disaster was caused not just by the 9.0
earthquake or the massive tsunami that followed, but also by a cultural aversion to questioning
authority. According to the findings of an independent commission set up by the Japanese parliament
it was man-made. That view is shared by others.
Sounds like they`re saying the people in charge of the crisis were not wrong, but that all
Japanese are to blame. We might not be able to deny that Japanese culture, which is usually positive,
worked negatively in the crisis. This is not for understanding that the culture was singled out as the
cause of the accident, because it`s not the only cause. The main thrust of the report is still a blistering
criticism of the collusion between the government and the utilities. However, in all fairness it also
173
singles out the defect in the Japanese cultural character. This is a leftover from Confucianism, this idea
that Japan citizens deference to their authorities (23).
The casus of Japan it is that things getting be changed and a paradigm shifted. Before
Fukushima people would simply say the government knows best, the government will always protect
us. Now it`s coming out, the government officials were secretly evacuating their own relatives. Told
the people: “Don`t worry. Everything is OK”. It means a bunch of hypocrites. It why now the Japanese
people are beginning to thinking that perhaps there is room for change, if only they dare to reach out
and grab it.
From the other site it is worthy to point out that Japan sits on top of four tectonic plates (Moret
L.), at the edge of the subduction zone, and is one of the most tectonically active regions in the world.
Many of Japan's nuclear reactors were negligently sited on active faults, where major earthquakes of
magnitude 7-8 or more on the Richter scale frequently occur. On average, a major earthquake occurs
in Japan at least once in a ten-year period. It is not a question of whether or not a nuclear disaster will
occur in Japan; it is a question of when it will occur (25).

Like the former Soviet Union after Chernobyl, Japan will become a country suffering from
radiation sickness destroying future generations, and widespread contamination of agricultural areas
will ensure a public-health disaster. Its economy may never recover. Some authors predicted problems
of cooling Japan’s nuclear reactors in the event of an earthquake (19):
"...there is an extreme danger of an earthquake causing a loss of water coolant in the pools
where spent fuel rods are kept. As reported last year in the journal Science and Global Security, based
on a 2001 study by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, if the heat-removing function of those
pools is seriously compromised -- by, for example, the water in them draining out -- and the fuel rods
heat up enough to combust, the radiation inside them will then be released into the atmosphere."
The article mention above (Moret, 25) is noted that during a nuclear disaster, power plant workers
(such as the Fukushima 50 people), as well as emergency-response personnel would be exposed to
lethal radiation. Japan also lacked plans to evacuate millions of people in such event.
Prior the March 11th Fukushima meltdown, numerous whistle-blowers who publicly spoke-out
about the danger of Japan’s nuclear power plants were ignored and/or fired. Thirty five years ago,
Dale G. Bridenbaugh and two of his colleagues at General Electric, who designed the Fukushima
reactors, resigned from their jobs after becoming convinced that the nuclear reactor design for the
Mark 1 was flawed and could lead to a devastating accident.
Bridenbaugh said that "the problems we identified in 1975 were that, in doing the design of the
containment, they did not take into account the dynamic loads that could be experienced with a loss of
174
coolant . . . The impact loads the containment would receive by this very rapid release of energy could
tear the containment apart and create an uncontrolled release." (22).
Shortcoming of information and transparent program of decontamination and relocation
The report called for measures tackling public health and welfare issues, including the
establishment of a system "to deal with long-term public health effects," monitoring "hot spots" and
"the spread of radioactive contamination." It called for starting "a detailed and transparent program of
decontamination and relocation."
The earthquake and tsunami killed more than 15,000 people in northeastern Japan. The
Fukushima nuclear accident of March 2011 was a “Made in Japan” disaster caused by human error
and negligence, a Japanese parliamentary commission concluded in a report released by the
commision (31).
The Fukushima radiation was polluting air, drinking water, and food supply. Millions of gallons
of radioactive water have been released from the facility into the ocean, which could devastate marine
life. Can the radiation permanently alter our DNA, or that of plants and animals?
Scores of experts and analysts have feared for months that it would happen, and now it has:
Radiation from the heavily damaged nuclear power plants at Japan's Fukushima complex has made it
into the seafood chain off the coast of America (13).
Recent headlines focusing on results of the Fukushima Disaster with increasing problems
almost every day include as examples below:
• Radioactive buckyballs from Fukushima invade California beaches – 17.6.2012- from Japan's
tsunami-damaged nuclear reactors at its Fukushima complex continues to worsen, scientists are
concerned about another related phenomenon – buckyballs that appears the U.S. West Coast;
• The next catastrophic nuclear reactor core meltdown is much more likely than you suspect –

previously believed, much higher as in Charnobyl;
• Fukushima radiation now detected in the U.S. food supply – 30.5.2012 - Scores of experts and
analysts have feared for months that it would happen, and now it has: Radiation from the

•
Death Estimates (5): the numbers, from reputable scientists, are that Fukushima is going to kill
200,000 from increased cancers over the next 50 years. Likewise, states that 400,000 people
will develop cancer within a 200 kilometer radius of Fukushima (8). It is most required that
TEPCO and the Japanese government were criminally negligent for failing to inform the public
of the true danger.
Public Nuisance
According to the “a public nuisance occurs when somebody unreasonably interferes with a right
common to the general public, or does something that endangers or causes great injury to life, health
or property.”(6). The Attorney General’s website focuses on the fake Club of Rome created nuisance
of man-made global warming rather than prosecuting TEPCO for the nuisance of radiating world’s
citizens. Fukushima radiation has arrived, for ex. in California and across the United States, with San
Francisco tap water radiation 18,100% above the drinking water limit.
Any involvement of HAARP Program in the Disaster Background?
The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) (15) is an ionospheric
research program jointly funded by the US Air Force, the US Navy, the University of Alaska and the
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) (9). Its purpose is to analyze the ionosphere
and investigate the potential for developing ionospheric enhancement technology for radio
communications and surveillance purposes. Therefore, given the nature of the New World Order
globalists, there is definitely a possibility that the Japan earthquake and nuclear crisis resulted from
tectonic warfare.
Photo 4. & 5. The main side of HAARP and unusual aurora
http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/images/hpimage.jpg
The Japan earthquake, regarding to some independent scientists (Moret, 25) might be triggered
by a HAARP aerosol/chemtrails plasma weapon (27). These hypotheses are supported by the research
of one of the world’s foremost experts on the global covert spraying of aerosols (chemtrails)
(Cornicom, 32). Carnicom and Moret know that covert aerosol-spraying operations have transformed
the Earth’s atmosphere into plasma for carrying out weaponized applications such as tectonic
(earthquake) warfare. Additionally, there is substantial evidence that HAARP was active before and
during the March 11th earthquake. HAARP on April 7th, a 7.4 earthquake aftershock struck 25 miles
of the Japanese coast. During the quake, there was a strange blue light show, which has been referred
176
to as an “earthquake light.” These lights might caused by HAARP or a similar program tampering
with the ionosphere.
Based on NASA, a possible explanation for earthquake lights is local disruption of the Earth's
magnetic field and/or ionosphere in the region of tectonic stress, resulting in the observed glow effects
either from ionospheric radiative recombination at lower altitudes and greater atmospheric pressure or
as aurora, what was achieved by HAARP evidently.
Could be the Fukushima Disaster a “nuclear war without a war”?

More the one year ago (March, 11, 2012) the massive 9.0-plus magnitude earthquake and
corresponding tsunami devastated the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on the eastern coast of
Japan, sending untold amounts of nuclear radiation into the environment. The threat of nuclear fallout
is ever-present all around the world in what some have described as a "nuclear war without a war."
Though the devastation was not delivered in one fellswoop via an atomic or nuclear bomb (NUCK).
Radioactive elements from Fukushima continue to be quietly delivered through air and ocean currents
to soils, oceans, flora & fauna in any shape, drinking water supplies, farms, lawns, children's
playgrounds, airplanes and countless many other sources. Products made with elements and materials
that have been contaminated with radiation, particularly in Japan, are exposing untold thousands or
millions, of people to dangerous levels of nuclear radiation (17).

the U.S. food supply.

n/Radiation-in-food.jpg
"Hazardous radioactive elements being released in the sea and air around Fukushima
accumulate at each step of various food chains (for example: into algae, crustaceans, small fish, bigger
fish, then humans; or soil, grass, cow's meat and milk, then humans)," writes Helen Caldicott in her
piece, Fukushima: Nuclear Apologists Play Shoot the Messenger on Radiation, in The Age.
177
"Entering the body, these elements - called internal emitters - migrate to specific organs such as
the thyroid, liver, bone, and brain, continuously irradiating small volumes of cells with high doses of
alpha, beta and/or gamma radiation, and over many years often induce cancer."
Seems that the nuclear war, whether intentional or unintentional, has already been waged,
Regardless of whether or not the Fukushima disaster was a natural event or a man-made terrorist
conspiracy, the trigger has been pulled, and the quiet nuclear war has been set in motion. Fukushima's
thousands of exposed fuel rods continue to remain in a precarious plight. Reactor 4 is on the verge of
collapse, and radiation from existing leaks and damage continues to spread.
Politically, the entire nation of Japan is the biggest casualty of this nuclear war so far, as the
country's economy is in dire straits, and on the verge of collapse. Tokyo is reportedly now suffering its
first trade deficit since the 1980s, and the rest of the country's manufacturing base is quickly dwindling
as the world grows increasingly leery of importing goods from Japan that may be contaminated with
Fukushima radiation.
Because no efforts are being made to contain Fukushima, as was done with Chernobyl, the
facility itself is essentially a grounded nuclear weapon that every second of every day is waging war
against Planet Earth. And as far as the human race is concerned, thousands have already died as a
result, with millions more to follow in the years and decades to come as the unrelenting spew of
radiation settles in every crevice of the global ecology, spurring rapid increases in cancer and other
deadly conditions.
Conclusion
The Japanese Parliament and Commission said that even the direct causes of the accident were
all foreseeable, that "failed to correctly develop the most basic safety requirements - such as assessing
the probability of damage, preparing for containing collateral damage from such a disaster, and
developing evacuation plans" and the lack of training and knowledge of the workers at a critical times
the facility reduced the effectiveness of the response to the situation. The operator, regulators and the
government "failed to correctly develop the most basic safety requirements - such as assessing the
probability of damage, preparing for containing collateral damage from such a disaster, and
developing evacuation plans" and according to Fukushima plant operator (TEPCO), they have not had
been prepared for nuclear accident. Additionally the commission believes that the root causes were the
organizational and regulatory systems that supported faulty rationales for decisions and actions, rather
than issues relating to the competency of any specific individual.
From the other hand across the board, the commission found ignorance and arrogance
unforgivable for anyone or any organization that deals with nuclear power. They found a disregard for
global trends and a disregard for public safety, not preventing or limiting the consequential damage.
The firm, regulators and the government had failed to correctly develop the most basic safety
requirements, such as assessing the probability of damage, preparing for containing collateral damage
from such a disaster, and developing evacuation plans for the public in the case of a serious radiation
release. Looks like TEPCO and the corporate-controlled Japanese and U.S. governments would rather
allow toxic radiation to spread than to save hundreds of thousands, if not millions of lives (10).
However the report urged citizens to reflect on own responsibility as individuals in a democratic
society, adding that the fault lay with Japanese cultural traditions, criticizing Japan’s reflexive
obedience and their reluctance to question authority.
Hard to agree and believe that it was an accident or the foul is connected with Japanese culture
of neglect. That way the Japanese citizens, and everyone else, would think Japan has a monopoly on
lethal ineptitude. Collusion between government and industry is a real threat in many nations around
the world, and it is dangerous to assume that what happened at Fukushima could not happen anywhere
else. The results have the Apocalyptic dimensions and unforeseen consequences for the global life.
The Fukushima radiation leak is a soft-kill operation against the people and ecosystem.
