Thank you/What's the Need Israel Trying to Meet?

Susan Livingstone, co-participant from Leadership program of NVC, really worked wholeheartedly to organize two events that I wanted to do for BayNVC. Thank you Susan and her friends who made these events possible. I think it has had some positive effect.

Below are some photos from Red Victorian where I talked and then played some music with Gen and Shigeko.

In my talk, I touched upon our organic farm, our sustainable simple life, The Department of Peace, Depleted Uranium, Article 9, The War on Terror and 911, Dennis Kucinich and on the need for each of us to be the MEDIA.

BUT......

My happy day suddenly ended with sad news that I need to find out more about. I am asking myself and co-participants of Leadership Program What's the core need of Israel trying to meet by those actions? Security?

Here are some tweets from Twitter:

I can't believe this is happening. Israel opens fire on Gaza flotilla, killing 10. I can't believe this is happening. Israel opens fire on Gaza flotilla, killing 10. http://bit.ly/cBYxEP

♪ Listen to Leuren Moret ♪ - 43 min 05 sec - 10.1 MB

This is what a former US nuclear lab scientist has to tell you. It is amazing what Leuren Moret says. She visited Japan for a month during September and October and gave many talks throughout Japan. This podcast covers some main points she talked about in her lectures.

She said this tour was her best ever. What she says is hard to believe as no one else is saying what she is saying in Japan, but when you listen to her and look at the data carefully, you will be horrified by the fact that we are already in the middle of a secret NUCLEAR WAR! People, especially children and babies, are already dying in the Middle East and cancer rates are rising worldwide.

We must stop the Rokkasho reprocessing plant in northern Japan soon before we deprive our children of a healthy future.

You can look at her slides from her lectures here. We hope to have English descriptions for each slide, in the near future...

Reopen 911 plus Lecture by Dr. Sternglass and Leuren Moret

Finally, I was able to connect with Jimmy Walter of Reopen 911 last night.

Jimmy Walter

He and William Rodorigues agreed to visit Japan this autumn. We mean to organize the first International Conference on 911 Truth in Japan around that time.

William Rodrigues

I will keep you posted on my blog and Global Peace Campaign HP.

Below are some excerpts from the New York Magazine which should be noted;
*****
For 7 WTC to collapse unaided at that speed, Hoffman says, would mean “its 58 perimeter columns and 47 central columns of structural steel would have to have been shattered at almost the same instant, so unlikely as to be impossible.” What happened at 7 WTC might be the key to the entire mystery of September 11, contends Hoffman.
..
To wit: The IRS, the Department of Defense, and the CIA kept offices on the 25th floor. The Secret Service occupied the ninth and tenth. The Securities and Exchange Commission (home to vast records of bank transactions) was on floors 11 through 13. The 23rd floor was home to Rudy Giuliani’s Office of Emergency Management, his crisis center. If this wasn’t enough, the mortgage of 7 WTC was held by the Blackstone Group, headed by Pete Peterson, chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, stalwart players in any NWO MIHOP. In the 9/11 Truth cosmology, the destruction of 7 World Trade Center is akin to Jack Ruby’s shooting Lee Harvey Oswald. Seven WTC was the home of secrets. It had to go. Central to the scenario is a comment made by Silverstein in a 2002 PBS documentary. “We’ve had such a terrible loss of life,” he quotes himself as saying on 9/11. “Maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it.”

I hope more and more people will face the truth and make decisions according to it.

Here is urgent request from Greenpeace Japan. Rokkasho mura Nuclear Fuel Recycling Plant should be shut down. We have enough radioactivity from the 55 Nuke Power plants in Japan, the 433 worldwide plus the DU dust from Afghanistan and Iraq. Enough! Here are some English pages discussing Rokkasho:

Japan to begin operation of world's most expensive nuclear facility

Rokkasho-mura to be the world’s largest source of radioactive krypton

Wings of Peace - No more Hiroshima, Nagasaki - Stop Rokkasho

Here is a link for the Greenpeace Japanese page.

We also have a lecture by Dr. Sternglass and Leuren Moret in Tokyo on April 2nd at 1:30pm.

Ernest Sternglas

Professor Emeritus of Radiological Physics at the University of Pittsburgh Medical School, Dr. Sternglass has written numerous articles on the health effects of low-level radiation.

His 1981 book Secret Fallout: Low-level Radiation from Hiroshima to Three Mile Island established him as a pioneer in the study of the health effects of low-level radiation.

Lauren Moret

After working 5 years at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and two years at the Livermore nuclear weapons lab, Lauren left Livermore and now dedicates her life to revealing and understanding the actual health effects of radiation exposure. Ms. Moret contributed to a scientific report on depleted uranium to advise the United Nations' subcommission investigating the illegality of depleted uranium munitions. She has also worked extensively with indigenous people contaminated by radiation from the nuclear weapons program, communities in the US and other countries exposed to radiation from related activities, and communities impacted by radiation from nuclear power plants.

Currently Leuren is helping educate the governments and peoples of the world regarding the dangers of depleted uranium being used in the occupation of Iraq, and the very real possibility that this us is in fact a war crime. With graphic photographs and scientific facts, Leuren drives home the terrible effects of this kind of nuclear war.

Lauren Moret testified in June of 2003 in Japan as an expert on depleted uranium at a public hearing for the international war crimes tribunal, trying President Bush for war crimes in Afghanistan. She is active in a tribunal trying him for war crimes in the U.S. military action in Iraq.

All of you who are interested in knowing the truth about low level radiation and the health risk of DU are welcome!

Join us and make sure you pass on the information below:

Date and time: April 1, 1:30-4:30, we will have a dinner together after the lecture.
Place: Campus Innovation Center, JR Tamachi Station, East Exit.
Map:　http://www.ccr.chiba-u.jp/forum/tamachi_l.jpg
Fee: 1000 yen. The lecture will be in English with Japanese translation by myself and Gen Morita.

DU Covered in Texan Paper

Take a look at this!!
http://lonestaricon.com/2006/Archives/09/index.htm

Leuren Moret and Dr. Ernest Sternglass are featured in this issue of this Texas paper that is devoted to exposing the dangers of Depleted Uranium (DU). Right now Lauren and Ernest are in Japan, touring and visiting with many activists, as well as giving talks in Tokyo, Kobe, Nagoya, Gifu, Shizuoka, Aomori, etc. We will interview them soon and upload the interview on our Podcast so you can hear directly from them about DU.

In the meantime, please take a look at what they have to say in the paper. These important facts have been hidden from us by the government and media. Get yourself up to speed on DU and its dangers...

Is Japan polluted by DU dust from Iraq? I do believe so. It was blown over to England in a week or so, and there is no reason to believe it should stop there. It keeps traveling and I imagine it is now spread all over this planet.

How can we protect us and our children from it? Doctors say it is best to avoid drinking milk or eating any milk products. I would add meat to their recommendations too, as foods high on the food chain naturally accumulate more radioactive elements.

What a world we are creating! But we still live today and will live tomorrow. We have to do something about it as soon as possible or we will make this planet inhabitable.

Chat with Robin Taubenfeld

Robin visited our home in Kamogawa from Brisbane, Australia where she now campaigns against food irradiation and nuclear development, including uranium mining. She was born in Texas and currently resides in Australia where she loves the nature. I met Robin early this year when we were showing the film 911 In Plane Site in various parts of the east coast of Australia.

How can we help each other to create a peaceful and sustainable planet? She says it starts at home. I think so, too.

♪ Another Hibakusha (radiation victim): Dennis Kyne ♪ - 8 min 53 sec - 2.1MB

Gen is now in San Francisco and just met Dennis Kyne. He is another veteran from the first Gulf War and is suffering from the effects of Depleted Uranium (DU). Dennis was in the US Army for the Desert Storm operation in 1991. He became ill without knowing what the cause was.

http://www.denniskyne.com/

After he met Leuren Moret, an independent scientist who works on
radiation and public health issues with communities around the world, he started learning about DU, especially low level radiation and its affects on human beings.

He now is a great activist, advocating for the medical treatment of all the soldiers suffering from DU by the US government. He is constantly threatened and harrassed, etc, but he will not stop until he gets a positive result for all the people suffering from this deadly banned weapon.

We must stop the use of these illegal DU weapons. For that, working along with soldiers like Dennis and Gerald Matthew is very a important thing.

Dennis Kyne with Cindy Sheehan in Crawford Texas. You can see in his hands a copy of the DVD Beyond Treason as Dennis passes it along to Cindy. This award winning documentary has been entered in many film festivals. Dennis is featured in this film which was previewed at Camp Casey in Crawford, Texas.

♪ DU and Gerald, Janis and Victoria Matthew! ♪ - 12 min 33 sec - 2.9MB

Today I had an opportunity to meet with Gerald and Janis Matthew and interpreted for them. They are visiting Japan from the US to inform the Japanese public and military of what has happened to him and their daughter after he went to Iraq as a US soldier. He was a driver for US Army carrying destroyed equipment and trucks, mostly of Iraqi origin, that was being moved from southern Iraq to Kuwait.

After he was discharged from the military, his wife got pregnant and their daughter was born missing three fingers on her right hand. He didn’t supect anything till doctor asked him if he was ever exposed to any chemical or radioactive materials. At that time, he had no idea if he had been or not.

However, not long after that he found out about DU (depleted uranium) and from that time on his wife started speaking out! Following her courageous lead, Gerald decided to reveal truth to help save not only his daughter but also all the other children affected by the radiation resulting from DU. He now advocates the total elimination of DU type weapons.

I was very moved by their story, especially when they talked about Victoria who is now 17 months old. It was amazing to see her come to her dad and hold his leg tight whenever he got upset or angry about the situation (especially when people asked questions about her missing fingers or when they stared at her hand out of curiosity). He now has started controlling his anger even though his symptoms are getting worse: his has migraines, swelling of his face and body, burning sensations, numbness, blurred vision, coughing, and more...

He is a fighter, and so is his daughter Victoria, Janise says. She wants her to grow up strong and to overcome the disability she has been born with. Please listen to what they have to say if you can!

They will be speaking at Meiji Gakuin University from 6:45pm to 8:45, on Monday, Nov.7. in Shirogane, Tokyo. Hope you do not miss this opportunity to meet and listen to them.
