Pros and cons about evacuation

 

I was asked if I think the 311 was artificial, but my I answer is I don’t know.
For me, it’s very difficult to believe because Japan is the biggest holder of American national bond like China. Some people call it HAARP but I don’t see any merit of them doing it to. As I always say, America, EU nations and Japan are all tied up and sinking altogether.
but so many things have happened since 311.
Chemical factory’s explosion, meltdown, government’s lie and everything.
so now I don’t feel like assering anything. I just have to say, I don’t know. Whether it was artificial or not, my say doesn’t change. Just escape.

Of course you have lots of troubles when you go out of Japan. Luckily, I don’t have so much problem of money because my host family is really nice and lots of people donate money. and I haven’t had problems of food because I can eat anything. but the problem is the visa and bank.
At least in Europe, you can’t open a bank account without a visa. and nobody wants to accept immigrants, so it’s hard to get a visa.
Basically, to get a visa, you have to submit your passport at the embassy and wait for 2 weeks or one month. Until they give it back to you, you can’t move. I thought that was risk because I didn’t know when I needed to fly out of Japan. so I gave it up and I didn’t trust them at all. Fukushima-Diary is on the black list of a country. Everyone wants to kill me.
so now I’m wandering around. It’s ok for me because I don’t have kids or wife but it would be hard for families.
Now if you try to evacuate, they will speak ill of you. Nobody wants to believe in low dose symptoms.
but it will be clear in 2 or 3 years from now. In Chernobyl, people died. This is the most solid concrete fact.
Even though millions of corrupted scientists say radiation is not harmful, the concrete fact is people died in Chernobyl. When you have cancer or fatigue or cardiac infarct, it’s already too late. You can’t escape with leukemia.
so I think it’s risky for people to stop us evacuating. You may say nothing is going on, yet, but no one can take responsibility in 5 years from now. Even if you are a billionaire, you can’t buy someone’s life for money. At least I wouldn’t give up my life even if someone pays me 1 trillion yen. and most likely, nobody will even give you money.
When the government says you won’t have a cancer from this level of radiation, it means, they won’t admit it because of radiation even if you have cancer, they won’t compensate.
Japanese like, Everyone, let’s do it everyone, everyone, everyone, with everyone. They say when you die, everyone would die together so it won’t matter.
I can’t believe but not small number of people are thinking so. but probably, dying from cancer would be the best way of dying. Most of them will suffer from strong fatigue, deformation of the babies, weak immune system and medical cost will slowly kill them.

 

 

  1. I evacuated from Japan (Tokyo) using the below logic:

    1. Leaving Japan is reversible. You can always come back in the future if things turn out ok.
    2. Staying in Japan and getting internal radioactive contamination is NOT reversible. Once you become contaminated by internal emitters you have sealed your fate. There is no turning back from it.

    The above two points should make it simple for anyone to clear any other obstacles (career, mortgage, car, belongings, friends, etc) out of the way and leave Japan. If your friends or other relatives do not want to leave that is their choice. You can, of course, attempt to convince them to leave but it is ultimately their choice and you cannot force them. Your responsibility is to yourself and your immediate family (wife + kids) if you have one.

    I was extremely troubled at first right after 3.11 but quickly reached the above conclusions with point #1 and 2. This made my very difficult choice and easy one. Executing it was another matter as leaving Japan requires to very many tasks to complete:

    – Cancel apartment rental contract (if you OWN an mansion apartment it is even more difficult and I thank the maker I opted not to buy one last year).
    – Throw out/sell your unneeded belongings. This is no easy task as it costs money to throw stuff out in Japan. We were able to get most of our furniture picked up at our place thankfully and taken away for free.
    – Ship your must have belongings and arrange for storage at the receiving end.
    – Quit your job or make alternative arrangements.
    – Visa and passport for yourself and your family.
    – Your re-entry permit for Japan if you ever plan to come back.
    – Get your kids out of school.
    – Settle up your taxes and any loans in Japan.
    – Cancel all your utilities (electrical, phone, keitai, tv, internet, gas, water, etc) and other items.
    – Figure out your destination and settle it.
    – Get your plane tickets.
    – Say your farewells to your friends, family and colleagues.

    If anyone has any other steps to add, please do so. I was so very lucky that my wife is very smart and efficient. We were able to perform all our necessary tasks within a short time and get out of Japan. Having said that, leaving is no simple task and can be rather pricey.

  2. “There was a home eight blocks (about 1 kilometer) from where the A-Bomb went off in Hiroshima, Japan. This home had a church attached to it which was completely destroyed, but the home survived, and so did the eight German Jesuit missionaries who prayed the rosary in that house faithfully every day. These men were missionaries to the Japanese people, they were non-military, but because Germany and Japan were allies during WWII they were permitted to live and minister within Japan during the war. Not only did they all survive with (at most) relatively minor injuries, but they all lived well past that awful day with no radiation sickness, no loss of hearing, or any other visible long term defects or maladies.

    Naturally, they were interviewed numerous times (Fr. Schiffer, a survivor, said over 200 times) by scientists and health care people about their remarkable experience and they say “We believe that we survived because we were living the message of Fatima. We lived and prayed the rosary daily in that home.”

    Of course the secular scientists are speechless and incredulous at this explanation – and they are sure there is some “real” explanation – but at the same time over 55 years later the scientists are still absolutely bamboozled when it comes to finding a plausible scenario to explain the missionary’s unique escape from the hellish power of that bomb. ”

  3. Not that this is proof, but you might look at a seismograph of the earthquake. It looks like a nuclear bomb test followed by a more normal earthquake.

    Your logic of the US and Japan being together is true. The folks who control the Western world intend to take down both the US and Japan. In other words, sinking is the goal, not a problem to be avoided. The US has been sinking for 40 years.

  4. i wouldn’t be surprised if an attempt by the USA to bring rain to Japan post-311 to hold down radiation ala HAARP — Finish guy, Arturo — that is plausible to me… and for that to have caused or contributed to the magnification of an earthquake and therefore, the tsunami. I think that’s possible, even probable. I do agree with Iori that it would not have been intentional in any way. His insight into Japan and USA govts having a close relationship is a good one.

    I would really like to know the truth; doubt that would happen.

  5. The HAARP people are conspiracy nuts, don’t listen to them. In Sweden, you are viable for a work visa as soon as you have a job, then make sure to find a spouse and you will of course get to stay.

  6. I totally agree with you. I am Japanese but I do not understand why we have to share all problems among the whole population. It does not make sense to spread the contamination all over the country/world (although that is what the Japanese government is doing…). This “Let’s suffer together” attitude caused a lot of problems during the Wolrd War 2 in Japan (Civilians in Okinawa, including children, killed themselves and majority of the population did not dare to criticize/question the government). If there are people suffering, the best thing we should do is to find a solution (for Fukushima case, help them financially to evacuate from the affected areas, to provide them with correct information of risks and benefits so that they could take a proper decision and to minimize the problem so that it would not spread. However, what is being done is the opposite and I really feel sick of seeing all these things happening in my own country. You have courage to have left Japan and you work for this cause, which I really respect.
    Your timely information in English is really helpful and valuable to those who do not understand Japanese but want to follow what is going on in Japan.
    Even to me, this is a good information source and I read your news everyday!
    What you say about visas is true. As for bank accounts, in certain countries, it is possible to open a non-resident account. I do not know where you are but try with big banks…

  7. I fled from Ibaraki Prefecture in March 17 2011. I went to a small city near Fukuoka.
    Today I found out that my neighbor who did not flee, who still lives in Ibaraki, has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. She is only around 57 years old.
    Another friend in Ibaraki got diagnosed with breast cancer in fall of 2011. Women and children are weak against radiation. My advice: get out if you possibly can. You will face poverty, I am. It is hard, but try.

    1. Yamagata-san. I am happy to hear you fled to Kyushu. Did you leave alone or with family? Also, why did you not flee sooner? Was it because you had to prepare to leave?

  8. “At least in Europe, you can’t open a bank account without a visa. and nobody wants to accept immigrants, so it’s hard to get a visa.”

    I’m sorry to hear that. The European immigration policy is pure madness.

    The truth is Europe is accepting A LOT of immigrants but chooses a low quality one to provide a cheap workforce for the big corporations. If your not from the continent and the ethnic groups they are looking for, your busted. If you were Arab or African, you would have no problem getting a visa and benefit from welfare state.

    But the Japanese have a high standard of living and skilled, thus the corporations are expecting you to ask an expensive salary that they don’t want to pay and will choose a immigrant from a poorer country instead.

    What a mess.

  9. Time will show that you made the right decision! Imagine all the lucky folks that escaped Europe before WWII that started new lives instead of being killed! You are in a unique position to continue to document what is happening in Japan and the spreading effects of nuclear radiation globally. I suggest you save as many documents and link as possible because they will allow you to write a “Best Seller” about this Trillion Dollar Eco-Disaster…

  10. I evacuated from Japan (Tokyo) asap after 3.11 using the below logic:

    1. Leaving Japan is reversible. You can always come back in the future if things turn out ok.
    2. Staying in Japan and getting internal radioactive contamination is NOT reversible. Once you become contaminated by internal emitters you have sealed your fate. There is no turning back from it.

    The above two points should make it simple for anyone to clear any other obstacles (career, mortgage, car, belongings, friends, etc) out of the way and leave Japan.

    1. Network before you go to do some advance preplanning!
      Maybe there is something you can take from Japan that will be more valuable where you are going!
      Get in better shape and start learning another language before you go!

      Become MORE positive!

  11. You can open bank account in hungary without any problem as nonresident person. You need only passport and say any address of hotel and that is enough. Beleive me.

    Good luck. You are the light from east in west.

      1. You can also get a bank account with HSBC, because they work internationally.

        I set up mine in the US and used it in three countries to deposit money.

        The problem is that you have to pay a small fee every time you draw money.

        PS Avril has no idea what she is talking about and her racism is despicable. Don’t apologize for bad English, apologize for a small, poisonous heart.

        1. Well Said!

          We all must continue to move forward instead of wallow in self pity!

          Many use the phrase, “NEXT”… as in what one should do, NEXT…

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
