Yoichi Shimatsu: US-Israeli Nuke Transfers Led to Fukushima Catastrophy

The explosions that destroyed the Fukushima nuclear plant were caused by war-head cores illegally taken from America's nuclear-weapons assembly facility. Evaporation in the cooling pools used for spent fuel rods led to the detonation of stored weapons-grade plutonium and uranium. The facts about the clandestine American and Israeli support for Japan's nuclear armament are now being suppressed in what is the biggest cover-up in recent history. The events indicate that theft from America's strategic arsenal was authorized by Bush and Cheney, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, and Israel's Elhud Olmert's government in Tel Aviv: In early 2007, Vice President Dick Cheney flew to Tokyo with his closest aides. Newspaper editorials pointed to the secrecy about this visit: No press conferences, no briefings for US Embassy staffers in Tokyo. Cheney snubbed Defense Minister Fumio Kyuma, shutting him out of the official talks, under the pretext of secrecy: The Joint Chiefs of Staff would have opposed White House approval of Japan's nuclear program. The unannounced reason for Cheney's visit was to promote a quadrilateral alliance in the Asia-Pacific region. The US, Japan, Australia and India, were being called to contain and confront China and its allies North Korea and Russia. The main obstacle to American acceptance of a nuclear-armed Japan was the US Pentagon, where Pearl Harbor and Hiroshima are still symbols of American military supremacy. The only channel for the transfers was then the civilian Department of Energy (DoE), which supervises the production of nuclear weapons.
