| Japanese PM eats ‘Fukushima lunch' |
| 2023-08-31 |
| Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has attempted to demonstrate the safety of treated radioactive wastewater released from the Fukushima nuclear power plant by eating a selection of food from the area. Kishida and three of his cabinet ministers sat down on Wednesday for a lunch at which they ate sashimi made from flounder, octopus, and sea bass all caught off the coast of Fukushima following last week’s wastewater release. They also had a selection of fruit, vegetables, and rice recently harvested in the region. "This is very good," Kishida told reporters during the meal, calling on people to enjoy "safe and delicious" Japanese seafood and support the northeastern prefecture. There is, IMO, some sort of cosmic karma in Japan - the first country ever to be attacked by Nuclear bombs - being the one to start the process of abolishing anti-nuclear hysteria manufactored by the western pseudo-educated classes in the last 3 generations. |

| #8 And how much radiation are we exposed to every day from that large continuous thermonuclear reaction known as the Sun? It's only a small satisfaction of the level of natural radiation exposure the Swamp creatures get from all the granite in Da Capital. |

| #6 Dosage, dosage, dosage. Most of the hysteria is Linear No-Threshold hocus pocus like "if 10,000 people are each exposed to 1/10,000th of a harmful dose then one (1) person will immediately drop dead(!)". |
