Nimitz class carrier USS Ronald Regan
Veteran
human rights lawyer Charles Bonner (left) has practiced law for 27
years, so by now he’s pretty good at it. Mr Bonner has been the lead
attorney in over sixty-five jury trials involving civil rights cases,
police misconduct, child protection and a myriad other attempts to
protect the vulnerable poor from the mendacious rich. Now he is
leading a class action lawsuit against TEPCO, the regulator/owner of the
Fukushima nuclear energy plant.
By John Ward: He’s unlikely to lose it, because he represents 75 sailors who came
down with a host of medical problems, including cancers and leukemias,
all kinds of gynaecological problems, and tumors on the brain. These
service men and women are mainly young people in their early to mid
twenties, and no one in their family had ever any of these kinds of
illnesses before. Just since Bonner took the case, another 21 sailors
have begun to show the same dire symptoms….of radiation sickness.
Their common link? They were all serving on board USS Ronald Reagan
during a brief visit to the waters around Fukushima three years ago. As
the Ronald Reagan desalinates all its water from the sea for drinking,
bathing and other cleaning purposes, all the sailors were multiply
exposed to radiation from the Fukushima accident. Calmed by the bollocks
being put out about how “harmless” the radiation leakage was, these 75
service men and women now face death.
I’ve just been to eighteen internet sites. I have verified who Bonner is, checked the case credentials (“Cooper et al v. Tokyo Electric Power Company, Inc. et. al.
case number 3:2013cv00773, filed with the United States District Court
for the Southern District of California”) – and confirmed the case’s
existence with Bonner’s law firm. This is not left-of-centre urban myth:
this is the best indication so far, in my view, of just how serious the
Fukushima disaster is going to be.
But not a single mainstream medium I can find within the US, UK or European mainstream has gone near it.
Al Jazzeera, Russia Today, and every eco-site you can find is
crawling with the story. At first – obviously – that made me suspicious.
I am always wary of any site with an agenda.
But this is not anti-Americanism gone mad. This is the Establishment in the dock, not the rogue sites.
The story is just beginning to leak into the more “respectable” questioning sites like silver doctors, which concluded yesterday:
‘Three days ago, The News Doctors published a story
that drew some skepticism within social media. Unfortunately, the
story is not an internet conspiracy theory. 51 US sailors are reportedly
suffering from Fukushima-radiation related medial issues, and have
filed suit in US District Court against TEPCO.
Upon further investigation, this is
NOT a conspiracy, and appears to be the sort of story that needs to go
through multiple rounds of “distribution” before the mainstream media
is forced to cover the story.’
Yet the compainants being represented by Charles Bonner filed their case last April.
We should not be under any illusions: had this case come to light in
China or Russia, the western media would be giving us daily 24/7
coverage and analysis of such serious, mass evidence of radioactive
danger to human life.
The MSM loves to ridicule the blogosphere as consisting entirely of
naive dupes and madcap amateurs. Well, I’d rather be an amateur
investigator than a professional whore.
CP Snow said facts are sacred. They’re also inconvenient. I prefer George Orwell’s definition of being a good reporter:
“Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed: everything else is public relations.”
Still my hero after all these years
