Thats right. 40 years of brainwashed ultra-expensive and dangerous stupidity.

Below are pictures and a video from yesterdays demonstration against nuclear restarts planned for July 1st. It was a lot of Japanese on the streets!!! Really cool to see that many people on the streets of Tokyo demanding a stop to restarts, corruption, and phony democracy. Its really beautiful. I think the organizers claimed that 150,000 ~ 200,000 people came to protest.
One writer chartered a helicopter to take photos of the event, especially since the lamestream news rarely report on the unprecedented citizen movement since probably the 60s (Anpo). The question is how will this materialize into a force that can deconstruct the current political system that serves corporate interests and the OB club.
昨日の官邸前デモは凄かった！
あんなに人が集まるとは。。。
あのままオキュパイすればかなり
日本は変わると思ったけど、
それはまだハードルが高かそうだ。
今回はデモ初参加の人も多かったみたい。
アジサイもっていた人も数名いた。
とても平和で民主主義的な集まり。
主催者によると１５万人集まったらしい。
解散後には日比谷公園で若者達が集まったとか。
では写真（今日本ではこんなことが起こっています！）
Picture from above. So beautiful!
上空から官邸前（道路が人で覆われている）
美しいよね。

すっごい人！
Police buses try to keep the masses from flowing into the intersection.
警察のバリケード。
警察のバリケード。
Below is a video from helicopter view.

長いから飛ばし飛ばしでみるといいかも。
Bonus
a scene from the TEPCO shareholders meeting
最後にボーナス
東電の株主総会の一シーン
The man is complaining about how TEPCO representatives are not answering their questions about the accident and restarts. But, whats really interesting is the black suited men. They awkwardly bend low, stick an arm out, and do mini-bows or as I like to call them, air head butts. Japanese are so weird. These men are brothers and are actually all hunchbacks from rice farming, the extended arms with open palms is to distract him with weird gestures, and the bows are threats.
「第88回東京電力株主総会 質疑応答です。質問に答えていないのに勝手に進んでしまい、怒った株主が席に戻らない様子」
何より面白いのが周りで必死にお辞儀攻撃をする黒スーツ隊。
日本特有のソーシャルプレッシャー。
必殺、腕を差し伸べながら空中ヘッドバット連発。
Kai san. Onegai! What's the status of the restarts? What can we do here in the US? I'm getting patchy reports or even nothing here. At least tell me where to look. Thank you!!
