“The number of children and grandchildren with cancer in their bones, with leukemia in their blood, or with poison in their lungs might seem statistically small to some, in comparison with natural health hazards. But this is not a natural health hazard—and it is not a statistical issue. The loss of even one human life, or the malformation of even one baby—who may be born long after we are gone—should be of concern to us all. Our children and grandchildren are not merely statistics toward which we can be indifferent.”

John F. Kennedy, July 26th, 1963

Abe Support Falls Below 50% for First Time Amid Secrecy Drive

Abe Support Falls Below 50% for First Time Amid Secrecy Drive


Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s public support dropped below 50 percent for the first time amid a campaign to strengthen Japan’s secrecy laws, a decline that risks eroding his political capital to enact economic reforms.
The cabinet’s approval rating fell to 49 percent, according to a Nov. 30 to Dec. 1 survey by the Asahi newspaper, down 4 percentage points from a month earlier. It showed 50 percent of those surveyed opposed a bill passed by the Diet’s lower house last week that boosts penalties for leaking confidential government information. The upper house may vote this week.

NOTE:  A PETITION TO STOP THIS SECRECY LAW, WHICH WOULD PRETTY MUCH END ANY OUTFLOW OF REPORTING ON THE FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR DISASTER, WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON.  WATCH THESE POSTINGS FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
