http://www.readersupportednews.org/n...llion-revealed Russia Stunned After Japanese Plan to Evacuate 40 Million Revealed By The European Union Times 18 April 12 A new report circulating in the Kremlin today prepared by the Foreign Ministry on the planned re-opening of talks with Japan over the disputed Kuril Islands during the next fortnight states that Russian diplomats were “stunned” after being told by their Japanese counterparts that upwards of 40 million of their peoples were in “extreme danger” of life threatening radiation poisoning and could very well likely be faced with forced evacuations away from their countries eastern most located cities… including the world’s largest one, Tokyo. The Kuril Islands are located in Russia's Sakhalin Oblast region and stretch approximately 1,300 km (810 miles) northeast from Hokkaido-, Japan, to Kamchatka, Russia, separating the Sea of Okhotsk from the North Pacific Ocean. There are 56 islands and many more minor rocks. It consists of Greater Kuril Ridge and Lesser Kuril Ridge, all of which were captured by Soviet Forces in the closing days of World War II from the Japanese. The “extreme danger” facing tens of millions of the Japanese peoples is the result of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster that was a series of equipment failures, nuclear meltdowns, and releases of radioactive materials at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, following the To-hoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011. According to this report, Japanese diplomats have signaled to their Russian counterparts that the returning of the Kuril Islands to Japan is “critical” as they have no other place to resettle so many people that would, in essence, become the largest migration of human beings since the 1930’s when Soviet leader Stalin forced tens of millions to resettle Russia’s far eastern regions. Important to note, this report continues, are that Japanese diplomats told their Russian counterparts that they were, also, “seriously considering” an offer by China to relocate tens of millions of their citizens to the Chinese mainland to inhabit what are called the “ghost cities,” built for reasons still unknown and described, in part, by London’s Daily Mail News Service in their 18 December 2010 article titled: “The Ghost Towns Of China: Amazing Satellite Images Show Cities Meant To Be Home To Millions Lying Deserted” that says: “These amazing satellite images show sprawling cities built in remote parts of China that have been left completely abandoned, sometimes years after their construction. Elaborate public buildings and open spaces are completely unused, with the exception of a few government vehicles near communist authority offices. Some estimates put the number of empty homes at as many as 64 million, with up to 20 new cities being built every year in the country's vast swathes of free land.” Foreign Ministry experts in this report note that should Japan accept China’s offer, the combined power of these two Asian peoples would make them the largest super-power in human history with an economy larger than that of the United States and European Union combined and able to field a combined military force of over 200 million. To how dire the situation is in Japan was recently articulated by Japanese diplomat Akio Matsumura who warned that the disaster at the Fukushima nuclear plant may ultimately turn into an event capable of extinguishing all life on Earth. Quote: According to the Prison Planet News Service: “Matsumura posted [this] startling entry on his blog following a statement made by Japan’s former ambassador to Switzerland, Mitsuhei Murata, on the situation at Fukushima. Speaking at a public hearing of the Budgetary Committee of the House of Councilors on 22 March 2012, Murata warned that “if the crippled building of reactor unit 4 – with 1,535 fuel rods in the spent fuel pool 100 feet (30 meters) above the ground – collapses, not only will it cause a shutdown of all six reactors but will also affect the common spent fuel pool containing 6,375 fuel rods, located some 50 meters from reactor 4,” writes Matsumura. In both cases the radioactive rods are not protected by a containment vessel; dangerously, they are open to the air. This would certainly cause a global catastrophe like we have never before experienced. He stressed that the responsibility of Japan to the rest of the world is immeasurable. Such a catastrophe would affect us all for centuries. Ambassador Murata informed us that the total numbers of the spent fuel rods at the Fukushima Daiichi site excluding the rods in the pressure vessel is 11,421.” Disturbingly, the desperate situation facing Japan is, also, facing the United States as Russian military observers overflying the US this week as part of the Open Skies Treaty are reporting “unprecedented” amounts of radiation in the Western regions of that country, a finding that was further confirmed by scientists with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute who have confirmed that a wave of highly radioactive waste is headed directly for the US west coast. Important to note is that this new wave of Fukushima radiation headed towards the US is in addition to earlier radiation events that American scientists are now blaming for radioactive particles from Japan being detected in California kelp. Quote: Though the news of this ongoing global catastrophe is still being heavily censored in the US, the same cannot be said about Japan, and as recently reported by the leading Japanese newspaper The Mainichi Daily News that reports: “One of the biggest issues that we face is the possibility that the spent nuclear fuel pool of the No. 4 reactor at the stricken Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant will collapse. This is something that experts from both within and outside Japan have pointed out since the massive quake struck. TEPCO, meanwhile, says that the situation is under control. However, not only independent experts, but also sources within the government say that it’s a grave concern. The storage pool in the No. 4 reactor building has a total of 1,535 fuel rods, or 460 tons of nuclear fuel, in it. The 7-story building itself has suffered great damage, with the storage pool barely intact on the building’s third and fourth floors. The roof has been blown away. If the storage pool breaks and runs dry, the nuclear fuel inside will overheat and explode, causing a massive amount of radioactive substances to spread over a wide area. Both the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and French nuclear energy company Areva have warned about this risk. A report released in February by the Independent Investigation Commission on the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident stated that the storage pool of the plant’s No. 4 reactor has clearly been shown to be “the weakest link” in the parallel, chain-reaction crises of the nuclear disaster. The worse-case scenario drawn up by the government includes not only the collapse of the No. 4 reactor pool, but the disintegration of spent fuel rods from all the plant’s other reactors. If this were to happen, residents in the Tokyo metropolitan area would be forced to evacuate.” Even though this crisis in Japan has been described as “a nuclear war without a war” and the US Military is being reported is now stocking up on massive amounts of anti-radiation pills in preparation for nuclear fallout, there remains no evidence at all the ordinary peoples are being warned about this danger in any way whatsoever.

Isn't putnland part of Somalia? If these talks are between SL and Somalia then wtf are they complaining about?

There are clannish folks out there who want revenge because they feel a gauntlet has been thrown by the likes of Muuse Biixi. Ilaahaay ha qaboojiyo cos it could easily take turn for the worse. I agree fully. It will be nice to see the likes of Biixii and other men with snm (tags) banned from politics. They can get all the hero awards on the side without getting involved in politics.

I think there is too much isyeelyeel here because I can't imagine any grown person with his right mind thinking this consitution is anything more than a blueprint for local governance. Puntland is part of Somalia. Its people are proud Somalis. Our capital is Mogadishu. How Puntland local goverment conducts its own local affairs is upto the locals there so long as Somali unity is protected and every Somali resident there is treated equally. Ciyaarta naga daaya awooweyaal because I still think you are all joking around. :D A regional state that prints its own money and has its own "banking laws" A regional state that says their "president" is the command of the army A regional state that says our natural resources belongs to the state only and that we have the right to dig anywhere within our state at will Let every state do exactly that, lets see what "unity" brings then

A valid criticism.. I think the puntland politicians are just confused when it comes to governing. That's why a lot of people call them out. Be an independent state or stand for Somalia, that's it.

The on-going constitutional crisis will be a classic. It will be interesting to watch these Two-Headed Mutpet monsters go head to head with Somalia government as the years go by.

kingofkings;818985 wrote: PL is not threatening anyone, rather clearly stating that if somalia does not get her act together, than PL is free to rule and define her destiny. puntland is able to exercise this right, but Somaliland cant?

General Duke;818970 wrote: it states clearly pending the completion therefore once that process is completed Puntland is not going to act as anything other than a Federal State within the Republic of Somalia. Once the process is completed? Lets talk about the current time, its not completed yet right? How is that article supposed to be read in the context of this current time? Please reason well...

General Duke;818698 wrote: Yet they have deeper schisms and divisions, race, religion and political differences divide them much more than the little differences that we have. A more efficient and effective laws and peace will change many things. Totally not the same, I don't think you really get how deep clan states can go.

General Duke;818685 wrote: Its like saying the people of MN, TX, FL don't know they are part of the U.S.? With time my brother people will travel freely, marry each other and live where they want to and then things will change. What we have now is the fear and paranoia that has been built throughout the war period. This will change in no time when the militias have been disarmed the country has been opened up. This is absurd... The people of MN, TX, and FL all do know they're part of the US. If a Texan drives over to Alabama he would be pointed out that his out of state because his car plate gives him away. The US doesn't have this clan mess that Somalia brings.

General Duke;818677 wrote: What I want is a single Somalia where every region takes care of its own and strengthens the union of the people who are a single ethnic group, single religion and language. These people are called Somali and their nation is Somalia... That approach would be a clear failure of the gates. The people will be more identified with their regions/clans rather than come together as one. Just look at what's happening with people like Dr Osman and the folks from garowe that forgot what the somali national flag looks like, why - because they have regional one now. Federalism won't work in Somalia please get this through your head.

General Duke;818677 wrote: A Freudian slip I guess. Your "president, speaker, head of opposition parties" are all from the SNM clan, yet you talk about clan federalism. . How many times are you going to change your arguments? Not too long ago, Riyaale was "mugging" the SNM crew. Who is the current Vice President?

General Duke;818665 wrote: You can think what you want. Secession is not an option and wont be one. Greater autonomy, power sharing and devolution of power are all on the table. I am a unionist, but I am realistic I don't believe in centralization and power to all be centered in one group, or regions hands. Thus this will serve as the foundation of the new Somalia. One which has learned from its past. Hear yourself out, secession is not an option because dukey and his co-defendants say so? SL says you're huffing and puffing for no reason. Your goal is to push around a giant sphere, they're hard to move. Think of a different strategy already, you're a great propagandist - i trust that you can win the hearts of some like NG....Switch up your style homie.

General Duke;818664 wrote: , I think you are only confusing yourself.. Its a smart politics, you're a visionary thinker (giving you props) Your propaganda techniques is almost as good as mine. You're learning a lot since you arrived to the US. Its a beautiful country enjoy it and learn a lot of great things.

General Duke;818660 wrote: I am a unionist, thus I don't entertain secession of any part of Somalia. However more autonomy and freedoms for every federal state is essential. Then these negotiations are held just for the sake of negotiating. What's the point? You don't even want to come somewhere in between. You're a unionist you say, and they're secessionists...something has to give. I really, really, really think SL wont backtrack.

^^duke is supporting him because he doesn't want to see another leader from the garowe society.

Duke: is my proposal going into these negotiations okay to you?

General Duke;818635 wrote: The fact that Puntland top ministers who hail from the regions the SNM are trying to attack says everything, I doubt the TFG interior Minster will even entertain such things. Gen Ilkajiir is no pushover and a deep unionist at heart. Again one is quite confident that NW Somalia and its people will be brought back to the union. What if they use the Sanaag and Sool areas as bargaining chips, they'll draw the lines where SL supporters are and the "union" crowd...And can we say Goodbye to Somaliland at last? Can this be the last solution? Will you be happy about this? Its a win-win situation right?

^^Over what? don't be silly. I wish you and your people much success, just stay away from us.
