I admit I am not an expert, but after hearing these men talk in a joint conversation recently in Princeton, New Jersey, I have been awakened to things that amazed and astounded me. I am not a "conspiracy theorist," but when people who are knowledgeable about the power of our weaponry speak, I listen and learn.
One well might ask -- "Was this on purpose, or was this an accident?" I admit, I'm not sure. However, if you wish to look at the economics of the situation, it appears as if we should understand that the US and EU economies are in major, major trouble, and the Japanese economy was just on the upswing as part of the growth of Asia. Thus, if this catastrophe put a major dent in the Japanese economy, it would prevent the Japanese from having an edge on either the US or EU.
Little heard of in the US, is the rapprochement the Japanese are making, for their own safety, with China and Russia, as well as the new re-armament of the Japanese military -- something America has fought against -- and the regrowth of the Samurai tradition (something else America has stood against). Thus, there is more going on between these nations than is made public in the US media.
Considering all the lies the American government has told the world as well as US citizens, I no longer have any faith in our government's honesty or morality. One has also to look at what they did -- and are doing -- to Private Bradley Manning, torturing and humiliating him until he is reportedly "catatonic" just because he told the truth.
As to the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, at some point we'll find out if it was caused by natural forces or by atomic explosions on the ocean's floor. Until then, I suggest we try to find out, because the future of the earth and human decency rests upon it.
