It had been safe up to that point, and that was conclusive from several collected sources of facts.Which is a blatant lie. Sources say that the plants where not safe before, and have had several serious issues in the past.
Quote:About the CONCEALMENT of truth, commitment of fraud or whatever bad-guy color you want to paint on them, your OWN source did rate the incident as "not of a major nature". Now then, if I lied about stealing a lollipops from the mall, it would be reasonable not to trust my denial in committing a murder later on, but it also does not prove me guilty. Governments do things in the shadow, again, I was NOT taking their words for the safety we had been seeing, I believed in the constraints that was put on them (to make them spill the truth, or part of it).I didnt paint them that way, they did it themselves.
You also are misrepresenting what the source said (yet again). The accidents where not major when compared to Fukushima. However it was serious, because lives were threatened.
Quote:"Now the accidents weren't of a major nature. They weren't anything like what's going on in Fukushima.
"But they were serious in the sense that lives were threatened, systems broke down, there were failures to report and there were cover-ups. People pretended things hadn't happened."
Your analogy also does not apply. Stealing loly pops is nothing compared and unrelated to murder. However, there is a history in japan of covering up information regarding nuclear disasters and issues - which was the original point of me posting the article.
They covered up information in the past, and their MO suggests that they might be doing it now.
Edit: considering the fact that the Japanese government ignored the warnings, and exactly what they where warned about occured, I'd say your point of "oh he must have been crazy" is a pretty pathetic point. It only shows that the government was incompetent and allowed a disaster to occur.
