Phil Vokey How about the dolphins and whales, PO, that are slaughtered in Alaska, USA ? Or the seals and walruses? Do they not bleed and feel pain, too? Or the whales that are slaughtered in 10 other countries of the world ? I guess you just want to talk about Taiji and other places in Japan, do you ? Doesn't that sound hypocritical to you ?

South Korea's Invasion of Japan

South Korea has been occupying Takeshima with no basis in international law. Any measures the Republic of Korea takes regarding Takeshima based on such an illegal occupation have no legal justification.

Japan will continue to seek the settlement of the dispute of the territorial sovereignty over Takeshima on the basis of international law in a calm and peaceful manner.

Note: The Republic of Korea has never demonstrated any clear basis for its claims that it had effective control over Takeshima prior to Japan’s effective control over Takeshima and reaffirmation of its territorial sovereignty in 1905.

Bert Stankowski https://www.facebook.com/bert.stankowski/media_set... Ϯ RIP

Peter Boyd The Minamata Bay disaster.
Minamata is located on the coast of Japan's western most island. The city and the adjacent Minamata Bay form a relatively closed ecosystem: the bay was a source of fish--and roughly 80% of the city's source of protein--until the mid-1950s, when the reality of mercury poisoning from the Chisso factory quickly had a devastating effect on its local residents.
60 years later, the situation is being repeated in the Taiji cove. Gross criminal negligence, premeditated harm, knowledge of brain/body deformity and/or loss of life is the real truth based on the Japanese government’s records of the Minamata Bay killings.

Through the 1970s and 80s, new patients continued to surface from the
Chisso effects. Minamata disease is a severe neurological syndrome with
symptoms of ataxia, paralysis, impaired vision, hearing and speech, and
in extreme cases insanity, coma, and death. Given the potentially
disastrous scope of the problem, the Japanese government used its go-to
trademark behavior by NOT verifying any of the patients. Even so, 1,760
victims have been confirmed; almost 3,000 more await verification--of
which 412 have already died. Over 8,000 have been denied status. No one
can be sure of the extent of the damage, but one neuropsychiatrist at a
local university estimates that 10,000 victims exist currently and that
at least 3,000 have died. Over $611 million has been paid to victims in
compensation.
The Minamata disease is once again alive and well
in the offshore fishing grounds of Taiji and it’s only a matter of time
before another wave of mercury poisoned children will surface in local
hospitals. When this happens, will the deceitful side of Japanese
politics rush in to cover it up as their own citizen’s suffer and die?
Or will they shut down this pointless, criminal endeavor?
Two Taiji councilmen have broken the “code of silence” and have stood up
against children eating toxic dolphin meat. Cetaceans are at the top of
the food chain and long-lived, therefore they bio-accumulate marine
pollutants in their internal organs and muscle, especially heavy metals
like mercury. Please, shut down the Taiji operations before you kill more of your own children. Thank you, Peter

1 · · Edited

Peter Boyd If you don't shut down Taiji, and more children end up dead or deformed because of the mercury in the dolphins and whales, then just imagine the massive class-action lawsuits, both locally and internationally. Do you really want this kind of attention to fall upon your country because of a small and dead fishing village? I have been to beautiful, Japan and I know hardly anyone is aware of these daily tragedies in Taiji. I think this time, it is about save face with the world. Please remember, "Two Taiji councilmen have broken the “code of silence” and have stood up against children eating toxic dolphin meat." Thank you, Prime Minister.

Emmanuel Chanel LoL! If we got Minamata Disease simply by eating whales and dolphins, all the people of the world's coasts would have. And there wouldn't be even the word: Minamata Disease. Can't you understand that, Peter Boyd? Especially, you read Wikipedia but you don't understand.

>We need to see ourselves as a whole world here, to save ourselves from our selves. Do you understand Mr. San?
Huh... before preaching us, you should know that Taiji people don't have Minamata Disease. If they had, it's impossible for us to miss it BECAUSE even poor people learn Minamata Disease in primary schools and middle schools. (So such a symptom would be found in 100% possibility.)
And our medical researchers confirm that there's no Minamata Disease in Taiji.
See: http://www.sciencedirect.com/.../pii/S0160412014000750
If you want to say that you see your dirty little secrets, FACE THE LIES of "THE COVE" And say words like: "Sorry. I was too stupid. I didn't understand what Minamata Disease is as well as what Japanese public schools teach."

Peter Boyd Radiation hot spots are popping up around the United States in the thousands of percentages higher than ‘background radiation’, mutated wildlife is being found dead on the same West Coast beaches where increased radiation levels have been documented by independent researchers, and the Fukushima TEPCO plant workers have been caught using duct tape to fix their nuclear equipment. But according to the
Japanese government, these events mean absolutely nothing. Yeah. There's definitely a pattern of lies going on here.

Peter Boyd The costly fallout of tatemae and Japan’s culture of deceit
by Debito Arudou

Nov 1, 2011 Article history
PRINT
SHARE

There is an axiom in Japanese: uso mo hōben —
“lying is also a means to an end.” It sums up the general attitude in
Japan of tolerance of — even justification for — not telling the truth.
First — defining “telling the truth” as divulging the truth
(not a lie), the whole truth (full disclosure) and nothing but the truth
(uncompounded with lies) — consider how lies are deployed in everyday
personal interactions.
Let’s start with good old tatemae (charitably
translated as “pretense”). By basically saying something you think the
listener wants to hear, tatemae is, essentially, lying. That becomes
clearer when the term is contrasted with its antonym, honne, one’s “true feelings and intentions.”
Tatemae, however, goes beyond the “little white lie,” as it
is often justified less by the fact you have avoided hurting your
listener’s feelings, more by what you have gained from the
nondisclosure.
But what if you disclose your true feelings? That’s often seen negatively, as baka shōjiki
(“stupidly honest”): imprudent, naive, even immature. Skillful lying is
thus commendable — it’s what adults in society learn to do.
Now extrapolate. What becomes of a society that sees lying
as a justifiably institutionalized practice? Things break down. If
everyone is expected to lie, who or what can you trust?
Consider law enforcement. Japan’s lack of even the
expectation of full disclosure means, for example, there is little right
to know your accuser (e.g., in bullying cases). In criminal procedure,
the prosecution controls the flow of information to the judge (right
down to what evidence is admissible). And that’s before we get into how
secretive and deceptive police interrogations are infamous for being.
Consider jurisprudence. Witnesses are expected to lie to
such an extent that Japan’s perjury laws are weak and unenforceable.
Civil court disputes (try going through, for example, a divorce) often
devolve into one-upmanship lying matches, flippantly dismissed as
“he-said, she-said” (mizukake-ron). And judges, as seen in the
Valentine case (Zeit Gist, Aug. 14, 2007), will assume an eyewitness is
being untruthful simply based on his/her attributes — in this case
because the witness was foreign like the plaintiff.
Consider administrative procedure. Official documents and
public responses attach organizational affiliations but few actual names
for accountability. Those official pronouncements, as I’m sure many
readers know due to arbitrary Immigration decisions, often fall under
bureaucratic “discretion” (sairyō), with little if any right of
appeal. And if you need further convincing, just look at the loopholes
built into Japan’s Freedom of Information Act.
All this undermines trust of public authority. Again, if
bureaucrats (like everyone else) are not expected to fully disclose,
society gets a procuracy brazenly ducking responsibility wherever
possible through vague directives, masked intentions and obfuscation.
This is true to some degree of all bureaucracies, but the
problem in Japan is that this nondisclosure goes relatively unpunished.
Our media watchdogs, entrusted with upholding public accountability,
often get distracted or corrupted by editorial or press club conceits.
Or, giving reporters the benefit of the doubt, it’s hard to know which
lyin’ rat to pounce on first when there are so many. Or journalists
themselves engage in barely researched, unscientific or sensationalistic
reporting, undermining their trustworthiness as information sources.
Public trust, once lost, is hard to regain. In such a
climate, even if the government does tell the truth, people may still
disbelieve it. Take, for example, the Environment Ministry’s recent
strong-arming of regional waste management centers to process Tohoku
disaster ruins: Many doubt government claims that radioactive rubble
will not proliferate nationwide, fanning fears that the nuclear power
industry is trying to make itself less culpable for concentrated
radiation poisoning by irradiating everyone (see www.debito.org/?p=954!)!
Apologists would say (and they do) that lying is what
everyone in positions of power does worldwide, since power itself
corrupts. But there is the matter of degree, and in Japan there is scant
reward for telling the truth — and ineffective laws to protect
whistle-blowers. It took a brave foreign CEO at Olympus Corp. to come
out recently about corporate malfeasance; he was promptly sacked,
reportedly due to his incompatibility with “traditional Japanese
practices.” Yes, quite so.
This tradition of lying has a long history. The Japanese
Empire’s deception about its treatment of prisoners of war and
noncombatants under the Geneva Conventions (e.g., the Bataan Death
March, medical experiments under Unit 731), not to mention lying to its
own civilians about how they would be treated if captured by the Allies,
led to some of the most horrifying mass murder-suicides of Japanese,
dehumanizing reprisals by their enemies, and war without mercy in World
War II’s Pacific Theater.
Suppressing those historical records, thanks to cowardice
among Japan’s publishers, reinforced by a general lack of “obligation to
the truth,” has enabled a clique of revisionists to deny responsibility
for Japan’s past atrocities, alienating it from its neighbors in a
globalizing world.
Even today, in light of Fukushima, Japan’s development into a
modern and democratic society seems to have barely scratched the
surface of this culture of deceit. Government omerta and omission kept the nation ignorant about the most basic facts — including reactor meltdowns — for months!
Let me illustrate the effects of socially accepted lying
another way: What is considered the most untrustworthy of professions?
Politics, of course. Because politicians are seen as personalities who,
for their own survival, appeal to people by saying what they want to
hear, regardless of their own true feelings.
That is precisely what tatemae does to Japanese society. It
makes everyone into a politician, changing the truth to suit their
audience, garner support or deflect criticism and responsibility.
Again, uso mo hoben: As long as you accomplish your goals,
lying is a means to an end. The incentives in Japan are clear. Few will
tell the truth if they will be punished for doing so, moreover rarely
punished for not doing so.
No doubt a culturally relativistic observer would attempt to
justify this destructive dynamic by citing red herrings and excuses
(themselves tatemae) such as “conflict avoidance,” “maintaining group
harmony,” “saving face,” or whatever. Regardless, the awful truth is:
“We Japanese don’t lie. We just don’t tell the truth.”
This is not sustainable. Post-Fukushima Japan must realize
that public acceptance of lying got us into this radioactive mess in the
first place.
For radiation has no media cycle. It lingers and poisons the
land and food chain. Statistics may be obfuscated or suppressed as
usual. But radiation’s half-life is longer than the typical attention
span or sustainable degree of public outrage.
As the public — possibly worldwide — sickens over time, the truth will leak out.
