Yakuza involved in Fukushima clean-up: reporter

Crime Dec. 16, 2011 - 10:45AM JST

TOKYO —

A Japanese journalist who worked at the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant this summer claimed Thursday that Japan’s yakuza crime syndicates were involved in supplying clean-up crews.

“Roughly 10% of plant workers there were brought in through the mediation of the yakuza,” said Tomohiko Suzuki, 45, who has written a book based on his experience at the Fukushima Daiichi plant.

“The yakuza are very much involved in this industry but they are not involved as people working on site,” Suzuki told reporters. “They are in charge of collecting people, finding people and dispatching workers to the site.”

Suzuki says yakuza groups have long sent debtors to nuclear power plants as workers as a way of paying off loans made at sky-high rates, adding the practice “will continue to occur.”

This is why I think some of people who die from radiation exposure during Fukushima cleanup will not be tracked down. Yakuza will launder their identity. After the work is done, a cleanup worker will disappear into thin air. No paper trail left to track him down.

P!

They now have discovered that in the contaminated zones, the indoor house dust is more radioactive then the outside soil. The Japanese remove their shoes at the door. Apparently a significant portion of household dust is organic in nature. Human and animal hairs, plant pollen and human skin. So can we now assume that organic organisms are now more radioactive then the soil ? Or did I get something wrong in that analysis ?

Getting back to the article, officially there are reported to be 840 missing workers involved with Fukushima. Hey, they used to use swords and guns, now they at least give them a chance to work of their problems.

Mission accomplished and the list of the missing nuclear workers

Tony Soprano would be proud.

Probably the same yakuza that visited there earlier: “Nice nuke plant you’ve got here, it’d be a shame if something were to happen to it...”

That deserves a BadaBingPing.

840 missing employees but publicly listing 13 and some of those by incorrect names. Did they get washed out to sea? Did they high tail it outta there because of the radiation? Did they die inside the plant? Lots of questions. Then the damaged containers and the questionable hiring of clean up employees. There is no more saving face. They need to admit they failed miserably and we’re all screwed.

That is not the way the Yakuza works. You have to experience it first hand to fully appreciate how it operates. This is the way it works. Extracted from
Japan Gone Nuts: NISA Declares No Contaminated Water Leak From Fuku-I, in the Past, Now, and the Future

Tokyo Shinbun reports that NISA has decided to basically "nullify" the leaks of contaminated water from Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant in the past, and declare that there will be no leak in the future either, even if there is actually a leak or deliberate discharge. Why? Because NISA says so.

So all those previous leaks of radioactive water in the past, they did not occur. What you saw, you did not see. There is no other option. Get it ? And any leaks you see in the future, you did not see. That is how they work.

These aren’t the leaks you’re looking for.

Everyone knows about the pinky getting cut-off, though it’s considerably more rare now.

Another way to collect is to kidnap the debtor, and put him on a really hellish boat for a year or two.

Another one is to perform a home-invasion, then gag the married couple, tie-up the husband, and then hump his wife and/or his daughter in front of him.

Sorry.

boat = to work on a tuna boat
