And here we have this month’s moan annual roundup of the top 10 human rights events that affected Japan’s non-Japanese (NJ) residents last year: http://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/fl20120103ad.html (BTW, is anyone else finding the JT site slow? The smrtlnks.com site seems to be holding things up) Number 10: Kim Jong Il dies Umm, that’s reaching a bit. Number [...]

Parallels between Troofers and Fookooshimars

You may have noticed recent stories about ex-PM Yukio Hatoyama co-authoring a report in Nature; it may be found here, with an editorial on it here. Note that Mr Hatoyama has a PhD in Industrial Engineering from Stanford University. The curious passage is this: And a hydrogen explosion should not have generated enough heat to [...]
Stalking Japan Times contributors

Searching the web I came across this site of batshit-crazy loons concerned Fookooshimars citizens discussing the merits of Mr Arudou’s recent article: http://enenews.com/japan-times-column-public-possibly-worldwide-sickens-time-truth-will-leak-about-fukushima (Note that it appears to be down right now – the GoJ’s DoS seems to be working!

Just Be Cause… I Hate Japan
Posted by Ken Y-N (aka Tepido Naruhodo) on November 1, 2011

This month’s Just Be Cause is a spew of hate and, quite frankly, racism: 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. One point I find interesting is that he appears to blame the [...]
Radioactive waste: Tohoku rubble versus coal slag

With Debito.org straying quite far from its mission statement by reposting information on Japan-wide rubble distribution, let’s have a look at what he’s on about. First, for the actual matter; there seems to have been a degree of secrecy regarding this action, which I would join Mr Arudou in condemning. However, he says that they [...]
Fookooshimars

I’m trying to coin a new word here, much like we have the Troofers who know all about the 9/11 conspiracy that the MSM is hiding from the sheeple, Fookooshimars are those who believe the wild-eyed rantings of those self-proclaimed, self-serving experts saying everyone is going to die horribly from cancer. Mr Arudou is one [...]
Terabecquerels of bollocks

Here is the latest toxic sludge to ooze out of Debito.org: http://www.debito.org/?p=8974 I think this is part of a cunning plan by Mr Arudou to get me to myself to death. At least this time he actually sets out his stall: Tourists should stay away also because of the constant public disservices of the GOJ. [...]
Debito Arudou: Japan’s Jenny McCarthy
Posted by Ken Y-N (aka Tepido Naruhodo) on April 5, 2011
121 comments
*Insert moobs joke here* Where to start with this monstrosity? Much like Ms McCarthy hides her head in the sand in the face of scientific evidence, Mr Arudou resorts to name-calling and trying to tweak emotions in the face of a calm evaluation of the situation. As ever, the apparent effort that has been put [...]
Another rational poster pushed under the bus
James Annan has been putting up a brave fight against the scaremongerers in this thread, but he did get a bit short with other posters, perhaps partially because he was getting fed up having his comments selectively edited. Now, what first caused this issue to come to the fore was this comment from AJ (my [...]
