Strong Children Japan



Portraits of Japanese children and young people living with the ongoing consequences of the Fukushima Daichi nuclear accident, the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami of March 11th 2011. The images and words are made by the children, combined with their portrait by Japan-based English artist Geoff Read done according to their instructions. The aim is to enable them to share their important experiences and thoughts with the world.

Einstein said, "The splitting of the atom changed everything save man's mode of thinking; thus we drift towards unparalleled catastrophe." He also said, "Nuclear power is a hell of a way to boil water."



Unit 3 of Fukushima I explodes, due to the ignition of built up hydrogen gas, on March 13, 2011. This is the reactor which has the extremely dangerous plutonium-laced MOX fuel. State of the nuclear reactor core remains unknown... (photo enhanced for contrast and enlargement with several layers of noise, sharpening and blurring)

whats up: Grisly Chinese Anti-Communist Bunny video



"Uploaded by blondecrazygaijin on Jan 28, 2011 Grisly, South-Park-style video from China makes plain mounting complaints of Chinese people regarding food and building safety, as well as the integrity of public officials. The upcoming year is Chinese Year of the Rabbit, replacing Year of the Tiger... rabbits are cast as the peasantry while public officals are shown as nasty tigers... Scenes in which tiger drivers strike and kill rabbit pedestrian are references to recent incidents in which officials committed negligent accidents, with no charges.
