EU likely to ease restrictions on Japanese food imports
June 27, 2019
OSAKA (Kyodo) — The European Union said Thursday it expects to remove restrictions on some Japanese food imports, including Fukushima Prefecture-grown soybeans, amid receding concerns about radiation contamination linked to the 2011 nuclear disaster.
According to the Japanese government, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker told Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe the requirement for radiation inspection certificates is likely to be canceled. The two leaders were meeting a day before the start of a two-day summit of the Group of 20 major economies in Osaka.
The European Commission expects the lifting of the requirement to be finalized as early as this fall after it obtains the approval of member countries.
The change impacts food products from Iwate, Tochigi and Chiba prefectures, as well as seafood from Miyagi, Ibaraki and Gunma prefectures, a Japanese government official told a press briefing. The testing requirements would also be lifted for some types of mushrooms.
The move will follow the European Union’s lifting of a ban on rice produced in Fukushima in 2017.
In the meeting, in which European Council President Donald Tusk was also present, Juncker and Abe also discussed the need to reform the World Trade Organization and geopolitical issues including North Korea and heightened tensions in the Middle East, the official said.

You are a very wise and devoted man Herve. I learned a lot of my disdain of people like the Koch’s from you!
I cannot do facebook. I see yur twitter. Cant do that either in this evil authoritarian surveilance state.
Saw the thing about isolationism on twitter.
isolationism is about forever war herve! That is what trump is all about is building massive numbers of nuclear weapons and nuclear bullshit to further contaminate the shit out of murica .star wars bullshit started under ronald reagan with edward teller!
the nasty little racist libertarian, s
shit caitlin johnstone speaks with the ultimate forked-tongue! It is simply a paid off journalist prostitute that makes money promulgating double speak protrump bullshit in medias totally dominated by every aspect of the war mongers and nuclearists.
what a goddamned evil little creep spewing the worse triangulating propaganda and brainwashing bullshit possible as fuko the clown abrogates treaties to test new small tactical nukes in iran. as the bastards spend trillions to put nuclear bombs in space while there are 20 million homeless americans mostly from medical bankrupsies
i went to some american libertarian meetings in college.
I have spoken to Ron Paul .He is not the kindly old man that is projected. it is mostly darkness and hate
There were some mercantile-era-utilitarian-Humanist, philosophers like John Stuart Mills and John Locke, that decried too much government interference. They were Civil Libertarians. My father was a politician who was ashamed of police abuse in america. My father was a champion of civil liberties and basic human rights. My father was a strong civil libertarian. My father would be sneeringly referred to as a social justice warrior-snowflake by RON paul followers.
I do not know if folks in Australia or UK or France, have read any of the works of Ayn Rand. For many of us in america they are shoved down our throats.
Ayn Rand created an ideological Cult, based on the absolute imperative of selfishness. She was so extremest, that she said many times, that anyone with altruistic tendencies should be jailed or executed. That was the core of her “Objectivist Philosophy.”
Ron Paul pays lip service to individual liberty for the select few and turns around and supports the Fascist Bosonaro in Brazil . Ron Paul spouts racist bullshit, in the form of refering to people who do-not-like-racists and, black people who do not like being called nig—-, as cultural marxists. He is a white supremacist psychopath and corportist as ayn rand was
The Koch brothers consider themselves Ayn Rand libertarians as does Robert Mercer. The Kochs , they own most members of the american congress and most governers.
All ayn rand libertarians are climate deniers. They are corporatists and racists. They worship corporatism in the same way mussolini did.
Seems to me that a lot of journalists are easily bought and sold. All I can say is, beware of wolves in sheeps clothing

Ayn Rand Libertarians do not really believe in non-interterventionism. Hate anything left of atilla the hun. Definitely want to attack china and n korea. As an antinuke I am antiwar. No country should have nuclear weapons. The nuclearists are a death cult.
If the bastards ever attacked N korea it would set off several of the 22 nuclears powers plants concentrated in tiny S Korea. It Would set of highlevel nuclear waste rods. There would be the radionuclide equivalent of Fifty-thousand nuclear bombs realeased from Nuclear Reactor Meltdowns and Fuel fires in The Industrial Reactors, that are active in South Korea. It woul happen with any shooting war in Korea.
Rightists and ayn rand libertarians, and republicans have suggestested going to war in korea anyway. Just insane bastards. Gotta get those commies! Specially those redchinese.
Why not let the koreas join back up? Oh, i forgot, it they did the corporations, mic, politicians, oligarchs wpuld not have as many excuses to make nuclear bombs that only they profit from

I’ve always been mystified by the argument that HRC lost the election because she didn’t spend enough time in Wis, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Wouldn’t those visits have convinced even more voters to stay home or vote for Jill Stein or Gary Johnson?

TRUMP SUGGESTS AMERICAN POLICE AND MILITARY MUST BEGIN EXECUTING HOMELESS AND DRUG DEALERS
Trump paints a dark picture of homelessness in cities: ‘We may intercede’

By Eli Rosenberg July 1 at 10:32 PM
President Trump said Monday that he wanted to address the crisis of people on the streets, telling Fox News in an interview that his administration “may intercede” to clean up cities such as Washington, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The president made the remarks in an interview he taped in Japan with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, after Carlson asked him about cities in Japan, which Carlson said are clean and free from graffiti and “junkies.” American cities, by comparison, have a problem with “filth,” Carlson noted.
“It’s a phenomena that started two years ago,” Trump said, drawing a connection between the beginning of this and the early days of his time in the White House. “It’s disgraceful.”
The numbers of homeless people in the United States has stayed relatively level in the three years between 2016 and 2018, ticking up from 550,000 to 553,000 last year. But these numbers represent a significant drop over the past decade. An average of 630,000 people experienced homelessness per year between 2007 and 2012, according to federal data. And an average of 580,000 people were homeless a year between 2012 and 2015.
The president went on at some length, painting a dark picture of life in some American cities without giving specifics for how he would address the issue.
[Tucker Carlson says he’s the victim of a powerful bully. Meet the 24-year-old who found the tapes.]
“Police officers are getting sick just by walking the beat,” he claimed. “We cannot ruin our cities. And you have people that work in those cities. They work in office buildings and to get into the building, they have to walk through a scene that nobody would have believed possible three years ago.”
“We have to take the people,” he said. “And we have to do something.”
Trump did not mention the word homeless during the segment, so it was difficult to glean his exact meaning or how he would address the issue. He blamed liberals and “sanctuary cities.”
“When we have leaders of the world coming in to see the president of the United States and they’re riding down a highway, they can’t be looking at that,” he said. “They can’t be looking at scenes like you see in Los Angeles and San Francisco . . . So we’re looking at it very seriously. We may intercede. We may do something to get that whole thing cleaned up.”

Homeless Rage in America
by MIKE HASTIE
Yesterday I was driving in Portland, Oregon, when this homeless woman stepped in front of my car and just started to scream.
I had my camera on the floor next to my legs, so I grabbed it real quick and took this picture. Being a photojournalist, I simply wanted proof of what I was witnessing.
Sitting next to me was Brian Willson, who witnessed U.S. atrocities in Viet Nam.
In the back seat was a Nicaraguan woman by the name of Ulda. She was visiting the U.S. for the first time.
When she was a small child she remembers eating only banana roots. Her family didn’t have food to eat because of the U.S.-funded Ronald Reagan War.
In the past two years, 200,000 people have moved to Portland from all over the country. Rents have gone sky high, just like other cities across the nation.
Homelessness is an avalanche–tents popping up like wild flowers everywhere.
Streets are littered with trash everywhere.
Arguments on many street corners.
You can feel the stress everywhere.
Anyone reading my words knows exactly what I am talking about.
In fact, I doubt if I could say anything in this post that people don’t already know by heart.
It’s happening!
You can’t spend 50% of U.S. tax dollars on the violent military, without eventually turning this country into an economic war zone.
So, Mike, what’s your point?
My point?
The world is finally getting even.
The Scream is finally being heard.
20 MILLION HOMELESS IN AMERICA. HALF OF THEM FROM MEDICAL BANKRUPSY.
MANY, MANY DISABLED PEOPLE. TRUMP WANTS TO EXECUTE ALL OF THEM HE SAID ON TV WITH CARLSON THEY SHOULD NOT BE THERE. A STAIN. HE DOES NOT KNOW WHY ITS THEIR. THE ASSHOLE IN CHIEF HATES DISABLED PEOPLE YET IT SAID ON THE FOURTH, TO REJOICE IN THE REVOVOLUTION FOR AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARIES TAKING AIRPORTS FROM THE BRITISH. IT SAID IT WANTS TO CLEAN UP THE STREETS AND EXTERMINATE THE UNDERGROUND ECONOMY AND PEOPLE IN THE STREETS. IT IS HALFWAY THERE WITH THOUSANDS OF TODDLERS IN CAGES ON THE BORDER. IT AND ITS ILK OF CRIMINAL BANKERS HAVE CREATED THE HOMELESSNESS IN AMERICA.THE LAND OF ABUNDANCE AND PROSPERITY WHERE THERE IS PLENTIFUL POISONED AND RADIOACTIVE FOOD AND WATER TO EAT AND DRINK. WHERE CHRONIC ILLNESSIS GROWING EXPONENTIALLY AND THE PARASITIC MEDICAL SYSTEM PUTS PEOPLE IN THE STREETS. WHERE THEY JUST SPEW RADIONUCLIDE POISON EVERYWHERE TO BUILD MORE NUCLEAR BOMBS TO THREATEN THE WORLD WITH. NO GREATER EVIL IN HISTORY

Radionuclide Inundated Oceans
Only God knows how much Radioactive waste has run-off, from the Continental United states and Asia, are into the oceans. Only the God’s know how many barrels of nuclear waste from countries like France, The USA, and Russia Have been carted out on freightors into the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and dumped. The French Blew-up a Greanpeace ship by New Zealand for dogging one of Frances-Nuclear Waste-Dumping Freightors.
The Russians continue to have the least contained , most dangerous reactor designs in the world running on undependable mox made in Mayak. Two Russian reactots, may have already gone off since Chernobyl. You will not hear about that. There were elevated radiation readings in europe, since fukushima that came from russia and, stunk of highlevel reactor releases.
Busby used a Gamma Spectrometer off the coast of the Baltic Sea, by Russia and found that Ceceium 134 and 137 levels were twice, as high their, post Chernobyl as they should be, in 2017.
America is a radioactive crudhole , with places like Hanford, 3 mile island, Multiple open air nuclear tests for decades. 97 of the leakiest, oldest, most cracked, embrittled-nuclear reactors in the world. 10s of thousands of tons of the worst highlevel nuclear waste spread across the USA.
Now think about Russia and Japan and the Arctic ocean and Pacific ocean for a minute.
Many Places in Russia are so radioacive, one cannot stand for 30 minutes witout dropping dead. Russia has the distinction of being one of tge most radioactive country’s on earth! Up there with Japan and many places in America.
The CIA will tell you about Russia’s shrinking demographics but, they will not tell the truth about it.
Half the men and women in Russia have fertililiy problems, from massive radionuclide contamination. The CIA says it is from an aging Russian poulation and bad russian economy. I knew a Russian doctor that was in a port where a russian sub blew in the late 80s. She has had dysmennorhea and, has been bleeding since then.
The Russian’s run nuclear-powered ice breakers in the arctic. America is a radioactive shithole and so is Russia . The russians have dumped two hundred thousand tons of high level nuclear waste in the arctic ocean. That includes the old nuclear reactors it has pushed into the Arctic and baltic oceans and the old nuclear submarines there. Altogether there are probably a half million-tons of the highest level radionuclides dumped in the arctic ocean, from Russia, the Usa, France and England. Some of that high level waste is conatantly changing. Some has longer lasting, heat generating radionucleides like Pyrophic Plutonium
Uraniums
Strontiums THESE ARE STRONG
Cesium 134-137 BETA-GAMMA
Radioactive Cobalts EMITTERS
Germanium-72, 73, 74, 76
Arsenic-75
Strontiums 88-90
Polonium 220
Selenium-77, 78, 79, 80, 82
Bromine-81
Rubidium-85, 87
Iodine 129
Yttrium-89
Zirconium-90 to 96
Niobium-95
Technetium-99
Ruthenium-101 to 106
Things like strontium 90, plutonium and
CESIUM134-137 are migrating to the pacific ocean from the Arctic Ocean, so there is the Fukushima nuclear excrement in the Pacific and everything else.
The Russians brag about a floating reactor in the arctic . That crappy old reactor will dump nuclear waste into the ocean and forever be prone to exploding there. The Russians have dumped old nuclear submarines and old reactors in the arctic ocean. Americans and the UK and France have dumped subs into the oceans too.
