Interview with Gordon Smith the Clairvoyant

On this podcast we interview Gordon Smith, the world renowned Clairvoyant.

Dedicated to the victims of the Japan Tsunami, Earthquake and nuclear disaster on the 5^th anniversary of the tragedy in 2011

“but the more human we get the less spiritual we get and the less connectivity we have to the planet; and the more we start to think we depend more on nuclear energy and oil then we don’t actually realise we serve the planet, we have no where to use these things and we wont have an existence, so we need to start being aware that the actual planet is a living being that produces life, constantly every year she gives us more ” – G. Smith 2016

First we decided to talk about the issue of the surveillance state and possible impacts to confidentiality issues with clairvoyants, counsellors and healers in the spiritualist community

He began by saying that he would not do a reading on the phone due to possible surveillance on such devices. He also said that even in his work he would not hold on to any information in his mind as he feels that honour requires that the messages he gives are to the individual concerned and not his business. He is only giving a message to the bereaved from the spirit world and his role in this is only temporary.

He also mentioned mediums who are trying to find Maddie McCann and he thought that such a reading would be only justified if the parents themselves asked for such a reading. Underpinning the personal nature of communication with Spirit and loved ones who are trying to contact them. He also said that using such gifts without such a personal connection was not correct.

“people doing it for their own end , which is non spiritual, when people are using that information to further their own career or gain money or in this day and age with the technical side where they are grabbing everyone’s information, how spirit would have a say on that, I don’t know, but I think it would be down to the individual and your conscience as how it would be , is it right or is it not? Part of my practice as a medium is to be self aware, so being self aware tells you , that doesn’t feel right to share that stuff or to nick somebodies information”

“In such a sensitive case I would never want to go near that case (Maddie McCann) unless the parents themselves asked , once again it comes back down to their willingness or their need if they felt that was an option then i would have a go to try and help the family.”

He then said that other people who contact the police are wrong and the information is a load of rubbish. And they mislead the police .

“Its a wrong thing to try and tune into to somebodies life because thats intrusive, if someone doesn’t ask for a reading then no one should be volunteering information to them”

I mentioned that the fact that there was no success from mediums who have tried that might point to the fact that the spirit world would not allow such a thing. Gordon then went on to say that;

“They absolutely wouldn’t and one of the reasons I say that, is I have worked on many cases like the the Maddie McCann case and some I have got absolutely nothing Shaun and that tells me spirit are not willing to give up information .” … “ sometimes I would get very accurate information to help the situation and other times you get absolutely nothing” … “ sadly for the Maddie case I was asked by people to do it and not by the family, and to me, as long as they have nothing from a medium that their kid is not any longer living in this world, then they still have hope, and who is anybody to take that away without being asked? I think that is quite a horrible thing”

Gordons new book is on the bereavement of siblings and was sourced from childrens hospices. The book is aimed at children but has been well received by adults who have had previews. It is an emotional roller coaster of a read.

Jimmy then brought the issue that Gordon was talking about everyone having a six sense. He mentions the psychological longing people have for a lost one but says there is a difference when a person has an other worldly experience. Such as vivid dreams where a hand is touched and felt or similar strong associations. Gordon believes that this type of dream is likely to be a spiritual connection and synchronicity incidents in waking life could also be from spirit also. He does say that the sixth sense is very misunderstood because people try to use this sense constantly and think spirit can solve all their problems which would be against natural law. He also points out that man has always tried to contact his ancestors since man has been on this planet.

Jimmy points out that some people seem to go mad and immerse themselves in the occult. Gordon replied that the first thing he does when teaching the subject is to take the mysticism out of mediumship and points out to his students that the mind can draw them into an unreal world and he encourages them to stay grounded and to stay in the real world. He points out that if you stay in the lower thinking mind that that is where you would find hauntings and things like that.

“ There is no such thing as a haunted house guys, there are only haunted people” he said.

Gordon said that formal spiritualists churches grade and vet the prospective mediums and healers and that they are in safe grounded environments.

“there is nothing to fear but fear its self”

Gordon and the Scientists

We then discuss Gordons interaction with scientists, specifically Prof. Archie Roy from Glasgow University who wrote some papers on Gordons unique abilities and the renowned sceptic Prof Chris French from Goldsmiths University London. Gordon then goes on to say that he has been around scientists from a young age and Archie Roy was his sons lecturer and this has helped his perception on how the spirit world connects with ours. He goes on to say that the spirit world will be proven through science in the same way that radiation can be seen with “a Geiger counter”.

From his experience he feels different atmospheres or energies and he thinks that these will be able to be analysed and then goes on to recount a recent experiment with technology that is used for prosthetic limbs where a researcher hooked himself up to a computer and was able to project into the computer his thoughts. On the issue of religion he said that;

“Romanticism or feelings can kill fact” and therefore the scientific method is how the physical evidence will be generated.

“I would in my lifetime love to see something factual that is recorded through science.”

On healing Gordon mentions that healing is very regulated. He mentions healers in the past who could literally see into the body, but today he said that there are so many healers that it is heavily regulated and monitored and he said that where there are natural healers born to it, that he hoped that these healers would be tested and real data gathered as to the abilities they have such a diagnosis. Some blind tests on natural healers that have been done have shown some promise.

We then go onto restrictions with psychics in Europe and Gordon thinks that these are really aimed at unregulated phone line psychics, magazine psychics and didn’t effect professional organisations in Europe.

“I was offered 8 million dollars to do phone lines in America, 8 million dollars! To take phone calls, use my name and my face as the clairvoyant you can phone .. but its not ethical”

He goes on to say that only a few of the mediums that take part in that business are actually genuine. He then said that in the UK the witchcraft act was changed to the fraudulent mediums act and by inference that met there was genuine mediums. A new law (the consumer protection act) that was brought in dampened that inference down though. He said that it doesn’t matter if you are a genuine medium . He also says that many of his colleagues work for the churches for free allowing donations or charges to go to the churches and organisations to keep them going.

Darren Brown debunking fraudulent mediums

On Darren brown setting up readings using body language, pre researching sitters and other psychological techniques Gordon said that he was happy that Darren was showing how fraudulent mediums might work but real mediums can give information not readily available on the internet or by other techniques. Gordon said that to find a good reliable medium that they can be sourced in spiritualists churches or by using the internet with reliable sources.

Environment

Jimmy brings up issues around the Fukushima disaster and the BP oil spill as well as general damage that man is doing to the planet. Gordon mentions that humans have become more technical and have moved away from their spiritual values ..

“We are bleeding the planet of its oil, its blood if you like”

He said that man will live with the effects that he has caused himself and the rights and wrongs of it will come out.

“but the more human we get the less spiritual we get and the less connectivity we have to the planet; and the more we start to think we depend more on nuclear energy and oil then we don’t actually realise we serve the planet, we have no where to use these things and we wont have an existence, so we need to start being aware that the actual planet is a living being that produces life, constantly every year she gives us more ”

He goes on to say that the fear of losing things we are comfortable with (especially with the younger generation) and general fear of our situation may be the trigger that helps us to change because that fear the planet feels for the damage caused is feeding back to us all.. He talks about Karma for those that are responsible also.

Gordon on activism

Gordon says that we “should wake up and smell the karma” and thinks that activists are doing a good thing and are compassionate but they are at risk because

“The powers that be are not ready to tell the public what is really going on”

On Gay rights .

Gordon thinks that in the UK and Scotland the battle is largely won and in 10 years this will be a non issue and that the real battles were fought and won in the 1950`s 60`s and 70`s . Some work needs to be though in terms of civil partnership and law.

London Spiritualism Mission

On the changing face of UK spiritualism. He sees that the Christian church model format is a bit old fashioned for modern people. And he rates the teaching classes as a good way forward teaching the helping with others and learning counselling to support damaged people better. There is a cry for change and Gordon said that this would happening naturally. His church in Pembridge has an eclectic mix with a wide range of cultures and is popular.

Gordon and the media

Alot of journalists have interviewed Gordon and they initially approach him with some scepticism but as they see how he works (the quality of his readings) and his natural pleasant personality they all seemed to leave with a better view on his work.

Takahamagenpatsu Units 3 and 4 operation command stop temporary injunction decision
O’clock March 9 19 34 minutes
Takahamagenpatsu Units 3 and 4 operation command stop temporary injunction decision
For Takahama Nuclear Power Station Unit 3 and Unit 4 in Fukui Prefecture, Otsu District Court, as “I fear that residents of life and property is threatened is higher, Kansai Electric Power is not doing explained ensure the safety” for the first time against the nuclear power plant in operation, it issued a decision of provisional disposition order a stop of operation. Kansai Electric Power Co. has decided to lodge an objection, but no longer must be stopped as soon as possible reactor by this decision.
The Kansai Electric Power Co., Takahamagenpatsu Unit 3 and Unit 4 in Fukui Prefecture, Shiga Prefecture of 29 inhabitants, last January before the re-operation, had filed a provisional disposition to seek the suspension of operation. For this, Yoshihiko presiding judge Yamamoto of Otsu District Court on March 9, issued a decision to call a halt of Unit 3 and Unit 4 of the operation.
Determining fault of investigation, “Kansai Electric Power Co. has made in the vicinity of the nuclear power plant is in, after not been thoroughly carried out in all of the neighborhood, there is no scientifically objection small sample method for evaluating the maximum of the shaking of an earthquake He pointed out that can not be considered “a way. Sonouede, “accident measures and tsunami measures in light of the nuclear accident in Fukushima, despite the high risk, which is also threatened life and property. Residents that questions remain about the evacuation plan, Kansai Electric Power Co. for ensuring the safety of the description as doing is not “, it issued a decision to call a halt of Unit 3 and Unit 4 of the operation.
Decision further, “in order to avoid seriously size (gentleman) to face the same kind of an accident of the Fukushima accident, but essential to carry out the investigation of the cause thoroughly, is the company’s explanation of this point not enough. I pointed out that the very feel anxiety, “if this is the attitude that does not focus on the cause of investigation, such as a company.
Kansai Electric Power Co., which is a policy challenge to seek the cancellation of the decision of the 9th, provisional disposition is no longer should immediately order to effect occurs, if not promptly stop the Unit 3 of the nuclear reactor in operation. The determination of the provisional disposition order a stop of the operation of the nuclear power plant in operation is the first time.
Takahamagenpatsu is, Unit 3 in this year January, the Unit 4 in the last month, but was re-run under the new regulatory standards, in the Unit 4 reactor on September 29 three days after the re-operation is automatic trouble to stop has occurred. In addition, around the Unit 3 and Unit 4 Takahamagenpatsu, Fukui District Court last year in April, but was a decision of provisional disposition do not allow the re-operation, another of the presiding judge this decision of the Fukui District Court in December last year cancellation, and the decision to allow the re-operation.
Petition to the court to seek so as not to operate the nuclear power plant is not one after another across the country in the wake of the nuclear accident five years ago, this decision, which ordered a stop to the nuclear power plant in the running, the impact on the future of the trial around the country It will also be expected to give.
Kansai Electric Power Co. to tomorrow 20:00 around shutdown
Kansai Electric Power Co. has held a press conference at the head office of the Osaka Kita-ku, from 9:00 pm 6. Company side in this is, for Unit 3 of the nuclear reactor in operation, enter the stop work from around 10:00 Sunday morning 10, it has revealed a policy to stop at around 20:00.
Sonouede, as the determination of the provisional disposition not possibly be approved, it was to clarify the policy of the appeal to the court to seek the decision of the revocation order a stop of operation.
On the other hand, Kansai Electric Power Co., last month, along with the re-operation of the nuclear power plant, but had announced a policy of price cuts the electricity charges from May this year, in May at the company side, the determination of the provisional disposition at a press conference of the 9th price cut from showed a recognition that became difficult.
Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc. “lodge promptly appeal that unacceptable.”
The determination of the provisional disposition Kansai Electric Power Co. announced the comments considered “extremely not available understanding of our claims in court regret, not as it can possibly Shofuku. In accordance with this decision, Takahamagenpatsu while driving safety a top priority to stop the Unit 3, but carried out the procedure for promptly appeal the future, so that’ll cancel the provisional disposition order at an early stage, we are and do our best “to prove that the claim of Takahamagenpatsu Unit 3 and Unit 4 of safety.
Chief Cabinet Secretary “re-running policy is unchanged.”
Kan Chief Cabinet Secretary 9 days of afternoon press conference, “We are aware of is that the provisional disposition order came out, but heard not yet reported for more information,” it was said. Sonouede, but Chief Cabinet Secretary, “Takahama Nuclear Power Station Unit 3 and Unit 4, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that independent is, over a period of ten minutes time from a professional point of view, determined to meet the new regulatory standards, which is said to be the world’s highest level the are those who, as the government, to respect its decision, he said the change is not “on the policy to promote the re-operation.
And, but Chief Cabinet Secretary said that “the country is not a matter of the parties, essentially because it is the disposal of temporary, because it is the party Kansai Electric Power think that decide the future of the correspondence, I want to be watching as a nation.” year.
Complex reaction to the shutdown
For that Takahama decision of provisional disposition order the shutdown of the nuclear power plant Unit 3 and Unit 4 has been issued, from the residents of Fukui Prefecture Takahama was heard voice to concerns about the impact of the future.
Of these, men of the 60’s, but was surprised to learn the news of the contents of the “decision, it can not be understood as the residents of the location municipality to stop a moving nuclear power plant. In the future, not to be driving other nuclear power plant it is difficult or “and we were talking. In addition, 60-something women, “but can also be seen opinion that nuclear power is dangerous, because Takahamagenpatsu there is re-running finally region had just start moving towards the activation, mixed feelings but” had been talking to.
On the other hand, 20 generations of women, and “I think to worry about the safety of nuclear power plants and listen to today’s decision, once in terms of taking the measures carried out an investigation to stop the operation, I want to safely re-running” We were talking.
Residents and the defense team is debriefing “excitement about standing goose bumps.”
Residents and lawyers had filed a provisional disposition this time of Shiga Prefecture, held a briefing in Otsu city. In this, Yoshinori Tsuji of representatives of the residents (69), when we saw the main text of the decision should not be driving a “Takahamagenpatsu Units 3 and 4, the goose bumps were impressed enough to stand. Court residents who in response to the wishes. March 11th before we put out such a decision, he said the thought of presiding judge have also been transmitted. ”
In addition, well Kenichi lawyer to serve as defense chief in the trial of the “In the past, nuclear power plant was able to prove that it is safe as long meet the criteria of the country. For the power company, but the proof was that simple, this time in the decision is not only whether to pass the regulatory standards, in light of the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant pointed out that how has taken a specific safety measures have been considered “, the court showed a” calm judgment I said that I would like to express my deep respect. “

The IAEA tries to cover up another nuclear health issue in Europe!

 Update The real problem is for children and pregnant women near the Ringhals NPP who were under the more dense plume.

Posted by Shaun McGee

Posted to http://www.europeannewsweekly.wordpress.com

Over the course of the last week Ringhals nuclear power plant in western Sweden has been releasing a variety of isotopes including;

Iodine 131, Cesium 134 and 137, Cobalt 60, Beryllium 7, Cerium 144, Tellurium 132

Source; http://eurdepweb.jrc.ec.europa.eu/EurdepMap/Default.aspx

The spike that was recorded on the top right graph registered at 0.8 mcSv/h but there were gaps in the record as you can see for the days previous to that. This is indicative, I believe, of higher spikes that have been covered up by the IAEA in Germany who have access to the EURDEP main frame.

The graph on the bottom right is a reading from Finland that has a gap that hides another peak a couple of days ago.

It is interesting to note that the nuclear regulatory and monitoring group STUK from Finland released a press release on the 8th March 2016 after the radioactive plume had passed. and the small amount left in the air was measured and reported publicly. In the press release they deny knowledge of the source of the plume although they have access to the more comprehensive monitoring system that is not available to the public. The press release with the frightening headline is here; http://www.finlandtimes.fi/health/2016/03/08/25649/Huge-radioactive-cesium-detected-in-Helsinki . Also, they do not mention Iodine 131 that was present in similar amounts nor do they mention the types of other isotopes that their system also measures.

The real problem is for children and pregnant women near the Ringhals NPP who were under the more dense plume. Ian Fairlie proved that these releases cause leukemia in children and other scientists like Christopher Busby would claim that there would be other health effects from these dense plumes on the population affected, both adult and children. Because the plume was occurring for nearly a week, we could assume that the downwind areas might have been Denmark, Norway, and Sweden with Finland hit to a lesser degree (At least STUK did report this nuclear incident) depending on the wind directions.

Germany would normally warn locals that a release was going to happen so people would be able to move away for a day or two until the plume dissipated. As this release from Sweden went on for a week it is likely that Ringhals NPP had some problems and this might not have been a simple refuel or SCRAM situation.

On the anniversary of Fukushima, it is obvious that European nuclear interests have tried to cover this situation up. But that didnt work this time.

Say No To Nukes! Say YES to Wind Solar! Protect our children!

I have reported this extra information to the Finland Times so that they can update the story for better accuracy (2nd attempt 🙂 )

UPDATE;

Swedish cover up off nuclear accident/fault ??
just a quick update on my article on the Ringhals NPP in Sweden.. I contacted someone via the STUK site as to why the  radiation monitor was showing signs of switch offs etc and i did not get a response yet but instead the data was deleted from the other nearest Gottenburg monitor Eurdep.. Hmm? They are trying to blame the Russians and probably dont want RT to get hold of this info
here is the email i sent last week ,,

Dear Mr Leppänen
Due to the recent report in the Finland Times i decided to check the EURDEP mapping system to see if the report was true or not.
I found that the report was true and decided to do due diligence and checked to see if other isotopes might be present.

Using the Tool tip function yesterday I found that there was a similar amount of Iodine 131 to cesium 137 and other isotopes such as Cs 134, Cobalt 60, Beryllium 7, Cerium 144, Tellurium 132. That was all the isotopes present I could find.

I then set Eurdep to maximum and found that the nearest monitor to Rhinghals MPP in Sweden had just had a high peak to some 0.8 mcSv/h (800 nSv/h Gamma) .. On checking further it became apparent that the monitor had had data deleted going back to December 2015.

I might also point out that the monitor showed a higher level of radiation by some 15 – 20 percent (approx) after the peak that can still be seen today. I then decided to see if any activity had been seen on any other monitors that showed activity over the last week and found some corroboration in Stavanger and List in Norway (though the Eurdep map had been disconnected for Norway for some reason i accessed more accurate files from the Radnett monitoring system direct. Also gaps in the data for today on a Latvian monitor.

Then i checked the weather reports for the previous week and found that prior to the report the wind was from the west and south and only changed to coming from the east on the day of the Finland Times article. And I might point out that they said STUK were still investigating the source of the cesium. Then the story was picked up in Cyprus and that article mentioned the wind coming from the east as a possible source of contamination and no mention of the equal quantity of Iodine 131 from either article, nor any other isotopes.

I can supply screenshots of my findings but are aware that you would have access to the non public and more detailed EURDEP mapping system.
Now the isotopes are not available on the public mapping system.

As a concerned citizen, I wonder if you could clarify the situation?
My understanding is that Rhingals NPP appears to have multiple releases, possibly over some months. The iodine 131 means that the contamination is from a working reactor and the above information i have garnered points to the longevity and direction of the contamination.

Sorry to have bothered you but it is in the public interest and following Prof Ian Fairlies Peer reviewed paper on Child leukemia in children around NPP`s caused by large spikes of condensed release gases, that this situation be looked at in the interests of transparency and as a point of public safety.
Please feel free to ask me for any further information on any of my findings or thoughts on the matter.
I look forward to your response.
Yours sincerely
Shaun McGee

The Women of Fukushima speak out

Six Japanese women offer brutally honest views on the state of the clean-up, the cover-ups and untruths since the nuclear accident in Fukushima, and how it has affected their lives, homes and families.

6人の日本人女性が、福島原発事故以降の汚染除去の現状、隠ぺいと嘘について包み隠さぬ本音を打ち明け、そして事故が彼女たちの人生、故郷、家族にどのような影響を及ぼしたかについて語ります。

Since the three reactors went into meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in 2011, a broad, disparate anti-nuclear movement has developed throughout Japan. Nowhere is that more apparent, perhaps, than in Fukushima prefecture, where a group of local women boldly protest the deafening silence of the Japanese government over the worst nuclear accident of this century. Largely ignored by their own media, these brave women brush aside their cultural shyness and share their brutally honest views on the state of the cleanup, the cover-ups, the untruths and the stagnant political climate in today’s Japan. Supported with haunting footage from abandoned towns around the plant, the Women of Fukushima (“Fukushima no Onnatachi”) offers startlingly candid insights, in the women’s own voices, about what has become of their lives, homes, and families in the aftermath of 3/11.

Women of Fukushima has proudly received the following awards:

Honorable Mention

London Lift-Off Film Festival, UK, 2012

Best Mid-Length Documentary

Reel Earth Film Festival, New Zealand, 2013

Best Short Documentary

Social Media Impact Awards, 2013

福島第一原子力発電所で３基の原子炉がメルトダウンを起こしてから１年以上。さまざまな人々による大がかりな反原発運動が日本国内で拡大しつつあります。 この運動がもっとも顕著なのは、おそらく福島県でしょう。そこでは地元の女性グループが勇敢にも立ち上がり、今世紀最悪の原発事故に対する日本政府の沈黙 に抗議しているのです。国内メディアにほとんど無視されてきたこの勇敢な女性たちは、内気な県民性を脇へ押しやり、現在の日本における汚染除去の現状や隠 ぺい、嘘、そして停滞した政治情勢について包み隠さぬ率直な意見を公表しています。立ち入り禁止区域内や周辺の荒れ果てた無人の村々の貴重な映像と共に、 「福島の女たち」は3･11によって彼女たちの人生、故郷、家族がどのような影響を受けたのかについての驚くほど率直な見解を、彼女たち自身の声で伝えま す。

Fukushima Health study March 2016 some thoughts with video

Published by Shaun McGee aka Arclight

Some thoughts on the recent Fukushima health study press conference

Bearing in mind that if Hokuto Hoshi said anything different he would have been liable to prosecution because of the Japanese Secrets Law. He did say that he could not say that the Thyroid cancers found were caused by radiation nor were they proven to be not caused by radiation @28 mins and then later @54 minutes he replied that there MIGHT be some problems with initial dose estimates…

Also, during the conference, the fact that children under 5 had no cancers was interesting and this fact was not explored. In Chernobyl we see continuing cases of thyroid cancer but no Iodine 131 present , so what is causing both the cancers in Chernobyl areas and Fukushima areas? Is it because the younger children were better protected from contamination than the school children at the time? Do Cesium isotopes cause thyroid cancer? did the school children get higher contamination eating the local food and cleaning up the school areas?

It is common for children to clean the school and serve the food in Japan and did this cultural trait cause the thyroid cancers we see?..

Also, he did say that their is a problem including children over 13 in the survey because they are over 18 and may not be included in the statistics (but no one asked him to explain this issue in detail ie no actual statistics) .. The question on the elderly was interesting as he said that the survey team did not work with elderly etc evacuees but this was left to the prefecture authorities to deal with and we know that the prefecture will not discuss any health related issues that are not mental health related. .

Towards the end of the session he mentioned that using a baseline in a clean area might cause stress for the unaffected population and therefore no such study was planned (so no baseline for the Fukushima study?? ) .. When asked if the Fukushima doctors were compromised as they just blame psychological stresses causing health effects, he said that the doctors were not compromised (even though they would face criminal prosecution if they said anything different)

Prof Tsuda`s Thyroid study was not mentioned by the press or himself, but he intimated that doctors outside the prefecture were not necessarily more reliable than the Fukushima doctors..

“…Would the investigations into the causes of the Fukushima nuclear accident and the collusive relations between coopted regulators and the utilities that compromised reactor safety have been made public under the new law?

The reason why the public and media pressured the government to enact the national Information Disclosure Law in 2001 was because similar prefectural and local ordinances had exposed extensive malfeasance by bureaucrats and their squandering of vast sums on lavish wining and dining in the 1990s….”

Japan -High-school girl crusading against voter apathy

http://dailywitness.com/feature-high-school-girl-crusading-against-voter-apathy/

Image courtesy of Ploughshares.org

Aine, a 16-year-old high school girl, is a new breed of political activist. Leading a protest group of high school students, she is trying to make change happen in a country of endemic voter apathy that is feared to be drifting dangerously to the right.

Aine, who uses only her first name, formed the group, T-nsSOWL, in June last year together with other like-minded high school students. The group’s name is purported to stand for “Teens Stand up to Oppose War Law.”

The name is a reference to a set of new national security laws championed by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to pave the way for the Self-Defense Forces to play a more active role overseas, an initiative seen by some people as a breach of the war-renouncing provision of the Japanese Constitution. The laws were enacted last September.

Aine’s group organizes protest activities in the busy streets of Shibuya and Harajuku in Tokyo, which are the haunts of high school students and other young people.

During last year’s Christmas season, it staged a protest march in Harajuku. To the tune of music flowing from a truck leading the march, Ryuki, 18, another group leader who also uses only his first name, cried out rap-ish slogans like “Protect the Constitution,” “Don’t kill anybody” and “Don’t look down on the people.”

Aine was clad in her school uniform as she led the march, which was joined by around a thousand protesters. Onlookers were using smartphones to take shots of the rare sight of high school students spearheading a political protest activity. To those people, Aine called out: “We are demonstrating against the national security laws. Let’s march together.”

Aine’s family background apparently had little influence in setting her on this course of activism. She lives with her parents, who work in building-related jobs and do not bring up politics at the dinner table.

Something akin to political awareness grew within her after the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011, which took place when she was in her last year at elementary school. She began to sense a disconnect between what politicians were saying and what was actually happening.

Huge tsunami waves triggered by the Great East Japan Earthquake damaged reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station, spreading radioactive fallout, but the government continued to downplay the health risk. Meanwhile, the areas around the doomed nuclear plant have been kept off-limits for residents, many of whom still live in makeshift homes.

“That struck me as odd,” Aine said. “There were things that were too difficult to understand, but even children could see something was wrong.”

Over the following years, Japan’s political landscape changed. The Liberal Democratic Party, which has ruled Japan for most of the postwar period, took back power from the Democratic Party of Japan, and the Abe government arrived with a national security agenda that aroused suspicions that he would take Japan away from its pacifist path.

For Aine, the defining moment came on a December day in 2014, just before the last general election. Having gone through the ordeal of a term-end examination, Aine went shopping in Shibuya with friends, before moving on to the neighborhood of the Diet building. The area had become the locus of antigovernment protest around that time, later attracting droves of people outraged at the Abe government’s attempt to railroad the national security bills through parliament despite widespread voter reservations.

On that day, more than a thousand protesters were rallying against Japan’s new secrecy law, which toughens penalties for leakers of state secrets, in front of the nearby prime minister’s official residence under the leadership of a students’ group which would later evolve into SEALDs, a major protest movement against the new security legislation. Despite the intensity of such protest activities, voter indifference remained a problem, with the turnout at the general election falling to a record low of 52 percent.

Inspired by her experience of the protests around the Diet, Aine started to join protest rallies, and she got to know other students who would later become her allies in T-nsSOWL.

Aine said she did not feel uneasy, as a typical Japanese would do, about joining marches and rallies as a means to express protest. There is nothing special about ordinary people participating in such activities, she said, citing the kind of epoch-making popular movements that are taken up by history textbooks.

Talking about the history of her protest activities, Aine named a string of political events on which she has kept tabs. Among them were the landslide victory of Abe’s LDP in the 2014 general election, Abe’s visit to the United States to cement ties with Japan’s major military ally, and the hustle and bustle over the deliberation and enactment of the national security bills.

Aine’s group has now around 70 members, including 35 in the Kanto region that includes Tokyo. For her, talking with the group’s members about politics, war and peace is a valuable experience that can’t be gained in the classroom.

She is also hoping that her group’s activities will inject a breath of fresh air and a dose of energy into Japanese politics by shaking the business-as-usual mindset of politicians and by helping to nudge voters to the polls. “If high school students show interest in politics and go as far as to join demonstration activities, that will keep politicians on their toes and have an impact on ordinary people as well,” she said.

In the elections to the House of Councillors, the upper chamber of parliament, scheduled for this coming summer, high school students will cast ballots for the first time in Japan as the minimum voting age is lowered from 20 to 18. Unfortunately, Aine will be one year shy of the age limit at that time. But she is “not that disappointed,” saying what she cares about most is her fight against voter apathy.

Species decline found in area south of Fukushima N-plant

The National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES) revealed that the total number of sessile species, such as barnacles and snails, has been decreasing significantly along the coast within 10 kilometers south of the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant since the accident there in 2011.

Although the exact relevance to the accident is unclear, according to the institute’s analysis there is the possibility that the mass death of sessile species was influenced by radioactive materials released into the sea.
