Let me be quite clear about
the situation.
Here at Excalibur Books, we
need your thoughts, your ideas and your comments. "3/11: The Fallout"
belongs to no specific religion or political affiliation. All it aims to do is
to make people think, and to ask questions.
Questions such as -
WHY have the families in
Tohoku made homeless in the 3/11 disaster been left to fend for themselves?
WHO is intent on restarting
Japan's nuclear program, despite the numerous safety problems and earthquake
threats?
WHAT would you do if your
home were destroyed by a natural disaster such as a flood, a hurricane, an
earthquake, or a tsunami?
You see, "3/11: The
Fallout" is not really about Japan. It's about what could happen in your own
backyard. Furthermore, this blog does not pretend to be the definitive word on
the subject. You will notice that because of time constraints and health
problems, we cannot write long blog posts anymore. All we can do is put links
together in one place where they can be useful.
So, we can't tell you to buy
the book, but we can ask you to at least think about it. We need Facebook
likes, we need Twitter followers, we need blog comments.
We need you to think about
what you would do, and what you would be capable of, if everything was suddenly
taken away.
If you want to do something to help the homeless families of Tohoku in their fight for justice, then go here.
If you want to follow us on Twitter, go here.
Now, on with today's links.
The movement to set up a network of Temporary Autonomous Zones (what are they?) in Tohoku gathers pace, with architect Shigeru Ban explaining how architecture can change the society that depends on it.
Shigeru Ban, The People's Architect
The destroyed Fukushima nuclear plant continues to be an environmental time bomb.
Massive leakage of radioactive water discovered
And finally, in "3/11: The Fallout" Patrick Fox discusses the draconian rules that the Japanese government uses to stifle forms of creative expression, seeking to blend everything into some harmless, mindless, kawaii, saccharine mush. Another journalist picks up on it here.
The War on Dance
Keep the Faith!
