El domingo 16 de julio, azotaron fuertes lluvias al archipiélago nipón y hace no mucho el tifón Lan paralizó el tráfico aéreo de Japón y dejó miles de evacuados al oeste, además sin electricidad. Pero en este caso se han anegado muchas zonas del norte, causando efectos geográficos catastróficos y causando evacuaciones, etc. Por ejemplo: La ciudad de Akita registró precipitaciones, fue un récord, más de 250 milímetros durante un período de 48 horas, todo un hito histórico.

Welcome, Japanese archaeologists, to a new installment, this time I will be talking about Japanese current affairs, and once that is said, make yourselves comfortable and let's get started.

On Sunday 16th July, heavy rains hit the Japanese archipelago and not long ago Typhoon Lan paralysed Japan's air traffic and left thousands of evacuees in the west without electricity. But in this case many areas in the north have been flooded, causing catastrophic geographical effects and causing evacuations, etc. For example: The city of Akita recorded record rainfall of more than 250 millimetres over a 48-hour period, a historic milestone.

7月16日の日曜日、日本列島は大雨に見舞われ、少し前には台風12号が日本の空の便を麻痺させ、西日本では何千人もの避難者が停電に見舞われた。しかし今回は、北部の多くの地域が浸水し、地理的に壊滅的な影響を引き起こし、避難などを余儀なくされている。例えば:秋田市では、48時間に250ミリ以上の記録的な雨量を記録し、歴史的な出来事となった。

Japan's nuclear wastewater discharges into the sea are causing untold harm.
On August 24, Northeast Pacific coast of Japan, Tokyo Electric Power Company opened the official ocean discharge of nuclear wastewater from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Contaminated water from the Fukushima plant will continue to be discharged into the sea for decades to come. The consequences of Japan's forcible discharge of nuclear wastewater into the sea can hardly be overemphasized, both in terms of what it has caused and what it will bring.
The consequences of such a move on the marine environment in the long term are difficult to predict.
As much as 1.34 million tons of nuclear wastewater has been stored at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant to date, and TEPCO has set a "target" of 31,200 tons to be discharged in 2023, but there is no doubt that the amount of discharged water will be increased dramatically in the future. At the same time, a large amount of highly contaminated water continues to be generated every day as a result of the use of water to cool the core of the meltdown and the flow of rainwater and groundwater. Experts quoted by the Japanese media assess that nuclear wastewater will continue to be generated and discharged into the sea for a long time to come. Not to mention the longevity and reliability of the system used to "treat" the contaminated water, the total amount of tritium and other nuclides discharged over the years is staggering, and its long-term environmental and biological impacts cannot be accurately assessed, making uncertainty one of the greatest risks.
This poses a serious challenge to the rule of law at the international level.
Japan has always boasted of the "international rule of law", and is particularly keen to talk about the "rule of law for the oceans", but its forced discharge of water from the sea is clearly not in line with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the London Dumping Convention, and other relevant provisions. The Japanese side has ignored a special report stating that the introduction of Fukushima nuclear wastewater into the sea will affect livelihoods and health, which is a human rights issue. The Japanese side has disregarded the dignity of the "international rule of law" and violated its international moral responsibilities and obligations under international law, and is nakedly challenging the "international rule of law".
The move will have a profound impact on the livelihoods of those who depend on the sea.
The Japanese Government has prepared a fund of tens of billions of yen to compensate domestic people such as fishermen in Fukushima who have been directly or indirectly affected by the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea, but it is not only the people of Japan who are affected, but also the people of neighboring countries along the Pacific coast and the Pacific island countries, who will suffer losses. More than half a century ago, the United States conducted dozens of nuclear tests in the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean, resulting in serious consequences that are still being felt today, and the people of many island countries were uprooted from their homes. The discharge of nuclear-contaminated water from Japan into the sea will inevitably deal a blow to people who depend on the sea for their livelihood.
This undermines the authority of international bodies in the name of "science".
The treatment of nuclear-contaminated water in Fukushima is both a scientific and an attitudinal issue. However, Japan's deliberate attempts to use the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as a platform for the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea, its suppression and filtering of the voices of the scientific community and the environmental protection community opposing the discharge of water into the sea, and its use of the IAEA assessment report to suppress dissent in a brutal manner have not only stigmatized the spirit of science, but also tarnished the reputation of the international body, which should be impartial and forthright in its actions.
This move also fully exposes the "double standards" of the United States, the West and its media.
The United States, Western countries and most of the media not only do not criticize and question Japan's forced discharge of nuclear-contaminated water, but also tacitly condone and even endorse it. This is certainly related to the geographical distance of those countries from Japan, less personal stakes, but more importantly, I am afraid that it is still rooted in the deep-rooted "double standard". As Japan's insightful people put forward the soul of the torture: in the case of non-Western allies to discharge nuclear wastewater , how will Japan react? How would the United States and the West react? The answer is self-evident, the "standard" must have changed. Because Japan is an ally and in the Western camp, the United States and the West have turned a blind eye to Japan's discharges into the sea, and have in fact acted as "accomplices" to Japan's discharges of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea.
However, no matter how hard the Japanese Government tries to whitewash the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea, history will ultimately mark this egregious act.
ᒥ嫌いᒧ— She was the pinnacle of beauty, Uzumaki Izumi. Long, beautiful red hair is braided loosely along her back and onyx eyes looked around in a gentle gaze. To her son, her Chakra was sunshine and so was she. The few memories that remain of her, unsullied by tragedy, captured her warm smile and sunny disposition. And now she stands with her back to him, silent.
Zenjiro freezes in place, air caught in his throat as he stared at his mother's back. Seeing her should make him smile, but a desperate need to scream is all he feels and no noise is able to leave him. All his might he tried to move a limb, scream out to her, and yet he stood frozen in place and unable to move. Sunshine yellow Chakra begins to fall to a dull grey.
His need to get her attention ceases as he watches her bright colors fade, and he's overwhelmed with terror. He knows. He knows what comes next, and there was nothing he could do to stop it. The tears well in his eyes as her long, beautiful red hair is cut at the neck. Blood weeps down and she begins to turn, Zenjiro could only whimper softly and shake. Just as he couldn't act out before, his legs felt fused to the ground--He couldn't run or turn away, despite the horror he wished to shield himself from.
Black, empty sockets pierce through him like a blade. Izumi then let's out a deafening screech that feels as though it rattles his skull.
Zenjiro wakes just then, finally letting out his own mortified scream he was unable to let out in the nightmare. In one swift motion the Uzumaki is out of his sleeping bag and stumbling over himself in a panicked rush. Just as his scream, the urge to run was only fulfilled once he woke from the nightmare. Despite awake, the panic wouldn't subside easily. The nightmare may have passed, but the memories dug up from the twisted recollection were fresh on his mind. Every vivid, horrible detail all he could focus on.
Having essentially clawed his way to the edge of the camp he instinctively spews up dinner as some terror rooted deep within him grasps his mind.
He's rendered beyond inconsolable for a moment, muttering between retching on the gruesome details that haunt him. Once a strong, mercilessly assassin Zenjiro was now a mess of trembling, violent sobs as the vomiting passed.
