Kelly Ann Thomas made this remark at Enenews in a forum about the death of a young journalist in Fukushima and I asked her if I could re-post her comment because it so thoughtfully expressed the feelings so many of us are struggling with at Enenews. She provided permission after my comment below.
This is the thread where she made the comment.
I am having a hard time focusing on
words because all I can think of are bodies of the walking dead. I am so sad
for Japan and for humanity. I wonder how many more people have already died
from radiation poisoning and we just haven’t been told the truth.
I don’t want to get used to the idea
that this is only the beginning of the first wave.
I look at the radiation maps
and I just cry. There is a certainty about Japan’s future. Sadness, despair,
melancholy, anger, frustration…and there isn’t anything I can do. Sometimes I
wonder why I keep coming back to Enenews a dozen times a day (probably more)
because the new gets worse and worse and there is all beyond my control.
In the
end there isn’t anything we can do, is there? Is that why Edgar Cayce said
Japan MUST fall into the ocean?
Is shutting down the other reactors before there
is no one else left alive to shut them down our only option?
As it gets worse, the resources will
dwindle and the remaining population will be left to fend for themselves in a
radioactive wasteland.
More than anything, it is the children that make me lose
it. I cannot stand the thought of millions of dying orphans, but that’s what
will happen, won’t it? What hope do any of those children have for a beautiful
future? It’s just so unfair – and the government and Tepco sit in shamed
silence, abandoning the children, abandoning their future.
The first wave is
just beginning. What will we see a year from now? I cannot begin to fathom this
layer of darkness that will envelope the world.
I hate that there isn’t anything I
can do to stop millions of people from dying from this catastrophe. I don’t
want to get used to this reality.
Majia: Kelly Ann,
may I re-post your comment here on my blog using your name as posted here?
I feel
exactly the same way you do.
I have
tried to get people I know to pay attention, but few will–and I hang out with
academics.
I cannot
believe the world would let this happen to the Japanese children without
demanding evacuation.
Basically,
it seems that if a country wants to slaughter their own, the world’s most
powerful nations are content to let that happen without raising a word of
concern.
Americans
and Canadians better look closely because they are next.
