Dear Friends,
Mr.Akio Matsumura,former UN advisor,one of my close collaborators,has sent me the attached message from one of his friends.
The radioactive contamination emanating from Fukushima reaches
undeniably the West Coast of The United States and now gives rise to
the sense of crisis among the local population thanks to his unceasing
endeavor.
With warmest regards,
Mitsuhei Murata
(Message from one of Mr. Matsumura’s friends)
Akio,
This is the most powerful statement I have heard from a Japanese
dignitary. Ambassador Murata haas the courage to speak the truth
as few others have dared. He has displayed his own sense of
honor, as I would hope more in Japan will do before it is too late. As
it is here in California, elected officials don’t display the courage
to speak the truth for of fear of powerful interests. As has been said
many times, the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is that good
people do nothing. Best, Gregg

Dear Gregg
I am conveying to you the important message of Ambassador Mitsuhei Murata on the situation of Fukushima nuclear accident.
Ambassador Murata has warned to the political leaders on the safety
issues of the nuclear energy policy long before the Fukushima nuclear
accident. Ambassador Murata made courageous appeal at the public
hearing of the House of Councilors of Japan.
He is greatly concerned about the health issues of children and women
in Fukushima, and he raises the deep concern on the potential risk to
participants in the Tokyo Olympic Games.
The public will raise the moral issues if the IOC continues to ignore the repeated requirements.

Dear Mr. Matsumura,
There is a move in Europe to organize demonstrations to express
serious concern as regards the health of children and women in
Fukushima, still under the nuclear emergency state decree. Outside
Japan, few believe the “under control” assertion.
As the Tokyo Olympic Games approaches, the concern will certainly deepen.
The participants in the Games may feel threatened and will naturally require
reevaluation of the problematic assertion. If the IOC continues to
ignore the repeated requirements, it will certainly face the flaring up
of criticism.
Japan should retreat from the “immoral and irresponsible” Tokyo Olympic Games
to save her honor. I believe it is not too late.
