Kabayama was a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly for the Liberal Democratic Party and had been measuring radiation in an assortment of locations throughout Tokyo.
He would then upload his findings to his blog for the world to read and on the day before he died (June 30, 2011) he measured 0.25 microSv/h in Mizumoto Park in the Katsushika ward located in Tokyo.
Fukushima Diary reported on February 22, 2012 via Gendai that ludicrously high levels of cesium contamination were discovered, also in Mizumoto Park.
These levels were so high that they "turned out to be the same level of [the] 'off-limits zone' in Chernobyl."
It is strange that this hasn't been brought to the public's attention sooner, because the fact that he was found at 3 AM July 1, 2011, meaning just a short while after he posted his update, is quite unusual.
Why would someone be taking radiation readings and updating their website the day that they were planning to kill themselves?
According to Fukushima Diary, none of his blog posts suggested that he might be suicidal and "he sounded motivated to measure around Tokyo," something which hardly seems befitting of someone on the verge of taking their own life.
This is not the only anti-nuclear official who has died in recent history. In fact, it was reported on January 3, 2012 that 64-year-old Uemura Yasuhiro, town councilor of Kowaura Minamiise Machi Mie was found dead in his car with a shotgun wound to the chest.
Yasuhiro was reportedly taking his shotgun to his farm to keep away crows. Police thought it was suicide or a gun accident, even though the shotgun was reportedly placed outside of the car.
He was an outspoken opponent of the construction of the Ashihama nuclear plant of Chubu Electric Power and after the Fukushima incident he began traveling around Japan lecturing about the dangers of nuclear power.
If only one official who came out against the horrors of Fukushima had perished in mysterious circumstances I would be more ready to discount the possibility of foul play.
However, when multiple bodies start piling up, all of which are connected to bringing the dangers of nuclear power into the sphere of public debate, I have to start wondering.
I don't know how it is in Japan, but here in the United States we have what I call a "dual justice system" which treats certain sectors of society completely differently than others.
On one side there is the ludicrously wealthy along with police, most politicians, most so-called officials, etc. and on the other side is the rest of us.
This allows for police to literally get away with murdering innocent tourists and brutally assault elderly people (with dementia no less) for no apparent reason only to get a written reprimand among other horrors.
Hopefully Japan is a little different and proper investigations into these mysterious incidents can be launched.
The only people who will ever know the truth will be the so called "conspiracy theorists" since we are the only group of people in the world who realize that people know how to make things unprovable and when there is uncertainty, there is ignorance, and where there is ignorance there is misconception, wrong ideas and wrong actions. You think you know shit? You know nothing. As soon as you think you know anything, you are dillusional. When you stop seriously contemplating, when you stop searching and digging through lies to get to the truth, and when you feel content with your knowledge, you are dillusional.
When you accept any information as truth and you haven't personally proven it, you are dillusional. It isn't until we truely realize what we are, that seeking information will become obsolete. You are only able to take in information and make sense of it, when you prepare yourself to. Otherwise you are just someone sitting there reading words and the meaning is cryptic and therefore you leave the article thinking incorrectly. You prepare yourself by searching for truth in a humble, unbias, objective way, everyday and realizing that if you read something that isn't complete, or does not fully explain or give you all of the answers and tells you to "stay tuned" or keep checkiing back for updates is bullshit. OBVIOUS bullshit. Only a "conspiracy theorist" mindset can break through lies and the bullshit that is keeping us from what we are really capable and deserving of.
The point is: That feeling you get when you read something that has a promising title and then doesn't explain anything of real importance. That is what I call the conspiracy theorist feeling. It's the feeling of curiosity getting punch in the face because it cant reconcile its curiosity with the information that (according to the title) was supposed to explain. People take this feeling and just dismiss it as "oh well", when that is what dillusional people do. Don't. Go somewhere else and read abou it. Dig, ask questions, post your thoughts. Make them realize that since we have the internet, they can not stop the truth, curiosity, and creativitiy AND JUSTICE from spreading faster than there bullshit lies. WAKE UP.
