You can watch some Japanese TV channels with free livestream on the internet. Here is the link

TV Japan (NHK World) is broadcast partly in Enlish spoken word and partly in Japanese with English subtitles.

As I am writing this they are calling for evacuation around one or more of the nuclear plants which they think might be leaking or are known to be leaking radioactive particles.



Kudos to Shaw.Anyone think that Telus will follow suit?
I know Rogers is doing the same thing for their subscribers too. Not sure about the phone calls , but for the TV they are. Kudos to shaw for providing communication for their customers with friends and families in Japan
It looks like the end of the world happening north of Tokyo. The UNBC president is from Japan too, but he comes from one of the islands in the southern part, which is less affected this time.
A year ego, a massive 7M earthquake hit less than 100km to his island.

People are starting panic because of the reactor. They shown an explosion there this morning. Yesterday they said radioactive steam was being released but today after the explosion radiation is getting less. Huh? Releasing steam radioactive, plant has an explosion everything is under control. But I guess you have to report that as mass panic in Tokyo is going to be worse than the Tsunami.
My thoughts are with the people in Japan.
What happened there is a tragedy for many.

With the news of further problems at the nuclear ractor in Japan.
How long for a radioactive cloud to reach North America from Japan on the jetstream?
metalman.
Sorry about the novel too much evidence to ignor.

Omg I can't believe this tv coverage of japan on shaw, have we seen enough on the news. It's what the government wants non-stop coverage of the middle east and now japan, let me break it down to you. Look at all the recent earth changes we have been experiencing since 2004 all planets warming up, increasing sun activities, major superstorms taking place everywhere, magnetic poleshifting since 2004 and becomming dramatic today, irregular weather causing food shortages, increased volcano eruptions including the 5 volcanoes that erupted the same time as the 8.9 in japan 2 in russia, 2 in japan and 1 in indonesia none reported on the mainstream news why's that? Wobble in the earths rotation getting worse causing unnormal weather as we're seeing today world wide, sunrise comming 2 days early in Greenland aswell the moon out of place, Fema buying half a billion on supplies for a New Madrid Fault exercise you wonder why there spending all that money if it's an exercise cause they know what's comming, increased earthquakes along the ring of fire that are not reported on the mainstream media that is reported on the USGS website not tomany people pay attention too and maybe we should. I watch what i can on Japan's quake and last time i checked they said japan was hit by 19 aftershocks wow how incredible how they misinform us all, on the USGS website infact japan was hit by 67 aftershocks and counting 50 of them 5.0 and higher with 17 6.3 and higher theres movement along the ring of fire and it's only to get worse first christchurch and now Japan so close together mmm interesting. Here's the big one sudden 2010 discovery of a mystery comet approaching earth by a Russian astromonor using a little 18-inch telescope? All these undergound bunkers you hear being built all across the world that are dramatically increasing (if the government tells you something it's true but if this information is from another soarce it's known as a conspiracy. This media coverage all over the middle east and now 24/7 on japan its a way to keep everybody looking down when they should be looking up. On Feb 17th Nasa made a discovery of Tyche from a russian astromonor intailed a discovery of a planet a gas giant 4 times the size of jupiter IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM (look it up it's true)and the scary thing is this giant is passing through our solar system right now. This Tyche being so huge is causing all planets including earth to wobble which is causing all our unexplained events world wide from increase volcanic activities, and earth quakes and sun activities and is only getting worse. Look on the usgs website you will see all the earthquakes and volcanic activities happenning and there increasing daily. You have all these exercises happenning all around the world for earthquakes like recently here in BC earlier this year some 400,000 participated and England a country not prone to earth quakes holding a country wide exercise. Something there not telling us thats comming, you don't need to be a rocket scientist to put all this events into place that something is fishy, Whats causing all the animal die-offs for example the fish,crabs,jellyfish,dolphins washing ashore world wide they say something must have scared them to swim to the shore and causing a lack of oxygen come on now, what they don't tell you and what you can find on the USGS site is the earth quakes are increasing not just on land but on the ocean floors aswell. An earth quake happens it opens a crack which releases methane gas from below the earths crust which is causing all these die-offs. I'm sorry for this to be so long but theres so much evidence out there that needs to be looked at to connect the dots that theres more going on then the government/media is tell you. The government controls the media and what they want you to know or see gets filted through the media thats why all major coverage is the same wording and the same videos so before you see see it they cut and edit it all just like a movie. Over the years you heard of Planet X, Nibiru, Wormwood, Destroyer, Darkstar and countless others just maybe theres some truth to it, the government says theres no such thing and theres nothing to worry about do you believe them honestly do you? If an astroid was heading to earth and they knew a year in advance will they tell you of coarse not it will cause mayhem chaos world wide. Theres something out there and too much evidence out there to not atleast look into it. The closer this thing gets the more havac it will cause on earth. Believe me or not but if more and more events like japan start happenning in the near future bewarned. Last thing.. For example if you had a large magnet and a small magnet and you put the two closer together what happens? the smaller one will shift and align to the larger one now this planet comming into our solar system being so huge will have a huge gravitational pull on the earth and the closer it gets the earths axis will start to wobble to a point it will shift to align with this planet(Tyche) which easy terms will cause a pole shift and this has gone viral on the web that march 15th 2011 there will be a pole shift 1 of 3 that will happen during the coase of the year as this planet passes through thats why the USA government is pushing for a "internet kill switch" to stop this and trying to keep this quite (look it up)aswell pole shift. Thats why all this media on japan middle east is to get everyone to watch and keep looking down and not look up and see whats comming. You think Japan was hit hard just wait till what comes next there has been increasing activity off the coast of Oregon and Yellowstone where miles of ground dramatically lifted in ares by 11 inches wow thats huge maybe then you might start connecting the dots.
The earth is a large magnet. The sun is an even bigger magnet. If another planetary body enters our solar system on it's 2300 year orbit it will cause things to happen. The inbound planet, you guessed it, is another magnet. As this planet gets closer the earth and sun's magnetic fields will be altered somewhat by the incoming magnet.
Play with some magnets on the table for review. This strains not only the earth but the sun as well. The sun is nearing the end of it's 12 year cycle where solar activity is increasing. If this so called planet X is inbound then it's magnetic field could cause more solar activity. The incoming planets magnetic field will strain the earth as well causing more than normal earth quakes and volcanic eruption.

Interesting time this is. Hang on to you hats!

An interesting 10 minute video.

noseverence it's actually 3600 year orbit but atleast someone else knows whats comming and sees the evidence of all the earths activity in recent years as it increases the closer it gets. To many events are happenning to close together.
Good luck to you.
I stand corrected.

Just seen on CNN that the quake caused Japan to rise up 8 feet. The quake also caused a slight pole shift of the earths axis. There is also conflicting reports about those reactors being okay or in the process of meltdown. They just had another aftershock so this isn't over. Unfortunately it's going to get worse not better.

noseverance.. not just japan rised up 8 feet the whole country moved 3 meters to the east so it says on the news. Another thing I thought of due to the power plant meltdown due to no power for the cooling system thats happenning, in 2012 nasa talking about suns activities and possible a solar flare to hit the earth big enough that it could wipe out the world as we know it knocking out the electrical grid for 2 to 4 years now just imagine this happenning not just no electricity for practically everything in life we need in todays society look at all the nuclear power plants world wide especially the states and eastern canada no power for the cooling system alot of nuclear meltdowns so best be away from any of those power plants round that time.
I'm connecting the dots, but I think I connected them the wrong way. I am not even sure if I have them all. I think some of them are missing.

I think some I have connected are missing some in between. Not sure if I can disconnect them to put a few new ones in. I am afraid if I disconnect a couple it will cause an earthquake.

They actually built a secret city in Myanmar for that. The USA and Russia moved forward together to create a P3 partnership with Myanmar.
