US Military Base in Tokyo in Focus | Tokyo
Information | History | View | Sightseeing | Video
There has been a continuing controversy surrounding a 31,670 m2 US Army base located in central Tokyo amidst residential towers and office buildings. The base includes a helipad, offices for a US military newspaper, a PX, hotel for US-authorized personnel, and US military intelligence agency offices. The helipad serves as a base for US army personnel from neighboring headquarters in Yokota, Atsugi and Yokosuka, as well as the US embassy nearby. Residents of this affluent ward of Tokyo are intensifying their campaign to have the land returned to the city, even as the Tokyo city government has conceded to allow the base to remain. On this week's INFocus we will interview a lead activist with the Action Committee to Get Rid of Azabu Heliport, and will also include interviews with affected residents, the local ward mayor, and security analysts.

I am half japanese.Thank you for defending my mom's country.

i see no VALID issues here

Nonsense. Go read a physics textbook.
-
I never heard anything about the explosion being nuclear. It was something to do with underwater acoustic tesla experiments, something like haarp, but underwater. I don't know about the report's veracity but radar personnel picked up anomalies in the area prior to the event.
-
Japan is not interested in imperialism. Present-day imperialism country-China is troublesome. Many Chinese spies are in Okinawa. This is a bigger problem than the U.S. Armed Forces in Japan.
-
You guys obviously don't have any idea just how many thousands of multi-megaton nuclear bombs would have to be simultaneously detonated on the ocean floor to produce a 9.0 earthquake.
-
I wouldn't call Japan's self defense force imperialistic though. It's as big as the US allows it to be.
-
No he's not insane, you can cause tsunami's with nuclear weapons, either with an air burst or underwater, nuclear weapons have the energy of tsunami. Japan does support Palestine, which is an error they should correct, if the Pentagon did use a nuclear weapon to destroy Fukushima, then this should suffice as a message, of course, the Chinese could have done it, if that's what happened, weather weapons are not recognized by the UN as existing, though they do, it's a grey area for War.
-
If Japan wants to support Palestine, things happen.
-
The same Japan that was going to Nuclear Strike America with Kamikaze's if they had completed their bomb, so they're not innocent, they attacked America first, that was a War of Aggression, they were allies of Hitler and Mussolini, and early in the war Stalin. Japan started a war with a country that had completed it's bomb, their mistake.
-
This is sad, these idiots, that think being under the Eagle's wing is a bad thing, considering you were going to nuke Washington, they could have destroyed your culture completely, America could have made a deal with Communist China, and China would have ripped your island apart in revenge for your War Crimes against them, but no America loves Japan, so we dominated you, but lovingly maintained your culture so that it would not die, Japan was mercifully spared, and your new role is the safe one.
-
Japan is not a US colony? Ask the Pentagon who protects Japan from Russia and China? And you're not our colony? Then why do we spend money protecting you?
-
So Communists want us to give up our bases in Japan, the same Japan that had a secret nuclear weapon program and intended to use their nuclear warhead on America? No. We will never leave, simply because your Emperors were going to nuke us, and since their family line still controls Japan, we're not going anywhere while you remain a potential threat. Research Japanese nuclear weapon program WW II, if they had completed their bomb first the world would be ruled by Japan right now. Same for Germany
-
Gordy, STFU, no one punished Stalin, and Japan was building a nuclear weapon to use on the US, their Kamikaze's would have done it. If Obama alienates Japan in favor of China like Clinton did, then I'd worry more about Japan going nuclear, and siding with Israel seeing the US as an enemy of its own allies due to a rogue president, bent on handing the Muslims the ME, and China, Asia.
-
BAHAHA come on now... If china goes to war with anyone it would first jump on Japan.. And then Japan would want our bases.. The only reason china hasnt took over Japan is because of the US military.. Dont be ignorant.
-
So if China and US engage into a military dispute China will have a reason to bomb Tokyo a city full of civilians and then the US will use that as propaganda
-
They still cannot contain the radiation leaking from 3 complete melt-downs, which continue today. 10 times worse than Chernobyl. Lies and cover stories. I've been following closely since it happened. We're all being radiated at this point but the government turned off their monitoring stations! There's no way you'd believe what I learned about the TEPCO fiasco. Oh yes, it is insane what is hidden from public knowledge. You truly have to research it yourself. Yes, Japan must go along with NWO.
-
If this was on American soil,, we would have the same concerns... my concern now with the US of NOT the Americans... is that my country is not speaking for me.
-
You're insane, btw. Seek professional help.
-
lol The US military bases in Japan were put there to prevent Japan from rebuilding another imperial military.
