Yoichi Shimatsu
Author: Yoichi Shimatsu
Yoichi Shimatsu is a Japanese-American native of the West Coast of the United States, having grown up in Seattle and East Los Angeles. In the 1960’s he completed a graduate degree in Journalism from Berkeley.
On March 11, 2011, Yoichi was working and living in Northern Japan at the time of the earthquake and tsunami there, which resulted in the most severe environmental radiation release in World history, seemingly centered at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant.
In 2011 he was the only journalist to enter the 20-mile-across government-mandated Exclusion Zone around Fukushima. He went equipped with a video camera.
A 25-minute follow-up Youtube video, Tracking Fukushima’s Nuclear Weapons Sites, resulted in 2018, and is the anchor point of the retrospective offered here: a unique Travelogue in Northern Japan, where Yoichi is equipped with a hand-held Dosimeter (radiation meter). It is, arguably, the most significant video in World History: it unflinchingly examines the deeply disturbing question of whether the 3-11 event actually did represent an Extinction Level Event.

American Nuclear Deception: Why “the Port Chicago experiment” must be investigated
Paperback – August 29, 2022
by Daisy B Herndon (Author)
Format: Kindle Edition
Although some people think of the Port Chicago nuclear explosion theory as nonsense, the documented link between the Manhattan Project and the Port Chicago explosion is one of the best kept secrets of WWII.
When the U.S. dropped the bomb on Japan, it dropped the nuclear age on the whole world. We don’t know what we don’t know about the history of the bomb, but what we don’t know laid the foundation for the nuclear policies and practices that impact us all today.
On July 17, 1944, a massive explosion destroyed the pier at the Port Chicago Naval Ammunition Depot near San Francisco, California, killing 320 Americans and destroying two ships. A few months later, the mass court martial of 50 African American sailors upstaged the unprecedented blast.
In 1982, The Black Scholar published an article by Peter Vogel explaining why he thought it might have been a nuclear explosion. There has never been an official investigation of the plausible claim. In this video, I introduce my recent research and the surprising evidence that shows why the Port Chicago nuclear explosion theory (PCnet) is too important to ignore.
