Japan Holds Earthquake Drills

In Japan, 800,000 people participated in earthquake drills across the country, preparing for the next big disaster. In Kawasaki city outside Tokyo, more than 10,000 practiced evacuation and basic rescue work, as they carried mock injured people on wheelers and stretchers. Fire departments and Japanese military also took part in the drill, flying rescue helicopters and leading civilian participants throughout the drills. Children who boarded trucks experienced a whole range of tremors that were created using earthquake simulators. Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso also had a part to play. He arrived on the scene in a helicopter to help the rescuers and later recorded a test message urging people to remain calm. The prime minister and the government's emergency team also held a video conference gathering local information from headquarters across Japan. [Taro Aso, Japanese Prime Minister]: "The government is ready to appropriately provide information when needed. Citizens should listen to information from the radio, television or from local governments, and remain calm while following instructions." These drills are held annually in Japan to commemorate the biggest earthquake in recent history that hit the nation's capital. The country has seen two major earthquakes. The 1923 Great Kanto earthquake left 143-thousand dead and most of the island's population homeless. In 1995 a quake outside of Kobe killed more than six thousand. It also toppled many buildings that were supposedly earthquake-proof.

Please notice us if you find your Jewish friends evacuate from the Tokyo metropolitan area. Please make a lot of fuss on net. Our aim is to stop them from practicing their conspiracy, to make them giving up their plan of attacking Tokyo with artificial earthquakes. We won’t let them destroy Japan anymore!

If you find Jewish trying to evacuate from Tokyo,it could mean another artificial earthquake on Tokyo!

I do not discuss the detail for a while, but we can’t miss the fact that thousands of Jewish people then working at World Trade Center twin buildings, for some reason, kept themselves from the twin tower on that day when the 9/11 terrorist attack occurred, and none of them were victimized from the tragedy.

The ancient earth,the humans modern lives i think that's what playing a big role in many today.

USA lost many lives on 9-11-01 and now Japan has lost more lives on 3-10-11.

Add the 2 dates together and you get 12-21-12.
