GE Nuclear Plant Inspector/Whistleblower Kei Sugaoko Speaks About Fukushima, GE & Obama

General Electric nuclear plant inspector Kei Sugaoka was one of the inspectors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant in 2000. He noticed a crack in the steam dryer which he videotaped. He was later ordered by Tokyo Electric Power Company TEPCO to edit this part of the tape which is illegal in the United States. He went public and some TEPCO managers were fired. He thought that things would change but they have not. Additionally, as a result of being a whistleblower he was also laid off by General Electric and has been struggling to get the truth out about these dangerous plants. Sugaoka has inspected plants throughout the world including in Taiwan and Europe.
This interview was done on May 5, 2011.

We need many ,many more like him. And a lot less ass kissers and lickers. Saving the lives of millions, if the Corporate incompetent thugs would listen. To those that know the corruption going on yet cover it up,should be in prisons. This guy knows his job. G.E. and the rest do not care a stitch about human life. Just profit over people.

let's hear the whole story in a book...

seems like a good guy, keep fighting these bastards

[CrudeDude]

I agree. The guy sounds real. I'd really like to have a few beers with this guy.

Do you think every interview is life is sans editing? Why do you think it was edited? Do the words not make sense? Are you mr. conspiratorial? If you want more answers then that, get off your ass and find them.

I never said that Kei Sugaoko points were not valid, he is 100% correct. The negativity was directed at the shoddy interview editing. What did they edit out? I see from your likes history of video's from my close friends (Kevin Blanch, Msmilkytheclown etc...) that you may just have misunderstood my point above. I hope that is the case.

[indegruv]

whatever your little brain needs to stay in denial, huh?

[onegist]

Nuclear companies do the same in Finland, they give money to local communities to quiet people down and be happy. Now they try to build nuclear waste repository in Olkiluoto, named Onkalo... Researcher (politics) Matti Kojo and professor (geology) Matti Saarnisto know a lot about this, it's very interesting stuff.

[Shazzamm1971]

The editing job is at best annoying, at worse it is suspicious. Would love to see the interview without the editing. But Kei is a great person. You think that the questions would have been more focused.
