DESCRIPTION:8/6/24 On The Anniversary Of Hiroshima-Never Again!\nSTOP The Drive For 
 Nuclear Weapons In Japan & Asia-Action\nEnd Militarization Of Asia & Shut

 Nuke Plants In Japan\nFree the Unjustly Jailed Hiroshima Five 
 Immediately\n\nTuesday August 6, 2024 3PM\nJapanese Consulate\n275 Battery 
 St./California San Francisco\n\nThe Japanese government like the US 
 government is driving towards militarization of Asia and moving toward a 
 war with China. The US with the support of the Kishida LDP party is 
 flagrantly violating Article 9 of the Japanese constitution that outlawed 
 offensive military operations. \n\nThe government is also engaging in 
 military operations around the world with the US and other NATO countries. 
 This has nothing to do with protecting Japan but is part and parcel of the 
 global war drive by war profiteers and governments that are controlled by 
 the military industrial complex. They also are expanding nuclear weapons 
 and more NUKE plants around the world.\n\nThis militarization of Asia is a 
 major drive towards world war and the US already has a war in Ukraine and 
 is supporting the Israeli genocide in Gaza.\n\nThe war profiteering by the 
 military industrial complex and the trillions spent for war comes out of 
 the health and safety of the US people.\n\nThe Japanese government is also 
 stepping up repression in Japan against anti-nuclear and anti-war 
 activists. On February 28 the Japanese police organized a national raid 
 against the August 6 Hiroshima Grand Action Organizing Committee. Five 
 members of this committee were arrested and charged with violating the Act 
 on Punishment for Physical Violence and Others of 1926. \n\nThe fact is 
 that there was no violence except that the organizers protected their rally 
 from far right groups like Nippon Kaigi which is supports Constitutional 
 revision and nuclear rearmament.\n\nThe Japanese government, like the US 
 government, is using more and more overt repression against peaceful 
 student encampments for Palestine and attacks on unions such as UAW 4811 at 
 UC.\n\nThe continued restarting of nuclear power plants and the 
 militarization of Okinawa with the construction of more US military bases 
 further threatens the people of Japan and the world. The Japanese 
 government and TEPCO have still, after 12 years, been unable to remove the 
 melted nuclear rods at Fukushima and the people of Okinawa are opposed to 
 all US and Japanese bases on the Island which makes them a target in a new 
 war.\n\nAugust 6 is the 79th  anniversary of the criminal bombing of 
 Hiroshima by the United State that killed many thousands of people and 
 contaminated those who survived with radioactive poisoning that is still 
 harming survivors and their families today.\n\nOn August 6, we must 
 remember the human catastrophe caused by the use of these weapons by the 
 United States and also organize against another nuclear war that both the 
 Japanese and US are   driving toward.\n\nEndorsed  by\nNo Nukes
