Anthony Wile With Russia Today's Bill Dod: Japan Government Not in Control, IAEA Can do Nothing, People Right to Panic
Anthony Wile, chief editor of the Daily Bell, discusses the Japanese nuclear disaster and the inability for international agencies, or the Japanese government to fix the problem. As Wile stated at one point in the interview when asked by Bill Dod why the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) wasn't doing more to fix the problem, "The IAEA is a promoter of nuclear power, whose job is not necessarily to come to the rescue of failed attempts of maintaining quality design and protecting the public from natural disasters, such as we are dealing with here, although they sell that message."
Russia Today summarized the Interview as follows:
In December 2008, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) called on Japan to upgrade the standards for seismic safety of nuclear power stations, reports The Daily Telegraph newspaper, which sorted through the secret cables sent by the US embassy to Washington. Tokyo pledged to do so, but it is not clear what measures have been taken.
Anthony Wile believes that despite those warnings there was little Japan could do.
"I don't think that they had any choice. At that stage of the game, the commitments had already been made. What could they do?" he said. "I don't think they had any choice but to turn a blind eye and hope for the best. And perhaps that just didn't work out too well."
He pointed out that such rescue missions are hardly the agency's mission, although the IAEA is now sending that kind of message.
"The IAEA is a promoter of nuclear power ... You can clearly see that the IAEA has absolutely no ability to deal with this problem, any more than the Japanese government has the ability to deal with this problem."

Anthony Wile needs his own show on RT. It would definately compliment the excellent CrossTalk and Keiser Report shows!

IAEA is nothing else than an international lobbyist organization for the multinational companies who are involved in the nuclear business.

How about throwing some IAEA and GE scientist into the plant to resolve the problem of VERY SAFE nuclear plant?

Doesn't General Electric own NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, the Weather Channel, etc? Did they not build the nuke plants in Japan (the plants currently melting down). Do you think GE will let their news services tell the truth?

Thank you RT, for hard-hitting reality. Reason seems to still be alive in your news room.

Send in the 'experts' the clean up their mess since they were telling us how safe it was. I guess all the 'Green' money that's been invested in Nuclear Power, based on the lie of Global Warming and the resultant Carbon Tax theft, is now on a loser. Sorry Al Gore ... NOT!

i tend to think that there is a kind of "secret police" with energy usage. I looked to see if steam engines were available for purchace. I found one on the internet, A little while later, it was gone without a trace. What is my proof that what i say is true about this? The proof that it went away; went away. It is probably a kind of "gestabo like operation."

I wonder if Goldman Sachs has a big part in the outcome?

Anthony Wile of theDailyBell.com is very wise in his thinking.
