Tokyo's Governor Drops A Nuclear Bomb

Nowadays it seems that "WTF Japan News" is becoming even stranger than the usual "WTF Japan" entertainment media. Remember back in March when Tokyo's governor Shintaro "Blinky" Ishihara said that the devastating 3-11 earthquake and tsunami were divine punishment for the selfish greed of Japanese people? Well, believe it or not, "Blinky" just dropped another bomb by stating that Japan needs nuclear weapons!

“Japan Must Become a Nuclear Armed Military State” - Governor Shintaro Ishihara via Sankaku Complex



Perhaps he should go to Hiroshima or Nagasaki and try to sell that same pitch! Or maybe he should just watch the below video which features footage from a 1984 NHK documentary about nuclear war:

Japan Prediction: Nuclear Holocaust, Tokyo Evacuated

March 19, 2011: Via NEWiS - Exclusive!!! Who predicted disaster in Japan

In the early 2000s, Russian blogger/engineer Artem Dragunov had a motorcycle accident and was in a coma for 2 days. After that he started having dreams about the future, writing them on his blog, and many of them have come true! On February 21, 2011 he predicted the recent earthquake in Japan.

And his future prediction for Japan is very dire:



And on March 11th, the day of the quake, he wrote the below comment on his blog Guest from the Future Dream 20022011:

"Let's count. Dreamed a dream the night of Feb. 21. Today 11. Three weeks shorter.
Just at that time dreamed of a lot of water and a couple of big fucking. 11 plus 21 - the beginning of May. HERE Remember - early May .."

Hopefully, this time he'll be wrong.
