The following is from Masayuki Takayama's book published on 2/28/2015 titled "America and China Lie Like Great Men."
This paper also proves that he is the one and only journalist in the postwar world.
Emphasis in the text, except for the headline, is mine.
One Spark and 99 Lawsuits" was Edison's true identity.
Edison created G.E.
G.E. is the company that Edison created, also known as the King of Invention.
Edison is said to be a good person, with "one inspiration and 99 efforts,'' but he was ill-natured, just like his country.
As soon as he invented something, he patented it and monopolized the profits by suing those doing similar work.
"One spark and 99 lawsuits" is what he was.
Edison patented a direct current power transmission when he lit a light bulb with a direct current.
Edison would have become rich if electricity spread, but George Westinghouse argued that A.C. power transmission was more efficient.
He founded Westinghouse (W.H.), a business rival of G.E. that continues to this day.
Edison quickly conspired to eliminate the W.H. method.
Edison complained that alternating current electricity would cause instant death and appealed to America's brutal national character by calling for an electric chair.
The idea was quickly adopted, and William Kemmler, who killed his wife with a hatchet, became the first to be executed with an electric chair, but it was more gruesome than Edison had hoped.
G.E. and W.H. also went head-to-head in nuclear power.
W.H. made a pressurized water type that took secondary cooling water heating out of the primary cooling water around the reactor core and turned a turbine.
In contrast, G.E.'s turbines were of the boiling water type, in which the primary cooling water is sent directly to the turbine.
The structure is simple, but simplicity does not always equate to safety.
In fact, most nuclear submarines in the U.S. Navy use W.H.'s pressurized water type.
At that time, the 20-year-long Democratic administration in the U.S. had collapsed, and Eisenhower, a Republican, assumed the presidency.
He was called "the president who did nothing" or "played golf twice every week.
This kind of slander has been a favorite of the Democrat-friendly U.S. media.
But the fact is the opposite.
It was he who converted the Democrats' use of nuclear weapons, which had been used as weapons of massacre, to the peaceful use of atomic energy, and it was he who created the freeways that connect the entire United States.
He also ended the Democratic Party's policy of Japan's decline and had the World Bank lend money for its reconstruction.
With this, Japan could run the Shinkansen, open the Tomei Expressway, and even host the Tokyo Olympics.
He had opposed Democratic Party leader Truman's atomic bombing of Hiroshima, saying it was "unacceptable from both a strategic and humanitarian standpoint.
However, two atomic bombs were dropped.
He thought of starting his idea of the peaceful use of nuclear weapons in Japan.
Japan, which was short of resources and energy, welcomed that.
But the Democrats were opposed to a Japanese revival, so Congressman Sidney Eitz suggested, "Then it would be fun to have a nuclear reactor built at the hypocenter in Hiroshima."
Eisenhower promptly rejected the bill.
Japan installed 20 nuclear reactors at this time.
However, most were the unpopular G.E. boiling water reactors, not the safe W.H. pressurized water reactors loaded on U.S. nuclear submarines.
The first reactor was installed at TEPCO's Fukushima plant.
G.E. products accounted for the majority because of G.E.'s political power, just like in the case of the electric chair, and the Japanese side had no choice.
Ike's goodwill was a little clouded by this one point.
When G.E. came to Fukushima, they were as arrogant as Edison, not showing the Japanese the core design drawings, keeping the materials secret, and not allowing a single screw to be changed.
When the reactor was put into operation, the fuel rod cladding broke, the piping suffered brittle fractures, and the reactor had to be shut down several times due to accidents involving workers exposed to radiation.
It is where the struggle between TEPCO, Toshiba, and other manufacturers began, and G.E.'s sloppy reactors were improved to the point where they looked almost like something else.
It was the Japanese-made boiling water reactor installed at TEPCO's Kashiwazaki plant.
While in operation, it was hit by the Chuetsu-oki earthquake, but the reactor was unharmed, and there was no malfunction in its automatic shutdown.
Eisenhower's peaceful use of nuclear energy was steadily taking root in Japan despite the stumbling block of G.E.
With this in mind, the President planned a visit to Japan. Still, it was not realized because the Asahi Shimbun incited nuclear allergy, the Revolutionary Communist League National Committee, and the Revolutionary Marxist Faction to make a fuss.
Half a century later, against the wishes of the U.S. Democratic Party, Japan had almost achieved energy independence, but then the March 11 tsunami hit Fukushima.
The U.S. knows that G.E. products are defective.
G.E. did not even have vents to relieve pressure in the containment vessels of nuclear reactors.
The Japanese modified it and added it.
Japan's technology and foresight prevented a catastrophe from becoming a major disaster, and the U.S., feeling responsible, launched Operation Tomodachi.
But Japan's misfortune was not limited to the idiot Kan.
Using this as a springboard, the "forces that hate Japan" came back to life again and fomented an allergy to nuclear weapons.
Newspapers and T.V. stations called for "Let's gather in front of the Diet and shout for a nuclear power phase-out," as if it were a good thing.
Participants included activists from the Revolutionary Communist League National Committee and the Revolutionary Marxist Faction" (Sankei Shimbun).
The Asahi Shimbun led the charge.
The lineup was the same as those who blocked Ike's visit to Japan.
In the U.S., too, a Japan-hating U.S. Democratic administration has returned.
Now that Japan has confirmed that it will not sue over the defective GE, Obama has turned his back on the issue.
Yet the U.S. has now decided to build a new Toshiba pressurized water reactor, the safest in the world.
It has been 34 years since Three Mile Island.
The U.S. toppled Saddam Hussein and plunged Iraq into chaos.
It is a hundred years too early for Iraq to call the Middle East shots.
We hear the U.S. message that the oil-producing countries should just shut up and let the oil out.
Obama's America is no different.
Don't think of energy independence as a big deal.
All Japan needs to do is to shrink back and keep its wits about it.
