Kyunghyang Shimun Reporter Claims that US Radar Site In Japan Causing Sickness In Residents
|Over at Reddit they have a translation to this Kyunghyang Shimun article that claims that the THAAD radar is making people sick and even crazy in Japan:
A reporter from the paper went to Kyoto Japan where a Thaad radar facility is located. There, he found that Japanese residents were suffering from serious health problems including lack of breast milk from mothers, severe headaches, insomnia, and other side effects. The most severe side effect was the constant droning sound of power being fed into the facility which is driving the people living near it, crazy. The paper interviewed one Japanese resident who said even standing near the Thaad facility for 30 minutes makes him throw up. The concern in the Japanese village is that there is no study done on the effects of constant electronic magnetic signals. The paper also says that a few residents welcome the Thaad station because they profit from the central government rewarding the town with subsidies for hosting Thaad. But the reporter says the more reasonable Japanese residents who don’t care about money, are warning the Seongju residents to not ignore the harmful effects of the radar system which can’t been seen with human eyes.

First of all the radar in Japan is not a THAAD battery, it is a forward based AN/TPY-2 radar site in Kyoga-Misaki that uses the same radar antenna as a THAAD battery. Secondly this is just another example of how the leftists in the Korean media are going to distort and lie to push their political agenda just like what happened in 2008 with the phony US beef crisis.
Why doesn’t this reporter request to interview the soldiers that are around this radar every single day and see if they are getting sick and going crazy?
Someone has posted a followup today on reddit, confirming that it’s the same leftist troublemakers that show up every time that are also behind the anti Thaad protests.

@Tyson, thanks for sharing the link. I am not surprised by this news at all. The Korean leftists would love nothing more than to turn this into the Camp Humphreys like violent protests before next year’s Korean presidential election.
