Two to three hundred bodies have been found in a north-eastern coastal area of Japan after a massive earthquake triggered a tsunami.
The bodies were found in Sendai city, the closest major city to the epicentre, say police.
The magnitude 8.9 quake and 23-foot (seven-metre) tsunami were followed by more than 50 aftershocks for hours, many of them of more than magnitude 6.0.
Dozens of cities and villages along a 1,300-mile stretch of coastline were shaken by violent tremors that reached as far away as Tokyo, hundreds of miles from the epicentre.
Earlier, police confirmed at least 60 people had been killed and 56 were missing.
The death toll was likely to continue climbing given the scale of the disaster.

Major tsunami damage in N Japan after 8.9 quake
By MALCOLM FOSTER
Japan was struck by a magnitude 8.9 earthquake off its northeastern coast Friday, unleashing a 13-foot (4-meter) tsunami that washed away cars and tore away buildings along the coast near the epicenter. There were reports of injuries in Tokyo.
In various locations along Japan's coast, TV footage showed massive damage from the tsunami, with dozens of cars, boats and even buildings being carried along by waters. A large ship swept away by the tsunami rammed directly into a breakwater in Kesennuma city in Miyagi prefecture, according to footage on public broadcaster NHK.
Officials were trying to assess damage, injuries and deaths from the quake but had no immediate details.
The quake that struck at 2:46 p.m. was followed by a series of powerful aftershocks, including a 7.4-magnitude one about 30 minutes later. The U.S. Geological Survey upgraded the strength of the first quake to a magnitude 8.9, while Japan's meteorological agency measured it at 7.9.
The meteorological agency issued a tsunami warning for the entire Pacific coast of Japan. NHK was warning those near the coast to get to safer ground.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii said a tsunami warning was in effect for Japan, Russia, Marcus Island and the Northern Marianas. A tsunami watch has been issued for Guam, Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia and the U.S. state of Hawaii.
The quake struck at a depth of six miles (10 kilometers), about 80 miles (125 kilometers) off the eastern coast, the agency said. The area is 240 miles (380 kilometers) northeast of Tokyo.
In downtown Tokyo, large buildings shook violently and workers poured into the street for safety. TV footage showed a large building on fire and bellowing smoke in the Odaiba district of Tokyo.
In central Tokyo, trains were stopped and passengers walked along the tracks to platforms.
The ceiling in Kudan Kaikan, a large hall in Tokyo, collapsed, injuring an unknown number of people, NHK said.
Footage on NHK from their Sendai office showed employees stumbling around and books and papers crashing from desks. It also showed a glass shelter at a bus stop in Tokyo completely smashed by the quake and a weeping woman nearby being comforted by another woman.
Several quakes had hit the same region in recent days, including a 7.3 magnitude one on Wednesday.
Thirty minutes after the quake, tall buildings were still swaying in Tokyo and mobile phone networks were not working. Japan's Coast Guard has set up task force and officials are standing by for emergency contingencies, Coast Guard official Yosuke Oi said.
"I'm afraid we'll soon find out about damages, since the quake was so strong," he said

Israel wants to navigate post-Mubarak Egypt according to Zionist compass
It is amply clear that Israel is extremely worried about the direction that Arab revolutions might take with regard to the apartheid entity, especially its ethnic-cleansing designs vis-à-vis the Palestinian people.
During the recent Egyptian revolution which deposed the tyrant Hosni Mubarak, Israel and its Zionist and Masonic tentacles in Europe and North America pressured government circles to do whatever could be done to shield and preserve the decadent Mubarak regime, but of course to no avail.
Behind the curtain, Israeli and Zionist circles enlisted US Congress and the White House to press and pressure the Egyptian armed forces to violently suppress and even repress the massive protests all over Egypt, demanding liberty and deliverance from the claws of the Zionist puppet regime.
Indeed, Israeli officials, who never stop babbling about democracy and its sublime values, would have been more than happy watching the Egyptian regime’s security forces, baltajiya or hired thugs behave very much like the mercenaries and thugs of the Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi have been behaving in recent days, namely massacring peaceful demonstrators demanding liberty.
None the less, it was sufficiently clear from the beginning that the power of the Egyptian people would eventually prevail, and that even the army, with its complicated calculations, wouldn’t be able to do certain things, as demanded or wished by Washington and its real Zionist master, 8000 kilometers eastward.
Eventually, the Zionist thugs in Tel Aviv had to resign to the fact that Mubarak and his regime would be trashed to the dustbin of history and that Israel’s man or men in Cairo were no longer in charge.
Yes, the army is still in charge for the time being, which probably gives Zionist supremacists a certain though temporary solace. However, it is clear that a new dawn has broken in Cairo and that this dawn is definitely not to Israel’s liking. In fact, the would-be new rulers of Egypt hate Israel and Zionism and view the Zio-Nazi entity as a real and nefarious enemy, pure and simple.
But this doesn’t mean that the Zionists and their allies are giving up. The shipyard dogs from Washington to Tel Aviv are warning about the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and the need to exclude these moderate Islamists from any post-Mubarak government.
This demand actually goes beyond the pale, coming from a regime that includes under its general umbrella manifestly-fascist parties that ascribe racist and infra-human status to people who don’t adhere to the Jewish faith.
Hence, one really feels affronted by a government that not only accords full democratic rights to people like Ovadia Yosef but allows them to become powerful kings makers at the Israeli political arena.
For those who don’t know Yosef, he is the religious mentor of the Shas fundamentalist party who has hundreds of thousands of loyalists and followers at his beck and call. Shas is also a key coalition partner in the Israeli government.
A few months ago, Yosef was quoted as saying that all non-Jews in the world were effectively donkeys whom the Almighty created solely to serve the master race, the chosen people!!
Or consider other political parties represented in the Israeli government and Knesset. Such as the National Union, the Bayt Hayahudi, or the numerous other Judeo-Nazi or quasi-Nazi political groups that are permanent features in the Israeli political establishment which really adopt brashly racist platforms that even Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin didn’t think of.
According to recent public opinion polls in Israel, more than 50% of Israelis thought that non-Jews shouldn’t enjoy equal rights for the sole reason of being goyem, or Gentile.
A few months ago, the Israeli government passed a draft resolution obliging all non-Jewish citizens to pledge loyalty to the apartheid state as a Jewish state.
Israeli propagandists and apologists often use the media trick of claiming that Israel is both a Jewish and democratic state. But this is tasteless joke since Israel can’t be Talmudic and democratic at the same time if only because Talmudic laws and democratic laws represent the antithesis of each other. They are a kind of inherent oxymoron.
In light, one would ask what moral right do these arrogant Zionist thugs have to demand that a certain segment of the Egyptian people be excluded from the democratic process? It is sheer insolence, arrogance and moral depravity.
There is no doubt that the Zionist regime will continue to meticulously watch developments in Egypt to make sure that true Egyptian patriots opposed to Israeli Nazism don’t occupy any position of influence in the next Egyptian government.
According to reliable sources, Israel is pressing Washington to make sure that the security ties between the apartheid state and Egypt remain outside the responsibility of any elected government.
Israel has also asked Washington to pressure all candidates for President or Prime Minister to affirm their commitment to the so-called Peace Treaty which former Egyptian President Anwar Sadat signed with former Zionist Prime Minister Menachem Begin in 1978.
Israel is also pressing Washington to “neutralize” certain Egyptian generals who have voiced reservation to American demands to this effect.
Dennis Ross, a fanatical veteran American Jewish supporter of Israel, met recently with several American Jewish activists, telling them that the Obama administration was throwing all its weight to ensure that the next Egyptian government would refrain from adopting policies or stands that could be seen as detrimental to Israeli interests.
Israel will also ask Washington to make sure that the Arab revolutions wouldn’t cause a drastic imbalance between the forces of moderation (forces that would accommodate and coexist with Zio-Nazism) and the forces of resistance.
As to the Palestinian cause, Israel is actually bullying Washington to warn Cairo against displaying any positive gesture toward Hamas or Hizbullah. Israel actually would very much favor see the new Egyptian regime continue the same policies of the previous Mubarak regime, namely perfecting and tightening the Nazi-like blockade of the Gaza Strip and blackmailing and even coercing the PLO leadership in the West Bank to effectively surrender to the Israeli fait accompli.
There is no doubt that one of the important reasons behind the downfall of Egyptian regime was its perceived subservience to Zionist circles and the undeclared but active alliance between Mubarak and the Zio-Nazi regime against the tormented Palestinians, especially in the Gaza Strip where the defunct regime effectively sided with Israel against a fellow Arab people.
That was more than just scandalous and disgraceful. It was also treasonous and criminal: treasonous because the leader or leaders of the largest and most powerful Arab state must under no circumstances be answerable to Zionist thugs in occupied Palestine who are relentlessly effecting their ethnic-cleansing designs against the Palestinian people. And criminal because tormenting, starving and killing innocent people in order to please and appease Israel and the Jewish-occupied Congress of the United States goes far beyond normal political calculations.
Hence, the new revolutionary government in Egypt must make a full and absolute departure from the old policies of Mubarak, policies that led to the death and maiming of thousands of innocent fellow-Arabs and Muslims and to the devouring by Israel of additional swathes of Palestinian land for the benefit of Nazi-like Jewish colonists who think that the whole world was exclusively created by the Almighty for them.
In any case, there can be no true democracy in Egypt without allowing the Egyptian people to express and embody their true stance vis-à-vis Israel, the very state whose strategy is still based on weakening Egypt politically, economically and militarily.

Israeli Espionage in America – A National Security Scandal
By Jim W. Dean
The biggest national security scandal story of our times is the extent that Israeli espionage has gone on here for decades. There is an aspect of the War on Terror on which our elite leadership refuses to level with the public. Just how terrified our defense, political, counter intelligence and legal institutions are when it comes to rooting them out and shutting it all down. All other terrors pale into insignificance. They treat this affliction with an age old cure…denial.
My first exposure to Israeli espionage scholastically was through Steven Green’s book ‘Taking Sides: America’s Secret Relations With A Militant Israel’(1984). Green was one of the earliest users of the then new Freedom of information Act, filing hundreds of requests to get previously classified military and diplomatic Intel reports.
The book is a gold mine, so much so that some in the Reagan administration considered a rump prosecution of Green to scare others off from doing similar work. Cooler heads prevailed and they ended up reclassifying some of the best parts of the book despite Green’s archives being publicly available at the Hoover institute. There is a phrase to describe this… ‘contempt for the public’.
Green found some of the Zionist early espionage involved extensive weapons hijacking and theft operations to support their 1948 war, giving them complete military superiority in the number and quality of weapons, and training. Post war Czechoslovakia provided the base for this training. The Zios showed their appreciation by delivering prototype jeep mounted radar system, stolen right from under our noses by their many helpers.
What they could not get through aid or purchase, they simply stole. Weapons grade uranium was obtained in England and here from a reprocessing plant Pennsylvania owned by an American Zionist, still alive today. The investigation of the material pilfered from Westinghouse fuel rods had the FBI agent in charge instructed to make no written notes of any of his interviews, but to report verbally.

The Israeli WMD program started prior to the 1948 war, where out military intelligence reported Zionist agents combing war ravaged Europe looking for chemical and biological weapons, including Sarin nerve gas And this was followed soon after the ’48 war with the beginning of their nuclear program.
What they could not get through aid or purchase, they simply stole. Weapons grade uranium was obtained in England and here from a reprocessing plant Pennsylvania owned by an American Zionist, still alive today.
