Coastguard following boat with media in Oura Bay, Henoko. Okinawa US military base protest
Henoko protester manhandled by Japanese Coast Guard
A member of the Coast Guard grabs a canoeist by the throat after pulling him aboard a Japan Coast Guard vessel in Henoko Bay, off Nago, northeast Okinawa. The assault on Sept. 9, 2014, left the demonstrator with injuries to his neck that required two weeks to heal. The canoeist was protesting survey work being carried out in the bay in preparation for a planned new U.S. Marine air base to replace the contentious Futenma base in Ginowan.

Henoko - No Base! Feb 26, 2014
I was accompanied on this road trip by my friend, Rob Avery, to visit Henoko. Henoko, in eastern Nago, is on the Philippine Sea and is the location of a very controversial planned U.S. Marine Corps air base. It is proposed to be a replacement facility for the decades-long controversial MCAS Futenma in Ginowan.
We begin with driving up the Expressway. Enjoy the ride and the conversation! DOZO!

Hideki Yoshikawa – Challenging the Militarization of Okinawa on the Environmental Front
Hideki Yoshikawa
Keynote speaker Professor Hideki Yoshikawa from Nago put Okinawa on our movement's agenda. He placed the now seventeen year struggle to prevent the construction of a new and massive Marine air base in Oura Bay in Henoko and the drive to win the withdrawal of U.S. bases from Okinawa in the context of the 70 years of Japanese and U.S. military colonization of the once independent kingdom. We were impressed by the courage of Okinawan nonviolent direct actions to prevent the construction of the Henoko base and by the ways Professor Yoshikawa and others are using the law, courts and international organizations to defend their community, the priceless environment of Oura Bay, and the feeding grounds of the near-extinct dugongs. We were inspired to learn how the people of Nago reelected their anti-bases mayor, defying enormous pressure from Tokyo and Washington and Tokyo's campaign to simply buy the election with ill-concealed and massive bribery.

► Governor rejects land ministry advice on US base plan
Okinawa Governor Takeshi Onaga says he will not comply with the land ministry's recommendation that he withdraw his revocation of a landfill permit over the US base relocation plan.
He told reporters on Friday that he sent a notice to the ministry stating his position. He said the approval for the reclamation plan had a defect that required revocation, and his decision is legitimate.
The ministry last month sent Onaga a notice advising him to correct his decision to revoke the permit on landfill work in the coastal area of the Henoko district in Nago City. It gave him a November 6th deadline.
The ministry is now planning on issuing an order demanding Onaga withdraw his revocation, but Onaga says he will not comply with that either.
The land ministry plans to file a lawsuit requesting substitute execution as a final step.
Onaga said the central government is increasingly taking action with an iron fist. He said he has sent a list of questions to the government pursuing accountability over its actions.
The landfill work is part of a project to transfer the Futenma Marine Corps airfield from a densely populated area in Ginowan City to the sparsely-populated Henoko district.

STORYLINE:
U-S troops throughout the world are on high alert and have imposed tight restrictions around American bases abroad whilst awaiting orders should they be called on to respond to the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on 11 September.
On Okinawa Island, the United States' most important military outpost in the Pacific, the heightened security was unmistakable.
Kadena Air Base, among the largest in the U-S Air Force, is located here.
A substantial increase in activity at the air base was apparent on Thursday, following the lifting of typhoon restrictions, with many more planes taking off and landing than usual, although the planes' missions remain unknown.
Okinawa is also home to the largest contingent of Marines outside the United States, with more than 15,000 troops deployed here.
Japan is home to about 48,000 U-S military personnel - nearly half America's presence in Asia - and the U-S facilities on its southern island of Okinawa are the forward bases for America's military in the region.
Japan almost certainly would provide logistical support for any U-S military operation launched in response to the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington.

Landfill work continues in Henoko/Okinawa
Japan's Defense Ministry is ramping up construction on a controversial US military facility in Okinawa. Work is now underway on a new part of the planned site.
Workers have been pouring sand and dirt into the sea to reclaim land off the coast of Nago City.
But there is strong local opposition to the plan. In a non-binding referendum last month, a majority of voters opposed the landfill work.

GREENPEACE - Giappone nega alla Rainbow Warrior di investigare habitat Dugonghi - www.HTO.tv
Le autorità giapponesi hanno rifiutato alla nave di Greenpeace Rainbow Warrior il permesso di unirsi alle proteste contro la costruzione di due nuove piste d’atterraggio della base militare statunitense nella baia di Henoko/Oura, un paradiso di biodiversità che ospita l’ultima popolazione di dugonghi del Giappone. La Rainbow Warrior è arrivata a Okinawa su invito di politici e attivisti locali per sostenere le proteste dei cittadini contro l’allargamento della base militare. A seguito del rifiuto delle autorità giapponesi la nave di Greenpeace resta ormeggiata a Naha, capoluogo dell’Isola di Okinawa. A bordo ci sono attivisti di numerose nazionalità, compresi due italiani. “Nel 2005 e nel 2007 le navi di Greenpeace hanno avuto il permesso di visitare la baia di Henoko/Oura, ma questa volta il governo centrale ha deciso di rallentare in modo deliberato le procedure per impedirci di unirci ai cittadini di Okinawa e testimoniare la loro lotta contro la distruzione della baia” ha dichiarato Mike Fincken, capitano della Rainbow Warrior. Greenpeace ha recentemente presentato i risultati di ricerche effettuate nei fondali della baia, che dimostrano come a soli tre chilometri di distanza dalla base siano evidenti tracce di pascolo dei dugonghi. Al tempo stesso, attorno l’area di esclusione della base, sui fondali sono stati rinvenuti blocchi di cemento che hanno schiacciato i coralli. Nella baia di Henoko/Oura vivono 5.600 specie marine, di cui 262 sono in pericolo. Oltre ai dugonghi, tra le specie a rischio ci sono tre specie di tartarughe marine, varie specie di pesci pagliaccio e la più grande prateria di fanerogame marine dell’isola di Okinawa. Queste piante, simili alla posidonia del Mediterraneo, sono l’alimento del dugongo e non a caso in Giappone sono chiamate “jangusa”, che vuol dire appunto “erba dei dugonghi”. “Ovviamente, le praterie nei dintorni della base statunitense sono un habitat critico per gli ultimi dugonghi. Tutto l’ecosistema della baia rischia di collassare a meno che il governo non fermi subito la costruzione delle piste per creare piuttosto una Riserva Marina per proteggere i tesori naturali di Okinawa” commenta Kazue Komatsubara, campaigner Oceani di Greenpeace Giappone. Le proteste a Okinawa contro la base statunitense durano da 19 anni. Quasi l’80 per cento della popolazione si oppone all’allargamento della base e il governatore di Okinawa (eletto con un programma di netta opposizione al progetto) ha tentato di bloccarlo con un apposito decreto. Tuttavia, lo scorso 27 ottobre il governo ha dichiarato nulla l’opposizione del governatore di Okinawa. Questa è stata la scintilla di proteste ancora in corso: centinaia di locali, tra cui molti anziani, hanno deciso di porsi tra le ruspe e il mare che vogliono difendere. Greenpeace ha avviato le procedure per la visita della baia lo scorso 28 ottobre ma ieri le autorità hanno rifiutato il permesso. Greenpeace intende appellarsi contro questa decisione e attende risposta alla richiesta di poter fare rotta su Nago, un’altra località dell’Isola di Okinawa.
