Report: Japan Considering Moving Capital From Tokyo

Silverdoctors reported earlier that Morgan Stanley has decided to flee Tokyo, and we now have reports that the Japanese gov't is not far behind.  Sofia news agency is reporting that Japan is considering moving its capital from Tokyo to Osaka or Nagoya.  In typical style, the bankers and bureaucrats are abandoning the sinking ship, while leaving pregnant women and babies to fend for themselves in a nuclear disaster zone.  Lying about the Nikkei or the DOW is one thing...lying about the radiation danger affecting 32 Million + living in the greater Tokyo area while evacuating your own butt to safety is another thing altogether.

From Sofia News Agency:

As powerful earthquakes continue to jolt Japan and radiation levels near Tokyo are rising, the Asian country's authorities are considering moving the capital to another city.
The most probable location for a new capital are Osaka and Nagoya, according to ITAR-TASS. Both cities are located near international airports.


The main conditions the new capital has to provide are a population over 50 000 and a sufficient capacity to accommodate the parliament, the government, the Emperor's residency and the foreign diplomatic missions.
According to experts, should a 7.2 magnitude earthquake shake Tokyo, the casualties will be around 11 000, some 210 000 will be injured and the material damage will be worth about USD 1 B
