"threatened to reveal confidential company information"
Like who's getting girls sent up to their rooms, who's getting boys sent up to their rooms...
radiation maps (and the raw data) from NISA was published regularly.
And radiation maps made by independent organizations showed contamination much worse than the official publications.
I'm not going to research this for you, but plenty of people were saying that the evidence showed meltdown and uncontrolled fission right from the start, and the officials denied it until the end of may.
I keep hearing of complaints about TEPCO misinformation etc. Reading the IAEA and NISA reports has seemed fine to me, where is all this disinformation coming from?

They denied the meltdown for months. They denied the leaks of radioactive material, they denied there was a risk from tsunamis, they just lied about everything for as long as they could.
what speed people would do if they were left to their own judgement
I don't know anywhere that people are left to their own judgment.
The German autobahns are famous for being some of the few public roads in the world without blanket speed limits for cars and motorcycles.
No, don't give me the fucking wall street journal's opinion on the matter.
If you say that Amnesty International has a beef with Wikileaks, give me a link to an Amnesty website, not to a pro-war propaganda outfit.
I don't want your spin, I want facts.
Amnesty International blasted Assange for repeated leaks where he didn't redact civilian volunteer names, leading to civilian volunteers coming under death threats.
THAT NEVER HAPPENED
WikiLeaks won Amnesty International 2009 Media Award. That's what the organization thinks of the other organization. What did happen, and you're misremembering it the way t was designed to be misremembered, is that one individual that worked for AI made a comment blasting Assange. That individual did not represent the organization. And the death threats were the same hypothetical threats that were U.S. official FUD all along, nothing real.
Google Plus is exceeding expectations of both its creators and its user base
That's some potent marketspeak you're astroturfing there.
At least Google doesn't make make your private info public, like FB loves to do.
That would be a Buzz kill.
Atlantis never existed. It was a rhetorical device.
So was Troy, until someone dug it out.
Should have re-read that earlier: "You can give cash money to individuals to write personal checks to political parties who then pay a you", those two "you" should be different individuals. The briber and then the bribed.
No, you can't. - If the press gets wind of it
You can give cash money to individuals to write personal checks to political parties who then pay a you a salary aside from your government salary...
All of those things I know about because people were caught doing them, as reported in the press.
justice is expensive
That's much more accurate than "blind"!
The text after the link (There are ways to...) is my own and should be Plain Old Text.
While there are certainly lobbyists here in Canada, their power is considerably less than their American counterparts. The lobby laws are stricter, and the very strict campaign finance laws in Canada mean the lobbyists are unable to wield the same degree of influence as they do in the USA as they have very little cash to throw around.
The Conference Board of Canada bills itself as "the foremost, independent, not-for-profit applied research organization in Canada. Objective and non-partisan. We do not lobby for specific interests." These claims should take a major hit based on [may 2009]'s release of a deceptive, plagiarized report on the digital economy that copied text from the International Intellectual Property Alliance (the primary movie, music, and software lobby in the U.S.)
There are ways to pay off corrupt politicians that aren't campaign contributions. You can promise them a high-paying job after they leave public office, you can pay for their vacation expenses, you can let them borrow your luxury car, you can spend the evening with them in a fancy restaurant, eating delicious meals and drinking expensive wines, and you pay their bill, etc.
This bill is written to please a specific lobby, they have shown in the past that they break rules and laws in complicity with those lobbies, it's a logical deduction that this law was written under the moneyed influence of that same lobby/cartel/oligarchy.
