Hubzilla's cloud and wiki are helping me out a lot. The Japanese government bought a lot of Agent Orange from the USA during the Vietnam war. When the forestry department discovered how dangerously toxic the chemical was, they just buried it in national forests throughout Japan. There are 8 burials in Miyazaki alone, 86 kilograms within the city limits of where I live. Why didn't they give it back to the US military: It could have went off to be burned on a Dutch ship off in the Pacific somewhere... I like to think the burned it in a way to avoid more POPs but all that stuff might be working its way around the food chain destroying life, our lives. The irresponsibility in the Pacific!

Coming War on China has about thirty minutes devoted to the Marshall Islands and Operation Bravo(?). Those psychopaths tested nuclear bombs there then had people go back onto a polluted island for research: guinea pigs. We are all guinea pigs with POPs, radiation, GMO foodstuffs... It's extremely irritating to say the least.
There are photos among the pdf reports. 100s of kilos of Agent Orange are encased in cement and buried in the forest. The Pollutants have been there for decades, There are big trees growing on the burial sites: Tree roots tend to work their way into and break up cement. The irresponsibility. It must be the education system: the training for bureaucrat to understand and follow the manual without thinking about what they are really doing. It's the only way to explain nuclear weapons, nuclear plants, plastics, war.... other stupidities I can't think of right now because I have to go outside.
