So the biggest question left is how  to help, and  my answer would be to do thing that Japan wont do, and that would be spreading awareness. Recently I have just joined a group called anonymous. anonymous is an online group with the purpose of sharing and discussing the news pieces that governments is failing to tell you, including Fukishima. Joining this group now lets me share my views on Fukishima so I can spread nearness to people who did not know before
  Anonymous
So I think that it is safe to say that the Japanese handling of Fukishima has been quite awful. They will lie to their people and strike down anyone who opposes them and unfortunately not too many people are informed about this because it is censored, so awareness about this topic is small.Just trying to find information for the blog was impossible. I had to spend hours trying to find news stories. Nobody should live in a society where their government does not tell them the truth and that is why I care so much about this topic. I am proud to live in a country where I cant obtain the truth and not be lied to, and I truly believe that everybody should obtain that right.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's government is planning a state secrets act that critics say could reduce public access to information on a wide range of issues, including the Fukushima nuclear crisis.Independent  journalists who oppose the government could be convicted under it and face 10 years in jail. Basically, this bill raises the possibility that the kind of information about which the public should be informed is kept secret eternally. Journalists ability to try and uncover the truths about Fuksihima is now severely crippled because finding the truth about Fukishima is definitely not worth 10 years in prison.
Toru Nakakita, a Professor of economics and a Japanese Radio host had just recently quit his radio job. Nakakita planned to talk about the rising operating costs of nuclear power worldwide, Nakakita planned to say in his original script that “damages to be paid in the wake of a nuclear plant accident are extraordinarily high.” Japanese government knew that if this information leaked out to the public their will be an uproar of people agreeing with Nakaekita and questioning the government. But the show's program director intervened with Nakakita and told him that information will be offensive to the government and since Japan was in a election year the program director felt like this information would change the voting behavior. So Nakakita's speech was censored. Nakakita felt that programs excuse was a lie so he quit the show. I applaud Nakaikta for not let anyone try and tell him what to do
The Japanese Government has also shown a tendency to silence independent journalist who are not robots for the Japanese main stream media
