Yes. Well. Indeed I am glad that this topic has generated some discussion. I too, feel that Yoichi's ability to condense and analyze this material, combine it with his own experience in the field of child abuse investigation, and write it out in a format that puts it all into perspective has been an invaluable asset, making connections no one else has dared. That is just simply called good journalism. However, not many, as Mr. Shimatsu has pointed out several times, can even navigate the screen of a mobile phone let alone sit down and write some real material.

I have followed Yoichi for several years now, having been profoundly affected by his revelations on Sandy Hook, I am actually quite surprised his work has not received more attention than it has.

But this is not all about high praise for Yoichi's work, however much I agree with almost everything he writes. I do understand, as a journalist, you are not going to get everything right one-hundred percent all of the time. This is not a critique of the crux of the body of Mr. Shimatsu's work, but I have had some friction as to the sincerity of his intentions only because of a few notable references in his employment history and a couple of possible factual errors:

There arose a disagreement about an area off of Koloa Landing, Poipu beach, where the alleged “hotdog stand”, a codeword for underage male prostitutes, was. I have a source that knows Poipu Pier very well that states that the only hotdog stand there is in a strip mall called a "PukaDog" (although it is understood podestas email could be totally metaphorical) He states that what Yoichi writes about the entire island is untrue, that homosexuality is highly frowned upon and that there is no area for any 'male prostitutes' to loiter. "Hawaiians are extremely attached to a machismo in their culture and that there is no thriving methamphetamine and rent boy situation anywhere near that pier, or for the entire island of Kauai for that matter". He further states that according to another source in the health industry of Hawaii that radiation has not changed cancer rates on the islands, that "the local rates of heart-failure and cancer, while high, have not changed since Fukushima."

He went on to cite a possible motive for questioning the validity of Yoichi's work:

Well Mr. Shimatsu, I do not intend to offend, I only seek clarity in an otherwise vast sea of disinformation. Personally, in my own opinion as a matter of support I can not see any agenda written into your material above and beyond a condensation and collation of the material that this VOAT/Pizzagate citizen investigation has uncovered thus far, but there are, ... other pressing matters we might be able to discuss... later. Let me just ask you, tip your hat if it is white. I am only trying to hold you to the same standards you yourself would ask of any other journalist when you write, "One of the hallmarks of a great crusading editor is ethical impartiality, the ability to be as critical of criminal behavior among one’s own side, meaning family, friends and political allies, as toward foes in an opposing faction or interest group. Partisan coverage is, in essence, propaganda, a hit job prompted by biased self-interest, usually in the service of the powers that be."

Please Mr. Shimatsu, reassure your reading public that you are not a mere propagandist for the powers that be.
