NVM, articles are from past events.
Slow comprehension today...

None of those were aimed at areas that store munitions or other chemicals that explode. All it takes is one lucky shot.

Really? Anaddah?

My conspiracy mind grows stronger, something nefarious is afoot


I'll just paste my post from yesterday's explosion.........



Been on this site daily since at least 2011. There is either an effort to report these various large explosions more often than usual, or there is an odd frequency of large explosions occurring. Seems the case to me anyhow.

Since Tianjin it seems there's been a new one reported nearly every day.

My conspiracy side tells me these are systematic and intentional, to what end? I have no idea.

Yep edited my post. I failed to see the dates of those articles and comprehend that you were referring to past events.
I got caught-up in the moment of "Hey wait a minute, those articles didn't say anything about the munitions going off".

Lets also not forget that this month Japan remembered the dead from Hiroshima and Nagasaki.



Maybe we should just leave the region and let China "remember" the whole Japanese occupation and the rape of Nanking?

Yah, if its a 'US military base' in Japan (those don't exist by the way), then that is sympathetic detonation of stored munitions.



There are bases in Japan, Americans are obliged to be there under post WW2 treaties, about 50,000 in all.
Yokota is one.

There are explosions all around the world, every day or two, but sometimes the media grabs hold of something or public interest is seized and every single event which would otherwise have been almost entirely ignored is reported on, making it seem like something more significant or out of the ordinary is happening.


So with this logic there could be 15-30 massive explosions reported in a month's time and you would think it is business as usual?

I know we know that. I was being sarcastic. Every time theres a discussion of US military presence around the world and Japan comes up, someone always says there are no US bases in Japan, anymore.

Huge protest ongoing on Okinawa about relocating one also…

"The Sagami General Depot houses storage for petroleum products and ammunition."


That's genius, I wonder if it was also the designated area for smoke breaks?!?

It's home to a combat support unit. They bring fuel and weapons to the area and prepare them to be moved to various places. At some point they have to be stored in relatively vulnerable buildings.

How about a extremest within our ranks? Someone stationed there that decided to do his own personal Jihad.

I understand, it just seems like a recipe for disaster leaving munitions and fuel in the same building. Isn't it common sense to mitigate the potentialities and separate combustibles and explosives?

They aren't in the same warehouse. There are a number of storage areas in that complex. As for putting them near each other, it's usually better to have hazmat stored together.

They found what appear to be launch tubes and munitions near the base, outside the fence.

I'm glad that there are no injuries so far. I hope that there is no radiation leakage. That's not good.

Whatever the case it adds up to ninja explosions with no one to blame. Or to put it simply there is an invisible enemy out there with the ability to strike munition dumps pretty darn well.

Or sloppy handling procedures by US personnel 'Asian Pivoting' arms and munitions to points East.

Just to be clear, the stories you linked to earlier in this thread are from past events, not current fires and explosions at a US military base, Japan.

The only mention of "Japanese extremists attacking" are from you.
