Corporate Profiteering Impacts U.S. Military Base in Okinawa

I'm really proud of this video from my new YouTube channel with Annabel Park, exploring the U.S. military base controversy in Okinawa, Japan. 

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr0nAm3pNMk Recently retired U.S. State Department official William Brooks explains what former Administrative Defense Vice Minister Moriya recently revealed about the current agreement between the United States and Japan to relocate the Futenma Marine Corps Air Station to Henoko Bay. Local construction companies in Okinawa wanted to build the elaborate air base in the bay to maximize profit on the relocation.

I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but corruption and Government collusion with the construction industry is extremely common in Japan... 'Streets to Nowhere' being just one example of this.
