Why the Republic of Korea has turned against Japan? 韓国が「反日」になったわけ

                                                                    

日本国島根県竹島　Takeshima, Shimane Prefecture, Japan

 

Deeply impressed with well-defined analysis of U.S. anti-Japan maneuvering in Asia before and after the Greater East Asia War (or the World War II or the Pacific War called in the Western Hemisphere;  read The Greater East Asia War" VS. "The Pacific War"  ) in the blog post I was recently exposed to, I have decided to devote my time and effort to writing a brief English summary of the post whose title is "Why the Republic of Korea has turned against Japan? 韓国が「反日」になったわけ ".

Syngman Rhee (born on March 26, 1875 and died on July 19, 1965) had forced the Korean population to deny anything Japanese by nurturing hatred toward Japan among the Korean population as soon as he became the first president of the Republic of Korea in 1948 ( Read When S. Korea Gained Independence? August 15, 1945 or August 13, 1948? ).

He was actively involved in fabricating a story that Korea before Japan-Korean annexation in 1910 was the most ideal state in the East whereas denouncing falsely Japan as the most barbaric nation and in spreading it throughout U.S. via such mass media as newspapers published by William Randolph Hearst, thereby trying to seek and secure assistance from U.S. (Read Koreans Return Evil for Good ).

His fabricated story of Japan as "evil" undoubtedly served as a basis for U.S. to determine its political intervention in the Far East. A majority of Koreans who actually lived happily during the 35 years of annexation had to accept his fictitious story, knowing it was untrue because anyone who publicly stated "The Great Imperial Japan was good or Rhee's government was bad" was arrested, jailed, tortured, and executed by Rhee. 

He further strengthened his anti-Japan policy, so as to detruct people's attention from the serious crimes he committed soon after he sworn in as the first president. Just to list a few of his atrocities in South Korea, Rhee was responsible for Bodo League massacre of 1950 (South Korean civilian organizations believe there might have been up to 1,140,000 victims, representing 6% of the 1950 population of South Korea. ), Jeju Uprising of 1948 in which 14,000 to 60,000 individuals were killed in fighting or execution, and National Defense Corps Incident of 1950 in which some 50,000 to 90,000 soldiers starved to death or died of disease on the march and in the training camps because the National Defense Corps Commander Kim Yungun (Kim Yun-keun) (Kim Yoon-keun), son-in-law of Defence minister Shin Sung-mo embezzled funds allocated to foods for the recruited soldiers.

Thus, the direction of Japan-South Korean relationship was basically determined when Rhee became the first president of the Republic of Korea, well assisted by the U.S. government. His anti-Japan policy has been uninterruptedly handed down, one after another, to the current president.

His infamous anti-Japan policy is best demonstrated in the invasion into Takeshima islets in 1952 by unilaterally establishing Syngman Rhee Line on January 18, 1952 in defiance of international laws (Read Takeshima Issue: Unforgivable Atrocity Committed by the government of South Korea ).

A Brief History - Takeshima Invasion by ROK: During the period of January 18, 1952 (date of unilateral establishment of Syngman Rhee Line) to June 22, 1965 (signing date of Treaty on
Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea), 328 Japanese fishing vessels were captured and 3,929 fishermen were abducted by South Korea. And,44 Japanese fishermen were brutally murdered by South Korea. Besides, South Korea used abducted fishermen as a bargaining chip for negotiating with Japan on the Treaty.

Memories of US brutal acts during the war No.1

The United States of America has always been sensitive of which way the wind would blow during the Greater East Asia War (often called either the Pacific War or the WWII in the West) and after the war. This US sensitivity has been observed in its apparent behavior of either having concealed its brutal acts by minimizing the occasions of recording their brutal acts or having classified documents and films depicting them.

In other words, USA well experienced in racial discriminations and crimes against humanity throughout its history has been shrewdly aware of what would probably happen if no measures were taken to prevent the international community from being exposed to truths, that is, its never-ceasing commitments to secure ways to defend its unlawful actions under any circumstances.

However, there are at least one or two good persons found regardless of nationalities, willing to reveal truths of what the rest of their people do or have done against their enemies. An American hero, Mr. Charles A. Lindbergh recalls US atrocities in his diary as follows;

Wednesday, June 21, 1944

General's account of killing a Japanese solider: A technical sergeant in an advanced area some weeks ago complained that he had been with combat forces in the Pacific for over two years and never had a chance to do any fighting himself-that he would like the chance to kill a least one Jap before he went home. He was invited to go out on a patrol into enemy territory.

    The sergeant saw no Jap to shoot, but members of the patrol took a prisoner. The Jap prisoner was brought to the sergeant with the statement that here was his opportunity to kill a Jap.

    "But I can't kill that man! He's a prisoner. He's defenseless."

    "Hell, this is war. We'll show you how to kill the son of a bitch." One of the patrol members offered the Jap a cigarette and a light, and as he started to smoke, an arm was thrown around his head and his throat "slit from ear to ear."

 The above atrocity is not one particular and irregular case at all. There are many more cases of brutalities against the Japanese soldiers during the war.

 

 

US brutal act during US occupation of Japan No. 3

Updated at 8:16 on 6/13/2013

The article below reports on one of the US brutal acts committed in Japan, ignoring Japan's laws and order during US occupation of Japan.

The article dated September 9, 1945, only 7 days after Japan signed an instrument of surrender on September 2, 1945, in Tokyo Bay aboard the USS Missouri when General MacArthur concluded the ceremony by saying: “Let us pray that peace be now restored to the world, and that God will preserve it always."

However, "Peace" MacArthur talked about is only for victors but not for Japan. September 2, 1945 is "a date which will live in infamy." as far as Japan goes. It is the date that General MacArthur began his really cruel brainwashing campaign against Japan and her people, not to mention the brutal acts such as raping, abduction, looting, killing, etc.

The article below succinctly describes the rampant abduction and raping of Japanese women by US soldiers.

Translation:

Title: Japanese women rampantly abducted by US soldiers

           Urging victims to report abduction cases to the Authority

Reporting from Yokohama:

A number of the deplorable criminal cases have gradually decreased because the Japanese authority's repeated strong protest to Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (see Note 1) who has accordingly issued an order to US soldiers seems to have proven effective.

However, compared with other criminal cases committed by the US forces, abduction of Japanese women by US soldiers who craftily avoid surveillance being enforced by US Military Police has conspicuously increased.

Their most common modus operandi is that several US soldiers driving in a car approach a Japanese woman walking on the street and then force her into the car and drive away to the unknown place where they satisfy their sexual desire. They afterward drive her back to the housing area.

A majority of the victims has not submitted complaints to the Japanese Authority because they have no choice but to just keep themselves quiet about their shameful experience they don't want anybody to know. Thus, a number of cases that have been recognized as criminal cases is limited although quite a few number of witness accounts have been so far given to the Japanese Authority.

The Japanese Authority faces legal limitation to deal with those cases reported by eyewitnesses, against which the Japanese Authority in fact desires to strongly protest the Supreme Commander, since whereabouts and names of the victims have remained unknown.  The Japanese Authority urges the victims to submit complaints to the Japanese police station or police box (Koban) although the Japanese Authority fully understands that the victims have to endure pains and shame they have suffered, not only for the victims but also for those who are not yet fully aware of US criminal cases.

There are some victims who have written anonymous letters of complaints about their brutal experience to the police, however, they are not legally effective at all.  They must complain about them directly to the police. The Mainichi Shinbun -end of the translation.

On September 18, 1945, General MacArthur ordered the Government of Japan to suspend for two days from September 18 to September 20 all the reporting activities of The Asahi Shinbun for the reason that the following article published on September 15, 1945 by The Asahi Shinbun had angered General MacArthur.

At the same time, General MacArthur issued his statement as follows:

The Allied power will never recognize Japan as being equal in every respect. As Japan is our enemy who lost the war, she has no rights to occupy any position in the civilized world. We will not negotiate with Japan.

(Although I believe that his original statement was written in English, the above is only a gist of his statement tentatively translated into English from the Japanese translation known to the people in Japan. Thus, it may differ from the original.)

The following translation of the article published by The Asahi Shinbum is provisional.

As long as the United States of America champions “Power is justice.”, she will not refuse to accept her own violations of international laws and war crimes as evidenced in the use of the Atomic bombs, massacres of the innocent civilians, indiscriminate attacks on hospital ships, and the use of poisonous gases.

We will make the Americans observe terrible spectacles of the bombed areas as much as possible and will make them realize that they should nurture their own sense of responsibilities for compensation and reconstruction by means of sincerely revealing the fact that Japan alone will never envision reconstruction and also by placing an emphasis on our determination that we will make them recognize Japan’s democratic recovery and her participation in international trade as being nothing disagreeable to the US interests and also to the international wellbeing, thereby making them actively cooperate with Japan in reconstruction.  by Mr. Ichiro Hatoyama -end of the translation.

Since September 18, 1945, the Japanese media ceased to report anything which General MacArthur might consider damaging to the interests of the allied power, followed by an order for the Japanese media to observe the code of practice issued on September 19, 1945, by which General MacArthur scrutinized every article before publication.

General MacArthur had already ordered AP not to report anything the Allied power might find damaging to its interests on September 1, 1945, one day before the official ceremony of Japan's surrender aboard the USS Missouri.

Therefore, September 18, 1945 is another substantially significant date that US  actually began its brainwashing activities in Japan under "War Guilt Information Program=WGIP" executed by Supreme Commander General Douglas MacArthur, trying to make the entire Japanese population believe that only Japan is bad and wrong in every respect while US and its allies are good and right in every respect.

ＧＨＱは18日、日本政府に対して「2日間、朝日新聞の発行を停止させること」を命じ、マッカーサーは同時に「連合国はいかなる点においても、日本国と連合国を平等とみなさないことを、日本が明確に理解するよう希望する。日本は文明諸国間に地位を占める権利を認められていない敗北せる敵である。最高司令官は日本政府に対して命令する。交渉はしない」という声明を出しました。 なぜ朝日新聞は戦前と戦後で論調を180度変えたのですか？

 朝日新聞は、昭和二十年九月十八日十六時から二十日十六時までの二日間、発行停止処分を受けます。

その発行停止命令の対象となった記事は

“力は正義なり”を標榜する米国である以上、原子爆弾の使用や無辜の国民殺傷が病院船攻撃や毒ガス使用の国際法違反、戦争犯罪であることを拒むことは出来ぬであらう。

極力米人をして罹災地の惨状を視察せしめ、彼ら自身彼らの行為に対する報償の念と復興の責任とを自覚せしむること、日本の独力だけでは断じて復興の見通しのつかぬ事実を率直に披瀝し日本の民主主義的復興、国際貿易加入が米国の利益、世界の福祉と相反せぬ事実を認識せしむることに努力の基礎を置き、あくまで彼をして日本の復興に積極的協力を行はしむるごとく力を致さねばならぬ。こうやって歴史は歪められていく  

Note 1: Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (SCAP) is the title held by General Douglas MacArthur during the occupation of Japan following the Greater East Asia War ( or WWII or Pacific War in the West).

日米安保に基づいて日本に駐留する米軍に自衛隊が攻撃を仕掛ければ自衛隊がアメリカ侵略をしたことになる。支那事変は、義和団事件最終議定書に基づいて支那に駐留した日本軍に支那軍が攻撃をしたから、支那が日本を侵略したのだ。村山富一や河野洋平ははそんなことさえ分かっていない。

If Japan Self-Defense Forces attacks US Forces stationed in Japan for any reason, Japan's action will be interpreted as an invasion into the United States of America since both countries maintain an effective bilateral agreement, called Japan-US Security Treaty.

The same principle has been applied to the Second Sino-Japanese War (July 7, 1937 – September 2, 1945), in which China fired at Japanese forces stationed in China as Japan was a party to Boxer Protocol signed on September 7, 1901, between the Qing Empire of China and the Eight-Nation Alliance. Therefore, China invaded Japan.

Ex-PM Murayama and Kono have been found to be so ignorant about this fact.

Brutal South Korea!

いま慰安婦に関する橋下発言を批判している人は歴史をまともに勉強した事のない無知な人たちが多いのです。また彼らは、批判によって日本を貶め韓国に味方する国賊的な行動をしていることに気が付いていないのです。これらの人たちは橋下市長よりも、もっと大きく日本を傷つけているのです。

Those who either criticize or disaprove of Osaka Mayor's statements on "comfort women" are often found to be ignorant about history since they have not fully studied it. And, they are not aware that they have acted against Japan, thereby harming her national interests much greater than Mayor Hashimoto has done. Besides, they are inadvertently supporting south korea while downgrading Japan.

田母神俊雄‏@toshio_tamogami

韓国政府はベトナム戦争時のライタイハンに言及することもない。都合の悪いものには蓋だ。 そしてその虐殺・強姦犯＝韓国軍の同盟軍が米軍だった。大東亜戦争後、米軍が日本に進駐軍を送り最初に日本政府に命じたことは日本女性による慰安所をつくることだった。

The government of south korea has never reflected on its deeds such as raping the innocent Vietnamese village girls during the Vietnam war. They are just keeping a lid on such an issue as Lai Dai Han (lai Đại Hàn in Vietnamese : pronounced [laːi ɗâˀi hâːn] Korean: 라이따이한, meaning a mixed ancestry person born to a south korea rapist and a Vietnamese victim) considered as the victims of rapes by Korean soldiers during the Vietnam War lest they get accused of (by the international community). And, the US forces had the pleasure of being allied with south korean forces as genocide criminals and rapists. After the Greater East Asia War (called either the Pacific War or the World War II in the West), "establishment of comfort stations" was the first order given to the defeated Japan by the US forces dispatched to Japan.

田母神俊雄‏@toshio_tamogami

ベトナム戦争時、韓国軍に慰安所はなかった。が、韓国軍兵士は十万人単位のベトナム人女性を強姦し、その一部を虐殺した。結果、数万人（最大3万人と言われるが正確な数は不明）のライタイハン（韓国人とベトナム人の混血児）が戦後、放置された。この事実を韓国政府は否認することができないでいる。

During the Vietnam war, south korean forces had no comfort stations established for their soldiers. However, they raped a few hundred of thousand innocent Vietnamese girls, some of whom were brutally murdered by them. As a result, tens of thousands of mixed ancestry persons (whose exact number has not been confirmed yet but whose number is currently estimated to be roughly 30,000 at most) born to south korean rapists and Vietnamese victims. After the war, they have been just deserted by them. This fact is so palpable that the government of south korea can't deny it.

Deep Hatred Monument Over Massacre Committed by South Korean Forces whose inscription says as follows;

Sins have reached to the heavens.

And, they shall be remembered for thousands of years.

430 villagers victimized in this massacre.

The victims included pregnat women, the elderly aged between 50 and 80,  and children.

2 people killed in this massacre were thrown into fire when they were still alive..

 

The Bình Hòa Massacre was a massacre conducted by the South Korean forces between December 3 and December 6, 1966, of 430 unarmed citizens in Binh Hoa village, Quang Ngai province in South Vietnan. The district was in the operational area of the Blue Dragon Brigade. Most of the victims were children, elderly and women.The victims included 21 pregnant women.The South Korean soldiers burnt down all of the houses and killed hundreds of cows and buffalo after the atrocities.Then the survivors joined the Viet Cong and fought against the United States and its Allies, one of which was South Korea. The South Korean forces conducted similar massacres in Binh Tai village, Binh An village and Tay Vinh village within the same year.

This photo tells us much more than a historical fact that South Korea fought in Vietnam, catering for the needs of the United States of America. That is how brutal Koreans were during the Vietnam War. They look like "Predators" seen in the American movie. You can count how many ROK soldiers are in the photo. They are all smiling. They are smiling after the victory, in which they brutally killed Vietnamese and cut their ears off and then strung them onto the wire for completing a sort of　“Hawaiian Flower (Ears) Lei”. South Korea has never apologized to Vietnam for their brutality including raping thousands of women. They left thousands of orphans behind.

ベトナム人を虐殺し、片耳を削いで針金に通し、首飾りとしている。
それを笑顔で記念写真を撮るという、残虐きわまりない行為。
日本に統治時代を言うのであれば、韓国はまずベトナムに謝罪と賠償をすべきだろう。
何一つしていないのに、被害者の如く日本にだけ言うダブルスタンダードは卑怯きわまりない。

米軍が大東亜戦争後日本を軍事占領し、慰安所の設置を要求した際、堅気の女性が傷つけられては大変と、慰安婦になることを申し出たのは当時芸者をやっていた女性たちだった。彼らに金儲けの意識はあったかもしれないが、当時の芸者の人たちには、国民を守るという意識があったことも事実である。

When the US forces occupied Japan and demanded Japan to establish "comfort stations" after the Greater East Asia War (called either the Pacific War or the World War II), Geisha girls courageously stood up for the innocent Japanese girls, trying to prevent them from being raped by the US soldiers. It is a known fact that Geisha girls in those days had a great spirit of defending the Japanese nationals from evils.

A Japanese old woman says "Parents sold their daughters."

 

 

A Japanese old woman says "Parents sold their daughters." Updated on May 21, 2013

Today, I happened to talk to a Japanese woman aged 97 who has lived in a home for the aged for 8 years or so. She still reads newspapers and watches TV news programs every day. Her interest ranges from home economics to international political issues. She is well versed in every subject the average Japanese adults find interested in.

She all of a sudden started to talk about "comfort women" now drawing public interest in Japan, obviously knowing that Osaka Mayor Hashimoto's repeated statements on "comfort women" have stirred up criticism and disapproval from overseas.

She recalls that in 1940s no one had ever questioned about parents selling their daughters for the sake of alleviating poverty since there existed no such a system publicly established as to extend help to the poor families both in Japan and in Korea. 

Daughters sold to brothels or others were well aware that their families would not survive if they refused to be sold. It was not a matter of willingly or unwillingly at all but it was a matter of helping their families to survive.

None denies that some women were tricked into prostitution by swindlers or even by their neighbors. None denies that some women were abducted and sold to brothels. However, neither the Government of Japan nor Imperial Japanese Army was involved in forcing them into prostitution, contrary to what some Japanese leftists claim in collaboration with the government of south korea.

 "Comfort women" had felt better off and had found it joyful and fulfilling to serve as professional prostitutes, thinking that they were supporting their families. However, nothing changed the fact that they were virtually sold as prostitutes in a sense that swindlers found loopholes in the laws being enforced since 1872. One of the typical loopholes often used among swindlers was to conclude a loan agreement allowing the poor parents to receive advance payment as a means of evading compliance with the laws that formally prohibited human trafficking. They viewed this practice not as slavery or any sort in a western sense but as a way to pay back debts to them as loan sharks. There were cases in which those involved in this sort of business had been found guilty of violating the laws.

The most important thing we must keep in our mind when dealing with an issue of "comfort women" is that we must examine the issue in terms of the historical context, in which the prevailing concepts of human rights and human rights violations were practically non-existent in the world, or at least not as much as we emphasize them now, particularly as seen in the United States of America that still struggles with a number of the worst examples of human rights violations.

 

The above photo shows the travelling Korean comfort women joyfully crossing a river.  The term "Comfort Women" is a translation of the Japanese word 慰安婦 pronounced ianfu, a euphemism for the word prostitute.

昭和14年（1939）８月31日の東亜日報。満洲の奉天で朝鮮人の悪徳紹介業者が跋扈して百人以上の農村女性誘拐されたので釜山から刑事を急行させたという記事。

The Dong-a Ilbo reports on rampant abduction of more than 100 Chinese girls by Korean
swindlers (those agents engaged in recruiting personnel) from villages in
Mukden, Manchukuo on August 31, 1939. Police investigators have been immediately
dispatched to Mukden from Busan, Korea.

Many articles of this sort have been found in Japan, informing the public that police was determined to eradicate abduction of girls both in Korea and in China.

Notes:

1.The Dong-A Ilbo
(literally East Asia Daily) is the leading newspaper in Korea, established in
1920, 10 years after Japan-Korean annexation.
2. The Great Empire of Manchuria was established in 1932 and continued to exist until 1945.

US brutal act during US occupation of Japan No. 2

The above photo shows one of the comfort stations established specifically for US servicemen since Japan had to obey any order US occupation forces issued. The comfort station in the photo was located at Yasuura, Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.

 

Before further disclosing US brutal acts in Japan during US occupation of Japan, readers should be exposed to the overstrain the Government of Japan had experienced after Japan faced a major defeat on August 15, 1945. It was not during the Great East Asia War (called either the Pacific War or the World War II in the West) but only during US occupation of Japan after Japan's major defeat that the Government of Japan had to get itself involved in establishing "comfort stations" as it was ordered by General Headquarters, the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (hereinafter referred to as "GHQ") on September 28, 1945.

The order given by GHQ specifically instructed Japan to establish "comfort stations "for officers and other servicemen stationed in the Kanto plain.

Despite Japan's efforts to protect the Japanese women from the sexual assaults, including initial allocation of national budget (JPY 50 million equivalent to USD 1 billion at the current value) to the establishment of "comfort stations", a huge number of the Japanese women had been raped by the US occupation forces until Japan recovered its sovereignty on April 28, 1952.  One must remember that the amount of JPY 50 million meant "astronomical costs" Japan had to bear just for satisfying sexual desire of US sercivemen when Japan's economy was almost completely devastated by unnecessary and relentless US carpet bombing on civilian targets throughout Japan, not to mention Hiroshima and Nagasaki massacres.

Believe it or not, "raping" had begun as soon as US occupation forces (US Marines) landed on Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan on August 30, 1945. 

To be continued.

I regret that recently I've kept tweeting on South Korea. But Ms. Park! I have seen your recent meeting with President Obama as a slander about Japan. What wicked character are you?  Is it only me who saw it that way? Japan's involvement in the issue of nuclear aresenal development by North Korea will produce nothing since North Korea will never give up nukes, anyway. We should look at this situation as the best chance for Japan to deal with our own defense issues, thereby helping us improve our diplomacy.

Failed Attack on PM Abe over Yasukuni Shrine

At the Budget Committee of the Upper House, the Diet (Japan's national legislature) held on April 25, the Democratic Party of Japan, better known as so-called "Anti-Japan Political Party" or "A group of leftist operatives" or "A group of traitors" among many Japanese cybercitizens has failed a surprise attack on Prime Minister of Japan Mr. Abe Shinzo and Mr. Furuya Keiji, State Minister in charge of North Korea's abductions of Japanese nationals over the Abe Cabinet members' visit to Yasukuni Shrine where 2.4 million brave souls of the fallen soldiers are enshrined at for remembering and honoring their dedicated services to Japan and her people.

Ms. Tokunaga Eri, representing the Democratic Party of Japan clearly stated in her question that families of abductees (those abducted by North Korea) have lost all hope (of rescuing the victims) due to the Abe Cabinet members' visit to Yasukuni Shrine, subsequently raising a question of whether the Abe Cabinet will further address the abduction issue or not.

Her story came as a bolt from the blue. Mr. Furuya Keiji then immediately returned a question to her "Can you tell us which one of the families of abduction victims has actually criticized our visit to Yasukuni Shrine? I just can't overlook your accusation. So, give us their names if it is true?."

Without clarifying the accusation she just made against Mr. Furuya Keiji, she suddenly started firing words of accusation at PM Abe Shinzo as she seemed having been cornered, facing a question of who has criticized the visit to Yasukuni Shrine. Although she seemed to have lost her confidence in winning her battle, she asked PM Abe what he thinks of their visit to Yasukuni Shrine she believes undeniable in having negatively impacted South Korea and China.

Before replying her question, PM Abe asked her to answer the question raised by Mr. Furuya Keiji as he believes it extremely essential in view of the importance attached to the functions of the Budget Committee. PM Abe further stated that not only she as a questioner will lose her credibility but also she will damage credibility of her party if she can't produce evidence to substantiate her claim.

PM Abe emphatically reminded her that in the area of diplomacy, there exist a number of attempts to repudiate truths, for example, Chinese denial of a truth that Senkaku has long been historically and internationally recognized as being an integral part of Japan.

As for the visits to Yasukuni Shrine, PM Abe introduced her to the historical account that no South Korean president had ever criticized Japan until Roh Moo-hyun became the ninth president of South Korea (2003–2008). PM Abe believes it important to look into why South Korea has all of a sudden posed in such a manner as to show its current stance toward our visit to Yasukuni Shrine.

He further emphasized that even China had never protested Japan against ex-Prime Ministers' visit to Yasukuni Shrine when and after 14 Japanese, so-called war criminals (Note: no war criminals legally acknowledged in Japan. They were either executed=murdered by US or died in jail.) were enshrined together with other brave souls in 1978. He said it was just recently that Chinese criticism came out of the blue. 

He continued to say that similarly China had never protested Japan against her sovereignty over Senkaku Islands during the period from 1895 to 1971. PM Abe believes it necessary to fully recognize these facts, so that we will properly deal with China and at the same time he believes it natural to express a sense of reverence for those who devoted their lives to our country. He believes that his cabinet members will not accept any threats whatsoever.

Concluding her question over Yasukuni Shrine, Ms. Tokunaga Eri asked PM Abe how he will deal with unpleasant feelings expressed by China and South Korea.

PM Abe said that Yasukuni Shrine is here in Japan and just nearby here, and that he strongly questions those who accept their criticism of our visit to Yasukuni Shrine for praying for the brave souls without feeling unjustified pain and that he believes it wrong for them to condemn our visits. PM Abe continued to say he believes it is his duty to defend our national interests and to preserve pride of our history and tradition. He finally said he would like to make it clear that we will not compromise our pride just for the sake of harmonizing.

Ms. Tokunaga said feebly she has some sentiments about this matter; therefore, she will discuss them with PM Abe whenever possible in the future. She sounded like she was learning an important lesson by this failed attack.

LDP Policy Chief commented on Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo on April 24 as follows;

I believe that Japan-China relation is extremely important, however, it is none of their business how we Japanese honor and remember our soldiers who lost their lives during their services to our country. We decide on how we appreciate their services, therefore, I question why our visit to Yasukuni Shrine develops into a diplomatic issue.

Tweets as follows; Calmly putting my hands together, I paid the fullest respect and the highest tribute to the souls of the war dead enshrined at Yasukuni Shrine with other 212 members of the Diet (Japan's National Legislature). Compared with the last years, the number of politicians who visit Yasukuni Shrine has considerably increased. I regard this increase as a clear indication of the public will, well evidenced in the general election held in the last December. Obviously, we must stay vigilant of the Chinese movements including the Chinese government ships.

ＴＰＰ：米国農業団体の声明文

米国農業会連合会長ボッブ・ストールマン氏は、米国による日本のＴＰＰ交渉参加承認に関して次のように述べております。2013年4月13日ワシントン－米国農業連合会は、米政府が日本をＴＰＰの交渉相手として追加することを承認した決定に喜んでおります。

米国の主要貿易相手国としての日本がＴＰＰにより米国農業の拡大を推進するからです。2012年に於いて約140億ドルの農産物を購入した米国第四番目の農産物輸出市場である日本との貿易は米国の農家及び酪農家にとって重要であります。アメリカ合衆国及び日本の両国は、ＴＰＰのパートナーとしての日本から、そして、農産物貿易の為の向上した衛生と植物検疫基準及びＴＰＰ参加国への拡大した市場アクセスを共に分かち合うことにより利益を得ることになります。

最近の日本による米国牛肉へのアクセス拡大決定は、日本が正しい科学的根拠に基づく米国農産物への市場アクセスを向上させることが可能であることを示しております。日本を含む包括的なＴＰＰ合意は、貿易関係を強化し、未だに残る障壁を明確にし、アジア・太平洋市場の競争力を向上します。

Statement by Bob Stallman, President, American Farm Bureau Federation, Regarding U.S. Approval of Japan TTP

WASHINGTON, D.C., April 12, 2013 – “The American Farm Bureau Federation is pleased with the decision of the U.S. to approve the addition of Japan as a negotiating partner in the Trans Pacific Partnership. As a major U.S. trading partner, Japan would bolster the reach of the TPP for U.S. agriculture.

“As the fourth-largest U.S. agricultural export market, with nearly $14 billion in purchases in 2012, trade with Japan is important to America’s farmers and ranchers. Both the United States and Japan will benefit from Japan being a TPP partner, and by sharing in improved sanitary and phytosanitary standards for agricultural trade and expanded market access with TPP nations.

“The recent decision by Japan to increase access for U.S. beef shows that Japan can act to improve market access for U.S. agricultural products based on sound science. A comprehensive TPP agreement that includes Japan will strengthen trade relationships, address remaining barriers and improve the competitiveness of the Asia/Pacific market.”

 

The American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), commonly referred to as the Farm Bureau, is a nonprofit organization and describes itself as the largest general farm organization in the United States. The stated mission of AFBF is "working through our grassroots organizations to enhance and strengthen the lives of rural Americans and to build strong, prosperous agricultural communities." AFBF is headquartered in Washington, DC. There are 50 state Farm Bureau affiliates and one in Puerto Rico.

米国農業会連合（ＡＦＢＦ）は、ＮＰＯ法人であり、米国最大の農業団体です。この団体の使命は、米国の地方（田舎）に住むアメリカ国民の生活の向上と強化そして、強く、豊かな農村を築く為、草の根組織を通じて達成することです。本部は、米国ワシントンＤＣ（首都）にあり、米本土に５０の関連団体とプエルトリコ（カリブ海に浮かぶ島、アメリカ合衆国の自治的・未編入領域）が加盟しております。

We Japanese should be exposed to the historical events, in which the United States forces and its allies brutally practiced abuse of Japanese POWs. We most assuredly and most incontestably shall remember that International Military Tribunal for the Far East, so called Tokyo Trials was just a great deception.

The following photos (only a few of many photos) prove that the United States forces and its allies are guilty of Class C war crimes (crimes against humanity) which is one of the three broad categories established by USA and its allies.  The photos alone are enough to prove that USA and its allies committed war crimes of forcing Japanese POWs either to labor under inhumane conditions or to experience ill-treatment.

Many Japanese soldiers were executed (=murdered) by USA and its allies for the war crimes which they had never committed at all.

Mr. Nariaki Nakayama, a member of the House of Representatives tweets as follows;

In the Budget Committee of the Lower House, Japan's National Legislature, I believe that the door has been opened for Prime Minister of Japan Shintaro Abe to visit Yasukuni Shrine since I first raised a question of what Prime Minister thinks of his failure to visit Yasukuni Shrine despite the very fact that he visits Arlington National Cemetery where the soldiers killed in battles against Japan are honored and remembered. And, then I touched upon the diary of the late Prime Minister of China Zhou Enlai, in which he states that he was deeply impressed by Yasukuni Shrine when he visited there. This overture, I believe, has thwarted expected criticism (of PM Abe's future visit to Yasukuni Shrine) by China, thus helping Japan become a normal nation.

North Korea is playing almost like a peevish preschool child as it has no significant military capability. TV reports on its strategy meeting, which in fact is part of its information warfare, designed to make us accept its demands since it is widely known that no real military strategy meetings should be disclosed. Japanese TV stations should demand North Korea to pay fees for commercial advertisements on TV.

The Allied Powers Violated the Hague Land War Convention in the Post War Japan

The following article was posted on May 2, 2011 when the Liberal Democratic Party was a major opposition party. Recently, Prime Minister Abe and his cabinet has decided to designate April 28 as "Sovereignty Restoration Day", so as to remind the public that Japan endured 7 years of military occupation by the Allied forces and restored its independence by concluding "San Francisco Peace Pact" on April 28, 1952.

 

 

Mr. Kazuo Ijiri, a columnist focuses on the following three points with emphasis on a violation of Hague Land War Convention by the occupation forces led by MacArthur, Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers (SCAP).

 

A Summary of the Above Video Footage

1. National Diet (Japan's national legislature) members federation established on February 25

2. April 28 should be designated as Sovereignty Restoration Day

3. April 28 is the most important day in the post war history

 

A newspaper clipping (Sankei) dated February 26 shown in the video says:

National Diet Members Federation (members of the Liberal Democratic Party) headed by Mr. Takeshi Noda, a member of the House of Representatives has been established on February 25 for promoting "Designation of April 28 as Sovereignty Restoration Day". The purpose of designating April 28 as Sovereignty Restoration Day is to remind the Japanese nationals of portraying themselves what independence of Japan should mean. Although they are not particular about designating April 28 as a national holiday, they demand that the Government of Japan should hold some memorial event on the day.

 

 

We have had an annual meeting named "National Gathering for Sovereignty Restoration Day" in Tokyo on April 28 for the last 15 years, in which we celebrate "Sovereignty Restoration" and discuss its significance. This means that Japan was placed under the military administration of the Allied Forces for about 6 years and 8 months from September 2, 1945 when Japan signed an instrument of surrender aboard Battleship Missouri anchored in the Bay of Tokyo to April 28, 1952 when Japan restored its independence.

 

Moreover, we should never forget the historical fact that during the period of military occupation the present constitution and the fundamental law of education were established, thereby constituting a crime in view of the Hague Land War Convention since the Convention prohibits the occupation forces from establishing the laws being permanent in nature in the occupied areas. The occupation forces may give orders being temporary in nature to those occupied as observed in the cases of agricultural land reform order, Zaibatsu dissolution order, etc. The spirit of the Hague Land War Convention is found in the area where the occupations forces may exercise their very strong authority to control the occupied areas by giving orders but not establishing the laws binding them permanently.

 

MacArthur, Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers (SCAP)  committed a crime of establishing the constitution and the fundamental law of education being permanent in nature with some Japanese politicians in such a manner as to violate the Hague Land War Convention. They fall into a category of co-principals in committing a crime, whose responsibilities shall be defined as being equal, under Japan's Criminal Law.

 

Regardless of political inclinations, all the political parties neglected the significance of remembering and celebrating April 28 as "Sovereignty Restoration Day". The Liberal Democratic Party now as a major opposition party has finally acted in direction of promoting "Designation of April 28 as Sovereignty Restoration Day", so as to remind us that April 28 is the  most important day for the Japanese nationals in the post war history as it gives us an opportunity to review the post war history of Japan.

Who's stirring up anti-Japan sentiments in Japan?

The following two  Professors discuss "Who's stirring up anti-Japan sentiments in Japan" in the video below.

 

Dr. Shoichi Watanabe, Professor Emeritus, Sophia  University (  http://bit.ly/eJPYQn )

Dr. Hiroaki Kobayashi, Professor Emeritus, Nippon University (  http://bit.ly/f7iIXI  )

  

 

Dr. Shoichi Watanabe said: I have spent a few decades, wondering why we have such politicians as acting against the interests of Japan and why we have such editors as preferring to publish the articles damaging to Japan. I finally concluded that we had those leftists bearing a grudge against Japan who were inevitably purged in the prewar era because they were financially supported and directed by Коминтерн=Comintern short for Communist International. They lived in darkness, hating the era they lived through.

Dr. Hiroaki Kobayashi said: Yes, I think the treatment they received was inevitable.

 

Dr. Shoichi Watanabe said: During the occupation era, they and their supporters had rapidly risen to dominance in the press and the field of academics, well assisted by General Headquarters of U.S. Occupation Troops. As a matter of fact, the well-disciplined Japanese leftists like Mr. Manabu Sano ( 佐野学http://bit.ly/enTGgU ) and Mr. Kiyoharu Tanaka (田中清玄http://bit.ly/f0OYeS ) all left the communist movement as soon as they received an order from Comintern to start an attempt to abolish Japan's Imperial System. However, those who fanatically believed that everything about Japan was bad, remained to be leftists. They were very weird. And, they were mostly ethnic Koreans. They had no reason to give up the idea of abolishing Japan's Imperial System.

 

I am not saying those people are still working at Asahi Shinbun but journalists much influenced by those Korean leftists have been writing and publishing the articles very critical of Japan, thereby stirring up anti-Japan sentiments in Japan and having Japan say anything against her interests. That is my conclusion.

 

Dr. Hiroaki Kobayashi said: Oh, that is something I have never noticed because I wasn't looking at those things that way. I feel that those people who are in fact believers in totalitarianism perhaps tend to have such a thought. The fact that they were financially supported and directed by Starlin clearly indicates what I feel is right. Because of their influence, we observed emergence of the radical leftist students in the 1960s and 1970s.

 

Dr. Shoichi Watanabe said: Hitler and Mussolini were not only believers in totalitarianism but also patriots. Regardless of what Starlin said, he was in fact a patriot. However, it is very strange that those who believe in totalitarianism seem to dislike Japan.

 

Dr. Hiroaki Kobayashi said: Well, I think so. They are anti-Japan journalists and politicians. But I didn't notice what you have just said.

 

Dr. Shoichi Watanabe said: It is not a matter of whether they are ethnically Koreans or not but they still harbor the Korean leftist ideology that condemns Japan as being bad.

 

Dr. Hiroaki Kobayashi said: Well, that is something I haven't noticed.

 

Dr. Shoichi Watanabe said: I say that because they are the Japanese nationals, I will have to be patient with them only if they are just totalitarians. In fact, they are not just totalitarians but they hate everything about Japan.

 

Dr. Hiroaki Kobayashi said: A week ago, I received a mission of 100 Korean members. They are ex-politicians, retired military men, press people, etc. I was requested to discuss East Asian security and Japan-China relations. I emphasized that Japan and Korea have shared common values such as democracy and freedom and that Korea should not be value-neutral when considering Japan and China, as practiced by Korea either placing equidistantly Japan and China or being sided with China while criticising Japan. I feel that their reasoning gets to be obscured by emotions.

 

Dr. Shoichi Watanabe said: South Korea has not reached the level of civilization that makes them understand what treaty is because they keep bringing up the same old stories even if we have a good and effective treaty called Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea.

 

Dr. Hiroaki Kobayashi said: That is a good and effective treaty. I really feel that I find it extremely difficult to discuss something with them because they asked me a question of whether Japan advanced into or invaded the Korean peninsula and China even after all I had to say to them. I told them to remember what I have already said to you. Since I am specialized in international laws, I am a kind of reluctant to use the terms "Advance" or "Invade" at all. I told them not to expect any words like advance or invade from me. I may discuss it from the perspective of "colonization" and "Imperialism". I told them that I have nothing to do with what our politicians have said.

The Best Tweet of Today: Korea must remember its history of invasion

The tweet below says in Japanese as follows:

We have learned a lot of history (see Note 1. below) from south korea, haven't we? Just remember how often korea invaded Japan even before The Mongol invasions of Japan (元寇, Genkō^?) of 1274 and 1281 (see Note 2. below). Japan should demand south korea to apologize to Japan for having invaded Japan in 813, 871, 880, 894, 906, 943, 998, 999, 1014, 1019, and 1097.

Note 1: A south korean Assistant Professor Ms. Kim appeared on Japanese TV just a few days ago (March 4, 2013) and stated that south korea will never forget a history of Japanese invasion into korea even for 1,000 years. Japanese commentators strongly dismissed her statement as being false and further demanded her to remember the korean brutal invasions into Japan in the last 1,000 years. They are two invasions generally called "The Mongol invasions of Japan.

Note 2.:The Mongol invasions of Japan (元寇, Genkō^?) of 1274 and 1281 was in fact brutally and mercilessly executed by koreans as korea was a vassal state of The Mongolian empire.

何故、日本が朝鮮半島系、シナ系の連中に好き勝手にされていたかを考えてみましょう

 

日本国沖縄県石垣市登野城- Tonoshiro, Ishigaki City, Okinawa
Prefecture, Japan

日本国島根県竹島　Takeshima, Shimane Prefecture, Japan

 

 

日本が何故、朝鮮半島系、シナ系の連中に好き勝手にされていたかを考えてみましょう。本当の日本を取り戻すには、売国奴の元祖である自民党（公明党と同等の政党）そして、その副産物或いは、副作用である民主党勢力を衰退させるしか方法は、ありません。自民党政権、民主党政権で何を実現しましたか。日本は、昭和２０年９月２日の東京湾ミズリー号艦上での降伏文書署名の瞬間と、基本的に未だ何も変わっておりません。占領されたままです。憲法問題、基地問題、領土問題、捏造従軍慰安婦問題、拉致問題等と本当の日本を取り戻す努力を妨害することばかりです。
戦後レジームからの脱却と叫んでいる方がいますが、何に一つ具体的に示していない。
朝鮮半島系、シナ系に迎合する売国奴を一掃しようではありませんか。

Mr. Yara Tomohiro, ex-Commentator of The Okinawa Times tweets as follows: Last night five of us met at Ginowan City, Okinawa and discussed our strategy while drinking. We agreed on the following;
1. We continue to fly "Kites" whenever we can and as much as we can.
2. On every weekend, families get together and enjoy flying kites.
3. In the evening, set off fireworks. Of course, use "Fireworks Rockets" and set off fireworks rockets targeted at Futenma.
4. Fly "Lanterns" and burn "Osprey"!

Trick or Treat? : A Great US Achievement in Japan Lingers on

A scary story on the scariest night of the year! Just in case you are interested in Japan's struggle to dispose of the bombs indiscriminately dropped in Japan by the US government during the Greater East Asia War (See "The Greater East Asia War" VS. "The Pacific War" , Japan Self-Defense Forces has disposed of 122, 204 live bombs found from 1958 to 2007, not including those (961 tons) found and disposed of from 1954 to 1957. As far as Japan is concerned, the war has not ended yet, costing Japan a lot not only in terms of money but also in terms of human lives.

Certificate of commendation Awarded to U.S. Marine in Okinawa

西村幸祐‏@kohyu195223h

昨年12月17日、沖縄米海兵隊員が焼き肉屋で隣席の女性が苦しんでいる事に気付き、窒息していた女性の命を救った。写真は消防本部の表彰式だが、沖縄県２紙は消防の取材依頼を無視して黙殺した。こんな報道偏向は沖縄では日常茶飯事。支那の謀略は続く。 pic.twitter.com/4Sidpmjb

tweets as follows:

The photo below shows Awarding ceremony in which certificate of commendation has been awarded to a U.S. Marine by the Fire Department Headquarters in Okinawa for appreciating his act of saving a Japanese woman from being choked to death at Yakiniku Restaurant where he happened to be sitting near the woman at the time of the incident. However, two major Okinawan newspapers have not only ignored this news but also have concealed it from the public eyes. This kind of biased reporting activities are nothing new as Chinese are actively engaged in plotting to control the Okinawan mass media.
