Major Japanese Politician Declares: 'Japan Is Increasing Its Military Might Now More Than Ever Before Since World War Two.'

<p>Major Japanese politician, Maro Taro, Japan's Defense Minister, declared recently that Japan is increasing its military might now more than ever since World War Two. According to <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.newsweek.com/north-korea-crisis-japan-bigger-military-role-ashes-war-669217">one report (From Newsweek)</a>:</p><blockquote><p>Recently appointed Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono announced Thursday that Tokyo would be seeking a greater role in world affairs, including a boost in its military force in response to a mounting nuclear crisis between its ally, the U.S., and longtime foe, North Korea.</p><p>Speaking at Columbia University in New York, Kono said Japan would continue to expand its international presence since "rising from the ashes of the war more than 70 years ago." Japan has kept only a modest self-defense force after being defeated by Allied, mostly U.S., forces in World War II and has largely relied on post-war security agreements with the U.S., but threats from nuclear-armed North Korea have compelled lawmakers to push for new laws giving Japan more freedom to defend itself and potentially even launch a first strike.</p><p>"Japan is assuming more responsibility in the area of security and defense than ever before, Japan has increased its defense budget for five consecutive years, upgrading our defense capability, such as Japan's ballistic missile defense system, " Kono, who was appointed to his post last month, told his audience.</p><p>"Furthermore, we are prepared to do more to contribute to the stability of the world. Recent security legislations have enabled us to expand our security cooperation with the U.S. and other partners," he added, including China and Russia as potential players.</p></blockquote><p>Our colleague, Andrew Beiszad, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2017/09/15/this-whole-fear-over-north-korea-attacking-the-usa-is-an-utter-farce-kim-jong-un-is-a-toothless-tiger-but-a-willing-puppet-being-used-as-a-means-to-justify-remilitarizing-japan/">recently wrote on North Korea</a> and how the fears being fomented are being spread deliberately to help Japan. Its relevant that I post his article here:</p><p> </p><p>Lots of people are upset about North Korea. They see their leader, known for haircuts as strange as his personality, firing large and nuclear weapons around Japan, an American ally.</p><p>However, before being pulled into a state of fear, anxiety, or calling for giving lots of weapons to Japan or invading Korea. Let's take a deep breath together and think critically before acting. God gave us mind to think with, and while feelings are important, man is not an animal. He has a mind to think with and that is what he must use first.</p><p>.....</p><p>Let's address the state of North Korea first.</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/SausageServlet-2-392610.jpg"><img alt="" class=" wp-image-113955 aligncenter" height="301" sizes="(max-width: 507px) 100vw, 507px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/SausageServlet-2-392610-300x178.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/SausageServlet-2-392610-300x178.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/SausageServlet-2-392610.jpg 590w" width="507" /></a></p><p>North Korea is a very, very poor and backwards place. The nation has sealed itself off from the world since 1953, and like Cuba, North Korea exists in a veritable state of suspended animation. But unlike Cuba, the nation is even more isolated with no natural resources, no industry, and scarcely any agriculture. Food shortages are widespread, almost all of the 25 million people are desperately poor save the army, which is about the only way to guarantee oneself a meal, and hence is the reason why it is over a million people strong, because they <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.newsweek.com/north-koreas-kim-jong-un-starving-his-people-pay-nuclear-weapons-573015">buy weapons with what little money they have instead of investing in food production</a>.</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/article-2624164-1DADC8E800000578-210_964x664.jpg"><img alt="" class=" wp-image-113956 aligncenter" height="319" sizes="(max-width: 462px) 100vw, 462px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/article-2624164-1DADC8E800000578-210_964x664-300x207.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/article-2624164-1DADC8E800000578-210_964x664-300x207.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/article-2624164-1DADC8E800000578-210_964x664-768x529.jpg 768w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/article-2624164-1DADC8E800000578-210_964x664.jpg 964w" width="462" /></a></p><p>The only two nations that North Korea has any direct relations with are China and Russia. Otherwise, they are pretty much by themselves. They have nothing, and is enough for the majority of people to get through life while staying alive because of the food problems.

That is a problem not going away any time soon.</p><p>....</p><p>Let's address the North Korean army</p><p>As mentioned above, the army is over a million people strong.

However, does one really think that an army made up of used military surplus weapons, technology of which dates to almost a century ago, is going to be able to launch a World-War II style D-Day invasion of ANY state in the USA? Given that the USA provides military defense to South Korea and Japan, does North Korea ever actually stand any change against the US military, let alone the Chinese or Russians? Given America's highly aggressive attitude towards attacking nations it wants to invade for political purposes such as Ukraine, Libya, Syria, and Iraq, does one not think that if the US actually saw North Korea as a real threat or something that she wanted to invade that she would have not found a justification to invade already?</p><p>A war between North Korea and the USA would be the equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel, and North Korea would be the fish.</p><p>....</p><p>Let's address the nuclear weapons issue.</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/43FF435000000578-4886026-The_North_also_claims_its_new_warhead_is_small_enough_to_be_fitt-a-33_1505428026027.jpg"><img alt="" class=" wp-image-113959 aligncenter" height="301" sizes="(max-width: 452px) 100vw, 452px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/43FF435000000578-4886026-The_North_also_claims_its_new_warhead_is_small_enough_to_be_fitt-a-33_1505428026027-300x200.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/43FF435000000578-4886026-The_North_also_claims_its_new_warhead_is_small_enough_to_be_fitt-a-33_1505428026027-300x200.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/43FF435000000578-4886026-The_North_also_claims_its_new_warhead_is_small_enough_to_be_fitt-a-33_1505428026027.jpg 634w" width="452" /></a></p><p>North Korea has nuclear weapons. We know this to be a fact. However, the question is: How did this country, which is dirt poor and whose military is comprised of starving people with last century's weapons and technology, get modern nuclear power? Clearly it had to have been given to them, and as we have clearly pointed out on Shoebat.com, it was none other than the USA and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld working with American businessmen who sold and set up North Korea's Nuclear Program:</p><blockquote><p>North Korea is in no position to attack anybody. Their ruler is a petty man who for all purposes seems to view North Korea as his personal playground, and for most of his life he was more concerned with indulging himself in childish fantasies. Yes, he has nuclear weapons, but former <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2003/may/09/nuclear.northkorea">American Defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld himself was involved in the transaction</a>. This was no accident, just like how the rise of the Taliban and ISIS were no accident either. These things were done with the purpose of manufacturing a specific outcome. In the case of North Korea, we are seeing that with the anti-Russian and anti-Chinese statements coming out of the Trump administration, the purpose is clear, that “North Korean aggression” might be used as a flashpoint to trigger a war against the Chinese and even more importantly as far at the US is concerned, against the Russians.

It was an American gift to them from Donald Rumsfeld, the same man who was part of the Bush administration that named North Korea as part of the "axis of evil." They make nuclear bombs because the USA gave them the ability to do so and helped them to make these weapons.</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/800px-Rumsfeld1.jpg"><img alt="" class="size-medium wp-image-113964 aligncenter" height="300" sizes="(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/800px-Rumsfeld1-240x300.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/800px-Rumsfeld1-240x300.jpg 240w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/800px-Rumsfeld1-768x960.jpg 768w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/800px-Rumsfeld1.jpg 800w" width="240" /></a></p><p>Donald Rumsfeld, former Defense Secretary who sold North Korea its nuclear program.</p><p>All this talk about how "evil North Korea" got nuclear weapons was because the USA gave them the means to.

This is reflected in recent statements by Donald Trump in regards to fears about North Korea. Donald Trump, who is very likely to be the next president of the United States, has suggested that Japan be allowed to have nuclear weapons in order to keep the North Koreans in check. The United States, according to an agreement made with Japan, is suppose to be the aid of Japan in the case of any military conflict that would put the Japanese in danger. Donald Trump does not want to follow the initial plan, but rather it appears that he will allow Japan to fight out any conflicts on its own.

It is a fact that people do not like to discuss, but it was Turkey who provided major financial support to Luther's Protestant Revolution and later to Protestant mercenaries waging war against the Catholic Church. The support was so great that it became known as a phenomenon called "Turco-Calvinism." It was Calvinist Protestants who helped the Turks take over Hungary and well as who fought AGAINST the Christians and for the Muslims. Turkey and Germany remained allies through the First and Second World War.

The US knows this as does China, Russia, and certainly North Korea.</p><p>North Korea knows full well that it cannot defend itself against a foreign army. It does not matter if it is the Russians, Chinese, or Americans- he is the leader of a sick and sad nation that is already collapsed and waiting to be overrun. China has already said that if Kim attacked China they would invade, and Russia would back her. North Korea would not attack the USA because while he may be crazy, he is not about to give up his power, and any attack on ANY American military installation would be used automatically as a <em>causus belli</em> by the USA- one only needs to look at the absolute lying and fabrications the Americans did to invade Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, and were trying to do with Iran using false "color revolutions" and fake attacks, including the fact as we have repeatedly pointed out that ISIS was fully funded and trained by the USA with Israeli and Saudi help.</p><p>Notice that we have not done the same with North Korea yet as with these countries. Why? There are three possible explanations.</p><p>First is that North Korea is actually conducting tests and making displays of force towards Japan on its own. This is entirely possible. However, as noted above, it is all talk because any attack- even if a waste chunk of metal from a missile explosion lands on Japanese or Korean soil- it will be used as a reason to start a war. As mentioned above, this would be suicide for Kim.</p><p>Second, North Korea is being paid to conduct tests and making displays of force towards Japan because the Chinese and the Russians are compelling them to do so. This is highly unlikely because as with above, any even slight attack on Japan, if it could be proven came from Chinese or Russian influence, would be an immediate cause for war, and as we have mentioned, neither China nor Russia want a war with the Americans or especially their historical nemesis of Japan.</p><p>Third, is that North Korea is being paid to conduct tests and make display of force towards Japan because the Americans and even possibly the Japanese are compelling them to do so.</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/how-former-basketball-star-dennis-rodman-became-one-of-the-few-americans-welcome-in-kim-jong-uns-north-korea.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-113968" height="150" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/how-former-basketball-star-dennis-rodman-became-one-of-the-few-americans-welcome-in-kim-jong-uns-north-korea-300x150.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/how-former-basketball-star-dennis-rodman-became-one-of-the-few-americans-welcome-in-kim-jong-uns-north-korea-300x150.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/how-former-basketball-star-dennis-rodman-became-one-of-the-few-americans-welcome-in-kim-jong-uns-north-korea-768x384.jpg 768w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/how-former-basketball-star-dennis-rodman-became-one-of-the-few-americans-welcome-in-kim-jong-uns-north-korea-1024x512.jpg 1024w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/how-former-basketball-star-dennis-rodman-became-one-of-the-few-americans-welcome-in-kim-jong-uns-north-korea.jpg 1190w" width="300" /></a></p><p>Think about a scenario like this. The Americans go to North Korea. They give Kim a huge amount of money, promise him all of the dress-up anime prostitutes and unlimited visits with Dennis Rodman that he wants. They tell him that he can keep his power. They even help him with his nuclear program and tell him "fire a nuclear weapon over here- we will watch and make sure it does not hit anything."</p><p>The effect of this would be exactly what we see happening with Germany and Turkey. Germany and Turkey's public spat is just a farce meant to justify remilitarization, and it would not be any surprise that North Korea and America/Japan's spat is also a farce meant to push for the remilitarization of Japan as part of the Turco-Aryan alliance, which the USA is directly helping in the formation of.</p><p>Again, one can only speculate, but given the fact that the USA created North Korea's nuclear program, that he is firing missiles and we have not invaded him but instead there is being made a push for the rearmament of Japan makes this entire situation highly suspicious. As mentioned, if North Korea were to attack a US base, they would be immediately invaded and destroyed by the USA. Why not simply then maintain the "threat" of a North Korean attack and just use the fear generated from it to empower Japan?</p><p>North Korea is a toothless tiger, a joke of a nation run by a joke of a leader. But Japan is no joke. If Japan remilitarizes, which she is actively working towards doing right now, then it will just be another step towards a third world war and all of the horrors that came with it.</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/russian-woman-prisoner-at-japanese-invasion-army-unit-731-she-died-during-the-test-of-the-ceramic-bomb-exposures-effect-on-a-human-body-600x427.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-113969" height="214" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/russian-woman-prisoner-at-japanese-invasion-army-unit-731-she-died-during-the-test-of-the-ceramic-bomb-exposures-effect-on-a-human-body-600x427-300x214.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/russian-woman-prisoner-at-japanese-invasion-army-unit-731-she-died-during-the-test-of-the-ceramic-bomb-exposures-effect-on-a-human-body-600x427-300x214.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/russian-woman-prisoner-at-japanese-invasion-army-unit-731-she-died-during-the-test-of-the-ceramic-bomb-exposures-effect-on-a-human-body-600x427.jpg 600w" width="300" /></a></p><p>A Russian woman taken captive and experimented upon by Japanese war criminals during World War II.

France Just Gave Seven Hundred Kilograms Of Plutonium To Japan, Enough To Make One Hundred Nuclear Bombs. Nuclear War Is Coming

<p><strong>Theodore Shoebat</strong></p><p>Seven hundred kilograms of plutonium travelled from France to Japan, enough to make one hundred nuclear bombs. Its only sign of future nuclear conflict. One <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.atimes.com/article/japans-plutonium-proliferation-energy/">report states</a>:</p><blockquote><p>On Thursday, a shipment of 700 kilograms of plutonium arrived in Japan after a journey by sea from the French port of Cherbourg. That’s enough material for more than 100 nuclear weapons.</p><p>The plutonium – in the form of atomic fuel known as MOX, a mix of uranium and plutonium oxide – is for use in the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2017/05/17/national/kepco-restarts-takahama-no-4-reactor-amid-anti-nuclear-protest/#.WVxm1mT1_1I">Takahama-4 </a>reactor, owned by Kansai Electric Power Co. and located on Wakasa Bay, in western Japan near Osaka.</p><p>There have been six shipments of such highly toxic cargoes since 1999, the result of an agreement to send radioactive spent fuel in Japan for reprocessing in France and the UK, and then to be shipped back as plutonium MOX fuel for use in Japan’s reactors.</p><p>Putting aside the reactor fuel issue for the moment, Japan’s plutonium program must be seen in the context of the nuclear arms proliferation dynamic that has existed for decades in Northeast Asia, but which today has taken on even greater urgency owing to North Korea’s nuclear weapon program.</p><p>There is no question that Japan has the technical capability to build an advanced nuclear weapons arsenal.</p><p>There have been over the decades multiple references to it taking less than six months for Japan to build an atomic weapon – a credible timeframe if it’s true as reported more 20 years ago that a design or designs already exist in the country.</p><p>However, to build a ‘credible’ arsenal of weapons would require several years at least.</p><p>More important than any actual timeframe are the external factors that would lead a Japanese government to move to nuclear weaponization.</p><p>This debate is stirring in Japan. In a TV Asahi program on September 6, former Defense Minister Shigeru Ishiba suggested a review was needed of Japan’s so-called three non-nuclear principles: Not producing, possessing, or allowing nuclear weapons into Japan.</p><p>Ishiba asked the question if Japan is under the US nuclear umbrella then isn’t it necessary to allow US nuclear weapons into the country to deter threats from North Korea?</p><p>It’s clear that without a peaceful resolution to the underlying security threats in the region, there is an increasing possibility that policy makers in Tokyo – backed by Washington – will decide that Japan should weaponize its plutonium stockpile.</p><p>We have not reached that point yet, but without a fundamental change in thinking and policy, Japan’s nuclear bomb in the basement may not remain there for very much longer.</p></blockquote><p><strong>War is nigh. The world is racing towards Armageddon. Right before our eyes we are seeing the beginning stages of the start of a major world war. Arms races, nationalism and militarism are growing with more intensity every year. Hungary and Germany are supporting the restoration of militarism, reminding us of the German Hungarian alliance in the First World War. Turkey is being given more and more power in the Middle East, reminding us of the Ottoman Empire which has been an ally of Germany since 1871, and joined Germany in its war of imperialism and racial domination in the First World War. This is all a sign that another great war between the major powers of the earth is looming. </strong></p><p>But the world has been distracted with other things. From 2014 to 2015, everybody was focusing on ISIS and Christian persecution. But this died out in late 2016, especially with the victory of the Trump campaign.</p><p>The media has not been giving the same amount of coverage that it used to on the war in Syria. The world has been practically ignoring Syria. Headlines are now popping up about how the Syrian government just retook Deir-ez-zor from Islamic terrorists, and now the only area under the control of Islamic jihadists is the Idlib province. There is much talk about how all of this is a sign that the US is failing in its regime change objective in Syria.</p><p>Why is Syria no longer such a huge headline? I remember how in the years of 2014 and 2015, ISIS, Syria and Iraq were extremely popular topics. By the middle of 2016, we began to see the subjects of ISIS, Syria and Iraq, waning. By the end of 2016, the story of ISIS and Christian persecution in the Middle East was on life support, and people turned their eyes from it only to gaze up with all their attention towards the victory of Donald Trump. By 2017, interest in the subject of the situation in the Middle East, fell into a coma. It did not die out, it still remained alive, with only a few people here and there giving their regards.</p><p>What happened? Did all of the horrible things happening in Syria and Iraq suddenly stop? No, its just that the media'a attention on the situation has shifted. People's interest are determined by the media. The ones who control the media know this, and so they have been distracting their attention to other matters. So what is taking place underneath the headlines?</p><p>The reason why, I believe, they are not focusing so much on Syria and Iraq anymore, is because the US and NATO are now giving power to Turkey to control the region. As the Daily Beast <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/as-syria-rebels-learn-from-media-the-cia-cut-them-off-al-qaeda-goes-on-the-offensive">wrote</a> a number of months ago:</p><blockquote><p>One Syrian opposition news agency reported an unnamed rebel commander saying that U.S. support will continue for a few months and then move to a new mechanism. The commander added that the U.S. is pressuring rebels to unify under a joint military command before resuming support. There is also the possibility that Turkey and Qatar would fill the breach.</p></blockquote><div><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.trtworld.com/middle-east/russia-stops-turkey-in-its-path-as-it-plans-possible-ypg-attack-10330">There is a new army</a> of Islamic terrorists in Syria, and it was created with the help of Turkey, It consists of 50,000 fighters, and their base is in Gaziantep, Turkey. Not only is this army receiving support from Turkey, but from Saudi Arabia and Qatar as well. The army is also composed of a jihadist battalion called Ahrar al Sham, which is considered to be a terrorist organization by Russia.</div><div></div><div>This huge force of 50,000 men did not happen by accident, and it is quite obvious that NATO is behind it, given the fact that the US and its allies have been so involved in training and arming terrorist rebels. NATO has been arming and supporting Turkey since the late 40s, and if we are going to discuss this reality its important to know the ideology behind it. One cannot comprehend the magnitude of the destiny of mankind heading towards Armageddon, until one reads the history of the ideologies that interconnect together and manifest in the fullness of the diabolical conspiracy of the Antichrist.</div><p>A very dangerous and popular ideology that we will see continue to rise is pan-Turkism, or the belief that the Turkic race is the superior race, and that all of the Turkic races, from parts of China (the Uighurs), to Central Asia (Kazakstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, etc) and Turkey (really biblically Gog and Magog), must unite together. During the Second World War, Pan-Turkish activists in Turkey openly supported Hitler and the Nazis. In 1942, the Pan-Turkish nationalists sent soldiers into the Caucasian border, where Russia and Turkey meet, to support the Nazis against the Soviet Union.</p><p>In 1991, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Turkish nationalists believed that it was their time to rise up, and Pan-Turkish organizations believed in establishing a Turkish ethno-state in Azerbaijan, which is interesting given the fact that this was one of the central territories of the Seljukian Turks, the founders of the first Turkish empire.</p><p>After the Second World War, the Americans were, supposedly, very worried about the Soviet Union expanding into Europe. They saw Turkey as a great defense against the Soviets, because Turkey is geographically the closest NATO nation to Moscow, while at the same time it is right within the same region of the oil countries of the Middle East. The US became fixated on embedding Turkey into the anti-Soviet bloc, and so it became a central nation of NATO's <em>Gladio</em> program, which was a series of operations done by the CIA and other Western European secret service agencies, in which they commissioned Nazi leaders of the Third Reich to recruit neo-Nazis and pan-Europeanists to commit terrorist attacks. The plan was to then blame the attacks on far-Left terrorists with the objective of stirring nationalist sentiment against the Soviet Union. (I have written extensively on Operation Gladio and how it is still continuing through major think-tanks and movements like the Counterjihad. You can read about it by clicking <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2017/07/02/how-the-anti-islam-movement-was-created-by-the-cia-and-very-powerful-eugenist-elites-to-advance-nazism-eugenics-paganism-and-genocidal-ideology/">here</a>).</p><p>Turkey right now is the second most armed nation within NATO. Why is this? Because the US armed Turkey to the teeth as part of the Gladio operation, so that Turkey will be able to fight Russia in the future. As Swiss historian Daniele Ganser has written:</p><blockquote><p>"As Turkey furthermore guarded a third of NATO's total borders with Warsaw Pact countries, the Turkish elite became an excellent defense contractor for the United States military industry and recipient of billions in US aid. Armed by the United States during the Cold War, Turkey set up the largest armed forces in Europe, and the second largest in NATO after the United States. In a reckless gamble the United States in 1961 stationed even nuclear missiles in Turkey targeting the Soviet Union." (Ganser, NATO's Secret Armies, ch. 17, p. 225)</p></blockquote><p>Turkey is the second most armed country within NATO because the United States made it that way. It is similar to what the US, under the Trump administration, has been doing, giving more power to Turkey in the Middle East, and also allowing Japan to increase its military capacity, and by encouraging Germany to increase spending on its military. All of this, like Gladio, is being done under a pretext to (so they say) combat Russian expansion. It makes you wonder if Gladio ever ended. The CIA claims that the operation was disbanded in 1990, but that was said only after the Italian prime minister, Giulio Andreotti, became the first politician to expose Gladio before the press.</p><p>When we see what is happening before us, with the US arming neo-Nazis in Ukraine, allowing Japan and Germany to build up their militaries, and giving leeway to Turkish expansion, it makes you wonder if the plan is really combating Russia. From all of this, it appears that the masterplan truly is eugenics, genocide, population control, and the ascending evil of racialist nationalism and world empire. The US is only creating a frankenstein, a frankenstein that it will soon have to fight in the future in which God "will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness." (Ezekiel 28:7) It is only then that the US will unite with Russia, as it did in the past against the Germans in both World Wars.</p><p>When the US was working to use Turkey as a major player for the Gladio operation, the Americans wanted to use the violent pan-Turkist movement to foment anti-Soviet hatred. The American government decided to use a key figure within the racist pan-Turkist circle, Alparslan Türkeş. During the Second World War, Turkes was a Nazi operative who worked as the contact for the German Nazis in Turkey.</p><div id="attachment_113877" style="width: 692px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/alparslan-turkes.jpg"><img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-113877" height="350" sizes="(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/alparslan-turkes.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/alparslan-turkes.jpg 682w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/alparslan-turkes-300x154.jpg 300w" width="682" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Alparslan Türkeş</p></div><p>Turkes was convinced of the Darwinist and eugenist race theories of the Nazis, and in his speeches he would quote from Hitler's <em>Mein Kampf.</em> When we speak of fascism, we usually think of Benito Mussolini emulating Hitler. But what we rarely talk about are the Muslim Turkish nationalists who also emulated Hitler. Look no further than to Nihal Atsiz. Around the same time as Turkes, there was another Turkish nationalist leader by the name of <span class="irc_pt" dir="ltr">Nihal</span><span class="irc_pt" dir="ltr"> Atsı</span><span class="irc_pt" dir="ltr">z, who obsessed over Hitler so much that he, like the Alt-Right fanatics of our time, wanted to look like him.

One CIA document from 1949 said that Turkey is an "extremely favourable territory for the establishment of both guerrilla units and Secret Army Reserves. Politically the Turks are strongly nationalistic and anti-Communistic, and the presence of the Red Army in Turks will cause national feeling to run high." Turkes was no small deal. He became the main contact for the CIA in their Gladio operation. As the CIA trained the Taliban against the Soviets, so the US would do the same with these Turkish racists. In 1948, Turkes made contacts with the CIA, and, it is said, upon being given orders by the CIA, he began to set up a nationalist paramilitary group in Turkey.</p><p>Turkes traveled to the United States where he made connections with people from both the Pentagon and the CIA. From 1955 to 1958, Turkes worked within Washington as part of NATO's mission in Turkey. By 1952, Turkes had already established a paramilitary organization called <em>Seferberlik Taktik Kurulu, </em>or <em>Tactical Location Mobilization Group</em>. The base for this paramilitary entity was the CIA building, American Yardim Heyeti, or the American Aid Delegation, located in the Bahceliever district of the Turkish capital of Ankara. In 1965, the Tactical Mobilization group was restructured and given a new name, <em>Special Warfare Department</em>.</p><p>These squads would be used to conduct false flag attacks to spark nationalism in Turkey. For example, in 1955, Turkish agents threw a bomb into the Mustafa Kemal Museum in Thessalloniki in Greece. The bomb exploded and became a popular headline. The Turkish government and press then blamed the attack on Greeks. Racist hatred erupted, and Turkish nationalists then used the story to justify going on a killing craze and a rape spree. On September 6th and 7th, 1955, in the cities of Istanbul and Izmir, Turkish nationalist gangs destroyed hundreds of Greek homes, murdered sixteen Greeks and raped 200 Greek women. Priests were also scalped and burnt in their beds. According to a <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istanbul_pogrom#cite_note-Congress1956-42">report</a> made by the United States Congress:</p><blockquote><p> <q>Greek priests were reported circumcised, scalped, burned In bed; Greek women raped. ... Just 9 out of 80 Greek Orthodox churches In Istanbul were left undesecrated; 28 were demolished. </q></p></blockquote><p>Here are photos of the mob and its violence:</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/futuristika_6-7-eylül_185.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-113878" height="503" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/futuristika_6-7-eylül_185.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/futuristika_6-7-eylül_185.jpg 800w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/futuristika_6-7-eylül_185-300x189.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/futuristika_6-7-eylül_185-768x483.jpg 768w" width="800" /></a> <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/0000286236.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-113879" height="513" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/0000286236.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/0000286236.jpg 800w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/0000286236-300x192.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/0000286236-768x492.jpg 768w" width="800" /></a> <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/utan-4.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-113880" height="517" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/utan-4.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/utan-4.jpg 800w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/utan-4-300x194.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/utan-4-768x496.jpg 768w" width="800" /></a></p><p>In 1965, Turkes founded the extreme right <em>National Action Party</em> (Millietci Hareket Partisi).

But while the headlines distract you with this idea, German officials are meeting with the Turkish military as part of NATO policy in the Middle East. There is a <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/news_146773.htm">report</a> from NATO that just came out last night that speaks of how NATO, specifically Germany, is providing support to Turkey in Syria and Iraq:-</p><blockquote><p>“<em>I am pleased to have led this useful visit to Konya</em>,” the Deputy Secretary General said. “<em>NATO AWACS aircraft are playing a vital role in support of Turkey and the Coalition to Defeat ISIS. It has been a privilege to meet the men and women carrying out this important mission</em>,” Ms. Gottemoeller added.</p><p>The delegation comprising German parliamentarians and NATO staff was received at Konya airbase by Turkish diplomatic and military officials and General Dawn Dunlop, Commander of the NATO AWACS fleet. Ms. Gottemoeller and the members of parliament toured the airbase, received operational briefings and met with air crews, including German Air Force staff, stationed there.</p><p>Konya airbase, around 250 kilometres south of Ankara, has served as a forward operating base for NATO AWACS surveillance aircraft since the 1980s in addition to its national role as a Turkish military facility. The base took on added importance to NATO operations due to the turmoil in neighboring Syria and Iraq. <strong>NATO AWACS operating out of Konya conduct patrols in support of Turkey and the Counter-ISIS Coalition</strong>. About 50 NATO military personnel are currently stationed at the base.</p></blockquote><p>All of this talk about Germany and Turkey having a 'strained' relationship, is all good cop/bad cop talk being done as a show to distract people. There is no strained relationship between Germany and Turkey. While headlines keep trying to convey this message that Germany and Turkey are beginning to hate each other, German troops and officials are in Konya Airbase in Turkey. Merkel has said that if she wins in the upcoming election in Germany that she will end the EU accession negotiations for Turkey. Even if this is true, it means nothing. As Turkish political analyst Semih Idiz <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://en.mehrnews.com/news/127622/Turkey-Germany-manage-relation-not-to-break-totally">said</a> recently:</p><blockquote><p>So she is saying, for example that she will try and convince the other members states on Turkey, but has not said that Germany will veto Turkey’s membership negotiations, which Germany has a right to do. France, for example, which is also opposed to Turkey’s membership, has vetoed chapters in the negotiation process that have to do with full membership, and is only allowing chapters which will boost Turkish-EU ties further but with guarantee membership for Ankara.</p></blockquote><p>Since 1871, Germany and Turkey have been allies. When the Protestant Reformation broke out in Germany in the 16th century, it was the Ottoman Empire that made alliances with Protestants throughout Europe in their fight against the Catholic Hapsburg Empire. This religious and political relationship, with such a long history, is not going to end now because Merkel said so. Lets not forget that when Merkel became chancellor in 2010, she said that multiculturalism has 'utterly failed.' She then was pro-diversity in 2014, when Germany and Turkey cooperatively facilitated the refugee situation in Europe. In 2016 she <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-38226081">said</a> that she would back a burka ban in schools, courts and other state buildings. The only reason why she said that was because of the anti-Muslim sentiment that has been rising in Europe due to the migration crises that she helped start. You are seeing the Hegelian dialectic taking place right before your eyes. They create problems and then present themselves as the solution. Its all a game for power. Now we are in 2017, and she is playing as the nationalist who would stop Turkey from joining the EU. Are we really to believe this woman?</p><p>Remember what happened in WW1, Germany, the Ottoman Empire and the Austro-Hungarians were allies against the Americans and the Entente. I believe that in this revival of the Ottoman Empire, we will also witness the rise of Germany and Hungary.</p><p><b>THE COMING HUNGARIAN, TURKO-GERMANIC ALLIANCE </b></p><p>Look at Viktor Orban, the prime minister of Hungary. Since 2014, he and his party, <em>Fidesz, </em>has been adulated by the right wing in both Europe and America because they have expressed themselves so much against accepting migrants, and so much in favor for nationalism and helping persecuted Christians. We at shoebat.com, in the beginning, fell for this trick. In fact, the Hungarian government invited our organization, Rescue Christians, to participate in a meeting on rescuing oppressed Christians. As it turned out, it was all a media front. The Hungarian government wasn't planning on helping anybody, and asked our director Keith Daives to sign a statement that the Hungarian government is helping Christians. Keith refused. We found out about Fidesz's jingoist sentiments. The co-founder of Orban's Fidesz party, Zsolt Bayer<strong>, </strong><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/hungarian-journalist-says-roma-should-not-be-allowed-to-exist-a-876887.html">called</a> for the purging of all gypsies from Hungary "regardless of the means":</p><blockquote><p>"A significant part of the Roma are unfit for coexistence. They are not fit to live among people. These Roma are animals, and they behave like animals. When they meet with resistance, they commit murder. They are incapable of human communication. Inarticulate sounds pour out of their bestial skulls. At the same time, these Gypsies understand how to exploit the 'achievements' of the idiotic Western world. But one must retaliate rather than tolerate. These animals shouldn't be allowed to exist. In no way.

"But," says the typical blog commenter, "Viktor Orban is defending his people from the migrants and wants to keep Hungary for the Hungarians. He is a good nationalist! How dare you go against him!" You may feel this way all you like, it does not change the way things are. Putting our emotionalism aside, the bottom line is that where you have nationalism, you have genocidal ideologies. Viktor Orban, while playing his role as the good nationalist, is totally in favor for a militarist Germany and European Union. Just recently, the president of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, said that Europe can no longer rely on America for protection, and because Great Britain has decided to leave the EU, nations within the European Union must increase their military capacity. That means a militarist Germany, and a massive increase in military manufacturing. Junker said:</p><blockquote><p>"The protection of Europe can no longer be outsourced.

She had a meeting last year in which this issue was discussed, and who agreed with her? It was the darling of the right-wing, Viktor Orban, who <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.rt.com/news/400327-juncker-us-eu-army/">said</a> in the meeting:</div><div></div><blockquote><div>"We should list the issue of security as a priority, and we should start setting up a common European army"</div></blockquote><div></div><div>This is the "right-wing nationalist" for you. From being nationalists, they will make themselves internationalists for their own vision of world empire. So many people got swept away into the deception that good innocent and nationalist Hungary is simply fighting for its people, as if such an ideal exists in present day governments. Apparently, people are ignoring history, ignoring the fact that the US and the Entente had a major world war, the First World War, against Germany, the Ottoman Empire, and the Austro-<strong>Hungarian</strong> Empire. Hungary was on the side of Antichrist in World War One, and we think, because of some superficially accepted perception of nationalism, that this evil has all of a sudden gone away. One thing to remember is that Orban and those like him are pan-Turkists who see a racial and cultural affinity with Turkey and all Turkic nations.</div><div></div><div>In June of 2017, Viktor Orban delivered a <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.miniszterelnok.hu/prime-minister-viktor-orbans-speech-at-the-turkish-hungarian-business-forum/">speech</a> at the Hungarian-Turkish Business Forum in Ankara, to talk about the importance of relations between Hungarian and Turkish industrialists. In his speech, Orban talked about both the racial relations and the need for deeper economic ties between Turkey and Hungary:</div><div></div><blockquote><div> Turkey is in a good location, and although there are now wars on its borders, strategically it is in one of the world’s most important locations. It has an enormous private sector. Why should it pay any attention to the Hungarians – aside from friendship and the intellectually intriguing question of <strong>common origins lost in the mists of ancient history</strong>? Why should any member of its business community divert their gaze to Hungary? I believe that there is one fact which even the most successful Turkish businesspeople would be wise to consider: Hungary is a country of ten million, and we are capable of generating exports worth 110 billion dollars; meanwhile Turkey is a country of eighty million, which is capable of generating exports worth 145 billion dollars.</div></blockquote><div><div id="attachment_113884" style="width: 628px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Victor-orban.jpg"><img alt="" class=" wp-image-113884" height="430" sizes="(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Victor-orban-1024x713.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Victor-orban-1024x713.jpg 1024w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Victor-orban-300x209.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Victor-orban-768x534.jpg 768w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Victor-orban.jpg 1200w" width="618" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Viktor Orban</p></div><p> </p></div><div>Later in the speech Orban again brought up a common racial origin between Hungarians and Turks:</div><div><blockquote><p>To sum up, <strong>we have the legend of common Turkish-Hungarian origins</strong>. We have mutual respect. We have an outstanding political and personal relationship between the leaders of the two countries. We have an enormous Turkey and a strengthening Central Europe. And we have a Hungarian investment and business environment without rival in Europe.</p></blockquote></div><div><p>Most in the West do not know that the Hungarians are a Turkic people, and the nationalists have a grandiose and delusional pride about being Turkic and related to the peoples of Central Asia. Each year in Hungary, there is the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.voxeurop.eu/en/content/article/2531811-viktor-orban-seeks-salvation-asia">Kurultáj</a> event, a festival where Hungarians, alongside various tribes and Turkic peoples, get together to celebrate their Turkic roots. In 2012, Vice-chairman for Orban's Fidesz party, Sándor Leszák, welcomed tribal leaders in the National Assembly, and the Hungarian government, which was also dominated by Fidesz, funded the event with 70 million forints (about a quarter of a million US dollars).</p><p>Over a whopping quarter of a million people visited the town of Bugac to attend the Kurultaj event, celebrating the Turkish race. What makes this even more interesting is that the first Kurultáj did not take place in Hungary, but in Kazakstan, in 2007. Kazakstan is a Turkic country, and for Hungary to hold their first meeting celebrating 'Turkishness' in Kazakstan, reflects the Turanian ideology that Orban and the rest of the Hungarian nationalists follow.</p><p>The 2012 event included pagan rituals akin to Native Indian rites, with worship of a crescent moon idol:</p><p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kz_SvOCxtV0?start=510" width="660" height="440" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" data-mce-fragment="1"></iframe></p></div><div></div><div>Orban and his ilk subscribe to the racial ideology of Turanism, or the belief in the superiority of the Turkic races. In 2012, Orban <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://hungarianspectrum.org/2012/07/27/hungarian-business-leade-criticizes-viktor-orbans-economic-policy/">described</a> Hungary as "half-Asian" and stated that Hungarians are the type of people who will unite together only by force:</div><div></div><blockquote><div>“Cooperation is a question of force, not of intention. Perhaps there are countries where things don’t work that way, for example in the Scandinavian countries, but such a half-Asiatic rag-tag people as we are can unite only if there is force.”</div></blockquote><div></div><div>Orban has even stated that the Hungarians also have a racial and cultural relation with Japan. In a talk that he gave in the Suzuki building, he <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Chris_Moreh/publication/265865477_The_Asianization_of_national_fantasies_in_Hungary_A_critical_analysis_of_political_discourse/links/54f9be990cf25371374ff7df/The-Asianization-of-national-fantasies-in-Hungary-A-critical-analysis-of-political-discourse.pdf">said</a>:</div><div></div><blockquote><div>"Our clothes are slightly dingy, we are a little more disorganized, we have let ourselves go a bit in the past eight years, there are signs of decadence here and there, but we believed in the values on which your world is built, in honour, in diligence, in responsibility and in respect, and we can prove it. We, as members of the European Union, sail under western flag, but as you also know, we are an eastern nation, and for us, just as for you, the principal commandment is that every agreement has to be kept."</div></blockquote><div><div>In 2012, in the National Economy of Hungary, Minister György Matolcsy, expressed this belief even further, stating:</div><div></div><blockquote><div>We are proud of having come from Asia. On the bottom of our infants, in about 30 out of 100 cases, for six weeks there is a small red dot, just like in the case of Japanese babies. I have been told about this by Japanese scientists, I didn’t know before.[…] My point in mentioning this is just that sometimes others know more about us than we do. While talking with Chinese delegations many times a week, they all begin their talks saying that, well yes, between us there is some deep, deep, deep… maybe even kinship.</div></blockquote><div>This interconnects with the pan-Asianism of Turkey; for the Young Turks declared Turkey to be the “Japan of the Near East” (I wrote an article on pan-Asianism which can be read <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2017/08/15/japan-is-now-building-a-nuclear-power-plant-for-turkey-this-will-lead-to-turkey-owning-nuclear-weapons-and-the-worst-mass-genocide-of-christians/">here</a>).</div><div></div><div><strong>ARMS RACES AND VISION 2023 </strong></div><div></div><div>What was one of the significant situations happening prior to the First World War? Arms races between the major European powers. From 1905 to 1906, and in 1911, Great Britain and France held secret talks on how they would deal with a war with Germany. From 1908 to 1909, Germany and Austro-Hungary also held talks on how they would conduct a war against Russia. In 1912, Helmuth von Moltke, chief of Germany's general staff, wrote a memorandum addressed to the civilian Chancellor in which he said: "All sides are preparing for European War, which all sides expect sooner or later."</div></div><div></div><div>In May of 1914, just months before the outbreak of World War One on July 28th, 1914, Great Britain and Russia conducted a naval meeting. The Germans were supposedly terrified when they found out. Now, in our own time, we are seeing the same pattern. We are currently witnessing the beginning stages of a major arms race taking place in Europe and Asia. Ask yourself, why is Great Britain currently manufacturing naval ships at an unusual intensity? Lets look at a number of very recent news pieces. One <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.yourshipbuildingnews.com/ambitious+future+for+naval+shipbuilding+in+the+uk_144926.html">ship news site says</a>:</div><div></div><blockquote><div><p>Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon has unveiled an ambitious new National Shipbuilding Strategy which meets the challenge set by Sir John Parker last November and sets out plans for the first batch of Type 31e frigates.</p><p>Sir John Parker’s independent report into British naval shipbuilding proposed far-reaching recommendations to transform the UK maritime industry and boost the prosperity of regions, shipyards and maritime supply chains across the country.</p><p>Today’s Strategy sees the Government accept Sir John’s recommendations and step up to what he called a prospective ‘renaissance’ in British shipbuilding. Building on the Government’s industrial strategy, it outlines an ambition to transform the procurement of naval ships, make the UK’s maritime industry more competitive, grow the Royal Navy fleet by the 2030s, export British ships overseas, and boost innovation, skills, jobs, and productivity across the UK.</p><p>It announces the government’s plan to procure new Type 31e General Purpose Frigates. A price cap has been set of no more than £250M each for the first batch of five frigates. In line with standing UK policy on warships they will be built in the UK. They could be built in a way which could see them shared between yards and assembled at a central hub. <strong>The first ships are set to be in service by 2023.</strong> Shipyards will be encouraged to work with global partners to ensure the vessel is competitive on the export market.</p></div></blockquote><div><blockquote><p>Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon said:</p></blockquote></div><div><blockquote><p>“This new approach will lead to more cutting-edge ships for the growing Royal Navy that will be designed to maximise exports and be attractive to navies around the world.</p><p>“Backed up by a commitment to spend billions on new ships, our plan will help boost jobs, skills, and growth in shipyards and the supply chain across the UK.”</p></blockquote></div><blockquote><div><p>The Strategy sets out the government’s commitment to work with industry to reinvigorate and maximise export success.  The Type 31e will be designed to meet the needs of the Royal Navy and with the export market in mind from the beginning. This could see industry’s customer become not only the Royal Navy but for the navies of Britain’s allies and partners.</p></div></blockquote><div><blockquote><p>The MOD is committed to new ships for the Royal Navy through its rising budget and £178bn equipment plan. In July, at BAE’s Govan shipyard, the Defence Secretary cut steel for the first of eight Type 26 frigates, HMS Glasgow. The £3.7 billion contract for the first three, the largest for naval ships this decade, will secure hundreds of high skilled jobs on the Clyde until 2035 and hundreds more in the supply chain across the UK.</p></blockquote><p>Notice what it says: "<strong>The first ships are set to be in service by 2023." </strong>This is the same date that Turkey to be a major world power, in its plan which it called the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_vision#Foreign_policy"><em>2023 Vision</em></a>. Britain's plan to use its new battle ships coincides with Turkey's vision of empire. This is not a coincidence, and corresponds with the reality of the approaching third world war.</p></div><div><p> Great Britain recently produced two new aircraft carriers, as we read in a <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.itv.com/news/meridian/update/2017-09-08/i-name-this-ship-the-prince-of-wales/">report</a> released yesterday:</p><blockquote><p>The first of the Royal Navy's giant new aircraft carriers HMS Queen Elizabeth arrived in Portsmouth last month.</p><p>And the second - HMS Prince of Wales was officially named by the Duchess of Cornwall at a ceremony in Scotland.</p><p>She's due to arrive in Portsmouth within the next couple of years.

War is nigh. Its just like what took place prior to World War One; Winston Churchill and a small number of British officials knew that war was coming, but their knowledge was kept within their own circle, outside of the general populace.</p><p>The masses were shocked when war finally broke out in 1914. People did not think that a world war would take place, because they believed the lies that politicians made, that everything was peaceful. We marvelled at ourselves on account of our own innovation in technology. When the world erupted in blood shed, and men entered that long and dark fray in the trenches, the American novelist, Henry James, wrote of how deceived people once were, thinking that peace would be continuous:</p></div><blockquote><p>"The plunge of civilization into this abyss gives away the whole long age during which we have supposed the world to be ... is a thing that so gives away the whole long age during which we have supposed the world to be, with whatever abatement, gradually bettering, that to have to take it all now for what the treacherous years were all the while really making for and <em>meaning</em> is too tragic for any words." (See Fromkin, <em>Europe's Last Summer</em>, ch. 4)</p></blockquote><div>We, too, are looking upon ourselves with awe at our own technological innovations. But, Silicon Valley, the major center of technology, is also one of the centers of the world for advancing eugenics (as we have shown, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2017/07/30/for-the-first-time-in-american-history-scientists-are-editing-the-genetics-of-human-embryos-and-then-slaughtering-the-unborn-babies-this-is-only-going-to-lead-to-the-era-of-the-antichrist-and-the-ma/">here</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2017/04/11/incredible-research-exposed-secret-us-documents-reveal-how-the-united-states-government-is-designing-the-plan-that-is-moving-the-world-towards-armageddon/">here </a> and <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2017/07/02/how-the-anti-islam-movement-was-created-by-the-cia-and-very-powerful-eugenist-elites-to-advance-nazism-eugenics-paganism-and-genocidal-ideology/">here</a>), as we can see with its industrialists, like Peter Thiel, Benjamin Horowitz, and Ron Unz. So today, we have the worship of innovation, alongside a widespread delusion that a world war will not happen again, and just like in the past, we are witnessing the beginning of an arms race between the major powers of the world. Its all a sign that war is to come.</div><div></div><div>I would like to end with this: Remember the film, <em>Saving Private Ryan</em>? It is truly a masterpiece of a film, the best war movie to have ever been done. But how many Americans even know that the original story of Tom Hank's character was of a Catholic priest named Fr. Francis L. Sampson, a regimental chaplain with the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division. He was commissioned by military authorities to find Fritz Niland, the real-life “Private Ryan,” who had lost his three brothers on D-Day.</div><div></div><div>Fr. Sampson fought in the Battle of Normandy Beach, of which he recounted: “no pair of knees shook more than my own, nor any heart ever beat faster in times of danger.” He landed on Normandy beach by parachute. He lost his Mass Kitt and intensely searched for it until he could find it, which was extremely difficult with all of the gun fire coming from the Nazi enemies.</div><div>Days later, Fr. Sampson entered a church where some nurses were. The church had been devastated by bombs, and only two walls remained. But, there was beheld two images: one of St. Paul, the other of St. Peter. And a crucifix also remained intact. In this church, Fr. Sampson gave a homily, the words with which I will end this article:</div><div></div><blockquote><div><p>The image of the naked Galilean hanging from the cross has always inspired great love and fierce hate. Nero sought to make the cross a hateful image by putting Christians to death upon it, pouring pitch upon them, and lighting Rome with these flaming human crosses. Julian the Apostate said that he would make the world forget the Man on the cross, but in his final agony he had to acknowledge, “Thou has conquered, Galilean.” Communists forbid its presence because they fear its power against their evil designs. Hitler has tried to replace the image of our Blessed Lord on the cross with a stupid swastika. Invectives, false philosophies, violence, and every diabolical scheme have been used to tear the Christ from the cross and the crucifix from the church. Nevertheless, like the bombs that were dropped on this chapel, they have only succeeded in making the cross stand out more and more in bold relief. The image we love grows greater in our understanding because of the vehemence of the hate it occasions in wicked men. Each of us has that sacred image stamped upon his soul. Like the chapel, we are Temples of God. And no matter how we are torn by the bombs of tragedy and trial and assault from without, the image of the crucified remains if we want it to. Now at the foot of this cross let us renew our baptismal vows. Let us promise to shield forever His image in our hearts.</p></div></blockquote><div><div id="bodyContent" class="mw-body-content">

Shinzo Abe, The Prime Minister Of Japan, Wants War With North Korea, And Declares That The Days Of Dialogue With North Korea Are Over

<p>Shinzo, the Prime Minister of Japan, just said that the days of dialogue with North Korea are over. Translation? Japan wants war. And its not just about North Korea, its about using the situation of North Korea as a pretext for reviving Japanese militarism. According to <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/japanese-pm-shinzo-abe-says-time-for-north-korea-dialogue-is-over">one report</a>:</p><blockquote><p>Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Wednesday (Sept 20) declared the time for dialogue with North Korea is over and rallied behind a US warning that "all options" are on the table.</p><p>Addressing the UN General Assembly, Abe said "there is not much time left" to take action on North Korea which in recent weeks has detonated another nuclear bomb and fired a series of missiles over or near Japan.</p><p>A day after <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.straitstimes.com/world/united-states/donald-trump-raises-eyebrows-with-tough-talk-threat-to-destroy-north-korea">US President Donald Trump threatened to "totally destroy" North Korea if it attacks</a>, Abe said: "We consistently support the stance of the United States: that 'all options are on the table.'"</p><p>Abe said that the world has already tried exhaustively to reach a negotiated settlement with North Korea, starting with the US-backed 1994 Agreed Framework which collapsed a decade later.</p><p>"Again and again, attempts to resolve issues through dialogue have all come to naught. In what hope of success are we now repeating the very same failure a third time?" he said.</p><p>"What is needed to do that is not dialogue, but pressure," he said.</p><p>He voiced alarm at North Korea's military progress, which he said had brought the regime to the threshold of mastering hydrogen bombs and intercontinental ballistic missiles, which would be able to strike the United States.</p><p>Abe demanded the strict implementation of UN sanctions on Kim Jong-Un's regime, the latest round of which includes a ban on the country's textile exports and a freeze on work permits to North Korean guest workers.</p><p>But years of sanctions have had limited effects on North Korea, which follows a "juche" ideology of self-reliance and counts on neighbouring China as its economic lifeline.</p><p>China - which has grown frustrated by Kim's actions but also fears the consequences of his regime's collapse - has repeatedly urged dialogue, with Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Tuesday urging an end to the "current deepening vicious cycle."</p><p>Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven, responding to Trump's bellicose speech, called for dialogue in tandem with implementation of sanctions.</p><p>"There is no military solution because that would be a disaster, not only for North Korea but for South Korea, the whole peninsula, Japan," Lofven told reporters.</p><p>But Abe warned that global credibility was on the line, saying that only North Korea has been "allowed such self-indulgence" in its defiance of the Security Council.</p><p>"North Korea is attempting to dismiss with a smirk the efforts towards disarmament we have assiduously undertaken over the years," Abe said.</p><p>Abe, Japan's longest-serving post-World War II prime minister, rose to political prominence on his calls for a tough line on North Korea over its past abductions of Japanese civilians.</p><p>He has also pressed for a shedding of defense taboos in Japan, whose US-imposed constitution forbids the country from ever again waging war.</p></blockquote><p>Japan using the tensions with North Korea for militarism is the subject of my last video which you can watch here:</p><p><iframe src="http://shoebattube.com/player/embed_player.php?vid=1427&width=660&height=440&autoplay=no" width="660" height="440" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" data-mce-fragment="1"></iframe></p><p> </p><p><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2016/08/04/the-nation-of-japan-will-pledge-allegiance-to-the-antichrist-it-will-become-one-of-the-most-evil-nations-on-earth-and-it-will-build-nuclear-weapons/">I warned on the US accelerating Japanese militarism last year,</a> before Trump won the victory. This is what I wrote:</p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">On account of fears about Russia, China and North Korea, the Americans will break the chains imposed on Japan and thus enable them to revive their military strength. This is reflected in recent statements by Donald Trump in regards to fears about North Korea. Donald Trump, who is very likely to be the next president of the United States, has suggested that Japan be allowed to have nuclear weapons in order to keep the North Koreans in check. The United States, according to an agreement made with Japan, is suppose to be the aid of Japan in the case of any military conflict that would put the Japanese in danger. Donald Trump does not want to follow the initial plan, but rather it appears that he will allow Japan to fight out any conflicts on its own. Donald Trump stated:</span></p><blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">"Unfortunately, we have a nuclear world now… Would I rather have North Korea have [nuclear weapons] with Japan sitting there having them also? You may very well be better off if that's the case. … If they're attacked… we have to come totally to their defense. And that is a — that's a real problem.” </span></p></blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">He also stated: “Here’s the thing with Japan… They have to pay us or we have to let them protect themselves.”</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Both of these statements are quite significant. For one, this plan of isolationism is exactly what the Japanese want, and have wanted for decades. If Trump wins (and it looks like that he will), and his plan for Asia is put forth, it will reset Asia to an environment very much paralleled to how it was before erupting into the Second World War. </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Trump’s plan of having Japan no longer dependent on the US for military support, will give Japan the excuse it needs to rearm and to restrengthen its former martial strength, and to further revive the imperial religion that it once maintained and that enflamed its aggressions towards the rest of East Asia. Secondly, Trump’s plan to push Japan to purchase American vehicles and to pay the US would further be used by the Japanese to prove American hostilities and to justify aggression against the United States.</span></p><p class="p1">Trump’s policy for East Asia would break the barriers that are keeping, by a hair, the former conflicts of the recent past from resuming, the conflicts that lie between Japan, its Asian neighbors, Russia and the United States. For over seventy years, US policy on Japan has worked as a mask, covering up the immense hatred that exists between Japan and its Asian neighbors, specifically China and the Koreas. But with the policies that the US is undertaking, and will be enacting, in regards to Japan, that mask is soon to be removed.</p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">A senior official in the government of Shinzo Abe, the Japanese prime minister, said in regards to Trump’s words: “If what he says actually comes to pass, it’s going to be transforming for Japan. It would be a critical blow.” It truly would be transforming, not because it has to be transforming, but because Japan will use such a policy as a justification for violent and fanatical nationalism. </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Japan has been looking for any excuse to make itself more and more militarily independent from the USA. After ISIS beheaded the two Japanese hostages, Haruna Yukawa and Kenji Goto, Japan’s elites rushed to make the call for military autonomy. Kunihiko Miyake, an adviser for Shinzo Abe, said in an interview:</span></p><blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">“This is 9/11 for Japan … It is time for Japan to stop daydreaming that its good will and noble intentions would be enough to shield it from the dangerous world out there. Americans have faced this harsh reality, the French have faced it, and now we are, too.”</span></p></blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">It was in October of 1958 when Nobusuke Kishe told American television viewers that the time had come for Japan to reject and abandon the pacifist, war-renouncing Article 9 of its constitution. This was the main objective of Kishe, and now Abe, his grandson, sees it has his duty to complete the mission. In the same interview, Kishe admitted that it would take a long time before the Japanese constitution is changed. Now it seems that that time is about to come. Takashi Ito, a Tokyo University emeritus history professor and a prominent expert on Nabosuke Kishi, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/for-japans-shinzo-abe-unfinished-family-business-1418354470">said</a> in regards to the similarities between Abe and Kishe:</span></p><blockquote><p>“A lot of what they say is the same. They both want constitutional revision and they both want rearmament of Japan"</p></blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Kishe was a convicted war criminal whose “crimes pile up to the heavens; he is truly evil,” to use <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/for-japans-shinzo-abe-unfinished-family-business-1418354470">the words</a> of Wang Qingxiang, a researcher of social science at the Jilin Academy of Social Sciences, and one of China’s most prolific writers on Japan’s occupation of Manchuria. Abe continues to strive to emulate his grandfather, both in his policies, and quite prospectively, his imperialism and brutality.</span></p><p class="p1">In 2007, Abe praised his grandfather for pressing “forward no matter how many people were opposed, because his was the only path.” Hence Mr. Abe’s slogan: “This is the only path.” Hiroshige Seko, deputy chief cabinet secretary and a close aide to Mr. Abe, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/for-japans-shinzo-abe-unfinished-family-business-1418354470">explained</a> these words as such:</p><blockquote><p>“It is the expression of the prime minister’s resolve that he will push ahead on the path that he believes in, not just on economic recovery but also in areas like changing national security policy and education reform ...<strong>I think the prime minister wants to be a leader like that in the end</strong>"</p></blockquote><p>Shinzo Abe uses very clever argumentation to justify his agenda of remilitarizing Japan and for military autonomy. He will use the threat of Islamic terrorism, China and North Korea, as the reason as to why the US should give Japan military independence. His grandfather, Kishe, likewise used very similar argumentation to give credence to his objective. In one statement Kishe said that if Japan were to become a "respectable member (of) the community of nations it would first have to revise its constitution and rearm: If Japan is alone in renouncing war ... she will not be able to prevent others from invading her land. If, on the other hand, Japan could defend herself, there would be no further need of keeping United States garrison forces in Japan. ... Japan should be strong enough to defend herself.”</p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Kishe, like the rest of the post-war elites of Japan, considered the US drafted constitution to be simply a tool of American policy, and that the Allied occupation was merely a means by which to neutralize Japanese patriotism. One must say that such an observation is accurate: the constitution and the occupation of Japan were established and conducted to keep Japan in check. But now, current Western policy is enabling Japan to return to its old ways. This is why it is essential to study the men who ruled and influenced Japan before, during and after the Second World War, and observe how they ideologically and politically parallel each other. </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Just like his grandfather Kishe, Shinzo Abe sees the constitution as something of a fetter that needs to be broken; that it was created by the US for the purpose of emasculating the Japanese people. In the year 2000, while he was just a second-term Lower House member of parliament, Abe stated: </span></p><blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">“It is clear to everyone that the Constitution was drawn up under significant compulsion… I think this has had bad effects on the minds of Japanese people …. It is crucially important for us to make a new Constitution by ourselves.”</span></p></blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Shinzo Abe, in striving to accomplish his grandfather’s mission, removed Japan’s self-imposed ban on collective self-defense in July of 2014. Now what is happening in Japan is Japanese politicians in the Diet making national security bills to give this measure substance. You might think, ‘Oh, its just self-defense, there is nothing wrong with that.’ But to think in this way ignores the nature of evil. Evil never immediately reveals  itself completely, but always works in increments. The move to allow Japan collective self-defense will soon be given additions, more freedoms and enabling. One day they will have collective self-defense, and soon it’ll be the right to make preemptive strikes, and ultimately we will see an imperialistic Japan. We will all eventually realize that Japan never changed its true self, but rather covered it; our eyes will be opened to a revived imperialistic nation with its imperial religion, and only then will most of the world realize the evils of Zen Buddhism. </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">The incrementalist strategy of Japan was mentioned in one Japanese report, in which it was <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2015/07/22/national/politics-diplomacy/analyzing-abes-fixation-constitution/#.V09q35MrJUM"><span class="s2">stated</span></a>: </span></p><blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">“Abe seems to believe that the reinterpretation [of the Constitution], which only allows the limited use of collective self-defense, is not enough. Looking ahead, he probably envisions a constitutional amendment to enable the country to conduct collective self-defense without restraint.” </span></p></blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">From one policy Japan will move to a subsequent policy more dangerous. The true evil aspirations and intentions of Japan have been hidden for quite some time, by the US government and Japanese elites. Even in a small amount of time after WW2, the Japanese made it clear to the Americans that they desired to have nuclear weapons. </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Takashi Shinobu, a professor at Nihon University, unearthed documents at the U.S. National Archives in Washington, The documents reveal that on September 9th, 1958, Douglas MacArthur II told state and defense department officials that Nobusuke Kishe “believed it was essential that Japan have (a) nuclear” arsenal, and that the Japanese constitution “did not prohibit Japan from having any kind of weapons,” revealing a sinister desire by the Japanese to obtain nuclear weapons. MacArthur was not disturbed at all by this, but rather he said that Tokyo’s recognition of “the desirability of defensive nuclear weapons is extremely interesting and encouraging.” In a telegraph from June 20th, 1958, MacArthur informed the U.S. Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, that the Japanese Vice Foreign Minister, Hisanari Yamada, that Foreign Ministry officials discussed whether or not Japan should examine and agree on a decision on obtaining nuclear weapons.</span></p><div id="attachment_102252" style="width: 696px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/HITH-10-things-you-may-not-know-about-douglas-macarthur-3227244-E.jpeg"><img alt="General Douglas MacArthur " class="size-full wp-image-102252" height="385" sizes="(max-width: 686px) 100vw, 686px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/HITH-10-things-you-may-not-know-about-douglas-macarthur-3227244-E.jpeg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/HITH-10-things-you-may-not-know-about-douglas-macarthur-3227244-E.jpeg 686w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/HITH-10-things-you-may-not-know-about-douglas-macarthur-3227244-E-300x168.jpeg 300w" width="686" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">General Douglas MacArthur</p></div><p> </p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">The reason why the US was not trepidatious over Japan obtaining nuclear weapons was because the Americans believed that a nuclear Japan could deter Russia through the possession of nukes. Japanese ministry officials even talked about the utilization of nuclear warheads designed to fire from the ground to the air, in order to deter the Russians from entering Japanese airspace. In light of this, Yamada told MacArthur that the ministry officials believed that it did “not make too much sense for Japan not to have modern defensive weapons — including nuclear weapons — when potential aggressors were armed with (such) weapons.” President Eisenhower was relatively tolerant about Japan owning nuclear weapons, and there wasn’t any international laws prohibiting Japan from doing so. </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">What made the Japanese hesitant about going through with the nuclear plan was the remembrance of what happened to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In the same telegram, MacArthur stated that Yamada told him that the atomic bombings of the two cities “raised obvious and serious emotional and psychological problems in terms of Japanese public opinion, and perhaps opinion had not evolved to point where there could be any change in present Japanese policy.” MacArthur was not opposed to Japan having nuclear weapons in its possession, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.apple.com"><span class="s2">but he did</span></a> suggest in a telegram addressed to secretary of state John Foster Dulles, that the biggest hinderance to this reality was public opinion in Japan.</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Nonetheless, what MacArthur revealed indicates a parallel between the Japan of then and the Japan of now. Kishe used the argument of self-defense against Russia to justify the acquiring of nuclear weapons, and today Japan is using the “threat” of North Korea and China as a pretext for developing nuclear weapons. From the beginning of this year the US has been exhorting South Korea to place a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system to defend against a possible nuclear attack from North Korea, but China strongly objected to this proposal, arguing that such an installation would be a threat to its national sovereignty. </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">In response, on June of this year, vice-president Biden, in a conversation with Chinese president, Xi Jingping, said that Japan “could tomorrow” go nuclear in order to fight against North Korea. Biden’s recounting of the conversation in an interview <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.rt.com/news/348416-pyongyang-threat-japan-nuclear/"><span class="s2">goes as follows:</span></a></span></p><blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">“When I tell President Xi, you have to understand we got a guy up there in North Korea who is talking about building weapons that can strike, nuclear weapons strike the United States and not only Hawaii and Alaska, but… the mainland of the United States… And I say, so we’re going to move up our defense system, and he says no, no, no, wait a minute, my military thinks you’re going to try to circle us. …What would you do? Do you think we should stand back? …What happens if we don't work out something together on North Korea? What happens if Japan, who could tomorrow, could go nuclear tomorrow?”</span></p></blockquote><div id="attachment_102253" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/joe-b-copy.jpg"><img alt="joe b copy" class="wp-image-102253 size-large" height="612" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/joe-b-copy-1024x612.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/joe-b-copy-1024x612.jpg 1024w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/joe-b-copy-300x179.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/joe-b-copy-768x459.jpg 768w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/joe-b-copy.jpg 1318w" width="1024" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Biden and President Xi Jinping</p></div><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Japan has a very efficient and proficient ability and means to create nuclear weapons. This is true, regardless of Japan being currently under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty which was agreed to by Prime Minister Eisaku Sato, another maternal grandfather of the current prime minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe. Sato, in the leading up to the agreement, outlined certain principles under which Japan could not develop or house nuclear weapons. The principles, properly known as <em>the Three Non-Nuclear Principles,</em> were explained by Sato in his 1974 Noble Lecture in which he said:</span></p><blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">“It has often been pointed out that, with the rise in the level of economic activity and the great strides made in science and technology, <b>Japan has the capacity to produce nuclear arms.</b> However, it is, in spite of Japan's potential, or precisely for that reason, that our people have, on their own initiative, made the firm choice not to be armed with nuclear weapons. This is also the firm policy of the Japanese Government. I wish to take this opportunity to declare this again unequivocally, and beg that my distinguished audience will bear this fact in mind.  ...</span></p><p class="p1">I established three non-nuclear principles as a policy of the Japanese Government after deep reflection on the course Japan should take as a country which will not possess nuclear arms. This policy states that we shall not manufacture nuclear weapons, that we shall not possess them and that we shall not bring them into our country. This was later reaffirmed by a resolution of our Diet.<b> I have no doubt that this policy will be pursued by all future governments.”</b></p></blockquote><div id="attachment_102254" style="width: 996px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img alt="jap copy" class="wp-image-102254 size-full" height="852" sizes="(max-width: 986px) 100vw, 986px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/jap-copy.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/jap-copy.jpg 986w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/jap-copy-300x259.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/jap-copy-768x664.jpg 768w" width="986" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Eisaku Sato</p></div><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Well, it turns out that not all future governments would rid itself of nuclear weapons or nuclear abilities. Japan itself, while demanding that other nations give up nuclear weapons, did not want to throw away its means to becoming a nuclear nation, and nor does it plan to be absent of nuclear weapons. <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2015/02/02/japanese-government-turkey-currently-using-isis-order-revive-empires-preparation-world-war-iii/"><span class="s2">As I wrote last year</span></a>, Japan has enough plutonium to build 50 nukes and possesses 44.3 tons of plutonium, 9.3 tons of which are kept within the country, while 35 tons are kept abroad in countries like the United Kingdom and France. </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">This is enough plutonium to create more than 5000 nuclear bombs. According to Yin Xiaoliang, a researcher with the Institute of Japan Studies at Nankai University, “This even exceeds the 38 tons of weapons-grade plutonium the US previously claimed to hold.” Not only this, but Japan is capable of make a nuclear weapon in six months. The United States understands this reality, with one US official <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/fukushima-anniversary/japan-has-nuclear-bomb-basement-china-isnt-happy-n48976"><span class="s2">stating</span></a> that the six-month estimate “was not out of the ballpark”. And, regardless of the polite anti-nuclear speech of Eisaku Sato in 1974, Japan, in April of 2013, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2014/03/25/war-japan-inevitable/">refused</a> to sign a joint-statement on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, in Geneva and Switzerland.</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">The United States knows of Japan’s nuclear abilities and its itchy desires to have nuclear weapons, that is why Biden warned China about how Japan “could tomorrow” go nuclear if it hinders South Korea from defending against North Korea. The cumulous thought of a peaceful Japan is now dissipating to the reality of the eastern mind: never forget what your enemies have done to you, and always get back at them, even if it takes a millennium to do it. Thus is the eastern mentality, and such is the mentality of Japan, no matter how much people try to cover it with modern smiles and suits. As pagan Japanese nationalist, Yukio Mishima, said, "After the war, our brutal side was completely hidden, but I believe it is just hidden" </span></p><p class="p1">The fact that Japan agreed to not possessing nuclear weapons does not prove a Japan that has converted from its ways. A major reason why Eisaku Sato conceded to the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons was because he wanted repossession of Okinawa and the rest of the Ryukyu Islands and to take them away from US occupation.</p><div id="attachment_102263" style="width: 746px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/c36a3e18c79ccb65ef51d3bfc36ad67e.jpg"><img alt="American soldiers in the Battle of Okinawa.

Japan capitulated simply because it wanted Okinawa back. It is also said that between 1968 and 1970 a vicious debate was raging amongst Japanese bureaucrats on whether or not Japan should own nuclear weapons, since at that point China owned nuclear weapons. Japan never wanted to make an emphatic and absolute agreement that it would never produce or use nuclear weapons. In fact, when the Japanese signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1970, it <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/8168201/Japan_s_Nuclear_Posture_A_Wolf_In_Sheep_s_Clothing_A_Critical_Assessment_Of_Japan_s_Nuclear_Policy?auto=download"><span class="s2">attached</span></a> to its signature that “Each Party[…] have the right to withdraw from the Treaty if it decides that extraordinary events […] have jeopardized the supreme interests of its country.”</p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">In our own time, Japan is getting close to developing nuclear weapons under the connivance<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>of the Western eye, and it is nearing its objective through crafty diplomacy. Japan is not under the same scrutiny as Turkey or other Islamic powers. The sanguinary bent of the Muslims is made conspicuous by their decapitations, perversities and multitude of inhumanities. But with the Japanese it is different; they abide by guidelines enforced upon them by the American victors, while implicitly suggesting violent aspirations under the guise of self-defense. But in their militaristic implications, is found an explicit conspiracy to revive imperial rule and brutality all behind the mask of appearing pursuant. This plan has not been being developed in immediate recent times, but has been being carried out incrementally, step by step, calculatedly done until trust is gained and the one who gives the trust is open to be warred against. In 1969, while Japan was promoting the peaceful use of nuclear energy, it was already discussing the conversion of nuclear technology into nuclear weapons.</span></p><p class="p1"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/1433_JAPAN.jpg"><img alt="1433_JAPAN" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-102255" height="450" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/1433_JAPAN.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/1433_JAPAN.jpg 800w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/1433_JAPAN-300x169.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/1433_JAPAN-768x432.jpg 768w" width="800" /></a></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Sato was the first Japanese prime minister to visit Okinawa after the war. When he did arrive in the island of Okinawa in 1965, he was scheduled to give several speeches. Before he said his speeches, the United States ordered that they be edited so that they may stress on American actions done in Okinawa for the purpose of peace and stability in the region. Sato was to give two speeches upon his arrival at the Naha airport and another speech at a local airport. </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">The US wanted him to revise all of his speeches to emphasize American importance, and Sato agreed to change the theatre speech but refused to amend the first speeches that he was to say upon his coming to the island. The US complained that his written speech was “disparaging” to the American administration in Okinawa, and one American diplomat even said that his speech could affect the path to US-Japanese cooperation in Okinawa. The Americans inserted into the text of his speech the words, “The Ryukyu Islands are playing a very important role for peace and security of the Far East,” and also, “Japan allied with the United States by the Mutual Cooperation and Security Treaty . . . has cooperative relations with her as a partner.” </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Americans desired for more friendlier words toward the US that would emphasize on how the United States played a role with Japan towards the objective of peace. But Sato did not want this. While he did read the added words just quoted, Sato, defying the Americans, said in the speech words that were not in the original text and that were not agreed to be added into it: “Until Okinawa is returned, Japan will not have completely emerged from her postwar period.” </span></p><p class="p3"><span class="s1">According to Masaaki Gabe, a professor at the University of the Ryukyus, “Mr. Sato felt the need to raise his own political performance toward the reversion (of Okinawa to Japan)”, and thus he defied the US and made it known that Japan wanted those islands back into its hands. In his 1974 Nobel lecture, Sato elucidated and elaborated more at to what he meant by his words, stating that he did not want the Japanese people living in Okinawa to be under a foreign power, and that until the islands were returned back to Japan, peace in the Far East would not be promised. It was as though he was elusively threatening the United States. Here are his words from his Nobel lecture: </span></p><blockquote><p class="p5"><span class="s1">“It was a clearly anomalous situation for one million Japanese people to be still under foreign domination more than twenty years after the termination of hostilities. The desire to see Okinawa returned to Japan developed into a broad national consensus among our people.</span></p><p class="p5"><span class="s1">By that time, Okinawa had come to occupy a key strategic position in Asia in the framework of the Cold War. Nevertheless I declared soon after my assumption of office as Prime Minister my conviction that: "Until Okinawa is returned, Japan will not have completely emerged from her post-war period". For I had came to the conviction that to leave Okinawa in such an anomalous state would create greater tension in Asia because of the very important position of this group of islands and that to realize the reversion of Okinawa would contribute to a stable peace in the Western Pacific.”</span></p></blockquote><div id="attachment_102256" style="width: 634px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/nob-copy.jpg"><img alt="nob copy" class="wp-image-102256 size-full" height="722" sizes="(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/nob-copy.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/nob-copy.jpg 624w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/nob-copy-259x300.jpg 259w" width="624" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Eisaku Sato</p></div><p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Japanese did not want to be under American occupation, or as Sato called it, “foreign domination,” and thus they desired to pursue their objective of an independent Japan for the cause of national pride.

Repossessing Okinawa was something that the Japanese were fixated upon. Every post-war Japanese prime minister made efforts to retake Okinawa, until Sato completed the mission. Gaining back Okinawa and the rest of the Ryukyu islands was the objective and Japan was willing to say anything to regain them, and that is why they stated and agreed that they would not produce or possess nuclear weapons. </span></p><p class="p5"><span class="s1">If Japan was truly intent on being a peaceful nation at this time, then why would they need Okinawa, an island whose people they brutally slaughtered and tormented when they invaded and occupied it? Another question that comes to mind is, why would the United States agree to return Okinawa and the other islands solely under the stipulation that they would not have any nuclear weapons? </span></p><p class="p5"><span class="s1">In 1969, president Nixon and Sato agreed that Okinawa would be returned to Japan only under the “particular sentiment of the Japanese people against nuclear weapons and the police of the Japanese Government reflecting this sentiment” (See Woodall, Growing Democracy in Japan). We must ask ourselves as to why the return of Okinawa to Japanese hands was done only if Japan agreed to not produce or have nuclear weapons. Its obvious the United States knew and understood that a nuclear Japan would be a major threat, and thus the Americans comprehended that the Japanese were still indeed a dangerous and evil country that needed to be reined in.  </span></p><div id="attachment_102300" style="width: 650px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/AI-AY243_JSECRE_G_20091022123351-copy.jpg"><img alt="President Nixon with Nobusuke Kishe, Shinzo Abe's grandfather " class="size-full wp-image-102300" height="427" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/AI-AY243_JSECRE_G_20091022123351-copy.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/AI-AY243_JSECRE_G_20091022123351-copy.jpg 640w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/AI-AY243_JSECRE_G_20091022123351-copy-300x200.jpg 300w" width="640" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">President Nixon with Nobusuke Kishe, Shinzo Abe's grandfather</p></div><p class="p5"><span class="s1">Prime Minister Sato, in his Noble lecture of 1974, pushed for all nations, specifically the United States and Russia, to get rid of its nuclear weapons: </span></p><blockquote><p class="p5"><span class="s1">“It is the earnest hope of our people that the world may see the day when all nuclear weapons are abolished. If I may, however, be allowed to put this in more realistic, if more modest, terms, the nuclear Powers, with the United States and the USSR taking the lead, should, at least, cease their quantitative and qualitative nuclear arms race, and sincerely explore effective and practical means for the gradual reduction and international control of nuclear arms.”</span></p></blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Why did Sato want the US to get rid of its nuclear weapons? I believe that Japan wanted, and still wants, the United States to empty out its nuclear arsenal because it is still furious about what happened at the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and thus it wants the US to disarm itself so that it can become an easy target, and furthermore, it wants to strike back at the US and resume from where it was stopped in its imperial conquests and genocides in which the Japanese slaughtered millions of its Asian neighbors. </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">While Sato wanted the US to get rid of its nuclear weapons, he himself wanted Japan to possess nuclear weapons. <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.chinausfocus.com/peace-security/us-should-be-mindful-of-japans-ambition-for-nuclear-weapons/"><span class="s2">Sato discussed this objective in the late 1960s</span></a>, and spoke of Japan possessing nuclear weapons in a “highly secret” way. This idea that Sato was a man of peace plays only well to the public, while the reality shows that he was really forced to concede to this policy, just as Shinzo Abe, his grandson, will say that he is a man of peace while at the same time pushing for militaristic revival. </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Lets not forget, that it was Nobusuke Kishi, Shinzo Abe’s grandfather, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://articles.latimes.com/2006/sep/19/world/fg-abe19"><span class="s2">who signed the declaration of war</span></a> against the United States in the Second World War.

The Japanese elites are a very reticent people; they will hide their true feelings and thoughts, going by the rules until they gain one’s trust, and at that point, they will strike. Shinzo Abe desires to continue his grandfather’s objective of a Japanese universal empire.

Was it not Japan who invaded China and slaughtered millions of Chinese people just over seventy years ago? And it is this very same Japan that is making all sorts of aggressive and ideological gestures towards China. Japan owns enough tons of plutonium to produce thousands of nukes, and this reality is making China very concerned about Japan. One Chinese report <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2016-04/01/c_135243368.htm"><span class="s2">states</span></a>: </span></p><blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">“Japan's massive nuclear material stockpiles, enough to produce thousands of nuclear bombs, pose a threat to the world given the growing danger of nuclear terrorism. … Also alarming than the ecological and environmental consequences is Japan's rightist tendency. For example, Yusuke Yokobatake, director-general of the Japanese Cabinet Legislation Bureau, allegedly said that Japan's Constitution does not necessarily ban the use of nuclear weapons. Such remarks have no doubt deepened the world's skepticism over the stance of Japan, which had vowed not to produce, possess or stockpile nuclear weapons. Its nuclear ambition would add uncertainty and pose a huge threat to the already tense situation in Northeast Asia. As its nuclear material stockpiles would do good to none, it is advisable that Japan, which clearly understands the horrible consequences of nuclear proliferation, cut its storage as soon as possible.” </span></p></blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Japanese wanted nuclear weapons during the Second World War, and the desire continued<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>on at the end of the war to now. A declassified August 1957 document from the U.S. State Department report revealed: </span></p><blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">“Contrary to the impression conveyed by the overwhelming popular sentiment in Japan against any association with nuclear weapons, there is mounting evidence that the conservative government in Tokyo secretly contemplates the eventual manufacture of such weapons, unless international agreements intervene,”.</span></p></blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">This was said back in 1957, just two years after it agreed to only use nuclear material for energy utilization. And to this day the Japanese are adamant about remilitarizing their country. In the 1970s, the same decade in which the former prime minister, Eisaku Sato, promised that Japan would never have nuclear weapons, Japan inquired seriously on how to reprocess spent conventional fuel, which could, prospectively, be used as materials for weapons. In February of 1977, the US vice president, Walter Mondale, had a meeting with the Japanese prime minister, Takeo Fukuda, on a plan to build a reprocessing plant in Japan. In a declassified memorandum, the US revealed its true consternation over Japan going nuclear. It stated that </span></p><blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">“Reprocessing facilities which could produce weapons-grade material <strong>are simply bomb factories”</strong></span></p></blockquote><div id="attachment_102302" style="width: 650px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/takeo-copy.jpg"><img alt="takeo copy" class="wp-image-102302 size-full" height="341" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/takeo-copy.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/takeo-copy.jpg 640w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/takeo-copy-300x160.jpg 300w" width="640" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">US vice president, Walter Mondale with Takeo Fukuda</p></div><p class="p1"><span class="s1">The nuclear waste reprocessing center, located in Rokkasho, Aomori Prefecture, has still not been used yet.

But Japan already has tons of plutonium and does not use them for electricity. Once the plant goes into operation, it will set alarms in both China and the Koreas, and nuclear production will significantly increase due to this. Two of Japan's nuclear reactors at the Sendai nuclear plant <span class="s2"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/AJ201607060033.html">are already in operation.</a></span> <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2014/12/07/muslim-antichrist-will-unite-japan-will-create-powerful-greatest-threat-america-christian-civilization-will-ever-face/"><span class="s2">As I wrote in December of 2014,</span></a> Shinzo Abe did away with Japan’s sixty year long policy that it will never use its nuclear plants and it has begun restarting them. </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">The desire that Japan has to make nuclear weapons is evidenced by the fact that the Japanese have had the capabilities to make nuclear weapons since the 1980s when they launched a plutonium breeder reactor and a uranium enrichment plant. One Japanese government official, who is significantly involved in Japan’s nuclear energy program, stated: “Japan already has the technical capability, and has had it since the 1980s,” and that once Japan obtained more than five to ten kilograms of plutonium, the amount required to produce one nuclear weapon, it had “already gone over the threshold,” and had a nuclear deterrent.</span></p><p class="p5"><span class="s1">Japan’s ownership of nuclear energy was allowed and enabled by the United States. In 1955 Japan and the United States signed the atomic energy agreement, at which point the US agreed to lend to Japan six kilograms of uranium-235, a nuclear material. After this, in 1956, Japan established the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute in Tokai, to be a place to house the uranium given by the US. In the late 60s to the mid-70s, Japan Nuclear Fuel Limited began building a uranium plant in Ningyo-Toge, and the United States then allowed Japan to put the plant in full operation in 1977. The plant was then launched in 1982. Now Japan owns heavy supplies of both uranium and plutonium.</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">While Japan possesses nine tons of plutonium in its own country, and thirty five tones more in France and the UK, it also has 1.2 tons of enriched uranium. Many experts <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052970203658804576638392537430156"><span class="s2">say</span></a> that, on account of a nuclear-fuel reprocessing program that produces enriched uranium and plutonium, Japan can create nuclear weapons in the form of government-subsidized commercial rockets, which are said to be technically no different from ballistic missiles. According to physicist Richard Garwin, in a 1998 paper written for the Council of Foreign Relations, all that Japan needs to make one thousand nuclear weapons is 10 tons of civilian-grade plutonium. In Japan, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-01-04/japan-s-25-billion-nuclear-recycling-quest-enters-28th-year"><span class="s2">currently</span></a> there are about three thousand tons of used nuclear fuel stored up in the Rokkasho plant. In the whole country of Japan alone, there are about seventeen thousand metric tons of used nuclear fuel. </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">On June 2010, the Japanese conducted the Hayabusa government test in which they sent a satellite into space to land upon an asteroid. The test was a success and it brought the Japanese people to much international pride, with three motion pictures being done about the Hayabusa program. While people were discussing it as a great accomplishment for Japanese technological advancement, what was going on behind the scenes was something very sinister. The technology used for the project was the same type needed to guide ballistic missiles. It was done purposefully to show that Japan had the capabilities to build and use ballistic missiles. "That's the behind-the-scenes reason Japan decided to develop Hayabusa," <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.apple.com"><span class="s2">says</span></a> Toshiyuki Shikata, a former lieutenant general in Japan's military and currently a Teikyo University professor and Tokyo Metropolitan Government adviser.

In what way do they want to use the nukes to “defend” themselves?

Does one need so much sensitive nuclear material for peaceful use? Should one keep excessive weapons-grade nuclear material? … More importantly, does Japan have higher-enriched and weapons-grade uranium, and how much does it have? What are those used for? How can Japan ensure a balance between the demand and supply of nuclear materials? These are the real concerns and questions of the international community.” </span></p></blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">For the last past four or five years, Chinese defense white papers have referred to Japan’s plutonium stockpiles as a threat. Yet the Americans pay no attention to the warnings of China, a nation that allied with the US to fight the Japanese imperial forces in the Second World War. The tensions between China and Japan, I believe, will implode into war. The Koreans will join the Chinese in fighting the Japanese. There is no one that the North Koreans hate more than the Japanese, and I believe that it is possible that what will unite North and South Korea will be a struggle against the Japanese. The North Koreans have their Nagong missile system, which is in range to fire at any place in Japan. Leonard Spector, deputy director of the Center for Non-Proliferation Studies in Monterey, said that "Nodong is a Japan weapon”. Japan is using North Korea’s ballistic missile system to justify its nuclear capabilities against China. Political scientist, Kenneth Neal Waltz, states:</span></p><blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1"> “The threat of ballistic missile attacks by North Korea serves as an excuse, albeit a flimsy one, to build defenses that the administration hopes will be useful against China.” </span></p></blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Americans may think that war in the Far-East will not transpire, but the Chinese certainly do. In October of 2014, state-ran media in China declared that "a war looms following Japan's radical provocation,” after Japan threatened to shoot down Chinese drones. </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">In 2011, Shigeru Ishiba, a former defense minister, said in an interview with Sapio, a reactionary magazine: </span></p><blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">"I don't think Japan needs to possess nuclear weapons, but it's important to maintain our commercial reactors because it would allow us to produce a nuclear warhead in a short amount of time”</span></p></blockquote><div id="attachment_102305" style="width: 572px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/jap2-copy.jpg"><img alt="jap2 copy" class="wp-image-102305" height="684" sizes="(max-width: 562px) 100vw, 562px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/jap2-copy-841x1024.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/jap2-copy-841x1024.jpg 841w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/jap2-copy-246x300.jpg 246w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/jap2-copy-768x935.jpg 768w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/jap2-copy.jpg 946w" width="562" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Shigeru Ishiba</p></div><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Ishiba’s words did not spark protest from the Japanese media, but rather, it pushed people to express further support for nuclear utilization. The Yomiuri, the newspaper in Japan said to have the highest circulation in the world, urged Japan to stick to having nuclear technology in order to produce nuclear weapons: </span></p><blockquote><p class="p1"><span class="s1">"As Japan has worked to strengthen the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty regime through the peaceful use of nuclear power, the nation is permitted to use plutonium that can be used as material for nuclear weapons.

Since Japan has been enabled and allowed to obtain military technology, and to develop the most powerful military in the Far-East, it is not far-fetched to say that they will one day have nuclear weapons, given the fact that it has very efficient capabilities to make that happen. </span></p><div id="attachment_102307" style="width: 796px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/japan_military_flag_getty.jpg"><img alt="A soldier holds a Rising Sun flag during the military review at the Ground Self-Defence Force's Asaka training ground on October 27, 2013.

But I believe the reality is quite dark once it is brought forth from the cumulous of delusions of a repentant, peaceful Japan. Amongst whom is Abe the most popular? It is not the elderly who, after tasting the bitter herb of war do not want history to repeat itself. It is the young. According to one poll, fifty percent of young voters, ages 18 to 19, support Shinzo Abe and his governing coalition. </span></p><p class="p8"><span class="s1">If Shinzo Abe is so unpopular, then why has he won the elections? The masses in Japan support him because they, for the most part, believe that he is going to make a better economy. How many millions of lives have been lost for the sake of the masses who desire great economy? The masses are indifferent to Abe’s fanatical and tyrannical goals because they see his economic policies as being of the supreme goal. While people will think that Abe is not doing anything to foment the outbreak of war in the Far-East, Shinzo Abe and his regime are controlling the media, preventing official secrets from being known to the public. </span></p><p class="p8"><span class="s1">What agenda is Abe conspiring that he does not want the world to know? The answer may lie in a leaked conversation that took place in 2012, between Shinzo Abe and the former governor of Tokyo, Shintaro Ishihara, in which Ishihara told Abe that the constitution doesn’t need to be revised to enable Japan to use its military, but completely destroyed, and that a new constitution needs to be rewritten from scratch. Ishihara <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2016/07/23/national/media-national/dark-age-dawns-politics-japan/#.V5PHAZMrJUN"><span class="s3">told</span></a> Abe: </span></p><blockquote><p class="p8"><span class="s1">“Abe-san!

It all goes back to that fanatical nationalist pride that the Japanese have harbored and still harbor. </span></p><p class="p8"><span class="s1">The signs are there that there is going to be war in the Far-East, between Japan on one side, and China and her allies on the other. The question is, what will be the catalyst that will spark war? It seems that tensions will implode into war over the most important meat product in the Far-East: fish. Half of the world’s captured fish production comes from Asian fisheries, and six of the top ten producers of maritime products are Asian (that is, China, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam). Right now, the ocean’s fish is what is guaranteeing China’s economic security and regional dominance. So great is this need that China is rapidly depleting the fish populations of its own seas, so much so that it is entering disputed water territory in the East China Sea, which the Chinese believe belongs to them. </span></p><p class="p8"><span class="s1">In 1978, the Chinese government set out to accomplish a plan of self-sufficiency in obtaining fish for its nation. In 1985, close to 90% of China’s fish was caught inshore. But this changed in 2002, when only 65% of China’s fish was caught inshore. In 2015, China set up a goal to catch 73 million tons of fish a year by 2020 and 77 million tons by 2024. In order for China to reach this goal, it cannot rely on its own waters, but must go into waters which other nations believe to be under their jurisdiction and not China’s. China has already been doing this. For example, in 2012 the Chinese government made an <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.stratfor.com/analysis/fish-overlooked-destabilizer-south-china-sea"><span class="s3">assessment</span></a> that its main fishing areas are the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the East China and South China Seas. In the survey, the Chinese determined that fish populations had declined significantly in the Bohai and Yellow Seas, and needed to be left alone so that they could replenish. It then began to expand its fish capturing around the much disputed Spratly Islands, over which Malaysia, the Philippines, China, Brunei, Taiwan and Vietnam lay claim. Here is where Japan comes into the picture: China is firmly committed to its belief that the waters of the Senkaku Islands and the East China Sea belong to it, and these are the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.stratfor.com/analysis/fish-overlooked-destabilizer-south-china-sea"><span class="s3">very territories over which Japan claims</span></a> to be the rightful owners.

The desire to control maritime territory and islands imploded into violence, with Japan declaring war on China in 1894. (See Bix, Hirohito, intro, p. 8) Japan would go on to invade China for the purpose of controlling Korea. Japan today still wants to control Korea, and will use the aggression of North Korea to validate its ostentatious bolstering of military strength, and its own confronting of other Asian countries. What is most worthy of our observation is the historical parallels. Japan wanted to control Chinese maritime territories and islands, and today Japan wants to dominate the East China Sea, and the Senkaku islands. Today, Japan wants to dominate the waters East Asia, it wants to retake the Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands from Russia, and it is using military aggression to scare China away from pursuing its claim over the Senkaku Islands. The territorial conflict in history ended in war, and what will the current conflict in the Far East — with its military encroachments and fanatical gestures — lead to? History will tell us: war. <span class="Apple-converted-space">   </span></span></p><p class="p8"><span class="s1">People argue that Japan will not revive its old militarism because it has become pacifistic.

In the Meiji era Japan uprooted its Samurai feudalism, and the people, drenched in Western comforts, became habituated in antimilitarism, looking at the Samurai with fear and suspicion. One could have said in those times that Japan would not be a threat because it had adopted Western conveniences. But in 1895, Japan attacked China, and this measure reawakened the Samurai ideology, and also stimulated a sense of racial superiority over the Chinese and Koreans.

Alongside Germany and France, the Russians were able to defeat the Japanese and establish its influence over Korea, keeping Japan in check. Russia also acquired leasehold rights in the Liaotung Peninsula and moved right into Manchuria in 1898. In 1901 a revolution broke out in China, called the Boxer Rebellion. It was very anti-Christian, anti-Western, and violent. Influenced by Taoist teachings, the Boxers went into a blood rage, inflicting a reign of terror against British and Japanese diplomats and Chinese Christians. 10,000 Muslims, called the Kansu Braves, joined the revolution and heavily took part in the bloodbath. In one disturbing instance, the Muslims beheaded the Japanese chancellor, Sugiyama Akira. This provoked the Japanese, because of the danger posed against its diplomats and citizens, to sign the Boxer Protocol, which enabled them to join the Western forces in fighting the Chinese rebels, and most importantly, to permanently place stations of troops in designated Chinese cities to protect Japanese nationals and diplomats. </span></p><p class="p8"><span class="s1">The Japanese used the threat of the Islamic and Taoist rebellion as a way to justify deploying troops into China. There is an eery reminiscence here to our own times. Shinzo Abe used the beheading of a Japanese journalist as a way to subtly validate militarism. It is quite plausible to say that Japan will use future murders, either done by Muslim terrorists or Chinese or Korean nationalists, to restore its past military robustness in the region. Just this month, a Korean nationalist named Jeon Chang-Han was sentenced to four years in prison for <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/south-korean-man-gets-prison-sentence-for-yasukuni-shrine-blast-1468913372"><span class="s3">bombing the Yasukuni Shrine</span></a>, a militaristically ideological temple where Japanese war criminals, who orchestrated the mass slaughter and rape of the Korean people in the 20th century, are deified and worshipped as gods.

The Japanese attacked the Russians because it knew that the only way it would become the superpower over Asia was to vanquish and crush Russia. The surprise attack commenced the Russo-Japanese War, which lasted from 1904 to 1905, and which led to the deaths of 110,000 Japanese and countless more Russian lives. Notwithstanding its heavy losses, the Japanese took the victory, gaining the leasehold rights over the Liaotung Peninsula, a seven-hundred mile long railway running through southern Manchuria, and the southern part of the Sakhalin Island on the Sea of Okhotsk. (See Bix, Hirohito, intro, p. 9) Today, Japan wants to take the Kuril Islands and the Sakhalin from Russia, and it appears that war will break between the countries, and the dispute over territory will be a catalyst leading to it. </span></p><p class="p8"><span class="s1">In WW2, the Russians retook the whole of Sakhalin and cast out all of its Japanese inhabitants.

And of course I lit incense and prayed for the souls of those who had died in the war.” (p. 39) </span></p></blockquote><p class="p8"><span class="s1">The Sansuikyos that Nakasone is referring to is the “Mountains and Water” sutra, written by the prestigious Japanese Buddhist authority, Dogen. By reading this book, one can learn something about the relationship between Buddhism and government within Buddhist society in the context of Japanese imperial religion. In one section of the sutra, it speaks of how the emperor receives wisdom from the Buddhist monks:</span></p><blockquote><p class="p8"><span class="s1">“For the imperial authority has no authority over the mountain sage, and [the emperors] knew that the mountains are beyond the mundane world. In ancient times we have [the cases of] Kongtong and the Hua Guard: when the Yellow Emperor [Huang-ti] made his visit, he went on his knees, prostrated himself, and begged instruction.” </span></p></blockquote><p class="p8"><span class="s1">Nakasone believes in this structure, and in another writing <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2014/12/07/muslim-antichrist-will-unite-japan-will-create-powerful-greatest-threat-america-christian-civilization-will-ever-face/"><span class="s3">he made mention</span></a> on how in the modern era Japanese politicians still go to Buddhist monks to seek their wisdom, and how he, in emulation of this, partook in Zen mediation:</span></p><blockquote><p class="p8"><span class="s1">“In the past, some politicians made a point of meeting regularly for dinner with philosophers and Zen priests in order to listen to their views. They would pay heed, for example, to what was said by Zen master Seki Bokuo or by Hashimoto Gyoin the chief priest of Nara temple, or by Yasuoka Seitoku. Politicians from Confucian backgrounds had a desire to find the truth and I tried to emulate this through Zen meditation.” </span></p></blockquote><p class="p8"><span class="s1">Nakasone still reveres the emperor as the spiritual head of the Japanese nation, since, in a work published in 2002, he wrote:</span></p><blockquote><p class="p8"><span class="s1">“Japan today lacks a new, functional, pragmatic political authority that can replace the authority of the emperor system of the pre-war period. The position of the prime minister must be stabilized and made into a firm, fixed point in politics by turning it into an authority with a base among the people and directly connected to them. The use of a system of direct election of the prime minister will make that possible for the first time. … The emperor is the symbol of the spiritual and historical unity of the people and a public presence that embraces the country as a whole. …The emperor and the directly elected prime minister will together ensure the unity of the people but, since the directly elected prime minister is only partially responsible for functional unity under the emperor, his role will not violate the emperor system.” (Nakasone, </span>Japan-a State Strategy for the Twenty-first Century,<span class="s1"> p. 12, ellipses mine) </span></p></blockquote><p class="p8"><span class="s1">When the BBC was planning on making a documentary about the Emperor Hirohito in 2011, they asked Nakasone’s secretary if the former prime minister could be in the film, and the secretary rejected their invitation before even consulting Nakasone, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/japan/1483310/BBCs-ugly-portrayal-of-Hirohito-angers-Japan.html"><span class="s3">stating</span></a>: "The contents were so clearly intended to make a villain of the emperor”. The anger indicates a continuous glorification and veneration of the emperor. </span></p><p class="p8"><span class="s1">In the same book quoted above, Nakasone pushes for changing Article 9 of the constitution, which imposes pacifism on Japan, writing: </span></p><blockquote><p class="p8"><span class="s1">“It is time to take action either to amend Article 9 or to define how it should be interpreted, and to do so on the basis of national understanding and consent” (p. 48) </span></p></blockquote><p class="p8"><span class="s1"> Bringing Japan back to militarism goes hand in hand with the spiritual foundation of the nation. This is why Shinzo Abe, in May of this year, brought the leaders of the G-7 to what is considered by the Japanese to be the holiest Shinto temple Japan, the Ise Shrine. Conveying the leaders of the G-7 to the shrine was motivated by a political agenda. According to the Japanese Foreign Ministry, the visit to the shrine was a presentation of "leadership in guiding the world by showing the best path forward for peace and prosperity”. And this path is what? a Shinto shrine? Yasuhisa Kawamura said that "Ise is the place to present the beauty of nature and the richness of our culture and long tradition.” The temple is dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu Omikami, mythical ancestress of the emperor, whose name means “Heaven-Illuminating Great Deity.”</span></p><div id="attachment_102318" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/1037811120.jpg"><img alt="G-7 leaders at the Ise Shrine " class="size-full wp-image-102318" height="541" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/1037811120.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/1037811120.jpg 1000w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/1037811120-300x162.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/1037811120-768x415.jpg 768w" width="1000" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">G-7 leaders at the Ise Shrine</p></div><p class="p8">Part of the meeting with the G-7 was to <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/05/25/g-7-in-sync-with-japanese-prime-minister-abe-own-agenda.html"><span class="s3">discuss</span></a> “concerns over China's expanding presence in disputed areas of the South China Sea”.

The cult wants the Japanese government to have state sponsored worship of the souls of the Japanese war criminals of the Second World War, that would include those who conducted the massacres of millions of Asians and Allied Troops and the slaughter in Pearl Harbor. Could you imagine if politicians in Germany demanded a holiday for worshipping Hitler? This is just as evil, but for some strange reason Japan gets a free pass in holocaust denial and imperial religion. In fact, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/may/25/g7-japan-world-leaders-tour-shrine-cameron-obama-abe"><span class="s3">over three hundred Japanese members</span></a> of parliament belong to this political cult, the Shinto Association of Spiritual Leadership.<br /></span></p><p class="p8"><span class="s1">The power that this group has increased in recent years.

The only explanation for this is that followers of fanatic nationalist religion have grown bolder and more powerful. In the Japanese parliament, the majority of the MPs agree with changing the constitution and reviving Japanese militarism, and now you have hundreds of MPs believing that sun worship, emperor worship, and the worship of war criminals, should be the state religion.</span></p><div id="attachment_102319" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/fl20131124x1b.jpg"><img alt="Shinto prie" class="size-large wp-image-102319" height="727" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/fl20131124x1b-1024x727.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/fl20131124x1b-1024x727.jpg 1024w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/fl20131124x1b-300x213.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/fl20131124x1b-768x545.jpg 768w" width="1024" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Shinto prie</p></div><p class="p8"><span class="s1">Another cult that Abe is a part of is Nippon Kaigi, a very powerful organization consisting of Japan’s elites.  This cult <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nationalreview.com/article/437950/japans-new-fascism">believes</a>  that </span>“Japan should be applauded for liberating much of East Asia”, that the “Tokyo War Crimes tribunals were illegitimate,” and that the rape of Nanking was either “exaggerated or fabricated.” In 2013, Shinzo Abe appointed eighteen new people to be members of his cabinet, fifteen of those were members of Nippon Kaigi.

The exaltation of the Japanese race as being something divine was used by Harada Daiun Sogaku, a Buddhist monk who played a large role in spreading Buddhism in the West. Sogaku stated in 1934:</span></p><blockquote><p class="p8"><span class="s1">“The spirit of Japan is the Great Way of the [Shinto] gods. It is the substance of the universe, the essence of the Truth. The Japanese people are a chosen people whose mission is to control the world. The sword which kills is also the sword which gives life.” (Harada, Sanzen no Kaitei, p. 112, in Victoria, Zen At War, ch. 9, p. 137)</span></p></blockquote><div id="attachment_102337" style="width: 683px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/HaradaSogaku2.jpg"><img alt="Harada Daiun Sogaku" class=" wp-image-102337" height="466" sizes="(max-width: 673px) 100vw, 673px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/HaradaSogaku2.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/HaradaSogaku2.jpg 400w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/HaradaSogaku2-300x208.jpg 300w" width="673" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Harada Daiun Sogaku</p></div><p class="p8"><span class="s1">Such a belief in Japanese superiority is based on the Shinto scriptures. In the <i>Kojiki</i>, the Japanese "Record of Ancient Things,” it speaks of two deities, Izanagi and Izanami, who swirl the “bridge of heaven” in the ocean and raise it up. The liquid that drips off of it becomes an island on which they descend and create “a great column to the heavens”, something that sounds reminiscent to the Tower of Babel. The text goes on to say that the deities “mated and gave birth to the eight main islands of Japan and six minor islands.” Japan then, according to Shinto, is a land that bridges the heavens with the earth, much like how the builders of Babel believed that both their tower and their city was to "reach unto heaven" (Genesis 11:4). The Sumerians had a very similar system of belief. As the Japanese saw Japan as being made from the bridge between heaven and earth, the Sumerians saw their cities no differently. The city of Nippur, where Enlil was the chief deity, was addressed as follows: "Behold the 'bond of heaven and earth, the city,… behold Nippur, the city." (Kramer, Sumer. Myth., ch. ii, p. 43) </span></p><p class="p8"><span class="s1">As the Japanese see Amaterasu as the mother of Japan and their race, the Mesopotamians saw the city of Erech as being created by the goddess Venus. The Arabian goddess Allat was called in Mesopotamia, Um-Uruk, or "the mother of the town of Erech," (See F. Lenormant, Chaldean Magic, ch. ix, p. 116) implying that the city had emanated from the planet Venus, which the goddess represented. Erech, or Uruk, was revered also because it had lodged the shrine of Anu, or the god of heaven. (See Hans Baumann, In the Land of Ur, The Creation of Paradise, p. 52) The true account of Erech's founding was that it was founded by Nimrod, but the Sumerians had subscribed to a more supernatural story of the city's genesis. </span></p><p class="p8"><span class="s1">The Japanese text then continues on to say that the deities Izanagi and his sister, Amaterasu, “parented eight deities. Among these was the ancestor of Yamato family that ruled Japan, and two others were ancestors of nineteen of its highest families.” The religion of Shinto, then, declares that the Japanese race is divine, since it springs directly from the gods. The text specifically mentions the Yamato family, who are the dominant race in Japan, since the royal family is Yamato. The Yamatos were people who settled in Japan and dominated the entire region, and became preponderant over the native peoples of Japan, such as the Ainu. The divine origin that Shintoism gives the Yamato race, only signifies that the entire belief system is a racially supremacist ideology, designed to keep the Yamatos in the superior position, and to justify genocide over other peoples.<span class="Apple-converted-space">   </span></span></p><div id="attachment_102343" style="width: 723px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/izanagi-and-izanami.jpeg"><img alt="Izanagi and Izanami " class=" wp-image-102343" height="500" sizes="(max-width: 713px) 100vw, 713px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/izanagi-and-izanami.jpeg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/izanagi-and-izanami.jpeg 600w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/izanagi-and-izanami-300x211.jpeg 300w" width="713" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Izanagi and Izanami</p></div><p class="p8"><span class="s1">It is beneficial for our study of Japanese religion and imperialism to look back to the Meiji Restoration of 1868, an era that marks the beginning of Japan’s rise to empire. <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2014/07/14/buddhism-will-soon-just-dangerous-islam-will-threat-christian-world/"><span class="s3">As I wrote in 2014,</span></a> Shinzo Abe likened his new policy on allowing Japan to participate in war, to the Meiji Restoration.

The prime minister of the most powerful nation of East Asia, Shinzo Abe, is a devout sun worshipper, and he brought the leaders of the G-7 to the most important temple of his religion, the Ise Shrine. The religious and political significances of this story cannot be missed or ignored. It is like an ancient king of pagandom having his enemies worship his gods. This was not just a meeting, but a show of religious superiority. Ise is not only the holiest place in the Shinto religion, but the holiest place in Japan. <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/05/25/linked-to-emperor-ise-shrine-is-no-ordinary-shrine.html"><span class="s3">It is a cloister of 125 shrines, </span></a>and in the middle lies the Inner Shrine, or Naiku, which is considered the holiest spot in Japan, because it is believed to be the house of the sun goddess, Amaterasu.

The two are interconnected by the same religion of Shintoism. When the emperor is initiated into the position of tribal sovereign, he undergoes a most bizarre ritual, one believed to be literally done with Amaterasu. It is called <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://articles.latimes.com/1993-06-06/magazine/tm-288_1_imperial-family/7"><span class="s3">the daijosai ceremony</span></a>, in which the new emperor “enters” the womb of the sun goddess and then is ‘reborn’ as the son of Amaterasu and as the divine king. The second part of the ritual is even more bizarre: the emperor “spends the night” with Amaterasu and simulates having sexual intercourse with her. In 1993, one million Japanese Christians protested against the ritual because it was state sponsored, and thereby, signified that the government was a favoring a particular religion.<span class="Apple-converted-space">   </span></span></p><p class="p8"><span class="s1">The visit to the shrine was not just a mere visit to a religious site. Shintoism is not a universal religion that puts significance in any nation. It is specifically a governmental and imperialist religion whose focus is solely the power and greatness of Japan. For Abe to bring Western leaders to the shrine was a gesture of religious and political superiority. Professor Breen said that Abe choosing the Ise shrine was “very closely connected” to his revisionist ideology of bringing Japan back to militarism, “a perfect fit with his active involvement with the Shinto Seiji Renmei, and its aim of bringing Shinto into the heart of government”. </span></p><p class="p8"><span class="s1"> Koichi Nakano, a politics professor at Sophia University in Tokyo, made a very telling statement: </span></p><blockquote><p class="p8"><span class="s1">“Shinto is not a universal religion, and it’s inherently nationalistic… I already felt rather uncomfortable when Barack Obama was taken to Meiji Shrine last time he visited Japan, and it would be no less disturbing to see the G7 leaders being used to legitimise Shinto, given its reactionary and nationalistic positions on so many issues.” </span></p></blockquote><p class="p8"><span class="s1">What is this obsession with shrines? Abe and his ilk want the shrines to be elevated as gods and the highest authorities in Japan, with the emperor being the ultimate shrine. It is why Yutaka Yuzawa, the director of the Shinto Association of Spiritual Leadership, of which Abe is the secretary general and almost all of his cabinet are members, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2015/04/28/japan-will-be-reviving-emperor-worship-and-is-going-to-be-reviving-its-imperial-empire-that-will-be-one-of-the-most-demonic-and-satanic-empires-that-christendom-will-ever-face/"><span class="s3">stated</span></a> that the Yasukuni Shrine — where Japanese war criminals are deified — is divine:</span></p><blockquote><p class="p8"><span class="s1">“It relates to our culture, history and tradition…<strong>To us, Yasukuni Shrine is a god.” </strong></span></p></blockquote><p class="p8">If you don't believe that there is Shinto fanaticism for the temples in Japan, watch this video of a Canadian being attacked by a group of Japanese Shintoists and then arrested by police for simply questioning the veneration for war criminals in the Yasukuni Shrine:</p><p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/zGQtiHBNWdw?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p><p class="p8"><span class="s1">The Ise Shrine, through the eyes of imperialist Japanese society, is the symbol of authority and political superiority. One of Japan’s most prominent postwar political scientists, Masao Maruyama, specified that the three types of political entities involved in the process towards despotism, which “serv[ed] to formulate not only the fascist period but the entire political world of Imperial Japan”, were the “Shrine,” the “Official,” and the “Outlaw.” Maruyama wrote:</span></p><blockquote><p class="p8"><span class="s1">“The Shrine represents authority; the Official, power; and the Outlaw, violence. From the point of view of their position in the national hierarchy and their legal power, the Shrine ranks highest and the Outlaw lowest. The system, however, is so constituted that movement starts from the Outlaw and gradually works upwards. The Shrine is often a mere robot who affects other people by “doing nothing” … The force that “holds aloft” the Shrine and that wields the real power is the Official (civilian or military). His rule over the powerless people is based on the legitimacy that descends from the Shrine. He in his turn is being prodded from behind by the Outlaw.” (See Victoria, Zen War Stories, part 1, ch. 4) </span></p></blockquote><p class="p8"><span class="s1">In other words,  tyranny is founded in the masses. The minister is given legitimacy by the shrine, or the spiritual authority, and in turn, this governmental official upholds the religious jurisdiction over the people, while the political authority is supported by the masses (the “outlaw”). In the cases of Japan, the “outlaw” encompasses the fanatic nationalists and militarists in the Japanese population who are voting for Abe and his party. Abe, in turn, is holding aloft the shrine by promoting it to the people and the world as being rooted in Japanese tradition. This is why Abe will frequent the Yasukuni Shrine and the Ise Shrine; he is holding them up as divine powers over the nation. In fact, Abe believes that his political success is due to a spiritual experience that he had in a Buddhist holy site.<span class="Apple-converted-space">   </span></span></p><p class="p8"><span class="s1">After a failed political career in 2007, Abe was told by an associate that he should make a religious pilgrimage to the Shinto Buddhist site of Kumano Sanzan, which consists of three temples that together enshrine three revered mountains. The three shrines are associated by worshippers with the three buddhas, “Amida-nyorai”, “Yakushi-nyorai” and “Senju-kannon”.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>It was in this pilgrimage site where Abe received ‘political rebirth.’ According to <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.reuters.com/article/us-japan-abe-specialreport-idUSBRE94N04020130524">a report:</a></span></p><blockquote><p class="p8"><span class="s1">Months after resigning in September 2007, Abe visited Kumano Shrine deep in the mountains of western Japan, known since ancient times as a place of healing and resurrection. Few thought then he would be politically reborn as one of the country’s most popular leaders.</span></p><p class="p8"><span class="s1">"It is said that if you make a pilgrimage there, you will be restored to life,” said one government source close to Abe. “I said, ‘Let’s go there and you will surely come back.’"</span></p></blockquote><div id="attachment_102347" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/pD112172817.jpg"><img alt="The Kumano Sanzan temple" class="size-large wp-image-102347" height="768" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/pD112172817-1024x768.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/pD112172817-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/pD112172817-300x225.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/pD112172817-768x576.jpg 768w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/pD112172817.jpg 1200w" width="1024" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Kumano Sanzan temple</p></div><p class="p8"><span class="s1">Abe’s conviction that his political “rebirth” was found in a shrine, is connected with what Maruyama wrote in his description of Japan’s descent to tyranny: the shrine gives the minister legitimacy; the minister upholds the shrine as the highest authority; the masses support the minister and thus will follow the shrine.</span></p><p class="p8"><span class="s1">The Japanese military chaplain, Sato Gan’ei, wrote that the purpose of religion in Japan was “to be an instrument of the state and an instrument of the Imperial Household.” He also wrote that the government allowed Buddhism to influence society “to ensure that citizens fulfill their duties [to the state] while at the same time preserving social order and stability.” (See Victoria, Zen War Stories, part 2, ch. 8, p. 151) I believe you will see the Japanese government, in the future, using Buddhism and Shintoism in a single amalgamated ideology to promote militarism, imperialism and genocide.</span></p><div class="mceTemp"></div><div class="h5ab-print-button-container"><div class="h5ab-print-button h5ab-print-button-left" style="cursor: pointer; color: #555"><i class="fa fa-print fa-2x"></i> <span>print</span></div></div><div class="sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled"><div class="robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing">
