Tojo Letter To American Public

------  Someone wrote this:  no idea who.    Here's the wiki page for Tojo:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hideki_Tojo
  ----------------------------
Listen up, American Public:
My resurrected form, Shinzō Abe, has been brilliant and effective in my PR to convince you to support us in rewriting our history during my administration. I appreciate your understanding that it is imperative for us to have a new Constitution so we will have no hurdles to militarize my country. You know, the current constitution is humiliating to us. We were glorious occupier in Korea, major
section in China and many other parts of Asia. We had comfort women, unlimited
access to our colonies’ free resources, and many prisoners as test subjects for
our biological weapons. With our F-15s and F-35s supplied/to be supplied by
you, our next rounds of Kamikaze strike will be much more effective. The fetal
error we made was Pearl Harbor event before we had a-bomb. Otherwise, it would
not be my descendants having annual Siren Days to commemorate Hiroshima and
Nagasaki, it would….. Well, let me stop here so I will not ruin Abe’s current
progress.
Other day, Abe went to Yasukuni shrine worshiped my colleagues. He renewed his vow to bring back glorious Imperial Japan. He said passing Secrecy Law was one of the major milestones in his goal. Abe also reveal a secret to us that it doesn't take much to convince American politicians. We all praised and blessed him and his great
efforts in revitalize our dream and glory.
Thank you America for your continued support!
Hideki Tōjō

Anti-China Rhetoric In News (10)

Headline: Japan vs. China: Tensions Rise and the Race to Arms Surges
URL: http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2014/01/04/japan-vs-china-tensions-rise-and-the-race-to-arms.aspx

My commentary:   This stock-hawking commentater is actually not
just anti-China, anti-Japan, anti-USA.  She's practically
anti-humanity, salivating at the prospect
of 2 billion people playing brinksmanship and potentially
ending in World War III including her own people, because,
...  she owns stocks in defense companies!

"Pivot to Asia", our current foreign policy, is the illicit
love child of the Japanese military right wing and
US's defense industry.  Made in Hell.

Wanted: two shrinks

This is not my favorite subject.
But I see it as necessary because
the wound festered for too long,
and not many people even understood
how it affected our history & cultural
consciousness.  I might as well
get it out and so that we may
get it over with, in my lifetime,
for all future generations.

--------------------------
My people have a seeping,
festering wound in our core.
On the shrinks' couch,
we relieve our hearts of
our woe.

We were turned against each
other by our neighbor's
sly diplomacy.
We were swindled by our
neighbor's sweet talk of
a shared past and future.
20 millions of us were murdered
and raped by the same
courteous and sweet-talking
neighbor.

We were told:
it was all our own faults.
We were weak, we were
ignorant, we were not
worthy of justice, we
were not worthy of friendship,
we were not humanity.

The perpetrators lived on
 in pride and denial,
while we wallowed in
trauma, anger, survivor's
guilt.   We distrusted the
world, and we blamed ourselves,
and we turned against our true friends.
We feared the monstrous modernity
that brought us so much pain.
We withdrew into isolation and
stayed isolated for 30 years.

We turned to ideologies to
salve our wounded souls.
We made choices that defied reason
and led to more suffering.

Our neighbor and our foe,
she laughed at us:
look at the Chinese, the
village idiot of Asia!
She cuts herself, she eats scraps,
She respects no friends;
she is dirty, uncouth
and ungodly!
I pitied her and gave her a dollar,
yet she spit on my face
for some ancient wrong...
she threaten me all the time.
and she's getting stronger...
really she deserves whatever
she got... not that I did anything
wrong!


We look at her pretty Kimono,
but we are not deceived.
Her voice is steady, but
she is afraid.
We don't need international court
for this ancient wound, though
it's still raw and seeps.
and though our neighbor wants
 to pour more salt on it.

We need 2 shrinks, one for us,
 one for our neighbor.  A shrink for
the survivors' pain, the other for
the guilty's conscience.

Someday we'll be ready to move on:
ready to heal our wound,
ready to trust again,
ready to make friends,
ready to find closure,
ready to build peace,
ready to forgive,
ready to take responsibilities
 for the common future.

It's a small world, no way
to avoid our coy neighbor
, her schemes and subterfuges.
We school ourselves to truth
and reconciliation.   We stand
by each other and our true friends.

Play Weiqi Kiddos, Stay Away From "Go"

Short background:  Weiqi is the ancient game invented in China and became very popular throughout Asia and goes by the name "Go" in Japan.   In western countries, it mostly go by the name "Go" and the terminologies are often translated from Japanese.   Here's a short answer why I could not let my children to learn "Go" terminology.



If my kids ask: "why was weiqi invented in China, but these terminology are
in Japanese?"

I'd have to say "well Japan and China were friends for a long long long time
, Japanese could quote poetry better than me and play weiqi better than me"

My kids would say: " why are you so bad at every thing?"

I'd have to say: "we kept getting axe-murderers trying to rob us, enslave us
 and kill us for 1000 years...  We had no time for these more refined
pursuits, kiddos"

My kids would say: "I like Japanese then..."
http://twodeeprivers.blogspot.com/2013/12/china-japan-400-1200-ad-800-years-of.html


I'd have to say: "hold on... Kiddo....  Actually we Chinese and Japanese had
 a fall out...  so we are hardly talking to each other any more..."

My kids would say: "What?  that beautiful lady from Japan?  so courteous and
 so sweet and looks just like mom!"

I'd have to say: "well kiddo, the beautiful lady from japan attacked us and
defeated us in 1895 and made us pay 2x our GDP for war reparations and
 took Formosa including Diaoyudao from us..."

My kids would say: "But that was 100 years ago man!  you still remember that
?"

I'd have to say: "well kiddo, it didn't stop there.   Then the beautiful
lady of Japan sent us 1000 ninja assassins to assassinate our leaders,  1000
 diplomats to instigate revolution in Russia/China/Korea, then took
Manchuria from us..."

My kids would say: "wow that's too bad...  but it's like 90 years ago!"

I'd have to say: "we thought so at the time too.   so we were busy picking
up pieces and rebuilding.   Shanghai and Yangtz delta in the early 1930s
 were quite an economical powerhouse..."

My kids would say: "great, the story is finally getting better..."

I'd have to say: "Actually, not so fast.   The thing is, the nice Japanese
lady felt threatened by the Chinese rebuilding"

My kids would say: "why? they got a lot from China!"

I'd have to say: "You see, they are scared that China being strong will make
 them give back their ill-gotten gains..."

My kids would say: "hmmm, so that's why you always
say don't take things that don't belong to you?"

I'd have to say: " Exactly kiddo.  But the beautiful
lady Japan doesn't think that way.   So instead of giving
back their ill-gotten gains, they invaded almost the
 entire China..."
http://twodeeprivers.blogspot.com/2013/12/china-japan-1895-1945-feud.html

Now it's my turn to tear up, remembering the 20
million dead bodies and raped women, bayoneted
babies, tortured POWs.  And wondering
how the hell am I going to explain all this to my kids...

My kids would then say: "but that was 70+ years ago?
surely we made up since then!"

Then I will have explain that to this day, the
government of Japan continues to play a game of
"deny-apologize-deny-apologize" with impunity,
claiming self-defense for all murders, rapes, sneak-attacks.
http://twodeeprivers.blogspot.com/2013/12/abe-honored-war-criminals-who-butchered.html

My kids would then say: "horrible... but it's the
government of japan not the nice people..."

I'd say: "good distinction... But the people elected
these politicians twice and supported their activities
mostly.  and the people are scared of kids like you."

My kids would say: "why? "

I'd say: "apparently because you are good at math..."
http://twodeeprivers.blogspot.com/2013/12/15-year-old-chinese-students-threat-to.html

My kids would say: "WHAT!!!!"

I'd say: "Nobody could understand it.  Maybe
they are afraid of the Chinese may be bent on
revenge?   So a little survival tips for you kiddo:
please don't play a weiqi game with the Japanese.
If you lose, you'll likely be used as a doormat.
If you win, you'll likely get a poisoned Fuji apple
packaged all in Japanese smiles."

That... IS WHY I could not let my Chinese kids to learn
 japanese terminologies of the ancient Chinese game Weiqi.
No people could get through that without deep PTSD,
without deep suspicion of basic human goodness.
I do not want my kids to learn a Chinese game yet
 be exposed to this kind of pain.

15 year old Chinese Students A Threat To Japan

http://www.japantimes.co.jp/community/2013/12/29/general/education-in-2013-an-a-for-ambition-but-japan-will-have-to-do-better/
"The education ministry finally seems to be waking up. Whether due to the
Olympic bid or the looming threat from China, for the first time in two
decades Japan appears to be moving to correct its inward-looking education
policies."

Apparently the ordinary Japanese felt threatened by
Chinese 15 year olds because they beat the Japanese
15 year olds slightly on some kind of math tests.

That is the Japanese mentality, full of deeply ingrained
anti-China xenophobia.

The big question is, how will Japan want to "defend" itself
from the test-taking Chinese 15 year olds?
The last time Japan felt threatened by China's prosperity,
it murdered and raped 20 million Chinese to send their
message "we Japanese are threatened by you Chinese,
we are going to your home to kill you in self-defense".

And they attacked Pearl Harbor with the same message.
"we Japanese are threatened by you Americans,
we are going to your home to kill you in self-defense".

Now their government is saying with straight-face,
"we love peace, we did murders and rapes
and sneak attacks in self-defense".

I think they should rest easy,
the way their government is going, their 15
year olds could one day shoot for the crown
 in nutjob category.

Unfathomable Mr Abe's Mind and Sweet Japanese Words

Abe honored the war criminals who
butchered Chinese civilians and 

American POWs, raped women, 
and launched pearl Harbor.   Then he turned

 around looking innocent and said, I 
want a peaceful Japan and may these 
"heroes" of our people rest in peace.

What does Abe and his right wing really
think about Nagasaki and Hiroshima?
Are they plotting to one day avenge it?

80 years ago, when the Japanese invaded China,

the Japanese spoke sweet courteous words 
to the Chinese elites.  Some of these elites
ended up by coercion and deception 
cooperated with the Japanese invasion.

Chinese couldn't trust Japanese.  

Millions of kids died and
millions of women died and Chinese families
died brutally.   The murderers turned 
around and smiled and bowed to you, 
saying, "I have some cute pretext....

the dead Chinese deserve it because....
besides, all the death did not happen...
it's just some vicious rumour...You are 

crazy".

The Chinese could not trust humanity after 

that, we turned against our best friends 
including the Americans because of 
rumours, we did not know who to believe.   
We did stupid things and chased hallucinations.
Classic PTSD.

At this point, Chinese and Koreans
are the only one who knew Japanese's
perfidy with heart and mind.   It makes
one despair of humanity.  That a people
could be so beautiful and so false and so evil.


We could never fathom the Japanese
mind like Mr Abe's mind.   But we could 
warn our American friends, that you 
may think you have an honorable friend
in Japan.    But if they elect someone 
like Mr Abe repeatedly to head their government
and scrap their pacifist constitution and 
journalistic freedom, you need to run
from this alliance, not walk.    I hope this
 warning will save American lives someday.

For People like Mr Abe and his supporters will NOT 
forget Hiroshima and Nagasaki and they
WILL blame America for it.   They are 
just biding their time before they have their
 revenge.

Work With China

12/25 was anniversary for the fall of HongKong to Japan's forces during the world war II and orgies of murders and rapes by the same forces.   The next day Mr Abe visited the shrine dedicated to the Japanese soldiers including class A,B,C,D war criminals.   He followed it with some cute remarks about his love of peace and the souls of the fallen resting in peace.

This from a man that denies South Korean comfort women's forced sex-slavery and Japanese aggression and murder of 20 million Chinese.    New York Times came up with an editorial calling for China and South Korea to talk to Mr Abe.

The Japanese is a courteous, meek and graceful people.   Until the moment they found a cute pretext to stab you in the heart.   Then they say "I feel deeply sorry...  Actually not so sorry at all...  But we love peace...  Don't think that thing happened....   "   Ad nauseum.

Talking to Mr Abe and his right wing constituents?  I simply can't think of a worse waste of time.  The Japanese elected this right wing leader with full knowledge of his inclinations and principles, if they think they will reap peace and prosperity, then they are as delusional as 80 years ago.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/26/opinion/work-with-china-dont-contain-it.html

I can't agree more.  Whose idea it was to pivot (to contain China) to Asia anyhow?
Generations of Americans reaching out to China to help three times, for which the
Chinese are incredibly grateful.

This goodwill is a lasting foundation for future peace,  let's not fritter it away.
