Subject: ANTISEMITISM = JAPAN To: ALL Date: 04/24 From: REVOLUTIONSOLUTION Time: 0:10 AM All through European history anti-semitism was the last refuge of corrupt and incompetent ruling classes. Whenever something went wrong (and it often did) those in power would simply blame it on the Jews and then allow the masses, whose ignorance was carefully cultivated by the ruling class, to direct their anger AWAY from the true culprits and TOWARD this small and powerless, but easily identifiable group. Even today, Jews are held as scapegoats even in places where their number is extremely tiny. In Japan, where the total number of native Jews is less than 100, none of whom hold any important position, six of the ten books recently on the Tokyo Times bestseller list were grotesque, anti-semitic tracts. In America, bestsellers tend to be self-help books, but in Japan HATE, not help, is the operative word. We already know how racist the Japanese ruling class is as hardly a week goes by when we don't hear of some business or government leader denouncing us Americans as being stupid and lazy, but now a more generalized hatred has seeped into the Japanese consciousness. It comes from the mid-East, from elements of the Saudi royal family as well as Iran, who use close trade links to mask their real agenda, which, of course, is the destruction of Israel. Japan buys most of her oil from the Gulf region and has long been the chief supplier of heavy machinery, electronics and other manufactured goods to these regimes. The Japanese, ever smiling and polite, will do nothing to threaten this close and strategic relationship, and will do everything to keep the practicioners of war and hatred happy. There may even be a connection between the rise of anti-semitism in Japan and the terrorist bombing that killed 19 American servicemen in Saudi Arabia last year. It is believed that a virulent Jew hater and mega wealthy member of the ruling family was behind it. He has financed many violent radical groups over the years and is an untouchable under protection of the royal family. This is why the authorities refuse to co-operate with our FBI investigating the bombing. But the Japanese seem perfectly happy to deal with him and his cohorts, while filling themselves with hatred, anti-semitic propaganda AND American dollars. Perhaps we were too hasty to let Japan off the hook in 1945. Perhaps Japan is showing her true colors again. Fathomless misery was inflicted on the People of Asia by Japan in the Thirties and Forties, the rape of Nanking, gross experiments on humans, including Americans, forcing Korean women to be "comfort women" each sexually servicing a hundred Japanese soldiers a day, and, of course, summary executions of whoever provoked the ire of the ruling class, lining them up against the wall and ruthlessly gunning them down. THIS is the modus operandi of Japan's ruling class. This is business as usual. When fascist nationalism proved unworkable to advance the interests of the Japanese ruling class, they switched to "liberal" capitalism which would get them what they wanted but without all the bad press. Those smiles reveal steel teeth and we can see Japan now starting to imitate her European forebears by blaming her ills on a cabal of Jews. It is only a matter of time before Japan again sponsors State Terrorism. Already, Japan gives aid and comfort to enemies of freedom all around the world. Any tin horn dictator who can make the trains run on time receives adulation in the Japanese media, and if one grows a little mustache the current Emperor, son of an ally of Hitler, will smile even wider and send him even more bucks. OUR bucks, to be sure, but hey, we've always bought Fords. =============== Reply 1 of Note 1 ================= Board: NEWS BB Topic: IN THE NEWS... Subject: ANTISEMITISM = JAPAN To: REVOLUTIONSOLUTION Date: 04/24 From: GEHT19A MARSHALL KIKER Time: 9:38 PM Just remember to resist (as was done in the Reagan administration) the call for Japan to take more of a military role in her own protection. Japan nor Germany should ever re-arm but look for it to be discussed. Germany is now in the process of coming to some kind of military understanding with France. I personally think the USA (the world's biggest arms seller) should lead the way in beginning a dialogue on an effective law BETWEEN countries backed by some kind of world authority and the scaling back of armaments all over the world. Starting (hopefully today) with a ban on chemical weapons. No country is immune to be- coming a bully if they have the power and the wrong leaders. =============== Reply 2 of Note 1 ================= Board: NEWS BB Topic: IN THE NEWS... Subject: ANTISEMITISM = JAPAN To: REVOLUTIONSOLUTION Date: 04/26 From: KSTC50D C LIBERTY WEST Time: 10:06 AM Rick, The Japanese aren't singling out Jews. They've always considered ANYONE the least bit different to be 'barbarians.' Recently, they finally recognized the Ainu, a Caucasian group in Japan as 'their's.' They Okinawans say the Japanese treat them as second class citizens too. There's a pharse in Japan which indicates their disdain for individuality: "The nail that sticks out gets struck." The prevailing attitude is that in such a crowded society, it is best not to stand out or create any trouble. It's a cultural thing and they are indeed sometimes the New 'Ugly Americans' in their treatment of other people. -Cass =============== Reply 3 of Note 1 ================= Board: NEWS BB Topic: IN THE NEWS... Subject: ANTISEMITISM = JAPAN To: GEHT19A MARSHALL KIKER Date: 04/27 From: REVOLUTIONSOLUTION Time: 8:24 PM Maybe we should have the chemical treaty. Then, at least, our soldiers won't be placed in harm's way by their commanders, (as in desert storm.) The security guard on the roof of the housing complex was praised for his actions in alerting SOME of the residents to the suspicious truck that just pulled up. He ran through the dorm banging on doors and alerted those on the top floor. Apparently, the commanders were so incompetent that they failed to install fire alarms or airhorns that would have alerted the WHOLE building IMMEDIATELY to the threat. 20/20 hindsight, of course, but no one else seems to have noticed this flaw. I wonder what else they haven't noticed. Beware of "world authority." The WORLD is even more screwed up than us. =============== Reply 4 of Note 1 ================= Board: NEWS BB Topic: IN THE NEWS... Subject: ANTISEMITISM = JAPAN To: KSTC50D C LIBERTY WEST Date: 04/28 From: REVOLUTIONSOLUTION Time: 8:56 PM There's a phrase in America which indicates our Yankee ingenuity: "a stitch in time saves nine." We look at the situation, anticipate the problems heading our way, and then "nip 'em in the bud." We know that anti-Semitism has been introduced into Japan by malevolent middle-Eastern forces and we know that the Japanese are eating it up, as evidenced by the bestseller lists. The Japanese are not just trying to learn about foreign cultures as the books are all anti-Jewish. Japan has decided on a course of hate and I'm sure you know where that can lead. We need to stand up to this evil and take actions that will let the Japanese know their hatred is unacceptable in Western society and if they want to continue to participate in our economy and reap its benefits they had better get off that thin ice PRONTO. =============== Reply 5 of Note 1 ================= Board: NEWS BB Topic: IN THE NEWS...

You know what happened to Jimmy Carter when he ran his campaign for human rights... While the Japanese my FEEL superior, the Chinese actually abuse people. How much are will willing to spend in 'straightening out' the rest of the world? Personally, I wish we had an invisible drawbridge around the U.S. and could live in peace... but we all know how impossible that would be! =============== Reply 6 of Note 1 ================= Board: NEWS BB Topic: IN THE NEWS...

I don't know where you live, but here in So. Cal, we've been having a civil war for the past 30 or so years. I don't even walk outside anymore at night without being illegally armed. Ahem. Sure, America IS the greatest country in the world, but it's sure ain't perfect. Rick, Your original note was very interesting and enlightning. Can you tell me more? Are the books you speak of in English too? Thanks. joe =============== Reply 7 of Note 1 ================= Board: NEWS BB Topic: IN THE NEWS... Subject: ANTISEMITISM = JAPAN To: KSTC50D C LIBERTY WEST Date: 04/29 From: REVOLUTIONSOLUTION Time: 11:01 PM We already have the Atlantic and Pacific moats. We should start using them, best protection there is. The Washington/Wall Street Axis doesn't care about human rights, as there is no profit in it. Sometimes I wish we can saw off the Northeastern U.S. and let it float out to sea, but you know what happened to Sen. Goldwater when he suggested that. Best thing to do is stick to our ideals and use the ideas in the Declaration of Independence as the model by which to judge the legitimacy of governments. Use it or lose it. =============== Reply 8 of Note 1 ================= Board: NEWS BB Topic: IN THE NEWS... Subject: ANTISEMITISM = JAPAN To: REVOLUTIONSOLUTION Date: 04/30 From: BRGD87E LEN KOOR JR Time: 4:17 AM Sir the shot heard round the world was fired in the Northeast. The ideals to which you alluded also were created in the Northeast. Your complaint has nothing to do with regional areas but human values and ideals which can be abridged in any part of this country. =============== Reply 9 of Note 1 ================= Board: NEWS BB Topic: IN THE NEWS... Subject: ANTISEMITISM = JAPAN To: VXRC11E JOE CHUNG Date: 04/30 From: KSTC50D C LIBERTY WEST Time: 12:40 PM Hi Joe, I can't remember who wrote "The Ugly Americans," but you can probably find it at the library. There's also a movie out by that name from the '60's. My point was that we in this nation, perhaps rightfully, perhaps not, feel that we have the best system going. Consequently, we have a penchant for thinking we need to right the ills of the entire world. That is not always appreciated. (g) We need to concentrate on our own problems before telling the rest of the world what to do, unless it directly affect US, in which case, we need to negotiate. -Cass =============== Reply 10 of Note 1 ================= Board: NEWS BB Topic: IN THE NEWS... Subject: ANTISEMITISM = JAPAN To: VXRC11E JOE CHUNG Date: 04/30 From: REVOLUTIONSOLUTION Time: 10:13 PM If you scrounge around you'll find plenty of anti-Semitic stuff in America. Sometimes a printing history will tell you if it appears in Japanese. I don't know how many of these books originated in Japan, but with the radical Arab connection, many probably were first in Arabic. But even Arab bigotry owes much to the German variety. =============== Reply 11 of Note 1 ================= Board: NEWS BB Topic: IN THE NEWS... Subject: ANTISEMITISM = JAPAN To: BRGD87E LEN KOOR JR Date: 04/30 From: REVOLUTIONSOLUTION Time: 10:14 PM True. Concord, Lexington and Bunker Hill are all in the Northeast. They are also all in the past. The average person in Mass. would deny our Right to keep and bear arms and use them against our current oppressor. I was just pointing out that the same elitist attitudes that Goldwater railed against are still with us. Liberals are human too, and as such are ready and willing to circle their wagons to keep out the lower classes. They have attained their little place in the sun and desperately don't want anyone rocking the boat. The Revolutionary Spirit is certainly dead in Cambridge, but only sleeping in Roxbury. =============== Reply 12 of Note 1 ================= Board: NEWS BB Topic: IN THE NEWS...

I wonder how many people have read it? I did. The title refers to the long, gangly bad looks of the main character, not to anything he does. JBS, Jr. =============== Reply 13 of Note 1 ================= Board: NEWS BB Topic: IN THE NEWS...

I got the message that it was saying that it's all in the perception: WE always think we're right, but other nations don't. -Cass =============== Reply 14 of Note 1 ================= Board: NEWS BB Topic: IN THE NEWS... Subject: ANTISEMITISM = JAPAN To: REVOLUTIONSOLUTION Date: 05/02 From: GEHT19A MARSHALL KIKER Time: 7:39 PM I agree that a 'world' authority is a scary concept and I also agree that most of the world is more screwed up than us. I do think though, that as time goes by and commerce becomes more global, a UN with teeth type organization is going to emerge if we want it or not. Money, as always, talks. Whether that organization is environmentally and socially conscientious is the biggest challenge facing democratic nations. Interesting, that from all appearances the dreaded (by most conservatives) European Union is kicking butt and southern Europe is beginning to dig out of its economic pit. It will be interesting to see how the individual nations deal with this new world order. =============== Reply 15 of Note 1 ================= Board: NEWS BB Topic: IN THE NEWS... Subject: ANTISEMITISM = JAPAN To: GEHT19A MARSHALL KIKER Date: 05/03 From: REVOLUTIONSOLUTION Time: 8:36 PM A United Nations with teeth would be like a shark with rabies. There are better things we can do with our ocean. What is most important is securing freedom and economic justice in America first, then the world. The global commerce you write of exists for the benfit of the economic elite. The system of multi-national corporations functions as a government in all but name. They OWN the government of whatever country they infest. There can be no justice as long as those now in power remain in power. We can see from NAFTA and trade with Asia that environmental and social conscience is NOT in play in the New World Order. Folks like Gore and Clinton may talk the talk, but they walk the Wall. Their ACTIONS are what's important. People are being abused and oppressed and the environment raped throughout the Third World because the multi-national corporations that own those governments so decree it. These corporations ALSO own Congress and the White House. The only legitimate authority for the World is our Declaration of Independence which says, clearly, that whenever ANY government abuses the Right of the People to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness it has invited a violent Revolution, and must suffer the consequences. It will be interesting to see how the new Labour government deals with the NWO. Many in Labour, like the Conservatives who crossed over to vote for them, oppose the European Union. Everyone wants to maintain their National sovereignty. I wonder if Blair will risk his office to embrace Clinton. =============== Reply 16 of Note 1 ================= Board: NEWS BB Topic: IN THE NEWS... Subject: ANTISEMITISM = JAPAN To: REVOLUTIONSOLUTION Date: 05/05 From: GEHT19A MARSHALL KIKER Time: 11:20 PM I agree with what you say - but I'm still convinced the multi-nationals will gradually do away with borders. The corporate wars. Interesting, but scary reading. If they ever get China on board (they may already have) there probably wont be any stopping them. What resistance that comes will have to be international and in the form of electronic guerilla warfare. Go after their computers. But then, the millineum bug may take care of that. Blair is an interesting character. More conservative than many think but then how else can anyone get elected these days? =============== Reply 17 of Note 1 ================= Board: NEWS BB Topic: IN THE NEWS... Subject: ANTISEMITISM = JAPAN To: GEHT19A MARSHALL KIKER Date: 05/06 From: REVOLUTIONSOLUTION Time: 10:05 PM They're getting China on board come July 1st when they gain Hong Kong and its six million freedom loving capitalists. Perhaps we'll see Hong Kong transformed from the "golden egg in the crown" to just another red cooked goose. OR we'll see all the riches and technical know-how and connections and smuggling skills of Hong Kong used by the all powerful Communist Party to put their program of the Four Modernizations, agriculture, industrial, scientific and MILITARY into high gear. Then their buddies on Wall Street will have an excuse to screw the American taxpayer out of more hard earned dollars to keep up. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Asia has an anthill mentality. All the People are trained to work for the well being of the State (whatever its economic particulars) and this attitude is now being exported to America, eagerly embraced by the corporations as they seek ever better ways to manipulate and control our population. Us exporting democracy to them? Forget it. Anything we hear like that is just a propaganda ploy devised by our ruling class to mask the fact that we are being turned into a regimented, conformist society that serves the Corporate State. Something unexpected is going to happen which will bring it all down, but we'll recover and prosper again. The millenium bug, computer viruses, the debt crisis, etc etc, will combine to strangle our rulers and liberate us. Maybe a few other things, civil or not. Blair is a fresh, pretty face and he figured out the way to power, but I'm not sure if the subdued, but not extinguished hard left will allow him to sell-out their interests. The Party rank and file may demand a little more than warmed over Tory mush and if Blair doesn't deliver, a mid-term, (or early term) leadership election a la the one that did in Thatcher in '90 will replace him with a more traditional Labourite. In this way he may be a Trojan Horse. Five years is a long term, plenty of room for maneuver. I love your idea about international electronic guerilla warfare, sounds easy as pie, with action at the fingertips of millions of independent warriors across hundreds of borders. =============== Reply 18 of Note 1 ================= Board: NEWS BB Topic: IN THE NEWS...
