Total insanity. I am in Tokyo and went to a public lecture on war with Russia and China. There were about 40 journalists, professors, and government officials in the room. I can tell you this much: The Western expats here in Japan HATE Russia and HATE China, and they want the USA and its allies to get over and done with those evil dictatorships. They have 100% confidence that the West will win WW3, no problem. They keep saying, Oh but it has nothing to do with the Russian people or the Chinese people. It is just Putin and Xi, those dictators must go! But you could see that hateful light in the eyes of the warmongers, who in reality want to hurt the Russian people and the Chinese people with endless embargos, sanctions, starvation, bombings, propaganda... the whole Western wrath. I do not see any way to repair the situation. Maybe it is just God or the way of human nature. We are too many humans on this tiny planet, and it is so easy for the West to destroy those last sovereign states and free people, kill or enslave their abled men, and take over their resources, their women, and their lands. Sounds brutal, but this is the painful insight I got from said public lecture on why we must quickly defeat Russia and China. Oh, and yes, they have established a NATO military headquarter in Japan. It is not fake news. It is very real.
Do you have any insight into the feelings of the Japanese people regarding Japan being involved in a war with China? I suspect that it might differ from what you heard at the warmongers’ meeting.
Not sure. There was this professor NAKANO, he was diplomatic. That said, he grew up in Geneva, studied in Oxford, Princeton, and Harvard. He is similar to all Japanese elites, who also studied in the West. They also enroll at state schools in Japan, but really, Japan is a US-colony. I don't think they grow brains of their own anymore.
You can check out this 30 Minute video. I was in Okinawa for about 3 years. Although the elderly folks are annoyed by our presence the younger folks(for the most part) aren't. The younger they are the more tolerant they are of the US Military. I truly hope they know what they're in for having the US as their, "Protector."
Yes, it seems as though the Allies beat the Axis forces but then adopted their practical methods of control. Since they did not directly adopt the ideology of the Germans and Japanese, the result was, as Chomsky and Herman called it, subfascism. All the brutality, but less requirement to believe. Instead, the US promotes its particular idea of democracy.
With the entire non-colonized world except the US in ruins after World War II, the powers that were in the US in the wake of FDR’s death decided that it would be just the thing to live Hitler’s dream. And live it they have. The neo-colonial US Empire has replaced all of the old European colonial empires, and the only serious problems left are Russia and China, which the US Empire thought it had under control, but did not. The aim of both of these conflicts is to destroy Russia and China, divide what’s there now up into easily controlled pieces, and then be, truly, THE FOREVER RULERS OF THE UNIVERSE. The Nazis who were executed after the Nuremberg trials would be as amazed as was the Kaiser thirty years earlier when the US went from proud neutral to crazed belligerent toward the end of World War I in about a month. It’s no wonder the Germans are all in on these debacles. They get to live the dream as well, albeit vicariously. I’ve been reading for years that the US Empire has finally had it, that it has overreached, that this is well and truly the end. I’ll believe it when I see an actually sane world community pry the nuclear button safely out of the cold, dead hands of the neocon loons who would clearly prefer nuclear winter to the loss of their delusional grandeur. Not holding my breath.
“…. Since they did not directly adopt the ideology of the Germans and Japanes….”
Uh no.
Jim Crow was already going on in the U.S. since the 1800’s - that following on mass plantation slavery of a Brian’s and deep level that never seen in Germany or Japan.
Even the African American troops in WWII fought under segregation imposed upon them by the U.S. Army.
The German laws against Jews were adopted from…..Jim Crow legal structures. The Nazus themselves openly credited the U.S. as being the inspiration for this.
So no the US did not adopt the German or Japanese practices. They were way ahead, is why.
It’s not in question. I used the term “absorbed” quite deliberately. Not “defeated”. Absorbed.
They used Nuremberg as a showcase, but did not actually de-nazify germany. And are now arming it as a proxy. They even absorbed the Nazi rocket scientists, and the entire nazi spy network in Europe.
They nuked japan as a display of power to the Russians and removed the emperor. but did not remove imperialist strains of japan. In fact previous japanese PM Abe was part of a Japanese natioanalist oligarchy. And they are now rearming iJapan against China and Russia.
They didnt defeat them. They absorbed them.
Which makes sense. I mean how likely is it they were fighting nazis because of jews when in fact they were practising Jim Crow apartheid at home. And ex slaves had to die in the thousands (civil rights campaigners) decades after WW II., in order to get equality in America. No they were not fighting to defeat the Nazis - just to lead and control them.
So no surprise, they have no problems with collaborating with Nazis in Ukraine.
Many German and Japanese “enemies” were quietly brought into service of US interests following World War-2. The fact that they were Nazis or Japanese fascists was irrelevant to America’s ruling elite. The same holds true today.
In a poll the citizens of Japan chose the USA as the greatest threat to world peace.
The popular song Sebonzakura proclaims Japan a peaceful nation. That never happens in the USA. War is a common topic in films, but this is always about losing a big war and how much it messes up your life. Shacks from the postwar period serve a reminder of the cost of all this. The popular song Road of Resistance is about opposing the attempts of the military to rise again. Near where I lived was a memorial with relics affected by the atomic bomb.
I had few conversations but the topic of how much they didn't like China came up. In Tokyo I saw a Shinto shrine that had a WWII torpedo on display. The military ruled Japan for hundreds of years and it was bad. The people don't want to go back to that.
The USA's greatest masquerade is pretending dictatorship is democracy. Unfortunately, a billion Westerners attend the same endless ball, wearing " We Save the World" stars and stripes masks for personal sanity... or is that ego?
Right now, the woke US military couldn't beat the North Pole Eskimos in a snow ball fight. Besides, hating Russia and China get you nowhere. I think Russia is fine and China needs to be watched. War will never be the answer.
It is a monocultural society that is very tightly knit and disciplined. They have no natural resources other than stone, trees, and fish. To maintain their standard of living they have to work their butts off to make quality goods other nations will buy. There is perfectionism in everything. My view is that they have nothing against foreigners, but it's so complex foreigners can't conform to the system no matter how hard they may try, and many don't try.
Japan was highly bigoted in the past but this is now totally uncool. South Korean TV shows and hiphop dance are very popular. They still don't like tattoos though. Gangsters do that.
Japan is great at absorbing foreign technologies and arts. This doesn't affect their core culture though. They have bands of cute girls playing the most earscorching heavy metal with the greatest skill. It takes a bit of getting used to.
Of all of the psychopaths stalking the halls of the US government, Bolton is one of the most odious. I can think of nothing positive to say about this rightly named, "maniac". Madder than any hatter in history and beloved by the MIC... Hopefully, he is fully vaxxxed and boosted.
The thought that kept coming back to me as I read your brilliant expose of the wonder of the USA foreign policy is this - one of the repeated reasons for Ukraine being admitted to NATO was that Ukraine is a sovereign country and they can do what they want to do and Russia’s concern about security is irrelevant. Well, as you nicely pointed out....what Ukraine can do, clearly, Cuba cannot. Hallelujah!
In the minds of John Bolton, Victoria Nuland and neocons of that low-order un-categorizable species, the assassination of JFK is likely viewed as a "defensive action, rather than an act of extreme aggression."
II bet Bolton is one of the "inner circle" who has been trusted with the real story of the JFK assassination. Because he would understand why it had to be done, of course.
The real story of how Fukushima was taken out would be much more devastating. Fukushima was a lesson to the Jap Empire not to stray off course from what the Zionist America - Demands. Period.
Most if not all the nuclear plants on the east coast are on a major fault line. By unhappy coincidence seawater cooling is used and fault lines just happen to be on the seacoast. But it saves loads of money. " Experts agree. Everything is fine!"
And California? What, lose all the charge capabilities for the pollution free EVs? Sacrilegious to even consider!
You bet, V LP. 'assassination of JFK is likely viewed as a "defensive action'...agrees this ol'mechanic/ wanna-be JAP [jewishamerikan princess] who decries the following claptrappery ...'The Who, How and Why of the JFK Assassination – 52(+8) Years On – Part 3 Makia Freeman ...In addition to rubbing the Nazis the wrong way, JFK also made an enemy of the Zionists. Thus, he was not more on the side of the Nazi arm of the NWO, or the Zionist arm of the NWO; he stood against the New World Order in its entirety, regardless of which faction was trying to seize power. JFK told David Ben Gurion, the Israeli President at the time, that he wanted US officials to inspect Dimona, the site, or one of the sites, of Israel’s stockpile of nuclear weapons. Nuclear Dimona is an open secret, despite Israel’s “official” policy of neither confirming nor denying whether they have nuclear weapons, and refusing to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Ben Gurion and the Zionists, naturally, did not like JFK’s position at all. You can see some of the history here (JFK from the 26-min. mark). Kennedy put heavy pressure on Israel, but after he was killed, LBJ became an eager Zionist friend. It is important to note that the most powerful family of the NWO, the Rothschilds, set up Israel from the start and still control it to this day. Famous Israeli nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu said in a 2004 interview that he believed Israel was behind the Kennedy assassination. In this video, murdered Libyan leader Gaddafi also believes the Dimona nuclear issue was the leading reason for the Kennedy assassination...
As with 9/11 and other deep state operations, there appear to be many elites who benefited from these events and most likely had a hand in their somewhere. But a lot of signals point at Zionists, Jewish and Gentile.
This is one of Washington's most flagrant and long standing hypocrisies and a big reason the world is in the mess we are in.
Everybody should read David Ray Griffin's book: Bush and Cheney, How they ruined America and the World . It is all about the "crazies in the basement" (Page 90), Bolton can be added to that list.
Bolton is like Blinken what ever he says the opposite is true .
Despots are very clumsy oafs as their lies become so detectable and transparent.
Actually, hypocrisy, like many other enactments of conflict, is a good basis for a deal. Hate (see above) is usually not, because hate is self-gratifying in itself. Haters can't engage in deals because they've already gotten their payoff, their money shot.
I’m totally against US Policy. Pollution is the result of US aggression. Pollution of water and land. How much longer are we going to be able to live in this utter insanity?
I love this line -"The point of highlighting hypocrisy is not that being a hypocrite is some special crime in and of itself, it’s to show that the hypocrite is lying about their motives and behavior, and to dismantle their arguments defending their positions." Because you know at least 50% of Americans, when the Cuba situation gets compared to Ukraine, will simply cry "That's WhAtAbOutIsm!" Maybe it's time to suggest that Whataboutism is not a bad thing; rather, it's an excellent strategy for inquiry.
I find it hard to believe that Cuba would agree to becoming ground zero in the Cold War between the United States and China. I do expect that Cuba would welcome economic development assistance from China, but not at the cost of being targeted by American missiles. Cubans have survived US sanctions for 60 years. They are not suicidal.

I can't say much about the mainland though.
With no small irony, the US has absorbed imperial japan and the German reich…..and continued their agenda of enslaving the rest of the world!
Yes, it seems as though the Allies beat the Axis forces but then adopted their practical methods of control.

"I mean how likely is it they were fighting nazis because of jews"
At the time the Jewish suppression was ostensibly unknown. The war was sold as self-defense against aggression, which it was.
Before the war the US govt quite openly supported the Nazis and their avowed intention to wage war on the Slavic nations.
In a poll the citizens of Japan chose the USA as the greatest threat to world peace.

You are forgetting they have automated missile systems, artillery and lots and lots of BOMBS!
Sounds a lot like the outward exhibition of mind control.
Japan has a high proportion of retirees. They have begun importing foreigners to do young people jobs like convenience store checkout.
It is a monocultural society that is very tightly knit and disciplined. They have no natural resources other than stone, trees, and fish. To maintain their standard of living they have to work their butts off to make quality goods other nations will buy. There is perfectionism in everything.

Everything, everywhere all the time is a zero sum no holds barred winner takes all game for the sociopath.
In his evil way, Bolton is actually sorta refreshing because he doesn't even pretend to bother to hide his sociopathy.
The thing about sociopaths is that they consider themselves to be normal and everyone else to be stupid.
The general principle of Gresham's Law ("Bad money drives good money out of circulation") applies to more than just monetary policy.
The arrogance of the federal government is exceeded only by its criminality.
Individuals like Bolton still having a platform to speak says a great deal about our society.
This is one of Washington's most flagrant and long standing hypocrisies and a big reason the world is in the mess we are in.
Everybody should read David Ray Griffin's book: Bush and Cheney, How they ruined America and the World . It is all about the "crazies in the basement" (Page 90), Bolton can be added to that list.
Bolton is like Blinken what ever he says the opposite is true .
Despots are very clumsy oafs as their lies become so detectable and transparent.
One minor point: While it is true that John Bolton is a professional psychopath, he would do it for free, if necessary.
Well played
Their hypocrisy is outstanding, thank you Caitlin for outlining this.
Actually, hypocrisy, like many other enactments of conflict, is a good basis for a deal. Hate (see above) is usually not, because hate is self-gratifying in itself. Haters can't engage in deals because they've already gotten their payoff, their money shot.
How dare they surround our bases with their country!!!!!
And conduct naval exercises in the China Sea!
I’m totally against US Policy. Pollution is the result of US aggression. Pollution of water and land. How much longer are we going to be able to live in this utter insanity?
Let's see ...China in Cuba is not allowed but NATO in Ukraine is ok ...hmmm.

I believe that whataboutism was coined as a deliberate move to make opposition to hypocrisy uncool.
Indeed. There are even aphorisms/proverbs we have for it. "What's good for the goose is good for the gander," for instance.
I find it hard to believe that Cuba would agree to becoming ground zero in the Cold War between the United States and China.
