Ayu Youkou,
Its understandable that Japanese had little knowledge of WW2 history...thats part of the deal the the Americans imposed on the Japanese...distort history and hide the truth to the younger generations...specially in regards to the Japanese WW2 War Loot or Booties/Yamashita treasures...
Thats why...am here to exposed and open the SECRETS OF YAMASHITA TREASURES....so that everybody will have the chance to recover these fabulous treasures...not only the few ELITE GROUPS...

First off you have a real distorted view of what Japanese learn as history in school and it has nothing to do with America. :eek:

2ndly if you are so damn sure that these so called "treasures" exist go find them yourself and make a billion dollars, THEN come back here and tell everyone what they missed out on.

You sound like one of those annoying spams that come across my junk box now and then about the $250,000,000 diamond mine that got willed to me and I have to send off $25.00 to recover. :giggle: . Now all I am waiting for is the "sales" pitch.

How gulliable do you think people here are?
 
I heard anti-government groups such as Maoist guerrilla are also haunted by the tresure story in your coutry.
Of course, it is not only in your country but even in Japan there are some haunted guys.
A kawaii manga in 2007
The caricatures are from a far-left magazine, liberation by Japan Revolutionary Communist League
Revolutionary Marxist Faction (日本革命的共産主義者同盟革命的マルクス主義派), not a tongue twister.
I know there are tons of anti-Japan or US media aound the world, but I am not sure how many German or Russian people would see bright light from Marx & Lenin now, though I am fully aware that the guys were great historical figures.

A good way for the exorcism would be to invite Chinese entrepreneurs to invest or just let them talk about what's now in China.
 
Obeika,

"First off you have a real distorted view of what Japanese learn as history in school and it has nothing to do with America."

Do you even have any idea what nationality I am to be asking me a question like this?

I'll save you the trouble of looking it up here is a link to my profile here, maybe that will help you out some.

HUmmm???

I often wonder how many treasures have all ready been discovered and recovered , but never reported. Let's face it, if you know you will have to possibly lose your find to the government altogeather, or most of it to taxes, why report it. There must be ways to hide your new found wealth , and yet enjoy it. I don't know, maybe by melting it down, maybe sneaking it out of the country. Just seems like there must be a few treasures already found that no one knows about and are still searching for in vain. Just a thought.

Obeika,

I challenge you regarding Japs WW2 History....bcoz I assumed that you know more Japanese history and its culture than me...
Question?....What do you know about japanese history that they taught in their school?
....Am I correct to say, that NOT ALL REAL WW2 HAPPENINGS have been taught in Japanese school...some have been intentionally erased in their history books?....Ex: Do Japanese admits their ATROCITIES IN WHOLE ASIAN COUNTRIES THEY OCCUPY?...how about Rape of Nanking...comfort women....was it mentioned in their history books?

Uncle Sam,
Lots of foriegn groups had already recovered Japanese buried treasure for several decades now...specially mining and construction companies....almost all buried treasures recovered are easily remelted and converted into gold minerals...to conceal and legitimize its true source...as simple as that...

There are still several hundreds small, medium, large and very large treasure sites all over the countryside...

These are our partial list of suspected WW2 Japs treasure sites...

What did I say earlier? Good luck, go for it, just don't expect people to get suckered into believing what you say here .

....Am I correct to say, that NOT ALL REAL WW2 HAPPENINGS have been taught in Japanese school...some have been intentionally erased in their history books?....Ex: Do Japanese admits their ATROCITIES IN WHOLE ASIAN COUNTRIES THEY OCCUPY?...how about Rape of Nanking...comfort women....was it mentioned in their history books?


Why in the world are you asking me this? This has absolutely nothing to do with your topic of attempting to find willing "sponsors" of your treasure hunt.

I ask you again, do you really think the people posting here are that guilable?

Your comments above have nothing to do with the topic at hand. Stay on topic or the thread will be locked/deleted. Also, please refrain from using the word "Japs" as some people may take offence. If you can type out a lengthy post like your list, then you have no excuse to be "lazy" and not type out the word Japan/ese.
 
Japs Flag Treasure
A Japanese actor bought a Japanese flag of a warship, Nagato, from an American for 1000man, about USD80,000, and donated it to a museum here.
The warship sank in Bikini Atoll after a post-war nuke test.

My father sold a small katata, he said it was the only heritage from his family, to a soldier when he was a kid. He is always proud that he spoke English and managed to sell it. When you find the big treasure, I hope you will buy all katana around the world and open your katana museum in your country.

Hellow...ding...dong...Am not asking you to fund my site....bcoz believe me...YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT ANYWAY...ok?

"First off you have a real distorted view of what Japanese learn as history in school and it has nothing to do with Americans"

You change again the topic Obeika....I challenge your comment simply bcoz...IT WAS THE AMERICANS AND THE JAPANESE GOV'T AFTER THE WAR...IMPOSED TO JAPANESE PEOPLE WHAT SHOULD BE WRITTEN ON HISTORY BOOKS....
Thats why...EMPEROR HIROHITO WAS NOT HANGED and JAPANESE SOLDIERS WAS NOT CONDEMMED AS BARBARIC FOR THEIR HORRIFIC ATROCITIES IN WW2 HISTORY...it was part of Americans and Japanese agreement that Japanese history in WW2 would be pleasant...meaning the real truth was hidden in young Japanese generation.

AND THIS THREAD IS ABOUT PART OF ....JAPANESE WW2 HISTORY.....that was SECRETLY HIDDEN BY THE JAPANESE AND AMERICANS for decades...

Rock Lee,

Tell the Maoist guerrilla in your country that Japan was more socialistic than any other countries, though there were tons of loopholes.

I don't know why Japan has never started any WWIII, if she had been distorted her history and she were the far-right winger govenment.
 
Pipokun,

Your "socialistic and Maoist views"...HAD NO RELEVANCE in WW2 War Booties thread...

Japan can't start WW3...simply bcoz they NO LONGER HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO DO IT...they can't even antagonize North Korea...its the other way around...

By the way....regarding distorted history....I have NOT YET heard any Japanese apology or compensation to the victims of rape in nanking...or comfort women...what do you think?
 
Official Development Assistance Q & A
Some people still misunderstand, if not misinformed, that Japanese ODA is used in export promotion and only profits Japanese companies. That was actually once true, from the 1960s up to the mid-80s, when Japan ODA financing contributed to promote its exports of businesses. During this period, most projects were tied to Japan, but things have since changed. It is therefore unfortunate that some people still confuse the old practice as still existing.

I know there are pros and cons about it, but people in your coutry is one of many countries who sees the Japan's post-war peace effort.
Interesting enough, South Korean news media reporting the BBC's poll does not mention about Japan at all.
 
Please refrain from typing in all capitol letters. It is bad net ettiquette.

Also, please stay on topic.

Otherwise this thread will be closed.
 
Pipokun and Mikawa,

I prefer to discuss on the topic of these thread...re Japanese WW2 War Booties....and not discuss about politics or economy in Japan anymore.

Interesting, you are the one that changed the course of the topic yourself.

Want to talk about WWII booty or supposed lost treasure? You need to use your head a bit and think about how much time and energy it would have taken Yamashita to dig and build the supposed fortifications that he did, oh and he also was running a war oh and don't forget he was also constantly moving around his headquarters as well.

Hmm where did he get the time to supposedly bury all that treasure he carried around with himself as well? You explain to me how he managed to build the structure in the picture included in the link below.

Did Lt. Gen. Yamashita bury tons of gold in the Philippines in WWII


Do you understand the term "taken with a grain of salt"?

However, so much of this tale of buried Japanese treasure hoards is suspect that a great deal of what follows must be taken with a large grain of salt.

Yamashita's gold
 
Back when I was teen-ager (about the time fire was invented...) I had a crazy friend who had forked out all his hardearned savings from his summer job to buy a spiffy new metal detector. He was certain he could use the thing to earn himself a fortune and convinced me to help him (hey, I was gullible at the time... blame it on "Goonies").

We set out deep into the treacherous wilds of northern Michigan, home to rabid squirrels and feral fauna of all shapes and sizes (well... most are pretty small and harmless but whatever). Searching for clues we eventually found the tiniest of audibles... "ping"... "ping"... Needless to say, we set ourselves to digging frantically, our fevered pace spurred by visions of hidden treasure. Two hours later... we found a rusted Campbell's soup can. Thus ended my short-lived career as a booty hunter (err...).:-)
 
(err...).:-)

Sounds about I feel everytime I buy lottery tickets, and the odds of "hitting" the lottery are probably just as good as someone finding any buried treasure in the Phillipine's :eek:
 
Why would anyone be interested in WW2 army boots?
In my case, I am interested in the cargo cult in Asia.
The treasure story is not necessarily the same as the cult, but there are some people believing the story. So this thread is quite interesting to hear first-hand opinions.
