In the previous posting (26-1), I introduced the news that Russia returned Zuisho Maru, a Japanese fishing boat, to Japan (See Note 1). But Russia again returned another fishing boat to Japan (See Note 2, 3).

But, what do you mean by the word "hook-line-and-sinker" ? I didn't find this word in my English Japanese dictionary.

Click to expand...

This is a metaphor which draws upon fishing for imagery. A fisherman attracts fish with bait, which is attached to a hook, suspended by a fishing line and submerged by a sinker.

To say something has been taken "hook, line and sinker", then, means that a person has overenthusiastically accepted an argument - and generally a dishonest or sophistic argument. In other words, it is to completely buy into a sales pitch. To fall prey to a scheme. To allow oneself to be duped by a charlatan.

I see.

By the way, I often post suspicious opinions. But I don't think I'm a charlatan, because I'm just an ordinary person and because I don't argue that I'm a professional.

Oh, I don't personally have an opinion regarding whether or not you're a charlatan or a con artist or whatever. I apologize if I gave that impression. I can say, however, that I think some people find your theory here a bit hard to swallow because it all seems so fantastic and there doesn't seem to be much hard evidence. The thing about the human brain is that it likes to find patterns. And if it wants to find a pattern in random static badly enough, it will tend to be able to convince itself that the pattern is there. This is why hard evidence is important.

I may use irrelevant words.

Sorry. As I wrote before, I'm not a native English speaker. So, I often choose inappropriate words and phrases.

I usually write comments, consulting English dictionaries. Yet I often fail to find appropriate words. Particularly on sensitive issues, I may use irrelevant words. In such cases, I'd like to apologize in advance.

For me, colloquial expression is harder than formal expression.

I occasionally hate myself for writing somewhat groundless comments one after another. To tell the truth, sometimes I'm not sure whether my opinions are correct or not. So, I really hope that everyone who reads my opinions will judge my hypotheses just according to his or her ideas.

Japan's Conspiracy (27-3)

Japan's Conspiracy (27-3)

=== harakiri aesthetics ===

We frequently hear the word "suicide bombing" in the news. Even on some TV programs, we occasionally hear this word used as a metaphor.

Japan has a unique philosophy called "harakiri aesthetics". I thought that most Japanese and some pro-Japanese foreigners knew harakiri-related culture well.

But I have recently known that some Japanese and few foreigners understand this philosophy. So, let me explain about the philosophy a little, though it is too much to well-informed Japanese. For some time in the past, I was a typical "ideal Japanese". And I know so well how Japanese bureaucrats feel.

<< HYPOTHESIS >>

1. I think that Vice Defense Minister Takeaki Moriya is an excellent bureaucrat. If I had been him, I would have done the same thing. Mr. Moriya invented the knockabout in the Defense Ministry and the defense minister and the prime minister simply acted and spoke according to the scenario.

2. The scandal in the defense ministry had an impact on the Japanese politics. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe replaced the defense minister. Shortly after that, the Abe administration lost the Upper House election.

3. Once again, the leadership of the prime minister is questionable. Was the replacement of the defense minister a failure? Is Prime Minister's leadership in question? The government did need some scapegoat. Then, the vice defense minister, a person in the turmoil, got an idea of resignation.

4. The important difference between excellent bureaucrats and ordinary bureaucrats begins here. The outgoing vice defense minister thought of the way of resignation as his final, biggest and best contribution to the central government.

He was obsessed with how to boost the approval rating of the Abe administration. His conclusion was as follows.

He raises an ugly quarrel with the defense minister about his own dismissal. The minister is calm but cannot control the turmoil. Finally, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe intervenes and makes a courageous decision like a knight on white horse.

5. There have been quite a many similar cases, but now I remember only one case. It is a political knockabout over the replacement of the then Foreign Minister Makiko Tanaka in January 2002. As far as I know, this kind of knockabout began there.

(1) the facts about Ms. Tanaka's dismissal (See Note 1)

From April 2001 to January 2002, Tanaka was the first female foreign minister of Japan, but was fired from the cabinet after making remarks critical of Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi.

In September 2001, Ms. Tanaka inadvertently leaked classified information of the US to journalists just after the 9/11 attacks. But Mr. Koizumi failed to dismiss her and the scandal lingered.

In January 2002, Ms. Tanaka antagonized the then vice foreign minister over the participation of some NGOs to the Afghanistan Reconstruction Conference. She also quarreled with Mr. Suzuki, Chairman of the Lower House Committee on Rules and Administration.

On January 29th, 2002, Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi dismissed all the three persons all together.

From February 17th to 23rd, 2002, President Bush officially visited Japan, South Korea, and China. He had postponed this visit due to the 9/11 attacks (See Note 2).

(2) the aim of the knockabout replacement

After the 9/11, some people looked at Japan suspiciously. Mr. Bush finally decided to visit Japan. Japan wanted to avoid a serious debate. Japan tried to convince the Bush administration that there were no alternative prime minister other than Mr. Koizumi.

Mr. Koizumi replaced problematic politicians and plunged stock prices (See Note 3) and his own approval ratings just before President Bush's visit.

He emphasized a Japan in turmoil. But he absolutely had to avoid people's impression that he made an arrangement for Mr. Bush. So, he staged the political knockabout.

In Japan, performance of politicians and bureaucrats is always conducted following some scenarios. Those scenarios are made for making arrangement in favor of its counterpart and for letting people feel that Japan never bows to its counterpart. This is the root cause of the elusive politics.

6. the aim of the knockabout this time

This time, Defense Minister Yuriko Koike was called to the US and the head of the leading opposition party, the Democratic Party of Japan, Ichiro Ozawa, was called to the US Embassy in Japan.

The current situation is very similar to the situation in which the then foreign minister was replaced in 2002.

This time, former Defense Minister Fumio Kyuma was replaced with Yoriko Koike due to a slip of the tongue. The vice defense minister was replaced due to internal bickering.

This time again, arrangement was made in favor of the US and few people felt that Japan bowed to the US.

Stock prices fell again (See Note 4). The world would think that Japan is in turmoil and that it could really be a disaster to force Japan into a corner. Japan really hopes so.

Japan's Conspiracy (28-1)

Japan's Conspiracy (28-1)

===="I love you." is an artful excuse.

It is natural for a man to say to his girlfriend, "I love you." But, when we think about it carefully, we find that it is a well-made expression. He says it in the present tense. Therefore, however he loved another woman yesterday, or he will love another woman tomorrow, the man will be able to say, "I didn't tell a lie."

On the contrary, if the man once says, "I love you forever," he bears the risk of being accused of telling a lie or betraying his girlfriend.

So, a smart man rarely adds the word "forever".

But, if the man who once said, "I love you forever," changes his mind, loves another woman or gets divorced, what will happen to him?

Naturally, he will be regarded as a betrayer and will lose credibility.

The same thing happens in the social agreement. But, on this point, Japan made a mistake in the past. The mistake is a really serious mistake for some people, but is a major relief to others.

It is Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution.

---

Article 9:
Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes (See Note 1).

---

Japan forever renounces war and use of force. If Article 9 of the Constitution is devised as the Abe administration hopes, Japan's credibility will come into question. Then it will be meaningless to read the Constitution carefully, because it can be changed into any kind of Constitution at any time.

But the real problem doesn't stop there. The Japanese military understands the circumstances and orchestrates a conspiracy of dominating the world without the use of force. It can be easier to defend a frontal attack, but not easy to defend a conspiracy in the seamy side of the world, let alone a large-scale conspiracy by a country.

Japanese politicians and mass media make little reference to the issue. Most Japanese are unaware of the conspiracy. The Constitution would be revised in the confusion at the moment, for sure. But, if Japan crosses the line, it would never be able to come back as a leading advanced country.

Japan's Conspiracy (28-2)

===="I love you." is an artful excuse.(2)====

In the previous posting, I said that if a man promises his girlfriend he will love her forever, he bears the risk of being accused of telling a lie or betraying her. However, there can be yet some tricky loopholes.

(1) Female helpers can be employed as necessary.

(2) The range of work for the helpers will be decided later.

(3) If neighbor females are in trouble with their household burdens, or in emergency, I can help and support them. I always think about my wife.

(4) Criteria for the help and support are set later.

These four clauses above are figurative expressions for part of the constitutional amendment proposed by the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (See Note 1, 2).

The constitutional amendment proposal doesn't delete nor revise the war renunciation clause. But it adds some clauses. I compared the political agenda to the agenda of a womanizing man and I put figurative expressions above, because it is easier to read the figurative expressions to understand the major point of the constitutional amendment.

If a man tries to make such a promise to his wife, he will get a slap for sure. It is apparent that these clauses presuppose some romance.

On the contrary, when it comes to the Constitution, things go on smoothly. It's strange.

I've read the amendment proposal carefully for the first time. Mass media rarely show the full text or rarely give an explanation of the amendment. Even in the Internet, it is confusing, because vertically written Japanese context is expressed horizontally on the web site. Some may misunderstand. I think few Japanese understand correctly.

The basic idea for Japan's Constitution and laws is similar to the figurative analogy below.

"Now that I love you in my mind, I never betray you whatever I do."

Once the Constitution is amended in this way, Japan will be able to forge a military alliance as it did with Italy and Germany before World War II.

It's scary.

Japan's Conspiracy (29-1)

Japan's Conspiracy (29-1)

=== North Korea and a Mongolian sumo grand champion ===

Asashoryu, a Mongolian sumo grand champion, has been bullied by the Japanese mass media for more than a month. This time, it is unusual. It smells of conspiracy.

I examined the news. Then I found a conspiracy related to North Korea. But I'm no more surprised. I'm already bored with such a conspiracy.

=== time line ===

from July 10 to July 17 Japanese Crown Prince Naruhito visited Mongolia (See Note 1).

July 19 N. Korea warns Japan of consequences if it presses abduction issue (See Note 2).

July 20 North Korea's second-most senior leader, Kim Yong-nam, arrives in Ulan Bator (See Note 3).

July 22 Mongolian yokozuna (sumo grand champion), Asashoryu, wins battle of yokozuna, 21st title (See Note 4).

August 1 Sumo champion suspended for playing football while 'injured' (See Note 5).

Since then the Japanese mass media began to criticize Asashoryu day after day.

August 6 Asashoryu nearing depression (See Note 6)

August 9 Mongolian president to attend SCO summit (See Note 7).

August 22 Japan Sumo Association won't allow Asashoryu to return to Mongolia (See Note 8).

=== Hypothesis ===

In the past, the relationship between Mongolia and North Korea was strained. But the two countries have boosted their bilateral ties (See Note 9). Japan lost control over North Korea. Japan was confused. North Korea's second-most senior leader visited Mongolia. Japanese Crown Prince visited Mongolia and Mongolian sumo wrestler won the tournament. For all the efforts Japan has made, Mongolia went to SCO and North Korea. Then, Japan began bullying Asashoryu.

Japan's Conspiracy (29-2)

Japan's Conspiracy (29-2)

=== the strange relationship between Japan and North Korea ===

In the previous topic, I talked about the relationship between Japan and North Korea. Once again, suspicion appeared.

In the Seoul National Capital Area, there are 27 bridges across the Han River. One of the bridges, the Seongsu Bridge, collapsed on October 21, 1994 (See Note 1). On the very day, the US and North Korea signed an important agreement on nuclear issues in Geneva.

=== chronology ===

North Korea accedes to the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) in 1985. North Korea announces its intention to withdraw from the NPT in 1993. In response, the US declares sanctions. The relationship is strained at once. On June 15, 1994, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter negotiates a deal with North Korea in which Pyongyang confirms its willingness to ﾂ"freezeﾂ" its nuclear weapons program and resume high-level talks with the United States (See Note 2).

Everything seems to go well, but leader of North Korea Kim Il-sung suddenly dies on July 8. Some believe that he was killed (See Note 3). His son, Kim Jong-il, succeeds Kim Il-sung. North Korea again reaches an agreement with the US on the nuclear issue on October 18. The signing ceremony is scheduled for October 21st. On the day of signing, the Seongsu Bridge collapses.

==

To tell the truth, I happened to find this topic when I tried to investigate the collapse of I-35W Mississippi River bridge in Minneapolis. Let me talk about how I reached this topic.

=== Hypothesis ===

Japan had no patience for North Korea's embarkation on a new opening to the West. North Korea was the last bastion of Japanese colonialism. Japan was afraid of losing its clout in the Korean Peninsula. Unified Korea would surpass Japan in the future.

If the death of Kim Il-sung had been Japan's conspiracy, there would have been many things which explain a lot. The date has nothing to do with historical chronology. But, on that day, Naples summit opened. Chiaki Mukai went to space. She was the first female Japanese astronaut who had ever gone to space. Leaders of developed countries were confused. The date would have been the perfect time to draw people's attention away from the conspiracy.

Japan's Conspiracy (29-3)

Japan's Conspiracy (29-3)

=== Japan-Palau Friendship Bridge ===

I found this story while I examined the collapse of I-35W Mississippi River bridge in Minneapolis. This bridge is well-known for its collapse.

=== chronology ===

In 1914, Japan invaded the islands, then formally took over under the Treaty of Versailles after the WWI German defeat (See Note 1).

In 1944, the US forces fought the Japanese forces to capture an airstrip on Peleliu, an island in the island nation of Palau, during WWII. The battle cost about 13,000 lives on both sides (See Note 2).

In 1947, Palau became a UN trusteeship, administered by the U.S. (See Note 1).

In 1977, a balanced cantilever prestressed concrete box girder bridge with a main span of 240.8 m and total length of 385.6 m (1265 ft) was built by Socio Construction. It was designed by Dyckerhoff & Widmann AG (German construction company). It was called "Koror-Babeldaob Bridge" (See Note 3).

In 1994, the UN terminated the trusteeship. Palau attained independence (See Note 1).

On September 28, 1996, Koror-Babeldaob Bridge collapsed (See Note 3).

In 1997, its construction began by Kajima Corporation, a Japanese construction company, and was completed in December, 2001 (See Note 3).

=== Suspicions ===

1. Quite a many Japanese web sites explain the collapse of this bridge. But, as Wikipedia explains, most of the explanations are false and exaggerated. Their criticism against South Korea smells of hidden intention. There are many web sites that blatantly express false information in Japanese particularly with regard to certain countries. Japan has had such history for many years. Japan knows that false written information becomes the evidence of history in the future, because there will be less evidence that can be used to vindicate the truth in the future (See Note 4).

I began to investigate the collapse of the Seongsu Bridge in Seoul when I read the false Japanese information on Palau.

2. The climate is rather calm in Palau. But a gust occasionally blows. According to the Guam observation point, the nearest observation point to Palau that offers weather information in the Internet, the strongest wind last month was 51 mph. Under these circumstances, it is natural that a bridge which gradually erodes collapses during storms or typhoons. It is unusual that such a bridge suddenly collapses on an ordinary day (See Note 5).

3. The name of the new bridge is too good to be true. It is unusual for a donor nation to be pleased to see its name in the name of the new bridge.

4. I don't think that the collapse of Palauan bridge have anything to do with the collapse of the bridge in Seoul.

5. Before the collapse of the KB Bridge, JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) carried out an inspection. It cannot be denied that Japan is also responsible for the collapse. Since Palau's independence, Japan's influence has been increased.

6. At that time, Japan was eager to show the power of the Japanese construction industry. South Korea was catching up Japan in some industries. Japan had a motive for the conspiracy (See Note 6).

7. September 28, the day of the collapse, was the date, 13 days after the amphibious operation in the Battle of Peleliu, when fierce battles were fought between the US and the Japanese forces (See Note 2).

8. The Palauan national flag is very similar to the Japanese flag (See Note 1).

I have already mentioned that there are quite a many Japanese who express anti-Korean comments in the Internet. I'm Japanese, but I'm not necessarily anti-Korean. I'd like to be pro-foreign Japanese because I don't want to be regarded as a person who hates foreigners.

I didn't dare to refer to the stone monument as I thought it lacked authenticity.

Japanese are good at fabricating evidence and history. Let me put comments on some outstanding monument as an example of such fabrications later.

It is regrettable that many foreigners as well as Japanese are deceived by such tricks.

It is not cared that you innocently write the plot of Japan.
It is not cared to write by the imagination.
However, the lie is bad. It exceeds the range of the imagination.





Do you know this book?many European people believed the rumor "The Jew is plotting the world domination".The Protocols also became a part of the Nazi propaganda effort to justify persecution of the Jews

today, they produced Film "Nanking" repeats the same words, "Rape of Nanking is Forgotten Holocaust. Though Japan invaded China, raped women and murdered 300,000 Chinese, Japan never admits this war crime and Japan never apologize to China."........................................................................
they excuse This documentary film is not an anti-Japan film but an anti-war film."...........................................................................

This Rumormonge spreads on worldwide....

Japan's Conspiracy (29-4)

Japan's Conspiracy (29-4)

=== A glorious battleship of the Japanese imperial navy ===

In the previous posting, I talked about the Japan-Palau Friendship Bridge. Many websites say that Koreans built the bridge. But their comments are untrustworthy just because they are Japanese and just because they say in favor of Japan.

Japanese know that they will be bullied in their society if they say in favor of foreigners such as Koreans, Chinese, Americans and British. There are few people who talk back like me because they know they will be ill-treated by their employers.

The international community may think that most Japanese spontaneously behave that way. This misunderstanding contributes to the hidden suppression of free speech. The trick is so subtle that they are doubly guilty (See Note 1).

This time, let me show one understandable example of fabrication.

Yamato and her sister ship Musashi were the largest, heaviest, and most powerful battleships ever constructed, weighing 72,802 tons at full load (See Note 2). There are many things to talk about this ship. But the problem is the location where she sank (See Note 3).

Since 1945, it has been said that Yamato sank near Tokunoshima Island. The Battleship Yamato Memorial Tower was erected in April 1968 on Cape Inutabu, located in the southwest part of the small island of Tokunoshima (height; 24 meters, See Note 4, 6). Most Japanese websites give almost the same information. I don't know a nation where people are so indifferent to the facts except Japan.

Once I made a complaint to the local worker about the falsification of important information. He said, "It's OK. Japan is a country of myth." I am surprised at Japanese anachronism. They don't distinguish mythology from historical facts. For them, not the facts but what others say is important.

The wreck of Yamato was discovered and explored with an underwater submersible in 1985. Today Yamato lies at 30-22 N, 128-04 E in the depth of 1.410 feet about 50 miles southwest of Kyushu, Japan (See Note 5).

=== not a simple mistake ===

1. On April 1945, Yamato was dispatched to Okinawa for her final mission. But she was already chased by American submarines. The Japanese codes were deciphered by the US navy. The US navy staged a fierce attack on Yamato off the southwest coast of Kyushu Island. She sank there. She didn't reach the sea area off the coast of Tokunoshima Island (See Note 2).

2. After the wreck of Yamato, it was easy to identify her location because the US navy had the accurate information (See Note 2).

3. The mushroom cloud of Yamato was seen from Kagoshima, the southern part of Kyushu Island, which is 200 kilometers from the site (See Note 2).

4. More than 200 Japanese sailors on Yamato survived. They knew the location of the wreck site (See Note 2).

5. In 1985, the location was announced. But I think that it was announced just because it became possible to explore the reck due to the development of submarine technology (See Note 5).

6. The government couldn't inform the people about the wreck of Yamato, the flag ship of the Japanese Combined Fleet off the coast of Kyushu Island. So, the government built the memorial tower on Tokunoshima Island. I know their excuse. They would say, "Yamato sank off the coast of this island for sure." They are eager to let the people think that Yamato sank near Okinawa Island.

For all the facts, many Japanese still give misleading information. The memorial tower still stands on Tokunoshima Island as a tourist destination. Far from it, the town in Tokunoshima is collecting contributions for the reconstruction of the monument (See Note 6). Once things are determined, it is almost impossible for the government to change policies. Politicians often cry for "reform", but in reality little has been changed since the end of WWII.

Foreigners may say, "Japanese are yes-men. They don't argue once things are determined." But most Japanese don't think so. This ignorance about themselves is the root cause of Japanese problems.

Japan's Conspiracy (29-5)

Japan's Conspiracy (29-5)

=== China is beyond and above Japanese argument. ===

There are many Japanese websites that slander the Korean construction industry. But they don't reflect major Japanese opinions. In Japan, many people are mobilized to manipulate public opinions and opinions in the Internet are not the exception (See Note 1).

This time, I talk about the problem later. Let me introduce a Chinese skyscraper under construction. This building surpasses Japanese argument against a leaning building.

=== Competition between Japan and South Korea ===

Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur is the second tallest building in the world (See Note 2). These towers were completed in 1998. The twin towers, with 88 floors, rise to 452 m. It was surpassed by the Taipei World Financial Center in 2003.

The structural engineer for the Petronas Towers was Thornton Tomasetti and Ranhill Bersekutu Sdn Bhd of Malaysia.

In an unusual move, a different construction company was hired for each of the towers, and they were made to compete against each other. Eventually the builders of Tower 2, Samsung Constructions (the Construction Division of Samsung Corporation), Kukdong Engineering & Construction (both of South Korea), won the race, despite starting a month behind Tower 1, built by Hazama Corporation (Japan), although Tower 2 ran into problems when they discovered the structure was 25 millimeters off from vertical (See Note 2).

<> I'm not sure why Wikipedia provides this information only on its English site. But I examined the leaning problem of a skyscraper a little.

1. A surface of a building can be hotter than another surface by more than 10 degrees C due to the strong sunshine. There can be some thermally expandable deflection. Strong winds and earthquakes could shake a building even a little. So, leaning of 25 millimeters would be negligible. Such minor leaning can be modified during the construction by adjusting the thickness of the surface concrete.

But Japanese websites invariably slander the Korean construction company (See Note 1).

=== A Chinese skyscraper under construction leans more than the Leaning Tower of Pisa. ===

But a novelly designed skyscraper in Beijing blew away the minor claims. A headquarters building of CCTV (China Central Television) is under construction. This building leans more than the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It is not a mistake. Its leaning is part of the whole design of the building (See Note 3).

While Japanese slander Koreans, Chinese rise above the controversy. This situation starkly reflects the political and economic circumstances among the three countries.

I asked this problem to an architect. He is particularly an expert about machinery design in building.

He replied as follows.

There is no criteria about the leaning limit of a building according to the Japanese building code. But some architectural institute of Japan sets the limit as 1.5/1000. According to this figure, the leaning allowance would be nearly 70 cm.

The building process is similar to making a building replica with wooden blocks. Sometimes the building leans. And each time we adjust the location of the next wooden block. Then we can continue to pile wooden blocks one after another.

Broadly speaking, the building process of skyscrapers is similar to piling wooden blocks.

Not only to keep the building upright but also to keep floors horizontal is important. During the construction, floor leaning is also adjusted.

So, in the construction, the margin of error in the Petronas Twin Towers would be negligible.

In reality, such margin of error or allowance of error is determined in the construction agreement in advance between the owner and the construction company.

But the real problem occurs on the machine equipment such as high speed elevators. But leaning of the tower has nothing to do with the vertical straightness of the elevators if the errors are negligible.

Japan's Conspiracy (30-1)

Japan's Conspiracy (30-1)

=== semantic manipulation ===

There was a bribery scandal between a bureaucrat and an entrepreneur. The bureaucrat said, "He is my relative. So, I accepted his gift."

The next news ; "He is my cousin."

The next news ; "His wife is my cousin."

The next news ; "His wife is my wife's cousin."

The next news ; "His common-law wife is my wife's cousin."

The next news ; "His ex-common-law wife is my wife's cousin."

The next news ; "His deceased ex-common-law wife was my wife's cousin."

The comment changed one after another (See Note 1).

Some people say he told a lie, but others say he didn't. Then, what is the problem?

The problem is that his comment lacks critical information in terms of communication.

For example, at the news,

1. Two animals ate food at Disneyland.

2. Two men ate dinner at Disneyland.

3. A Japanese man and an American man ate dinner at Disneyland.

4. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and US President George W. Bush ate dinner at Disneyland.

5. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and US President George W. Bush discussed North Korean issues.

These different news represent the same problem.

There are quite a many dubious news in Japan. They sometimes seem to be true, but often seem to be untrue.

They lack critical information, sometimes intentionally.

This kind of manipulation is not done only in the news.

Semantic manipulation is often seen even in the more important cases.
