Japan's Conspiracy (14)
ﾂ?｡ Meditating Terrorism in 1985
In the former posting No. 13, I analyzed the bombing of an Air India Flight 182 in 1985. But I found that the story didn't stop there.
ﾂ?｡ Summary of No.13
1. Investigation on terrorism is now a controversy in Canada.
(1) Continuing ﾂ"gaping holesﾂ" in Canada's security arrangements are revealed at an inquiry into the 1985 bombing of an Air India flight from Toronto. (Economist 2007/06/14)
2. This day (June 23rd) was the day when the Japanese super commander Mitsuru Ushijima committed suicide and the headquarters of the Japanese army finally collapsed according to the Japanese official record. Originally, the Japanese government said that the day was "June 22nd", but the day was later changed to "June 23rd".
ﾂ?ｦ To make sure, I examined the events around Yasukuni Shrine and prime ministers in 1985. I had a hunch that something might appear.
3. The then prime minister Nakasone paid an official visit to Yasukuni Shrine on that year. It was the only official visit by the prime minister since the end of WWII. After his official visit, there has been severe criticism in and around Japan and no prime ministers have dared to follow him.(except for Koizumi?)
4. At the time of the two explosions, in Narita, Japan and above the Atlantic Ocean, the 40th memorial service for the war dead in Okinawa was held in a large scale.
5. In 2001 when 9.11 terrorist attacks occurred, the then prime minister, Koizumi, caused a disturbance to the public about whether he should go to Yasukuni Shrine or not. Nakasone and Koizumi were the most hawkish and belligerent politicians since the end of WWII.
ﾂ?｡ Questions derived from the story No.13
1. Why did another bombing occur in Japan? Japan should have had nothing to do with the conflicts in India at that time.
2. Why was the day chosen? If Japan was concerned about Yasukuni Shrine, the day should have been August 15th, the end of WWII. Why was the scenario so complicated?
ﾂ?｡ I would like to analyze the terrorism with which Japan seems to have something to do. But the facts were very complicated and sometimes my story goes backward and forward. So, I think it would be more understandable if I talk the story according to a hypothesis. Then, I think you can examine every part of my hypothesis.
Some stories are based on the real facts, and others are part of my hypothesis. I would like you to check my hypothesis using other source of information.
ﾂ?｡ The conspiracy of Nakasone and Japan in 1985 when Japan marked the 40th anniversary of the end of WWII.
1. A Scenario Well-written by the Japanese Government
The key-words were revenge, winner, peace and terror, victory in the election, money-making and national interest, and official Yasukuni Shrine.
The first priority was the terrorism (act of revenge) and an official visit to Yasukuni Shrine (report of revenge) by the prime minister. Particularly with regard to Yasukuni Shrine, priority was the fact, not the propaganda. Historians knew that facts gradually surpass the propaganda. But they also knew that a fact never worked without confirmation. For example, if the prime minister visits Yasukuni Shrine completely secretly, people and other countries would never believe the story though it is an official one. So, small amount of controversy was necessary, but it would be more convenient if the event was overshadowed by a more shocking event.
Then, an overshadowing terrorism was considered. The terrorism that included all the keywords was the terrorism against a jumbo jet airplane. It was a shame that Japan was far behind in building airplanes. Japan was denied to build warplanes, warships and aircraft carriers by the US. Japan developed and produced passenger airplanes (YS-11s) domestically. Its designer was Teruo Tojo, the second son of Hideki Tojo, a Class A War Criminal. But it was not a success. Some Japanese watched Boeing Jumbo Jets, feeling the sting of defeat.
During World War II, there used to be a variety of collaborators, spies, sympathizers and friends all over the world, even in the enemy countries. Some of them continued to have connection with the Japanese government. The Japanese government continued to support them, remitting some money through mostly money laundering. Some were already the second and the third generations.
Most of them secretly worked as spies, terrorists, policemen, businessmen, politicians, doctors, journalists at the mercy of the Japanese government in their countries.
In India, there were already conflicts between some groups. If some of them committed terrorism in other countries, it could be natural.
ﾂ?｡ Several Indian collaborators were chosen.
Then, the next question was the date.
But some bureaucrats created unusual scenario, that could maximize the consequence to the Japanese government's advantage.
If the aircraft accident is regarded as the simple accident, mostly due to mechanical failure, victims and their country can accuse Boeing and the US government. If the aircraft accident turned out to be the act of terrorism, victims and their country can accuse the aviation authority and airway company in charge.
But they finally found that under these logics, Japan could not accuse Boeing, the US government by a mere terrorism. So, finally, two aircraft accident was planned: one was a blatant terrorism, the other one was apparently a mere mechanical failure. To make sure, Indian terrorists should be killed as soon as possible before they confess everything inadvertently.
August 15th was too much direct. So August 12nd, three days before the day of Japan's surrender, was chosen as the execution date.
June 23 was chosen as the other execution date. This day was the second most important day for the Japanese. The Okinawa prefecture-sponsored Okinawa memorial ceremony for all the war dead was held in the Mabuni Hill Memorial Park on June 23 every year.
This day (June 23rd) was the day when the Japanese super commander Mitsuru Ushijima committed suicide and the headquarters of the Japanese army finally collapsed according to the Japanese official record. Originally, the Japanese government said that the day was "June 22nd", but the day was later changed to "June 23rd".
On the other hand, most foreign historians continue to regard the day as "June 22nd". At least in Japan, every ceremony concerned has been held on June 23rd. Most Japanese now believe that the day was "June 23rd".
ﾂ?｡The first attack was set at June 23rd around the US, but not in the US.
The then Japanese prime minister, Nakasone, had seemingly a good relationship with the US president Ronald Reagan. Insinuation would be more effective than direct attacks. Then Canada was chosen for its location.
But, in this case, the plane crash site would be in the ocean. In the terrorist attack, evidence should be difficult to collect. The cost of searching and investigation should be enormous. The more mysterious the result is, the more scary the incidence would become.
ﾂ?｡The next attack was a suicidal airplane crash with a jumbo jet and many passengers, pretending to be a complete mechanical failure. It should occur in Japan on August 12nd.
The plane should have been the one that was repaired by the Boeing in the past. Mechanical failure should be exaggerated during and after the crashing process.
The jumbo jet should not crash suddenly, but it should gradually be disintegrated, and then crash into the sea.
ﾂ?｡Pilots were chosen. Throughout the history, there are many Japanese who commit suicide if they are asked or ordered. Some people even can involve many others with their suicides. No problem at all. They are actually crazy . Mostly they are those who have huge debts and are ready to die in exchange for a lot of money, including insurance money.
ﾂ?｡ At that time, jumbo jets flew mostly between Tokyo and Osaka. Then the plane was to crash off the coast near Mt. Fuji.
ﾂ?｡ But this scenario was later changed. After the Indian airplane crash, the Japanese government learned that incredible amount of money was spent for searching, investigation and compensation. Particularly, searching in the ocean turned out to be costly.
So, the next crash site in Japan was changed from the ocean to the mountainous area. Then, some bureaucrats recommended that the crash site should be within the electoral district of the then prime minister, Nakasone, about 100 km northwest of Tokyo.
And the crashing time should be in the evening. Because of the darkness and steep topography, the rescue operation would not begin until the next morning. Most victims would be dead until then.
2. The result of the conspiracy.(June 23, 1985)
On June 23, 1985, Air-India Flight 182, a Boeing 747, exploded while at an altitude of 31,000 feet (9500 m) above the Atlantic Ocean, south of Ireland; all 329 on board were killed, of whom 82 were children and 280 were Canadian citizens. Up until September 11, 2001, the Air India bombing was the single deadliest terrorist attack involving aircraft. It is also the largest mass murder in Canadian history. It occurred within an hour of the Narita Airport Bombing.
Timeline of the Incident
On June 22, 1985, the bags of a passenger named L. Singh were checked in at Vancouver for Canadian Pacific Airlines (CP Air) 003 to New Tokyo International Airport (now Narita International Airport) in Narita, Japan, near Tokyo. This bag was interlined to Air India Flight 301 leaving for Don Muang International Airport in Bangkok, Thailand. L. Singh was assigned seat 38H.
At 2037 GMT, Empress of Australia, flying CP Flight 3, departed Vancouver without L. Singh on board.
At 0541 GMT (now June 23), Empress of Australia (CP Air 3) arrived in Tokyo 14 minutes early.
At 0619 GMT, a piece of luggage that had come from CP Air 3 exploded as it was being transferred to Air India Flight 301; the explosion killed two baggage handlers (Hideo Asano and Hideharu Koda) in Narita and injured four other people.
At 0805 GMT, Air India Flight 301 left Narita and arrived in Thailand unscathed.
February, 1988 - Inderjit Singh Reyat is arrested by British police in Coventry, England.
December 8, 1989 - The British government agrees to extradite Reyat to Canada following a lengthy court battle.
May 10, 1991 - Inderjit Singh Reyat receives a ten-year sentence after being convicted of two counts of manslaughter and four explosives charges relating to the Narita Airport bombing.

3. The result of the conspiracy.(August 12, 1985)
Japan Airlines Flight 123 was a JAL domestic flight from Tokyo International Airport in Haneda to Osaka International Airport in Itami. The Boeing 747-SR46 that made this route, registered JA8119, crashed into the ridge of Mount Takamagahara in Gunma Prefecture, Japan 100 km from Tokyo, on Monday August 12, 1985. The crash site was on Osutaka-no-O'ne (Osutaka Ridge), near Mount Osutaka.
All 15 crew members and 505 out of 509 passengers died: a total of 520 deaths. It remains the deadliest single-aircraft disaster in history, and the second-worst aviation accident of all time, after the Tenerife disaster (not counting ground victims). The four female survivors were seated towards the rear of the plane: Yumi Ochiai, an off-duty JAL flight attendant, age 25, who was jammed between a number of seats; Hiroko Yoshizaki, a 34-year-old woman and her 8-year-old daughter Mikiko Yoshizaki, who were trapped in an intact section of the fuselage; and a 12-year-old girl, Keiko Kawakami, who was found wedged between branches in a tree.[1] Among the dead was the famous singer Kyu Sakamoto.

4. The result of the conspiracy.(August 15, 1985)
The then prime minister, Nakasone, paid an official visit to Yasukuni Shrine. It was the only official visit by the prime minister since the end of WWII. After his official visit, there has been severe criticism in and around Japan and no prime ministers have dared to follow him.
In 2001, the then prime minister, Koizumi declared to visit Yasukuni shrine on August 15. But he faced a severe criticism again in and around Japan. He suddenly visit Yasukuni Shrine on August 13, fending off criticism and still trying to express his obsession for Yasukuni Shrine. His attitude toward Yasukuni was unusual that year.
Then 9.11 terrorist attacks occurred.
5. Comments
(1) The Japanese government abandoned all the victims to their fate.
There was some confusion about who would handle the rescue in the immediate aftermath of the crash. A U.S. Air Force helicopter was the first to the crash site, some 20 minutes after impact. The crew radioed Yokota Air Base to assemble rescue teams and offered to help guide Japanese forces to the site immediately. Japanese government representatives ordered the U.S. crew to return to Yokota Air Base because the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) were going to handle the rescue.

Some survivors later said that there had been many survivors but that they had died one after another throughout the night. The next morning, only a few of them were rescued.

ネットで語り継がれる機長の言葉、事故の記憶
The Japanese government refused to release any of the JAL123 CVR to the public. This attitude provoked victims' families and the Japanese government finally released it fifteen years later.
But its authenticity was doubtful. It wasn't very difficult to fabricate a voice record. All the wreckage, bodies, flight records had been collected until the CVR was released.
(3) Until the next morning, the government and the mass media continued to convey wrong information about the location of the crash site, though they learned it precisely. A U.S. Air Force helicopter was the first to the crash site, some 20 minutes after impact. Still now, there has been no explanation about the betrayal.
Still now, the Japanese government continues to say that they didn't refuse any help from the US Air Force.
(4) There are quite a many candidates for suicidal terrorism involving many innocent people in Japan. This situation may be unbelievable for foreigners. But it is true. Most Japanese can understand the situation. I'd like to talk about this matter later.
(5) The crush site was within the electoral district of the then prime minister Nakasone. He owned a luxurious cottage near the crash site. Some people say that he was there at the time of the crush. I can't believe it was simply a coincidence.
(6) The chief of the village of the crush site led aggressively the rescue operation. He soon became famous. But later people knew he had been a pilot of a suicidal zero fighter plane. He was one of Nakasone's friends.
(7) Victims' families were never satisfied with the government's attitude and treatment.
(8) Still now, the government and mass media try to keep ordinary citizens away from the crush site.
On August 12 every year, many victims' families try to climb the mountain to reach the crush site. But they are harassed and intervened by many luxurious vehicles of mass media. Nowadays there is little news about the crush. But I can't understand why so many cars are parked along the mountain path neglecting old and weak people who are desperately walking up the path.

(9) Indian terrorists were not captured alive. They were killed by the Indian police. But I think it was another conspiracy. Even in India there are many collaborators. It was not so difficult to make the terrorists to move to a specific place and to let the collaborators, the police, to murder them.
In the Japanese crimes it is not unusual that murderers are later murdered by another murderer in order to silence them completely.
Even in the US some mysterious murderers are killed or die soon, also mysteriously. Most of the cases, the facts continues to be unclear.
