Why Isn’t Okinawa Jumping in Junity?
Posted by Guy on March 30, 2008
An Early Reflection
Judge Toshimasa Fukami finally ruled that “the former Imperial Japanese Army was deeply involved in the mass suicides.” [Thank you Sherlock-san!]
The author, Kenzaburo Oe, is now off the hook, of course, but what about
- The full truth?
- Logic behind the ruling?
- And why aren’t the Ryukyuans jumping in Junity*?
According to the judge:
The Imperial Japanese Army were deeply involved in the suicides Ryukyuans [Okinawans]; they supplied the grenades for Okinawans to commit mass suicide; instructed the civilians (i) how to use the grenades, and (ii) how to maximize mass fatality; but they did not order the Ryukyuans to commit suicide; however, people on those Okinawan islands where the Imperial Japanese Army was not stationed did not commit suicide.
He declined to rule on whether the Japanese commanders had actually ordered the civilians to commit suicide.
Weasel Ruling
What legal (or logical) yardstick could the judge have possibly used to arrive at such weasel ruling? If the Japanese commanders didn’t order the civilians to commit suicide,
1. What exactly did their “deep involvement in the mass suicides”amount to?
2. Who/what/why did the Okinawans commit suicide?
Burden of Proof?
The only logical, though untrue, conclusion that could be inferred from the Japanese judge’s weasel ruling is the following, which is based purely on those premises that he has agreed with:
Premise#1. The Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) supplied the hand grenades.
Premise#2. IJA instructed the [civilian] Ryukyuans how to commit mass suicide using hand grenade.
Premise#3. IJA commanders did not order the Ryukyuans to commit mass suicide.
Premise#4. Civilians on those Okinawan islands where IJA was not stationed did not commit mass suicide.
Conclusion: Therefore, the Ryukyuans must have been tricked by IJA commanders into committing mass suicide ‘voluntarily!’
And the Ryukyuans?
The weasel ruling made “f*ckall” difference to the Ryukyuans. The general idea is that they don’t get to sue the government for damages, claim compensation for the loss of family members, or for the other war crimes and atrocities committed by IJA!

War Crimes, USA

War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity, USA
Top 10 Reasons Why Japanese Loathe Foreigners, Especially the Americans:
.10. Little Boy
9. Fat Man
The mushroom cloud over Hiroshima after detonating Little Boy.
Sixty-2 years ago today (August 6, 1945), in a shameful act of mass murder, United States of America under President Harry S. Truman dropped the nuclear weapon “Little Boy” on the city of Hiroshima killing up to 80,000 people instantly. Three days later on August 9, 1945 the US detonated another nuclear bomb the “Fat Man” over Nagasaki.
According to some estimates the total death toll was 237,000 for Hiroshima, and 135,000 for Nagasaki including diseases from the aftereffects based on hospital data.
The overwhelming majority of the deaths in both nuclear attacks were civilians.
The Baptist President, Truman – 33rd US President –
the psychopath who authorized the nuclear attacks on Japan.
Other Players: MacArthur and Hirohito

The twin nuclear attacks on Japan was much more than the war crime of ‘collective punishment’; it was a crime against humanity!

What is 20 million + 3.1 million?
Posted by Guy on June 14, 2007
The numbers who lost their lives in the 15-year war of aggression by Japanese militarism: 20 million people from Asian countries; 3.1 million people from Japan.
In the event of another war an estimated 80 million Japanese people could die of starvation and disease.
Say “NO” to Ultra Nationalism! Stop the Revision of Japanese Constitution!
Japan is doing just fine without a military and does not have to participate in United Nations military adventures. The anti-war clause in Japan’s constitution was put there for good reasons.
Japanese wars of aggression from the Manchurian Incident to the Pacific War proved the complete inability of the Japanese government to control its military and the emotional ease with which the Japanese people could be led into all manner of hysterical militaristic excess once the military did gain control.

Stop the Road to War!
The formulation of a new constitution is a coup d’état!
Of all the paths and options available, the road to war would be the costliest mistake, a deadly choice Japan can ill afford to make.
