      <description>An eight minute piece of silent footage which details the execution of three Japanese personnel by a gang of US occupiers.

The men are blessed by a priest before the gang kills them.

The three were accused by the Americans of involvement in the punishment of the Doolittle terror raiders.

The us military continues to place a high tariff on the actions of its chosen foes, but of course turns a relative blind eye to the actions of its own war criminals, such as the killers involved in the My Lai massacre, or the depraved acts of psychopath Stephen D Green, and his merry band of child rapists.</description>

      <title>US Dollar Collapse and &lt;span class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;Japan&lt;/span&gt;'s Sham Currency War</title>
      <pubDate>Fri, 17 May 2013 10:20:29 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>The Hidden Agenda Behind Japan's Kamikaze Quantitative EasingUS$ dollars have been flooding the financial markets ever since 
Bernanke launched quantitative easing allegedly to turnaround the US 
economy. These huge amounts of US$ toilet paper are mainly in financial 
markets (and in central banks) outside of the United States. A huge 
chunk is represented as reserves in central banks led by China and 
Japan.
If truth be told, the real value of the US$ would not be more than a 
dime and I am being really generous here, as even toilet paper has a 
value.
That the US dollar is still accepted in the financial markets 
(specifically by central banks) has nothing to do with it being a 
reserve currency, but rather that the US$ is backed/supported by the 
armed might and nuclear blackmail of the US Military-Industrial Complex.
 The nuclear blackmail of Iran is the best example following Iran's 
decision to trade her crude in other currencies and gold instead of the 
US$ toilet paper.
If  the United States were not a military threat and a global bully 
that can blackmail with impunity the oil exporting countries in the 
Middle East, the global financial system which hinges on the US$ toilet 
paper would have collapsed a long time ago.
The issue is why has the US$ not collapsed as it should have by now?


When we apply common sense and logic to the state of affairs, the answer is so simple and it is staring at you.


But, you have not been able to see the obvious because the global 
mass media, specifically the global financial mass media controlled 
mainly from London and New York, has created a smokescreen to hide the 
truth from you.
Let's analyse the situation in a step by step manner, and apply common sense.


1. The US is the world's biggest debtor. The biggest creditors are 
China and Japan, followed by the oil exporting countries in the Middle 
East. With each passing day, the value of the US$ toilet paper is worth 
less and less. Like I said earlier, even toilet paper has some intrinsic
 value. It reaches zero value when everyone has to carry a wheelbarrow 
of US$ to purchase anything.
2. For the US$ toilet paper creditors, they cannot admit the fact 
that they have been conned by the global Too Big To Fail Banks (TBTFs) 
acting in concert with the FED and the Bank of England to accept US$ 
toilet papers. The central bankers of these countries have a reputation 
to preserve (not that there is in fact any reputation, for their 
so-called financial credibility is also part of the scam) and the 
political leaders that relied on them is in a bigger bind. How can the 
political leaders be so very stupid to trust these central bankers (who 
have stashed away in foreign tax havens huge US$ toilet papers as a 
reward for their complicity). This is the current state of affairs in 
plain English. They are having sleepless nights worrying if and when the
 citizens would wise up to this biggest con in history i.e. the 
promotion and acceptance of fiat currencies, the US$ being the ultimate 
fiat currency.
3. The global financial elites led by the FED know that this state of
 affairs is to their advantage and they are exploiting it to the hilt! 
They also know that no country or organisation has the military 
resources to threaten the US to stop this global ponzi scheme which has 
been going on since 1945 and intensified since 1971 when President Nixon
 de-coupled the US$ from gold. The pound sterling is another story but, 
it is not relevant for the purposes of this analysis.
4. Additionally, and as a result of the above-stated scam, countries 
were led to believe and to accept the false economic theory that export 
generated growth (GDP) should be the foundation of economic development,
 as the United States having limitless US$ toilet paper has the ability 
and the means to purchase the global exports, it being the largest 
consumer market in the world. In the result, the world's factories and 
their workers, including those in the developed world such as France and
 Germany worked their butts off to be rewarded with US$ toilet paper 
whose value is less than the paper and ink that produce it! The 
financial frolic went on for more than forty years and came to an abrupt
 and foreseeable end in the 2008 global financial tsunami.
5. When the party ended, the United States was up to her eyeballs in 
debts as a result of reckless financial speculation in the global 
derivatives casino and the consumption binge financed by housing 
mortgages. Debts must be repaid. But, the US has no means to do so. They
 cannot produce enough goods to earn the revenue to pay the debts 
because US manufacturing has been outsourced to the developing world - 
China became the world's number 1 factory. So, the financial elite 
appointed helicopter Bernanke to lead the charge for the US and the UK 
to use the printing press (digital or otherwise) to print more US$ 
toilet papers to pay off the debt. In economic jargon, this is 
&quot;monetising the debt&quot;. It is outright fraud, but no one (i.e. central 
bankers) in his right mind would admit to this fraud as they would be 
hung from the lamp-posts if the truth is discovered as was the case when
 the Italian fascist leader Mussolini was hung by the Italian partisans.
6. Initially, central bankers confronted with this situation and 
having to face a restless populace embarked on a regime of competitive 
easing/ devaluation of their currencies. But, the price was horrendous. 
Inflation spiked in all these countries. But, this scheme of things did 
not work out as planned for the simple reason, the US$ toilet paper 
continued to be lower as a result of more QE by Bernanke. China realised
 the danger and adopted other means to overcome this situation, one of 
which was to enter into bilateral arrangements with her trading partners
 to finance trade in their respective currencies. Such agreements were 
entered between China and Japan, members of BRIC, Malaysia etc. This 
counter-measure was perceived as a threat to the continued dominance of 
the US$ toilet paper regime. In the result, Obama declared at the urging
 of the financial elites (he does not have the grey cells to think) a 
foreign policy shift - the Asia Pivot to prevent a further deterioration
 of US$ dominance.
7. When Japan entered the agreement with China, her behaviour was 
deemed unacceptable since Japan was under the nuclear protection of the 
US. Japan was caught between a rock and a hard place. It was expected 
that sooner or later the US would apply the squeeze on Japan to behave 
in a proper manner. Applying geopolitical strategies, the US towing 
South Korea along provoked North Korea by launching a military exercise 
which included flying B-2 bombers which are capable of carrying nuclear 
weapons. North Korea responded in the manner that was expected. Japan 
was exposed and in like manner reacted by seeking US protection. To 
muddy the waters and complicate the situation, the US engineered a 
Idispute between China and Japan over the sovereignty of the Diaoyu 
Islands. This was followed by the installation of a new regime in Japan 
by the election of the Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and the appointment of 
Haruhiko Kuroda as the Governor of the Bank of Japan (BOJ).
8. Now comes the mechanics of US counter-measures in shoring up the 
artificial dominance/value of the US$ toilet paper. Japan was ordered to
 do its part as a quid pro quo for being protected by the US's nuclear 
umbrella. A new version of the Plaza Accord must be put in place - a 
&quot;reverse Plaza Accord&quot;.
9. Let me explain. In the 1985 Plaza Accord, the dollar was devalued 
to reduce the current account deficit and to help the US recover from 
the recession of the early 1980s. It was a managed devaluation and the 
exchange value of the Dollar versus the Yen declined by 51 per cent from
 1985 to 1987 - reaching yen151 per US$1 in March 1987. The dollar 
continued to slide till 1988. The effect of the strengthened Yen 
depressed Japan's exports and brought about the expansionary monetary 
policies that resulted in the infamous asset bubbles of the late 1980s. 
The G-6 countries then gathered in 1987 in Paris to arrest the slide of 
the dollar and to manage and stabilise the international currency 
markets. The end result was the Louvre Accord. In the next 18 months the
 dollar strengthened to yen160 per US$1.
10. However, in the current situation, the devaluation of the US$ 
toilet paper was the result of massive QEs so as to enable US to 
monetise her debts. However, for US to continue to monetise her debts 
and have the world's central banks agreement to continue to hold dollar 
reserves, the value of the dollar must appreciate, failing which the 
dollar would collapse, the US defaulting on her debts, as creditors 
would no longer accept US$ as payment. The trick was to artificially 
inflate the value of the dollar without arousing any suspicions.
11. In the 1970s, following the de-coupling of the dollar from gold 
by President Nixon, the dollar would have collapsed in like manner as it
 was not backed by gold. It became pure fiat money! The trick then was 
to create an artificial demand for dollar which would in turn raise the 
value of the currency. This was effected by the proposal of Kissinger to
 the Arabs that if they would dollarize their oil exports, the US would 
guarantee their safety and survival even from the threats of Israel. 
When the Arabs agreed to this arrangement, every country in the world 
had to buy oil in US$. Countries have to exchange their currencies into 
US$ to buy oil. This demand for US$ strengthened the currency and 
prolonged the US fiat money monopoly.
12. However, this option is no longer available presently as oil is 
now being sold in other currencies besides the US$. The petro-dollar is 
no longer in dominance. In any event, the continued use of petro-dollars
 would spike the oil price and this would be inflationary and 
detrimental to the US economy as well as the world's economy in the 
present economic climate - i.e. deep recession. Another means must be 
used.
13. This is the reason for the sudden &quot;shock and awe&quot; monetary policy
 of the new Japanese regime of Shinzo Abe and Haruhiko Kuroda. My 
detractors will accuse me of indulging in conspiracy theories. But, the 
facts speak for themselves. I had said earlier, that the G-7 countries 
have collectively attempted to devalue their currencies but, it did not 
stem the slide of the US$ because Bernanke was increasing the intensity 
of QE since 2008. And the EU was not willing and or able to adopt a 
suicide policy of massive QE as Germany was well aware of such a risk 
having suffered the negative effects of hyperinflation. China would not 
kow-tow to the US and in fact together with fellow members of BRIC was 
adopting counter-measures to confront Bernanke's QE financial weapon. 
That left only one country who can be compelled to do the US bidding, to
 commit Hara-kiri to save and or prolong the US$ toilet paper regime - 
Japan!
14. And so, Japan launched its sudden massive QE and the desired 
effect is that now the US$ toilet paper has artificially appreciated in 
value vis-a-vis the Yen and less so with other currencies. This cannot 
be disputed by my detractors because:
On May 11, the financial elites of G-7 countries explicitly agreed with this kamikaze policy of Japan.


Koichi Hamada has also declared earlier that the target for this 
policy is to allow the dollar to rise to yen110 per US$1 and this rise 
would be managed in a staggered fashion in small increments (step by 
step approach) thereby controlling the rate of inflation in Japan which 
would not be allowed to exceed the agreed target rate.
It is suggested that Japan can do this because it can utilise its 
huge dollar reserves of US$1.2 Trillion to manage the devaluation! 
According to Alan Ruskin, the global head of Group of 10 
foreign-exchange strategy in New York at Deutsche Bank ASG, he said &quot;I 
think we are opening up the door to look at 105 in the next few months 
and 110 by the end of the year ...&quot; and this surely must be interpreted to
 mean that Koichi Hamada's strategy is definitely in play.
In conclusion, it is my view that such &quot;managed artificial 
appreciation&quot; of the US$ toilet paper while effective in the short run 
would fail in the long run because the fundamental issues of the US 
economy have not been addressed and resolved. Only real economic growth 
can reverse the dollar's demise.
Seriously, would Bernanke stop further QE when the yen exchange rate 
reaches yen110 by the year end? Has not Bernanke declared that QE would 
continue till 2015? And since Japan has drawn the Red Line at yen110, can 
Japan risk further damage to its economy and continue to back-stop US 
beyond yen110?
The US$ quadrillion derivative casino is the millstone around the US 
and the global economy, and as long as this is not resolved, the crisis 
would only get worse. Like water, after sufficient heat, the boiling 
point would be reached.
While I cannot forecast the precise date of the implosion, I am of 
the view that the end is near, sparked by a black swan event and then 
snowballed to its final devastation.</description>

In their search for justice that has endured for decades, the biggest challenge Nazi hunters face is time. The knowledge that war criminals are escaping prosecution through death by natural causes means their task has never been more pressing. German state police arrested a 93-year-old man accused of being a guard at the Auschwitz concentration camp. Hans Lipschis is the first suspect to be facing charges as part of a drive launched earlier this year to track down 50 suspected Auschwitz guards who are believed to be living in Germany. 




Most of those involved in the murder of about 6 million Jews in the Holocaust and still alive will now be in their 90s, a ripe old age for people who carried out one the most heinous crimes in the history of humanity. This is very different from Japan. Japan is restoring the use of the Rising Sun Flag, a symbolism of invasions by Imperial Japanese Army. This is basically the equivalent of Germans using the Nazi Germany Flag. This is proof that Japan still craves the desire for the failed Japanese imperialism. It's almost as if Japan is reenact the past invasions anytime soon. We can see Japan's fascism from their arguments that Korea's Dokdo is Japanese territory.

      <title>&lt;span class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;Japan&lt;/span&gt; WWII 'comfort women' were 'necessary' - Hashimoto Australian comfort woman Jan Ruff-O'Herne </title>

      <description>A prominent Japanese politician has described as &quot;necessary&quot; the system by which women were forced to become prostitutes for World War II troops.Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto said the &quot;comfort women&quot; gave soldiers putting their lives at risk a chance &quot;to rest&quot;.He acknowledged that the women had been acting &quot;against their will&quot;.Some 200,000 women in territories occupied by Japan during WWII are estimated to have been forced into becoming sex slaves for troops.Many of the women came from China and South Korea, but also from the Philippines, Indonesia and Taiwan.Japan's treatment of its wartime role has been a frequent source of tension with its neighbours.Mr Hashimoto, the co-founder of the nationalist Japanese Restoration Party, was the youngest governor in Japanese history before becoming mayor of Osaka. 



He said last year that Japan needed &quot;a dictatorship&quot;.



In his latest controversial comments, quoted by Japanese media, he said: &quot;In the circumstances in which bullets are flying like rain and wind, the soldiers are running around at the risk of losing their lives,&quot; &quot;If you want them to have a rest in such a situation, a comfort women system is necessary. Anyone can understand that.&quot; He also claimed that Japan was not the only country to use the system, though it was responsible for its actions.He said he backed a 1995 statement by Japan's then-PM Tomiichi Murayama, in which he apologised for its wartime actions in Asia. 



&quot;It is a result of the tragedy of the war that they became comfort women against their will. The responsibility for the war also lies with Japan. We have to politely offer kind words to   comfort women.&quot;</description>

The earthquake and tsunami near a city of Sendai in Japan happened over two years ago.

Around 1.5 million tonnes of debris washed into the ocean by the disasters are expected to reach North American shores.

The odd items - a football and even a Harley Davidson bike - have already arrived.

Brandy Yanchyk went to Flores Island in British Colombia to find out what locals are finding on the west coast of Canada.</description>
