Winds of War Blowing over Northern Pacific Islands?

There has been a sig­nif­i­cant uptick in real or alleged mil­i­tary con­fronta­tions over dis­puted islands in the North Pacific. Con­ser­v­a­tive com­men­ta­tor Ambrose Evans-Pritchard has noted the pos­si­ble drift toward war between Japan and China over unin­hib­ited and dis­puted Islands. Japan has also accused Rus­sia of foment­ing con­fronta­tion over the dis­puted Kuriles.


Now, About those School Yard Shootings . . .

With the nation and much of the world focused on the grue­some shoot­ings in New­town, Con­nect­cut, we revisit the topic of the school­yard shoot­ings. In past pro­grams, we have noted that a num­ber of the [alleged] per­pe­tra­tors of the school shoot­ings have links to Nazi and white suprema­cist groups. A form of ter­ror­ism, these mas­sacres desta­bi­lize soci­ety, lead­ing to the pop­u­lar sen­ti­ment for “order.” Endorsed by some ele­ments of pop­u­lar cul­ture, the school­yard shoot­ings are func­tion­ing in a man­ner anal­o­gous to the Fritz Haar­mann inci­dent in Weimar Ger­many. That ser­ial mur­der of more than a hun­dred juve­niles, whose corpses were butchered and baked into meat pies, dis­cred­ited the author­i­ties of Weimar Ger­many, help­ing to sow sen­ti­ment that would ben­e­fit the Nazis.


Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish: Sun Myung Moon Exits Stage Far Right

A self-proclaimed mes­siah who viewed the polit­i­cal sub­ju­ga­tion of the United States as essen­tial, Sun Myung Moon headed the Uni­fi­ca­tion Church. With strong con­nec­tions to the Bush fam­ily and ele­ments of the Cen­tral Intel­li­gence Agency, the Uni­fi­ca­tion Church appears to be an exten­sion of the Japan­ese patri­otic and ultra­na­tion­al­ist soci­eties that brought fas­cism to Japan. The group’s pri­mary fund­ing may well come from Japan­ese heavy indus­try, the Mit­subishi Cor­po­ra­tion, in par­tic­u­lar. Moon has finally passed away at age 92.


Blast from the Past: Reagan, George H.W. Bush Administrations Aided Secret Japanese Nuclear Weapons Program

Rea­gan, Bush I admin­is­tra­tions secretly armed Japan with weapons-grade plu­to­nium. Space explo­ration projects a cover for Japan­ese nuclear arms devel­op­ment. How far do these ten­ta­cles reach?

Economic Difficulties Fuel Rise of Far-Right Groups in Japan; They Compare Themselves to “Tea Parties”

Com­ment: The social dis­lo­ca­tion pro­duced by the eco­nomic dis­tress of Japan’s “Lost Decade” has stim­u­lated the rise of far right groups rem­i­nis­cent both of the patri­otic and ultra-nationalist soci­eties that led to the rise of fas­cism in Japan in the 1920’s and 1930’s and the “Tea Par­ties” in the U.S., with whom many of them [...]


The Moonies and Michael Jackson

Com­ment: In FTR #695, we exam­ined the array of sin­is­ter forces grouped around Jack­son at the time of his demise. To these, we can now add the Moonies–the Uni­fi­ca­tion Church of Sun Myung Moon, ana­lyzed in AFA #7 and FTR #291 as exten­sions of the Japan­ese Patri­otic and Ultra-Nationalist soci­eties. [Those soci­eties paved the way [...]


Repost: FTR #248 Bushed — The Political Heritage of George W.

A prophetic rebroad­cast: the polit­i­cal her­itage to which George W. is heir. The Bush fam­ily has a long, exten­sive, influ­en­tial, and largely sin­is­ter history.
