Jews and Japanese Imperialism | Wake Up From Your Slumber

Jews and Japanese Imperialism

Peter Stuyvesant on April 12, 2011

The institution of the United Nations (UN) Holocaust Remembrance Day and the UN outreach programme to promote the worldwide teaching of the Holocaust is a dubious policy of this supra-national organization: Is the suffering of one people more significant than the suffering of another? Is the suffering of ethnic persecution a sound basis for universal morals?

The Holocaust education and subsequent teaching of Jewish history also can be very embarassing, especially when Jews were complicit in foreign occupation and brutal oppression. In this article, Part 2 of a series (Part 1 is here), I discuss the Jewish role in facilitating Japanese imperialism.

Jews and Japanese Imperialism

In 1905 the Russo-Japanese war for the domination of Manchuria—nowadays the northeast of China—was in a deadlock with neither party gaining the upper hand. Japan could not sustain a long-term expensive land war with Russia and their opponents knew that. Moreover the Russians had the advantage that the White nations were not willing to support an emerging non-White nation to compete over foreign markets and colonies.

Nevertheless there was one important source of money which greatly contributed to the Japanese cause — the loans from the Jewish activist banker from New York: Jacob Schiff. Schiff was the point man in what might be termed the Jewish foreign policy of the period: Hostility toward Russia because of its treatment of Jews. The entire organized Jewish community throughout Europe and America actively opposed Russia. For example, in America in 1911, the American Jewish Committee, led and financed by Schiff, successfully advocated the abrogation of a trade agreement with Russia over the veto of President Taft.

Schiff’s loans effectively tilted the balance in favor of the Japanese, which could literally buy time to sustain the land war and meanwhile defeat the Russian navy at sea. The Russian defeat shook the Empire to its foundations and revolution was in the air. The Japanese on the other hand had a boost of self-confidence, being the first non-White modern nation to defeat a European superpower both on land and at sea. By defeating the Russians in Manchuria the Japanese blocked further Russian expansion in the Far East and opened up perspectives for their own imperial schemes, especially in China. One could say that the Russo-Japanese war unleashed Japanese imperialism which would ultimately lead to the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941.

The Japanese were well aware of the contribution of Jacob Schiff to their war effort and bestowed many honors on him. He was awarded the Japanese Order of the Sacred Treasure in 1905, and in 1907 he was honored again with the Japanese Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Star. Ultimately Schiff was the first foreigner to have been personally awarded the Order by the Japanese Emperor in the Imperial Palace (see here, p. 17). Back then the Japanese emperor was considered a demi-god by ordinary Japanese and seeing him or even meeting him was one of the greatest honors which could be received.

Candidates for Manchuria

In 1931 the Japanese provoked the Mukden Incident and occupied Manchuria, which was considered a part of China. In other to legitimize their occupation they set up the puppet state of Manchukuo (literally: Land of the Manchu). The Manchu are an ethnic minority from which the last Chinese emperors descended who were native to the northeast of China. The Japanese even managed to install the last Chinese emperor Pu Yi as a puppet king. Manchuria was independent in name only and was not recognized by the international community. In fact it was a huge slave-state in which the local Chinese were brutally exploited. They even experimented with chemical and biological agents on a huge scale causing the death of upward of 200,000 people.

The Japanese army was keen on attracting Japanese colonists to Manchuria to govern the newly acquired land, but the colonial schemes never met their expectations. During the 1930s Japanese officers developed a plan to create a layer of trustworthy middlemen between them and the locals by importing Jews in a scheme called the Fugu Plan. The role of Jews as middlemen between alien ruling elites and the people is an ancient and recurring theme of Jewish history.

The Japanese managed to attract thousands of Jews, especially from National Socialist Germany from 1938 onwards. The Japanese army officer and diplomat Kiichiro Higuchi was instrumental in issuing passes to Jewish refugees. Higuchi would later play a role in the ill-fated Japanese invasion of the Aleutian islands during World War II, the only Japanese occupation of American soil.

Jews were already living in Manchuria, and the Jewish community was bolstered by the influx of thousands of Jewish settlers. The dominant culture among Jews in Manchuria was the ideology of Zionist racialist Ze’ev Jabotinsky, which was thoroughly militarist. Jews created a militia, the so-called Betar, and paraded in full uniform and with flags through the streets of the Manchurian capital of Harbin (see here, p. 52). The Jews would prove to be willing middlemen in the Far East, unlike other Europeans who were put in concentration camps to work, often dying from starvation, sickness or pure exhaustion. Jews were willing to support the Japanese war cause, announcing in a Jewish-Japanese conference in 1940 that they would help to build the New Order in East Asia. Special prayers were reserved for the welfare of the Japanese emperor by the rabbi of Tientsin (see Herman Dicker, Wanderers and Settlers in the Far East [Twayne Publishers 1962] p. 59).

Conclusion

In 2004 the Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert visited the grave of his father in Harbin on an official state visit to the People’s Republic of China. Nowadays the Chinese are looking for good relations with the state of Israel, but after World War II the Jews who had not left yet were expelled from China after the conclusion of the Chinese civil war in 1949. Chairman Mao banned the Jewish religion from the registration of cults in China. It was the only officially banned religion.

Time has apparently faded the Chinese memory of the Jewish complicity with Japanese occupation of Chinese territory and their war crimes, like the mass experimenting of chemical (and biological) agents in Manchuria, the exploitation of slave-labor causing millions to die, and the brutal cultural and political oppression of Chinese. World War II in China (1937–1945) cost the lives of at least 20 million Chinese civilians, most deliberately killed in scenes like the Nanking Massacre or the sanko sakusen (The “Three Alls Policy”: loot all, kill all, burn all).

Helen Thomas and the AIPAC vampires who want her out.

Helen Thomas "disinvited" from anti-AIPAC event

Helen Thomas and the Political Cleansing of America
Silencing Israel’s Critics
By JAMES ABOUREZK
CounterPunch.org
April 25, 2011
You remember Helen Thomas? She was the senior White House Correspondent who always opened Presidential press conferences and closed them by saying the magic words: “Thank you Mr. President.” Her Wikipedia entry cites her professional accomplishments:
“Helen Thomas (born August 4, 1920) is an American author and former news service reporter, member of the White House Press Corps and opinion columnist.[1] She worked for the United Press International (UPI) for 57 years, first as a correspondent, and later as White House bureau chief. She was a columnist for Hearst Newspapers from 2000 to 2010, writing on national affairs and the White House. She covered every President of the United States from the last years of the Eisenhower administration until the second year of the Obama administration. She was the first female officer of the National Press Club, the first female member and president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, and the first female member of the Gridiron Club. She has written six books; her latest, with co-author Craig Crawford, is Listen Up, Mr. President: Everything You Always Wanted Your President to Know and Do (2009).”
Helen was cashiered from her position as a Hearst columnist after she answered a question by a Rabbi with a video camera who asked her to talk about Israel. She answered—honestly—that the Israelis should get the hell out of Palestine. The Rabbi’s follow up question was, “Where should they go?”
“Back where they came from,” she answered, citing Germany, Poland, and elsewhere.

Now, we all know that those countries that were so murderous and cruel to European Jews are not what they were in the 1940s. But, judging from the reaction of the media, and from Abe Foxman, head of the Anti-Defamation League, one would have thought that she was sending Israeli Jews back to the 1940s. It was a media firestorm that engulfed her, sending a message to anyone else who might stray from the official party line on Israel.

Helen was promptly fired by Hearst news, and her speaking agent, Nine Speakers,Inc. dropped her as a client. A scheduled commencement speech at a Bethesda, Maryland high school was canceled, and the White House Correspondents’ Association issued a statement calling her remarks “indefensible.
Her alma mater, Wayne State University, called her remarks, “Wholly inappropriate.”
President Obama called her remarks “offensive” and “out of line”. She had questioned Obama about American support for Israel and at one press conference that focused on Iran’s potential for creating nuclear weapons, she asked President Obama about Israel’s “secret” nuclear weapons, and why the White House did not condemn the Israeli attacks on the aid flotilla.

Wikipedia also wrote that a group of Holocaust survivors and relatives criticized the Arab American National Museum of Dearborn, Michigan for its plans to place a statue of Helen Thomas in its museum, saying that it would be immoral to honor her and that “American values are at stake.”
After a later speech, the Anti-Defamation League called for journalism schools and organizations to rescind any honors given to Thomas. The organization said that Thomas had “clearly, unequivocally revealed herself as a vulgar anti-Semite” in the speech. Soon after, Wayne State University in Detroit discontinued the Helen Thomas Spirit of Diversity in Media Award, which it had been granting for more than ten years, citing what it called her anti-semitic remarks.

Helen was tough on all of the U.S. presidents who held press conferences, but, unlike the cowering reporters who sat with her in the White House press room, she refused to allow either the Presidents or their press secretaries to slither out of answering her questions. Which, one supposes, is why Ari Fleischer led the charge to have Helen ostracized. It was Helen who refused to believe Fleischer’s lies about the Iraq War during press conference after press conference.

The latest outrage came from an unexpected source—the group organizing an anti-AIPAC meeting in Washington, D.C. Helen was first invited to speak to the group, which was preparing a counter-conference during the annual AIPAC funfest in Washington. AIPAC, which is perhaps the most powerful lobby operating in the nation’s capitol brings together their nationwide membership in an annual D.C. meeting to have Presidents, presidential candidates, and special friends of Israel who are in the Government grovel before that fountain of political money—AIPAC. It is an organization that is not a PAC as we think of money givers to politicians. It is one that can command contributions—or prevent them—for candidates who promise to vote for taxpayers’ money as aid to Israel, as well as to protect Israel from criticism for its many crimes during its occupation of the Palestinians.
Helen was first invited to the anti-AIPAC meeting, then was ceremoniously “disinvited” on grounds, she was told, that she would be a “distraction.” First of all, it is difficult to imagine how someone with similar views, such as Helen Thomas’s, would distract anyone from the presumed message of the anti-AIPAC group which would, we imagine, recite the political evils of AIPAC.

Without a more clear explanation, which was not provided to Helen when she was disinvited, we can only assume that the political cleansing operation started by Abe Foxman and his Anti-Defamation League, is ongoing, even using the platform erected by the stated enemies of AIPAC.
The clear intent of Israel’s apologists is to make the Helen Thomases of the world disappear, along with their views opposing what Israel is doing to those under its occupation, as well as those neighbors, such as Lebanon, which has suffered mightily from Israel’s aggression. The 1982 invasion of Lebanon by Israel resulted in the killing of some 30,000 Lebanese, primarily civilians, the wounding of thousands more, and destroying the homes of tens of thousands.

In such work, Helen is not alone. The Israel Lobby continued to work on South African Judge Goldstone until their pressure forced him to recant a major part of what he had written earlier. His UN-appointed committee wrote a report damaging to Israel, exposing and denouncing the criminal action of the slaughter of 1,200 Palestinian civilians during its invasion in 2008 and its indiscriminate bombing of the Gaza Strip. Hamas was also criticized, but ultimately endorsed the report. Gaza is known as the world’s largest outdoor prison with its borders fenced and guarded by the Israeli military, its airspace controlled by the Israeli Air Force, and its sea approaches patrolled by the Israeli Navy. “Shooting fish in a barrel,” is a phrase that comes to mind when one reads about what Israel did in Gaza.
My view is the major reason for the political cleansing of outspoken people such as Helen Thomas, Norman Finkelstein, Judge Goldstone and others is that the American taxpayer is footing the bill for Israel’s criminal activities, and Israel cannot afford to have this knowledge exposed to our public, to those who pay the taxes.
The question must be asked: Can America afford to have knowledge of Israel’s actions silenced? Can we afford to continue to ostracize people who speak out against America’s policy toward Israel barred from academia, and from public life? It is a form of thought control that we never hesitate to rail against when anyone else does the same.

Our continuing endorsement of what Israel does in the Middle East, and the silencing of its critics makes life more dangerous and more expensive for all Americans.

Helen Thomas exits anti-AIPAC meeting amid controversy By GIL SHEFLER 
04/20/2011 18:36

Former White House press corps member pulls out of Washington conference due to opposition from many participants.A retired journalist accused of making anti-Semitic remarks has withdrawn her participation from an anti-AIPAC conference in Washington next month because of opposition by some of its participants.

Helen Thomas, who caused controversy when she called on Jews in Israel to “go back to Europe” last year, reportedly declined to take part in the Move Over AIPAC when it became clear that “several members of the coalition and our grassroots community” involved in the conference were opposed to her attendance.


“When Thomas was informed about this, she feared that the focus of the events might shift to her, instead of AIPAC and US policy, and she gracefully withdrew her participation,” the press release by Move Over AIPAC said.

Thomas was quoted by organizers as thanking Move Over AIPAC for inviting her, saying she hoped the conference’s purpose of countering Israel’s perceived influence in Washington will succeed.

“I am delighted that people are coming together for this gathering and I want to make sure that the focus stays on AIPAC and US policy, not me,” she was quoted saying by the anti-Israel lobby group.

A week earlier conference organizers announced Thomas would be the keynote speaker at the event in a press release which was removed from the Web on Wednesday.

“We’re delighted to announce that Helen Thomas, who spent her career questioning the powerful and speaking out against war and injustice, will be joining us in DC as a keynote speaker at the Move Over AIPAC,” a press release stated.

Move Over AIPAC has been endorsed by the likes of political scientists Stephen Walt and John Meirsheimer, who wrote a book criticizing the “Israeli lobby” in Washington, and Jewish Voice for Peace, a leftist Jewish organization involved in attempts to break the blockade on Gaza, according to its website.

Several messages and phone calls to Walt, Meirsheimer and JVP went unanswered.

Medea Benjamin, a spokesperson for the event, elaborated on differences of opinion among participants regarding Thomas and her reputation.

“Some within the coalition think that the remarks were anti-Semitic and condemned what she said,” Benjamin said.

“Others thought that it was a slip of the tongue and that her extended comments afterwards were a good explanation. Personally, I’ve been an admirer of her for years and her protest of the Iraq war.”

Asked if inviting a speaker who in the past made inflammatory comments about Jews proved the point of the gathering’s critics that it was pushing an anti- Semitic agenda under the guise of an anti-Israeli lobby event, Benjamin responded in the negative.

“The conference is really to talk about – and many of us are Jews – is to work for a policy where Israel and Palestine can live together in peace and get a process started,” Benjamin, who is Jewish, said.

“My values are Jewish and I believe in compassion for all and AIPAC does not represent my Jewish values. Helen Thomas is one of 30 people who have been invited and we are a community.

Financial Heist of the Century: Confiscating Libya's Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWF)

by Manlio Dinucci

The objective of the war against Libya is not just its oil reserves (now estimated at 60 billion barrels), which are the greatest in Africa and whose extraction costs are among the lowest in the world, nor the natural gas reserves of which are estimated at about 1,500 billion cubic meters. In the crosshairs of "willing" of the operation “Unified Protector” there are sovereign wealth funds, capital that the Libyan state has invested abroad. 

The Libyan Investment Authority (LIA) manages sovereign wealth funds estimated at about $70 billion U.S., rising to more than $150 billion if you include foreign investments of the Central Bank and other bodies. But it might be more. Even if they are lower than those of Saudi Arabia or Kuwait, Libyan sovereign wealth funds have been characterized by their rapid growth. When LIA was established in 2006, it had $40 billion at its disposal. In just five years, LIA has invested over one hundred companies in North Africa, Asia, Europe, the U.S. and South America: holding, banking, real estate, industries, oil companies and others.

In Italy, the main Libyan investments are those in UniCredit Bank (of which LIA and the Libyan Central Bank hold 7.5 percent), Finmeccanica (2 percent) and ENI (1 percent), these and other investments (including 7.5 percent of the Juventus Football Club) have a significance not as much economically (they amount to some $5.4 billion) as politically. 

Libya, after Washington removed it from the blacklist of “rogue states,” has sought to carve out a space at the international level focusing on "diplomacy of sovereign wealth funds." Once the U.S. and the EU lifted the embargo in 2004 and the big oil companies returned to the country, Tripoli was able to maintain a trade surplus of about $30 billion per year which was used largely to make foreign investments. The management of sovereign funds has however created a new mechanism of power and corruption in the hands of ministers and senior officials, which probably in part escaped the control of the Gadhafi himself: This is confirmed by the fact that, in 2009, he proposed that the 30 billion in oil revenues go "directly to the Libyan people." This aggravated the fractures within the Libyan government. 

U.S. and European ruling circles focused on these funds, so that before carrying out a military attack on Libya to get their hands on its energy wealth, they took over the Libyan sovereign wealth funds. Facilitating this operation is the representative of the Libyan Investment Authority, Mohamed Layas himself: as revealed in a cable published by WikiLeaks. On January 20 Layas informed the U.S. ambassador in Tripoli that LIA had deposited $32 billion in U.S. banks. Five weeks later, on February 28, the U.S. Treasury “froze” these accounts. According to official statements, this is "the largest sum ever blocked in the United States," which Washington held "in trust for the future of Libya." It will in fact serve as an injection of capital into the U.S. economy, which is more and more in debt. A few days later, the EU "froze" around 45 billion Euros of Libyan funds. 

The assault on the Libyan sovereign wealth funds will have a particularly strong impact in Africa. There, the Libyan Arab African Investment Company had invested in over 25 countries, 22 of them in sub-Saharan Africa, and was planning to increase the investments over the next five years, especially in mining, manufacturing, tourism and telecommunications. The Libyan investments have been crucial in the implementation of the first telecommunications satellite Rascom (Regional African Satellite Communications Organization), which entered into orbit in August 2010, allowing African countries to begin to become independent from the U.S. and European satellite networks, with an annual savings of hundreds of millions of dollars. 

Even more important were the Libyan investment in the implementation of three financial institutions launched by the African Union: the African Investment Bank, based in Tripoli, the African Monetary Fund, based in Yaoundé (Cameroon), the African Central Bank, with Based in Abuja (Nigeria). The development of these bodies would enable African countries to escape the control of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, tools of neo-colonial domination, and would mark the end of the CFA franc, the currency that 14 former French colonies are forced to use. Freezing Libyan funds deals a strong blow to the entire project. The weapons used by "the willing" are not only those in the military action called “Unified Protector.”

Bankster Wars - War for Profit

Putin: Who gave NATO right to kill Gaddafi? Answer: The Banksters!

Puppet of the Banksters: President Franklin D. Roosevelt

"For a long time I felt that FDR had developed many thoughts and ideas that were his own to benefit this country, the United States. But, he didn't. Most of his thoughts, his political ammunition, as it were, were carefully manufactured for him in advanced by the Council on Foreign Relations-One World Money group. Brilliantly, with great gusto, like a fine piece of artillery, he exploded that prepared "ammunition" in the middle of an unsuspecting target, the American people, and thus paid off and returned his internationalist political support.

"The UN is but a long-range, international banking apparatus clearly set up for financial and economic profit by a small group of powerful One-World revolutionaries, hungry for profit and power.

"The depression was the calculated 'shearing' of the public by the World Money powers, triggered by the planned sudden shortage of supply of call money in the New York money market....The One World Government leaders and their ever close bankers have now acquired full control of the money and credit machinery of the U.S. via the creation of the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank."

Curtis Dall, FDR's son-in-law as quoted in his book, "My Exploited Father-in-Law"

The Banking Scam and the Banksters are Toad Happy!

Why Gaddafi was Targeted by the Banksters!

The country of Libya as run by Gaddafi for the past 4 decades had one of the best growth rates in the world and was a model of  free reforms enabling the people to enjoy a very high standard of living along with excellent infrastructure that was built up on good planning. Here are the statistics:

1. GDP per person $14000+
2. Unemployment benefits $700+ per person
3. Every state subsidised family gets $1000+ annually
4. Nurses salary at $1000+
5. Every newborn child gets $7000 one time payment
6. Newly married couples receive $64000 for housing
7. No major taxes to parasitise the poor
8. Business assistance for setting up new ventures- a grant of $20,000.
9. Interest free loans for buying cars and homes
10. Free medical and pharmacies for the people.
11. Incentives for students to study abroad with financial aid and bursaries
12. NO electricity bill, as in a Muslim country, resources belong to the people, the state only administers these for the benefit of the people and not the reverse as is almost universal everywhere!
13. Sales of alcoholic drinks is prohibited.
14. Gasoline is cheaper than water at pre-invasion level of $0.14 per litre.

That's why the banksters want Gaddafi dead. He was making life good for his people - anathema for the banksters. Gaddafi was also setting up to nationalize the Petroleum companies like Exxon, Shell etc so that they were made to pay more for the oil they took!
Most important of all as according to the above video, Gaddafi was about to set up an Islamic Gold Standard where all payments were made in Gold Dinars. This would have BLED the banksters and  hence this new war on Libya!
