Comfort women? No, they are prostitutes

I guess you already know what "comfort women" means; sexually abused women by Japanese military according to activists from Korea. Of course this is an alleged issue. Let me discuss the truth hidden behind this condemning from a perspective of a typical Japanese who once regret it already in 1980s and changed one's mind these years after a lot of personal investigation on the so-called "comfort women".

(1)Are these testimonies really reliable?
If testimonies have absolute reliability, I have another testimony from a Japanese side. When a Japanese lady was washing vegitables in the river, two Korean comfort women passed by her and laughed, "why can you do such a dirty work while you are beautiful? Why don't you look at us dressed with these beautiful outfits and change your mind? You are going to lead a happy life like us!"

(2) What about Korean?
Why don't Korean regret their own history of world-class prostitute industry? Not only US soldiers but Korean residents took advantage of comfort women along 동두천〔東豆川〕tongduch'ŏn in the Korean war. Depriving of women from their family and sell them as merchandise, that's their history.



(3)Comfort women pimps were mostly Korean
The problem of so-called "comfort women" (Ianpu) was severely discussed in Japan since 1980s. As a representive of Japanese government, Kono made a statement and apologized in 1993 for their physicological loss as comfort women. He was pursuaded by a number of protesters at that time, and said "they had to work as comfort women at that time and Japanese soldiers used that system." Since this statement was announced, a lot of research has been implemented. As the truth have been unraveled, however, people's interest has been lost due to small involvement by Japanese military. It turned out that Korean comfort women were torn apart from their family by Korean traders (for details go to (2)). It's their own karma. Kono lately admitted that he made a decision with only testimonies he heard at an interview with former comfort women. No evidence in literature was found after then although it turns out critical discripancies were found in their tenstimonies. The term "involvement of military" is very tricky. Japanese military at that time prepared facilities to house comfort women and have doctors see them to prevent them from VD (see (2) for details). If somebody forcefully dragged their hands into the salons, it's Korean public dealers. Of course there were a lot of applications to become comfort women on account of extraordinary sallery. They ought to have been paid that much since they provided their body far away from their home town.

Anyway, foreign newspapers typically know few about the lowdown of the disputed issue. Onishi Norimitsu at New York Times should investigate it more and present solid evidences if accusing Japan's response. Otherwise people are now gossiping about you, suspecting you may be zainichi(Korean).

For those who still doublt about me, I'll cite a material. Please confer:
Report No. 49: Japanese POW Interrogation on Prostitution.
UNITED STATES OFFICE OF WAR INFORMATION
http://www.exordio.com/1939-1945/codex/Documentos/report-49-USA-orig.html
This investigation clarifies the definition of so-called "comfort women".

A "comfort girl" is nothing more than a prostitute or "professional camp follower" attached to the Japanese Army for the benefit of the soldiers.

(4)There's no freedom of speech in Korea
(Sep.6 2004 from Chosun Ilbo)

Professor Yi (李栄薫) at Seoul National University, apologized to the comfort women for sating "they were prostitutes" after avalanche of criticisms. Totalitarianization doesn't allow academia to make a free speech. Note that there are lots more scholars who were criticized because of their interpretations in favor of Japanese rule before 1945.


(5)What about their current disaster in North Korea?
The culture of "comfort women" can be seen in North Korea, too. They are collected from all over the country and used as sex slaves to satisfy insatiable sexual appetite of Kim Jong Il. Working as sex slaves and serve to him is taught as honorable. Condemning Japanese is thus effective to avert other's attention onto their own countries and overshadowing their own current discrepancy.

Now the police is doing their job

They say frontline officers had been frustrated with high-handed methods by zainichi from North Korea. Every time before they raid on the buildings, they got an order to stop them from raiding. However, the top official appointed by Japanese PM Abe pledged a hard-line attitude toward North Korea. The succesive raids defenately reflect their policy. One of the arrests included a remarkable result, capturing a big scientist who learned Engineering at Tokyo university. He was a representative figure on development Taepodong. Other arrests on Koreans may not be related to North Korea, but I listed them.

I wanted to describe the details on each raid, but it's so many! Let me just make short comments: See this article or this for the past raids. You may see how terrific zainichi's reactions are. It's like Yakuza. Well, they are indeed Yakuza if you get to know the truth, though.


2006 Dec. 5th
An arrest on 河 英哲（36）in Kobe. I posted this once. Click here for details.




Dec. 25th
Eight member group was arrested on "It's me" fraud. 李 貴信(28) and the other 7 members have defrauded 250 people of $250,000 by promising.


Jan. 10th Kobe, Hyogo
金 滝夫（44）performing tax services without license.
The raid mobilized 100~300 members of police vs 100 members for DPRK.



Jan. 24th in Tokyo
曺 和秀(71), arrested on unlicensed plastic surgery at Ebisu Clinic.





Jan. 28th in Shiga
全達守（68）and 金 定雄（63）were arrested on fraud registration for vehecles.


Jan. 29th in Kanagawa
Two Korean were arrested on unauthorized personnel-service business. But it was aimed at arresting a scientist, 徐 錫洪(74), who had something to do with development of missiles, Taepodong. He is known to have flown to DPRK once in August, 1998 and last year when the missiles "Taepodong" were launched. He was an expert in rocket engineering in Tokyo university. After graduation at Tokyo University, he continued his study on propulsion device at a nearby institute.




Feb.1st in Aichi
金 在七 (48) was arrested on theft of Budda statues from shrines on August 3rd 2005. The rest of two member of the gang flew away to Korea. They stabbed a dagger into the dweller of the temple.

Feb. 1st in Fukushima
史 明順(32) was arrested on selling fake Chanel.


Feb.5th in Hokkaido
A restaurant was raided in Sapporo, Hokkaido.
金 和秀 and two other were arrested. The police cracked down on tax cheats a hundred million yen (~ $ 1,000,000). They've got two Orders of First-class National Flag from DPRK. Probably they contributed a lot to the government by cheating tax.



Feb. 6th in Kobe, Hyogo
A raid was executed collecting 600 members of police.


The new trend of their canpaign is use young ladies in front and let them shout. I just wonder from where they appeared.



According to a Japanese blogger who ran into this raid, it was a never-seen-before melee with huge roar.

Feb. 15th in Kanagawa
曹 守夫(62) was arrested on murder while drunk.

Feb. 22nd in Fukuoka
白 行雄(45) was arrested on assistance in robbery into Pachinko shop in Jan. 27th 2003.


One of the purposes of those raids is of course cutting money source for DPRK. Since their tax declaration had been free from inspection by their local tax office, cheating was pretty easy. They send money to DPRK in part due to their loyalty. Investigation of organized crime, abduction, by zainichi groups is another reason. The abductions were well-planned crimes carried out by spies with support of local zainichi civilians.

I've found more more crimes by Koreans during this past three months, but I'm out! So tired.

Takeshima or Dokdo

No one would be interested in discussing a territorial dispute between Japan and South Korea unless their countries are either one of the two (Takeshima: Japanese name, Dokdo:Korean name). You know that both sides may have each reason, so I'm not insisting this time; in fact, I already did it in this article, reminding you of an incident where South Korea carried out abductions and massacre on Japanese in 1952 after WWII. Koreans may defend themselves, taking up a period under Japanese rule as an exploitation . Considering both claims would be needed by all means for a neutral opinion.

What I'd like to focus on in this article is the apathic attitude of Japanese on this issue, which partly makes a contrast with that of Korean. First of all, Japanese citizens are not eager as well as government and mass media. Only one prefecture, Shimane, seems desperate, though. Some rightists including me or 2ch(message board) have been the opinion leader. The reason for the apathy surrounding almost entire Japanese is partly because this issue is barely described as a significant one in history textbooks, spending only several lines. Korean(zainichi)-polluted mass media would never agitate people. So, most of the Japanese got surprised to see the extraordinary reaction of Korean, who insanely cry out for their legitimacy. Asahi newspaper once said, "why don't we give it to them?", and this newspaper hasn't retracted the remark. Some of the readers got disgusted, but it's not far from a taboo.

On the other hand, South Korean people are very different; it's like the whole country moves forward without any exception.
Oi, look at the photo above. They teach chidlren as if it's must be an eternal truth no one can reverse.

I ran into a blog, written by lostseouls.com from England, writing an interesting experience, a conversation with a boy. He was asked by the boy if he's known Dokdo(Korean's name for the disputed island) issue. It's very funny. Let's see other pics I found:

Wow, that's .... Yikes!



The woman is stepping on a Japanese soldier.


Sorry if you like dogs as a target of love! Dog heads are aligned with name tags of pro-Japanese members. In South Korea, nothing else sounds scarier than someone points you as pro-Japanese. Gee, Korean really are different from us.



I'm obliged to show Japanese rightish aspect on Takeshima. Here's one of rare photos of Uyoku vans protesting against Korean about Takeshima. This Uyoku group, "Minzoku seinen doumei", turned out that a Korean (金Kim 教換Gyo-Whan) is the head. As I mentioned, many Uyoku are already taken over by Korean to become "fake Uyoku". But in this rare case, they seem to be still anti-Korean.

Whitewashing history? ---- truth of alleged Nanjing massacre (2)

This time I'll focus just on Japanese propaganda carried out to inform that the Japanese troops helped Chinese people in 1937 after fall of Nanjing. (Note that I'm not negating all those incidents around that time. I'm just giving another perspective here.)

I hated those pictures a while ago because those pics were after censorship, and you never know what had happened behind those pictures. Look at the picture below. With a close look, you'll find a Chinese kid wearing Japanese flag around his left arm. That obviously stinks! Needless to say, Japan attempted to artifically produce a good mood.

(Dec. 20th in Nanking within a week after fall of Nanking.)


However, my opinion has changed affirmatively due to the following reasons:

1)Japanese troops allowed many Japanese camera crew to enter Nanking; it indicates that Japan knew Kuomintang started negative canpaign activities in US. The Japanese in Nanking were desperate not to let Kuomintang government do it.

2)Those pictures decorated headlines in newspapers in Japan after fall of Nanking, saying "do not hate Chinese" or "Japanese troops have a warm relationship with Chinese people." Although those phrases would arouse criticisms or evoke disgust, those attitude by newspapers contributed to cultivating humanity in Japan. Moreover, it must be a good education to soldiers who go on the warpath. Japanese people still held the concept of human rights even after they were hurt by a brutal killingfield, Tongzhou Incident in 1937 near Beijing (Japanese civillains were killed, and it indirectly triggered full-scale war). At least it seems that general opinion in Japan didn't accept a radical opinion, "You can do whatever to Chinese."
Anyway, it was evident that information war for morality was very significant to obtain support from people. Kuomintang got to be known to have killed very brutaly in China mainland throughout the war. It led Kuomintang to be defeated by Communist party in a long run.

(Dec.20 or 23 where a Chinese kid was treated by a Japanese medical troop.)

(Dec. 17th, some restrants were already open in the safe district. A japanese soldier is eating dumplings.)

(Dec. 16th, cf. Nanking fell at night on Dec 12th.)

(Dec. 19th, a kid is adored by Japanes soldiers.)

(Feb. 26th, Japanese women walking in the street in Nanking.)

Do you totally believe after seeing those pics that Japanese troops really gave good administration? I don't think so. I don't want you to think so, either. But I just want yout to agree that the world 70 years ago was just like Iraq where visual information plays an important role in shaping international opinion.

(made in spring through summer in 1938, a postcard of a market sold in Nanking. A careful check allows you to read "Sino-Japanese blur blur" in the banner. If the order was "Japan-Sina blur blur", it would have hurt people's feeling. )

(This pictures reached Osaka Oct.15th 1937 before fall of Nanking. The bombardments by Japanese bombers destroyed buildings. These pictures were not permitted to appear due to censorship. The red stamps say it.)

In essence, all those pictures I have shown shouldn't have much value although they are effectively appealing more than writings. I'm just showing them just for giving another perspective.

Fake Uyoku - obscure clans (4)

An arrest of zainichi (Korean) taken place February 16th 2007 made me deeply ascertain my speculation, Fake Uyoku, which are ultra-nationalists acting vandalisms, may be mainly composed of Korean. (This car is the very starting point of my speculation.) More investigation unraveled one mystery after another and reached a horrible mastermind, North Korea. The Uyoku (rightist) turned out not Uyoku (rightist) but Sayoku(leftist)!




Police arrested Li Kazuo, 이일웅 (63) on a charge of extortion of his company, Trust Japan, to domestic companies, selling books of "History of Buraku discrimination" and "Japanese northern territory deprived of by Russia." for $4000. They have earned 1.8 billion yen ($18,000,000) in three years.

At a glance of this news, I sensed that this must be a job by Koreans, not knowing the suspect's name. There's two reasons:
1)Fake Uyoku eagerly claim Japanese northern territory againt Russia while their activities against South Korea (an islet Takeshima) have been lacking spirit. Rumors say this gap is owing to the fact that a number of Uyoku (rightists) members are not Japanese rightists, but Fake Uyoku, disguised by Korean.
2)It is well-known that zainichi(Korean) have a tight relationship with Buraku people who have been discriminated for more than 100 years. People say many Buraku people are already taken over by Korean, and getting more and more aggressive.



My guess was right. They have extorted contributions as a book expense with a threat "otherwise Uyoku cars will barge in."



I drew an illustration for better understanding. Zainichi founded a vender that sells books. Of course the price of the book is extraordinary. However, the company can compulsively sell those books to nearby companies once everyone knows Uyoku cars may stroll for obstruction of business. In order to avoid sucha an extortion, they make an easy compromise, paying $4000 for 5 books.

What is interesting to me is that Trust Japan, Inc. has a connection to Uyoku cars. They let Uyoku cars exist to exert their power. Citizens regard those Uyoku as ultranationalists dragging imperialism from prewar era, but now you know why I am calling them Fake Uyoku? They are no more than extortion groups who have no faith in country.

The past three articles, (1) (2) and (3), deal with three remarkable incidents accompanied by those Uyoku groups, and they are of course Fake Uyoku, having a relation to Korean.

Since Koizumi and Abe regimes, those clans have been severely monitored by police and prosecution. In other words, they were never be arrested just because they could cast the magic spell, "Don't you ever discriminate people like us."

The problem of Fake Uyoku is one of the major dark sides of post-war society.


Appendix added on 2/24/2007
Part of the money TrustJapan earned turned out to be donated to a lawmaker, Wada Shizuo (80), who was a big member of Socialist Party of Japan (Pro-China, USSR, DPRK). "He was also the president of TrustJapan," the Hiroshima police announced. He went to DPRK in 1999 from August 12 to 19th as the representative of Japan-DPRK Friendship Center. I say he is a so-called fellow traveler of North Korea. He went to DPRK in 1997, too, so there's no doubt about that. (Due to lack of diplomatic relations between DPRK and Japan, going to DPRK are rarely made unless you have a special occasion.)

We sometimes say an irony about leftists: just because they claim too much liberty from nation, Japan now has no protection against spies, other threats, or crimes. This incident means a lot to me. The mastermind was a fellow traveler of North Korea. He had a friendship with DPRK, utilized Korean, made them disguise themselves as Uyoku, threatened people to extort money, and created a mood that rightist were dangerous.

Fake Uyoku - obscure clans (3)

Who is always behind terrorisms in Japan?
The Fake Uyoku (fake rightists) series now counts three (see series 1 and 2) because otherwise you don't understand the mechanics of the nation Japan. Here I will dare to approach to the kernel of the power of Japan, focusing on an incident, an arson attack, back to August 2006 when an issue was annoyingly disputed: Yasukuni shrine. The conclusion of mine derived this time about the criminal of this incident after close investigation has once again ended with ambiguous thoughts. This time, a possible mastermind, Korean, is introduced and discussed. The mastermind who requested a Uyoku member to commit this arson was most likely Korean smelled ultra-rightists. The clientele may also exist who gave money to the mastermind. To facilitate understanding the complexity of the political rivalry, I drew a map below. In the following I'll explain the incident with this map.



*Arson attack to pro-Chinese politician after Koizumi's Yasukuni visit*
At that time, mass media was fomenting TV viewers about Yasukuni shrine and casting a question about Koizumi's visit to Yasukuni shrine. One of China-friendly politician, Kato Koichi, showed himself frequently on TV programs and expounded his theory against Koizumi and Abe. He was the de-facto main spokesman of various objectors.

Koizumi visited the shrine against mass media's impedance after all, and I thought the dispute would be over until the next year. However, another headline came just after his visit: Kato's mother's home was alledgedly set on fire. A suspect was arrested but no Japanese knew his name until ChosunIlbo, a Korean newspaper firstly exposed the suspect's name, Horigome Masahiro(65). All of Japanese mass media reported this arson attack except his name and the group he belonged to. This simple fact indicates that no mass media was allowed to report for the sake of some impotant indivisuals or groups in Japan. Asahi or Mainichi newspaper usually attacks Koizumi or Abe with an extreme obsession. Note that criticism to the Prime Minister is even allowed. But there seems a scarier taboo than the PM. I was all puzzled.


*Yakuza(mafia) and its dummy rightist group*
The group, the criminal belonged to, turned out to be a descendent of Sumiyoshikai, a big Yakuza (mafia) group from Tokyo area. The Yakuza used a dummy Fake Uyoku (rightist) group and had the criminal pretend to belong to the dummy. The criminal, Horigome insisted he did it himself, but it was apparent that he was just a rogue who does anything for money. He once was arrested for extortion several years ago. So there's no way he did it for his own noble belief. Did he go to Yasukuni shrine and report his achievement to war deads? NO. He doesn't worship Yasukuni shrine at all. There's got to be someone who ordered him to do it.

Koizumi, Abe, Ishihara, Mori, or other conservatives are likely to be the clientele
Finally I found a connection of Sumiyoshikai (mafia) to the mastermind candidate. Sumiyoshikai was closely seeing Kishi Nobusuke, the grandfather of the current Prime Minister, Abe. There's therefore a strong possibility that Abe requested Sumiyoshikai to burn Kato's house. Since nobody can object Sumiyoshikai, the perfect crime is done.

While investigating these relations, I found a strange paradox. Abe claims liberation of abducted Japanese from North Korea. He strongly insists on economic sanction against NK. On the other hand, Sumiyoshikai is well-known for its underground business, drug smuggling with North Korea. How can we corner NK if Sumiyoshikai is still set free from Abe? If Abe doesn't want to be blamed for this, he ought to pursue true criminal for god's sake. Well, but it's never going to be possible to eliminate Yakuza group completely as well as Koreans. All Abe can do would be to put unsaid pressure on Yakuza groups not to deal drugs any more. So did Abe or Koizumi send the criminal? Wm, I don't know. Koizumi and Abe are known to be very careful about using Yakuza groups. Their positions are not as tough as their titles sound once they are blackmailed for this reason. My point is, they wouldn't dare to do it just for threatening. They would even erase Kato if they wanted to sanction him. Firing a house is what a cheap one does. (Erasing a politician costs a lot of money.) Although Koizumi and Abe could be still the chief suspects, I'll refrain from asserting it.

Let us take a look at another aspect of Abe. His grandfather, Kishi, established a group in rivalry with communists. At that time, CIA, Japan, and South Korea collaborated underground very actively. Abe's grandfather had a strong connection with South Korean's military government. So was Abe's father. He had big pipes with political arena of South Korea. Abe's wife, Akie, speaks Korean very fluently. I don't know how come his family are so close to South Korea. Anyhow, I can smell a strong anti-communism from their family history. It's only his family. Nothing smells like that from Koizumi or other's families. From this standpoint, the arson against Kato, China lobby, makes sense.

Ultra-rightist Zainichi(Korean) got money and sent the criminal
Now let us go on to the next hierarchy, ultra-rightist Zainichi(Korean). This is very probable from my point of view. We can note the presence of those nationalistic zainichi who in part are typically anti-communists while the other are pro-North Korea, trying to undermine Japanese government for the past 50 years. The anti-communist side has attacked China or USSR, communists. But the are a little tickler because they may form a united front with Japan(see series 1). They protest against communism, yet they are conciliatory toward North Korea which is a communist's country. I haven't seen many incidents like this arsons attacking North Korean agencies (General Association of Korean Residents) in spite of communism. It indeed happened(see series 2) when it comet to against China. Perhaps two clans share sense of common bonds as Korean. Look back at my past two posts here and here. Always Korean are coming out.



Since Sumiyoshikai (Japanese mafia) is already known to have plotted this arson attack, there seems no need of discussion on Korean. However, the things are not that simple. Let's see the address of the dummy group made up by Sumiyoshikai. It is located in Northern Shinjuku, Tokyo. This place is also famous for Korean Town, and you'll see many Korean shops or offices here and there. For example, the map indicates the locations of Korean restaurants by red circles. The dummy Uyoku office is smack in the middle of this Korean town. More interestingly, there's an office of North Korea (General Association of Korean Residents) that is one of the bases for internal maneuvering.


Why Korean again? I also obtained information on this dummy fake Uyoku group. Several years ago, they once attempted landing on a disputed island between Japan and China. Looks like they have used this Shinjuku office for a long time. So I can't see the case of Sumiyoshikai borrowing this address without a permission from Korean town. All I can suspect is Sumiyoshikai is already infilterated by a number of Korean members, gets too familiar with drug business with North Korea, and commits crimes for money.

The victim of this arson attack, Kato, shouldn't have a connection with these ultra-rightists. So I don't think Kato played his own work, nor did China. This incident is therefore interpreted straightfowarly as a message to Kato, "Don't get close to communists ever again."

(the title used to include only "Uyoku", but it has been changed to "fake Uyoku" because "Uyoku" only means "rightist", and in this case they are not considered true rightists.)
