JAPANESE News Blog Picking Up ACORN Nationwide Scandal; Explaining/Linking To Sting Videos (& Obama)

Mikerosstky Japan ^ | 16 September 2009 | AmericanInTokyo

HERE

The various biggovernment.com and FOX News videos are linked.

The group ACORN is explained in Japanese to the Japanese readers. It also points toward the Obama Administration and structural corruption with respect to this group, misuse of tax dollars, etc..

There is another updated web page in Japanese separate from this one, entitled "They Did It Again!", showing further videos of ACORN people involved in such sordid actions and suggestions, caught by hidden camera.

This is only a blog, but it could be picked up by mass media in Japan very easily, which will latch on to something like this if encouraged enough.

[AmericanInTokyo]

The kicker was the headline in one of these pages:

ACORN:未成年売春斡旋者にローンと税金の手ほどき

"(at) ACORN: Able to get hands on loan money from taxes, for the purposes of underage child prostitution brokerage"

[Minus_The_Bear]

Wow! So Japanese news outlets are breaking this story before US MSM?

[counterpunch]

The Japanese have a better read on what is going on in America than Charlie Gibson...

[AmericanInTokyo]

Well, it is (just) a blog, by a conservative Japanese, but nonetheless it should no doubt then spread to their weeklies and tabloids, and then finally perhaps mainstream dailies and TV shows. Just give it time. The thing about this is that it really damages the heretofore sacrosanct image of “The Messiah”, if anything.

[Frantzie]

Obama IS ACORN.

This is why the MSM is trying to ignore it.

[ResponseAbility]

Since this is not going away anytime soon because of all the tapes yet to be released, the smart journalists and bloggers from around the world will translate and spread this news. This will definitely bring in the viewers.

[GeronL]

cool!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Blogger poses this fun, cynical question on one of the pages, following a video clip:

オバマ氏のHope and Changeってどういう意味だろう？

("Just WHAT is the meaning of this "Hope and Change" from Obama??")

[GeronL]

At least CBN News is talking about it and it has viewers through the 700 Club on cable & broadcast stations. That means a lot of people who will never heard it in the MSM will hear about it and spread the message.

I also think conservatives should create their own online TV channels, maybe they can model them on CBN Live. Its a good set up.

If one thing I learned and that is you can move the domestic mainstream MSM in the US if you engineer enough coverage of something outside of the US by foreign press sources, such to the point that they cannot ignore it anymore because they would otherwise appear to be so blatantly agendae-d, bought off, or incompetent and jokes of their profession. The pressure has to build to that point. Call it "responsibility-based reverse engineering".

Kiwis, Aussies, Brits, Canadians, Koreans, others in the news biz worldwide are just now picking this ACORN-sting thing up it seems, despite the by-and-large ostrich US MSM, (on purpose). Poor Charles Gibson. Some people are just the last to get the memo....

That and they don’t want to piss off black peeps:

I am going to get it Japan YouTubed and then bumped like crazy.

If Tom Green can do it, we can too.

MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN !!!!!!!!

kakkatte koi!! (and old battle cry in Japanese from FR in days past)....

[American Constitutionalist]

ACORN LOVE :

paid for :
by the master community re organizer: Brothel Obama.

[American Constitutionalist]

It’s time for CONGRESS to call for Impeachment hearings now !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ResponseAbility]

This story is as big or bigger than Woodward and Bersteins little puff piece years ago...lol. It is already becoming apparent that the State Run Media is just a mouthpiece for the DNC. They only cover what makes conservatives(and sometimes the RNC) look bad...ignoring things like this.

This reporting by O’Keefe and Giles is uncovering a huge pile of rot in both the government and the media, that may take down more than just the intended target. I am just loving the collateral damage.

[txhurl]

bttt

[1035rep]

Wonderful! Maybe Gibson will learn something.

[HerrBlucher]

Looks like this story has legs, oh yeahhhhhh!

[GeronL]

I would love to see David Horowitz, Richard Poe, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin and Mark Steyn get together to plan an online TV venture. They could start small with an hour per day and grow from there.

I wouyld really like to see several conservative/libertarian channels being formed. I really think its important for the future.

[AmericanInTokyo]

There was some interesting give and take in the comments section on this guy's blog here in Japan. A snippet is below in the unfiltered original. Essentially he is pondering "what is this "Czar" thing with Obama and the Americans. And points to it's potential illegality and questions if it is indicative of a "Chicago Mafia" control over the White House:

Ross MikeRossTkyさんの投稿: Czarは議会で承認を得なくても任命できる人材を確保する為にオバマ氏が作ったいわいる”影の政府”。 リベラルエリート・Statistsの人たちが庶民から隠れて政治を行う環境を整える為ですね。 9 月 9 日 Shah亜歴さんの投稿: そもそもCzarとは何なのですか？Secretary of ～のように公式の地位なのか非公式なのかわかりにくいところです。このあいまいさは懸念すべきことです。そしてCzarの上に立つ大統領とは、まさかGod? それは置くとして、このCzarなるポストを作った理由は 1)　大統領に能力がないので非公式の責任者に個々の政策課題を丸投げするため 2)　シカゴ・マフィアの政治的手法をホワイトハウスで実践している どちらなのでしょうか？私は2)が60%、1)が40%の理由ではと見ていますが、他にもこのような不透明なポストの設置の理由があるのでしょうか？ Shah亜歴 http://newglobal-america.tea-nifty.com 9 月 8 日

I don't know the significance of the apparent fact that these tapes were made in 2005, but wondered that there has been no notice. They sat idle for four years? Perhaps the owner of the tape machine didn't properly set the date, or set it so not to betray the exact date on which the tapes were made? Whatever, while Acorn is not the most dangerous component of the Soros/Axelrod axis, the expose shows corruption which is easier for most to understand than the intentionally obtuse real aims behind Obamacare, cap-and-trade, bank takeovers, the insinuation of Sharia law into social and banking interests, active sponsorship of Islam by our state department, and the latest, the move to reorganize the world's financial systems. Soros, Chavez, the UN, and the IMF anyone?

[AmericanInTokyo]

Tapes were not made in 2005.

The undercover reporter merely had each video set on the factory default timer, which was set at 2005. He did not want to fiddle with it each time he went to record.

[AmericanInTokyo]

A very popular book in Japan right now--(I saw it prominently up front at at Tokyo bookstore yesterday next to a new Japanese book saying that Obama will be out of the White House in two years' time due to resignation) is a Japanese translation of "America's Underground Economy", written by an Indian American named Venkatesh, who took as his study topic, a ghetto in Chicago; he went into the whole system of prostitution, avoiding taxes, every scam imagineable, people not following rules and laws, everything that is indicative of the immoral behavior of all of these ACORN people caught on tape.

The Yomiuri Online Japan website even refers to this book as telling a story in Obama's home town area, and theorizing if this kind of system is what is in store for America in a larger sense.

I am telling you folks out there back in America, a LOT of foreigners overseas see America these days much more clearly than many Americans who are even there themselves, least of which would be the elite, know it all, collusive US Mass Media which is criminal in its silence, which the whole world is going to be aware of soon.

[B-Chan]

LOL "リベラルエリート"

[Tamar1973]

Then why have the Japanese been so enamored with Obama up to this point?

[AmericanInTokyo]

you can say THAT again, B-Chan.

sorry also, for not pinging you. mea robert culpa

[AmericanInTokyo]

boom, fad, bandwagon, and the media told them to think that way

[nutmeg]

Wow! So Japanese news outlets are breaking this story before US MSM?

Incredible. Thanks so much, American In Tokyo. I find it very interesting to get the Japanese media's take on our politics and scandals here in the US...

[AmericanInTokyo]

Here is some insight about Obama's popularity in Japan (up until recently, where his star is now fading fast it seems), from The Economist, in March of 1988 (but still relavant today):

"THE word in Japanese for a new craze is buumu, like the English word boom. Buumus sell things. The tango, foreign foods and travel fads have all done well. But the widespread craze for nostalgia, known as retro-buumu, may turn out to be the most successful buumu of all. Young Japanese have been looking at their country's past, and deciding that they like it. Traditional clothes, food and culture are getting their nod. The young are writing haiku poems, just as their grandparents (but not their parents) did. A limited edition of Nissan's Be-1 car, which looks as if it ..."

Another explanation (mine) would be, who in their right mind could get EXCITED over John McCain!? He had to be one of the WORST candidates the GOP has ever run for president.....

[Stand Watch Listen]

This just in...Top Story Tonight...

Charlie Gibson _still unaware!!!

[txhurl]

The RNC knew Obama was inevitable, and let this happen in order to hoist the Community Organizer(s) on their petard.

[torchthemummy]

The undercover reporter merely had each video set on the factory default timer, which was set at 2005. He did not want to fiddle with it each time he went to record.

My guess is O'Keefe and Giles left the 2005 date preset on not because it would be a pain to change every time they did a new tape since it's easy to do so and would seem to be a pertinent thing to do. They left it there so that the inevitable claim by ACORN sycophants that there was something fishy because of the date would just add to their amazing display of cognitive dissonance.

This is how it is done folks. You don't just get "one in the can" but multiple ones to show a pattern. As juicy as one episode or the second one may be, you make duplicates, store in a safe place and continue until you have a body of evidence before you pull the trigger.

This needs to be done in, say, high schools and colleges over an entire semester or year. Then the student can make an accusation, let the teacher then deny, and then release the evidence. And then continue to drip, drip, drip. In the end you can't cover all classrooms but it has a trickle down effect on other far left educational propagandists.

It is said that an armed community is a polite community. Ditto for a community armed with cameras and microphones. And what scares the left to death is that they know this can never really be stopped. And even worse for them is the fact that when they try to do their egg-on undercover pieces like sending people dressed as Muslims to NASCAR events and hoping for fireworks, lo and behold, people don't take the bait.They just can't fathom that conservatives believe in individuals and a color-blind society not just as slogans but as real life morality. They believe all the Nazi stuff about conservatives but ignore the very crimes of far left countries around the world that violate every tenet they claim to believe in.

I've started a running file on ACORN, hosted at our sister site:

 The Issa Report- ACORN "a criminal enterprise..."

[knarf]

My Filipina fiancee wants to know all about the revolution that we are having here.

Apparently that's how the Philippine TV is portaying us

[bmwcyle]

Obama is ACORN and ACORN is Obama.

Repeat this over and over to everyone.

[knarf]

"Whatever, while Acorn is not the most dangerous component of the Soros/Axelrod axis .. "

Hmmmm ... let's think about that a bit ...

Carter signs the CRA in '77 (in what I thought was his pre-emptive set-up for his return to civilian life and his you-build-it scam).

I haven't REALLY studied this but, ACORN was the vehicle to do the leg/paper work for all those housing loans that needed to be bailed out so quickly ... that, in such a short and speedy time has brought us to this point.

[Spaulding]

Thanks AmericanInTokyo. That was one of my guesses. It would have shown some foreknowledge of the role of Acorn - which certainly possible. Not that 4 years would have been detectable in any case, Hannah said she was twenty years old, and she didn’t look or act 16 yo during the interviews. Well, perhaps, having walked by some local high schools, I can’t use that argument!

[rabidralph]

The Japanese love a good hidden camera story :-)

[rabidralph]

Nothing is stopping anybody from posting videos to YouTube. My county party has its own cable access show and then we post the 15-minute show on YouTube afterwards.

[GeronL]

good. We need much more of that kind of stuff.

[ballplayer]

BINGO!

[Dem Guard]

It looks like we have to import honest journalism as well, except for Fox and talk radio....

[Dem Guard]

Well how insulting can it be that he is being replaced by
Diane Sawyer? Talk about a walking-talking dumb blonde joke!

[AmericanInTokyo]

I really do think the next huge march in D.C. or around the US simultaneously at various places ala Tea Parties, SHOULD be clearly against the SCM (State Controlled Media), using all manner of pressure, humor, ridicule. Also I no longer am going to call them the "MSM". I urge all of you to do likewise....

[agere_contra]

SCM, good idea!
