I believe that was Hitachi - part of the Terry Reed story. Reed worked undercover in that case and covered that in his book, Compromised: Bush, Clinton, and the CIA.
Crap. Apologies. You are correct. It was Toshiba.
Good post!
Nice that someone else knows what’s up
with regard to those bastard Japanese
mega companies. I honor your grandfather.
We buried my 90 yr old dad this past May.
He was in the PIs with the 511th PIR/11th
Airborne Div. They jumped into Luzon after
fighting across Leyte. Part of the 511th
jumped into a civilian POW camp called
Los Banos and rescued 2147 prisoners in
Feb ‘45 on Luzon. I have done extensive
research and have met many POWs over the years.
You know Bob,
you could build your own home with your own hands, from the foundation up into a beautiful habitable and no one would call you the ‘Home Builder’.
You could craft a cabin cruiser in your backyard, streamlined, seaworthy, ready to sail. And no one would call you the “Ship Builder”.
You could start your own town out in the middle of nowhere, from ‘scratch’, plat it, survey it off, develop it into a bustling metropolis ... and no one would call you the “City Builder”.
But you **** one goat ...
Those Jap bastards. Let’s kill ‘em!
“No apologies needed?”
I stand by my statement.
Curiously, a fellow was telling me of his uncle being captured on Luzon and who was used as slave labor by the Three Diamonds Company. That was three weeks ago.
The Jap bastards were easy, by comparison. How do we round up every mohamet, today, and encamp. Eh? More likely is the round-up of idiot white folks, particularly the Christian types. Well, I’m off to my truck stop Zen Lutheran Tribal give it your Best shot runnin’ Church...
Good. You have just as much of right to
stay ignorant as anyone else has the right to
be informed.
I always thought that ads for Misubishi cars should include the words: “made by the company that built the planes that bombed Pearl Harbor.” Of course the Mazda I drive was built in Hiroshima.
Just a point of order - the terms we enforced on Japan *severely* limited their armed forces. If we hadn’t defended Japan, they would have been quickly overrun by all the other countries in the area that had scores to settle. By modern conventions, the victor is responsible for the safety of the conquered.
Personally, I think that Japan’s account with us was marked more or less paid the second we dropped the second atomic bomb on them and asked if they would like a third delivery - much like an debt the Jews had for killing Jesus was erased with the loss of the Temple at the hands of angry Romans not terribly long after.
Japan’s account with *China*, though...
one on Mecca and one on Medina...
Spain, no
Finland, no -- they saw the Nazis as the lesser, farther evil compared to the closer evil of the Soviets -- and they were right, look at what happened to Estonia
Hungary - no
Romania - no
Italy - no
you are wrong....... that sale was made by Toshiba
“This is staged to open the door for Obama to apologize for the atomic bombs.”
A couple of hundred thousand deaths by atomic bombs, an estimated 1,000,000 allied casualties via invasion of the home islands or a million or two Japanese deaths by starvation had we waited it out.
No brainer on the A-bombs.
FO, you pompous @ss.
I did not state that the US should not
have defended Japan. I stated that American
taxpayers had to pay for it. Where were the
Japanese taxpayer dollars?
Ask the American slaves if the Japanese debt
was paid with an Atom bomb or two. Oh, I forgot
that the Japanese companies and government
stalled and ran out the clock.
What’s the matter? You get schooled by
someone who knows a little more about
the subject and feel the need to strike out?
You mean the ones Japan has been paying since 1947? Yes, the Japanese have been paying what we’ve asked them to pay - in fact, they just paid us a couple billion this year.
