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.

Wonderful! Maybe Gibson will learn something.

Looks like this story has legs, oh yeahhhhhh!

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.....

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

Charlie Gibson _still unaware!!!

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

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.
