You think the O gave the Chinese Taiwan? I do. Not sure why, just waiting to see what is next in this ugly saga.

Your words are kind.

We are all in this together.

We are in fact struggling to save our Republic...oh the libs and communists will read this and snicker and mock us, but we all know the cliff we are headed off with this amateur and idiot at the helm in Washington.

These are "FReepranslations" to be exact.

A bunch of us here do it, I can think of at least 10 or so around the world or in the US knowledgeable of a language or region. TLR must be at the pinnacle. (regarding tricky, sensitive Korean Peninsula matters). Kudos are always due that individual, a great resource and always interesting material not seeing the light of day in the English language press which gives a bigger, truer picture of in fact what is really going on beyond the purvey of the State Controlled Media in the USA.

How afraid are the Japanese (and I mean the average folks you talk to in your daily life) at how kissy face Obama is with N. Korea? I know Japan was shaky after the missile tests and such. Understandably so. Kim Jong Il will feel like he can get away with anything if the only one he fears is the US and the US won’t do anything because the US fears China.

“In the real world, they just laugh at him for his college hang-out mindset, and take whatever they can get from him. Meanwhile, Obama seems to think some larger group like the UN will bring everyone together and say “Now, Obama has been very nice to you, so you have to give him something in return.”

Here’s the thing. Sitting around in college and getting high (which we know he did. Hell, I did!) and pontificating on how to solve the world’s problems IS NOT how it works in the real world. Sitting around high and discussing the beautiful world of communism and equality and blah blah blah is NOT how it works in reality.

Unfortunately the hippies and the next generation underneath them have taken over and we are seeing how WRONG they really really are.

Average Japanese people were "jazzed", across the board, when Obongo was elected and later on inaugurated.

That has died down to some extent. A year is a long time. Now they are not as jazzed, although the media still by and large tells them to be supportive. There are conservative sectors of the media increasingly telling the truth. Just as in reaching the American People with the truth by bypassing the MSM, it is much the same about Obama here. Trying to get to them and bypass the liberal JMSM as well. A challenging endeavour but not hopeless. In fact, fissures and cracks are starting to develop. The North Korean summer launches were the first big shock to the system.

The elite establishment lib media, whether in D.C. or Tokyo--makes no material difference--play the same old worn out apologetic-for-Obama tunes on the same old Wurlitzer. They all have a worldwide agenda. This thing is seamless. On the flip side, the forces of GOOD in my opinion, should link up. For example, I would invite conservatives/anti-communists/pro-free marketeers in Japan who have something particularly informative on Obama while he was in Japan that has not made known in the ignorant or controlled US press, even if their English is not so good, to please Freepmail some of us and we could touch up their English and/or translate such hot, reputable articles for confirmed sources, and get them on Free Republic in English as a way to deepen our international news coverage and go around the US State Sponsored Media bubble of positiv, hyper-uncritical reporting on The Messiah.

Thanks for your many posts and translations.

I notice the Japanese have no problem calling the PRC ‘communist China’.

Of course! Everything for Asia, and a neat dictatorship is so profitable.

The banking cartel gave him his talking points. They own him.

Funny how Barry's campaign promises to back Main St. and take on Wall St. fall to the designs of something above Wall Street known as the international banking cartel; or, by their wholly - owned domestic entity, the Federal Reserve Bank.

I already added Poland. Yeah, Czech Republic. Actually, all the emergent democracies from the former Soviet bloc should be on the list.

As one of those people a few years ago over whom those Taepodong missiles flew, I will tell you, “shaky” does not begin to describe how unsettling it was. We did not know if it was the start of a war. We did not know what was in those missiles. We wished Japan had a missile defense system in place. There were some loud idiots who feared having a missile defense would provoke a missile attack but that lack of logic didn’t prevail.

This brings up a strong point though. It shows just how important it is for the legislative branch to keep the executive branch in check. 2010 is so vital for our future.
