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.
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.
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.
