I still don’t understand what motivated the Japanese to do so. They must have known they couldn’t have invaded, nor taken much land even if they could. They did try to invade Alaska but eventually all committed suicide.

They should have invaded the west coast at the same time they attacked Pearl Harbor, or a few days afterward. Then they could have F’d us up bad.

Much food for thought there, thanks.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

These aspects were delineated by Professor Emeritus, Doctor Gilbert Allardyce of the University of New Brunswick Department of History.

He is world famous as an expert on the subject of fascism.He taught us about the world wide fascist movements which swept modern society from 1920 onwards.There were movements in every country of Europe and the Americas, all meeting with varying degrees of success.

I was fortunate to be one of 7 students selected for his honors seminar on the History of Fascism in Europe while I was an undergradualte in 1971/1972.He had published a short text on the subject, of 128 pages.

Of course, progressives and leftists have been trying to criticize and dissemble Allardyce’s work for over 2 generations, without success mind you.

Allardyce never did restrict fascism to an evolution of the far right. He too understood fascism to have evolved from the left, from an extended development of nationalist socialism. Fascism had little to do with the far right other than it can co-opt the far right and exceed its boundaries of civil society. But then , fascism does that to an entire culture of country, not just to the far right, a trans-formative utopian social disease. There is no such thing as generic fascism, but there are common factors which we can see as a matter of evidentiary concern.Obama displayed all of them in nascent form, including a manifest desire for absolute power, he does not now wish to vacate his ill achieved office.

Fascism always eventually seeks a final solution, a totalitarian imperative, because its ultimate goals cannot be made manifest without the use of complete and utter control of the natural impulse that human beings have for liberty and freedom, in any collective association.Therefore it always seeks a process of dehumanization of one or another sectors of society.With Obama is was the local and state police,and patriotic conservatives against whom he unleashed the IRS and Obama Care as tools of fascist social engineering.

The proponents of fascism themselves want it to be only a manifestation from the far right of the political spectrum
in order to escape the warnings of history, so as to once again achieve free reign of the soul of Western freedom.
The American people refuse to allow it.

IN Japan, Germany and Italy, the people allowed it, believing in their own propaganda as a skewed and alternate reality, just as the left in America now does, just as the Saudi princes do as a matter of Islamofascism, manifesting an international movement to “go back” to the supposed halcyon days of the caliphates of the middle east and India through a modern version of Sharia law empowered into totalitarian control by modern technology,which is fascism defined.

Allardyce is quite a kick. He has refused to be pigeon holed by the left, although they pursue him relentlessly so they can define him out of the academic mainstream on the subject.

Allardyce writes the way Churchill would have done, had he lived long enough to address fascism in such detail.He was so very busy fighting it, and recovering from fighting it, often in his cups.

Anyway, just wanted to say that the approach I wrote about is not mine at all. it belongs to a much more brilliant mind than mine, LOL.

"We are at war with a tiny handful of extremists who are attempting to drag the Japanese people into a conflict. But we must keep a cool head and not allow them to win by provoking a war. We will defeat this enemy, but we will do it by not fighting them."

You'll like this piece of satire.

I've come to the conclusion that our greatest enemy is cowardice and fascism and communism share the same goal; to plunder the world of its treasures one culture, one nation, one continent at a time because they are the grasshoppers and believe they have a right to what belongs to the ants who have worked for their security for countless generations.

Kamikaze a "program." Yes, very satirical. But few Westerners know about the Japan's sonno joi movement,fukoku kyōhei movement , and the final Taisei Yokusankai of pre WWII Japan, the basic process equivalent of what happened in Germany , resulting in the Nazi roll out in 1928 or so.In Japan it resulted in a totalitarian state ruled by the tonarigumi neighborhood association program and the Kempeitai (憲兵隊 Kenpeitai, "Military Police Corps", which was very much like Hitlers "SS." In Japan it resulted in the fascist Tojo government that had seized control of the Emperor, just as historic shogunates had previously done.The name of this final historic movement was named the Imperial Rule Assistance Association. So to really undrstand Japans fall into fascism, we must understand these three movements: 1) sono joi 1850-1870 2)fukoku kyohei 1870-1920 3)大政翼贊會/大政翼賛会 Taisei Yokusankai( the fascist Imperial Rule Assistance Association)1920-1945 But for some strange reason, the West continues to ignore Japan's 3 step historic process to fascism,which resulted in WWII with Japan.The West prefers to demonize individuals such as the Class A war criminals involved and leave it at that. This gives rise to little true understanding of what had happened.Just as happened in 1920s Germany, the people of Japan were hoodwinked into a glorious Utopian vision, much like Obama saddled America with in his "hope and change" initiative and his attempt to redistribute wealth via the "Health Care Reform Act." Internationally Obama expected all to bow to his stated moral superiority expressed through Arab Spring and the total destruction of Libya.Russia refused and defended itself from the Obama designed "soft" demographic warfare of ME refugees aimed at the heart of Europe. Putin achieved this by annexing Crimea and the Eastern Ukraine, so that the bulk of the transformative Muslim refugee invasion arrived in Western Europe. But Obama has failed. Despite his end game, caterwauling, shuck and jive.All that is left is a huge mess of Muslims who continue to wage cultural and religious warfare on the West. It is our task to subjugate them, and make them into patriots of Western nations, or send them back where they came from.

Lots to think about there, thanks...this one:

Putin achieved this by annexing Crimea and the Eastern Ukraine, so that the bulk of the transformative Muslim refugee invasion arrived in Western Europe.

It didn't escape my notice that the leader of the muslim tatars on the Crimea was asking for NATO to do for them what they did in Libya. With a history of pillage, slaughter and slave taking in Russian territory going back to the time of Peter The Great, Putin knows history. It was a mistake to let the muslims back after their exile in Siberia.

Wiki: Crimean Tatars are a Turkic ethnic group that formed in the Crimean Peninsula in the 13th–17th centuries, primarily from the Turkic tribes that moved to the land that is now known as Crimea in Eastern Europe from the Asian steppes

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe won't apologize for Japan's attack

Nor should he......war is war and they lost. The signing of the surrender on the deck of the USS Missouri is all the apology that was necessary.......

Hugs, kisses and apologies are only for lovers.........

Correction: Not like Libya, like Kosovo:

“...NATO should intervene like in Kosovo,” Dzhemilev told AFP in a phone interview from Brussels, where he was preparing to meet NATO officials on Friday.”

Interesting Tatar background LINK

As you’ve probably figured out by now, “Crimean Tatars” are not ethnic Tatars, they are Turks. Turkey is a NATO member and an ally of the EU and US, as you have probably heard.

TYes, one can imagine millions of Syrians otherwise streaming into Crimea, Ukraine and Russia, to bolster the radical Islamic movements that terroroze Russia. Putin stopped that , and can he be blamed?

I do not think so.Obama almost initiated WW III.No man of peace that.Hardly exemplary for a holder of the Nobel Peace Prize.

********************************************
From your link.
********************************************

Everyone, that is, for the notable exception of so-called ‘Crimean Tatars” who are allowed by the US and EU to use their own language, their own national identity, their own religious extremist organizations like Hizb ut-Tahrir, Tablighi Jamaat and other terrorist organization, that are legal in Ukraine, but considered terror organizations in Russia.

As you’ve probably figured out by now, “Crimean Tatars” are not ethnic Tatars, they are Turks. Turkey is a NATO member and an ally of the EU and US, as you have probably heard.

About 120,000 “Crimean Tatars” live in Crimea. After the liberation of Crimea from Ukrainian occupation, about 8,000 ended up living in Ukraine. The rest of them don’t want to move to Ukraine and prefer to stay in Russia. If they are so upset about 1944 why wouldn’t they move to Turkey to enjoy the true freedom and democracy that the Associated membership with the EU brings?
************************************

Very interesting details.

We see a common historical theme emerging, which few in the West know.

This is the stuff of best seller books....you writing one?
