As a FReeper Researcher, I have just come across a JAPANESE organization, based on an overseas JAPANESE website, in JAPANESE, that is encouraging foreigners to contribute money to and assist the "Campaign for American President Dennis Kucinich".

The URL of the activity was located at:

http://www.peace2001.org/

The organization is called "Global Peace Campaign" located in Japan. It is part of an umbrella of socialist and communist organizations opposing US efforts in Iraq, it supports North Korea, and is aligned with the usual communist movements.

The website has the invitation clearly written in Japanese, on the upper left side of the page, along with a link to the Kucinich campaign in the US, and a photo of the candidate. The organizers specifically solicit 500 Kucinich campaign contributors in Japan as a goal. Below are the comments in Japanese, translated by myself.

Nice find, AIT... This rivals William McKinley's outing of 'Terry Wilkinson.' :)

BTTT

I hope he finds it in all the email he gets.

Good Luck!

It's the same Peter Yarrow from PPM.

It's also the same Peter Yarrow who decided, in 1970, that it was a good idea to try to have sex with a 14-year-old girl who had asked him for an autograph. He spent a few months in jail, and was later pardoned by Jimmy Carter.

No one seems to remember this...

[hellinahandcart]

good work, AIT!

Not just send it to the right officials but insure that it is appropriately acted on in every way possible.

That's what I said. I was in no connecting it to this thread.

Tucows must not like the fact that they don't get unlimited access to my computer (running behind a router/software firewall that also filters out referer requests).

Looks like the old axium, "Live by the sword, die by the sword" needs to be updated. Thanks, and may the FEC find what we're looking at.

Looks like the old axiom, "Live by the sword, die by the sword" needs to be updated. Thanks, and may the FEC find what we're looking at. I hope I caught the misspelling in time. If not, mea culpa.

In response to one FReeper’s request ("honeygrl"):

Urgent call on FReepers to make sure these Japan-based websites and links and their various content (regardless of being in Japanese) are saved immediately in the event the Webmaster decides it is prudent to remove the content from the WorldWideWeb in an effort to cover up the potential FEC violations by the Kucinich presidential campaign or otherwise hinder American legal investigation in Japan and stateside.

Japan based-websites connected to the anti-US/pro-communist/pro-Islamic terrorist movement, promoting foreign financial contributions (in Japan) and assistance to the Dennis Kucinich Campaign via book sales receipts and other activities (in the Japanese language), that are still active as of 10:30 Eastern Time 29 July 2003, are as follows. This list is limited as there are additionally incriminating 'sub-pages', in blog format, attached to some of these Japanese webpages. (For immediate archiving purposes by researchers and FReepers to prosecute this story to its final conclusions):

(Rather self-incriminating Japanese language sublinks/subpages at this site of great interest are: “YES!PEACE! Amerika ni Heiwa no Daitoryo Wo” or “Iyoiyo Watashi no Taibei Kyampein wa Hajimaru”

[Sorry these are only URLs and not links. Perhaps some enterprising techie FReeper here can turn this into hot links.]

Initially, although poor quality, some may wish to endeavor to ‘Babelfish’ translate some of these pages by using that site. Again, this is no substitute for professional translation but can give some quick and free insight into the content. The Alta Vista “Babelfish” URL for Japanese to English translation is: http://world.altavista.com/

I have already started 'stoking' the fire in the Japanese press/media. I'm not really surprised that the American press is pathetic/brain dead about this so far, but perhaps they are assembling their stories and the evidence since it for sure involves a language barrier.

Anyway, at the end of the day, 'Kudos and Standing Ovation!' to the enterprising American news reporter or talk show host stateside in the USA who would be the first to break this more widely than just within the parameters of FReeRepublic.com.
