Beautiful 24-year old Anri Suzuki, supposed history teacher and adult fim star (in which order? Teacher first, then film star or vice versa?).  This lovely young lady has offered herself up to compensate Chinese men for the brutal treatment that Japan dished out to China in World War II.

.

The following is the main quote of the article: Anri Suzuki said she was so shocked to learn about her nation’s past that it was time to make up for her country’s early 20th century wrongs by giving back, one man at a time.

“I think it is psychological compensation to them. Actually, Chinese students treat me more friendly and comfortably than Japanese.” (End Quote).

.

But it is interesting to note that this is one of the first ‘overtures’ made to the Chinese people for the Rape of Nanking, genocide, the war in general. Between the years 1937 and 1945, 23 million people died in the Sino-Japanese War-18 million of them civilians.

.

Hey, what about on this side of the Pacific huh?  Little places like Pearl harbor, Midway, Wake, Guam, etc?  There are some hurt feelings over here as well that need taking care of.  Oh well, shes going to be very busy indeed I guess.

.

Still, its a publicity stunt to make a name for herself I feel, and it worked.  I’m posting this story about her on my blog.

(begin General Paul E. Vallely’s letter)

From General Paul Valley:

Lincoln Reagan Dinner

June 5th, 2010

Virginia City, Montana

.

The Declaration of Independence states: “To secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness.”

.

We cannot permit the current leaders in the White House and Halls of Congress to continue in their efforts to lead us down the road of Progressive Socialism and destruction of America. This is the current battle that we Constitutionalists face and we must be aggressive in our efforts. Incompetence, Deceit, Fraud, Corruption, Dishonesty and Violation of the US Constitution and oaths of office of officials now come into play as relates to our National Character, National Security, Economy and the Nation’s well-being and is the rationale for resignations. Demand Resignation of derelict officials by the people of this country in now required.

.

Where is our Moral Compass?

.

The oath of office is simple and reads:

.

“I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.” Sadly, we have seen them violate their oath. Fraud, lying, and corruption are rampant and some have engaged in treasonous activities, and they effectively thumb their noses at us and have sold you to the highest bidder.

.

The Articles of Confederation were replaced with the Constitution, which granted the federal government enough authority to cultivate, promote and secure the Blessings of Liberty. The balance of authority and individual liberty was understood. Power was confined to that which was enumerated in the Constitution with a certain and meaningful intent for check and balances.

.

Lincoln issued this warning in his inaugural address, “Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government and form a new one. This is a most valuable and sacred right – a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world.” Being a representative republic, not a democracy, “rising up” means other than revolution by means of arms. The people must “rise up” from the grass roots across this great country as we think of the greater good of this and future generations. We are limited in the peaceful transfer of power…resignation, death, elections, and impeachment.

.

“We the People” have had enough. Enough is Enough. The Obama White House and identifiable Members of Congress are now on a progressive socialist, treasonous death march and are bankrupting and weakening the country. We have watched them violate their sacred oath of office.

.

“We, the People” cannot wait for and solely rely on the next round of elections in November of this year. It is now and each day that these public servants must put the citizen’s interests above self-interest by resigning immediately. Our so-called Representatives and Senators are more interested in party loyalty than performing their duties. So, do not expect them to resign en masse or be impeached. Therefore the “people” must decide. A civil uprising is brewing. We now must call for the immediate resignation of Barry Soetero (AKA President Barack Hussein Obama) …..based on Incompetence, Deceit, Fraud, Corruption, Dishonesty and Violation of the US Oath of Office and the Constitution.

.

And a call for a National Petition for new elections to select the next President of the United States of America must be initiated. We can wait no longer for a traditional change of Power and New Government.

.

UPDATE 1 (June 10, 2010):  Some new posts relating to this subject.  From the Capitalist on Newsvine.com  (http://thecapitalist.newsvine.com/_news/2009/06/11/2919844-time-to-demand-obamas-resignation).  From Alan Caruba (http://factsnotfantasy.blogspot.com/2009/06/time-to-demand-obamas-resignation.html).   And from the Steady Drip (http://thesteadydrip.blogspot.com/2009/04/aka-obama-fans-all-together-now-say-omg.html).  This is part of that post on The Steady Drip (Obama “I have nothing to hide but I’m hiding it.”  -Revised June 5, 2010) that caught my eye.

.

(Begin Quote)  One high profile example of the Hawaiian birth certificate policy was the president of the first Chinese republic. Sun Yat-sen was born on 12 November 1866 to a peasant family in the village of Cuiheng, China, but by 1904 he had a Hawaiian birth certificate and was officially a citizen of the United States. The wording on Sun Yat-sen’s Hawaiian birth certificate reveals that at age 18 he “made application for a Certificate of Birth. And that it appears from his affidavit and the evidence submitted by witnesses that he was born in the Hawaiian Islands.” Appears? It also appears that AKA Obama was born in Hawaii. Does the AKA Obama birth certificate on file with the State of Hawaii have language similar to the birth certificate of SunYat-sen?

The records of hospitals in Hawaii have been searched and there is no record of Stanley Ann Obama ever having given birth to a child. In a November 2004 interview with the Rainbow Newsletter, Maya Soetoro told reporters her half-brother Sen. Barack Obama was born on Aug. 4, 1961, at Queens Medical Center in Honolulu. After it was concluded that Obama and his mother were never there in February 2008, Maya told reporters for the Honolulu Star-Bulletin that Obama was at the Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children. Obama and Mom were never there either. AKA Obama has said he was born at Kapiolani Medical Center yet no hospital official has suggested that their facility should be designated as the birth place of a President. Odd! (end quote).

Stand Up America (Paul E. Vallely website)(http://standupamericaus.com/).

.

The original story was posted on World Net Daily back on March 7, 2010.

.

Quote: “Right now we know about the facilities. … We know where they are,” he said. “We know exactly what their dimensions are, and I think they are susceptible to an Israeli attack.”

.

Former American UN ambassador John Bolton said an Israeli military option “isn’t there forever. … If Israel is going to use military force, it needs to use it sooner rather than later.” end quote.  The above quote was made with WND senior reporter Aaron Klein who was hosting New York’s WABC 770 AM radio program where the interview took place.

.

But the article from Reaganite Republican Resistance blog went into greater detail. This is a quote from two paragraphs in this expanded article:

.

.

Consider that Israel has 200+ atomic devices: while Iran may have one soon, it would not be weaponized just yet… so no way to deliver it to Israeli territory. Even if Iran bought miniaturized nuclear devices from another rogue state, then pulled-off some sort of small-scale “suitcase” nuke smuggled in by terrorists… Israel is capable of delivering a devastating retaliation equal to 2,000 Hiroshimas, turning all of Iran into a glass-floored, self-lit parking lot. While it’s commonly noted that the Persian state is much larger in area than Israel, the majority of Iran’s industry is concentrated -in Tehran- and located in a geographic bowl… almost perfectly situated to suffer maximum damage from an Israeli attack on Iran. end quote.

.

Consider the recent “incident” at sea that put Israel in such a bad light as far as the propaganda goes. For more details on this, please check out my article on The Shanks Dimension (link listed below). The news of late that Israel will now station one of its submarines on patrol in the Persian Gulf.  I have posted links from Global Security about Iranian and Israeli Air Force and Navy information for more detail information about their respective force structures.

The Shanks Dimension. “Israel’s Navy in the News” June 1, 2010. (http://www.theshanksdimension.com/2010/06/israels-navy-in-the-news/).

With the recent events of Israel sending it’s Shayetet 13, a naval commando unit, boarded the protest boats at around 4:00 A.M. Once the troops were ordered to board those so called Peace flotilla ships (this author’s viewpoint), the damage to the Israeli nation – no matter what option the Israelis took – would be bad.  Weapons were found on board.  These so called peace activists attacked the boarders, knifing one and tossing another soldier over the side from the looks of one video.  Stun grenades, fire bomb(Molotov cocktail?).

.

The “flotilla” came from Turkey.  No incidents were encountered on five of the six vessels boarded.  But it was the sixth vessel that made the news and once again – no matter what Israel did, world opinion would go against it – as planned from the start.  On that sixth boat, the Turkish-flagged ferry Mavi Marmara; nine passengers were killed.  among the activists who were killed in the struggle were recovered pistols along with their empty casings.

.

Seven Navy commandos wounded, two seriously. And they were sent in with paint ball guns-at least these troops had actual guns and ammo for backup.  But they were met with metal poles and knives at first, then the live fire from the pistols.

.

Gaza is at war with Israel.  A naval blockade by Israel is legal. But this story only leads to other stories that caught my eye recently.

.

First, the news about Israel stationing some of its subs, so that at least one sub will be operating off the Iranian coastline. Three of Israel’s its five Dolphin class submarines will be in the Red Sea from now on. These Dolphin class submarines are presumed to be armed with cruise missiles (equipped with nuclear warheads). Two of these subs are brand new and the older boats of this class have since been upgraded  to include the larger fuel capacity, converting more torpedo tubes to the larger 650mm size, and installing new electronics. The fuel and torpedo tube mods appear to have something to do with stationing the subs off the coast of Iran. The new Dolphins cost about $650 million in US dollars.

.

These submarines were built by Germany for Israel and have larger fuel capacity (to make the trip around the Horn of Africa if needed) if the Suez canal is unavailable in the future.  Larger fuel capacity also equals longer on station time.  Stated endurance is over 10,000 kilometers and about 50 days at sea.

.

The Dolphins have a fuel cell base propulsion system which makes them very quiet.  Hard to detect by the Iranians.  The first 3 subs Israel received did not have the AIP (Air Independent Propulsion) system.

Why post such in depth data on these submarines?  Recently, I have been investigating as best as I can through the internet, the rumors about the North Korean mini sub supposed attack on the BP floating oil rig Deepwater Horizon.  I was going through the motions of a google search when I came across some web forum where someone was blaming Israel for sinking the South Korean frigate.  If the reader wishes to read such “information,” they are welcome to do so.  I however, do not give any credence to that type of fiction.  Why you ask?  If I’m still looking into the North Korean mini sub rumor even after all this time – why will I not give any consideration to this rumor?  Because it was racially, and religious (anti-Jewish) motivated in my opinion.

.

But, today’s search also lead me to this interesting article in Haaretz.com, dated June 1, 2010.  Entitled “Mossad Chief: Israel gradually becoming burden on U.S.”  The first paragraph really grabbed my attention, quote:  Mossad Chief Meir Dagan said on Tuesday that Israel is progressively becoming a burden on the United States. “Israel is gradually turning from an asset to the United States to a burden,” said Dagan, speaking before the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. end quote.

.

It is sad, but with the current administration of American President Barrack H. Obama – Mr. Dagan is correct.  It might be better to say that Israel is a burden to Obama and his followers, but not to the American people in general.

.

UPDATE 1 (June 1, 2010):  The Jerusalem Post  ”IDF: Global Jihad on flotilla”  by Yaakov Katz.  First paragraph is pretty important here.  Dozens of passengers who were aboard the Mavi Marmara Turkish passenger ship are suspected of having connections with global jihad-affiliated terrorist organizations, defense officials said on Tuesday, amid growing concerns that Turkish warships would accompany a future flotilla to the Gaza Strip. (http://www.jpost.com/Israel/Article.aspx?id=177169).  And this from The New York Post (http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/opedcolumnists/turkish_blood_bath_Jean7yjj5Salz75brRSsMJ#ixzz0peJthsmc).

UPDATE 2 (June 4, 2010): Two items today.  This from The Jerusalem Post (http://www.jpost.com/Israel/Article.aspx?id=177445).  And this from Information Dissemination this bit of theory. (http://www.informationdissemination.net/2010/06/hezbollah-threatens-unrestricted-naval.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+InformationDissemination+(Information+Dissemination)).

UPDATE 3 (June 8, 2010):  This bit of news from something called the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center entitled “IHH Preparations for a Violent Confrontation with IDF Soldiers Aboard the Turkish Ship Mavi Marmara.  Initial conclusions from questioning passengers and examining equipment on board the ship.” (http://www.terrorism-info.org.il/malam_multimedia/English/eng_n/html/hamas_e110.htm).

The CIA and the U.S. State Department were not informed.  Only the U.S. Department of Defense in the Afigastan/Pakistan theater of operations was notified and about 10 days ago began to spread the word to other authorities in the U.S. chain of command.

Ref.  May 10, 2010. Brad Thor (http://biggovernment.com/bthor/2010/05/10/exclusive-mullah-omar-captured/).

Now my take on this – I’m not going to come out and say that this is impossible.  Look at how the 9/11 terrorists used hijacked airliners against us in a unique way back in 2001.  If North Korea was stupid enough to actually attack the United States and South Korea (remember it’s ship being sunk by one of these sucide torpedos recently?).  I would personally assumed that any attack against the US would come at us from the Pacific.

.

But if this article is correct, this is more about directing US/UN policy towards a certain direction.  I quote the following passage:  Should Obama choose the “nuclear option” it appears that he would be supported by the International Court of Justice who on July 8, 1996 issued an advisory opinion on the use of nuclear weapons stating that they could not conclude definitively on these weapons use in “extreme circumstances” or “self defense”.

On the other hand, if Obama chooses the “nuclear option” it would leave the UN’s nuclear conference in shambles with every Nation in the World having oil rigs off their coasts demanding an equal right to atomic weapons to protect their environment from catastrophes too, including Iran. end quote.

.

And what of North Korea’s submarine capabilities?  While writing this post for The Shanks Dimension, I decided to sidetrack a little and research that subject.  Links to that are lisited below as well.  It would be interesting to know if this midget sub was a Yugo class or one of the newer p14s.  The picture with this post is of the “Sang-O” class that was captured in the 1990s.

.

After more than a year in office as President of the United States, Barack H. Obama, has left this nation vulnerable  to attack by our perceived lack of a backbone.  On Drudge Report, there was this article “Miss him?  Bush’s reputation might be ready for a rebound.” Personally, I would say yes as far as foreign policy goes.

.

Anyway, this story is developing like the rest of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig sinking/oil spill.  I am sure more details will be coming out this weekend.

.

UPDATE: Here is a timeline of events dealing with the oil rig ‘explosion.’ (http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2010/05/obamas-katrina-illustrated-timeline.html).

.

UPDATE 2: Here are some more interesting links to this theory/story.  And I have included one link that claims that this is all a hoax.  First up is Dakota Voice.

(http://www.dakotavoice.com/2010/05/was-the-gulf-oil-rig-explosion-a-deliberate-attack-on-america/).  Then the claim that this is just a hoax-More-Minimal,

(http://moreminimal.com/2010/05/hoax-deepwater-horizon-north-korean-mini-sub-hoax/).

Then this website about submarines.  You will have to schrool down to about mid-way and read the article about Iran having purchased some North Korean mini-subs including a picture with the Iranian crew on deck just goes to show you how small these subs are. (http://www.silvercrestsubmarines.co.uk/newsletter_feb_2005.html).

.

UPDATE 3: Found some more interesting links relating to North Korea and mini-subs.  My thinking now is to collect some interesting links together into one spot (this article) for basically one-stop shopping when it comes to the “theory of North Korea mini subs used to attack the Deepwater Horizon oil rig.”

.

Lets start off with the South Asia Analysis Group, paper #1312, “Mini Submarine-A Vessel of choice with Drug Cartels and Terrorists.  by Dr. Vijay Sakhuja.   (http://www.southasiaanalysis.org/\papers14\paper1312.html).

And lets not forget our own US Navy when it comes to mini submarines.  Here is a interesting article about the SEALS and the governments failure with their Advanced SEAL Delivery System(ASDS) being replaced by a cheaper commercial product – I say yeah to the Private sector!  (http://www.navytimes.com/news/2010/02/gns_navy_minisub_022210/).

.

Then there are the rocket explosions in Jordan to consider.  The rocket attacks in Jordan/Israel and the “war games” took place on April 22nd.

.

Iranian troops known as Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF) are deployed around the world to advance Iranian special interests.  This unit has been aligned with terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, North Africa.  And now in Latin America.  And more than likely, elements of this gorup might have already crossed the southern border of our nation (remember – we don’t HAVE a secured border with Mexico!  The drug war(s) have gone hot down along the Texas/Mexico border near El Paso).

.

So the theory of Iranian paramilitaries staging attacks within our own borders is not TOO far fetch to consider.

.

Then there is the recent explosion on April 21, 2010 of the Deepwater Horizon floating oil rig.  As far as the floating oil rig goes, there are still 11 workers  missing when the thing blew up.  We have now past the point of likely survival out there in the open water for those poor souls.  More likely, they died when the oil rig explosion took place or when it sunk.

.

From Wiki news:  The rig was located roughly 50 miles southeast of the coast of Louisiana, and was under lease to BP since 2007.  It was completing the construction of  a new oil well, and was constructing a layer of cement in the well to reinforce it.  This is considered dangerous, as it has the potential to produce an uncontrolled release of case, called a blowout.  While the cause of the explosion has yet to be determined, a blowout is considered a possibility.  end quote.  I include this quote to remind myself and readers that it could very well be an industrial accident – not an act of war.

.

Linnane/STORMBRINGER pointed out that one of the rescued workers said that he was awaken by alarms and he had to scrambled to get to a life boat.  Quote “I’ve been working offshore 25 years and I’ve never seen anything like this before.”

.

While Linnane is connecting dots, I’m going to wait to see if there is another such “accident” this year with a Gulf of Mexico oil rig.  If such a event were to take place again… well, another front in the Terrorist War has opened and needs to be reacted too with force.

The 1,200 – ton Cheonan will soon be raised and after inspection, a final report will be issued on the cause of the sinking.  South Korea sources state that the North Korean submarines are armed with 200kg(or 441 pound) warheads.

In his questions, Congressman Johnson asked of Admiral Willard about the need of adding 8000 more people to the island of Guam.  The quote that Johnson uses, and dumbfounded everybody who was present, is the following one:  my fear is that the whole island will become so over populated that it will “tip over and capsize.”

Admiral Willard: “We don’t anticipate that.”

Hmmmmm.  In danger of capsizing?  Like the fighting back in World War Two would not have cause that?!  Checking the picture, I still see land area, no city development.  Then again, I just made a quick Google search for a picture of the island.

Supposedly, Hank Johnson used the comment as a metafor for the situation.  That is as good as any explanation that could salvage this comment.

One would think this was a April’s Fool Joke.  But sadly – that is not the case.  View the video on Boortz.com.

UPDATE:  This comes from neo-neocon.  Johnson and Willard were both connected to the movie “Top Gun”  and the two developed a friendship.  One that involves deadpan humor and the delivery thereof.  OK, its a private joke between the two gentleman.  I’ll leave it at that.       (http://neoneocon.com/2010/04/01/in-defense-of-hank-johnson/).
