Why I don't buy Japanese - Part 2

Share

Most Japanese do not even know their own history.  They do not know that military planners projected 1-2 million allied casualties and 5 million Japanese civilian casualties, and opted for the Atomic bombs as the lesser of two evils.   

(War is Hell, and I'm a Pacifist - that does not change the facts.)

As a kayaker I've had numerous close encounters with whales and dolphin - "Look Them in the Eye" for up to an hour's conversation.  These are overwhelming, special, privileged memories - high points of my life.


Cetaceans are not cows and pigs (I'm also vegan - eat red meat and you die of heart disease, cancer, obesity and diabetes - the price you pay for eating your mammal relatives).  


Whales and dolphin are highly intelligent.  Cetaceans are HUMANS OF THE SEA.  Killing one is murder, organized murder is GENOCIDE.


I've written to most major Japanese Brand Name Corporations asking them to denounce whaling so I that can buy their products.  Not one Corporation has even had the courtesy to reply.

Vote with your wallet.  

Remember these facts the next time you consider buying "Japanese"

NOT all monkeys eat bananas!

Share

Many tourists think that it's cool to feed macaques bananas, BUT it's bad for the macaque and bad for the human. 

Attacks are common, and those guys have got big teeth! 

Banana's don't grow on limestone islands - at leat I've never seen one. Bananas, oranges, apples, etc are their unnatural diet, and that leads to all kinds of problems for the macaque.

Please think twice before you feed the monkey - once for you and once for them!

Why I don't buy Japanese - Part 1

Share

The Japanese claim whaling and dolphin hunting is their culture, but the history of Japanese culture in the 20th century is so brutal the Japanese government won't come clean and tell their own people so they can learn and grow.

Let's take a walk through history and consider

- the Rape of Nanking

- Comfort women

- Medical War Crimes Unit 931

- Chinese Massacre in Hong Kong

- Chinese Massacre in Singapore

- Bataan Death March

- Bridge Over River Kwai POW camps / death marches from Singapore, etc.

- Rape of the Philippines including Battle of Manila

- Kamikaze suicide missions

- Civilian suicide on Saipan (told Americans would rape and murder if captured)

- Banzai suicide attacks

The list goes on, but you get the picture.  Is this a culture to be proud of?

Bullfighting is disgusting

Share

From Animals in Entertainment - permission requested

Bullfighting is disgusting, cruel and sub-human.  Let the firefighter’s burn before they raise money, and then they will also burn in hell - as they deserve.  I am a member of SKAL, the travel professionals club.  I also won their Ecotourism Award, but I will not go to our headquarters because they are in Spain.  I have also turned down large and financially lucrative groups from Spain because they are barbarians, and they do not deserve my quality, enlightening environmental experiences.  I do not want the blood of bulls on my hands.  

Of course, I always cheer for the bull to kill the matador, a disgusting example of "humanity" who does not deserve to live.  If the matador has true courage, let him take up the rodeo version of bull riding. Hopefully the bull will kill the matador.  I do not want them in MY Family of Man, any more than I want a genocidal dictator.  

Take the high road and ban bullfighting in both Spain and Portugal, and all the Latin American countries.  Like war and genocide, bullfighting shows the worst of the human animal - and it’s shameful to call matadors and fans as human beings. 

Since bullfighting only occurs in Catholic countries, I must ask, "Would Jesus approve of bullfighting, or would he kill any animal in such a vicious and brutal way?  Of course not!  Let them all go to hell, from the horns of the bull.

Rhinos the Rainforest and the Chinese government.

Share

I am a humanitarian.  I do not believe in capital punishment or taking any life in any way.

But rhino poaching is now another war - financed by the Chinese government itself.

Did you see National Geographic "Wildlife Detectives" regarding this issue?  

The Chinese government financed three high-level bureaucrats to issue a "call order" on all Rhino horns, far greater than consumption.  Armed with a hidden camera, the wildlife detective posed as a horn trader and visited a warehouse filled with Rhino horns. 

The objective is that killing Rhinos to extinction drives up the price on the last remaining stockpile!  All financed by the Chinese government itself!

This year the number of poached rhinos is already double the previous annual record.   Rhino poaching now requires serious and immediate diplomatic and financial pressure. 

The Chinese are banking on the concept that Africa and the West will not take economic hits in the current downturn. Without threat of economic sanctions, China’s poachers are literally running wild. 

Permission requested - Education world

First off, kick out all Chinese corporations and their Malaysian rainforest extraction companies out of Africa – that will put the economic hurts on China and help them understand the World will not tolerate their exploitation from labor to rainforest to wildlife.

I know that’s draconian, but it’s the only thing that works.  It will force the good guys (if there are any) to pressure the bad guys.

Rhino poaching will not stop until the Chinese take these issues seriously.  If it hurts economically, so be it.  Rhinos are just the apex issue – even local laborers understand the Chinese objective is to exploit Africa until there are no more resources to exploit. 

If poachers use helicopters, use your military to shoot them down.  Confiscate them on the ground so they can’t fly in the first place.  Use your national army to engage in live fire military exercises to stop the poachers.  Develop cross border treaties and hunt down poachers.  Pass laws giving life in prison - and if necessary - Shoot the Bastards! 

As a pacifist I would rather live with rhinos than the poachers.

TurnOffFox campaign - it is not news.

Share

All thinking people already know that Fox News is biased -- but it's actually much worse than that. For years they have used lies, distortions, and race-baiting to divide Ameirca and the World. 

It's now downright dangerous. Earlier this summer, a heavily armed man got into a gun fight with police after he was pulled over on his way to kill people at the Tides Foundation -- an obscure non-profit that Glenn Beck regularly demonizes on his Fox News TV show.

Fox News is bad news not only for America, but the World. I'm a journalist, and they do not follow the truth, the crusade of every professional journalist. The lunatic fringe listens to them only because Fox addicts are mentally unstable. The venom spreads, and is legitimized through TVs in public places. 

FOX is so bad, so irresponsible that I've joined the TurnOffFox campaign -- the first part of a larger campaign to diminish the influence of Fox.

It's about educating people to support truth in journalism.
