Washington Post attacks Japan Cabinet member Fujita over 9-11

juandelacruz's picture

MSM is being forced to acknowledge 9-11 truth in order to counter it's growing popularity. They can no longer keep silent so they are now openly attacking advocates.

Please respond to the author of this editorial if you have time and take care not to give yourself away to the perps unless you really intend to.

A leading Japanese politician espouses a 9/11 fantasy
Monday, March 8, 2010

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/07/AR201003...

YUKIHISA FUJITA is an influential member of the ruling Democratic Party of Japan. As chief of the DPJ's international department and head of the Research Committee on Foreign Affairs in the upper house of Japan's parliament, to which he was elected in 2007, he is a Brahmin in the foreign policy establishment of Washington's most important East Asian ally. He also seems to think that America's rendering of the events of Sept. 11, 2001, is a gigantic hoax.

Mr. Fujita's ideas about the attack on the World Trade Center, which he shared with us in a recent interview, are too bizarre, half-baked and intellectually bogus to merit serious discussion. He questions whether it was really the work of terrorists; suggests that shadowy forces with advance knowledge of the plot played the stock market to profit from it; peddles the fantastic idea that eight of the 19 hijackers are alive and well; and hints that controlled demolition rather than fire or debris may be a more likely explanation for at least the collapse of the building at 7 World Trade Center, which was adjacent to the twin towers.

As with almost any calamity whose scale and scope assume historic proportions, the events of Sept. 11 have spawned a thriving subculture of conspiracy theorists at home and abroad. The only thing novel about Mr. Fujita is that a man so susceptible to the imaginings of the lunatic fringe happens to occupy a notable position in the governing apparatus of a nation that boasts the world's second-largest economy.

We have no reason to believe that Mr. Fujita's views are widely shared in Japan; we suspect that they are not and that many Japanese would be embarrassed by them. His proposal two years ago that Tokyo undertake an independent investigation into the Sept. 11 attacks, in which 24 Japanese citizens died, went nowhere. Nonetheless, his views, rooted as they are in profound distrust of the United States, seem to reflect a strain of anti-American thought that runs through the DPJ and the government of Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama.

Mr. Hatoyama, elected last summer, has called for a more "mature" relationship with Washington and closer ties between Japan and China. Although he has reaffirmed longstanding doctrine that Japan's alliance with the United States remains the cornerstone of its security, his actions and those of the DPJ-led government, raise questions about that commitment. It's a cliche but nonetheless true that the U.S.-Japan alliance has been a critical force for stability in East Asia for decades. That relationship, and its benefits for the region, will be severely tested if Mr. Hatoyama tolerates elements of his own party as reckless and fact-averse as Mr. Fujita.

I got in as the 5th comment on the article. Please pitch in, 3 of the comments are from idiots.

Via 911blogger I read that there was a raging debate at cnn.com on the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claim that 9-11 was a lie.

http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/meast/03/07/ahmadinejad.afghanistan/index....

Truthers seem to have that debate covered.

I am a Filipino and I share Mr. Fujita's view that 9-11 was orchestrated by some members of the US government along with very probable involvement if not lead by the Israeli Mossad. You are silly to attack Fukita for his views on 9-11 yet the US Government has no good explanation for why the World Trade Center Building 7, a building that was not hit by any aircraft on 9-11, collapsed into its own footprint at free fall speed, just like a controlled demolition. There is no way around the physics, a steel framed building cannot go down at free fall speed unless the collumns are are simultaneously cut up. Only a controlled demolition can accomplish this event and even the US National Institute of Standards and Technology acknowledges that building 7 came down at free fall speed.

So, do you think 9-11 was an inside job, or did you fail your high school physics?

In retrospect,this was just as revolting a hoax as mr Fujita's nonsense about 9/11 being an inside job.
Iraq,however was very much an inside job in which you and your ghastly clique of neocons and fellow travellers were very much on the inside.

Why is WaPo doing this?

What possible motivation could a Mockingbird outlet like WaPo have for helping publicize 9/11 truth? The saying goes that if you're an unknown, there's no such thing as bad publicity. (For McDonald's obviously there could be.) So they're doing us a favor here, why?

A few possible answers:

1) They realize their credibility is crumbling fast and if they continue to ignore major issues like 9/11, they will lose even more readers and soon need to rely entirely on payments from their Mockingbird handlers to pay the bills.

2) They are collecting IP addresses from truther commenters for some Stasi-like purpose. This can be avoided by using Anonymouse.

3) They are still trying to stick it to Japan for asking us to leave Okinawa.

4) They plan to attack Iran soon and/or stage another false flag attack, as an excuse to declare martial law and shut down the Internet as we know it, so they don't really care how many people wake up at this point.

The "they" refers to different groups of perps/accomplices.

juandelacruz's picture

What if?

What if they intend to reveal 9-11 one day (blaming the US Gov't) to collapse the US as a state. What if all the demented actions of the neocons and the business as usual democrats are intended to kill both parties since they are considered expendable by the real power players. What if the whole US society is considered expendable and the end game is to push everyone into a new paradigm where the liberties, freedom, myths of self determination that we associate with the US are not tolerated.

Just thinking aloud.

But the US economy seems so devastated by their actions that I am not sure they really care if the US maintains its status quo as a world power. Some websites in fact speculate that the US is being destroyed on purpose in order to prevent any pursuit of the truth and the real perps.

A less overarching scenario is that they want to undermine Fujita by taking advantage of the Pentagon shooting where the shooter is portrayed as an irrational, psychotic truther. Whether the shooting was orchestrated, or perhaps happened on its own and presented as a random opportunity, the powers that be take advantage of it to reduce Fujita's credibility among his peers and perhaps have him taken out of his current powerful position in the cabinet.

Again, just speculation on my part

I had not seen this point of view. Have some links?

These ideas you've floated seem plausible to me. Call me suspicious, but if the PTB do something which seems to be to our advantage, most likely it's more of a "sacrificing a pawn to win a queen" kind of scenario.

911 Truth has arrived

What comes next? Most likely the powers that be will use their control of the media to frame the public's perception. They will decide how they want to use 9-11 Truth for their own agenda i.e. blame and demonize the U.S. in order to prop up an 'international' solution.

That's why you should give Alex Jones credit for always talking about the big picture view of the power elite's agenda(s). It may be time for all of us to speak about the deep involvement in 9-11 by Israel and international bankers so as to prevent the public from so readily accepting the solution proposed by the same.

Keep talking about the New World Order.

Lindsey Williams: U.S. Economy Will Collapse in 2 Years

NoWorldSystem.com
October 27, 2009

Pastor Lindsey Williams, an insider of the elite who predicted accurately that oil prices would fall to $50 a barrel appeared on the Alex Jones show recently. He said he was told by the financial elite that the U.S. dollar will completely collapse in 2012 and that after 2 years “you will be so poor that you will not be able to rebel”. “In their timeline, inflation will escalate over a period of 2 years,” “gold and silver are all you can rely on! The elite don’t use paper, they laugh at it, it means nothing to them, gold and silver is their currency, and gold and silver will continue to escalate rapidly”...

gretavo's picture

sorry, not buying

First, it's Alex Jones, and you can bet the prediction that it will happen in 2012 is not a coincidence.

To anyone who thinks that whoever did 9/11 has the power to throw the world into chaos, think again. They get away with as much as they do because they bring along a lot of the elite for the ride with them. This necessarily means having a generally stable world so as to best milk people's productivity. Suggestions that by pursuing the truth we are inviting some kind of backlash are intended to discourage people from seeking the truth, period. We are calling their bluff and so they are trying to up the ante to scare us so that they may perpetuate the bluff. We will not blink. They are going to have to show their cards eventually, and this is what they are trying to forestall at all costs. Problem is, anything crazy enough to work for them is also crazy enough to be the last straw for those elites who have until now held their nose and tolerated what they assumed was a necessary evil for their own survival at the top. At a certain point they will not feel safe in a house of cards and when they leave the whole charade will collapse and there will be no apocalypse, trust me, just a lot of recriminations, finger pointing, and ultimately, apologia.

juandelacruz's picture

You don't have to buy

You don't have to buy anything.

As I said earlier these are random possibilities to extend the list that was started in the post by north side. Which of these possibilities is correct remains to be seen. The 2012 prediction I do not take seriously, the quote was only posted to show that some sites do think it possible that the US may be purposely undermined by some powers that control what is happening.

"...Suggestions that by pursuing the truth we are inviting some kind of backlash are intended to discourage people from seeking the truth, period..."

That is just one way to interpret the gist of my post. I think it is a common modus to stage an event to scare the targeted public, then a "solution" is presented to which the public is easily herded into. 9-11 was such an event. A better way to interpret the post is that we should keep our wits and not fall for whatever "solution" the perps dangle in front of us after the event (in this example the event is an engineered collapse of US society).

"...They get away with as much as they do because they bring along a lot of the elite for the ride with them. This necessarily means having a generally stable world so as to best milk people's productivity..."

With the way the US economy and finance is going, I think it is possible that the US itself may be made to take the bullet to set an example for the rest of the world. We all know the real perps are not beholden to the US public. If the US economy does tank, the world will be in pain, but I am sure someone (most likely the perps) will make a profit out of it and/or advance their agenda.

If the perps were looking for stability, they would not have done 9-11 which really made the world economy poorer and less easy for elites in general (not the perps) to milk as a whole.

There is no reason to think that the perps have to rely solely on the US economy or even the rest of the world to milk for money. These bastards seem to have more money than they need to enjoy the privileges of wealth. I think the stakes are much higher. Even the suggestions by crazy Alex Jones types that the PTB think that the world population ought to be reduced, I consider a real though unproven possibility. I think the ultimate game is more likely some type of social engineering rather than just making more money. If the top level perps are doing scams to make more money, it is to finance their next "event" or something of that nature rather than to buy the newest Ferrari.

gretavo's picture

someone needs to build those ferraris

of course the goals of the 9/11 operation were complex, not simple, and of course they involved social engineering. all of that had to be calculate within certain realistic constraints--for example it had to be a clandestine operation, people had to be fooled. real wealth and prosperity don't come from gold or federal reserve notes, it comes from human effort and productivity. no "elite" actually wants to live in a world where there aren't a whole bunch of proles, plebs, or whatever to serve them and to make them feel superior. the elite in one country to another have, over lord knows how many decades or centuries, been selling their souls, wittingly or not, to a particular system that offers them continued elitehood in exchange for their help in managing things in the interest of the system. they have replaced real wealth with funny money in order to make the elite dependent on them and not on their own devices--those which made them elites in the first place. one reason Henry Ford is villified as an anti-semite is that he identified that pressure as coming from a globalized Jewish banking cartel. whether he was right in identifying them as such, some of his points were quite valid--that capitalists like him who built up their fortunes by producing real tangible goods and putting people to work with decent pay in real money were not the problem, however much Marx may have insisted they were. the real villains, according to Ford, were those who took control of money and by manipulating the supply had the means to break the capitalists like him, and on top of that blame them for the pain their money supply manipulation caused the working class. as long as people continue to believe in funny money, those who control it need never worry about making money--they are the ones who print it out of thin air. their black-ops are therefore about maintaining their grip on the psyches of the world's people, both working class and elite, by stoking their fears, especially about each other. in the unlikely event that someone somewhere should decide to "take down America" I think it will be the beginning of the end for that someone.

juandelacruz's picture

Hi G, I don't really know

Hi G,

I don't really know if these things will happen or not. These are just speculation. Now what can happen to the US, is I think similar to what has happened to Germany. Germany was once a world power and they were used by the perps to accomplish their goal - the establishment of Israel. During the course of this misadventure Germany suffered greatly. It does not mean things go back to the stone age but Germany was taken down several notches from it's former position.

Whatever the US is being used for now, I can already see it is taking a great toll on US society (losing rights, failing economy). I believe it can get a lot worse if the perps are not stopped soon.

gretavo's picture

I agree that it could/will happen in a sense

the idea that the US would continue in its same hegemonic role in perpetuity would suggest that the power to do so rests with Americans. we agree that the US is just the current puppet of the world's top elite, I gather. I just don't see a German style take down as being possible in this day and age. what I see happening is that living standards around the world are slowly equalizing and coming into balance. as someone who grew up in several latin american countries I can say that this is not a bad thing. I just think that what was possible a few decades or centuries ago probably isn't now. that's why 9/11 was necessary, because without that myth, those who wielded power covertly in the last century would find it very difficult to continue doing so. the Project for a New American Century wasn't really about a new American century, it was about a new "covertly undemocratic" century following in the footsteps of the last with its manufactured conflicts between peoples. If I've concluded anything from my years of truthing it's that "they" are not going to give up the myth easily. when you stick with something as implausible and seemingly doomed to be exposed as the lies of 9/11 it suggests to me you don't have much left to hitch your wagons to. and because I believe that this is due to either a fundamental miscalculation or wishful thinking born of desperation, I think that any attempt to go double or nothing is going to backfire. some of the perps and their supporters may well see that and are simply adopting the least worst strategy to buy themselves some time, others, the more fanatical, may be oblivious or in denial. in fact i think most except the very perceptive and soberly realistic among them probably will be in denial for a little while longer.

juandelacruz's picture

Regarding PNAC. I think it

Regarding PNAC. I think it was just a document to sell to the US elite what was in essence a plan to promote Israel in the earlier document A Clean Break. In other words, the original plan was to strengthen Israel's position in the region, but to do so required more muscle, so the US was co-opted using PNAC to make Americans think that they have an interest and profit in getting back into the old style empire game. It worked like a charm (unfortunately for the rest of us).

If people are wondering what good it does for the US to be occupying Iraq. There does not seem to be any when compared with the cost. Of course there is none on balance. Only a few of the favored elite in the US will profit, for the rest it is a net loss. For Israel and the Zionist elite however, it was all political/strategic bonanza with their fool partner paying the bill.

the value of the bill in $/capita

according to wikipedia:

"The national debt equates to $30,400 per person U.S. population, or $60,100 per member of the U.S. working population,[33] as of February 2008."
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_public_debt )

Back in 2008, this includes the large expenditures of deploying the military in Iraq and Afghanistan, but excludes the later bailout of banks and insurance companies in 2009. Contrast that with the foreign aid to Israel, according to Kennysideshow website:

"Former Congressman James Traficant rightly pointed out recently that between the direct foreign aid grants to Israel, along with all of the other benefits including trade compacts, economic and military assistance, “Israel gets approximately $15 billion a year from the American taxpayers. That $15 billion is $30,000 for every man, woman and child in Israel.” (more - Keith Johnson)"

gretavo's picture

so much of that is illusory

Where are the centers of power? Where the elite meet to have lunch a la Bilderberg? Where the nukes are siloed? Where people's standard of living is the highest? Most equitable? If I were a powerful elite I would certainly want to give a false impression that there were centers of power when in fact there were not centers but lots and lots of nodes, kinda like the intertubes... :)

juandelacruz's picture

Centers of power as in

Centers of power as in formerly Madrid, then London, then Washington. Not sure if that is accurate and not saying they all were under the perps, but in that sense anyway the cradle of power shifts. The perps sometimes changes the favoured center of power and the ruling elite in those places (not the top level perps, but the national level politicos/financiers who were being used/rewarded by the perps).

Lastly, despite what they did to Germany, the perps managed to stay hidden and free from prosecution. Hopefully the 9-11 truth movement will make a big difference this time. But this is just a reminder that the perps have been getting away with mass murder for a long time so there is no guarantee that they will be caught this time around.

Fujita in Straits Times clarification on WaPo article

http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Asia/Story/STIStory_499856.html

Mar 9, 2010
Denies calling 9/11 a hoax

TOKYO - A LAWMAKER and foreign policy expert of Japan's centre-left ruling party Tuesday denied telling The Washington Post that he suspects the September 11, 2001 attack on New York was a hoax.

In an editorial Monday, the US newspaper said Yukihisa Fujita, a lawmaker of Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama's Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), had questioned that the attacks were the work of terrorists.

The newspaper, which recently interviewed the upper house lawmaker in Tokyo, said he 'seems to think that America's rendering of the events of Sept 11, 2001 is a gigantic hoax.' In the past, Fujita has called for an independent investigation into the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people and he has published a book entitled 'Parliamentary pursuit of suspicion over 9/11 terrorism.'

Fujita, the director general of the DPJ's international department, admitted referring to the attacks 'during informal talks' with the Post following an interview that had focused on Japan's immigration policies.

'But I clearly said I have never concluded that September 11 was a dark plot and never stated that (the collapse) of the Twin Towers was a controlled demolition,' Fujita said in a statement. 'We cannot help but conclude that it's a seditious report distorting facts.' Fujita separately told AFP: 'I'm puzzled and annoyed. I'm considering how I should take action to protest against the editorial.'

The newspaper also said: 'His views, rooted as they are in profound distrust of the United States, seem to reflect a strain of anti-American thought that runs through the DPJ and the government of Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama.' Hatoyama's government took power in September, vowing more 'equal' ties with Washington after more than five decades of almost unbroken conservative rule. -- AFP

Fujita response to WaPo


An Inflammatory and partial view of a Japanese statesman

 
 
Saturday, March 13, 2010

 

I would like to correct the erroneous stance taken by your The Post's March 8 editorial "Poisonous thinking in Japan."

First of all, I am not the head of the foreign affairs committee in the House of Councillors, as the editorial suggests, but one of the six directors (not the head) of the ad hoc Research Committee on International Affairs and Global Warming Issues. Nor am I responsible for policymaking in my capacity as director-general of the International Department of the Democratic Party of Japan, as The Post implied.

Furthermore, I agreed to talk to The Post's writer in my personal capacity, regarding the agreed-upon topic of Japan's response to immigration, and he agreed that the opinions I expressed were my own and not party or government policy. I find it disturbing that the writer chose to use our informal chat after the interview in such an inflammatory way.

Above all, I strongly protest The Post's statement that my views exhibit a "profound distrust" of the United States and "reflect a strain of anti-American thought" in my party and the Japanese government. I have many American friends and have spent many decades endeavoring to serve as a bridge between the two countries..

I believe I am owed an apology for this attempt to damage my credibility by painting me with "poisonous thinking," "conspiratorial views," "intellectually bogus," "lunatic fringe" and "reckless and fact-averse," despite the fact that I had never stated "conspiracy" as such.
