Japan's cetacean Genocide
Today’s World is filled with irrational lunacy, yet in the face of the Paris attacks we cannot forget the lunacy of “The Cove” in Taji’i, Japan. It’s bad enough that humans kill our own kind, but the barbaric cetacean slaughters at “The Cove” in Taji’i is so barbaric – and unnecessary – it cannot go unnoticed. There is no excuse for this cetacean genocide except Japanese “Tradition” – the same tradition that brought us Comfort Women, Kamikazi raids, Banzai attacks, the Rape of Nanjing, mass suicide off the cliffs of Saipan and numerous other “culture” related atrosities.
We all know how Japanese hate marine animals – especially cetaceans – and inflict the genocide they exhibited in the Second World War on not only humans but all marine animals, especially mammals. The Cove in Taji’ is an international outrage even now reported by CNN – proof that the atrocities of World War Two endure in the Japanese psyque. In addition to their irrational slaughter of marine animals (full of mercury) Japan offers us an endless list of “The Ridiculous” that literally threatens life on Earth.
Ever heard of Fukushima? Japan told us they had Nuclear Power all under control. Now our seas are contaminated by radioactive materials with a half life of 25,000 years that may kill us all – especially when you eat Japanese seafood.
I grew up in Sendai in the 1950’s in a 500 year old traditional mansion and traveled to Matsushima Bay every week-end, but I won’t set foot in the land of cetacean fascists until they stop their genocide. I won’t be going to the Olympics – a childhood dream – until Japan regains dignity and stops killing highly intelligent species who just happen not to be humans – and I encourage all people with dignity to do the same – Tokyo reminds me to much of Hitler’s 1936 Olympics. Hitler’s next step was carnage – and so is Japan’s.
I don’t like trashing anybody, but somebody – everybody – must speak out against the genocide of all marine animals. And do not forget these cetaceans are forced into a genocide far worse than a gas chamber. These highly intelligent family oriented mammals are hacked to death with spears and machetes until the seas turn red with their blood and the blood of their families.
The next time you dine with a Japanese remember what stands behind their sly smile – a barbaric quest to slash to ribbons intelligent, peaceful and highly intelligence beings who did no harm except swim in their traditional waters.
Always remember that Japan’s karma (and ours to some extent) is dictated by Fukushima and The Cove.

STOP the slaugher at the Cove
We must start a boycott of all Japanese products until the slaughter at the Cove ceases. Apparently the Japanese do not understand our resolve in the matter but we will succeeded in the end. Stop the slaughter now.

Killing whales and dolphins.
I just read some one said their hearts go out to the Japanese people I am sending them money. I urge do not send any money to the Japanese people. There was $30 million of relief money used to upgrade their railing ships. For they can feed their people with whale meat that has Mercury and it. Don't feel sorry for them the Japanese people are sitting on their hands and not doing anything about the slaughter of these magnificent whales and dolphins. Shame on the Japanese people!! Mr. George

Nisei American holocaust truth revealed out of Mpls Federal Building
The Minneapolis Federal Building--the Holocaust of the Nisei
The Nisei Holocaust in America: Who did the actual betrayal of the Nisei in America during and after WWII which created a concentration camp America like Heart Mountain. The Bureau f the Census broke the Oath of privacy act for these Asians. The story of the Nativity is an Asia Minor census story. This is the 24th Anniversary of the Cuba Caravan. I filed an expedite passport for an $85 fee at the Minneapolis Passport Agency located at 212 3rd Avenue S in Minneapolis, MN 55401. This is a birthing story year out of Cuba in the Orient of a great lawyer, Fidel Castro who stood up against the plundering of the Cuban government budget ad banking system money by Batista. He was born in Cuba's Orient. His grandmother was a Black woman.

Passport Agent 1898--a holocaust official in the modern context
Agent 2152

The Federal Building in downtown Minneapolis was bombed during the Vietnam Nam war era. Individuals who consulted draft resistors after the bombing were indicted for obstruction of religion. The new religion of America ironically is atrocity. The census bureau and the passport office are located in the Federal Building. The census workers broke the oath of privacy during the WWII era and forced concentration camp America for the American Nisei or Japanese. This passport problem is a Yoko Ono bias problem. The Johnson Reed laws are now illegal. Who will out the truth for the Nisei?

I am filing this citation today with the Southern Law and Poverty group in Atlanta, Georgia and with the Magazine Intelligence which monitors hate crimes and prosecutes the perpetrators and the Japanese Embassy.

Please treat Japanese bears with kindness and honor
To the Honorable Kenichiro Sasae:

Your Excellency,

I am writing to ask you to show kindness and care to the bears currently held in bear parks in Japan. The recent tragedy at the Hachimantai Bear Park highlights the danger and harm of keeping these creatures in such conditions.

In the interest of the safety and well-being of people and bears, I ask you to:

Encourage bear parks to develop naturalistic enclosures rather than concrete pits. Global standards for these enclosures have already been developed; the parks need only follow these standards.
Establish rules for conducting regular assessments of the condition, health and behavior of all animals, and keeping detailed records of these assessments.
Develop initiatives to help bear park staff members identify abnormal behavior and symptoms of illness and learn how best to give these Japanese bears the care they deserve.

If these conditions cannot be met, I urge you to close the bear parks and support the humane euthanasia of these bears.

Thank you for your consideration.

Japanese bear parks
I am writing to express my concern with regards to the welfare of bears in Japanese bear parks.

I urge the Japanese authorities to carry out the following actions:

Provide support to the bear parks to develop naturalistic enclosures which allow the bears to express natural behaviours and contain sufficient space and material to allow behavioural enrichment. Enclosures should be built following the standards developed at sanctuaries for brown bears and Asiatic black bears globally.
Develop protocols under the supervision of a veterinary surgeon that is familiar with current practice in the care of captive bears, to ensure the condition, health and behaviour of all animals is assessed regularly, and a record indicating changes to the prescribed diet, health checks carried out, any unusual behaviour or activity or other problems, and remedial actions taken.
Develop initiatives to provide capacity building training for members of staff to recognise abnormal behaviour and clinical symptoms of illness and develop the knowledge of the diets, husbandry, and enrichment procedures required for the bears in their care.
If these conditions cannot be met I urge you to close the bear parks and support the humane euthanasia of these bears.

Yours sincerely, Kristin Womack
