First Threat made against me for a political viewpoint

Well it seems my big mouth has finally gotten someone's attention.

Their twitter account is 40thieves whom, as i recall, ended up boiled in oil in the original story.  They have a fear inspiring logo with (Gasp) a skull!

Can I stand the pain!?!

Seriously, going to have to watch my computers, as these are bold from the basement types it seems.

Washington Examiner scrubs comments of opposing views

The Washington Examiner has scrubbed several comments calling them out for their rewriting of history regarding the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

http://washingtonexaminer.com/it-wasnt-necessary-to-hit-them-with-that-awful-thing-why-dropping-the-a-bombs-was-wrong/article/2534018

My comment pointing out the possibility that the Japanese were close to achieving a nuclear weapon was deleted as was another comment which i wish i had copied as it showed true knowledge of the events of the time.

Censored by Livefyre on Fox News

Lasted about 10 minutes and was removed, along with the comment i was responding to.


Thanks, i'll check it out, i follow Asian media closer than most Americans but i haven't watched that one yet.
I watched a history of kung-fu on netflix a while back and it had an interesting comment regarding the shift in plot lines of the kung-fu movies coming out of Hong Kong since the PRC took over. It's very true, my kids and i were actually surprised (at the time) at some of the early Donnie Yen movie's plots, "The PRC allowed this?" "Oh it's Hong Kong"
There has been a policy change in Korea the last few years with an associated rise in anti-Japanese sentiment.  Personally i think the PRC has it's greasy propaganda machine turning overtime to demonize the Japanese.  The S and E China seas are looking more turbulent every day.
For those that have any interest i keep a blog/diary for the purpose of linking interesting articles together such as the rise in suspicious deaths that would benefit the PRC, the PRC being behind the anti-US Okinawa protests, overflights and incursions, and some other oddities that interest me.  It can be found by searching for "Five Feet of Flight Line" (a Naval Air joke)  For a professional media more attuned to West-Pac i recommend the Austrailian based "The Diplomat".

Update 08/06/13:
It appears there are some deep shenanigans in the Korean Government.  Not my strong suit, but i find it interesting that presidential records are mysteriously disappearing:

Update 09/13/13

Is the rise in Chinese Nationalisim push to offset unrest?

The Chinese have been beating the nationalistic drum harder and harder lately it seems.

Celebrating "Victims of Japanese Germ Warfare Experiments" Day:
Victims of Japanese germ warfare remembered via twitter

State News Promoting a new book on the Rape of Nanking: (just a tweet)
https://twitter.com/XHNews/status/276724606885298176

What is lost in this rise in anti-Japanese rhetoric is that China's better half after WWII had to leave for Taiwan (Formosa).  

When will the PRC have a day of remembrance for the 20 to 40 million plus (i have seen as high as 78 million) that died at the hands of their current government during Mao's Cultural Revolutions and purges?

Are they seeking distraction for the people from internal troubles?
Index predicts social unrest in China over income disparity (Donga)

They use the Gini index (coefficient), which has risen significantly the last few years to 0.6, to predict social unrest in teh PRC.

Wiki's list of countries by Gini Index:

This is an incredibly high number if found to be reliable.

Media bias

A few months ago when this murder was first reported it was "rednecks slaughter innocent immigrant in hate crime"  prompting a round of diplomatic apologies and kowtowing.

Now a few months later, the truth comes out in the backwaters of the KTLA's website

PRC pushing Okinawa protests?

After talking with a Japanese friend about the protests in Okinawa against the American military presence there i found it interesting that many Japanese are upset at the Okinawa Governor (for taking money from somewhere and using state resources to stage protests) and i was pointed to a blog and a newspaper article.  Unfortunately they are written in Japanese and quick translation is beyond me even with the modern translation tools.  I may work through it in detail with my friend at a later date.

One thing of note is the evidence of the PRC attending (encouraging) the protests.  My friend gave them the status of agent provocateurs.

I take the liberty of copying the photos specifically because i do not wish to lose track of them:
 


Update 11/18/12
Okinawa Govenor, Hirokazu Nakaima, continues his quest

Update 8/26/2013
Article from Stars and Stripes about Pro-American Japanese protesting America's presence on Okinawa to undermine the "real" protesters.
