  2. The truth is that the employees were forced to leave even after the cloud funding has been successful. Not only that, the working environments of the company was distressing: They often overworked unpaid and had to purchase the necessary tools by themselves. This could very well be a donation scam and this Stephen guy is lying through their teeth.

Are you really Japanese? 🤥 “韓国人が言い逃れ続ける「慰安婦」の嘘” で検索してください。 According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached the women to say "I was abdu//cted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after KoreanCouncil put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean counil's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before U.N Special Rapporteur, li:ed on behalf of Korean council. They are sw:indlers" In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her.

In reality, it is deeper. The key player is increasingly not South Korea, but China, and the ultimate target is not Japan, but the United States, as the comfort women are co-opted by Beijing in its anti-American information war.” — The relationship between the Comfort women related NGO (Korean Council) and North Korea ⚫︎Yun Mi-Hyang (Chairwoman) was investigated for working with North Korea in 2013. ✴︎September 14, 2020, She was indicted on eight charges including fraud, embezzlement and breach of trust.   ⚫︎Kim Sam-Suk (Yun Mi-Hyang's husband) was arrested as a North Korean sp//y in 1993. ⚫︎Kim Eun-Ju (Kim Sam-Suk's sister) was arrested as a North Korean sp//y in 1993. ⚫︎Choi Gi-Yong (Kim Eun-Ju's husband) was arrested as a North Korean sp//y in 2006. ⚫︎Lee Seok-Gi (member) was arrested as a North Korean sp//y in 2013. —-

  5. The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “All Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother.

On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents."

Last time I saw the comment made by the workers, it had 1700 likes so it’s safe to say that many people have witnessed it.

  7. The Fabrication and Spread of the “Comfort Women = Sex Slaves” Theory Totsuka Etsuro: The author of the “sex slave” concept The man who first proposed to the United Nations that the comfort women be referred to as “sex slaves” was the Japanese human rights lawyer Totsuka Etsuro(CCP’s lobbyist) Totsuka brought up the term “sex slave” before the UN Commission on Human Rights, and before long UN bodies had accordingly defined the comfort women as being “sex slaves”. The idea that the comfort women were sex slaves did not arise from the findings of any empirical investigation, nor was it conceptualized on the basis of any facts. Totsuka said that the idea of adopting the term “sex slaves” simply popped into his mind one day. According to Fujiki, when Totsuka was asked about how he came up with the term “sex slaves”, he said, “I had a hunch! It was intuition!” He then continued as follows: “It’s amazing, isn’t it? I had been frequenting the United Nations for thirty-four years. During that time, I submitted over twenty motions to discuss instances of Japanese human rights violations and delivered statements on them here, but not one was taken up. And yet, in 1992, when I reframed the comfort women as being sex slaves, the UN commissioners were glued to my every word. So you see, it’s incredible, isn’t it?”

  8. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen.

  9. Yong-soo Lee, a former comfort woman who is treated like a national hero in South Korea and who seems to think of herself as an independence activist, appeared on KBS TV on August 15, 1992. When the program host asked her how she became a comfort woman, she answered as follows: “I was 16. I had no clothes, no food. Then someone gave me a dress and a pair of shoes, telling me to come with him. So I followed him, excited, without thinking about anything else.”

  11. Coaching comfort women and stage-managing testimonies at the UN Tachi saw one other important thing during the UN conference. When she got lost and was wandering through the huge building where the meeting was taking place, she stumbled upon a room where people were gathering. Here, former comfort women who were testifying on a stage were being prompted and trained on how to deliver their lines. Unsurprisingly, the people who were stage-managing the whole operation were Japanese women (activists close tie with communists). In this manner, the former comfort women were being trained as living witnesses to serve the movement.

  12. An article in Korean newspaper Kyunghyang Shinmun on June 6, 1977. It says that a Korean comfort station owner traffi/cked dozens of Korean comfort women to Asia to provide sex to Japanese/Korean soldiers there during World War II. It was common knowledge in Korea until the 1970s that Korean comfort station owners recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations, and no Koreans opposed that concept. Then Japanese newspaper published a series of fabricated articles in the 1980's falsely accusing Japanese military of coercing Korean comfort women. Korean communists with close ties to N Korea thought this was a great opportunity to defame Japan and block reconciliation between Japan and Korea. So they formed the anti-Japan lobby group in 1990 and began spreading comfort women’s false testimonies worldwide. Their tactic was to use the case of a small number of Dutch indonesia women who were coerced by lower ranked Japanese soldiers and make it look like the same thing happened to tens of thousands of Korean women. Since they had no evidence, they coached Korean women to testify falsely.

  13. One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  16. Lee Young-hoon, Korean professor of Seoul National University says “It is an internationally well-known fact that SK has a culture of lies. In 2014 1,400 persons were prosecuted for perjury, 172 times the Japanese equivalent (or 430 times, if population difference is taken into account). There were 1,250 times as many charges stemming from false accusations than in Japan. Insurance fraud is rampant; in 2014 total insurance fraud amounted to 4.5 trillion won, 100 times the US figure”

  20. U.S. Soldiers and South Korea’s “Western Princesses” When President Park Chung-hee seized power through a military coup in 1961, he initiated a “social purification drive” that included a “pros**tution prevention law.” However, rather than eliminate pros**tution, Park instead created 104 special prostitution districts, being desperate to retain the cash that American soldiers would otherwise spend in Japan. Referred to as “Yankee Princesses” or “Western Princesses,” women who worked in these districts were lectured to by Korean university professors, who lauded them for helping to accrue “precious foreign currency for the nation’s economic development” and for performing “patriotic” work.

  23. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

The amount of tritium is much lower than other countries. China and South Korea has been releasing much more radioactive material into the sea and the air. The content of tritium in the treated water is one seventh of drinking water. If you have a beef with it, why don't you tell it to the IAEA? Japan should follow the IAEAs policy.

  28. We in the West have embraced an odd "narrative." The Japanese army of the 1930s and 1940s, we write, forcibly drafted 200,000 mostly Korean teenage girls into "rape camps" called "comfort stations." Should anyone question the story, we summarily consign the person to "denier" status. This makes for a strange phenomenon. Only a few of the comfort women claim to have been forcibly recruited, and several of them had told a different story before the reparations campaign against Japan began. A strongly leftist affiliate runs their nursing home, controls whom they can see, and vilifies any woman who might say anything else. In fact, no one has ever located any documentary evidence that the Japanese military forcibly recruited any Korean woman into a comfort station. And when Korean academics question the orthodox account, their own government sometimes prosecutes them for criminal defamation -- indeed, sent one heterodox professor last fall to six months in prison -Harvard University

  29. Yes, SK is trying to cover up the truth [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

The German Wehrmacht had military brothels system in many was quite similar to the Japanese “comfort women” system, except that it actually involved more abu*se and comp*ulsion. In occupied countries, such as Poland, the German authorities banned “private” pros***ution, which made it possible to give women accused of being pros***utes the choice of going to prison or to Wehrmacht brothel. It is estimated that at least 30,000 women found themselves in such brothels. “

  31. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen.

  35. 1959 Oct 19 Donga Ilbo - "66% of Comfort Women Infected" October 19, 1959 ab article from the South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo. It is entitled "66% of Comfort Women Infected--Results of a Nationwide Testing of Female Entertainers." The article talks about how nationwide 392,707 female entertainers, including 261,089 comfort women, were tested for venereal disease over a 1-year period. The article is evidence that in 1959 Korea was registering women to be "comfort women," which was a euphemism for "military pros***ute." Korea was registering women to be pros***utes for UN soldiers stationed in Korea. The 261,089 comfort woment mentioned in the article is evidence that Korea had a significant number of comfort women, of which 66.4% were infected with a veneral disease. In the 1990s South Koreans begin criticizing Japan for its comfort women system in World War II, but have hardly said anything about its own comfort women system "If Koreans thoght the Japanese comfort women system was so bad, why did the Korean Government set up a similar 'comfort women' system for UN soldiers after the Japanese left Korea?"

  36. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  38. A Taiwanese eye witness commenting about the time when Taiwan was under the rule of Japan. "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a criminal. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

  39. Testimonies of comfort women in the early 1990s, when they first came forward, had nothing to do with forced recruitment. At the time, they testified that they became comfort women through the employment fraud of Koreans, or through se*x traff* cking carried out by their parents. But when the comfort women issue became a social, political problem as well as a diplomatic problem between South Korea and Japan, they started to change their words. They began to claim that they were “forcibly recruited.” Their testimony became politically contaminated.

Among them are the following: From a captured Japanese document, “Rules for Restaurants and Houses of Pros**tution,” dated February 1943: MANILA: “Persons receiving permission to open business [comfort station] will…submit…copy of personal histories of employees….” “Permission is necessary before anyone joins the establishment.” SHANGHAI SECTOR: “The pros**tutes will possess licenses….” “Unlicensed pros**tutes are strictly prohibited from plying their trade.” “The pros**tute and the operator will share equally the proceeds of the work done by the pros**tute.” “Tacloban Brothel Regulations,” undated: “Places called brothels in these regulations are special brothels operated with Filipino women (licensed pros**tutes).”

  43. When President Park Chung-hee seized power through a military coup in 1961, he initiated a “social purification drive” that included a “pros**tution prevention law.” However, rather than eliminate pros**tution, Park instead created 104 special pros***ution districts, being desperate to retain the cash that American soldiers would otherwise spend in Japan. Referred to as “Yankee Princesses” or “Western Princesses,” women who worked in these districts were lectured to by Korean university professors, who lauded them for helping to accrue “precious foreign currency for the nation’s economic development” and for performing “patriotic” work. SK records refer to the women as “fifth category supplies” – an addition to the four normal supply categories, reminiscent of the Japanese classification of women as “military supplies.” . . . The similarities in the pattern of operations include soldiers lining up in front of the tents, the women being classified according to the ranks of the men they served, and a hierarchical order of access to their se:xual services SK have continued until today to procure pros**tutes under conditions of near-coercion for the use of their own troops and U.S. servicemen. In 2003, after informal and non-binding hearings instituted by the Philippine government, the Seoul District Court ruled that three night club owners near U.S. Camp Casey must compensate Filipina women who said they had been forced into pros**tution at the clubs If Koreans thoght the Japanese comfort women system was so bad, why did the Korean Government set up a similar 'comfort women' system for UN soldiers after the Japanese left Korea?"

That’s why we take a somewhat different stance from the Koreans who stridently demand reparations.” The participants in the conference suddenly erupted into jeer and exclaimed, “What are you saying!” Before she had finished speaking, the conference room fell into pandemonium as the attendees threw fits or began approaching the podium. One person yelled, “Stop interpreting!”, and the interpreter abruptly halted. The ones who had shouted her down were well-known Japanese human rights activists.(communists)

She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon."

The former comfort women also said, "When we applied for Japan's Asian Women's Fund in 1998, we were fiercely opposed by the Korean council and the others.” They were unable to withstand threats of “Do not to receive the money from Japan”, and a significant number of them did not receive it. Seven of the applicants who received money claimed that they had been told that if they received money from Japan they were “volunteered pros**tutes” and that this had left them traumatised. At the time, Ms. Shim wanted to receive an apology and support from Japan when she was still alive, so she received the Asian Women's Fund. It has been reported that some of the comfort women were kicked out of the "House of Nanum" when they refused to attend media and demonstration sites. The comfort women claimed that the activities of the Korean council, such as the Wednesday demonstration, were "unhelpful to the diplomatic relations between Korea and Japan".

  51. [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school. —-

  66. One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s suppo:sed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995(Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  67. A Taiwanese eye witness commenting about the time when Taiwan was under the rule of Japan. "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a collaborator. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abd*ucted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council. They are swi*ndlers"

  71. A Taiwanese eye witness says "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a spy and accuse you of being a war criminal. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

  72. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen.

  73.  @claudel1027  [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school. —-

Dutch government officially announced that “Dutch government regards the Comfort women system primarily as pros**tution.” 1994 — The Bart von Poelgeest Report “The study by Dr. Poelgeest, then an officer of the Ministry of Interior of the Netherlands, was commissioned by the Dutch government in 1993. It is a comprehensive report on the recruitment, voluntary, of European women for pros**tution in the Dutch East Indies during the Japanese occupation in World War II. It also briefly touches upon recruitment of local women although that is not the focus of the study. There was nothing in the report to indicate a policy or practice of mass abduction of women, European or locals, as comfort women.”

  76. SK government never apologize even deny it’s wrongdoing in Vietnam 【Who are the Lai Dai Han?】 The “Lai Dai Han” are the tens of thousands of children of Vietnamese women ra*ped by South Korean soldiers during the Vietnam War. Between 1964 and 1973, some 320,000 South Korean soldiers were deployed to Vietnam to fight alongside the United States. Some of the women that were ra*ped or experienced sex*ual violence were as young as 【12 or 13 】at the time, and more than 800 victims are still alive. Today, as a result of the ra*pe and sexual violence that took place, tens of thousands of young adults of mixed Vietnamese-Korean heritage live in the shadows of Vietnamese society. Many of the Lai Dai Han and their families live in severe poverty, cannot read or write and do not have access to social services, such as healthcare and education. The Government of South Korea has never recognised the se*xual violence that took place and has never apologised for the crimes of its soldiers.

  77. According to joint research of Stanford university, Japanese textbook is the most fair and less nationalism. *The Divided Memories and Reconciliation project of the Walter H. Shorenstein Asia Pacific Research Center (APARC) at Stanford University The following is an excerpt from the research. — Some common assumptions about history textbooks used in Japan turn out to be ill-founded. Far from inculcating patriotism, as many overseas observers assume, Japanese high school textbooks tend to dryly present a chronology of historical facts, with little interpretive narrative added. This is the finding of the Divided Memories and Reconciliation project by the author and his colleague Professor Gi-Wook Shin, involving an in-depth comparison of history textbooks used in China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and the United States. Heavy on Facts, Light on Patriotism What the research uncovered was quite different from the common perception found in media, not only in Asia but also in the United States. Far from being nationalistic, Japanese textbooks seem the least likely to stir patriotic passions. They do not celebrate war, they do not stress the importance of the military, and they tell no tales of battlefield heroism. Instead they offer a rather dry chronology of events without much interpretive narrative. the Japanese textbooks are perhaps the least overt in their mission to present a patriotic narrative about the story of the nation. In contrast, national curriculum guides in most other East Asian countries assert the promotion of national pride and national identity as the primary function of history education. The desire to nurture a sense of national pride sometimes produces curious forms of myopia about the wartime period, most notably in the South Korean textbooks. The narrative of the wartime period offered to South Korean students is focused almost entirely on the oppressive experience of Koreans under Japanese colonial rule and on tales of Korean resistance to their overlords. South Korean textbooks barely mention the outbreak of war in China in 1937 or the attack on Pearl Harbor, and in the case of the main textbook published by the government there is no mention at all of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Japan participated in the WW2 in 1939 -1945-1939=6 years In her speech, 9/18/2013 in France, She said that her human rights has been violated by IJA in “Korean war”. -There is no IJA during the Korean war. Her human rights has been likely violated by UN/US soldiers. 122 of Korean comfort women for the UN/US sued their government in 2014. While Korean comfort women who sued Japan were only 9 in 1991. It means the US had more sex slaves than Japan. —

  80. Some Israeli organizations have expressed that it is improper and offensive for them for what Korean/Chinese activists are attempting to compare the issue of Comfort Women to the wrongdoing done by Nazi-Germany “The actions of Japan in the occupied countries were thoroughly investigated after the war. The guilty parties faced an international tribunal in Tokyo. Though one of the judges, Justice R.B. Pal from India, found some of the charges excessive and issued a dissenting opinion, Japan accepted the findings and the verdict in an agreement signed after the end of the American occupation in 1952. At no point during the trial was the alleged government conspiracy to enslave sexually 200,000 women brought to the judges’ attention and it is impossible to assume that they would overlook something so important. The issue of the army brothels was investigated by the American authorities. Declassified documents show that the conclusion was that in most cases they employed paid prostitutes. Again, there was no sex slave conspiracy uncovered. In the 1960’s, Japan negotiated a reparations settlement with South Korea, signed in 1965. Consequently, a large sum was paid in full in several installments. During that period, South Korea didn’t raise the “comfort women” issue, and neither did China. That happened only in 1991.” -Israel Friendship association

  81. “Anybody who puts on the same plane Japan’s behaviour during World War II and the German one, and who comments unfavorably on Japan’s post war response to its defeat with the German one is either very ignorant or needs a serious reset of his moral compass. - One of the most often rep:eated and most dist:orted myt:hs concerning Japan’s suppo:sed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995(Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  82. Reports of international organizations are based on the testimony of comfort women and that of Seiji Yoshida, documents of the Japanese military, and the Kono Statement. The Japanese government only released the Kono Statement because it was pressured by the circumstances where almost everyone believed there existed testimonies of victims and perpetrators, and military documents proving them. However, since 1993, it has been proven that the military documents were in fact irrelevant to the claim of forced recruitment. No additional documents have been found. Furthermore, as Seiji Yoshida’s My War Crimes: The Forced Removal of Koreans turned out to be a work of fiction, the Asahi newspaper had to retract their previous reports based on Yoshida’s statements, which was quite disconcerting given its reputation as the largest circulating newspaper in Japan. So, although it might seem there is an abundant amount of evidence, the reality is that every evidence was already refuted, and the only piece of evidence that remains today is the testimony of comfort women.

Os testemunhos das ex-Comfort Women são inconsistentes, visto que foram treinados pela organização extremamente esquerdista "Conselho Coreano" ⚫︎Em uma entrevista com a professora Chunghee Sarah Soh, da San Francisco State University, uma ex-consoladora coreana Kim Sun-ok disse que foi vendida por seus pais quatro vezes. Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em uma entrevista com o professor Park da Sejong University na Coreia do Sul, uma ex-coreana Bae Chun-hee disse que odiava o pai que a vendeu. Ela disse que os homens que recrutaram mulheres coreanas e operaram estações de conforto eram “todos coreanos”, e que as mulheres coreanas que testemunharam perante o Relator Especial da ONU mentiram em nome do Conselho Coreano. ⚫︎Uma ex-consoladora coreana Mun Oku-chu disse em suas memórias: "Fui recrutado por um dono de estação de conforto coreano. Economizei uma quantia considerável de dinheiro com gorjetas, então abri uma conta poupança. Não podia acreditar que pudesse ter tanto dinheiro em minha conta. Um de meus amigos juntou muitos joias, por isso comprei um diamante. Costumava ver filmes japoneses e peças de Kabuki em que os jogadores vinham do Japão. Tornei-me uma mulher popular em Rangum. Havia muito mais oficiais em Rangum do que perto da linha de frente, por isso fui convidado para muitas festas. Cantei canções em festas e recebi muitas dicas. Coloquei um par de sapatos de salto alto, um casaco verde e carregava uma bolsa de couro de crocodilo. Eu andava com um vestido da moda. Ninguém na cidade Eu poderia imaginar que eu era uma mulher reconfortante. Eu me senti muito feliz e orgulhosa. Recebi permissão para voltar para casa, mas não queria voltar para a Coréia. Eu queria ficar em Rangoon. " De acordo com o professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul, Mun Oku-chu continuou a trabalhar como prostituta na Coréia após a guerra. Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em uma entrevista ao jornal coreano The Hankyoreh (o artcile foi publicado em 15 de maio de 1991), uma ex-consorte coreana Kim Hak-sun disse que foi vendida por sua mãe. Em 1993, Kim Hak-sun disse ao professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul: "Minha mãe me mandou treinar como Kiseng em Pyongyang e depois me vendeu". Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi abduzida pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em 1993, uma ex-consorte coreana Kim Gun-ja disse ao professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul: "Fui vendida por meu pai adotivo". Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. Kim Gun-ja também testemunhou perante o Comitê de Relações Exteriores dos Estados Unidos em 2007 e disse que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em 1993, uma ex-consoladora coreana Lee Yong-soo disse ao professor Ahn Byong Jik da Universidade de Seul: "Na época, eu estava mal vestido e miserável. No dia em que saí de casa com minha amiga Kim Pun-sun sem contar para minha mãe, Eu estava usando uma saia preta, uma camisa de algodão e tamancos de madeira nos pés. Você não sabe como fiquei feliz quando recebi um vestido vermelho e um par de sapatos de couro de um recrutador coreano. " Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi abduzida pelos militares japoneses. Lee Yong-soo também testemunhou perante o Comitê de Relações Exteriores da Câmara dos Estados Unidos em 2007. Ela foi informada de que tinha cinco minutos para falar. Ela ignorou a instrução e continuou por mais de uma hora fazendo uma performance de choro e gritos. Seu falso testemunho resultou na aprovação da Resolução 121 da Câmara dos Representantes dos Estados Unidos. Em 2017, Lee Yong-soo deu falsos testemunhos perante a Câmara Municipal de São Francisco, o que resultou na construção de uma estátua feminina de conforto naquela cidade. ⚫︎ De acordo com a professora Chunghee Sarah Soh, da San Francisco State University, uma ex-coreana Moon Pil-ki foi recrutada por um agente do dono de uma estação de conforto coreana e levada para a Manchúria com outras quatro mulheres. Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em 1993, uma ex-mulher coreana de conforto, Kil Won-ok, disse ao professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul: "Fui vendida por meus pais". Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ De acordo com várias testemunhas, o Conselho Coreano (grupo ativista pró-Norte) treinou mulheres para dizer "Eu fui sequestrada pelos militares japoneses." O professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul, diz: "Quando entrevistei ex-mulheres consoladoras no início da década de 1990, nenhuma delas tinha nada de ruim a dizer sobre os militares japoneses. Elas odiavam seus pais que as vendiam e os donos de consoles coreanos que as maltratavam. Mas depois que o Conselho Coreano os colocou em sua folha de pagamento, seus depoimentos mudaram completamente. " ⚫︎ Uma ex-coreana Sim Mi-ja que se recusou a estar na folha de pagamento do Conselho Coreano disse: "As mulheres coreanas, que testemunharam perante o Relator Especial da ONU, mentiram em nome do Conselho Coreano. Elas são vigaristas".

  84. The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me."

Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents."

Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council. They are swi*ndlers"

In Japan at that time, there was absolutely no talk of “Korean comfort women being sex slaves forcibly taken by the Japanese army.” The comfort women appearing in Japanese movies as well were depicted as pros**utes chasing the Japanese army to earn money on the battlefield.

After 7 years of research, they found no evidence of the forced prostitution of comfort women, the Nanjing Massacre. “Final Report to the US Congress on Nazi War Crimes & Japanese Imperial Government Records” authored by the Interagency Working Group (IWG).” The report was published in the spring of 2007. Out of millions of pages of newly declassified material, much of it related to Japan, and they were unable to find evidence of forced prostitution. They also looked for information about the Nanjing Massacre and unit 731, but found no smoking guns. Nobody doubts that there was a massacre in Nanjing, and nobody doubts the Chinese ability to exaggerate by orders of magnitude, and then to believe their own stories. A Chinese organization lobbied for the IWG investigation. The “Global Alliance for Preserving the History of WWII in Asia” (Global Alliance). It should be noted that Global Alliance was closely associated with Iris Chang, author of “The Rape of Nanking”. Surprisingly, the IWG report offers an apology to Global Alliance for not finding anything.

  90. Have you watched Lee Yon-Soo’s lie? Check my saved video Lee Yong-soo filmed in 1992 is now found, in which she testified that she became Comfort Woman just because she followed a man who gave her a dress and shoes, NOT because she was tricked or abducted by force by Imperial Japanese Army. The footage filmed on Aug 15th, 1992 at KBS. That seems a little bit ironic that the announcer reconfirmed that she became Comfort Woman NOT because she was abd*ucted by force by Imperial Japanese Army, but she just followed a man by her own will. —— ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city.

  91. Watch the video carefully In this video, Kim Bok-Dong testified that she worked as a comfort woman for 8 years until 1948 but WW2 ended 1945. -IJA didn’t exist after WW2. Japan participated the WW2 in 1939 -1945-1939=6 years In her speech, 9/18/2013 in France, She said that her human rights was violated by IJA in “Korean war”. -There is no IJA during the Korean war. Her human rights was likely violated by UN/US soldiers.

  92. Kim said she has never received an apology from Japan, which is a flat-out lie. The truth is that comfort women's organization “Korean council” embezzle donations, force comfort women to lie, obstruct reconciliation with Japan, so that they can continue the comfort women propaganda. Japan has apologized many times and paid huge amounts of atonement money to the Korean women, but the Korean government has not given it to the women. *Japan-South Korea Treaty of 1965 During treaty negotiations, the Japanese government asked the S Korean government to identify and separate individual claims from the treaty because the Japanese government wanted to make sure the survivors received compensation. The South Korean government declined and accepted the entire sum of 800 million dollars (over ten billion dollars in today's money) in place of its citizens and spent all of it on infrastructures. Therefore it is not reasonable for the South Korean government to keep asking for additional compensation from Japan. *South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan” And their claim that they were forced into pros**tution is also a lie. A Korean professor interviewed the Korean women in 2003. After the interview professor commented: “I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean spi*es) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.”

I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war.

  94. An article in Korean newspaper Kyunghyang Shinmun on June 6, 1977. It says that a Korean comfort station owner traff_cked dozens of Korean comfort women to Rabaul, Papua New Guinea to provide sex to Japanese/ Korean soldiers there during World War II. It was common knowledge in S Korea until the 1970s that Korean comfort station owners recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations, and no S Koreans contested that notion. Then Japanese newspaper published a series of fabricated articles in the 1980's falsely accusing Japanese military of abd_ucting Korean comfort women. S Korean communists with close ties to N Korea thought this was a great opportunity to discredit Japan and block reconciliation between Japan and S Korea. So they formed the anti-Japan lobby group in 1990 and began spreading comfort women lies worldwide.

  96. July 14, 1954 - "Evil Pimp Arrested" This July 14, 1954 article is from the South Korean newspaper Gyeonghyang Sinmun. “I heard stories similar to this one even in the late 1970s, when I was in the navy and stationed in South Korea, but I never heard of the pimps being arrested. In fact, the girls told me they could not go to the local police for help because they believed them to be working with the pimps.” Daegu] Jin Yong-hui, who operates a "who*re house" at No. 67 Kyo-dong in Daegu City, has been brought in for questioning, without detention, at the Daegu Women's Police Station. Ms. Jin is charged with previously telling 21-year-old Kim Hak-i (金學伊) that she would pay her debt of 30,000 hwan if she would work for one month as a comfort woman, but when Ms. Kim could no longer endure the suffering and tried to escape on the 7th, she was illegally confined and beaten numerous times.

How do we explain a massacre with no witnesses?”

  99. “It has also become clear that What War Means is a propaganda book compiled and published by the Counterintelligence Division of the Nationalist Ministry of Information’s International Propaganda Section. Timperley was paid by the Ministry of Information for editing the book. Thus, What War Means, perceived as proof of the ‘Nanking Massacre,’ was not written from an impartial standpoint. On the contrary, it can be viewed only as war propaganda.”

  100. “CHUKIREN” (The Association of Returnees from China (中国帰還者連絡会, Chūgoku Kikansha Renraku Kai), is composed of former IJA who were captured on the Chinese front and were later sent to a concentration camp in Fushun, in which P.O.W.s were thoroughly brainwashed by the CCP, and then returned to Japan to act as an agitprop unit in order to turn Japan Red. Their testimonies are highly dubious in the first place and the witnesses’ statements about Unit 731, Nanjing, Comfort women are completely groundless.

  101. In July 29, 1937, a group of some 3,000 Chinese soldiers ambushed Japanese garrison’s barracks “and proceeded to raid Japanese shops, inns, and private homes. Approximately 200 of the 380 Japanese residents of Tongzhou were slaughtered. The 120 who survived did so only because they fled to the barracks, seeking refuge, before they were surrounded. “These acts were flagrant violations of international law relating to the conduct of war (hereafter referred to as ‘international law’). Four days after the incident, the aforementioned director officially condemned the Chinese troops for the abd*uction, r*pe, and slaughter of Japanese citizens. Defense attorneys submitted his statement to the Tokyo Trials, but it was rejected by William Webb, the presiding justice, without explanation. The Allies were unwilling to allow any mention of the Tongzhou Massacre in the courtroom.” In April of 1947, “defense attorney Levine called Kayashima Takashi (a former lieutenant-general in the Japanese Army) to the witness stand.” Takashi testified that the Chinese were committed brutal acts of rape and murder. His soldiers were called to Tongzhou in order to rescue the Japanese settlers.

  102. “No Chinese military personnel inside the city walls surrendered to the Japanese. Accordingly, during the 11-year period spanning December 13, 1937, the day Nanking fell, to December 1948, when the Tokyo Trials ended, no one accused Japanese troops of having killed prisoners of war in violation of the aforementioned regulations. Confronted with these facts, how can anyone claim that the Japanese murdered prisoners of war? “The Japanese are accused of having murdered 7,000 persons each day, i.e., 300,000 persons over a period of six weeks. But according to ‘Daily Reports of Serious Injuries to Civilians,’ the only killing witnessed by a European or American in Nanking was one ‘lawful execution.’

  103. So the Nanking issue is much more complicated than what has been portrayed by the New York Times and the Chicago Daily News. Numerous important documents around the time of the alleged massacre in Nanking never mentioned the event either. In fact, “the International Information Department (a branch of the Ministry of Information established not long before the fall of Nanking) sponsored 300 press conferences for foreign journalists between December 1, 1937 and October 24, 1938. During that time, emergency press conferences were called whenever important news broke (even in the dead of night, according to reports), and the news was transmitted all over the world. But no press conference was ever called to announce a massacre in Nanking.

  104. "Japonya'nın Kore'ye karşı işlediği iddia edilen suçlarla ilgili en sık tekrarlanan ve en çarpık efsanelerden biri, sözde “konfor kadınları" ile ilgilidir” Almanya Japonya doğru olmasa da “suçlarını telafi” olduğunu sonunda hakkındaki iddialar. Sadece bir yönü düşünmeme izin verin. 1965'te Kore hükümeti Park Chung-hee, iki ülke arasındaki ilişkileri normalleştiren Japonya ile bir anlaşma imzaladı. Antlaşma uyarınca Güney Kore, Japon egemenliğinin kurbanları için çok büyük miktarda ekonomik yardım, hibe, kredi ve önemli ölçüde tazminat aldı. (Japon hükümeti ulusal bütçenin 2,5 katını tazminat olarak ödedi, ancak Kore'de 40 yıl boyunca Japonya'ya karşı nefreti kışkırtmak için gizli tuttu ve Kore hükümeti gerçeği gizlemeye devam ediyor. Tüm bireysel iddialar 1965 Japonya-Güney Kore Antlaşması'nda çözülmesine rağmen, Japon hükümeti Koreli kadınlara birkaç kez iyi bir jest olarak tazminat teklif etti. Bununla birlikte, Japonya 1995 yılında Asya kadın Fonu aracılığıyla tazminat teklif ettiğinde(tazminat, Japonya Başbakanı'ndan kişisel bir özür mektubu ile geldi), Güney Koreli STK, eski konfor kadınlarını Japonya'nın özürünü ve tazminatını kabul etmemekle tehdit etti. STK'NIN emrine meydan okuyanların 61'i hain olarak doğrulandı, isimleri ve adresleri gazetelerde fahişe olarak yayınlandı ve hayatlarının geri kalanını utanç içinde yaşamak zorunda kaldılar. Güney Kore hükümeti, 2015 yılında konfor kadınları konusunda Japonya-Kore anlaşması imzaladı ve Japon hükümeti eski Koreli konfor kadınlarına kefaret parası olarak 1 milyar dolar ödedi. Ancak, Kore Moon Jae In yönetimi, 2018'de herhangi bir bildirimde bulunmaksızın anlaşmayı terk etti. Fesih duyurusu Japonya için tamamen kabul edilemez. Cumhurbaşkanı Moon Jae-in de dahil olmak üzere ROK Hükümeti, defalarca “anlaşmayı terk etmeyeceğini” ve “Japonya ile yeniden müzakere istemeyeceğini " belirtti”) - O sırada Japon hükümeti bireysel kurbanları telafi etmeyi teklif etti, ancak Güney Kore hükümeti teklifi reddetti ve tüm parayı alması ve vatandaşlarını telafi etmesi konusunda ısrar etti. Bu paranın çok azı (sadece 250 ABD doları) bireylere ödendi ve bunun yerine Güney Kore'nin ekonomik gelişimi için kullanıldı. Japon hükümeti, konfor kadın sistemi için özür diledi (aslında savaştan önce hem Kore hem de Japonya'da var olan ve çok sayıda Japon fahişenin yanı sıra diğer ülkelerden gelenleri de içeren lisanslı fuhuş sisteminin bir uzantısıydı), Almanya hiçbir zaman özür dilemedi veya eski fahişelere herhangi bir tazminat ödemedi. Aslında, hiç kimse böyle bir şey talep etmedi, çünkü işgal altındaki ülkelerde haklı ya da yanlış bir şekilde işbirlikçi olarak görülen bu kadınlar hiçbir zaman destekçi ya da savunucu bulamadılar” - Profesör Andrzej Kozlowski, Varşova Üniversitesi

  105. A Taiwanese eye witness commenting about the time when Taiwan was under the rule of Japan. "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a collaborator. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

  108. As academics, we are used to dealing with exaggerations. We are not used to finding that the story is pure fiction. But that is the nature of the comfort-women-se*x-slave story. It’s been a bizarrely unending story. Elderly Korean women claim to have been forced at Japanese bayonet-point to work as sex slaves. The Japanese government replies that the Korean government waived claims like this by treaty in 1965. But it expresses sympathy anyway, and offers more money. Koreans still complain. The Japanese government apologizes again, offers more money, and the Korean government promises never to raise the question again. Then a new political party takes power, declares the Japanese apology insincere, and starts the process all over again. Expressing sympathy to elderly women who have had a rough life is fine. Paying money to an ally in order to rebuild a stable relationship is fine. But the claims about enslaved Korean comfort women are historically untrue. The Japanese army did not dragoon Korean women to work in its brothels. It did not use Korean women as s*ex slaves. The claims to the contrary are simply ー factually ー false. -HARVARD university JOHN M. OLIN CENTER FOR LAW, ECONOMICS, AND BUSINESS

  109. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen.

  111. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  114. The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abd*ucted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council. They are swi*ndlers"

  116. [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

  117. One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  118. Korean scholars say: “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing.

  119. The Japanese military sent notices to comfort station operators prohibiting them to recruit women against their will. The Japanese comfort station operators followed the order and only recruited willing women in Japan, but the Korean operators didn't follow the order and recruited both willing pros**tutes and unwilling women in Korea. If the Korean operators had followed the order, there wouldn't have been any comfort women issue 1938 Mar 4 - Notice Concerning Comfort Women in China The following is a March 4, 1938 notice to Japanese military commanders in China concerning Comfort Women. Title: “Matters regarding recruitment at military comfort station” <Notification> From: Assistant To: Army Chief Generals of the troops in northern China and of the expeditionary force in central China When brokers recruited comfort women for establishment of brothels during Sino-Japanese war, there were more than a few infamous cases to which we need to pay attention: the case of some brokers using the authority of the Japanese military for their recruitment, as the result, they ruined the credibility of the Japanese military, which led to a misunderstanding of ordinary people, the case that some brokers used an unruly method of recruiting through embedded journalists and visitors, causing social problems, the case that some brokers were arrested and placed under investigation because their recruiting method was similar to kid*napping. From now, as regards the recruitment of comfort women, the expeditionary force must properly choose and control brokers who recruit comfort women. Also, it is necessary to cooperate with military police and law enforcement authorities. To keep the prestige of Japanese military and to consider social problems, take careful note without omission.

  121. Interview with former comfort woman -Bae Junchul: Was the owner of the comfort station in Bengbu also Korean? –Yes, all of them were Koreans. The amount of the up-front loan was decided through negotiation between both parties, the contract term was clearly set and there was a term regulating resale of the comfort woman. An agreement and the seal of the head of the household were required. A comfort woman and her parents knew what kind of work she would do for the Japanese military and that prior to resale, the up-front loan would change hands to the new entrepreneur. What else would be needed to prove that the entire scheme was nothing less than a contractual relationship?

Os testemunhos das ex-Comfort Women são inconsistentes, visto que foram treinados pela organização extremamente esquerdista "Conselho Coreano" ⚫︎Em uma entrevista com a professora Chunghee Sarah Soh, da San Francisco State University, uma ex-consoladora coreana Kim Sun-ok disse que foi vendida por seus pais quatro vezes. Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em uma entrevista com o professor Park da Sejong University na Coreia do Sul, uma ex-coreana Bae Chun-hee disse que odiava o pai que a vendeu.

Economizei uma quantia considerável de dinheiro com gorjetas, então abri uma conta poupança. Não podia acreditar que pudesse ter tanto dinheiro em minha conta. Um de meus amigos juntou muitos joias, por isso comprei um diamante. Costumava ver filmes japoneses e peças de Kabuki em que os jogadores vinham do Japão. Tornei-me uma mulher popular em Rangum. Havia muito mais oficiais em Rangum do que perto da linha de frente, por isso fui convidado para muitas festas. Cantei canções em festas e recebi muitas dicas. Coloquei um par de sapatos de salto alto, um casaco verde e carregava uma bolsa de couro de crocodilo. Eu andava com um vestido da moda. Ninguém na cidade Eu poderia imaginar que eu era uma mulher reconfortante. Eu me senti muito feliz e orgulhosa. Recebi permissão para voltar para casa, mas não queria voltar para a Coréia. Eu queria ficar em Rangoon. " De acordo com o professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul, Mun Oku-chu continuou a trabalhar como prostituta na Coréia após a guerra. Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em uma entrevista ao jornal coreano The Hankyoreh (o artcile foi publicado em 15 de maio de 1991), uma ex-consorte coreana Kim Hak-sun disse que foi vendida por sua mãe. Em 1993, Kim Hak-sun disse ao professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul: "Minha mãe me mandou treinar como Kiseng em Pyongyang e depois me vendeu". Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi abduzida pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em 1993, uma ex-consorte coreana Kim Gun-ja disse ao professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul: "Fui vendida por meu pai adotivo". Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. Kim Gun-ja também testemunhou perante o Comitê de Relações Exteriores dos Estados Unidos em 2007 e disse que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em 1993, uma ex-consoladora coreana Lee Yong-soo disse ao professor Ahn Byong Jik da Universidade de Seul: "Na época, eu estava mal vestido e miserável. No dia em que saí de casa com minha amiga Kim Pun-sun sem contar para minha mãe, Eu estava usando uma saia preta, uma camisa de algodão e tamancos de madeira nos pés. Você não sabe como fiquei feliz quando recebi um vestido vermelho e um par de sapatos de couro de um recrutador coreano. " Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi abduzida pelos militares japoneses. Lee Yong-soo também testemunhou perante o Comitê de Relações Exteriores da Câmara dos Estados Unidos em 2007. Ela foi informada de que tinha cinco minutos para falar. Ela ignorou a instrução e continuou por mais de uma hora fazendo uma performance de choro e gritos. Seu falso testemunho resultou na aprovação da Resolução 121 da Câmara dos Representantes dos Estados Unidos. Em 2017, Lee Yong-soo deu falsos testemunhos perante a Câmara Municipal de São Francisco, o que resultou na construção de uma estátua feminina de conforto naquela cidade. ⚫︎ De acordo com a professora Chunghee Sarah Soh, da San Francisco State University, uma ex-coreana Moon Pil-ki foi recrutada por um agente do dono de uma estação de conforto coreana e levada para a Manchúria com outras quatro mulheres. Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em 1993, uma ex-mulher coreana de conforto, Kil Won-ok, disse ao professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul: "Fui vendida por meus pais". Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ De acordo com várias testemunhas, o Conselho Coreano (grupo ativista pró-Norte) treinou mulheres para dizer "Eu fui sequestrada pelos militares japoneses." O professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul, diz: "Quando entrevistei ex-mulheres consoladoras no início da década de 1990, nenhuma delas tinha nada de ruim a dizer sobre os militares japoneses. Elas odiavam seus pais que as vendiam e os donos de consoles coreanos que as maltratavam. Mas depois que o Conselho Coreano os colocou em sua folha de pagamento, seus depoimentos mudaram completamente. " ⚫︎ Uma ex-coreana Sim Mi-ja que se recusou a estar na folha de pagamento do Conselho Coreano disse: "As mulheres coreanas, que testemunharam perante o Relator Especial da ONU, mentiram em nome do Conselho Coreano. Elas são vigaristas".

  126. The protracted political dispute between South Korea and Japan over the wartime brothels called "comfort stations" obscures the contractual dynamics involved. These dynamics reflected the straightforward logic of the "credible commitments" so basic to elementary game theory. The brothel owners and potential pros**tutes faced a problem: the brothel needed credibly to commit to a contractual structure (i) generous enough to offset the dangers and reputational damage to the pros**tute that the job entailed, while (ii) giving the pros**tute an incentive to exert effort while working at a harsh job in an unobservable environment. Realizing that the brothel owners had an incentive to exaggerate their future earnings, the women demanded a large portion of their pay upfront. Realizing that they were headed to the war zone, they demanded a relatively short maximum term. And realizing that the women had an incentive to shirk, the brothel owners demanded a contractual structure that gave women incentives to work hard. To satisfy these superficially contradictory demands, the women and brothels concluded indenture contracts that coupled (i) a large advance with one- or two-year maximum terms, with (ii) an ability for the women to leave early if they generated sufficient revenue.

It suggests SK had a serious VD epidemic at the time. 1 Million Tested Under VD Eradication Policy The Ministry of Heath has set up ninety-six health clinics nationwide in an effort to eradicate venereal disease (VD). The Ministry said it tested more than 1 million women last year, including hostesses, dancers, and comfort women. It treated infected women for free. However, because of such shortages as budget, medicine, and facilities; concerned authorities, on the 15th, said they could not test men on a mass scale and focuses only on testing and treating women, suggesting that eradication of VD was not possible.

  128. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

  131.  @fawndoll190  The Bart von Poelgeest Report The study by Dr. Poelgeest, then an officer of the Ministry of Interior of the Netherlands, was commissioned by the Dutch government in 1993. It is a comprehensive report on the recruitment, voluntary, of European women for pros***ution in the Dutch East Indies during the Japanese occupation in World War II. It also briefly touches upon recruitment of local women although that is not the focus of the study. There was nothing in the report to indicate a policy or practice of mass abdu*ction of women, European or locals, as comfort women. “During the war in China in the 1930s, the occurrence of venereal disease among the troops had led to problems with deployment and the Japanese military forces therefore decided to set up military brothels as a preventive measure. In addition to local women, Japanese and Korean women – Korea being part of the Japanese Empire – were recruited for the brothels in China. In practice, it was the local military commanders who had to draw up regulations on the establishment of military brothels in their territory. The chief of staff of the 16th army on Java and thus head of the military administration there decided that a license was required for the establishment of a military brothel. A license was issued only if certain conditions were met, relating to, for example, regular medical check-ups and payment. A further precondition was that the women working in the brothels had to do so voluntarily; according to the regulations, a license would only be issued if the women involved signed a statement to the effect that they were providing their service voluntarily.”

  134.  @tambunting8416  The testimonies of unit 731, Nanjing, Comfort women by Chukiren are unreliable as they were brainwashed by the CCP. “The Association of Returnees from China, Chūgoku Kikansha Renraku Kai), often abbreviated to Chukiren, was an organization formed on 24 September 1957 following the repatriation to Japan of soldiers from the former IJA who were interned as war criminals in China's Fushun War Criminals Management Centre, where interns were subjected to intensive indoctrination by the CCP.

  135. The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women.

Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council.

  136. Have you watched Lee Yon-Soo’s video? Check my saved video Lee Yong-soo, the most famous comfort woman, filmed in 1992 is now found, in which she testified that she became Comfort Woman just because she followed a man who gave her a dress and shoes, NOT because she was tricked or abducted by force by Imperial Japanese Army. The footage filmed on Aug 15th, 1992 at KBS. That seems a little bit ironic that the announcer reconfirmed that she became Comfort Woman NOT because she was abd*ucted by force by Imperial Japanese Army, but she just followed a man by her own will.

  137. One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

Arkadaşlarımdan biri birçok mücevher topladı, bu yüzden gittim ve bir elmas aldım. Sık sık Japon filmlerini izlemeye gittim ve oyuncuların anakara Japonya'dan geldiği Kabuki oyunları. Rangoon'da popüler bir kadın oldum. Rangoon'da cephe hatlarından çok daha fazla subay vardı, bu yüzden birçok partiye davet edildim. Partilerde şarkı söyledim ve çok fazla ipucu aldım. Bir çift yüksek topuklu ayakkabı, yeşil bir ceket giydim ve timsah derisinden bir çanta taşıdım. Modaya uygun bir elbiseyle dolaştım. Kasabadaki hiç kimse benim rahat bir kadın olduğumu tahmin edemezdi. Çok mutlu ve gururlu hissettim. Eve dönmek için izin aldım ama Kore'ye dönmek istemedim. Rangoon'da kalmak istedim."

  140. A Taiwanese eye witness commenting about the time when Taiwan was under the rule of Japan. "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a criminal. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

  146. The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abd*ucted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council.

  147. Один из наиболее часто повторяющихся и искаженных мифов, касающихся предполагаемых преступлений Японии против Кореи, касается так называемых "женщин для утех". Наконец, о заявлениях о том, что Германия должным образом "искупила" свои преступления, в то время как Япония этого не сделала. Позвольте мне рассмотреть лишь один аспект. В 1965 году корейское правительство Пак Чхун Хи подписало договор с Японией, нормализующий отношения между двумя странами. В соответствии с этим договором Южная Корея получила очень большие суммы экономической помощи, грантов, займов и, что немаловажно, компенсации жертвам японского правления. (Японское правительство выплатило в качестве компенсации 3 раза больше госбюджета, но держало это в секрете 40 лет в Корее, чтобы разжечь ненависть к Японии, а корейское правительство продолжает пытаться скрыть правду. Хотя все индивидуальные иски были урегулированы в Японско-Южнокорейском договоре 1965 г., японское правительство все же несколько раз предлагало компенсацию корейским женщинам в качестве хорошего жеста. Однако, когда в 1995 г. Япония предложила компенсацию через Азиатский женский фонд (компенсация пришла с личным письмом с извинениями премьер-министра Японии), южнокорейская неправительственная организация пригрозила бывшим утешительным женщинам не принять извинения Японии и компенсацию. 61 из тех, кто не подчинился приказу этой НПО, были признаны предателями, их имена и адреса были опубликованы в газетах как проституток, и они были вынуждены жить всю оставшуюся жизнь в немилости. Правительство Южной Кореи подписало Японско-корейское соглашение по вопросу "женщин для утех" в 2015 году, и японское правительство выплатило 1 миллиард долларов в качестве компенсации бывшим корейским "женщинам для утех". Однако администрация корейской компании "Мун Чжэ Ин" отказалась от соглашения в 2018 году без какого-либо уведомления. Объявление о роспуске совершенно неприемлемо для Японии. Хотя правительство РК, в том числе и президент Мун Чжэ Ин, неоднократно публично заявляли, что оно "не откажется от соглашения" и "не будет просить о перезаключении переговоров с Японией"). - Японское правительство в то время (1965 г.) предложило выплатить компенсацию отдельным жертвам, но южнокорейское правительство отказалось от этого предложения и настояло на том, чтобы оно получило все деньги и само выплатило компенсацию своим гражданам. Очень мало этих денег (всего 250 долларов США) было выплачено частным лицам и вместо этого использовалось для экономического развития Южной Кореи. Японское правительство извинилось за свою систему "женщин для утех", которая фактически являлась продолжением системы лицензированной проституции, существовавшей как в Корее, так и в Японии до войны, и в которой было задействовано большое количество японских проституток, а также проституток из других стран. Германия никогда не извинялась и не выплачивала никаких компенсаций ни одной бывшей проститутке. На самом деле, никто никогда не требовал ничего подобного, поскольку эти женщины, которые справедливо или ошибочно считались коллаборационистками в оккупированных странах, никогда не находили себе сторонников или защитников. -Профессор Анджей Козловский, Варшавский Университет.

  148. Os testemunhos das ex-Comfort Women são inconsistentes, visto que foram treinados pela organização extremamente esquerdista "Conselho Coreano" ⚫︎Em uma entrevista com a professora Chunghee Sarah Soh, da San Francisco State University, uma ex-consoladora coreana Kim Sun-ok disse que foi vendida por seus pais quatro vezes. Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em uma entrevista com o professor Park da Sejong University na Coreia do Sul, uma ex-coreana Bae Chun-hee disse que odiava o pai que a vendeu. Ela disse que os homens que recrutaram mulheres coreanas e operaram estações de conforto eram “todos coreanos”, e que as mulheres coreanas que testemunharam perante o Relator Especial da ONU mentiram em nome do Conselho Coreano. ⚫︎Uma ex-consoladora coreana Mun Oku-chu disse em suas memórias: "Fui recrutado por um dono de estação de conforto coreano. Economizei uma quantia considerável de dinheiro com gorjetas, então abri uma conta poupança. Não podia acreditar que pudesse ter tanto dinheiro em minha conta. Um de meus amigos juntou muitos joias, por isso comprei um diamante. Costumava ver filmes japoneses e peças de Kabuki em que os jogadores vinham do Japão. Tornei-me uma mulher popular em Rangum. Havia muito mais oficiais em Rangum do que perto da linha de frente, por isso fui convidado para muitas festas. Cantei canções em festas e recebi muitas dicas. Coloquei um par de sapatos de salto alto, um casaco verde e carregava uma bolsa de couro de crocodilo. Eu andava com um vestido da moda. Ninguém na cidade Eu poderia imaginar que eu era uma mulher reconfortante. Eu me senti muito feliz e orgulhosa. Recebi permissão para voltar para casa, mas não queria voltar para a Coréia. Eu queria ficar em Rangoon. " De acordo com o professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul, Mun Oku-chu continuou a trabalhar como prostituta na Coréia após a guerra. Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em uma entrevista ao jornal coreano The Hankyoreh (o artcile foi publicado em 15 de maio de 1991), uma ex-consorte coreana Kim Hak-sun disse que foi vendida por sua mãe. Em 1993, Kim Hak-sun disse ao professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul: "Minha mãe me mandou treinar como Kiseng em Pyongyang e depois me vendeu". Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi abduzida pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em 1993, uma ex-consorte coreana Kim Gun-ja disse ao professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul: "Fui vendida por meu pai adotivo". Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. Kim Gun-ja também testemunhou perante o Comitê de Relações Exteriores dos Estados Unidos em 2007 e disse que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em 1993, uma ex-consoladora coreana Lee Yong-soo disse ao professor Ahn Byong Jik da Universidade de Seul: "Na época, eu estava mal vestido e miserável. No dia em que saí de casa com minha amiga Kim Pun-sun sem contar para minha mãe, Eu estava usando uma saia preta, uma camisa de algodão e tamancos de madeira nos pés. Você não sabe como fiquei feliz quando recebi um vestido vermelho e um par de sapatos de couro de um recrutador coreano. " Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi abduzida pelos militares japoneses. Lee Yong-soo também testemunhou perante o Comitê de Relações Exteriores da Câmara dos Estados Unidos em 2007. Ela foi informada de que tinha cinco minutos para falar. Ela ignorou a instrução e continuou por mais de uma hora fazendo uma performance de choro e gritos. Seu falso testemunho resultou na aprovação da Resolução 121 da Câmara dos Representantes dos Estados Unidos. Em 2017, Lee Yong-soo deu falsos testemunhos perante a Câmara Municipal de São Francisco, o que resultou na construção de uma estátua feminina de conforto naquela cidade. ⚫︎ De acordo com a professora Chunghee Sarah Soh, da San Francisco State University, uma ex-coreana Moon Pil-ki foi recrutada por um agente do dono de uma estação de conforto coreana e levada para a Manchúria com outras quatro mulheres. Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em 1993, uma ex-mulher coreana de conforto, Kil Won-ok, disse ao professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul: "Fui vendida por meus pais". Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ De acordo com várias testemunhas, o Conselho Coreano (grupo ativista pró-Norte) treinou mulheres para dizer "Eu fui sequestrada pelos militares japoneses." O professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul, diz: "Quando entrevistei ex-mulheres consoladoras no início da década de 1990, nenhuma delas tinha nada de ruim a dizer sobre os militares japoneses. Elas odiavam seus pais que as vendiam e os donos de consoles coreanos que as maltratavam. Mas depois que o Conselho Coreano os colocou em sua folha de pagamento, seus depoimentos mudaram completamente. " ⚫︎ Uma ex-coreana Sim Mi-ja que se recusou a estar na folha de pagamento do Conselho Coreano disse: "As mulheres coreanas, que testemunharam perante o Relator Especial da ONU, mentiram em nome do Conselho Coreano. Elas são vigaristas".

  149. Kim said she has never received an apology from Japan, which is a flat-out lie. The truth is that comfort women's organization “Korean council” embezzle donations, force comfort women to lie, obstruct reconciliation with Japan, so that they can continue the comfort women propaganda. Japan has apologized many times and paid huge amounts of atonement money to the Korean women, but the Korean government has not given it to the women. *Japan-South Korea Treaty of 1965 During treaty negotiations, the Japanese government asked the S Korean government to identify and separate individual claims from the treaty because the Japanese government wanted to make sure the survivors received compensation. The South Korean government declined and accepted the entire sum of 800 million dollars (over ten billion dollars in today's money) in place of its citizens and spent all of it on infrastructures. Therefore it is not reasonable for the South Korean government to keep asking for additional compensation from Japan. And their claim that they were forced into pros**tution is also a lie. A Korean professor interviewed the Korean women in 2003. After the interview professor commented: “I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean spi*es) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.”

  150. As academics, we are used to dealing with exagge:rations. We are not used to finding that the story is pure fiction. But that is the nature of the comfort-women-se*x-slave story. It’s been a bizarrely unending story. Elderly Korean women claim to have been forced at Japanese bayonet-point to work as sex slaves. The Japanese government replies that the Korean government waived claims like this by treaty in 1965. But it expresses sympathy anyway, and offers more money. Koreans still complain. The Japanese government apologizes again, offers more money, and the Korean government promises never to raise the question again. Then a new political party takes power, declares the Japanese apology insincere, and starts the process all over again. Expressing sympathy to elderly women who have had a rough life is fine. Paying money to an ally in order to rebuild a stable relationship is fine. But the claims about enslaved Korean comfort women are historically untrue. The Japanese army did not dragoon Korean women to work in its brothels. It did not use Korean women as s*ex slaves. The claims to the contrary are simply ー factually ー false. - Harvard university

  151. A Taiwanese eye witness commenting about the time when Taiwan was under the rule of Japan. "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a collaborator. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

  153. One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  158. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  159. A Taiwanese eye witness says "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a spy and accuse you of being a war criminal. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

  162. [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

  165. Have you watched Lee Yon-Soo’s video? Check my saved video Lee Yong-soo, the most famous comfort woman, filmed in 1992 is now found, in which she testified that she became Comfort Woman just because she followed a man who gave her a dress and shoes, NOT because she was tricked or abducted by force by Imperial Japanese Army. The footage filmed on Aug 15th, 1992 at KBS. That seems a little bit ironic that the announcer reconfirmed that she became Comfort Woman NOT because she was abd*ucted by force by Imperial Japanese Army, but she just followed a man by her own will.

  167. Truth about the Annexation of Korea after One Hundred Years ―Criticism over Japan’s Annexation of Korea Is Totally Ungrounded― By Ko Bunyu (Huang Wenxing) When it comes to this matter, both Japan and Korea eagerly bring up such terms as “invasion” and “colonial rule”. But these are not true. We should not be dazzled by the ingenious fabrication the Koreans have made with their marvelous talent to distort history and by opinions catering to such fabrication. The history claimed by the Koreans of these 36 years is utterly different from the actual one. I believe it is a major and proper task to ponder why such false history has come to be told as the truth on the occasion of the one-hundredth anniversary of the Japanese-Korean annexation. But arguing with Korean historians over this subject poses extreme difficulties. As I myself have often experienced, Korean scholars easily lose their tempers. When I tell them my views, they angrily argue back, hollering, “Look, you Taiwanese are sheer bar*barians. How dare you meddle in matters between Japan and Korea? That’s none of your business,” and then abruptly leave the room. If you read what Korean scholars write, you’ll find entire pages filled with self-assertions without a shred of objective argument. Contradictions abound in the same book. Particularly, figures are just a mess and make no sense at all. I must say that Koreans are utterly indifferent to statistics. What is most remarkable about Korean views of modern and contemporary history is that they attribute everything to bilateral conflicts—the perpetrators and the victims, or the exploiters and the exploited. This is not a historical view, but a political one. They assert that Korea was invaded by Japan, exploited under Imperial Japanese rule of 36 years and prevented from achieving national prosperity, and that therefore they rightly demand an apology and sincere self-reflection of Japan. However, apology and self-reflection should belong to the political arena, and not to history. Political matters should be dealt with among politicians. As long as historical facts are concerned, there is neither reflecting nor apologizing. Moreover, speaking of the exploiters and the exploited, it was not the Koreans but rather the Japanese people who were exploited. The Office of the Governor-General of Korea annually spent 18% to 20% of the tax money which Japanese nationals paid, investing it in establishing Korean infrastructure. While the Taiwanese achieved their own economic self-reliance in ten years, Koreans remained dependent on financial support from Japan for 36 years during the Governor-General’s administration. It is a vital fact that the Japanese were the exploited. The “36 years of Imperial Japan’s rule” is an ingenious invention of the Koreans who are experts at distorting history. Like the Korean-style dramas that are popular in Japan, it is another Korean “hit product”. The Korean dramas are now beginning to become a phenomenon of the past. Likewise, the Japanese people should be well aware that the theory of the “36 year-long Imperial Japanese rule” has by now become unfashionable.

  168. Interview with former Korean colonel who actually experienced the merged era ―확실히 세계사 지도를 보면 말씀하신 대로네요. 아프리카 등은 식민지시대가 끝나고도 빈곤으로부터 좀처럼 벗어날 수 없는 상태입니다. 그러면 식민지로부터 근대적인 경제발전을 수행한 곳은 어디인가요? 한국과 대만입니다. 모두 일본의 식민지였던 곳입니다. 그 외에도 홍콩과 싱가폴이 있지만, 여기는 영국의 소위 천령(天領)이었습니다. 인도는 영국의 식민지로서 대표적이지만, 인프라가 정비되어있지 않고, 좀처럼 경제발전이 되지 않았습니다. 지금 인도는 경제발전을 하고 있다고 하지만, 그레도 일인당 GDP는 890달러, 문자해독률은 64%에 불과합니다. 　――한국과 대만은 일본통치시대에 인프라가 정비되어 있었다고 말씀하시는 것인가요? 전쟁이 끝나기 전, 철도, 수도, 전기 등의 설비는 일본 국내와 큰 차가 없었어요. 이것은 다른 외국의 식민지 경영과 아주 다른 점입니다. 다른 외국은 식민지로부터는 일방적으로 착취만 할 뿐이었어요. 일본은 국내의 세금을 식민지의 인프라 정비에 투입한 것입니다. 그래서 주민의 생활수준에도 본토와 그다지 차이가 없었어요. 　――교육은 어떠하였나요. 저는 일본통치시대의 교육도 받았어요. 당시 일본 국내에서 행하여지고 있었던 학교교육과 차이가 없었습니다. 또 일본의 육군사관학교에는조선인의 입학을 인정하고 있었어요. 당시의 다른 외국에서는 자국의 육군사관학교에 식민지인의 입학을 인정하지는 않았어요. 즉 일본은 교육에 있어서도 차별을 하지 않았습니다. 당시의 다른 외국은 본국과 식민지를 명확히 차별하고 있었어요. 식민지란 착취의 대상으로서 경영하는 것이었고, 차별당하여도 당연했습니다. 일본은 차별을 하지 않도록 병합한 것이고, 소위 다른 외국의 식민지지배와는 완전히 달랐습니다. 　――다른 외국이야 말로 사죄하여야 하는데 일본만 사죄해야만 하는 것은 어떻게 된 까닭인가요 최근에 식민지다, 침략이다 말하고 있지만, 이것에는 중국의 전략이 그 배경에 있습니다. 중국의 전략은 일본을 재기불능하게 하고, 일본이 한국과 대만과 연대하는 것을 저지하는 것입니다. 　――그렇게 말씀하신다면, 일미동맹과 미한동맹은 있는데 한일동맹은 없습니다. 미군기지의 위치관계에서 보면 사실상 동맹국이라고 해도 좋을 정도로 접근하여 있는데 동맹조약은 맺어져 있지 않습니다. 한일동맹이야 말로 중국과 북한이 가장 두려워하고 있는 동맹입니다. 그러므로 이것을 억제하고 방해하기 위해서 중국은 전력을 기울이고 있습니다. 이에 대하여 일본은 대응을 잘못하고 있다고 말하지 않을 수 없어요. 　――일본이 사죄를 하지 않아서 양국의 간격은 메워지지 않는다 등의 말을 하는데. 무라야마 담화 이후에도 한일관계도 중일관계도 오히려 악화되었습니다. 일본인은 사과하면 한국과 중국, 북한이 용서하여 줄 것이다고 생각하고 있는 것같습니다만 큰 오산입니다. 처음부터 노림수는 다른 곳에 있기 때문에, 원래 용서할 마음은 없습니다. 중국의 대전략은 일미한의 연대와 제휴를 극력 저지하는 것입니다. 그레서 역사문제를 일부러 크게 보이게하여 나팔을 불어댑니다. 제가 공부한 바로는 그리 큰 문제는 아닙니다.예컨대 동경군사재판의 A급 전범은 일본의 국내법에서 사면되어 있습니다. 사면된 이상, 이미 전범이 아닙니다. 즉 일본에는 A급이던, B급이던 C급이던 이미 전범은 없는 것입니다. 그럼에도 불구하고 A급전범이 합사되어 있으니 야스쿠니신사에 가지 말라고 하는 것은 억지입니다. 강화라는 것은 과거와 선을 긋는 것입니다. 중일평화우호조약, 한일기본조약을 체결하는 것은 이것으로 과거의 문제를 청산하고 화해를 한다는 한다는 약속이고 과거를 다시 끄집어내는 것은 이상한 것입니다. 　――일본정부는 한국에 대한 보상 문제를 재검토하려고 하고 있는 것 같습니다. 일본과 한국에 대해서 말한다면, 과거의 모든 보상문제는 해결이 완료된 것입니다. 그러므로 재검토할 필요 따위는 없습니다. 그런데 일본인은 결백증이 있어서 상대방이 조금이라도 불만을 말하면 또 사과하고 돈을 낼까라는 이야기가 됩니다. 　――결백증이 오히려 적이 되고 있는 셈입니다. 일본인의 도리, 정의감은 대륙에서는 전혀 통용되지 않습니다. 　――구체적으로는 어떤 것인가요 일본인이 지니고 있는 윤리, 정의, 도덕, 준법정신 등은 인류 보편의 가치이고 아주 우수한 것입니다. 일본 국내에서는 이것들의 가치는 존중되어 잘 지켜지고 있습니다. 그런데 일본을 한 발짝이라도 밖으로 나가면 도둑놈, 사기꾼들로 가득차 있습니다. 이러한 점을 일본인들은 알아차리지 못하고 있어요. 　――한국에서는 어떤가요 조선반도는 아직도 남북으로 분단되어 있습니다. 즉 아직도 전쟁상태입니다. 그래서 북한은 계속하여 한국에 대하여 정치공작을 합니다. 그런 상태를 일본의 정부는 얼마 만큼 이해하고 있는가요? 그것을 이해하지 못하고 단지 일본이 고개를 숙여도 일본과 한국은 결코 사이가 좋아질 수 없어요. 일본이 고개를 숙이면 일본의 체면이 완전히 구겨집니다. 대륙과 반도에서는 체면은 아주 중요한 것이고 이것을 잃으면 계속해서 모욕을 당합니다. 　――일본에서는 체면이라는 말은 이미 사어가 되었네요. 일본에서는 고개를 숙이면 겸허한 사람이라고 존경을 받지만, 대륙과 반도에서는 계속하여 당합니다. 결국 일본인은 내심, 한국인을 싫어하게 될 것입니다. 오히려 서로의 신뢰를 잃는 결과가 됩니다. 　――그렇게 말씀하신다면 최근의 일이지만, 이런 이야기를 들었습니다. 어떤 일본인 여성사원인데, 한국 회사와의 계약을 하는데 성공하였습니다. 그것은 좋았지만, 상담이 성립되자 마자. 한국인 남성사원이 “일본은 과거의 문제에 대하여 사죄하라. 괘씸하다.”고 떠벌였다고 합니다. 상대는 중요한 손님이므로 반박할 수는 없어서, 가만히 듣는 수 밖에 없었지만, 내심 한국을 아주 싫어하게 되었다고 합니다. 이러한 것을 연배가 있는 일본인 남성에게 이야기하자 “그러니 한국과는 사귀지 않는 편이 좋다.”고 들었다고 합니다. 그것이야 말로 실로 중국이 의도하는 바입니다. 중국의 전략의 노림수는 거기에 있기 때문입니다.

  171. Don’t be fooled by communists propaganda The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abd*ucted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council. They are swi*ndlers"

  172. If Koreans thoght the Japanese comfort women system was so bad, why did the Korean Government set up a similar 'comfort women' system for US/UN soldiers after the Japanese left Korea? Between the end of the Korean War and the early 1990s, more than one and half million SK women were caught up in a state-controlled pros**tution (comfort women) industry that was blessed at the highest levels by the U.S. military.

  173. Dutch government officially announced that “Dutch government regards the Comfort women system primarily as pros**tution.” 1994 — The Bart von Poelgeest Report “The study by Dr. Poelgeest, then an officer of the Ministry of Interior of the Netherlands, was commissioned by the Dutch government in 1993. It is a comprehensive report on the recruitment, voluntary, of European women for pros**tution in the Dutch East Indies during the Japanese occupation in World War II. It also briefly touches upon recruitment of local women although that is not the focus of the study. There was nothing in the report to indicate a policy or practice of mass abd*uction of women, European or locals, as comfort women.” “During the war in China in the 1930s, the occurrence of venereal disease among the troops had led to problems with deployment and the Japanese military forces therefore decided to set up military brothels as a preventive measure. In addition to local women, Japanese and Korean women – Korea being part of the Japanese Empire – were recruited for the brothels in China.” “There’s no mass abdu*ction” ‪”Korean couple had lured European women to the establishment under false pretences.” “In practice, it was the local military commanders who had to draw up regulations on the establishment of military brothels in their territory. The chief of staff of the 16th army on Java and thus head of the military administration there decided that a license was required for the establishment of a military brothel. A license was issued only if certain conditions were met, relating to, for example, regular medical check-ups and payment. A further precondition was that the women working in the brothels had to do so voluntarily; according to the regulations, a license would only be issued if the women involved signed a statement to the effect that they were providing their service voluntarily.”

  175. Google “Futsukaichi Rest Home” Japanese government apologized and paid huge amounts of compensation to the former wartime pros**tutes but Korean government never has apologized to the Japanese victims. “During the facility's one-and-a-half year working period, the medical team carried out an estimated 400–500 abo*rtions. Because of the shortage of medication, patients sometimes had to accept operations without anesthesia that was potentially lethal( Some of the Japanese victims were died during operation) “

  176. "Japonya'nın Kore'ye karşı işlediği iddia edilen suçlarla ilgili en sık tekrarlanan ve en çarpık efsanelerden biri, sözde “konfor kadınları" ile ilgilidir” Almanya Japonya doğru olmasa da “suçlarını telafi” olduğunu sonunda hakkındaki iddialar. Sadece bir yönü düşünmeme izin verin. 1965'te Kore hükümeti Park Chung-hee, iki ülke arasındaki ilişkileri normalleştiren Japonya ile bir anlaşma imzaladı. Antlaşma uyarınca Güney Kore, Japon egemenliğinin kurbanları için çok büyük miktarda ekonomik yardım, hibe, kredi ve önemli ölçüde tazminat aldı. (Japon hükümeti ulusal bütçenin 2,5 katını tazminat olarak ödedi, ancak Kore'de 40 yıl boyunca Japonya'ya karşı nefreti kışkırtmak için gizli tuttu ve Kore hükümeti gerçeği gizlemeye devam ediyor. Tüm bireysel iddialar 1965 Japonya-Güney Kore Antlaşması'nda çözülmesine rağmen, Japon hükümeti Koreli kadınlara birkaç kez iyi bir jest olarak tazminat teklif etti. Bununla birlikte, Japonya 1995 yılında Asya kadın Fonu aracılığıyla tazminat teklif ettiğinde(tazminat, Japonya Başbakanı'ndan kişisel bir özür mektubu ile geldi), Güney Koreli STK, eski konfor kadınlarını Japonya'nın özürünü ve tazminatını kabul etmemekle tehdit etti. STK'NIN emrine meydan okuyanların 61'i hain olarak doğrulandı, isimleri ve adresleri gazetelerde fahişe olarak yayınlandı ve hayatlarının geri kalanını utanç içinde yaşamak zorunda kaldılar. Güney Kore hükümeti, 2015 yılında konfor kadınları konusunda Japonya-Kore anlaşması imzaladı ve Japon hükümeti eski Koreli konfor kadınlarına kefaret parası olarak 1 milyar dolar ödedi. Ancak, Kore Moon Jae In yönetimi, 2018'de herhangi bir bildirimde bulunmaksızın anlaşmayı terk etti. Fesih duyurusu Japonya için tamamen kabul edilemez. Cumhurbaşkanı Moon Jae-in de dahil olmak üzere ROK Hükümeti, defalarca “anlaşmayı terk etmeyeceğini” ve “Japonya ile yeniden müzakere istemeyeceğini " belirtti”) - O sırada Japon hükümeti bireysel kurbanları telafi etmeyi teklif etti, ancak Güney Kore hükümeti teklifi reddetti ve tüm parayı alması ve vatandaşlarını telafi etmesi konusunda ısrar etti. Bu paranın çok azı (sadece 250 ABD doları) bireylere ödendi ve bunun yerine Güney Kore'nin ekonomik gelişimi için kullanıldı. Japon hükümeti, konfor kadın sistemi için özür diledi (aslında savaştan önce hem Kore hem de Japonya'da var olan ve çok sayıda Japon fahişenin yanı sıra diğer ülkelerden gelenleri de içeren lisanslı fuhuş sisteminin bir uzantısıydı), Almanya hiçbir zaman özür dilemedi veya eski fahişelere herhangi bir tazminat ödemedi. Aslında, hiç kimse böyle bir şey talep etmedi, çünkü işgal altındaki ülkelerde haklı ya da yanlış bir şekilde işbirlikçi olarak görülen bu kadınlar hiçbir zaman destekçi ya da savunucu bulamadılar” - Profesör Andrzej Kozlowski, Varşova Üniversitesi

  177. We in the West have embraced an odd "narrative." The Japanese army of the 1930s and 1940s, we write, forcibly drafted 200,000 mostly Korean teenage girls into "r:ape camps" called "comfort stations." Should anyone question the story, we summarily consign the person to "denier" status. This makes for a strange phenomenon. Only a few of the comfort women claim to have been forcibly recruited, and several of them had told a different story before the reparations campaign against Japan began. A strongly leftist affiliate runs their nursing home, controls whom they can see, and vilifies any woman who might say anything else. In fact, no one has ever located any documentary evidence that the Japanese military forcibly recruited any Korean woman into a comfort station. And when Korean academics question the orthodox account, their own government sometimes prosecutes them for criminal defamation -- indeed, sent one heterodox professor last fall to six months in prison

  178.

  179. Why Only Japanese have to drink the wastewater when almost of all countries dump it into the sea? 42 trillion becquerels from China’s Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant. 53 trillion becquerels from South Korea’s Wolseong Gori nuclear power plants. 130 billion becquerels from Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant The treated water contains some radio-active substances including Tritium, but the concentration is 40 times lower or less than the international safety standard. Japan’s Fukushima plans to release 2.2E+13Bq annually, which is one-tenth of China’s Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station’s six units. In addition, the reply from the National Nuclear Safety Administration of China has indeed been deleted and has become a state secret

  180. Donga Ilbo, one of Korea’s major daily newspapers, reported on December 2, 1932, that about a hundred women a month were sol:d for 40 to 50 wŏn to brot:hels in Osaka, Hokkaido, Sakhalin, and Taiwan; this report, in hindsight, seems to predict the large-scale mobi:lization of Korean women to serve the troops through the 1930s up to 1945. In fact, the Comfort women’s testimonials amply illustrate that during the war Korean men and women actively collab:orated in the recruitment of young compatriots to service the Japanese military and also ran comfort stations. For young, uneducated women from impoverished families in colonial Korea, to be a victim of traff//cking became “an ordinary misfortune” in the 1930s.46 Amid widespread com:plicity and indifference to young women’s plight, the adult entertainment business in Korea began to recover after the start of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937, and it flourished until early 1940.

  181. When the war effort intensified in the early 1940s, however, many adult entertainment establishments had to close down, and by 1943 it was practically impossible to run such a business. This encouraged some brothel owners to seek their fortune abroad, including in Taiwan and Southeast Asia. As Song Youn-ok noted, had there not been a “widespread network of traff//c in women used in the state-managed pros***ution system, the mob:ilization of Korean comfort women would have been a very different process.” Under grinding poverty, working-class families in Korea sold unmarried daughters for 400–500 wŏn for a contractual period of four to seven years. The parents received 60–70 percent of the money after various expenses involved in the transaction had been deducted, such as the mediator’s fee, clothing, document preparation, transport, and pocket money.

Dutch government officially announced that “Dutch government regards the Comfort system primarily as pros**tution.” -Dutch government 1994 “The issue of the army brothels was investigated by the American authorities. Declassified documents show that the conclusion was that in most cases they employed paid pros**tutes. Again, there was no sex slave conspiracy uncovered.” -Israel Friendship association

  183. The Japanese government at that time offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  184. In August 1999 police issued an arrest warrant for Kim Kyong Soo, president of the Korean Special Tourism Industry Association, on suspicion that he had brought more than 1,000 Filipina and Russian women into Korea to work as bar girls around U.S. military bases. A judge cancelled the warrant for lack of evidence and closed the case. Nevertheless, an American sergeant told Time magazine, in words chillingly similar to the Korean comfort women stories, that the Russian and Filipina women in the Dongducheon bars “are here because they’ve been tricked. They’re told they’re going to be bartending or waitressing, but once they get here, things are different.” In 2005 a former Filipina bar worker was awarded $5,000 from a South Korean nightclub owner who forced her to have se*x with U.S. soldiers for money, and a club owner was convicted of illegal brothel-keeping

  185. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

They were tried for overzealousness, for decisions and actions over and above the call of duty.

When she got lost and was wandering through the huge building where the meeting was taking place, she stumbled upon a room where people were gathering. Here, former comfort women who were testifying on a stage were being prompted and trained on how to deliver their lines. Unsurprisingly, the people who were stage-managing the whole operation were Japanese women (activists close tie with communists). In this manner, the former comfort women were being trained as living witnesses to serve the movement.

  194. A Taiwanese eye witness commenting about the time when Taiwan was under the rule of Japan. "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a war criminal. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

  196. Kim said she has never received an apology from Japan, which is a flat-out lie. The truth is that comfort women's organization “Korean council” embezzle donations, force comfort women to lie, obstruct reconciliation with Japan, so that they can continue the comfort women propaganda. Japan has apologized many times and paid huge amounts of atonement money to the Korean women, but the Korean government has not given it to the women. *Japan-South Korea Treaty of 1965 During treaty negotiations, the Japanese government asked the S Korean government to identify and separate individual claims from the treaty because the Japanese government wanted to make sure the survivors received compensation. The South Korean government declined and accepted the entire sum of 800 million dollars (over ten billion dollars in today's money) in place of its citizens and spent all of it on infrastructures. Therefore it is not reasonable for the South Korean government to keep asking for additional compensation from Japan. And their claim that they were forced into pros**tution is also a lie. A Korean professor interviewed the Korean women in 2003. After the interview professor commented: “I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean spi*es) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.”

Japan participated in the WW2 in 1939 -1945-1939=6 years In her speech, 9/18/2013 in France, She said that her human rights has been violated by IJA in “Korean war”. -There is no IJA during the Korean war. Her human rights has been likely violated by UN/US soldiers. 122 of Korean comfort women for the UN/US sued their government in 2014. While Korean comfort women who sued Japan were only 9 in 1991. It means the US had more sex slaves than Japan.

  200. As academics, we are used to dealing with exagge:rations. We are not used to finding that the story is pure fiction. But that is the nature of the comfort-women-se*x-slave story. It’s been a bizarrely unending story. Elderly Korean women claim to have been forced at Japanese bayonet-point to work as sex slaves. The Japanese government replies that the Korean government waived claims like this by treaty in 1965. But it expresses sympathy anyway, and offers more money. Koreans still complain. The Japanese government apologizes again, offers more money, and the Korean government promises never to raise the question again. Then a new political party takes power, declares the Japanese apology insincere, and starts the process all over again. Expressing sympathy to elderly women who have had a rough life is fine. Paying money to an ally in order to rebuild a stable relationship is fine. But the claims about enslaved Korean comfort women are historically untrue. The Japanese army did not dragoon Korean women to work in its brothels. It did not use Korean women as s*ex slaves. The claims to the contrary are simply ー factually ー false. - Harvard university

  201. Korean scholars say: “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  202. Kim said she has never received an apology from Japan, which is a flat-out lie. The truth is that comfort women's organization “Korean council” embezzle donations, force comfort women to lie, obstruct reconciliation with Japan, so that they can continue the comfort women propaganda. Japan has apologized many times and paid huge amounts of atonement money to the Korean women, but the Korean government has not given it to the women. *Japan-South Korea Treaty of 1965 During treaty negotiations, the Japanese government asked the S Korean government to identify and separate individual claims from the treaty because the Japanese government wanted to make sure the survivors received compensation. The South Korean government declined and accepted the entire sum of 800 million dollars (over ten billion dollars in today's money) in place of its citizens and spent all of it on infrastructures. Therefore it is not reasonable for the South Korean government to keep asking for additional compensation from Japan. And their claim that they were forced into pros**tution is also a lie. A Korean professor interviewed the Korean women in 2003. After the interview professor commented: “I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean spi*es) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.”

  203. Kim Bok-Dong testified that she worked as a comfort woman for 8 years until 1948 but WW2 ended in 1945. -IJA didn’t exist after WW2. Japan participated in the WW2 in 1939 -1945-1939=6 years In her speech, 9/18/2013 in France, She said that her human rights was violated by IJA in “Korean war”. -There is no IJA during the Korean war. Her human rights was likely violated by UN/US soldiers. 122 former Korean comfort women served for the UN/US soldiers sued their government in 2014. While Korean comfort women who sued Japan were only 9 in 1991. It means the US had more sex slaves than Japan.

  204. A Taiwanese eye witness commenting about the time when Taiwan was under the rule of Japan. "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a collaborator. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

  206. The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me."

You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women.

  207. One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

The truth is that comfort women's organization “Korean council” embezzle donations, force comfort women to lie, obstruct reconciliation with Japan, so that they can continue the comfort women propaganda. Japan has apologized many times and paid huge amounts of atonement money to the Korean women, but the Korean government has not given it to the women. *Japan-South Korea Treaty of 1965 During treaty negotiations, the Japanese government asked the S Korean government to identify and separate individual claims from the treaty because the Japanese government wanted to make sure the survivors received compensation.

  211. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen.

  214. When I asked the Korean comfort woman, “Why did you come here?”, She said, “One day, a broker (intermediary company) came, and tempted us saying, ‘Do you want to go and work? ______next door made a lot of money and built her own house. If you make money by comforting the soldiers, you can be very wealthy. If you work there for 3 years, you can have your own house. Don’t stay poor, but rather do something for your family. You can send money to your parents. It is that kind of place, so come and join us.’ I then made a pile of money. Next year, it will be 3 years that I have been living as a comfort woman, so I plan to go back to my hometown and build a big house."” She said that she “came on the introduction of a broker.’ Therefore, the idea that Japanese soldiers attacked them and forcibly took them away is a complete lie. They were happy to come. “The soldiers came to be comforted and when they left, said ‘I will remember this fondly. Thank you. We are going to the battlefield tomorrow and may not make it home. I don’t need this money, so you have it’. Many soldiers gave me money. It was more than our salaries.” - testimony by Taiwanese

  215. Korean authorities say “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  216. One of the most often rep:eated and most dist:orted myt:hs concerning Japan’s suppo:sed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995(Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

The truth is that comfort women's organization “Korean council” embezzle donations, force comfort women to lie, obstruct reconciliation with Japan, so that they can continue the comfort women propaganda. Japan has apologized many times and paid huge amounts of atonement money to the Korean women, but the Korean government has not given it to the women. *Japan-South Korea Treaty of 1965 During treaty negotiations, the Japanese government asked the S Korean government to identify and separate individual claims from the treaty because the Japanese government wanted to make sure the survivors received compensation. The South Korean government declined and accepted the entire sum of 800 million dollars (over ten billion dollars in today's money) in place of its citizens and spent all of it on infrastructures. Therefore it is not reasonable for the South Korean government to keep asking for additional compensation from Japan. And their claim that they were forced into pros**tution is also a lie. A Korean professor interviewed the Korean women in 2003. After the interview professor commented: “I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean spi*es) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.”

  229. [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon."

When President Park Chung-hee seized power through a military coup in 1961, he initiated a “social purification drive” that included a “pros**tution prevention law.” However, rather than eliminate pros**tution, Park instead created 104 special prostitution districts, being desperate to retain the cash that American soldiers would otherwise spend in Japan. Referred to as “Yankee Princesses” or “Western Princesses,” women who worked in these districts were lectured to by Korean university professors, who lauded them for helping to accrue “precious foreign currency for the nation’s economic development” and for performing “patriotic” work.

  236. K- soldiers were most brutal and abusive during Vietnam war and WW2 but they have never apologized nor compensated to the victims —— It was a large bunker system and we found hospitals. We came across four NVA nurses that were hiding out in one of the bunkers. They were nurses, we found medical supplies on them and they had black uniforms on. The ROK (Korean) Marines came up to us and one of their officers asked us if they could have the NVA nurses, that they would take care of them because we were sweeping through the area, and that we couldn't take care of any POWs. So, I imagine, that instead of ki_lling them, we handed them over to the ROK Marines. Well, we were still in the area when the ROK Marines started tying them down to the ground. They tied their hands to the ground, they spread-eagled them; they ra_ped all four. There was like maybe ten or twenty ROK Marines involved. They tor_tured them, they sli_ced off their bre_asts, they used mache_tes and cut off parts of their fin_gers and things like this. When that was over, they took pop-up flares (which are aluminum canisters you hit with your hand; it'll shoot maybe 100-200 feet in the air)--they stuck them up their vag_inas--all four of them--and they ble_w the top of their he_ads off.

  240. No country can conclude any international treaty and agreement with Korea! —- In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not.

  244. 【Asian Women's Fund】 Asian Women's Fund was established by the Japanese government in 1995. (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan) As for Korean women, although they were not coerced by the Japanese military and all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered Asian Women's Fund to Korean women as a good gesture. Ironically every nation involved except South Korea accepted compensation through Asian Women's Fund and reconciled with Japan. (Note: The South Korean government and Korean women wanted to accept Asian Women's Fund as well, but the anti-Japanese activist group Korean Council th*reatened Korean women not to accept Japan's apology and compensation so that it could continue its anti-Japanese propaganda campaign. So most Korean women could not accept Japan's apology and compensation.)

  245. The Japanese military sent notices to comfort station operators prohibiting them to recruit women against their will. The Japanese comfort station operators followed the order and only recruited willing women in Japan, but the Korean operators didn't follow the order and recruited both willing pros**tutes and unwilling women in Korea. If the Korean operators had followed the order, there wouldn't have been any comfort women issue. 1938 Mar 4 - Notice Concerning Comfort Women in China The following is a March 4, 1938 notice to Japanese military commanders in China concerning Comfort Women. Title: “Matters regarding recruitment at military comfort station” <Notification> From: Assistant To: Army Chief Generals of the troops in northern China and of the expeditionary force in central China When brokers recruited comfort women for establishment of brothels during Sino-Japanese war, there were more than a few infamous cases to which we need to pay attention: the case of some brokers using the authority of the Japanese military for their recruitment, as the result, they ruined the credibility of the Japanese military, which led to a misunderstanding of ordinary people, the case that some brokers used an unruly method of recruiting through embedded journalists and visitors, causing social problems, the case that some brokers were arrested and placed under investigation because their recruiting method was similar to kid*napping. From now, as regards the recruitment of comfort women, the expeditionary force must properly choose and control brokers who recruit comfort women. Also, it is necessary to cooperate with military police and law enforcement authorities. To keep the prestige of Japanese military and to consider social problems, take careful note without omission.

  246. - The Korean council One organization lies at the heart of much of the current dispute with Japan, and manipulates this fictive nationalist history to help drive the relentless opposition to reconciliation with Japan: the Korean Council. The Korean council organizes the weekly protests in front of the Japanese embassy in Seoul. It began the installation of the comfort women statutes around the world -- tellingly, statues not of the 20-year-old women who became the comfort women but of 15 year-old girls who did not. It pressured the former comfort women to reject the compensation offered by Japan. And it militantly polices scholars who would question the "sex-slave narrative" Korean Council largely controls the public testimony by the comfort women. It chooses those willing to back their sex-slave narrative, and intimidates the rest into silence. It maintains its ability to do this by collaborating in the operation of a nursing home for the most visible comfort women, the House of Nanumu. The women at Nanumu are the women most willing to testify. By helping to control Nanumu, the Korean Council controls who scholars and reporters will see and what the women will say. As political scientist Yi (2018) put it, the ”prevailing narrative of abductions is based on the oral testimonies of a small number of women (16 of 238 registered survivors in 1990s), "prevailing narrative of abductions is associated with activist organizations (e.g., House of Sharing [i.e., the nursing home]; Korean Council [i.e., CDH])" (Yi 2018). By sabotaging any reconciliation between South Korea and Japan, the Korean council directly promotes a key North Korean political goal -- and that seems to be the point. As Park explains it, Korean council" has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.” Initially organized by Korean communists, the group was at one time designated by the South Korean government as a North Korean affiliate. Its long-time senior representative -- Yun Mee-Hyang -- was herself investigated for North Korean ties in 2013. Other members of her family have for years been embroiled in controversy and litigation over whether they did or did not maintain ties to the north (with the courts concluding in 2018 that they did not). As its possible North-Korean affiliation might suggest, many comfort women deeply resent the Korean council. Back in 2004, several comfort women sued it to try to retake control over their movement (Moto 2018). The group remains in control, however, and has successfully intimidated most of the remaining women. Park Yu-Ha confesses herself puzzled that the group ever allowed her to interview the women: I regained my interest in [the comfort women] issue in the early 2000s when I heard that the Korean council was confining surviving women in a nursing home called House of Nanumu. The only time these women were allowed to talk to outsiders was when Korean council needed them to testify for the UN Special Rapporteur or the U.S. politicians. But for some reason I was allowed to talk to them one day in 2003. Even these Nanumu women were unhappy with the Korean council. Park continues: I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean Council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council 's order. Korean council made its thr:eats credible when Japan first offered the women compensation in 1995. Determined to sabotage the coming rapprochement, it ordered the women to refuse the payments. Some took the money anyway. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. Korean-American anthropologist Sarah Soh confirms their fears. Although some comfort women invented dramatic new stories to keep themselves in the news, "other South Korean survivors have firmly refused to be further interviewed after the initial investigation for the government certification process." They have, Soh explains, "kept their silence out of fear of making 'speech errors' that might lead to the cancellation of their registration and hence the cessation of their welfare support money."

One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed cri:mes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 2.5 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth.

  249. The Fabrication and Spread of the “Comfort Women = Sex Slaves” Theory The man who first proposed to the United Nations that the comfort women be referred to as “sex slaves” was the Japanese human rights lawyer Totsuka Etsuro 👇 http://www.sdh-fact.com/book-article/734/ “Totsuka brought up the term “sex slave” before the UN Commission on Human Rights, and before long UN bodies had accordingly defined the comfort women as being “sex slaves”. The idea that the comfort women were sex slaves did not arise from the findings of any empirical investigation, nor was it conceptualized on the basis of any facts. Totsuka said that the idea of adopting the term “sex slaves” simply popped into his mind one day. According to Fujiki, when Totsuka was asked about how he came up with the term “sex slaves”, he said, “I had a hunch! It was intuition!” He then continued as follows: “It’s amazing, isn’t it? I had been frequenting the United Nations for thirty-four years. During that time, I submitted over twenty motions to discuss instances of Japanese human rights violations and delivered statements on them here, but not one was taken up. And yet, in 1992, when I reframed the comfort women as being sex slaves, the UN commissioners were glued to my every word. So you see, it’s incredible, isn’t it?”

It only goes a quarter inch in air. Even ingestion of tritium doesn’t do anything unless it’s at very high concentrations that can only be maintained in the laboratory. The health risks of tritium-contaminated water are so low that all countries of the world have no idea what regulatory limits to put on it.”

  255. The US government, under the Clinton and Bush administrations, spent 7 years and 30 million dollars to look into Nazi and Japanese war crimes. After 7 years of research, they found no evidence of the forced prostitution of comfort women, the Nanjing Massacre. The IWG report was published in the spring of 2007. Out of millions of pages of newly declassified material, much of it related to Japan, and they were unable to find evidence of forced prostitution. They also looked for information about the Nanjing Massacre and unit 731, but found no smoking guns. Nobody doubts that there was a massacre in Nanjing, and nobody doubts the Chinese ability to exaggerate by orders of magnitude, and then to believe their own stories. A Chinese organization lobbied for the IWG investigation. The “Global Alliance for Preserving the History of WWII in Asia” (Global Alliance). It should be noted that Global Alliance was closely associated with Iris Chang, author of “The Rape of Nanking”. Surprisingly, the IWG report offers an apology to Global Alliance for not finding anything

  257. ⑤ 5) 배족간: 이 위안부는 1922년생이다. 이 여인은 자//살까지도 기도했을 정도로 어머니로부터 모진 학/대를 받았다. 광목공장에서 일하게 해주겠다는 동네 구장의 거짓말에 속아 집을 나간 것이 곧 중국행이 되었다. 중국의 여러 위안소들을 떠돌았다. 1946년 집으로 돌아왔지만 어머니는 냉담했다. 어머니가 임종할 때 딸을 찾았지만 그녀는 가지 않았다. ​ 6) 송신도: 이 위안부는 1922년 생으로 어머니로부터 모진 학/대를 받았다. 16세 때부터 먹고 살기 위해 수많은 잡직들을 전전하다가 좋은 직장 구해주겠다는 이웃의 꼬임에 빠져 중국으로 갔다가 1938년부터 1945년까지 위안부 생활을 했다. ⑥ 정치목적을 위해 위안부 악용하는 정/대/협 ​ 이 6개의 사례들은 극히 일부의 것에 지나지 않지만 당시의 조선의 사회상을 잘 비추어준다. 이들을 비극적인 나락으로 내 몬 것은 일본 순사가 아니라 그녀들을 낳아준 아버지와 어머니와 오빠들이었다, 당시 사회는 개화의 바람을 타고 있었다. 어린 처녀들은 바깥 세상에 대한 동경과 가정에서의 폭력 사이에서 탈출을 선택했고, 그 탈출은 곧장 인/신/매/매단으로의 진입을 의미했다. ​ 이런 사정들을 놓고, “당시 조선 여인들은 모두 가정에 있었으며, 일본순사들이 가정으로 쳐들어 와서 처녀들을 강제로 끌어갔다. 사과를 하고 보상을 하라” 이렇게 소리치고 있는 것이다. ​ 위 6개의 케이스는 모두 정/대/협이 작성한 증언록에 있는 내용들이다. 모든 사정들을 잘 알고 있으면서도 정/대/협은 위안부들을 정치적 목적으로 거리에 내돌린다. 문필기는 매주 수요일마다 대사관 앞에서 "내 청춘을 보상하라"고 시위를 하지만 정/대/협이 엮은 '증언록'에 의하면 그녀는 일본에 요구할 것이 하나도 없다. 해방전후사의 재인식 제1권 2부는 ‘식민지 하의 여성의 삶’이라는 주제를 다루고 있다. 여기에는 일본의 오사카산업대학 후지나가다케시 교수, 미 시카고대학 최경희 교수, 샌프란시스코주립대학의 소정희교수의 글이 방대한 분량의 논문으로 실려 있다. ​ 이 세 편의 논문을 보면 우리 정/대/협의 주장들이 얼마나 허황된 것들인가를 낱낱이알 수 있다. 아울러 논문이 인용한 근거자료들을 보면 일본인들의 조사가 매우 많은 반면 한국인들의 조사가 매우 빈약하다. 국내학자들은 이 분야에 대해 연구하지 않았고, 정/대/협은 객관성이 결여된 감정적 주장을 해왔다. 때문에 이 분야를 연구하는 수많은 국제 학자들에게 망신스러운 결과만 초래했다는 것이 이들 자료에 시사돼 있다. ⑦ 상해에는 개인적인 돈벌이를 위해 일본인 매//춘여성(가라유키상)이 해외로 나간 가장 전형적인 케이스다. 상해 주재 일본영사관은 1880년대부터 가라유키상에 대한 단속에 나섰다. 이는 공창제도의 도입을 의미했다. 공창제도의 설치 동기는 1)강간방지, 2)군의 사기앙양 3)성병 예방 4)방첩이었다. ​ 상해 파견군 참모부장 오카무라 야스지는 이렇게 회상했다. “위안부 문제를 생각한다. . .이렇게 말하는 나는 부끄럽지만 위안부 안의 창설자다. 쇼와7년(1932)의 상하이 사변 때 두 세 건의 강간죄가 발생했으므로 파견군 참모부장이었던 나는 그곳 해군을 본떠 나가시키 현지사에게 요청하여 위안부단을 불러들였다. 그 후 강//간//죄가 완전히 그쳤기 때문에 기뻤다” ​ 1932년 당시 상해의 일본인의 풍속영업 현황은 다음과 같다. 요릿집 3개소, 음식점 72, 다방 13, 해군위안소 17, 구락부 2, 무도장 1, 예기 134, 무도녀 170, 작부 166. ⑧ 결 론 매/춘의 역사는 어느 시대 어느 나라에서나 다 어두운 역사로 연속돼 왔다. 우리나라에서도 1961년 5.16 혁명 이전까지 매/춘은 불법으로 통제됐었다. 그래서 매/춘은 은밀히 가정으로 스며들었고, 성//폭//행//과 살//인 등의 나쁜 형태로 확산돼 갔다. 이에 박정희의 최고회의는 공창제를 채택했다. 가정으로 파고들던 성범죄와 성병 등이 매우 효과적으로 개선됐다. 위 논물 일부를 보면 당시 일본도 도덕과 품위와 성적 수요를 놓고 많은 생각들을 했던 것으로 짐작되며 당시 그들의 고민도 지금 현재에도 우리가 풀지 못한 채 끌어안고 있는 고민과 일치한 것으로 생각된다. ​ 지금의 우리 사회를 보자. 한국사회는 아마도 세계에서 상위권에 속하는 성◯◯기 ◯◯란 공화국이다. — 이런 식으로 몇 년을 더 낭비하면 우리는 북/한에 먹히고 말 것이다. 만일 지금 북한에 먹히면 우리의 여성 국민들은 70여 년 전에 일본인들로부터 당한 고통과는 비교조차 할 수 없는 비참한 취급을 받다가 생명마저 잃게 될 것이다. ​ 옛날의 선조들이 못나서 강대국에 먹힌 것은 사실이다. 만일 일본에 먹히지 않고 중국이나 러시아에 먹혔다면 러시아의 위안부 처지나 중국의 위안부 처지는 일본의 위안부 처지보다 더 양호했을까? 나는 절대 아니라고 생각한다. 그렇다면 위안부 문제로 일본을 원망하기보다는 못난 짓을 하다가 나라를 빼앗겼던 우리 선조를 원망해야 할 것이다. ​ 더구나 소정희 교수가 지적한 바와 같이 대부분의 위안부는 무지몽매한 한국의 아버지와 오빠들의 학//대가 낳은 산물이었다 할 것이다. 이런 성격의 문제를 가지고 침소봉대하고 왜곡하여 위안부 문제를 한-미-일 안보협력 체제를 깨기 위해 악용되고 있는 것은 하루라도 빨리 정지돼야 한다. 더구나 정/대/협 지휘부는 북한과 간//첩//에 깊이 연루돼 있는 사람들이 장악하고 있지 아니한가. 당장 매주 수요일마다 일본대사관 앞에서 벌이는 수요집회부터 중단시켜야 할 것이다. 창피해 못 살겠다.

  259. 【Who are the Lai Dai Han?】 The “Lai Dai Han” are the tens of thousands of children of Vietnamese women ra*ped by South Korean soldiers during the Vietnam War. Between 1964 and 1973, some 320,000 South Korean soldiers were deployed to Vietnam to fight alongside the United States. Some of the women that were ra*ped or experienced sex*ual violence were as young as 【12 or 13 】at the time, and more than 800 victims are still alive. Today, as a result of the ra*pe and sexual violence that took place, tens of thousands of young adults of mixed Vietnamese-Korean heritage live in the shadows of Vietnamese society. Many of the Lai Dai Han and their families live in severe poverty, cannot read or write and do not have access to social services, such as healthcare and education. The Government of South Korea has never recognised the se*xual violence that took place and has never apologised for the crimes of its soldiers.

  261. 일한병합담화】일본의 사죄 필요없다. 한국 보수파의 탄식과 분개   전 한국 공군대령 최삼연씨 일한병합 100년에 즈음하여 한 간나오토 수상의 담화에 대하여, 일본통치시대를 아는 전 한국 공군대령 최삼연씨(81세)가 인터뷰에 응하여, “이것은 일본의 수상으로서는 실격이다. 오히려 서로의 신뢰를 잃는 결과가 된다.”고 위구의 마음을 표명하였다. 주요한 대화는 다음과 같다. 　―― 8월10일에 간 수상이 일한병합 100년에 즈음하여 담화를 발표하였습니다. 이에 대한 생각은 이것은 일본의 수상으로서는 실격입니다. 일본인으로서의 입장을 고려하지 않은 것입니다. 병합으로부터 100년, 전후 65년을 지났는데, 지금에 와서 어떤 입장으로 저런 것을 이야기하고 있는지, 전혀 모르겠습니다. 지금 이런 것은 일본의 종말이지요. 　――내용적으로는 1995년의 무라야마 토이치 수상 담화의 반복이라고도 하는데 아니지요. 더 무시무시합니다. 무라야마 담화는 단순한 사죄이고. 거기에서부터 공생을 목표로 하는 것이라고도 말할 수 있어요. 간나오토 수상의 담화는, 그 다음에 나올 것은 한일기본조약의 무효입니다. 원래 식민지라는 것은 15세기부터 시작되었습니다. 근현대사라는 것은 인류에 있어서 식민지시대라고도 할 수 있어요. 세계는 가는 곳 마다 식민지 투성이었어요. 　――확실히 세계사 지도를 보면 말씀하신 대로네요. 아프리카 등은 식민지시대가 끝나고도 빈곤으로부터 좀처럼 벗어날 수 없는 상태입니다. 그러면 식민지로부터 근대적인 경제발전을 수행한 곳은 어디인가요? 한국과 대만입니다. 모두 일본의 식민지였던 곳입니다. 그 외에도 홍콩과 싱가폴이 있지만, 여기는 영국의 소위 천령(天領)이었습니다. 인도는 영국의 식민지로서 대표적이지만, 인프라가 정비되어있지 않고, 좀처럼 경제발전이 되지 않았습니다. 지금 인도는 경제발전을 하고 있다고 하지만, 그레도 일인당 GDP는 890달러, 문자해독률은 64%에 불과합니다. 　――한국과 대만은 일본통치시대에 인프라가 정비되어 있었다고 말씀하시는 것인가요? 전쟁이 끝나기 전, 철도, 수도, 전기 등의 설비는 일본 국내와 큰 차가 없었어요. 이것은 다른 외국의 식민지 경영과 아주 다른 점입니다. 다른 외국은 식민지로부터는 일방적으로 착취만 할 뿐이었어요. 일본은 국내의 세금을 식민지의 인프라 정비에 투입한 것입니다. 그래서 주민의 생활수준에도 본토와 그다지 차이가 없었어요. 　――교육은 어떠하였나요. 저는 일본통치시대의 교육도 받았어요. 당시 일본 국내에서 행하여지고 있었던 학교교육과 차이가 없었습니다. 또 일본의 육군사관학교에는조선인의 입학을 인정하고 있었어요. 당시의 다른 외국에서는 자국의 육군사관학교에 식민지인의 입학을 인정하지는 않았어요. 즉 일본은 교육에 있어서도 차별을 하지 않았습니다. 당시의 다른 외국은 본국과 식민지를 명확히 차별하고 있었어요. 식민지란 착취의 대상으로서 경영하는 것이었고, 차별당하여도 당연했습니다. 일본은 차별을 하지 않도록 병합한 것이고, 소위 다른 외국의 식민지지배와는 완전히 달랐습니다. 　――다른 외국이야 말로 사죄하여야 하는데 일본만 사죄해야만 하는 것은 어떻게 된 까닭인가요 최근에 식민지다, 침략이다 말하고 있지만, 이것에는 중국의 전략이 그 배경에 있습니다. 중국의 전략은 일본을 재기불능하게 하고, 일본이 한국과 대만과 연대하는 것을 저지하는 것입니다. 　――그렇게 말씀하신다면, 일미동맹과 미한동맹은 있는데 한일동맹은 없습니다. 미군기지의 위치관계에서 보면 사실상 동맹국이라고 해도 좋을 정도로 접근하여 있는데 동맹조약은 맺어져 있지 않습니다. 한일동맹이야 말로 중국과 북한이 가장 두려워하고 있는 동맹입니다. 그러므로 이것을 억제하고 방해하기 위해서 중국은 전력을 기울이고 있습니다. 이에 대하여 일본은 대응을 잘못하고 있다고 말하지 않을 수 없어요. 　――일본이 사죄를 하지 않아서 양국의 간격은 메워지지 않는다 등의 말을 하는데. 무라야마 담화 이후에도 한일관계도 중일관계도 오히려 악화되었습니다. 일본인은 사과하면 한국과 중국, 북한이 용서하여 줄 것이다고 생각하고 있는 것같습니다만 큰 오산입니다. 처음부터 노림수는 다른 곳에 있기 때문에, 원래 용서할 마음은 없습니다. 중국의 대전략은 일미한의 연대와 제휴를 극력 저지하는 것입니다. 그레서 역사문제를 일부러 크게 보이게하여 나팔을 불어댑니다. 제가 공부한 바로는 그리 큰 문제는 아닙니다.예컨대 동경군사재판의 A급 전범은 일본의 국내법에서 사면되어 있습니다. 사면된 이상, 이미 전범이 아닙니다. 즉 일본에는 A급이던, B급이던 C급이던 이미 전범은 없는 것입니다. 그럼에도 불구하고 A급전범이 합사되어 있으니 야스쿠니신사에 가지 말라고 하는 것은 억지입니다. 강화라는 것은 과거와 선을 긋는 것입니다. 중일평화우호조약, 한일기본조약을 체결하는 것은 이것으로 과거의 문제를 청산하고 화해를 한다는 한다는 약속이고 과거를 다시 끄집어내는 것은 이상한 것입니다. 　――일본정부는 한국에 대한 보상 문제를 재검토하려고 하고 있는 것 같습니다. 일본과 한국에 대해서 말한다면, 과거의 모든 보상문제는 해결이 완료된 것입니다. 그러므로 재검토할 필요 따위는 없습니다. 그런데 일본인은 결백증이 있어서 상대방이 조금이라도 불만을 말하면 또 사과하고 돈을 낼까라는 이야기가 됩니다. 　――결백증이 오히려 적이 되고 있는 셈입니다. 일본인의 도리, 정의감은 대륙에서는 전혀 통용되지 않습니다. 　――구체적으로는 어떤 것인가요 일본인이 지니고 있는 윤리, 정의, 도덕, 준법정신 등은 인류 보편의 가치이고 아주 우수한 것입니다. 일본 국내에서는 이것들의 가치는 존중되어 잘 지켜지고 있습니다. 그런데 일본을 한 발짝이라도 밖으로 나가면 도둑놈, 사기꾼들로 가득차 있습니다. 이러한 점을 일본인들은 알아차리지 못하고 있어요. 　――한국에서는 어떤가요 조선반도는 아직도 남북으로 분단되어 있습니다. 즉 아직도 전쟁상태입니다. 그래서 북한은 계속하여 한국에 대하여 정치공작을 합니다. 그런 상태를 일본의 정부는 얼마 만큼 이해하고 있는가요? 그것을 이해하지 못하고 단지 일본이 고개를 숙여도 일본과 한국은 결코 사이가 좋아질 수 없어요. 일본이 고개를 숙이면 일본의 체면이 완전히 구겨집니다. 대륙과 반도에서는 체면은 아주 중요한 것이고 이것을 잃으면 계속해서 모욕을 당합니다. 　――일본에서는 체면이라는 말은 이미 사어가 되었네요. 일본에서는 고개를 숙이면 겸허한 사람이라고 존경을 받지만, 대륙과 반도에서는 계속하여 당합니다. 결국 일본인은 내심, 한국인을 싫어하게 될 것입니다. 오히려 서로의 신뢰를 잃는 결과가 됩니다. 　――그렇게 말씀하신다면 최근의 일이지만, 이런 이야기를 들었습니다. 어떤 일본인 여성사원인데, 한국 회사와의 계약을 하는데 성공하였습니다. 그것은 좋았지만, 상담이 성립되자 마자. 한국인 남성사원이 “일본은 과거의 문제에 대하여 사죄하라. 괘씸하다.”고 떠벌였다고 합니다. 상대는 중요한 손님이므로 반박할 수는 없어서, 가만히 듣는 수 밖에 없었지만, 내심 한국을 아주 싫어하게 되었다고 합니다. 이러한 것을 연배가 있는 일본인 남성에게 이야기하자 “그러니 한국과는 사귀지 않는 편이 좋다.”고 들었다고 합니다. 그것이야 말로 실로 중국이 의도하는 바입니다. 중국의 전략의 노림수는 거기에 있기 때문입니다.

  262. 2/2 　――일본은 무턱대고 고개를 숙여서는 아니 되네요. 세계적으로 보면 식민지지배를 받은 측에서는 원한과 증오가 있지만, 역으로 종주국에 존경의 마음을 품는 경우도 있습니다. 인도인이 영국문화에 존경의 마음을 품기도 합니다. 대만과 한국에서도 “그 시대는 열쇠를 잠그지도 않고 잠을 잘수 있었다.”고 하는 연배가 있는 사람들이 많이 있습니다. 그러나 젊은 세대는 그런 시대를 모르기 때문에, 증오의 감정만이 앞서 버립니다. 즉, 일본이 사과하면 이런 일본과 한국의 근저에 있는 오랜된 좋은 추억이 사라져, 증오만이 남는 것입니다. 일본도 미국에 원폭을 투하당하여. 점령당하여 미국에 대한 증오의 감정은 있을 것입니다. 그러나 그런 과거의 원한만을 말하고 있으면 어떻게 되겠나요? 일미관계는 악화될 것입니다. 　――그렇게 말씀하시니, 최근 미국에 원폭투하의 사과를 요구하는 움직임이 있네요 중국은 어쨌든 일본을 고립시키려고 야단입니다. 그러한 방식은 결국 중국을 위해서도 도움이 되지 않는다고 생각하지만, 중국은 외국을 억지하는 것만을 생각하고 있고 자국을 개혁하려고는 하지 않아요 　――중국국내에도 문제가 산적한데, 그 인식 조차 위험한 느낌이네요 북한 문제에서도 그 뒤에 있는 것은 중국입니다. 중국은 6개국협의의 의장국이지만, 이 협의에서 어떤 성과가 있었나요? 북한에 핵미사일을 개발하는 시간과 지원을 주었을 뿐입니다. 그레서 북한이 한국의 초계함을 침몰시켜 40인 이상의 한국인이 희생되었는데, 중국의 반대로 국제연합에서 제재도 과할 수 없었습니다. 이러한 방식으로 임한다면 결국 어느 나라도 중국을 신용하지 않게 됩니다. 이러한 방식은 오히려 중국의 발목을 잡게되지만 그것을 중국은 이해하지 못해요. 　――그렇게 말씀하시니, 미국의 중국에 대한 대응도 변해온 것같이 느낍니다. 남중국해에서 베트남과 합동군사훈련을 하고 이번에는 황해에서 한국과 합동군사훈련을 한다고 하고 있습니다. 중국은 반발하고 있네요. 바로 최근까지는 중국을 배려하였던 미국이었는데. 지금에 와서는 모습이 변한 것입니다. 한국에서도 실제로는 중국의 위협을 오싹하게 느끼고 있어요 　――북한과 중국의 관계는 어떻게 될 것인가요. 지금 북한을 지배하고 있는 무리들은 요컨대 중국의 마적 비적입니다. 　――그렇습니까? 김정일의 아버지 김일성은 전쟁이 끝나기 전에는 만주인으로 상장하였습니다. 본명은 김성주, 조선어보다는 중국어가 유창하였고 비적으로서 활개치고 다녔습니다. 1945년에 조선 북부를 점령한 소련에 의하여, 이미 항일의 영웅으로서 전설이 되어있었던 김일성 장군으로 만들어던 것입니다. 즉 가짜 김일성입니다. 진짜 김일성 장군은 저희들이 소년시절에 조선 북부에서 소문을 들은 인물이지만 당시 33세의 애송이였던 김성주일리가 없어요. 진짜 김일성은 일본의 육군사관학교를 21기로 졸업하여 나중에 독립운동으로 돌아선 김광서라고 해요. 　――구 소련이 항일영웅전설을 이용한 셈이네요. 중국에 있던 양아치같은 것들이 지금의 북한을 지배하고 있는 것입니다. 그래서 제대로 된 정치가 될 리가 없고, 경제는 엉망입니다. 그런데 한국의 지금의 젊은이 중에는 북한에 속아서 올바른 정권이라고 믿고 있는 자들이 적지 않아요. 한탄스러울 뿐입니다. 　――친북파네요. 그렇습니다. 여론의 동향에 따라서는 친북파가 주도권을 쥐고 북한 중심의 남북통일도 가능한 정세입니다. 혹시 그렇데 된다면 큰일입니다. 이것을 저지하기 위해서는 한국과 일본은 연대와 제휴를 강화해야한다고 생각합니다. 　――오늘은 고마웠습니다. 〈최씨의 프로필〉 최삼연 1928년 조선반도 북부의 함흥 출생. 종전 후 한국 공군에 입대. 한국전쟁에서 싸웠다. 대학에서는 영문학, 대학원에서는 행정학을 전공. 군의 요직을 역임하고 1971년 공군대령으로 퇴역. 그 후 오디오 부품 제조사의 경영 기획에 참가. 공업상품의 품질관리기관 임원, 윤활유공업협회 부회장을 역임하여, 세계 각국의 경제, 정치 상황을 시찰하여 한국공업의 기반 확립을 위하여 진력하였다. 현재 한일 양국을 위시한 폭넓은 세계적 인재교류에 힘쓰고 있다. 출처 : 【일한병합담화】일본의 사죄 필요없다. 한국 보수파의 탄식과 분개

  263. [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

Check my saved video Lee Yong-soo, the most famous comfort woman, filmed in 1992 is now found, in which she testified that she became Comfort Woman just because she followed a man who gave her a dress and shoes, NOT because she was tricked or abd*ucted by force by Imperial Japanese Army.

  266. “Perhaps most disconcertingly, students typically have little, if any, awareness of South Korea’s state-sponsored se*xual labor before and after Japanese annexation. During the Koryo(918 to 1392 CE) and Joseon (1392-1910 CE) dynasties, Korea sent tens of thousands of “tribute women” (kongnyo) to China. Since 1945, an estimated one-quarter to one-half million “comfort women” have serviced American soldiers, with the knowledge and, during the 1970s, encouragement and supervision, of the SK government. Modern-day se*x workers in South Korea, who often service military personnel, receive little public or government sympathy and, if migrant workers, are often deported. They suffer some of the most punitive se*x work laws among OECD countries, forcing most underground, because the dominant societal narrative holds that only a few, immoral women voluntarily engage in paid s*ex work.” - On ‘Comfort Women’ and Academic Freedom

A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean counil's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before U.N Special Rapporteur, li:ed on behalf of Korean council. They are sw:indlers" In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were all Korean, and that Korean women who testified before U.N Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council.

  268. One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed cri:mes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 2.5 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995(Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notice. The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  270.  @juliotancredi7468  Ignorant is bliss Tritium is the mildly radioactive isotope of hydrogen that has two neutrons and one proton, with radioactivity so low that no environmental or human problems have ever come from it, even though it is a common radioactive element in the environment. Tritium is formed naturally by atmospheric processes as well as in nuclear weapons testing and in nuclear power plants. Tritium is assumed to be carcinogenic to humans at extremely high levels, although that claim is only hypothetical since adverse health effects from tritium have never appeared in humans or in the environment. Only laboratory studies on mice at extremely high levels have shown any adverse health effects and they were not fatal, even after ingesting 37,000,000 Bq/L. Putting this water into the ocean is without doubt the best way to get rid of it. Concentrating it and containerizing it actually causes more of a potential hazard to people and the environment. And is really expensive. Unfortunately, the idea of releasing radioactivity of any sort makes most people cringe. But that’s the problem, only the perception of tritium is bad, not the reality. And in our new world of anti-science, such a wrong idea might rule over what is the right thing to do, wasting precious resources and time. The scientific reality is tritium emits an incredibly weak beta particle that is easily stopped by our dead skin layer. It only goes a quarter inch in air. Even ingestion of tritium doesn’t do anything unless it’s at very high concentrations that can only be maintained in the laboratory. The health risks of tritium-contaminated water are so low that all countries of the world have no idea what regulatory limits to put on it. Using Becquerel per liter as the concentration unit (a Bq is a disintegration of a single nucleus per second), the United States has set 740 Bq/L for drinking water, but Canada has 7,000 Bq/L as its limit. Switzerland set 10,000 Bq/L, and Australia a whopping 76,103 Bq/L. But these limits were just taken out of thin air. They are not health-based. They were chosen because they were easy to achieve. Meaning none of these levels, or a hundred times these levels, are harmful. Even though more tritium has been formed in the last 60 years than all other radionuclides combined, there has never been a correlation of tritium with cancer or any other health effects in humans. Why is this the case? Hydrogen is a really small atom and easily gets through microscopic pores, even biological membranes and cell walls. Tritium (still hydrogen just heavier) can be found in water molecules (since water is two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom) and in organic materials which are mainly hydrogen and carbon. In fact, because tritium is three times heavier than normal hydrogen, tritium tends to replace normal hydrogen in water molecules, rapidly diluting any tritium in our bodies and in the environment. Our bodies are mostly hydrogen, and that is mostly in water. So while tritium’s radioactive half-life is 12.3 years, its biological half-life in our bodies is only 10 days. Therefore, ingestion of this weak emitter doesn’t have the same effect as most other ingested radionuclides.

  271. 2/ It’s also difficult for the extremely low-energy beta from tritium to get through the water, cell walls and other materials in between the radionuclide and any DNA. The energy in the slow-moving beta from tritium mostly gets dispersed within the electron clouds of other molecules through inelastic collisions and the Bremsstrahlung effect. This turns the kinetic energy of the beta emission into electromagnetic non-ionizing energy. In the end, it’s really difficult to get a large radiation dose from tritium, unlike any other radionuclide. It exits the body and is diluted too quickly. Even more important, there’s more tritium in the atmosphere from natural processes and left over from old bomb testing, than ever has been, or will be, released from commercial reactors. Cosmic rays produce four million curies worth of tritium every year (150,000,000,000,000,000 Bq) in the upper atmosphere, much of which rains out into surface waters that we end up drinking. Presently, however, the biggest source of tritium is from old above ground nuclear bomb tests that caused a peak in atmospheric tritium in 1963. These amounts of tritium from other sources are millions of times greater than what would be slowly released from these tanks at Fukushima. Since there’s been no health or environmental effects from any of these larger sources, it’s hard to get excited about dumping such a tiny amount from Fukushima into the ocean. Besides, there are 16,280,000,000,000,000,000,000 Bq of potassium-40, rubidium-87 and many more radionuclides already in the world’s oceans. So the fish are swimming in plenty of natural radioactive material. The biological half-life of tritium in fish and marine life is even shorter than in humans, less than 2 days and the dilution in seawater would be too rapid for any significant dose to get back to any people. Opposite to many other radionuclides, the physical and chemical properties of tritium means it does not concentrate up the food change, it dilutes up the food chain. So while Japanese fishermen fear this strategy of release from a public relations perspective, their fish will still test negative with respect to food radiation limits and their packaged fish sold at market would still carry the official ‘safe’ stickers. So it all comes down to perception and fear. We as scientists can give you the answers, but you can ignore them if you want, especially since non-scientists make these decisions anyway.

A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean counil's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before U.N Special Rapporteur, li:ed on behalf of Korean council.

  280. 1953 Jul 21 - "Country Girls Lured into Pros**tution" This July 7, 1953 article from the South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo describes a typical means by which innocent Korean girls were lured into pros**tution. That is, they are promised a good job, put into debt, and then forced to pay back the debt by working as pros**tutes. “When I was in South Korea in the navy in the late 1970s, the typical method was to put ads promising high-paying waitress jobs in cheap magazines. When girls showed up, they were given a furnished apartment to put them in high-interest debt, which their waitress salaries would never be able to pay off, which forced them into prostitution. At that time a person could not walk away from debt or declare personal bankruptcy.” Country Girls Lured into Pros**tution Go Ok-i (高玉伊), a 53-year-old woman who lives at No. 83 on 3rd Street in the Cho Ryang-dong area of Hanmok City, was operating a comfort woman business for UN servicemen until she suspended operations because of financial difficulties. Then on the 3rd of this month, with the intention of reopenning her business, Ms. Go had her maid, Im Mi-ja (林미子), lure five virgins, including 15-year-old Gang Pil-yeon (姜必連) of Jinju City (at No. 888 in Tongbong-dong), to Busan with promises of getting them jobs in the 34th Military Hospital. Telling the girls that they would need to wear "high-class" clothes if they expected to be hired, Ms. Go gave each of the six girls an advance of 5,000 hwan worth of high-class clothing with the idea of putting them to work as comfort women. However, she was detected by police authorities prior to that, and on the 7th, Ms. Go and Ms. Im were undergoing intense questioning at the Investigation Section of the Busan Police Department.

  281.  @DanielHerrera-sp9ey  Thank you for reading my comments.💝 SK is a country with a double standard that blames Japan (which has apologized officially many times and paid a lot of compensation to wartime prost**utes) while ignoring its own wrongdoings in Vietnam (Lai Dai Han, etc.). This is why the Japanese are outraged. We are not right-wing as they say, but simply stating the truth. In fact, this issue is N Korean/CCP's propaganda and the target is US feminists. They want to create ethnic conflicts in various countries and divide the friendly countries between the US and Japan. Have a nice day.

  282. Interview with former comfort woman -Bae Junchul: Was the owner of the comfort station in Bengbu also Korean? –Yes, all of them were Koreans. The amount of the up-front loan was decided through negotiation between both parties, the contract term was clearly set and there was a term regulating resale of the comfort woman. An agreement and the seal of the head of the household were required. A comfort woman and her parents knew what kind of work she would do for the Japanese military and that prior to resale, the up-front loan would change hands to the new entrepreneur. What else would be needed to prove that the entire scheme was nothing less than a contractual relationship?

Kid*napping 200,000 would not leave just 200,000 witnesses. Each human being is part of a wide network of family and acquaintances and even bystanders. Kid*napping hundreds of thousands of people would leave millions of witnesses from many countries and cultures. What did the kidnappers do with the women they supposedly kid*napped? The accusers claim mass murder. Where are the bodies?

  287. Why didn't the SK government mention that 200,000 Korean women were kid_napped during the Japan-Korea Basic Treaty? Why didn't the SK government mention that they were sex slaves during the Japan-S Korea Comfort Women Agreement in 2015? Did you know that the Korean government owe this issue? And why are there no witnesses at all? Why did the US and allied forces concluded that the comfort women were prost_tutes when they were enemies at the time, even though they were desperately looking for dirt on Japan and investigated if there’s sex slaves at the comfort stations? How on earth can any country expect to conclude a new agreement or treaty with a country where new administration invalidates the whole thing that former administration concluded?

  289. Kim said she has never received an apology from Japan, which is a flat-out lie. The truth is that comfort women's organization “Korean council” embezzle donations, force comfort women to lie, obstruct reconciliation with Japan, so that they can continue the comfort women propaganda. Japan has apologized many times and paid huge amounts of atonement money to the Korean women, but the Korean government has not given it to the women. *Japan-South Korea Treaty of 1965 During treaty negotiations, the Japanese government asked the S Korean government to identify and separate individual claims from the treaty because the Japanese government wanted to make sure the survivors received compensation. The South Korean government declined and accepted the entire sum of 800 million dollars (over ten billion dollars in today's money) in place of its citizens and spent all of it on infrastructures. Therefore it is not reasonable for the South Korean government to keep asking for additional compensation from Japan. *South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan” And their claim that they were forced into pros**tution is also a lie. A Korean professor interviewed the Korean women in 2003. After the interview professor commented: “I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean spi*es) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.”

Były koreański pocieszyciel Mun Oku-chu powiedział w swoich wspomnieniach: „Zwerbował mnie koreański właściciel stacji komfortu. Zaoszczędziłem sporo pieniędzy na napiwkach, więc otworzyłem konto oszczędnościowe. Nie mogłem uwierzyć, że mogę mieć tyle pieniędzy na koncie oszczędnościowym. Jeden z moich znajomych zebrał wiele klejnoty, więc poszedłem i kupiłem diament. Często chodziłem oglądać japońskie filmy i sztuki Kabuki, w których gracze pochodzili z kontynentalnej Japonii. Stałam się popularną kobietą w Rangun. W Rangunie było o wiele więcej oficerów niż na pierwszej linii frontu, więc byłam zapraszana na wiele imprez. Śpiewałam piosenki na przyjęciach i otrzymywałam wiele napiwków. Włożyłam wysokie obcasy, zielony płaszcz i nosiłam torebkę ze skóry aligatora. Chwaliłam się w modnej sukience. Nikt w mieście domyślałam się, że jestem komfortową kobietą. Czułam się bardzo szczęśliwa i dumna. Otrzymałam pozwolenie na powrót do domu, ale nie chciałam wracać do Korei. Chciałam zostać w Rangunie ”. Według profesora Ahn Byong Jika z Uniwersytetu w Seulu, Mun Oku-chu po wojnie nadal pracował jako prostytutka w Korei.

Zignorowała instrukcję i przez ponad godzinę kontynuowała przedstawienie płaczu i krzyku. Jej fałszywe zeznania zaowocowały uchwaleniem rezolucji 121 Izby Reprezentantów Stanów Zjednoczonych. W 2017 roku Lee Yong-soo złożyła fałszywe zeznania przed Radą Miejską San Francisco, co zaowocowało wzniesieniem w tym mieście pomnika kobiet komfortowych. ⚫︎ Według profesor Chunghee Sarah Soh z San Francisco State University, była koreańska kobieta do towarzystwa Moon Pil-ki została zwerbowana przez koreańskiego agenta właściciela stacji wypoczynkowej i zabrana do Mandżurii wraz z czterema innymi kobietami.

  302.  @tambunting8416  Japan apologized even if they were hired or deceived by Korean owners. — Korean comfort station owners The Japanese military sent notices to comfort station operators prohibiting them to recruit women against their will. The Japanese comfort station operators followed the order and only recruited willing women in Japan, but the Korean operators didn't follow the order and recruited both willing prostitutes and unwilling women in Korea. If the Korean operators had followed the order, there wouldn't have been any comfort women issue. Many of Korean comfort women's fathers had debts from alcohol, gambling, etc. and sold their daughters without daughters' consent. The Korean comfort station owners took over their debts, and depending on the amount of the debt, each woman's contract length was determined. Korean women were not allowed to leave until their debts were paid off. Any coercion, violence or confinement was exercised by the Korean owners. So if one wants to use the term "sex slaves" to describe former Korean comfort women, they were the sex slaves of Korean comfort station owners. They were not the sex slaves of the Japanese military. The Japanese military's involvement was limited to conducting sexually transmitted disease checkups and providing transportation to comfort station owners and comfort women

The book also published in Korea in 1989 and was dramatized for TV in 1991. The audience ratings were quite high.

But Korean Newspaper, the Chosun Ilbo that is the major newspapers in SK said in 5 Sep 2012 that “Only this book is enough to verify that Japanese army kidn*pped women and rap*ed.” Though in 2014 The Asahi canceled 18 articles and 495 columns for 14 years from 1980.

  305.  @tambunting8416  -Israel Friendship Association October 30, 2016 The actions of Japan in the occupied countries were thoroughly investigated after the war. The guilty parties faced an international tribunal in Tokyo. Though one of the judges, Justice R.B. Pal from India, found some of the charges excessive and issued a dissenting opinion, Japan accepted the findings and the verdict in an agreement signed after the end of the American occupation in 1952. At no point during the trial was the alleged government conspiracy to enslave sexually 200,000 women brought to the judges’ attention and it is impossible to assume that they would overlook something so important. “The issue of the army brothels was investigated by the American authorities. Declassified documents show that the conclusion was that in most cases they employed paid pros***utes. Again, there was no se*x slave conspiracy uncovered.” In the 1960’s, Japan negotiated a reparations settlement with S Korea, signed in 1965. Consequently, a large sum was paid in full in several installments. During that period, South Korea didn’t raise the “comfort women” issue, and neither did China. That happened only in 1991.

  308. July 14, 1954 - "Evil Pimp Arrested" This July 14, 1954 article is from the South Korean newspaper Gyeonghyang Sinmun. “ I heard stories similar to this one even in the late 1970s, when I was in the navy and stationed in SK, but I never heard of the pimps being arrested. In fact, the girls told me they could not go to the local police for help because they believed them to be working with the pimps.” Evil Pimp Arrested [Daegu] Jin Yong-hui, who operates a "wh*re house" at No. 67 Kyo-dong in Daegu City, has been brought in for questioning, without detention, at the Daegu Women's Police Station. Ms. Jin is charged with previously telling 21-year-old Kim Hak-i (金學伊) that she would pay her debt of 30,000 hwan if she would work for one month as a comfort woman, but when Ms. Kim could no longer endure the suffering and tried to escape on the 7th, she was illegally confi*ned and bea*ten numerous times.

  310. 단도직입적으로 말해서, 아무런 현실성이 없다고 결론내려도 무방하다. ‘역사적 사실’이 아닌 것이다. 왜냐하면 일본군 위안부 문제가 불거진 이후 지난 수십 여년 동안 한국과 일본의 여러 학자들과 정부 기구가 관련 수많은 연구와 조사를 진행했음에도 불구하고, 일제시대에 일본군이 조직적인 지휘체계를 통해서 민가에 난입해 직접적으로 조선인 처녀를 위안소로 강제연행(납치)했다는 객관적인 근거는 단 한개도 찾아내지 못했기 때문이다. 그렇다면 실제 일본군의 위안부 모집 현실은 어떠했던가. 사실, 생존 조선인 일본군 위안부들의 증언에서조차 일본군에 의한 직접적 강제연행에 대한 언급은 드물다. 실제 증언은 일본군이 아니라, 위안부 자신들과 위안소 사이를 매개한 ‘업자’(속칭 포주) 등에 의한 사기·약취, 인신매매 등의 요인으로써 일본군 위안소까지 가게 됐다는 내용들이 압도적이다.

  313. The BBC report in effect calls attention to Korea’s double standard. The SK government has repeatedly brought up the issue of the so-called “comfort women” of the Imperial Japanese Army, even within meetings of the United Nations, but has never apologized for the actions of its own soldiers in Vietnam.  The administration of Moon Jae In intentionally abandoned the Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue. The article further notes that, “S Korea also spent decades lobbying Japan for a similar apology over the hundreds of thousands of S Korean women forced to work as World War Two sex slaves.” While the phrases “hundreds of thousands” and “se.x slaves” are problematic, the BBC does throw light on the position of Korea, which has demanded apologies from Japan while feigning ignorance of its own problems.

  315. Once international treaty or agreement was concluded, we should leave political issue to the politicians historical issue to the historian. We should not hold any grudge and should put effort in building future-oriented relationships at all cost after that. That’s the developed country’s way of thinking. In that respect, SK are pretty much behind.

  318. The “Victims” testimonies are inconsistent and not trustworthy — ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents."

  319. One of the most often rep:eated and most dist:orted myt:hs concerning Japan’s suppo:sed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its cri:mes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995(Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notice. The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  320. SK is still the second largest exporter of pros** tution in the world after Venezuela. During the Vietnam War, Korean soldiers ra_ ped Vietnamese women and left more than 30,000 fatherless children of mixed race (Lai Dai Han) without apology. After the war, hundreds of thousands of Japanese women were ra _ped by Koreans. Hu_ man traff_ cking is still rampant in SK today, but it's crazy to ignore that and talk about wartime prost**tutes from 80 years ago. Japan has apologised many times for its wartime pros**tution system (even though there was no coercion ) and paid huge reparations, but it is the SK government that has failed to give them to the survivors. SK court recently ruled that the issue is a domestic matter for SK.

  321.  @treasuredpossesion9047  Why didn't the SK government mention that 200,000 Korean women were kid_napped during the Japan-Korea Basic Treaty? Why didn't the SK government mention that they were sex slaves during the Japan-S Korea Comfort Women Agreement in 2015? And why are there no witnesses at all? Why did the US and allied forces concluded that the comfort women were prost_tutes when they were enemies at the time, even though they were desperately looking for dirt on Japan and investigated if there’s sex slaves at the comfort stations? How on earth can any country expect to conclude a new agreement or treaty with a country where new administration invalidates the whole thing that former administration concluded?

  322. 148 Koreans(K) were convicted of class B and C War crimes.23 of them were sentenced to dea*th (compared to 920 Japanese, it’s relatively high considering that ethnic K made up a small percentage of Japanese military) Including K prison guards who were particularly notorious for their brutality during the war. “many of commanders and guards in POW camps were Korean.” The Japanese apparently didn’t trust them as soldiers -and it is said that they were more cruel than the Japanese.” -Judge Burt Roling( represented the Netherlands at international military tribunals for the far east) Survivor of 'Death Railway' says K guards were worst tormentors of Allied prisoners and 'should be whipped' The telegraph.11 November 2014 Bataan death march was orchestrated by K units. As one prisoner noted, "The K guards were the most abu*sive... the K were anxious to get blo*od on their bayonets; and then they thought they were veterans." -Bataan Death March - Page 2 K who were members of the Imperial Japanese Army caused atro*cities in the Philippines during World War II. Ever heard of Hong Sa-ik? Hong Sa-ik was an ethnic K who, in WW2, became the overall commander of the Japanese prison camps in the Philippines. He was even held responsible for the atro*cities committed in the Japanese prison camps. For that he was executed as a war crim*inal. from the Australian War Memorial: "Saraburi, Thailand. September 1945. K guards, members of the Japanese Imperial Army, lined up for an identification parade. The K were amongst the most brutal of the guards encountered by Allied prisoners of war (POWs) working on the Burma-Thailand railway. After the Japanese surrender, identification parades were held of possible war crim*inals where former POWs would identify,for the Allied authorities, Japanese soldiers who had committed atro*cities.

  323. This whole issue started with false testimony. The Japanese government was fooled by their lies and apologised many times, but they demanded a permanent apology to humiliate Japan. The SK government and the comfort women organization received huge sums of money from Japan, but threatened the comfort women not to accept the apology. The SK government and the comfort women organization received huge sums of money from Japan, but threatened the comfort women and refused to accept their apologies because they are from the North and are there to make this problem worse. They don't know what international law is, they don't know that it has already been settled with other Asian countries (except South Korea) and Japan either. First of all, a country that has retroactive laws is not a country with rule of law. Once international law is signed, bilateral issues are finally and irreversibly settled and cannot be revisited unless there is a bilaterally agreed amendment. And SK has signed international treaties and agreements with Japan. But it has unreasonably broken them and is asking Japan again and again for an apology and compensation. The SK government did not pay the money from Japan to the survivors, but used it for its own economic development. And the head of the comfort women group has been accused of embezzlement. Recently, a Korean court ruled that this is a domestic issue. In other words, this is their problem to solve.

  324. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traffi*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros***ute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict” - Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  325. Russia should drop the bomb to CCP instead of Japan 【幅射危機】大亞灣放射物質排放上限 遠超日本福島10倍 日本政府在周二(13日)提出，決定把福島核電廠積存的核廢水，在兩年後經稀釋後排落大海，而經處理的廢水將主要包含一種「氚」放射性物質。事件連日引來中國不斷批評，但距離香港只有50公里的大亞灣核電站，放射性物質「氚」的排放上限，竟然比日本福島的排放標準高出10倍。 據早前日本政府公布，福島核電廠積存的核廢水在經過稀釋後，每年最多排放22兆貝克的液態氚，濃度亦會稀釋到每升1500貝克，即是世衛飲用水標準的七分一。但中國國內資料顯示，鄰近香港的大亞灣核電站每年的液態氚排放上限達到225兆貝克，是福島未來每年排放量的10倍。 而據香港核電投資公司 (HKNIC) 數據顯示，過去10年大亞灣核電站的液態氚排放量平均為上限的20%，即是約49.5兆貝克，與日本政府訂出的標準比較，是超出一倍有多。此外，中國其他地區核電廠的液態氚排放量也較福島核電廠高，包括秦山核電廠、福建福清核電廠等。 「氚」是一種帶有放射性，能量雖高但穿透力弱的放射性物質，是氫的同位素之一。「氚」不會穿透人體，僅影響空氣中數厘米的範圍。一般情況下，飲用含氚的水才可能會對人體造成一定傷害，但「氚」在人體的半衰期只有7至18日，即使直接吸收了，每過14日殘留身體的劑量都會減半。 資料來源：中國生態環境部、香港核電投資公司

  328. A Taiwanese eye witness commenting about the time when Taiwan was under the rule of Japan. "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a criminal. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

  332. 1961 Sep 14 - Donga Ilbo Article on Registering "Comfort Women" for UN Soldiers The article to the left is a September 13, 1961 article from the South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo. It talks about transferring the authority for registering "comfort women for UN troops" from the Seoul Metroplitan Police to the front-line offices of the Social Bureau's Section for VD Control of Comfort Women for UN Troops. This article is not only evidence that the South Korea Government provided comfort women to UN soldiers, but also that it had been doing so even before September 13, 1961, under the authority of the Seoul Metropolitan Police. An October 19, 1959 article in the same Korean newspaper reported that nationwide Korea had 261,089 comfort women, of which 66% were infected with veneral disease. The same article also reported that in addition to comfort women--which was usually a reference to military pros***utes--Korea also had 63,635 hostess, 51,229 unlicensed pros**tutes, and 16,864 dancers.

  333. Les femmes de réconfort et les professeurs -UNIVERSITÉ DE HARVARD CENTRE JOHN M. OLIN POUR LE DROIT, L'ÉCONOMIE ET LES AFFAIRES Résumé : En Occident, nous avons adopté un étrange "récit". L'armée japonaise des années 30 et 40, écrivons-nous, a enrôlé de force 200 000 adolescentes, pour la plupart coréennes, dans des "camps de viol" appelés "postes de confort". Si quelqu'un met en doute l'histoire, nous le mettons sommairement en situation de "négationniste". Cela donne lieu à un phénomène étrange. Seules quelques-unes des femmes de réconfort affirment avoir été recrutées de force, et plusieurs d'entre elles avaient raconté une histoire différente avant le début de la campagne de réparation contre le Japon. Un affilié fortement gauchiste dirige leur maison de retraite, contrôle les personnes qu'elles peuvent voir et vilipende toute femme qui pourrait dire autre chose. En fait, personne n'a jamais trouvé de preuve documentaire que l'armée japonaise ait recruté de force une femme coréenne dans un poste de confort. Et lorsque des universitaires coréens remettent en question le récit orthodoxe, leur propre gouvernement les poursuit parfois en justice pour diffamation criminelle - en fait, il a envoyé un professeur hétérodoxe à six mois de prison l'automne dernier.

  334. One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995(Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  335. Korean authorities say “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war.

  338. Kim Bok-Dong said that she worked as a comfort woman for 8 years until 1948 but WW2 ended in 1945. -IJA didn’t exist after WW2. Japan participated in the WW2 in 1939 -1945-1939=6 years In her speech, 9/18/2013 in France, She said that her human rights has been violated by IJA in “Korean war”. -There is no IJA during the Korean war. Her human rights has been likely violated by UN/US soldiers. 122 of Korean comfort women for the UN/US sued their government in 2014. While Korean comfort women who sued Japan were only 9 in 1991. It means the US had more sex slaves than Japan.

  339. No, Koreans are NOT Jews 일한병합담화】일본의 사죄 필요없다. 한국 보수파의 탄식과 분개   전 한국 공군대령 최삼연씨 일한병합 100년에 즈음하여 한 간나오토 수상의 담화에 대하여, 일본통치시대를 아는 전 한국 공군대령 최삼연씨(81세)가 인터뷰에 응하여, “이것은 일본의 수상으로서는 실격이다. 오히려 서로의 신뢰를 잃는 결과가 된다.”고 위구의 마음을 표명하였다. 주요한 대화는 다음과 같다. 　―― 8월10일에 간 수상이 일한병합 100년에 즈음하여 담화를 발표하였습니다. 이에 대한 생각은 이것은 일본의 수상으로서는 실격입니다. 일본인으로서의 입장을 고려하지 않은 것입니다. 병합으로부터 100년, 전후 65년을 지났는데, 지금에 와서 어떤 입장으로 저런 것을 이야기하고 있는지, 전혀 모르겠습니다. 지금 이런 것은 일본의 종말이지요. 　――내용적으로는 1995년의 무라야마 토이치 수상 담화의 반복이라고도 하는데 아니지요. 더 무시무시합니다. 무라야마 담화는 단순한 사죄이고. 거기에서부터 공생을 목표로 하는 것이라고도 말할 수 있어요. 간나오토 수상의 담화는, 그 다음에 나올 것은 한일기본조약의 무효입니다. 원래 식민지라는 것은 15세기부터 시작되었습니다. 근현대사라는 것은 인류에 있어서 식민지시대라고도 할 수 있어요. 세계는 가는 곳 마다 식민지 투성이었어요. 　――확실히 세계사 지도를 보면 말씀하신 대로네요. 아프리카 등은 식민지시대가 끝나고도 빈곤으로부터 좀처럼 벗어날 수 없는 상태입니다. 그러면 식민지로부터 근대적인 경제발전을 수행한 곳은 어디인가요? 한국과 대만입니다. 모두 일본의 식민지였던 곳입니다. 그 외에도 홍콩과 싱가폴이 있지만, 여기는 영국의 소위 천령(天領)이었습니다. 인도는 영국의 식민지로서 대표적이지만, 인프라가 정비되어있지 않고, 좀처럼 경제발전이 되지 않았습니다. 지금 인도는 경제발전을 하고 있다고 하지만, 그레도 일인당 GDP는 890달러, 문자해독률은 64%에 불과합니다. 　――한국과 대만은 일본통치시대에 인프라가 정비되어 있었다고 말씀하시는 것인가요? 전쟁이 끝나기 전, 철도, 수도, 전기 등의 설비는 일본 국내와 큰 차가 없었어요. 이것은 다른 외국의 식민지 경영과 아주 다른 점입니다. 다른 외국은 식민지로부터는 일방적으로 착취만 할 뿐이었어요. 일본은 국내의 세금을 식민지의 인프라 정비에 투입한 것입니다. 그래서 주민의 생활수준에도 본토와 그다지 차이가 없었어요. 　――교육은 어떠하였나요. 저는 일본통치시대의 교육도 받았어요. 당시 일본 국내에서 행하여지고 있었던 학교교육과 차이가 없었습니다. 또 일본의 육군사관학교에는조선인의 입학을 인정하고 있었어요. 당시의 다른 외국에서는 자국의 육군사관학교에 식민지인의 입학을 인정하지는 않았어요. 즉 일본은 교육에 있어서도 차별을 하지 않았습니다. 당시의 다른 외국은 본국과 식민지를 명확히 차별하고 있었어요. 식민지란 착취의 대상으로서 경영하는 것이었고, 차별당하여도 당연했습니다. 일본은 차별을 하지 않도록 병합한 것이고, 소위 다른 외국의 식민지지배와는 완전히 달랐습니다. 　――다른 외국이야 말로 사죄하여야 하는데 일본만 사죄해야만 하는 것은 어떻게 된 까닭인가요 최근에 식민지다, 침략이다 말하고 있지만, 이것에는 중국의 전략이 그 배경에 있습니다. 중국의 전략은 일본을 재기불능하게 하고, 일본이 한국과 대만과 연대하는 것을 저지하는 것입니다. 　――그렇게 말씀하신다면, 일미동맹과 미한동맹은 있는데 한일동맹은 없습니다. 미군기지의 위치관계에서 보면 사실상 동맹국이라고 해도 좋을 정도로 접근하여 있는데 동맹조약은 맺어져 있지 않습니다. 한일동맹이야 말로 중국과 북한이 가장 두려워하고 있는 동맹입니다. 그러므로 이것을 억제하고 방해하기 위해서 중국은 전력을 기울이고 있습니다. 이에 대하여 일본은 대응을 잘못하고 있다고 말하지 않을 수 없어요. 　――일본이 사죄를 하지 않아서 양국의 간격은 메워지지 않는다 등의 말을 하는데. 무라야마 담화 이후에도 한일관계도 중일관계도 오히려 악화되었습니다. 일본인은 사과하면 한국과 중국, 북한이 용서하여 줄 것이다고 생각하고 있는 것같습니다만 큰 오산입니다. 처음부터 노림수는 다른 곳에 있기 때문에, 원래 용서할 마음은 없습니다. 중국의 대전략은 일미한의 연대와 제휴를 극력 저지하는 것입니다. 그레서 역사문제를 일부러 크게 보이게하여 나팔을 불어댑니다. 제가 공부한 바로는 그리 큰 문제는 아닙니다.예컨대 동경군사재판의 A급 전범은 일본의 국내법에서 사면되어 있습니다. 사면된 이상, 이미 전범이 아닙니다. 즉 일본에는 A급이던, B급이던 C급이던 이미 전범은 없는 것입니다. 그럼에도 불구하고 A급전범이 합사되어 있으니 야스쿠니신사에 가지 말라고 하는 것은 억지입니다. 강화라는 것은 과거와 선을 긋는 것입니다. 중일평화우호조약, 한일기본조약을 체결하는 것은 이것으로 과거의 문제를 청산하고 화해를 한다는 한다는 약속이고 과거를 다시 끄집어내는 것은 이상한 것입니다. 　――일본정부는 한국에 대한 보상 문제를 재검토하려고 하고 있는 것 같습니다. 일본과 한국에 대해서 말한다면, 과거의 모든 보상문제는 해결이 완료된 것입니다. 그러므로 재검토할 필요 따위는 없습니다. 그런데 일본인은 결백증이 있어서 상대방이 조금이라도 불만을 말하면 또 사과하고 돈을 낼까라는 이야기가 됩니다. 　――결백증이 오히려 적이 되고 있는 셈입니다. 일본인의 도리, 정의감은 대륙에서는 전혀 통용되지 않습니다. 　――구체적으로는 어떤 것인가요 일본인이 지니고 있는 윤리, 정의, 도덕, 준법정신 등은 인류 보편의 가치이고 아주 우수한 것입니다. 일본 국내에서는 이것들의 가치는 존중되어 잘 지켜지고 있습니다. 그런데 일본을 한 발짝이라도 밖으로 나가면 도둑놈, 사기꾼들로 가득차 있습니다. 이러한 점을 일본인들은 알아차리지 못하고 있어요. 　――한국에서는 어떤가요 조선반도는 아직도 남북으로 분단되어 있습니다. 즉 아직도 전쟁상태입니다. 그래서 북한은 계속하여 한국에 대하여 정치공작을 합니다. 그런 상태를 일본의 정부는 얼마 만큼 이해하고 있는가요? 그것을 이해하지 못하고 단지 일본이 고개를 숙여도 일본과 한국은 결코 사이가 좋아질 수 없어요. 일본이 고개를 숙이면 일본의 체면이 완전히 구겨집니다. 대륙과 반도에서는 체면은 아주 중요한 것이고 이것을 잃으면 계속해서 모욕을 당합니다. 　――일본에서는 체면이라는 말은 이미 사어가 되었네요. 일본에서는 고개를 숙이면 겸허한 사람이라고 존경을 받지만, 대륙과 반도에서는 계속하여 당합니다. 결국 일본인은 내심, 한국인을 싫어하게 될 것입니다. 오히려 서로의 신뢰를 잃는 결과가 됩니다. 　――그렇게 말씀하신다면 최근의 일이지만, 이런 이야기를 들었습니다. 어떤 일본인 여성사원인데, 한국 회사와의 계약을 하는데 성공하였습니다. 그것은 좋았지만, 상담이 성립되자 마자. 한국인 남성사원이 “일본은 과거의 문제에 대하여 사죄하라. 괘씸하다.”고 떠벌였다고 합니다. 상대는 중요한 손님이므로 반박할 수는 없어서, 가만히 듣는 수 밖에 없었지만, 내심 한국을 아주 싫어하게 되었다고 합니다. 이러한 것을 연배가 있는 일본인 남성에게 이야기하자 “그러니 한국과는 사귀지 않는 편이 좋다.”고 들었다고 합니다. 그것이야 말로 실로 중국이 의도하는 바입니다. 중국의 전략의 노림수는 거기에 있기 때문입니다.

  340. 2/2 　――일본은 무턱대고 고개를 숙여서는 아니 되네요. 세계적으로 보면 식민지지배를 받은 측에서는 원한과 증오가 있지만, 역으로 종주국에 존경의 마음을 품는 경우도 있습니다. 인도인이 영국문화에 존경의 마음을 품기도 합니다. 대만과 한국에서도 “그 시대는 열쇠를 잠그지도 않고 잠을 잘수 있었다.”고 하는 연배가 있는 사람들이 많이 있습니다. 그러나 젊은 세대는 그런 시대를 모르기 때문에, 증오의 감정만이 앞서 버립니다. 즉, 일본이 사과하면 이런 일본과 한국의 근저에 있는 오랜된 좋은 추억이 사라져, 증오만이 남는 것입니다. 일본도 미국에 원폭을 투하당하여. 점령당하여 미국에 대한 증오의 감정은 있을 것입니다. 그러나 그런 과거의 원한만을 말하고 있으면 어떻게 되겠나요? 일미관계는 악화될 것입니다. 　――그렇게 말씀하시니, 최근 미국에 원폭투하의 사과를 요구하는 움직임이 있네요 중국은 어쨌든 일본을 고립시키려고 야단입니다. 그러한 방식은 결국 중국을 위해서도 도움이 되지 않는다고 생각하지만, 중국은 외국을 억지하는 것만을 생각하고 있고 자국을 개혁하려고는 하지 않아요 　――중국국내에도 문제가 산적한데, 그 인식 조차 위험한 느낌이네요 북한 문제에서도 그 뒤에 있는 것은 중국입니다. 중국은 6개국협의의 의장국이지만, 이 협의에서 어떤 성과가 있었나요? 북한에 핵미사일을 개발하는 시간과 지원을 주었을 뿐입니다. 그레서 북한이 한국의 초계함을 침몰시켜 40인 이상의 한국인이 희생되었는데, 중국의 반대로 국제연합에서 제재도 과할 수 없었습니다. 이러한 방식으로 임한다면 결국 어느 나라도 중국을 신용하지 않게 됩니다. 이러한 방식은 오히려 중국의 발목을 잡게되지만 그것을 중국은 이해하지 못해요. 　――그렇게 말씀하시니, 미국의 중국에 대한 대응도 변해온 것같이 느낍니다. 남중국해에서 베트남과 합동군사훈련을 하고 이번에는 황해에서 한국과 합동군사훈련을 한다고 하고 있습니다. 중국은 반발하고 있네요. 바로 최근까지는 중국을 배려하였던 미국이었는데. 지금에 와서는 모습이 변한 것입니다. 한국에서도 실제로는 중국의 위협을 오싹하게 느끼고 있어요 　――북한과 중국의 관계는 어떻게 될 것인가요. 지금 북한을 지배하고 있는 무리들은 요컨대 중국의 마적 비적입니다. 　――그렇습니까? 김정일의 아버지 김일성은 전쟁이 끝나기 전에는 만주인으로 상장하였습니다. 본명은 김성주, 조선어보다는 중국어가 유창하였고 비적으로서 활개치고 다녔습니다. 1945년에 조선 북부를 점령한 소련에 의하여, 이미 항일의 영웅으로서 전설이 되어있었던 김일성 장군으로 만들어던 것입니다. 즉 가짜 김일성입니다. 진짜 김일성 장군은 저희들이 소년시절에 조선 북부에서 소문을 들은 인물이지만 당시 33세의 애송이였던 김성주일리가 없어요. 진짜 김일성은 일본의 육군사관학교를 21기로 졸업하여 나중에 독립운동으로 돌아선 김광서라고 해요. 　――구 소련이 항일영웅전설을 이용한 셈이네요. 중국에 있던 양아치같은 것들이 지금의 북한을 지배하고 있는 것입니다. 그래서 제대로 된 정치가 될 리가 없고, 경제는 엉망입니다. 그런데 한국의 지금의 젊은이 중에는 북한에 속아서 올바른 정권이라고 믿고 있는 자들이 적지 않아요. 한탄스러울 뿐입니다. 　――친북파네요. 그렇습니다. 여론의 동향에 따라서는 친북파가 주도권을 쥐고 북한 중심의 남북통일도 가능한 정세입니다. 혹시 그렇데 된다면 큰일입니다. 이것을 저지하기 위해서는 한국과 일본은 연대와 제휴를 강화해야한다고 생각합니다. 　――오늘은 고마웠습니다. 〈최씨의 프로필〉 최삼연 1928년 조선반도 북부의 함흥 출생. 종전 후 한국 공군에 입대. 한국전쟁에서 싸웠다. 대학에서는 영문학, 대학원에서는 행정학을 전공. 군의 요직을 역임하고 1971년 공군대령으로 퇴역. 그 후 오디오 부품 제조사의 경영 기획에 참가. 공업상품의 품질관리기관 임원, 윤활유공업협회 부회장을 역임하여, 세계 각국의 경제, 정치 상황을 시찰하여 한국공업의 기반 확립을 위하여 진력하였다. 현재 한일 양국을 위시한 폭넓은 세계적 인재교류에 힘쓰고 있다. 출처 : 【일한병합담화】일본의 사죄 필요없다. 한국 보수파의 탄식과 분개

  341. 148 Koreans(K) were convicted of class B and C War crimes.23 of them were sentenced to dea*th (compared to 920 Japanese, it’s relatively high considering that ethnic K made up a small percentage of Japanese military) Including K prison guards who were particularly notorious for their brutality during the war. “many of commanders and guards in POW camps were Korean.” The Japanese apparently didn’t trust them as soldiers -and it is said that they were more cruel than the Japanese.” -Judge Burt Roling( represented the Netherlands at international military tribunals for the far east) Survivor of 'Death Railway' says K guards were worst tormentors of Allied prisoners and 'should be whipped' The telegraph.11 November 2014 Bataan death march was orchestrated by K units. As one prisoner noted, "The K guards were the most abu*sive... the K were anxious to get blo*od on their bayonets; and then they thought they were veterans." -Bataan Death March - Page 2 K who were members of the Imperial Japanese Army caused atro*cities in the Philippines during World War II. Ever heard of Hong Sa-ik? Hong Sa-ik was an ethnic K who, in WW2, became the overall commander of the Japanese prison camps in the Philippines. He was even held responsible for the atro*cities committed in the Japanese prison camps. For that he was executed as a war crim*inal. from the Australian War Memorial: "Saraburi, Thailand. September 1945. K guards, members of the Japanese Imperial Army, lined up for an identification parade. The K were amongst the most brutal of the guards encountered by Allied prisoners of war (POWs) working on the Burma-Thailand railway. After the Japanese surrender, identification parades were held of possible war crim*inals where former POWs would identify,for the Allied authorities, Japanese soldiers who had committed atro*cities.

  342. 【Western historians who are unable to read Japanese reference books and public documents】 Professor Ramseyer of Harvard University wrote a paper in which he demonstrated empirically that “the comfort women were not “sexual slaves” kidnapped by the Japanese soldiers, and the problems surrounding the comfort women were caused by the recruiters in Korea”, for which he was criticized by western scholars. This clearly represents the fact that western scholars are basically ignorant about the problem of the comfort women. I attempted to start up a dialog on SNS with some of the overseas professors criticizing Ramseyer, but these were all people who were unable to read reference material in Japanese. These overseas scholars are unable to read official documents from the war, which are difficult even for Japanese people to understand. Korean scholars are the same, and they rely on Japanese scholars for the translation and commentary on these public documents. For example, in 1938, there is a document communicated by the Home Ministry Police Affairs Bureau to a Chief in another region called “Stipulations regarding women traveling to China for the purposes of prostitution". This document includes the “Seven rules for preventing prostitution transactions and kidnapping against the will of the person concerned”. However, a Chuo University Professor, Yoshiaki Yoshimi, in his own work, provided commentary that was completely opposite to the meaning of the circular and spread this to western countries. Yoshimi, who was criticized for this error by Japanese historians, recognized his mistake domestically, but did not withdraw his opinion overseas, and this continues to influence academics throughout the world. I want you to understand that overseas scholars on Japanese history do not have the ability to read the primary material, lack sufficient knowledge, and are inferior even to Japanese amateur historians. Most of them can only understand things translated into English.

  343. The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abd*ucted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council. They are swi*ndlers"

  344.  @mickeykyl.4579  Kim Bok-Dong said that she worked as a comfort woman for 8 years until 1948 but WW2 ended in 1945. -IJA didn’t exist after WW2. Japan participated in the WW2 in 1939 -1945-1939=6 years In her speech, 9/18/2013 in France, She said that her human rights has been violated by IJA in “Korean war”. -There is no IJA during the Korean war. Her human rights has been likely violated by UN/US soldiers. 122 of Korean comfort women for the UN/US sued their government in 2014. While Korean comfort women who sued Japan were only 9 in 1991. It means the US had more sex slaves than Japan.

  347. ⚫︎Contemporary U.S. Military Sources One primary source is Report No. 49, U.S. Office of War Information, dated October 1, 1944. This is an interrogation report of 20 Korean comfort women in Burma. This report clearly states: A “comfort woman” is nothing more than a pros**tute or professional camp follower. ⚫︎Allied Translator Records and Captured Japanese Documents Another primary source is found in the ATIS (Allied Translator/Interpreter Section) Research Report No. 120. It says, “Amenities of the Japanese Armed Forces,” dated November 15, 1945. Among them are the following: From a captured Japanese document, “Rules for Restaurants and Houses of Pros**tution,” dated February 1943: MANILA: “Persons receiving permission to open business [comfort station] will…submit…copy of personal histories of employees….” “Permission is necessary before anyone joins the establishment.” SHANGHAI SECTOR: “The pros**tutes will possess licenses….” “Unlicensed pros**tutes are strictly prohibited from plying their trade.” “The pros**tute and the operator will share equally the proceeds of the work done by the pros**tute.” “Tacloban Brothel Regulations,” undated: “Places called brothels in these regulations are special brothels operated with Filipino women (licensed pros**tutes).” ⚫︎Foreign Ministry Documents on Comfort Stations Japanese Foreign Ministry documents from the wartime era were also captured and are among the primary sources available. These include: Consul General Reports on the Status of Countrymen and Businesses in Chinese Cities: Report on Jiujian (sic) Consulate Report No. 561, 11/8/38; Nanchang (sic) Report No. 217, 8/9/39; Chiahu (sic) Report No. 170, 8/2/39 All of these reports list comfort stations, together with other commercial businesses, not as something special. Operators are listed as civilians. Countrymen are identified as Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese. There is no mention of any comfort station operated by military personnel. Another document, the “Report by Governor General of Guangdong (sic), Report No. 37, 3/15/41,” also lists comfort stations with other businesses run by Japanese, Taiwanese, and Koreans. All comfort stations with Korean women were operated by Koreans, Japanese women by Japanese. There is not even a hint of military guards.

  348.  @xlazuii  Korean authorities say “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  349.  @xlazuii  One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  350.  @xlazuii  An article in Korean newspaper Kyunghyang Shinmun on June 6, 1977. It says that a Korean comfort station owner traffi/cked dozens of Korean comfort women to Asia to provide sex to Japanese/Korean soldiers there during World War II. It was common knowledge in Korea until the 1970s that Korean comfort station owners recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations, and no Koreans opposed that concept. Then Japanese newspaper published a series of fabricated articles in the 1980's falsely accusing Japanese military of coercing Korean comfort women. Korean communists with close ties to NK thought this was a great opportunity to defame Japan and block reconciliation between Japan and Korea. So they formed the anti-Japan lobby group in 1990 and began spreading comfort women’s false testimonies worldwide. Their tactic was to use the case of a small number of Dutch indonesia women who were coerced by lower ranked Japanese soldiers and make it look like the same thing happened to tens of thousands of Korean women. Since they had no evidence, they coached Korean women to testify falsely.

  354. A Taiwanese eye witness commenting about the time when Taiwan was under the rule of Japan. "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a collaborator. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

  355. The US Report, of 20 Korean comfort girls: “Prisoner of War, his wife and sister-in-law had made some money as restaurant keepers in KEIJO [present-day Seoul], KOREA, but their trade declining, they looked for an opportunity to make more money and applied to Army Headquarters in KEIJO for permission to take ‘comfort girls’ from KOREA to BURMA….” “Prisoner of war purchased 22 Korean girls, paying their families from 300 to 1000 yen according to the personality, looks and age of the girl. These 22 girls were of ages from 19 to 31. They became the sole property of prisoner of war and the Army made no profits from them….” “Every ‘comfort girl’ was employed on the following contract conditions. She received fifty percent of her own gross takings and was provided with free passage, free food and free medical treatment. The passage and medical treatment were provided by the Army authorities, the food was purchased by the brothel owner with the assistance of the Army supply depots. The owners made other profits by selling clothing, necessities and luxuries to the girls at exorbitant charges. When a girl is able to repay the sum of money paid to her family, plus interest, she should be provided with a free return passage to KOREA, and then considered free….”

  356. As academics, we are used to dealing with exaggerations. We are not used to finding that the story is pure fiction. But that is the nature of the comfort-women-se*x-slave story. It’s been a bizarrely unending story. Elderly Korean women claim to have been forced at Japanese bay*onet-point to work as se*x slaves. The Japanese government replies that the Korean government waived claims like this by treaty in 1965. But it expresses sympathy anyway, and offers more money. Koreans still complain. The Japanese government apologizes again, offers more money, and the Korean government promises never to raise the question again. Then a new political party takes power, declares the Japanese apology insincere, and starts the process all over again. Expressing sympathy to elderly women who have had a rough life is fine. Paying money to an ally in order to rebuild a stable relationship is fine. But the claims about enslaved Korean comfort women are historically untrue. The Japanese army did not drag*oon Korean women to work in its brothels. It did not use Korean women as se*x slaves. The claims to the contrary are simply ー factually ー false.

Japanese soldier trained PETA, the Japanese-led volunteer army for Indonesians during World War II. PETA was the nucleus for what would eventually become the Indonesian Military. After the war, Japan’s ODA to Indonesia amounted to more than 5.5 trillion yen.(About 668 trillion rupiahs/ US$49.5 billion*) for Indonesia. Japan has been the largest bilateral donor to Indonesia, and Indonesia is the largest recipient of Japanese ODA. -60% of Trans-Sumatra Highway and toll roads in Jakarta constructed -Indonesia’s first subway -11,000 MW electric power supply facilities constructed, equivalent to 20% of the national capacity of power supply -Agriculture productivity increased through an expansion of 370,000 hectares of irrigated areas -More than 156 billion yen for climate change and natural environment conservation

  361. Kore otoritesi diyor ki: “Rahat bir kadın olmak temelde bir meslektir. Onların işi para kazanmak için cinsel hizmetler sunmaktı. Kadınlar yasal izin almadan bu işi yapmak için konfor istasyonlarına gidemezler. Onlar sadece götürülmezler. Çoğu durumda, kendi özgür iradeleri olmasa da babaları ve anneleri tarafından satıldılar. Bunun nedeni, rahat bir kadın olmak ya da bir cinsel hizmet işletmecisi için çalışmak için bir sözleşmenin kesinlikle gerekli olmasıdır. Sözleşme, yasal bir vasi tarafından imzalanmış yazılı onay gerektirir. Yasal vasi bir ebeveyn veya aile üyesi olabilir. O günlerde, koruyucu babalar yasal vasi olarak kabul edildi. O günlerde koruyucu babalar tipik insan kaçakçılarıydı. Niçin? Çünkü ebeveynleri yasal olarak kadınların kontrolünü ele geçirebilecek şekilde oynadılar. Bunun için aile sicilinin resmi bir kopyası gerekliydi. Bu gerekliydi çünkü yasal vasinin kim olduğundan ve daha da önemlisi yaşın doğrulanması gerektiğinden emin olmak önemliydi. O günlerde, bir kadının fahişe olarak çalışmasına izin vermek için en az 17 yaşında olması gerekiyordu. 17 yaşın altındakilerin genelevlerde çalışmasına izin verilmedi. Sıkı oldu. Bununla birlikte, Moon Jae-in yönetimi, cinsiyet eşitliği ve aile Bakanlığı, Kore Konseyi tarafından figür haline getirilen KİM Bok-dong, 14 yaşında rahat bir kadın olmak için götürüldüğünü söyledi. Bu bir yalandır. Lee Yong-soo, iyi bildiğiniz gibi, Yoon Mi-hyang tarafından yazılmış bir kitapta yer alan” uyurken geceleri Japon ordusu tarafından götürüldüğünde 14 yaşındaydı". Bu bir yalandır. İlk ifadesinde Lee Yong-soo, kim bon adında bir arkadaşını takip ettiğini söylüyor-soon belli bir kişiyle tanışmak için. Bir çantada kırmızı bir elbise ve bir çift deri ayakkabı verildiğinde, çekiciliğini hissetmeden önce onlarla birlikte gitti. 14 yaşında olduğunu söyledi. LEE Yong-soo'nun yaşı sürekli değişiyor. 14, 15 ve 16 yaşında olduğunu ve ilk ifadesinde 14 yaşında olduğunu belirtti. Bu bir yalandır. 14 yaşında bir kız teselli edici bir kadın olamazdı. 15 yaşında bir kişi olarak çalışmak mümkün değildi. ROK şu anda bir yalan cenneti. 1960'lardan 1970'lere kadar, kırsal alanlardan gelen kadınlar Seul istasyonunda dolaşırken, birileri onlarla konuşmak için onlara her zaman yaklaştı. Sor, “aç Değil misin? Üşümüyor musun?” “Evet.""Neden benimle gelmiyorsun? Sana sıcak bir yerde yiyecek bir şeyler verebilirim.” Böylece kişiyi takip ettiler ve kendilerini kolayca hayal edebileceğiniz bir yerde buldular. Kadınları rahatlatmak için olan buydu. Ancak, hayat kadınlarına alınan yokken, tüccarlar, ya da pezevenkler bile, ebeveynler ve aile üyeleri ile birlikte ve peşin olarak sözleşme yaptı. Bu işverenden bir kredidir. KİM Hak-soon ilk olarak 14 Ağustos 1991'de rahat bir kadın olduğunu ifade etti. Aslında, o da 40 yen için üvey babası tarafından satın alındı. Annesi onu 40 yen'e sattı. KİM Hak-soon'un üvey babası ona bir akademide kisaeng eğitimi verdi ve ülke içinde iş yapmaya çalıştı, ancak yasal yaşın altında olduğu için yapamadı. Buna göre, onu Çin'e götürmek için, Kim'in annesine “onu Çin'e götürüp götüremeyeceğini” sordu. Kalkış sırasında, kim ifade verdi, annesi sarı bir kazak taşıyan, onu satmak için Pyongyang istasyonuna gitti. Şimdi, bu kadınların hiçbiri, KİM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KİL Won-ok veya KİM Bok-dong, ifadelerinde Japon ordusu tarafından alındıklarını söylemedi. Kore kadın Konseyi'nden Yoon Mi-hyang, cinsiyet eşitliği ve aile Bakanlığı ve Moon Jae-in'in hepsi yalan söylüyor. Hepiniz gerçeği bilmelisiniz. Burada bir açıklama yapmamızın nedeni, bu yalanların tüm ROK'U doldurması, Kore halkı arasında çatışmaya ve bölünmeye neden olmasıdır. Bu yalan, Japonya'yı Güney Kore ile ilişkilerini koparmaya zorluyor. Doğru tarihi bilmeliyiz. Doğru tarihi bilerek, insanların düşüncesi bir olacaktır. O anlamda , "nefret ve çatışmayı simgeleyen konfor kadın Heykeli”, "yalanları ve uydurmayı simgeleyen bu rahat kadın Heykeli” kesinlikle kaldırılması gerekir.” - Kore tarihi Ders Kitabı Araştırma Enstitüsü Müdürü

  371. She is lying. All the testimonies are coached by the comfort women organization. In fact, she was a professional hired by the Korean owner. There still remains the Korean owner's diary and lots of advertisements for comfort women. They made huge profit from operating comfort stations. At the time, the Japanese government was rather struggling to crack down on the illegal Korean brokers. Unfortunately, some of the comfort women were abused by the Korean owners, so Japanese government repeatedly apologised, paid large amounts of compensation and supported them, even though Japanese military didn’t coerce Korean women. However, the South Korean government did not give the money to the Korean women, but used all the money for its own economic development. Moreover,comfort women organization threatened Korean women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. Those who defied the organization’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. The leaders of the comfort women organization have been arrested as North Korean sp*ies. The notorious org is spreading lies worldwide, blocking reconciliation between Japan and Korea, so that they can continue comfort women propaganda.

  373. [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

  379. Don’t you know what the treated water is? Google ALPS treated water Releasing the treated water into the sea has been recommended by the IAEA scientists from 10 years ago and it’s going to be checked by the IAEA every time before releasing it into the sea. The amount of tritium is much lower than other countries. China and South Korea has been releasing much more radioactive material into the sea and the air. The content of tritium in the treated water is one seventh of drinking water. If you have a beef with it, why don't you tell it to the IAEA? Japan should follow the IAEAs policy.

  380. The authority of disposal of nuclear waste says Scientists have been urging the Japanese government to slowly release tritium-contaminated water from the Fukushima accident into the Pacific Ocean over about a ten-year period. The water is stored on-site in 900 or so large tanks. All of the other radioactive elements have been removed from the water by chemical treatment. Although not intuitive, this is a very good idea. Tritium is the mildly radioactive isotope of hydrogen that has two neutrons and one proton, with radioactivity so low that no environmental or human problems have ever come from it, even though it is a common radioactive element in the environment. Tritium is formed naturally by atmospheric processes as well as in nuclear weapons testing and in nuclear power plants. Tritium is assumed to be carcinogenic to humans at extremely high levels, although that claim is only hypothetical since adverse health effects from tritium have never appeared in humans or in the environment. Only laboratory studies on mice at extremely high levels have shown any adverse health effects and they were not fatal, even after ingesting 37,000,000 Bq/L. Putting this water into the ocean is without doubt the best way to get rid of it. Concentrating it and containerizing it actually causes more of a potential hazard to people and the environment. And is really expensive. Unfortunately, the idea of releasing radioactivity of any sort makes most people cringe. But that’s the problem, only the perception of tritium is bad, not the reality. And in our new world of anti-science, such a wrong idea might rule over what is the right thing to do, wasting precious resources and time. The scientific reality is tritium emits an incredibly weak beta particle that is easily stopped by our dead skin layer. It only goes a quarter inch in air. Even ingestion of tritium doesn’t do anything unless it’s at very high concentrations that can only be maintained in the laboratory. The health risks of tritium-contaminated water are so low that all countries of the world have no idea what regulatory limits to put on it. Using Becquerel per liter as the concentration unit (a Bq is a disintegration of a single nucleus per second), the United States has set 740 Bq/L for drinking water, but Canada has 7,000 Bq/L as its limit. Switzerland set 10,000 Bq/L, and Australia a whopping 76,103 Bq/L. But these limits were just taken out of thin air. They are not health-based. They were chosen because they were easy to achieve. Meaning none of these levels, or a hundred times these levels, are harmful. Even though more tritium has been formed in the last 60 years than all other radionuclides combined, there has never been a correlation of tritium with cancer or any other health effects in humans. Why is this the case? Hydrogen is a really small atom and easily gets through microscopic pores, even biological membranes and cell walls. Tritium (still hydrogen just heavier) can be found in water molecules (since water is two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom) and in organic materials which are mainly hydrogen and carbon. In fact, because tritium is three times heavier than normal hydrogen, tritium tends to replace normal hydrogen in water molecules, rapidly diluting any tritium in our bodies and in the environment. Our bodies are mostly hydrogen, and that is mostly in water. So while tritium’s radioactive half-life is 12.3 years, its biological half-life in our bodies is only 10 days. Therefore, ingestion of this weak emitter doesn’t have the same effect as most other ingested radionuclides.
    2
  381. 2/ It’s also difficult for the extremely low-energy beta from tritium to get through the water, cell walls and other materials in between the radionuclide and any DNA. The energy in the slow-moving beta from tritium mostly gets dispersed within the electron clouds of other molecules through inelastic collisions and the Bremsstrahlung effect. This turns the kinetic energy of the beta emission into electromagnetic non-ionizing energy. In the end, it’s really difficult to get a large radiation dose from tritium, unlike any other radionuclide. It exits the body and is diluted too quickly. Even more important, there’s more tritium in the atmosphere from natural processes and left over from old bomb testing, than ever has been, or will be, released from commercial reactors. Cosmic rays produce four million curies worth of tritium every year (150,000,000,000,000,000 Bq) in the upper atmosphere, much of which rains out into surface waters that we end up drinking. Presently, however, the biggest source of tritium is from old above ground nuclear bomb tests that caused a peak in atmospheric tritium in 1963. These amounts of tritium from other sources are millions of times greater than what would be slowly released from these tanks at Fukushima. Since there’s been no health or environmental effects from any of these larger sources, it’s hard to get excited about dumping such a tiny amount from Fukushima into the ocean. Besides, there are 16,280,000,000,000,000,000,000 Bq of potassium-40, rubidium-87 and many more radionuclides already in the world’s oceans. So the fish are swimming in plenty of natural radioactive material. The biological half-life of tritium in fish and marine life is even shorter than in humans, less than 2 days and the dilution in seawater would be too rapid for any significant dose to get back to any people. Opposite to many other radionuclides, the physical and chemical properties of tritium means it does not concentrate up the food change, it dilutes up the food chain. So while Japanese fishermen fear this strategy of release from a public relations perspective, their fish will still test negative with respect to food radiation limits and their packaged fish sold at market would still carry the official ‘safe’ stickers. So it all comes down to perception and fear. We as scientists can give you the answers, but you can ignore them if you want, especially since non-scientists make these decisions anyway.

  382. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  386. Some Israeli organizations have expressed that it is improper and offensive for them for what Korean/Chinese activists are attempting to compare the issue of Comfort Women to the wrongdoing done by Nazi-Germany “The actions of Japan in the occupied countries were thoroughly investigated after the war. The guilty parties faced an international tribunal in Tokyo. Though one of the judges, Justice R.B. Pal from India, found some of the charges excessive and issued a dissenting opinion, Japan accepted the findings and the verdict in an agreement signed after the end of the American occupation in 1952. At no point during the trial was the alleged government conspiracy to enslave sexually 200,000 women brought to the judges’ attention and it is impossible to assume that they would overlook something so important. The issue of the army brothels was investigated by the American authorities. Declassified documents show that the conclusion was that in most cases they employed paid prostitutes. Again, there was no sex slave conspiracy uncovered. In the 1960’s, Japan negotiated a reparations settlement with South Korea, signed in 1965. Consequently, a large sum was paid in full in several installments. During that period, South Korea didn’t raise the “comfort women” issue, and neither did China. That happened only in 1991.” -Israel Friendship association

  387. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen.

  388. ⚫︎Contemporary U.S. Military Sources One primary source is Report No. 49, U.S. Office of War Information, dated October 1, 1944. This is an interrogation report of 20 Korean comfort women in Burma. This report clearly states: A “comfort woman” is nothing more than a pros**tute or professional camp follower. ⚫︎Allied Translator Records and Captured Japanese Documents Another primary source is found in the ATIS (Allied Translator/Interpreter Section) Research Report No. 120. It says, “Amenities of the Japanese Armed Forces,” dated November 15, 1945. Among them are the following: From a captured Japanese document, “Rules for Restaurants and Houses of Pros**tution,” dated February 1943: MANILA: “Persons receiving permission to open business [comfort station] will…submit…copy of personal histories of employees….” “Permission is necessary before anyone joins the establishment.” SHANGHAI SECTOR: “The pros**tutes will possess licenses….” “Unlicensed pros**tutes are strictly prohibited from plying their trade.” “The pros**tute and the operator will share equally the proceeds of the work done by the pros**tute.” “Tacloban Brothel Regulations,” undated: “Places called brothels in these regulations are special brothels operated with Filipino women (licensed pros**tutes).” ⚫︎Foreign Ministry Documents on Comfort Stations Japanese Foreign Ministry documents from the wartime era were also captured and are among the primary sources available. These include: Consul General Reports on the Status of Countrymen and Businesses in Chinese Cities: Report on Jiujian (sic) Consulate Report No. 561, 11/8/38; Nanchang (sic) Report No. 217, 8/9/39; Chiahu (sic) Report No. 170, 8/2/39 All of these reports list comfort stations, together with other commercial businesses, not as something special. Operators are listed as civilians. Countrymen are identified as Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese. There is no mention of any comfort station operated by military personnel. Another document, the “Report by Governor General of Guangdong (sic), Report No. 37, 3/15/41,” also lists comfort stations with other businesses run by Japanese, Taiwanese, and Koreans. All comfort stations with Korean women were operated by Koreans, Japanese women by Japanese. There is not even a hint of military guards.

  389. A Taiwanese eye witness commenting about the time when Taiwan was under the rule of Japan. "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a collaborator So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

  391.  @abhinavthakur7910  Don’t be fooled by malicious propaganda. Korean owners made huge profit by operating comfort stations. [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

  402. Kim Bok-Dong said that she worked as a comfort woman for 8 years until 1948 but WW2 ended in 1945. -IJA didn’t exist after WW2. Japan participated in the WW2 in 1939 -1945-1939=6 years In her speech, 9/18/2013 in France, She said that her human rights was violated by IJA in “Korean war”. -There is no IJA during the Korean war. Her human rights was likely violated by UN/US soldiers. 122 former Korean comfort women served for the UN/US soldiers sued their government in 2014. While Korean comfort women who sued Japan were only 9 in 199. It means the US had more sex slaves than Japan.

  404. As academics, we are used to dealing with exagge:rations. We are not used to finding that the story is pure fiction. But that is the nature of the comfort-women-se*x-slave story. It’s been a bizarrely unending story. Elderly Korean women claim to have been forced at Japanese bayonet-point to work as sex slaves. The Japanese government replies that the Korean government waived claims like this by treaty in 1965. But it expresses sympathy anyway, and offers more money. Koreans still complain. The Japanese government apologizes again, offers more money, and the Korean government promises never to raise the question again. Then a new political party takes power, declares the Japanese apology insincere, and starts the process all over again. Expressing sympathy to elderly women who have had a rough life is fine. Paying money to an ally in order to rebuild a stable relationship is fine. But the claims about enslaved Korean comfort women are historically untrue. The Japanese army did not dragoon Korean women to work in its brothels. It did not use Korean women as s*ex slaves. The claims to the contrary are simply ー factually ー false. -HARVARD university JOHN M. OLIN CENTER FOR LAW, ECONOMICS, AND BUSINESS

  405. Kim said she has never received an apology from Japan, which is a flat-out lie. The truth is that comfort women's organization “Korean council” embezzle donations, force comfort women to lie, obstruct reconciliation with Japan, so that they can continue the comfort women propaganda. Japan has apologized many times and paid huge amounts of atonement money to the Korean women, but the Korean government has not given it to the women. *Japan-South Korea Treaty of 1965 During treaty negotiations, the Japanese government asked the S Korean government to identify and separate individual claims from the treaty because the Japanese government wanted to make sure the survivors received compensation. The South Korean government declined and accepted the entire sum of 800 million dollars (over ten billion dollars in today's money) in place of its citizens and spent all of it on infrastructures. Therefore it is not reasonable for the South Korean government to keep asking for additional compensation from Japan. And their claim that they were forced into pros**tution is also a lie. A Korean professor interviewed the Korean women in 2003. After the interview professor commented: “I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean spi*es) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.”

  407.  @sroytrang1447  A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen.

  408.  @sroytrang1447  1953 Jul 21 - "Country Girls Lured into Pros**tution" July 7, 1953 article from the South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo describes a typical means by which innocent Korean girls were lured into pros***ution. That is, they are promised a good job, put into debt, and then forced to pay back the debt by working as pros**tutes. “When I was in South Korea in the navy in the late 1970s, the typical method was to put ads promising high-paying waitress jobs in cheap magazines. When girls showed up, they were given a furnished apartment to put them in high-interest debt, which their waitress salaries would never be able to pay off, which forced them into prostitution. At that time a person could not walk away from debt or declare personal bankruptcy.” . Country Girls Lured into Prost**ution Go Ok-i (高玉伊), a 53-year-old woman who lives at No. 83 on 3rd Street in the Cho Ryang-dong area of Hanmok City, was operating a comfort woman business for UN servicemen until she suspended operations because of financial difficulties. Then on the 3rd of this month, with the intention of reopenning her business, Ms. Go had her maid, Im Mi-ja (林미子), lure five virgins, including 15-year-old Gang Pil-yeon (姜必連) of Jinju City (at No. 888 in Tongbong-dong), to Busan with promises of getting them jobs in the 34th Military Hospital. Telling the girls that they would need to wear "high-class" clothes if they expected to be hired, Ms. Go gave each of the six girls an advance of 5,000 hwan worth of high-class clothing with the idea of putting them to work as comfort women. However, she was detected by police authorities prior to that, and on the 7th, Ms. Go and Ms. Im were undergoing intense questioning at the Investigation Section of the Busan Police Department.

As the report states: “An evidence of Korean victims of sex slavery of imperial Japanese Army was found at US National Archives” Korean media gave promonent coverage of it. But that was made up. Original film was silent but narration was added in 2017 to make it looks like real. In reality, US National archives description says that they are “CHINESE pros**tutes captured by KMT” They also were being untruthful when they told their self-proclaimed effort about spending 2 years going to national archives for research.

  418. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one.

  420. 1959 Oct 19 Donga Ilbo - "66% of Comfort Women Infected" October 19, 1959 ab article from the South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo. It is entitled "66% of Comfort Women Infected--Results of a Nationwide Testing of Female Entertainers." The article talks about how nationwide 392,707 female entertainers, including 261,089 comfort women, were tested for venereal disease over a 1-year period. The article is evidence that in 1959 Korea was registering women to be "comfort women," which was a euphemism for "military pros**tute." Korea was registering women to be pros***utes for UN soldiers stationed in Korea. The 261,089 comfort woment mentioned in the article is evidence that Korea had a significant number of comfort women, of which 66.4% were infected with a veneral disease. In the 1990s South Koreans begin criticizing Japan for its comfort women system in World War II, but have hardly said anything about its own comfort women system If Koreans thoght the Japanese comfort women system was so bad, why did the Korean Government set up a similar 'comfort women' system for UN soldiers after the Japanese left Korea?

Between the end of the Korean War and the early 1990s, more than one and half million SK women were caught up in a state-controlled pros**tution (comfort women) industry that was blessed at the highest levels by the U.S. military.

  430. [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

  433. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traffickers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros***ute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict” - Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  439. Kim said she has never received an apology from Japan, which is a flat-out lie. The truth is that comfort women's organization “Korean council” embezzle donations, force comfort women to lie, obstruct reconciliation with Japan, so that they can continue the comfort women propaganda. Japan has apologized many times and paid huge amounts of atonement money to the Korean women, but the Korean government has not given it to the women. *Japan-South Korea Treaty of 1965 During treaty negotiations, the Japanese government asked the S Korean government to identify and separate individual claims from the treaty because the Japanese government wanted to make sure the survivors received compensation. The South Korean government declined and accepted the entire sum of 800 million dollars (over ten billion dollars in today's money) in place of its citizens and spent all of it on infrastructures. Therefore it is not reasonable for the South Korean government to keep asking for additional compensation from Japan. And their claim that they were forced into pros**tution is also a lie. A Korean professor interviewed the Korean women in 2003. After the interview professor commented: “I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean spi*es) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.”

  442. Dutch government officially announced that “Dutch government regards the Comfort women system primarily as pros**tution.” 1994 — The Bart von Poelgeest Report “The study by Dr. Poelgeest, then an officer of the Ministry of Interior of the Netherlands, was commissioned by the Dutch government in 1993. It is a comprehensive report on the recruitment, voluntary, of European women for pros**tution in the Dutch East Indies during the Japanese occupation in World War II. It also briefly touches upon recruitment of local women although that is not the focus of the study. There was nothing in the report to indicate a policy or practice of mass abd*uction of women, European or locals, as comfort women.” “During the war in China in the 1930s, the occurrence of venereal disease among the troops had led to problems with deployment and the Japanese military forces therefore decided to set up military brothels as a preventive measure. In addition to local women, Japanese and Korean women – Korea being part of the Japanese Empire – were recruited for the brothels in China.” “There’s no mass abdu*ction” ‪”Korean couple had lured European women to the establishment under false pretences.” “In practice, it was the local military commanders who had to draw up regulations on the establishment of military brothels in their territory. The chief of staff of the 16th army on Java and thus head of the military administration there decided that a license was required for the establishment of a military brothel. A license was issued only if certain conditions were met, relating to, for example, regular medical check-ups and payment. A further precondition was that the women working in the brothels had to do so voluntarily; according to the regulations, a license would only be issued if the women involved signed a statement to the effect that they were providing their service voluntarily.”

Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women.

Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abd*ucted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council.

Özet: Batı'da garip bir "anlatı" benimsedik."1930'ların ve 1940'ların Japon ordusu, yazdığımız gibi, 200.000 çoğunlukla Koreli genç kızı "konfor istasyonları" olarak adlandırılan "tecavüz kamplarına" zorla çekti."Birisi hikayeyi sorgularsa, kişiyi özetle "inkarcı" statüsüne göndeririz. Bu garip bir fenomen yaratır. Teselli kadınlarından sadece birkaçı zorla işe alındığını iddia ediyor ve bazıları Japonya'ya karşı tazminat kampanyası başlamadan önce farklı bir hikaye anlattı. Güçlü bir solcu bağlı, huzurevini işletir, kimi görebileceklerini kontrol eder ve başka bir şey söyleyebilecek herhangi bir kadını kötüleştirir. Aslında, hiç kimse Japon ordusunun herhangi bir Koreli kadını zorla bir konfor istasyonuna götürdüğüne dair herhangi bir belgesel kanıt bulamadı. Ve Koreli akademisyenler Ortodoks hesabını sorguladıklarında, kendi hükümetleri bazen onları cezai iftira için kovuşturuyor - gerçekten de, geçen sonbaharda bir heterodoks profesörü altı ay hapis cezasına çarptırdı -- Akademisyenler olarak abartılarla uğraşmaya alışkınız. Hikayenin saf kurgu olduğunu bulmaya alışkın değiliz. Ama bu comfort-women-se * x-slave hikayesinin doğasıdır. Garip bir şekilde bitmeyen bir hikaye oldu. Yaşlı Koreli kadınlar, Japon süngü noktasında seks kölesi olarak çalışmak zorunda kaldıklarını iddia ediyorlar. Japon hükümeti, Kore hükümetinin 1965'te yapılan bir anlaşma ile benzer iddialardan vazgeçtiğini söylüyor. Ama yine de sempati ifade eder ve daha fazla para sunar. Koreliler hala şikayet ediyor. Japon hükümeti tekrar özür diliyor, daha fazla para sunuyor ve Kore hükümeti bu soruyu bir daha asla gündeme getirmeyeceğine söz veriyor. Sonra yeni bir siyasi parti iktidarı ele geçirir, Japon özrünü samimiyetsiz ilan eder ve süreci yeniden başlatır. Zor bir hayatı olan yaşlı kadınlara sempati duymak iyidir. İstikrarlı bir ilişkiyi yeniden inşa etmek için bir müttefike para ödemek iyidir. Ancak köleleştirilmiş Koreli konfor kadınları hakkındaki iddialar tarihsel olarak doğru değildir. Japon ordusu Koreli kadınları genelevlerinde çalışmaya sürüklemedi. Koreli kadınları seks kölesi olarak kullanmadı. Aksi yöndeki iddialar tamamen gerçeklere dayalı izleme-izleme yanlış. - Harvard Üniversitesi

  450. @Jay Philip Seo The world is starting to realize K-lies “As academics, we are used to dealing with exagge:rations. We are not used to finding that the story is pure fiction. But that is the nature of the comfort-women-se*x-slave story. It’s been a bizarrely unending story. Elderly Korean women claim to have been forced at Japanese bayonet-point to work as sex slaves. The Japanese government replies that the Korean government waived claims like this by treaty in 1965. But it expresses sympathy anyway, and offers more money. Koreans still complain. The Japanese government apologizes again, offers more money, and the Korean government promises never to raise the question again. Then a new political party takes power, declares the Japanese apology insincere, and starts the process all over again. Expressing sympathy to elderly women who have had a rough life is fine. Paying money to an ally in order to rebuild a stable relationship is fine. But the claims about enslaved Korean comfort women are historically untrue. The Japanese army did not dragoon Korean women to work in its brothels. It did not use Korean women as s*ex slaves. The claims to the contrary are simply ー factually ー false.” -HARVARD university JOHN M. OLIN CENTER FOR LAW, ECONOMICS, AND BUSINESS

  451. -Coaching comfort women and stage-managing testimonies at the UN Tachi saw one other important thing during the UN conference. When she got lost and was wandering through the huge building where the meeting was taking place, she stumbled upon a room where people were gathering. Here, former comfort women who were testifying on a stage were being prompted and trained on how to deliver their lines. Unsurprisingly, the people who were stage-managing the whole operation were Japanese women (naturalized ethnic Korean lawmaker and activists who have cloth ties with com:munists). In this manner, the former comfort women were being trained as living witnesses to serve the movement.

  452. The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father."

Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet.

  453. Have you watched Lee Yon-Soo’s lie? Check my saved video Lee Yong-soo filmed in 1992 is now found, in which she testified that she became Comfort Woman just because she followed a man who gave her a dress and shoes, NOT because she was tricked or abducted by force by Imperial Japanese Army. The footage filmed on Aug 15th, 1992 at KBS. That seems a little bit ironic that the announcer reconfirmed that she became Comfort Woman NOT because she was abd*ucted by force by Imperial Japanese Army, but she just followed a man by her own will. —— ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched.

  456. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen.

  459.  @claudel1027  Did you know Comfort women means military pros**titutes and Korean soldiers also frequented the comfort station? Comment from Korean 한국의 역사 인식은 처참하기 그지 없는 상황입니다. 얼마 전 하버드 로스쿨 교수가 위안부는 매춘부이며, 일본 정부에 의해 납치된 사람들이 아니라는 주장을 담은 논문을 발표했습니다.  이에 대한 한국 사회의 반응은 참담한 수준이더군요. 기사만 봐도 그 교수가 어렸을 때 일본에 살았다는 점을 부각시키고, 일본에서 훈장을 받았다는 사실만이 나왔을 뿐입니다. 이건 그냥 우물에 독을 뿌리는 원천봉쇄의 오류일 뿐이죠. 그 교수는 친일파라고만 우기면 끝인가요?  이건 나치가 아인슈타인의 상대성이론을 가지고 유대인의 물리학이라고 비난한 거랑 다를 게 없죠. 객관적이고 제 3자가 봐도 설득력이 있는 주장이 아닙니다. 그리고 위안부 문제에 대해 그렇게 열을 올리고 일본에게 저주를 퍼부으면서 정작 우리나라가 운영했던 국군 위안부와 양공주에 대해서는 입도 뻥끗 안 하고 있죠.  이런 이중적인 태도로 일본을 비난하는 건 단순히 반일감정을 대중선동의 도구로 이용할 뿐, 실제로 피해자들에 대한 사죄와 반성의 의미가 아니라는 거죠. 일본의 2차대전의 전쟁범죄에 대해 난리난리를 치면서 고압적인 태도로 일관하지만, 실제로 한국은 전후 추축국의 부역국으로 분류됐고, 일본의 전쟁범죄에 한국인들도 가담했습니다. 이를 징병으로 인해 어쩔 수 없었다라고 우겨봤자 이미 자원병 제도와 자원입대 경쟁률 때문에 안 먹혀요. 한국이 일본에게 2차대전 전쟁범죄로 난리치는 건 오스트리아나 헝가리가 독일에게 전쟁범죄에 대해 따지는 거랑 다를 게 없는 거죠.  이런 사실도 모르고 무슨 일본 사람들한테 사죄하라고 난리치는 거 보면 너무 부끄럽더군요. 아울러 일본을 무슨 불구대천의 원수로 여기는데, 실상 한국인들을 가장 많이 죽인 사람들은 일본이 아니라 중국과 북한이에요. 하지만 일본에는 그렇게 악랄한 욕을 퍼부으면서 중국과 북한에는 한없이 너그럽더군요. 이해가 가나요? 저는 전혀 이해가 안 가는데요. —- 위안부 문제에 대해서 지금 쟁점이 되는 부분은 일본 정부의 강제적인 납치가 존재했느냐입니다. 여기에 대해 일본 정부가 개입했다는 증거는 아직까지 나오지 않났어요. 가령 신안 염전 노예 문제를 예로 들면, 신안 군청이 인신매매에 개입했다고 할 수 있나요? 아니면 인신매매범들이 사적으로 저지른 범죄였나요? 과거 집창촌에서 일하던 성매매 여성들도 성매매에 자기가 자발적으로 참여한 경우보다 빚 때문에 혹은 인신매매로 팔려와서 성착취를 당하던 경우가 많았습니다. 위안부 문제에서도 피해자들이 조선인 인신매매범에게 속아 팔려온 케이스들이 존재해요. 증거 자료도 명확하구요.

  460.  @이수현-x9z  U.S. military report dated October 1, 1944. This report is accurate except where it says "Japanese agents recruited women and Japanese housemasters operated comfort stations." It should have said "ethnic Korean agents recruited Korean women and Korean housemasters operated comfort stations." The U.S. military interrogator thought they were Japanese because their surnames were Japanese. Actually the ethnic Koreans were Japanese citizens at the time, so the report might have referred to them as "Japanese agents" and "Japanese housemasters" for that reason.

Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 2.5 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995(Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women.

  463.  @storylistener8185  1953 Jul 21 - "Country Girls Lured into Pros**tution" This July 7, 1953 article from the South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo describes a typical means by which innocent Korean girls were lured into pros**tution. That is, they are promised a good job, put into debt, and then forced to pay back the debt by working as pros**tutes. “When I was in South Korea in the navy in the late 1970s, the typical method was to put ads promising high-paying waitress jobs in cheap magazines. When girls showed up, they were given a furnished apartment to put them in high-interest debt, which their waitress salaries would never be able to pay off, which forced them into pros**tution. At that time a person could not walk away from debt or declare personal bankruptcy.” Here is translation of the article. Country Girls Lured into Pros**ution Go Ok-i (高玉伊), a 53-year-old woman who lives at No. 83 on 3rd Street in the Cho Ryang-dong area of Hanmok City, was operating a comfort woman business for UN servicemen until she suspended operations because of financial difficulties. Then on the 3rd of this month, with the intention of reopenning her business, Ms. Go had her maid, Im Mi-ja (林미子), lure five virgins, including 15-year-old Gang Pil-yeon (姜必連) of Jinju City (at No. 888 in Tongbong-dong), to Busan with promises of getting them jobs in the 34th Military Hospital. Telling the girls that they would need to wear "high-class" clothes if they expected to be hired, Ms. Go gave each of the six girls an advance of 5,000 hwan worth of high-class clothing with the idea of putting them to work as comfort women. However, she was detected by police authorities prior to that, and on the 7th, Ms. Go and Ms. Im were undergoing intense questioning at the Investigation Section of the Busan Police Department.

The Japanese government at that time offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

Check out this from the Australian War Memorial: "Saraburi, Thailand. September 1945. K guards, members of the Japanese Imperial Army, lined up for an identification parade. The K were amongst the most brutal of the guards encountered by Allied prisoners of war (POWs) working on the Burma-Thailand railway.

  469. 【放射危機】大亜湾の放射性物質排出上限は福島の10倍です 出典:中国生態環境省、香港原子力投資公社 ——- 【幅射危機】大亞灣放射物質排放上限 遠超日本福島10倍 日本政府在周二(13日)提出，決定把福島核電廠積存的核廢水，在兩年後經稀釋後排落大海，而經處理的廢水將主要包含一種「氚」放射性物質。事件連日引來中國不斷批評，但距離香港只有50公里的大亞灣核電站，放射性物質「氚」的排放上限，竟然比日本福島的排放標準高出10倍。 據早前日本政府公布，福島核電廠積存的核廢水在經過稀釋後，每年最多排放22兆貝克的液態氚，濃度亦會稀釋到每升1500貝克，即是世衛飲用水標準的七分一。但中國國內資料顯示，鄰近香港的大亞灣核電站每年的液態氚排放上限達到225兆貝克，是福島未來每年排放量的10倍。 而據香港核電投資公司 (HKNIC) 數據顯示，過去10年大亞灣核電站的液態氚排放量平均為上限的20%，即是約49.5兆貝克，與日本政府訂出的標準比較，是超出一倍有多。此外，中國其他地區核電廠的液態氚排放量也較福島核電廠高，包括秦山核電廠、福建福清核電廠等。 「氚」是一種帶有放射性，能量雖高但穿透力弱的放射性物質，是氫的同位素之一。「氚」不會穿透人體，僅影響空氣中數厘米的範圍。一般情況下，飲用含氚的水才可能會對人體造成一定傷害，但「氚」在人體的半衰期只有7至18日，即使直接吸收了，每過14日殘留身體的劑量都會減半。 資料來源：中國生態環境部、香港核電投資公司

  470.  @wildec2  Based on a detailed investigation of all the facts and supported by the testimony of the surviving Japanese leaders involved, it is the Survey’s opinion that certainly prior to 31 December 1945 and in all probability prior to 1 November 1945, Japan would have surrendered even if the atomic bombs had not been dropped, even if Russia had not entered the war, and even if no invasion had been planned or contemplated. That was a conclusion of the 1946 U.S. Bombing Survey ordered by President Harry Truman in the wake of World War II. Gen. Dwight Eisenhower said in 1963, “ the Japanese were ready to surrender and it wasn’t necessary to hit them with that awful thing.”

The Japanese deputy secretary testified that the Korean lawmakers asked Japanese government:“Once Japan apologized, we will never ask apology and compensation again. Please apologize in order to build a better relationships between Korea and Japan.” The deputy secretary regretfully said: “Japanese government was deceived by the Korean government. We apologized baselessly, without doing proper investigation. At that time, we thought that we needed to throw alleged victims a lifeline immediately. We believed the Korean government’s faith but good intention of the Japanese government didn’t get through to them.” This video describes communication between Japanese and Korean government. https://youtu.be/eMfW9_ppNCs

  477. A Chinese group recruited a Philippines human rights organization in secretly working to have this statue erected without the knowledge of the foreign ministry, and with little detail given to the host city government. A historical commission seemed to have coordinated with the women’s group, but is now pointing fingers after having issued a permit faster than it usually does. One of the commission’s members said that the local human rights group Lila Pilipina and other organizations started to work on the comfort woman statue in 2014, and that these groups came to the commission in October of 2017, requesting the inscription to be made. Lila Pilipina is the same group that brought South Korean comfort women activism to the Philippines in the 1990s. Open Only to Chinese Media The names of five individuals and groups are inscribed on the back of the pedestal as donors. Almost all of them are Chinese. Also inscribed, in English, is “Statue of a Filipino Comfort Woman,” along with the name of the Filipino maker of the statue. We asked several people who stopped to look at the statue whether they had ever heard of comfort women before. Not a single person was able to say who the comfort women were. The Wai Ming Charitable Foundation Fund Company Limited, appearing last on the pedestal donor list, is a Hong Kong-based organization whose founder, Chung Wai Ming, is believed to have supported comfort women relief on the Chinese mainland as well as the demands for reparations from Japan. Chinese anti-Japan propaganda, which makes full use of the overseas Chinese network under the “comfort women” banner, was also undertaken in 2015 in Australia. However, the petition to erect a comfort woman statue in a public place was not recognized there on the grounds that it was outside the purview of the local city government to make decisions on such matters. - Foreign Ministry Didn’t Know: Chinese Hand Seen in Comfort Women Statue in Manila

In reality, it is deeper. The key player is increasingly not South Korea, but China, and the ultimate target is not Japan, but the United States, as the comfort women are co-opted by Beijing in its anti-American information war” “An example of the first is the comfort woman statue that mysteriously appeared in Manila in 2017. An investigation by the Sankei Shimbun revealed that the statue project was orchestrated by Overseas Chinese groups in the Philippines, including the Wai Ming Charitable Trust Foundation Company – long a front for politicizing the comfort women issue in mainland China.”

  479.  @denonde1313  [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school. —-

  483. An article in Korean newspaper Kyunghyang Shinmun (경향신문 京郷新聞) on June 6, 1977. It says that a Korean comfort station owner traff//cked dozens of Korean comfort women to Rabaul, Papua New Guinea to provide s*x to Japanese soldiers there during World War II. It was common knowledge in S Korea until the 1970s that Korean comfort station owners recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations, and no S Koreans contested that notion. Then Japanese newspaper published a series of fabricated articles in the 1980's falsely accusing Japanese military of abducting Korean comfort women. S Korean communists with close ties to N Korea thought this was a great opportunity to discredit Japan and block reconciliation between Japan and S Korea. So they formed the anti-Japan lobby group in 1990 and began spreading comfort women lies worldwide.

"Japonya'nın Kore'ye karşı işlediği iddia edilen suçlarla ilgili en sık tekrarlanan ve en çarpık efsanelerden biri, sözde “konfor kadınları" ile ilgilidir” Almanya Japonya doğru olmasa da “suçlarını telafi” olduğunu sonunda hakkındaki iddialar. Sadece bir yönü düşünmeme izin verin. 1965'te Kore hükümeti Park Chung-hee, iki ülke arasındaki ilişkileri normalleştiren Japonya ile bir anlaşma imzaladı. Antlaşma uyarınca Güney Kore, Japon egemenliğinin kurbanları için çok büyük miktarda ekonomik yardım, hibe, kredi ve önemli ölçüde tazminat aldı. (Japon hükümeti ulusal bütçenin 2,5 katını tazminat olarak ödedi, ancak Kore'de 40 yıl boyunca Japonya'ya karşı nefreti kışkırtmak için gizli tuttu ve Kore hükümeti gerçeği gizlemeye devam ediyor. Tüm bireysel iddialar 1965 Japonya-Güney Kore Antlaşması'nda çözülmesine rağmen, Japon hükümeti Koreli kadınlara birkaç kez iyi bir jest olarak tazminat teklif etti. Bununla birlikte, Japonya 1995 yılında Asya kadın Fonu aracılığıyla tazminat teklif ettiğinde(tazminat, Japonya Başbakanı'ndan kişisel bir özür mektubu ile geldi), Güney Koreli STK, eski konfor kadınlarını Japonya'nın özürünü ve tazminatını kabul etmemekle tehdit etti. STK'NIN emrine meydan okuyanların 61'i hain olarak doğrulandı, isimleri ve adresleri gazetelerde fahişe olarak yayınlandı ve hayatlarının geri kalanını utanç içinde yaşamak zorunda kaldılar. Güney Kore hükümeti, 2015 yılında konfor kadınları konusunda Japonya-Kore anlaşması imzaladı ve Japon hükümeti eski Koreli konfor kadınlarına kefaret parası olarak 1 milyar dolar ödedi. Ancak, Kore Moon Jae In yönetimi, 2018'de herhangi bir bildirimde bulunmaksızın anlaşmayı terk etti. Fesih duyurusu Japonya için tamamen kabul edilemez. Cumhurbaşkanı Moon Jae-in de dahil olmak üzere ROK Hükümeti, defalarca “anlaşmayı terk etmeyeceğini” ve “Japonya ile yeniden müzakere istemeyeceğini " belirtti”) - O sırada Japon hükümeti bireysel kurbanları telafi etmeyi teklif etti, ancak Güney Kore hükümeti teklifi reddetti ve tüm parayı alması ve vatandaşlarını telafi etmesi konusunda ısrar etti. Bu paranın çok azı (sadece 250 ABD doları) bireylere ödendi ve bunun yerine Güney Kore'nin ekonomik gelişimi için kullanıldı. Japon hükümeti, konfor kadın sistemi için özür diledi (aslında savaştan önce hem Kore hem de Japonya'da var olan ve çok sayıda Japon fahişenin yanı sıra diğer ülkelerden gelenleri de içeren lisanslı fuhuş sisteminin bir uzantısıydı), Almanya hiçbir zaman özür dilemedi veya eski fahişelere herhangi bir tazminat ödemedi. Aslında, hiç kimse böyle bir şey talep etmedi, çünkü işgal altındaki ülkelerde haklı ya da yanlış bir şekilde işbirlikçi olarak görülen bu kadınlar hiçbir zaman destekçi ya da savunucu bulamadılar” - Profesör Andrzej Kozlowski, Varşova Üniversitesi

Koreli kadınları işe alan ve konfor istasyonlarını işleten erkeklerin “tüm Koreli” olduğunu ve BM özel Raportöründen önce ifade veren Koreli kadınların Kore Konseyi adına yalan söylediğini söyledi. Former eski bir Koreli konfor kadın mun Oku-chu anılarında söyledi: "Koreli bir konfor istasyonu sahibi tarafından işe alındım. Bahşişlerden önemli miktarda para biriktirdim, bu yüzden bir tasarruf hesabı açtım. Tasarruf hesabımda bu kadar çok paraya sahip olabileceğime inanamadım. Arkadaşlarımdan biri birçok mücevher topladı, bu yüzden gittim ve bir elmas aldım. Sık sık Japon filmlerini izlemeye gittim ve oyuncuların anakara Japonya'dan geldiği Kabuki oyunları. Rangoon'da popüler bir kadın oldum. Rangoon'da cephe hatlarından çok daha fazla subay vardı, bu yüzden birçok partiye davet edildim. Partilerde şarkı söyledim ve çok fazla ipucu aldım. Bir çift yüksek topuklu ayakkabı, yeşil bir ceket giydim ve timsah derisinden bir çanta taşıdım. Modaya uygun bir elbiseyle dolaştım. Kasabadaki hiç kimse benim rahat bir kadın olduğumu tahmin edemezdi. Çok mutlu ve gururlu hissettim. Eve dönmek için izin aldım ama Kore'ye dönmek istemedim. Rangoon'da kalmak istedim." Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e göre, mun Oku-chu savaştan sonra Kore'de fahişe olarak çalışmaya devam etti. Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. Koreli hankyoreh gazetesine verdiği röportajda (artcile 15 Mayıs 1991'de yayınlandı) eski bir Koreli konfor kadını kim hak-sun annesi tarafından satıldığını söyledi. 1993'te kim Hak-sun, Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e şunları söyledi: "annem beni Pyongyang'da bir Kiseng olarak eğitmeye gönderdi ve sonra beni sattı." Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. 1993'te eski bir Koreli konfor kadını kim gun-ja, Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e şunları söyledi: "üvey babam tarafından satıldım."

Kim Gun-ja ayrıca 2007 yılında Amerika Birleşik Devletleri Dışişleri Temsilciler Meclisi Komitesinde ifade verdi ve Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını söyledi. 1993'te eski bir Koreli konfor kadını Lee Yong-soo, Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e şunları söyledi: "o zamanlar perişan giyinmiş ve sefildim. Anneme söylemeden arkadaşım kim Pun-sun ile evden ayrıldığım gün, siyah bir etek, pamuklu bir gömlek ve ayaklarımın üzerinde tahta takunya giyiyordum. Koreli bir işverenden kırmızı bir elbise ve bir çift deri ayakkabı aldığımda ne kadar memnun olduğumu bilmiyorsun." Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. Lee Yong-soo da 2007 yılında Dışişleri Birleşik Devletleri ev Komitesi önünde ifade verdi. Konuşmak için beş dakikası olduğu söylendi. Talimatı görmezden geldi ve bir saatten fazla bir süre ağlama ve çığlık atma performansına devam etti. Onun yanlış ifadesi, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri Temsilciler Meclisi'nin 121 sayılı kararının kabulüne yol açtı. 2017 yılında Lee Yong-soo, San Francisco şehir Konseyi'nden önce yanlış ifadeler verdi ve bu da o şehirde bir konfor kadın heykelinin kurulmasıyla sonuçlandı. San Francisco Eyalet Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Chunghee Sarah Soh'a göre, eski bir Koreli konfor kadını Moon pil-ki, bir Koreli konfor istasyonu sahibinin ajanı tarafından işe alındı ve diğer dört kadınla birlikte mançurya'ya götürüldü. Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. 1993'te eski bir Koreli konfor kadını olan kil won-ok, Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e şunları söyledi: "ailem tarafından satıldım."

Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik, " 1990'ların başında eski konfor kadınlarıyla röportaj yaptığımda, hiçbirinin Japon ordusu hakkında söyleyecek kötü bir şeyi yoktu. Onları satan ebeveynlerinden ve onlara kötü davranan Koreli konfor istasyonu sahiplerinden nefret ediyorlardı. Ancak Kore Konseyi onları maaşlarına koyduktan sonra, ifadeleri tamamen değişti." Koreli Konsey'in maaşına katılmayı reddeden eski Koreli kadın sim mi-ja şunları söyledi: "BM özel Raportöründen önce ifade veren Koreli kadınlar Kore Konseyi adına yalan söyledi.

Um de meus amigos juntou muitos joias, por isso comprei um diamante. Costumava ver filmes japoneses e peças de Kabuki em que os jogadores vinham do Japão. Tornei-me uma mulher popular em Rangum. Havia muito mais oficiais em Rangum do que perto da linha de frente, por isso fui convidado para muitas festas. Cantei canções em festas e recebi muitas dicas. Coloquei um par de sapatos de salto alto, um casaco verde e carregava uma bolsa de couro de crocodilo. Eu andava com um vestido da moda. Ninguém na cidade Eu poderia imaginar que eu era uma mulher reconfortante. Eu me senti muito feliz e orgulhosa. Recebi permissão para voltar para casa, mas não queria voltar para a Coréia.

  489. Não caia na propaganda da Coreia do Norte/ CCP [Diário escrito por trabalhador coreano em postos de conforto na Birmânia, Singapura encontrado] O diário escrito por um coreano que trabalha em bordéis em tempo de guerra na Birmânia, que foi encontrado na Coreia do Sul. SEOUL -- Foi recentemente encontrado um diário escrito por um coreano que trabalha em bordéis de guerra na Birmânia (actual Myanmar) e Singapura durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, uma descoberta que poderia lançar luz sobre a verdade por detrás do papel do Exército Imperial Japonês em polémicas estações de conforto para os soldados japoneses. O homem coreano participou no "4º corpo de conforto" que deixou Busan Port na Península Coreana em 1942. Regressou a casa em finais de 1944. O seu diário é o primeiro do género encontrado no Japão, na Coreia do Sul e noutros locais. Sobre a questão das chamadas "mulheres de conforto" para o Exército Imperial japonês durante a guerra, muitos dos testemunhos foram feitos várias décadas após o fim da guerra. O diário escrito pelo homem coreano - uma terceira pessoa que tinha efectivamente testemunhado bordéis em tempo de guerra - é material importante para preparar o caminho para as discussões de cabeça fria sobre a espinhosa questão. O diário foi descoberto por Ahn Byong Jik, professor emérito da Universidade de Seul, especialista em história económica coreana moderna e conhecedor da questão do conforto das mulheres. Um museu nos subúrbios de Seul encontrou um diário e outros materiais numa livraria em segunda mão há cerca de 10 anos. Ahn encontrou o diário enquanto penteava os materiais. O diário foi escrito pelo homem de Kyongsang-namdo na parte ocidental da Península Coreana enquanto trabalhava nos bordéis do tempo de guerra de 1943 a 1944. Foi escrito em caracteres chineses, katakana e alfabetos coreanos. O homem nasceu em 1905 e morreu em 1979. O seu diário escrito de 1922 a 1957 pode ser visto hoje. No diário, o homem escreveu a 10 de Julho de 1943: "Nesta altura, no ano passado, embarquei num navio no Busan Wharf e dei um primeiro passo na viagem rumo ao sul". A 6 de Abril de 1944, escreveu: "Quando um pelotão de conforto deixou Busan há dois anos, o Sr. Tsumura que veio como chefe do quarto corpo de conforto estava a trabalhar (num mercado)". Um relatório de pesquisa compilado em Novembro de 1945 por soldados norte-americanos que interrogaram gestores de postos de conforto apanhados na Birmânia diz que 703 mulheres de conforto e cerca de 90 operadores comerciais deixaram Busan Port a 10 de Julho de 1942. A exactidão da sua agenda é apoiada pelo facto de a data da sua partida ser a mesma. Ahn diz: "É certo que os registos compilados pelo exército dos EUA se referem ao quarto corpo de conforto". Ao contrário da opinião geralmente defendida na Coreia do Sul de que as mulheres de conforto eram recrutadas à força pelos militares e polícia japoneses, Ahn diz: "As mulheres de conforto foram recrutadas por operadores comerciais na Coreia, e não havia necessidade de os militares as raptarem". No diário, o homem tocou nas relações entre as estações de conforto, as mulheres de conforto e os militares. Ele escreveu a 19 de Julho de 1943: "Dois postos de conforto que pertencem a um corpo voador foram entregues ao comando logístico". A 29 de Julho de 1943, escreveu: "Ouvi dizer que Haruyo e Hiroko que tinham partido (um posto de conforto) para terem relações conjugais (com os seus maridos) voltaram a Kinseikan como mulheres de conforto". O homem coreano também escreveu no seu diário de 13 de Agosto de 1943, "As mulheres de conforto foram ver um filme, dizendo que o corpo ferroviário irá realizar um filme". Ele escreveu em 27 de Outubro de 1944: "Uma mulher de conforto pediu-me que enviasse 600 ienes, por isso retirei o seu depósito e enviei-o de uma estação central dos correios". O próprio autor do diário ganhou 43.000 ienes em dois anos - uma soma enorme quando se considera que o salário médio mensal do trabalhador durante esse período de tempo era de apenas 40 ienes. O autor geriu um pomar depois de regressar a casa, e também fez parte da direcção de uma escola elementar privada.

  490. If Koreans thoght the Japanese comfort women system was so bad, why did the Korean Government set up a similar 'comfort women' system for US/UN soldiers after the Japanese left Korea? Between the end of the Korean War and the early 1990s, more than one and half million SK women were caught up in a state-controlled pros**tution (comfort women) industry that was blessed at the highest levels by the U.S. military.

If you are interested in this issue, try Googling "How Beijing weaponizes‘ comfort women 'as propaganda tool ASIA TIMES " The article says “The “comfort women” issue appears, on the surface, to be a bilateral problem between South Korea and Japan. In reality, it is deeper. The key player is increasingly not South Korea, but China, and the ultimate target is not Japan, but the United States, as the comfort women are co-opted by Beijing in its anti-American information war - An example of the first is the comfort woman statue that mysteriously appeared in Manila in 2017. An investigation by the Sankei Shimbun revealed that the statue project was orchestrated by Overseas Chinese groups in the Philippines, including the Wai Ming Charitable Trust Foundation Company – long a front for politicizing the comfort women issue in mainland China.”

  496. You’re not authorities or scientist lol Here’s scientist view of treated water. Tritium is the mildly radioactive isotope of hydrogen that has two neutrons and one proton, with radioactivity so low that no environmental or human problems have ever come from it, even though it is a common radioactive element in the environment. Tritium is formed naturally by atmospheric processes as well as in nuclear weapons testing and in nuclear power plants. Tritium is assumed to be carcinogenic to humans at extremely high levels, although that claim is only hypothetical since adverse health effects from tritium have never appeared in humans or in the environment. Only laboratory studies on mice at extremely high levels have shown any adverse health effects and they were not fatal, even after ingesting 37,000,000 Bq/L. Putting this water into the ocean is without doubt the best way to get rid of it. Concentrating it and containerizing it actually causes more of a potential hazard to people and the environment. And is really expensive. Unfortunately, the idea of releasing radioactivity of any sort makes most people cringe. But that’s the problem, only the perception of tritium is bad, not the reality. And in our new world of anti-science, such a wrong idea might rule over what is the right thing to do, wasting precious resources and time. The scientific reality is tritium emits an incredibly weak beta particle that is easily stopped by our dead skin layer. It only goes a quarter inch in air. Even ingestion of tritium doesn’t do anything unless it’s at very high concentrations that can only be maintained in the laboratory. The health risks of tritium-contaminated water are so low that all countries of the world have no idea what regulatory limits to put on it. Using Becquerel per liter as the concentration unit (a Bq is a disintegration of a single nucleus per second), the United States has set 740 Bq/L for drinking water, but Canada has 7,000 Bq/L as its limit. Switzerland set 10,000 Bq/L, and Australia a whopping 76,103 Bq/L. But these limits were just taken out of thin air. They are not health-based. They were chosen because they were easy to achieve. Meaning none of these levels, or a hundred times these levels, are harmful. Even though more tritium has been formed in the last 60 years than all other radionuclides combined, there has never been a correlation of tritium with cancer or any other health effects in humans. Why is this the case? Hydrogen is a really small atom and easily gets through microscopic pores, even biological membranes and cell walls. Tritium (still hydrogen just heavier) can be found in water molecules (since water is two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom) and in organic materials which are mainly hydrogen and carbon. In fact, because tritium is three times heavier than normal hydrogen, tritium tends to replace normal hydrogen in water molecules, rapidly diluting any tritium in our bodies and in the environment. Our bodies are mostly hydrogen, and that is mostly in water. So while tritium’s radioactive half-life is 12.3 years, its biological half-life in our bodies is only 10 days. Therefore, ingestion of this weak emitter doesn’t have the same effect as most other ingested radionuclides.
    2
  497. 2/ It’s also difficult for the extremely low-energy beta from tritium to get through the water, cell walls and other materials in between the radionuclide and any DNA. The energy in the slow-moving beta from tritium mostly gets dispersed within the electron clouds of other molecules through inelastic collisions and the Bremsstrahlung effect. This turns the kinetic energy of the beta emission into electromagnetic non-ionizing energy. In the end, it’s really difficult to get a large radiation dose from tritium, unlike any other radionuclide. It exits the body and is diluted too quickly. Even more important, there’s more tritium in the atmosphere from natural processes and left over from old bomb testing, than ever has been, or will be, released from commercial reactors. Cosmic rays produce four million curies worth of tritium every year (150,000,000,000,000,000 Bq) in the upper atmosphere, much of which rains out into surface waters that we end up drinking. Presently, however, the biggest source of tritium is from old above ground nuclear bomb tests that caused a peak in atmospheric tritium in 1963. These amounts of tritium from other sources are millions of times greater than what would be slowly released from these tanks at Fukushima. Since there’s been no health or environmental effects from any of these larger sources, it’s hard to get excited about dumping such a tiny amount from Fukushima into the ocean. Besides, there are 16,280,000,000,000,000,000,000 Bq of potassium-40, rubidium-87 and many more radionuclides already in the world’s oceans. So the fish are swimming in plenty of natural radioactive material. The biological half-life of tritium in fish and marine life is even shorter than in humans, less than 2 days and the dilution in seawater would be too rapid for any significant dose to get back to any people. Opposite to many other radionuclides, the physical and chemical properties of tritium means it does not concentrate up the food change, it dilutes up the food chain. So while Japanese fishermen fear this strategy of release from a public relations perspective, their fish will still test negative with respect to food radiation limits and their packaged fish sold at market would still carry the official ‘safe’ stickers. So it all comes down to perception and fear. We as scientists can give you the answers, but you can ignore them if you want, especially since non-scientists make these decisions anyway.

  499.  @kellyliu1210  “Anybody who puts on the same plane Japan’s behaviour during World War II and the German one, and who comments unfavorably on Japan’s post war response to its defeat with the German one is either very ignorant or needs a serious reset of his moral compass. - One of the most often rep:eated and most dist:orted myt:hs concerning Japan’s suppo:sed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995(Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

A historical commission seemed to have coordinated with the women’s group, but is now pointing fingers after having issued a permit faster than it usually does. One of the commission’s members said that the local human rights group Lila Pilipina and other organizations started to work on the comfort woman statue in 2014, and that these groups came to the commission in October of 2017, requesting the inscription to be made. Lila Pilipina is the same group that brought South Korean comfort women activism to the Philippines in the 1990s.

The Wai Ming Charitable Foundation Fund Company Limited, appearing last on the pedestal donor list, is a Hong Kong-based organization whose founder, Chung Wai Ming, is believed to have supported comfort women relief on the Chinese mainland as well as the demands for reparations from Japan. Chinese anti-Japan propaganda, which makes full use of the overseas Chinese network under the “comfort women” banner, was also undertaken in 2015 in Australia. However, the petition to erect a comfort woman statue in a public place was not recognized there on the grounds that it was outside the purview of the local city government to make decisions on such matters. - Foreign Ministry Didn’t Know: Chinese Hand Seen in Comfort Women Statue in Manila

  501. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen.

Her human rights was likely violated by UN/US soldiers. 122 former Korean comfort women served for the UN/US soldiers sued their government in 2014. While Korean comfort women who sued Japan were only 9 in 1991. It means the US had more sex slaves than Japan.

  505. The “comfort women” issue appears, on the surface, to be a bilateral problem between South Korea and Japan. In reality, it is deeper. The key player is increasingly not South Korea, but China, and the ultimate target is not Japan, but the United States, as the comfort women are co-opted by Beijing in its anti-American information war. China has been waging this war since Beijing realized after the First Gulf War that it would likely be unable to the United States on the battlefield. As the document Unrestricted Warfare, published by two high-ranking Chinese military officials, makes clear, the Chinese have chosen to fight the US, and particularly the US-Japan alliance, using desinformatsiya rather than hardware and troops.

SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

  507. The Fabrication and Spread of the “Comfort Women = Sex Slaves” Theory Totsuka Etsuro: The author of the “sex slave” concept The man who first proposed to the United Nations that the comfort women be referred to as “sex slaves” was the Japanese human rights lawyer Totsuka Etsuro(CCP’s Agent,his wife is a former member of Korean Council/Comfort women related organization ) Totsuka brought up the term “sex slave” before the UN Commission on Human Rights, and before long UN bodies had accordingly defined the comfort women as being “sex slaves”. The idea that the comfort women were sex slaves did not arise from the findings of any empirical investigation, nor was it conceptualized on the basis of any facts. Totsuka said that the idea of adopting the term “sex slaves” simply popped into his mind one day. According to Fujiki, when Totsuka was asked about how he came up with the term “sex slaves”, he said, “I had a hunch! It was intuition!” He then continued as follows: “It’s amazing, isn’t it? I had been frequenting the United Nations for thirty-four years. During that time, I submitted over twenty motions to discuss instances of Japanese human rights violations and delivered statements on them here, but not one was taken up. And yet, in 1992, when I reframed the comfort women as being sex slaves, the UN commissioners were glued to my every word. So you see, it’s incredible, isn’t it?”

  508. -Coaching comfort women and stage-managing testimonies at the UN Tachi saw one other important thing during the UN conference. When she got lost and was wandering through the huge building where the meeting was taking place, she stumbled upon a room where people were gathering. Here, former comfort women who were testifying on a stage were being prompted and trained on how to deliver their lines. Unsurprisingly, the people who were stage-managing the whole operation were Japanese women (activists close tie with communists). In this manner, the former comfort women were being trained as living witnesses to serve the movement.

  509. The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abd*ucted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council. They are swi*ndlers"

  510. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  514. One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  515. Lee Yong-Soo (the most famous comfort woman) stated in her original 1992 written testimony that, at age 16, she and her friend together escaped from her Daegu home and ended up at a privately-run “comfort station” in Taiwan. In 2007, after Lee became a leading voice of the redress campaign, she publicly testified that she was forcibly dragged from her home in the middle of the night by Japanese soldiers, covering her mouth so she could not call to her mother. More well known but much under discussed is the willingness of many surviving “comfort women” and relatives of the deceased to accept compensation from Japan. Thirty-five out of 46 registered survivors, and 68 relatives of deceased “comfort women,” accepted payments from a 1 billion yen foundation (approximately $9.27 million), which Japan funded pursuant to the 2015 accord between then Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo and South Korean President Park Geun-hye. Japan’s government also issued Abe’s official apologies and remorse to all the women (even though there was no coercion by the Japanese military and Korean comfort station owners were ‘all Korean’) In 1994-95, 61 registered survivors (out of 203) accepted compensation from Japan’s Asian Women’s Fund. More might have accepted but activists publicly shamed those who accepted, and the government financially pressured survivors to reject payments. In 2004, a group of 33 former “comfort women” criticized the Korean Council for “humiliating and shaming” women who had received this compensation. *several prominent persons connected with Korean Council, the most vocal comfort woman-related NGO in South Korea, have been arrested as North Korean sp*ies. - Joseph Yi and Joe Phillips

In reality, it is deeper.

  517. The US government, under the Clinton and Bush administrations, spent 7 years and 30 million dollars to look into Nazi and Japanese war crimes. After 7 years of research, they found no evidence of the forced prostitution of comfort women, the Nanjing Massacre. “Final Report to the US Congress on Nazi War Crimes & Japanese Imperial Government Records” authored by the Interagency Working Group (IWG).” The report was published in the spring of 2007. Out of millions of pages of newly declassified material, much of it related to Japan, and they were unable to find evidence of forced prostitution. They also looked for information about the Nanjing Massacre and unit 731, but found no smoking guns. Nobody doubts that there was a massacre in Nanjing, and nobody doubts the Chinese ability to exaggerate by orders of magnitude, and then to believe their own stories. A Chinese organization lobbied for the IWG investigation. The “Global Alliance for Preserving the History of WWII in Asia” (Global Alliance). It should be noted that Global Alliance was closely associated with Iris Chang, author of “The Rape of Nanking”.

This ledger contained information about when each patron arrived and left (down to the hour), distinguishing facial features and articles of clothing, the pros**tution names of the prostitutes he requested, the amount of money he spent on entertainment, and his address, occupation, name, and age. Medical exams for venereal disease were also carried out with exacting rigor: 45 times per year for Korean pros**tutes, and 54 times per year for Japanese pros**tutes. As a result, the prevalence of venereal disease among Korean pros**tutes was 6%, and 3.8% for Japanese pros**tutes.

  522. https://sp.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm32615931 In 2017, Seoul National university released a film. As the report states: “An evidence of Korean victims of sex slavery of imperial Japanese Army was found at US National Archives” Korean media gave promonent coverage of it. But that was made up. Original film was silent but narration was added in 2017 to make it looks like real. In reality, US National archives description says that they are “CHINESE pros**tutes captured by KMT” They also were being untruthful when they told their self-proclaimed effort about spending 2 years going to national archives for research. The staff have revealed that they’ve only visited the site twice....

  523. “CHUKIREN” (The Association of Returnees from China (中国帰還者連絡会, Chūgoku Kikansha Renraku Kai), is composed of former IJA who were captured on the Chinese front and were later sent to a concentration camp in Fushun, in which P.O.W.s were thoroughly brainwashed by the CCP, and then returned to Japan to act as an agitprop unit in order to turn Japan Red. Their testimonies are highly dubious in the first place and the witnesses’ statements about Unit 731, Nanjing, Comfort women are completely groundless.

  524. The Fabrication and Spread of the “Comfort Women = Sex Slaves” Theory Totsuka Etsuro: The author of the “sex slave” concept The man who first proposed to the United Nations that the comfort women be referred to as “sex slaves” was the Japanese human rights lawyer Totsuka Etsuro(CCP’s Agent) http://www.sdh-fact.com/book-article/734/ Totsuka brought up the term “sex slave” before the UN Commission on Human Rights, and before long UN bodies had accordingly defined the comfort women as being “sex slaves”. The idea that the comfort women were sex slaves did not arise from the findings of any empirical investigation, nor was it conceptualized on the basis of any facts. Totsuka said that the idea of adopting the term “sex slaves” simply popped into his mind one day. According to Fujiki, when Totsuka was asked about how he came up with the term “sex slaves”, he said, “I had a hunch! It was intuition!” He then continued as follows: “It’s amazing, isn’t it? I had been frequenting the United Nations for thirty-four years. During that time, I submitted over twenty motions to discuss instances of Japanese human rights violations and delivered statements on them here, but not one was taken up. And yet, in 1992, when I reframed the comfort women as being sex slaves, the UN commissioners were glued to my every word. So you see, it’s incredible, isn’t it?”

  525. -Coaching comfort women and stage-managing testimonies at the UN Tachi saw one other important thing during the UN conference. When she got lost and was wandering through the huge building where the meeting was taking place, she stumbled upon a room where people were gathering. Here, former comfort women who were testifying on a stage were being prompted and trained on how to deliver their lines. Unsurprisingly, the people who were stage-managing the whole operation were Japanese women (activists close tie with communists). In this manner, the former comfort women were being trained as living witnesses to serve the movement.

  526. Have you watched Lee Yon-Soo’s lie? Check my saved video Lee Yong-soo filmed in 1992 is now found, in which she testified that she became Comfort Woman just because she followed a man who gave her a dress and shoes, NOT because she was tricked or abducted by force by Imperial Japanese Army. The footage filmed on Aug 15th, 1992 at KBS. That seems a little bit ironic that the announcer reconfirmed that she became Comfort Woman NOT because she was abd*ucted by force by Imperial Japanese Army, but she just followed a man by her own will. —— ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city.

  527.  @nathaliamiranda5809  An article in Korean newspaper Kyunghyang Shinmun on June 6, 1977. It says that a Korean comfort station owner traffi/cked dozens of Korean comfort women to Asia to provide sex to Japanese/Korean soldiers there during World War II. It was common knowledge in Korea until the 1970s that Korean comfort station owners recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations, and no Koreans opposed that concept. Then Japanese newspaper published a series of fabricated articles in the 1980's falsely accusing Japanese military of coercing Korean comfort women. Korean communists with close ties to NK thought this was a great opportunity to defame Japan and block reconciliation between Japan and Korea. So they formed the anti-Japan lobby group in 1990 and began spreading comfort women’s false testimonies worldwide. Their tactic was to use the case of a small number of Dutch indonesia women who were coerced by lower ranked Japanese soldiers and make it look like the same thing happened to tens of thousands of Korean women. Since they had no evidence, they coached Korean women to testify falsely.

  529. Kim said she has never received an apology from Japan, which is a flat-out lie. The truth is that comfort women's organization “Korean council” embezzle donations, force comfort women to lie, obstruct reconciliation with Japan, so that they can continue the comfort women propaganda. Japan has apologized many times and paid huge amounts of atonement money to the Korean women, but the Korean government has not given it to the women. *Japan-South Korea Treaty of 1965 During treaty negotiations, the Japanese government asked the S Korean government to identify and separate individual claims from the treaty because the Japanese government wanted to make sure the survivors received compensation. The South Korean government declined and accepted the entire sum of 800 million dollars (over ten billion dollars in today's money) in place of its citizens and spent all of it on infrastructures. Therefore it is not reasonable for the South Korean government to keep asking for additional compensation from Japan. And their claim that they were forced into pros**tution is also a lie. A Korean professor interviewed the Korean women in 2003. After the interview professor commented: “I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean spi*es) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.”

  531. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995(Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  533. 【幅射危機】大亞灣放射物質排放上限 遠超日本福島10倍 日本政府在周二(13日)提出，決定把福島核電廠積存的核廢水，在兩年後經稀釋後排落大海，而經處理的廢水將主要包含一種「氚」放射性物質。事件連日引來中國不斷批評，但距離香港只有50公里的大亞灣核電站，放射性物質「氚」的排放上限，竟然比日本福島的排放標準高出10倍。 據早前日本政府公布，福島核電廠積存的核廢水在經過稀釋後，每年最多排放22兆貝克的液態氚，濃度亦會稀釋到每升1500貝克，即是世衛飲用水標準的七分一。但中國國內資料顯示，鄰近香港的大亞灣核電站每年的液態氚排放上限達到225兆貝克，是福島未來每年排放量的10倍。 而據香港核電投資公司 (HKNIC) 數據顯示，過去10年大亞灣核電站的液態氚排放量平均為上限的20%，即是約49.5兆貝克，與日本政府訂出的標準比較，是超出一倍有多。此外，中國其他地區核電廠的液態氚排放量也較福島核電廠高，包括秦山核電廠、福建福清核電廠等。 「氚」是一種帶有放射性，能量雖高但穿透力弱的放射性物質，是氫的同位素之一。「氚」不會穿透人體，僅影響空氣中數厘米的範圍。一般情況下，飲用含氚的水才可能會對人體造成一定傷害，但「氚」在人體的半衰期只有7至18日，即使直接吸收了，每過14日殘留身體的劑量都會減半。 資料來源：中國生態環境部、香港核電投資公司

  534. Interview with former comfort woman -Bae Junchul: Was the owner of the comfort station in Bengbu also Korean? –Yes, all of them were Koreans. The amount of the up-front loan was decided through negotiation between both parties, the contract term was clearly set and there was a term regulating resale of the comfort woman. An agreement and the seal of the head of the household were required. A comfort woman and her parents knew what kind of work she would do for the Japanese military and that prior to resale, the up-front loan would change hands to the new entrepreneur. What else would be needed to prove that the entire scheme was nothing less than a contractual relationship?

  536. The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched.

Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abd*ucted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council. They are swi*ndlers"

  537. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen.

  538. ⚫︎Contemporary U.S. Military Sources One primary source is Report No. 49, U.S. Office of War Information, dated October 1, 1944. This is an interrogation report of 20 Korean comfort women in Burma. This report clearly states: A “comfort woman” is nothing more than a pros**tute or professional camp follower. ⚫︎Allied Translator Records and Captured Japanese Documents Another primary source is found in the ATIS (Allied Translator/Interpreter Section) Research Report No. 120. It says, “Amenities of the Japanese Armed Forces,” dated November 15, 1945. Among them are the following: From a captured Japanese document, “Rules for Restaurants and Houses of Pros**tution,” dated February 1943: MANILA: “Persons receiving permission to open business [comfort station] will…submit…copy of personal histories of employees….” “Permission is necessary before anyone joins the establishment.” SHANGHAI SECTOR: “The pros**tutes will possess licenses….” “Unlicensed pros**tutes are strictly prohibited from plying their trade.” “The pros**tute and the operator will share equally the proceeds of the work done by the pros**tute.” “Tacloban Brothel Regulations,” undated: “Places called brothels in these regulations are special brothels operated with Filipino women (licensed pros**tutes).” ⚫︎Foreign Ministry Documents on Comfort Stations Japanese Foreign Ministry documents from the wartime era were also captured and are among the primary sources available. These include: Consul General Reports on the Status of Countrymen and Businesses in Chinese Cities: Report on Jiujian (sic) Consulate Report No. 561, 11/8/38; Nanchang (sic) Report No. 217, 8/9/39; Chiahu (sic) Report No. 170, 8/2/39 All of these reports list comfort stations, together with other commercial businesses, not as something special. Operators are listed as civilians. Countrymen are identified as Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese. There is no mention of any comfort station operated by military personnel. Another document, the “Report by Governor General of Guangdong (sic), Report No. 37, 3/15/41,” also lists comfort stations with other businesses run by Japanese, Taiwanese, and Koreans. All comfort stations with Korean women were operated by Koreans, Japanese women by Japanese. There is not even a hint of military guards.

  539. "Um dos mitos mais repetidos e distorcidos a respeito dos supostos crimes do Japão contra a Coréia, diz respeito às chamadas "mulheres de conforto". Finalmente, sobre as alegações de que a Alemanha "expiou" apropriadamente por seus crimes, enquanto o Japão não o fez. Deixe-me considerar apenas um aspecto. Em 1965, o governo coreano de Park Chung-hee assinou um tratado com o Japão, normalizando as relações entre os dois países. Nos termos do tratado, a Coréia do Sul recebeu grandes quantidades de ajuda econômica, subsídios, empréstimos e, significativamente, indenizações para as vítimas do domínio japonês. (O governo japonês pagou 2,5 vezes o orçamento nacional como compensação, mas manteve-o em segredo durante 40 anos na Coréia para incitar o ódio contra o Japão e o governo coreano continua tentando esconder a verdade. Embora todas as reivindicações individuais tenham sido resolvidas no Tratado Japão-Coréia do Sul de 1965, o governo japonês ainda ofereceu várias vezes indenização às mulheres coreanas como um bom gesto. Entretanto, quando o Japão ofereceu indenização através do Fundo para Mulheres Asiáticas em 1995 (a indenização veio com uma carta pessoal de desculpas do Primeiro Ministro do Japão), a ONG sul-coreana ameaçou antigas mulheres de conforto para não aceitar o pedido de desculpas e a indenização do Japão. 61 das que desafiaram a ordem da ONG foram verificadas como traidoras, seus nomes e endereços foram publicados em jornais como prostitutas, e tiveram que viver o resto de suas vidas em desgraça. O governo sul-coreano assinou o acordo Japão-Coreia sobre a questão das mulheres de conforto em 2015 e o governo japonês pagou 1 bilhão de dólares como dinheiro de expiação para as ex-coreanas de conforto. No entanto, a administração do Moon Jae In da Coréia abandonou o acordo em 2018 sem qualquer aviso prévio. O anúncio da dissolução é totalmente inaceitável para o Japão. Enquanto o governo da ROK, incluindo o presidente Moon Jae-in, declarou repetidamente em público que "não abandonará o acordo" e "não pedirá uma renegociação com o Japão") - O governo japonês naquela época se ofereceu para compensar as vítimas individuais, mas o governo sul-coreano recusou a oferta e insistiu que deveria receber todo o dinheiro e compensar seus próprios cidadãos. Muito pouco desse dinheiro (apenas 250 dólares) foi pago a indivíduos e, em vez disso, foi usado para o desenvolvimento econômico da Coréia do Sul. O governo japonês pediu desculpas por seu sistema de mulheres de conforto (que na verdade era uma extensão do sistema de prostituição licenciada que existia tanto na Coréia como no Japão antes da guerra e que envolvia um grande número de prostitutas japonesas, assim como as de outros países), a Alemanha nunca pediu desculpas ou pagou qualquer compensação a qualquer ex-profissional. Na verdade, ninguém jamais exigiu tais coisas, uma vez que essas mulheres, que com razão ou sem razão eram vistas como colaboradoras nos países ocupados, nunca encontraram nenhum apoiador ou defensor". -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, Universidade de Varsóvia

  540. Kim Bok-Dong said that she worked as a comfort woman for 8 years until 1948 but WW2 ended in 1945. -IJA didn’t exist after WW2. Japan participated in the WW2 in 1939 -1945-1939=6 years In her speech, 9/18/2013 in France, She said that her human rights has been violated by IJA in “Korean war”. -There is no IJA during the Korean war. Her human rights has been likely violated by UN/US soldiers. 122 of Korean comfort women for the UN/US sued their government in 2014. While Korean comfort women who sued Japan were only 9 in 1991. It means the US had more sex slaves than Japan.

  544. Numerous wartime documents define comfort women as prostitutes. ⚫︎Contemporary U.S. Military Sources One primary source is Report No. 49, U.S. Office of War Information, dated October 1, 1944. This is an interrogation report of 20 Korean comfort women in Burma. This report clearly states: A “comfort woman” is nothing more than a pros**tute or professional camp follower. ⚫︎Allied Translator Records and Captured Japanese Documents Another primary source is found in the ATIS (Allied Translator/Interpreter Section) Research Report No. 120. It says, “Amenities of the Japanese Armed Forces,” dated November 15, 1945. Among them are the following: From a captured Japanese document, “Rules for Restaurants and Houses of Pros**tution,” dated February 1943: MANILA: “Persons receiving permission to open business [comfort station] will…submit…copy of personal histories of employees….” “Permission is necessary before anyone joins the establishment.” SHANGHAI SECTOR: “The pros**tutes will possess licenses….” “Unlicensed pros**tutes are strictly prohibited from plying their trade.” “The pros**tute and the operator will share equally the proceeds of the work done by the pros**tute.” “Tacloban Brothel Regulations,” undated: “Places called brothels in these regulations are special brothels operated with Filipino women (licensed pros**tutes).”

  546. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen.

And If you are interested in this issue, try Googling "How Beijing weaponizes‘ comfort women 'as propaganda tool ASIA TIMES " The article says “The “comfort women” issue appears, on the surface, to be a bilateral problem between South Korea and Japan. In reality, it is deeper. The key player is increasingly not South Korea, but China, and the ultimate target is not Japan, but the United States, as the comfort women are co-opted by Beijing in its anti-American information war - An example of the first is the comfort woman statue that mysteriously appeared in Manila in 2017. An investigation by the Sankei Shimbun revealed that the statue project was orchestrated by Overseas Chinese groups in the Philippines, including the Wai Ming Charitable Trust Foundation Company – long a front for politicizing the comfort women issue in mainland China.” — Also, “Foreign Ministry Didn’t Know: Chinese Hand Seen in Comfort Women Statue in Manila Japan Forward “ “A Chinese group recruited a Philippines human rights organization in secretly working to have this statue erected without the knowledge of the foreign ministry, and with little detail given to the host city government. “

  554. Kim said she has never received an apology from Japan, which is a flat-out lie. The truth is that comfort women's organization “Korean council” embezzle donations, force comfort women to lie, obstruct reconciliation with Japan, so that they can continue the comfort women propaganda. Japan has apologized many times and paid huge amounts of atonement money to the Korean women, but the Korean government has not given it to the women. *Japan-South Korea Treaty of 1965 During treaty negotiations, the Japanese government asked the S Korean government to identify and separate individual claims from the treaty because the Japanese government wanted to make sure the survivors received compensation. The South Korean government declined and accepted the entire sum of 800 million dollars (over ten billion dollars in today's money) in place of its citizens and spent all of it on infrastructures. Therefore it is not reasonable for the South Korean government to keep asking for additional compensation from Japan. And their claim that they were forced into pros**tution is also a lie. A Korean professor interviewed the Korean women in 2003. After the interview professor commented: “I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean spi*es) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.”

  556. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

Kore'ye karşı işlediği iddia edilen suçlarla ilgili en sık tekrarlanan ve en çarpıtılmış efsanelerden biri, sözde “konfor kadınları " ile ilgilidir” Almanya Japonya doğru olmasa da “suçlarını telafi” olduğunu sonunda hakkındaki iddialar. Sadece bir yönü düşünmeme izin verin. 1965'te Kore hükümeti Park Chung-hee, iki ülke arasındaki ilişkileri normalleştiren Japonya ile bir anlaşma imzaladı. Anlaşmaya göre Güney Kore, Japon yönetiminin mağdurları için çok büyük miktarda ekonomik yardım, hibe, kredi ve önemli ölçüde tazminat aldı.

  559. One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

Do you understand?” (her statement is reminiscent of that of former Japanese comfort women, who sincerely believed in their personal contribution to Japan’s war project by laboring as comfort women so as to fulfill the wartime slogan of “for the good of the country.”) That’s why we were also soldiers. We helped them fight. Do I think what Japan did was evil? Not really. After all, Japan was at war. They wanted to win the war. Actually, I blame my country most. The fact that our country was weak. Were we a strong country, it would not and could not have happened. So if I am to blame anything, anybody, it is my country. . . . You keep pushing me to say that Japan was wrong, but I still say they did it for their country and we let it happen to us because we were not powerful enough. . . . Well, we should never let it happen again. Never. After all that, I don’t blame Japan. Even now, if there were two men proposing, one Korean and the other Japanese, I would rather marry the Japanese. . . . -Former Comfort women Pae Chok-kan The Comfort women by Professor Sarah Soh P189

  562. Korean authorities say “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  565. (5) Despite such sincere efforts by the Government of Japan, there are claims that can hardly be said to be based on historical facts, such as the allegations of “forceful taking away” of comfort women and “sex slaves” as well as the figures such as “200,000 persons” or “several hundred thousands” for the total number of comfort women. The Government of Japan’s position regarding these claims is as follows; ●“Forceful taking away” “Forceful taking away” of comfort women by the Japanese military and government authorities could not be confirmed in any of the documents that the Government of Japan was able to identify. (This position is stated, for example, in a written answer approved by the Cabinet on December 16, 1997 to a question by a member of the House of Representatives.) ●“Sex slaves” The expression of “sex slaves” contradicts the facts so that it should not be used. This point was confirmed with the ROK on the occasion of the Japan-ROK Agreement in December 2015 and the expression “sex slaves” is not used in the agreement. ●Figures such as “200,000 persons” for the total number of comfort women The figure “200,000 persons” lacks concrete evidence. As stated in the report of the Government study’s result of August 4, 1993, it is virtually impossible to determine the total number of comfort women as no documents have been found which either indicatethe total number or give sufficient ground to establish an estimate. -Ministry of foreign affairs of Japan

Pol Lt Col Korawat said Dubai authorities found there were seven Thai women working as pros**tutes there. The brothel was owned by 『Chinese people and overseen by Koreans.』 According to the DSI chief, each Thai woman duped to work in Dubai had paid 5,000 baht to Thai agents as a commission. Once they arrived they were ordered to delete their online conversations and were picked up by Chinese women at the airport. At the brothel, their passports were seized and they were deta:ined in service rooms, waiting to serve customers. The DSI said the procurers threatened to beat them if they did not sell their bo:dies to repay the 70,000-baht incurred in travel costs.

Michael Breen, Korea Times contributor and author of the popular text The Koreans (2004) reacted critically. “They were the th*ugs, the bru*tes, the mon*sters, the most horrible…” They were not tried as soldiers or POW camp guards who had done their jobs. They were tried for overzealousness, for decisions and actions over and above the call of duty. They were the th*ugs, the bru*tes, the mon*sters, the most horrible… Breen describes atrocities committed by Korean camp guards that represented indignities that no human being should suffer. He chastised the commission for its political correctness: “The Commission should know that those rounding up comfort women were Koreans and those tor*turing people in police stations were mostly Koreans.”

The article talks about how nationwide 392,707 female entertainers, including 261,089 comfort women, were tested for venereal disease over a 1-year period. The article is evidence that in 1959 Korea was registering women to be "comfort women," which was a euphemism for "military pros**tute." Korea was registering women to be pros***utes for UN soldiers stationed in Korea. The 261,089 comfort woment mentioned in the article is evidence that Korea had a significant number of comfort women, of which 66.4% were infected with a veneral disease. In the 1990s South Koreans begin criticizing Japan for its comfort women system in World War II, but have hardly said anything about its own comfort women system

Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father."

Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121.

  571.  @vera8656  A Taiwanese eye witness commenting about the time when Taiwan was under the rule of Japan. "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a criminal. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

  573.  @weirdo_simp3625  Truth about the Annexation of Korea after One Hundred Years ―Criticism over Japan’s Annexation of Korea Is Totally Ungrounded― By Ko Bunyu (Huang Wenxing) When it comes to this matter, both Japan and Korea eagerly bring up such terms as “invasion” and “colonial rule”. But these are not true. We should not be dazzled by the ingenious fabrication the Koreans have made with their marvelous talent to distort history and by opinions catering to such fabrication. The history claimed by the Koreans of these 36 years is utterly different from the actual one. I believe it is a major and proper task to ponder why such false history has come to be told as the truth on the occasion of the one-hundredth anniversary of the Japanese-Korean annexation. But arguing with Korean historians over this subject poses extreme difficulties. As I myself have often experienced, Korean scholars easily lose their tempers. When I tell them my views, they angrily argue back, hollering, “Look, you Taiwanese are sheer bar*barians. How dare you meddle in matters between Japan and Korea? That’s none of your business,” and then abruptly leave the room. If you read what Korean scholars write, you’ll find entire pages filled with self-assertions without a shred of objective argument. Contradictions abound in the same book. Particularly, figures are just a mess and make no sense at all. I must say that Koreans are utterly indifferent to statistics. What is most remarkable about Korean views of modern and contemporary history is that they attribute everything to bilateral conflicts—the perpetrators and the victims, or the exploiters and the exploited. This is not a historical view, but a political one. They assert that Korea was invaded by Japan, exploited under Imperial Japanese rule of 36 years and prevented from achieving national prosperity, and that therefore they rightly demand an apology and sincere self-reflection of Japan. However, apology and self-reflection should belong to the political arena, and not to history. Political matters should be dealt with among politicians. As long as historical facts are concerned, there is neither reflecting nor apologizing. Moreover, speaking of the exploiters and the exploited, it was not the Koreans but rather the Japanese people who were exploited. The Office of the Governor-General of Korea annually spent 18% to 20% of the tax money which Japanese nationals paid, investing it in establishing Korean infrastructure. While the Taiwanese achieved their own economic self-reliance in ten years, Koreans remained dependent on financial support from Japan for 36 years during the Governor-General’s administration. It is a vital fact that the Japanese were the exploited. The “36 years of Imperial Japan’s rule” is an ingenious invention of the Koreans who are experts at distorting history. Like the Korean-style dramas that are popular in Japan, it is another Korean “hit product”. The Korean dramas are now beginning to become a phenomenon of the past. Likewise, the Japanese people should be well aware that the theory of the “36 year-long Imperial Japanese rule” has by now become unfashionable.

  574. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen.

That’s why we take a somewhat different stance from the Koreans who stridently demand reparations.” The participants in the conference suddenly erupted into jeer and exclaimed, “What are you saying!” Before she had finished speaking, the conference room fell into pandemonium as the attendees threw fits or began approaching the podium. One person yelled, “Stop interpreting!”, and the interpreter abruptly halted. The ones who had shouted her down were well-known Japanese human rights activists.(communists) After the conference reopened, a Thai woman who said that she was living in India shouted at the top of her lungs, “British soldiers did the same sort of things, no, even worse things, when they were stationed in India. Why aren’t you talking about that too?”

Sadece bir yönü düşünmeme izin verin. 1965'te Kore hükümeti Park Chung-hee, iki ülke arasındaki ilişkileri normalleştiren Japonya ile bir anlaşma imzaladı. Anlaşmaya göre Güney Kore, Japon yönetiminin mağdurları için çok büyük miktarda ekonomik yardım, hibe, kredi ve önemli ölçüde tazminat aldı. (Japon hükümeti ulusal bütçenin 3 katını tazminat olarak ödedi, ancak Kore'de 40 yıl boyunca Japonya'ya karşı nefreti kışkırtmak için gizli tuttu ve Kore hükümeti gerçeği gizlemeye çalışıyor. Tüm bireysel iddialar 1965 Japonya-Güney Kore Antlaşması'nda çözülmesine rağmen, Japon hükümeti hala Koreli kadınlara iyi bir jest olarak birkaç kez tazminat teklif etti. Bununla birlikte, Japonya 1995 yılında Asya kadın Fonu aracılığıyla tazminat teklif ettiğinde (tazminat Japonya Başbakanı'ndan kişisel bir özür mektubu ile geldi), Güney Koreli STK eski konfor kadınlarını Japonya'nın özrünü ve tazminatını kabul etmemekle tehdit etti. STK'NIN emrine meydan okuyanların 61'i hain olarak doğrulandı, isimleri ve adresleri gazetelerde fahişe olarak yayınlandı ve hayatlarının geri kalanını utanç içinde yaşamak zorunda kaldılar. Güney Kore hükümeti, 2015 yılında konfor kadınları konusunda Japonya-Kore anlaşması imzaladı ve Japon hükümeti, eski Kore konfor kadınlarına kefaret parası olarak 1 milyar dolar ödedi. Ancak, Kore'nin Moon Jae In yönetimi, 2018'teki anlaşmayı herhangi bir bildirimde bulunmadan terk etti . Dağılma duyurusu Japonya için tamamen kabul edilemez. Başkan Moon Jae-in de dahil olmak üzere ROK Hükümeti, kamuoyunda defalarca “anlaşmayı terk etmeyeceğini” ve “Japonya ile yeniden müzakere istemeyeceğini " belirtti”) - O sırada Japon hükümeti (1965) bireysel mağdurları tazmin etmeyi teklif etti, ancak Güney Kore hükümeti teklifi reddetti ve tüm parayı alması ve vatandaşlarını tazmin etmesi konusunda ısrar etti. Bu paranın çok azı (sadece 250 ABD doları) bireylere ödendi ve bunun yerine Güney Kore'nin ekonomik gelişimi için kullanıldı. Japon hükümeti (aslında savaştan önce ve hem de diğer ülkelerden gelen Japon fahişelerin büyük bir sayı söz konusu olan Kore ve Japonya'da hem de var olan lisanslı fuhuş sisteminin bir uzantısı olan) konfor kadınlar sistemi için özür diledi, Almanya özür dilemedi ya da herhangi bir eski fahişeler için herhangi bir tazminat ödedi. Aslında, hiç kimse böyle bir şey talep etmedi, çünkü işgal altındaki ülkelerde doğru ya da yanlış işbirlikçi olarak görülen bu kadınlar hiçbir zaman destekçi ya da savunucu bulamadılar” - Profesör Andrzej Kozlowski, Varşova Üniversitesi

  577. The Japanese government at that time offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros***utes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros**tutes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  580. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen.

  581. Kim Bok-Dong said that she worked as a comfort woman for 8 years until 1948 but WW2 ended in 1945. -IJA didn’t exist after WW2. Japan participated in the WW2 in 1939 -1945-1939=6 years In her speech, 9/18/2013 in France, She said that her human rights has been violated by IJA in “Korean war”. -There is no IJA during the Korean war. Her human rights has been likely violated by UN/US soldiers. 122 of Korean comfort women for the UN/US sued their government in 2014. While Korean comfort women who sued Japan were only 9 in 1991. It means the US had more sex slaves than Japan.

  582. A Taiwanese eye witness commenting about the time when Taiwan was under the rule of Japan. "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a collaborator. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

  583. Comfort Women and the Professors -Harvard university Abstract: We in the West have embraced an odd "narrative." The Japanese army of the 1930s and 1940s, we write, forcibly drafted 200,000 mostly Korean teenage girls into "ra*pe camps" called "comfort stations." Should anyone question the story, we summarily consign the person to "denier" status. This makes for a strange phenomenon. Only a few of the comfort women claim to have been forcibly recruited, and several of them had told a different story before the reparations campaign against Japan began. A strongly leftist affiliate runs their nursing home, controls whom they can see, and vilifies any woman who might say anything else. In fact, no one has ever located any documentary evidence that the Japanese military forcibly recruited any Korean woman into a comfort station. And when Korean academics question the orthodox account, their own government sometimes prosecutes them for criminal defamation -- indeed, sent one heterodox professor last fall to six months in prison

  585. Wumao3 The US government, under the Clinton and Bush administrations, spent 7 years and 30 million dollars to look into Nazi and Japanese war crimes. After 7 years of research, they found no evidence of the forced prostitution of comfort women, the Nanjing Massacre. The IWG report was published in the spring of 2007. Out of millions of pages of newly declassified material, much of it related to Japan, and they were unable to find evidence of forced prostitution. They also looked for information about the Nanjing Massacre and unit 731, but found no smoking guns.

  586. The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother.

You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women.

  587. Eski konfor kadın tanıklıkları, organizasyon tarafından eğitildiği için tutarsız Professor San Francisco Eyalet Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Chunghee Sarah Soh ile yaptığı röportajda, eski bir Koreli konfor kadını kim Sun-ok, ailesi tarafından dört kez satıldığını söyledi. Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından görevden alındığını ifade etti. Güney Kore'deki sejong Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Park ile yaptığı röportajda, eski bir Koreli konfor kadını BAE Chun-hee, onu satan babasından nefret ettiğini söyledi. Koreli kadınları işe alan ve konfor istasyonlarını işleten erkeklerin “tüm Koreli” olduğunu ve BM özel Raportöründen önce ifade veren Koreli kadınların Kore Konseyi adına yalan söylediğini söyledi. Former eski bir Koreli konfor kadın mun Oku-chu anılarında söyledi: "Koreli bir konfor istasyonu sahibi tarafından işe alındım. Bahşişlerden önemli miktarda para biriktirdim, bu yüzden bir tasarruf hesabı açtım. Tasarruf hesabımda bu kadar çok paraya sahip olabileceğime inanamadım. Arkadaşlarımdan biri birçok mücevher topladı, bu yüzden gittim ve bir elmas aldım. Sık sık Japon filmlerini izlemeye gittim ve oyuncuların anakara Japonya'dan geldiği Kabuki oyunları. Rangoon'da popüler bir kadın oldum. Rangoon'da cephe hatlarından çok daha fazla subay vardı, bu yüzden birçok partiye davet edildim. Partilerde şarkı söyledim ve çok fazla ipucu aldım. Bir çift yüksek topuklu ayakkabı, yeşil bir ceket giydim ve timsah derisinden bir çanta taşıdım. Modaya uygun bir elbiseyle dolaştım. Kasabadaki hiç kimse benim rahat bir kadın olduğumu tahmin edemezdi. Çok mutlu ve gururlu hissettim. Eve dönmek için izin aldım ama Kore'ye dönmek istemedim. Rangoon'da kalmak istedim." Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e göre, mun Oku-chu savaştan sonra Kore'de fahişe olarak çalışmaya devam etti. Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. Koreli hankyoreh gazetesine verdiği röportajda (artcile 15 Mayıs 1991'de yayınlandı) eski bir Koreli konfor kadını kim hak-sun annesi tarafından satıldığını söyledi. 1993'te kim Hak-sun, Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e şunları söyledi: "annem beni Pyongyang'da bir Kiseng olarak eğitmeye gönderdi ve sonra beni sattı." Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. 1993'te eski bir Koreli konfor kadını kim gun-ja, Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e şunları söyledi: "üvey babam tarafından satıldım." Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. Kim Gun-ja ayrıca 2007 yılında Amerika Birleşik Devletleri Dışişleri Temsilciler Meclisi Komitesinde ifade verdi ve Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını söyledi. 1993'te eski bir Koreli konfor kadını Lee Yong-soo, Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e şunları söyledi: "o zamanlar perişan giyinmiş ve sefildim. Anneme söylemeden arkadaşım kim Pun-sun ile evden ayrıldığım gün, siyah bir etek, pamuklu bir gömlek ve ayaklarımın üzerinde tahta takunya giyiyordum. Koreli bir işverenden kırmızı bir elbise ve bir çift deri ayakkabı aldığımda ne kadar memnun olduğumu bilmiyorsun." Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. Lee Yong-soo da 2007 yılında Dışişleri Birleşik Devletleri ev Komitesi önünde ifade verdi. Konuşmak için beş dakikası olduğu söylendi. Talimatı görmezden geldi ve bir saatten fazla bir süre ağlama ve çığlık atma performansına devam etti. Onun yanlış ifadesi, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri Temsilciler Meclisi'nin 121 sayılı kararının kabulüne yol açtı. 2017 yılında Lee Yong-soo, San Francisco şehir Konseyi'nden önce yanlış ifadeler verdi ve bu da o şehirde bir konfor kadın heykelinin kurulmasıyla sonuçlandı. San Francisco Eyalet Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Chunghee Sarah Soh'a göre, eski bir Koreli konfor kadını Moon pil-ki, bir Koreli konfor istasyonu sahibinin ajanı tarafından işe alındı ve diğer dört kadınla birlikte mançurya'ya götürüldü. Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. 1993'te eski bir Koreli konfor kadını olan kil won-ok, Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e şunları söyledi: "ailem tarafından satıldım." Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. Birkaç tanığa göre, Kore Konseyi (kuzey yanlısı aktivist grup) kadınları "Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldım" demeleri için eğitti." Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik, " 1990'ların başında eski konfor kadınlarıyla röportaj yaptığımda, hiçbirinin Japon ordusu hakkında söyleyecek kötü bir şeyi yoktu. Onları satan ebeveynlerinden ve onlara kötü davranan Koreli konfor istasyonu sahiplerinden nefret ediyorlardı. Ancak Kore Konseyi onları maaşlarına koyduktan sonra, ifadeleri tamamen değişti." Koreli Konsey'in maaşına katılmayı reddeden eski Koreli kadın sim mi-ja şunları söyledi: "BM özel Raportöründen önce ifade veren Koreli kadınlar Kore Konseyi adına yalan söyledi. Dolandırıcılar bunlar "

  591. Dutch government officially announced that “Dutch government regards the Comfort women system primarily as prostitution.” 1994 — The Bart von Poelgeest Report “The study by Dr. Poelgeest, then an officer of the Ministry of Interior of the Netherlands, was commissioned by the Dutch government in 1993. It is a comprehensive report on the recruitment, voluntary, of European women for pros**tution in the Dutch East Indies during the Japanese occupation in World War II. It also briefly touches upon recruitment of local women although that is not the focus of the study. There was nothing in the report to indicate a policy or practice of mass abd*uction of women, European or locals, as comfort women.”

Japan participated in the WW2 in 1939 -1945-1939=6 years In her speech, 9/18/2013 in France, She said that her human rights was violated by IJA in “Korean war”. -There is no IJA during the Korean war. Her human rights was likely violated by UN/US soldiers. 122 former Korean comfort women served for the UN/US soldiers sued their government in 2014. While Korean comfort women who sued Japan were only 9 in 1991. It means the US had more sex slaves than Japan.

  596. 1953 Jul 21 - "Country Girls Lured into Pros**tution" This July 7, 1953 article from the South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo describes a typical means by which innocent Korean girls were lured into pros**tution. That is, they are promised a good job, put into debt, and then forced to pay back the debt by working as pros**tutes. “When I was in South Korea in the navy in the late 1970s, the typical method was to put ads promising high-paying waitress jobs in cheap magazines. When girls showed up, they were given a furnished apartment to put them in high-interest debt, which their waitress salaries would never be able to pay off, which forced them into prostitution. At that time a person could not walk away from debt or declare personal bankruptcy.” Country Girls Lured into Pros**tution Go Ok-i (高玉伊), a 53-year-old woman who lives at No. 83 on 3rd Street in the Cho Ryang-dong area of Hanmok City, was operating a comfort woman business for UN servicemen until she suspended operations because of financial difficulties. Then on the 3rd of this month, with the intention of reopenning her business, Ms. Go had her maid, Im Mi-ja (林미子), lure five virgins, including 15-year-old Gang Pil-yeon (姜必連) of Jinju City (at No. 888 in Tongbong-dong), to Busan with promises of getting them jobs in the 34th Military Hospital. Telling the girls that they would need to wear "high-class" clothes if they expected to be hired, Ms. Go gave each of the six girls an advance of 5,000 hwan worth of high-class clothing with the idea of putting them to work as comfort women. However, she was detected by police authorities prior to that, and on the 7th, Ms. Go and Ms. Im were undergoing intense questioning at the Investigation Section of the Busan Police Department.

It says, “Amenities of the Japanese Armed Forces,” dated November 15, 1945. Among them are the following: From a captured Japanese document, “Rules for Restaurants and Houses of Pros**tution,” dated February 1943: MANILA: “Persons receiving permission to open business [comfort station] will…submit…copy of personal histories of employees….” “Permission is necessary before anyone joins the establishment.” SHANGHAI SECTOR: “The pros**tutes will possess licenses….” “Unlicensed pros**tutes are strictly prohibited from plying their trade.” “The pros**tute and the operator will share equally the proceeds of the work done by the pros**tute.” “Tacloban Brothel Regulations,” undated: “Places called brothels in these regulations are special brothels operated with Filipino women (licensed pros**tutes).”

  600. Korean authorities say “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  601. "Japonya'nın Kore'ye karşı işlediği iddia edilen suçlarla ilgili en sık tekrarlanan ve en çarpık efsanelerden biri, sözde “konfor kadınları" ile ilgilidir” Almanya Japonya doğru olmasa da “suçlarını telafi” olduğunu sonunda hakkındaki iddialar. Sadece bir yönü düşünmeme izin verin. 1965'te Kore hükümeti Park Chung-hee, iki ülke arasındaki ilişkileri normalleştiren Japonya ile bir anlaşma imzaladı. Antlaşma uyarınca Güney Kore, Japon egemenliğinin kurbanları için çok büyük miktarda ekonomik yardım, hibe, kredi ve önemli ölçüde tazminat aldı. (Japon hükümeti ulusal bütçenin 2,5 katını tazminat olarak ödedi, ancak Kore'de 40 yıl boyunca Japonya'ya karşı nefreti kışkırtmak için gizli tuttu ve Kore hükümeti gerçeği gizlemeye devam ediyor. Tüm bireysel iddialar 1965 Japonya-Güney Kore Antlaşması'nda çözülmesine rağmen, Japon hükümeti Koreli kadınlara birkaç kez iyi bir jest olarak tazminat teklif etti. Bununla birlikte, Japonya 1995 yılında Asya kadın Fonu aracılığıyla tazminat teklif ettiğinde(tazminat, Japonya Başbakanı'ndan kişisel bir özür mektubu ile geldi), Güney Koreli STK, eski konfor kadınlarını Japonya'nın özürünü ve tazminatını kabul etmemekle tehdit etti. STK'NIN emrine meydan okuyanların 61'i hain olarak doğrulandı, isimleri ve adresleri gazetelerde fahişe olarak yayınlandı ve hayatlarının geri kalanını utanç içinde yaşamak zorunda kaldılar. Güney Kore hükümeti, 2015 yılında konfor kadınları konusunda Japonya-Kore anlaşması imzaladı ve Japon hükümeti eski Koreli konfor kadınlarına kefaret parası olarak 1 milyar dolar ödedi. Ancak, Kore Moon Jae In yönetimi, 2018'de herhangi bir bildirimde bulunmaksızın anlaşmayı terk etti. Fesih duyurusu Japonya için tamamen kabul edilemez. Cumhurbaşkanı Moon Jae-in de dahil olmak üzere ROK Hükümeti, defalarca “anlaşmayı terk etmeyeceğini” ve “Japonya ile yeniden müzakere istemeyeceğini " belirtti”) - O sırada Japon hükümeti bireysel kurbanları telafi etmeyi teklif etti, ancak Güney Kore hükümeti teklifi reddetti ve tüm parayı alması ve vatandaşlarını telafi etmesi konusunda ısrar etti. Bu paranın çok azı (sadece 250 ABD doları) bireylere ödendi ve bunun yerine Güney Kore'nin ekonomik gelişimi için kullanıldı. Japon hükümeti, konfor kadın sistemi için özür diledi (aslında savaştan önce hem Kore hem de Japonya'da var olan ve çok sayıda Japon fahişenin yanı sıra diğer ülkelerden gelenleri de içeren lisanslı fuhuş sisteminin bir uzantısıydı), Almanya hiçbir zaman özür dilemedi veya eski fahişelere herhangi bir tazminat ödemedi. Aslında, hiç kimse böyle bir şey talep etmedi, çünkü işgal altındaki ülkelerde haklı ya da yanlış bir şekilde işbirlikçi olarak görülen bu kadınlar hiçbir zaman destekçi ya da savunucu bulamadılar” - Profesör Andrzej Kozlowski, Varşova Üniversitesi

  602. “Perhaps most disconcertingly, students typically have little, if any, awareness of South Korea’s state-sponsored se*xual labor before and after Japanese annexation. During the Koryo(918 to 1392 CE) and Joseon (1392-1910 CE) dynasties, Korea sent tens of thousands of “tribute women” (kongnyo) to China. Since 1945, an estimated one-quarter to one-half million “comfort women” have serviced American soldiers, with the knowledge and, during the 1970s, encouragement and supervision, of the SK government. Modern-day se*x workers in South Korea, who often service military personnel, receive little public or government sympathy and, if migrant workers, are often deported. They suffer some of the most punitive se*x work laws among OECD countries, forcing most underground, because the dominant societal narrative holds that only a few, immoral women voluntarily engage in paid s*ex work.” - On ‘Comfort Women’ and Academic Freedom

Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abd*ucted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council. They are swi*ndlers"

Japan participated in the WW2 in 1939 -1945-1939=6 years In her speech, 9/18/2013 in France, She said that her human rights has been violated by IJA in “Korean war”. -There is no IJA during the Korean war. Her human rights has been likely violated by UN/US soldiers. 122 of Korean comfort women for the UN/US sued their government in 2014. While Korean comfort women who sued Japan were only 9 in 1991. It means the US had more sex slaves than Japan.

  605. As academics, we are used to dealing with exagge:rations. We are not used to finding that the story is pure fiction. But that is the nature of the comfort-women-se*x-slave story. It’s been a bizarrely unending story. Elderly Korean women claim to have been forced at Japanese bayonet-point to work as sex slaves. The Japanese government replies that the Korean government waived claims like this by treaty in 1965. But it expresses sympathy anyway, and offers more money. Koreans still complain. The Japanese government apologizes again, offers more money, and the Korean government promises never to raise the question again. Then a new political party takes power, declares the Japanese apology insincere, and starts the process all over again. Expressing sympathy to elderly women who have had a rough life is fine. Paying money to an ally in order to rebuild a stable relationship is fine. But the claims about enslaved Korean comfort women are historically untrue. The Japanese army did not dragoon Korean women to work in its brothels. It did not use Korean women as s*ex slaves. The claims to the contrary are simply ー factually ー false. -HARVARD university JOHN M. OLIN CENTER FOR LAW, ECONOMICS, AND BUSINESS

  607. Dutch government officially announced that “Dutch government regards the Comfort women system primarily as pros**tution.” 1994 — The Bart von Poelgeest Report “The study by Dr. Poelgeest, then an officer of the Ministry of Interior of the Netherlands, was commissioned by the Dutch government in 1993. It is a comprehensive report on the recruitment, voluntary, of European women for pros**tution in the Dutch East Indies during the Japanese occupation in World War II. It also briefly touches upon recruitment of local women although that is not the focus of the study. There was nothing in the report to indicate a policy or practice of mass abd*uction of women, European or locals, as comfort women.” “During the war in China in the 1930s, the occurrence of venereal disease among the troops had led to problems with deployment and the Japanese military forces therefore decided to set up military brothels as a preventive measure. In addition to local women, Japanese and Korean women – Korea being part of the Japanese Empire – were recruited for the brothels in China.” “There’s no mass abdu*ction” ‪”Korean couple had lured European women to the establishment under false pretences.” “In practice, it was the local military commanders who had to draw up regulations on the establishment of military brothels in their territory. The chief of staff of the 16th army on Java and thus head of the military administration there decided that a license was required for the establishment of a military brothel. A license was issued only if certain conditions were met, relating to, for example, regular medical check-ups and payment. A further precondition was that the women working in the brothels had to do so voluntarily; according to the regulations, a license would only be issued if the women involved signed a statement to the effect that they were providing their service voluntarily.”

  608. "Um dos mitos mais repetidos e distorcidos a respeito dos supostos crimes do Japão contra a Coréia, diz respeito às chamadas "mulheres de conforto". Finalmente, sobre as alegações de que a Alemanha "expiou" apropriadamente por seus crimes, enquanto o Japão não o fez. Deixe-me considerar apenas um aspecto. Em 1965, o governo coreano de Park Chung-hee assinou um tratado com o Japão, normalizando as relações entre os dois países. Nos termos do tratado, a Coréia do Sul recebeu grandes quantidades de ajuda econômica, subsídios, empréstimos e, significativamente, indenizações para as vítimas do domínio japonês. (O governo japonês pagou 2,5 vezes o orçamento nacional como compensação, mas manteve-o em segredo durante 40 anos na Coréia para incitar o ódio contra o Japão e o governo coreano continua tentando esconder a verdade. Embora todas as reivindicações individuais tenham sido resolvidas no Tratado Japão-Coréia do Sul de 1965, o governo japonês ainda ofereceu várias vezes indenização às mulheres coreanas como um bom gesto. Entretanto, quando o Japão ofereceu indenização através do Fundo para Mulheres Asiáticas em 1995 (a indenização veio com uma carta pessoal de desculpas do Primeiro Ministro do Japão), a ONG sul-coreana ameaçou antigas mulheres de conforto para não aceitar o pedido de desculpas e a indenização do Japão. 61 das que desafiaram a ordem da ONG foram verificadas como traidoras, seus nomes e endereços foram publicados em jornais como prostitutas, e tiveram que viver o resto de suas vidas em desgraça. O governo sul-coreano assinou o acordo Japão-Coreia sobre a questão das mulheres de conforto em 2015 e o governo japonês pagou 1 bilhão de dólares como dinheiro de expiação para as ex-coreanas de conforto. No entanto, a administração do Moon Jae In da Coréia abandonou o acordo em 2018 sem qualquer aviso prévio. O anúncio da dissolução é totalmente inaceitável para o Japão. Enquanto o governo da ROK, incluindo o presidente Moon Jae-in, declarou repetidamente em público que "não abandonará o acordo" e "não pedirá uma renegociação com o Japão") - O governo japonês naquela época se ofereceu para compensar as vítimas individuais, mas o governo sul-coreano recusou a oferta e insistiu que deveria receber todo o dinheiro e compensar seus próprios cidadãos. Muito pouco desse dinheiro (apenas 250 dólares) foi pago a indivíduos e, em vez disso, foi usado para o desenvolvimento econômico da Coréia do Sul. O governo japonês pediu desculpas por seu sistema de mulheres de conforto (que na verdade era uma extensão do sistema de prostituição licenciada que existia tanto na Coréia como no Japão antes da guerra e que envolvia um grande número de prostitutas japonesas, assim como as de outros países), a Alemanha nunca pediu desculpas ou pagou qualquer compensação a qualquer ex-profissional. Na verdade, ninguém jamais exigiu tais coisas, uma vez que essas mulheres, que com razão ou sem razão eram vistas como colaboradoras nos países ocupados, nunca encontraram nenhum apoiador ou defensor". -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, Universidade de Varsóvia

  609. Kim said she has never received an apology from Japan, which is a flat-out lie. The truth is that comfort women's organization “Korean council” embezzle donations, force comfort women to lie, obstruct reconciliation with Japan, so that they can continue the comfort women propaganda. Japan has apologized many times and paid huge amounts of atonement money to the Korean women, but the Korean government has not given it to the women. *Japan-South Korea Treaty of 1965 During treaty negotiations, the Japanese government asked the S Korean government to identify and separate individual claims from the treaty because the Japanese government wanted to make sure the survivors received compensation. The South Korean government declined and accepted the entire sum of 800 million dollars (over ten billion dollars in today's money) in place of its citizens and spent all of it on infrastructures. Therefore it is not reasonable for the South Korean government to keep asking for additional compensation from Japan. And their claim that they were forced into pros**tution is also a lie. A Korean professor interviewed the Korean women in 2003. After the interview professor commented: “I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean spi*es) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.”

  610. If Koreans thoght the Japanese comfort women system was so bad, why did the Korean Government set up a similar 'comfort women' system for UN soldiers after the Japanese left Korea? 1959 Oct 19 Donga Ilbo - "66% of Comfort Women Infected" October 19, 1959 ab article from the South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo. It is entitled "66% of Comfort Women Infected--Results of a Nationwide Testing of Female Entertainers." The article talks about how nationwide 392,707 female entertainers, including 261,089 comfort women, were tested for venereal disease over a 1-year period. The article is evidence that in 1959 Korea was registering women to be "comfort women," which was a euphemism for "military pros**tute." Korea was registering women to be pros***utes for UN soldiers stationed in Korea. The 261,089 comfort woment mentioned in the article is evidence that Korea had a significant number of comfort women, of which 66.4% were infected with a veneral disease. In the 1990s South Koreans begin criticizing Japan for its comfort women system in World War II, but have hardly said anything about its own comfort women system

The footage filmed on Aug 15th, 1992 at KBS. That seems a little bit ironic that the announcer reconfirmed that she became Comfort Woman NOT because she was abd*ucted by force by Imperial Japanese Army, but she just followed a man by her own will.

  615.  @locomoco8007  Some Israeli organizations have expressed that it is improper and offensive for them for what Korean/Chinese activists are attempting to compare the issue of Comfort Women to the wrongdoing done by Germany “The actions of Japan in the occupied countries were thoroughly investigated after the war. The guilty parties faced an international tribunal in Tokyo. Though one of the judges, Justice R.B. Pal from India, found some of the charges excessive and issued a dissenting opinion, Japan accepted the findings and the verdict in an agreement signed after the end of the American occupation in 1952. At no point during the trial was the alleged government conspiracy to enslave sexually 200,000 women brought to the judges’ attention and it is impossible to assume that they would overlook something so important. “The issue of the army brothels was investigated by the American authorities. Declassified documents show that the conclusion was that in most cases they employed paid prostitutes. Again, there was no sex slave conspiracy uncovered.” In the 1960’s, Japan negotiated a reparations settlement with South Korea, signed in 1965. Consequently, a large sum was paid in full in several installments. During that period, South Korea didn’t raise the “comfort women” issue, and neither did China. That happened only in 1991.” -Israel Friendship association

Of course, for some Japanese, including many of the leaders, this was only convenient propaganda, but thousands of others sincerely believed in it, and so did thousands of people in many Western colonies”

In 2007, after Lee became a leading voice of the redress campaign, she publicly testified that she was forcibly dragged from her home in the middle of the night by Japanese soldiers, covering her mouth so she could not call to her mother. More well known but much under discussed is the willingness of many surviving “comfort women” and relatives of the deceased to accept compensation from Japan. Thirty-five out of 46 registered survivors, and 68 relatives of deceased “comfort women,” accepted payments from a 1 billion yen foundation (approximately $9.27 million), which Japan funded pursuant to the 2015 accord between then Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo and South Korean President Park Geun-hye. Japan’s government also issued Abe’s official “apologies and remorse to all the women who underwent immeasurable and painful experiences and suffered incurable physical and psychological wounds as comfort women.

The United States used pros**tutes as spies in Iraq, for example, but not Afghanistan to my knowledge, because the “pros**tutes” in Afghanistan were young boys, other than the Chinese who flooded Kabul to service westerners. -Community relations: Ra:ping or just sleeping with local women can open a new battlefront. -Morale.

  620. [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school. —-

  628. Perhaps most disconcertingly, students typically have little, if any, awareness of South Korea’s state-sponsored sexual labor before and after Japanese colonization. During the Koryo(918 to 1392 CE) and Joseon (1392-1910 CE) dynasties, Korea sent tens of thousands of “tribute women” (kongnyo) to China. Since 1945, an estimated one-quarter to one-half million “comfort women” have serviced American soldiers, with the knowledge and, during the 1970s, encouragement and supervision, of the South Korean government. Modern-day sex workers in South Korea, who often service military personnel, receive little public or government sympathy and, if migrant workers, are often deported. They suffer some of the most punitive sex work laws among OECD countries, forcing most underground, because the dominant societal narrative holds that only a few, immoral women voluntarily engage in paid sex work.

  631. In August 1999 police issued an arrest warrant for Kim Kyong Soo, president of the Korean Special Tourism Industry Association, on suspicion that he had brought more than 1,000 Filipina and Russian women into Korea to work as bar girls around U.S. military bases. A judge cancelled the warrant for lack of evidence and closed the case. Nevertheless, an American sergeant told Time magazine, in words chillingly similar to the Korean comfort women stories, that the Russian and Filipina women in the Dongducheon bars “are here because they’ve been tricked. They’re told they’re going to be bartending or waitressing, but once they get here, things are different.” In 2005 a former Filipina bar worker was awarded $5,000 from a South Korean nightclub owner who forced her to have sex with U.S. soldiers for money, and a club owner was convicted of illegal brothel-keeping.

On the other hand, SK government has never apologized even deny its wrongdoing in Vietnam 【Who are the Lai Dai Han?】 The “Lai Dai Han” are the tens of thousands of children of Vietnamese women ra*ped by South Korean soldiers during the Vietnam War. Between 1964 and 1973, some 320,000 South Korean soldiers were deployed to Vietnam to fight alongside the United States. Some of the women that were ra*ped or experienced sex*ual violence were as young as 【12 or 13 】at the time, and more than 800 victims are still alive. Today, as a result of the ra*pe and sexual violence that took place, tens of thousands of young adults of mixed Vietnamese-Korean heritage live in the shadows of Vietnamese society. Many of the Lai Dai Han and their families live in severe poverty, cannot read or write and do not have access to social services, such as healthcare and education. The Government of South Korea has never recognised the se*xual violence that took place and has never apologised for the crimes of its soldiers.

  637.  @njrose2127  - Pointing Fingers, Shifting Blame The commission member was uncomfortable with the arrangement. In response to opposition from the Japanese government, she said that the statue was made using donations from the private sector. The commission is responsible only for the inscription, and commission members attended the unveiling ceremony only on invitation, the commission member said. Manila city administrator Jojo Alcovendaz, who attended the unveiling ceremony on behalf of the mayor, was uncomfortable with the ceremony’s touching on unresolved issues between Japan and China. Before reading the prepared congratulatory remarks from the mayor, Alcovendaz openly expressed his hopes that the statue would not lead to any trouble. Alcovendaz explained that he tried to confirm with the head of the historical Commission whether they had received permission for the statue inscription from the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs, but said he received no immediate reply. The city and the historical commission are pointing fingers at one another and attempting to shift blame away from themselves. The historical commission announced the unveiling ceremony on its website on December 6—two days before the event—but thereafter deleted it due to the fuss the statue had caused. The historical commission places around 30 inscriptions each year on historical structures throughout the Philippines. However, the commission member with whom we spoke said that placing an inscription on a newly-erected statue is “out of the ordinary.” Open Only to CCP Media The names of five individuals and groups are inscribed on the back of the pedestal as donors. Almost all of them are 🇨🇳. Also inscribed, in English, is “Statue of a Filipino Comfort Woman,” along with the name of the Filipino maker of the statue. We asked several people who stopped to look at the statue whether they had ever heard of comfort women before. Not a single person was able to say who the comfort women were.” - Foreign Ministry Didn’t Know: Chinese Hand Seen in Comfort Women Statue in Manila

  642. A Taiwanese eye witness commenting about the time when Taiwan was under the rule of Japan. "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a war crim*inal. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

  643. The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents."

Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military.

  644. She’s lying Kim Bok-Dong testified that she worked as a comfort woman for 8 years until 1948 but WW2 ended 1945. -IJA didn’t exist after WW2. Japan participated the WW2 in 1939 -1945-1939=6 years In her speech, 9/18/2013 in France, She said that her human rights was violated by IJA in “Korean war”. -There is no IJA during the Korean war. Her human rights was likely violated by UN/US soldiers.

  645. Kim said she has never received an apology from Japan, which is a flat-out lie. The truth is that comfort women's organization “Korean council” embezzle donations, force comfort women to lie, obstruct reconciliation with Japan, so that they can continue the comfort women propaganda. Japan has apologized many times and paid huge amounts of atonement money to the Korean women, but the Korean government has not given it to the women. *Japan-South Korea Treaty of 1965 During treaty negotiations, the Japanese government asked the S Korean government to identify and separate individual claims from the treaty because the Japanese government wanted to make sure the survivors received compensation. The South Korean government declined and accepted the entire sum of 800 million dollars (over ten billion dollars in today's money) in place of its citizens and spent all of it on infrastructures. Therefore it is not reasonable for the South Korean government to keep asking for additional compensation from Japan. And their claim that they were forced into pros**tution is also a lie. A Korean professor interviewed the Korean women in 2003. After the interview professor commented: “I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean spi*es) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.”

  646. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  647. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen.

  648. "L'un des mythes les plus souvent répétés et les plus déformés concernant les prétendus crimes du Japon contre la Corée, concerne les soi-disant "femmes de réconfort". Enfin, sur les affirmations selon lesquelles l'Allemagne a correctement "expié" ses crimes alors que le Japon ne l'a pas fait. Permettez-moi de ne considérer qu'un seul aspect. En 1965, le gouvernement coréen de Park Chung-hee a signé un traité avec le Japon, normalisant les relations entre les deux pays. En vertu de ce traité, la Corée du Sud a reçu de très importantes aides économiques, des subventions, des prêts et, surtout, des compensations pour les victimes de la domination japonaise. (Le gouvernement japonais a versé 2,5 fois le budget national à titre de compensation, mais a gardé le secret pendant 40 ans en Corée pour inciter à la haine envers le Japon et le gouvernement coréen continue d'essayer de cacher la vérité. Bien que toutes les réclamations individuelles aient été réglées dans le cadre du traité Japon-Corée du Sud de 1965, le gouvernement japonais a quand même offert plusieurs fois une indemnisation aux Coréennes, en guise de geste positif. Cependant, lorsque le Japon a offert une indemnisation par le biais du Fonds pour les femmes asiatiques en 1995 (l'indemnisation était accompagnée d'une lettre d'excuses personnelles du Premier ministre japonais), une ONG sud-coréenne a menacé les anciennes femmes de réconfort de ne pas accepter les excuses du Japon et l'indemnisation. 61 de celles qui ont défié l'ordre de l'ONG ont été reconnues comme traîtresses, leurs noms et adresses ont été publiés dans les journaux comme prostituées, et elles ont dû vivre le reste de leur vie dans la honte. Le gouvernement sud-coréen a signé l'accord Japon-Corée sur la question des femmes de réconfort en 2015 et le gouvernement japonais a versé 1 milliard de dollars à titre d'argent expiatoire aux anciennes femmes de réconfort coréennes. Cependant, l'administration de Moon Jae In en Corée a abandonné l'accord en 2018 sans aucun préavis. L'annonce de la dissolution est totalement inacceptable pour le Japon. Alors que le gouvernement de la Corée du Sud, y compris le président Moon Jae-in, a déclaré à plusieurs reprises en public qu'il "n'abandonnera pas l'accord" et "ne demandera pas de renégociation avec le Japon") - Le gouvernement japonais a alors proposé d'indemniser les victimes individuelles, mais le gouvernement sud-coréen a refusé l'offre et a insisté pour recevoir tout l'argent et indemniser lui-même ses citoyens. Une très petite partie de cet argent (seulement 250 dollars) a été versée à des particuliers et a plutôt été utilisée pour le développement économique de la Corée du Sud. Le gouvernement japonais s'est excusé pour son système de femmes de réconfort (qui était en fait une extension du système de prostitution sous licence qui existait en Corée et au Japon avant la guerre et qui impliquait un grand nombre de prostituées japonaises ainsi que celles d'autres pays), l'Allemagne n'a jamais présenté d'excuses ni versé de compensation à aucune ancienne prostituée. En fait, personne n'a jamais exigé de telles choses, puisque ces femmes, qui étaient considérées à tort ou à raison comme des collaboratrices dans les pays occupés, n'ont jamais trouvé de partisans ou de défenseurs". -Professeur Andrzej Kozlowski, Université de Varsovie

  656. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  657. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard afte

  658.  @sharyndoyle6362  You’re welcome☺️ If you are interested in this issue, try Googling "How Beijing weaponizes‘ comfort women 'as propaganda tool ASIA TIMES” The article says “The ‘comfort women’ issue appears, on the surface, to be a bilateral problem between South Korea and Japan. In reality, it is deeper. The key player is increasingly not South Korea, but China, and the ultimate target is not Japan, but the United States, as the comfort women are co-opted by Beijing in its anti-American information war” “It is notable that several prominent persons connected with Korean Council, the most vocal comfort woman-related NGO in South Korea, have been arrested as North Korean sp*ies.”

  659. Google "국내 원전 삼중수소 방출량, 후쿠시마보다 많아" "Korea Releases Tritium More Than Fukushima" the article says: - Domestic tritium emissions are higher than those of Japan. - As a result of 7 meetings of the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission, concluded that there was no problem to release the tritium water from nuclear plant. According to data released on the website of the Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co., a domestic nuclear power plant and a Korean nuclear power plant have already dumped 774 trillion becquerels of tritium water into the sea in the past four years. The amount of tritium released into the air as a gas is as much as 1400 trillion becquerels. Our country has been releasing tritium water to the sea, which is not only us, but also all countries that use nuclear power plants and reprocessing facilities such as Britain and China are still releasing tritium water into the sea.

  660. 1959 Oct 19 Donga Ilbo - "66% of Comfort Women Infected" October 19, 1959 ab article from the South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo. It is entitled "66% of Comfort Women Infected--Results of a Nationwide Testing of Female Entertainers." The article talks about how nationwide 392,707 female entertainers, including 261,089 comfort women, were tested for venereal disease over a 1-year period. The article is evidence that in 1959 Korea was registering women to be "comfort women," which was a euphemism for "military pros**tute." Korea was registering women to be pros***utes for UN soldiers stationed in Korea. The 261,089 comfort woment mentioned in the article is evidence that Korea had a significant number of comfort women, of which 66.4% were infected with a veneral disease. In the 1990s South Koreans begin criticizing Japan for its comfort women system in World War II, but have hardly said anything about its own comfort women system "If Koreans thoght the Japanese comfort women system was so bad, why did the Korean Government set up a similar 'comfort women' system for UN soldiers after the Japanese left Korea?"

  661.  @larryhoppe7662  The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abd*ucted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council. They are swi*ndlers"

  662. Have you watched Lee Yon-Soo’s video ? Check my saved video Lee Yong-soo, the most famous comfort woman, filmed in 1992 is now found, in which she testified that she became Comfort Woman just because she followed a man who gave her a dress and shoes, NOT because she was tricked or abd*ucted by force by Imperial Japanese Army.

  663. Os testemunhos das ex-Comfort Women são inconsistentes, visto que foram treinados pela organização extremamente esquerdista "Conselho Coreano" ⚫︎Em uma entrevista com a professora Chunghee Sarah Soh, da San Francisco State University, uma ex-consoladora coreana Kim Sun-ok disse que foi vendida por seus pais quatro vezes. Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em uma entrevista com o professor Park da Sejong University na Coreia do Sul, uma ex-coreana Bae Chun-hee disse que odiava o pai que a vendeu. Ela disse que os homens que recrutaram mulheres coreanas e operaram estações de conforto eram “todos coreanos”, e que as mulheres coreanas que testemunharam perante o Relator Especial da ONU mentiram em nome do Conselho Coreano. ⚫︎Uma ex-consoladora coreana Mun Oku-chu disse em suas memórias: "Fui recrutado por um dono de estação de conforto coreano. Economizei uma quantia considerável de dinheiro com gorjetas, então abri uma conta poupança. Não podia acreditar que pudesse ter tanto dinheiro em minha conta. Um de meus amigos juntou muitos joias, por isso comprei um diamante. Costumava ver filmes japoneses e peças de Kabuki em que os jogadores vinham do Japão. Tornei-me uma mulher popular em Rangum. Havia muito mais oficiais em Rangum do que perto da linha de frente, por isso fui convidado para muitas festas. Cantei canções em festas e recebi muitas dicas. Coloquei um par de sapatos de salto alto, um casaco verde e carregava uma bolsa de couro de crocodilo. Eu andava com um vestido da moda. Ninguém na cidade Eu poderia imaginar que eu era uma mulher reconfortante. Eu me senti muito feliz e orgulhosa. Recebi permissão para voltar para casa, mas não queria voltar para a Coréia. Eu queria ficar em Rangoon. " De acordo com o professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul, Mun Oku-chu continuou a trabalhar como prostituta na Coréia após a guerra. Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em uma entrevista ao jornal coreano The Hankyoreh (o artcile foi publicado em 15 de maio de 1991), uma ex-consorte coreana Kim Hak-sun disse que foi vendida por sua mãe. Em 1993, Kim Hak-sun disse ao professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul: "Minha mãe me mandou treinar como Kiseng em Pyongyang e depois me vendeu". Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi abduzida pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em 1993, uma ex-consorte coreana Kim Gun-ja disse ao professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul: "Fui vendida por meu pai adotivo". Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. Kim Gun-ja também testemunhou perante o Comitê de Relações Exteriores dos Estados Unidos em 2007 e disse que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em 1993, uma ex-consoladora coreana Lee Yong-soo disse ao professor Ahn Byong Jik da Universidade de Seul: "Na época, eu estava mal vestido e miserável. No dia em que saí de casa com minha amiga Kim Pun-sun sem contar para minha mãe, Eu estava usando uma saia preta, uma camisa de algodão e tamancos de madeira nos pés. Você não sabe como fiquei feliz quando recebi um vestido vermelho e um par de sapatos de couro de um recrutador coreano. " Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi abduzida pelos militares japoneses. Lee Yong-soo também testemunhou perante o Comitê de Relações Exteriores da Câmara dos Estados Unidos em 2007. Ela foi informada de que tinha cinco minutos para falar. Ela ignorou a instrução e continuou por mais de uma hora fazendo uma performance de choro e gritos. Seu falso testemunho resultou na aprovação da Resolução 121 da Câmara dos Representantes dos Estados Unidos. Em 2017, Lee Yong-soo deu falsos testemunhos perante a Câmara Municipal de São Francisco, o que resultou na construção de uma estátua feminina de conforto naquela cidade. ⚫︎ De acordo com a professora Chunghee Sarah Soh, da San Francisco State University, uma ex-coreana Moon Pil-ki foi recrutada por um agente do dono de uma estação de conforto coreana e levada para a Manchúria com outras quatro mulheres. Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em 1993, uma ex-mulher coreana de conforto, Kil Won-ok, disse ao professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul: "Fui vendida por meus pais". Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ De acordo com várias testemunhas, o Conselho Coreano (grupo ativista pró-Norte) treinou mulheres para dizer "Eu fui sequestrada pelos militares japoneses." O professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul, diz: "Quando entrevistei ex-mulheres consoladoras no início da década de 1990, nenhuma delas tinha nada de ruim a dizer sobre os militares japoneses. Elas odiavam seus pais que as vendiam e os donos de consoles coreanos que as maltratavam. Mas depois que o Conselho Coreano os colocou em sua folha de pagamento, seus depoimentos mudaram completamente. " ⚫︎ Uma ex-coreana Sim Mi-ja que se recusou a estar na folha de pagamento do Conselho Coreano disse: "As mulheres coreanas, que testemunharam perante o Relator Especial da ONU, mentiram em nome do Conselho Coreano. Elas são vigaristas".

  664.  @lucasas5005  Em 2013, foi descoberto um diário escrito pelo gerente de uma estação de conforto coreana, que deixa claro que os empresários coreanos não só recrutaram mulheres coreanas, mas também possuíam e operavam estações de conforto. O diário contém o relato detalhado dos proprietários coreanos que transferiram os enormes lucros que obtiveram com a exploração de estações de conforto. Os operadores das estações de conforto eram civis e não militares. Relatórios mensais de cônsules gerais japoneses locais em várias cidades chinesas identificam operadores de estações de conforto com mulheres de conforto coreanas como coreanas. Não foram relatadas estações de conforto operadas pelo Japão com mulheres de conforto coreanas. As estações de conforto eram empresas operadas por civis. O próprio autor do diário ganhou 43.000 ienes em dois anos, uma soma enorme considerando que o salário médio mensal de um trabalhador durante esse período de tempo era de apenas 40 ienes.

  665. Centenas de milhares de coreanos serviram no exército japonês, inclusive como oficiais. Os coreanos eram polícias e oficiais eleitos. Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, muitas atrocidades cometidas por "japoneses" contra prisioneiros aliados foram cometidas por coreanos. Michael Breen, colaborador do Korea Times e autor do popular texto The Koreans (2004) reagiu de forma crítica. "Eram os bandidos, os brutos, os monstros, os mais horríveis..." Não foram julgados como soldados ou guardas do campo de prisioneiros de guerra que tinham feito o seu trabalho. Foram julgados por excesso de zelo, por decisões e acções para além do dever. Eram os bandidos, os brutos, os monstros, os mais horríveis... Breen descreve as atrocidades cometidas pelos guardas do campo coreanos que representavam indignidades que nenhum ser humano deveria sofrer. Castigou a comissão pelo seu politicamente correcto: "A Comissão deveria saber que as mulheres de conforto que se reuniam eram coreanas e que as pessoas torturadas nas esquadras de polícia eram na sua maioria coreanas".

  667. Algumas organizações israelitas expressaram que é impróprio e ofensivo para elas o que os activistas coreanos estão a tentar comparar a questão das Mulheres de Conforto com o Holocausto feito pela Alemanha "Um exame dos factos esclarecerá a validade da declaração, mas mesmo antes de lá ir, é claro como o Holocausto tem sido explorado de forma irresponsável. Aqueles que o utilizam aqui distorcem e denigrem o seu significado. As acções do Japão nos países ocupados foram minuciosamente investigadas após a guerra. Os culpados enfrentaram um tribunal internacional em Tóquio. Embora um dos juízes, o Juiz R.B. Pal da Índia, tenha considerado excessivas algumas das acusações e emitido um parecer divergente, o Japão aceitou as conclusões e o veredicto num acordo assinado após o fim da ocupação americana em 1952. Em nenhum momento do julgamento foi a alegada conspiração governamental para escravizar sexualmente 200.000 mulheres levada ao conhecimento dos juízes e é impossível supor que elas ignorariam algo tão importante. A questão dos bordéis do exército foi investigada pelas autoridades americanas. Documentos desclassificados mostram que a conclusão foi que na maioria dos casos empregavam prostitutas remuneradas. Mais uma vez, não foi descoberta qualquer conspiração de escravatura sexual. Nos anos 60, o Japão negociou um acordo de reparações com a Coreia do Sul, assinado em 1965. Consequentemente, uma grande soma foi paga na totalidade em várias parcelas. Durante esse período, a Coreia do Sul não levantou a questão das "mulheres de conforto", e a China também não. Isso só aconteceu em 1991". -Associação de Amizade Israel

Eski konfor kadın tanıklıkları, organizasyon tarafından eğitildiği için tutarsız Professor San Francisco Eyalet Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Chunghee Sarah Soh ile yaptığı röportajda, eski bir Koreli konfor kadını kim Sun-ok, ailesi tarafından dört kez satıldığını söyledi. Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından görevden alındığını ifade etti. Güney Kore'deki sejong Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Park ile yaptığı röportajda, eski bir Koreli konfor kadını BAE Chun-hee, onu satan babasından nefret ettiğini söyledi. Koreli kadınları işe alan ve konfor istasyonlarını işleten erkeklerin “tüm Koreli” olduğunu ve BM özel Raportöründen önce ifade veren Koreli kadınların Kore Konseyi adına yalan söylediğini söyledi. Former eski bir Koreli konfor kadın mun Oku-chu anılarında söyledi: "Koreli bir konfor istasyonu sahibi tarafından işe alındım. Bahşişlerden önemli miktarda para biriktirdim, bu yüzden bir tasarruf hesabı açtım. Tasarruf hesabımda bu kadar çok paraya sahip olabileceğime inanamadım. Arkadaşlarımdan biri birçok mücevher topladı, bu yüzden gittim ve bir elmas aldım. Sık sık Japon filmlerini izlemeye gittim ve oyuncuların anakara Japonya'dan geldiği Kabuki oyunları. Rangoon'da popüler bir kadın oldum. Rangoon'da cephe hatlarından çok daha fazla subay vardı, bu yüzden birçok partiye davet edildim. Partilerde şarkı söyledim ve çok fazla ipucu aldım. Bir çift yüksek topuklu ayakkabı, yeşil bir ceket giydim ve timsah derisinden bir çanta taşıdım. Modaya uygun bir elbiseyle dolaştım. Kasabadaki hiç kimse benim rahat bir kadın olduğumu tahmin edemezdi. Çok mutlu ve gururlu hissettim. Eve dönmek için izin aldım ama Kore'ye dönmek istemedim. Rangoon'da kalmak istedim." Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e göre, mun Oku-chu savaştan sonra Kore'de fahişe olarak çalışmaya devam etti. Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. Koreli hankyoreh gazetesine verdiği röportajda (artcile 15 Mayıs 1991'de yayınlandı) eski bir Koreli konfor kadını kim hak-sun annesi tarafından satıldığını söyledi. 1993'te kim Hak-sun, Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e şunları söyledi: "annem beni Pyongyang'da bir Kiseng olarak eğitmeye gönderdi ve sonra beni sattı." Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. 1993'te eski bir Koreli konfor kadını kim gun-ja, Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e şunları söyledi: "üvey babam tarafından satıldım." Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. Kim Gun-ja ayrıca 2007 yılında Amerika Birleşik Devletleri Dışişleri Temsilciler Meclisi Komitesinde ifade verdi ve Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını söyledi. 1993'te eski bir Koreli konfor kadını Lee Yong-soo, Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e şunları söyledi: "o zamanlar perişan giyinmiş ve sefildim. Anneme söylemeden arkadaşım kim Pun-sun ile evden ayrıldığım gün, siyah bir etek, pamuklu bir gömlek ve ayaklarımın üzerinde tahta takunya giyiyordum. Koreli bir işverenden kırmızı bir elbise ve bir çift deri ayakkabı aldığımda ne kadar memnun olduğumu bilmiyorsun." Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. Lee Yong-soo da 2007 yılında Dışişleri Birleşik Devletleri ev Komitesi önünde ifade verdi. Konuşmak için beş dakikası olduğu söylendi. Talimatı görmezden geldi ve bir saatten fazla bir süre ağlama ve çığlık atma performansına devam etti. Onun yanlış ifadesi, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri Temsilciler Meclisi'nin 121 sayılı kararının kabulüne yol açtı. 2017 yılında Lee Yong-soo, San Francisco şehir Konseyi'nden önce yanlış ifadeler verdi ve bu da o şehirde bir konfor kadın heykelinin kurulmasıyla sonuçlandı. San Francisco Eyalet Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Chunghee Sarah Soh'a göre, eski bir Koreli konfor kadını Moon pil-ki, bir Koreli konfor istasyonu sahibinin ajanı tarafından işe alındı ve diğer dört kadınla birlikte mançurya'ya götürüldü. Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. 1993'te eski bir Koreli konfor kadını olan kil won-ok, Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e şunları söyledi: "ailem tarafından satıldım."

Birkaç tanığa göre, Kore Konseyi (kuzey yanlısı aktivist grup) kadınları "Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldım" demeleri için eğitti." Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik, " 1990'ların başında eski konfor kadınlarıyla röportaj yaptığımda, hiçbirinin Japon ordusu hakkında söyleyecek kötü bir şeyi yoktu. Onları satan ebeveynlerinden ve onlara kötü davranan Koreli konfor istasyonu sahiplerinden nefret ediyorlardı. Ancak Kore Konseyi onları maaşlarına koyduktan sonra, ifadeleri tamamen değişti."

  669. "Japonya'nın Kore'ye karşı işlediği iddia edilen suçlarla ilgili en sık tekrarlanan ve en çarpık efsanelerden biri, sözde “konfor kadınları" ile ilgilidir” Almanya Japonya doğru olmasa da “suçlarını telafi” olduğunu sonunda hakkındaki iddialar. Sadece bir yönü düşünmeme izin verin. 1965'te Kore hükümeti Park Chung-hee, iki ülke arasındaki ilişkileri normalleştiren Japonya ile bir anlaşma imzaladı. Antlaşma uyarınca Güney Kore, Japon egemenliğinin kurbanları için çok büyük miktarda ekonomik yardım, hibe, kredi ve önemli ölçüde tazminat aldı. (Japon hükümeti ulusal bütçenin 2,5 katını tazminat olarak ödedi, ancak Kore'de 40 yıl boyunca Japonya'ya karşı nefreti kışkırtmak için gizli tuttu ve Kore hükümeti gerçeği gizlemeye devam ediyor. Tüm bireysel iddialar 1965 Japonya-Güney Kore Antlaşması'nda çözülmesine rağmen, Japon hükümeti Koreli kadınlara birkaç kez iyi bir jest olarak tazminat teklif etti. Bununla birlikte, Japonya 1995 yılında Asya kadın Fonu aracılığıyla tazminat teklif ettiğinde(tazminat, Japonya Başbakanı'ndan kişisel bir özür mektubu ile geldi), Güney Koreli STK, eski konfor kadınlarını Japonya'nın özürünü ve tazminatını kabul etmemekle tehdit etti. STK'NIN emrine meydan okuyanların 61'i hain olarak doğrulandı, isimleri ve adresleri gazetelerde fahişe olarak yayınlandı ve hayatlarının geri kalanını utanç içinde yaşamak zorunda kaldılar. Güney Kore hükümeti, 2015 yılında konfor kadınları konusunda Japonya-Kore anlaşması imzaladı ve Japon hükümeti eski Koreli konfor kadınlarına kefaret parası olarak 1 milyar dolar ödedi. Ancak, Kore Moon Jae In yönetimi, 2018'de herhangi bir bildirimde bulunmaksızın anlaşmayı terk etti. Fesih duyurusu Japonya için tamamen kabul edilemez. Cumhurbaşkanı Moon Jae-in de dahil olmak üzere ROK Hükümeti, defalarca “anlaşmayı terk etmeyeceğini” ve “Japonya ile yeniden müzakere istemeyeceğini " belirtti”) - O sırada Japon hükümeti bireysel kurbanları telafi etmeyi teklif etti, ancak Güney Kore hükümeti teklifi reddetti ve tüm parayı alması ve vatandaşlarını telafi etmesi konusunda ısrar etti. Bu paranın çok azı (sadece 250 ABD doları) bireylere ödendi ve bunun yerine Güney Kore'nin ekonomik gelişimi için kullanıldı. Japon hükümeti, konfor kadın sistemi için özür diledi (aslında savaştan önce hem Kore hem de Japonya'da var olan ve çok sayıda Japon fahişenin yanı sıra diğer ülkelerden gelenleri de içeren lisanslı fuhuş sisteminin bir uzantısıydı), Almanya hiçbir zaman özür dilemedi veya eski fahişelere herhangi bir tazminat ödemedi. Aslında, hiç kimse böyle bir şey talep etmedi, çünkü işgal altındaki ülkelerde haklı ya da yanlış bir şekilde işbirlikçi olarak görülen bu kadınlar hiçbir zaman destekçi ya da savunucu bulamadılar” - Profesör Andrzej Kozlowski, Varşova Üniversitesi

  670. "L'un des mythes les plus souvent répétés et les plus déformés concernant les prétendus crimes du Japon contre la Corée, concerne les soi-disant "femmes de réconfort". Enfin, sur les affirmations selon lesquelles l'Allemagne a correctement "expié" ses crimes alors que le Japon ne l'a pas fait. Permettez-moi de ne considérer qu'un seul aspect. En 1965, le gouvernement coréen de Park Chung-hee a signé un traité avec le Japon, normalisant les relations entre les deux pays. En vertu de ce traité, la Corée du Sud a reçu de très importantes aides économiques, des subventions, des prêts et, surtout, des compensations pour les victimes de la domination japonaise. (Le gouvernement japonais a versé 2,5 fois le budget national à titre de compensation, mais a gardé le secret pendant 40 ans en Corée pour inciter à la haine envers le Japon et le gouvernement coréen continue d'essayer de cacher la vérité. Bien que toutes les réclamations individuelles aient été réglées dans le cadre du traité Japon-Corée du Sud de 1965, le gouvernement japonais a quand même offert plusieurs fois une indemnisation aux Coréennes, en guise de geste positif. Cependant, lorsque le Japon a offert une indemnisation par le biais du Fonds pour les femmes asiatiques en 1995 (l'indemnisation était accompagnée d'une lettre d'excuses personnelles du Premier ministre japonais), une ONG sud-coréenne a menacé les anciennes femmes de réconfort de ne pas accepter les excuses du Japon et l'indemnisation. 61 de celles qui ont défié l'ordre de l'ONG ont été reconnues comme traîtresses, leurs noms et adresses ont été publiés dans les journaux comme prostituées, et elles ont dû vivre le reste de leur vie dans la honte. Le gouvernement sud-coréen a signé l'accord Japon-Corée sur la question des femmes de réconfort en 2015 et le gouvernement japonais a versé 1 milliard de dollars en guise d'anement aux anciennes femmes de réconfort coréennes. Cependant, l'administration de Moon Jae In a abandonné l'accord en 2018 sans aucun préavis. L'annonce de la dissolution est totalement inacceptable pour le Japon. Alors que le gouvernement de la Corée du Sud, y compris le président Moon Jae-in, a déclaré à plusieurs reprises en public qu'il "n'abandonnera pas l'accord" et "ne demandera pas de renégociation avec le Japon") - Le gouvernement japonais a alors proposé d'indemniser les victimes individuelles, mais le gouvernement sud-coréen a refusé l'offre et a insisté pour recevoir tout l'argent et indemniser lui-même ses citoyens. Une très petite partie de cet argent (seulement 250 dollars) a été versée à des particuliers et a plutôt été utilisée pour le développement économique de la Corée du Sud. Le gouvernement japonais s'est excusé pour son système de femmes de réconfort (qui était en fait une extension du système de prostitution sous licence qui existait en Corée et au Japon avant la guerre et qui impliquait un grand nombre de prostituées japonaises ainsi que celles d'autres pays), l'Allemagne n'a jamais présenté d'excuses ni versé de compensation à aucune ancienne prostituée. En fait, personne n'a jamais exigé de telles choses, puisque ces femmes, qui étaient considérées à tort ou à raison comme des collaboratrices dans les pays occupés, n'ont jamais trouvé de partisans ou de défenseurs". -Professeur Andrzej Kozlowski, Université de Varsovie

  671. Korean authorities say “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  674. One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  678.  @007lisle  [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to ab* duct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

Google 【幅射危機】大亞灣放射物質排放上限 遠超日本福島10倍 or 港媒 : 中国核电站放射物排放上限远超福岛十倍 日本政府在周二(13日)提出，決定把福島核電廠積存的核廢水，在兩年後經稀釋後排落大海，而經處理的廢水將主要包含一種「氚」放射性物質。事件連日引來中國不斷批評，但距離香港只有50公里的大亞灣核電站，放射性物質「氚」的排放上限，竟然比日本福島的排放標準高出10倍。 據早前日本政府公布，福島核電廠積存的核廢水在經過稀釋後，每年最多排放22兆貝克的液態氚，濃度亦會稀釋到每升1500貝克，即是世衛飲用水標準的七分一。但中國國內資料顯示，鄰近香港的大亞灣核電站每年的液態氚排放上限達到225兆貝克，是福島未來每年排放量的10倍。 而據香港核電投資公司 (HKNIC) 數據顯示，過去10年大亞灣核電站的液態氚排放量平均為上限的20%，即是約49.5兆貝克，與日本政府訂出的標準比較，是超出一倍有多。此外，中國其他地區核電廠的液態氚排放量也較福島核電廠高，包括秦山核電廠、福建福清核電廠等。 「氚」是一種帶有放射性，能量雖高但穿透力弱的放射性物質，是氫的同位素之一。「氚」不會穿透人體，僅影響空氣中數厘米的範圍。一般情況下，飲用含氚的水才可能會對人體造成一定傷害，但「氚」在人體的半衰期只有7至18日，即使直接吸收了，每過14日殘留身體的劑量都會減半。 資料來源：中國生態環境部、香港核電投資公司

The amount of tritium is much lower than other countries. China and South Korea has been releasing much more radioactive material into the sea and the air. The content of tritium in the treated water is one seventh of drinking water. If you have a beef with it, why don't you tell it to the IAEA? Japan should follow the IAEAs policy.

  683. The actions of Japan in the occupied countries were thoroughly investigated after the war. The guilty parties faced an international tribunal in Tokyo. Though one of the judges, Justice R.B. Pal from India, found some of the charges excessive and issued a dissenting opinion, Japan accepted the findings and the verdict in an agreement signed after the end of the American occupation in 1952. At no point during the trial was the alleged government conspiracy to enslave se:xually 200,000 women brought to the judges’ attention and it is impossible to assume that they would overlook something so important. The American authorities, which occupied Japan for nearly eight years, practically ruled the country and had unobstructed access to its archives. They were interested in bringing down the Japanese politicians of the war period and didn’t hide that, as we can see it in the infamous photograph of General Douglas MacArthur with the Emperor of Japan, where the General stands next to the Emperor with hands in his pockets. Most government ministries were purged of the old bureaucracy. A notable victim of that “downsizing” became the Hol//caust hero Chiune Sugihara, who was fired and forced to make a living as a door-to-door light bulbs salesman. The issue of the army brothels was investigated by the American authorities. Declassified documents show that the conclusion was that in most cases they employed paid pros**utes. Again, there was no sex slave conspiracy uncovered. -2016 Israel Friendship Association

Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me."

According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abd*ucted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council. They are swi*ndlers"

  686. Os testemunhos das ex-Conforto Mulheres são inconsistentes, uma vez que foram treinadas pela organização extremamente esquerdista. ⚫︎In uma entrevista com a Professora Chunghee Sarah Soh da Universidade Estatal de São Francisco, uma ex-coreana de conforto Kim Sun-ok disse que foi vendida pelos seus pais quatro vezes. No entanto, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU Radhika Coomaraswamy que foi raptada* pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Numa entrevista ao Professor Park da Universidade de Sejong na Coreia do Sul, uma ex-coreana Bae Chun-hee disse que odiava o seu pai que a vendeu. Ela disse que os homens que recrutaram mulheres coreanas e operaram estações de conforto eram "TODOS COREANOS", e que as mulheres coreanas que testemunharam perante o Relator Especial da ONU mentiram em nome do Conselho Coreano. ⚫︎A A ex-consoladora coreana Mun Oku-chu disse nas suas memórias: "Fui recrutada por uma coreana proprietária de uma estação de conforto. Poupei uma quantidade considerável de dinheiro de gorjetas, por isso abri uma conta poupança. Não conseguia acreditar que podia ter tanto dinheiro na minha conta poupança. Um dos meus amigos recolheu muitas jóias, por isso fui e comprei um diamante. Fui frequentemente ver filmes japoneses e peças de teatro Kabuki em que os jogadores vinham do Japão continental. Tornei-me uma mulher popular em Rangoon. Havia muito mais oficiais em Rangum do que perto das linhas de frente, por isso fui convidada para muitas festas. Cantei canções em festas e recebi muitas dicas. Coloquei um par de saltos altos, um casaco verde e carreguei uma bolsa de couro de jacaré. Andei de um lado para o outro com um vestido da moda. Ninguém na cidade podia adivinhar que eu era uma mulher de conforto. Sentia-me muito feliz e orgulhosa. Recebi permissão para regressar a casa, mas não queria voltar para a Coreia. Eu queria ficar em Rangum". Segundo o Professor Ahn Byong Jik da Universidade de Seul, Mun Oku-chu continuou a trabalhar como prostituta na Coreia após a guerra. No entanto, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU Radhika Coomaraswamy que foi raptada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Numa entrevista ao jornal coreano The Hankyoreh (a artcile foi publicada a 15 de Maio de 1991), uma ex-coreana Kim Hak-sun disse que tinha sido vendida pela sua mãe. Em 1993, Kim Hak-sun disse ao Professor Ahn Byong Jik da Universidade de Seul: "A minha mãe enviou-me para treinar como Kiseng em Pyongyang e depois vendeu-me". No entanto, ela testemunhou perante o Relator Especial da ONU Radhika Coomaraswamy que tinha sido raptada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em 1993, uma ex-consoladora coreana Kim Gun-ja disse ao Professor Ahn Byong Jik da Universidade de Seul: "Fui vendida pelo meu pai adoptivo". No entanto, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU Radhika Coomaraswamy que tinha sido raptada pelos militares japoneses. Kim Gun-ja também testemunhou perante a Comissão dos Assuntos Externos da Câmara dos Estados Unidos em 2007 e disse que tinha sido raptada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em 1993, uma ex-coreana Lee Yong-soo disse ao Professor Ahn Byong Jik da Universidade de Seul: "Na altura estava vestida e desgraçada. No dia em que saí de casa com a minha amiga Kim Pun-sun sem dizer à minha mãe, estava a usar uma saia preta, uma camisa de algodão e socos de madeira nos pés. Não sabe como fiquei contente quando recebi um vestido vermelho e um par de sapatos de couro de um recrutador coreano". No entanto, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU Radhika Coomaraswamy que tinha sido raptada pelos militares japoneses. Lee Yong-soo também testemunhou perante a Comissão dos Assuntos Externos da Câmara dos Estados Unidos em 2007. Foi-lhe dito que tinha cinco minutos para falar. Ignorou a instrução e prosseguiu durante mais de uma hora com uma actuação de choro e gritos. O seu falso testemunho resultou na aprovação da Resolução 121 da Câmara dos Representantes dos Estados Unidos da América. Em 2017 Lee Yong-soo deu falsos testemunhos perante a Câmara Municipal de São Francisco, o que resultou na erecção de uma estátua de conforto para mulheres naquela cidade. ⚫︎ Segundo a Professora Chunghee Sarah Soh da Universidade Estatal de São Francisco, uma antiga mulher de conforto coreana Moon Pil-ki foi recrutada por um agente do proprietário de uma estação de conforto coreana e levada para a Manchúria com outras quatro mulheres. No entanto, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU Radhika Coomaraswamy que foi raptada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em 1993, uma antiga mulher de conforto coreana Kil Won-ok disse ao Professor Ahn Byong Jik da Universidade de Seul: "Fui vendida pelos meus pais". No entanto, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU Radhika Coomaraswamy que tinha sido raptada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ De acordo com várias testemunhas, o Conselho Coreano (grupo activista pró-Norte) treinou mulheres para dizerem "Fui raptada pelos militares japoneses". O Professor Ahn Byong Jik da Universidade de Seul diz: "Quando entrevistei antigas mulheres de conforto no início dos anos 90, nenhuma delas tinha nada de mal a dizer sobre os militares japoneses. Elas odiavam os seus pais que as vendiam e os donos de estações de conforto coreanos que as maltratavam. Mas depois do Conselho Coreano as ter colocado na sua folha de pagamentos, os seus testemunhos tinham mudado completamente". ⚫︎ Uma ex-coreana, Sim Mi-ja, que se recusou a estar na folha de pagamentos do Conselho Coreano, disse: "As mulheres coreanas, que testemunharam perante o Relator Especial da ONU, mentiram em nome do Conselho Coreano. Elas são vigaristas".

  688. Lee Young-hoon, Korean professor of Seoul National University says “It is an internationally well-known fact that SK has a culture of lies. In 2014 1,400 persons were prosecuted for perjury, 172 times the Japanese equivalent (or 430 times, if population difference is taken into account). There were 1,250 times as many charges stemming from false accusations than in Japan. Insurance fraud is rampant; in 2014 total insurance fraud amounted to 4.5 trillion won, 100 times the US figure”

  689. Kim said she has never received an apology from Japan, which is a flat-out lie. The truth is that comfort women's organization “Korean council” embezzle donations, force comfort women to lie, obstruct reconciliation with Japan, so that they can continue the comfort women propaganda. Japan has apologized many times and paid huge amounts of atonement money to the Korean women, but the Korean government has not given it to the women. *Japan-South Korea Treaty of 1965 During treaty negotiations, the Japanese government asked the S Korean government to identify and separate individual claims from the treaty because the Japanese government wanted to make sure the survivors received compensation. The South Korean government declined and accepted the entire sum of 800 million dollars (over ten billion dollars in today's money) in place of its citizens and spent all of it on infrastructures. Therefore it is not reasonable for the South Korean government to keep asking for additional compensation from Japan. And their claim that they were forced into pros**tution is also a lie. A Korean professor interviewed the Korean women in 2003. After the interview professor commented: “I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean spi*es) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.”

  690. Have you watched Lee Yon-Soo’s video ? Check my saved video Lee Yong-soo, the most famous comfort woman, filmed in 1992 is now found, in which she testified that she became Comfort Woman just because she followed a man who gave her a dress and shoes, NOT because she was tricked or abd*ucted by force by Imperial Japanese Army. The footage filmed on Aug 15th, 1992 at KBS. That seems a little bit ironic that the announcer reconfirmed that she became Comfort Woman NOT because she was abd*ucted by force by Imperial Japanese Army, but she just followed a man by her own will.

  691. What outrages the Japanese more than anything else is that their claims of "Japanese military brutality" are actually the actions of the Koreans themselves against their own people. In fact, it was the Korean owners who were deceiving and kid_ napping Korean women, and the Japanese government was the one who was struggling to crack down on them. Hundreds of thousands of Koreans volunteered to serve in the Japanese army, which means they were the Japanese army themselves. And they ignore the fact that 80% of the governors and policemen in Korea at the time were Korean.

  697. Why didn't the SK government mention that 200,000 Korean women were kid_napped during the Japan-Korea Basic Treaty? Why didn't the SK government mention that they were sex slaves during the Japan-S Korea Comfort Women Agreement in 2015? Did you know that the Korean government owe this issue? And why are there no witnesses at all? Why did the US and allied forces concluded that the comfort women were prost_tutes when they were enemies at the time, even though they were desperately looking for dirt on Japan and investigated if there’s sex slaves at the comfort stations? How on earth can any country expect to conclude a new agreement or treaty with a country where new administration invalidates the whole thing that former administration concluded?

  698. If Koreans thoght the Japanese comfort women system was so bad, why did the Korean Government set up a similar 'comfort women' system for US/UN soldiers after the Japanese left Korea? Between the end of the Korean War and the early 1990s, more than one and half million SK women were caught up in a state-controlled pros**tution (comfort women) industry that was blessed at the highest levels by the U.S. military.

  700. Dutch government officially announced that “Dutch government regards the Comfort system primarily as pros**tution.” -Dutch government 1994 — The Bart von Poelgeest Report The study by Dr. Poelgeest, then an officer of the Ministry of Interior of the Netherlands, was commissioned by the Dutch government in 1993. It is a comprehensive report on the recruitment, voluntary, of European women for pros***ution in the Dutch East Indies during the Japanese occupation in World War II. It also briefly touches upon recruitment of local women although that is not the focus of the study. There was nothing in the report to indicate a policy or practice of mass abdu*ction of women, European or locals, as comfort women. During the war in China in the 1930s, the occurrence of venereal disease among the troops had led to problems with deployment and the Japanese military forces therefore decided to set up military brothels as a preventive measure. In addition to local women, Japanese and Korean women – Korea being part of the Japanese Empire – were recruited for the brothels in China. In practice, it was the local military commanders who had to draw up regulations on the establishment of military brothels in their territory. The chief of staff of the 16th army on Java and thus head of the military administration there decided that a license was required for the establishment of a military brothel. A license was issued only if certain conditions were met, relating to, for example, regular medical check-ups and payment. A further precondition was that the women working in the brothels had to do so voluntarily; according to the regulations, a license would only be issued if the women involved signed a statement to the effect that they were providing their service voluntarily.”

  702. Contracting for sex in the Pacific War J. Mark Ramseyer /Harvard University, United States/International Review of Law and Economics Volume 65, March 2021, 105971 Abstract The protracted political dispute between South Korea and Japan over the wartime brothels called "comfort stations" obscures the contractual dynamics involved. These dynamics reflected the straightforward logic of the "credible commitments" so basic to elementary game theory. The brothel owners and potential pros**tutes faced a problem: the brothel needed credibly to commit to a contractual structure (i) generous enough to offset the dangers and reputational damage to the pros**tute that the job entailed, while (ii) giving the pros**tute an incentive to exert effort while working at a harsh job in an unobservable environment. Realizing that the brothel owners had an incentive to exaggerate their future earnings, the women demanded a large portion of their pay upfront. Realizing that they were headed to the war zone, they demanded a relatively short maximum term. And realizing that the women had an incentive to shirk, the brothel owners demanded a contractual structure that gave women incentives to work hard. To satisfy these superficially contradictory demands, the women and brothels concluded indenture contracts that coupled (i) a large advance with one- or two-year maximum terms, with (ii) an ability for the women to leave early if they generated sufficient revenue.

When she got lost and was wandering through the huge building where the meeting was taking place, she stumbled upon a room where people were gathering. Here, former comfort women who were testifying on a stage were being prompted and trained on how to deliver their lines. Unsurprisingly, the people who were stage-managing the whole operation were Japanese women (activists close tie with communists). In this manner, the former comfort women were being trained as living witnesses to serve the movement.

  704. [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon."

Japan’s Fukushima plans to release 2.2E+13Bq annually, which is one-tenth of China’s Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station’s six units. In addition, the reply from the National Nuclear Safety Administration of China has indeed been deleted and has become a state secret

  710. The world Authority of disposal of nuclear waste says: “Scientists have been urging the Japanese government to slowly release tritium water from the Fukushima accident into the Pacific Ocean over about a ten-year period. The water is stored on-site in 900 or so large tanks. All of the other radioactive elements have been removed from the water by chemical treatment. Although not intuitive, this is a very good idea. Tritium is the mildly radioactive isotope of hydrogen that has two neutrons and one proton, with radioactivity so low that no environmental or human problems have ever come from it, even though it is a common radioactive element in the environment. Tritium is formed naturally by atmospheric processes as well as in nuclear weapons testing and in nuclear power plants. Tritium is assumed to be carcinogenic to humans at extremely high levels, although that claim is only hypothetical since adverse health effects from tritium have never appeared in humans or in the environment. Only laboratory studies on mice at extremely high levels have shown any adverse health effects and they were not fatal, even after ingesting 37,000,000 Bq/L. Putting this water into the ocean is without doubt the best way to get rid of it. Concentrating it and containerizing it actually causes more of a potential hazard to people and the environment. And is really expensive. Unfortunately, the idea of releasing radioactivity of any sort makes most people cringe. But that’s the problem, only the perception of tritium is bad, not the reality. And in our new world of anti-science, such a wrong idea might rule over what is the right thing to do, wasting precious resources and time. The scientific reality is tritium emits an incredibly weak beta particle that is easily stopped by our dead skin layer. It only goes a quarter inch in air. Even ingestion of tritium doesn’t do anything unless it’s at very high concentrations that can only be maintained in the laboratory. The health risks of tritium-contaminated water are so low that all countries of the world have no idea what regulatory limits to put on it. Using Becquerel per liter as the concentration unit (a Bq is a disintegration of a single nucleus per second), the United States has set 740 Bq/L for drinking water, but Canada has 7,000 Bq/L as its limit. Switzerland set 10,000 Bq/L, and Australia a whopping 76,103 Bq/L. But these limits were just taken out of thin air. They are not health-based. They were chosen because they were easy to achieve. Meaning none of these levels, or a hundred times these levels, are harmful. Even though more tritium has been formed in the last 60 years than all other radionuclides combined, there has never been a correlation of tritium with cancer or any other health effects in humans. Why is this the case? Hydrogen is a really small atom and easily gets through microscopic pores, even biological membranes and cell walls. Tritium (still hydrogen just heavier) can be found in water molecules (since water is two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom) and in organic materials which are mainly hydrogen and carbon. In fact, because tritium is three times heavier than normal hydrogen, tritium tends to replace normal hydrogen in water molecules, rapidly diluting any tritium in our bodies and in the environment. Our bodies are mostly hydrogen, and that is mostly in water. So while tritium’s radioactive half-life is 12.3 years, its biological half-life in our bodies is only 10 days. Therefore, ingestion of this weak emitter doesn’t have the same effect as most other ingested radionuclides.
    1
  711. 2/ It’s also difficult for the extremely low-energy beta from tritium to get through the water, cell walls and other materials in between the radionuclide and any DNA. The energy in the slow-moving beta from tritium mostly gets dispersed within the electron clouds of other molecules through inelastic collisions and the Bremsstrahlung effect. This turns the kinetic energy of the beta emission into electromagnetic non-ionizing energy. In the end, it’s really difficult to get a large radiation dose from tritium, unlike any other radionuclide. It exits the body and is diluted too quickly. Even more important, there’s more tritium in the atmosphere from natural processes and left over from old bomb testing, than ever has been, or will be, released from commercial reactors. Cosmic rays produce four million curies worth of tritium every year (150,000,000,000,000,000 Bq) in the upper atmosphere, much of which rains out into surface waters that we end up drinking. Presently, however, the biggest source of tritium is from old above ground nuclear bomb tests that caused a peak in atmospheric tritium in 1963. These amounts of tritium from other sources are millions of times greater than what would be slowly released from these tanks at Fukushima. Since there’s been no health or environmental effects from any of these larger sources, it’s hard to get excited about dumping such a tiny amount from Fukushima into the ocean. Besides, there are 16,280,000,000,000,000,000,000 Bq of potassium-40, rubidium-87 and many more radionuclides already in the world’s oceans. So the fish are swimming in plenty of natural radioactive material. The biological half-life of tritium in fish and marine life is even shorter than in humans, less than 2 days and the dilution in seawater would be too rapid for any significant dose to get back to any people. Opposite to many other radionuclides, the physical and chemical properties of tritium means it does not concentrate up the food change, it dilutes up the food chain. So while Japanese fishermen fear this strategy of release from a public relations perspective, their fish will still test negative with respect to food radiation limits and their packaged fish sold at market would still carry the official ‘safe’ stickers. So it all comes down to perception and fear. We as scientists can give you the answers, but you can ignore them if you want, especially since non-scientists make these decisions anyway.

  715. - The Korean council One organization lies at the heart of much of the current dispute with Japan, and manipulates this fictive nationalist history to help drive the relentless opposition to reconciliation with Japan: the Korean Council. The Korean council organizes the weekly protests in front of the Japanese embassy in Seoul. It began the installation of the comfort women statutes around the world -- tellingly, statues not of the 20-year-old women who became the comfort women but of 15 year-old girls who did not. It pressured the former comfort women to reject the compensation offered by Japan. And it militantly polices scholars who would question the "sex-slave narrative" Korean Council largely controls the public testimony by the comfort women. It chooses those willing to back their sex-slave narrative, and intimidates the rest into silence. It maintains its ability to do this by collaborating in the operation of a nursing home for the most visible comfort women, the House of Nanumu. The women at Nanumu are the women most willing to testify. By helping to control Nanumu, the Korean Council controls who scholars and reporters will see and what the women will say. As political scientist Yi (2018) put it, the ”prevailing narrative of abductions is based on the oral testimonies of a small number of women (16 of 238 registered survivors in 1990s), "prevailing narrative of abductions is associated with activist organizations (e.g., House of Sharing [i.e., the nursing home]; Korean Council [i.e., CDH])" (Yi 2018). By sabotaging any reconciliation between South Korea and Japan, the Korean council directly promotes a key North Korean political goal -- and that seems to be the point. As Park explains it, Korean council" has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.” Initially organized by Korean communists, the group was at one time designated by the South Korean government as a North Korean affiliate. Its long-time senior representative -- Yun Mee-Hyang -- was herself investigated for North Korean ties in 2013. Other members of her family have for years been embroiled in controversy and litigation over whether they did or did not maintain ties to the north (with the courts concluding in 2018 that they did not). As its possible North-Korean affiliation might suggest, many comfort women deeply resent the Korean council. Back in 2004, several comfort women sued it to try to retake control over their movement (Moto 2018). The group remains in control, however, and has successfully intimidated most of the remaining women. Park Yu-Ha confesses herself puzzled that the group ever allowed her to interview the women: I regained my interest in [the comfort women] issue in the early 2000s when I heard that the Korean council was confining surviving women in a nursing home called House of Nanumu. The only time these women were allowed to talk to outsiders was when Korean council needed them to testify for the UN Special Rapporteur or the U.S. politicians. But for some reason I was allowed to talk to them one day in 2003. Even these Nanumu women were unhappy with the Korean council. Park continues: I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean Council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council 's order. Korean council made its thr:eats credible when Japan first offered the women compensation in 1995. Determined to sabotage the coming rapprochement, it ordered the women to refuse the payments. Some took the money anyway. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. Korean-American anthropologist Sarah Soh confirms their fears. Although some comfort women invented dramatic new stories to keep themselves in the news, "other South Korean survivors have firmly refused to be further interviewed after the initial investigation for the government certification process." They have, Soh explains, "kept their silence out of fear of making 'speech errors' that might lead to the cancellation of their registration and hence the cessation of their welfare support money."

  717. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

At the time, it cost 5 yen to have intercourse once with a comfort woman. Our compulsory savings were about 5 yen. Converted to current money, this is about 50,000 yen (500 dollars). So, if you went to the comfort woman brothel 3 or 4 times a week, your salary would be completely used up. So, I thought it was stupid to waste money on such a thing, and did not go myself.　Sorry, but… the thing is that most people were not interested. There were about 3,000 soldiers in the squadron, but unless you had a lot of spare money, you would not go. The comfort women were saving money so they could go home as well. They were really happy.”

I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon."

  732. Double standard much? In August 1999 police issued an arrest warrant for Kim Kyong Soo, president of the Korean Special Tourism Industry Association, on suspicion that he had brought more than 1,000 Filipina and Russian women into Korea to work as bar girls around U.S. military bases. A judge cancelled the warrant for lack of evidence and closed the case. Nevertheless, an American sergeant told Time magazine, in words chillingly similar to the Korean comfort women stories, that the Russian and Filipina women in the Dongducheon bars “are here because they’ve been tricked. They’re told they’re going to be bartending or waitressing, but once they get here, things are different.” In 2005 a former Filipina bar worker was awarded $5,000 from a South Korean nightclub owner who forced her to have sex with U.S. soldiers for money, and a club owner was convicted of illegal brothel-keeping.

Eski konfor kadın tanıklıkları, organizasyon tarafından eğitildiği için tutarsız Professor San Francisco Eyalet Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Chunghee Sarah Soh ile yaptığı röportajda, eski bir Koreli konfor kadını kim Sun-ok, ailesi tarafından dört kez satıldığını söyledi. Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından görevden alındığını ifade etti. Güney Kore'deki sejong Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Park ile yaptığı röportajda, eski bir Koreli konfor kadını BAE Chun-hee, onu satan babasından nefret ettiğini söyledi. Koreli kadınları işe alan ve konfor istasyonlarını işleten erkeklerin “tüm Koreli” olduğunu ve BM özel Raportöründen önce ifade veren Koreli kadınların Kore Konseyi adına yalan söylediğini söyledi. Former eski bir Koreli konfor kadın mun Oku-chu anılarında söyledi: "Koreli bir konfor istasyonu sahibi tarafından işe alındım. Bahşişlerden önemli miktarda para biriktirdim, bu yüzden bir tasarruf hesabı açtım. Tasarruf hesabımda bu kadar çok paraya sahip olabileceğime inanamadım. Arkadaşlarımdan biri birçok mücevher topladı, bu yüzden gittim ve bir elmas aldım. Sık sık Japon filmlerini izlemeye gittim ve oyuncuların anakara Japonya'dan geldiği Kabuki oyunları. Rangoon'da popüler bir kadın oldum. Rangoon'da cephe hatlarından çok daha fazla subay vardı, bu yüzden birçok partiye davet edildim. Partilerde şarkı söyledim ve çok fazla ipucu aldım. Bir çift yüksek topuklu ayakkabı, yeşil bir ceket giydim ve timsah derisinden bir çanta taşıdım. Modaya uygun bir elbiseyle dolaştım. Kasabadaki hiç kimse benim rahat bir kadın olduğumu tahmin edemezdi. Çok mutlu ve gururlu hissettim. Eve dönmek için izin aldım ama Kore'ye dönmek istemedim. Rangoon'da kalmak istedim." Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e göre, mun Oku-chu savaştan sonra Kore'de fahişe olarak çalışmaya devam etti. Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. Koreli hankyoreh gazetesine verdiği röportajda (artcile 15 Mayıs 1991'de yayınlandı) eski bir Koreli konfor kadını kim hak-sun annesi tarafından satıldığını söyledi. 1993'te kim Hak-sun, Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e şunları söyledi: "annem beni Pyongyang'da bir Kiseng olarak eğitmeye gönderdi ve sonra beni sattı." Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. 1993'te eski bir Koreli konfor kadını kim gun-ja, Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e şunları söyledi: "üvey babam tarafından satıldım." Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. Kim Gun-ja ayrıca 2007 yılında Amerika Birleşik Devletleri Dışişleri Temsilciler Meclisi Komitesinde ifade verdi ve Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını söyledi. 1993'te eski bir Koreli konfor kadını Lee Yong-soo, Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e şunları söyledi: "o zamanlar perişan giyinmiş ve sefildim. Anneme söylemeden arkadaşım kim Pun-sun ile evden ayrıldığım gün, siyah bir etek, pamuklu bir gömlek ve ayaklarımın üzerinde tahta takunya giyiyordum. Koreli bir işverenden kırmızı bir elbise ve bir çift deri ayakkabı aldığımda ne kadar memnun olduğumu bilmiyorsun." Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. Lee Yong-soo da 2007 yılında Dışişleri Birleşik Devletleri ev Komitesi önünde ifade verdi. Konuşmak için beş dakikası olduğu söylendi. Talimatı görmezden geldi ve bir saatten fazla bir süre ağlama ve çığlık atma performansına devam etti. Onun yanlış ifadesi, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri Temsilciler Meclisi'nin 121 sayılı kararının kabulüne yol açtı. 2017 yılında Lee Yong-soo, San Francisco şehir Konseyi'nden önce yanlış ifadeler verdi ve bu da o şehirde bir konfor kadın heykelinin kurulmasıyla sonuçlandı. San Francisco Eyalet Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Chunghee Sarah Soh'a göre, eski bir Koreli konfor kadını Moon pil-ki, bir Koreli konfor istasyonu sahibinin ajanı tarafından işe alındı ve diğer dört kadınla birlikte mançurya'ya götürüldü. Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. 1993'te eski bir Koreli konfor kadını olan kil won-ok, Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e şunları söyledi: "ailem tarafından satıldım." Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. Birkaç tanığa göre, Kore Konseyi (kuzey yanlısı aktivist grup) kadınları "Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldım" demeleri için eğitti." Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik, " 1990'ların başında eski konfor kadınlarıyla röportaj yaptığımda, hiçbirinin Japon ordusu hakkında söyleyecek kötü bir şeyi yoktu. Onları satan ebeveynlerinden ve onlara kötü davranan Koreli konfor istasyonu sahiplerinden nefret ediyorlardı. Ancak Kore Konseyi onları maaşlarına koyduktan sonra, ifadeleri tamamen değişti." Koreli Konsey'in maaşına katılmayı reddeden eski Koreli kadın sim mi-ja şunları söyledi: "BM özel Raportöründen önce ifade veren Koreli kadınlar Kore Konseyi adına yalan söyledi.

  738. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  740. The US government, under the Clinton and Bush administrations, spent 7 years and 30 million dollars to look into Nazi and Japanese war crimes. After 7 years of research, they found no evidence of the forced prostitution of comfort women, the Nanjing Massacre. “Final Report to the US Congress on Nazi War Crimes & Japanese Imperial Government Records” authored by the Interagency Working Group (IWG).” The report was published in the spring of 2007. Out of millions of pages of newly declassified material, much of it related to Japan, and they were unable to find evidence of forced prostitution. They also looked for information about the Nanjing Massacre and unit 731, but found no smoking guns. Nobody doubts that there was a massacre in Nanjing, and nobody doubts the Chinese ability to exaggerate by orders of magnitude, and then to believe their own stories. A Chinese organization lobbied for the IWG investigation. The “Global Alliance for Preserving the History of WWII in Asia” (Global Alliance). It should be noted that Global Alliance was closely associated with Iris Chang, author of “The Rape of Nanking”. Surprisingly, the IWG report offers an apology to Global Alliance for not finding anything.

Elle a déclaré que les hommes qui recrutaient des Coréennes et exploitaient des postes de réconfort étaient "TOUS CORÉENS", et que les Coréennes qui ont témoigné devant le rapporteur spécial de l'ONU ont menti au nom du Conseil coréen. ⚫︎Une ancienne femme de réconfort coréenne, Mun Oku-chu, a déclaré dans ses mémoires : "J'ai été recrutée par un propriétaire de poste de confort coréen. J'ai économisé une somme d'argent considérable grâce aux pourboires, alors j'ai ouvert un compte d'épargne. Je n'arrivais pas à croire que je pouvais avoir autant d'argent sur mon compte d'épargne. Une de mes amies collectionnait de nombreux bijoux, alors je suis allée acheter un diamant. Je suis souvent allée voir des films japonais et des pièces de Kabuki dont les acteurs venaient du Japon continental. Je suis devenue une femme populaire à Rangoon. Il y avait beaucoup plus d'officiers à Rangoon que près des lignes de front, alors j'étais invitée à de nombreuses fêtes. Je chantais des chansons lors des fêtes et recevais beaucoup de pourboires. Je portais une paire de talons hauts, un manteau vert et un sac à main en cuir d'alligator. Je me baladais dans une robe à la mode. Personne en ville ne pouvait deviner que j'étais une femme de confort. Je me sentais très heureuse et fière. J'ai reçu la permission de rentrer chez moi, mais je ne voulais pas retourner en Corée. Je voulais rester à Rangoon." Selon le professeur Ahn Byong Jik de l'université de Séoul, Mun Oku-chu a continué à travailler comme prostituée en Corée après la guerre.

Mais après que le Conseil coréen les a mises dans ses rangs, leurs témoignages avaient complètement changé." ⚫︎ Une ancienne femme de réconfort coréenne, Sim Mi-ja, qui a refusé de faire partie du personnel du Conseil coréen, a déclaré : "Les femmes coréennes, qui ont témoigné devant le rapporteur spécial des Nations unies, ont menti au nom du Conseil coréen. Ce sont des escrocs"

  744. Ne vous laissez pas prendre par la propagande des communistes. Un journal intime rédigé par un responsable de poste de confort coréen a été découvert en 2013, et il montre clairement que des hommes d'affaires coréens ne se contentaient pas de recruter des Coréennes, mais possédaient et exploitaient également des postes de confort. Le journal contient le compte-rendu détaillé des propriétaires coréens transférant les énormes profits qu'ils réalisaient en exploitant des stations de confort. Les opérateurs des stations de réconfort étaient des civils non militaires. Les rapports mensuels des consul généraux japonais locaux dans diverses villes chinoises identifient les exploitants de postes de réconfort avec des femmes de réconfort coréennes comme des Coréens. Aucune station de confort exploitée par le Japon n'a été signalée avec des femmes coréennes. Les postes de réconfort étaient des entreprises gérées par des civils. L'auteur du journal a lui-même gagné 43 000 yens en deux ans - une somme énorme si l'on considère que le salaire mensuel moyen d'un travailleur pendant cette période n'était que de 40 yens.

The Japanese government at that time offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  748. 1953 Jul 21 - "Country Girls Lured into Pros**tution" This July 7, 1953 article from the South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo describes a typical means by which innocent SK girls were lured into pros**tution. That is, they are promised a good job, put into debt, and then forced to pay back the debt by working as prostitutes. “When I was in South Korea in the navy in the late 1970s, the typical method was to put ads promising high-paying waitress jobs in cheap magazines. When girls showed up, they were given a furnished apartment to put them in high-interest debt, which their waitress salaries would never be able to pay off, which forced them into pros***ution. At that time a person could not walk away from debt or declare personal bankruptcy.” -Gerry Bevers Here is translation of the article. “Country Girls Lured into Pros***ution Go Ok-i (高玉伊), a 53-year-old woman who lives at No. 83 on 3rd Street in the Cho Ryang-dong area of Hanmok City, was operating a comfort woman business for UN servicemen until she suspended operations because of financial difficulties. Then on the 3rd of this month, with the intention of reopenning her business, Ms. Go had her maid, Im Mi-ja (林미子), lure five virgins, including 15-year-old Gang Pil-yeon (姜必連) of Jinju City (at No. 888 in Tongbong-dong), to Busan with promises of getting them jobs in the 34th Military Hospital. Telling the girls that they would need to wear "high-class" clothes if they expected to be hired, Ms. Go gave each of the six girls an advance of 5,000 hwan worth of high-class clothing with the idea of putting them to work as comfort women. However, she was detected by police authorities prior to that, and on the 7th, Ms. Go and Ms. Im were undergoing intense questioning at the Investigation Section of the Busan Police Department.”

Google 【幅射危機】大亞灣放射物質排放上限 遠超日本福島10倍 or 港媒 : 中国核电站放射物排放上限远超福岛十倍 日本政府在周二(13日)提出，決定把福島核電廠積存的核廢水，在兩年後經稀釋後排落大海，而經處理的廢水將主要包含一種「氚」放射性物質。事件連日引來中國不斷批評，但距離香港只有50公里的大亞灣核電站，放射性物質「氚」的排放上限，竟然比日本福島的排放標準高出10倍。 據早前日本政府公布，福島核電廠積存的核廢水在經過稀釋後，每年最多排放22兆貝克的液態氚，濃度亦會稀釋到每升1500貝克，即是世衛飲用水標準的七分一。但中國國內資料顯示，鄰近香港的大亞灣核電站每年的液態氚排放上限達到225兆貝克，是福島未來每年排放量的10倍。 而據香港核電投資公司 (HKNIC) 數據顯示，過去10年大亞灣核電站的液態氚排放量平均為上限的20%，即是約49.5兆貝克，與日本政府訂出的標準比較，是超出一倍有多。此外，中國其他地區核電廠的液態氚排放量也較福島核電廠高，包括秦山核電廠、福建福清核電廠等。 「氚」是一種帶有放射性，能量雖高但穿透力弱的放射性物質，是氫的同位素之一。「氚」不會穿透人體，僅影響空氣中數厘米的範圍。一般情況下，飲用含氚的水才可能會對人體造成一定傷害，但「氚」在人體的半衰期只有7至18日，即使直接吸收了，每過14日殘留身體的劑量都會減半。 資料來源：中國生態環境部、香港核電投資公司

The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school. The diary has been published as a book in Korea and Japan titled “일본군 위안소 관리인의 일기”

The issue has been finally and irreversibly resolved under the Japan-Korea Basic Treaty (even though there was no coercion), but Japan is still supporting the comfort women through the Asian Women's Fund and the Japan-Korea Comfort Women Agreement. Japan is the only country that has apologized dozens of times, while other countries also have wartime prostitution systems. And yet, she still wants an apology, or does she have memory loss?

This organisation is not really working for justice for the comfort women, and if the problem is solved, they will not be able to make any money. So, no matter how much Japan apologises or compensates, they try to prevent the issue from being resolved.

  757. -OPEN LETTER by Korean History Textbook Research Institute /October 16, 2020 -The Japanese army did not forcibly tran:sport Korean women The statue erected in the Mitte Borough, Berlin, Germany, as a so-called “Statue of Peace”, is a statue of a pros**tute, the oldest profession in human history. Pros***utes sink into a den of iniquity of their making or, as with most, due to poverty. Most of the Japanese army Korean comfort women of the Pacific War period ended up as pros***utes at the hands of vile crim:inals via fra:ud, playing on their desire for public service and because of hunger and poverty. Korean women were sent not only to comfort stations in war zones, but also to brot:hels at home and abroad by means both fair and foul. At the end of the day, unscr:upulous brokers exploited Korean women for money. It should not be forgotten that some Korean women who were “taken away” also wanted to make money. What army is it that specifically fo:ols women into following them for money? Even the collection of testimonies issued by the Korean Council( pro-north organization)stated, “None of the military documents discovered so far gives a specific explanation about how comfort women were mobilized.” The 1996 UN Radhika Coomaraswamy Report stated, “The most problematic aspect of attempting to write an account of the recruitment of military se:xual slaves during the period leading up to the Second World War and during the war itself is the lack of remaining or disclosed official documentation concerning the actual recruitment process.” The claim that the Japanese army forcibly transported Korean women is absolutely not true. Comfort women are not Japanese army se:x slaves The 1996 UN Radhika Coomaraswamy Report states, “The rationale behind the establishment of a formal system of comfort stations was that such an institutionalized and, therefore, controlled pros***ution service would reduce the number of ra:pe reports in areas where the army was based.” This “institutionalized pros***ution service” refers to legalized pro***tution of the time and a comfort station was a space where this legal pros***ution took place. That is, a comfort station was a space in which the master, or “employer,” of comfort women offered these women to the Japanese army as commodities to make a profit and Japanese army soldiers were “consumers” who paid the prescribed charges by rank and time to satiate their se:xual desires at comfort stations. Japanese army soldiers were unable to enter comfort stations unless they paid a significant amount of their pay, for a brief period of time, based on comfort station regulations. They could not use comfort stations unless they had both money and time and were absolutely not allowed to treat comfort women as they pleased or to abuse them. The only people forcing “comfort women” to do anything were comfort station owners, who paid money in advance to buy these women for their future services, and not the Japanese army. Therefore, calling comfort women Japanese army s:ex slaves is a li:e. -Korean History Textbook Research Institute

It also briefly touches upon recruitment of local women although that is not the focus of the study. There was nothing in the report to indicate a policy or practice of mass abdu*ction of women, European or locals, as comfort women. During the war in China in the 1930s, the occurrence of venereal disease among the troops had led to problems with deployment and the Japanese military forces therefore decided to set up military brothels as a preventive measure. In addition to local women, Japanese and Korean women – Korea being part of the Japanese Empire – were recruited for the brothels in China.

Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian.

  778. -Japan’s unsung role in India’s independence struggle British governance in India — three centuries of exorbitant taxation, unfair trade practices, rampant free-marketeering and deliberate starvation had led to the dea.ths of millions of Indians in preventable famines. Japan played a critical (largely unsung) role in India’s struggle for independence by supporting Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and assisting him to form the Indian National Army (INA). It is argued with vehemence by informed observers that without Bose’s INA, India might never have achieved independence. This is because, although the INA failed militarily in the Battles at Kohima and Imphal along the India–Burma border in 1944 as part of the Japanese attempted entry to India, its troops (INA) got another opportunity to challenge the British Colonial Government in a Delhi courtroom in 1945. Three INA Officers were put on trial for treason at Red Fort. This move backfired on the British. The accused a Muslim, Sikh and Hindu justified their roles as liberators of a colonized nation and won the sympathy of the Indian public. This led to support for the defendants spreading throughout the nation — including among Indians serving in the British Indian Army. These newly radicalized troops staged strikes and mutinies across the subcontinent in 1946 against the British occupation. With its once-solid military foundation shaken to the core — and facing widespread, huge demonstrations and possible mutinies by the three forces, Army, Navy and Air Force, on a scale bigger than the Indian Mutiny in 1857 — the British authorities decided that it was time to pack up and leave. On August 15, 1947, they granted India its independence. An unwise partition of the Indian subcontinent, which placed two new nation-states in endless conflict, marked Britain’s humiliating departure from India in 1947. “Europe,” Jean-Paul Sartre claimed in his preface to Franz Fanon’s Wretched of the Earth, seemed to be “springing leaks everywhere.” “In the past we made history,” Sartre asserted, “and now it is being made of us.” The retreat of the West from its colonies in the East may well be said to be the singular most important event of the 20th century.

  782. We asked several people who stopped to look at the statue whether they had ever heard of comfort women before. Not a single person was able to say who the comfort women were. A man, who said that he worked at the Aloha Hotel standing catty-corner across from the statue, was guarding the comfort woman statue. He said that construction of the statue began in the summer of 2017. The Aloha Hotel is managed by Manuel O. Chua, a Chinese man whose name is inscribed on the back of the comfort woman statue pedestal. A local Manila reporter said that Chua has personal connections inside Manila city hall.

  783. According to those familiar with the situation, attendees at the unveiling ceremony assembled at the Aloha Hotel before going to the ceremony. The only invited media outlets were Chinese, such as Xinhua News Agency, the official press outlet of the Chinese government in Beijing. Chinese media outlets were also almost alone in reporting on the ceremony. There was hardly any coverage of the ceremony in the local press. Even supposed former comfort women, whom the statue seek to represent—were all excluded.

  784. -Chinese Donors Others listed as donors on the back of the statue pedestal include a Chinese guerrilla who fought against the Japanese during the occupation period, as well as the Filipino-Chinese group Tulay Foundation, Inc. The Tulay Foundation has been active in helping orphans living on the streets. It is unclear why this foundation suddenly became involved in the comfort women issue, but they told us that they were “not accepting Japanese media interview requests.”

  785. The Wai Ming Charitable Foundation Fund Company Limited, appearing last on the pedestal donor list, is a Hong Kong-based organization whose founder, Chung Wai Ming, is believed to have supported comfort women relief on the Chinese mainland as well as the demands for reparations from Japan. Chinese anti-Japan propaganda, which makes full use of the overseas Chinese network under the “comfort women” banner, was also undertaken in 2015 in Australia. However, the petition to erect a comfort woman statue in a public place was not recognized there on the grounds that it was outside the purview of the local city government to make decisions on such matters.

  787. The governments of both Japan and the Philippines consider all reparations issues stemming from WW I to have been resolved by the San Francisco Peace Treaty, which went into effect in 1952. However, in the 1990s, women came forward in the Philippines, claiming to have been comfort women during the period of Japanese Occupation. During the administration of Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama, the Asian Women’s Fund was launched in 1995. It paid out “atonement monies” totaling JPY3.2 million to each of 211 Filipino former comfort women. Still, there were movements to refuse the monies from the Asian Women’s Fund and to demand that Japan make an official apology and provide official reparations

  797. The Government of Japan’s position regarding these claims is as follows; ●“Forceful taking away” “Forceful taking away” of comfort women by the Japanese military and government authorities could not be confirmed in any of the documents that the Government of Japan was able to identify. (This position is stated, for example, in a written answer approved by the Cabinet on December 16, 1997 to a question by a member of the House of Representatives.) ●“Sex slaves” The expression of “sex slaves” contradicts the facts so that it should not be used. This point was confirmed with the ROK on the occasion of the Japan-ROK Agreement in December 2015 and the expression “sex slaves” is not used in the agreement. ●Figures such as “200,000 persons” for the total number of comfort women The figure “200,000 persons” lacks concrete evidence. As stated in the report of the Government study’s result of August 4, 1993, it is virtually impossible to determine the total number of comfort women as no documents have been found which either indicate the total number or give sufficient ground to establish an estimate. - Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan

  798. -Comments from S korean North Korea(NK) has worked on implanting groups of people in South Korea(SK) to spread juche ideology last 70 years. There are a lot of pro-NK people in universities, government,army, schools, media and congress. They brainwashed people to inject pro-NK ideas to people in the society and have been successful. Now they approach the end game. Next year there will be the congressional election in SK (2020). If the current pro-NK ruling jusapa wins the election, they will start confederation with NK no matter what South Koreans want it or not. World should notice that the current S K government is composed of jusapa who studied NK Juche ideology when they were college students. NK spies cultivated them. Their activity was suppressed hardly by SK National Security Act, but pro-NK administrations have deactivated the law. They became professors, teachers, workers, government officials, lawyers, judges and journalists. Currently > 100k pro-NK people in SK. They are moving and manipulating SK public opinion by using media, including TV. This war is a hard war to win. World needs to know what is going on. NK has a plan when they take over the South. 1. Ki//ll 20 million SK people. 2. Expel 10 millions SK people 3. Build a new nation with 20 millions NK people along with the rest 20 millions SK people. I am not making this up. Experts on NK tactics already know about it. NK made nukes to withdraw USFK and take over the South. The current jusapa government is helping NK to achieve their final goal, the communization of South Korea. Jusapa/NK/China constantly demand: 1. Ending Korean War to withdraw UNC. 2. Peace treaty to withdraw USFK. They feel this is the best time to achieve those because US president is DJT. They are pushing hard to make those really happen. Pro-NK people and media in SK have intensified the anti-Japan ideas among public. The latest radar incident by SK warship is a part of those activities by pro-NK people. FYI, the current SK DOD is run by pro-NK vice-minister Seo Ju-seok. SK Ministers of DOD have no power. Because of that, they could make the traitrous military agreement with NK. Japanese people should understand the current scheme of anti-Japan activities designed by pro-NK people and NK sp*ies in SK. People in the US and Japan need to support those people in SK against communism and CCP. If conservative Freedom Korea party wins the 2020 congressional election, SK may be able to stay in the US-JPN-SK alliance scheme. A lot of people in SK are very much interested in Japanese culture and ppl and admire the success of Japan greatly. Moon Jae-in and jusapa want to destroy the US-JPN-SK alliance scheme because NK and CCP want it. Their intention should be defeated.

  799. The man who first proposed to the United Nations that the comfort women be referred to as “sex slaves” was the Japanese human rights lawyer Totsuka Etsuro(CCP’s lobbyist) Totsuka brought up the term “sex slave” before the UN Commission on Human Rights, and before long UN bodies had accordingly defined the comfort women as being “sex slaves”. The idea that the comfort women were sex slaves did not arise from the findings of any empirical investigation, nor was it conceptualized on the basis of any facts. Totsuka said that the idea of adopting the term “sex slaves” simply popped into his mind one day. According to Fujiki, when Totsuka was asked about how he came up with the term “sex slaves”, he said, “I had a hunch! It was intuition!” He then continued as follows: “It’s amazing, isn’t it? I had been frequenting the United Nations for thirty-four years. During that time, I submitted over twenty motions to discuss instances of Japanese human rights violations and delivered statements on them here, but not one was taken up. And yet, in 1992, when I reframed the comfort women as being sex slaves, the UN commissioners were glued to my every word. So you see, it’s incredible, isn’t it?”

When she got lost and was wandering through the huge building where the meeting was taking place, she stumbled upon a room where people were gathering. Here, former comfort women who were testifying on a stage were being prompted and trained on how to deliver their lines. Unsurprisingly, the people who were stage-managing the whole operation were Japanese women (naturalized ethnic Korean lawmaker and activists cloth tie with communists). In this manner, the former comfort women were being trained as living witnesses to serve the movement.

  801. -At UN human rights conference The representative from Taiwan started by saying, “Unlike the women from Korea, Taiwanese women are gentle and obedient, so the Japanese soldiers treated us kindly. That’s why we take a somewhat different stance from the Koreans who stridently demand reparations.” The participants in the conference suddenly erupted into jeer and exclaimed, “What are you saying!” Before she had finished speaking, the conference room fell into pandemonium as the attendees threw fits or began approaching the podium. One person yelled, “Stop interpreting!”, and the interpreter abruptly halted. The ones who had shouted her down were well-known Japanese human rights activists.(Ofc, Communists ) After the conference reopened, a Thai woman who said that she was living in India shouted at the top of her lungs, “British soldiers did the same sort of things, no, even worse things, when they were stationed in India. Why aren’t you talking about that too?”

  802. Korea insists 200,000 Korean women were kidn*apped and ra.ped. According to Korea, almost all sex slaves were ki.lled or comm.itted su|cide soon after the end of the war. The number of victims were far more than that of the nuclear bomb in Hiroshima. However, Korea can not find even one article in newspapers in those days or soon after the war on this massacre. The population pyramid does not show the sign too. An old soldier Yoshida Seiji published “My war crime” in Japan in 1983. The book says “I ab.ducted 200 women and ra.ped in Cheju island in Korea.” Japanese Newspaper Asahi interviewed him and reported on the book many times. Korean media gave promonent coverage of it. The book also published in Korea in 1989 and was dramatized for TV in 1991. The audience ratings were quite high. A old woman came forward to sue Japanese government for money, she is the first prostitute in public. Supporting group was formed, the representaive of the group who arrested on fraud was mother-in-law of the Asahi reporter, Takashi Uemura. Korean local Newspaper, The Cheju verified the book in Cheju island and reported there was no woman that was abd.ucted and ra.ped by the Japanese army. The newspaper criticized Yoshida as “sha.meful businessman.” Yoshida said “ All book is biased by its author.” In the end, he conceded the book was a fiction before his death. But Korean Newspaper, the Chosun Ilbo that is the major newspapers in SK said in 5 Sep 2012 that “Only this book is enough to verify that Japanese army kid.napped women and ra.ped.” Though in 2014 The Asahi canceled 18 articles and 495 columns for 14 years from 1980. Lies about Japan are not corrected in Korea.

Why did the Korean government refuse the Japanese government's offer of individual compensation and use the huge amount of compensation money for economic development?

Each human being is part of a wide network of family and acquaintances and even bystanders. Kid*napping hundreds of thousands of people would leave millions of witnesses from many countries and cultures. What did the kidnappers do with the women they supposedly kid* napped?

The Japanese vice-minister testified that Korean politicians urged the Japanese government: "Once the Japanese government has apologised to Korea, it will never ask for apologies or compensation again. so we would like Japan to apologize to Korea for the sake of building better relations between Korea and Japan.” The vice-minister, looking back on those days, regretfully said. "The Japanese government was deceived by the Korean government. We did not conduct a proper investigation and made an unfounded apology. At the time, we believed that the testimonies of the alleged victims should be trusted and that help should be given immediately. We believed in sincerity of the Korean government, but the good intention of the Japanese government was not conveyed to Korea.”

One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council (Comfort women’s organization) to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros*tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean sp ies) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.” - Comfort Women Articles by Scholars

Dutch government officially announced that “Dutch government regards the Comfort women system primarily as pros**tution.” 1994 — The Bart von Poelgeest Report “The study by Dr. Poelgeest, then an officer of the Ministry of Interior of the Netherlands, was commissioned by the Dutch government in 1993. It is a comprehensive report on the recruitment, voluntary, of European women for pros**tution in the Dutch East Indies during the Japanese occupation in World War II. It also briefly touches upon recruitment of local women although that is not the focus of the study. There was nothing in the report to indicate a policy or practice of mass abduction of women, European or locals, as comfort women.” “During the war in China in the 1930s, the occurrence of venereal disease among the troops had led to problems with deployment and the Japanese military forces therefore decided to set up military brothels as a preventive measure. In addition to local women, Japanese and Korean women – Korea being part of the Japanese Empire – were recruited for the brothels in China.”

I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon."

  817. "Rahat bir kadın olmak temelde bir meslektir. Onların işi para kazanmak için cinsel hizmetler sunmaktı. Kadınlar yasal izin almadan bu işi yapmak için konfor istasyonlarına gidemezler. Onlar sadece götürülmezler. Çoğu durumda, kendi özgür iradeleri olmasa da, babaları ve anneleri tarafından satıldılar. Bunun nedeni, rahat bir kadın olmak ya da bir cinsel hizmet iş operatörü için çalışmak için bir sözleşmenin kesinlikle gerekli olmasıdır. Sözleşme, yasal bir vasi tarafından imzalanmış yazılı onay gerektirir. Yasal vasi bir ebeveyn veya aile üyesi olabilir. O günlerde, koruyucu babalar yasal vasi olarak kabul edildi. O günlerde koruyucu babalar tipik insan kaçakçılarıydı. Niçin? Çünkü yasal olarak kadınların kontrolünü ele geçirebilecek şekilde ebeveyn oynadılar. Bunun için aile kaydının resmi bir kopyası gerekliydi. Bu gerekliydi çünkü yasal vasinin kim olduğundan ve daha da önemlisi yaşın doğrulanması gerektiğinden emin olmak önemliydi. O günlerde, bir kadının fahişe olarak çalışmasına izin vermek için en az 17 yaşında olması gerekiyordu. 17 yaşın altındaki kişilerin genelevlerde çalışmasına izin verilmedi. Sıkı oldu. Bununla birlikte, Kore Konseyi cinsiyet eşitliği ve aile Bakanlığı olan MOON Jae-in yönetimi tarafından kukla haline getirilen KİM Bok-dong, 14 yaşında rahat bir kadın olmak için götürüldüğünü söyledi. Bu bir yalandır. LEE Yong-soo, iyi bildiğiniz gibi, yoon Mi-hyang tarafından yazılan bir kitapta” uyurken geceleri Japon ordusu tarafından götürüldüğünde 14 yaşındaydı". Bu bir yalandır. İlk ifadesinde LEE Yong-soo, KİM Bon-soon adında bir arkadaşını belirli bir kişiyle tanışmak için takip ettiğini söyledi. Bir çantada kırmızı bir elbise ve bir çift deri ayakkabı verildiğinde, çekici hissettiğinde, farkına varmadan onlarla birlikte gitti. 14 yaşında olduğunu söyledi. LEE Yong-soo'nun yaşı değişmeye devam ediyor. 14, 15 ve 16 yaşında olduğunu ve ilk ifadesinde 14 yaşında olduğunu söyledi. Bu bir yalandır. 14 yaşında bir kız rahat bir kadın olamazdı. Sadece 15 yaşında bir kişi olarak çalışmak imkansızdı. ROK şu anda bir yalan cenneti. 1960'lardan 1970'lere kadar, kırsal alanlardan gelen kadınlar Seul istasyonunda dolaşırken, birileri onlarla konuşmak için her zaman onlara yaklaştı. Sor, “aç Değil misin? Üşümüyor musun?” “Evet.""Neden benimle gelmiyorsun? Sana sıcak bir yerde yiyecek bir şeyler verebilirim."Böylece kişiyi takip ettiler ve kendilerini kolayca hayal edebileceğiniz bir yerde buldular. Kadınları teselli etmek için olan şey buydu. Ancak, hayat kadınlarına alınan yokken, tüccarlar, ya da pezevenkler bile, ebeveynler ve aile üyeleri ile birlikte ve peşin olarak sözleşme yaptı. Bu işverenden bir kredidir. KİM Hak-soon ilk olarak 14 Ağustos 1991'de teselli eden bir kadın olduğunu ifade etti. Aslında, o da 40 yen için üvey babası tarafından satın alındı. Annesi onu 40 yen'e sattı. Kim Hak-soon'un üvey babası kisaeng'e akademide eğitim verdi ve ülke içinde iş yapmaya çalıştı, ancak yasal yaşın altında olduğu için yapamadı. Buna göre, onu Çin'e götürmek için, Kim'in annesine “onu Çin'e götürüp Götüremeyeceğini” sordu. Kalkış sırasında, kim ifade verdi, annesi sarı bir süveter taşıyarak onu satmak için Pyongyang istasyonuna gitti. Şimdi, bu kadınların hiçbiri, kim Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KİL Won-ok veya KİM Bok-dong, ifadelerinde Japon ordusu tarafından alındıklarını söyledi. Kore kadın Konseyi'nden Yoon Mi-hyang, cinsiyet eşitliği ve aile Bakanlığı ve Moon Jae-in'in hepsi yalan söylüyor. Hepiniz gerçeği bilmelisiniz. Burada bir açıklama yapmamızın nedeni, bu yalanların tüm ROK'U doldurması, Kore halkı arasında çatışmaya ve bölünmeye neden olmasıdır. Yalan, Japonya'yı Güney Kore ile ilişkilerini koparmaya zorluyor. Doğru tarihi bilmeliyiz. Doğru tarihi bilerek, insanların düşüncesi bir olacaktır. O anlamda , "nefret ve çatışmayı simgeleyen teselli kadın Heykeli”, "yalanları ve uydurmayı simgeleyen bu teselli kadın Heykeli” kesinlikle kaldırılması gerekir.” - Kore Tarih Ders Kitabı Araştırma Enstitüsü Müdürü

  820. An article in Korean newspaper Kyunghyang Shinmun on June 6, 1977. It says that a Korean comfort station owner traff_cked dozens of Korean comfort women to Rabaul, Papua New Guinea to provide sex to Japanese/ Korean soldiers there during World War II. It was common knowledge in S Korea until the 1970s that Korean comfort station owners recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations, and no S Koreans contested that notion. Then Japanese newspaper published a series of fabricated articles in the 1980's falsely accusing Japanese military of abd_ucting Korean comfort women. S Korean communists with close ties to N Korea thought this was a great opportunity to discredit Japan and block reconciliation between Japan and S Korea. So they formed the anti-Japan lobby group in 1990 and began spreading comfort women lies worldwide.

These 22 girls were of ages from 19 to 31. They became the sole property of prisoner of war and the Army made no profits from them….” “Every ‘comfort girl’ was employed on the following contract conditions. She received fifty percent of her own gross takings and was provided with free passage, free food and free medical treatment. The passage and medical treatment were provided by the Army authorities, the food was purchased by the brothel owner with the assistance of the Army supply depots. The owners made other profits by selling clothing, necessities and luxuries to the girls at exorbitant charges. When a girl is able to repay the sum of money paid to her family, plus interest, she should be provided with a free return passage to KOREA, and then considered free….”

  823.  @lucisventusnoctis  [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office." The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school. —-

  826. As academics, we are used to dealing with exagge:rations. We are not used to finding that the story is pure fiction. But that is the nature of the comfort-women-se*x-slave story. It’s been a bizarrely unending story. Elderly Korean women claim to have been forced at Japanese bayonet-point to work as sex slaves. The Japanese government replies that the Korean government waived claims like this by treaty in 1965. But it expresses sympathy anyway, and offers more money. Koreans still complain. The Japanese government apologizes again, offers more money, and the Korean government promises never to raise the question again. Then a new political party takes power, declares the Japanese apology insincere, and starts the process all over again. Expressing sympathy to elderly women who have had a rough life is fine. Paying money to an ally in order to rebuild a stable relationship is fine. But the claims about enslaved Korean comfort women are historically untrue. The Japanese army did not dragoon Korean women to work in its brothels. It did not use Korean women as s*ex slaves. The claims to the contrary are simply ー factually ー false. - Harvard university

  827. said non-scientist The world Authority of disposal of nuclear waste says: “Scientists have been urging the Japanese government to slowly release tritium water from the Fukushima accident into the Pacific Ocean over about a ten-year period. The water is stored on-site in 900 or so large tanks. All of the other radioactive elements have been removed from the water by chemical treatment. Although not intuitive, this is a very good idea. Tritium is the mildly radioactive isotope of hydrogen that has two neutrons and one proton, with radioactivity so low that no environmental or human problems have ever come from it, even though it is a common radioactive element in the environment. Tritium is formed naturally by atmospheric processes as well as in nuclear weapons testing and in nuclear power plants. Tritium is assumed to be carcinogenic to humans at extremely high levels, although that claim is only hypothetical since adverse health effects from tritium have never appeared in humans or in the environment. Only laboratory studies on mice at extremely high levels have shown any adverse health effects and they were not fatal, even after ingesting 37,000,000 Bq/L. Putting this water into the ocean is without doubt the best way to get rid of it. Concentrating it and containerizing it actually causes more of a potential hazard to people and the environment. And is really expensive. Unfortunately, the idea of releasing radioactivity of any sort makes most people cringe. But that’s the problem, only the perception of tritium is bad, not the reality. And in our new world of anti-science, such a wrong idea might rule over what is the right thing to do, wasting precious resources and time. The scientific reality is tritium emits an incredibly weak beta particle that is easily stopped by our dead skin layer. It only goes a quarter inch in air. Even ingestion of tritium doesn’t do anything unless it’s at very high concentrations that can only be maintained in the laboratory. The health risks of tritium-contaminated water are so low that all countries of the world have no idea what regulatory limits to put on it. Using Becquerel per liter as the concentration unit (a Bq is a disintegration of a single nucleus per second), the United States has set 740 Bq/L for drinking water, but Canada has 7,000 Bq/L as its limit. Switzerland set 10,000 Bq/L, and Australia a whopping 76,103 Bq/L. But these limits were just taken out of thin air. They are not health-based. They were chosen because they were easy to achieve. Meaning none of these levels, or a hundred times these levels, are harmful. Even though more tritium has been formed in the last 60 years than all other radionuclides combined, there has never been a correlation of tritium with cancer or any other health effects in humans. Why is this the case? Hydrogen is a really small atom and easily gets through microscopic pores, even biological membranes and cell walls. Tritium (still hydrogen just heavier) can be found in water molecules (since water is two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom) and in organic materials which are mainly hydrogen and carbon. In fact, because tritium is three times heavier than normal hydrogen, tritium tends to replace normal hydrogen in water molecules, rapidly diluting any tritium in our bodies and in the environment. Our bodies are mostly hydrogen, and that is mostly in water. So while tritium’s radioactive half-life is 12.3 years, its biological half-life in our bodies is only 10 days. Therefore, ingestion of this weak emitter doesn’t have the same effect as most other ingested radionuclides.
    1
  828. 2/ It’s also difficult for the extremely low-energy beta from tritium to get through the water, cell walls and other materials in between the radionuclide and any DNA. The energy in the slow-moving beta from tritium mostly gets dispersed within the electron clouds of other molecules through inelastic collisions and the Bremsstrahlung effect. This turns the kinetic energy of the beta emission into electromagnetic non-ionizing energy. In the end, it’s really difficult to get a large radiation dose from tritium, unlike any other radionuclide. It exits the body and is diluted too quickly. Even more important, there’s more tritium in the atmosphere from natural processes and left over from old bomb testing, than ever has been, or will be, released from commercial reactors. Cosmic rays produce four million curies worth of tritium every year (150,000,000,000,000,000 Bq) in the upper atmosphere, much of which rains out into surface waters that we end up drinking. Presently, however, the biggest source of tritium is from old above ground nuclear bomb tests that caused a peak in atmospheric tritium in 1963. These amounts of tritium from other sources are millions of times greater than what would be slowly released from these tanks at Fukushima. Since there’s been no health or environmental effects from any of these larger sources, it’s hard to get excited about dumping such a tiny amount from Fukushima into the ocean. Besides, there are 16,280,000,000,000,000,000,000 Bq of potassium-40, rubidium-87 and many more radionuclides already in the world’s oceans. So the fish are swimming in plenty of natural radioactive material. The biological half-life of tritium in fish and marine life is even shorter than in humans, less than 2 days and the dilution in seawater would be too rapid for any significant dose to get back to any people. Opposite to many other radionuclides, the physical and chemical properties of tritium means it does not concentrate up the food change, it dilutes up the food chain. So while Japanese fishermen fear this strategy of release from a public relations perspective, their fish will still test negative with respect to food radiation limits and their packaged fish sold at market would still carry the official ‘safe’ stickers. So it all comes down to perception and fear. We as scientists can give you the answers, but you can ignore them if you want, especially since non-scientists make these decisions anyway.

  831. The soldiers in thumbnail and the video are NOT Japanese army but KMT. And the US government, under the Clinton and Bush administrations, spent 7 years and 30 million dollars to look into Nazi and Japanese war crimes. After 7 years of research, they found no evidence of the forced prost*tution of comfort women, the Nanjing Massacre. “Final Report to the US Congress on Nazi War Crimes & Japanese Imperial Government Records” authored by the Interagency Working Group (IWG).” The report was published in the spring of 2007. Out of millions of pages of newly declassified material, much of it related to Japan, and they were unable to find evidence of forced prost*tution. They also looked for information about the Nanjing Massacre and unit 731, but found no smoking guns. Nobody doubts that there was a massacre in Nanjing, and nobody doubts the Chinese ability to exaggerate by orders of magnitude, and then to believe their own stories. A Chinese organization lobbied for the IWG investigation. The “Global Alliance for Preserving the History of WWII in Asia” (Global Alliance). It should be noted that Global Alliance was closely associated with Iris Chang, author of “The Rape of Nanking”. Surprisingly, the IWG report offers an apology to Global Alliance for not finding anything.

  834. Dutch government officially announced that “Dutch government regards the Comfort women system primarily as pros**tution.” 1994

  835. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  836. ⚫︎Diary The “Diary of Gordon Thomas” is another contemporary source on the subject. Thomas was the former editor of The Rabaul Times who spent three years in Rabaul (Papua New Guinea) operating an icehouse while Rabaul was under Japanese occupation. Comfort women often visited his icehouse and were not under guard. Mention is made of women from two different comfort stations fighting over customers.   The diary of a Korean who managed comfort stations in Burma and Singapore is also part of the record. Korean Professor Choe Kil Sung analyzed this diary. The following are extracts which clarify the status of comfort women:   When people think of a comfort station…quite a few…imagine a military camp or an army tent. And yet, it seems that, for the most part, the comfort stations were actually located in ordinary civilian buildings.   These comfort stations were also engaged in buying and selling, borrowing and loaning, and transfer of property.   Professor Choe concludes: “After I read the diary for the first time, I concluded definitely that the comfort stations were not military institutions, but rather similar to wartime brothels.”

  837. Watch the video carefully, Kim Bok-Dong testified that she worked as a comfort woman for 8 years until 1948 but WW2 ended in 1945. -IJA didn’t exist after WW2.

Her human rights was likely violated by UN/US soldiers.

  838. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government is still trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  839.  @ozciva  Comfort Women and the Professors HARVARD JOHN M. OLIN CENTER FOR LAW, ECONOMICS, AND BUSINESS Abstract: We in the West have embraced an odd "narrative." The Japanese army of the 1930s and 1940s, we write, forcibly drafted 200,000 mostly Korean teenage girls into "ra*pe camps" called "comfort stations." Should anyone question the story, we summarily consign the person to "denier" status. This makes for a strange phenomenon. Only a few of the comfort women claim to have been forcibly recruited, and several of them had told a different story before the reparations campaign against Japan began. A strongly leftist affiliate runs their nursing home, controls whom they can see, and vilifies any woman who might say anything else. In fact, no one has ever located any documentary evidence that the Japanese military forcibly recruited any Korean woman into a comfort station. And when Korean acade:mics question the orthodox account, their own government sometimes prosecutes them for criminal defamation -- indeed, sent one heterodox professor last fall to six months in prison

  840. War crimes? (Korean＝K) 148 K were convicted of class B and C War crimes.23 of them were sentenced to dea//th (compared to 920 Japanese, it’s relatively high considering that ethnic K made up a small percentage of Japanese military) Including K prison guards who were particularly notorious for their brutality during the war. “many of commanders and guards in POW camps were K. The Japanese apparently didn’t trust them as soldiers -and it is said that they were sometimes more cruel than the Japanese.” -Judge Burt Roling( represented the Netherlands at international military tribunals for the far east) Survivor of 'Death Railway' says K guards were worst tormentors of Allied prisoners and 'should be whipped' The telegraph.11 November 2014 As one prisoner noted, "The K guards were the most ab:usive... the K were anxious to get blo:od on their bay:onets; and then they thought they were veterans." -Bataan-Death-March part 2 Koreans who were members of the Imperial Japanese Army caused atrocities in the Philippines during World War II. Ever heard of Hong Sa-ik? Research your history. Hong Sa-ik was an ethnic Korean who, in WW2, became the overall commander of the Japanese prison camps in the Philippines. He was even held responsible for the atrocities committed in the Japanese prison camps. For that he was executed as a war criminal.

  841. The BBC report in effect calls attention to Korea’s double standard. The Korean government has repeatedly brought up the issue of the so-called “comfort women” of the Imperial Japanese Army, even within meetings of the United Nations, but has never apologized for the actions of its own soldiers in Vietnam.  The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In effectively abandoned the Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue. The article further notes that, “South Korea also spent decades lobbying Japan for a similar apology over the hundreds of thousands of South Korean women forced to work as World War Two sex slaves.” While the phrases “hundreds of thousands” and “sex slaves” are problematic, the BBC does throw light on the position of Korea, which has demanded apologies from Japan while feigning ignorance of its own problems.

  843. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen.

  844. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traffickers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a prostitute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict” - Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute)

  846. The Government of Japan’s position regarding these claims is as follows; ●“Forceful taking away” “Forceful taking away” of comfort women by the Japanese military and government authorities could not be confirmed in any of the documents that the Government of Japan was able to identify. (This position is stated, for example, in a written answer approved by the Cabinet on December 16, 1997 to a question by a member of the House of Representatives.) ●“Sex slaves” The expression of “sex slaves” contradicts the facts so that it should not be used. This point was confirmed with the ROK on the occasion of the Japan-ROK Agreement in December 2015 and the expression “sex slaves” is not used in the agreement. ●Figures such as “200,000 persons” for the total number of comfort women The figure “200,000 persons” lacks concrete evidence. As stated in the report of the Government study’s result of August 4, 1993, it is virtually impossible to determine the total number of comfort women as no documents have been found which either indicate the total number or give sufficient ground to establish an estimate.

  847. - The Bart von Poelgeest Report The study by Dr. Poelgeest, then an officer of the Ministry of Interior of the Netherlands, was commissioned by the Dutch government in 1993. It is a comprehensive report on the recruitment, voluntary, of European women for pros***ution in the Dutch East Indies during the Japanese occupation in World War II. It also briefly touches upon recruitment of local women although that is not the focus of the study. There was nothing in the report to indicate a policy or practice of mass abdu*ction of women, European or locals, as comfort women. During the war in China in the 1930s, the occurrence of venereal disease among the troops had led to problems with deployment and the Japanese military forces therefore decided to set up military brothels as a preventive measure. In addition to local women, Japanese and Korean women – Korea being part of the Japanese Empire – were recruited for the brothels in China. In practice, it was the local military commanders who had to draw up regulations on the establishment of military brothels in their territory. The chief of staff of the 16th army on Java and thus head of the military administration there decided that a license was required for the establishment of a military brothel. A license was issued only if certain conditions were met, relating to, for example, regular medical check-ups and payment. A further precondition was that the women working in the brothels had to do so voluntarily; according to the regulations, a license would only be issued if the women involved signed a statement to the effect that they were providing their service voluntarily.”

This is an interrogation report of 20 Korean comfort women in Burma. This report clearly states: A “comfort woman” is nothing more than a pros**tute or professional camp follower. ⚫︎Allied Translator Records and Captured Japanese Documents Another primary source is found in the ATIS (Allied Translator/Interpreter Section) Research Report No. 120. It says, “Amenities of the Japanese Armed Forces,” dated November 15, 1945. Among them are the following: From a captured Japanese document, “Rules for Restaurants and Houses of Pros**tution,” dated February 1943: MANILA: “Persons receiving permission to open business [comfort station] will…submit…copy of personal histories of employees….” “Permission is necessary before anyone joins the establishment.” SHANGHAI SECTOR: “The pros**tutes will possess licenses….” “Unlicensed pros**tutes are strictly prohibited from plying their trade.” “The pros**tute and the operator will share equally the proceeds of the work done by the pros**tute.” “Tacloban Brothel Regulations,” undated: “Places called brothels in these regulations are special brothels operated with Filipino women (licensed pros**tutes).” ⚫︎Foreign Ministry Documents on Comfort Stations Japanese Foreign Ministry documents from the wartime era were also captured and are among the primary sources available. These include: Consul General Reports on the Status of Countrymen and Businesses in Chinese Cities: Report on Jiujian (sic) Consulate Report No. 561, 11/8/38; Nanchang (sic) Report No. 217, 8/9/39; Chiahu (sic) Report No. 170, 8/2/39 All of these reports list comfort stations, together with other commercial businesses, not as something special. Operators are listed as civilians. Countrymen are identified as Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese. There is no mention of any comfort station operated by military personnel. Another document, the “Report by Governor General of Guangdong (sic), Report No. 37, 3/15/41,” also lists comfort stations with other businesses run by Japanese, Taiwanese, and Koreans. All comfort stations with Korean women were operated by Koreans, Japanese women by Japanese. There is not even a hint of military guards.

  855. Did you know Korean Council is working for NK? Comfort women’s testimonies are coached by Korean Council (Anti-Japanese organization ) This is how the comfort women organization Korean Council was established by communists. —- Once again in this instance, it draws attention again to how this organization was established. The late Ms. Lee Woo-Jung, the chairperson of the Korean Church Women United, visited Japan in August, 1987, when the World Conference against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs was held in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Reportedly, she had a secret meeting with Ms. SHIMIZU Sumiko, from the Japan Socialist Party, on a ship in Nagasaki Bay, escaping the surveillance of the KCIA ( Korean Central Intelligence Agency). In the meeting, Ms. Lee and Ms. Shimizu pledged to make efforts to create solidarity of the three organizations – the Korean Church Women United (led by Ms. Lee herself, which this organization was later founded on), the Women's Department of the Japan Socialist Party, and the Democratic Front for the Reunification of Korea (an affiliate of the North Korean United Front Department). Following that, in November, 1990, this organization "the Korean Council for the Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan" was established in South Korea. In May, 1991, the first symposium of "Peace in Asia and women's role," organized by the Japan Women's Council, an affiliate of the Japan Socialist Party, was held in Tokyo. Reportedly, Ms. Lyeo Yeon-gu, the chairperson of the Democratic Front for the Reunification of Korea (North Korean side), Ms. Yoon Jeong-ok and Ms. Lee hyo-jae, the then joint representatives of this organization (South Korean side), joined forces there and agreed to collaborate on joint North-South struggles. It should be curiously noted that these North and South Korean organizations agreed to cooperate on joint struggles in a third country, Japan, through the mediation of the Japan Socialist Party. The Japan Socialist Party was said to be deeply involved in expanding the comfort women issue. The Korean Council for the Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan was, from the very beginning, also an integral part of the North Korean agency (the United Front Department). If so, it is no wonder this organization has worked so determinedly to damage the Japan-South Korea relationship, not resolving but worsening the comfort women issue, until it became no longer solvable. It has been working for the benefit of North Korea. It is also no wonder that their activities had been heightened under the current Moon Jae-in administration. The Moon administration, which believes in the ethnic legitimacy of North Korea, is a pro-North extreme left revolutionary administration. So it is on very good terms with this organization, and this is why Ms. Yoon Mi-hyang was able to become a member of the National Assembly for the ruling party. This clearly exposes the truth surrounding the comfort women issue. This organization (the Korean Council for Justice and Remembrance for the Issues of Military Sexual Slavery by Japan) is nothing but a disgraceful mob of unscrupulous activists whose main activities were to line their own pockets and irrevocably damage the Japan-South Korea relationship. Sadly these former comfort women and self-proclaimed former comfort women were merely used as political tools to this end. On this occasion, how much money Ms. Yoon Mi-hyang earned in the comfort woman statue business should also be examined closely. For decades now, so many people have wasted so much time, money and taxes in these efforts to try and resolve this comfort women issue, not to mention the many Japanese living overseas who had been unfairly harassed because of this issue. Japan should no longer be involved in the comfort women issue. Those comfort woman statues erected all over the world are the symbols of deception and they should all be removed.

  858. "Japonya'nın Kore'ye karşı işlediği iddia edilen suçlarla ilgili en sık tekrarlanan ve en çarpık efsanelerden biri, sözde “konfor kadınları" ile ilgilidir” Almanya Japonya doğru olmasa da “suçlarını telafi” olduğunu sonunda hakkındaki iddialar. Sadece bir yönü düşünmeme izin verin. 1965'te Kore hükümeti Park Chung-hee, iki ülke arasındaki ilişkileri normalleştiren Japonya ile bir anlaşma imzaladı. Antlaşma uyarınca Güney Kore, Japon egemenliğinin kurbanları için çok büyük miktarda ekonomik yardım, hibe, kredi ve önemli ölçüde tazminat aldı. (Japon hükümeti ulusal bütçenin 2,5 katını tazminat olarak ödedi, ancak Kore'de 40 yıl boyunca Japonya'ya karşı nefreti kışkırtmak için gizli tuttu ve Kore hükümeti gerçeği gizlemeye devam ediyor. Tüm bireysel iddialar 1965 Japonya-Güney Kore Antlaşması'nda çözülmesine rağmen, Japon hükümeti Koreli kadınlara birkaç kez iyi bir jest olarak tazminat teklif etti. Bununla birlikte, Japonya 1995 yılında Asya kadın Fonu aracılığıyla tazminat teklif ettiğinde(tazminat, Japonya Başbakanı'ndan kişisel bir özür mektubu ile geldi), Güney Koreli STK, eski konfor kadınlarını Japonya'nın özürünü ve tazminatını kabul etmemekle tehdit etti. STK'NIN emrine meydan okuyanların 61'i hain olarak doğrulandı, isimleri ve adresleri gazetelerde fahişe olarak yayınlandı ve hayatlarının geri kalanını utanç içinde yaşamak zorunda kaldılar. Güney Kore hükümeti, 2015 yılında konfor kadınları konusunda Japonya-Kore anlaşması imzaladı ve Japon hükümeti eski Koreli konfor kadınlarına kefaret parası olarak 1 milyar dolar ödedi. Ancak, Kore Moon Jae In yönetimi, 2018'de herhangi bir bildirimde bulunmaksızın anlaşmayı terk etti. Fesih duyurusu Japonya için tamamen kabul edilemez. Cumhurbaşkanı Moon Jae-in de dahil olmak üzere ROK Hükümeti, defalarca “anlaşmayı terk etmeyeceğini” ve “Japonya ile yeniden müzakere istemeyeceğini " belirtti”) - O sırada Japon hükümeti bireysel kurbanları telafi etmeyi teklif etti, ancak Güney Kore hükümeti teklifi reddetti ve tüm parayı alması ve vatandaşlarını telafi etmesi konusunda ısrar etti. Bu paranın çok azı (sadece 250 ABD doları) bireylere ödendi ve bunun yerine Güney Kore'nin ekonomik gelişimi için kullanıldı. Japon hükümeti, konfor kadın sistemi için özür diledi (aslında savaştan önce hem Kore hem de Japonya'da var olan ve çok sayıda Japon fahişenin yanı sıra diğer ülkelerden gelenleri de içeren lisanslı fuhuş sisteminin bir uzantısıydı), Almanya hiçbir zaman özür dilemedi veya eski fahişelere herhangi bir tazminat ödemedi. Aslında, hiç kimse böyle bir şey talep etmedi, çünkü işgal altındaki ülkelerde haklı ya da yanlış bir şekilde işbirlikçi olarak görülen bu kadınlar hiçbir zaman destekçi ya da savunucu bulamadılar” - Profesör Andrzej Kozlowski, Varşova Üniversitesi

  867. Japanese are upset about this situation. We do not try to rewrite the history. Also we are not revisionists or right wings. As the fabricated history is spreading, we cannot miss damaged our ancestors’ honor, and we want you to know the fact what the real history is. There existed at that time women called “Comfort Women”. There existed in the world women who had misfortune to be in pros**tution because of poverty or of any other reasons. But the fact that Japan as a state power forced women into pros**tution did not exist. Not to speak of abd*uction of about 200 thousand young women loaded in trucks heading for fields of battle. It’s absolutely fictitious since there is no evidence wherever people go to look for. If such abd*uction had happened in Korea at that time, there would have been riots since 80 % of police officers were Koreans. The Comfort Women issue began with a lie which has been strengthened by those who take profit from this lie, helped by awkward explanations of Japanese government.

Her human rights was likely violated by UN/US soldiers.

  869. Kim said she has never received an apology from Japan, which is a flat-out lie. The truth is that comfort women's organization “Korean council” embezzle donations, force comfort women to lie, obstruct reconciliation with Japan, so that they can continue the comfort women propaganda. Japan has apologized many times and paid huge amounts of atonement money to the Korean women, but the Korean government has not given it to the women. *Japan-South Korea Treaty of 1965 During treaty negotiations, the Japanese government asked the S Korean government to identify and separate individual claims from the treaty because the Japanese government wanted to make sure the survivors received compensation. The South Korean government declined and accepted the entire sum of 800 million dollars (over ten billion dollars in today's money) in place of its citizens and spent all of it on infrastructures. Therefore it is not reasonable for the South Korean government to keep asking for additional compensation from Japan. And their claim that they were forced into pros**tution is also a lie. A Korean professor interviewed the Korean women in 2003. After the interview professor commented: “I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean spi*es) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.”

However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  871. Throughout the Vietnam war, SK soldiers violently, systematically ra_ped and se_xually assaulted thousands of young women, some as young as 【13 and 14 】years of age. Many of these women bore children as a result of these assaults. Today, between 5,000 and 30,000 children of mixed Korean-Vietnamese ancestry, called the “Lai Dai Han,” live at the margins of Vietnamese society. Ms.Tuyet (Vietnamese) was 14 years old when she was ra_ped by a Korean soldier. Her family owned a coffee shop near Korean military base, and she was ra_ped while her mother was out for shopping. After that, both she and her mother were raped and impregnated by SK soldiers. After her mother died of illness in 1975, Ms.Tuyet worked hard to raise not only her own children, but also her mother's “Lai Dai Han” son. “My life has been a series of hardships," she said, calling on the South Korean government to apologize to her mother and herself. On October 19, 2015, the Voice of Vietnam, an American NGO that supports her, delivered a demand for an apology signed by 29,000 people to the South Korean Embassy in Washington, DC. But it has remained ignored. Moreover, in a speech to the UN Human Rights Council, South Korean Foreign Minister announced his intention to hold an international conference on sexual violence against women in conflict zones, led by the South Korean government, in order to pass on the comfort women issue to the next generation. In other words, S Korea declared that it would continue to slander the Japanese people with fabricated stories while ignoring the real victims who were ra_ped by Korean soldiers. 😡

  872. The BBC report in effect calls attention to Korea’s double standard. The Korean government has repeatedly brought up the issue of the so-called “comfort women” of the Imperial Japanese Army, even within meetings of the United Nations, but has never apologized for the actions of its own soldiers in Vietnam.  The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In effectively abandoned the Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue. The article further notes that, “South Korea also spent decades lobbying Japan for a similar apology over the hundreds of thousands of South Korean women forced to work as World War Two sex slaves.” While the phrases “hundreds of thousands” and “sex slaves” are problematic, the BBC does throw light on the position of Korea, which has demanded apologies from Japan while feigning ignorance of its own problems.

  874. Footage of Lee Yong-soo filmed in 1992 is now found, in which she testified that she became Comfort Woman just because she followed a man who gave her a dress and shoes, NOT because she was tricked or abducted by force by Imperial Japanese Army. The footage filmed on Aug 15th, 1992 at KBS. That seems a little bit ironic that the announcer reconfirmed that she became Comfort Woman NOT because she was abd*ucted by force by Imperial Japanese Army, but she just followed a man by her own will.

  875. [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school. —-

  876. Former Comfort Women Pae said: “Then, we were also soldiers. We were not pros**tutes. We helped the soldiers to fight. Do you understand?” (her statement is reminiscent of that of former Japanese comfort women, who sincerely believed in their personal contribution to Japan’s war project by laboring as comfort women so as to fulfill the wartime slogan of “for the good of the country.”) That’s why we were also soldiers. We helped them fight. Do I think what Japan did was evil? Not really. After all, Japan was at war. They wanted to win the war. Actually, I blame my country most. The fact that our country was weak. Were we a strong country, it would not and could not have happened. So if I am to blame anything, anybody, it is my country. . . . You keep pushing me to say that Japan was wrong, but I still say they did it for their country and we let it happen to us because we were not powerful enough. . . . Well, we should never let it happen again. Never. After all that, I don’t blame Japan. Even now, if there were two men proposing, one Korean and the other Japanese, I would rather marry the Japanese. . . . -Former Comfort women Pae Chok-kan The Comfort women by Professor Sarah Soh P189

  880. A Malaysian lady testified that “My grandmother, still alive, told me about her experience during Japanese occupation. She told me that the Japanese actually helped her village during the war. Before Japan came, we were colonize by the British. Because I am a malay, our people were looked down by the British and the chinese immigrants living in the cities. To get a job there were hard as Malays are treated as a second class citizens. My grandmother was a teen when that happened, her father is a malay language school teacher but the school is old and in poor condition due to the discrimination by the British and the chinese. The Japanese came first to my village as a spy to gain information about the British. He often spoke to the locals there including my grandmother's family. When Japan invaded Malaya, they reached my grandmother's village first in Kedah. When she told me, the Japanese soldiers and officers were being respectful to the locals there especially my grandmother's family because my grandmother's father is a teacher. She said that Japan has culture of respecting the their teacher so that's why my grandmother's family were treated really well. They even gave my grandmother a bento sushi as a gift. Noted that my grandmother is just a poor commoner in the village. Not a rich person. For Japan to did all of that as an invader really shocks me because this is the first time I heard about this from my grandmother's experience. After that the Japanese marched south to continue on with their conquest. They mostly occupied the city so the village were untouched. She recalls her worst moment after Japan surrendered to the US. That's when the communist took over. Because the communist are mostly chinese, they hated the malays so much that they decided to kill all the malays because of accused of being the "collaborators" of Japan.

  884.  @rahadityap2375  “Like many people born after independence, I had no experience of living under the Dutch rule to be able to say how bad or good it was. At school we learned a thing or two about the nature of colonialism. But that is precisely the question. How much do we know about how our ancestors lived through those 300 years, when we know that they were k*led, tor*tured, ra*ped, suppressed, enslaved at home, sold as slaves abroad, forced into hard labor, sent to exile, treated as non-citizens on their own land and stripped of all dignity as human beings? What about those 300 years from the time the Netherlands started to impose control over global spice supplies from Indonesia by violent means? We know of the 1621 k*lings of almost the entire population of 14,000 people on Banda Island. But we know little of the intervening years between that mas*sacre and the war for independence in 1945-1949. We know something about the Diponegoro War, and we get a glimpse of Dutch abuses from the 1860 novel Max Havelaar by Dutch author Eduard Douwes Dekker. We hardly get any picture of life under Dutch colonialism from writers in the Balai Pustaka generation from 1920 onward. As good as their writings are — considered classic Indonesian literature — they take the colonial system as given, understandably because of the censorship. — Launched in 2016, Histori Bersama casts doubts on the credibility of an ongoing research project commissioned by the Dutch government to look into claims of war crimes committed when Dutch soldiers were sent to Indonesia to reimpose colonial rule after World War II. In spite of the massive evidence, the Dutch version of the “police actions” in 1945-1949 denied any war crimes and laid the blame for violence on Indonesian “rebels”. Dutch consciousness and understanding of their colonial history is for them to deal with. If they have not come to terms with their ugly past, it is their problem. As Indonesians, we need to learn about our history from our own perspectives, most particularly about how our ancestors lived through those very difficult years of Dutch colonial rule. Three centuries is such a long period that it must have left a deep legacy in our psyche and perhaps even our characters. Our inferiority complex may have developed from those long years of violent suppression. Corruption, a malady present among all post-independent Indonesian leaders, may have been inherited from the princes and sultans who collaborated with the Dutch rulers, in return for material gains and power. What about the violent threads? We may have taken some of the best from our colonial masters, but we must have also inherited some of the worst Dutch character traits. Without understanding our own history of colonial subjugation, we may never know who we really are. We owe it to ourselves to learn about the truth.@ -COMMENTARY: How bad, how cruel were Dutch to us?

Excerpts of its findings are below. There was nothing in the report to indicate a general practice of using force in recruitment, although isolated cases were found: The chief of staff of the 16th army on Java…decided that a license was required for the establishment of a military brothel. A license was issued only if certain conditions were met…. A further precondition was that the women working in the brothels had to do so voluntarily: according to the regulations, a license would only be issued if the women involved signed a statement to the effect that they were providing their service voluntarily.

  890. One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

Google 【幅射危機】大亞灣放射物質排放上限 遠超日本福島10倍 or 港媒 : 中国核电站放射物排放上限远超福岛十倍 日本政府在周二(13日)提出，決定把福島核電廠積存的核廢水，在兩年後經稀釋後排落大海，而經處理的廢水將主要包含一種「氚」放射性物質。事件連日引來中國不斷批評，但距離香港只有50公里的大亞灣核電站，放射性物質「氚」的排放上限，竟然比日本福島的排放標準高出10倍。 據早前日本政府公布，福島核電廠積存的核廢水在經過稀釋後，每年最多排放22兆貝克的液態氚，濃度亦會稀釋到每升1500貝克，即是世衛飲用水標準的七分一。但中國國內資料顯示，鄰近香港的大亞灣核電站每年的液態氚排放上限達到225兆貝克，是福島未來每年排放量的10倍。 而據香港核電投資公司 (HKNIC) 數據顯示，過去10年大亞灣核電站的液態氚排放量平均為上限的20%，即是約49.5兆貝克，與日本政府訂出的標準比較，是超出一倍有多。此外，中國其他地區核電廠的液態氚排放量也較福島核電廠高，包括秦山核電廠、福建福清核電廠等。 「氚」是一種帶有放射性，能量雖高但穿透力弱的放射性物質，是氫的同位素之一。「氚」不會穿透人體，僅影響空氣中數厘米的範圍。一般情況下，飲用含氚的水才可能會對人體造成一定傷害，但「氚」在人體的半衰期只有7至18日，即使直接吸收了，每過14日殘留身體的劑量都會減半。 資料來源：中國生態環境部、香港核電投資公司

As the report states: “An evidence of Korean victims of sex slavery of imperial Japanese Army was found at US National Archives” Korean media gave promonent coverage of it. But that was made up. Original film was silent but narration was added in 2017 to make it looks like real. In reality, US National archives description says that they are “CHINESE pros**tutes captured by KMT” They also were being untruthful when they told their self-proclaimed effort about spending 2 years going to national archives for research. The staff have revealed that they’ve only visited the site twice....

  896. Os testemunhos das ex-Comfort Women são inconsistentes, visto que foram treinados pela organização extremamente esquerdista "Conselho Coreano" ⚫︎Em uma entrevista com a professora Chunghee Sarah Soh, da San Francisco State University, uma ex-consoladora coreana Kim Sun-ok disse que foi vendida por seus pais quatro vezes. Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em uma entrevista com o professor Park da Sejong University na Coreia do Sul, uma ex-coreana Bae Chun-hee disse que odiava o pai que a vendeu. Ela disse que os homens que recrutaram mulheres coreanas e operaram estações de conforto eram “todos coreanos”, e que as mulheres coreanas que testemunharam perante o Relator Especial da ONU mentiram em nome do Conselho Coreano. ⚫︎Uma ex-consoladora coreana Mun Oku-chu disse em suas memórias: "Fui recrutado por um dono de estação de conforto coreano. Economizei uma quantia considerável de dinheiro com gorjetas, então abri uma conta poupança. Não podia acreditar que pudesse ter tanto dinheiro em minha conta. Um de meus amigos juntou muitos joias, por isso comprei um diamante. Costumava ver filmes japoneses e peças de Kabuki em que os jogadores vinham do Japão. Tornei-me uma mulher popular em Rangum. Havia muito mais oficiais em Rangum do que perto da linha de frente, por isso fui convidado para muitas festas. Cantei canções em festas e recebi muitas dicas. Coloquei um par de sapatos de salto alto, um casaco verde e carregava uma bolsa de couro de crocodilo. Eu andava com um vestido da moda. Ninguém na cidade Eu poderia imaginar que eu era uma mulher reconfortante. Eu me senti muito feliz e orgulhosa. Recebi permissão para voltar para casa, mas não queria voltar para a Coréia. Eu queria ficar em Rangoon. " De acordo com o professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul, Mun Oku-chu continuou a trabalhar como prostituta na Coréia após a guerra. Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em uma entrevista ao jornal coreano The Hankyoreh (o artcile foi publicado em 15 de maio de 1991), uma ex-consorte coreana Kim Hak-sun disse que foi vendida por sua mãe. Em 1993, Kim Hak-sun disse ao professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul: "Minha mãe me mandou treinar como Kiseng em Pyongyang e depois me vendeu". Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi abduzida pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em 1993, uma ex-consorte coreana Kim Gun-ja disse ao professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul: "Fui vendida por meu pai adotivo". Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. Kim Gun-ja também testemunhou perante o Comitê de Relações Exteriores dos Estados Unidos em 2007 e disse que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em 1993, uma ex-consoladora coreana Lee Yong-soo disse ao professor Ahn Byong Jik da Universidade de Seul: "Na época, eu estava mal vestido e miserável. No dia em que saí de casa com minha amiga Kim Pun-sun sem contar para minha mãe, Eu estava usando uma saia preta, uma camisa de algodão e tamancos de madeira nos pés. Você não sabe como fiquei feliz quando recebi um vestido vermelho e um par de sapatos de couro de um recrutador coreano. " Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi abduzida pelos militares japoneses. Lee Yong-soo também testemunhou perante o Comitê de Relações Exteriores da Câmara dos Estados Unidos em 2007. Ela foi informada de que tinha cinco minutos para falar. Ela ignorou a instrução e continuou por mais de uma hora fazendo uma performance de choro e gritos. Seu falso testemunho resultou na aprovação da Resolução 121 da Câmara dos Representantes dos Estados Unidos. Em 2017, Lee Yong-soo deu falsos testemunhos perante a Câmara Municipal de São Francisco, o que resultou na construção de uma estátua feminina de conforto naquela cidade. ⚫︎ De acordo com a professora Chunghee Sarah Soh, da San Francisco State University, uma ex-coreana Moon Pil-ki foi recrutada por um agente do dono de uma estação de conforto coreana e levada para a Manchúria com outras quatro mulheres. Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em 1993, uma ex-mulher coreana de conforto, Kil Won-ok, disse ao professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul: "Fui vendida por meus pais". Mesmo assim, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU, Radhika Coomaraswamy, que foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ De acordo com várias testemunhas, o Conselho Coreano (grupo ativista pró-Norte) treinou mulheres para dizer "Eu fui sequestrada pelos militares japoneses." O professor Ahn Byong Jik, da Universidade de Seul, diz: "Quando entrevistei ex-mulheres consoladoras no início da década de 1990, nenhuma delas tinha nada de ruim a dizer sobre os militares japoneses. Elas odiavam seus pais que as vendiam e os donos de consoles coreanos que as maltratavam. Mas depois que o Conselho Coreano os colocou em sua folha de pagamento, seus depoimentos mudaram completamente. " ⚫︎ Uma ex-coreana Sim Mi-ja que se recusou a estar na folha de pagamento do Conselho Coreano disse: "As mulheres coreanas, que testemunharam perante o Relator Especial da ONU, mentiram em nome do Conselho Coreano. Elas são vigaristas".

  897. The “Lai Dai Han”: UK’s BBC Reports on Korean Soldiers’ Deeds during the Vietnam War The BBC report in effect calls attention to SK’s 《double standard》. The SK government has repeatedly brought up the issue of the so-called “comfort women” of the Imperial Japanese Army, even within meetings of the United Nations, but has never apologized for the actions of its own soldiers in Vietnam. Children of mixed ancestry born due to se:xual assault against local women by SK soldiers during the Vietnam War are victims of discrimination in Vietnam. They are called by the derogatory term, “Lai Dai Han.” The number of Lai Dai Han is unclear, but estimates range from 5,000 to 30,000. the BBC does throw light on the position of Korea, which has demanded apologies from Japan while feigning ignorance of its own problems. The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In effectively abandoned the Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue. Yet, SK has failed to recognize the extensive sexual violence perpetrated by Korean soldiers in Vietnam.

Justice for Lai Dai Han gives a voice to the victims of se*xual violence during the Vietnam War.

  905. Tran Dai Nhat never questioned why he looked different to other Vietnamese children. For him, living the first years of his life during the Vietnam War was only the beginning of a struggle of identity and acceptance which would plague the rest of his childhood and his adult life. “When the war ended I remember a Vietnamese soldier told me my father was a dog. I did not understand. I was five years old. And this was only the start of things for me and my sisters,” Mr Nhat recalls. He and his two sisters share this identity. Mr Nhat’s identity made him a victim of bullying throughout his childhood. “At school they told me I was the son of a ‘dog’. I did nothing. I could not do anything. I never understood why.” “Teachers hit me – asking why I didn’t return to Korea with my father. My entire life, I have been made to feel as though I should not be here.” It was not until he was 18 years old when his mother opened up to him and explained who his father was. Mr Nhat grew up in central Vietnamese province of Phu Yen, close to a South Korean military base. His mother, Tran Thi Ngai, a nurse in the local village, was 24 when she was ra*ped for the first time by a South Korean soldier. She was still a virgin. Her family would not believe she was ra*ped – instead believing that she had sex willingly – and, when she found out she was pregnant, she resorted to medicine to induce an abo*rtion. The medicine failed and Mrs Ngai gave birth to Mr Nhat’s older sister. The soldier who initially ra*ped Mrs Ngai directed two of his fellow soldiers to her over the course of the next two years. “They felt that they could help themselves; that I was fair game,” says Mrs Ngai. Two more brutal ra*pes resulted in two more children: another girl and a boy, Mr Nhat. Mrs Ngai has suffered a life of shame, secrecy and prejudice. For a lifetime, she has had to bear the shame for herself and for her three children. She is resolute that the South Korean government should apologise for the actions of its soldiers. “They came and fathered children, leaving them behind to suffer,” says Mrs Ngai. “They should apologise for what they did and for the decades of shame they placed over us. Me, my daughters, my son. Their childhoods taken from them. Where is their apology?

They were tried for overzealousness, for decisions and actions over and above the call of duty. They were the th*ugs, the brut*es, the mon*sters, the most horrible… Breen describes atrocities committed by Korean camp guards that represented indignities that no human being should suffer.

The article further notes that, “South Korea also spent decades lobbying Japan for a similar apology over the hundreds of thousands of South Korean women forced to work as World War Two sex slaves.” While the phrases “hundreds of thousands” and “sex slaves” are problematic, the BBC does throw light on the position of Korea, which has demanded apologies from Japan while feigning ignorance of its own problems.

Many of the Lai Dai Han were born as a result of 【sexual violence 】perpetrated by South Korean soldiers. JLDH represents the Lai Dai Han and their mothers, of which 800 are still alive today, who were allegedly violently 【sexually assaulted or ra*ped】 by South Korean soldiers.

For too long these victims of Korean sexual violence have been forgotten and cast aside by society. We hope that this sculpture will serve as a constant reminder of the【 horrors of ra*pe 】and war and will help to raise awareness of the Lai Dai Han and their struggle for justice.”

  916. One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  917. [Burma, Singapur'daki konfor istasyonlarında Koreli işçi tarafından yazılan günlük bulundu] Güney Kore'de bulunan burma'daki savaş genelevlerinde çalışan Koreli bir adam tarafından yazılan günlük. Seul-İkinci Dünya Savaşı sırasında Burma (şu anki Myanmar) ve Singapur'daki savaş genelevlerinde çalışan Koreli bir adam tarafından yazılan bir günlük, Japon imparatorluk ordusunun Japon askerleri için tartışmalı konfor istasyonlarındaki rolünün ardındaki gerçeğe ışık tutabilecek bir keşif bulundu. Koreli adam, 1942'de Kore Yarımadası'ndaki Busan Limanı'ndan ayrılan "4.konfor Kolordu" nda yer aldı. 1944'ün sonlarında eve döndü. Günlüğü, Japonya, Güney Kore ve diğer ülkelerde bulunan türünün ilk örneğidir. Savaş sırasında Japon İmparatorluk ordusu için sözde "konfor kadınları" konusunda, tanıklıkların çoğu savaşın bitiminden birkaç on yıl sonra yapıldı. Koreli adam tarafından yazılan günlük - aslında savaş genelevlerine tanık olan üçüncü bir kişi-dikenli konuyla ilgili soğukkanlı tartışmaların önünü açmak için önemli bir materyal. Günlük, modern Kore ekonomik tarihinde uzmanlaşmış ve konfor kadınları konusunda bilgili olan Seul Üniversitesi'nde profesör olan Ahn Byong Jik tarafından keşfedildi. Seul banliyölerinde bir müze, yaklaşık 10 yıl önce ikinci el bir kitapçıda bir günlük ve diğer materyalleri buldu. Ahn, malzemeleri tararken günlüğü buldu. Günlük, 1943'ten 1944'e kadar savaş genelevlerinde çalışırken Kore Yarımadası'nın batı kesiminde Kyongsang-namdo'dan bir adam tarafından yazılmıştır. Çince karakterler, katakana ve Kore alfabeleri ile yazılmıştır. Adam 1905'te doğdu ve 1979'da öldü. 1922'den 1957'ye kadar yazdığı günlüğü bugün görülebilir. Günlüğünde, adam 10 Temmuz 1943'te şöyle yazdı: "geçen yıl şu anda Busan İskelesi'nde bir gemiye bindim ve güneye giden yolculukta ilk adımı attım."6 Nisan 1944'te şöyle yazdı:" iki yıl önce bir konfor ekibi Busan'dan ayrıldığında, dördüncü konfor Kolordu Başkanı olarak gelen Bay Tsumura çalışıyordu (bir pazarda)." Kasım 1945'te burma'da yakalanan konfor istasyonlarının yöneticilerini sorgulayan ABD askerleri tarafından derlenen bir araştırma raporu, 703 konfor kadınının ve yaklaşık 90 iş operatörünün 10 Temmuz 1942'de Busan Limanı'ndan ayrıldığını söylüyor. Günlüğünün doğruluğu, ayrılış tarihinin aynı olması gerçeğiyle desteklenir. Ahn şöyle diyor: "ABD ordusu tarafından derlenen kayıtların dördüncü konfor kolordusu'na atıfta bulunduğu kesin. Ahn, Güney Kore'de genel olarak konfor kadınlarının Japon ordusu ve polisi tarafından zorla askere alındığı görüşünün aksine, "konfor kadınları Kore'deki iş operatörleri tarafından işe alındı ve ordunun onları kaçırmasına gerek yoktu." Günlüğünde, adam konfor istasyonları, konfor kadınları ve ordu arasındaki ilişkilere değindi. 19 Temmuz 1943'te şöyle yazdı: "uçan bir kolorduya ait iki konfor istasyonu lojistik Komutanlığına teslim edildi."29 Temmuz 1943'te şöyle yazdı:" evlilik ilişkilerine (kocalarıyla) sahip olmak için (konfor istasyonu) ayrılan Haruyo ve Hiroko'nun kinseikan'a tekrar konfor kadınları olarak geri döndüğünü duydum." Koreli adam da Ağustos ayında günlüğüne yazdı. 13 Aralık 1943'te, " konfor kadınları bir film izlemeye gitti ve demiryolu kolordusunun bir film yöneteceğini söyledi."Ekim ayında yazdı. 27 Aralık 1944'te, " rahat bir kadından 600 yen ödemesini istedim, bu yüzden depozitosunu geri çektim ve merkezi bir postaneden gönderdim.” Günlük yazarının kendisi iki yıl içinde 43.000 yen kazandı—bu süre zarfında ortalama aylık işçinin maaşının sadece 40 yen olduğunu düşündüğünde muazzam bir miktar. Yazar eve döndükten sonra bir meyve bahçesi yönetti ve ayrıca özel bir ilkokulun yönetim kurulunda görev yaptı.

  918. Have you watched Lee Yon-Soo’s lie? Check my saved video Lee Yong-soo filmed in 1992 is now found, in which she testified that she became Comfort Woman just because she followed a man who gave her a dress and shoes, NOT because she was tricked or abducted by force by Imperial Japanese Army. The footage filmed on Aug 15th, 1992 at KBS. That seems a little bit ironic that the announcer reconfirmed that she became Comfort Woman NOT because she was abd*ucted by force by Imperial Japanese Army, but she just followed a man by her own will. —— ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city.

  920. "Japonya'nın Kore'ye karşı işlediği iddia edilen suçlarla ilgili en sık tekrarlanan ve en çarpık efsanelerden biri, sözde “konfor kadınları" ile ilgilidir” Almanya Japonya doğru olmasa da “suçlarını telafi” olduğunu sonunda hakkındaki iddialar. Sadece bir yönü düşünmeme izin verin. 1965'te Kore hükümeti Park Chung-hee, iki ülke arasındaki ilişkileri normalleştiren Japonya ile bir anlaşma imzaladı. Antlaşma uyarınca Güney Kore, Japon egemenliğinin kurbanları için çok büyük miktarda ekonomik yardım, hibe, kredi ve önemli ölçüde tazminat aldı. (Japon hükümeti ulusal bütçenin 2,5 katını tazminat olarak ödedi, ancak Kore'de 40 yıl boyunca Japonya'ya karşı nefreti kışkırtmak için gizli tuttu ve Kore hükümeti gerçeği gizlemeye devam ediyor. Tüm bireysel iddialar 1965 Japonya-Güney Kore Antlaşması'nda çözülmesine rağmen, Japon hükümeti Koreli kadınlara birkaç kez iyi bir jest olarak tazminat teklif etti. Bununla birlikte, Japonya 1995 yılında Asya kadın Fonu aracılığıyla tazminat teklif ettiğinde(tazminat, Japonya Başbakanı'ndan kişisel bir özür mektubu ile geldi), Güney Koreli STK, eski konfor kadınlarını Japonya'nın özürünü ve tazminatını kabul etmemekle tehdit etti. STK'NIN emrine meydan okuyanların 61'i hain olarak doğrulandı, isimleri ve adresleri gazetelerde fahişe olarak yayınlandı ve hayatlarının geri kalanını utanç içinde yaşamak zorunda kaldılar. Sk hükümeti, 2015 yılında konfor kadınları konusunda Japonya-Kore anlaşması imzaladı ve Japon hükümeti eski Koreli konfor kadınlarına 1 milyar dolar para ödedi. Bununla birlikte, Kore Moon Jae In yönetimi, 2018'de herhangi bir bildirimde bulunmaksızın anlaşmayı etkili bir şekilde terk etti. Fesih duyurusu Japonya için tamamen kabul edilemez. Cumhurbaşkanı Moon Jae-in de dahil olmak üzere ROK Hükümeti, defalarca “anlaşmayı terk etmeyeceğini” ve “Japonya ile yeniden müzakere istemeyeceğini " belirtti,”) - O sırada Japon hükümeti bireysel kurbanları telafi etmeyi teklif etti, ancak Güney Kore hükümeti teklifi reddetti ve tüm parayı alması ve vatandaşlarını telafi etmesi konusunda ısrar etti. Bu paranın çok azı (kişi başına sadece 250 ABD doları) bireylere ödendi ve bunun yerine Güney Kore'nin ekonomik gelişimi için kullanıldı. Japon hükümeti, konfor kadın sistemi için özür diledi (aslında savaştan önce hem Kore hem de Japonya'da var olan ve çok sayıda Japon fahişenin yanı sıra diğer ülkelerden gelenleri de içeren lisanslı fuhuş sisteminin bir uzantısıydı), Almanya hiçbir zaman özür dilemedi veya eski fahişelere herhangi bir tazminat ödemedi. Aslında, hiç kimse böyle bir şey talep etmedi, çünkü işgal altındaki ülkelerde haklı ya da yanlış bir şekilde işbirlikçi olarak görülen bu kadınlar hiçbir zaman destekçi ya da savunucu bulamadılar” - Profesör Andrzej Kozlowski, Varşova Üniversitesi

  922.  @lucisventusnoctis  The U.S. military interrogated hundreds of Korean POWs that belonged to the Japanese Army. They frequented comfort stations, and the following was what they said about Korean comfort women. "All Korean prostutes that POWs have seen in the Pacific were volunteers or had been sold by their parents into prostution. This is proper in the Korean way of thinking, but direct conscription of women by the Japanese would be an outrage that the old and young alike would not tolerate. Men would rise up in a rage, kiling Japanese no matter what consequence they might suffer."

  923.  @lucisventusnoctis  A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen.

  924. "Cualquiera que ponga en el mismo plano el comportamiento de Japón durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y el de Alemania, y que comente desfavorablemente la respuesta de Japón en la posguerra a su derrota con la alemana es muy ignorante o necesita un serio reajuste de su brújula moral" Uno de los mitos más repetidos y distorsionados sobre los supuestos crímenes de Japón contra Corea, se refiere a las llamadas "mujeres de solaz". Por último, sobre las afirmaciones de que Alemania ha "expiado" adecuadamente sus crímenes mientras que el Japón no lo ha hecho. Permítanme considerar sólo un aspecto. En 1965 el gobierno coreano de Park Chung-hee firmó un tratado con Japón, normalizando las relaciones entre los dos países. En virtud del tratado, Corea del Sur recibió grandes cantidades de ayuda económica, subvenciones, préstamos y, significativamente, compensación para las víctimas del dominio japonés. (El gobierno japonés pagó 2,5 veces el presupuesto nacional como compensación pero lo mantuvo en secreto 40 años en Corea para incitar al odio hacia Japón y el gobierno de Corea sigue tratando de ocultar la verdad. Aunque todas las reclamaciones individuales se resolvieron en el Tratado Japón-Corea del Sur de 1965, el gobierno japonés todavía ofreció varias veces una compensación a las mujeres coreanas como un buen gesto. Sin embargo, cuando el Japón ofreció una indemnización a través del Fondo para las Mujeres Asiáticas en 1995 (la indemnización llegó con una carta personal de disculpa del Primer Ministro del Japón), la ONG surcoreana amenazó a las antiguas mujeres de solaz con no aceptar la disculpa del Japón y la indemnización. 61 de los que desafiaron la orden de la ONG fueron verificados como traidores, sus nombres y direcciones se publicaron en los periódicos como acusaciones, y tuvieron que vivir el resto de sus vidas en desgracia. El gobierno de Corea del Sur firmó un acuerdo entre Japón y Corea sobre el tema de las mujeres de solaz en 2015 y el gobierno japonés pagó 1.000 millones de dólares como dinero de expiación a las ex mujeres de solaz coreanas. Sin embargo, la administración de la coreana Moon Jae In abandonó el acuerdo en 2018 sin ningún aviso. El anuncio de la disolución es totalmente inaceptable para Japón. Mientras que el Gobierno de la República de Corea, incluyendo al Presidente Moon Jae-in, declaró repetidamente en público que "no abandonará el acuerdo" y "no pedirá una renegociación con Japón") - El gobierno japonés se ofreció en ese momento a indemnizar a las víctimas individuales, pero el gobierno de Corea del Sur rechazó la oferta e insistió en que debía recibir todo el dinero y compensar a sus ciudadanos. Muy poco de este dinero (sólo 250 dólares) se pagó a los individuos y en su lugar se utilizó para el desarrollo económico de Corea del Sur. El gobierno japonés se ha disculpado por su sistema de mujeres de solaz (que en realidad era una extensión del sistema de prostitución con licencia que existía tanto en Corea como en Japón antes de la guerra y que involucraba a un gran número de prostitutas japonesas así como de otros países), Alemania nunca se ha disculpado ni ha pagado ninguna compensación a ninguna ex prostituta. De hecho, nadie ha exigido nunca nada de eso, ya que esas mujeres, que con razón o sin ella fueron consideradas como colaboradoras en los países ocupados, nunca encontraron ningún apoyo o defensor". -Profesor Andrzej Kozlowski, Universidad de Varsovia

  925. Google list List of war apology statements issued by Japan —- -“Sca:mmers” and “Sca:mmers” fight Ms. Lee Yong-soo, a self-proclaimed former comfort woman, and Ms. Yoon Mi-hyang, the former representative of the Korean Council. It was widely reported that Ms. Yoon herself posted on her Facebook page that when Ms. Lee phoned Ms. Yoon for the first time, she said, "I am not a victim, but a friend of mine is." It is also well known that Ms. Lee's stories were often inconsistent. The infighting also caused the suspicion to come to light that the donation for the former comfort women has been misappropriated by Ms.Yoon and her relatives. The prosecution has already made a compulsory investigation into this matter. It appears that money became the main focus of the activities of this organization. Now all its lies and injustices, that had built up for a long time, are revealing themselves all at once. It is the same old story. The most concerning thing about this organization, however, is not just about the misappropriation of funds and the way in which they were obtained. Also deeply troubling is why this organization was established in the first instance and what its primary objective was. This organization has consistently hindered all efforts of the Japanese and South Korean governments to resolve the comfort women issue. At the establishment of the Asian Women's Fund in 1995, and at the Japan-South Korea agreement in 2015, this organization hindered former comfort women from receiving the settlement package and abused the ones who received it by calling them “prostitutes”. A professional organization would never do such a thing. There is no doubt that its intention was to interfere with the settlement between Japan and SK. “

  926. A Taiwanese eye witness commenting about the time when Taiwan was under the rule of Japan. "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a war crim*inal. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

It is a comprehensive report on the recruitment, voluntary, of European women for prostitution in the Dutch East Indies during the Japanese occupation in World War II. It also briefly touches upon recruitment of local women although that is not the focus of the study. There was nothing in the report to indicate a policy or practice of mass abd*uction of women, European or locals, as comfort women.”

  929. “During the war in China in the 1930s, the occurrence of venereal disease among the troops had led to problems with deployment and the Japanese military forces therefore decided to set up military brothels as a preventive measure. In addition to local women, Japanese and Korean women – Korea being part of the Japanese Empire – were recruited for the brothels in China.”

  930. “There’s no mass abdu*ction” ‪”Korean couple had lured European women to the establishment under false pretences.” “In practice, it was the local military commanders who had to draw up regulations on the establishment of military brothels in their territory. The chief of staff of the 16th army on Java and thus head of the military administration there decided that a license was required for the establishment of a military brothel. A license was issued only if certain conditions were met, relating to, for example, regular medical check-ups and payment. A further precondition was that the women working in the brothels had to do so voluntarily; according to the regulations, a license would only be issued if the women involved signed a statement to the effect that they were providing their service voluntarily.”

  932. Kim Bok-Dong said that she worked as a comfort woman for 8 years until 1948 but WW2 ended in 1945. -IJA didn’t exist after WW2. Japan participated the WW2 in 1939 -1945-1939=6 years In her speech, 9/18/2013 in France, She said that her human rights has been violated by IJA in “Korean war”. -There is no IJA during the Korean war. Her human rights has been likely violated by UN/US soldiers. 122 of Korean comfort women for the UN/US sued their government in 2014. While Korean comfort women who sued Japan were only 9 in 1991. It means the US had more sex slaves than Japan. — The relationship between the anti-Japanese activist group (the NGO Korean Council)and North Korea. ⚫︎Yun Mi-Hyang (Former Chairwoman) was investigated for working with North Korea in 2013. ✴︎September 14, 2020, She was indicted on eight charges including fraud, embezzlement and breach of trust.   ⚫︎Kim Sam-Suk (Yun Mi-Hyang's husband) was arrested as a North Korean spy in 1993. ⚫︎Kim Eun-Ju (Kim Sam-Suk's sister) was arrested as a North Korean spy in 1993. ⚫︎Choi Gi-Yong (Kim Eun-Ju's husband) was arrested as a North Korean spy in 2006. ⚫︎Lee Seok-Gi (member) was arrested as a North Korean spy in 2013. — an October 19, 1959 article from the South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo. It is entitled "66% of Comfort Women Infected--Results of a Nationwide Testing of Female Entertainers." The article talks about how nationwide 392,707 female entertainers, including 261,089 comfort women, were tested for venereal disease over a 1-year period. The article is evidence that in 1959 Korea was registering women to be "comfort women," which was a euphemism for "military pros**tute." Korea was registering women to be pros***utes for UN soldiers stationed in Korea. The 261,089 comfort woment mentioned in the article is evidence that Korea had a significant number of comfort women, of which 66.4% were infected with a veneral disease. In the 1990s South Koreans begin criticizing Japan for its comfort women system in World War II, but have hardly said anything about its own comfort women system, "If Koreans thoght the Japanese comfort women system was so bad, why did the Korean Government set up a similar 'comfort women' system for UN soldiers after the Japanese left Korea?"

  933. Many of Korean comfort women's fathers had debts from alcohol, gambling, etc. and sold their daughters without daughters' consent. The Korean comfort station owners took over their debts, and depending on the amount of the debt, each woman's contract length was determined. Korean women were not allowed to leave until their debts were paid off. Any coercion, violence or confinement was exercised by the Korean owners. So if one wants to use the term "sex slaves" to describe former Korean comfort women, they were the sex slaves of Korean comfort station owners. They were not the sex slaves of the Japanese military. The Japanese military's involvement was limited to conducting sexually transmitted disease checkups and providing transportation to comfort station owners and comfort women.

The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched.

Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abd*ucted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council. They are swi*ndlers"

Arkadaşlarımdan biri birçok mücevher topladı, bu yüzden gittim ve bir elmas aldım. Sık sık Japon filmlerini izlemeye gittim ve oyuncuların anakara Japonya'dan geldiği Kabuki oyunları. Rangoon'da popüler bir kadın oldum. Rangoon'da cephe hatlarından çok daha fazla subay vardı, bu yüzden birçok partiye davet edildim. Partilerde şarkı söyledim ve çok fazla ipucu aldım. Bir çift yüksek topuklu ayakkabı, yeşil bir ceket giydim ve timsah derisinden bir çanta taşıdım. Modaya uygun bir elbiseyle dolaştım. Kasabadaki hiç kimse benim rahat bir kadın olduğumu tahmin edemezdi. Çok mutlu ve gururlu hissettim. Eve dönmek için izin aldım ama Kore'ye dönmek istemedim. Rangoon'da kalmak istedim." Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e göre, mun Oku-chu savaştan sonra Kore'de fahişe olarak çalışmaya devam etti. Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. Koreli hankyoreh gazetesine verdiği röportajda (artcile 15 Mayıs 1991'de yayınlandı) eski bir Koreli konfor kadını kim hak-sun annesi tarafından satıldığını söyledi. 1993'te kim Hak-sun, Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e şunları söyledi: "annem beni Pyongyang'da bir Kiseng olarak eğitmeye gönderdi ve sonra beni sattı." Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. 1993'te eski bir Koreli konfor kadını kim gun-ja, Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e şunları söyledi: "üvey babam tarafından satıldım." Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. Kim Gun-ja ayrıca 2007 yılında Amerika Birleşik Devletleri Dışişleri Temsilciler Meclisi Komitesinde ifade verdi ve Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını söyledi. 1993'te eski bir Koreli konfor kadını Lee Yong-soo, Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e şunları söyledi: "o zamanlar perişan giyinmiş ve sefildim. Anneme söylemeden arkadaşım kim Pun-sun ile evden ayrıldığım gün, siyah bir etek, pamuklu bir gömlek ve ayaklarımın üzerinde tahta takunya giyiyordum. Koreli bir işverenden kırmızı bir elbise ve bir çift deri ayakkabı aldığımda ne kadar memnun olduğumu bilmiyorsun." Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. Lee Yong-soo da 2007 yılında Dışişleri Birleşik Devletleri ev Komitesi önünde ifade verdi. Konuşmak için beş dakikası olduğu söylendi. Talimatı görmezden geldi ve bir saatten fazla bir süre ağlama ve çığlık atma performansına devam etti. Onun yanlış ifadesi, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri Temsilciler Meclisi'nin 121 sayılı kararının kabulüne yol açtı. 2017 yılında Lee Yong-soo, San Francisco şehir Konseyi'nden önce yanlış ifadeler verdi ve bu da o şehirde bir konfor kadın heykelinin kurulmasıyla sonuçlandı. San Francisco Eyalet Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Chunghee Sarah Soh'a göre, eski bir Koreli konfor kadını Moon pil-ki, bir Koreli konfor istasyonu sahibinin ajanı tarafından işe alındı ve diğer dört kadınla birlikte mançurya'ya götürüldü. Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. 1993'te eski bir Koreli konfor kadını olan kil won-ok, Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e şunları söyledi: "ailem tarafından satıldım." Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. Birkaç tanığa göre, Kore Konseyi (kuzey yanlısı aktivist grup) kadınları "Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldım" demeleri için eğitti." Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik, " 1990'ların başında eski konfor kadınlarıyla röportaj yaptığımda, hiçbirinin Japon ordusu hakkında söyleyecek kötü bir şeyi yoktu. Onları satan ebeveynlerinden ve onlara kötü davranan Koreli konfor istasyonu sahiplerinden nefret ediyorlardı. Ancak Kore Konseyi onları maaşlarına koyduktan sonra, ifadeleri tamamen değişti." Koreli Konsey'in maaşına katılmayı reddeden eski Koreli kadın sim mi-ja şunları söyledi: "BM özel Raportöründen önce ifade veren Koreli kadınlar Kore Konseyi adına yalan söyledi. Dolandırıcılar bunlar "

  939. ⚫︎Diary The “Diary of Gordon Thomas” is another contemporary source on the subject. Thomas was the former editor of The Rabaul Times who spent three years in Rabaul (Papua New Guinea) operating an icehouse while Rabaul was under Japanese occupation. Comfort women often visited his icehouse and were not under guard. Mention is made of women from two different comfort stations fighting over customers.   The diary of a Korean who managed comfort stations in Burma and Singapore is also part of the record. Korean Professor Choe Kil Sung analyzed this diary. The following are extracts which clarify the status of comfort women:   When people think of a comfort station…quite a few…imagine a military camp or an army tent. And yet, it seems that, for the most part, the comfort stations were actually located in ordinary civilian buildings.   These comfort stations were also engaged in buying and selling, borrowing and loaning, and transfer of property.   Professor Choe concludes: “After I read the diary for the first time, I concluded definitely that the comfort stations were not military institutions, but rather similar to wartime brothels.”

  940. Kim Bok-Dong said that she worked as a comfort woman for 8 years until 1948 but WW2 ended in 1945. -IJA didn’t exist after WW2. Japan participated in the WW2 in 1939 -1945-1939=6 years In her speech, 9/18/2013 in France, She said that her human rights has been violated by IJA in “Korean war”. -There is no IJA during the Korean war. Her human rights has been likely violated by UN/US soldiers. 122 of Korean comfort women for the UN/US sued their government in 2014. While Korean comfort women who sued Japan were only 9 in 1991. It means the US had more sex slaves than Japan.

  942. She is lying “In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 2.5 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995(Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notice. The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  943. Numerous wartime documents define comfort women as pros**tutes. ⚫︎Allied Translator Records and Captured Japanese Documents Another primary source is found in the ATIS (Allied Translator/Interpreter Section) Research Report No. 120. It says, “Amenities of the Japanese Armed Forces,” dated November 15, 1945. Among them are the following: From a captured Japanese document, “Rules for Restaurants and Houses of Pros**tution,” dated February 1943: MANILA: “Persons receiving permission to open business [comfort station] will…submit…copy of personal histories of employees….” “Permission is necessary before anyone joins the establishment.” SHANGHAI SECTOR: “The pros**tutes will possess licenses….” “Unlicensed pros**tutes are strictly prohibited from plying their trade.” “The pros**tute and the operator will share equally the proceeds of the work done by the pros**tute.” “Tacloban Brothel Regulations,” undated: “Places called brothels in these regulations are special brothels operated with Filipino women (licensed pros**tutes).”

  944. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  945. Now-deceased comfort woman Mun Ok-chu saved up a staggering 26,000 yen in three years (at a time when a sergeant in the Japanese army made between 23 and 30 yen per month). Mun made more money in 1943 – a lot more – than the Japanese lieutenant-general commanding all Imperial land forces in Burma.

  955. The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women.

Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council.

  956. One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan.

  957. The US Report, of 20 Korean comfort girls: “Prisoner of War, his wife and sister-in-law had made some money as restaurant keepers in KEIJO [present-day Seoul], KOREA, but their trade declining, they looked for an opportunity to make more money and applied to Army Headquarters in KEIJO for permission to take ‘comfort girls’ from KOREA to BURMA….” “Prisoner of war purchased 22 Korean girls, paying their families from 300 to 1000 yen according to the personality, looks and age of the girl. These 22 girls were of ages from 19 to 31. They became the sole property of prisoner of war and the Army made no profits from them….” “Every ‘comfort girl’ was employed on the following contract conditions. She received fifty percent of her own gross takings and was provided with free passage, free food and free medical treatment. The passage and medical treatment were provided by the Army authorities, the food was purchased by the brothel owner with the assistance of the Army supply depots. The owners made other profits by selling clothing, necessities and luxuries to the girls at exorbitant charges. When a girl is able to repay the sum of money paid to her family, plus interest, she should be provided with a free return passage to KOREA, and then considered free….”

  958. Korea insists 200,000 Korean women were forcibly taken and ra:ped. According to Korea, almost all se:x slaves were massacred soon after the end of the war. The number of victims were far more than that of the nuclear bomb in Hiroshima. However, Korea can not find even one article in newspapers in those days or soon after the war on this massacre. The population pyramid does not show the sign too. An old soldier Yoshida Seiji published “My war crime” in Japan in 1983. The book says “I forcibly taken 200 women and ra:ped in Cheju island in Korea.” Japanese Newspaper Asahi interviewed him and reported on the book many times. Korean media gave promonent coverage of it. The book also published in Korea in 1989 and was dramatized for TV in 1991. The audience ratings were quite high. A old woman came forward to sue Japanese government for money, she is the first pros***ute in public. Supporting group was formed, the representaive of the group who arrested on fraud was mother-in-law of the Asahi reporter, Takashi Uemura. Korean local Newspaper, The Cheju verified the book in Cheju island and reported there was no woman that was forcibly taken and ra:ped by the Japanese army. The newspaper criticized Yoshida as “sha:meful businessman.” Yoshida said “ All book is biased by its author.” In the end, he conceded the book was a fiction. Korean Newspaper, the Chosun Ilbo that is the major newspapers in South Korea said in 5 Sep 2012 that “Only this book is enough to verify that Japanese army forcibly taken women and rap:ed.” Though in 2014 The Asahi canceled 18 articles and 495 columns for 14 years from 1980. Li:es about Japan are not corrected in Korea.

J'ai économisé une somme d'argent considérable grâce aux pourboires, alors j'ai ouvert un compte d'épargne. Je n'arrivais pas à croire que je pouvais avoir autant d'argent sur mon compte d'épargne. Une de mes amies collectionnait de nombreux bijoux, alors je suis allée acheter un diamant. Je suis souvent allée voir des films japonais et des pièces de Kabuki dont les acteurs venaient du Japon continental. Je suis devenue une femme populaire à Rangoon. Il y avait beaucoup plus d'officiers à Rangoon que près des lignes de front, alors j'étais invitée à de nombreuses fêtes. Je chantais des chansons lors des fêtes et recevais beaucoup de pourboires. Je portais une paire de talons hauts, un manteau vert et un sac à main en cuir d'alligator. Je me baladais dans une robe à la mode. Personne en ville ne pouvait deviner que j'étais une femme de confort. Je me sentais très heureuse et fière. J'ai reçu la permission de rentrer chez moi, mais je ne voulais pas retourner en Corée. Je voulais rester à Rangoon." Selon le professeur Ahn Byong Jik de l'université de Séoul, Mun Oku-chu a continué à travailler comme prostituée en Corée après la guerre.

Elle n'a pas tenu compte de cette instruction et a continué pendant plus d'une heure à pleurer et à crier. Son faux témoignage a entraîné l'adoption de la résolution 121 de la Chambre des représentants des États-Unis. En 2017, Lee Yong-soo a fait de faux témoignages devant le conseil municipal de San Francisco, ce qui a entraîné l'érection d'une statue de femmes de réconfort dans cette ville. ⚫︎ Selon le professeur Chunghee Sarah Soh de l'université d'État de San Francisco, une ancienne femme de réconfort coréenne, Moon Pil-ki, a été recrutée par l'agent d'un propriétaire de poste de réconfort coréen et emmenée en Mandchourie avec quatre autres femmes. Pourtant, elle a témoigné devant la rapporteuse spéciale de l'ONU Radhika Coomaraswamy qu'elle avait été enlevée par l'armée japonaise. ⚫︎ En 1993, une ancienne femme de réconfort coréenne, Kil Won-ok, a déclaré au professeur Ahn Byong Jik de l'université de Séoul : "J'ai été vendue par mes parents."

Le professeur Ahn Byong Jik de l'université de Séoul déclare : "Lorsque j'ai interrogé d'anciennes femmes de réconfort au début des années 1990, aucune d'entre elles n'avait de mauvaises choses à dire sur l'armée japonaise. Elles détestaient leurs parents qui les avaient vendues et les propriétaires de postes de réconfort coréens qui les avaient maltraitées. Mais après que le Conseil coréen les a mises dans ses rangs, leurs témoignages avaient complètement changé." ⚫︎ Une ancienne femme de réconfort coréenne, Sim Mi-ja, qui a refusé de faire partie du personnel du Conseil coréen, a déclaré : "Les femmes coréennes, qui ont témoigné devant le rapporteur spécial des Nations unies, ont menti au nom du Conseil coréen.

  961. Kim said she has never received an apology from Japan, which is a flat-out lie. The truth is that comfort women's organization “Korean council” embezzle donations, force comfort women to lie, obstruct reconciliation with Japan, so that they can continue the comfort women propaganda. Japan has apologized many times and paid huge amounts of atonement money to the Korean women, but the Korean government has not given it to the women. *Japan-South Korea Treaty of 1965 During treaty negotiations, the Japanese government asked the S Korean government to identify and separate individual claims from the treaty because the Japanese government wanted to make sure the survivors received compensation. The South Korean government declined and accepted the entire sum of 800 million dollars (over ten billion dollars in today's money) in place of its citizens and spent all of it on infrastructures. Therefore it is not reasonable for the South Korean government to keep asking for additional compensation from Japan. And their claim that they were forced into pros**tution is also a lie. A Korean professor interviewed the Korean women in 2003. After the interview professor commented: “I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean spi*es) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.”

  963. The SK government and the Korean council will import fake comfort women from China if the comfort women pass away. [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

  964. 【"Korean council" imports 6 unidentified fake comfort women from China】 In 2004, 12 former comfort women, including Simmija, claimed that the "Korean council" and House of Nanumu had imported six comfort women from China at great expense and brought them to the Wednesday meeting as be_ ggars. The former comfort women also said, "When we applied for Japan's Asian Women's Fund in 1998, we were fiercely opposed by the Korean council and the others.” They were unable to withstand threats of “Do not to receive the money from Japan”, and a significant number of them did not receive it. Seven of the applicants who received money claimed that they had been told that if they received money from Japan they were “volunteered pros**tutes” and that this had left them traumatised. At the time, Ms. Shim wanted to receive an apology and support from Japan when she was still alive, so she received the Asian Women's Fund. It has been reported that some of the comfort women were kicked out of the "House of Nanum" when they refused to attend media and demonstration sites. The comfort women claimed that the activities of the Korean council, such as the Wednesday demonstration, were "unhelpful to the diplomatic relations between Korea and Japan".

Referred to as “Yankee Princesses” or “Western Princesses,” women who worked in these districts were lectured to by Korean university professors, who lauded them for helping to accrue “precious foreign currency for the nation’s economic development” and for performing “patriotic” work

A judge cancelled the warrant for lack of evidence and closed the case. Nevertheless, an American sergeant told Time magazine, in words chillingly similar to the Korean comfort women stories, that the Russian and Filipina women in the Dongducheon bars “are here because they’ve been tricked. They’re told they’re going to be bartending or waitressing, but once they get here, things are different.” In 2005 a former Filipina bar worker was awarded $5,000 from a SK nightclub owner who forced her to have se:x with U.S. soldiers for money, and a club owner was convicted of illegal brothel-keeping

A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women.

  974. SK records refer to the women as “fifth category supplies” – an addition to the four normal supply categories, reminiscent of the Japanese classification of women as “military supplies.” . . . The similarities in the pattern of operations include soldiers lining up in front of the tents, the women being classified according to the ranks of the men they served, and a hierarchical order of access to their se:xual services. —— -U.S. Soldiers and South Korea’s “Western Princesses When President Park Chung-hee seized power through a military coup in 1961, he initiated a “social purification drive” that included a “pros***ution prevention law.” However, rather than eliminate prostitution, Park instead created 104 special pros**+ution districts, being desperate to retain the cash that American soldiers would otherwise spend in Japan.Referred to as “Yankee Princesses” or “Western Princesses,” women who worked in these districts were lectured to by Korean university professors, who lauded them for helping to accrue “precious foreign currency for the nation’s economic development” and for performing “patriotic” work

  975. Reports of international organizations are based on the testimony of comfort women and that of Seiji Yoshida, documents of the Japanese military, and the Kono Statement. The Japanese government only released the Kono Statement because it was pressured by the circumstances where almost everyone believed there existed testimonies of victims and perpetrators, and military documents proving them. However, since 1993, it has been proven that the military documents were in fact irrelevant to the claim of forced recruitment. No additional documents have been found. Furthermore, as Seiji Yoshida’s My War Crimes: The Forced Removal of Koreans turned out to be a work of fiction, the Asahi newspaper had to retract their previous reports based on Yoshida’s statements, which was quite disconcerting given its reputation as the largest circulating newspaper in Japan. So, although it might seem there is an abundant amount of evidence, the reality is that every evidence was already refuted, and the only piece of evidence that remains today is the testimony of comfort women.

  976. Testimonies of comfort women in the early 1990s, when they first came forward, had nothing to do with forced recruitment. At the time, they testified that they became comfort women through the employment fraud of Koreans, or through se*x traff* cking carried out by their parents. But when the comfort women issue became a social, political problem as well as a diplomatic problem between South Korea and Japan, they started to change their words. They began to claim that they were “forcibly recruited.” Their testimony became politically contaminated.

  977. Let’s take a look at an example. Yong-soo Lee, a former comfort woman who is treated like a national hero in South Korea and who seems to think of herself as an independence activist, appeared on KBS TV on August 15, 1992. When the program host asked her how she became a comfort woman, she answered as follows: “I was 16. I had no clothes, no food. Then someone gave me a dress and a pair of shoes, telling me to come with him. So I followed him, excited, without thinking about anything else.”

  981. The BBC report in effect calls attention to SK’s double standard. The SK government has repeatedly brought up the issue of the so-called “comfort women” of the Imperial Japanese Army, even within meetings of the United Nations, but has never apologized for the actions of its own soldiers in Vietnam.  The administration of SK’s president effectively abandoned the Japan-SK agreement on the comfort women issue. The article further notes that, “SK also spent decades lobbying Japan for a similar apology over the hundreds of thousands of SK women forced to work as World War Two se x sla ves.” While the phrases “hundreds of thousands” and “se x slaves” are problematic, the BBC does throw light on the position of SK, which has demanded apologies and compensation from Japan while feigning ignorance of its own problems.

  985. A Taiwanese eye witness commenting about the time when Taiwan was under the rule of Japan. "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a war crim*inal. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

  986. One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 2.5 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995(Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notice. The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”)

  987. The Japanese government at that time offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

The “Victims” testimonies are inconsistent and not trustworthy — ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abd*ucted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council. They are swi*ndlers"

  991. Korea insists 200,000 Korean women were kid.napped and ra.ped. According to Korea, almost all sex slaves were kil.led or com.mitted sui.cide soon after the end of the war. The number of victims were far more than that of the nuclear bomb in Hiroshima. However, Korea can not find even one article in newspapers in those days or soon after the war on this massacre. The population pyramid does not show the sign too. An old soldier Yoshida Seiji published “My war crime” in Japan in 1983. The book says “I ab.ducted 200 women and ra.ped in Cheju island in Korea.” Japanese Newspaper Asahi interviewed him and reported on the book many times. Korean media gave promonent coverage of it. The book also published in Korea in 1989 and was dramatized for TV in 1991. The audience ratings were quite high. A old woman came forward to sue Japanese government for money, she is the first pros**tute in public. Supporting group was formed, the representaive of the group who arrested on fraud was mother-in-law of the Asahi reporter, Takashi Uemura. Korean local Newspaper, The Cheju verified the book in Cheju island and reported there was no woman that was ab.ducted and ra.ped by the Japanese army. The newspaper criticized Yoshida as “sha.meful businessman.” Yoshida said “ All book is biased by its author.” In the end, he conceded the book was a fiction before his death. But Korean Newspaper, the Chosun Ilbo that is the major newspapers in South Korea said in 5 Sep 2012 that “Only this book is enough to verify that Japanese army kid.napped women and ra.ped.” Though in 2014 The Asahi canceled 18 articles and 495 columns for 14 years from 1980.

  992. 1959 Oct 19 Donga Ilbo - "66% of Comfort Women Infected" October 19, 1959 ab article from the South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo. It is entitled "66% of Comfort Women Infected--Results of a Nationwide Testing of Female Entertainers." The article talks about how nationwide 392,707 female entertainers, including 261,089 comfort women, were tested for venereal disease over a 1-year period. The article is evidence that in 1959 Korea was registering women to be "comfort women," which was a euphemism for "military prostitute." Korea was registering women to be prostitutes for UN soldiers stationed in Korea. The 261,089 comfort woment mentioned in the article is evidence that Korea had a significant number of comfort women, of which 66.4% were infected with a veneral disease. In the 1990s South Koreans begin criticizing Japan for its comfort women system in World War II, but have hardly said anything about its own comfort women system "If Koreans thoght the Japanese comfort women system was so bad, why did the Korean Government set up a similar 'comfort women' system for UN soldiers after the Japanese left Korea?"

  993. 1953 Jul 21 - "Country Girls Lured into Pros**tution" This July 7, 1953 article from the South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo describes a typical means by which innocent Korean girls were lured into prost**ution. That is, they are promised a good job, put into debt, and then forced to pay back the debt by working as pros**tutes. “When I was in South Korea in the navy in the late 1970s, the typical method was to put ads promising high-paying waitress jobs in cheap magazines. When girls showed up, they were given a furnished apartment to put them in high-interest debt, which their waitress salaries would never be able to pay off, which forced them into pros**tution. At that time a person could not walk away from debt or declare personal bankruptcy.” Here is translation of the article. Country Girls Lured into Pros**tution Go Ok-i (高玉伊), a 53-year-old woman who lives at No. 83 on 3rd Street in the Cho Ryang-dong area of Hanmok City, was operating a comfort woman business for UN servicemen until she suspended operations because of financial difficulties. Then on the 3rd of this month, with the intention of reopenning her business, Ms. Go had her maid, Im Mi-ja (林미子), lure five virgins, including 15-year-old Gang Pil-yeon (姜必連) of Jinju City (at No. 888 in Tongbong-dong), to Busan with promises of getting them jobs in the 34th Military Hospital. Telling the girls that they would need to wear "high-class" clothes if they expected to be hired, Ms. Go gave each of the six girls an advance of 5,000 hwan worth of high-class clothing with the idea of putting them to work as comfort women. However, she was detected by police authorities prior to that, and on the 7th, Ms. Go and Ms. Im were undergoing intense questioning at the Investigation Section of the Busan Police Department.

  994. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

  995. The US government spent 7 years and 30 million dollars to look into Nazi and Japanese war crimes.After 7 years of research, there was no evidence of the forced prostitution of comfort women, the Nanjing Massacre, or Unit 731. Dutch government officially announced that “Dutch government regards the Comfort system primarily as pros**tution.” -Dutch government 1994 “The issue of the army brothels was investigated by the American authorities. Declassified documents show that the conclusion was that in most cases they employed paid pros**tutes. Again, there was no sex slave conspiracy uncovered.” -Israel Friendship association

  996. A Taiwanese eye witness commenting about the time when Taiwan was under the rule of Japan. "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a criminal. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

  997. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  998. The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abd*ucted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council. They are swi*ndlers"

  999. The US government, under the Clinton and Bush administrations, spent 7 years and 30 million dollars to look into Nazi and Japanese war crimes. After 7 years of research, they found no evidence of the forced prostitution of comfort women, the Nanjing Massacre. “Final Report to the US Congress on Nazi War Crimes & Japanese Imperial Government Records” authored by the Interagency Working Group (IWG).” The report was published in the spring of 2007. Out of millions of pages of newly declassified material, much of it related to Japan, and they were unable to find evidence of forced prost*tution. They also looked for information about the Nanjing Massacre and unit 731, but found no smoking guns.

  1000.  @vivii__  One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  1002.  @claudel1027  [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school. —-

  1004. A simple search will quickly reveal whether my comments are false or not. According to a SK professor who actually experienced the Japanese rule, 90% of SK history is distorted. The reason why Taiwan and Palau, which experienced the Japanese era, are pro-Japanese is because they have not been brainwashed with false history like SK. SK claims to have apologised to Vietnam but in reality the government has made so many excuses and ignored the Vietnamese victims so the victims have asked the UN to investigate SK's atr_ocities. It is a double standard and a cowardly thing to keep moving the goalposts and repeatedly asking Japan for a genuine apology, while they themselves, instead of showing any remorse, glorify war crimes and never make a official apology to the Vietnamese victims.

  1005. Dutch government officially announced that “Dutch government regards the Comfort women system primarily as pros**tution.” 1994 — The Bart von Poelgeest Report “The study by Dr. Poelgeest, then an officer of the Ministry of Interior of the Netherlands, was commissioned by the Dutch government in 1993. It is a comprehensive report on the recruitment, voluntary, of European women for pros**tution in the Dutch East Indies during the Japanese occupation in World War II. It also briefly touches upon recruitment of local women although that is not the focus of the study. There was nothing in the report to indicate a policy or practice of mass abd_uction of women, European or locals, as comfort women.” “During the war in China in the 1930s, the occurrence of venereal disease among the troops had led to problems with deployment and the Japanese military forces therefore decided to set up military brothels as a preventive measure. In addition to local women, Japanese and Korean women – Korea being part of the Japanese Empire – were recruited for the brothels in China.” “There’s no mass abdu_ction” ‪”Korean couple had lured European women to the establishment under false pretences.” “In practice, it was the local military commanders who had to draw up regulations on the establishment of military brothels in their territory. The chief of staff of the 16th army on Java and thus head of the military administration there decided that a license was required for the establishment of a military brothel. A license was issued only if certain conditions were met, relating to, for example, regular medical check-ups and payment. A further precondition was that the women working in the brothels had to do so voluntarily; according to the regulations, a license would only be issued if the women involved signed a statement to the effect that they were providing their service voluntarily.”

  1006. The Japanese government was rather busy arresting Korean traffi_ ckers for kid_napping Japanese and Korean women. Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo on August 31, 1939. It says, "About 100 Korean women were abd_ucted by Korean comfort station owners' agents but were rescued by Japanese policemen." There are dozens of reports like this. ⚫︎ East Asia Daily, December 4, 1938. Korean,田 斗漢 58, was arrested for kid_napping Japanese girls Sadako Shimomura, 19, and Shizuka Sugawara, 17, trying to sell to Manchurian pros_ titute.

  1007. The Japanese military sent notices to comfort station operators prohibiting them to recruit women against their will. The Japanese comfort station operators followed the order and only recruited willing women in Japan, but the Korean operators didn't follow the order and recruited both willing prosti_tutes and unwilling women in Korea. If the Korean operators had followed the order, there wouldn't have been any comfort women issue.

  1009. 한국의 역사 인식은 처참하기 그지 없는 상황입니다. 얼마 전 하버드 로스쿨 교수가 위안부는 매춘부이며, 일본 정부에 의해 납치된 사람들이 아니라는 주장을 담은 논문을 발표했습니다.  이에 대한 한국 사회의 반응은 참담한 수준이더군요. 기사만 봐도 그 교수가 어렸을 때 일본에 살았다는 점을 부각시키고, 일본에서 훈장을 받았다는 사실만이 나왔을 뿐입니다. 이건 그냥 우물에 독을 뿌리는 원천봉쇄의 오류일 뿐이죠. 그 교수는 친일파라고만 우기면 끝인가요?  이건 나치가 아인슈타인의 상대성이론을 가지고 유대인의 물리학이라고 비난한 거랑 다를 게 없죠. 객관적이고 제 3자가 봐도 설득력이 있는 주장이 아닙니다. 그리고 위안부 문제에 대해 그렇게 열을 올리고 일본에게 저주를 퍼부으면서 정작 우리나라가 운영했던 국군 위안부와 양공주에 대해서는 입도 뻥끗 안 하고 있죠.  이런 이중적인 태도로 일본을 비난하는 건 단순히 반일감정을 대중선동의 도구로 이용할 뿐, 실제로 피해자들에 대한 사죄와 반성의 의미가 아니라는 거죠. 일본의 2차대전의 전쟁범죄에 대해 난리난리를 치면서 고압적인 태도로 일관하지만, 실제로 한국은 전후 추축국의 부역국으로 분류됐고, 일본의 전쟁범죄에 한국인들도 가담했습니다. 이를 징병으로 인해 어쩔 수 없었다라고 우겨봤자 이미 자원병 제도와 자원입대 경쟁률 때문에 안 먹혀요. 한국이 일본에게 2차대전 전쟁범죄로 난리치는 건 오스트리아나 헝가리가 독일에게 전쟁범죄에 대해 따지는 거랑 다를 게 없는 거죠.  이런 사실도 모르고 무슨 일본 사람들한테 사죄하라고 난리치는 거 보면 너무 부끄럽더군요. 아울러 일본을 무슨 불구대천의 원수로 여기는데, 실상 한국인들을 가장 많이 죽인 사람들은 일본이 아니라 중국과 북한이에요. 하지만 일본에는 그렇게 악랄한 욕을 퍼부으면서 중국과 북한에는 한없이 너그럽더군요. 이해가 가나요? 저는 전혀 이해가 안 가는데요.

  1010.  @shaiikoisbetter9152  You don’t have any single evidence other than false testimonies

  1011. Accusers say there is plenty of evidence for their "conviction", including the "testimonies" of former comfort women, the "confessions" of "perpetrator" Seiji Yoshida, the Japanese military documents ordering "forceful take away" discovered by Yoshiaki Yoshimi in 1992, the "apology"-laden Kono Statement released by the Japanese government in 1993, and the Kumaraswamy Report released by the UN Human Rights Committee in 1996. The Kumaraswamy Report published by the UN Human Rights Committee in 1996, and the findings of various studies published by NGOs such as Amnesty International and the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ). However, of the "evidence" on which these "convictions" were based, only the "testimonies" of former comfort women are still alive and well. All other evidence is either fictional or based on this "testimony". All of the international reports relied on the testimony of the former comfort women and Seiji Yoshida, Japanese military documents, and the Kono Statement. The Kono statement was produced by a cornered Japanese government in a situation where many people were convinced that there were testimonies from victims and perpetrators, and that there were Japanese military documents that objectively proved this. However, it has since been established that the Japanese military documents had nothing to do with the "forceful taken away" and no other documents have been found. It also became clear that Seiji Yoshida's "confession" was a fabricated . The Asahi Shimbun, which had reported intensively on Yoshida in Japan, canceled those reports. At first glance, the evidence is piled up like a mountain, but in fact only the testimonies of former comfort women remain. So, can we believe the former comfort women when they say that they were forcibly taken to Japan? Their testimonies in the early 1990s, when they came out, had nothing to do with "forceful taken away". They testified that they had been sca_mmed by Koreans to find jobs or sold by their parents to become comfort women. However, as the comfort women issue became a social and political issue in SK and a diplomatic issue between SK and Japan, she changed her words and said that she was "forcefully taken away". The "testimonies" have been politically tainted. Let me give you an example of this. 　On August 15, 1992, Lee Yong-soo, a former comfort woman who is now treated like an elder statesman and acts as if she were an independence activist, appeared on a KBS program. When the TV host asked her how she became a comfort woman, she replied: "I was 16 years old at the time and so poor that I didn't have enough clothes to wear. Someone brought me a dress and a pair of shoes. I was so happy to receive them that I went along without knowing anything.

  1012. Accusers say there is plenty of evidence for their "conviction", including the "testimonies" of former comfort women, the "confessions" of "perpetrator" Seiji Yoshida, the Japanese military documents ordering "forceful take away" discovered by Yoshiaki Yoshimi in 1992, the "apology"-laden Kono Statement released by the Japanese government in 1993, and the Kumaraswamy Report released by the UN Human Rights Committee in 1996. The Kumaraswamy Report published by the UN Human Rights Committee in 1996, and the findings of various studies published by NGOs such as Amnesty International and the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ). However, of the "evidence" on which these "convictions" were based, only the "testimonies" of former comfort women are still alive and well. All other evidence is either fictional or based on this "testimony". All of the international reports relied on the testimony of the former comfort women and Seiji Yoshida, Japanese military documents, and the Kono Statement. The Kono statement was produced by a cornered Japanese government in a situation where many people were convinced that there were testimonies from victims and perpetrators, and that there were Japanese military documents that objectively proved this. However, it has since been established that the Japanese military documents had nothing to do with the "forceful taken away" and no other documents have been found. It also became clear that Seiji Yoshida's "confession" was a fabricated . The Asahi Shimbun, which had reported intensively on Yoshida in Japan, canceled those reports. At first glance, the evidence is piled up like a mountain, but in fact only the testimonies of former comfort women remain. So, can we believe the former comfort women when they say that they were forcibly taken to Japan? Their testimonies in the early 1990s, when they came out, had nothing to do with "forceful taken away". They testified that they had been sca_mmed by Koreans to find jobs or sold by their parents to become comfort women. However, as the comfort women issue became a social and political issue in SK and a diplomatic issue between SK and Japan, she changed her words and said that she was "forcefully taken away". The "testimonies" have been politically tainted. Let me give you an example of this. 　On August 15, 1992, Lee Yong-soo, a former comfort woman who is now treated like an elder statesman and acts as if she were an independence activist, appeared on a KBS program.

  1020. Dutch government officially announced that “Dutch government regards the Comfort women system primarily as pros**tution.” 1994 — The Bart von Poelgeest Report “The study by Dr. Poelgeest, then an officer of the Ministry of Interior of the Netherlands, was commissioned by the Dutch government in 1993. It is a comprehensive report on the recruitment, voluntary, of European women for pros**tution in the Dutch East Indies during the Japanese occupation in World War II. It also briefly touches upon recruitment of local women although that is not the focus of the study. There was nothing in the report to indicate a policy or practice of mass abd_uction of women, European or locals, as comfort women.” “During the war in China in the 1930s, the occurrence of venereal disease among the troops had led to problems with deployment and the Japanese military forces therefore decided to set up military brothels as a preventive measure. In addition to local women, Japanese and Korean women – Korea being part of the Japanese Empire – were recruited for the brothels in China.” “There’s no mass abdu_ction” ‪”Korean couple had lured European women to the establishment under false pretences.” “In practice, it was the local military commanders who had to draw up regulations on the establishment of military brothels in their territory. The chief of staff of the 16th army on Java and thus head of the military administration there decided that a license was required for the establishment of a military brothel. A license was issued only if certain conditions were met, relating to, for example, regular medical check-ups and payment. A further precondition was that the women working in the brothels had to do so voluntarily; according to the regulations, a license would only be issued if the women involved signed a statement to the effect that they were providing their service voluntarily.”

  1024. Throughout the Vietnam war, SK soldiers violently, systematically ra_ped and se_xually assaulted thousands of young women, some as young as 13 and 14 years of age. Many of these women bore children as a result of these assaults. Today, between 5,000 and 30,000 children of mixed Korean-Vietnamese ancestry, called the “Lai Dai Han,” live at the margins of Vietnamese society. Ms.Tuyet (Vietnamese) was 14 years old when she was ra_ped by a Korean soldier. Her family owned a coffee shop near Korean military base, and she was ra_ped while her mother was out for shopping. After that, both she and her mother were raped and impregnated by SK soldiers. After her mother died of illness in 1975, Ms.Tuyet worked hard to raise not only her own children, but also her mother's “Lai Dai Han” son. “My life has been a series of hardships," she said, calling on the South Korean government to apologize to her mother and herself. On October 19, 2015, the Voice of Vietnam, an American NGO that supports her, delivered a demand for an apology signed by 29,000 people to the South Korean Embassy in Washington, DC. But it has remained ignored. Moreover, in a speech to the UN Human Rights Council, South Korean Foreign Minister announced his intention to hold an international conference on sexual violence against women in conflict zones, led by the South Korean government, in order to pass on the comfort women issue to the next generation. In other words, S Korea declared that it would continue to slander the Japanese people with fabricated stories while ignoring the real victims who were ra_ped by Korean soldiers.

  1025. Comfort women were wartime licensed pros**tute and many of them were Japanese. Japanese government apologized and paid huge amounts of compensation to the former pros**tutes. On the other hand, SK government has never apologized even deny its wrongdoing in Vietnam. 【Who are the Lai Dai Han?】 The “Lai Dai Han” are the tens of thousands of children of Vietnamese women ra*ped by South Korean soldiers during the Vietnam War. Between 1964 and 1973, some 320,000 South Korean soldiers were deployed to Vietnam to fight alongside the United States. Some of the women that were ra*ped or experienced sex*ual violence were as young as 【12 or 13 】at the time, and more than 800 victims are still alive. Today, as a result of the ra*pe and sexual violence that took place, tens of thousands of young adults of mixed Vietnamese-Korean heritage live in the shadows of Vietnamese society. Many of the Lai Dai Han and their families live in severe poverty, cannot read or write and do not have access to social services, such as healthcare and education. The Government of South Korea has never recognised the se*xual violence that took place and has never apologised for the crimes of its soldiers.

"All Korean pros*tutes that POWs have seen in the Pacific were volunteers or had been sold by their parents into prost**ution. This is proper in the Korean way of thinking, but direct conscription of women by the Japanese would be an outrage that the old and young alike would not tolerate. Men would rise up in a rage, k_ling Japanese no matter what consequence they might suffer."

  1036. The US report concluded: “A ‘comfort girl’ is nothing more than a prosti**tute or ‘professional camp follower’ attached to the Japanese Army for the benefit of the soldiers.”

  1037. “LIVING AND WORKING CONDITIONS: In Myitkyina, the girls were usually quartered in a large two-story house (usually a school building) with a separate room for each girl. There each girl lived, slept, and transacted business. In Myitkyina their food was prepared by and purchased from the ‘house master’ as they received no regular ration from the Japanese Army. They lived in near-luxury in Burma in comparison to other places. This was especially true of their second year in Burma. They lived well because their food and material was not heavily rationed and they had plenty of money with which to purchase desired articles. They were able to buy cloth, shoes, cigarettes, and cosmetics to supplement the many gifts given to them by soldiers who had received ‘comfort bags’ [a bag filled with miscellaneous goods from the home front] from home.” “While in Burma they amused themselves by participating in sports events with both officers and men; and attended picnics, entertainments, and social dinners. They had a phonograph; and in the towns they were allowed to go shopping.”

  1038. “PRICE SYSTEM: The conditions under which they transacted business were regulated by the Army, and in congested areas regulations were strictly enforced. The Army found it necessary in congested areas to install a system of prices, priorities, and schedules for the various units operating in a particular area.”
    1
  1039. “SCHEDULES: The soldiers often complained about congestion in the houses. On many occasions they were not served and had to leave as the army was very strict about overstaying leave. In order to overcome this problem the Army set aside certain days for certain units. Usually two men from the unit for the day were stationed at the house to identify soldiers. A roving MP was also on hand to keep order. Following is the schedule used by....” “Soldiers would come to the house, pay the price and get tickets of cardboard about two inches square with price on the left side and the name of the house on the other side. Each soldier’s identity or rank was then established after which he ‘took his turn in line’. The girls were allowed the prerogative of refusing a customer. This was often done if the person were too drunk.”
    1
  1040. “PAY AND LIVING CONDITIONS: The ‘house master’ received fifty to sixty per cent of the girls’ gross earning depending on how much of a debt each girl had incurred when she signed her contract. This meant that in an average month a girl would gross about fifteen hundred yen. She turned over seven hundred and fifty to the ‘master.’ Many ‘masters’ made life very difficult for the girls by charging them high prices for food and other articles. In the latter part of 1943 the Army issued orders that certain girls who had paid their debt could return home. Some of the girls were thus allowed to return to Korea.” “The interrogations further show that the health of these girls was good. They were well supplied with all types of contraceptives, and often soldiers would bring their own which had been supplied by the army. They were well trained in looking after both themselves and customers in the matter of hygiene.”

PW insisted that the Army did not run brothels but merely supervised those run by civilians under an arrangement whereby supervision began with the war and ended immediately after cessation of hostilities. In no case were natives enslaved or restricted in any way. He had not read the Rescript of MEIJI [Emperor Meiji] regarding treatment of prisoners of war and natives, but thought it was being followed.”

  1060. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  1062. An article in Korean newspaper Kyunghyang Shinmun on June 6, 1977. It says that a Korean comfort station owner traffi/cked dozens of Korean comfort women to Asia to provide sex to Japanese/Korean soldiers there during World War II. It was common knowledge in Korea until the 1970s that Korean comfort station owners recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations, and no Koreans opposed that concept. Then Japanese newspaper published a series of fabricated articles in the 1980's falsely accusing Japanese military of coercing Korean comfort women. Korean communists with close ties to NK thought this was a great opportunity to defame Japan and block reconciliation between Japan and Korea. So they formed the anti-Japan lobby group in 1990 and began spreading comfort women’s false testimonies worldwide. Their tactic was to use the case of a small number of Dutch indonesia women who were coerced by lower ranked Japanese soldiers and make it look like the same thing happened to tens of thousands of Korean women. Since they had no evidence, they coached Korean women to testify falsely.

Japan participated in the WW2 in 1939 -1945-1939=6 years In her speech, 9/18/2013 in France, She said that her human rights was violated by IJA in “Korean war”. -There is no IJA during the Korean war. Her human rights was likely violated by UN/US soldiers. 122 former Korean comfort women served for the UN/US soldiers sued their government in 2014. While Korean comfort women who sued Japan were only 9 in 1991. It means the US had more sex slaves than Japan.

  1065. -Comments from S korean North Korea(NK) has worked on implanting groups of people in South Korea(SK) to spread juche ideology last 70 years. There are a lot of pro-NK people in universities, government,army, schools, media and congress. They brainwashed people to inject pro-NK ideas to people in the society and have been successful. Now they approach the end game. Next year there will be the congressional election in SK (2020). If the current pro-NK ruling jusapa wins the election, they will start confederation with NK no matter what South Koreans want it or not. World should notice that the current S K government is composed of jusapa who studied NK Juche ideology when they were college students. NK spies cultivated them. Their activity was suppressed hardly by SK National Security Act, but pro-NK administrations have deactivated the law. They became professors, teachers, workers, government officials, lawyers, judges and journalists. Currently > 100k pro-NK people in SK. They are moving and manipulating SK public opinion by using media, including TV. This war is a hard war to win. World needs to know what is going on. NK has a plan when they take over the South. 1. Ki//ll 20 million SK people. 2. Expel 10 millions SK people 3. Build a new nation with 20 millions NK people along with the rest 20 millions SK people. I am not making this up. Experts on NK tactics already know about it. NK made nukes to withdraw USFK and take over the South. The current jusapa government is helping NK to achieve their final goal, the communization of South Korea. Jusapa/NK/China constantly demand: 1. Ending Korean War to withdraw UNC. 2. Peace treaty to withdraw USFK. They feel this is the best time to achieve those because US president is DJT. They are pushing hard to make those really happen. Pro-NK people and media in SK have intensified the anti-Japan ideas among public. The latest radar incident by SK warship is a part of those activities by pro-NK people. FYI, the current SK DOD is run by pro-NK vice-minister Seo Ju-seok. SK Ministers of DOD have no power. Because of that, they could make the traitrous military agreement with NK. Japanese people should understand the current scheme of anti-Japan activities designed by pro-NK people and NK sp*ies in SK. People in the US and Japan need to support those people in SK against communism and CCP. If conservative Freedom Korea party wins the 2020 congressional election, SK may be able to stay in the US-JPN-SK alliance scheme. A lot of people in SK are very much interested in Japanese culture and ppl and admire the success of Japan greatly. Moon Jae-in and jusapa want to destroy the US-JPN-SK alliance scheme because NK and CCP want it. Their intention should be defeated.

  1067. The world Authority of disposal of nuclear waste says: “Scientists have been urging the Japanese government to slowly release tritium water from the Fukushima accident into the Pacific Ocean over about a ten-year period. The water is stored on-site in 900 or so large tanks. All of the other radioactive elements have been removed from the water by chemical treatment. Although not intuitive, this is a very good idea. Tritium is the mildly radioactive isotope of hydrogen that has two neutrons and one proton, with radioactivity so low that no environmental or human problems have ever come from it, even though it is a common radioactive element in the environment. Tritium is formed naturally by atmospheric processes as well as in nuclear weapons testing and in nuclear power plants. Tritium is assumed to be carcinogenic to humans at extremely high levels, although that claim is only hypothetical since adverse health effects from tritium have never appeared in humans or in the environment. Only laboratory studies on mice at extremely high levels have shown any adverse health effects and they were not fatal, even after ingesting 37,000,000 Bq/L. Putting this water into the ocean is without doubt the best way to get rid of it. Concentrating it and containerizing it actually causes more of a potential hazard to people and the environment. And is really expensive. Unfortunately, the idea of releasing radioactivity of any sort makes most people cringe. But that’s the problem, only the perception of tritium is bad, not the reality. And in our new world of anti-science, such a wrong idea might rule over what is the right thing to do, wasting precious resources and time. The scientific reality is tritium emits an incredibly weak beta particle that is easily stopped by our dead skin layer. It only goes a quarter inch in air. Even ingestion of tritium doesn’t do anything unless it’s at very high concentrations that can only be maintained in the laboratory. The health risks of tritium-contaminated water are so low that all countries of the world have no idea what regulatory limits to put on it. Using Becquerel per liter as the concentration unit (a Bq is a disintegration of a single nucleus per second), the United States has set 740 Bq/L for drinking water, but Canada has 7,000 Bq/L as its limit. Switzerland set 10,000 Bq/L, and Australia a whopping 76,103 Bq/L. But these limits were just taken out of thin air. They are not health-based. They were chosen because they were easy to achieve. Meaning none of these levels, or a hundred times these levels, are harmful. Even though more tritium has been formed in the last 60 years than all other radionuclides combined, there has never been a correlation of tritium with cancer or any other health effects in humans. Why is this the case? Hydrogen is a really small atom and easily gets through microscopic pores, even biological membranes and cell walls. Tritium (still hydrogen just heavier) can be found in water molecules (since water is two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom) and in organic materials which are mainly hydrogen and carbon. In fact, because tritium is three times heavier than normal hydrogen, tritium tends to replace normal hydrogen in water molecules, rapidly diluting any tritium in our bodies and in the environment. Our bodies are mostly hydrogen, and that is mostly in water. So while tritium’s radioactive half-life is 12.3 years, its biological half-life in our bodies is only 10 days. Therefore, ingestion of this weak emitter doesn’t have the same effect as most other ingested radionuclides.
    1
  1068. 2/ It’s also difficult for the extremely low-energy beta from tritium to get through the water, cell walls and other materials in between the radionuclide and any DNA. The energy in the slow-moving beta from tritium mostly gets dispersed within the electron clouds of other molecules through inelastic collisions and the Bremsstrahlung effect. This turns the kinetic energy of the beta emission into electromagnetic non-ionizing energy. In the end, it’s really difficult to get a large radiation dose from tritium, unlike any other radionuclide. It exits the body and is diluted too quickly. Even more important, there’s more tritium in the atmosphere from natural processes and left over from old bomb testing, than ever has been, or will be, released from commercial reactors. Cosmic rays produce four million curies worth of tritium every year (150,000,000,000,000,000 Bq) in the upper atmosphere, much of which rains out into surface waters that we end up drinking. Presently, however, the biggest source of tritium is from old above ground nuclear bomb tests that caused a peak in atmospheric tritium in 1963. These amounts of tritium from other sources are millions of times greater than what would be slowly released from these tanks at Fukushima. Since there’s been no health or environmental effects from any of these larger sources, it’s hard to get excited about dumping such a tiny amount from Fukushima into the ocean. Besides, there are 16,280,000,000,000,000,000,000 Bq of potassium-40, rubidium-87 and many more radionuclides already in the world’s oceans. So the fish are swimming in plenty of natural radioactive material. The biological half-life of tritium in fish and marine life is even shorter than in humans, less than 2 days and the dilution in seawater would be too rapid for any significant dose to get back to any people. Opposite to many other radionuclides, the physical and chemical properties of tritium means it does not concentrate up the food change, it dilutes up the food chain. So while Japanese fishermen fear this strategy of release from a public relations perspective, their fish will still test negative with respect to food radiation limits and their packaged fish sold at market would still carry the official ‘safe’ stickers. So it all comes down to perception and fear. We as scientists can give you the answers, but you can ignore them if you want, especially since non-scientists make these decisions anyway.

  1078. Releasing the treated water into the sea has been recommended by the IAEAs scientists from10 years ago and it’s going to be checked by the IAEA every time before releasing it into the sea. The amount of tritium is much lower than other countries. China and South Korea release much more radioactive material into the sea and also into the air. The content of tritium in the treated water is one seventh of drinking water. If you have a beef with it, why don't you tell it to the IAEA? Japan should follow the IAEAs policy.

  1092. [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

  1096. Korea insists 200,000 Korean women were kid*napped and raped. According to Korea, almost all se*x slaves were k*led or committed sui*cide soon after the end of the war. The number of victims were far more than that of the nuclear bomb in Hiroshima. However, Korea can not find even one article in newspapers in those days or soon after the war on this massacre. The population pyramid does not show the sign too. An old soldier Yoshida Seiji published “My war crime” in Japan in 1983. The book says “I abd*ucted 200 women and ra*ped in Cheju island in Korea.” Japanese Newspaper Asahi interviewed him and reported on the book many times. Korean media gave promonent coverage of it. The book also published in Korea in 1989 and was dramatized for TV in 1991. The audience ratings were quite high. A old woman came forward to sue Japanese government for money, she is the first pros**tute in public. Supporting group was formed, the representaive of the group who arrested on fraud was mother-in-law of the Asahi reporter, Takashi Uemura. Korean local Newspaper, The Cheju verified the book in Cheju island and reported there was no woman that was abd*ucted and ra*ped by the Japanese army. The newspaper criticized Yoshida as “shameful businessman.” Yoshida said “ All book is biased by its author.” In the end, he conceded the book was a fiction before his death. But Korean Newspaper, the Chosun Ilbo that is the major newspapers in South Korea said in 5 Sep 2012 that “Only this book is enough to verify that Japanese army kid*napped women and ra*ped.” Though in 2014 The Asahi canceled 18 articles and 495 columns for 14 years from 1980. Lies about Japan are not corrected in Korea.

  1103.  @meet560  She’s lying Korean authorities also agreed that Korean women were not coerced by Japanese Army “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  1109.  @farahindiasti4069  [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school. —-

  1110.  @farahindiasti4069  “Like many people born after independence, I had no experience of living under the Dutch rule to be able to say how bad or good it was. At school we learned a thing or two about the nature of colonialism. But that is precisely the question. How much do we know about how our ancestors lived through those 300 years, when we know that they were k*led, tor*tured, ra*ped, suppressed, enslaved at home, sold as slaves abroad, forced into hard labor, sent to exile, treated as non-citizens on their own land and stripped of all dignity as human beings? What about those 300 years from the time the Netherlands started to impose control over global spice supplies from Indonesia by violent means? We know of the 1621 k*lings of almost the entire population of 14,000 people on Banda Island. But we know little of the intervening years between that mas*sacre and the war for independence in 1945-1949. We know something about the Diponegoro War, and we get a glimpse of Dutch abuses from the 1860 novel Max Havelaar by Dutch author Eduard Douwes Dekker. We hardly get any picture of life under Dutch colonialism from writers in the Balai Pustaka generation from 1920 onward. As good as their writings are — considered classic Indonesian literature — they take the colonial system as given, understandably because of the censorship. — Launched in 2016, Histori Bersama casts doubts on the credibility of an ongoing research project commissioned by the Dutch government to look into claims of war crimes committed when Dutch soldiers were sent to Indonesia to reimpose colonial rule after World War II. In spite of the massive evidence, the Dutch version of the “police actions” in 1945-1949 denied any war crimes and laid the blame for violence on Indonesian “rebels”. Dutch consciousness and understanding of their colonial history is for them to deal with. If they have not come to terms with their ugly past, it is their problem. As Indonesians, we need to learn about our history from our own perspectives, most particularly about how our ancestors lived through those very difficult years of Dutch colonial rule. Three centuries is such a long period that it must have left a deep legacy in our psyche and perhaps even our characters. Our inferiority complex may have developed from those long years of violent suppression. Corruption, a malady present among all post-independent Indonesian leaders, may have been inherited from the princes and sultans who collaborated with the Dutch rulers, in return for material gains and power. What about the violent threads? We may have taken some of the best from our colonial masters, but we must have also inherited some of the worst Dutch character traits. Without understanding our own history of colonial subjugation, we may never know who we really are. We owe it to ourselves to learn about the truth.@ -COMMENTARY: How bad, how cruel were Dutch to us?

I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon."

At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater.

  1115. One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  1117. "Japonya'nın Kore'ye karşı işlediği iddia edilen suçlarla ilgili en sık tekrarlanan ve en çarpık efsanelerden biri, sözde “konfor kadınları" ile ilgilidir” Almanya Japonya doğru olmasa da “suçlarını telafi” olduğunu sonunda hakkındaki iddialar. Sadece bir yönü düşünmeme izin verin. 1965'te Kore hükümeti Park Chung-hee, iki ülke arasındaki ilişkileri normalleştiren Japonya ile bir anlaşma imzaladı. Antlaşma uyarınca Güney Kore, Japon egemenliğinin kurbanları için çok büyük miktarda ekonomik yardım, hibe, kredi ve önemli ölçüde tazminat aldı. (Japon hükümeti ulusal bütçenin 2,5 katını tazminat olarak ödedi, ancak Kore'de 40 yıl boyunca Japonya'ya karşı nefreti kışkırtmak için gizli tuttu ve Kore hükümeti gerçeği gizlemeye devam ediyor. Tüm bireysel iddialar 1965 Japonya-Güney Kore Antlaşması'nda çözülmesine rağmen, Japon hükümeti Koreli kadınlara birkaç kez iyi bir jest olarak tazminat teklif etti. Bununla birlikte, Japonya 1995 yılında Asya kadın Fonu aracılığıyla tazminat teklif ettiğinde(tazminat, Japonya Başbakanı'ndan kişisel bir özür mektubu ile geldi), Güney Koreli STK, eski konfor kadınlarını Japonya'nın özürünü ve tazminatını kabul etmemekle tehdit etti. STK'NIN emrine meydan okuyanların 61'i hain olarak doğrulandı, isimleri ve adresleri gazetelerde fahişe olarak yayınlandı ve hayatlarının geri kalanını utanç içinde yaşamak zorunda kaldılar. Güney Kore hükümeti, 2015 yılında konfor kadınları konusunda Japonya-Kore anlaşması imzaladı ve Japon hükümeti eski Koreli konfor kadınlarına kefaret parası olarak 1 milyar dolar ödedi. Ancak, Kore Moon Jae In yönetimi, 2018'de herhangi bir bildirimde bulunmaksızın anlaşmayı terk etti. Fesih duyurusu Japonya için tamamen kabul edilemez. Cumhurbaşkanı Moon Jae-in de dahil olmak üzere ROK Hükümeti, defalarca “anlaşmayı terk etmeyeceğini” ve “Japonya ile yeniden müzakere istemeyeceğini " belirtti”) - O sırada Japon hükümeti bireysel kurbanları telafi etmeyi teklif etti, ancak Güney Kore hükümeti teklifi reddetti ve tüm parayı alması ve vatandaşlarını telafi etmesi konusunda ısrar etti. Bu paranın çok azı (sadece 250 ABD doları) bireylere ödendi ve bunun yerine Güney Kore'nin ekonomik gelişimi için kullanıldı. Japon hükümeti, konfor kadın sistemi için özür diledi (aslında savaştan önce hem Kore hem de Japonya'da var olan ve çok sayıda Japon fahişenin yanı sıra diğer ülkelerden gelenleri de içeren lisanslı fuhuş sisteminin bir uzantısıydı), Almanya hiçbir zaman özür dilemedi veya eski fahişelere herhangi bir tazminat ödemedi. Aslında, hiç kimse böyle bir şey talep etmedi, çünkü işgal altındaki ülkelerde haklı ya da yanlış bir şekilde işbirlikçi olarak görülen bu kadınlar hiçbir zaman destekçi ya da savunucu bulamadılar” - Profesör Andrzej Kozlowski, Varşova Üniversitesi

Check my saved video Lee Yong-soo, the most famous comfort woman, filmed in 1992 is now found, in which she testified that she became Comfort Woman just because she followed a man who gave her a dress and shoes, NOT because she was tricked or abducted by force by Imperial Japanese Army. The footage filmed on Aug 15th, 1992 at KBS. That seems a little bit ironic that the announcer reconfirmed that she became Comfort Woman NOT because she was abd*ucted by force by Imperial Japanese Army, but she just followed a man by her own will.

  1121. [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

  1131. FYI, The world Authority of disposal of nuclear waste says: “Scientists have been urging the Japanese government to slowly release tritium water from the Fukushima accident into the Pacific Ocean over about a ten-year period. The water is stored on-site in 900 or so large tanks. All of the other radioactive elements have been removed from the water by chemical treatment. Although not intuitive, this is a very good idea. Tritium is the mildly radioactive isotope of hydrogen that has two neutrons and one proton, with radioactivity so low that no environmental or human problems have ever come from it, even though it is a common radioactive element in the environment. Tritium is formed naturally by atmospheric processes as well as in nuclear weapons testing and in nuclear power plants. Tritium is assumed to be carcinogenic to humans at extremely high levels, although that claim is only hypothetical since adverse health effects from tritium have never appeared in humans or in the environment. Only laboratory studies on mice at extremely high levels have shown any adverse health effects and they were not fatal, even after ingesting 37,000,000 Bq/L. Putting this water into the ocean is without doubt the best way to get rid of it. Concentrating it and containerizing it actually causes more of a potential hazard to people and the environment. And is really expensive. Unfortunately, the idea of releasing radioactivity of any sort makes most people cringe. But that’s the problem, only the perception of tritium is bad, not the reality. And in our new world of anti-science, such a wrong idea might rule over what is the right thing to do, wasting precious resources and time. The scientific reality is tritium emits an incredibly weak beta particle that is easily stopped by our dead skin layer. It only goes a quarter inch in air. Even ingestion of tritium doesn’t do anything unless it’s at very high concentrations that can only be maintained in the laboratory. The health risks of tritium-contaminated water are so low that all countries of the world have no idea what regulatory limits to put on it. Using Becquerel per liter as the concentration unit (a Bq is a disintegration of a single nucleus per second), the United States has set 740 Bq/L for drinking water, but Canada has 7,000 Bq/L as its limit. Switzerland set 10,000 Bq/L, and Australia a whopping 76,103 Bq/L. But these limits were just taken out of thin air. They are not health-based. They were chosen because they were easy to achieve. Meaning none of these levels, or a hundred times these levels, are harmful. Even though more tritium has been formed in the last 60 years than all other radionuclides combined, there has never been a correlation of tritium with cancer or any other health effects in humans. Why is this the case? Hydrogen is a really small atom and easily gets through microscopic pores, even biological membranes and cell walls. Tritium (still hydrogen just heavier) can be found in water molecules (since water is two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom) and in organic materials which are mainly hydrogen and carbon. In fact, because tritium is three times heavier than normal hydrogen, tritium tends to replace normal hydrogen in water molecules, rapidly diluting any tritium in our bodies and in the environment. Our bodies are mostly hydrogen, and that is mostly in water. So while tritium’s radioactive half-life is 12.3 years, its biological half-life in our bodies is only 10 days. Therefore, ingestion of this weak emitter doesn’t have the same effect as most other ingested radionuclides.
    1
  1132. 2/ It’s also difficult for the extremely low-energy beta from tritium to get through the water, cell walls and other materials in between the radionuclide and any DNA. The energy in the slow-moving beta from tritium mostly gets dispersed within the electron clouds of other molecules through inelastic collisions and the Bremsstrahlung effect. This turns the kinetic energy of the beta emission into electromagnetic non-ionizing energy. In the end, it’s really difficult to get a large radiation dose from tritium, unlike any other radionuclide. It exits the body and is diluted too quickly. Even more important, there’s more tritium in the atmosphere from natural processes and left over from old bomb testing, than ever has been, or will be, released from commercial reactors. Cosmic rays produce four million curies worth of tritium every year (150,000,000,000,000,000 Bq) in the upper atmosphere, much of which rains out into surface waters that we end up drinking. Presently, however, the biggest source of tritium is from old above ground nuclear bomb tests that caused a peak in atmospheric tritium in 1963. These amounts of tritium from other sources are millions of times greater than what would be slowly released from these tanks at Fukushima. Since there’s been no health or environmental effects from any of these larger sources, it’s hard to get excited about dumping such a tiny amount from Fukushima into the ocean. Besides, there are 16,280,000,000,000,000,000,000 Bq of potassium-40, rubidium-87 and many more radionuclides already in the world’s oceans. So the fish are swimming in plenty of natural radioactive material. The biological half-life of tritium in fish and marine life is even shorter than in humans, less than 2 days and the dilution in seawater would be too rapid for any significant dose to get back to any people. Opposite to many other radionuclides, the physical and chemical properties of tritium means it does not concentrate up the food change, it dilutes up the food chain. So while Japanese fishermen fear this strategy of release from a public relations perspective, their fish will still test negative with respect to food radiation limits and their packaged fish sold at market would still carry the official ‘safe’ stickers. So it all comes down to perception and fear. We as scientists can give you the answers, but you can ignore them if you want, especially since non-scientists make these decisions anyway.

  1133.  @claudel1027  A Taiwanese eye witness commenting about the time when Taiwan was under the rule of Japan. "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a war crim*inal. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

But that is the nature of the comfort-women-se*x-slave story. It’s been a bizarrely unending story. Elderly Korean women claim to have been forced at Japanese bayonet-point to work as sex slaves. The Japanese government replies that the Korean government waived claims like this by treaty in 1965. But it expresses sympathy anyway, and offers more money. Koreans still complain. The Japanese government apologizes again, offers more money, and the Korean government promises never to raise the question again. Then a new political party takes power, declares the Japanese apology insincere, and starts the process all over again. Expressing sympathy to elderly women who have had a rough life is fine. Paying money to an ally in order to rebuild a stable relationship is fine. But the claims about enslaved Korean comfort women are historically untrue. The Japanese army did not dragoon Korean women to work in its brothels. It did not use Korean women as s*ex slaves. The claims to the contrary are simply ー factually ー false. - Recovering the Truth about the Comfort Women- Harvard university

  1143. Good luck with the communists -Comments from S korean North Korea(NK) has worked on implanting groups of people in South Korea(SK) to spread juche ideology last 70 years. There are a lot of pro-NK people in universities, government,army, schools, media and congress. They brainwashed people to inject pro-NK ideas to people in the society and have been successful. Now they approach the end game. Next year there will be the congressional election in SK (2020). If the current pro-NK ruling jusapa wins the election, they will start confederation with NK no matter what South Koreans want it or not. World should notice that the current SK government is composed of jusapa who studied NK Juche ideology when they were college students. NK spies cultivated them. Their activity was suppressed hardly by SK National Security Act, but pro-NK administrations have deactivated the law. They became professors, teachers, workers, government officials, lawyers, judges and journalists. Currently > 100k pro-NK people in SK. They are moving and manipulating SK public opinion by using media, including TV. This war is a hard war to win. World needs to know what is going on. NK has a plan when they take over the South. 1. K*ll 20 million SK people. 2. Expel 10 millions SK people 3. Build a new nation with 20 millions NK people along with the rest 20 millions SK people. I am not making this up. Experts on NK tactics already know about it. NK made nukes to withdraw USFK and take over the South. The current jusapa government is helping NK to achieve their final goal, the communization of SK. Jusapa/NK/China constantly demand: 1. Ending Korean War to withdraw UNC. 2. Peace treaty to withdraw USFK. They feel this is the best time to achieve those because US president is DJT. They are pushing hard to make those really happen. Pro-NK people and media in SK have intensified the anti-Japan ideas among public. The latest radar incident by SK warship is a part of those activities by pro-NK people. FYI, the current SK DOD is run by pro-NK vice-minister Seo Ju-seok. SK Ministers of DOD have no power. Because of that, they could make the traitrous military agreement with NK. Japanese people should understand the current scheme of anti-Japan activities designed by pro-NK people and NK sp*ies in SK. People in the US and Japan need to support those people in SK against communism and CCP. If conservative Freedom Korea party wins the 2020 congressional election, SK may be able to stay in the US-JPN-SK alliance scheme. A lot of people in SK are very much interested in Japanese culture and ppl and admire the success of Japan greatly. Moon Jae-in and jusapa want to destroy the US-JPN-SK alliance scheme because NK and CCP want it. Their intention should be defeated.

  1146. “In Southern culture, to keep harmony, we often apologize for things we did not do. If a person walks into me causing an RC Cola spill and a dropped Moon Pie, I will instantly apologize even though it was the other person’s fault. This is the Southern way. The person who bumped into me will probably offer to buy me another cola and Moon Pie, and I’ll say no problem, I should have been more careful where I was standing. Harmony is what holds us together. Japanese do the same, as will polite British. - Apologies: Fuel on the Flames However, some other cultures in the United States and abroad take any apology as an admission of guilt. These traits are useful for lawyers, as people apologize for things for which they are not responsible, then end up in court trying to explain away the apology. SK and mainland C will take any apology as an admission of guilt. They will expect recompense, and often they will demand more apologies, such as when SK and mainland C demand endless public apologies from Japan.”

  1147.  @이수현-x9z  the Japanese military's in China and Southeast Asia did create the demand for comfort women(military pros**tutes). So Japan bears part of the responsibility for women's suffering (many of them didn’t get any social welfare or pension from their countries) although its military did not coerce Korean women nor operate comfort stations.

  1148. As acad:emics, we are used to dealing with exagge:rations. We are not used to finding that the story is pure fiction. But that is the nature of the comfort-women-se*x-slave story. It’s been a bizarrely unending story. Elderly Korean women claim to have been forced at Japanese bayonet-point to work as se*x slaves. The Japanese government replies that the Korean government waived claims like this by treaty in 1965. But it expresses sympathy anyway, and offers more money. Koreans still complain. The Japanese government apologizes again, offers more money, and the Korean government promises never to raise the question again. Then a new political party takes power, declares the Japanese apology insincere, and starts the process all over again. Expressing sympathy to elderly women who have had a rough life is fine. Paying money to an ally in order to rebuild a stable relationship is fine. But the claims about enslaved Korean comfort women are historically untrue.

Keiko Usuki spent the rest of her life working to support the bereaved families. she is one of the Japanese who has been looking at the historical issues of Japan and Korea, which began in the 1990s, most closely. Keiko Usuki has interacted with many former comfort women in support activities, and from 2007 to the spring of 2017, she worked as a private person in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs follow-up project to provide welfare support to the former comfort women. In a sense, Keiko Usuki is a woman who has been closer to the former comfort women than Koreans, The biggest barrier for Mrs. Keiko Usuki was the Korean Council.

  1150.  @이수현-x9z  The U.S. military interrogated hundreds of Korean POWs that belonged to the Japanese Army. They frequented comfort stations, and the following was what they said about Korean comfort women: "All Korean pro//stitutes that POWs have seen in the Pacific were volunteers or had been sold by their parents into pros//titution. This is proper in the Korean way of thinking, but direct cons/cription of women by the Japanese would be an outrage that the old and young alike would not tolerate. Men would rise up in a rage, ko//lling Japanese no matter what consequence they might suffer."

If the Korean operators had followed the order, there wouldn't have been any comfort women issue.

  1153.  @이수현-x9z  1938 Mar 4 - Notice Concerning Comfort Women in China The following is a March 4, 1938 notice to Japanese military commanders in China concerning Comfort Women. Title: “Matters regarding recruitment at military comfort station” <Notification> From: Assistant To: Army Chief Generals of the troops in northern China and of the expeditionary force in central China When brokers recruited comfort women for establishment of brothels during Sino-Japanese war, there were more than a few infamous cases to which we need to pay attention: the case of some brokers using the authority of the Japanese military for their recruitment, as the result, they ruined the credibility of the Japanese military, which led to a misunderstanding of ordinary people, the case that some brokers used an unruly method of recruiting through embedded journalists and visitors, causing social problems, the case that some brokers were arrested and placed under investigation because their recruiting method was similar to kid*napping. From now, as regards the recruitment of comfort women, the expeditionary force must properly choose and control brokers who recruit comfort women. Also, it is necessary to cooperate with military police and law enforcement authorities. To keep the prestige of Japanese military and to consider social problems, take careful note without omission.

  1154. This US report is based on the information obtained from the interrogation of twenty Korean "comfort girls" and two Japanese(ethnic Korean) civilians captured around the tenth of August, 1944 in the mopping up operations after the fall of Myitkyina in Burma. The report shows how the Japanese recruited these Korean "comfort girls", the conditions under which they lived and worked, their relations with and reaction to the Japanese soldier, and their understanding of the military situation. A "comfort girl" is nothing more than a pros**tute or "professional camp follower" attached to the Japanese Army for the benefit of the soldiers. The word "comfort girl" is peculiar to the Japanese. Other reports show the "comfort girls" have been found wherever it was necessary for the Japanese Army to fight. This report however deals only with the Korean "comfort girls" recruited by the Japanese and attached to their Army in Burma. The Japanese are reported to have shipped some 703 of these girls to Burma in 1942.

  1155.  @이수현-x9z  The report mentions the girls grossing fifteen hundred yen a month, then turning 50% to 60% to the “house master.” According to a Yale University research, a female textile worker in Japan in 1939 earned less than 20 yen a month. In one year she would earn more than a lifetime in a textile factory. An advance loan of a few hundred yens was not a paltry sum at that time. A Japanese soldier’s pay started at six yen a month.

  1156. The ages of the Korean comfort women listed one teenager who was 19 years of age, four 20, with the rest over 21, eight being 25 or older. The inducement used by these agents was plenty of money, an opportunity to pay off the family debts, easy work, and the prospects of a new life in a new land - Singapore.

  1157. “LIVING AND WORKING CONDITIONS: In Myitkyina, the girls were usually quartered in a large two-story house (usually a school building) with a separate room for each girl. There each girl lived, slept, and transacted business. In Myitkyina their food was prepared by and purchased from the ‘house master’ as they received no regular ration from the Japanese Army. They lived in near-luxury in Burma in comparison to other places. This was especially true of their second year in Burma. They lived well because their food and material was not heavily rationed and they had plenty of money with which to purchase desired articles. They were able to buy cloth, shoes, cigarettes, and cosmetics to supplement the many gifts given to them by soldiers who had received ‘comfort bags’ [a bag filled with miscellaneous goods from the home front] from home.” “While in Burma they amused themselves by participating in sports events with both officers and men; and attended picnics, entertainments, and social dinners. They had a phonograph; and in the towns they were allowed to go shopping.”
    1
  1158. “PAY AND LIVING CONDITIONS: The ‘house master’ received fifty to sixty per cent of the girls’ gross earning depending on how much of a debt each girl had incurred when she signed her contract. This meant that in an average month a girl would gross about fifteen hundred yen. She turned over seven hundred and fifty to the ‘master.’ Many ‘masters’ made life very difficult for the girls by charging them high prices for food and other articles. In the latter part of 1943 the Army issued orders that certain girls who had paid their debt could return home. Some of the girls were thus allowed to return to Korea.” The interrogations further show that the health of these girls was good. They were well supplied with all types of contraceptives, and often soldiers would bring their own which had been supplied by the army.

  1159. “SOLDIERS’ REACTIONS: The average Japanese soldier is embarrassed about being seen in a ‘comfort house’ according to one of the girls who said, ‘when the place is packed he is apt to be ashamed if he has to wait in line for his turn.’ However there were numerous instances of 【proposals of marriage】 and in certain cases marriages actually took place.”

  1160.  @이수현-x9z  These reports provide concrete evidence that many comfort stations were operated by Koreans. Korean operators of special comfort stations in many cases had women and children, in other words, families. This is evidence that they were not single men who were part of the Japanese Army. The same applied to Japanese-operated comfort stations. There is not a single report that lists any Korean comfort women in a Japanese-operated comfort station.

  1162.  @이수현-x9z  Asian Women's Fund was established by the Japanese government in 1995. (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan) As for Korean women, although they were not coerced by the Japanese military and all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered Asian Women's Fund to Korean women as a good gesture. Ironically every nation involved except South Korea accepted compensation through Asian Women's Fund and reconciled with Japan. (Note: The South Korean government and Korean women wanted to accept Asian Women's Fund as well, but the anti-Japanese activist group Korean council thre:atened Korean women not to accept Japan's apology and compensation so that it could continue its anti-Japanese propaganda campaign. So most Korean women could not accept Japan's apology and compensation

  1163.  @이수현-x9z  1925 May 11 - "Local Color" This May 11, 1925 article is from the Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo and is entitled, "Local Color." The reporter is describing the Korean city of Cheongjin in North Hamgyeong Province. Local Color If you walk down a Korean street in this city, the first thing you notice after one or two houses are signs that say “Boarding House,” “Restaurant,” and “Pawn Shop.” And in every alley you see places with such names as “Seoul House” and “Daegu House” that sell rice wine. You also see many pros**tutes in heavy makeup going in and out the doors. However, rather than seeing these establishments as promoting immorality, I see them as places that necessarily exist to provide natural, temporary relief to an increasingly large number of laborers. Speaking of prostitutes, scores of Korean and Japanese bordellos fill Bukseong-jeong (part of the port city of Cheongjin in Northern Hamgyeong Province ) and have become the town’s specialty product. Whenever military ships, which allow no women onboard, enter the port, it is said that dozens and dozens of sailors race ashore, completely turning the port into a “City of Flesh.” Even when there are no military ships in port, it is said that the streets are bustling with nightlife as sailors are always coming and going. Most of the buildings along the street are Japanese style. Many of the people on the streets wear Western suits. Hundreds of people leave and enter the city each day. Even many of the locals seem to be wearing Western suits. You hear auctioneers shouting, “five cheon, ten cheon,” and you also hear, “Let’s play, let’s play.” You hear, “The Social system is blah, blah, blah,” and you also hear, “Amen.” All parts of the new and old worlds are represented on the streets of this city.

The Ministry said it tested more than 1 million women last year, including hostesses, dancers, and comfort women. It treated infected women for free. However, because of such shortages as budget, medicine, and facilities; concerned authorities, on the 15th, said they could not test men on a mass scale and focuses only on testing and treating women, suggesting that eradication of VD was not possible.

In fact, the girls told me they could not go to the local police for help because they believed them to be working with the pi:mps.” Evil Pimp Arrested [Daegu] Jin Yong-hui, who operates a "wh;ore house" at No. 67 Kyo-dong in Daegu City, has been brought in for questioning, without detention, at the Daegu Women's Police Station. Ms. Jin is charged with previously telling 21-year-old Kim Hak-i (金學伊) that she would pay her debt of 30,000 hwan if she would work for one month as a comfort woman, but when Ms. Kim could no longer endure the suffering and tried to escape on the 7th, she was illegally con:fined and beaten numerous times.

  1167. 1953 Jul 21 - "Country Girls Lured into Pros***ution" This July 7, 1953 article from the South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo describes a typical means by which innocent Korean girls were lured into pros***ution. That is, they are promised a good job, put into debt, and then forced to pay back the debt by working as pros**tutes. When I was in South Korea in the navy in the late 1970s, the typical method was to put ads promising high-paying waitress jobs in cheap magazines. When girls showed up, they were given a furnished apartment to put them in high-interest debt, which their waitress salaries would never be able to pay off, which forced them into pros**tution. At that time a person could not walk away from debt or declare personal bankruptcy. Country Girls Lured into Pros**tution Go Ok-i (高玉伊), a 53-year-old woman who lives at No. 83 on 3rd Street in the Cho Ryang-dong area of Hanmok City, was operating a comfort woman business for UN servicemen until she suspended operations because of financial difficulties. Then on the 3rd of this month, with the intention of reopenning her business, Ms. Go had her maid, Im Mi-ja (林미子), lure five virgins, including 15-year-old Gang Pil-yeon (姜必連) of Jinju City (at No. 888 in Tongbong-dong), to Busan with promises of getting them jobs in the 34th Military Hospital. Telling the girls that they would need to wear "high-class" clothes if they expected to be hired, Ms. Go gave each of the six girls an advance of 5,000 hwan worth of high-class clothing with the idea of putting them to work as comfort women. However, she was detected by police authorities prior to that, and on the 7th, Ms. Go and Ms. Im were undergoing intense questioning at the Investigation Section of the Busan Police Department.

  1168. 1953 Feb 25 - "The Reality of War-damaged Women Turning to Pros***ution" The following February 25, 1953 article is from the Korean newspaper Gyeonghyang Sinmun. It paints an image of women struggling in post-war Seoul, South Korea. The Reality of War-damaged Women Becoming Pros**tutes Half Fall Because of Hardships of Life More than 1,200 Women Registered to 289 Pi:mps According to an investigation done by the Women's Department in Seoul's Social Bureau, there are a total of 1,274 comfort women for UN servicemen living in the city that are registered with the relevant authorities. According to the same survey, there are as many as 289 so-called pi:mps for comfort women for UN serviceman. Looking at the academic levels of these "UN" comfort women, there are 471 who are illiterate, 725 who have completed primary school, 74 who have graduated from a girl's school (middle/high school), and 4 who have graduated college. Almost all of them said the reason they registered as comfort women for UN servicemen was the hardships of life. More than 1,000 of them said they have been doing this kind of work for only about a year or less. The image of degradation in war-damaged women struggling with the hardships of life following the recapture of Seoul is clearly reflected in these women.

  1169. 1951 Apr 15 - "Donga Ilbo" Editorial Proposes Tax on "Comfort Women" This April 15, 1951 editorial in the South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo is entitled "Work Harder on Currency Deflation" and proposes that a more direct tax be imposed on such businesses and operations as "Comfort Women" (military pros***utes), whose taxable income is often not documented. The next level of income sources include the comfort women, the laundries, the photo shops, the restaurants and the like in the amusement quarters, and the shopkeepers selling cameras and leather bags near the camps of UN troops. These do, in fact, provide what is considered indirect taxes, but most of the tax income is not going into the national treasury but into the pockets of those those business operators who seem to be misappropriating most of it. Therefore, concerning the income from these kinds of businesses and operations, I think a tax that does not rely on documentation is needed since most of the business operators are not providing all the documents.

  1170.  @이수현-x9z  February 13, 1953 article from the South Korean newspaper Gyeonghyang Sinmun is evidence that "comfort women" (military pros**utes) were registered with local police departments at the time. The reference to "elevating their patriotic feelings" was probably a reference to their being told that they were patriots for earning foreign currency for their country, which is what other foreign pros**tutes in Korea have claimed they were told by Korean government officials. Police Push Ahead with Refinement of Foreigner Who*res (ChunCheon) To control the loose morals of the so-called “western wives” (foreigner who*res) and instill cultural enlightenment while also maintaining good health and elevating their patriotic feelings, the Chunchen Police Department have formed the “United Belief Society” (협심회) to organize the "western wives" under their jurisdiction. They say there are 160 pi:mps, 115 women cohabitating with UN troops, and 667 “comfort women” registered with them, but only sixty-two (8.2%) are infected with venereal disease and are currently receiving treatment at the Chuncheon Provincial Clinic. “When I was in Korea in the navy in the late 1970s, those women cohabitating with UN troops were called "yobos," to whom you would pay about $200 a month for them to house and feed you and take care of you sexually. The women seemed to like that better than working in the clubs.”

The girl’s hair is cut in a boyish style, as is the hair of other young girls appearing in photographs of war orphans. This was not fashion but camouflage. Dressing girls and young women as boys and giving them boyish haircuts had been part of an often-vain effort to keep them from attracting the attention of K Army and other ra*pists.

  1177.  @이수현-x9z  Cambridge University Professor James Crawford, a specialist in international law, challenged the Korean claim. He said that at the time of the annexation, it was not rare for one country to assume control of another if the latter could not survive on its own, from the perspective of preserving international order. He added that the Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty was not illegal in terms of international law.

  1180. "저는 일본통치시대의 교육도 받았어요. 일본은 교육에 있어서도 차별을 하지 않았습니다. " 전 한국 공군대령 최삼연씨 원래 식민지라는 것은 15세기부터 시작되었습니다. 근현대사라는 것은 인류에 있어서 식민지시대라고도 할 수 있어요. 세계는 가는 곳 마다 식민지 투성이었어요. 아프리카 등은 식민지시대가 끝나고도 빈곤으로부터 좀처럼 벗어날 수 없는 상태입니다. 그러면 식민지로부터 근대적인 경제발전을 수행한 곳은 어디인가요? 한국과 대만입니다. 모두 일본의 식민지였던 곳입니다. 그 외에도 홍콩과 싱가폴이 있지만, 여기는 영국의 소위 천령(天領)이었습니다. 인도는 영국의 식민지로서 대표적이지만, 인프라가 정비되어있지 않고, 좀처럼 경제발전이 되지 않았습니다. 지금 인도는 경제발전을 하고 있다고 하지만, 그레도 일인당 GDP는 890달러, 문자해독률은 64%에 불과합니다. 한국과 대만은 일본통치시대에 인프라가 정비되어 있었습니다. 전쟁이 끝나기 전, 철도, 수도, 전기 등의 설비는 일본 국내와 큰 차가 없었어요. 이것은 다른 외국의 식민지 경영과 아주 다른 점입니다. 다른 외국은 식민지로부터는 일방적으로 착취만 할 뿐이었어요. 일본은 국내의 세금을 식민지의 인프라 정비에 투입한 것입니다. 그래서 주민의 생활수준에도 본토와 그다지 차이가 없었어요. 저는 일본통치시대의 교육도 받았어요. 당시 일본 국내에서 행하여지고 있었던 학교교육과 차이가 없었습니다. 또 일본의 육군사관학교에는조선인의 입학을 인정하고 있었어요. 당시의 다른 외국에서는 자국의 육군사관학교에 식민지인의 입학을 인정하지는 않았어요. 즉 일본은 교육에 있어서도 차별을 하지 않았습니다. 당시의 다른 외국은 본국과 식민지를 명확히 차별하고 있었어요. 식민지란 착취의 대상으로서 경영하는 것이었고, 차별당하여도 당연했습니다. 일본은 차별을 하지 않도록 병합한 것이고, 소위 다른 외국의 식민지지배와는 완전히 달랐습니다. 세계적으로 보면 식민지지배를 받은 측에서는 원한과 증오가 있지만, 역으로 종주국에 존경의 마음을 품는 경우도 있습니다. 인도인이 영국문화에 존경의 마음을 품기도 합니다. 대만과 한국에서도 “그 시대는 열쇠를 잠그지도 않고 잠을 잘수 있었다.”고 하는 연배가 있는 사람들이 많이 있습니다. 그러나 젊은 세대는 그런 시대를 모르기 때문에, 증오의 감정만이 앞서 버립니다.

  1181. '한글'을 최초로 학교교육에 도입해 체계적으로 가르치도록 한 것은, 日本의 조선총독부(朝鮮総督府)였다. 당시 조선은, 왕궁이나 관료 등 일부 지식인이 한문(漢文)으로 읽고 쓰기도 했지만, 일반 민중들은 이것이 불가능하여, 방치되고 있었다. 한글은 15세기에 발명되었지만, 문자(文字)를 독점하던 특권계층의 반대에 막혀 제대로 사용되지 못했다. 조선의 한글을 재발견(再発見)하여, 기존 日本의 '漢字-가나(仮名,일본어)혼용문'에 착안해, '漢字-한글 혼용문'을 고안(考案)한 것은 일본의 선각자 '후쿠자와 유키치(福沢諭吉, 1835~1901)였다. 이후, 조선총독부(朝鮮総督府)는 소학교(小学校) 단계에서부터 한글 교육용 교과서를 준비하여, 日本이 한반도에 세운 5천200개의 소학교(小学校)에서 한글을 학습하도록 했다. 日本은 조선인(朝鮮人)으로부터 언어를 빼앗은 것이 아니라, 반대로 조선인(朝鮮人)이 자신의 모국어(母国語)를 제대로 읽고 쓸 수 있도록 문자(文字)를 정비(整備)했다. 아울러, 합병 당시, 한국인(조선인) 평균 수명은 24세였는데, 日本통치 기간 중에 2배 이상으로 수명이 늘었고, 인구(人口) 절대수 또한 배증(倍増)했다. 쌀(米) 수확량은 3배(倍)가 되었고, 아사(餓死)가 근절(根絶)되었다. 벌거숭이 산(山)에는 6억(億) 그루의 수목(樹木)이 재배되었고, 100킬로미터였던 철도가 6천킬로미터로 연장되었다. 수풍(水豊) 댐은 당시 세계 최대급의 수력발전소였다. 이러한 한반도 지역 발전에 소요된 자금은, 당시 日本정부(日本국민 세금)가 모두 부담했다. 현재 가치로 환산하면, 60조엔(円) 이상의 막대한 자금이 당시 한반도에 투입되었다. 본국(본토)으로부터 이러한 막대한 자금을 끌어다 식민지를 近代化 시킨 케이스는 세계적으로 유례가 없다.

  1183. 韓國人에게 쓴 소리 몇 가지 ¶한국에 있어, '反日'이란? "일본이 사죄나 보상을 안해주었기 때문에 한국인들이 취하는 행동을 의미하는 것이 아니라, 일본을 미워하는 평소 욕구의 끊임없는 충족을 위해 그때그때 상황에 맞는 사유(위안부,징용,교과서,야스쿠니...)를 끊임없이 이리저리 부각시켜 나가는 행동을 의미" ¶많은 한국인들이 지니고 있는 특이한 강박 증상 몇 개 -"일본을 계속 압박해야 한다"는 강박 -"일본에게 면죄부를 주는 일은 없어야 한다'는 강박 -"일본의 과거 잘못을 세계만방에 알려야 한다'는 강박 ¶한국인들이, 공통적으로 가장 잘 잊어버리는 것은? -'일본이 이미 사죄하고 보상도 했다는 점' (많은 한국인들이 평소, "일본은 왜 사죄.보상을 하나도 안하나?", "독일 처럼 한번만 사죄하면 끝날 텐데" 라는 식의 중증 기억상실증을 많이 드러낸다) ¶한국인들이 평소 가진 '보편적 인권에 대한 관심' 의 정도(程度)를 100 수준이라 치면, 이들 한국인들이 가진 과거 특정시점(1940년대 몇 년) 및 특정지역(한반도)을 향한 '보편적 인권 관심'의 정도(程度)는 100,000,000 수준. 한국인들은 특정지역(한반도) 및 특정시점(1940년대 몇 년)의 '보편적 인권'에만 유독 집착하는 아주 독특한 취향 보유. 한국인들이 가진 '보편적 인권 의식'의 범주 안에는, 유럽에서 벌어진 '독일군에 의한 유대인 학살'도 별로 포함 안되고, 오늘날 'IS에 의한 각종 만행' 같은 것도 포함 안되며, 오직 '1940년대 초반 몇 년간의 한반도'에만 해당하는 극히 기형적 모습. ¶다른 나라 사람들은 '애국'을 할 때, 자기 나라를 사랑하는 행동을 한다. 그런데, 한국인들은 '애국'을, 자기 나라 사랑하는 행동보다는, 타국(일본)를 열심히 증오하고 깎아내리는 것을 통해 이루려는 경향이 특히 요즘 두드러진다. 한국인들은, 남(타국)을 욕하고 비난하는 것을 원래부터 좋아하는 습성을 타고난 것은 아닌지 모르겠다.

  1184. ¶한국 정부의 '反日 부메랑'이란? 한국 정부가 일본을 압박하기 위해, 온갖 수단방법(유엔이나 국내언론 활용 등)을 동원해 한국의 일반국민들로 하여금 反日에 나서도록 사실상 선동해 왔는데, 소기의 목적(위안부 합의)이 달성된 지금은, 정부가 원상복귀를 원해도, 일단 정부에 의해 후끈 달아오른 '反日의 열기'는 전혀 진정될 조짐을 보이지 않고, 정부의 발목을 잡는 수준으로까지악화된 상황. '反日 부메랑'은 이러한 경우를 의미. ※'反日 부메랑'이 주는 교훈 정부가 당장의 필요에 의해, 국민들을 선동해 먹기는 쉬워도, 일단 선동된 국민들은 나중에 상황이 종료되더라도 정상을 찾기가 어렵다.(정부가 국민들을 그릇된 길로 이끌고, 이로 인해 결과적으로 정부나 국민 모두가 낭패를 보는 결과)

'위안부를 강제동원했냐 안 했냐' 이 문제. 위안부를 강제동원 했다는 일부 위안부 경험자의 증언은 있다. 그러나 한국이고 일본이고 객관적인 자료는 하나도 없다. 문제는 바로 거기에 있다. 위안부 강제동원의 증거가 하나도 없다. (일제 강점기 당시) 경제형편이 괜찮은 사람들은 딸을 위안부로 보내지 않았고 어려운 사람들만 보냈다, 따라서 이것은 어느 정도의 자발성도 있을 수 있다. 자발적 위안부, 그것은 객관적 역사적 사실.

  1187. '日本 입장' 되어보기 日本이, 평소 韓國에 의해 다반사로 겪는 상황을, 입장 바꾸어, 韓國도 그대로 겪는다고 가정할 때(베트남에 의해), 대략 나타날 일들. -베트남 한국대사관 앞에 '한국군에 의한 성폭행 피해 소녀상'이 설치된다. -'성폭행 피해 소녀상'이 미국, 호주, 캐나다 등에 설치된다. -국제 만화제, 영화제에 '한국군 성폭행' 작품이 출품된다. -베트남 지도자가, 해외 순방 때마다 방문국에서 '한국군 성폭행'을 거론하며 한국을 비난한다. -베트남 각종 단체와 개인이 한국 비난 편지를 각국에 발송한다. -한국 비난 동영상을 인터넷에 널리 유포한다. -유엔 연설 때 마다 '성폭행'을 주제로 한국을 비난한다. -베트남이, 로비회사와 정식계약 맺고, 한국 대통령 美의회 연설 무산을 위해, 공개적으로 분주하게 활동한다. -베트남 젊은이들이, 미국 자전거 횡단 행사를 하는데, 주제는 '성폭행 한국군 만행 알리기'다. -베트남內 한국 국가행사가 하루 전에 '시설 대여 불가'로 일방 취소된다. -미국內 베트남인들이 美의회에서, '한국군 성폭행 결의안'을 추진한다. -한국 대통령이 訪美하여 대학에서 연설하고 있는데, 베트남 청년이 나타나 "성폭행 왜 사죄 안하나?"라며 따진다. -미국內 베트남系 고등학생이 '한국군 성폭행 널리 알리기' 교내 행사를 추진한다. -베트남이, 한국의 유네스코 문화유산 신청에 대해, '성폭행 사실도 포함하라'고 요구한다. -베트남이, '한국군 성폭행 자료'를 유네스코 등재 추진한다. -베트남이, '성폭행 씰(Seal)'을 발행한다. -뉴욕타임스, 뉴욕전광판에 '한국군 성폭행' 광고를 한다. -이상과 같은 활동들에 대해, 베트남 언론이나 베트남 국민들은 서로 잘했다며 칭찬하고 대견스럽게 여긴다. -기타 등등... 그런데, 이러한 베트남이, 한국의 바로 옆(이웃 나라)에 위치하며, 경제규모가 아직 한국의 절반에도 못미치고, 분야(특정 산업 및 금융 등)에 따라서는 아직 한국에 크게 의존해야만 하는 상황이라면, 이 경우, 한국인들은, '嫌베트남' 감정과 함께, "언제 한번 걸리기만 해봐라"(금융위기 발생 등) 式 감정을 안갖게 될 수 있을 것인가? 한국인들에게 특히 부족한 것은, '역지사지'와 '균형감각'이다. 상대방 입장은 고려 안하고 오직 자기만 옳은 줄 안다. 독선의 전형이다. 한국인들은 '세상이 한국을 중심으로 돈다'는 식의 과도한 자기중심적 입장과, 저급한(싸구려) 민족주의에서 속히 탈피해야만 비로소 외형(경제규모 세계 11위)에 걸맞는 교양과 품위를 갖게 될 것이다. 지금 한국인 상태는, 몸에는 양복을 걸쳤지만, 머리에 갓 쓰고 발에는 짚신 신은 격이다. 우리는 심각(反日)해도, 남들 입장에서는, 때로 非상식 내지 코미디 같은 式으로 보일 수 도 있는 이유다.

'남의 불행을 기원하는, 비난 받을 만한 글'이라도 일본을 향한 것이라면 자신의 이름이 노출되는 것도 '전혀 무방하다'('떳떳하다')는 한국내 분위기를 보여주는 현상. 기사에 달린 독자의견 중 몇 가지.('실명'작성) '아베는 죽었어 안죽었어? 희소식이 없는걸 보니 살아 있나 보네. 아쉽다' '진도 7.0은 좀 아쉽다. 최소한 9.7 정도는 됐어야 하는데' '약하다. 도쿄 한복판으로 가야하는데, 왜놈들은 좋겠다' '더 강한 것 몇 방만 제발' '이왕 발생할 거면, 동경 앞바다에 진도 8정도로 강력하게 터져 아베 일당을 몽땅 용궁으로 끌고 들어가야지' 상대가 일본이라면 무슨 짓을 해도 무방하다는 식의 못된 습성(인식)을 한국인들이 널리 공유하는 까닭에, 한국인들의 평균적 '국민성' 수준은 대폭 낮아져 있는 상태. 쉽게 말해, 반일감정 때문에 한국인의 국민성 평균 점수가, 대폭 '손해 볼 수밖에 없는'('깍이는') 기구한 상황. 한국인의 일부 못된 국민성('모함' '억지' '오리발' '무관용' '배은망덕' '천박' '무례'...등)은, 그 근원을 파헤쳐 보면, 어려서부터 받아온 맹목적 反日증오 교육이 핵심요인으로 자리 잡고 있다는 결론에 도달. 어려서부터 '미제원쑤'라는 식의 反美증오 교육을 받아온 북한이 평소 국제무대에서 보여주는 수준을 떠올리면 쉽게 수긍 가는 상황. ¶교훈 '남을 부지런히 미워하고 증오하면, 그 자신이 먼저 '망가진다'('추해진다')'.

  1193. 【K traff*cking】 In August 1999 police issued an arrest warrant for Kim Kyong Soo, president of the Korean Special Tourism Industry Association, on suspicion that he had brought more than 1,000 Filipina and Russian women into Korea to work as bar girls around U.S. military bases. A judge cancelled the warrant for lack of evidence and closed the case. Nevertheless, an American sergeant told Time magazine, in words chillingly similar to the Korean comfort women stories, that the Russian and Filipina women in the Dongducheon bars “are here because they’ve been tricked. They’re told they’re going to be bartending or waitressing, but once they get here, things are different.” In 2005 a former Filipina bar worker was awarded $5,000 from a South Korean nightclub owner who forced her to have s*ex with U.S. soldiers for money, and a club owner was convicted of illegal brothel-keeping.

They never admitted to the atro:cities. k Second, domestic politics prevented the issue from making it onto governmental agendas.

  1202. “Um dos mitos mais frequentemente repetidos e distorcidos sobre os supostos crimes do Japão contra a Coréia, diz respeito às chamadas "mulheres de conforto". Finalmente, sobre as alegações de que a Alemanha "expiou" apropriadamente por seus crimes, enquanto o Japão não o fez. Deixe-me considerar apenas um aspecto. Em 1965, o governo coreano de Park Chung-hee assinou um tratado com o Japão, normalizando as relações entre os dois países. Nos termos do tratado, a Coréia do Sul recebeu grandes quantidades de ajuda econômica, subsídios, empréstimos e, significativamente, indenizações para as vítimas do domínio japonês. (O governo japonês pagou 2,5 vezes o orçamento nacional como compensação, mas manteve-o em segredo durante 40 anos na Coréia para incitar o ódio contra o Japão e o governo coreano continua tentando esconder a verdade. Embora todas as reivindicações individuais tenham sido resolvidas no Tratado Japão-Coréia do Sul de 1965, o governo japonês ainda ofereceu várias vezes indenização às mulheres coreanas como um bom gesto. Entretanto, quando o Japão ofereceu indenização através do Fundo para Mulheres Asiáticas em 1995 (a indenização veio com uma carta pessoal de desculpas do Primeiro Ministro do Japão), a ONG sul-coreana ameaçou antigas mulheres de conforto para não aceitar o pedido de desculpas e a indenização do Japão. 61 das que desafiaram a ordem da ONG foram verificadas como traidoras, seus nomes e endereços foram publicados em jornais como prostitutas, e tiveram que viver o resto de suas vidas em desgraça. O governo sul-coreano assinou o acordo Japão-Coreia sobre a questão das mulheres de conforto em 2015 e o governo japonês pagou 1 bilhão de dólares como dinheiro de expiação para as ex-coreanas de conforto. No entanto, a administração do Moon Jae In da Coréia abandonou o acordo em 2018 sem qualquer aviso prévio. O anúncio da dissolução é totalmente inaceitável para o Japão. Enquanto o governo da ROK, incluindo o presidente Moon Jae-in, declarou repetidamente em público que "não abandonará o acordo" e "não pedirá uma renegociação com o Japão") - O governo japonês naquela época se ofereceu para compensar as vítimas individuais, mas o governo sul-coreano recusou a oferta e insistiu que deveria receber todo o dinheiro e compensar seus próprios cidadãos. Muito pouco desse dinheiro (apenas 250 dólares) foi pago a indivíduos e, em vez disso, foi usado para o desenvolvimento econômico da Coréia do Sul. O governo japonês pediu desculpas por seu sistema de mulheres de conforto (que na verdade era uma extensão do sistema de prostituição licenciada que existia tanto na Coréia como no Japão antes da guerra e que envolvia um grande número de prostitutas japonesas, assim como as de outros países), a Alemanha nunca pediu desculpas ou pagou qualquer compensação a qualquer ex-profissional. Na verdade, ninguém jamais exigiu tais coisas, uma vez que essas mulheres, que com razão ou sem razão eram vistas como colaboradoras nos países ocupados, nunca encontraram nenhum apoiador ou defensor". -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, Universidade de Varsóvia

The amount of tritium is much lower than other countries. China and South Korea has been releasing much more radioactive material into the sea and the air. The content of tritium in the treated water is one seventh of drinking water. If you have a beef with it, why don't you tell it to the IAEA? Japan should follow the IAEAs policy.

  1206. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

Dutch government officially announced that “Dutch government regards the Comfort system primarily as pros**tution.” -Dutch government 1994 — The Bart von Poelgeest Report The study by Dr. Poelgeest, then an officer of the Ministry of Interior of the Netherlands, was commissioned by the Dutch government in 1993. It is a comprehensive report on the recruitment, voluntary, of European women for pros***ution in the Dutch East Indies during the Japanese occupation in World War II. It also briefly touches upon recruitment of local women although that is not the focus of the study. There was nothing in the report to indicate a policy or practice of mass abdu*ction of women, European or locals, as comfort women. During the war in China in the 1930s, the occurrence of venereal disease among the troops had led to problems with deployment and the Japanese military forces therefore decided to set up military brothels as a preventive measure. In addition to local women, Japanese and Korean women – Korea being part of the Japanese Empire – were recruited for the brothels in China. In practice, it was the local military commanders who had to draw up regulations on the establishment of military brothels in their territory. The chief of staff of the 16th army on Java and thus head of the military administration there decided that a license was required for the establishment of a military brothel. A license was issued only if certain conditions were met, relating to, for example, regular medical check-ups and payment. A further precondition was that the women working in the brothels had to do so voluntarily; according to the regulations, a license would only be issued if the women involved signed a statement to the effect that they were providing their service voluntarily.”

U.S. Soldiers and South Korea’s “Western Princesses( Comfort Women) When President Park Chung-hee seized power through a military coup in 1961, he initiated a “social purification drive” that included a “pros**ution prevention law.” However, rather than eliminate pros**tution, Park instead created 104 special pros**tution districts, being desperate to retain the cash that American soldiers would otherwise spend in Japan. Referred to as “Yankee Princesses” or “Western Princesses,” women who worked in these districts were lectured to by Korean university professors, who lauded them for helping to accrue “precious foreign currency for the nation’s economic development” and for performing “patriotic” work.

In January 2009, a group of former pros**tutes(Comfort women) in South Korea accused some of their country’s former leaders of encouraging them to have se*x with American soldiers, and taking a direct hand in the se*x trade from the 1960s through the 1980s, including the building of a testing and treatment system to ensure that the pros**tutes were disease-free for the American troops. “Our government was one big pimp for the U.S. military,” one of the women, Kim Ae-ran, stated

  1212. 1959 Oct 19 Donga Ilbo - "66% of Comfort Women Infected" October 19, 1959 ab article from the South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo. It is entitled "66% of Comfort Women Infected--Results of a Nationwide Testing of Female Entertainers." The article talks about how nationwide 392,707 female entertainers, including 261,089 comfort women, were tested for venereal disease over a 1-year period. The article is evidence that in 1959 Korea was registering women to be "comfort women," which was a euphemism for "military prostitute." Korea was registering women to be pros***utes for UN soldiers stationed in Korea. The 261,089 comfort woment mentioned in the article is evidence that Korea had a significant number of comfort women, of which 66.4% were infected with a veneral disease. In the 1990s South Koreans begin criticizing Japan for its comfort women system in World War II, but have hardly said anything about its own comfort women system "If Koreans thoght the Japanese comfort women system was so bad, why did the Korean Government set up a similar 'comfort women' system for UN soldiers after the Japanese left Korea?"

She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war.

Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121.

Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council.

  1224.  @solattes  The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abd*ucted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council. They are swi*ndlers"

  1226. The Japanese government paid 2.5 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government is trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995(Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros***utes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace.

  1227. Kore otoritesi diyor ki: “Rahat bir kadın olmak temelde bir meslektir. Onların işi para kazanmak için cinsel hizmetler sunmaktı. Kadınlar yasal izin almadan bu işi yapmak için konfor istasyonlarına gidemezler. Onlar sadece götürülmezler. Çoğu durumda, kendi özgür iradeleri olmasa da babaları ve anneleri tarafından satıldılar. Bunun nedeni, rahat bir kadın olmak ya da bir cinsel hizmet işletmecisi için çalışmak için bir sözleşmenin kesinlikle gerekli olmasıdır. Sözleşme, yasal bir vasi tarafından imzalanmış yazılı onay gerektirir. Yasal vasi bir ebeveyn veya aile üyesi olabilir. O günlerde, koruyucu babalar yasal vasi olarak kabul edildi. O günlerde koruyucu babalar tipik insan kaçakçılarıydı. Niçin? Çünkü ebeveynleri yasal olarak kadınların kontrolünü ele geçirebilecek şekilde oynadılar. Bunun için aile sicilinin resmi bir kopyası gerekliydi. Bu gerekliydi çünkü yasal vasinin kim olduğundan ve daha da önemlisi yaşın doğrulanması gerektiğinden emin olmak önemliydi. O günlerde, bir kadının fahişe olarak çalışmasına izin vermek için en az 17 yaşında olması gerekiyordu. 17 yaşın altındakilerin genelevlerde çalışmasına izin verilmedi. Sıkı oldu. Bununla birlikte, Moon Jae-in yönetimi, cinsiyet eşitliği ve aile Bakanlığı, Kore Konseyi tarafından figür haline getirilen KİM Bok-dong, 14 yaşında rahat bir kadın olmak için götürüldüğünü söyledi. Bu bir yalandır. Lee Yong-soo, iyi bildiğiniz gibi, Yoon Mi-hyang tarafından yazılmış bir kitapta yer alan” uyurken geceleri Japon ordusu tarafından götürüldüğünde 14 yaşındaydı". Bu bir yalandır. İlk ifadesinde Lee Yong-soo, kim bon adında bir arkadaşını takip ettiğini söylüyor-soon belli bir kişiyle tanışmak için. Bir çantada kırmızı bir elbise ve bir çift deri ayakkabı verildiğinde, çekiciliğini hissetmeden önce onlarla birlikte gitti. 14 yaşında olduğunu söyledi. LEE Yong-soo'nun yaşı sürekli değişiyor. 14, 15 ve 16 yaşında olduğunu ve ilk ifadesinde 14 yaşında olduğunu belirtti. Bu bir yalandır. 14 yaşında bir kız teselli edici bir kadın olamazdı. 15 yaşında bir kişi olarak çalışmak mümkün değildi. ROK şu anda bir yalan cenneti. 1960'lardan 1970'lere kadar, kırsal alanlardan gelen kadınlar Seul istasyonunda dolaşırken, birileri onlarla konuşmak için onlara her zaman yaklaştı. Sor, “aç Değil misin? Üşümüyor musun?” “Evet.""Neden benimle gelmiyorsun? Sana sıcak bir yerde yiyecek bir şeyler verebilirim.” Böylece kişiyi takip ettiler ve kendilerini kolayca hayal edebileceğiniz bir yerde buldular. Kadınları rahatlatmak için olan buydu. Ancak, hayat kadınlarına alınan yokken, tüccarlar, ya da pezevenkler bile, ebeveynler ve aile üyeleri ile birlikte ve peşin olarak sözleşme yaptı. Bu işverenden bir kredidir. KİM Hak-soon ilk olarak 14 Ağustos 1991'de rahat bir kadın olduğunu ifade etti. Aslında, o da 40 yen için üvey babası tarafından satın alındı. Annesi onu 40 yen'e sattı. KİM Hak-soon'un üvey babası ona bir akademide kisaeng eğitimi verdi ve ülke içinde iş yapmaya çalıştı, ancak yasal yaşın altında olduğu için yapamadı. Buna göre, onu Çin'e götürmek için, Kim'in annesine “onu Çin'e götürüp götüremeyeceğini” sordu. Kalkış sırasında, kim ifade verdi, annesi sarı bir kazak taşıyan, onu satmak için Pyongyang istasyonuna gitti. Şimdi, bu kadınların hiçbiri, KİM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KİL Won-ok veya KİM Bok-dong, ifadelerinde Japon ordusu tarafından alındıklarını söylemedi. Kore kadın Konseyi'nden Yoon Mi-hyang, cinsiyet eşitliği ve aile Bakanlığı ve Moon Jae-in'in hepsi yalan söylüyor. Hepiniz gerçeği bilmelisiniz. Burada bir açıklama yapmamızın nedeni, bu yalanların tüm ROK'U doldurması, Kore halkı arasında çatışmaya ve bölünmeye neden olmasıdır. Bu yalan, Japonya'yı Güney Kore ile ilişkilerini koparmaya zorluyor. Doğru tarihi bilmeliyiz. Doğru tarihi bilerek, insanların düşüncesi bir olacaktır. O anlamda , "nefret ve çatışmayı simgeleyen konfor kadın Heykeli”, "yalanları ve uydurmayı simgeleyen bu rahat kadın Heykeli” kesinlikle kaldırılması gerekir.” - Kore tarihi Ders Kitabı Araştırma Enstitüsü Müdürü

The same goes for Japanese women, elderly, disabled, and any other non-combatants. Even if you don’t hold this as an absolute principle, most people hold it as a pretty firm rule. To justify the bombing, you need to scuttle this principle in exchange for consequentialist thinking. With a principle as strong as “don’t murder kids” I think you’d need a lot more certainty than Truman could have had. - ‘It wasn’t necessary to hit them with that awful thing’ --- Why dropping the A-Bombs was wrong By Timothy P.

  1236. В 1965 году корейское правительство Пак Чон Хи подписало договор с Японией, нормализующий отношения между двумя странами. По договору Южная Корея получила очень большие суммы экономической помощи, грантов, займов и, что немаловажно, компенсации жертвам японского владычества. (Правительство Японии в качестве компенсации заплатило в 3 раза больше национального бюджета, но 40 лет держало это в секрете в Корее, чтобы разжечь ненависть к Японии, и правительство Кореи продолжает попытки скрыть правду. Хотя все индивидуальные претензии были урегулированы в Договоре между Японией и Южной Кореей 1965 года, японское правительство все же несколько раз предлагало корейским женщинам компенсацию в качестве доброго жеста. Однако, когда Япония предложила компенсацию через Фонд азиатских женщин в 1995 году (компенсация пришла с личным письмом с извинениями от премьер-министра Японии), южнокорейская НПО пригрозила бывшим женщинам для утех, чтобы они не приняли извинения Японии и компенсацию. 61 из тех, кто нарушил приказ НПО, был признан предателем, их имена и адреса были опубликованы в газетах как проститутки, и им пришлось прожить остаток своей жизни в позоре. Правительство Южной Кореи подписало японо-корейское соглашение по вопросу о женщинах для утех в 2015 году, и японское правительство выплатило 1 миллиард долларов в качестве искупительных денег бывшим корейским женщинам для утех. Однако администрация корейского Мун Чжэ Ина в 2018 году отказалась от соглашения без какого-либо уведомления. Объявление о роспуске абсолютно неприемлемо для Японии. В то время как правительство Республики Корея, включая президента Мун Чжэ Ина, неоднократно публично заявляло, что «не откажется от соглашения» и «не будет требовать повторных переговоров с Японией») - Японское правительство в то время (1965 г.) предлагало выплатить компенсацию отдельным жертвам, но правительство Южной Кореи отклонило это предложение и настаивало на том, чтобы оно получило все деньги и само выплатило компенсацию своим гражданам. Очень небольшая часть этих денег (всего 250 долларов США) была выплачена физическим лицам и вместо этого была использована на экономическое развитие Южной Кореи. Японское правительство принесло извинения за свою систему женщин для утех (которая на самом деле была расширением системы лицензированной проституции, которая существовала как в Корее, так и в Японии до войны и в которой участвовало большое количество японских проституток, а также проституток из других стран), Германия никогда не извинялся и не платил никакой компенсации бывшим проституткам. Фактически, никто никогда не требовал ничего подобного, поскольку эти женщины, которых справедливо или ошибочно считали коллаборационистами в оккупированных странах, никогда не находили сторонников или защитников ». -Профессор Анджей Козловский, Варшавский университет

  1237. Корейские власти заявляют. "Быть женщиной для утех - это, по сути, профессия. Их работа заключалась в предложении сексуальных услуг с целью заработать деньги. Женщины не могут посещать станции утешения для выполнения этой работы без законного разрешения. Их не просто забирают. В большинстве случаев их продавали отцы и матери, если не по собственной воле. Причина в том, что для того, чтобы стать "женщиной для утех" или работать на оператора бизнеса сексуальных услуг, абсолютно необходим контракт. Контракт требует письменного согласия, подписанного законным опекуном. Законным опекуном может быть родитель или член семьи. В те времена приемных отцов принимали в качестве законных опекунов. Приемные отцы в те времена были типичными торговцами людьми. Почему? Потому что они играли в родителей так, что могли законно распоряжаться женщинами. Для этого требовалась официальная копия семейного реестра. Это было необходимо, потому что нужно было удостовериться, кто является законным опекуном, и, что еще важнее, нужно было проверить возраст. В те времена женщине должно было быть не менее 17 лет, чтобы ей разрешили работать проституткой. Тем, кому было меньше 17 лет, вообще не разрешалось работать в борделях. Это было строго. Однако Ким Бок Дон, которую администрация Мун Чжэ Ина, Министерство гендерного равенства и семьи, Корейский совет сделали фигуранткой, заявила, что ее забрали в 14 лет, чтобы она стала "женщиной для утех". Это ложь. Ли Ён Су, как вы, возможно, хорошо знаете, "было 14 лет, когда ее забрала японская армия ночью, когда она спала", - так написано в книге, написанной Юн Ми Хян. Это ложь. В своих первоначальных показаниях Ли Ён Су говорит, что она последовала за подругой по имени Ким Бон Сун на встречу с определенным человеком. Когда ей дали красное платье и пару кожаных туфель в пакете, она почувствовала влечение и, не успев опомниться, пошла с ними. Она сказала, что ей было 14 лет. Возраст Ли Ен Су постоянно меняется. Она упоминала, что ей было 14, 15 и 16 лет, а в первоначальных показаниях ей было 14. Это ложь. 14-летняя девочка не могла быть утешительницей. Это было просто невозможно в 15 лет. В настоящее время РК является прибежищем лжи. В 1960-1970-х годах, когда женщины из сельской местности бродили по вокзалу Сеула, к ним всегда кто-нибудь подходил, чтобы поговорить. Они спрашивали: "Вы не голодны? Не холодно ли вам?" "Да". "Почему бы вам не пойти со мной? Я могу дать вам что-нибудь поесть в теплом месте". И они пошли за этим человеком и оказались в месте, которое вы легко можете себе представить. Именно это и произошло с женщинами для утех. Однако, когда женщин для утех увозили, торговцы, или сводники, заключали контракты с их родителями и членами семьи и платили вперед. Это кредит от работодателя. Ким Хак-сун впервые дала показания 14 августа 1991 года о том, что она была "женщиной для утех". На самом деле, она была куплена приемным отцом за 40 иен. Ее мать продала ее за 40 йен. Приемный отец Ким Хак Сун обучил ее кисэн в академии и попытался заняться бизнесом внутри страны, но не смог, так как она не достигла установленного законом возраста. Поэтому, чтобы увезти ее в Китай, он спросил у матери Ким, может ли он "отвезти ее в Китай", на что она дала согласие. Во время отъезда, по свидетельству КИМ, ее мать отправилась на вокзал Пхеньяна, чтобы продать ее, имея при себе желтый свитер. Ни одна из этих женщин, ни Ким Хак-сун, ни Ли Ен-су, ни Киль Вон-ок, ни Ким Бок-дон, не сказали в своих показаниях, что их забрала японская армия. Юн Ми Хян из Корейского совета по делам женщин-призывников, Министерство гендерного равенства и семьи и Мун Чжэ Ин - все они лгут. Все вы должны знать правду. Причина, по которой мы делаем здесь заявление, заключается в том, что эта ложь заполняет всю РК, вызывая конфликт и разделение между корейским народом. Ложь заставляет Японию разрывать отношения с Южной Кореей. Мы должны знать правильную историю. Зная правильную историю, народ будет мыслить едино. В этом смысле, "статуя женщины для утех, символизирующая ненависть и конфликт", "эта статуя женщины для утех, символизирующая ложь и фальсификацию" должны быть обязательно убраны". -Директор Научно-исследовательского института корейских учебников истории

  1238.  @ainadolgova4938  Заявление Коно было насильно изменено корейскими политиками, так как первоначальное заявление не соответствовало их намерениям. Заместитель секретаря японского правительства засвидетельствовал, что корейские политики попросили японское правительство: "После того, как Япония извинилась, мы больше никогда не просим извинений и компенсаций. Пожалуйста, извинитесь, чтобы построить лучшие отношения между Кореей и Японией". Заместитель секретаря с сожалением сказал: "Японское правительство было обмануто корейским правительством. Мы извинились безосновательно, не проведя должного расследования. В то время мы думали, что нам нужно немедленно бросить предполагаемым жертвам спасательный круг. Мы верили в веру корейского правительства, но добрые намерения японского правительства до них не дошли". -- Позиция правительства Японии в отношении этих претензий такова: ● "Насильственное изъятие" "Насильственное изъятие" женщин для утех японскими военными и правительственными властями не нашло подтверждения ни в одном из документов, которые удалось обнаружить правительству Японии. (Эта позиция изложена, например, в письменном ответе, утвержденном Кабинетом министров 16 декабря 1997 года, на вопрос члена Палаты представителей). ● "Секс-рабыни" Выражение "секс-рабыни" противоречит фактам, поэтому его не следует употреблять. Этот Этот момент был подтвержден с РК по случаю подписания соглашения между Японией и РК в декабре 2015 года, и выражение "секс-рабыни" не используется в соглашении. ● Цифры типа "200 000 человек" для общего числа женщин для утех Цифра "200 000 человек" не имеет конкретных доказательств. Как указано в отчете о результатах правительственного исследования от 4 августа 1993 года, определить общее число "женщин для утех" практически невозможно, поскольку не было найдено никаких документов, которые либо указывали бы на общее число, либо давали достаточные основания для установления оценки

  1239.  @ainadolgova4938  Правительство Японии официально заявило в парламенте, что ни в Японии, ни в Южной Корее нет доказательств "принудительной проституции женщин для утех". Несправедливость и выдуманность сути вопроса о женщинах для утех стали очевидны. Объективность обвинений в адрес Японии была опровергнута, а вымысел заявления Коно был поднят вновь. Вопрос о японских женщинах для утех был захвачен ложными свидетельствами и отчетами и использовался в качестве политической пропаганды, чтобы опорочить Японию в течение многих лет, но суть вымысла, "принудительная проституция", была вновь категорически опровергнута представителями японского правительства на официальном заседании парламента. В случае с проблемой "женщин для утех" газета "Асахи Симбун" широко распространила ложные показания человека по имени Сэйдзи Ёсида как факт, а утверждение о том, что "японские военные и правительственные власти систематически забирали обычных женщин из Китая, Кореи, Индонезии и других частей Азии и заставляли их становиться женщинами для утех для японских военных", стало основой для осуждения Японии. Это ложное утверждение стало основой для обвинений в адрес Японии. На основе этого ложного утверждения распространились вымышленные обвинения в адрес Японии, такие как "женщины для утех были сексуальными рабынями японских военных" и "всего было 200 000 женщин для утех, многие из которых подвергались насилию и даже массовым убийствам". Сенатор был язвителен по этому поводу, поставив основной вопрос следующим образом: "Прежде всего, Сэйдзи Ёсида, мошенник, который нагромождал ложь на ложь, создал ряд полностью вымышленных историй, таких как то, что он совершил акты насилия на Корейском полуострове, оторвал матерей от их младенцев и похитил около 1000 женщин для утех, и эта информация неоднократно распространялась на протяжении многих лет газетой "Асахи Симбун". Более 30 лет, вплоть до 2014 года, когда "Асахи Симбун" отменила по меньшей мере 18 статей, она публиковала ложную информацию, несправедливо порочащую Японию. Газета "Хоккайдо симбун", в которой печатался Ёсида Сэйдзи, также признала, что не провела подтверждающие интервью, принесла извинения и отменила восемь статей. Газета японской коммунистической партии "Акахата" также отменила три статьи и принесла извинения. Вот сколько статей было отменено после извинений. Кроме того, число неподтвержденных женщин для утех, показанное г-ном Нацумицу Чида в его книге, цитировалось учеными и исследователями без проверки, и внуки рисовались, что воспламенило общественное мнение Кореи и распространилось на ООН и международное общество. Мы считаем, что недопустимо повторять проигрыш в международной политике, в котором несправедливо обвиняют Японию." Приведенные выше высказывания сенаторов ясно указывают на несправедливость и вымышленный характер сути вопроса о женщинах для утех. Тот факт, что эти язвительные замечания были сделаны на главной сцене национальной политики, на заседании комитета Палаты советников, сам по себе является признаком обоснованности проблемы женщин для утех. Однако на принятие корректирующих мер по защите чести Японии ушло слишком много лет. Резкость слов сенатора свидетельствует о давнем гневе тех, кто был несправедливо опорочен.

  1240. She is lying. All the testimonies are coached by the comfort women organization. In fact, she was a professional hired by the Korean owner. There still remains the Korean owner's diary and lots of advertisements for comfort women. They made huge profit from operating comfort stations. At the time, the Japanese government was rather struggling to crack down on the illegal Korean brokers. Unfortunately, some of the comfort women were abused by the Korean owners, so Japanese government repeatedly apologised, paid large amounts of compensation and supported them, even though Japanese military didn’t coerce Korean women. However, the South Korean government did not give the money to the Korean women, but used all the money for its own economic development. Moreover,comfort women organization threatened Korean women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. Those who defied the organization’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. The leaders of the comfort women organization have been arrested as North Korean sp*ies. The notorious org is spreading lies worldwide, blocking reconciliation between Japan and Korea, so that they can continue comfort women propaganda.

In reality, it is deeper. The key player is increasingly not South Korea, but China, and the ultimate target is not Japan, but the United States, as the comfort women are co-opted by Beijing in its anti-American information war” “It is notable that several prominent persons connected with Korean Council, the most vocal comfort woman-related NGO in South Korea, have been arrested as North Korean sp*ies.”

  1242.  @dannychenski687  One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  1243. The Kono Statement was changed at the behest of South Korean politicians. The Japanese vice-minister testified that Korean politicians urged the Japanese government: "Once the Japanese government has apologised to Korea, it will never ask for apologies or compensation again. so we would like Japan to apologize to Korea for the sake of building better relations between Korea and Japan.” The vice-minister, looking back on those days, regretfully said. "The Japanese government was deceived by the Korean government. We did not conduct a proper investigation and made an unfounded apology. At the time, we believed that the testimonies of the alleged victims should be trusted and that help should be given immediately. We believed in sincerity of the Korean government, but the good intention of the Japanese government was not conveyed to Korea.”

  1244. As academics, we are used to dealing with exagge:rations. We are not used to finding that the story is pure fiction. But that is the nature of the comfort-women-se*x-slave story. It’s been a bizarrely unending story. Elderly Korean women claim to have been forced at Japanese bayonet-point to work as sex slaves. The Japanese government replies that the Korean government waived claims like this by treaty in 1965. But it expresses sympathy anyway, and offers more money. Koreans still complain. The Japanese government apologizes again, offers more money, and the Korean government promises never to raise the question again. Then a new political party takes power, declares the Japanese apology insincere, and starts the process all over again. Expressing sympathy to elderly women who have had a rough life is fine. Paying money to an ally in order to rebuild a stable relationship is fine. But the claims about enslaved Korean comfort women are historically untrue. The Japanese army did not dragoon Korean women to work in its brothels. It did not use Korean women as s*ex slaves. The claims to the contrary are simply ー factually ー false. -HARVARD university JOHN M. OLIN CENTER FOR LAW, ECONOMICS, AND BUSINESS

  1248. U.S. Soldiers and South Korea’s “Western Princesses” When President Park Chung-hee seized power through a military coup in 1961, he initiated a “social purification drive” that included a “pros**tution prevention law.” However, rather than eliminate pros**tution, Park instead created 104 special pros*+tution districts, being desperate to retain the cash that American soldiers would otherwise spend in Japan. Referred to as “Yankee Princesses” or “Western Princesses,” women who worked in these districts were lectured to by Korean university professors, who lauded them for helping to accrue “precious foreign currency for the nation’s economic development” and for performing “patriotic” work.

  1250. Le testimonianze delle ex donne di conforto sono incoerenti, poiché sono state formate dall'organizzazione estremamente di sinistra. In un'intervista con la professoressa Chunghee Sarah Soh della San Francisco State University, una ex donna di conforto coreana, Kim Sun-ok, ha detto di essere stata venduta dai suoi genitori quattro volte. Tuttavia, ha testimoniato davanti alla relatrice speciale dell'ONU Radhika Coomaraswamy di essere stata rapita dall'esercito giapponese. ⚫︎ In un'intervista con il professor Park dell'Università di Sejong in Corea del Sud, una ex donna di conforto coreana, Bae Chun-hee, ha detto di odiare il padre che l'ha venduta. Ha detto che gli uomini che reclutavano le donne coreane e gestivano le stazioni di conforto erano "TUTTI COREANI", e che le donne coreane che hanno testimoniato davanti al relatore speciale dell'ONU hanno mentito per conto del Consiglio coreano. ⚫︎ Una ex donna di conforto coreana, Mun Oku-chu, ha detto nel suo libro di memorie: "Sono stato reclutato dal proprietario di una stazione di conforto coreana. Ho risparmiato una quantità considerevole di denaro dalle mance, quindi ho aperto un conto di risparmio. Non potevo credere di poter avere così tanti soldi nel mio conto di risparmio. Uno dei miei amici collezionava un sacco di gioielli, così sono andato a comprare un diamante. Andavo spesso a vedere film giapponesi e spettacoli Kabuki dove gli attori venivano dal Giappone continentale. Sono diventata una donna popolare a Rangoon. C'erano molti più ufficiali a Rangoon che vicino alla linea del fronte, così sono stato invitato a molte feste. Ho cantato canzoni alle feste e ho ricevuto molte mance. Ho indossato un paio di tacchi alti, un cappotto verde e una borsa di pelle di coccodrillo. Mi sono pavoneggiata con un vestito alla moda. Nessuno in città poteva immaginare che ero una donna di conforto. Mi sono sentito molto felice e orgoglioso. Ho ricevuto il permesso di tornare a casa, ma non volevo tornare in Corea. Volevo rimanere a Rangoon. Secondo il professor Ahn Byong Jik dell'Università di Seoul, Mun Oku-chu ha continuato a lavorare come prostituta in Corea dopo la guerra. Tuttavia, ha testimoniato alla relatrice speciale delle Nazioni Unite Radhika Coomaraswamy di essere stata rapita dall'esercito giapponese. ⚫︎ In un'intervista al giornale coreano The Hankyoreh (l'articolo è stato pubblicato il 15 maggio 1991), una ex donna di conforto coreana, Kim Hak-sun, ha detto di essere stata venduta da sua madre. Nel 1993, Kim Hak-sun disse al professor Ahn Byong Jik dell'Università di Seul: "Mia madre mi ha mandato ad addestrarsi come Kiseng a Pyongyang e poi mi ha venduto". Tuttavia, ha testimoniato alla relatrice speciale delle Nazioni Unite Radhika Coomaraswamy di essere stata rapita dall'esercito giapponese. ⚫︎ Nel 1993, una ex donna di conforto coreana, Kim Gun-ja, disse al professor Ahn Byong Jik dell'Università di Seul: "Il mio padre adottivo mi ha venduto". Tuttavia, ha testimoniato davanti alla relatrice speciale dell'ONU Radhika Coomaraswamy di essere stata rapita dall'esercito giapponese. Kim Gun-ja ha anche testimoniato davanti alla commissione affari esteri della Camera degli Stati Uniti nel 2007 e ha detto di essere stata rapita dall'esercito giapponese. ⚫︎ Nel 1993, una ex donna di conforto coreana, Lee Yong-soo, disse al professor Ahn Byong Jik dell'Università di Seul: "A quel tempo ero vestita male e miserabile. Il giorno in cui sono uscita di casa con la mia amica Kim Pun-sun senza dirlo a mia madre: indossavo una gonna nera, una camicia di cotone e zoccoli di legno ai piedi. Non sai quanto ero felice quando ho ricevuto un vestito rosso e un paio di scarpe di pelle da un reclutatore coreano. Tuttavia, ha testimoniato davanti al relatore speciale delle Nazioni Unite Radhika Coomaraswamy di essere stata rapita dall'esercito giapponese. Lee Yong-soo ha anche testimoniato davanti alla commissione affari esteri della Camera degli Stati Uniti nel 2007. Le è stato detto che aveva cinque minuti per parlare. Ha ignorato le istruzioni e ha continuato per più di un'ora a piangere e urlare. La sua falsa testimonianza ha portato al passaggio della Risoluzione 121 della Camera degli Stati Uniti. Nel 2017, Lee Yong-soo ha dato una falsa testimonianza davanti al consiglio comunale di San Francisco, che ha portato all'erezione di una statua di donne di conforto in quella città. ⚫︎ Secondo la professoressa Chunghee Sarah Soh della San Francisco State University, una ex donna di conforto coreana Moon Pil-ki fu reclutata dall'agente di un proprietario di una stazione di conforto coreana e portata in Manciuria con altre quattro donne. Tuttavia, ha testimoniato davanti al relatore speciale dell'ONU Radhika Coomaraswamy di essere stata rapita dall'esercito giapponese. ⚫︎ Nel 1993, una ex donna di conforto coreana, Kil Won-ok, disse al professor Ahn Byong Jik dell'Università di Seul: "I miei genitori mi hanno venduto". Tuttavia, ha testimoniato alla relatrice speciale delle Nazioni Unite Radhika Coomaraswamy di essere stata rapita dall'esercito giapponese. ⚫︎ Secondo diversi testimoni, il Consiglio Coreano (gruppo attivista pro-Nord) ha dato istruzioni alle donne di dire "sono stata rapita dall'esercito giapponese". Il professor Ahn Byong Jik dell'Università di Seul dice: "Quando ho intervistato le ex donne di conforto all'inizio degli anni '90, nessuna di loro aveva niente di male da dire sull'esercito giapponese. Odiavano i loro genitori che li avevano venduti e i proprietari delle stazioni di conforto coreane che li maltrattavano. Ma dopo che il Consiglio coreano li ha messi sul loro libro paga, le loro testimonianze sono cambiate completamente". ⚫︎ Una ex donna di conforto coreana, Sim Mi-ja, che ha rifiutato di essere sul libro paga del Consiglio coreano, ha detto: "Le donne coreane, che hanno testimoniato davanti al relatore speciale delle Nazioni Unite, hanno mentito per conto del Consiglio coreano.

  1251.  @claudel1027  A Taiwanese eye witness commenting about the time when Taiwan was under the rule of Japan. "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a war crim*inal. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

  1252. "Einer der am häufigsten wiederholten und am meisten verzerrten Mythen über Japans angebliche Verbrechen gegen Korea betrifft die sogenannten" Trostfrauen ". Schließlich zu den Behauptungen, dass Deutschland für seine Verbrechen ordnungsgemäß „gesühnt“ hat, während Japan dies nicht getan hat. Lassen Sie mich nur einen Aspekt betrachten. 1965 unterzeichnete die koreanische Regierung von Park Chung-hee einen Vertrag mit Japan, der die Beziehungen zwischen den beiden Ländern normalisierte. Im Rahmen des Vertrags erhielt Südkorea sehr große Beträge an wirtschaftlicher Hilfe, Zuschüssen, Darlehen und vor allem Entschädigungen für Opfer der japanischen Herrschaft. (Die japanische Regierung zahlte das 2,5-fache des Staatshaushalts als Entschädigung, hielt es jedoch 40 Jahre in Korea geheim, um Hass gegen Japan zu schüren, und die koreanische Regierung versucht weiterhin, die Wahrheit zu verbergen. Obwohl alle Einzelansprüche im Japan-Südkorea-Vertrag von 1965 geregelt waren, bot die japanische Regierung den koreanischen Frauen als gute Geste noch mehrmals eine Entschädigung an. Als Japan 1995 eine Entschädigung durch den Asian Women's Fund anbot (die Entschädigung kam mit einem persönlichen Entschuldigungsschreiben des japanischen Premierministers), drohte die südkoreanische NGO ehemaligen Trostfrauen, Japans Entschuldigung und die Entschädigung nicht zu akzeptieren. 61 derjenigen, die sich der Anordnung der NGO widersetzten, wurden als Verräter verifiziert, ihre Namen und Adressen wurden als Prostituierte in Zeitungen veröffentlicht und sie mussten den Rest ihres Lebens in Ungnade leben.) - - Die japanische Regierung bot zu dieser Zeit an, einzelne Opfer zu entschädigen, aber die südkoreanische Regierung lehnte das Angebot ab und bestand darauf, dass sie das gesamte Geld erhalten und ihre Bürger selbst entschädigen sollte. Sehr wenig von diesem Geld (nur USD 250 pro Person) wurde an Einzelpersonen gezahlt und stattdessen für die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung Südkoreas verwendet. Die japanische Regierung hat sich für ihr Trostfrauen-System entschuldigt (das eigentlich eine Erweiterung des lizenzierten Prostitutionssystems war, das vor dem Krieg sowohl in Korea als auch in Japan existierte und an dem eine große Anzahl japanischer Prostituierter sowie aus anderen Ländern beteiligt war) hat sich nie bei ehemaligen Prostituierten entschuldigt oder eine Entschädigung gezahlt. Tatsächlich hat niemand jemals solche Dinge gefordert, da diese Frauen, die zu Recht oder zu Unrecht als Kollaborateure in den besetzten Ländern angesehen wurden, niemals Unterstützer oder Verteidiger gefunden haben. “ -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, Universität Warschau

  1253. 1959 Oct 19 Donga Ilbo - "66% of Comfort Women Infected" October 19, 1959 ab article from the South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo. It is entitled "66% of Comfort Women Infected--Results of a Nationwide Testing of Female Entertainers." The article talks about how nationwide 392,707 female entertainers, including 261,089 comfort women, were tested for venereal disease over a 1-year period. The article is evidence that in 1959 Korea was registering women to be "comfort women," which was a euphemism for "military prostitute." Korea was registering women to be prostitutes for UN soldiers stationed in Korea. The 261,089 comfort woment mentioned in the article is evidence that Korea had a significant number of comfort women, of which 66.4% were infected with a veneral disease. In the 1990s South Koreans begin criticizing Japan for its comfort women system in World War II, but have hardly said anything about its own comfort women system "If Koreans thoght the Japanese comfort women system was so bad, why did the Korean Government set up a similar 'comfort women' system for UN soldiers after the Japanese left Korea?"

"Japonya'nın Kore'ye karşı işlediği iddia edilen suçlarla ilgili en sık tekrarlanan ve en çarpık efsanelerden biri, sözde “konfor kadınları" ile ilgilidir” Almanya Japonya doğru olmasa da “suçlarını telafi” olduğunu sonunda hakkındaki iddialar. Sadece bir yönü düşünmeme izin verin. 1965'te Kore hükümeti Park Chung-hee, iki ülke arasındaki ilişkileri normalleştiren Japonya ile bir anlaşma imzaladı. Antlaşma uyarınca Güney Kore, Japon egemenliğinin kurbanları için çok büyük miktarda ekonomik yardım, hibe, kredi ve önemli ölçüde tazminat aldı. (Japon hükümeti ulusal bütçenin 2,5 katını tazminat olarak ödedi, ancak Kore'de 40 yıl boyunca Japonya'ya karşı nefreti kışkırtmak için gizli tuttu ve Kore hükümeti gerçeği gizlemeye devam ediyor. Tüm bireysel iddialar 1965 Japonya-Güney Kore Antlaşması'nda çözülmesine rağmen, Japon hükümeti Koreli kadınlara birkaç kez iyi bir jest olarak tazminat teklif etti. Bununla birlikte, Japonya 1995 yılında Asya kadın Fonu aracılığıyla tazminat teklif ettiğinde(tazminat, Japonya Başbakanı'ndan kişisel bir özür mektubu ile geldi), Güney Koreli STK, eski konfor kadınlarını Japonya'nın özürünü ve tazminatını kabul etmemekle tehdit etti. STK'NIN emrine meydan okuyanların 61'i hain olarak doğrulandı, isimleri ve adresleri gazetelerde fahişe olarak yayınlandı ve hayatlarının geri kalanını utanç içinde yaşamak zorunda kaldılar. Güney Kore hükümeti, 2015 yılında konfor kadınları konusunda Japonya-Kore anlaşması imzaladı ve Japon hükümeti eski Koreli konfor kadınlarına kefaret parası olarak 1 milyar dolar ödedi. Ancak, Kore Moon Jae In yönetimi, 2018'de herhangi bir bildirimde bulunmaksızın anlaşmayı terk etti. Fesih duyurusu Japonya için tamamen kabul edilemez. Cumhurbaşkanı Moon Jae-in de dahil olmak üzere ROK Hükümeti, defalarca “anlaşmayı terk etmeyeceğini” ve “Japonya ile yeniden müzakere istemeyeceğini " belirtti”) - O sırada Japon hükümeti bireysel kurbanları telafi etmeyi teklif etti, ancak Güney Kore hükümeti teklifi reddetti ve tüm parayı alması ve vatandaşlarını telafi etmesi konusunda ısrar etti. Bu paranın çok azı (sadece 250 ABD doları) bireylere ödendi ve bunun yerine Güney Kore'nin ekonomik gelişimi için kullanıldı. Japon hükümeti, konfor kadın sistemi için özür diledi (aslında savaştan önce hem Kore hem de Japonya'da var olan ve çok sayıda Japon fahişenin yanı sıra diğer ülkelerden gelenleri de içeren lisanslı fuhuş sisteminin bir uzantısıydı), Almanya hiçbir zaman özür dilemedi veya eski fahişelere herhangi bir tazminat ödemedi. Aslında, hiç kimse böyle bir şey talep etmedi, çünkü işgal altındaki ülkelerde haklı ya da yanlış bir şekilde işbirlikçi olarak görülen bu kadınlar hiçbir zaman destekçi ya da savunucu bulamadılar” - Profesör Andrzej Kozlowski, Varşova Üniversitesi

Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses.

The footage filmed on Aug 15th, 1992 at KBS. That seems a little bit ironic that the announcer reconfirmed that she became Comfort Woman NOT because she was abd*ucted by force by Imperial Japanese Army, but she just followed a man by her own will. —— ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121.

Some of the women that were ra*ped or experienced sex*ual violence were as young as 【12 or 13 】at the time, and more than 800 victims are still alive. Today, as a result of the ra*pe and sexual violence that took place, tens of thousands of young adults of mixed Vietnamese-Korean heritage live in the shadows of Vietnamese society. Many of the Lai Dai Han and their families live in severe poverty, cannot read or write and do not have access to social services, such as healthcare and education.

  1272.  @민하-b5y  1959 Oct 19 Donga Ilbo - "66% of Comfort Women Infected" October 19, 1959 ab article from the South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo. It is entitled "66% of Comfort Women Infected--Results of a Nationwide Testing of Female Entertainers." The article talks about how nationwide 392,707 female entertainers, including 261,089 comfort women, were tested for venereal disease over a 1-year period. The article is evidence that in 1959 Korea was registering women to be "comfort women," which was a euphemism for "military pros**tute." Korea was registering women to be pros***utes for UN soldiers stationed in Korea. The 261,089 comfort woment mentioned in the article is evidence that Korea had a significant number of comfort women, of which 66.4% were infected with a veneral disease. In the 1990s South Koreans begin criticizing Japan for its comfort women system in World War II, but have hardly said anything about its own comfort women system "If Koreans thoght the Japanese comfort women system was so bad, why did the Korean Government set up a similar 'comfort women' system for UN soldiers after the Japanese left Korea?"

The title of the article reads "6,000-plus Hostesses," but it should read "9,000-plus. Of 6,000-plus Hostesses, 3,000-plus Have VD in Busan The April test results done on 9,642 entertainers in Busan show that 6,268 tested healthy, but 3,374 tested positive for venereal disease (VD), which is 35% of the total. Those tested were 1,020 dances, 5,445 comfort women, 1,212 hostesses, 1,182 unlicensed pros**tutes, and 783 others. It shows the most common VD was gonorrhea with 2,247 (21.9%) women testing positive. Next was syphilis with 920 women testing positive. 548 others had something else.

  1274.  @민하-b5y  There were full of pro**itutes in Korea so the IJA didn’t need to kid*nap Korean women. 1925 May 11 - "Local Color" This May 11, 1925 article is from the Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo and is entitled, "Local Color." The reporter is describing the Korean city of Cheongjin in North Hamgyeong Province. Local Color If you walk down a Korean street in this city, the first thing you notice after one or two houses are signs that say “Boarding House,” “Restaurant,” and “Pawn Shop.” And in every alley you see places with such names as “Seoul House” and “Daegu House” that sell rice wine. You also see many pros**tutes in heavy makeup going in and out the doors. However, rather than seeing these establishments as promoting immorality, I see them as places that necessarily exist to provide natural, temporary relief to an increasingly large number of laborers. Speaking of pros**tutes, scores of Korean and Japanese bordellos fill Bukseong-jeong (part of the port city of Cheongjin in Northern Hamgyeong Province ) and have become the town’s specialty product. Whenever military ships, which allow no women onboard, enter the port, it is said that dozens and dozens of sailors race ashore, completely turning the port into a “City of Flesh.” Even when there are no military ships in port, it is said that the streets are bustling with nightlife as sailors are always coming and going. Most of the buildings along the street are Japanese style. Many of the people on the streets wear Western suits. Hundreds of people leave and enter the city each day. Even many of the locals seem to be wearing Western suits. You hear auctioneers shouting, “five cheon, ten cheon,” and you also hear, “Let’s play, let’s play.” You hear, “The Social system is blah, blah, blah,” and you also hear, “Amen.” All parts of the new and old worlds are represented on the streets of this city.

  1275. The many contemporaneous records of the allied forces at the end of the war clearly identify comfort women as contract pros**tutes Operators are listed as civilians. Countrymen are identified as Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese. There is no mention of any comfort station operated by military personnel. All comfort stations with Korean women were operated by Koreans, Japanese women by Japanese. ⚫︎MANILA: “Persons receiving permission to open business comfort station will submit copy of personal histories of employees “Permission is necessary before anyone joins the establishment.” ⚫︎SHANGHAI SECTOR: “The pros***utes will possess licenses….” “Unlicensed pros***utes are strictly prohibited from plying their trade.” “The pros***utes and the operator will share equally the proceeds of the work done by the pros***utes.” ⚫︎Tacloban Brothel Regulations,” undated: “Places called brothels in these regulations are special brothels operated with Filipino women (licensed pros***ution).” —- “Lila Pilipina is the same group that brought South Korean comfort women activism to the Philippines in the 1990s.

  1283. This vicious comfort women organization ”Korean council” is spreading the comfort women lies and anti-Japanese propaganda not only in Korea but all over the world. Their tactics is visiting Asian countries such as the Philippines and luring elderly women in this way. "If you testify that you were forcibly taken by Japanese soldiers, you can get money from the Japanese government, so please come forward.” And poor Asian women gave false testimonies for money. In reality, most of them were voluntary professionals or were sold by their parents, and the Korean owners made huge profits by running the comfort stations. The Japanese government was deceived by their lies and apologized many times and paid a large amount of compensation. However, the Korean comfort women organization threatened the Korean women to prevent them from receiving the money. If they really don't want the money, then why are the representatives of the comfort women organisation being prosecuted for embezzling donations? Where did the Japanese taxpayers' money go?

Why did the US and allied forces concluded that the comfort women were prost_tutes when they were enemies at the time, were desperately looking for dirt on Japan and investigated if there’s se_x slaves at the comfort stations?

  1288. [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

  1289. Lee Young-hoon, Korean professor of Seoul National University says “It is an internationally well-known fact that SK has a culture of lies. In 2014 1,400 persons were prosecuted for perjury, 172 times the Japanese equivalent (or 430 times, if population difference is taken into account). There were 1,250 times as many charges stemming from false accusations than in Japan. Insurance fraud is rampant; in 2014 total insurance fraud amounted to 4.5 trillion won, 100 times the US figure” These figures alone give a clear picture of the nature of disputes between Japan and Korea.

  1297. Actually, At that time Koreans were fighting in the war together as volunteer soldiers. So they themselves were Japanese soldiers. But since Japan lost the war, they spread all sorts of lies to discredit Japan to the world. The Japanese government was deceived by their lies and apologised many times and paid huge compensation. The Korean government said they would give it to the survivors, but they lied and spent it all on their own economic development. Recently, the Korean courts have ruled that the issue is a DOMESTIC matter for Korea.

  1298. The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abd*ucted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council. They are swi*ndlers"

  1299. Kim said she has never received an apology from Japan, which is a flat-out lie. The truth is that comfort women's organization “Korean council” embezzle donations, force comfort women to lie, obstruct reconciliation with Japan, so that they can continue the comfort women propaganda. Japanese government was deceived and has apologized many times and paid huge amounts of compensation to the Korean women, but the Korean government has not given it to the women. *Japan-South Korea Treaty of 1965 During treaty negotiations, the Japanese government asked the S Korean government to identify and separate individual claims from the treaty because the Japanese government wanted to make sure the survivors received compensation. The South Korean government declined and accepted the entire sum of 800 million dollars (over ten billion dollars in today's money) in place of its citizens and spent all of it on infrastructures. Therefore it is not reasonable for the South Korean government to keep asking for additional compensation from Japan. *South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan” And their claim that they were forced into pros**tution is also a lie. A Korean professor interviewed the Korean women in 2003. After the interview professor commented: “I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean spi*es) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.”

  1300. Korean authorities say “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  1301. There existed at that time women called “Comfort Women”. There existed in the world women who had misfortune to be in pros**tution because of poverty or of any other reasons. But the fact that Japan as a state power forced women into pros**tution did not exist. Not to speak of abd*uction of about 200 thousand young women loaded in trucks heading for fields of battle. It’s absolutely fictitious since there is no evidence wherever people go to look for. If such abd*uction had happened in Korea at that time, there would have been riots since 80 % of police officers were Koreans. The Comfort Women issue began with a lie which has been strengthened by those who take profit from this lie, helped by awkward explanations of Japanese government.

  1302. Korean scholar testified: “I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council (Comfort women’s organization) to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros*tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean sp ies) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.” - Comfort Women Articles by Scholars

  1303. The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abd*ucted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council. They are swi*ndlers"

  1305.  @rinriveria1539  Dutch government officially announced that “Dutch government regards the Comfort women system primarily as pros**tution.” 1994 — The Bart von Poelgeest Report “The study by Dr. Poelgeest, then an officer of the Ministry of Interior of the Netherlands, was commissioned by the Dutch government in 1993. It is a comprehensive report on the recruitment, voluntary, of European women for pros**tution in the Dutch East Indies during the Japanese occupation in World War II. It also briefly touches upon recruitment of local women although that is not the focus of the study. There was nothing in the report to indicate a policy or practice of mass abd*uction of women, European or locals, as comfort women.” “During the war in China in the 1930s, the occurrence of venereal disease among the troops had led to problems with deployment and the Japanese military forces therefore decided to set up military brothels as a preventive measure. In addition to local women, Japanese and Korean women – Korea being part of the Japanese Empire – were recruited for the brothels in China.” “There’s no mass abdu*ction” ‪”Korean couple had lured European women to the establishment under false pretences.” “In practice, it was the local military commanders who had to draw up regulations on the establishment of military brothels in their territory. The chief of staff of the 16th army on Java and thus head of the military administration there decided that a license was required for the establishment of a military brothel. A license was issued only if certain conditions were met, relating to, for example, regular medical check-ups and payment. A further precondition was that the women working in the brothels had to do so voluntarily; according to the regulations, a license would only be issued if the women involved signed a statement to the effect that they were providing their service voluntarily.”

  1306. -Coaching comfort women and stage-managing testimonies at the UN Tachi saw one other important thing during the UN conference. When she got lost and was wandering through the huge building where the meeting was taking place, she stumbled upon a room where people were gathering. Here, former comfort women who were testifying on a stage were being prompted and trained on how to deliver their lines. Unsurprisingly, the people who were stage-managing the whole operation were Japanese women (naturalized ethnic Korean lawmaker and activists close tie with communists). In this manner, the former comfort women were being trained as living witnesses to serve the movement.

  1311.  @dionysus4778  “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman.

  1314. Japanese government apologized and compensated to the former military pros**tutes. Asian Women's Fund was established by the Japanese government in 1995. (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan) As for Korean women, although they were not coerced by the Japanese military and all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered Asian Women's Fund to Korean women as a good gesture. Ironically every nation involved except South Korea accepted compensation through Asian Women's Fund and reconciled with Japan. (Note: The South Korean government and Korean women wanted to accept Asian Women's Fund as well, but the anti-Japanese activist group thre*atened Korean women not to accept Japan's apology and compensation so that it could continue its anti-Japanese propaganda campaign. So most Korean women could not accept Japan's apology and compensation.)

  1322. [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office." The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

  1323. What are you talking about? A professor at the University of Warsaw says that the comfort women story is a fraud. If you want to compare them, they are not Polish, they are Austrian. Many of the Koreans volunteered to fight with the Japanese army. And 80% of the governors and police in Korea were Koreans. Moreover, since Korea was not a battlefield, there were few Japanese soldiers left in Korea. The diary of the Korean comfort station manager still remains, and if you search, you can find many newspaper advertisements of comfort women by Korean owners.

  1324. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen.

  1326. That’s one of the reason that they had to give false testimonies: This issue was caused by the vulnerable pension system in SK. — According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached the women to say "I was abdu//cted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after KoreanCouncil put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean counil's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before U.N Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean council. They are swindlers" In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were all Korean, and that Korean women who testified before U.N Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. — If you are interested in this issue, try Googling "How Beijing weaponizes‘ comfort women 'as propaganda tool -ASIA TIMES " The article says “The “comfort women” issue appears, on the surface, to be a bilateral problem between South Korea and Japan. In reality, it is deeper.

  1327. The Comfort women related organization(Korean Council) made 48 million dollars just in 3 years from the “victims” business but used only 3% of the profit for the former Comfort women This organization (the Korean Council) is nothing but a disgraceful mob of unscrupulous activists whose main activities were to line their own pockets and irrevocably damage the Japan-South Korea relationship. Sadly these former comfort women and self-proclaimed former comfort women were merely used as political tools to this end. For decades now, so many people have wasted so much time, money and taxes in these efforts to try and resolve this comfort women issue, not to mention the many Japanese living overseas who had been unfairly harassed because of this issue. Japan should no longer be involved in the comfort women issue. Those comfort woman statues erected all over the world are the symbols of deception and they should all be removed

  1328. A Taiwanese eye witness commenting about the time when Taiwan was under the rule of Japan. "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a criminal. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

  1330. The Comfort women related organization(Korean Council) made 48 million dollars just in 3 years from the “victims” business but used only 3% of the profit for the former Comfort women This organization (the Korean Council) is nothing but a disgraceful mob of unscrupulous activists whose main activities were to line their own pockets and irrevocably damage the Japan-South Korea relationship. Sadly these former comfort women and self-proclaimed former comfort women were merely used as political tools to this end. For decades now, so many people have wasted so much time, money and taxes in these efforts to try and resolve this comfort women issue, not to mention the many Japanese living overseas who had been unfairly harassed because of this issue. Japan should no longer be involved in the comfort women issue. Those comfort woman statues erected all over the world are the symbols of deception and they should all be removed

  1331. ⚫︎Contemporary U.S. Military Sources One primary source is Report No. 49, U.S. Office of War Information, dated October 1, 1944. This is an interrogation report of 20 Korean comfort women in Burma. This report clearly states: A “comfort woman” is nothing more than a pros**tute or professional camp follower. ⚫︎Allied Translator Records and Captured Japanese Documents Another primary source is found in the ATIS (Allied Translator/Interpreter Section) Research Report No. 120. It says, “Amenities of the Japanese Armed Forces,” dated November 15, 1945. Among them are the following: From a captured Japanese document, “Rules for Restaurants and Houses of Pros**tution,” dated February 1943: MANILA: “Persons receiving permission to open business [comfort station] will…submit…copy of personal histories of employees….” “Permission is necessary before anyone joins the establishment.” SHANGHAI SECTOR: “The pros**tutes will possess licenses….” “Unlicensed pros**tutes are strictly prohibited from plying their trade.” “The pros**tute and the operator will share equally the proceeds of the work done by the pros**tute.” “Tacloban Brothel Regulations,” undated: “Places called brothels in these regulations are special brothels operated with Filipino women (licensed pros**tutes).” ⚫︎Foreign Ministry Documents on Comfort Stations Japanese Foreign Ministry documents from the wartime era were also captured and are among the primary sources available. These include: Consul General Reports on the Status of Countrymen and Businesses in Chinese Cities: Report on Jiujian (sic) Consulate Report No. 561, 11/8/38; Nanchang (sic) Report No. 217, 8/9/39; Chiahu (sic) Report No. 170, 8/2/39 All of these reports list comfort stations, together with other commercial businesses, not as something special. Operators are listed as civilians. Countrymen are identified as Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese. There is no mention of any comfort station operated by military personnel. Another document, the “Report by Governor General of Guangdong (sic), Report No. 37, 3/15/41,” also lists comfort stations with other businesses run by Japanese, Taiwanese, and Koreans. All comfort stations with Korean women were operated by Koreans, Japanese women by Japanese. There is not even a hint of military guards.

  1332. The Japanese government paid 2.5 times national budget as a compensation in 1965 but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995(Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as anement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The Korean government suddenly abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notice. The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”

Eski konfor kadın tanıklıkları, organizasyon tarafından eğitildiği için tutarsız Professor San Francisco Eyalet Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Chunghee Sarah Soh ile yaptığı röportajda, eski bir Koreli konfor kadını kim Sun-ok, ailesi tarafından dört kez satıldığını söyledi. Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından görevden alındığını ifade etti. Güney Kore'deki sejong Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Park ile yaptığı röportajda, eski bir Koreli konfor kadını BAE Chun-hee, onu satan babasından nefret ettiğini söyledi. Koreli kadınları işe alan ve konfor istasyonlarını işleten erkeklerin “tüm Koreli” olduğunu ve BM özel Raportöründen önce ifade veren Koreli kadınların Kore Konseyi adına yalan söylediğini söyledi. Former eski bir Koreli konfor kadın mun Oku-chu anılarında söyledi: "Koreli bir konfor istasyonu sahibi tarafından işe alındım. Bahşişlerden önemli miktarda para biriktirdim, bu yüzden bir tasarruf hesabı açtım. Tasarruf hesabımda bu kadar çok paraya sahip olabileceğime inanamadım. Arkadaşlarımdan biri birçok mücevher topladı, bu yüzden gittim ve bir elmas aldım. Sık sık Japon filmlerini izlemeye gittim ve oyuncuların anakara Japonya'dan geldiği Kabuki oyunları. Rangoon'da popüler bir kadın oldum. Rangoon'da cephe hatlarından çok daha fazla subay vardı, bu yüzden birçok partiye davet edildim. Partilerde şarkı söyledim ve çok fazla ipucu aldım. Bir çift yüksek topuklu ayakkabı, yeşil bir ceket giydim ve timsah derisinden bir çanta taşıdım. Modaya uygun bir elbiseyle dolaştım. Kasabadaki hiç kimse benim rahat bir kadın olduğumu tahmin edemezdi. Çok mutlu ve gururlu hissettim. Eve dönmek için izin aldım ama Kore'ye dönmek istemedim. Rangoon'da kalmak istedim." Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e göre, mun Oku-chu savaştan sonra Kore'de fahişe olarak çalışmaya devam etti. Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. Koreli hankyoreh gazetesine verdiği röportajda (artcile 15 Mayıs 1991'de yayınlandı) eski bir Koreli konfor kadını kim hak-sun annesi tarafından satıldığını söyledi. 1993'te kim Hak-sun, Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e şunları söyledi: "annem beni Pyongyang'da bir Kiseng olarak eğitmeye gönderdi ve sonra beni sattı." Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. 1993'te eski bir Koreli konfor kadını kim gun-ja, Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e şunları söyledi: "üvey babam tarafından satıldım." Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. Kim Gun-ja ayrıca 2007 yılında Amerika Birleşik Devletleri Dışişleri Temsilciler Meclisi Komitesinde ifade verdi ve Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını söyledi. 1993'te eski bir Koreli konfor kadını Lee Yong-soo, Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e şunları söyledi: "o zamanlar perişan giyinmiş ve sefildim. Anneme söylemeden arkadaşım kim Pun-sun ile evden ayrıldığım gün, siyah bir etek, pamuklu bir gömlek ve ayaklarımın üzerinde tahta takunya giyiyordum. Koreli bir işverenden kırmızı bir elbise ve bir çift deri ayakkabı aldığımda ne kadar memnun olduğumu bilmiyorsun." Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. Lee Yong-soo da 2007 yılında Dışişleri Birleşik Devletleri ev Komitesi önünde ifade verdi. Konuşmak için beş dakikası olduğu söylendi. Talimatı görmezden geldi ve bir saatten fazla bir süre ağlama ve çığlık atma performansına devam etti. Onun yanlış ifadesi, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri Temsilciler Meclisi'nin 121 sayılı kararının kabulüne yol açtı. 2017 yılında Lee Yong-soo, San Francisco şehir Konseyi'nden önce yanlış ifadeler verdi ve bu da o şehirde bir konfor kadın heykelinin kurulmasıyla sonuçlandı. San Francisco Eyalet Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Chunghee Sarah Soh'a göre, eski bir Koreli konfor kadını Moon pil-ki, bir Koreli konfor istasyonu sahibinin ajanı tarafından işe alındı ve diğer dört kadınla birlikte mançurya'ya götürüldü. Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. 1993'te eski bir Koreli konfor kadını olan kil won-ok, Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik'e şunları söyledi: "ailem tarafından satıldım." Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldığını ifade etti. Birkaç tanığa göre, Kore Konseyi (kuzey yanlısı aktivist grup) kadınları "Japon ordusu tarafından kaçırıldım" demeleri için eğitti." Seul Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Ahn Byong Jik, " 1990'ların başında eski konfor kadınlarıyla röportaj yaptığımda, hiçbirinin Japon ordusu hakkında söyleyecek kötü bir şeyi yoktu. Onları satan ebeveynlerinden ve onlara kötü davranan Koreli konfor istasyonu sahiplerinden nefret ediyorlardı. Ancak Kore Konseyi onları maaşlarına koyduktan sonra, ifadeleri tamamen değişti." Koreli Konsey'in maaşına katılmayı reddeden eski Koreli kadın sim mi-ja şunları söyledi: "BM özel Raportöründen önce ifade veren Koreli kadınlar Kore Konseyi adına yalan söyledi.

  1334. "Japonya'nın Kore'ye karşı işlediği iddia edilen suçlarla ilgili en sık tekrarlanan ve en çarpık efsanelerden biri, sözde “konfor kadınları" ile ilgilidir” Almanya Japonya doğru olmasa da “suçlarını telafi” olduğunu sonunda hakkındaki iddialar. Sadece bir yönü düşünmeme izin verin. 1965'te Kore hükümeti Park Chung-hee, iki ülke arasındaki ilişkileri normalleştiren Japonya ile bir anlaşma imzaladı. Antlaşma uyarınca Güney Kore, Japon egemenliğinin kurbanları için çok büyük miktarda ekonomik yardım, hibe, kredi ve önemli ölçüde tazminat aldı. (Japon hükümeti ulusal bütçenin 2,5 katını tazminat olarak ödedi, ancak Kore'de 40 yıl boyunca Japonya'ya karşı nefreti kışkırtmak için gizli tuttu ve Kore hükümeti gerçeği gizlemeye devam ediyor. Tüm bireysel iddialar 1965 Japonya-Güney Kore Antlaşması'nda çözülmesine rağmen, Japon hükümeti Koreli kadınlara birkaç kez iyi bir jest olarak tazminat teklif etti. Bununla birlikte, Japonya 1995 yılında Asya kadın Fonu aracılığıyla tazminat teklif ettiğinde(tazminat, Japonya Başbakanı'ndan kişisel bir özür mektubu ile geldi), Güney Koreli STK, eski konfor kadınlarını Japonya'nın özürünü ve tazminatını kabul etmemekle tehdit etti. STK'NIN emrine meydan okuyanların 61'i hain olarak doğrulandı, isimleri ve adresleri gazetelerde fahişe olarak yayınlandı ve hayatlarının geri kalanını utanç içinde yaşamak zorunda kaldılar. Güney Kore hükümeti, 2015 yılında konfor kadınları konusunda Japonya-Kore anlaşması imzaladı ve Japon hükümeti eski Koreli konfor kadınlarına kefaret parası olarak 1 milyar dolar ödedi. Ancak, Kore Moon Jae In yönetimi, 2018'de herhangi bir bildirimde bulunmaksızın anlaşmayı terk etti. Fesih duyurusu Japonya için tamamen kabul edilemez. Cumhurbaşkanı Moon Jae-in de dahil olmak üzere ROK Hükümeti, defalarca “anlaşmayı terk etmeyeceğini” ve “Japonya ile yeniden müzakere istemeyeceğini " belirtti”) - O sırada Japon hükümeti bireysel kurbanları telafi etmeyi teklif etti, ancak Güney Kore hükümeti teklifi reddetti ve tüm parayı alması ve vatandaşlarını telafi etmesi konusunda ısrar etti. Bu paranın çok azı (sadece 250 ABD doları) bireylere ödendi ve bunun yerine Güney Kore'nin ekonomik gelişimi için kullanıldı. Japon hükümeti, konfor kadın sistemi için özür diledi (aslında savaştan önce hem Kore hem de Japonya'da var olan ve çok sayıda Japon fahişenin yanı sıra diğer ülkelerden gelenleri de içeren lisanslı fuhuş sisteminin bir uzantısıydı), Almanya hiçbir zaman özür dilemedi veya eski fahişelere herhangi bir tazminat ödemedi. Aslında, hiç kimse böyle bir şey talep etmedi, çünkü işgal altındaki ülkelerde haklı ya da yanlış bir şekilde işbirlikçi olarak görülen bu kadınlar hiçbir zaman destekçi ya da savunucu bulamadılar” - Profesör Andrzej Kozlowski, Varşova Üniversitesi

  1335. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  1336. Some comfort women earned enough for their services (at rates set and enforced by the Japanese military authorities) to pay off the advance money(300-1500yen) given to their parents. Saving money was encouraged by the Japanese military, and accumulating large sums was hardly impracticable. Now-deceased comfort woman Mun Ok-chu saved up a staggering 26,145 yen in three years (at a time when a sergeant in the Japanese army made between 23 and 30 yen per month). Mun made more money in 1943 – a lot more – than the Japanese lieutenant-general commanding all Imperial land forces in Burma.

  1337. A Chinese group recruited a Philippines human rights organization in secretly working to have this statue erected without the knowledge of the foreign ministry, and with little detail given to the host city government. A historical commission seemed to have coordinated with the women’s group, but is now pointing fingers after having issued a permit faster than it usually does. One of the commission’s members said that the local human rights group Lila Pilipina and other organizations started to work on the comfort woman statue in 2014, and that these groups came to the commission in October of 2017, requesting the inscription to be made. Lila Pilipina is the same group that brought South Korean comfort women activism to the Philippines in the 1990s. Open Only to Chinese Media The names of five individuals and groups are inscribed on the back of the pedestal as donors. Almost all of them are Chinese. Also inscribed, in English, is “Statue of a Filipino Comfort Woman,” along with the name of the Filipino maker of the statue. We asked several people who stopped to look at the statue whether they had ever heard of comfort women before. Not a single person was able to say who the comfort women were. The Wai Ming Charitable Foundation Fund Company Limited, appearing last on the pedestal donor list, is a Hong Kong-based organization whose founder, Chung Wai Ming, is believed to have supported comfort women relief on the Chinese mainland as well as the demands for reparations from Japan. Chinese anti-Japan propaganda, which makes full use of the overseas Chinese network under the “comfort women” banner, was also undertaken in 2015 in Australia. However, the petition to erect a comfort woman statue in a public place was not recognized there on the grounds that it was outside the purview of the local city government to make decisions on such matters. - Foreign Ministry Didn’t Know: Chinese Hand Seen in Comfort Women Statue in Manila

  1338. Comfort Women and the Professors HARVARD JOHN M. OLIN CENTER FOR LAW, ECONOMICS, AND BUSINESS Abstract: We in the West have embraced an odd "narrative." The Japanese army of the 1930s and 1940s, we write, forcibly drafted 200,000 mostly Korean teenage girls into "rape camps" called "comfort stations." Should anyone question the story, we summarily consign the person to "denier" status. This makes for a strange phenomenon. Only a few of the comfort women claim to have been forcibly recruited, and several of them had told a different story before the reparations campaign against Japan began. A strongly leftist affiliate runs their nursing home, controls whom they can see, and vilifies any woman who might say anything else. In fact, no one has ever located any documentary evidence that the Japanese military forcibly recruited any Korean woman into a comfort station. And when Korean academics question the orthodox account, their own government sometimes prosecutes them for criminal defamation -- indeed, sent one heterodox professor last fall to six months in prison

  1343. It was common knowledge in Korea until the 1970s that Korean comfort station owners recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations, and no Koreans opposed that concept. Then Japanese newspaper published a series of fabricated articles in the 1980's falsely accusing Japanese military of coercing Korean comfort women. Korean communists with close ties to NK thought this was a great opportunity to defame Japan and block reconciliation between Japan and Korea. So they formed the anti-Japan lobby group in 1990 and began spreading comfort women’s false testimonies worldwide.

After 7 years of research, they found no evidence of the forced prostitution of comfort women, the Nanjing Massacre. The IWG report was published in the spring of 2007. Out of millions of pages of newly declassified material, much of it related to Japan, and they were unable to find evidence of forced prostitution. They also looked for information about the Nanjing Massacre and unit 731, but found no smoking guns. Nobody doubts that there was a massacre in Nanjing, and nobody doubts the Chinese ability to exaggerate by orders of magnitude, and then to believe their own stories. A Chinese organization lobbied for the IWG investigation. The “Global Alliance for Preserving the History of WWII in Asia” (Global Alliance). It should be noted that Global Alliance was closely associated with Iris Chang, author of “The Rape of Nanking”. Surprisingly, the IWG report offers an apology to Global Alliance for not finding anything.

  1346. The Fabrication and Spread of the “Comfort Women = Sex Slaves” Theory Totsuka Etsuro: The author of the “sex slave” concept The man who first proposed to the United Nations that the comfort women be referred to as “sex slaves” was the Japanese human rights lawyer Totsuka Etsuro(CCP’s Agent) Totsuka brought up the term “sex slave” before the UN Commission on Human Rights, and before long UN bodies had accordingly defined the comfort women as being “sex slaves”. The idea that the comfort women were sex slaves did not arise from the findings of any empirical investigation, nor was it conceptualized on the basis of any facts. Totsuka said that the idea of adopting the term “sex slaves” simply popped into his mind one day. According to Fujiki, when Totsuka was asked about how he came up with the term “sex slaves”, he said, “I had a hunch! It was intuition!” He then continued as follows: “It’s amazing, isn’t it? I had been frequenting the United Nations for thirty-four years. During that time, I submitted over twenty motions to discuss instances of Japanese human rights violations and delivered statements on them here, but not one was taken up. And yet, in 1992, when I reframed the comfort women as being sex slaves, the UN commissioners were glued to my every word. So you see, it’s incredible, isn’t it?”

That’s why we take a somewhat different stance from the Koreans who stridently demand reparations.” The participants in the conference suddenly erupted into jeer and exclaimed, “What are you saying!” Before she had finished speaking, the conference room fell into pandemonium as the attendees threw fits or began approaching the podium. One person yelled, “Stop interpreting!”, and the interpreter abruptly halted. The ones who had shouted her down were well-known Japanese human rights activists.(communists) After the conference reopened, a Thai woman who said that she was living in India shouted at the top of her lungs, “British soldiers did the same sort of things, no, even worse things, when they were stationed in India. Why aren’t you talking about that too?”

  1348. Please think logically. Ask anyone who has been in the military and they will immediately understand how difficult this can be.↓ Did Japanese army have enough resources to secretly kid_nap, transport, guard, and feed 200,000 women without starting another war? And what did they do with them when the fighting was over? Kid_napping 200,000 would not leave just 200,000 witnesses. Each human being is part of a wide network of family and acquaintances and even bystanders. Kid_napping hundreds of thousands of people would leave millions of witnesses from many countries and cultures. What did the kid_nappers do with the women they supposedly kid_napped? The accusers claim mass murder. Where are the bodies?

  1352. [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

  1354. Numerous wartime documents define comfort women as prostitutes. ⚫︎Contemporary U.S. Military Sources One primary source is Report No. 49, U.S. Office of War Information, dated October 1, 1944. This is an interrogation report of 20 Korean comfort women in Burma. This report clearly states: A “comfort woman” is nothing more than a pros**tute or professional camp follower. ⚫︎Allied Translator Records and Captured Japanese Documents Another primary source is found in the ATIS (Allied Translator/Interpreter Section) Research Report No. 120. It says, “Amenities of the Japanese Armed Forces,” dated November 15, 1945. Among them are the following: From a captured Japanese document, “Rules for Restaurants and Houses of Pros**tution,” dated February 1943: MANILA: “Persons receiving permission to open business [comfort station] will…submit…copy of personal histories of employees….” “Permission is necessary before anyone joins the establishment.” SHANGHAI SECTOR: “The pros**tutes will possess licenses….” “Unlicensed pros**tutes are strictly prohibited from plying their trade.” “The pros**tute and the operator will share equally the proceeds of the work done by the pros**tute.” “Tacloban Brothel Regulations,” undated: “Places called brothels in these regulations are special brothels operated with Filipino women (licensed pros**tutes).”

  1355. Korean scholar says: The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  1360. In 2014, 122 former comfort women in brothels serving American troops in Korea filed suit in the Seoul Central District Court, claiming that the South Korean government controlled their activities and infringed on their human rights against their will. On January 20, 2017, the court partially affirmed their claims, ordering the state to pay five million won each to 57 of the plaintiffs, ruling that the government had no legal basis to forcibly detain them for health reasons in the 1960s and 1970s. However, the court rejected their claims that the state violated the law by facilitating pros**tution, because they could have exercised their “free will” and not participated.

  1362. This vicious comfort women organization ”Korean council” is spreading the comfort women lies and anti-Japanese propaganda not only in Korea but all over the world. Their tactics is visiting Asian countries such as the Philippines and luring elderly women in this way. "If you testify that you were forcibly taken by Japanese soldiers, you can get money from the Japanese government, so please come forward.” And poor Asian women gave false testimonies for money. In reality, most of them were voluntary professionals or were sold by their parents, and the Korean owners made huge profits by running the comfort stations. The Japanese government was deceived by their lies and apologized many times and paid a large amount of compensation. However, the Korean comfort women organization threatened the Korean women to prevent them from receiving the money. If they really don't want the money, then why are the representatives of the comfort women organisation being prosecuted for embezzling donations? Where did the money they received from Japan go?

  1363. Kim said she has never received an apology from Japan, which is a flat-out lie. The truth is that comfort women's organization “Korean council” embezzle donations, force comfort women to lie, obstruct reconciliation with Japan, so that they can continue the comfort women propaganda. Japan has apologized many times and paid huge amounts of atonement money to the Korean women, but the Korean government has not given it to the women. *Japan-South Korea Treaty of 1965 During treaty negotiations, the Japanese government asked the S Korean government to identify and separate individual claims from the treaty because the Japanese government wanted to make sure the survivors received compensation. The South Korean government declined and accepted the entire sum of 800 million dollars (over ten billion dollars in today's money) in place of its citizens and spent all of it on infrastructures. Therefore it is not reasonable for the South Korean government to keep asking for additional compensation from Japan. And their claim that they were forced into pros**tution is also a lie. A Korean professor interviewed the Korean women in 2003. After the interview professor commented: “I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean spi*es) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.”

  1365. The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abd*ucted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council. They are swi*ndlers"

  1369. 【放射危機】大亜湾の放射性物質排出上限は福島の10倍です 出典:中国生態環境省、香港原子力投資公社 ——- 【幅射危機】大亞灣放射物質排放上限 遠超日本福島10倍 日本政府在周二(13日)提出，決定把福島核電廠積存的核廢水，在兩年後經稀釋後排落大海，而經處理的廢水將主要包含一種「氚」放射性物質。事件連日引來中國不斷批評，但距離香港只有50公里的大亞灣核電站，放射性物質「氚」的排放上限，竟然比日本福島的排放標準高出10倍。 據早前日本政府公布，福島核電廠積存的核廢水在經過稀釋後，每年最多排放22兆貝克的液態氚，濃度亦會稀釋到每升1500貝克，即是世衛飲用水標準的七分一。但中國國內資料顯示，鄰近香港的大亞灣核電站每年的液態氚排放上限達到225兆貝克，是福島未來每年排放量的10倍。 而據香港核電投資公司 (HKNIC) 數據顯示，過去10年大亞灣核電站的液態氚排放量平均為上限的20%，即是約49.5兆貝克，與日本政府訂出的標準比較，是超出一倍有多。此外，中國其他地區核電廠的液態氚排放量也較福島核電廠高，包括秦山核電廠、福建福清核電廠等。 「氚」是一種帶有放射性，能量雖高但穿透力弱的放射性物質，是氫的同位素之一。「氚」不會穿透人體，僅影響空氣中數厘米的範圍。一般情況下，飲用含氚的水才可能會對人體造成一定傷害，但「氚」在人體的半衰期只有7至18日，即使直接吸收了，每過14日殘留身體的劑量都會減半。 資料來源：中國生態環境部、香港核電投資公司

Yine de BM özel Raportörü Radhika Coomaraswamy'den önce Japon ordusu tarafından görevden alındığını ifade etti. Güney Kore'deki sejong Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Park ile yaptığı röportajda, eski bir Koreli konfor kadını BAE Chun-hee, onu satan babasından nefret ettiğini söyledi. Koreli kadınları işe alan ve konfor istasyonlarını işleten erkeklerin “tüm Koreli” olduğunu ve BM özel Raportöründen önce ifade veren Koreli kadınların Kore Konseyi adına yalan söylediğini söyledi. Former eski bir Koreli konfor kadın mun Oku-chu anılarında söyledi: "Koreli bir konfor istasyonu sahibi tarafından işe alındım. Bahşişlerden önemli miktarda para biriktirdim, bu yüzden bir tasarruf hesabı açtım. Tasarruf hesabımda bu kadar çok paraya sahip olabileceğime inanamadım. Arkadaşlarımdan biri birçok mücevher topladı, bu yüzden gittim ve bir elmas aldım. Sık sık Japon filmlerini izlemeye gittim ve oyuncuların anakara Japonya'dan geldiği Kabuki oyunları. Rangoon'da popüler bir kadın oldum. Rangoon'da cephe hatlarından çok daha fazla subay vardı, bu yüzden birçok partiye davet edildim. Partilerde şarkı söyledim ve çok fazla ipucu aldım. Bir çift yüksek topuklu ayakkabı, yeşil bir ceket giydim ve timsah derisinden bir çanta taşıdım. Modaya uygun bir elbiseyle dolaştım. Kasabadaki hiç kimse benim rahat bir kadın olduğumu tahmin edemezdi. Çok mutlu ve gururlu hissettim. Eve dönmek için izin aldım ama Kore'ye dönmek istemedim. Rangoon'da kalmak istedim."

Konuşmak için beş dakikası olduğu söylendi. Talimatı görmezden geldi ve bir saatten fazla bir süre ağlama ve çığlık atma performansına devam etti. Onun yanlış ifadesi, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri Temsilciler Meclisi'nin 121 sayılı kararının kabulüne yol açtı. 2017 yılında Lee Yong-soo, San Francisco şehir Konseyi'nden önce yanlış ifadeler verdi ve bu da o şehirde bir konfor kadın heykelinin kurulmasıyla sonuçlandı. San Francisco Eyalet Üniversitesi'nden Profesör Chunghee Sarah Soh'a göre, eski bir Koreli konfor kadını Moon pil-ki, bir Koreli konfor istasyonu sahibinin ajanı tarafından işe alındı ve diğer dört kadınla birlikte mançurya'ya götürüldü.

  1376. A Chinese group recruited a Philippines human rights organization in secretly working to have this statue erected without the knowledge of the foreign ministry, and with little detail given to the host city government. A historical commission seemed to have coordinated with the women’s group, but is now pointing fingers after having issued a permit faster than it usually does. One of the commission’s members said that the local human rights group Lila Pilipina and other organizations started to work on the comfort woman statue in 2014, and that these groups came to the commission in October of 2017, requesting the inscription to be made. Lila Pilipina is the same group that brought South Korean comfort women activism to the Philippines in the 1990s. Open Only to Chinese Media The names of five individuals and groups are inscribed on the back of the pedestal as donors. Almost all of them are Chinese. Also inscribed, in English, is “Statue of a Filipino Comfort Woman,” along with the name of the Filipino maker of the statue. We asked several people who stopped to look at the statue whether they had ever heard of comfort women before. Not a single person was able to say who the comfort women were. The Wai Ming Charitable Foundation Fund Company Limited, appearing last on the pedestal donor list, is a Hong Kong-based organization whose founder, Chung Wai Ming, is believed to have supported comfort women relief on the Chinese mainland as well as the demands for reparations from Japan. Chinese anti-Japan propaganda, which makes full use of the overseas Chinese network under the “comfort women” banner, was also undertaken in 2015 in Australia. However, the petition to erect a comfort woman statue in a public place was not recognized there on the grounds that it was outside the purview of the local city government to make decisions on such matters. - Foreign Ministry Didn’t Know: Chinese Hand Seen in Comfort Women Statue in Manila

  1377. “One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 2.5 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995(Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace.)

  1378. The Japanese government at that time offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250 per person) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros***ution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros***tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros**tutes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  1381. This is N Korean/CCP’s propaganda Kim said she has never received an apology from Japan, which is a flat-out lie. The truth is that comfort women's organization “Korean council” embezzle donations, force comfort women to lie, obstruct reconciliation with Japan, so that they can continue the comfort women propaganda. Japan has apologized many times and paid huge amounts of atonement money to the Korean women, but the Korean government has not given it to the women. *Japan-South Korea Treaty of 1965 During treaty negotiations, the Japanese government asked the S Korean government to identify and separate individual claims from the treaty because the Japanese government wanted to make sure the survivors received compensation. The South Korean government declined and accepted the entire sum of 800 million dollars (over ten billion dollars in today's money) in place of its citizens and spent all of it on infrastructures. Therefore it is not reasonable for the South Korean government to keep asking for additional compensation from Japan. *South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan” And their claim that they were forced into pros**tution is also a lie. A Korean professor interviewed the Korean women in 2003. After the interview professor commented: “I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean spi*es) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.”

  1385. The comfort women were not ra_pe but wartime pros**tutes and many of them were Japanese. [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

Japan participated in the WW2 in 1939 -1945-1939=6 years In her speech, 9/18/2013 in France, She said that her human rights was violated by IJA in “Korean war”. -There is no IJA during the Korean war. Her human rights was likely violated by UN/US soldiers. 122 former Korean comfort women served for the UN/US soldiers sued their government in 2014. While Korean comfort women who sued Japan were only 9 in 1991. It means the US had more sex slaves than Japan.

One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon."

  1392. Korean authorities say “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  1394. “One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 2.5 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995(Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notice. The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”)

  1395. The Japanese government at that time offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  1396. “Uno dei miti più spesso ripetuti e più distorti che riguardano i presunti crimini del Giappone contro la Corea, riguarda le cosiddette "donne di conforto". Infine, per quanto riguarda le affermazioni secondo cui la Germania ha correttamente "espiato" i suoi crimini, mentre il Giappone non lo ha fatto. Permettetemi di considerare solo un aspetto. Nel 1965 il governo coreano di Park Chung-hee firmò un trattato con il Giappone, normalizzando i rapporti tra i due Paesi. In base al trattato la Corea del Sud ha ricevuto aiuti economici, sovvenzioni, prestiti e, in modo significativo, risarcimenti per le vittime del dominio giapponese. (Il governo giapponese ha pagato 2,5 volte il bilancio nazionale come risarcimento, ma lo ha tenuto segreto per 40 anni in Corea per incitare all'odio verso il Giappone e il governo coreano continua a cercare di nascondere la verità. Anche se tutte le richieste individuali sono state risolte nel trattato del 1965 tra Giappone e Corea del Sud, il governo giapponese ha comunque offerto più volte un risarcimento alle donne coreane come un buon gesto. Tuttavia, quando il Giappone ha offerto un risarcimento attraverso il Fondo per le donne asiatiche nel 1995 (il risarcimento è arrivato con una lettera di scuse personali del Primo Ministro del Giappone), la ONG sudcoreana ha minacciato le ex donne di conforto di non accettare le scuse del Giappone e il risarcimento. 61 di coloro che hanno sfidato l'ordine della ONG sono stati verificati come traditori, i loro nomi e indirizzi sono stati pubblicati sui giornali come prostiituti, e hanno dovuto vivere il resto della loro vita in disgrazia. Il governo sudcoreano ha firmato l'accordo tra Giappone e Corea sul tema delle donne di conforto nel 2015 e il governo giapponese ha pagato 1 miliardo di dollari come denaro di espiazione alle ex donne di conforto coreane. Tuttavia, l'amministrazione della coreana Moon Jae In ha abbandonato l'accordo nel 2018 senza alcun preavviso. L'annuncio dello scioglimento è totalmente inaccettabile per il Giappone. Mentre il governo del Regno Unito, compreso il presidente Moon Jae-in, ha ripetutamente dichiarato in pubblico che "non abbandonerà l'accordo" e "non chiederà una rinegoziazione con il Giappone") - Il governo giapponese di allora si offrì di risarcire le singole vittime, ma il governo sudcoreano rifiutò l'offerta e insistette per ricevere tutto il denaro e per risarcire i propri cittadini. Pochissimo di questo denaro (solo 250 dollari) fu pagato ai singoli individui e fu invece utilizzato per lo sviluppo economico della Corea del Sud. Il governo giapponese si è scusato per il suo sistema di "comfort women" (che in realtà era un'estensione del sistema di prostituzione autorizzato che esisteva sia in Corea che in Giappone prima della guerra e che coinvolgeva un gran numero di prostitute giapponesi e di altri paesi), la Germania non si è mai scusata né ha mai pagato alcun risarcimento a nessuna ex prostituta. In realtà, nessuno ha mai preteso nulla del genere, poiché queste donne, che a torto o a ragione erano viste come collaboratrici nei paesi occupati, non hanno mai trovato sostenitori o difensori". -Professore Andrzej Kozlowski, Università di Varsavia

  1398. - The Korean council One organization lies at the heart of much of the current dispute with Japan, and manipulates this fictive nationalist history to help drive the relentless opposition to reconciliation with Japan: the Korean Council. The Korean council organizes the weekly protests in front of the Japanese embassy in Seoul. It began the installation of the comfort women statutes around the world -- tellingly, statues not of the 20-year-old women who became the comfort women but of 15 year-old girls who did not. It pressured the former comfort women to reject the compensation offered by Japan. And it militantly polices scholars who would question the "sex-slave narrative" Korean Council largely controls the public testimony by the comfort women. It chooses those willing to back their sex-slave narrative, and intimidates the rest into silence. It maintains its ability to do this by collaborating in the operation of a nursing home for the most visible comfort women, the House of Nanumu. The women at Nanumu are the women most willing to testify. By helping to control Nanumu, the Korean Council controls who scholars and reporters will see and what the women will say. As political scientist Yi (2018) put it, the ”prevailing narrative of abductions is based on the oral testimonies of a small number of women (16 of 238 registered survivors in 1990s), "prevailing narrative of abductions is associated with activist organizations (e.g., House of Sharing [i.e., the nursing home]; Korean Council [i.e., CDH])" (Yi 2018). By sabotaging any reconciliation between South Korea and Japan, the Korean council directly promotes a key North Korean political goal -- and that seems to be the point. As Park explains it, Korean council" has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.” Initially organized by Korean communists, the group was at one time designated by the South Korean government as a North Korean affiliate. Its long-time senior representative -- Yun Mee-Hyang -- was herself investigated for North Korean ties in 2013. Other members of her family have for years been embroiled in controversy and litigation over whether they did or did not maintain ties to the north (with the courts concluding in 2018 that they did not). As its possible North-Korean affiliation might suggest, many comfort women deeply resent the Korean council. Back in 2004, several comfort women sued it to try to retake control over their movement (Moto 2018). The group remains in control, however, and has successfully intimidated most of the remaining women. Park Yu-Ha confesses herself puzzled that the group ever allowed her to interview the women: I regained my interest in [the comfort women] issue in the early 2000s when I heard that the Korean council was confining surviving women in a nursing home called House of Nanumu. The only time these women were allowed to talk to outsiders was when Korean council needed them to testify for the UN Special Rapporteur or the U.S. politicians. But for some reason I was allowed to talk to them one day in 2003. Even these Nanumu women were unhappy with the Korean council. Park continues: I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean Council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council 's order. Korean council made its thr:eats credible when Japan first offered the women compensation in 1995. Determined to sabotage the coming rapprochement, it ordered the women to refuse the payments. Some took the money anyway. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. Korean-American anthropologist Sarah Soh confirms their fears. Although some comfort women invented dramatic new stories to keep themselves in the news, "other South Korean survivors have firmly refused to be further interviewed after the initial investigation for the government certification process." They have, Soh explains, "kept their silence out of fear of making 'speech errors' that might lead to the cancellation of their registration and hence the cessation of their welfare support money."

  1405. "Japonya'nın Kore'ye karşı işlediği iddia edilen suçlarla ilgili en sık tekrarlanan ve en çarpık efsanelerden biri, sözde “konfor kadınları" ile ilgilidir” Almanya Japonya doğru olmasa da “suçlarını telafi” olduğunu sonunda hakkındaki iddialar. Sadece bir yönü düşünmeme izin verin. 1965'te Kore hükümeti Park Chung-hee, iki ülke arasındaki ilişkileri normalleştiren Japonya ile bir anlaşma imzaladı. Antlaşma uyarınca Güney Kore, Japon egemenliğinin kurbanları için çok büyük miktarda ekonomik yardım, hibe, kredi ve önemli ölçüde tazminat aldı. (Japon hükümeti ulusal bütçenin 2,5 katını tazminat olarak ödedi, ancak Kore'de 40 yıl boyunca Japonya'ya karşı nefreti kışkırtmak için gizli tuttu ve Kore hükümeti gerçeği gizlemeye devam ediyor. Tüm bireysel iddialar 1965 Japonya-Güney Kore Antlaşması'nda çözülmesine rağmen, Japon hükümeti Koreli kadınlara birkaç kez iyi bir jest olarak tazminat teklif etti. Bununla birlikte, Japonya 1995 yılında Asya kadın Fonu aracılığıyla tazminat teklif ettiğinde(tazminat, Japonya Başbakanı'ndan kişisel bir özür mektubu ile geldi), Güney Koreli STK, eski konfor kadınlarını Japonya'nın özürünü ve tazminatını kabul etmemekle tehdit etti. STK'NIN emrine meydan okuyanların 61'i hain olarak doğrulandı, isimleri ve adresleri gazetelerde fahişe olarak yayınlandı ve hayatlarının geri kalanını utanç içinde yaşamak zorunda kaldılar. Güney Kore hükümeti, 2015 yılında konfor kadınları konusunda Japonya-Kore anlaşması imzaladı ve Japon hükümeti eski Koreli konfor kadınlarına kefaret parası olarak 1 milyar dolar ödedi. Ancak, Kore Moon Jae In yönetimi, 2018'de herhangi bir bildirimde bulunmaksızın anlaşmayı terk etti. Fesih duyurusu Japonya için tamamen kabul edilemez. Cumhurbaşkanı Moon Jae-in de dahil olmak üzere ROK Hükümeti, defalarca “anlaşmayı terk etmeyeceğini” ve “Japonya ile yeniden müzakere istemeyeceğini " belirtti”) - O sırada Japon hükümeti bireysel kurbanları telafi etmeyi teklif etti, ancak Güney Kore hükümeti teklifi reddetti ve tüm parayı alması ve vatandaşlarını telafi etmesi konusunda ısrar etti. Bu paranın çok azı (sadece 250 ABD doları) bireylere ödendi ve bunun yerine Güney Kore'nin ekonomik gelişimi için kullanıldı. Japon hükümeti, konfor kadın sistemi için özür diledi (aslında savaştan önce hem Kore hem de Japonya'da var olan ve çok sayıda Japon fahişenin yanı sıra diğer ülkelerden gelenleri de içeren lisanslı fuhuş sisteminin bir uzantısıydı), Almanya hiçbir zaman özür dilemedi veya eski fahişelere herhangi bir tazminat ödemedi. Aslında, hiç kimse böyle bir şey talep etmedi, çünkü işgal altındaki ülkelerde haklı ya da yanlış bir şekilde işbirlikçi olarak görülen bu kadınlar hiçbir zaman destekçi ya da savunucu bulamadılar” - Profesör Andrzej Kozlowski, Varşova Üniversitesi

Michael Breen, Korea Times contributor and author of the popular text The Koreans (2004) reacted critically. “They were the th_ ugs, the bru_ tes, the mon_ sters, the most horrible…” They were not tried as soldiers or POW camp guards who had done their jobs. They were tried for overzealousness, for decisions and actions over and above the call of duty. They were the th_ugs, the bru_ tes, the mon_sters, the most horrible… Breen describes atro_cities committed by K camp guards that represented indignities that no human being should suffer. He chastised the commission for its political correctness: “The Commission should know that those rounding up comfort women were Koreans and those tor_turing people in police stations were mostly Koreans.”

  1407. 일한병합담화】일본의 사죄 필요없다. 한국 보수파의 탄식과 분개   전 한국 공군대령 최삼연씨 일한병합 100년에 즈음하여 한 간나오토 수상의 담화에 대하여, 일본통치시대를 아는 전 한국 공군대령 최삼연씨(81세)가 인터뷰에 응하여, “이것은 일본의 수상으로서는 실격이다. 오히려 서로의 신뢰를 잃는 결과가 된다.”고 위구의 마음을 표명하였다. 주요한 대화는 다음과 같다. 　―― 8월10일에 간 수상이 일한병합 100년에 즈음하여 담화를 발표하였습니다. 이에 대한 생각은 이것은 일본의 수상으로서는 실격입니다. 일본인으로서의 입장을 고려하지 않은 것입니다. 병합으로부터 100년, 전후 65년을 지났는데, 지금에 와서 어떤 입장으로 저런 것을 이야기하고 있는지, 전혀 모르겠습니다. 지금 이런 것은 일본의 종말이지요. 　――내용적으로는 1995년의 무라야마 토이치 수상 담화의 반복이라고도 하는데 아니지요. 더 무시무시합니다. 무라야마 담화는 단순한 사죄이고. 거기에서부터 공생을 목표로 하는 것이라고도 말할 수 있어요. 간나오토 수상의 담화는, 그 다음에 나올 것은 한일기본조약의 무효입니다. 원래 식민지라는 것은 15세기부터 시작되었습니다. 근현대사라는 것은 인류에 있어서 식민지시대라고도 할 수 있어요. 세계는 가는 곳 마다 식민지 투성이었어요. 　――확실히 세계사 지도를 보면 말씀하신 대로네요. 아프리카 등은 식민지시대가 끝나고도 빈곤으로부터 좀처럼 벗어날 수 없는 상태입니다. 그러면 식민지로부터 근대적인 경제발전을 수행한 곳은 어디인가요? 한국과 대만입니다. 모두 일본의 식민지였던 곳입니다. 그 외에도 홍콩과 싱가폴이 있지만, 여기는 영국의 소위 천령(天領)이었습니다. 인도는 영국의 식민지로서 대표적이지만, 인프라가 정비되어있지 않고, 좀처럼 경제발전이 되지 않았습니다. 지금 인도는 경제발전을 하고 있다고 하지만, 그레도 일인당 GDP는 890달러, 문자해독률은 64%에 불과합니다. 　――한국과 대만은 일본통치시대에 인프라가 정비되어 있었다고 말씀하시는 것인가요? 전쟁이 끝나기 전, 철도, 수도, 전기 등의 설비는 일본 국내와 큰 차가 없었어요. 이것은 다른 외국의 식민지 경영과 아주 다른 점입니다. 다른 외국은 식민지로부터는 일방적으로 착취만 할 뿐이었어요. 일본은 국내의 세금을 식민지의 인프라 정비에 투입한 것입니다. 그래서 주민의 생활수준에도 본토와 그다지 차이가 없었어요. 　――교육은 어떠하였나요. 저는 일본통치시대의 교육도 받았어요. 당시 일본 국내에서 행하여지고 있었던 학교교육과 차이가 없었습니다. 또 일본의 육군사관학교에는조선인의 입학을 인정하고 있었어요. 당시의 다른 외국에서는 자국의 육군사관학교에 식민지인의 입학을 인정하지는 않았어요. 즉 일본은 교육에 있어서도 차별을 하지 않았습니다. 당시의 다른 외국은 본국과 식민지를 명확히 차별하고 있었어요. 식민지란 착취의 대상으로서 경영하는 것이었고, 차별당하여도 당연했습니다. 일본은 차별을 하지 않도록 병합한 것이고, 소위 다른 외국의 식민지지배와는 완전히 달랐습니다. 　――다른 외국이야 말로 사죄하여야 하는데 일본만 사죄해야만 하는 것은 어떻게 된 까닭인가요 최근에 식민지다, 침략이다 말하고 있지만, 이것에는 중국의 전략이 그 배경에 있습니다. 중국의 전략은 일본을 재기불능하게 하고, 일본이 한국과 대만과 연대하는 것을 저지하는 것입니다. 　――그렇게 말씀하신다면, 일미동맹과 미한동맹은 있는데 한일동맹은 없습니다. 미군기지의 위치관계에서 보면 사실상 동맹국이라고 해도 좋을 정도로 접근하여 있는데 동맹조약은 맺어져 있지 않습니다. 한일동맹이야 말로 중국과 북한이 가장 두려워하고 있는 동맹입니다. 그러므로 이것을 억제하고 방해하기 위해서 중국은 전력을 기울이고 있습니다. 이에 대하여 일본은 대응을 잘못하고 있다고 말하지 않을 수 없어요. 　――일본이 사죄를 하지 않아서 양국의 간격은 메워지지 않는다 등의 말을 하는데. 무라야마 담화 이후에도 한일관계도 중일관계도 오히려 악화되었습니다. 일본인은 사과하면 한국과 중국, 북한이 용서하여 줄 것이다고 생각하고 있는 것같습니다만 큰 오산입니다. 처음부터 노림수는 다른 곳에 있기 때문에, 원래 용서할 마음은 없습니다. 중국의 대전략은 일미한의 연대와 제휴를 극력 저지하는 것입니다. 그레서 역사문제를 일부러 크게 보이게하여 나팔을 불어댑니다. 제가 공부한 바로는 그리 큰 문제는 아닙니다.예컨대 동경군사재판의 A급 전범은 일본의 국내법에서 사면되어 있습니다. 사면된 이상, 이미 전범이 아닙니다. 즉 일본에는 A급이던, B급이던 C급이던 이미 전범은 없는 것입니다. 그럼에도 불구하고 A급전범이 합사되어 있으니 야스쿠니신사에 가지 말라고 하는 것은 억지입니다. 강화라는 것은 과거와 선을 긋는 것입니다. 중일평화우호조약, 한일기본조약을 체결하는 것은 이것으로 과거의 문제를 청산하고 화해를 한다는 한다는 약속이고 과거를 다시 끄집어내는 것은 이상한 것입니다. 　――일본정부는 한국에 대한 보상 문제를 재검토하려고 하고 있는 것 같습니다. 일본과 한국에 대해서 말한다면, 과거의 모든 보상문제는 해결이 완료된 것입니다. 그러므로 재검토할 필요 따위는 없습니다. 그런데 일본인은 결백증이 있어서 상대방이 조금이라도 불만을 말하면 또 사과하고 돈을 낼까라는 이야기가 됩니다. 　――결백증이 오히려 적이 되고 있는 셈입니다. 일본인의 도리, 정의감은 대륙에서는 전혀 통용되지 않습니다. 　――구체적으로는 어떤 것인가요 일본인이 지니고 있는 윤리, 정의, 도덕, 준법정신 등은 인류 보편의 가치이고 아주 우수한 것입니다. 일본 국내에서는 이것들의 가치는 존중되어 잘 지켜지고 있습니다. 그런데 일본을 한 발짝이라도 밖으로 나가면 도둑놈, 사기꾼들로 가득차 있습니다. 이러한 점을 일본인들은 알아차리지 못하고 있어요. 　――한국에서는 어떤가요 조선반도는 아직도 남북으로 분단되어 있습니다. 즉 아직도 전쟁상태입니다. 그래서 북한은 계속하여 한국에 대하여 정치공작을 합니다. 그런 상태를 일본의 정부는 얼마 만큼 이해하고 있는가요? 그것을 이해하지 못하고 단지 일본이 고개를 숙여도 일본과 한국은 결코 사이가 좋아질 수 없어요. 일본이 고개를 숙이면 일본의 체면이 완전히 구겨집니다. 대륙과 반도에서는 체면은 아주 중요한 것이고 이것을 잃으면 계속해서 모욕을 당합니다. 　――일본에서는 체면이라는 말은 이미 사어가 되었네요. 일본에서는 고개를 숙이면 겸허한 사람이라고 존경을 받지만, 대륙과 반도에서는 계속하여 당합니다. 결국 일본인은 내심, 한국인을 싫어하게 될 것입니다. 오히려 서로의 신뢰를 잃는 결과가 됩니다. 　――그렇게 말씀하신다면 최근의 일이지만, 이런 이야기를 들었습니다. 어떤 일본인 여성사원인데, 한국 회사와의 계약을 하는데 성공하였습니다. 그것은 좋았지만, 상담이 성립되자 마자. 한국인 남성사원이 “일본은 과거의 문제에 대하여 사죄하라. 괘씸하다.”고 떠벌였다고 합니다. 상대는 중요한 손님이므로 반박할 수는 없어서, 가만히 듣는 수 밖에 없었지만, 내심 한국을 아주 싫어하게 되었다고 합니다. 이러한 것을 연배가 있는 일본인 남성에게 이야기하자 “그러니 한국과는 사귀지 않는 편이 좋다.”고 들었다고 합니다. 그것이야 말로 실로 중국이 의도하는 바입니다. 중국의 전략의 노림수는 거기에 있기 때문입니다.

  1408. 2/2 　――일본은 무턱대고 고개를 숙여서는 아니 되네요. 세계적으로 보면 식민지지배를 받은 측에서는 원한과 증오가 있지만, 역으로 종주국에 존경의 마음을 품는 경우도 있습니다. 인도인이 영국문화에 존경의 마음을 품기도 합니다. 대만과 한국에서도 “그 시대는 열쇠를 잠그지도 않고 잠을 잘수 있었다.”고 하는 연배가 있는 사람들이 많이 있습니다. 그러나 젊은 세대는 그런 시대를 모르기 때문에, 증오의 감정만이 앞서 버립니다. 즉, 일본이 사과하면 이런 일본과 한국의 근저에 있는 오랜된 좋은 추억이 사라져, 증오만이 남는 것입니다. 일본도 미국에 원폭을 투하당하여. 점령당하여 미국에 대한 증오의 감정은 있을 것입니다. 그러나 그런 과거의 원한만을 말하고 있으면 어떻게 되겠나요? 일미관계는 악화될 것입니다. 　――그렇게 말씀하시니, 최근 미국에 원폭투하의 사과를 요구하는 움직임이 있네요 중국은 어쨌든 일본을 고립시키려고 야단입니다. 그러한 방식은 결국 중국을 위해서도 도움이 되지 않는다고 생각하지만, 중국은 외국을 억지하는 것만을 생각하고 있고 자국을 개혁하려고는 하지 않아요 　――중국국내에도 문제가 산적한데, 그 인식 조차 위험한 느낌이네요 북한 문제에서도 그 뒤에 있는 것은 중국입니다. 중국은 6개국협의의 의장국이지만, 이 협의에서 어떤 성과가 있었나요? 북한에 핵미사일을 개발하는 시간과 지원을 주었을 뿐입니다. 그레서 북한이 한국의 초계함을 침몰시켜 40인 이상의 한국인이 희생되었는데, 중국의 반대로 국제연합에서 제재도 과할 수 없었습니다. 이러한 방식으로 임한다면 결국 어느 나라도 중국을 신용하지 않게 됩니다. 이러한 방식은 오히려 중국의 발목을 잡게되지만 그것을 중국은 이해하지 못해요. 　――그렇게 말씀하시니, 미국의 중국에 대한 대응도 변해온 것같이 느낍니다. 남중국해에서 베트남과 합동군사훈련을 하고 이번에는 황해에서 한국과 합동군사훈련을 한다고 하고 있습니다. 중국은 반발하고 있네요. 바로 최근까지는 중국을 배려하였던 미국이었는데. 지금에 와서는 모습이 변한 것입니다. 한국에서도 실제로는 중국의 위협을 오싹하게 느끼고 있어요 　――북한과 중국의 관계는 어떻게 될 것인가요. 지금 북한을 지배하고 있는 무리들은 요컨대 중국의 마적 비적입니다. 　――그렇습니까? 김정일의 아버지 김일성은 전쟁이 끝나기 전에는 만주인으로 상장하였습니다. 본명은 김성주, 조선어보다는 중국어가 유창하였고 비적으로서 활개치고 다녔습니다. 1945년에 조선 북부를 점령한 소련에 의하여, 이미 항일의 영웅으로서 전설이 되어있었던 김일성 장군으로 만들어던 것입니다. 즉 가짜 김일성입니다. 진짜 김일성 장군은 저희들이 소년시절에 조선 북부에서 소문을 들은 인물이지만 당시 33세의 애송이였던 김성주일리가 없어요. 진짜 김일성은 일본의 육군사관학교를 21기로 졸업하여 나중에 독립운동으로 돌아선 김광서라고 해요. 　――구 소련이 항일영웅전설을 이용한 셈이네요. 중국에 있던 양아치같은 것들이 지금의 북한을 지배하고 있는 것입니다. 그래서 제대로 된 정치가 될 리가 없고, 경제는 엉망입니다. 그런데 한국의 지금의 젊은이 중에는 북한에 속아서 올바른 정권이라고 믿고 있는 자들이 적지 않아요. 한탄스러울 뿐입니다. 　――친북파네요. 그렇습니다. 여론의 동향에 따라서는 친북파가 주도권을 쥐고 북한 중심의 남북통일도 가능한 정세입니다. 혹시 그렇데 된다면 큰일입니다. 이것을 저지하기 위해서는 한국과 일본은 연대와 제휴를 강화해야한다고 생각합니다. 　――오늘은 고마웠습니다. 〈최씨의 프로필〉 최삼연 1928년 조선반도 북부의 함흥 출생. 종전 후 한국 공군에 입대. 한국전쟁에서 싸웠다. 대학에서는 영문학, 대학원에서는 행정학을 전공. 군의 요직을 역임하고 1971년 공군대령으로 퇴역. 그 후 오디오 부품 제조사의 경영 기획에 참가. 공업상품의 품질관리기관 임원, 윤활유공업협회 부회장을 역임하여, 세계 각국의 경제, 정치 상황을 시찰하여 한국공업의 기반 확립을 위하여 진력하였다. 현재 한일 양국을 위시한 폭넓은 세계적 인재교류에 힘쓰고 있다. 출처 : 【일한병합담화】일본의 사죄 필요없다. 한국 보수파의 탄식과 분개

  1409. Numerous wartime documents define comfort women as prostitutes. ⚫︎Diary The “Diary of Gordon Thomas” is another contemporary source on the subject. Thomas was the former editor of The Rabaul Times who spent three years in Rabaul (Papua New Guinea) operating an icehouse while Rabaul was under Japanese occupation. Comfort women often visited his icehouse and were not under guard. Mention is made of women from two different comfort stations fighting over customers.   The diary of a Korean who managed comfort stations in Burma and Singapore is also part of the record. Korean Professor Choe Kil Sung analyzed this diary. The following are extracts which clarify the status of comfort women:   When people think of a comfort station…quite a few…imagine a military camp or an army tent. And yet, it seems that, for the most part, the comfort stations were actually located in ordinary civilian buildings.   These comfort stations were also engaged in buying and selling, borrowing and loaning, and transfer of property.   Professor Choe concludes: “After I read the diary for the first time, I concluded definitely that the comfort stations were not military institutions, but rather similar to wartime brothels.”

  1410. “Um dos mitos mais frequentemente repetidos e distorcidos sobre os supostos crimes do Japão contra a Coréia, diz respeito às chamadas "mulheres de conforto". Finalmente, sobre as alegações de que a Alemanha "expiou" apropriadamente por seus crimes, enquanto o Japão não o fez. Deixe-me considerar apenas um aspecto. Em 1965, o governo coreano de Park Chung-hee assinou um tratado com o Japão, normalizando as relações entre os dois países. Nos termos do tratado, a Coréia do Sul recebeu grandes quantidades de ajuda econômica, subsídios, empréstimos e, significativamente, indenizações para as vítimas do domínio japonês. (O governo japonês pagou 2,5 vezes o orçamento nacional como compensação, mas manteve-o em segredo durante 40 anos na Coréia para incitar o ódio contra o Japão e o governo coreano continua tentando esconder a verdade. Embora todas as reivindicações individuais tenham sido resolvidas no Tratado Japão-Coréia do Sul de 1965, o governo japonês ainda ofereceu várias vezes indenização às mulheres coreanas como um bom gesto. Entretanto, quando o Japão ofereceu indenização através do Fundo para Mulheres Asiáticas em 1995 (a indenização veio com uma carta pessoal de desculpas do Primeiro Ministro do Japão), a ONG sul-coreana ameaçou antigas mulheres de conforto para não aceitar o pedido de desculpas e a indenização do Japão. 61 das que desafiaram a ordem da ONG foram verificadas como traidoras, seus nomes e endereços foram publicados em jornais como prostitutas, e tiveram que viver o resto de suas vidas em desgraça. O governo sul-coreano assinou o acordo Japão-Coreia sobre a questão das mulheres de conforto em 2015 e o governo japonês pagou 1 bilhão de dólares como dinheiro de expiação para as ex-coreanas de conforto. No entanto, a administração do Moon Jae In da Coréia abandonou o acordo em 2018 sem qualquer aviso prévio. O anúncio da dissolução é totalmente inaceitável para o Japão. Enquanto o governo da ROK, incluindo o presidente Moon Jae-in, declarou repetidamente em público que "não abandonará o acordo" e "não pedirá uma renegociação com o Japão") - O governo japonês naquela época se ofereceu para compensar as vítimas individuais, mas o governo sul-coreano recusou a oferta e insistiu que deveria receber todo o dinheiro e compensar seus próprios cidadãos. Muito pouco desse dinheiro (apenas 250 dólares) foi pago a indivíduos e, em vez disso, foi usado para o desenvolvimento econômico da Coréia do Sul. O governo japonês pediu desculpas por seu sistema de mulheres de conforto (que na verdade era uma extensão do sistema de prostituição licenciada que existia tanto na Coréia como no Japão antes da guerra e que envolvia um grande número de prostitutas japonesas, assim como as de outros países), a Alemanha nunca pediu desculpas ou pagou qualquer compensação a qualquer ex-profissional. Na verdade, ninguém jamais exigiu tais coisas, uma vez que essas mulheres, que com razão ou sem razão eram vistas como colaboradoras nos países ocupados, nunca encontraram nenhum apoiador ou defensor". -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, Universidade de Varsóvia

  1411. “One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 2.5 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995(Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros***utes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as anement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notice. The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”)

  1412. The Japanese government at that time offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250 per person) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros^^tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros**tutes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  1418. 😂 Princeton University confirmed Alleyne Ireland's conviction with the following data in his 2004 book "State-Directed Development": "The average life span of the Koreans doubled from 23 years in 1910 to 45 years in 1945, and the population doubled from just over 12 million in 1910 to over 25 million in 1945 due to the institution of modern healthcare under the Japanese. Economic output in terms of agriculture, fishery, forestry and industry increased tenfold from 1910 to 1945. The economic development model the Japanese instituted played the crucial role in Korean economic development, a model that was maintained by the Koreans in the post-World War II era." During the period of Japan's rule, half of Japanese taxpayers' money was spent on education, healthcare, industry and infrastructure in Korea

  1422.  @mrcls7040  FYI, The US government, under the Clinton and Bush administrations, spent 7 years and 30 million dollars to look into Nazi and Japanese war crimes. After 7 years of research, they found no evidence of the forced prost*tution of comfort women, the Nanjing Massacre. “Final Report to the US Congress on Nazi War Crimes & Japanese Imperial Government Records” authored by the Interagency Working Group (IWG).” The report was published in the spring of 2007. Out of millions of pages of newly declassified material, much of it related to Japan, and they were unable to find evidence of forced prostitution. They also looked for information about the Nanjing Massacre and unit 731, but found no smoking guns. Nobody doubts that there was a massacre in Nanjing, and nobody doubts the Chinese ability to exaggerate by orders of magnitude, and then to believe their own stories. A Chinese organization lobbied for the IWG investigation. The “Global Alliance for Preserving the History of WWII in Asia” (Global Alliance). It should be noted that Global Alliance was closely associated with Iris Chang, author of “The Rape of Nanking”. Surprisingly, the IWG report offers an apology to Global Alliance for not finding anything.

Tritium is the mildly radioactive isotope of hydrogen that has two neutrons and one proton, with radioactivity so low that no environmental or human problems have ever come from it, even though it is a common radioactive element in the environment. Tritium is formed naturally by atmospheric processes as well as in nuclear weapons testing and in nuclear power plants. Tritium is assumed to be carcinogenic to humans at extremely high levels, although that claim is only hypothetical since adverse health effects from tritium have never appeared in humans or in the environment. Only laboratory studies on mice at extremely high levels have shown any adverse health effects and they were not fatal, even after ingesting 37,000,000 Bq/L. Putting this water into the ocean is without doubt the best way to get rid of it. Concentrating it and containerizing it actually causes more of a potential hazard to people and the environment. And is really expensive. Unfortunately, the idea of releasing radioactivity of any sort makes most people cringe. But that’s the problem, only the perception of tritium is bad, not the reality. And in our new world of anti-science, such a wrong idea might rule over what is the right thing to do, wasting precious resources and time. The scientific reality is tritium emits an incredibly weak beta particle that is easily stopped by our dead skin layer. It only goes a quarter inch in air. Even ingestion of tritium doesn’t do anything unless it’s at very high concentrations that can only be maintained in the laboratory. The health risks of tritium-contaminated water are so low that all countries of the world have no idea what regulatory limits to put on it. Using Becquerel per liter as the concentration unit (a Bq is a disintegration of a single nucleus per second), the United States has set 740 Bq/L for drinking water, but Canada has 7,000 Bq/L as its limit. Switzerland set 10,000 Bq/L, and Australia a whopping 76,103 Bq/L. But these limits were just taken out of thin air. They are not health-based. They were chosen because they were easy to achieve. Meaning none of these levels, or a hundred times these levels, are harmful. Even though more tritium has been formed in the last 60 years than all other radionuclides combined, there has never been a correlation of tritium with cancer or any other health effects in humans. Why is this the case? Hydrogen is a really small atom and easily gets through microscopic pores, even biological membranes and cell walls. Tritium (still hydrogen just heavier) can be found in water molecules (since water is two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom) and in organic materials which are mainly hydrogen and carbon. In fact, because tritium is three times heavier than normal hydrogen, tritium tends to replace normal hydrogen in water molecules, rapidly diluting any tritium in our bodies and in the environment. Our bodies are mostly hydrogen, and that is mostly in water. So while tritium’s radioactive half-life is 12.3 years, its biological half-life in our bodies is only 10 days. Therefore, ingestion of this weak emitter doesn’t have the same effect as most other ingested radionuclides.

  1425. 2/ It’s also difficult for the extremely low-energy beta from tritium to get through the water, cell walls and other materials in between the radionuclide and any DNA. The energy in the slow-moving beta from tritium mostly gets dispersed within the electron clouds of other molecules through inelastic collisions and the Bremsstrahlung effect. This turns the kinetic energy of the beta emission into electromagnetic non-ionizing energy. In the end, it’s really difficult to get a large radiation dose from tritium, unlike any other radionuclide. It exits the body and is diluted too quickly. Even more important, there’s more tritium in the atmosphere from natural processes and left over from old bomb testing, than ever has been, or will be, released from commercial reactors. Cosmic rays produce four million curies worth of tritium every year (150,000,000,000,000,000 Bq) in the upper atmosphere, much of which rains out into surface waters that we end up drinking. Presently, however, the biggest source of tritium is from old above ground nuclear bomb tests that caused a peak in atmospheric tritium in 1963. These amounts of tritium from other sources are millions of times greater than what would be slowly released from these tanks at Fukushima. Since there’s been no health or environmental effects from any of these larger sources, it’s hard to get excited about dumping such a tiny amount from Fukushima into the ocean. Besides, there are 16,280,000,000,000,000,000,000 Bq of potassium-40, rubidium-87 and many more radionuclides already in the world’s oceans. So the fish are swimming in plenty of natural radioactive material. The biological half-life of tritium in fish and marine life is even shorter than in humans, less than 2 days and the dilution in seawater would be too rapid for any significant dose to get back to any people. Opposite to many other radionuclides, the physical and chemical properties of tritium means it does not concentrate up the food change, it dilutes up the food chain. So while Japanese fishermen fear this strategy of release from a public relations perspective, their fish will still test negative with respect to food radiation limits and their packaged fish sold at market would still carry the official ‘safe’ stickers. So it all comes down to perception and fear. We as scientists can give you the answers, but you can ignore them if you want, especially since non-scientists make these decisions anyway.

  1426. The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abd*ucted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council. They are swi*ndlers"

  1427. One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  1428. [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school. —-

Her human rights was likely violated by UN/US soldiers. 122 former Korean comfort women served for the UN/US soldiers sued their government in 2014. While Korean comfort women who sued Japan were only 9 in 1991. It means the US had more sex slaves than Japan.

  1430. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen.

  1433. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  1434. The world Authority of disposal of nuclear waste says: “Scientists have been urging the Japanese government to slowly release tritium water from the Fukushima accident into the Pacific Ocean over about a ten-year period. The water is stored on-site in 900 or so large tanks. All of the other radioactive elements have been removed from the water by chemical treatment. Although not intuitive, this is a very good idea.

In particular, Pae spoke to her at length and repeatedly of Ishikawa, the Japanese soldier who fell in love with her and asked her to marry him when the war was over: Ishikawa is the one who comes to my thoughts even now. . . . Once, he took off his undershirt, drew a Japanese flag on it, and then wrote his name and mine. Then, he inscribed it, “I will never forget you even if I die.” You know what he wrote that with? With his own blood. The sight of the blood frightened me. When I told him that I didn’t like it, he put his head down like a criminal and cried. . . . There were times when he made me detest him but his persistence moved my heart. He broke the rules many times because he could not help himself. He wanted to see me so much. So many times, he was punished. Sometimes, he would be kicked and thrown into the mud. His uniform would become muddy. I washed it, ironed it, and put it back on him. Sometimes, if I saw an officer coming, I would hide him. He brought me all kinds of things—soap, candies, anything he could put his hands on. He was absolutely crazy about me. I believe he really loved me. Back then, I didn’t know. I felt something for him but I said nothing to him. I didn’t say I liked him. Now? I would hug him close to me, kiss him, and tell him that I love him. I would do that now, but not back then. -The Comfort women P189

  1442. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

Her human rights has been likely violated by UN/US soldiers. 122 of Korean comfort women for the UN/US sued their government in 2014. While Korean comfort women who sued Japan were only 9 in 1991.

  1444. “Footage of most famous Comfort Women Lee Yong-soo filmed in 1992 is now found, in which she testified that she became Comfort Woman just because she followed a man who gave her a dress and shoes, NOT because she was tricked or abducted by force by Imperial Japanese Army. The footage filmed on Aug 15th, 1992 at KBS. That seems a little bit ironic that the announcer reconfirmed that she became Comfort Woman NOT because she was abd*ucted by force by Imperial Japanese Army, but she just followed a man by her own will.” —— ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city.

That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a war crim*inal. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

  1447. "Japonya'nın Kore'ye karşı işlediği iddia edilen suçlarla ilgili en sık tekrarlanan ve en çarpık efsanelerden biri, sözde “konfor kadınları" ile ilgilidir” Almanya Japonya doğru olmasa da “suçlarını telafi” olduğunu sonunda hakkındaki iddialar. Sadece bir yönü düşünmeme izin verin. 1965'te Kore hükümeti Park Chung-hee, iki ülke arasındaki ilişkileri normalleştiren Japonya ile bir anlaşma imzaladı. Antlaşma uyarınca Güney Kore, Japon egemenliğinin kurbanları için çok büyük miktarda ekonomik yardım, hibe, kredi ve önemli ölçüde tazminat aldı. (Japon hükümeti ulusal bütçenin 2,5 katını tazminat olarak ödedi, ancak Kore'de 40 yıl boyunca Japonya'ya karşı nefreti kışkırtmak için gizli tuttu ve Kore hükümeti gerçeği gizlemeye devam ediyor. Tüm bireysel iddialar 1965 Japonya-Güney Kore Antlaşması'nda çözülmesine rağmen, Japon hükümeti Koreli kadınlara birkaç kez iyi bir jest olarak tazminat teklif etti. Bununla birlikte, Japonya 1995 yılında Asya kadın Fonu aracılığıyla tazminat teklif ettiğinde(tazminat, Japonya Başbakanı'ndan kişisel bir özür mektubu ile geldi), Güney Koreli STK, eski konfor kadınlarını Japonya'nın özürünü ve tazminatını kabul etmemekle tehdit etti. STK'NIN emrine meydan okuyanların 61'i hain olarak doğrulandı, isimleri ve adresleri gazetelerde fahişe olarak yayınlandı ve hayatlarının geri kalanını utanç içinde yaşamak zorunda kaldılar. Güney Kore hükümeti, 2015 yılında konfor kadınları konusunda Japonya-Kore anlaşması imzaladı ve Japon hükümeti eski Koreli konfor kadınlarına kefaret parası olarak 1 milyar dolar ödedi. Ancak, Kore Moon Jae In yönetimi, 2018'de herhangi bir bildirimde bulunmaksızın anlaşmayı terk etti. Fesih duyurusu Japonya için tamamen kabul edilemez. Cumhurbaşkanı Moon Jae-in de dahil olmak üzere ROK Hükümeti, defalarca “anlaşmayı terk etmeyeceğini” ve “Japonya ile yeniden müzakere istemeyeceğini " belirtti”) - O sırada Japon hükümeti bireysel kurbanları telafi etmeyi teklif etti, ancak Güney Kore hükümeti teklifi reddetti ve tüm parayı alması ve vatandaşlarını telafi etmesi konusunda ısrar etti. Bu paranın çok azı (sadece 250 ABD doları) bireylere ödendi ve bunun yerine Güney Kore'nin ekonomik gelişimi için kullanıldı. Japon hükümeti, konfor kadın sistemi için özür diledi (aslında savaştan önce hem Kore hem de Japonya'da var olan ve çok sayıda Japon fahişenin yanı sıra diğer ülkelerden gelenleri de içeren lisanslı fuhuş sisteminin bir uzantısıydı), Almanya hiçbir zaman özür dilemedi veya eski fahişelere herhangi bir tazminat ödemedi. Aslında, hiç kimse böyle bir şey talep etmedi, çünkü işgal altındaki ülkelerde haklı ya da yanlış bir şekilde işbirlikçi olarak görülen bu kadınlar hiçbir zaman destekçi ya da savunucu bulamadılar” - Profesör Andrzej Kozlowski, Varşova Üniversitesi

  1454. Korea is the one who deny war crimes in Vietnam They’re awaiting for apology from Korea. “First, SK government has denied the k*lings since the beginning. Involved military leaders imply that the k*lings were a Communist conspiracy. K government claims such systemic and organized mass*acres didn’t happen. SK government has declined requests to publicize their 1969 investigation into the mass*acres. Several liberal presidents have made apologetic statements, but they never directly mentioned the mass*acres or admitted to the k*llings. Such remarks were even contradicted by other presidential statements praising K troops’ involvement in Vietnam. Second, domestic politics prevented the issue from making it onto governmental agendas. In the 1960s, K under Park Chung-hee’s authoritarian leadership imposed strict regulations on freedom of speech, which helped the military cover up the mass*acres. Anyone who came out against the troops could be tort*ured or impri*soned. In modern time, prominent conservatives in SK promote Korean troops in Vietnam as “heroes” and prevent liberal leaders, such as current President Moon Jae-in, from making a full apology.“ -The diplomat By Hoang Do -

  1458. Professor Alleyne Ireland of University of Chicago was the leading expert on colonial administration in Asia. He gained deep knowledge of Japan's annexation of K from his visit there in 1922. The following are excerpts from his book "The New Korea" published in 1926. - It is true that at the time Japan annexed K in 1910, the actual conditions of life in the Peninsula were extremely bad. From 1910 to 1919 Japanese rule in K, though it accomplished much good for the people, bore the stamp of a military stiffness which aroused a great deal of resentment. The New Korea of which I write is the K which has developed under the wise and sympathetic guidance of Governor-General Saito. At the time of my own visit to K in 1922, the Governor-General had nearly completed three years of his tenure in the office. The following is the list of measures Governor-General Saito introduced upon his arrival in 1919.   1.  Non-discrimination between Japanese and K officials.   2.  Simplification of laws and regulations.   3.  Prompt transaction of state business.   4.  Decentralization policy.   5.  Improvement in local organization.   6.  Respect for native culture and customs.   7.  Freedom of speech, meeting and press.   8.  Spread of education and development of industry.   9.  Re-organization of the police system. 10.  Enlargement of medical and sanitary agencies. 11.  Guidance of the people. 12.  Advancement of men of talent. 13.  Friendly feeling between Japanese and K. The general consensus of opinion in K in 1922 was that Governor-General Saito had been animated by a sincere desire to rule K through a just and tolerant administration, that he had accomplished notable reforms, that in the matter of education he had ministered very generously to the cultural ambitions of the people, and that in regard to their political ambitions he had shown himself eager to foster local self-government and to infuse a spirit of friendliness and cooperation into the personal relations of the Japanese and K. Discussing K affairs with a good many people (Korean, Japanese and foreign) I found almost unanimous agreement on two points: one, that native sentiment had shown a continuing tendency to become less anti-Japanese in recent years; the other, that the remarkable increase in the country's prosperity had been accompanied by a striking improvement in the living conditions of the K people at large. Writing now, four years after the date of my visit, and having in mind the most recent accounts of the state of Korea, I can express my conviction that there has occurred a steady and accelerating improvement in the general conditions of the country, in the administrative organization and personnel, and in the temper of the intercourse between the K and the Japanese.

  1463. The US government, under the Clinton and Bush administrations, spent 7 years and 30 million dollars to look into Nazi and Japanese war crimes. After 7 years of research, they found no evidence of the forced prostitution of comfort women, the Nanjing Massacre. The IWG report was published in the spring of 2007. Out of millions of pages of newly declassified material, much of it related to Japan, and they were unable to find evidence of forced prostitution. They also looked for information about the Nanjing Massacre and unit 731, but found no smoking guns. Nobody doubts that there was a massacre in Nanjing, and nobody doubts the Chinese ability to exaggerate by orders of magnitude, and then to believe their own stories. A Chinese organization lobbied for the IWG investigation. The “Global Alliance for Preserving the History of WWII in Asia” (Global Alliance). It should be noted that Global Alliance was closely associated with Iris Chang, author of “The Rape of Nanking”. Surprisingly, the IWG report offers an apology to Global Alliance for not finding anything.

  1465. It’s been a bizarrely unending story. Elderly Korean women claim to have been forced at Japanese bayonet-point to work as sex slaves. The Japanese government replies that the Korean government waived claims like this by treaty in 1965. But it expresses sympathy anyway, and offers more money. Koreans still complain. The Japanese government apologizes again, offers more money, and the Korean government promises never to raise the question again. Then a new political party takes power, declares the Japanese apology insincere, and starts the process all over again. Expressing sympathy to elderly women who have had a rough life is fine. Paying money to an ally in order to rebuild a stable relationship is fine. But the claims about enslaved Korean comfort women are historically untrue. The Japanese army did not dragoon Korean women to work in its brothels. It did not use Korean women as sex slaves. The claims to the contrary are simply ー factually ー false. -Harvard economics and law

That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a collaborator So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

  1470. The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent and untrustworthy as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “All Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abd*ucted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed."

  1471. Korean scholar testified: “I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council (Comfort women’s organization) to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros*tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean sp ies) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.” - Comfort Women Articles by Scholars

  1474. “During the war, I heard from a war comrade of mine that he had been engaged to a Korean comfort woman. At that time, my comrade showed me two photographs of the woman. He said that they loved each other and had got engaged. She was beautiful, and he held that picture close to his chest as he went on to the battlefields. So, it was a really pure relationship. When listening to the story of the woman in question, she said “I was engaged to that soldier”. Whenever, my comrade was given leave to go out once a week, he would visit the comfort woman brothel. The woman was always waiting for him. She always told him to “take me back to Tokyo with you as quickly as possible”, and my comrade intended to do that. They all lived harmoniously, like a family.”

  1475.  @lucisventusnoctis  Truth about the Annexation of Korea after One Hundred Years ―Criticism over Japan’s Annexation of Korea Is Totally Ungrounded― By Ko Bunyu (Huang Wenxing), a commentator When it comes to this matter, both Japan and Korea eagerly bring up such terms as “invasion” and “colonial rule”. But these are not true. We should not be dazzled by the ingenious fabrication the Koreans have made with their marvelous talent to distort history and by opinions catering to such fabrication. It was the Japanese people that were exploited This year, 2010, marks the one hundredth anniversary of Japan’s annexation of Korea. If you divide the 100 years into two periods, namely, “36 years of Imperial Japanese rule” as the Koreans fondly refer to on one hand, and roughly 60 years after World War II on the other, and then compare the two, you will get completely opposite views. During the postwar years, Korean historians have developed or fabricated the so-called “36 years of Imperial Japan’s rule”, which refers to the period when the Office of the Governor-General of Korea, established after Japan’s annexation of Korea, was fully in charge of the Korean military and administration. The history claimed by the Koreans of these 36 years is utterly different from the actual one. I believe it is a major and proper task to ponder why such false history has come to be told as the truth on the occasion of the one-hundredth anniversary of the Japanese-Korean annexation. But arguing with Korean historians over this subject poses extreme difficulties. As I myself have often experienced, Korean scholars easily lose their tempers. When I tell them my views, they angrily argue back, hollering, “Look, you Taiwanese are sheer barbarians. How dare you meddle in matters between Japan and Korea? That’s none of your business,” and then abruptly leave the room. If you read what Korean scholars write, you’ll find entire pages filled with self-assertions without a shred of objective argument. Contradictions abound in the same book. Particularly, figures are just a mess and make no sense at all. I must say that Koreans are utterly indifferent to statistics. What is most remarkable about Korean views of modern and contemporary history is that they attribute everything to bilateral conflicts—the perpetrators and the victims, or the exploiters and the exploited. This is not a historical view, but a political one. They assert that Korea was invaded by Japan, exploited under Imperial Japanese rule of 36 years and prevented from achieving national prosperity, and that therefore they rightly demand an apology and sincere self-reflection of Japan. However, apology and self-reflection should belong to the political arena, and not to history. Political matters should be dealt with among politicians. As long as historical facts are concerned, there is neither reflecting nor apologizing. Moreover, speaking of the exploiters and the exploited, it was not the Koreans but rather the Japanese people who were exploited. The Office of the Governor-General of Korea annually spent 18% to 20% of the tax money which Japanese nationals paid, investing it in establishing Korean infrastructure. While the Taiwanese achieved their own economic self-reliance in ten years, Koreans remained dependent on financial support from Japan for 36 years during the Governor-General’s administration. It is a vital fact that the Japanese were the exploited. The “36 years of Imperial Japan’s rule” is an ingenious invention of the Koreans who are experts at distorting history. Like the Korean-style dramas that are popular in Japan, it is another Korean “hit product”. The Korean dramas are now beginning to become a phenomenon of the past. Likewise, the Japanese people should be well aware that the theory of the “36 year-long Imperial Japanese rule” has by now become unfashionable.

  1478. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen.

  1479. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  1481. There were about half a dozen cases of forced recruitment in the Dutch East Indies. One involved the illegal recruitment of Dutch women, which was uncovered by an inspecting Japanese military officer and reported to higher headquarters. The comfort station was shut down and the women released. There were no reported comfort women war crimes trials in the Australian area of operation. No other Allied wartime military records of persecution of the Japanese military for illegal recruitment of comfort women could be found.

  1485. An article in Korean newspaper Kyunghyang Shinmun on June 6, 1977. It says that a Korean comfort station owner traffi/cked dozens of Korean comfort women to Asia to provide sex to Japanese/Korean soldiers there during World War II. It was common knowledge in Korea until the 1970s that Korean comfort station owners recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations, and no Koreans opposed that concept. Then Japanese newspaper published a series of fabricated articles in the 1980's falsely accusing Japanese military of coercing Korean comfort women. Korean communists with close ties to NK thought this was a great opportunity to defame Japan and block reconciliation between Japan and Korea. So they formed the anti-Japan lobby group in 1990 and began spreading comfort women’s false testimonies worldwide. Their tactic was to use the case of a small number of Dutch indonesia women who were coerced by lower ranked Japanese soldiers and make it look like the same thing happened to tens of thousands of Korean women. Since they had no evidence, they coached Korean women to testify falsely.

  1486. Japonya'nın Kore'ye karşı işlediği iddia edilen suçlarla ilgili en sık tekrarlanan ve en çarpıtılmış efsanelerden biri, sözde “konfor kadınları " ile ilgilidir” Almanya Japonya doğru olmasa da “suçlarını telafi” olduğunu sonunda hakkındaki iddialar. Sadece bir yönü düşünmeme izin verin. 1965'te Kore hükümeti Park Chung-hee, iki ülke arasındaki ilişkileri normalleştiren Japonya ile bir anlaşma imzaladı. Anlaşmaya göre Güney Kore, Japon yönetiminin mağdurları için çok büyük miktarda ekonomik yardım, hibe, kredi ve önemli ölçüde tazminat aldı. (Japon hükümeti ulusal bütçenin 3 katını tazminat olarak ödedi, ancak Kore'de 40 yıl boyunca Japonya'ya karşı nefreti kışkırtmak için gizli tuttu ve Kore hükümeti gerçeği gizlemeye çalışıyor. Tüm bireysel iddialar 1965 Japonya-Güney Kore Antlaşması'nda çözülmesine rağmen, Japon hükümeti hala Koreli kadınlara iyi bir jest olarak birkaç kez tazminat teklif etti. Bununla birlikte, Japonya 1995 yılında Asya kadın Fonu aracılığıyla tazminat teklif ettiğinde (tazminat Japonya Başbakanı'ndan kişisel bir özür mektubu ile geldi), Güney Koreli STK eski konfor kadınlarını Japonya'nın özrünü ve tazminatını kabul etmemekle tehdit etti. STK'NIN emrine meydan okuyanların 61'i hain olarak doğrulandı, isimleri ve adresleri gazetelerde fahişe olarak yayınlandı ve hayatlarının geri kalanını utanç içinde yaşamak zorunda kaldılar. Güney Kore hükümeti, 2015 yılında konfor kadınları konusunda Japonya-Kore anlaşması imzaladı ve Japon hükümeti, eski Kore konfor kadınlarına kefaret parası olarak 1 milyar dolar ödedi. Ancak, Kore'nin Moon Jae In yönetimi, 2018'teki anlaşmayı herhangi bir bildirimde bulunmadan terk etti . Dağılma duyurusu Japonya için tamamen kabul edilemez. Başkan Moon Jae-in de dahil olmak üzere ROK Hükümeti, kamuoyunda defalarca “anlaşmayı terk etmeyeceğini” ve “Japonya ile yeniden müzakere istemeyeceğini " belirtti”) - O sırada Japon hükümeti (1965) bireysel mağdurları tazmin etmeyi teklif etti, ancak Güney Kore hükümeti teklifi reddetti ve tüm parayı alması ve vatandaşlarını tazmin etmesi konusunda ısrar etti. Bu paranın çok azı (sadece 250 ABD doları) bireylere ödendi ve bunun yerine Güney Kore'nin ekonomik gelişimi için kullanıldı. Japon hükümeti (aslında savaştan önce ve hem de diğer ülkelerden gelen Japon fahişelerin büyük bir sayı söz konusu olan Kore ve Japonya'da hem de var olan lisanslı fuhuş sisteminin bir uzantısı olan) konfor kadınlar sistemi için özür diledi, Almanya özür dilemedi ya da herhangi bir eski fahişeler için herhangi bir tazminat ödedi. Aslında, hiç kimse böyle bir şey talep etmedi, çünkü işgal altındaki ülkelerde doğru ya da yanlış işbirlikçi olarak görülen bu kadınlar hiçbir zaman destekçi ya da savunucu bulamadılar” - Profesör Andrzej Kozlowski, Varşova Üniversitesi

  1491.  @wildec2  . The death toll of the march is difficult to assess as thousands of captives were able to escape from their guards. In some instances, prisoners were even released by their Japanese counterparts. Out of fear that the prisoners would be mistreated, Colonel Takeo Imai made the humanitarian decision of releasing more than 1,000 of his prisoners into the jungle. Hong Sa-ik was an ethnic Korean who became the overall commander of the Japanese prison camps in the Philippines. He was even held responsible for the atrocities committed in the Japanese prison camps. and he was executed as a war criminal.

  1492.  @rimps996  The Japanese military sent notices to comfort station operators prohibiting them to recruit women against their will. The Japanese comfort station operators followed the order and only recruited willing women in Japan, but the Korean operators didn't follow the order and recruited both willing pros**tutes and unwilling women in Korea. If the Korean operators had followed the order, there wouldn't have been any comfort women issue. Many of Korean comfort women's fathers had debts from alcohol, gambling, etc. and sold their daughters without daughters' consent. The Korean comfort station owners took over their debts, and depending on the amount of the debt, each woman's contract length was determined. Korean women were not allowed to leave until their debts were paid off. Any coercion, violence or confinement was exercised by the Korean owners. So if one wants to use the term "se*x slaves" to describe former Korean comfort women, they were the sex slaves of Korean comfort station owners. They were not the se*x slaves of the Japanese military. The Japanese military's involvement was limited to conducting sexually transmitted disease checkups and providing transportation to comfort station owners and comfort women.

  1494. The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the extremely leftist organization “Korean Council“ ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abd*ucted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council. They are swi*ndlers"

  1495. “Footage of most famous Comfort Women Lee Yong-soo filmed in 1992 is now found, in which she testified that she became Comfort Woman just because she followed a man who gave her a dress and shoes, NOT because she was tricked or abducted by force by Imperial Japanese Army. The footage filmed on Aug 15th, 1992 at KBS. That seems a little bit ironic that the announcer reconfirmed that she became Comfort Woman NOT because she was abd*ucted by force by Imperial Japanese Army, but she just followed a man by her own will.” —— ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched.

  1496. A Taiwanese eye witness commenting about the time when Taiwan was under the rule of Japan. "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a war crim*inal. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

  1497. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

Her human rights has been likely violated by UN/US soldiers. 122 of Korean comfort women for the UN/US sued their government in 2014. While Korean comfort women who sued Japan were only 9 in 1991.

  1500. "Uno de los mitos más repetidos y más distorsionados sobre los supuestos crímenes de Japón contra Corea, se refiere a las llamadas" mujeres de solaz " Finalmente, sobre las afirmaciones de que Alemania ha "expiado" adecuadamente sus crímenes mientras que Japón no lo ha hecho. Permítanme considerar solo un aspecto. En 1965, el gobierno coreano de Park Chung-hee firmó un tratado con Japón, normalizando las relaciones entre los dos países. Bajo el tratado, Corea del Sur recibió grandes cantidades de ayuda económica, subvenciones, préstamos y, significativamente, compensación para las víctimas del dominio japonés. (El gobierno japonés pagó 2,5 veces el presupuesto nacional como compensación, pero lo mantuvo en secreto durante 40 años en Corea para incitar al odio hacia Japón y el gobierno de Corea sigue tratando de ocultar la verdad. Aunque todas las reclamaciones individuales se resolvieron en el Tratado de 1965 entre Japón y Corea del Sur, el gobierno japonés aún ofreció una compensación varias veces a las mujeres coreanas como un buen gesto. Sin embargo, cuando Japón ofreció una compensación a través del Asian Women's Fund en 1995 (la compensación llegó con una carta personal de disculpa del primer ministro de Japón), la ONG surcoreana amenazó a las ex mujeres de solaz para que no aceptaran la disculpa de Japón y la compensación. 61 de las que desafiaron la orden de la ONG fueron verificadas como traidoras, sus nombres y direcciones se publicaron en los periódicos como prostitutas y tuvieron que vivir el resto de sus vidas en desgracia). - El gobierno japonés en ese momento ofreció compensar a las víctimas individuales, pero el gobierno de Corea del Sur rechazó la oferta e insistió en que debería recibir todo el dinero y compensar a sus ciudadanos. Muy poco de este dinero (solo USD 250 por persona) se pagó a particulares y, en cambio, se utilizó para el desarrollo económico de Corea del Sur. El gobierno japonés se ha disculpado por su sistema de mujeres de solaz (que en realidad era una extensión del sistema de prostitución con licencia que existía tanto en Corea como en Japón antes de la guerra y que involucraba a un gran número de prostitutas japonesas y de otros países), Alemania nunca se ha disculpado ni pagado indemnización alguna a ninguna ex prostituta. De hecho, nunca nadie ha exigido tales cosas, ya que estas mujeres, que con razón o sin ella fueron vistas como colaboradoras en los países ocupados, nunca encontraron partidarios o defensores ” -Profesor Andrzej Kozlowski, Universidad de Varsovia

  1502. 1959 Oct 19 Donga Ilbo - "66% of Comfort Women Infected" October 19, 1959 ab article from the South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo. It is entitled "66% of Comfort Women Infected--Results of a Nationwide Testing of Female Entertainers." The article talks about how nationwide 392,707 female entertainers, including 261,089 comfort women, were tested for venereal disease over a 1-year period. The article is evidence that in 1959 Korea was registering women to be "comfort women," which was a euphemism for "military prostitute." Korea was registering women to be prostitutes for UN soldiers stationed in Korea. The 261,089 comfort woment mentioned in the article is evidence that Korea had a significant number of comfort women, of which 66.4% were infected with a veneral disease. In the 1990s South Koreans begin criticizing Japan for its comfort women system in World War II, but have hardly said anything about its own comfort women system "If Koreans thoght the Japanese comfort women system was so bad, why did the Korean Government set up a similar 'comfort women' system for UN soldiers after the Japanese left Korea?"

  1503. Comfort Women and the Professors -Harvard university Abstract: We in the West have embraced an odd "narrative." The Japanese army of the 1930s and 1940s, we write, forcibly drafted 200,000 mostly Korean teenage girls into "ra*pe camps" called "comfort stations." Should anyone question the story, we summarily consign the person to "denier" status. This makes for a strange phenomenon. Only a few of the comfort women claim to have been forcibly recruited, and several of them had told a different story before the reparations campaign against Japan began. A strongly leftist affiliate runs their nursing home, controls whom they can see, and vilifies any woman who might say anything else. In fact, no one has ever located any documentary evidence that the Japanese military forcibly recruited any Korean woman into a comfort station. And when Korean academics question the orthodox account, their own government sometimes prosecutes them for criminal defamation -- indeed, sent one heterodox professor last fall to six months in prison

  1504. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen.

  1505. This vicious comfort women organization ”Korean council” is spreading the comfort women lies and anti-Japanese propaganda not only in Korea but all over the world. Their tactics is visiting Asian countries such as the Philippines and luring elderly women in this way. "If you testify that you were forcibly taken by Japanese soldiers, you can get money from the Japanese government, so please come forward.” And poor Asian women gave false testimonies for money. In reality, most of them were voluntary professionals or were sold by their parents, and the Korean owners made huge profits by running the comfort stations. The Japanese government was deceived by their lies and apologized many times and paid a large amount of compensation. However, the Korean comfort women organization threatened the Korean women to prevent them from receiving the money. If they really don't want the money, then why are the representatives of the comfort women organisation being prosecuted for embezzling donations? Where did the money that they received from Japanese government go?

  1506. The BBC report in effect calls attention to Korea’s double standard.

  1507. “Anybody who puts on the same plane Japan’s behaviour during World War II and the German one, and who comments unfavorably on Japan’s post war response to its defeat with the German one is either very ignorant or needs a serious reset of his moral compass” One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 2.5 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995(Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notice. The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) -

  1508. The Japanese government at that time offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  1509. A Chinese group recruited a Philippines human rights organization in secretly working to have this statue erected without the knowledge of the foreign ministry, and with little detail given to the host city government. A historical commission seemed to have coordinated with the women’s group, but is now pointing fingers after having issued a permit faster than it usually does. One of the commission’s members said that the local human rights group Lila Pilipina and other organizations started to work on the comfort woman statue in 2014, and that these groups came to the commission in October of 2017, requesting the inscription to be made. Lila Pilipina is the same group that brought South Korean comfort women activism to the Philippines in the 1990s. Open Only to Chinese Media The names of five individuals and groups are inscribed on the back of the pedestal as donors. Almost all of them are Chinese. Also inscribed, in English, is “Statue of a Filipino Comfort Woman,” along with the name of the Filipino maker of the statue. We asked several people who stopped to look at the statue whether they had ever heard of comfort women before. Not a single person was able to say who the comfort women were. The Wai Ming Charitable Foundation Fund Company Limited, appearing last on the pedestal donor list, is a Hong Kong-based organization whose founder, Chung Wai Ming, is believed to have supported comfort women relief on the Chinese mainland as well as the demands for reparations from Japan. Chinese anti-Japan propaganda, which makes full use of the overseas Chinese network under the “comfort women” banner, was also undertaken in 2015 in Australia. However, the petition to erect a comfort woman statue in a public place was not recognized there on the grounds that it was outside the purview of the local city government to make decisions on such matters. - Foreign Ministry Didn’t Know: Chinese Hand Seen in Comfort Women Statue in Manila

  1511. Numerous wartime documents define comfort women as prostitutes. ⚫︎Contemporary U.S. Military Sources One primary source is Report No. 49, U.S. Office of War Information, dated October 1, 1944. This is an interrogation report of 20 Korean comfort women in Burma. This report clearly states: A “comfort woman” is nothing more than a pros**tute or professional camp follower. ⚫︎Allied Translator Records and Captured Japanese Documents Another primary source is found in the ATIS (Allied Translator/Interpreter Section) Research Report No. 120. It says, “Amenities of the Japanese Armed Forces,” dated November 15, 1945. Among them are the following: From a captured Japanese document, “Rules for Restaurants and Houses of Pros**tution,” dated February 1943: MANILA: “Persons receiving permission to open business [comfort station] will…submit…copy of personal histories of employees….” “Permission is necessary before anyone joins the establishment.” SHANGHAI SECTOR: “The pros**tutes will possess licenses….” “Unlicensed pros**tutes are strictly prohibited from plying their trade.” “The pros**tute and the operator will share equally the proceeds of the work done by the pros**tute.” “Tacloban Brothel Regulations,” undated: “Places called brothels in these regulations are special brothels operated with Filipino women (licensed pros**tutes).”

Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian.

In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  1515. Kim said she has never received an apology from Japan, which is a flat-out lie. The truth is that comfort women's organization “Korean council” embezzle donations, force comfort women to lie, obstruct reconciliation with Japan, so that they can continue the comfort women propaganda. Japan has apologized many times and paid huge amounts of atonement money to the Korean women, but the Korean government has not given it to the women. *Japan-South Korea Treaty of 1965 During treaty negotiations, the Japanese government asked the S Korean government to identify and separate individual claims from the treaty because the Japanese government wanted to make sure the survivors received compensation. The South Korean government declined and accepted the entire sum of 800 million dollars (over ten billion dollars in today's money) in place of its citizens and spent all of it on infrastructures. Therefore it is not reasonable for the South Korean government to keep asking for additional compensation from Japan. And their claim that they were forced into pros**tution is also a lie. A Korean professor interviewed the Korean women in 2003. After the interview professor commented: “I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean spi*es) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.”

  1520. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen.

  1521. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine.

It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  1523. One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

The US Report, of 20 Korean comfort girls: “Prisoner of War, his wife and sister-in-law had made some money as restaurant keepers in KEIJO [present-day Seoul], KOREA, but their trade declining, they looked for an opportunity to make more money and applied to Army Headquarters in KEIJO for permission to take ‘comfort girls’ from KOREA to BURMA….” “Prisoner of war purchased 22 Korean girls, paying their families from 300 to 1000 yen according to the personality, looks and age of the girl. These 22 girls were of ages from 19 to 31. They became the sole property of prisoner of war and the Army made no profits from them….” “Every ‘comfort girl’ was employed on the following contract conditions. She received fifty percent of her own gross takings and was provided with free passage, free food and free medical treatment. The passage and medical treatment were provided by the Army authorities, the food was purchased by the brothel owner with the assistance of the Army supply depots. The owners made other profits by selling clothing, necessities and luxuries to the girls at exorbitant charges. When a girl is able to repay the sum of money paid to her family, plus interest, she should be provided with a free return passage to KOREA, and then considered free….”

In reality, it is deeper. The key player is increasingly not South Korea, but China, and the ultimate target is not Japan, but the United States, as the comfort women are co-opted by Beijing in its anti-American information war”

  1527. One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995(Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  1528. Anyone who actually believes the comfort women myth without mentioning the current crimes against women in places like China and SK, is an obvious shill. 【Thai women forced into Dubai sex trade rescued】6 MAY 2021 Seven Thai women who were lured to work as se*x workers in Dubai have been rescued and will return to Thailand soon, according to the Department of Special Investigation (DSI). Pol Lt Col Korawat said Dubai authorities found there were seven Thai women working as pros**tutes there. The brothel was owned by 『Chinese people and overseen by Koreans.』 According to the DSI chief, each Thai woman duped to work in Dubai had paid 5,000 baht to Thai agents as a commission. Once they arrived they were ordered to delete their online conversations and were picked up by Chinese women at the airport. At the brothel, their passports were seized and they were deta:ined in service rooms, waiting to serve customers. The DSI said the procurers threatened to beat them if they did not sell their bo:dies to repay the 70,000-baht incurred in travel costs.

Japanese government apologized and paid huge amounts of compensation to the former pros**tutes. On the other hand, SK government never apologize even deny it’s wrongdoing in Vietnam 【Who are the Lai Dai Han?】 The “Lai Dai Han” are the tens of thousands of children of Vietnamese women ra*ped by South Korean soldiers during the Vietnam War. Between 1964 and 1973, some 320,000 South Korean soldiers were deployed to Vietnam to fight alongside the United States. Some of the women that were ra*ped or experienced sex*ual violence were as young as 【12 or 13 】at the time, and more than 800 victims are still alive. Today, as a result of the ra*pe and sexual violence that took place, tens of thousands of young adults of mixed Vietnamese-Korean heritage live in the shadows of Vietnamese society. Many of the Lai Dai Han and their families live in severe poverty, cannot read or write and do not have access to social services, such as healthcare and education. The Government of South Korea has never recognised the se*xual violence that took place and has never apologised for the crimes of its soldiers.

  1532. Komünistlerin propagandasına kanmayın. [Burma, Singapur'daki konfor istasyonlarında Koreli işçi tarafından yazılan günlük bulundu] Güney Kore'de bulunan burma'daki savaş genelevlerinde çalışan Koreli bir adam tarafından yazılan günlük. Seul-İkinci Dünya Savaşı sırasında Burma (şu anki Myanmar) ve Singapur'daki savaş genelevlerinde çalışan Koreli bir adam tarafından yazılan bir günlük, Japon imparatorluk ordusunun Japon askerleri için tartışmalı konfor istasyonlarındaki rolünün ardındaki gerçeğe ışık tutabilecek bir keşif bulundu. Koreli adam, 1942'de Kore Yarımadası'ndaki Busan Limanı'ndan ayrılan "4.konfor Kolordu" nda yer aldı. 1944'ün sonlarında eve döndü. Günlüğü, Japonya, Güney Kore ve diğer ülkelerde bulunan türünün ilk örneğidir. Savaş sırasında Japon İmparatorluk ordusu için sözde "konfor kadınları" konusunda, tanıklıkların çoğu savaşın bitiminden birkaç on yıl sonra yapıldı. Koreli adam tarafından yazılan günlük - aslında savaş genelevlerine tanık olan üçüncü bir kişi-dikenli konuyla ilgili soğukkanlı tartışmaların önünü açmak için önemli bir malzemedir. Günlük, modern Kore ekonomik tarihinde uzmanlaşmış ve konfor kadınları konusunda bilgili olan Seul Üniversitesi'nde profesör olan Ahn Byong Jik tarafından keşfedildi. Seul banliyölerinde bir müze, yaklaşık 10 yıl önce ikinci el bir kitapçıda bir günlük ve diğer materyalleri buldu. Ahn, malzemeleri tararken günlüğü buldu. Günlük, 1943'ten 1944'e kadar savaş genelevlerinde çalışırken Kore Yarımadası'nın batı kesiminde Kyongsang-namdo'dan bir adam tarafından yazılmıştır. Çince karakterler, katakana ve Kore alfabeleri ile yazılmıştır. Adam 1905'te doğdu ve 1979'da öldü. 1922'den 1957'ye kadar yazdığı günlüğü bugün görülebilir. Günlüğünde, adam 10 Temmuz 1943'te şöyle yazdı: "geçen yıl şu anda Busan İskelesi'nde bir gemiye bindim ve güneye giden yolculukta ilk adımı attım."6 Nisan 1944'te şöyle yazdı:" iki yıl önce bir konfor ekibi Busan'dan ayrıldığında, dördüncü konfor Kolordu Başkanı olarak gelen Bay Tsumura çalışıyordu (bir pazarda)." Kasım 1945'te burma'da yakalanan konfor istasyonlarının yöneticilerini sorgulayan ABD askerleri tarafından derlenen bir araştırma raporu, 703 konfor kadınının ve yaklaşık 90 iş operatörünün 10 Temmuz 1942'de Busan Limanı'ndan ayrıldığını söylüyor. Günlüğünün doğruluğu, ayrılış tarihinin aynı olması gerçeğiyle desteklenir. Ahn şöyle diyor: "ABD ordusu tarafından derlenen kayıtların dördüncü konfor kolordusu'na atıfta bulunduğu kesin. Ahn, Güney Kore'de genel olarak konfor kadınlarının Japon ordusu ve polisi tarafından zorla askere alındığı görüşünün aksine, "konfor kadınları Kore'deki iş operatörleri tarafından işe alındı ve ordunun onları kaçırmasına gerek yoktu." Günlüğünde, adam konfor istasyonları, konfor kadınları ve ordu arasındaki ilişkilere değindi. 19 Temmuz 1943'te şöyle yazdı: "uçan bir kolorduya ait iki konfor istasyonu lojistik Komutanlığına teslim edildi."29 Temmuz 1943'te şöyle yazdı:" evlilik ilişkilerine (kocalarıyla) sahip olmak için (konfor istasyonu) ayrılan Haruyo ve Hiroko'nun kinseikan'a tekrar konfor kadınları olarak geri döndüğünü duydum." Koreli adam da Ağustos ayında günlüğüne yazdı. 13 Aralık 1943'te, " konfor kadınları bir film izlemeye gitti ve demiryolu kolordusunun bir film yöneteceğini söyledi."Ekim ayında yazdı. 27 Aralık 1944'te, " rahat bir kadından 600 yen ödemesini istedim, bu yüzden depozitosunu geri çektim ve merkezi bir postaneden gönderdim.” Günlük yazarının kendisi iki yıl içinde 43.000 yen kazandı—bu süre zarfında ortalama aylık işçinin maaşının sadece 40 yen olduğunu düşündüğünde muazzam bir miktar. Yazar eve döndükten sonra bir meyve bahçesi yönetti ve ayrıca özel bir ilkokulun yönetim kurulunda görev yaptı.

  1533. An article in Korean newspaper Kyunghyang Shinmun on June 6, 1977. It says that a Korean comfort station owner traffi/cked dozens of Korean comfort women to Asia to provide sex to Japanese/Korean soldiers there during World War II. It was common knowledge in Korea until the 1970s that Korean comfort station owners recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations, and no Koreans opposed that concept. Then Japanese newspaper published a series of fabricated articles in the 1980's falsely accusing Japanese military of coercing Korean comfort women. Korean communists with close ties to NK thought this was a great opportunity to defame Japan and block reconciliation between Japan and Korea. So they formed the anti-Japan lobby group in 1990 and began spreading comfort women’s false testimonies worldwide. Their tactic was to use the case of a small number of Dutch indonesia women who were coerced by lower ranked Japanese soldiers and make it look like the same thing happened to tens of thousands of Korean women. Since they had no evidence, they coached Korean women to testify falsely.

  1534. This article explains how this Comforr Women organization (Korean Council) was established by the communists. —- The late Ms. Lee Woo-Jung, the chairperson of the Korean Church Women United, visited Japan in August, 1987, when the World Conference against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs was held in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Reportedly, she had a secret meeting with Ms. SHIMIZU Sumiko, from the Japan Socialist Party, on a ship in Nagasaki Bay, escaping the surveillance of the KCIA ( Korean Central Intelligence Agency). In the meeting, Ms. Lee and Ms. Shimizu pledged to make efforts to create solidarity of the three organizations – the Korean Church Women United (led by Ms. Lee herself, which this organization was later founded on), the Women's Department of the Japan Socialist Party, and the Democratic Front for the Reunification of Korea (an affiliate of the North Korean United Front Department). Following that, in November, 1990, this organization "the Korean Council for the Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan" was established in South Korea. In May, 1991, the first symposium of "Peace in Asia and women's role," organized by the Japan Women's Council, an affiliate of the Japan Socialist Party, was held in Tokyo. Reportedly, Ms. Lyeo Yeon-gu, the chairperson of the Democratic Front for the Reunification of Korea (North Korean side), Ms. Yoon Jeong-ok and Ms. Lee hyo-jae, the then joint representatives of this organization (South Korean side), joined forces there and agreed to collaborate on joint North-South struggles. It should be curiously noted that these North and South Korean organizations agreed to cooperate on joint struggles in a third country, Japan, through the mediation of the Japan Socialist Party. The Japan Socialist Party was said to be deeply involved in expanding the comfort women issue. The Korean Council for the Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan was, from the very beginning, also an integral part of the North Korean agency (the United Front Department). If so, it is no wonder this organization has worked so determinedly to damage the Japan-South Korea relationship, not resolving but worsening the comfort women issue, until it became no longer solvable. It has been working for the benefit of North Korea. It is also no wonder that their activities had been heightened under the current Moon Jae-in administration. The Moon administration, which believes in the ethnic legitimacy of North Korea, is a pro-North extreme left revolutionary administration. So it is on very good terms with this organization, and this is why Ms. Yoon Mi-hyang was able to become a member of the National Assembly for the ruling party. This clearly exposes the truth surrounding the comfort women issue. This organization (the Korean Council for Justice and Remembrance for the Issues of Military Sexual Slavery by Japan) is nothing but a disgraceful mob of unscrupulous activists whose main activities were to line their own pockets and irrevocably damage the Japan-South Korea relationship. Sadly these former comfort women and self-proclaimed former comfort women were merely used as political tools to this end.

  1538. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  1539. Wumao2 The US government, under the Clinton and Bush administrations, spent 7 years and 30 million dollars to look into Nazi and Japanese war crimes. After 7 years of research, they found no evidence of the forced prostitution of comfort women, the Nanjing Massacre. “Final Report to the US Congress on Nazi War Crimes & Japanese Imperial Government Records” authored by the Interagency Working Group (IWG).” The report was published in the spring of 2007. Out of millions of pages of newly declassified material, much of it related to Japan, and they were unable to find evidence of forced prostitution. They also looked for information about the Nanjing Massacre and unit 731, but found no smoking guns.

  1541. Kim Bok-Dong testified that she worked as a comfort woman for 8 years until 1948 but WW2 ended in 1945. -IJA didn’t exist after WW2. Japan participated in the WW2 in 1939 -1945-1939=6 years In her speech, 9/18/2013 in France, She said that her human rights was violated by IJA in “Korean war”. -There is no IJA during the Korean war. Her human rights was likely violated by UN/US soldiers. 122 former Korean comfort women served for the UN/US soldiers sued their government in 2014. While Korean comfort women who sued Japan were only 9 in 1991. It means the US had more sex slaves than Japan.

  1543. Os testemunhos das ex-Conforto Mulheres são inconsistentes, uma vez que foram treinadas pela organização extremamente esquerdista. ⚫︎In uma entrevista com a Professora Chunghee Sarah Soh da Universidade Estatal de São Francisco, uma ex-coreana de conforto Kim Sun-ok disse que foi vendida pelos seus pais quatro vezes. No entanto, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU Radhika Coomaraswamy que foi raptada* pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Numa entrevista ao Professor Park da Universidade de Sejong na Coreia do Sul, uma ex-coreana Bae Chun-hee disse que odiava o seu pai que a vendeu. Ela disse que os homens que recrutaram mulheres coreanas e operaram estações de conforto eram "TODOS COREANOS", e que as mulheres coreanas que testemunharam perante o Relator Especial da ONU mentiram em nome do Conselho Coreano. ⚫︎A A ex-consoladora coreana Mun Oku-chu disse nas suas memórias: "Fui recrutada por uma coreana proprietária de uma estação de conforto. Poupei uma quantidade considerável de dinheiro de gorjetas, por isso abri uma conta poupança. Não conseguia acreditar que podia ter tanto dinheiro na minha conta poupança. Um dos meus amigos recolheu muitas jóias, por isso fui e comprei um diamante. Fui frequentemente ver filmes japoneses e peças de teatro Kabuki em que os jogadores vinham do Japão continental. Tornei-me uma mulher popular em Rangoon. Havia muito mais oficiais em Rangum do que perto das linhas de frente, por isso fui convidada para muitas festas. Cantei canções em festas e recebi muitas dicas. Coloquei um par de saltos altos, um casaco verde e carreguei uma bolsa de couro de jacaré. Andei de um lado para o outro com um vestido da moda. Ninguém na cidade podia adivinhar que eu era uma mulher de conforto. Sentia-me muito feliz e orgulhosa. Recebi permissão para regressar a casa, mas não queria voltar para a Coreia. Eu queria ficar em Rangum". Segundo o Professor Ahn Byong Jik da Universidade de Seul, Mun Oku-chu continuou a trabalhar como prostituta na Coreia após a guerra. No entanto, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU Radhika Coomaraswamy que foi raptada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Numa entrevista ao jornal coreano The Hankyoreh (a artcile foi publicada a 15 de Maio de 1991), uma ex-coreana Kim Hak-sun disse que tinha sido vendida pela sua mãe. Em 1993, Kim Hak-sun disse ao Professor Ahn Byong Jik da Universidade de Seul: "A minha mãe enviou-me para treinar como Kiseng em Pyongyang e depois vendeu-me". No entanto, ela testemunhou perante o Relator Especial da ONU Radhika Coomaraswamy que tinha sido raptada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em 1993, uma ex-consoladora coreana Kim Gun-ja disse ao Professor Ahn Byong Jik da Universidade de Seul: "Fui vendida pelo meu pai adoptivo". No entanto, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU Radhika Coomaraswamy que tinha sido raptada pelos militares japoneses. Kim Gun-ja também testemunhou perante a Comissão dos Assuntos Externos da Câmara dos Estados Unidos em 2007 e disse que tinha sido raptada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em 1993, uma ex-coreana Lee Yong-soo disse ao Professor Ahn Byong Jik da Universidade de Seul: "Na altura estava vestida e desgraçada. No dia em que saí de casa com a minha amiga Kim Pun-sun sem dizer à minha mãe, estava a usar uma saia preta, uma camisa de algodão e socos de madeira nos pés. Não sabe como fiquei contente quando recebi um vestido vermelho e um par de sapatos de couro de um recrutador coreano". No entanto, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU Radhika Coomaraswamy que tinha sido raptada pelos militares japoneses. Lee Yong-soo também testemunhou perante a Comissão dos Assuntos Externos da Câmara dos Estados Unidos em 2007. Foi-lhe dito que tinha cinco minutos para falar. Ignorou a instrução e prosseguiu durante mais de uma hora com uma actuação de choro e gritos. O seu falso testemunho resultou na aprovação da Resolução 121 da Câmara dos Representantes dos Estados Unidos da América. Em 2017 Lee Yong-soo deu falsos testemunhos perante a Câmara Municipal de São Francisco, o que resultou na erecção de uma estátua de conforto para mulheres naquela cidade. ⚫︎ Segundo a Professora Chunghee Sarah Soh da Universidade Estatal de São Francisco, uma antiga mulher de conforto coreana Moon Pil-ki foi recrutada por um agente do proprietário de uma estação de conforto coreana e levada para a Manchúria com outras quatro mulheres. No entanto, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU Radhika Coomaraswamy que foi raptada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em 1993, uma antiga mulher de conforto coreana Kil Won-ok disse ao Professor Ahn Byong Jik da Universidade de Seul: "Fui vendida pelos meus pais". No entanto, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU Radhika Coomaraswamy que tinha sido raptada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ De acordo com várias testemunhas, o Conselho Coreano (grupo activista pró-Norte) treinou mulheres para dizerem "Fui raptada pelos militares japoneses". O Professor Ahn Byong Jik da Universidade de Seul diz: "Quando entrevistei antigas mulheres de conforto no início dos anos 90, nenhuma delas tinha nada de mal a dizer sobre os militares japoneses. Elas odiavam os seus pais que as vendiam e os donos de estações de conforto coreanos que as maltratavam. Mas depois do Conselho Coreano as ter colocado na sua folha de pagamentos, os seus testemunhos tinham mudado completamente". ⚫︎ Uma ex-coreana, Sim Mi-ja, que se recusou a estar na folha de pagamentos do Conselho Coreano, disse: "As mulheres coreanas, que testemunharam perante o Relator Especial da ONU, mentiram em nome do Conselho Coreano. Elas são vigaristas".

In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  1545. "Rahat bir kadın olmak temelde bir meslektir. Onların işi para kazanmak için cinsel hizmetler sunmaktı. Kadınlar yasal izin almadan bu işi yapmak için konfor istasyonlarına gidemezler. Onlar sadece götürülmezler. Çoğu durumda, kendi özgür iradeleri olmasa da, babaları ve anneleri tarafından satıldılar. Bunun nedeni, rahat bir kadın olmak ya da bir cinsel hizmet iş operatörü için çalışmak için bir sözleşmenin kesinlikle gerekli olmasıdır. Sözleşme, yasal bir vasi tarafından imzalanmış yazılı onay gerektirir. Yasal vasi bir ebeveyn veya aile üyesi olabilir. O günlerde, koruyucu babalar yasal vasi olarak kabul edildi. O günlerde koruyucu babalar tipik insan kaçakçılarıydı. Niçin? Çünkü yasal olarak kadınların kontrolünü ele geçirebilecek şekilde ebeveyn oynadılar. Bunun için aile kaydının resmi bir kopyası gerekliydi. Bu gerekliydi çünkü yasal vasinin kim olduğundan ve daha da önemlisi yaşın doğrulanması gerektiğinden emin olmak önemliydi. O günlerde, bir kadının fahişe olarak çalışmasına izin vermek için en az 17 yaşında olması gerekiyordu. 17 yaşın altındaki kişilerin genelevlerde çalışmasına izin verilmedi. Sıkı oldu. Bununla birlikte, Kore Konseyi cinsiyet eşitliği ve aile Bakanlığı olan MOON Jae-in yönetimi tarafından kukla haline getirilen KİM Bok-dong, 14 yaşında rahat bir kadın olmak için götürüldüğünü söyledi. Bu bir yalandır. LEE Yong-soo, iyi bildiğiniz gibi, yoon Mi-hyang tarafından yazılan bir kitapta” uyurken geceleri Japon ordusu tarafından götürüldüğünde 14 yaşındaydı". Bu bir yalandır. İlk ifadesinde LEE Yong-soo, KİM Bon-soon adında bir arkadaşını belirli bir kişiyle tanışmak için takip ettiğini söyledi. Bir çantada kırmızı bir elbise ve bir çift deri ayakkabı verildiğinde, çekici hissettiğinde, farkına varmadan onlarla birlikte gitti. 14 yaşında olduğunu söyledi. LEE Yong-soo'nun yaşı değişmeye devam ediyor. 14, 15 ve 16 yaşında olduğunu ve ilk ifadesinde 14 yaşında olduğunu söyledi. Bu bir yalandır. 14 yaşında bir kız rahat bir kadın olamazdı. Sadece 15 yaşında bir kişi olarak çalışmak imkansızdı. ROK şu anda bir yalan cenneti. 1960'lardan 1970'lere kadar, kırsal alanlardan gelen kadınlar Seul istasyonunda dolaşırken, birileri onlarla konuşmak için her zaman onlara yaklaştı. Sor, “aç Değil misin? Üşümüyor musun?” “Evet.""Neden benimle gelmiyorsun? Sana sıcak bir yerde yiyecek bir şeyler verebilirim."Böylece kişiyi takip ettiler ve kendilerini kolayca hayal edebileceğiniz bir yerde buldular. Kadınları teselli etmek için olan şey buydu. Ancak, hayat kadınlarına alınan yokken, tüccarlar, ya da pezevenkler bile, ebeveynler ve aile üyeleri ile birlikte ve peşin olarak sözleşme yaptı. Bu işverenden bir kredidir. KİM Hak-soon ilk olarak 14 Ağustos 1991'de teselli eden bir kadın olduğunu ifade etti. Aslında, o da 40 yen için üvey babası tarafından satın alındı. Annesi onu 40 yen'e sattı. Kim Hak-soon'un üvey babası kisaeng'e akademide eğitim verdi ve ülke içinde iş yapmaya çalıştı, ancak yasal yaşın altında olduğu için yapamadı. Buna göre, onu Çin'e götürmek için, Kim'in annesine “onu Çin'e götürüp Götüremeyeceğini” sordu. Kalkış sırasında, kim ifade verdi, annesi sarı bir süveter taşıyarak onu satmak için Pyongyang istasyonuna gitti. Şimdi, bu kadınların hiçbiri, kim Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KİL Won-ok veya KİM Bok-dong, ifadelerinde Japon ordusu tarafından alındıklarını söyledi. Kore kadın Konseyi'nden Yoon Mi-hyang, cinsiyet eşitliği ve aile Bakanlığı ve Moon Jae-in'in hepsi yalan söylüyor. Hepiniz gerçeği bilmelisiniz. Burada bir açıklama yapmamızın nedeni, bu yalanların tüm ROK'U doldurması, Kore halkı arasında çatışmaya ve bölünmeye neden olmasıdır. Yalan, Japonya'yı Güney Kore ile ilişkilerini koparmaya zorluyor. Doğru tarihi bilmeliyiz. Doğru tarihi bilerek, insanların düşüncesi bir olacaktır. O anlamda , "nefret ve çatışmayı simgeleyen teselli kadın Heykeli”, "yalanları ve uydurmayı simgeleyen bu teselli kadın Heykeli” kesinlikle kaldırılması gerekir.” - Kore Tarih Ders Kitabı Araştırma Enstitüsü Müdürü

  1548.  @凉月初冬  FYI, 【幅射危機】大亞灣放射物質排放上限 遠超日本福島10倍 日本政府在周二(13日)提出，決定把福島核電廠積存的核廢水，在兩年後經稀釋後排落大海，而經處理的廢水將主要包含一種「氚」放射性物質。事件連日引來中國不斷批評，但距離香港只有50公里的大亞灣核電站，放射性物質「氚」的排放上限，竟然比日本福島的排放標準高出10倍。 據早前日本政府公布，福島核電廠積存的核廢水在經過稀釋後，每年最多排放22兆貝克的液態氚，濃度亦會稀釋到每升1500貝克，即是世衛飲用水標準的七分一。但中國國內資料顯示，鄰近香港的大亞灣核電站每年的液態氚排放上限達到225兆貝克，是福島未來每年排放量的10倍。 而據香港核電投資公司 (HKNIC) 數據顯示，過去10年大亞灣核電站的液態氚排放量平均為上限的20%，即是約49.5兆貝克，與日本政府訂出的標準比較，是超出一倍有多。此外，中國其他地區核電廠的液態氚排放量也較福島核電廠高，包括秦山核電廠、福建福清核電廠等。 「氚」是一種帶有放射性，能量雖高但穿透力弱的放射性物質，是氫的同位素之一。「氚」不會穿透人體，僅影響空氣中數厘米的範圍。一般情況下，飲用含氚的水才可能會對人體造成一定傷害，但「氚」在人體的半衰期只有7至18日，即使直接吸收了，每過14日殘留身體的劑量都會減半。 資料來源：中國生態環境部、香港核電投資公司 https://hk.news.yahoo.com/幅射危機-大亞灣放射物質排放上限-遠超日本福島10倍-050000848.html

  1549. Dutch government officially announced that “Dutch government regards the Comfort women system primarily as prostitution.” 1994 — The Bart von Poelgeest Report “The study by Dr. Poelgeest, then an officer of the Ministry of Interior of the Netherlands, was commissioned by the Dutch government in 1993. It is a comprehensive report on the recruitment, voluntary, of European women for pros**tution in the Dutch East Indies during the Japanese occupation in World War II. It also briefly touches upon recruitment of local women although that is not the focus of the study. There was nothing in the report to indicate a policy or practice of mass abduction of women, European or locals, as comfort women.” “During the war in China in the 1930s, the occurrence of venereal disease among the troops had led to problems with deployment and the Japanese military forces therefore decided to set up military brothels as a preventive measure. In addition to local women, Japanese and Korean women – Korea being part of the Japanese Empire – were recruited for the brothels in China.” “There’s no mass abdu*ction” ‪”Korean couple had lured European women to the establishment under false pretences.” “In practice, it was the local military commanders who had to draw up regulations on the establishment of military brothels in their territory. The chief of staff of the 16th army on Java and thus head of the military administration there decided that a license was required for the establishment of a military brothel. A license was issued only if certain conditions were met, relating to, for example, regular medical check-ups and payment. A further precondition was that the women working in the brothels had to do so voluntarily; according to the regulations, a license would only be issued if the women involved signed a statement to the effect that they were providing their service voluntarily.”

  1550.  @weirdo_simp3625  A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen.

  1551. In wars, soldiers sometimes rape innocent women. To prevent this from happening, the Japanese military asked businessmen to recruit prostiutes and operate comfort stations (brothels). The following is the order the Japanese military sent to comfort station operators. It says "Do not recruit women against thier will. Only recruit willing prostitutes." Japanese businessmen followed the order and only recruited willing women in Japan. But Korean businessmen recruited both willing prostitutes and unwilling women in Korea. This is why some of former Korean comfort women are still unhappy while we hear little or no complaint from former Japanese comfort women. If Korean comfort station owners had followed the Japanese military's order, there wouldn't have been any comfort women issue. —- Notice Concerning Comfort Women in China Title: “Matters regarding recruitment at military comfort station” <Notification> From: Assistant To: Army Chief Generals of the troops in northern China and of the expeditionary force in central China When brokers recruited comfort women for establishment of brothels during Sino-Japanese war, there were more than a few infamous cases to which we need to pay attention: the case of some brokers using the authority of the Japanese military for their recruitment, as the result, they ruined the credibility of the Japanese military, which led to a misunderstanding of ordinary people, the case that some brokers used an unruly method of recruiting through embedded journalists and visitors, causing social problems, the case that some brokers were arrested and placed under investigation because their recruiting method was similar to kid*napping. From now, as regards the recruitment of comfort women, the expeditionary force must properly choose and control brokers who recruit comfort women. Also, it is necessary to cooperate with military police and law enforcement authorities. To keep the prestige of Japanese military and to consider social problems, take careful note without omission.   March 4, 1938

  1552.  @weirdo_simp3625  A Taiwanese eye witness commenting about the time when Taiwan was under the rule of Japan. "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a collaborator. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

Economic output in terms of agriculture, fishery, forestry and industry increased tenfold from 1910 to 1945. The economic development model the Japanese instituted played the crucial role in Korean economic development, a model that was maintained by the Koreans in the post-World War II era."

In 2014 1,400 persons were prosecuted for perjury, 172 times the Japanese equivalent (or 430 times, if population difference is taken into account). There were 1,250 times as many charges stemming from false accusations than in Japan. Insurance fraud is rampant; in 2014 total insurance fraud amounted to 4.5 trillion won, 100 times the US figure”

  1566. Dutch government officially announced that “Dutch government regards the Comfort system primarily as pros**tution.” -Dutch government 1994 “The issue of the army brothels was investigated by the American authorities. Declassified documents show that the conclusion was that in most cases they employed paid pros**tutes. Again, there was no sex slave conspiracy uncovered.” -Israel Friendship association The US government investigated this issue (IWG report) spent 7 years and 30 million dollars but found no smoking guns.

  1567. The US government, under the Clinton and Bush administrations, spent 7 years and 30 million dollars to look into Nazi and Japanese war crimes. After 7 years of research, they found no evidence of the forced prostitution of comfort women, the Nanjing Massacre. The IWG report was published in the spring of 2007. Out of millions of pages of newly declassified material, much of it related to Japan, and they were unable to find evidence of forced prostitution. They also looked for information about the Nanjing Massacre and unit 731, but found no smoking guns. Nobody doubts that there was a massacre in Nanjing, and nobody doubts the Chinese ability to exaggerate by orders of magnitude, and then to believe their own stories. A Chinese organization lobbied for the IWG investigation. The “Global Alliance for Preserving the History of WWII in Asia” (Global Alliance). It should be noted that Global Alliance was closely associated with Iris Chang, author of “The Rape of Nanking”. Surprisingly, the IWG report offers an apology to Global Alliance for not finding anything.

  1573. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  1574. The Government of Japan’s position regarding these claims is as follows; ●“Forceful taking away” “Forceful taking away” of comfort women by the Japanese military and government authorities could not be confirmed in any of the documents that the Government of Japan was able to identify. (This position is stated, for example, in a written answer approved by the Cabinet on December 16, 1997 to a question by a member of the House of Representatives.) ●“Sex slaves” The expression of “sex slaves” contradicts the facts so that it should not be used. This point was confirmed with the ROK on the occasion of the Japan-ROK Agreement in December 2015 and the expression “sex slaves” is not used in the agreement. ●Figures such as “200,000 persons” for the total number of comfort women The figure “200,000 persons” lacks concrete evidence. As stated in the report of the Government study’s result of August 4, 1993, it is virtually impossible to determine the total number of comfort women as no documents have been found which either indicate the total number or give sufficient ground to establish an estimate.

  1575. As academics, we are used to dealing with exagge:rations. We are not used to finding that the story is pure fiction. But that is the nature of the comfort-women-se*x-slave story. It’s been a bizarrely unending story. Elderly Korean women claim to have been forced at Japanese bayonet-point to work as sex slaves. The Japanese government replies that the Korean government waived claims like this by treaty in 1965. But it expresses sympathy anyway, and offers more money. Koreans still complain. The Japanese government apologizes again, offers more money, and the Korean government promises never to raise the question again. Then a new political party takes power, declares the Japanese apology insincere, and starts the process all over again. Expressing sympathy to elderly women who have had a rough life is fine. Paying money to an ally in order to rebuild a stable relationship is fine. But the claims about enslaved Korean comfort women are historically untrue. The Japanese army did not dragoon Korean women to work in its brothels. It did not use Korean women as s*ex slaves. The claims to the contrary are simply ー factually ー false. - Harvard university

  1576. 1959 Oct 19 Donga Ilbo - "66% of Comfort Women Infected" October 19, 1959 ab article from the South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo. It is entitled "66% of Comfort Women Infected--Results of a Nationwide Testing of Female Entertainers." The article talks about how nationwide 392,707 female entertainers, including 261,089 comfort women, were tested for venereal disease over a 1-year period. The article is evidence that in 1959 Korea was registering women to be "comfort women," which was a euphemism for "military prostitute." Korea was registering women to be prostitutes for UN soldiers stationed in Korea. The 261,089 comfort woment mentioned in the article is evidence that Korea had a significant number of comfort women, of which 66.4% were infected with a veneral disease. In the 1990s South Koreans begin criticizing Japan for its comfort women system in World War II, but have hardly said anything about its own comfort women system "If Koreans thoght the Japanese comfort women system was so bad, why did the Korean Government set up a similar 'comfort women' system for UN soldiers after the Japanese left Korea?"

  1577. 1953 Jul 21 - "Country Girls Lured into Pros***ution" This July 7, 1953 article from the South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo describes a typical means by which innocent Korean girls were lured into pros***ution. That is, they are promised a good job, put into debt, and then forced to pay back the debt by working as pros**tutes. “When I was in South Korea in the navy in the late 1970s, the typical method was to put ads promising high-paying waitress jobs in cheap magazines. When girls showed up, they were given a furnished apartment to put them in high-interest debt, which their waitress salaries would never be able to pay off, which forced them into prostitution. At that time a person could not walk away from debt or declare personal bankruptcy.” Here is translation of the article. Country Girls Lured into Pros**tution Go Ok-i (高玉伊), a 53-year-old woman who lives at No. 83 on 3rd Street in the Cho Ryang-dong area of Hanmok City, was operating a comfort woman business for UN servicemen until she suspended operations because of financial difficulties. Then on the 3rd of this month, with the intention of reopenning her business, Ms. Go had her maid, Im Mi-ja (林미子), lure five virgins, including 15-year-old Gang Pil-yeon (姜必連) of Jinju City (at No. 888 in Tongbong-dong), to Busan with promises of getting them jobs in the 34th Military Hospital. Telling the girls that they would need to wear "high-class" clothes if they expected to be hired, Ms. Go gave each of the six girls an advance of 5,000 hwan worth of high-class clothing with the idea of putting them to work as comfort women. However, she was detected by police authorities prior to that, and on the 7th, Ms. Go and Ms. Im were undergoing intense questioning at the Investigation Section of the Busan Police Department.

  1578. July 14, 1954 - "Evil Pimp Arrested" This July 14, 1954 article is from the South Korean newspaper Gyeonghyang Sinmun. “I heard stories similar to this one even in the late 1970s, when I was in the navy and stationed in South Korea, but I never heard of the pimps being arrested. In fact, the girls told me they could not go to the local police for help because they believed them to be working with the pimps.” Evil Pimp Arrested [Daegu] Jin Yong-hui, who operates a "who*re house" at No. 67 Kyo-dong in Daegu City, has been brought in for questioning, without detention, at the Daegu Women's Police Station. Ms. Jin is charged with previously telling 21-year-old Kim Hak-i (金學伊) that she would pay her debt of 30,000 hwan if she would work for one month as a comfort woman, but when Ms. Kim could no longer endure the suffering and tried to escape on the 7th, she was illegally confi.ned and beaten numerous times.

  1579. 1961 Jan 31 - US Military and Korean Representatives Attend VD Lecture for Comfort Women The following January 31, 1961 article from the South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo reports on a "refinement training" lecture given to more than 800 "comfort women" in Dongducheon, South Korea, where the US 7th Infantry Division was stationed. The fact that US military representatives attended the lecture is evidence that the US military knew of and supported military pros***ution in South Korea. Or if we were to use US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's definition, the US military knew of and supported "enforced sexual slavery" in South Korea. "Comfort woman" was a Korean euphemism for "military pros**tute." Here is translation of the article: Leedam Police Station Hosts Lecture on Refinement for Comfort Women (Dongducheon) At 11 a.m. on the 27th, a short training course on refinement began for more than 800 comfort women at the Donggwang Theater here. It was hosted by the Leedam Police Station. Several US and Korean representatives attended, including the Deputy Commander of the Military Police at the US 7th Infantry Division, which is stationed here, and the Director of the Division's Civil Affairs Office. After stressing such topics as venereal disease prevention and management, the training ended with a group of comfort women giving brillant performances in song and dance.

  1581. You’re welcome. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

  1582. Os testemunhos das ex-Conforto Mulheres são inconsistentes, pois foram treinadas pela organização extremamente esquerdista "Conselho Coreano". ⚫︎In uma entrevista com a Professora Chunghee Sarah Soh da Universidade Estadual de São Francisco, uma ex-coreana Kim Sun-ok disse que ela foi vendida por seus pais quatro vezes. No entanto, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU Radhika Coomaraswamy que ela foi sequestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em entrevista ao Professor Park da Universidade Sejong na Coréia do Sul, uma ex-coreana Bae Chun-hee disse que odiava seu pai que a vendeu. Ela disse que os homens que recrutaram mulheres coreanas e operaram estações de conforto eram "todos coreanos", e que as mulheres coreanas que testemunharam perante o Relator Especial da ONU mentiram em nome do Conselho Coreano. ⚫︎A A ex-consoladora coreana Mun Oku-chu disse em suas memórias: "Fui recrutada por um coreano proprietário de um posto de conforto. Economizei uma quantia considerável de dinheiro com gorjetas, então abri uma conta poupança. Eu não podia acreditar que poderia ter tanto dinheiro em minha conta poupança". Um de meus amigos coletou muitas jóias, então eu fui e comprei um diamante. Eu ia frequentemente ver filmes japoneses e peças de teatro Kabuki em que os jogadores vinham do Japão continental. Eu me tornei uma mulher popular em Rangoon. Havia muito mais oficiais em Rangum do que perto das linhas de frente, então fui convidada para muitas festas. Eu cantava músicas em festas e recebia muitas dicas. Coloquei um par de saltos altos, um casaco verde e carreguei uma bolsa de couro de jacaré. Andei de um lado para o outro com um vestido da moda. Ninguém na cidade podia adivinhar que eu era uma mulher de conforto. Eu me sentia muito feliz e orgulhosa. Recebi permissão para voltar para casa, mas não queria voltar para a Coréia. Eu queria ficar em Rangum". Segundo o professor Ahn Byong Jik da Universidade de Seul, Mun Oku-chu continuou a trabalhar como prostituta na Coréia após a guerra. No entanto, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU Radhika Coomaraswamy que ela foi raptada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em uma entrevista ao jornal coreano The Hankyoreh (a arte foi publicada em 15 de maio de 1991), uma ex-coreana Kim Hak-sun disse que ela foi vendida por sua mãe. Em 1993 Kim Hak-sun disse ao professor Ahn Byong Jik da Universidade de Seul: "Minha mãe me enviou para treinar como Kiseng em Pyongyang e depois me vendeu". No entanto, ela testemunhou perante o Relator Especial da ONU Radhika Coomaraswamy que ela foi raptada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em 1993, uma ex-consoladora coreana Kim Gun-ja disse ao Professor Ahn Byong Jik da Universidade de Seul: "Fui vendida por meu pai adotivo". No entanto, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU Radhika Coomaraswamy que ela foi raptada pelos militares japoneses. Kim Gun-ja também testemunhou perante o Comitê de Relações Exteriores da Câmara dos Estados Unidos em 2007 e disse que foi seqüestrada pelos militares japoneses. ⚫︎ Em 1993, uma ex-coreana Lee Yong-soo disse ao Professor Ahn Byong Jik da Universidade de Seul: "Na época eu estava mal vestida e desgraçada. No dia em que saí de casa com minha amiga Kim Pun-sun sem avisar minha mãe, eu estava usando uma saia preta, uma camisa de algodão e socos de madeira nos pés. Você não sabe como fiquei contente quando recebi um vestido vermelho e um par de sapatos de couro de um recrutador coreano". No entanto, ela testemunhou perante a Relatora Especial da ONU Radhika Coomaraswamy que foi raptada* pelos militares japoneses. Lee Yong-soo também testemunhou perante o Comitê de Relações Exteriores da Câmara dos Estados Unidos em 2007. Foi-lhe dito que ela tinha cinco minutos para falar. Ela ignorou a instrução e continuou por mais de uma hora fazendo uma apresentação de choro e gritos. Seu falso testemunho resultou na aprovação da Resolução 121 da Câmara dos Representantes dos Estados Unidos. Em 2017 Lee Yong-soo deu falsos testemunhos perante a Câmara Municipal de São Francisco, o que resultou na ereção de uma estátua de conforto para mulheres naquela cidade. ⚫︎ De acordo com a professora Chunghee Sarah Soh da Universidade Estadual de São Francisco, uma ex-coreana de conforto Moon Pil-ki foi recrutada por um agente do proprietário de uma estação de conforto coreana e levada para a Manchúria com outras quatro mulheres.

O professor Ahn Byong Jik da Universidade de Seul diz: "Quando entrevistei ex-mulheres de conforto no início dos anos 90, nenhuma delas tinha nada de ruim a dizer sobre os militares japoneses. Elas odiavam seus pais que as vendiam e os donos de postos de conforto coreanos que as maltratavam. Mas depois que o Conselho Coreano as colocou em sua folha de pagamento, seus testemunhos tinham mudado completamente". ⚫︎ Uma ex-consoladora coreana Sim Mi-ja, que se recusou a estar na folha de pagamento do Conselho Coreano, disse: "As coreanas, que testemunharam perante o Relator Especial da ONU, mentiram em nome do Conselho Coreano.

  1583. Google 【幅射危機】大亞灣放射物質排放上限 遠超日本福島10倍 or 港媒 : 中国核电站放射物排放上限远超福岛十倍 The Hong Kong newspaper "The News" on the 14th checked the official Chinese information and found that all the 49 existing nuclear power plants in China also dumped their nuclear waste water into the sea. At the Daya Bay nuclear power plant, which is only 50 kilometres from Hong Kong, the emission limit for the radioactive substance tritium is 10 times higher than the emission standard at Fukushima in Japan. The Japanese government proposed on Tuesday (13) that the nuclear wastewater accumulated at the Fukushima plant will be diluted and discharged into the sea after two years. The wastewater will mainly contain a radioactive substance called "tritium" after treatment. The authorities say that after dilution, a maximum of 22 megabecks of liquid tritium will be discharged each year, and that the concentration will be diluted to 1,500 becquerels per litre, which is one seventh of the WHO drinking water standard. According to a mainland government approval from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment in 2017, the Daya Bay nuclear power site, with six units, has an annual liquid tritium emission limit of 225 megabecks, ten times the future annual emissions from Fukushima, according to a report in The News. According to data from the Hong Kong Nuclear Investment Company, which is a joint venture with the Daya Bay nuclear power plant, the average liquid tritium emissions from the Daya Bay nuclear power plant over the past ten years have been 20% of the cap, or about 49.5 megabecks. When compared with the standard set by the Japanese government, this is more than double. The report also pointed out that, in addition to Daya Bay, the Qinshan nuclear power plant, a few hundred kilometres away, requested the Ministry of Ecology and the Environment in 2008 to set a standard for the annual discharge of nuclear wastewater, and that for the first two phases and the expanded units alone, the maximum level of liquid tritium discharge was 125 megabecks, more than five times the current level set at Fukushima. The Chinese National Nuclear Safety Administration (NNSA) replied at the time that this amount was acceptable and so it was approved. The emission limit for the Fuqing nuclear power plant in Fujian also exceeds the Japanese Fukushima standard.

She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war.

You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121.

She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abd*ucted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council. They are swi*ndlers"

  1590. One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  1591. Michael Breen, Korea Times contributor and author of the popular text The Koreans (2004) reacted critically. “They were the th*ugs, the bru*tes, the mon*sters, the most horrible…” They were not tried as soldiers or POW camp guards who had done their jobs. They were tried for overzealousness, for decisions and actions over and above the call of duty. They were the th*ugs, the bru*tes, the mon*sters, the most horrible… Breen describes atrocities committed by Korean camp guards that represented indignities that no human being should suffer. He chastised the commission for its political correctness: “The Commission should know that those rounding up comfort women were Koreans and those tor*turing people in police stations were mostly Koreans.”

  1594. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen.

  1595. A Taiwanese eye witness commenting about the time when Taiwan was under the rule of Japan. "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a collaborator. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

  1597.  @amywon2573  Footage of Lee Yong-soo filmed in 1992 is now found, in which she testified that she became Comfort Woman just because she followed a man who gave her a dress and shoes, NOT because she was tricked or abducted by force by Japanese Army. The footage filmed on Aug 15th, 1992 at K/B/S. That seems a little bit ironic that the announcer reconfirmed that she became Comfort Woman NOT because she was abd*ucted by force by Japanese Army, but she just followed a man by her own will.

  1598. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  1602. The Fabrication and Spread of the “Comfort Women = Sex Slaves” Theory Totsuka Etsuro: The author of the “sex slave” concept The man who first proposed to the United Nations that the comfort women be referred to as “sex slaves” was the Japanese human rights lawyer Totsuka Etsuro(so called CCP’s Agent) Totsuka brought up the term “sex slave” before the UN Commission on Human Rights, and before long UN bodies had accordingly defined the comfort women as being “sex slaves”. The idea that the comfort women were sex slaves did not arise from the findings of any empirical investigation, nor was it conceptualized on the basis of any facts. Totsuka said that the idea of adopting the term “sex slaves” simply popped into his mind one day. According to Fujiki, when Totsuka was asked about how he came up with the term “sex slaves”, he said, “I had a hunch! It was intuition!” He then continued as follows: “It’s amazing, isn’t it? I had been frequenting the United Nations for thirty-four years. During that time, I submitted over twenty motions to discuss instances of Japanese human rights violations and delivered statements on them here, but not one was taken up. And yet, in 1992, when I reframed the comfort women as being sex slaves, the UN commissioners were glued to my every word. So you see, it’s incredible, isn’t it?”

  1606. "Essere una donna di conforto è fondamentalmente un'occupazione. Il loro lavoro consisteva nell'offrire servizi sessuali per fare soldi. Le donne non possono andare nelle stazioni di conforto a fare questo lavoro senza un'autorizzazione legale. Non vengono semplicemente portate via. Nella maggior parte dei casi, sono state vendute dai loro padri e dalle loro madri, se non di loro spontanea volontà. La ragione è che, per essere una comfort woman, o per lavorare per un operatore di servizi sessuali, è assolutamente necessario un contratto. Il contratto richiede un consenso scritto firmato da un tutore legale. Il tutore legale può essere un genitore o un membro della famiglia. A quei tempi, i padri affidatari erano accettati come tutori legali. I padri affidatari a quei tempi erano tipici trafficanti di esseri umani. Perché? Perché giocavano a fare i genitori in modo da poter prendere legalmente il controllo delle donne. Per questo, era necessaria una copia ufficiale del registro di famiglia. Questo era necessario perché era importante assicurarsi chi fosse il tutore legale e, ancora più importante, si doveva verificare l'età. A quei tempi, una donna doveva avere almeno 17 anni per poter lavorare come prostituta. Quelle sotto i 17 anni non potevano assolutamente lavorare nei bordelli. Era severo. Tuttavia, KIM Bok-dong, che è stata resa protagonista dall'amministrazione di MOON Jae-in, il Ministero dell'uguaglianza di genere e della famiglia, il Consiglio coreano, ha detto che è stata portata via a 14 anni per diventare una comfort woman. Questa è una bugia. LEE Yong-soo, come forse sapete bene, "aveva 14 anni quando fu portata via dall'esercito giapponese di notte mentre dormiva", che è in un libro scritto da YOON Mi-hyang. Questa è una bugia. Nella sua testimonianza iniziale, LEE Yong-soo dice di aver seguito un'amica chiamata KIM Bon-soon per incontrare una certa persona. Quando le è stato dato un vestito rosso e un paio di scarpe di pelle in una borsa, sentendosi attratta, prima che se ne rendesse conto, è andata con loro. Ha detto che aveva 14 anni. L'età di Lee Yong-soo continua a cambiare. Ha menzionato di avere 14, 15 e 16 anni e di averne 14 nella sua testimonianza iniziale. Questa è una bugia. Una ragazza di 14 anni non poteva essere una donna di conforto. Non era possibile lavorare come tale a 15 anni. La Repubblica di Corea è attualmente un paradiso di bugie. Dagli anni '60 agli anni '70, quando le donne delle zone rurali vagavano per la stazione di Seul, qualcuno le avvicinava sempre per parlare con loro. Chiedevano: "Non hai fame? Non hai freddo?". "Sì." "Perché non vieni con me? Posso darvi qualcosa da mangiare in un posto caldo". Così seguirono la persona e si trovarono in un posto che potete facilmente immaginare. Questo è quello che è successo alle donne di conforto. Tuttavia, quando le donne di conforto venivano portate via, i commercianti, o procacciatori, facevano contratti con i loro genitori e familiari e pagavano in anticipo. Si tratta di un prestito da parte del datore di lavoro. KIM Hak-soon ha testimoniato per prima, il 14 agosto 1991, di essere stata una comfort woman. In effetti, anche lei è stata comprata dal suo padre adottivo per 40 yen. Sua madre la vendette per 40 yen. Il padre adottivo di Kim Hak-soon le diede un addestramento di kisaeng in un'accademia e cercò di fare affari all'interno del paese, ma non poté perché non aveva l'età legale. Di conseguenza, per portarla in Cina, chiese alla madre di Kim se poteva "portarla in Cina", e lei acconsentì. Al momento della partenza, ha testimoniato KIM, sua madre andò alla stazione di Pyongyang per venderla, portando un maglione giallo. Ora, nessuna di queste donne, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok o KIM Bok-dong, ha detto nelle loro testimonianze di essere stata portata via dall'esercito giapponese. YOON Mi-hyang del Consiglio coreano per le donne arruolate, il Ministero dell'uguaglianza di genere e della famiglia e Moon Jae-in stanno tutti mentendo. Tutti voi dovete sapere la verità. Il motivo per cui stiamo facendo una dichiarazione qui è che queste bugie riempiono l'intera ROK, causando conflitto e divisione tra il popolo coreano. La menzogna costringe il Giappone a rompere le sue relazioni con la Corea del Sud. Dobbiamo conoscere la storia corretta. Conoscendo la storia corretta, il pensiero del popolo sarà uno solo. In questo senso, "la statua della donna di conforto che simboleggia l'odio e il conflitto", "la statua della donna di conforto che simboleggia le bugie e la falsificazione" devono assolutamente essere rimosse". -Direttore dell'Istituto di ricerca sui libri di testo di storia coreana

  1607.  @claudel1027  A Taiwanese eye witness commenting about the time when Taiwan was under the rule of Japan. "The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers. The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker. So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings. To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives. That’s why so many people applied voluntarily. Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie. It’s a blatant lie! At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a sp*y and accuse you of being a war crim*inal. So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

  1608. -At UN human rights conference The representative from Taiwan started by saying, “Unlike the women from Korea, Taiwanese women are gentle and obedient, so the Japanese soldiers treated us kindly. That’s why we take a somewhat different stance from the Koreans who stridently demand reparations.” The participants in the conference suddenly erupted into jeer and exclaimed, “What are you saying!” Before she had finished speaking, the conference room fell into pandemonium as the attendees threw fits or began approaching the podium. One person yelled, “Stop interpreting!”, and the interpreter abruptly halted. The ones who had shouted her down were well-known Japanese human rights activists.(Close tie with communists ) After the conference reopened, a Thai woman who said that she was living in India shouted at the top of her lungs, “British soldiers did the same sort of things, no, even worse things, when they were stationed in India. Why aren’t you talking about that too?”

  1609. “As academics, we are used to dealing with exagge:rations. We are not used to finding that the story is pure fiction. But that is the nature of the comfort-women-se*x-slave story. It’s been a bizarrely unending story. Elderly Korean women claim to have been forced at Japanese bayonet-point to work as sex slaves. The Japanese government replies that the Korean government waived claims like this by treaty in 1965. But it expresses sympathy anyway, and offers more money. Koreans still complain. The Japanese government apologizes again, offers more money, and the Korean government promises never to raise the question again. Then a new political party takes power, declares the Japanese apology insincere, and starts the process all over again. Expressing sympathy to elderly women who have had a rough life is fine. Paying money to an ally in order to rebuild a stable relationship is fine. But the claims about enslaved Korean comfort women are historically untrue. The Japanese army did not dragoon Korean women to work in its brothels. It did not use Korean women as s*ex slaves. The claims to the contrary are simply ー factually ー false.” - Harvard university

  1610. Footage of most famous Comfort Women Lee Yong-soo filmed in 1992 is now found, in which she testified that she became Comfort Woman just because she followed a man who gave her a dress and shoes, NOT because she was tricked or abducted by force by Imperial Japanese Army. The footage filmed on Aug 15th, 1992 at KBS. That seems a little bit ironic that the announcer reconfirmed that she became Comfort Woman NOT because she was abd*ucted by force by Imperial Japanese Army, but she just followed a man by her own will. —— ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city.

  1615. 【"Korean council" imports 6 unidentified fake comfort women from China】 In 2004, 12 former comfort women, including Simmija, claimed that the "Korean council" and House of Nanumu had imported six comfort women from China at great expense and brought them to the Wednesday meeting as be_ ggars. The former comfort women also said, "When we applied for Japan's Asian Women's Fund in 1998, we were fiercely opposed by the Korean council and the others.” They were unable to withstand threats not to receive the money, and a significant number of them did not receive it. Seven of the applicants who did receive money claimed that they had been told that if they received money from Japan they were 'pros**tutes who volunteered' and that this had left them traumatised. At the time, Ms. Shim wanted to receive an apology and support from Japan when she was still alive, so she received the Asian Women's Fund. It has been reported that some of the comfort women were kicked out of the "House of Nanum" when they refused to attend media and demonstration sites. The comfort women claimed that the activities of the Korean council, such as the Wednesday demonstration, were "unhelpful to the diplomatic relations between Korea and Japan".

  1616. One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women” Finally about the claims that Germany has properly “atoned” for its crimes while Japan has not. Let me just consider only one aspect. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  1617. [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

  1621. The following is an English transaltion of excerpts from a former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu's memoir "Myself as a comfort woman for Tate Division deployed in Burma" by Mun Oku-chu (In Mandalay, Burma) Page 63 The soldiers and we had the same thoughts, that is, we must work hard for our emperor. The soldiers gave up their wives, children and their own lives. Knowing how they felt, I did my best to solace them by having conversation with them. Page 68 I prayed for safety of Ichiro Yamada. After two or three of months, the troop unit to which Yamada belonged returned from the front. Yamada returned in good health. He immediately came to the comfort station. He said "I, private first class soldier Yamada, have just come back from the front." Yamada gave a salute to me. We hugged in full of joy. Such a day was so special that the comfort station owner Matsumoto (a Korean from Daegu) closed business for the day. The comfort station was full of excitement, and we, comfort women, contributed 1 yen per woman to hold a big party for them. Page 75 I saved a considerable amount of money from tips. So I asked a clerical staff whether or not I could have a saving account and put the money in the account. His reply was positive. I knew that all the soldiers put their earnings in the saving accounts in the field post office, so I decided to put my money in the saving account. I asked a soldier to make a personal seal and put 500 yen in the account. I got my savings passbook and found 500 yen written on the passbook. I became the owner of the savings passbook for the first time in my life. I worked in Daegu as a nanny and a street seller from the childhood but I remained poor no matter how hard I worked. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. A house in Daegu cost 1,000 yen at the time. I could let my mother have an easy life. I felt very happy and proud. The savings passbook became my treasure. Page 98 Ichiro Yamada came to see me once a week and I was in a great mood on that day from the morning. But if he did not show up on his once a week holiday, I became so worried wondering if he was killed by the enemy that I could not work properly. He made me worry so much. (In Rangoon, Burma) Page 106~107 I was able to have more freedom in Rangoon than before. Of course, not completely free but I could go out once a week or twice a month with permission from the Korean owner. It was fun to go shopping by rickshaw. I can't forget the experience of shopping in a market in Rangoon. There were lots of jewelry shops because many jewels were produced in Burma, and ruby and jade were not expensive. One of my friends collected many jewels. I thought I should have a jewel myself, so I went and bought a diamond. Page 107 I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I enjoyed watching players change costumes many times and male players portray women’s roles. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. (In Saigon, Vietnam) Page 115~118 It was finally time to return home. I went to Saigon via Thailand. The ship was to depart from Saigon. Then Tsubame said "I had a nightmare in the morning about my mother vomiting blood. I am afraid that something unlucky will happen, so I will not return to Korea." Hiroko, Kifa and Hifumi agreed with Tsubame saying "We will not go back to Korea, either." Page 120 When I went to a cabaret where Japanese military men hung out, navy pilots were there. Some of them asked me "Why are you still here?" I replied "I am still here because I don’t want to go home. I want to go back to Rangoon." Page 121 I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt so happy and proud. (Back In Rangoon) Page 123 A military man came on a bicycle and asked me "Hi Yoshiko, can you ride a bicycle?" I replied "No, I can’t." He asked "Would you like to learn how to ride?" I learned with pleasure. I rode it smoothly through the town of Rangoon. I didn't see any other women on bicycles. People on the street looked back at me. It was fun for me to go to the town of Rangoon. I talked with people in Burmese, Japanese and Korean. I had no difficulty communicating when I shopped. Page 126 I k**led a non-commissioned officer who was drunk and held the sword against me. I won acquittal as legitimate self-defense, and many military men were pleased with that court decision. Page 137 I withdrew 5,000 yen from my saving account and sent it to my mother.

  1622. Irrelevant Colonel Prince Yi U (15 November 1912 – 7 August 1945) was a Korean Prince as a member of the imperial family of Korea, the 4th head of Unhyeon Palace, and a lieutenant colonel in the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. He was killed during the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Prince U was transferred to Hiroshima in 1945, and on 6 August 1945, he was mortally injured by the atomic bomb blast on the way to his office, and died later that day at a medical aid station. He was posthumously promoted to the rank of colonel. On August 8, Adjutant Lieutenant Colonel Yoshinari Hiroshi (吉成 弘) committed sui//cide on account of not being able to save Prince Yi.

  1623. Korea insists 200,000 Korean women were kid_ napped and ra_ ped. According to Korea, almost all se_x slaves were ki_ lled or committed sui_ cide soon after the end of the war. The number of victims were far more than that of the nuclear bomb in Hiroshima. However, Korea can not find even one article in newspapers in those days or soon after the war on this massacre. The population pyramid does not show the sign too.

  1624. An old soldier Yoshida Seiji published “My war crime” in Japan in 1983. The book says “I abd_ ucted 200 women and raped in Cheju island in Korea.” Japanese N_ ewspaper Asahi interviewed him and reported on the book many times. Korean media gave promonent coverage of it. The book also published in Korea in 1989 and was dramatized for TV in 1991. The audience ratings were quite high. A old woman came forward to sue Japanese government for money, she is the first pros**tute in public. Supporting group was formed, the representaive of the group who arrested on fraud was mother-in-law of the Asahi reporter, Takashi Uemura. Korean local Newspaper, The Cheju verified the book in Cheju island and reported there was no woman that was abd_ ucted and raped by the Japanese army. The newspaper criticized Yoshida as “shameful businessman.” Yoshida said “ All book is biased by its author.” In the end, he conceded the book was a fiction before his death. But Korean Newspaper, the Chosun Ilbo that is the major newspapers in South Korea said in 5 Sep 2012 that “Only this book is enough to verify that Japanese army kid_napped women and ra_ ped.” Though in 2014 The Asahi canceled 18 articles and 495 columns for 14 years from 1980. Lies about Japan are not corrected in Korea.

  1625. Some Israeli organizations have expressed that it is improper and offensive for them for what Korean/Chinese activists are attempting to compare the issue of Comfort Women to the wrongdoing done by Nazi-Germany “The actions of Japan in the occupied countries were thoroughly investigated after the war. The guilty parties faced an international tribunal in Tokyo. Though one of the judges, Justice R.B. Pal from India, found some of the charges excessive and issued a dissenting opinion, Japan accepted the findings and the verdict in an agreement signed after the end of the American occupation in 1952. At no point during the trial was the alleged government conspiracy to enslave sexually 200,000 women brought to the judges’ attention and it is impossible to assume that they would overlook something so important. The issue of the army brothels was investigated by the American authorities. Declassified documents show that the conclusion was that in most cases they employed paid prostitutes. Again, there was no sex slave conspiracy uncovered. In the 1960’s, Japan negotiated a reparations settlement with South Korea, signed in 1965. Consequently, a large sum was paid in full in several installments. During that period, South Korea didn’t raise the “comfort women” issue, and neither did China. That happened only in 1991.” -Israel Friendship association

  1626. Interview with former comfort woman -Bae Junchul: Was the owner of the comfort station in Bengbu also Korean? –Yes, all of them were Koreans. The amount of the up-front loan was decided through negotiation between both parties, the contract term was clearly set and there was a term regulating resale of the comfort woman. An agreement and the seal of the head of the household were required. A comfort woman and her parents knew what kind of work she would do for the Japanese military and that prior to resale, the up-front loan would change hands to the new entrepreneur. What else would be needed to prove that the entire scheme was nothing less than a contractual relationship?

  1631. [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office." The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school. —-

  1634. Comfort Women' aldatmacası devam ediyor-nihai hedef ABD, Japonya değil Bütün bunlar büyük bir aldatmaca. Bunu araştıran on bir ülkeye gittim, şu anda Tayland'da. Hemen hemen her gazeteci ve 'tarihçi' bunun için düşer. Ben Japon değilim-Florida'da doğup büyüdüm, timsah avlıyordum, bu tür şeyler. Orduda görev yaptı, çeşitli savaşlarda ve çatışmalarda yazar olarak yıllar geçirdi - ve gördüğüm zaman saçmalığı biliyorum. Comfort Women (ıanfu) sistemi gerçekti. Kimse bunu kabul etmiyor. Amerikalılar aynı şeyi Hawaii'deki Hotel Street'te ve daha sonra Kore'de vb.yaptı. vb. vb. Ancak 200.000-400.000'in kaçırıldığı fikri Kore / Çin yalanıdır. Çeşitli insanlar çeşitli nedenlerle bu konuda yalan söyler. Koreliler için, Japonlar için derin bir düşmanlık var. Çince ile benzer. Ayrıca bir 'feminist' yönü var-bunun hakkında günlerce konuşabilirim. Çeşitli ülkelerde, özellikle Kore'de birçok faille tanıştım. Bir iş tarafı var. Bu heykelleri yapan karı koca ekibiyle tanıştım. Seul'de Japon Elçiliğinin yanındaki heykelin yanındaki otelde tanıştık. Heykel başına yaklaşık 30.000 dolar ücret aldı ve şimdiye kadar yaklaşık 30 dolar kazandıklarını söyledi. Heykelde daha fazla heykel satmaya çalışıyorlardı. Ofisimde bana verdikleri küçük bir plastik heykel var. İnsanlar bu heykelleri satın aldıktan sonra, kütüphaneden Glendale, California gibi yerel bağışlar alabilirler. (Ekibimizle oradaydım. Büyük bir aldatmaca.) Kore Konseyi gibi kuruluşlar bağış topluyor. Seul'deki çok güzel ofislerinde uzun bir röportaj yaptım. Uluslararası Af Örgütü aynı bayrağı sallıyor ve bağış topluyor. Seul'de bunu yaparken fotoğraflarını çektim. Yazarlar bu konuda kitap yazıyor ve parayı topluyorlar. Stratejik bir yönü var: ÇKP bunu ROK, ABD ve Japonya arasındaki önemli karşılıklı ittifakımıza saldırmak için kullanıyor. Çin, Japon Anayasasında 9. maddeyi tutmaya çalışıyor ve bunu Japonlardan ve sürtüşmelerden korkmak için kullanıyorlar. Japonlar hakkında kötü konuşmuyorlarsa, Hiç kimse ÇKP'YE inanmaz, bu durumda Amerikalılar yem kancasını yutar. Bu konuyu araştırdığım ülkeler: Avustralya Tayland Myanmar Malezya Endonezya ABD Tayvan Çin Kore Japonya Filipinler Ekibimiz, başka bir hedefin, Amerikan servis üyeleri tarafından benzer işler için USG'Yİ dava etmek olduğunu görüyor.

  1635. Savaştan sonra yüz binlerce Japon kız Koreli/Çinli erkekler tarafından tecavüze uğradı. Japon hükümeti birçok kez özür diledi ve savaş zamanı yüksek ücretli fahişeler için büyük miktarda tazminat ödedi, ancak Japon tecavüz kurbanları Kore'den özür dilemedi. Futsukaichi huzur evi, Japonya'da özel bir tıp merkezine, 1946 yılında İkinci Dünya Savaşı'ndan sonra Refah Bakanlığı tarafından kuruldu. 1.5 yıl ve 1947'de tasdik önce gerçekleştirilen kürtaj için ameliyat ve Kore ya da Çin'den ülkelerine iade edildi*pe ra mağdurları (örneğin, frengi ya da belsoğukluğu gibi) cinsel yolla bulaşan hastalıklar tedavi. Tecavüz genellikle cinayet tarafından takip edildi. Bazı kurbanlar utançtan intihar ettiler ya da Japonya'ya dönmeden önce başka nedenlerden öldüler. Ayrıca, tecavüzün yakın olduğu ortaya çıktığında grup intiharı (shudan jiketsu) ve bireysel intihar hakkında çok sayıda rapor vardı. Tesisin bir buçuk yıllık çalışma süresi boyunca, sağlık ekibi tahmini 400-500 kürtaj gerçekleştirdi. Ne anestezik ne de antibiyotik mevcut olmadığından ve kürtajların çoğu geç dönem olduğundan, kadınlar ve kızlar aşırı acıya katlanmak zorunda kaldılar ve belirgin ölüm olasılığıyla karşı karşıya kaldılar. — Bu dönemin önemli fotoğraflarından biri, annesinin küllerini taşıyan belki de dokuz ya da 10 yaşındaki genç bir kızı gösteriyor. Kızın saçları, savaş yetimlerinin fotoğraflarında görünen diğer genç kızların saçları gibi çocuksu bir tarzda kesilir. Bu moda değil, kamuflajdı. Kızları ve genç kadınları erkek olarak giydirmek ve onlara çocuksu saç kesimi yapmak, Kore/Çin ordusunun ve diğer tecavüzcülerin dikkatini çekmelerini engellemek için sık sık boşuna bir çabanın parçasıydı.

  1636. Batı'da garip bir "anlatı" benimsedik."1930'ların ve 1940'ların Japon ordusu, yazdığımız gibi, 200.000 çoğunlukla Koreli genç kızı "konfor istasyonları" olarak adlandırılan "tecavüz kamplarına" zorla çekti."Birisi hikayeyi sorgularsa, kişiyi özetle "inkarcı" statüsüne göndeririz. Bu garip bir fenomen yaratır. Teselli kadınlarından sadece birkaçı zorla işe alındığını iddia ediyor ve bazıları Japonya'ya karşı tazminat kampanyası başlamadan önce farklı bir hikaye anlattı. Güçlü bir solcu bağlı, huzurevini işletir, kimi görebileceklerini kontrol eder ve başka bir şey söyleyebilecek herhangi bir kadını kötüleştirir. Aslında, hiç kimse Japon ordusunun herhangi bir Koreli kadını zorla bir konfor istasyonuna götürdüğüne dair herhangi bir belgesel kanıt bulamadı. Ve Koreli akademisyenler Ortodoks hesabını sorguladıklarında, kendi hükümetleri bazen onları cezai iftira için kovuşturuyor - gerçekten de, geçen sonbaharda bir heterodoks profesörü altı ay hapis cezasına çarptırdı -- Akademisyenler olarak abartılarla uğraşmaya alışkınız. Hikayenin saf kurgu olduğunu bulmaya alışkın değiliz. Ama bu comfort-women-se * x-slave hikayesinin doğasıdır. Garip bir şekilde bitmeyen bir hikaye oldu. Yaşlı Koreli kadınlar, Japon süngü noktasında seks kölesi olarak çalışmak zorunda kaldıklarını iddia ediyorlar. Japon hükümeti, Kore hükümetinin 1965'te yapılan bir anlaşma ile benzer iddialardan vazgeçtiğini söylüyor. Ama yine de sempati ifade eder ve daha fazla para sunar. Koreliler hala şikayet ediyor. Japon hükümeti tekrar özür diliyor, daha fazla para sunuyor ve Kore hükümeti bu soruyu bir daha asla gündeme getirmeyeceğine söz veriyor. Sonra yeni bir siyasi parti iktidarı ele geçirir, Japon özrünü samimiyetsiz ilan eder ve süreci yeniden başlatır. Zor bir hayatı olan yaşlı kadınlara sempati duymak iyidir. İstikrarlı bir ilişkiyi yeniden inşa etmek için bir müttefike para ödemek iyidir. Ancak köleleştirilmiş Koreli konfor kadınları hakkındaki iddialar tarihsel olarak doğru değildir. Japon ordusu Koreli kadınları genelevlerinde çalışmaya sürüklemedi. Koreli kadınları seks kölesi olarak kullanmadı. Aksi yöndeki iddialar tamamen gerçeklere dayalı izleme-izleme yanlış. - Harvard Üniversitesi

  1640. [Diary written by Korean worker at comfort stations in Burma, Singapore found] The diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma, which has been found in South Korea. SEOUL -- A diary written by a Korean man working at wartime brothels in Burma (current Myanmar) and Singapore during World War II has recently been found, a discovery that could shed light on the truth behind the role of the Imperial Japanese Army in controversial comfort stations for Japanese soldiers. The Korean man took part in the "4th comfort corps" that left Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula in 1942. He returned home in late 1944. His diary is the first of its kind found in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere. On the issue of so-called "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war, many of the testimonies were made several decades after the end of the war. The diary written by the Korean man -- a third person who had actually witnessed wartime brothels -- is important material to pave the way for cool-headed discussions on the thorny issue. The diary was discovered by Ahn Byong Jik, professor emeritus at Seoul University, who specializes in modern Korean economic history and is knowledgeable about the comfort women issue. A museum in the suburbs of Seoul found a diary and other materials at a second-hand bookshop about 10 years ago. Ahn found the diary while combing through the materials. The diary was written by the man from Kyongsang-namdo on the western part of the Korean Peninsula while working at the wartime brothels from 1943 to 1944. It was written in Chinese characters, katakana and Korean alphabets. The man was born in 1905 and died in 1979. His diary written from 1922 to 1957 can be seen today. In the diary, the man wrote on July 10, 1943, "At this time last year, I boarded a ship at Busan Wharf and took a first step on the southbound trip." On April 6, 1944, he wrote, "When a comfort squad left Busan two years ago, Mr. Tsumura who came as the head of the fourth comfort corps was working (in a market)." A research report compiled in November 1945 by U.S. soldiers who questioned managers of comfort stations caught in Burma says that 703 comfort women and about 90 business operators left Busan Port on July 10, 1942. The accuracy of his diary is backed up by the fact that the date of their departure is the same. Ahn says, "It is certain that the records compiled by the U.S. military refer to the fourth comfort corps." As opposed to the view generally held in South Korea that comfort women were forcibly conscripted by Japanese military and police, Ahn says, "Comfort women were recruited by business operators in Korea, and there was no need for the military to abduct them." In the diary, the man touched on relationships between comfort stations, comfort women and the military. He wrote on July 19, 1943, "Two comfort stations that belong to a flying corps were handed over to the logistics command." On July 29, 1943, he wrote, "I've heard that Haruyo and Hiroko who had left (a comfort station) to have conjugal relations (with their husbands) returned to Kinseikan as comfort women again." The Korean man also wrote in his diary on Aug. 13, 1943, "Comfort women went to see a movie, saying that the railway corps will run a movie." He wrote on Oct. 27, 1944, "I was asked by a comfort woman to remit 600 yen, so I withdrew her deposit and sent it from a central post office.” The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen. The author managed an orchard after returning home, and also served on the board of a private elementary school.

  1641. Kim said she has never received an apology from Japan, which is a flat-out lie. The truth is that comfort women's organization “Korean council” embezzle donations, force comfort women to lie, obstruct reconciliation with Japan, so that they can continue the comfort women propaganda. Japan has apologized many times and paid huge amounts of atonement money to the Korean women, but the Korean government has not given it to the women. *Japan-South Korea Treaty of 1965 During treaty negotiations, the Japanese government asked the S Korean government to identify and separate individual claims from the treaty because the Japanese government wanted to make sure the survivors received compensation. The South Korean government declined and accepted the entire sum of 800 million dollars (over ten billion dollars in today's money) in place of its citizens and spent all of it on infrastructures. Therefore it is not reasonable for the South Korean government to keep asking for additional compensation from Japan. *South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan” And their claim that they were forced into pros**tution is also a lie. A Korean professor interviewed the Korean women in 2003. After the interview professor commented: “I could sense that women were not happy being confined in this place. One of the women (Bae Chun-hee) told me she reminisced the romance she had with a Japanese soldier. She said she hated her father who sold her. She also told me that women there didn't appreciate being coached by Korean council to give false testimonies but had to obey Korean council's order. When Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995, 61 former Korean comfort women defied Korean council's order and accepted compensation. Those 61 women were vilified as traitors. Their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. So the rest of the women were terrified of Korean council and wouldn't dare to defy again. Korean council (some of its members were arrested as North Korean spi*es) has used the comfort women issue for its political purpose, which is to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.”

  1642. Numerous wartime documents define comfort women as prostitutes. ⚫︎Contemporary U.S. Military Sources One primary source is Report No. 49, U.S. Office of War Information, dated October 1, 1944. This is an interrogation report of 20 Korean comfort women in Burma. This report clearly states: A “comfort woman” is nothing more than a pros**tute or professional camp follower. ⚫︎Allied Translator Records and Captured Japanese Documents Another primary source is found in the ATIS (Allied Translator/Interpreter Section) Research Report No. 120. It says, “Amenities of the Japanese Armed Forces,” dated November 15, 1945. Among them are the following: From a captured Japanese document, “Rules for Restaurants and Houses of Pros**tution,” dated February 1943: MANILA: “Persons receiving permission to open business [comfort station] will…submit…copy of personal histories of employees….” “Permission is necessary before anyone joins the establishment.” SHANGHAI SECTOR: “The pros**tutes will possess licenses….” “Unlicensed pros**tutes are strictly prohibited from plying their trade.” “The pros**tute and the operator will share equally the proceeds of the work done by the pros**tute.” “Tacloban Brothel Regulations,” undated: “Places called brothels in these regulations are special brothels operated with Filipino women (licensed pros**tutes).”

  1643. Ne vous laissez pas prendre par la propagande des communistes. Un journal intime rédigé par un responsable de poste de confort coréen a été découvert en 2013, et il montre clairement que des hommes d'affaires coréens ne se contentaient pas de recruter des Coréennes, mais possédaient et exploitaient également des postes de confort. Le journal contient le compte-rendu détaillé des propriétaires coréens transférant les énormes profits qu'ils réalisaient en exploitant des stations de confort. Les opérateurs des stations de réconfort étaient des civils non militaires. Les rapports mensuels des consul généraux japonais locaux dans diverses villes chinoises identifient les exploitants de postes de réconfort avec des femmes de réconfort coréennes comme des Coréens. Aucune station de confort exploitée par le Japon n'a été signalée avec des femmes coréennes. Les postes de réconfort étaient des entreprises gérées par des civils. L'auteur du journal a lui-même gagné 43 000 yens en deux ans - une somme énorme si l'on considère que le salaire mensuel moyen d'un travailleur pendant cette période n'était que de 40 yens.

  1644. "Japonya'nın Kore'ye karşı işlediği iddia edilen suçlarla ilgili en sık tekrarlanan ve en çarpık efsanelerden biri, sözde “konfor kadınları" ile ilgilidir” Almanya Japonya doğru olmasa da “suçlarını telafi” olduğunu sonunda hakkındaki iddialar. Sadece bir yönü düşünmeme izin verin. 1965'te Kore hükümeti Park Chung-hee, iki ülke arasındaki ilişkileri normalleştiren Japonya ile bir anlaşma imzaladı. Antlaşma uyarınca Güney Kore, Japon egemenliğinin kurbanları için çok büyük miktarda ekonomik yardım, hibe, kredi ve önemli ölçüde tazminat aldı. (Japon hükümeti ulusal bütçenin 2,5 katını tazminat olarak ödedi, ancak Kore'de 40 yıl boyunca Japonya'ya karşı nefreti kışkırtmak için gizli tuttu ve Kore hükümeti gerçeği gizlemeye devam ediyor. Tüm bireysel iddialar 1965 Japonya-Güney Kore Antlaşması'nda çözülmesine rağmen, Japon hükümeti Koreli kadınlara birkaç kez iyi bir jest olarak tazminat teklif etti. Bununla birlikte, Japonya 1995 yılında Asya kadın Fonu aracılığıyla tazminat teklif ettiğinde(tazminat, Japonya Başbakanı'ndan kişisel bir özür mektubu ile geldi), Güney Koreli STK, eski konfor kadınlarını Japonya'nın özürünü ve tazminatını kabul etmemekle tehdit etti. STK'NIN emrine meydan okuyanların 61'i hain olarak doğrulandı, isimleri ve adresleri gazetelerde fahişe olarak yayınlandı ve hayatlarının geri kalanını utanç içinde yaşamak zorunda kaldılar. Güney Kore hükümeti, 2015 yılında konfor kadınları konusunda Japonya-Kore anlaşması imzaladı ve Japon hükümeti eski Koreli konfor kadınlarına kefaret parası olarak 1 milyar dolar ödedi. Ancak, Kore Moon Jae In yönetimi, 2018'de herhangi bir bildirimde bulunmaksızın anlaşmayı terk etti. Fesih duyurusu Japonya için tamamen kabul edilemez. Cumhurbaşkanı Moon Jae-in de dahil olmak üzere ROK Hükümeti, defalarca “anlaşmayı terk etmeyeceğini” ve “Japonya ile yeniden müzakere istemeyeceğini " belirtti”) - O sırada Japon hükümeti bireysel kurbanları telafi etmeyi teklif etti, ancak Güney Kore hükümeti teklifi reddetti ve tüm parayı alması ve vatandaşlarını telafi etmesi konusunda ısrar etti. Bu paranın çok azı (sadece 250 ABD doları) bireylere ödendi ve bunun yerine Güney Kore'nin ekonomik gelişimi için kullanıldı. Japon hükümeti, konfor kadın sistemi için özür diledi (aslında savaştan önce hem Kore hem de Japonya'da var olan ve çok sayıda Japon fahişenin yanı sıra diğer ülkelerden gelenleri de içeren lisanslı fuhuş sisteminin bir uzantısıydı), Almanya hiçbir zaman özür dilemedi veya eski fahişelere herhangi bir tazminat ödemedi. Aslında, hiç kimse böyle bir şey talep etmedi, çünkü işgal altındaki ülkelerde haklı ya da yanlış bir şekilde işbirlikçi olarak görülen bu kadınlar hiçbir zaman destekçi ya da savunucu bulamadılar” - Profesör Andrzej Kozlowski, Varşova Üniversitesi

  1647. Harold John Timperley, the author of “ What war means” who first reported the Nanjing Massacre, was an advisor to the Nationalist government’s Ministry of Information. In "An Overview of Propaganda Operations of the International Information Division of the Central Propaganda Bureau of the Nationalist Party from 1938 to April 1941" held in the Guomindang Historical Documents Archive in Taipei, it is clearly mentioned that "What War Means" was a propaganda book written to fight against the enemy, edited and printed by this organization. Timperley's book was a propaganda of Chinese Nationalist Party. On 16 April 2015, Sankei Shimbun reported the discovery of documents detailing Timperley's activities as the head of the UK Branch of the International Information Division, which strongly supports his involvement in the propaganda operation.

Even the New York Times, hardly a Japanese propaganda machine, ran an article in 1938 entitled, “Ex-Chinese Officers Among U.S. Refugees: Colonel and His Aides Admit Blaming the Japanese for Crimes in Nanking. it stated “The ex-Chinese officers in the presence of Americans and other foreigners confessed looting in Nanking and also that one night they dragged girls from the refugee camp into the darkness and the next day blamed Japanese soldiers for the attacks.”

  1649. “One photo, which the book credits to the military Politburo of the Chinese Nationalist government, shows women and children walking across a bridge with Japanese soldiers, and carries the caption: ‘The Japanese rounded up thousands of women. Most were gang-r*ped or forced into military pros**tution.’ “The truth is, although the photo was published with a similar caption by the Chinese Nationalists in 1938, apparently as anti-Japanese propaganda, it originally appeared the previous year as one of four in a Japanese newspaper, Asahi Gurafu, showing peaceful scenes of Chinese villagers under Japanese occupation, with women and children returning home from the fields. “In the sharper original photo, it is possible to see that two of the villagers are smiling, and there is a woman pulling a cart of freshly harvested cotton that was cropped out of the Nationalist Chinese version. The cropped photo appeared in a recent book on Nanjing by a Japanese professor as an illustration of Japanese army atrocities in China. But after its interpretation was challenged, the publisher of his book apologized and retracted it.

  1652.  @isawu3360  1959 Oct 19 Donga Ilbo - "66% of Comfort Women Infected" October 19, 1959 ab article from the South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo. It is entitled "66% of Comfort Women Infected--Results of a Nationwide Testing of Female Entertainers." The article talks about how nationwide 392,707 female entertainers, including 261,089 comfort women, were tested for venereal disease over a 1-year period. The article is evidence that in 1959 Korea was registering women to be "comfort women," which was a euphemism for "military pros**tute." Korea was registering women to be pros***utes for UN soldiers stationed in Korea. The 261,089 comfort woment mentioned in the article is evidence that Korea had a significant number of comfort women, of which 66.4% were infected with a veneral disease. In the 1990s South Koreans begin criticizing Japan for its comfort women system in World War II, but have hardly said anything about its own comfort women system

  1653.  @isawu3360  Koreans have continued until today to procure pros**tutes under conditions of near-coercion for the use of their own troops and U.S. servicemen. In 2003, after informal and non-binding hearings instituted by the Philippine government, the Seoul District Court ruled that three night club owners near U.S. Camp Casey must compensate Filipina women who said they had been forced into pros***tution at the clubs.

Check my saved video Lee Yong-soo, the most famous comfort woman, filmed in 1992 is now found, in which she testified that she became Comfort Woman just because she followed a man who gave her a dress and shoes, NOT because she was tricked or abd*ucted by force by Imperial Japanese Army. The footage filmed on Aug 15th, 1992 at KBS. That seems a little bit ironic that the announcer reconfirmed that she became Comfort Woman NOT because she was abd*ucted by force by Imperial Japanese Army, but she just followed a man by her own will.

  1656.  @njrose2127  - Pointing Fingers, Shifting Blame The commission member was uncomfortable with the arrangement. In response to opposition from the Japanese government, she said that the statue was made using donations from the private sector. The commission is responsible only for the inscription, and commission members attended the unveiling ceremony only on invitation, the commission member said. Manila city administrator Jojo Alcovendaz, who attended the unveiling ceremony on behalf of the mayor, was uncomfortable with the ceremony’s touching on unresolved issues between Japan and China. Before reading the prepared congratulatory remarks from the mayor, Alcovendaz openly expressed his hopes that the statue would not lead to any trouble. Alcovendaz explained that he tried to confirm with the head of the historical Commission whether they had received permission for the statue inscription from the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs, but said he received no immediate reply. The city and the historical commission are pointing fingers at one another and attempting to shift blame away from themselves. The historical commission announced the unveiling ceremony on its website on December 6—two days before the event—but thereafter deleted it due to the fuss the statue had caused. The historical commission places around 30 inscriptions each year on historical structures throughout the Philippines. However, the commission member with whom we spoke said that placing an inscription on a newly-erected statue is “out of the ordinary.” Open Only to CCP Media The names of five individuals and groups are inscribed on the back of the pedestal as donors. Almost all of them are 🇨🇳. Also inscribed, in English, is “Statue of a Filipino Comfort Woman,” along with the name of the Filipino maker of the statue. We asked several people who stopped to look at the statue whether they had ever heard of comfort women before. Not a single person was able to say who the comfort women were.” - Foreign Ministry Didn’t Know: Chinese Hand Seen in Comfort Women Statue in Manila

  1659. “Comfort Women = Sex Slaves” Theory Totsuka Etsuro: The author of the “sex slave” concept The man who first proposed to the United Nations that the comfort women be referred to as “sex slaves” was the Japanese human rights lawyer Totsuka Etsuro(CCP’s Agent) Totsuka brought up the term “sex slave” before the UN Commission on Human Rights, and before long UN bodies had accordingly defined the comfort women as being “sex slaves”. The idea that the comfort women were sex slaves did not arise from the findings of any empirical investigation, nor was it conceptualized on the basis of any facts. Totsuka said that the idea of adopting the term “sex slaves” simply popped into his mind one day. According to Fujiki, when Totsuka was asked about how he came up with the term “sex slaves”, he said, “I had a hunch! It was intuition!” He then continued as follows: “It’s amazing, isn’t it? I had been frequenting the United Nations for thirty-four years. During that time, I submitted over twenty motions to discuss instances of Japanese human rights violations and delivered statements on them here, but not one was taken up. And yet, in 1992, when I reframed the comfort women as being sex slaves, the UN commissioners were glued to my every word. So you see, it’s incredible, isn’t it?”

  1660. -Coaching comfort women and stage-managing testimonies at the UN Tachi saw one other important thing during the UN conference. When she got lost and was wandering through the huge building where the meeting was taking place, she stumbled upon a room where people were gathering. Here, former comfort women who were testifying on a stage were being prompted and trained on how to deliver their lines. Unsurprisingly, the people who were stage-managing the whole operation were Japanese women (activists close tie with communists). In this manner, the former comfort women were being trained as living witnesses to serve the movement.

  1661. -At UN human rights conference The representative from Taiwan started by saying, “Unlike the women from Korea, Taiwanese women are gentle and obedient, so the Japanese soldiers treated us kindly. That’s why we take a somewhat different stance from the Koreans who stridently demand reparations.” The participants in the conference suddenly erupted into jeer and exclaimed, “What are you saying!” Before she had finished speaking, the conference room fell into pandemonium as the attendees threw fits or began approaching the podium. One person yelled, “Stop interpreting!”, and the interpreter abruptly halted. The ones who had shouted her down were well-known Japanese human rights activists.(communists) After the conference reopened, a Thai woman who said that she was living in India shouted at the top of her lungs, “British soldiers did the same sort of things, no, even worse things, when they were stationed in India. Why aren’t you talking about that too?”

  1662. It was common knowledge in Korea until the 1970s that Korean comfort station owners recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations, and no Koreans opposed that concept. Then Japanese newspaper published a series of fabricated articles in the 1980's falsely accusing Japanese military of coercing Korean comfort women. Korean communists with close ties to NK thought this was a great opportunity to defame Japan and block reconciliation between Japan and Korea. So they formed the anti-Japan lobby group in 1990 and began spreading comfort women’s false testimonies worldwide.

The key player is increasingly not South Korea, but China, and the ultimate target is not Japan, but the United States, as the comfort women are co-opted by Beijing in its anti-American information war.” Of course, if you don't want to read it, you don't have to.

  1665.  @thatidiotsofa2659  It’s up to you lol Japan has chosen Taiwan instead of SK. President Moon has refused to join the Quadrilateral Alliance of Taiwan, the US, Australia and India to confront CCP. It seems that many Koreans and Japanese also want to break diplomatic relations, that's fine.

  1666. The many contemporaneous records of the allied forces at the end of the war clearly identify comfort women as contract pros**tutes. The testimonies are coached by notorious organization “Korean council” Most Japanese are no longer seeking to improve relations between the two countries. The CCP/ N Korea is leading the communisation of SK behind the scenes using anti-Japanese propaganda, which is what the SK people want so they should live with it SK should apologize for its lies and pay all the money back to Japan

  1667. In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw

  1668. Google “Futsukaichi Rest Home” Japanese government apologized and paid huge amounts of compensation to the wartime pros**tutes but Korean government never have apologized to the Japanese victims. “During the facility's one-and-a-half year working period, the medical team carried out an estimated 400–500 abo*rtions. Because of the shortage of medication, patients sometimes had to accept operations without anesthesia that was potentially lethal( Some of the Japanese victims were died during operation “

  1669.  @ESCL2004  Michael Breen, Korea Times contributor and author of the popular text The Koreans (2004) reacted critically. “They were the thugs, the brutes, the monsters, the most horrible…” They were not tried as soldiers or POW camp guards who had done their jobs. They were tried for overzealousness, for decisions and actions over and above the call of duty. They were the thugs, the brutes, the monsters, the most horrible… Breen describes atrocities committed by Korean camp guards that represented indignities that no human being should suffer. He chastised the commission for its political correctness: “The Commission should know that those rounding up comfort women were Koreans and those torturing people in police stations were mostly Koreans.”

  1671. Throughout the Vietnam war, SK soldiers violently, systematically ra_ped and se_xually assaulted thousands of young women, some as young as 13 and 14 years of age. Many of these women bore children as a result of these assaults. Today, between 5,000 and 30,000 children of mixed Korean-Vietnamese ancestry, called the “Lai Dai Han,” live at the margins of Vietnamese society. Ms.Tuyet (Vietnamese) was 14 years old when she was ra_ped by a Korean soldier. Her family owned a coffee shop near Korean military base, and she was ra_ped while her mother was out for shopping. After that, both she and her mother were raped and impregnated by SK soldiers. After her mother died of illness in 1975, Ms.Tuyet worked hard to raise not only her own children, but also her mother's “Lai Dai Han” son. “My life has been a series of hardships," she said, calling on the South Korean government to apologize to her mother and herself. On October 19, 2015, the Voice of Vietnam, an American NGO that supports her, delivered a demand for an apology signed by 29,000 people to the South Korean Embassy in Washington, DC. But it has remained ignored. Moreover, in a speech to the UN Human Rights Council, South Korean Foreign Minister announced his intention to hold an international conference on sexual violence against women in conflict zones, led by the South Korean government, in order to pass on the comfort women issue to the next generation. In other words, S Korea declared that it would continue to slander the Japanese people with fabricated stories while ignoring the real victims who were ra_ped by Korean soldiers. What shamelessness!

  1682. 1952 May 15 - 9,642 Entertainers Tested for VD in Busan😂 The May 15, 1952 article is from the SK newspaper Gyeonghyang Sinmun It reports that of 9,642 entertainers tested for venereal disease in Busan in April of that year, including 5,445 comfort women (military pros**tutes), 3,374 tested positive. The title of the article reads "6,000-plus Hostesses," but it should read "9,000-plus. Of 6,000-plus Hostesses, 3,000-plus Have VD in Busan The April test results done on 9,642 entertainers in Busan show that 6,268 tested healthy, but 3,374 tested positive for venereal disease (VD), which is 35% of the total. Those tested were 1,020 dances, 5,445 comfort women, 1,212 hostesses, 1,182 unlicensed prostitutes, and 783 others. It shows the most common VD was gonorrhea with 2,247 (21.9%) women testing positive. Next was syphilis with 920 women testing positive. 548 others had something else.

It was common knowledge in S Korea until the 1970s that Korean comfort station owners recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations, and no S Koreans contested that notion. Then Japanese newspaper published a series of fabricated articles in the 1980's falsely accusing Japanese military of abducting Korean comfort women. S Korean communists with close ties to N Korea thought this was a great opportunity to discredit Japan and block reconciliation between Japan and S Korea. So they formed the anti-Japan lobby group in 1990 and began spreading comfort women lies worldwide.

  1686. Perhaps most disconcertingly, students typically have little, if any, awareness of SK’s state-sponsored se_xual labor before and after Japanese annexation. During the Koryo(918 to 1392 CE) and Joseon (1392-1910 CE) dynasties, K sent tens of thousands of “tribute women” (kongnyo) to China. Since 1945, an estimated one-quarter to one-half million “comfort women” have serviced American soldiers, with the knowledge and, during the 1970s, encouragement and supervision, of the SK government. Modern-day s_ex workers in SK, who often service military personnel, receive little public or government sympathy

  1688. Did you know Dutch government officially announced that “Dutch government regards the Comfort women system primarily as pros**tution.” 1994? — The Bart von Poelgeest Report “The study by Dr. Poelgeest, then an officer of the Ministry of Interior of the Netherlands, was commissioned by the Dutch government in 1993. It is a comprehensive report on the recruitment, voluntary, of European women for pros**tution in the Dutch East Indies during the Japanese occupation in World War II. It also briefly touches upon recruitment of local women although that is not the focus of the study. There was nothing in the report to indicate a policy or practice of mass abd_uction of women, European or locals, as comfort women.” “During the war in China in the 1930s, the occurrence of venereal disease among the troops had led to problems with deployment and the Japanese military forces therefore decided to set up military brothels as a preventive measure. In addition to local women, Japanese and Korean women – Korea being part of the Japanese Empire – were recruited for the brothels in China.” “There’s no mass abdu_ction” ‪”Korean couple had lured European women to the establishment under false pretences.” “In practice, it was the local military commanders who had to draw up regulations on the establishment of military brothels in their territory. The chief of staff of the 16th army on Java and thus head of the military administration there decided that a license was required for the establishment of a military brothel. A license was issued only if certain conditions were met, relating to, for example, regular medical check-ups and payment. A further precondition was that the women working in the brothels had to do so voluntarily; according to the regulations, a license would only be issued if the women involved signed a statement to the effect that they were providing their service voluntarily.”

  1689. Are you a member of “Global Alliance” of the CCP? The US government, under the Clinton and Bush administrations, spent 7 years and 30 million dollars to look into German and Japanese war crimes. After 7 years of research, they found no evidence of the forced pros**tution of comfort women, the Nanjing Massacre. The IWG report was published in the spring of 2007. Out of millions of pages of newly declassified material, much of it related to Japan, and they were unable to find evidence of forced prost**ution. They also looked for information about the Nanjing Massacre and unit 731, but found no smoking guns. Nobody doubts that there was a massacre in Nanjing, and nobody doubts the Chinese ability to exaggerate by orders of magnitude, and then to believe their own stories. A CCP organization lobbied for the IWG investigation. The “Global Alliance for Preserving the History of WWII in Asia” (Global Alliance). It should be noted that Global Alliance was closely associated with Iris Chang, author of “The Rape of Nanking”. Surprisingly, the IWG report offers an apology to Global Alliance for not finding anything.

  1691. Some comfort women earned enough for their services (at rates set and enforced by the Japanese military authorities) to pay off the advance money(300-1500yen) given to their parents. Saving money was encouraged by the Japanese military, and accumulating large sums was hardly impracticable. Now-deceased comfort woman Mun Ok-chu saved up a staggering 26,145 yen in three years (at a time when a sergeant in the Japanese army made between 23 and 30 yen per month). Mun made more money in 1943 – a lot more – than the Japanese lieutenant-general commanding all Imperial land forces in Burma.

  1693. A diary written by a Korean comfort station manager was discovered in 2013, and it makes it clear that Korean businessmen not only recruited Korean women but also owned and operated comfort stations. The diary contains the detailed account of Korean owners wire transferring huge profit they made from operating comfort stations. Comfort station operators were non-military civilians. Monthly reports by local Japanese consul generals in various Chinese cities identify comfort station operators with Korean comfort women as Korean. No Japanese-operated comfort station was reported with Korean women. The comfort stations were civilian-operated businesses. The diary author himself earned 43,000 yen in two years’ time—an enormous sum when one considers the average monthly worker’s salary during that period of time was just 40 yen.

  1694. The former Comfort Women’s testimonies are inconsistent as they were coached by the organization ⚫︎In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were “all Korean”, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council. ⚫︎A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a pros***ute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991)  a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Kiseng in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ⚫︎ According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abd*ucted by the Japanese military. ⚫︎ According to several witnesses, Korean Council (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abd*ucted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Korean Council put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ⚫︎ A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean Council's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Korean Council. They are swi*ndlers"

  1695. “Being a comfort women is basically an occupation. Their job was to offer sexual services in order to make money. Women cannot go to comfort stations to do this work without legal authorization. They are not simply taken away. In most cases, they were sold by their fathers and mothers, if not of their own free will. The reason is that, to be a comfort woman, or to work for a sexual service business operator, a contract is absolutely necessary. The contract requires written consent signed by a legal guardian. The legal guardian can be a parent or a family member. In those days, foster fathers were accepted as legal guardians. Foster fathers in those days were typical human traff*ckers. Why? Because they played parent such that they can legally take control of women. For this, an official copy of the family register was required. This was necessary because it was important to make sure who the legal guardian was and, even more importantly, age had to be verified. In those days, a woman had to be a least 17 years of age to be permitted to work as a pros**tute. Those under 17 were not allowed to work in brothels at all. It was strict. However, KIM Bok-dong, who was made the figurehead by the MOON Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Council, said that she was taken away at the age of 14 to become a comfort woman. This is a lie. LEE Yong-soo, as you may know well, “was 14 when she was taken away by the Japanese army at night while she was sleeping,” which is in a book written by YOON Mi-hyang. This is a lie. In her initial testimony, LEE Yong-soo says that she followed a friend called KIM Bon-soon to meet a certain person. When she was given a red dress and a pair of leather shoes in a bag, feeling attracted, before she knew it, she went with them. She said that she was 14. LEE Yong-soo’s age keeps changing. She has mentioned being 14, 15 and 16 and she was 14 in her initial testimony. This is a lie. A 14-year-old girl could not have been a comfort woman. It was just not possible to work as one at the age of 15. The ROK is currently a haven of lies. From the 1960s to 1970s, when women from rural areas were wandering around Seoul Station, someone always approached them to talk to them. They would ask, “Aren’t you hungry? Aren’t you cold?” “Yes.” “Why don’t you come with me? I can give you something to eat in a warm place.” So they followed the person and found themselves in a place that you can easily imagine. That is what happened to comfort women. However, when comfort women were taken away, traders, or procurers, made contracts with their parents and family members and paid in advance. It is a loan from the employer. KIM Hak-soon testified first on August 14, 1991 that she had been a comfort woman. In fact, she was also bought by her foster father for 40 yen. Her mother sold her for 40 yen. KIM Hak-soon’s foster father gave her kisaeng training at an academy and attempted to do business within the country but could not because she fell short of the legal age. Accordingly, in order to take her to China, he asked KIM’s mother if he could “take her to China,” to which she consented. At the time of departure, KIM testified, her mother went to Pyongyang Station to sell her, carrying a yellow sweater. Now, none of these women, KIM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KIL Won-ok or KIM Bok-dong, said in their testimonies that they were taken away by the Japanese army. YOON Mi-hyang of the Korean Council for the Women Drafted, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Moon Jae-in are all lying. All of you must know the truth. The reason why we are making a statement here is that these lies fill the entire ROK, causing conflict and division between Korean people. The lie forces Japan to break their relationship with South Korea. We must know correct history. By knowing correct history, the people’s thinking will be one. In that sense, “the comfort woman statue symbolizing hatred and conflict”, “this comfort woman statue symbolizing lies and fabrication” must definitely be removed.” -Director of the Korean History Textbook Research Institute

  1696. Have you watched Lee Yon-Soo’s lie? Check my saved video Lee Yong-soo filmed in 1992 is now found, in which she testified that she became Comfort Woman just because she followed a man who gave her a dress and shoes, NOT because she was tricked or abducted by force by Imperial Japanese Army. The footage filmed on Aug 15th, 1992 at KBS. That seems a little bit ironic that the announcer reconfirmed that she became Comfort Woman NOT because she was abd*ucted by force by Imperial Japanese Army, but she just followed a man by her own will. —— ⚫︎ In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet.

  1702. Konfor kadınlar ve profesörler - Harvard Üniversitesi Özet: Batı'da garip bir "anlatı" benimsedik."1930'ların ve 1940'ların Japon ordusu, yazdığımız gibi, 200.000 çoğunlukla Koreli genç kızı "konfor istasyonları" olarak adlandırılan "tecavüz kamplarına" zorla çekti."Birisi hikayeyi sorgularsa, kişiyi özetle "inkarcı" statüsüne göndeririz. Bu garip bir fenomen yaratır. Teselli kadınlarından sadece birkaçı zorla işe alındığını iddia ediyor ve bazıları Japonya'ya karşı tazminat kampanyası başlamadan önce farklı bir hikaye anlattı. Güçlü bir solcu bağlı, huzurevini işletir, kimi görebileceklerini kontrol eder ve başka bir şey söyleyebilecek herhangi bir kadını kötüleştirir. Aslında, hiç kimse Japon ordusunun herhangi bir Koreli kadını zorla bir konfor istasyonuna götürdüğüne dair herhangi bir belgesel kanıt bulamadı. Ve Koreli akademisyenler Ortodoks hesabını sorguladıklarında, kendi hükümetleri bazen onları cezai iftira için kovuşturuyor - gerçekten de, geçen sonbaharda bir heterodoks profesörü altı ay hapis cezasına çarptırdı

  1704. Kore otoritesi diyor ki: “Rahat bir kadın olmak temelde bir meslektir. Onların işi para kazanmak için cinsel hizmetler sunmaktı. Kadınlar yasal izin almadan bu işi yapmak için konfor istasyonlarına gidemezler. Onlar sadece götürülmezler. Çoğu durumda, kendi özgür iradeleri olmasa da babaları ve anneleri tarafından satıldılar. Bunun nedeni, rahat bir kadın olmak ya da bir cinsel hizmet işletmecisi için çalışmak için bir sözleşmenin kesinlikle gerekli olmasıdır. Sözleşme, yasal bir vasi tarafından imzalanmış yazılı onay gerektirir. Yasal vasi bir ebeveyn veya aile üyesi olabilir. O günlerde, koruyucu babalar yasal vasi olarak kabul edildi. O günlerde koruyucu babalar tipik insan kaçakçılarıydı. Niçin? Çünkü ebeveynleri yasal olarak kadınların kontrolünü ele geçirebilecek şekilde oynadılar. Bunun için aile sicilinin resmi bir kopyası gerekliydi. Bu gerekliydi çünkü yasal vasinin kim olduğundan ve daha da önemlisi yaşın doğrulanması gerektiğinden emin olmak önemliydi. O günlerde, bir kadının fahişe olarak çalışmasına izin vermek için en az 17 yaşında olması gerekiyordu. 17 yaşın altındakilerin genelevlerde çalışmasına izin verilmedi. Sıkı oldu. Bununla birlikte, Moon Jae-in yönetimi, cinsiyet eşitliği ve aile Bakanlığı, Kore Konseyi tarafından figür haline getirilen KİM Bok-dong, 14 yaşında rahat bir kadın olmak için götürüldüğünü söyledi. Bu bir yalandır. Lee Yong-soo, iyi bildiğiniz gibi, Yoon Mi-hyang tarafından yazılmış bir kitapta yer alan” uyurken geceleri Japon ordusu tarafından götürüldüğünde 14 yaşındaydı". Bu bir yalandır. İlk ifadesinde Lee Yong-soo, kim bon adında bir arkadaşını takip ettiğini söylüyor-soon belli bir kişiyle tanışmak için. Bir çantada kırmızı bir elbise ve bir çift deri ayakkabı verildiğinde, çekiciliğini hissetmeden önce onlarla birlikte gitti. 14 yaşında olduğunu söyledi. LEE Yong-soo'nun yaşı sürekli değişiyor. 14, 15 ve 16 yaşında olduğunu ve ilk ifadesinde 14 yaşında olduğunu belirtti. Bu bir yalandır. 14 yaşında bir kız teselli edici bir kadın olamazdı. 15 yaşında bir kişi olarak çalışmak mümkün değildi. ROK şu anda bir yalan cenneti. 1960'lardan 1970'lere kadar, kırsal alanlardan gelen kadınlar Seul istasyonunda dolaşırken, birileri onlarla konuşmak için onlara her zaman yaklaştı. Sor, “aç Değil misin? Üşümüyor musun?” “Evet.""Neden benimle gelmiyorsun? Sana sıcak bir yerde yiyecek bir şeyler verebilirim.” Böylece kişiyi takip ettiler ve kendilerini kolayca hayal edebileceğiniz bir yerde buldular. Kadınları rahatlatmak için olan buydu. Ancak, hayat kadınlarına alınan yokken, tüccarlar, ya da pezevenkler bile, ebeveynler ve aile üyeleri ile birlikte ve peşin olarak sözleşme yaptı. Bu işverenden bir kredidir. KİM Hak-soon ilk olarak 14 Ağustos 1991'de rahat bir kadın olduğunu ifade etti. Aslında, o da 40 yen için üvey babası tarafından satın alındı. Annesi onu 40 yen'e sattı. KİM Hak-soon'un üvey babası ona bir akademide kisaeng eğitimi verdi ve ülke içinde iş yapmaya çalıştı, ancak yasal yaşın altında olduğu için yapamadı. Buna göre, onu Çin'e götürmek için, Kim'in annesine “onu Çin'e götürüp götüremeyeceğini” sordu. Kalkış sırasında, kim ifade verdi, annesi sarı bir kazak taşıyan, onu satmak için Pyongyang istasyonuna gitti. Şimdi, bu kadınların hiçbiri, KİM Hak-soon, LEE Yong-soo, KİL Won-ok veya KİM Bok-dong, ifadelerinde Japon ordusu tarafından alındıklarını söylemedi. Kore kadın Konseyi'nden Yoon Mi-hyang, cinsiyet eşitliği ve aile Bakanlığı ve Moon Jae-in'in hepsi yalan söylüyor. Hepiniz gerçeği bilmelisiniz. Burada bir açıklama yapmamızın nedeni, bu yalanların tüm ROK'U doldurması, Kore halkı arasında çatışmaya ve bölünmeye neden olmasıdır. Bu yalan, Japonya'yı Güney Kore ile ilişkilerini koparmaya zorluyor. Doğru tarihi bilmeliyiz. Doğru tarihi bilerek, insanların düşüncesi bir olacaktır. O anlamda , "nefret ve çatışmayı simgeleyen konfor kadın Heykeli”, "yalanları ve uydurmayı simgeleyen bu rahat kadın Heykeli” kesinlikle kaldırılması gerekir.” - Kore tarihi Ders Kitabı Araştırma Enstitüsü Müdürü

Google 영화 ‘귀향’의 역사왜곡과 일본군 위안부에 대한 7가지 오해 “단도직입적으로 말해서, 아무런 현실성이 없다고 결론내려도 무방하다. ‘역사적 사실’이 아닌 것이다. 왜냐하면 일본군 위안부 문제가 불거진 이후 지난 수십 여년 동안 한국과 일본의 여러 학자들과 정부 기구가 관련 수많은 연구와 조사를 진행했음에도 불구하고, 일제시대에 일본군이 조직적인 지휘체계를 통해서 민가에 난입해 직접적으로 조선인 처녀를 위안소로 강제연행(납치)했다는 객관적인 근거는 단 한개도 찾아내지 못했기 때문이다. 그렇다면 실제 일본군의 위안부 모집 현실은 어떠했던가. 사실, 생존 조선인 일본군 위안부들의 증언에서조차 일본군에 의한 직접적 강제연행에 대한 언급은 드물다. 실제 증언은 일본군이 아니라, 위안부 자신들과 위안소 사이를 매개한 ‘업자’(속칭 포주) 등에 의한 사기·약취, 인신매매 등의 요인으로써 일본군 위안소까지 가게 됐다는 내용들이 압도적이다.”

  1708. Japonya'nın Kore'ye karşı işlediği iddia edilen suçlarla ilgili en sık tekrarlanan ve en çarpıtılmış efsanelerden biri, sözde “konfor kadınları " ile ilgilidir” Almanya Japonya doğru olmasa da “suçlarını telafi” olduğunu sonunda hakkındaki iddialar. Sadece bir yönü düşünmeme izin verin. 1965'te Kore hükümeti Park Chung-hee, iki ülke arasındaki ilişkileri normalleştiren Japonya ile bir anlaşma imzaladı. Anlaşmaya göre Güney Kore, Japon yönetiminin mağdurları için çok büyük miktarda ekonomik yardım, hibe, kredi ve önemli ölçüde tazminat aldı. (Japon hükümeti ulusal bütçenin 3 katını tazminat olarak ödedi, ancak Kore'de 40 yıl boyunca Japonya'ya karşı nefreti kışkırtmak için gizli tuttu ve Kore hükümeti gerçeği gizlemeye çalışıyor. Tüm bireysel iddialar 1965 Japonya-Güney Kore Antlaşması'nda çözülmesine rağmen, Japon hükümeti hala Koreli kadınlara iyi bir jest olarak birkaç kez tazminat teklif etti. Bununla birlikte, Japonya 1995 yılında Asya kadın Fonu aracılığıyla tazminat teklif ettiğinde (tazminat Japonya Başbakanı'ndan kişisel bir özür mektubu ile geldi), Güney Koreli STK eski konfor kadınlarını Japonya'nın özrünü ve tazminatını kabul etmemekle tehdit etti. STK'NIN emrine meydan okuyanların 61'i hain olarak doğrulandı, isimleri ve adresleri gazetelerde fahişe olarak yayınlandı ve hayatlarının geri kalanını utanç içinde yaşamak zorunda kaldılar. Güney Kore hükümeti, 2015 yılında konfor kadınları konusunda Japonya-Kore anlaşması imzaladı ve Japon hükümeti, eski Kore konfor kadınlarına kefaret parası olarak 1 milyar dolar ödedi. Ancak, Kore'nin Moon Jae In yönetimi, 2018'teki anlaşmayı herhangi bir bildirimde bulunmadan terk etti . Dağılma duyurusu Japonya için tamamen kabul edilemez. Başkan Moon Jae-in de dahil olmak üzere ROK Hükümeti, kamuoyunda defalarca “anlaşmayı terk etmeyeceğini” ve “Japonya ile yeniden müzakere istemeyeceğini " belirtti”) - O sırada Japon hükümeti (1965) bireysel mağdurları tazmin etmeyi teklif etti, ancak Güney Kore hükümeti teklifi reddetti ve tüm parayı alması ve vatandaşlarını tazmin etmesi konusunda ısrar etti. Bu paranın çok azı (sadece 250 ABD doları) bireylere ödendi ve bunun yerine Güney Kore'nin ekonomik gelişimi için kullanıldı. Japon hükümeti (aslında savaştan önce ve hem de diğer ülkelerden gelen Japon fahişelerin büyük bir sayı söz konusu olan Kore ve Japonya'da hem de var olan lisanslı fuhuş sisteminin bir uzantısı olan) konfor kadınlar sistemi için özür diledi, Almanya özür dilemedi ya da herhangi bir eski fahişeler için herhangi bir tazminat ödedi. Aslında, hiç kimse böyle bir şey talep etmedi, çünkü işgal altındaki ülkelerde doğru ya da yanlış işbirlikçi olarak görülen bu kadınlar hiçbir zaman destekçi ya da savunucu bulamadılar” - Profesör Andrzej Kozlowski, Varşova Üniversitesi

Between the end of the Korean War and the early 1990s, more than one and half million SK women were caught up in a state-controlled pros**tution (comfort women) industry that was blessed at the highest levels by the U.S. military.

Un journal intime rédigé par un responsable de poste de confort coréen a été découvert en 2013, et il montre clairement que des hommes d'affaires coréens ne se contentaient pas de recruter des Coréennes, mais possédaient et exploitaient également des postes de confort. Le journal contient le compte-rendu détaillé des propriétaires coréens transférant les énormes profits qu'ils réalisaient en exploitant des stations de confort. Les opérateurs des stations de réconfort étaient des civils non militaires. Les rapports mensuels des consul généraux japonais locaux dans diverses villes chinoises identifient les exploitants de postes de réconfort avec des femmes de réconfort coréennes comme des Coréens. Aucune station de confort exploitée par le Japon n'a été signalée avec des femmes coréennes. Les postes de réconfort étaient des entreprises gérées par des civils. L'auteur du journal a lui-même gagné 43 000 yens en deux ans - une somme énorme si l'on considère que le salaire mensuel moyen d'un travailleur pendant cette période n'était que de 40 yens.

They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after KoreanCouncil put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Korean counil's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before U.N Special Rapporteur, li:ed on behalf of Korean council. They are sw:indlers" In an interview with Professor Park of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were all Korean, and that Korean women who testified before U.N Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Korean Council.

  1715. Numerous wartime documents define comfort women as prostitutes. ⚫︎Contemporary U.S. Military Sources One primary source is Report No. 49, U.S. Office of War Information, dated October 1, 1944. This is an interrogation report of 20 Korean comfort women in Burma. This report clearly states: A “comfort woman” is nothing more than a pros**tute or professional camp follower. ⚫︎Allied Translator Records and Captured Japanese Documents Another primary source is found in the ATIS (Allied Translator/Interpreter Section) Research Report No. 120. It says, “Amenities of the Japanese Armed Forces,” dated November 15, 1945. Among them are the following: From a captured Japanese document, “Rules for Restaurants and Houses of Pros**tution,” dated February 1943: MANILA: “Persons receiving permission to open business [comfort station] will…submit…copy of personal histories of employees….” “Permission is necessary before anyone joins the establishment.” SHANGHAI SECTOR: “The pros**tutes will possess licenses….” “Unlicensed pros**tutes are strictly prohibited from plying their trade.” “The pros**tute and the operator will share equally the proceeds of the work done by the pros**tute.” “Tacloban Brothel Regulations,” undated: “Places called brothels in these regulations are special brothels operated with Filipino women (licensed pros**tutes).”

  1717. korea should pay all the money back to Japan and apologize to the lies. “In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule. (The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth. Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO threatened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace. South Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women. However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the ROK, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”) - The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed pros**tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese pros**tutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former pros***utes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders” -Professor Andrzej Kozlowski, University of Warsaw
