  1. Pearl Harbor: Cutting life lines like oil is an act of war. The ABCD Encirclement together with the Hull Note can also be regarded as an act of war by the International Law. Because of the oil embargo by US, Japan’s oil was runining out in January 1942. Then any country could have invaded Japan without too much effort. The Pearl Harbor attack was two months before that. After the War, when everything became clear, Douglas MacArthur testified at the US Senate Committee on Armed Services which is the highest rank committee in which US military officers can testify, that Japan fought for its security (not for invasion), while Charles Willoughby, a major general in the U.S. Army, said that any country would go to a war like Japan did if they were treated the same way. Hamilton Fish III, the Republican Leader at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack wrote after the WWII that nobody in the Congress knew such a provocative note (Hull Note) was delivered to Japan. Even though he was a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, he was not informed. Because of the Note, Japan was left with no choice but to fight back or starve to death. The former President Hoover told MacArthur that Pearl Harbor was a mad man’s (FDR) plot to get a way in to the War to help Britain. FDR's contemptuous refusal of the Japanese Prime Minister's peace proposal in September were the crucial precursors to Pearl Harbor. If the US did not provoke Japan, they would not have attacked us. Also, there was no definition of aggression then and even now in the International Law. Plus, in the Pact of Paris, all countries were assured of self-interpretation rights. Kellogg and Briand send a letter to Japan confirming this, and this letter still exists. “Freedom Betrayed” by George Nash “Tragic Deception” by Hamilton Fish III “Stalin’s Secret Agents: The Subversion of Roosevelt’s Government” by M.

  2. Asia: Japan fought against the whites who were enslaving Asia for hundreds of years, not against the natives. What do you think the whites were doing in Asia? Charity? There were only about 60 countries in the world at the time, of which only 10 non-white countries were not yet colonized by the whites. And the figure was decreasing. Japan was the last country in Asia remaining totally independent, and within several years of the War all the countries were freed. Who do you think formed and trained their armies in Asian countries, which fought against the West when they came back to recolonize after the WWII? You think the Asians were holding US guns or Japanese guns? Or, do they grow on trees? For example, today, some 3,000 Japanese lay buried with orders in Kalibata Heroes Cemetery in Jakarta, Indonesia. Everybody in Indonesia including those in the first subsequent independent Government and Army like the first President Sukarno, Bun Tomo, Aramasa, Sanpas, Hatta, etc. were holding Japanese guns and fighting with the Japanese.

  3. China: It is the Han Chinese that attacked Japan first. Japan first got that part of Manchuria from Russia, not from China. The Han Chinese had never ruled Manchuria in their history. Never. Also they hate the Hans. When Qing fell, ROC asked Manchuria, Inner Mongol, Uighur, and Tibet to join. But they all refused. In case you did not know, even though they boast about their five thousand year history, China was first united only less than three thousand years ago, and it was not by the Han Chinese. Since then, China was united for two of the three thousand years, and the Han Chinese only ruled for a total of six hundred years during the Former Han, the Latter Han and Ming. Other dynasties were established by other races, so Manchuria, Mongol, Uighur and Tibet were never ruled by the Han Chinese. Before the 20th century, China was the name of the land, not of a country: there were just different dynasties or country of different races occupying the land called “China." Even though you may think Panda are Chinese, they were always Tibetan's and never belonged to the Han Chinese in history. The Whites are brainwashed and fooled by the Han Chinese.

  4. Nanking Massacre: All the evidences for the Nanking Massacre were fabricated by the Kuomintang’s Publicity Section for raising funds in US; used after the War by GHQ and US for Tokyo Trial and WGIP to record Japan as the aggressor and to lessen the guilt for the dropping of atomic bombs; and today exploited in CCP’s propaganda as a weapon to break up the ties among US, Japan, Taiwan and other US allies for their military expansion into the Pacific and Indian Ocean. China is spending 10 billion dollars for these issues in UN, US, Japan and other US allies annually since the modern history is a source of government legitimacy, territorial rights, national security, military advantage, economical profits. If you are confident, show your primary source evidence that convinced you that this fabrication is in fact a true story. So far all I saw from the people like yourself are: photos of so-called "Japanese soldiers" wearing look alike outfits made in China, which were fabricated by the Publicity Section of Kuomintang to raise funds in US through Chang-kai Shek's wife, Mei-soon Lin; hearsay from Kuomintang like the diary of Rabe who admitted that he did not see any civilian massacre, and thus did not testify at Tokyo Trial nor his diary was used in it; news articles distributed to the world mainly through an Australian journalist, Harold John Timperley, who was revealed by Kuomintang's documents in Taiwan in 2015 to be one of their five chief agents, and was responsible as the head of the London Brunch of Kuomintang’s Publicity Section regularly receiving money. The head of the International Publicity Section of Kuomintang, Zeng Xubai, later admitted in his autobiography that they paid Tmeperley and Smythe to write books on Nanking Massacre to propagate overseas and these books achieved their goals. Also, all the confessions from Japanese veterans, which were presented by CCP and registered in UNESCO as evidences for the massacre in China, were made by members of a communist group called Chukiren. All of them, without an exception. They were brainwashed by CCP during their captivities. The CCP's objective was to use them as activists in order to emotionally separate Japanese citizens from the government by brainwashing the Japanese how bad Japan behaved during the War, for a later communist revolution in Japan that the CCP was planning. GHQ cooperated with this CCP's plan through the Japan’s Communist Party for their War Guilt Information Program, and the document for the operation was declassified in 2014 by The National Archives United Kingdom, TNA, in England under the name, Norman File KV2/3261, after a Canadian diplomat in charge, Egerton Herbert Norman, who committed suicide when he was suspected as a communist spy. Before the Japanese Army marched into Nanking, the International Committee for Nanking Safety Zone, for which Rabe was the leader, notified them where the Safety Zone was, and subsequently sent a latter of appreciation to the Army for not bombing it. The population of the city as counted by the Committee before the Japanese entry was about 200,000, much less than the CCP’s claim for a massacre of 300,000, and the number increased to about 250,000 in the following months because the Chinese civilians who escaped to outside of the city returned once they found that it was safe. It was the CCP and Kuomintang who were killing the civilians, and they were the ones that civilians were scared of. That is why tens of western media journalists who were in Nanking or along the way to the city at the time never reported any civilian massacre by the Japanese Army.
