Japanese MP Tsuyoshi Saito Says "Let's Stand Up for 911 Truth!"

On Dec 23, Christmas Eve's Eve, we got together at Minato no Mieru Oka Park in Yokohama, Kanagawa with Josef Princiotta Santa Clause and gave out the DVD "9/11: Blueprint for Truth" to people who came to the park.

At the opening of the event, Japanese MP Tsuyoshi Saito (Democratic Party, House of Representatives) from Kanagawa Prefecture gave a marvelous speech, saying "Let's Stand Up for 911 Truth!"

It is in Japanese at the moment, but we hope to provide an English subtitled version soon.

Josef Princiotta used to be a crime scene science investigator (for 35 years) and he sees the 911 incident as a crime and World Trade Center as a crime scene. His viewpoint can help to give us a more in-depth understanding of 911. It is worth listening to his presentation if you have not done so yet.

He will be speaking at Sala Shanti, Rokko, Kobe on Dec 27, 2009 from 18:30 till 21:00 or so. A donation of 1000 yen or more would be appreciated to pay for his traveling expenses.

Here is information in Japanese for your Japanese friends:

Thank you for supporting spreading the truth of 911 and to stop the war on terror.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

Josef Santa will Give the Gift of 911 Truth on Dec 23

Today, we had a remarkable day in Tokyo. Josef Princiotta and I went to Nagatacho, Tokyo to see Mr. Tsuyoshi Saito, a member of House of Representative from Kanagawa Prefecture.

We met him when Richard Gage gave a lecture to Diet (Parliament or Congress) members on 911 truth. The event was organized by Mr. Yukihisa Fujita, a member of House of Councilors. Mr. Saito stood up at the end of the lecture and promised he would support the 911 truth movement. Josef remembered this very well.

Then the idea came to us of giving away the Japanese version of the DVD 9/11:Blue Print for Truth as Christmas will be here soon. We decided to label the event 'Gift of 911 Truth' and we chose Minatono Mieru Oka Koen park in Yokohama as the venue.

Then some more inspiration came: Contact Mr. Saito for the event! So I sent him a press release. His secretary kindly arranged a meeting with us today.

We spent a full hour together during his busy schedule and by the end of the meeting he promised that he would come to the event on Dec 23.

What a wonderful commitment! Josef was in tears. After all our work our voices were finally heard and our long hard effort has produced some success.

Below is some info about the event:

Finally Media Coverage in Okinawa!!

Finally some news coverage about 911 Truth Conference!

It is hard to imagine but our 3rd 911 Conference tour has not had a mention in any of the major Japanese newspapers. Though newspapers published in Okinawa cannot really be considered 'major' in Japan, the following article appeared on December 12th.

This is written by Mr. Koichi Makishi, an architect living in Okinawa.

Here is a translation:

Lecture in Ginowan on the 13th
Chasing the Mysteries of 9/11 Tragedy

Due to the way the WTC twin towers in New York City fell straight down, as if they had been planned to be destroyed, I have had some doubts about the official US government story.

The night of September 12, 2001, I happened to put the TV on and saw a familiar building that I keep in my architecture portfolio, on fire. I turned the volume up thinking it was a movie like "The Towering Inferno" only to find out it was live.

I am still mystified to this day by the scene of the two buildings collapsing vertically straight down.

Not only that, but they say a commercial aircraft crashed into the Pentagon - the US Department of Defense, yet no aircraft wreckage could be seen at the scene.

Long after that day, I read a magazine and I came to learn about the 47 story Building 7 (at the World Trade Center Complex), which collapsed completely (on the same day as the twin towers), yet no plane had crashed into it.

As my career is in architectural design, it is a mystery to me why each of those three towers tumbled down vertically as they did.

There will be a film showing and lecture held with a peace activist Yumi Kikuchi and American architect Richard Gage who are both trying to resolve the mystery of the collapses.

It will be held from 2pm on 13th at the Okinawa Convention Center Theater in Ginowan City.

We welcome many to join us.

Entrance fee: 1,000 yen/advance purchase....

Richard Gage Making a HUGE difference on 911 Truth in Japan

Yesterday, at the Japanese Diet (Parliament) we had a great afternoon with Upper House Members at the Sangin Kaikan (House of Councilor's Office) in Tokyo. The event was hosted by Mr. Fujita, who, as you might already know, asked important questions in January 2008 concerning the events of Sept. 11, 2001.

Richard Gage's speaking tour in Japan so far has been a great success. Many of the attendees who were supporters of the official 911 story have changed their opinions completely, and now know that explosives were used to bring down the three buildings on Sept. 11th, 2001. Of course, not all were completely convinced. Some that were not completely convinced however did change their opinions to "unsure".

A number of architects and engineers have attended each of the events so far (Yokohama, Tokyo, Nagoya, Shiga), but none to my knowledge have yet signed the Architects and Engineers petition.

Dan Abercrombie, who introduced me to Richard, has been helping us with his wonderful bilingual skills by translating Richard's words to Japanese at each of the events. Even though he is not professional interpreter he is doing an amazing job.

Dan has written the report that follows of the tour so far.

Thanks, Dan!

Progress Report for the AE911Truth Japan Tour (by Dan Abercrombie)

We have finished the first half of the AE911Truth Japan Tour. In short, two words: HUGE SUCCESS!

This is the first time for group leader Richard Gage to speak in Asia, and the tour will allow us to reach several milestones in the continued pursuit of Truth.

We will make a detailed report at the end of the tour, but I am sure many of our colleagues and friends in the global 9/11 Truth Movement are eager for breaking news from Japan, so please see the quick summary of the events to date that follows.

Most importantly, we would like to acknowledge all of the enormous support that has come from the whole team in Japan to make this all possible. There are too many people (including large teams of local volunteers at each event) to mention individually, but two heroes deserve very special thanks.

Yumi Kikuchi used her connections and network of supporters to set up the entire tour, and did so with an amazing degree of professionalism and an ENORMOUS amount of work. Thanks to the efforts of her team, each event has come off flawlessly and all events have been very well attended.

Councilor Yukihisa Fujita of Japan’s ruling Democratic Party (DPJ) continues to be one of the most important world figures pushing for bringing the Truth to light. Mr. Fujita spoke at the 12/5 Tokyo event (below), and has arranged meetings with two prominent Japanese structural engineers from major universities and a meeting at the Japanese House of Councilors which was attended by eight of his colleagues from the Japanese legislature. We will make a separate report on these meetings in coming days. Words cannot express our appreciation for Mr. Fujita’s continuing courage and willingness to use his stature and credibility to support this cause which has huge implications for the entire world.

We also need to thank all of the people who time out of their busy schedules, bought tickets to attend and made generous contributions to the Truth Movement in many forms. People are life blood of the Movement and the enthusiastic support from our Japanese friends has been spectacular!

Below is a quick report on each of the events to date:

12/4 in Yokohama: Richard Pitches a Shutout!
The Yokohama event was expected to be smaller, but thanks to excellent promotion by Ms. Kikuchi et. al., over eighty people (including three architects/engineers) purchased tickets and attended the event held at the Kanagawa Museum of Modern Literature near Yokohama’s famed China Town. (Check out these pictures from the event)

Richard delivered a two-hour version of his well-known Blueprint for 9/11 Truth presentation. As Richard does at all speaking events, early on, he asked the audience how many believe the US Government’s “official story” for the three building collapses in New York, how many are unsure what happened to the buildings and finally how many believe that the collapses were a result of controlled demolition. Initially, about 15 indicated that they believe the official story, about 45 indicated “unsure” with the remaining attendees already believing that there must have been controlled demolitions of the three high-rises. Toward the end of the talk, Richard repeated the spot poll, and there were none who indicated that they still believed the official story, and less than ten who were still unsure. A shutout! Score one for Truth!

12/5 in Tokyo: Main Event a Great Success!
The Tokyo event, held at a large hall in the heart of Tokyo, was attended by over 300. The event was MC’d by the famous and colorful Japanese 80’s rocker, Sunplaza Nakano-Kun. He added a great deal of excitement to event and drew many people to the event by lending his famous name to the cause. (Check out these pictures from the event)

Councilor Fujita delivered a poignant message regarding the need for all people, be they government officials, architects/engineers or just citizens of the world, to work together to reveal Truth for the sake of World Peace. Yumi Kikuchi’s talk reviewed videos/books by many from the Truth Movement and reinforced the need to expose Truth for sake of Peace, while at the same time making a gripping point regarding the sickeningly ironic “backfiring” of the so-called “War on Terror” which creates more terrorists than it subdues and tragically kills and maims so many innocent lives around the world. Other speakers from the broader Truth Movement added to event by discussing issues/theories outside of scope of the work and research of Architects & Engineers to 9/11 Truth.

Richard’s talk was very well received. Even at this larger event, another shutout was pitched. Early in the lecture, about 45 hands went up indicating “belief in the official story” with a large number in the “unsure category”. Near the end, not one was still a firm believer in the official story with a dramatic number (the vast majority) were swayed by the explosive evidence, and were now convinced that there was extremely compelling proof of controlled demolition. Attendees included five architects/engineers as well as about ten journalists, including reporters from one of Japan’s largest newspapers. The event was followed by a reception and all who attended were given the chance to pick up the microphone and express their personal feelings, all very moving, about the 9/11 tragedies.

12/6 in Nagoya: Winning Streak Extended to Three!
Nagoya is Japan’s third largest city and, as home to Toyota, a hub of engineering excellence in Japan. Over 150 packed the conference hall and the audience included five architects/engineers. We were pretty sure that the shutout streak would continue. Of the four people who initially indicated that they were believers in the “official story”, none continued to hold that position at the end of the talk (in the interest of full disclosure, one would-be holdout started to raise his hand indicating he maintained “official story” belief, but then took it down and put himself in the “unsure” category). The final vote indicated about ninety previously unconvinced people now felt the evidence for controlled demolition of WTC high-rises is undeniable. One couple traveled all the way from Fukuoka (a seven hour train ride to hear Richard speak). This was only one example of the passion and support from the attendees. (Check out these pictures from the event)

12/7 at Ritsumeikan University
A different type of audience in an academic setting, Ritsumeikan University is one of Japan’s top private universities, and home to top academics from many disciplines.

Special thanks go out to Professor Fujioka of the school’s Economics Department who helped ensure a large turnout by making Richard’s lecture a class assignment (with a quiz for class credits!). Over 200 students, faculty and local residents were in attendance. This event was different from the others, not only because of the academic environment, but also because it was attended primarily people with no pre-determined position regarding the events of 9/11.

Other events tend to attract interested parties who already suspect that the WTC collapses must have been due to controlled demolition, but Ritsumeikan event included a large number of “official story” believers and an even larger number of “unsure” attendees. While not everyone was fully convinced, only five or six remained believers in the official story and those who came away newly convinced that there must have been controlled demolition were in the vast majority.

So, while not a shutout, this may have been the most meaningful event in delivering knowledge regarding the Truth of 9/11 and giving young people and their faculty the tools to help spread the word via “continuing education”. (Check out these pictures from the event)

Speaking events in Osaka (12/11), Kobe (12/12) and Okinawa (12/13) will round out the tour, and we will provide further updates in coming days.

In closing, we would like to thank all that attended and especially those who have worked so hard to make this such a successful chapter in the unfolding story of 9/11 Truth.

Huge Success, YES! 3rd 911 Truth International Conference in Tokyo

This Monday, I had sold only 120 tickets of the 500 available and prepared myself for a huge loss from this event. I was very anxious as the days moved towards Dec 5th, but 3rd 911 Truth International Conference in Tokyo turned out to be our best event ever. (You can see some English information by clicking here)

There was so much dedication and love from so many people it is beyond my words. At the end of the reception, Richard said, "This room is full of love and I do 911 truth for love. I have been to so many events and I have never experienced this much dedication and love in my life. Thank you!!"

I say the same words back to Richard Gage. Thank you!

AND THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SUPPORTED THIS EVENT IN YOUR MANY DIFFERENT WAYS FOR MAKING THIS A SUCCESS TOGETHER.

I know 911 truth is a tough topic to tackle, but people I have met on this journey are just amazing, they fill my heart all the time.

We had about 300 people, 30 volunteers, 10 guests and speakers. The opening address was by Mr. Yukihisa Fujita, a member of the Democratic Party in the Upper House.

The Keynote Speaker was our hero, Rechard Gage, AIA. He is the President of Architect and Engineers for 911 Truth. We then had a panel discussion with prominent journalist Mr. Muneo Narusawa of Weekly Friday. Other guests included Mr. Seiji Kikukawa, Benjamin Fulford, Josef Princiotta, and our biggest supporter Mr. Ganji Okada.

I am off to Nagoya now for Richard's next talk. The doors open at 2pm today at Fukiage Hall in Nagoya. If you don't yet have a ticket you can pay at the door.

Do not miss Richard Gage. He is the man who can change our basic ideas about 911.

Beyond Reasonable Doubt!

Richard Gage is an amazing man!

If you are still wondering whether you should come or not to 3rd 911 Truth International Conference(on Dec 5, 2009 @Zendentsu Hall, Ochanomizu, 10am to 6pm), I highly recommend you do. You only need to hear Richard Gage once to understand how the 3 buildings of WTC came down on Sep 11, 2001.

(Also, at the Saturday event we are giving a way a limited number of copies of your newly produced Japanese version of his DVD '911 Blueprint for Truth' to attendees!)

I was so happy to hear him talk tonight at the opening event for his speaking tour of Japan. His message mirrors mine... Unless we understand what happened on September 11th, 2001, we are destined to experience more such unthinkable acts of inhumanity!

The words that stick in my mind from his lecture, the words that matter, the words that for a long time I could not say with certainty, I can now say without hesitation!

BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT!

The evidence he presented this evening proved beyond reasonable doubt to me and every single person in the audience, that the official story the government told us was a lie.

Terrorists from caves in Afghanistan with box cutters could never have pulled off the high tech demolition of not two, but three steel sky scrapers on that fateful day.

I urge you to join me tomorrow or at the other venues across japan so you can hear from Richard Gage directly how the 'Crime of the Century' was pulled off, right in front of our ever so innocent eyes!

Here are some pics from this evening:

Beyond Reasonable Doubt : 911 Was An Inside Job

☀ Richard Gage Arrives Safely In Japan! ☀ 09 min 59 sec

Richard Gage has arrived in Japan after his very successful Hard Evidence Down Under Tour in Australia and New Zealand.

On the way from the airport to our home, we stopped off for dinner at a Japanese noodle restaurant and I was able to interview him for a video podcast. Check it out!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAn2-Yc310k

Things have been extremely busy for me with organizing his seven stop tour in Japan as well as the preparation of all the conference material, including a 24 page pamphlet that has never before published Japanese translations of some important scientific studies that will help validate Mr. Gage's presentation. We have also prepared a Japanese version of his DVD, 911, Blueprint for Truth, for conference participants. It will be available for purchase from Jan 19th, 2010.

If we want a world that is safe for all children, where they can live in harmony and happiness, then we are going to have to look carefully at what we have done in the past and what we are doing right now.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfR2JudJ8s8

Should we find that the reasons for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were based on falsified events that were purposely created and designed to bring about global economic, financial and military control for the benefit of the few, then we are going to have to make some major changes to our political and military systems. We are going to have to take back our power from those that have caused far too much pain and distress to far too many innocent people for far too long!

Listen to Richard Gage, learn the truth!

Let's take back our power! Let's make the world a better place!

Richard Gage arriving for 3rd International 911 Truth Conference

It's December first already. Tomorrow, Richard Gage is arriving in Japan. Mr. Gage has finished a speaking tour in Australia and New Zealand.

In Wellington he had his biggest audience ever, some estimate it to have been close to 1,000! He also was able to meet the son of the architect who designed the Sydney Opera House, Jan Utzon. Mr. Utzon is an architect himself and has signed The Architects And Engineers For 911 Truth petition. Click here to read the story that appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald and to see Mr. Gage interviewing Mr. Utzon.

I have had calls and e-mails from foreigners living in Japan and they say their Japanese is not good enough to understand how to buy tickets for the 3rd International 911 Truth Conference on Dec 5th. So here is the procedure you need to follow to buy tickets from any Lawson Convenience Store in Japan.

Go to any Lawson store and ask the staff to show you the LOPPI (the name of the machine that sells concert/event tickets etc).

Press button that says Lコード（L code) and type in this 5 digit number:

31911

for Tokyo. You have to choose Tokyo, Dec 5 (5000 yen for adults, 2500 yen for students).

For Yokohama, choose Yokohama, Dec 4.

Dates are written in arabic numbers so you can tell which one is Tokyo or Yokohama.

If you can not manage to use the LOPPI machine you can also do a Post Office money transfer. If you want to do that, you can then go to the Post Office and use the "Yubin Furikae" system for transferring the money. Once the money is received I will send you the tickets, or if you like, you can pick them up at on the day at the door. Just bring receipt of money transfer (yubin furikae) from the Post Office and some ID with you.

Here are the details you will need to write on the Yubin Furikae form: 00110-1-144224 Harmonics Life Center. You must also fill in your name, address, and phone on the form.

If this is too complicated, just call me on 04-7097-1011 from 10am-2pm today!

The main event will be held at Zendentsu Hall in Ochanomizu. Click here to se an English map.

Please Sign the Petition to Stop dangerous MOX Nuclear Power Generation in Japan

I do not support nuclear power generation in general as it creates radiation, which is hazardous for all life on Earth: especially the young, as they are more affected. MOX nuclear power plants are even more dangerous than regular nuclear power plants as they use Plutonium mixed with Uranium 235 as a fuel.

Recently nuclear power has been advertised to be a "Clean Energy" as it doesn't directly 'create' CO2. But it creates a lot of heat that is discarded to the ocean (2/3 of energy created by nuclear power plant are discarded to the ocean).

We must all use less energy (live more simply so that others can simply live!) and support natural and renewable energy sources such as solar, bio-mas, geothermal, small hydro and wind(small scale), and so on.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
[URGENT PETITION]

STOP Plutonium (MOX) Nuclear Power Generation in Japan!
(See: http://greenvoice.com/campaigns/360-urgent-stop-pluthermal-nuclear-power-generation-in-japan)

We are collecting endorsements for our petition to stop Japan's first MOX (mixed plutonium uranium oxide) fuel power generation at Japanese commercial nuclear power plants that will start operation on Dec. 2. This first plant is called "Genkai". Please write your name or your group and the country you are working in. The deadline for submission is November 25th.

Over 460,000 signatures have been collected in Japan in order to stop to Genkai's Pluthermal program. Even though we have so many people opposing the plant, the government is still going ahead with its plan.

SO WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Cf. "Pluthermal" is a Japanese word, which combines plu of "plutonium" and "thermal" and means MOX (mixed plutonium uranium oxide), the fuel use in this type of thermal reactor.

Click on the link above and follow the instructions to sign the petition.

⁑⁑⁑⁑⁑⁑⁑⁑⁑⁑⁑

STATEMENT:
We strongly demand a stop to Pluthermal (MOX fuel) nuclear generation at Genkai until the following problems are solved:

1. The danger of the Pluthermal Project.
2. There are serious concerns that a large percentage of the MOX fuel being used at Genkai is defective.
3. There are no legal grounds for the government's criteria for MOX fuel assembly inspection.
4. There is no plan to deal with spent MOX fuel.
5. The Pluthermal program is moving forward even though Japan's nuclear fuel cycle has failed.

The petition will be sent to:
Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama
Secretary-General of the Democratic Party Mr. Ichiro Ozawa
Minister of State for National Policy Mr. Naoto Kan
Minister of State for Government Revitalization Mr. Yoshito Sengoku
The Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Mr. Masayuki Naoshima
Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Mr. Tatsuo Kawabata
The Minister of Environment Mr. Sakihito Ozawa
The Governor of Saga prefecture Mr. Yasushi Furukawa
The Mayor of Genkai town Mr. Hideo Kishimoto
Kyushu Electric Power CO. INC., President Mr. Toshio Manabe

4th Global Alliance Summit for Ministries and Departments of Peace Communique

I am writing this on an airplane heading to Los Angeles from Costa Rica. We had our most successful Global Alliance summit ever and "We made a history today" as Dot Maver of the Peace Academy, USA said.

I am more than grateful to Rita Marie of the Rasur Foundation and all her amazing volunteer team and the Global Alliance summit members who made it all possible. My heart is filled with love and gratitude as I write this and the energy of love and gratitude will go a long way in helping me in my work to form a Ministry of Peace for Japan.

4th Global Alliance Summit for Ministries and Departments of Peace
San Jose, Costa Rica, Sept. 17-21, 2009

The 4th Global Alliance (GA) Summit was a resounding success with 200 participants attending from more than 40 countries, enhanced by a live streaming video link to the world. The Summit was inspired by Costa Rica's declaration, earlier this month, of a Minister of Justice and Peace, making it the third country in the world to have such a Ministry. The President of Costa Rica, Dr. Oscar Arias, addressed the opening of the Summit, and told us that:

“The task is only just starting; the creation of a Ministry for Peace…is not the final achievement, merely the making of a road to achieve sustainable order that would allow resolution of human conflicts without violence.”

The mission of the GA is to support the establishment of Ministries and Departments of Peace in all nations. The Summit, in order to prepare itself to work with governments to build national infrastructures for peace, heard from experts in the fields of : Unarmed Civilian Peace Services and Youth Engagement in Peacebuilding; Academies for Peace, Restorative Justice Practices; Peace Economics; Innovation in the Use of Media; Nuclear and General Disarmament; Civil Society and Government Cooperation; and, Networking with the UN and Business.

The GA also established strategic direction and an action plan for its next phase and formed a dynamic Leadership Council, with membership from 6 continents, to carry its mission forward, partner with other international sister organizations and plan its next Summit.

Rita Marie Johnson of the Rasur Foundation in Costa Rica, Summit convener, summed up the achievement of the Summit, stating, “The GA members embodied peace as they took a quantum leap toward national peace infrastructures by presenting a detailed picture of hope for the world. We know what to do and we will do it – together in the name of peace.”

The Summit concluded with a determination to witness the formation of at least 2 more Ministries or Departments of Peace by the time of the next Summit to be held in 2011.

I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with our 44th President of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama, while he was out promoting his health care reform initiative. I requested 30 minutes given the scope and detail of my inquiry; they said I could have 20. Twenty minutes, 1200 seconds, not a lot of time to question the President about one of the most important events in our nation’s history. The following is a transcript of our remarkable discussion.

You can read the rest on the Prison Planet website.

Check him out on YouTube:

Today, I am having an event with Yu Tanaka, one of the most famous and popular environmental lecturers and speakers in Japan. He is rare person here in Japan who also supports the 911 truth movement. He understood the attacks on September 11 were a hoax after seeing the films 911 Plane Site and Loose Change. People like him who talk about 911 truth publicly is still rare in Japan.

Date & Time: Sep 11, 2009 6:30 open, 7:00pm starts 9:00pm ends
Place: LOFT PLUS ONE in Shinjuku, Kabukicho
Charge: 2500yen

I will be the first person speaking so do not be late if you are coming...

♪ International Conference against the Asia Pacific Missile Defense and for the End of the Arms Race ♪ - 21 min 30 sec - 5 MB

I had the privilege to translate and interpret for the Japanese delegates who participated in an International Conference against the Asia Pacific Missile Defense and for the End of the Arms Race held in Seoul, Korea. It was three full days of conferences and visits to military sites. I have learned A LOT. Seeing is believing.

The Asia Pacific Missile Defense budget is now eating up most of the money of the local defense programs. North Korea's satellite launch was used as a way to stifle our voices of concern but we have not been stopped.

I am learning many new things from Bruce Gagnnon who is the head of the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space. He once was a US soldier in the Air Force during the Vietnam war. The anti-war peace movement during that time had a big effect on him while he was inside the base. He heard the voices of the demonstrators outside of the base and began to change. His story of transformation is both beautiful and inspirational.

Listen to what he has to say in today's podcast.

Two New Groups for 911 Truth Launched

I have been busy writing and translating a chapter for the new book written by  Mr. Yukihisa Fujita, who questioned the official US government's version of what happened on Sept. 11th, 2001 in NY at Japan's  Diet (the equivalent of the US Senate) last year in January.  Since then, there have been many new groups that have launched websites that question the official 911 story. Recently two new groups were launched that I feel the public needs to be made aware of.

One was initiated by a group of politicians, including Mr. Fujita, called Political Leaders for 911 Truth. Check out their website:
http://pl911truth.com

Another was started by religious leaders including Dr. David Ray Griffin, and is called Religious Leaders for 911 Truth.  Their website URL is:
http://rl911truth.org

There are so many groups now in the world working for 911 truth and I really hope that President Obama will make an initiative to launch a new completely independent commission to investigate what really happened on Sept. 11th, 2001. The War on Terror still continues today. Innocent people are still getting killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, and all the family victims of 911 and the War on Terror should know the truth.

The book by Mr. Fujita is titled 'Questioning 9.11 Truth at Japan's Diet - Can Obama Really Change the US? It is published by Clubhouse and is available in Japan for 1500yen. ISBN978-4-906496-43-3. The Japanese title is: 「9.11テロ疑惑国会追及ーーオバマ米国は変われるか」

It should be at bookstores in late March and there will be a publishing party held on April 8th, which I intend to attend.

There will be another event on this topic at which Mr. Fujita will speak on April 24 at Naked Loft in Tokyo. The charge will be 1000 yen at the door.

♪ Anastasia Inspires A New Way Of Life ♪ - 30 min 31 sec - 7.1 MB

I met Dr. Leonid Sharashkin on Feb 11th and 12th, 2009 during his first speaking tour in Japan. I happened to be giving a talk in Okayama on Feb 11th when he was giving a talk in Kagawa. As the cities are only an hour away from each other across the Setonaikai sea, I decided to go and meet him.

He is an amazing young man. You can watch a 40 minute interview he did with the Conscious Media Network here:

I am very happy I went to see him and also met with an amazing Japanese women who organized the tour and events for this marvelous man. The Book Anastasia and the Ringing Cedars series are bestsellers and I hope to be able to help with the publishing of the Japanese version soon.

Who Wants Peace In The Middle East?

If you missed seeing this story that was recently broadcast on 60 Minutes in the US, I highly recommend you take the time to watch the YouTube movie below.

I believe that CBS broadcasting of this kind of program that openly discloses the Jew's settlements would have been impossible under Bush's regime. I wonder how many Americans have actually seen this?

It is important for us all to understand the root cause of Israel-Palestinian conflict!

http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=KG6sAjgVoj4

Here are some excerpts from the program:

(CBS) Getting a peace deal in the Middle East is such a priority to President Obama that his first foreign calls on his first day in office were to Arab and Israeli leaders. And on day two, the president made former Senator George Mitchell his special envoy for Middle East peace. Mr. Obama wants to shore up the ceasefire in Gaza, but a lasting peace really depends on the West Bank where Palestinians had hoped to create their state. The problem is, even before Israel invaded Gaza, a growing number of Israelis and Palestinians had concluded that peace between them was no longer possible, that history had passed it by. For peace to have a chance, Israel would have to withdraw from the West Bank, which would then become the Palestinian state.

It's known as the "two-state" solution. But, while negotiations have been going on for 15 years, hundreds of thousands of Jewish settlers have moved in to occupy the West Bank. Palestinians say they can't have a state with Israeli settlers all over it, which the settlers say is precisely the idea...

"While my heart still wants to believe that the two-state solution is possible, my brain keeps telling me the opposite because of what I see in terms of the building of settlements. So, these settlers are destroying the potential peace for both people that would have been created if we had a two-state solution," Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, once a former candidate for Palestinian president, told Simon...

Daniella Weiss moved from Israel to the West Bank 33 years ago. She has been the mayor of a large settlement.

"I think that settlements prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state in the land of Israel. This is the goal. And this is the reality," Weiss told 60 Minutes correspondent Bob Simon...

"Israel DEFENDING itself" Really?

Click here to view a live web camera from Gaza.

The media says "Israel is DEFENDING itself"
Let's see if that is so... Have a look a the images on this page (the images of the missiles that have landed in Israel can be seen below the images of Gaza so scroll down!):
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/shamireaders/message/1233

Israel is even making an effort to control the Arabic media:
http://sabbah.biz/mt/archives/2008/12/31/hussam-ayloush-dead-palestinian-children-have-names-too/

Fortunately we can see what is really happening if we look carefully:

http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=K5wrwZlwAq8

I will post more footage in my Japanese blog. Please visit and spread to your western friends. Let's become the media ourselves when the mainstream media is not telling what is happening accurately. You MUST have a look at the page and watch the live news report from the excellent Iranian news service PressTV:
http://sabbah.biz/mt/archives/2008/12/31/hussam-ayloush-dead-palestinian-children-have-names-too/

"Hamas must stop attacking Israel to attain peace." Most political leaders and the US media voice this message. On the surface this seems to be right. However check out this movie and you will see why Hamas is doing what it is doing:

Peace, Propaganda and the Promised Land: Media & the Israel-Palestine Conflict

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6604775898578139565

Violence and terrorism must stop, I agree, but the occupation by Israel also must stop. They have been making the life of the Palestinians impossible for a long, long time (60 years to be exact) and now they are killing them indiscriminately. Not long ago they built a wall to keep them apart from Israel and to make it impossible for them to escape anywhere.

http://www.youtube.com/v/-rCBJjCiLGc&hl=en&fs=1

The weapons used to kill the Palestinians are from the military aid provided by the USA (Read this story to learn more!). Part of the money comes from ordinary Japanese people's personal savings by way of Japanese Banks. Japanese people buy Japanese short-term government bonds. The Bank of Japan uses their money to sell yen and buy US dollars. The Bank of Japan than buys US Treasury Bonds, and part of that money goes to military spending and overseas aid.

http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy-60zSKiGE

One third of US overseas aid goes to Israel, which is one of the richest countries in the world. And more than half of US aid to Israel is military aid (3.5 billion USD in 2002, plus Israel receives free weapons from the US).

Americans and Japanese, do you see there is a direct relationship to you with what is happening in Gaza?

What would you do if you were a mother or a father living in Gaza right now?
