NATO's warmongering medical establishment has blamed an innocent subtropical rat for a lethal hantavirus outbreak that wrecked a secret operation to infect Russians in the Ukraine war zone.

Contends that a deadly hantavirus outbreak aboard the Rothschild-linked Antarctic cruise ship MV Hondius - officially blamed on an Andes rat - actually exposes a covert NATO bioweapons lab in Antarctica tied to anti-Russia operations in Ukraine. Names British and Australian polar bases as prime suspects and argues the passenger death toll was downplayed in an official cover-up coordinated with the WHO.

Amid prayers for the Easter celebration, a time to ponder the miracle of resurrection and spiritual contemplation, Pope Leo XIV from his seat at the Vatican has recently spoken about the mission of peace on Earth, a papal message to focus the urgency of ending brutal warfare and continuing wrongs committed by so-called civilized societies.

Frames Pope Leo XIV's Easter call for peace as a moral rebuke to US involvement in an Israel-Iran war. Argues that President Trump's strikes on Iran serve Israeli rather than American interests, compares the venture to Vietnam, and urges Israeli Jews to leave the country before a wider war.

The attempt by Israeli state to militarily preempt Iran with the full support of U.S. President Donald Trump (whose father was Jewish) is an appalling farce that has backfired with probable damage to its main nuclear reactor at Dimona.

Argues that Israel's preemptive strike on Iran backfired and damaged its own Dimona reactor, and calls for Christians and Muslims to jointly reclaim the Holy Land as a shared site for the three Abrahamic faiths. Invokes the medieval Crusades as a model.

The White House decision to rush to Israel's aid against Iran - the boldest defender of Palestinian rights against Netanyahu's fascistic extermination campaign - is backfiring as a consequence of U.S. airstrikes against a slew of targets, some connected with the Revolutionary Guards and others quite obscure, especially given the official blackout of credible news reporting.

Contends that Trump's airstrikes on Iran in support of Netanyahu amount to an illegal, anti-Christian war waged on Israel's behalf, and calls for Trump's removal, branding him a war criminal. Includes the author's recollections of reporting the Gulf War and closes by calling for a new Crusade.

Kevin Tournes and his family raise top-quality beef cattle grazing on orchard grass along the western bank of the Ohio River, across from the shore of West Virginia - at an environmentally safe distance south of industrial Youngstown and a long ways east of Cincinnati.

Part 1 of the 'Beef Wars' series, co-written with Ohio cattle rancher Kevin Tournes, attacks the foreign-owned 'Big Four' meatpackers - especially Brazil's JBS and Marfrig - for monopolizing the US beef supply, eliminating country-of-origin labeling through WTO rules, and endangering consumers. Cites Trump's November 2025 call for a DOJ antitrust investigation and defends family ranching.

Recent and as-yet inexplicable events - most puzzling being a Chinese high-court case against Brazilian beef exports - is indicative of the Amazon basin cattle industry's heinous abuses that triggered the worldwide COVID (coronavirus) contagion.

Part 2 of the 'Beef Wars' series argues COVID did not originate from a Chinese bat but from Brazil's Amazon cattle industry, where deforestation released 50-plus coronavirus strains that tainted beef served to athletes at the 2019 Wuhan World Military Games, seeding the pandemic worldwide while the UN and WHO scapegoated Wuhan to protect the global meat trade. Closes with an extended memoir of Shimatsu's agricultural-advisory work across China's Gobi Desert and Tibetan highlands.

The proverbial chickens are coming home to roost, as the disastrous dirty losing war in Afghanistan spills over onto Washington D.C., amid this nation's urgent program of deporting foreign-born criminals and questionable illegals - excluding the CIA murderous Afghan hit-men.

Argues the fatal shooting of National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom near the White House was carried out by a CIA-trained Afghan 'Zero Force' assassin - one of thousands resettled in the US after the 2021 Kabul withdrawal - and that the real target was President Trump. Calls for dismantling the CIA, drawing on Shimatsu's own reporting from the Afghan-Pakistan border before and after 9/11.

This season's "Wizard of Oz" rip-off titled "Wicked: For Good" is a tired Asian version of the foibles and follies of filthy rich pretenders - produced by John M. Chu, whose earlier hit "Crazy Rich Asians" made a worldwide laughing stock of the upper middle-class aspirations of eager social climbers infesting the contemporary western world.

A scathing review of the film 'Wicked: For Good,' which Shimatsu pans as a feminist, animal-rights 'cop-out' and a tired Asian-tinged rehash of The Wizard of Oz by 'Crazy Rich Asians' director John Chu. Digresses into Judy Garland's mistreatment, the occult and Theosophist roots of L. Frank Baum's Oz series, and argues Hollywood's sympathy for witches signals a cultural drift away from Christian values.

The American tradition of "Equal Opportunity for All" has intriguing implications in the rare (mercenary) demand of the Eppie girls' to not only discredit their deceased employer Jeffrey Epstein but also expose the names of former paying customers of two decades ago.

Dismisses Jeffrey Epstein's accusers as willing participants making belated, mercenary complaints, drawing an analogy to Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. Argues the real unsolved crime is Epstein's death and frames the renewed scandal as a Democratic political diversion.

The 43-day federal government shutdown posted an unrecoverable loss of $11 billion to the nation's economy - and also a 42 million loss in federal food aid to recipients of SNAP and WIK, both Democrat "holy cows" aimed at gaining the votes of deadbeats.

Likens US food-aid programs (SNAP and WIC) to ancient Rome's 'bread and circuses,' arguing they foster dependency and fraud and are exploited by immigrants and criminal networks the author ties to the Democratic Party and drug cartels. Warns of civilizational decline, citing Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

Before proceeding into the gangster haven of Chicago from the Prohibition era gang boss Al Capone to today's dope-dealing filth out of Venezuela and the Mexican Sinaloa cartel under the protection of their political patrons, I hope you'll bear with my recollection of an encounter in Japan with actor Robert Stack, the star of the 1950s TV series "The Untouchables".

Profiles the Pritzker dynasty as a 'crime family' descended from a Chicago defense lawyer for Al Capone's Outfit, tracing the line to Penny Pritzker (Obama's early patron and commerce secretary) and Gov. J.B. Pritzker, whom Shimatsu accuses of shielding Venezuelan Tren de Aragua and Mexican Sinaloa cartels from Trump's ICE crackdown. Framed around a boyhood memory of meeting 'Untouchables' star Robert Stack.

24 years after the destruction of the iconic World Trade Center by hijacked aircraft strikes followed by serial explosions from top down, the shocking event has gradually faded from the American memory.

A memoir of the author's 1980s job delivering a business magazine inside the World Trade Center, combined with his argument that the towers were destroyed by a pre-planted controlled demolition. Attributes the plot to the building's owner and intelligence agencies and frames 9/11 as a pretext for the Afghan war.

The Black female economist impresses the American public by her XL figure as an over-eater who has swollen to gargantuan body proportions during her short tenure since May 2022 at the Federal Reserve.

Argues that Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook committed mortgage fraud based on her financial-disclosure filings and should be prosecuted. Compares her to the founders of Black Lives Matter and calls for an end to what the author terms the 'Obama legacy' of appointees.

Late-comer podcasters have been raising accusations implying the Jeffrey Epstein case has not been adequately exposed in the media circuit.

Responds to renewed attention on the Epstein case, arguing that independent reporters - including the author - had exposed Epstein and his business partner Les Wexner years earlier. Links Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to British intelligence (MI-6) and the Rothschild family, defends Trump as uninvolved, and praises Melania Trump.

The mainstream news channels have a knack for spreading confusion and fear while evading the root causes of unanticipated disasters and "inexplicable" tragedies - as is happening in the wake of the Fourth of July killer flood through the Kerrville region of west Texas.

Argues the deadly July 4, 2025 Guadalupe River flood near Kerrville, Texas resulted not from climate change but from the long decline of sheep grazing on the Edwards Plateau, which the author says degraded the soil and worsened runoff. Calls for ecological restoration and briefly raises the possibility of weather manipulation.

Zohran Mamdani is the "Muslim Candidate" aiming to be voted Mayor of New York City and a spoiled child of the Brit-Yank intelligence agencies, who at this moment is the media-touted leading candidate in the New York City mayoral race after defeating fellow Democrat Mario Cuomo in the primary.

Argues that New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is a 'fake Muslim' and an intelligence asset (CIA/MI-6) groomed by his academic father, recounting the family's history in Uganda and India. Disputes Mamdani's stated background and favors rival candidate Eric Adams.

All's well that ends well - or at least results in a truce with much less Israeli hubris toward the captive women and children of Palestine.

Shimatsu argues that the June 2025 U.S. B-2 bombing of Iran's Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites failed to destroy any nuclear stockpile, citing the absence of radioactive emissions as proof the materials had been removed beforehand. He claims Iranian and Chinese scientists used radioactivity-suppressing minerals and sand-and-water barriers learned from China's 2008 Sichuan earthquake, and recounts an autobiographical story of having advised Chinese officials on suppressing radioactive fallout to save the 2008 Beijing Olympics. He contends the failed raid actually spared Trump from wider war and a war-crimes prosecution.

6-23-25 · By Yoichi ShimatsuIsrael, Zionism & the Middle East

To paraphrase Teddy Roosevelt's dictum to carry a big stick, Donald Trump showed off more than he should have by dropping humongous GBU-57 mega-bombs on Iran's Fordow underground nuclear lab and Natanz, another nuke site to the south.

Shimatsu likens the June 2025 'Operation Midnight Hammer' bombing of Iran's Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities to Jimmy Carter's failed Iran hostage rescue, arguing the GBU-57 mega-bombs failed because Iran had already removed its nuclear materials. He claims the absence of detectable radioactivity proves the strike was a dud and contends the sites were protected by engineered layers of sand, gravel and water that neutralized the bombs. He blames Netanyahu for luring Trump into the raid and predicts Iranian retaliation and possible war-reparations claims against the U.S.

The single rule affecting the dinner tables at my college fraternity was the self-regulated ban on discussing politics or religion, which is an informal American custom to prevent angry rebuttals, walk-outs or fist fights in close proximity to carving knives next to the pot roast.

Shimatsu argues that Trump's suggestion of U.S. military intervention alongside Israel against Iran raises the question of whether Trump is a Christian or, as he puts it, a 'stooge of Zionist Jewry.' The piece attacks Netanyahu and Israel in heavily antisemitic terms, recounts the 1946 King David Hotel bombing, and contends Iranians and Jews share historical ties. He calls for decision-making on the conflict to be transferred to Vice President J.D. Vance and urges Trump toward Christian repentance.

News of the death of Brian Wilson, the lyricist-composer of The Beach Boys' classic songs of America's youth culture, imprinted dreams of an endless summer for those who experienced the height of American glory - briefly - before the soon-arriving decades of hopeless foreign wars.

Marking the June 2025 death of Beach Boys songwriter Brian Wilson, Shimatsu offers a personal memoir rather than a conventional tribute, recalling his own mid-1960s surfing days at Santa Monica after returning from Japan before entering Purdue University. He argues the band idealized a California surf culture that did not match reality, and frames their music as emblematic of a brief American innocence that ended with the Vietnam War. He laments the songs that go unremembered, such as 'Surfer Girl' and 'Surfin' Safari.'

Donald Trump is a hard-driving business mogul known to 'bite off more than he can chew' - which sometimes results in choking on a bone as happened during his infamous brawl with the Jersey mob during chaotic construction of his Atlantic City casino.

Shimatsu contends that Trump's May 2025 White House event promoting small modular 'mini-nuclear' reactors to power AI data centers endorses what he calls an investment scam that previously burned figures like Gates, Buffett and Sam Altman. Drawing on his Fukushima reporting, he argues such reactors are unsafe and cost-ineffective (citing roughly $4,700 vs $1,800 per kilowatt), warns of radioactive waste being trucked to New Mexico, and claims a mini-reactor meltdown caused the closure of the Vatican Observatory on Arizona's Mount Graham around 2000.

The self-inflicted demise of Walmart's supply chain in China has at last arrived as Trump's import tariffs start to bite into profit margins and annihilate the superstore's long-standing scam to evade U.S. taxes by concentrating nearly all its product orders in a ruthless strategy to exploit rock-bottom cheap Chinese labor.

Shimatsu argues that Trump's import tariffs are crushing Walmart's China-based supply chain, which he says depended on exploiting low-wage Chinese rural labor and evading U.S. taxes. Drawing on his years reporting in Asia, he describes the scale of Walmart's Chinese sourcing (citing some 30,000 factories) and predicts the decline of big-box retail will revive small independent producers and 'Made in America' craft. He notes Walmart's Chinese rival Wumart's growth via its stake in the METRO chain, and links Walmart to the Clinton-era Arkansas establishment.

That a Vatican conference of bishops would select an American priest as the Catholic Church's new pontiff should seem improbable, indeed impossible.

Reacting to the May 2025 election of American cardinal Robert Prevost (Pope Leo XIV), Shimatsu questions the choice of an obscure missionary who served in Peru. He raises doubts about Prevost's silence on the Sendero Luminoso era and cocaine economy around Chiclayo, and his alleged inaction on clergy sex-abuse cases in Chicago, while speculating about Vatican finances. He also discusses the new pope's criticism of J.D. Vance's invocation of 'Ordo Amoris,' invoking Augustine and Max Scheler's hierarchy of love.

President Donald Trump's tariff war shuts down special tax-free trade privileges that Canadian tycoons have enjoyed under the successor treaty to NAFTA, a termination that outrages the Bank of England and also the influential Rothschild clan's headmistress, Lynn Forester de Rothschild.

Shimatsu contends that Trump's tariff policy threatens the financial interests of the Rothschild family and British establishment, personified by Lynn Forester de Rothschild, whom he links to Jeffrey Epstein and Hillary Clinton. He frames the 2025 election of former Bank of England head Mark Carney as Canadian PM as a globalist plot, makes derogatory ethnic claims about Canadian voters, and praises King Charles and Prince Harry as potential American allies. He casts Trump's tariffs as a continuation of the American Revolution against British financial control.

In a friendly but realistically skeptical response to President Donald Trump's suggestion of reviving America's once-dominant role in computer production, here is a long look back at the self-inflicted decline and fall of Silicon Valley followed by China's cautious rise to dominance over tech manufacturing.

Responding to Trump's call to revive U.S. computer manufacturing, Shimatsu argues it cannot return because Silicon Valley's decline was self-inflicted, caused by frequent crashes, toxic chemical pollution, underpaid immigrant labor and a fast-profit culture. Drawing on his reporting, he recounts the migration of firms like Dell and Microsoft to Chinese hubs (Shenzhen, Xiamen, Beijing), crediting China's rigorous quality-control inspection for its dominance. He advises the U.S. to focus on content and forward-looking technologies (such as Mars exploration) rather than reviving obsolete production.

The last winds of March brought on fierce sand-storms across the arid border region of New Mexico.

In a travelogue essay, Shimatsu describes driving from dust-stormed New Mexico into the forests of eastern Arizona, weaving in reflections on the deaths of actor Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa, desert wildlife, and abusive logging practices. He argues that vacant repainted homes he encounters are part of a real-estate scam he attributes to figures like Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, linked to the Pacific Palisades fire. He laments environmental destruction and idealizes an unspoiled 'America the Beautiful' over real-estate profiteering.

In early childhood I was infected with the measles virus, which triggered traumatic experiences caused by blotches of red dots breaking over my face and chest.

Shimatsu opens with a personal account of his childhood measles infection, then argues that the 2025 U.S. measles outbreak is not natural but a deliberate bioengineered attack. He claims the seven affected states all host Air Force bases that supplied Ukraine, and contends the strain was engineered in Ukrainian biolabs and spread by returning U.S. personnel as retaliation by Volodymyr Zelensky for the American withdrawal. The piece makes sweeping antisemitic claims, alleging Zelensky's government is waging biowarfare and genocide against Christian Ukrainians.

3-11-25 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFukushima & Nuclear Radiation

Fukushima Year 14 - Could there be anything left to report on this double-digit anniversary of the 11 March 2011 nuclear disaster at the Tokyo Electric power plant?

In his annual Fukushima anniversary essay (year 14), Shimatsu argues that the 2011 Reactor 3 explosion, which he attributes to MOX fuel, sent shockwaves through the Earth's core that knocked the North Pole off its axis and caused an ongoing 'polar wobble.' He claims to observe a roughly 30-degree westward shift of the sun from New Mexico, links Trump's interest in Greenland to the pole's drift, and blames Fukushima radioactivity for California wildfires while accusing media and scientists of a coverup.

2-14-25 · By Yoichi ShimatsuImmigration & the US Border

The current Federal crackdown on uninvited foreign infiltrators is proceeding smoothly with over-all effectiveness - but yet to be convincingly proven with the deportation of the remaining 5 million illegals.

In a long four-part essay on illegal immigration along the New Mexico border, Shimatsu argues that lazy American employers drive illegal migration, that immigrants drain scarce desert water, and calls for harsh penalties on sanctuary cities. He recounts alleged Somali refugee resettlement and an armed compound near I-10 he frames as invasion preparation, charity theft by a DACA worker, and finally the story of 'Rosita,' a Mexican woman who he says birthed seven U.S. babies to sell them, arguing the 14th Amendment's birthright citizenship is obsolete and should be abolished.

Struggling with all sorts of reported evidence, misinformation and distractions about the horrific passenger jet crash caused by a rampaging Army helicopter in the nation's capital, a picture came into focus - an interconnected global web of desperate intrigue.

Addressing the January 2025 collision of an Army Black Hawk helicopter and a passenger jet near Reagan National Airport, Shimatsu argues the crash was not an accident but the result of a covert nuclear search. He claims the helicopter was using DARPA's ALIAS remote-piloting system and night-vision radiation sensors to hunt for smuggled Soviet-era nuclear weapons that triggered radiation alarms at the Holland Tunnel, and contends the aircraft was remotely hijacked. He blames Ukraine's Zelensky and calls for an ultimatum over the alleged warheads.

Putting a quick and final end to avian influenza aka 'bird flu' outbreaks throughout the American poultry-raising sector is easier done than said - and way cheaper than the costly nonsensical prescriptions from agribusiness/pharmaceutical hucksters.

Shimatsu recounts how, in 2004, he and a Hong Kong scientific team ('Team Psi') claim to have ended a bird-flu outbreak at Thailand's CP Foods cheaply by identifying chlorinated tap water as the cause and recommending the birds drink natural pond water instead. Framed around his adventures selling gold-plated phones and medical technology in Dubai during the War on Terror, he argues the same simple, drug-free fix (adding vinegar to water) could end the costly U.S. avian-influenza mass cullings that he attributes to agribusiness and pharmaceutical profiteering.

On the night following the Martin Luther King weekend, countless headlights of semi-trucks and car caravans moving eastward lit up my windshield as I drove in the opposite direction along Interstate-10, the highway that runs parallel to the border.

Shimatsu describes caravans of Mexican migrants leaving the U.S. via El Paso and Laredo ahead of Trump-era immigration enforcement, arguing they depart wealthier than they arrived after exploiting American welfare and labor markets. He claims they have despoiled the Southwest's water and environment, blames lazy Americans and corrupt Democrats, and warns of dangerous Cartel-controlled routes through Sonora. He predicts the migrants will return in force unless Americans relearn hard work, and ties the exodus to broader U.S. decline.

1-14-25 · By Yoichi ShimatsuJapan: Politics, Cults & History

The Kobe earthquake of January 17, 1995 was a monstrously destructive calamity that destroyed the edifices of a most genteel and largely westernized urban culture in Japan and damaged the nation's main shipping port.

On the 30th anniversary of the 1995 Kobe earthquake, Shimatsu recounts his reporting there as a Japan Times editor and his childhood at a Kobe Catholic school. He alleges official cover-ups, including police letting the Korean Nagata district burn, and advances claims that the quake may have been artificially induced by an electromagnetic/anti-gravity satellite beam and a Soviet 'steel-dissolving' device tied to Shinzo Abe and Aum Shinrikyo's Hideo Murai. He also weaves in claims about a wartime Nazi network and Jewish money-laundering in Kobe.

He's certainly not America's composer like Stephen Foster nor a sophisticate as was Cole Porter, and if anything the musical appeal of the wailing and complaining Bob Dylan has faded over the decades into something of a period piece for historians puzzling over his cynical verses and nasal voice.

Reviewing the 2024 Bob Dylan biopic 'A Complete Unknown,' Shimatsu argues the film conceals what he claims was Dylan's true role as a Pentagon/CIA intelligence asset during the Vietnam era. He contends Dylan (Robert Zimmerman) came from a military family tied to the SAGE/DEW early-warning system, that his relationships with Suze Rotolo and Joan Baez were espionage 'honey traps,' and that rivals like Richard Farina and antiwar musicians (Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison) were murdered by intelligence agencies. The piece draws on the author's own claimed intelligence-family background.

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi tripped and took a spooky tumble - breaking her hip that required replacement surgery at a USAF base in nearby Germany - on the 80th anniversary commemoration of the all-decisive Battle of the Bulge that spelled the end of the Nazi regime.

Prompted by Nancy Pelosi's December 2024 hip injury during a Battle of the Bulge commemoration, Shimatsu argues she had no business leading the delegation because, he claims, her D'Alesandro and Pelosi families were tied to pro-Mussolini fascism in Baltimore and San Francisco. He praises General George Patton as a betrayed hero, advances Holocaust-denialist and antisemitic claims about WWII, and links the San Francisco Democratic establishment to Jewish-Italian organized crime and fentanyl money via Paul Pelosi's China Fund.

Since this is the Christmas and New Year's eve time of celebration, here is a look back to lively San Francisco in the 1980s during the boom of New Wave music and pogo dancing on the weekend just prior to Christmas mass.

A holiday memoir of Shimatsu's time in 1980s San Francisco during the New Wave music era, framed as a companion to his Pelosi piece. He recounts warehouse and art-store jobs, helping stage a fashion show, and bar outings in North Beach, using conversations with an Italian-American co-worker to advance claims about San Francisco's Ligurian Italian community, its alleged ties to Mussolini-era fascism and organized crime, and antisemitic and anti-gay characterizations. He contrasts the city unfavorably with Sicily and New York's Italian quarters.

The impending drama of deportation aka expulsion of a horde of 12 million and possibly more illegal aliens is a long-overdue and sensible response to 'uninvited guests' and the resultant financial burden on the American citizenry.

A Thanksgiving reflection in which Shimatsu argues that legal immigration should be earned through service and valor, contrasting honorable legal immigrants with the roughly 12 million illegal migrants he says burden the country and supports deporting. He recounts his grandfather Saburo's heroic rescue of a U.S. Merchant Marine ship during the Spanish-American War, which he says earned rare legal entry under the Japanese Exclusion Act, and honors his father Ken's WWII service with the 442nd. He frames Thanksgiving as gratitude for hard-won salvation through faith.

Under President Joe Biden's rather sneaky open-door policy with the recently retired Mexican President AMLO Obrador on agricultural imports, the trade imbalance in Mexico's favor has massively swelled to $21 billion in 2023 to an expected $42 billion by the end of this year.

Shimatsu calls for terminating the U.S.-Mexico free-trade agreement, arguing the agricultural trade imbalance harms American farmers and that Mexican produce grown with recycled sewage water carries dangerous, often unfamiliar pathogens. He claims to have found bacteria inside imported chile peppers, recounts that 'Hatch' chiles often actually come from central Mexico, and warns that Mexican trucking depots near the border could serve as staging grounds for a Chinese-Mexican invasion. He urges a revival of safe American family farming.

Nearly three-quarters of voting machines in the U.S. presidential contest are vulnerable to Beijing-inspired ballot rigging, as discussed in my recent article on the Swiss UBS bank and Chinese corporate takeover of Canada-based Dominion Voting Systems.

Co-authored with S.E. Tournes, this pre-election piece profiles Malaysian-Chinese gambling mogul Vincent Tan, owner of the Unisyn ballot-counting machines used in nine U.S. states, whom Shimatsu alleges is a CIA agent. He links Tan to the APT41/'Double Dragon' Chinese hacking group and to insurance/CIA figure Maurice 'Hank' Greenberg, and argues the same engineering used to rig slot machines can rig ballot counters. Drawing on his Malaysia reporting (including MH370 claims), he contends a China-Democrat cabal could throw the election, alongside antisemitic and other inflammatory assertions.

11-1-24 · By Yoichi ShimatsuChina & Asia-Pacific

The burning of ballot boxes is the newest stunt from the dirty Democrats' bag of tricks; a far greater threat to election integrity is electronic tampering with e-ballots at voting stations equipped with Dominion Voting Systems non-paper voting machines.

In this pre-election article, Shimatsu argues that a 'China-Democrat cabal' is poised to rig the 2024 vote through Dominion Voting Systems machines, which he says are controlled via Swiss bank UBS and Chinese nationals, naming Tsinghua engineering professor Fred Hu (citing his own claimed Tsinghua faculty stint). He describes a supposed method of erasing and rewriting ballot check-marks with a ring-mounted device modeled on a roulette-cheating gambler, and claims China seeks revenge over a foiled Google hacking incident in Beijing.

The rather discriminatory - yet hilarious - way over the top stereotype of Puerto Ricans by a comedian at Trump's Carnegie Hall rally has become a liberal crusade for political correctness during this late phase of the election season.

Reacting to a comedian's joke about Puerto Rico at a 2024 Trump rally, Shimatsu defends the right to such satire and argues that Puerto Ricans exhibit 'selfish dependency' on the U.S. while Democrats exploit them. He recounts the 1950 and 1954 Puerto Rican nationalist attacks on Truman and Congress, his time in 1970s-80s New York amid the Young Lords, and alleged rude behavior by Puerto Rican evacuees at a Florida Social Security office. He advocates granting Puerto Rico independence, amid derogatory characterizations of the island and its people.

Part 5 and last in this series on the treasonous Democrat candidates Tim Walz and Kamala Harris ventures into the forbidden realm of gay and lesbian Beijing, a zone where China's devious intelligence service has coddled and exploited bent foreigners to serve as informants.

Part 5 of Shimatsu's 2024 series on Tim Walz and Kamala Harris, this piece alleges that China's intelligence service cultivated a gay-and-lesbian scene in Beijing to entrap and recruit foreign homosexuals as spies. He claims Walz was one such recruit, drawn in by childhood trauma, and frames his alleged counterfeit-dollar smuggling as service to Chinese handlers. The article offers an extended, derogatory account of Beijing's gay subculture and advances homophobic claims while branding Walz a treasonous pedophile.

Part 4 on Tim Walz's treasonous role as a facilitator of China's massive counterfeit dollar smuggling into the USA examines the smuggling route of currency forgery rings from the Netherlands to Indonesia and then onto China - destined for the USA.

Part 4 of the series argues that Tim Walz facilitated China's smuggling of counterfeit U.S. dollars from the Netherlands via Indonesia and China through Canada into Minnesota. Shimatsu recounts his own claimed investigation of the counterfeit trade (including a Dutch engraver 'Rembrandt' and artist Ai Weiwei), alleges Walz passed military codes to China and funneled fake-dollar cash to Democratic campaigns, and ties the operation to George Floyd and the Mexican Cartel, amid antisemitic and homophobic assertions.

Two recent mentally troubled gunmen's attempts to assassinate presidential candidate Donald Trump are 'a blast from the past' with a chilling resemblance to the British MI-6 and CIA-sponsored MK-ULTRA assassin program.

Shimatsu claims that Kamala Harris's mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was secretly a monkey researcher for the CIA/MI-6 MK-ULTRA mind-control assassin program in Montreal, training brainwashed killers used in Vietnam-era operations. Linking this to figures like Ewen Cameron, Hardial Bains and James Jesus Angleton, he argues Harris herself may be a mind-controlled British intelligence agent. The piece weaves in the 2024 Trump assassination attempts, Indira Gandhi's killing, and sweeping antisemitic conspiracy claims.

Donald Trump's mention of dog eating by Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio gives new meaning to terms such as 'Dog Catcher' and 'Hot Dogs', offending the cultural sensitivities of his Democrat critics who aroused a chorus of denial.

Defending Trump's 2024 claim that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio ate pets, Shimatsu argues from his immigrant-counselor and travel experience that dog meat is indeed a traditional food and folk medicine in many cultures, including Haiti, the Philippines, Korea, Vietnam and China. He explains the alleged medicinal value of dog flesh and other 'exotic' animals, attributes Western taboos to Mosaic sanitary law and the privileging of pets, and contends Haitians must adapt to American sensibilities or return home.

Part 2 of this investigative series on the 2024 presidential campaign focuses on Minnesota, an eerily quiet semi-Arctic wasteland known as 'The Gopher State', the hide-out of Kamala's running mate Governor Tim Walz.

Part 2 of the 2024 campaign series contends that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz protected a Chinese operation smuggling counterfeit dollars by rail through International Falls to the Mexican Cartel, and that he allowed the Minneapolis BLM riots to bury a federal investigation. Shimatsu offers an alternative narrative in which George Floyd was a counterfeit 'runner' targeted by undercover federal agents and may have survived, casts Derek Chauvin as a hero, and recounts Walz's China years, amid extensive conspiratorial, antisemitic and other inflammatory claims.

This memoir/essay is about the root causes of the black diaspora from San Francisco initiated by Mayor Dianne Feinstein's crew and her 'hit woman' Kamala Harris, the city prosecutor then of 'Indian origin'.

In this memoir-essay, Shimatsu argues that as a San Francisco prosecutor Kamala Harris persecuted Black and Asian youth to bankrupt and displace their families, enabling a gay 'invasion' and real-estate profiteering he attributes to Dianne Feinstein's circle and Jewish developers. He frames public defender Jeff Adachi as her mentor and rival and implies she was connected to his 2019 death and its cover-up. The piece, drawing on his SF years, contains graphic, derogatory characterizations and conspiratorial and antisemitic claims.

This essay focuses on the strategic threat of an impending sale of U.S. Steel to its Japanese rival Nippon Steel, the direct postwar descendant of the infamous Yawata steelworks, which supplied the armor plate to the Imperial Navy for the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Argues that the proposed sale of U.S. Steel to Japan's Nippon Steel, descendant of the wartime Yawata steelworks that armed the Imperial Navy, is a strategic threat that could sabotage American naval rearmament and serve a hidden aim of supplying parts for aging U.S. nuclear plants. Warns, drawing on the author's own steelworker memoir, that a seemingly friendly Japan could betray the U.S. amid a looming Pacific war.

President Joe Biden's rush to promise 100 percent federal funding for a quick rebuild of the Francis Scott Key bridge is a subliminal expression of his guilt in the ill-fated Dali affair.

Contends that the Baltimore Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse was no accident but exposed a covert Biden-administration scheme to smuggle CDC-NIH COVID medical waste aboard the cargo ship Dali for secret dumping in Sri Lanka or the Antarctic seas, possibly by scuttling the vessel and its crew. Ties the alleged plot to yakuza-linked shipping owners, insurance fraud, and a globalist depopulation agenda.

The long-term threat from thirteen years of constant exposure to radioactivity is being topped up with releases of thousands of tons of highly radioactive tritium-laced water drained out of temporary storage tanks at the ruins of the TEPCO nuclear plant in Fukushima.

Claims that thirteen years after Fukushima, TEPCO's ongoing releases of tritium-laced water and uninhibited radioactive flows are poisoning North America's water supply and driving extreme weather, wildfires, and a mass extinction event. Asserts the nuclear industry and a complicit Green movement are covering up a catastrophe that makes childbirth a doom for the newborn.

At long last, members of Congress are fulfilling their duty to question and hopefully remove the conniving Department of Homeland Security boss Alejandro Mayorkas, with his onerous record of unlawful interference with Border Patrol enforcement procedures.

Argues that DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is deliberately sabotaging Border Patrol enforcement, punishing and silencing agents while protecting Mexican cartel smugglers, killers, and traffickers, an act the author deems treasonous. Links Mayorkas's alleged corruption to his Cuban-Jewish origins and recounts cartel violence, drug trafficking, and crime spreading across the U.S. Southwest.

Part 2 of this series on the Noto Peninsula earthquake by the Sea of Japan on New Year's Day is focused on the mysterious O-ring cloud, its image captured by a mobile-phone wielding local driver eight days after the deadly temblor.

Contends that the deadly New Year's Day Noto Peninsula earthquake was not natural but triggered by decades of high-energy particle releases from the Monju fusion and Fugen MOX nuclear reactors, which destabilized undersea mountains. Cites a mysterious 'O-ring' cloud photographed during an aftershock as evidence of escaping radioactive particles, and accuses Japan's nuclear establishment of a cover-up.

The salacious allegations filed in a New York City court by society columnist E. Jean Carroll are patently absurd for anyone who resided and worked in the Big Apple some 30-40 years ago, myself included.

Argues that columnist E. Jean Carroll's sexual-assault claim against Donald Trump is a fraudulent fantasy, contending that a stand-up assault in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room was physically implausible and would have been caught by the store's tight 1990s security. Drawing on the author's own New York experience, dismisses Carroll as a deluded or scheming liar and calls for the verdict to be overturned.

The death toll from the New Year's Day (O-shogatsu) mega-earthquake in western Japan's Noto Peninsula, Ishikawa prefecture, is still being tabulated by boat crews retrieving bloated bodies from the Sea of Japan.

Contends that the deadly Noto Peninsula mega-quake was caused not by natural plate tectonics but by massive radioactivity releases from the failed Monju fusion and Fugen MOX reactors, named after Buddhist saints, which eroded undersea sandstone mountains. Frames the disaster as divine punishment for nuclear hubris and accuses the Japanese government of covering up the cause.

Amid the news media hysteria over North Korean missile launches in the western Pacific, a far closer threat from China went unreported in the heartland of America's nuclear defenses.

Claims that a Chinese 'Shen Long' space plane intruded over the White Sands Missile Range in December 2023, releasing surveillance balloons, and that the Biden White House ordered a stand-down rather than intercept it. Asserts this proves Joe and Hunter Biden are compromised paid agents of Beijing committing treason, and warns it presages a coordinated invasion of the U.S. Southwest.

12-21-23 · By Yoichi ShimatsuChina & Asia-Pacific

Hunter Biden's unconvincing plea of being the blameless target of conservative-hatched character assassination only verifies his guilt in a national-security scandal involving his father's career-long role as a mole of Beijing in America's strategic affairs.

Contends that Hunter Biden served as a paid, unregistered foreign agent for Chinese energy mogul Ye Jianming, lobbying to advance Beijing's One Belt One Road rail project in Eastern Europe, and that Joe Biden has been a career-long Chinese intelligence asset since a youthful CIA posting. Argues the Bidens are treasonous 'Manchurian Candidates' shielded from prosecution, interwoven with the author's anecdotes of Cold War-era China.

This essay is divided into two parts: the unusual 28th UN climate change conference in Dubai, where one of the world's biggest nuclear-energy plants is under construction with the blessing of the COP 'eco-warriors' who consider uranium a 'Green Energy' fuel; and the author's journalism and business experiences in the Gulf region.

Argues that Israel timed its assault on Gaza to intimidate Arab and Iranian nuclear ambitions and overshadow the Dubai COP28 climate summit, host of the UAE's Barakah nuclear plant. Claims Israel sabotages rivals' reactors (including via Stuxnet at Fukushima) and dismisses 'rising seas' climate science as fraudulent, attributing coastal erosion instead to nuclear contamination, amid the author's recollections of Dubai and assassination attempts.

Appropriately it was along Unter der Linden Strasse, inside the foyer of a palatial office building that had served as headquarters of the Nazi Gestapo and Soviet East Germany's Stasi, that I had the dubious honor of shaking hands with Heinz 'Henry' Kissinger.

Assesses the late Henry Kissinger as a Machiavellian realist whose ruthless support for dictatorships and war crimes the author finds less culpable than today's liberal idealism. Centers a personal claim that Kissinger and Colin Powell, in their deal to end the Vietnam War, betrayed and arranged the massacre of America's secret armies in Laos, including Hmong allies, an act the author brands treason.

At this most inauspicious moment on a somber day that marks perhaps the last decade anniversary for those who witnessed the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, our solemn public attention is being distracted by Jewish/Israeli hubris involving their brutal confiscation of the Palestinian homeland.

On the 60th anniversary of the assassination, casts John F. Kennedy as a martyred peacemaker killed by a CIA-Mafia-Zionist cabal angered by his refusal to restore Jewish mobster Meyer Lansky's Cuban casinos and his rejection of the Vietnam war agenda. Draws parallels to present-day Israel and Palestine, weaving in the author's family ties to Pentagon and Air America figures.

Elite special ops teams with the Israel Defense Force held off their assault on Gaza's Al Shifa hospital, the supposed 'underground headquarters of Hamas rebels', while waiting for the local electric power plant to run out of diesel fuel, shutting off the lights to blind witnesses.

Alleges that Israeli forces besieging Gaza's Al Shifa hospital deliberately let premature babies die in order to harvest their organs for sale to wealthy elderly Jews worldwide, framing it as a revival of ancient Baal child sacrifice. Advances antisemitic and 'Khazarian' theories and recounts the author's claimed investigations into a global organ-trafficking trade.

There are 14 hospitals in Gaza, so why was the Anglican (Church of England/Episcopalian) hospital targeted for aerial bombing, which killed some 600 patients, family members and medical staff on the night of Tuesday, October 17?

Contends that the deadly strike on Gaza's Anglican al-Ahli hospital was not an errant Hamas rocket but a deliberate F-16 or U.S. Navy airstrike, possibly ordered to oust Netanyahu and install a more pliable Israeli leader. Likens it to the 1946 Zionist King David Hotel bombing and advances a theory that Israel was founded through a covert wartime Japanese-Jewish alliance.

10-16-23 · By Yoichi ShimatsuIsrael, Zionism & the Middle East

The purposefully delayed IDF military response by the ruling Netanyahu coalition to Hamas rocket fire was a transparent ploy to scare the daylights out of decadent Israelis to accept the mass execution and permanent ouster of Gaza Palestinians.

Argues that a 'Davos mindset' of political correctness, feminism, and open borders has left a decadent, emasculated West deluded about defending Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan. Contends that 'rogue' states like Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, and China have grown technologically and militarily superior, and warns the U.S. cannot win confrontations against them.

10-11-23 · By Yoichi ShimatsuIsrael, Zionism & the Middle East

It was during this past summer's massive gay, lesbian, pedophile and sadomasochist protests across Israel against the governing conservative coalition in the Knesset that I had uneasy premonitions of 'fire and brimstone' retribution storming down from the sky.

Frames the Hamas rocket attacks on Israel as divine 'fire and brimstone' retribution akin to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, blaming the sins of a sexually decadent, LGBTQ-celebrating Israeli and diaspora Jewish society. Argues Israel is morally defiled and no longer worth defending by Christians, weaving in the author's Catholic-school recollections and biblical retellings.

The late-arriving news of the quiet passing of Epstein-Clinton crony William 'Bill' Blaine Richardson leaves a vacuum in a slew of crime mysteries, including the whereabouts of the current pedophile pimp Jeffrey Epstein.

Casts the death of former New Mexico governor Bill Richardson as removing a key figure in a web of elite crime tied to Jeffrey Epstein, the Clintons, and Obama. Alleges Richardson swindled Geronimo's Apache descendants in a casino deal, facilitated Epstein's Zorro Ranch, and pushed corrupt green-energy and gun-running schemes, while questioning whether Epstein truly died.

Hurricane Idalia stormed out of the Gulf like a dark horse blazing past the herd at the Kentucky Derby, then it was gone nearly before it was here, leaving news cameramen dazed in its wake.

Uses Hurricane Idalia's non-lethal passage up Florida's Suwannee River as a springboard to praise Governor Ron DeSantis's disaster preparedness over Hawaii's Democratic handling of the Maui fire. Digresses into a revisionist defense of Stephen Foster's minstrel songs, argues the abolitionist North practiced hidden slavery, and attacks 'woke' academia, the Civil Rights movement, and Black Lives Matter.

A mumbling sorcerer performing diabolical rites for his familial 'demi-gods', Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is opening the cocks of the Fukushima radioactive storage tanks to drain amassed toxic tritium into the Pacific Ocean.

Contends that Japan's release of tritium-laced Fukushima wastewater into the Pacific is a deliberate, ritualistic act of Shinto 'demon worship' by PM Kishida meant to cast nuclear evil onto a sinful America. Blames the disaster on U.S. shipments of MOX fuel under Bush and Obama and claims Reactor 3's explosion knocked Earth off its axis, dismissing climate change as a cover story.

This second essay focuses on the few choices left by the disastrous fire-storm across the western peninsula of Maui island in the state of Hawaii, and the visual evidence for an electromagnetic 'strike' that wiped out the historic town of Lahaina.

Argues that fire-destroyed Lahaina should not be rebuilt but converted into a joint-services military intelligence base to counter China, Russia, and North Korea in the Pacific. Claims the Maui firestorm was likely ignited by a satellite-borne laser weapon, citing a red glow the author saw in New Mexico, and floats suspects ranging from foreign powers to the Bidens, Buffett, and Gates.

8-10-23 · By Yoichi ShimatsuEnvironment, Energy & Climate

While the facts are trickling in from a stunned Hawaii, some early-on mention should be given to the massive fire-storm that torched the historic whaling town of Lahaina on the island of Maui.

Speculates that the Maui Lahaina firestorm may have been deliberate arson tied to battles over illegal cannabis cultivation and wealthy elites clearing land for luxury real estate, noting that rich owners' estates were spared while poor residents died. Also blames Fukushima radioactive fallout and alleges a Yakuza-Jewish mob takeover of Hawaii's politics and property market.

This essay is the first in a series of probing articles that examine lesser known, and indeed still secret, aspects of the American nuclear weapons program, in the run-up to the 80th anniversary of the world's first successful atomic bomb test at the Trinity Site in New Mexico.

Reviews Christopher Nolan's film 'Oppenheimer' as a springboard to argue the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings were unnecessary acts of vengeance, emphasizing the role of Jewish physicists and casting Oppenheimer and Einstein as cold opportunists. Advances claims about secret U.S. nuclear transfers, a wartime Japanese-Jewish alliance, and links present-day heat waves to Fukushima radioactivity.

The original purpose for the importation of cocaine, a plant-based painkiller and tingly stimulant, from South America was in dentistry, to soothe the gum-and-tooth nerves wracked by infectious bleeding and during tooth-cavity drilling.

Claims the bag of cocaine found at the White House belonged to Hunter Biden, who allegedly stashed it to medicate his father before a NATO summit speech and a 'brain-cleansing' dialysis at Camp David. Asserts cocaine accounts for Joe Biden's shifts from frailty to vigor, in a satirical, drug-and-Ukraine-laced screed against the Biden family.

Under normal circumstances a marital spat involving a celebrity singer is relegated to the gossip column of trashy magazines read by idle housewives and online influencers squatting at hair salons.

Contends that Hong Kong singer CoCo Lee's reported suicide may have been an assassination linked to her Jewish husband's alleged network of drug financiers, tying Hong Kong fashion-export businessmen to Chinese-Jewish-Mexican cartel trafficking of fentanyl and cocaine. Advances extensive antisemitic claims and frames her coerced conversion to Judaism and refusal to cooperate as motives.

The deranged anti-scientific 'Green' movement is once again blowing smoke rings about 'global warming' to divert public attention from the immediate cause of the Canadian wildfires and toxic haze choking Americans from New York to Chicago.

Argues that the Canadian wildfires and toxic haze choking the U.S. are caused not by climate change but by radioactive 'hot particles' from Fukushima wastewater carried on the jet stream, plus emissions from Great Lakes reactors. Dismisses global warming as a diversion, attacks the film 'Oppenheimer' and the Department of Energy, and frames the contamination as deliberate mass murder.

This article on the catastrophic fate of the OceanGate submersible raises a host of issues involving science ethics, adventure enterprise, nautical history, possible criminal intentions against its motley crew and even contact with alien civilizations.

Speculates that the implosion of the OceanGate Titan submersible may have been sabotage rather than accident, because a passenger was a SETI trustee, tying it to an alleged cabal that suppresses evidence of non-human intelligence. Links it to claimed sabotage of the Arecibo and Vatican telescopes and a National Geographic plot, founded by Alexander Graham Bell, to exterminate intelligent Himalayan ape species.

This first-hand report on a major leak along the U.S.-Mexico border shows how thousands of illegals, many from hostile military regimes and fanatic jihadists, pass unchecked through a vast Indian reservation into the Democrat election fraud capital of Maricopa County/Phoenix, Arizona.

Contends that a deliberate gap in the unfinished border wall along the Tohono Oodham reservation in Arizona allows the Sinaloa cartel to funnel thousands of illegal migrants, including alleged hostile-state military operatives and jihadists, into the Phoenix area. Claims the Biden administration enables this influx to facilitate election fraud and that many arrivals are covert infiltrators flown in and bankrolled by foreign governments to wage future attacks inside the United States.

The White House-ordered FBI arrest of young airman Jack Teixeira at his family home, located just a stone's throw away from Joe Biden's 8-bedroom seaside mansion on Rehoboth Beach, marks the beginning of the end of a hopelessly misguided war in Ukraine.

Argues that the FBI arrest of airman Jack Teixeira, whom the author casts as a patriotic whistleblower, signals the impending collapse of the Biden administrations Ukraine policy. Asserts that the leaked documents reveal imminent NATO and Ukrainian defeat that the White House is concealing, comparing the situation to the fall of Saigon and predicting heavy American casualties. The piece also voices disparaging generalizations about military service.

This third part in an investigative series on the Ohio train derailing examines the mysterious plane crash in Little Rock, Arkansas, that killed five employees with the environmental laboratory contracted by Norfolk Southern for field studies of the chemical residues left from the East Palestine burn-trench disposal.

Claims, in the third installment of a series, that a Little Rock plane crash killing five environmental-lab employees was a drone-delivered bombing ordered by the White House to silence investigators of the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment. Asserts the derailed tanker cars secretly carried chemical-warfare agents bound for Ukraine, that the Air Force base trained the saboteurs, and that mainstream media engaged in a cover-up.

Saturday, March 11, 2023 marks the 12th anniversary of the triple disaster that struck the Fukushima coastal region with a powerful earthquake and tsunami that wrecked the vulnerable Fukushima No.2 nuclear power station operated by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO).

Argues, on the 12th anniversary of the Fukushima disaster, that Tokyo Electric Powers ocean dumping of radioactive wastewater and the seabed burial of fuel rods are generating heated, radioactively charged clouds that cross the Pacific to cause Californias extreme storms, snowfall, and wildfires. Contends these events are wrongly attributed to climate change or atmospheric rivers, and accuses governments and environmental groups of covering up the nuclear industrys role.

It was heartening to learn that the anti-pollution activist Erin Brockovich has visited East Palestine residents to warn them not to accept government claims of a harmless chemical burn-off at face value.

Continuing the series, contends that four additional toxic chemicals burned off in the East Palestine, Ohio derailment were part of an illegal chemical-weapons stockpile from a Dow-Mallinckrodt site, destined for a planned NATO false-flag offensive in Ukraine. Argues the chemicals would be sprayed by agricultural drones and artillery against Russian troops, and that Biden, Austin and EPA chief Regan are war criminals deserving prosecution at The Hague.

In a recent radio conversation, Jeff Rense and I discussed some of the inexplicable anomalies related to the night-time train derailment of chemical-laden tankers at East Palestine, Ohio, which left a slew of questions but very few clear answers.

Argues that the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment involved an illegal nighttime shipment of vinylidene chloride, a chemical-weapons precursor, falsely labeled as vinyl chloride and burned to destroy evidence. Claims the cargo from a Dow uranium site was bound for the Army's Edgewood Arsenal to be weaponized into phosgene for a CIA false-flag gas attack on Poland and Ukraine intended to provoke NATO into war with Russia.

Local Montana correspondent Tim Kosinski provided timely reporting on the Montana pass-by of the Chinese airship, describing the explosive over-flight as 'a hell of a big deal for local residents', which confirms a report of a shootout by a USAF fighter.

Contends that the Chinese surveillance balloon that crossed the US was both a military spy mission mapping nuclear-missile and 5G defense sites and a coded demand that Biden repay billions in alleged Chinese campaign loans behind his 2019 election. Claims Beijing is pressuring Biden to surrender Taiwan to settle the debt and casts him as a 'Manchurian Candidate' beholden to the Chinese Communist Party.

Part 6 of the FTX series now probes the highest levels of the Obama-era chairwoman of the Federal Reserve and the masterminding of the global financial crimes of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange for fund transfers from Beijing and Shanghai for Democrat candidates.

Asserts that Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen masterminded the FTX cryptocurrency operation as a scheme to launder Chinese money and rig the 2019 election for Biden, working with Sam Bankman-Fried's parents and their 'Mind The Gap' superPAC. Frames Yellen, the Bankman-Frieds and Zelensky as a Jewish criminal cabal guilty of treason, and ties the affair to stolen Ukraine-aid funds and Chinese control of US policy.

Volodymyr Zelensky's demand to shift the Holocaust blame off Germany's slumped shoulders onto the New Reich of Vladimir Putin's Kremlin has at last paid off with marching orders for tank corps out of Berlin and Washington to the frontlines in Ukraine.

Contends that the dispatch of German Leopard and US Abrams tanks to Ukraine will end in a catastrophic defeat echoing the WWII Siege of Stalingrad, because the tanks lack the full logistical and support infrastructure needed against disciplined Russian forces. Drawing on the author's father's WWII service, argues the Ukraine war is a treasonous diversion by Biden's Democrats from the real threat of infiltration across the US southern border.

The talisman animal of the Lunar Year of the Rabbit is based on an ancient Chinese myth, shared by much of the rest of Asia, of a beautiful young princess named Chang'e exiled from the Emperor's court to spend her remaining life on the Moon.

Contends that the Lunar New Year mass shooting in Monterey Park was carried out by a former South Vietnamese ARVN paratrooper, not by the African American assailant many assumed, and was rooted in ethnic tensions between older Vietnamese-Chinese and Taiwanese residents and wealthy newer mainland Chinese immigrants. Drawing on the author's refugee-counseling past, frames the killing as revenge tied to the legacy of the Vietnam War.

An unholy perversion of Constantine's vision of a glowing cross in the sky appeared over the Continental Divide, so I eased up on the gas pedal to peer at the luminous golden spike hovering above the far horizon.

Argues that the severe January storms that battered California were not 'atmospheric rivers' but were powered by tritium and radioactivity from Fukushima wastewater dumped into the Pacific, a fact the author says weathermen and the nuclear industry are covering up. Claims the storms' sudden directional shifts trace underground electromagnetic energy lines, and links the disaster to alleged Obama-Biden complicity in Fukushima's MOX-fueled meltdown.

A pair of binary stars spin in a furious pirouette around the moons of a red giant star that threatens to swallow them into its ponderous mass, but instead by its gravitational thrust are flung wildly to reach escape velocity into emptiness.

Asserts, drawing on the author's time in China, that FTX was set up in Hong Kong specifically to channel billions in secret Chinese government and business funds into Joe Biden's 2019 campaign for vote-rigging, after older money routes were closed by FATCA rules and exposure of Sands casino transfers. Claims Hunter Biden was the bagman linking FTX, the 'Mind The Gap' superPAC and later stolen Ukraine-aid funds.

A tidal wave of PC criticism is engulfing pop songstress Gwen Stefani, and hopefully she will ride it out defiantly like the avid surfer Ka'iulani, the Last Princess of Hawaii, who opposed the American takeover of her Polynesian islands.

Defends pop singer Gwen Stefani against accusations of cultural appropriation over her Harajuku-inspired music, arguing that her work positively brought Japanese youth fashion culture to global attention. Drawing on the author's experience as a Tokyo editor, contends the 'politically correct' criticism is ahistorical and that cultural exchange should be celebrated rather than condemned as inauthentic.

Here in Part 4 of this series on FTX, the world's second largest cryptocurrency exchange, whose CEO Samuel Bankman-Fried steered into bankruptcy by depleting nearly all its supposedly code-protected accounts, raises a slew of questions for panicked account holders.

Asserts that FTX's Sam Bankman-Fried drained customer accounts to bankroll a fake 'Aid For Ukraine' charity that served as cover for bribing Biden officials and Congress to ship Raytheon and Lockheed weapons to Kyiv. Claims FTX and Alameda were a Treasury-CIA Trojan Horse, and calls for war-crimes prosecution of Biden, Zelensky and Bankman-Fried; the piece mixes satirical 'comedy' passages with its allegations.

And you thought MK-ULTRA was ancient history that faded away at the end of the bad old days of the Cold War; guess again, because the state-sponsored mind control program is cruising along like a restored muscle car.

Contends that FTX was not a failed business but a covert Treasury-CIA sting and revived MK-ULTRA mind-control project, entrapping wealthy tax evaders, drug dealers and politicians while researching how to harness autistic, 'polycule'-linked minds to memorize and crack account codes. Ties the operation to a UCSF psychiatric institute and frames the Bankman-Fried collapse as a staged cover-up.

Here, in Part 2 of this preliminary autopsy on the FTX-Alameda cryptocurrency heist, the focus shifts from Hong Kong to a new base of financial operations in the balmy British colony of the Bahamas.

Asserts that after relocating FTX to the Bahamas, Sam Bankman-Fried used his parents' 'Mind The Gap' superPAC to bribe a corrupt Congress into shipping Pentagon weapons to Ukraine free of charge. Ties the scheme to alleged Rothschild and British intelligence interests and to philosopher William MacAskill, and contains extended antisemitic and ethnically derogatory claims about Ukrainian and Jewish figures.

12-21-22 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFinance & Corporate Power

The now notorious FTX-Alameda crypto-exchange facilitated China's massive cash flows to the Democrats for vote-buying and ballot tampering in the 2019 U.S. elections.

Asserts that FTX, founded by Sam Bankman-Fried in Hong Kong, was created to launder Chinese Communist Party money through his parents' 'Mind The Gap' superPAC into the 2020 Democratic campaign to rig the election for Biden via voter fraud and paid ballots. Claims roughly $40 million of Beijing funds secured Biden's win and that the FTX collapse conveniently erased records of the alleged treason.

Hers is the face that launched a thousand ships on waves of permed hair, atop a virginal white sports bra revealing a wasp waist modestly tucked into tapered designer jeans.

Contends that Venezuelan migrants at the US border are a disguised military 'Trojan Horse' of infiltrators directed by an anti-US alliance of Venezuela, China, Iran and others, citing a news photo the author claims depicts a special-forces soldier feigning illness. Argues the Biden administration's open-border policy is treason that will enable guerrilla warfare on US soil.

Nearly $1 billion in fines for libel in the Sandy Hook school shooting case will presumably end 'the Reign of Error' of Alex Jones, the bombastic host of the Infowars news site.

Asserts that the near-billion-dollar Sandy Hook defamation verdict against Alex Jones is a Stalinist-style 'show trial' suppressing dissent, while floating the author's own claim that the 2012 shooting may have involved disgruntled ex-NYPD officers exploiting DHS school-security flaws modeled on Israel's Shin Bet. Also contends Jones was secretly funded via his ex-wife's CIA-connected family, framing him as a controlled asset rather than a genuine dissident.

This is a 2-part article in one long wail, the first half devoted to the Hurricane Ian recovery effort in Florida, and the second part my recollections of the 2004 South Asian Tsunami disaster in Thailand.

Argues, drawing on the author's field research after the 2004 Asian tsunami, that Hurricane Ian exposed shoddy resort and mobile-home construction, and urges Florida to use university engineering and low-cost steel reinforcement and anchoring to rebuild. Contends electric vehicles failed during the evacuation and dismisses climate-change 'global warming' as eco-fraud, claiming hurricanes have actually been weakening.

Some thoughts on the ill-founded rumors of Xi Jinping being comatose rather than in mere poor health, while China musters the energy to fight a multi-front war against Central Asian jihadists.

Contends that rumors of Xi Jinping being comatose or under house arrest are exaggerated, and that Xi is merely chronically ill while China prepares to back Russia militarily. Argues, in a piece partly reproduced from the author's emails, that the Ukraine war is the opening of a larger civilizational conflict between 'Christian Russia' and 'Muslim Turks,' and that China's leadership is realigning its military toward a Eurasian war.

Arriving late for the ceremonies, Joe Biden should not have tried to barge into a Westminster Abbey packed with mourners, accepting instead humbly a seat in the obscure back row.

Asserts that the CIA, directed by an Irish-American Democratic faction, was behind the 1979 IRA assassination of Lord Mountbatten and the 2005 London Tube bombing, which the author claims targeted the Royal Family and was falsely blamed on Muslim terrorists. Frames Biden as duplicitous for attending the Queen's funeral, and offers a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II and Britain's cultural legacy.

The Uvalde school siege was the lead-off among the summertime shootings involving the murders of American inventors, as reported in this series on the suppression of patents following the two-year COVID hiatus.

Contends that the Uvalde school shooting was a state-sponsored operation to depopulate the town so a gas pipeline and power plant could supply electricity for Biden and Newsom's mandated electric-vehicle push. Ties the alleged scheme to Credit Suisse, the 'Suisse Secrets' leak, and Global Infrastructure Partners financing, and frames a Democratic-backed lawsuit against Texas as an effort to bankrupt the town.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unleashed the baying FBI hounds against Donald Trump to divert media attention away from her personal betrayal of triggering China's military siege of Taiwan.

Asserts that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi triggered China's military pressure on Taiwan to distract from her family's alleged corruption, claiming her husband and son Paul Pelosi Jr. profit from Chinese, lithium and energy deals. Cites a Fox News segment about Paul Jr. traveling on her Asia trip, and contains extended defamatory and ethnically derogatory attacks on the Pelosi family's background.

Before any telling evidence arrived from police investigators in New Mexico, Vice President Kamala Harris jumped to the erroneous conclusion that the shootings of four Muslim immigrant men in Albuquerque were racially motivated attacks.

Contends that the Albuquerque killings of Muslim men were not racially motivated hate crimes, as Kamala Harris suggested, but stemmed from the Afghan War, claiming the arrested suspect was a former Afghan special-police interrogator possibly tied to the Obama-Biden 'extraordinary rendition' program. Frames Biden as a war criminal and links New Mexico Democratic figures to Jeffrey Epstein and a wider cover-up.

One of the questions related to Nancy Pelosi's long drawn-out flight from Anderson air base to Taipei's Taoyuan Airport is why didn't the People's Liberation Army Air Force dispatch its fighter-jets to intercept her flight for a forced landing on Hainan Island?

Asserts that Nancy Pelosi is a paid Chinese Communist Party asset whose Taiwan visit was deliberately designed to give Beijing a pretext to lay military siege to the island, claiming her flight path was secretly shared with the PLA. Frames Pelosi, Biden and other Democrats as 'Manchurian candidates' funded by Beijing, and argues Taiwan is being sold out; the piece includes antisemitic and homophobic asides.

During his all-too brief “COVID” infection in late July, President Joe Biden went into hiding aka self-quarantine, despite having subjected himself earlier to Tony Fauci’s double-dose vaccinations, which raised suspicions of faked relapse being an ulterior motive for his going incommunicado.

Contends that Biden faked a COVID relapse to hide from the visiting Pope and avoid Catholic censure over his shift to a pro-abortion stance, which the author claims was bought with 'dark money' from Bill Gates and other donors. Frames the abortion-rights position as mortal sin tied to vote fraud, and includes derogatory passages on immigration, LGBTQ people and the Ukraine war.

The fourth in our series on summertime shootings is based on an emergent recognition of a common thread woven through fabric of a puzzling crime spree, that bing the underlying motive of copyright theft by armed robbery of key innovative technologies before the granting of a patent.

Contends that the Greenwood, Indiana mall shooting was not random but a botched operation to murder a local inventor and steal patent documents before the patent office reopened after COVID, part of a claimed summer pattern of such killings. Argues a 'spotter' and shooter aimed to let accomplices pickpocket the target's keys, with the instigator escaping to Canada; interwoven with the author's reminiscences of Indiana.

The notorious Olympics femmie champ swings them dreadlocks from near to far / ‘cuz this Nike fashion star clenching a Black Lives Matter fist has dethroned Bruce Jenner off the celeb list / Brittney at 6-feet 9-inches long still can flick as wrist though there’s just a lil twist / ding-dong!

Argues that the Biden administration should not seek detained basketball player Brittney Griner's release from Russia, and advances the author's unfounded claim that Griner is secretly a man defrauding women's sports. Ties Bill Richardson's mediation role to Jeffrey Epstein, and frames a proposed Viktor Bout prisoner swap as a scheme to recover lost Ukraine weapons; contains extensive transphobic, racist and defamatory content.

Summary: The Fourth of July attack in Highland Park, on Chicago’s North Shore, is the third in a series of recent shooting events in the USA.

Contends that the Highland Park, Illinois July 4 shooting was a coordinated operation by British intelligence and Rothschild interests to murder a gene-therapy company executive and steal biotech patents, part of a claimed series of inventor killings. Links the shooters to the 'Assassin's Creed' video game and an alleged Canada escape route, and includes antisemitic and conspiratorial claims framing Britain as an enemy.

Japan's two-term prime minister, Shinzo Abe, has at last been served the death penalty via belated extrajudicial punishment necessitated by the repeated failures and cowardice of the nation's impotent legal system and a corrupt international diplomatic order.

Asserts that the assassination of former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe was deserved 'overdue justice,' alleging Abe was a criminal mastermind tied to secret WMD programs, the Aum Shinrikyo cult and the 1995 Tokyo subway gassing, theft of Fukushima charity funds, and lies about Tokyo's radiation safety. Frames the shooter as a heroic modern 'ronin' and calls for his release, celebrating the killing rather than mourning it.

Summary of Investigative Reporting in Buffalo: The investigative journalism visit to Buffalo, NY, by the author and a local colleague who served as guide, was aimed at discovering the actual motive behind the Tops supermarket shooting in mid-May.

Contends that the Buffalo Tops supermarket shooting was not a racist attack but a targeted assassination of security guard Aaron Salter, whom the author claims invented a working water-powered car engine that threatened the oil industry. Argues the gunman was a mind-controlled asset linked to energy interests, British-Canadian intelligence and a Binghamton psychiatric legacy tied to MK-ULTRA, with extended conspiratorial and derogatory asides.

Uvalde, Texas - One of few genteel towns in an otherwise violent crime-ridden border region of Southwest Texas, this longtime hub of the mohair wool trade' with its row of giant shade trees and grand colonial-style pillared mansions. seems the unlikeliest target for a mass shooting.

Contends that the Uvalde school shooting was not random but tied to the shooter's claimed transsexual identity and a possible secret relationship between his family and federal officials, blaming a 77-minute rescue delay on Homeland Security rather than local police. Argues Biden's DHS leadership bears responsibility; the piece is built around extended transphobic, homophobic and conspiratorial claims presented as the author's theory.

5-6-22 · By Yoichi ShimatsuUS Politics & Elections

In late April, while the Bidenites were wringing their hands over neo-fascist Azov terrorists trapped under a collapsed Ukrainian steel mill, DHS boss Alex Mayorkas announced the appointment of Nina Morgon Jankowicz as executive director of the newly created Disformation Governance Board (DGB).

Attacks Nina Jankowicz, named to head DHS's short-lived Disinformation Governance Board, as a CIA-linked propagandist and 'Ministry of Truth' censor, claiming the board exists to shield the Biden family and suppress dissent. Speculates at length about her hidden background and ties Delaware figures to 'Pizzagate' pedophilia conspiracy theories; contains antisemitic, homophobic and defamatory content presented as the author's claims.

This newest essay in my Ukraine series was planned to focus solely on the $40 billion in lethal armaments being sent by the Biden White House and a warmongering Congress to neo-fascist militias in Ukraine.

Contends that the Biden-Obama Democrats are hypocrites who mourn US school shootings like Uvalde while shipping billions in weapons to what the author calls neo-fascist Ukrainian militias that target ethnic Russian children. Argues that the Ukraine arms pipeline, tied to organized crime, China and the Mexican cartels, amounts to treason and is paving the way for an armed invasion of the US southwest.

Part 5 of this series on the current Ukraine-Russia conflict, caused by murderous provocations and deceptive propaganda from criminal elements of Kipchap Turkic descent, examines how J.R.R. Tolkien based the major battles in "The Lord of the Rings" (LOR) on Russia's centuries of struggle to spare the Christian realm from atrocities and enslavement by these same pagan barbarians.

Argues that J.R.R. Tolkien based 'The Lord of the Rings' Orcs on Turkic 'Kipchak' barbarians whose modern descendants, the author claims, lead Ukraine's Azov Battalion and the Zelensky government. Contends that Russia is the sole defender of Christian Europe against these aggressors, and that the West, manipulated by the Biden administration and 'pseudo-Jew' financiers like Soros, is wrongly arming them.

3-11-22 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFukushima & Nuclear Radiation

They say that time flies but for me at least it seems at least a century has passed since the monstrous Fukushima nuclear reactors ruptures and spent-fuel fires.

Claims that the Fukushima disaster spread catastrophic radioactive contamination across the Pacific and North America, causing mass extinctions, forest fires and birth defects that the author says are wrongly blamed on global warming. Asserts that Russia seized Ukraine's Chernobyl and Zaporizhzhia plants to prevent a suicidal Zelensky from triggering a deliberate meltdown, and that nuclear power amounts to civilizational mass suicide.

3-9-22 · By Yoichi ShimatsuUkraine, Russia & NATO

An embarrassed Pentagon has just denied the validity of all claims of a secret deal with Poland to deliver Warsaw's aging fleet of Soviet-era MiG and Sukhoi warplanes to Ukraine's pilots in exchange for American shipments of shiny new Lockheed Martin F-16s to Warsaw.

Argues that a proposed swap of Polish Soviet-era jets and US F-16s to Ukraine was an Israeli-backed scheme to disguise Ukrainian planes as Russian aircraft for surprise attacks. Claims its US political backers, including senators and congressmen the author labels pedophiles, were tied to abuse networks preying on Ukrainian refugees, and frames the war as a Russian campaign against 'Khazar' pseudo-Jewish control of Ukraine.

3-7-22 · By Yoichi ShimatsuUkraine, Russia & NATO

Ukraine's major cities are now being swarmed by Russian tanks, Sukhoi bombers, organ-pipe rocket launchers, snipers and medics sipping red tea and biting into pirogi while they wait for the inevitable surrender or mete out hell on Earth against the huddled locals, cheated by their politicians, abandoned by NATO "allies" and by now depleted of food supplies.

Contends that Ukrainian President Zelensky is a deluded former comedian whose wartime heroics are CIA-scripted theater, mocking him as a doomed figure abandoned by greedy Western allies who used Ukraine as a bioweapons lab and shooting range. Argues, in satirical form, that Russia's campaign is rational and that Western elites will discard Zelensky once Ukraine is settled.

3-4-22 · By Yoichi ShimatsuUkraine, Russia & NATO

The third part of this Ukraine series examines the underlying issues, political, military and ethnic, involved in the long-simmering clash with Russia, an avoidable crisis that corrupt Ukrainian politicians rejected due to the siren song of serving as a NATO front-line state.

Claims that mainstream media, NGOs and online actors are fabricating a false Ukraine war narrative, alleging staged atrocity footage (such as 'cluster bombs' the author says are Chinese fireworks) and exaggerated casualty counts. Argues that Russia's invasion is a restrained, justified response to NATO expansion and 'Khazar' pseudo-Jewish influence, and that the US should quit NATO and focus on its southern border.

2-28-22 · By Yoichi ShimatsuUkraine, Russia & NATO

Geopolitical over-stretch without any real-world intention of defending Ukraine drops President Joe Biden to the bottom of the list of would-be conquerors, far below Napoleon Bonaparte on a wintry French army retreat from Moscow, Adolf Hitler who threw away his finest shock troops at Stalingrad, and centuries earlier, the crusader Teutonic Knights routed on a frozen lake by the Russ peasant army of Orthodox Tsar Alexander Nevsky.

Contends that Ukraine's defeat was inevitable, blaming decades of NATO 'eastward expansion' that the author traces to Carter-era adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski and a Catholic-CIA-Vatican alliance hostile to Orthodox Russia. Argues, invoking Mackinder's Heartland theory, that NATO is collapsing, that the US should withdraw from Europe to defend its southern border and Taiwan, and warns that refugee children face pedophile networks.

2-24-22 · By Yoichi ShimatsuUkraine, Russia & NATO

The current military setbacks for Ukraine are not as much acts of Russian aggression as they are self-inflicted wounds for NATO and the USA, whose phony “human rights” campaigns and criminal attempts at financial takeover of the former Soviet sphere have incurred the wrath of the traditionalist leader Vladimir Putin, his diplomatic team and Russian military commanders.

Argues that the Ukraine conflict is a self-inflicted NATO debacle and 'Hunter Biden's War' rooted in the Burisma bribery scandal, mocking the absent Hunter Biden. Frames Putin as a traditionalist Orthodox Christian defending the legacy of Kiev Rus against a decadent, corrupt Catholic-and-Jewish-dominated West bent on global domination, and urges Americans to seek dialogue with Russia.

As the countdown begins for the Beijing Winter Olympics, scheduled to start on Friday, February 4, the Chinese capital region is on full alert not only for bioengineered COVID-19 but also a vintage Korean War-era biological weapon called Hantavirus.

Claims that the December 2021 lockdown of Xian, China, was caused not by Ebola (as the author says Dr. Robert Malone falsely asserted) but by Hantavirus, a weapon the author traces to Japan's Unit 731 and the US Army's bioweapons program. Asserts the CIA used such agents in the Korean War and accuses Western bioscientists, including Anthony Fauci, of waging biowarfare against China.

1-14-22 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFukushima & Nuclear Radiation

Hailed as an "artificial sun" by the Chinese news media, a record-setting plasma energy experiment was a triumphant statement from the EAST (Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak) energy laboratory in Hefei, Anhui Province, in east-central China, west of Nanjing.

Argues that China's record-setting EAST fusion reactor, hailed as an 'artificial sun,' is propaganda masking a military program to build a plasma 'super-weapon' for global domination rather than clean energy. Contends that fusion and 'green energy' are pretexts for weapons development, warns of radioactive contamination and meltdown risks, and casts doubt on technology over human resolve.

12-3-21 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFinance & Corporate Power

A Merry Xmas has arrived early for thieves.

Contends that the wave of 'smash and grab' retail robberies is organized economic warfare, abetted by Democrat-run cities, insurance fraud and China, aimed at destroying US retail, the dollar and brick-and-mortar commerce to make America a colony dependent on Chinese logistics. Memorializes slain security guard Kevin Nishita and reflects at length on gang psychology and Pure Land Buddhism.

The snoring and mumbling at the 26th annual session of the UN climate-change assembly, COP 26, has just ended in Glasgow, Scotland, without any productive action other than Secret Service officers rushing a confused Joe Biden out of a private meeting with Elon Musk and Leonardo Dicaprio.

Claims that the UN COP26 Glasgow climate summit promoted a discredited global-warming 'hoax,' arguing that COVID-era emission cuts did not cool the planet. Asserts that 'green' technologies such as solar, geothermal, wind, algae and nuclear are more harmful and costly than fossil fuels, and that climate policy masks an agenda of population culling and foreign financial takeover of US energy.

Round 2 of the virus war against the American republic just fell flat on its face, indeed boomeranged back onto the enemy Triple Alliance of China-Mexico revolucionarios, Biritish-Japan reactionaries and the Jesuit Vatican's henchmen Tony Fauci and the Bidens.

Claims that an October 2021 outbreak of MERS in New Mexico was a deliberate biowarfare attack on US defense sites, allegedly sprayed from Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic flight and a driverless vehicle by a China-Britain-Japan-Vatican alliance. Asserts the attack 'boomeranged' onto Mexican forces, and traces coronaviruses and bioweapons labs (blaming figures like Fauci) back to the American Southwest's ancient camels.

To paraphrase Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar", I speak now to bury Colin Powell, not to praise him, for the evil that men do lives after them while the truth is so often interred with their bones.

Argues that media praise for the late Colin Powell buries his alleged role, as a Kissinger aide, in covering up the 'Secret War' in Laos, including claims that Special Operations teams massacred Hmong allies and abandoned or killed American servicemen to keep the operation secret. Links this to his later false WMD claims on Iraq and warns against leaders with colonial-empire loyalties.

(The full text of this article could not be automatically retrieved from the source page; date is approximate.)

Per its title, contends that a failed coup attributed to the Biden administration and Jesuit influence prompted the staging of Haitian refugee crowds at the Texas-Mexico border. Argues these migrant masses were orchestrated rather than spontaneous, framing the border situation as a politically engineered operation. (Summary based on title; article body could not be retrieved.)

On this grim 20th anniversary, I break my long silence on 911 during the extended research on the motivating factors that caused the destruction of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, from the religious rationale and financial interests involved in that operation to with the methods and technologies used for the demolition of the twin towers along with aircraft guidance system used to divert public attention away from the rigging of explosives inside the WTC complex.

Argues that the 9/11 World Trade Center towers were brought down not by the jetliner impacts alone but by a controlled demolition, with explosive charges secretly placed in tunnels beneath the towers. Claims the true culprits were a Mossad-CIA operation serving the WTC's Jewish owner, the Clintons, Israel and OPEC interests, citing alleged advance warnings as evidence of insider foreknowledge.

The Biden White House's treachery has disgracefully ended two decades of an American military presence in Afghanistan much like Henry Kissinger's back-stabbing that sabotaged any possibility for a multi-party resolution to the Vietnam War.

Contends that the chaotic 2021 US withdrawal from Afghanistan resulted from a failed CIA-Jesuit-MI6 scheme, claiming Biden overestimated a secret alliance with the Taliban that British intelligence had cultivated via the Deobandi sect. Asserts Biden intended to use the Taliban to open a second front against Russia in service of a Vatican-Jesuit globalist agenda under Pope Francis.

The sporting world is waiting for the next pin to drop in Tokyo where extreme heat, high humidity and the double whammy of Fukushima-sourced radioactivity and the harmful effects of COVID vaccines have relentlessly felled athletes, coaches and support staff at the pandemic-delayed 2020 Summer Olympics.

Claims the Tokyo Olympics were a health catastrophe caused by an 'evil synergy' of COVID vaccination and lingering Fukushima radiation, which the author says explains athletes' collapses and poor performances. Asserts COVID was a lab-created bioweapon and demands that officials and scientists such as Yoshihiro Kawaoka and Anthony Fauci face execution for it.

For reference to those unfamiliar with my decade of field work inside the Fukushima nuclear exclusion zone and other fallout-affected areas from the Antarctic Sea to the North Pole, across Japan to the Pacific Northwest, most of my eyewitness accounts and scientific probings are posted at On this solemn occasion, let me praise our colleagues Jeff Rense and Dana Durnford, along with other honest sources in this long and difficult campaign to disclose the truth about the political, military and mercenary causes and consequences of the Fukushima nuclear disaster versus government cover-ups, craven academic avoidance and blatantly false media disinformation on behalf of the militarist nuclear industry and its attack dogs, the nuclear physicists.

Marking a decade since Fukushima, contends that the disaster's true causes and consequences have been buried by an industry-government cover-up. Claims the meltdowns were triggered by a solar coronal mass ejection plus a hidden underground nuclear-warhead production site that violated non-proliferation treaties, and asserts that the resulting radioactivity has spread death and extinction across the Pacific and North America.

The revival of the Chinese opioid threat to Americans and citizens of a hundred nations prompts my reorganization of related articles into a series titled "Borderland Afire", starting retroactively with my 2019 account of the wave of arson against homes, cultural centers and horse stables in Southern California perpetrated by illegal alien terrorists of the Make America Mexico Again (MAMA) movement, which is now hatching wider paramilitary operations as seen in the targeted assassination with a Made in China AK rifle (modeled after the infamous Kalashnikov AK-47) to gun down the bravest lawman in the American West, New Mexico state trooper Darian Jarrott.

Argues that a China-Mexican Cartel alliance, abetted by Biden's border policies, is waging chemical warfare on the US by smuggling fentanyl and opioids, including via drones and satellites, into the Southwest. Claims DACA 'Dreamers' are being recruited as Cartel killers and 'Satanists,' citing a deadly New Mexico shootout, and accuses Kamala Harris of protecting drug traffickers.

2-10-21 · By Yoichi ShimatsuPandemics & Biowarfare

In a road race against the Arctic Vortez, I took my leave, graciously, from a dear friend who a few days earlier had suffered four fractures on her now tape-wrapped leg.

Contends that a Cartel-China-Democrat drug alliance is behind a surge of violence along the New Mexico border, blaming Biden's halt to border-wall construction. Centers on the killing of a state police officer assigned to Homeland Security drug investigations, and claims the Cartel and Chinese suppliers are grooming illegal-immigrant children and 'Dreamers' into hitmen and dealers.

Being on the road for field research toward rolling back the cultural genocide of American society by politically correct fanatics, this part 29 of my coronavirus-biowarfare series has to be shorter than the usual in-depth essay indicting the medical sector, pharmaceuticals and murderous bureaucrat biowarriors.

Argues that the Pfizer mRNA COVID vaccine is 'worse than the disease,' claiming it dangerously overstimulates the immune system into deadly 'cytokine storms,' especially in people previously exposed to the virus. Asserts COVID-19 is an engineered bioweapon spliced with HIV and bovine tuberculosis genes, downplays the pandemic's severity, and accuses Pfizer and Democrat officials of profiteering and mass harm.

12-5-20 · By Yoichi ShimatsuUS Politics & Elections

A fiery desert sunset along the southwestern edge of the oil-rich Permian Basin enticed me to pull off into a rest stop along Highway 10 in west Texas.

Claims the December 2020 collapse of Puerto Rico's Arecibo radio telescope was not an accident but deliberate sabotage by Jesuit-linked operatives, allegedly to avenge an earlier controversy over the Vatican Observatory's 'LUCIFER' telescope. Frames it within a broader theory of Jesuit and Opus Dei control over US institutions and Joe Biden as their instrument.

11-20-20 · By Yoichi ShimatsuPandemics & Biowarfare

Allow me, for starters, to confess my admiration for Selene, heroine of the "Underworld" movie series about conflicted vampires-and-werewolves.

Contends that the Obama administration's National Security Council team, including Joe Biden and Susan Rice, funded the gain-of-function research that the author says created COVID-19 as a bioweapon. Asserts Obama bears ultimate responsibility for the virus's enhanced virulence while Biden oversaw the day-to-day funding, framing the pandemic as a deliberate engineered catastrophe.

11-15-20 · By Yoichi ShimatsuUS Politics & Elections

After being "encouraged" to leave several countries of Asia due to my attempts at instilling truthful journalism among their youth and resistance to censorship, I have since been traveling throughout the USA.

Claims that Joe Biden is an enforcer for a Jesuit-Illuminati globalist network, tied to the Knights of Malta and Vatican, pursuing centuries-old designs against Orthodox and Protestant Christendom. Alleges this cabal orchestrated 2020 election fraud, the Bidens' Ukraine intrigues, COVID, and CIA covert operations, framing Biden as a tool of Pope-led warmongering elites.

11-12-20 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFukushima & Nuclear Radiation

The government of Japan is now setting the time-table for release of more than 1 million tons of water from containment from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant.

Argues that TEPCO's plan to release stored Fukushima water into the Pacific, announced ahead of the Tokyo Olympics, would spread radioactive cesium, strontium and tritium that the author says the filtration system fails to remove. Claims contaminated water already taints Tokyo's drinking supply and threatens marine life and humans, and proposes alternatives such as leasing supertankers for storage.

7-20-20 · By Yoichi ShimatsuChina & Asia-Pacific

Apres moi le Deluge.

Contends that China's Three Gorges Dam is structurally defective, citing reported cracks and substandard steel, and warns that 2020's severe Yangtze flooding could rupture it and devastate cities like Wuhan and Nanjing. Frames the dam crisis as part of a disastrous year for China that the author links to drought and an alleged biowarfare attack at the Wuhan Military Games.

7-15-20 · By Yoichi ShimatsuPandemics & Biowarfare

The major topic of Part 26 is the stunning discovery in Barcelona of COVID in a frozen sewage sample from 16 months ago, which was a half-year prior to the biological warfare attack against the CISM World Military Games at Wuhan.

Argues that the detection of the coronavirus in archived March 2019 Barcelona sewage sludge proves COVID predates the Wuhan outbreak and originated in British rather than Chinese labs. Asserts this finding discredits the 'Wuhan bat' theory and points to a Western bioweapon origin, part of the author's series tracing the pandemic to UK and allied research facilities.

7-12-20 · By Yoichi ShimatsuPandemics & Biowarfare

After beating the drum about the bioengineering of COVID-19 spliced with bovine tuberculosis (b-TB) and HIV, I am relieve to see several scientific studies are now being pursued on the relationship of early childhood BCG inoculation (against tuberculosis) to adulthood immunity against coronavirus infection during this worldwide pandemic.

Contends that the observed correlation between BCG tuberculosis vaccination and reduced COVID severity proves the virus was bioengineered by splicing in a tuberculosis gene segment. Argues that researchers stop short of admitting this, and frames the finding as evidence implicating the Obama administration and Western labs in deliberately engineering the coronavirus.

6-20-20 · By Yoichi ShimatsuPandemics & Biowarfare

News Flash - The sanitation department in the Milan-Lombardy region of Italy recently discovered COV-contaminated samples from some 40 monitoring stations through the sewage systems dating back to early-to-mid December before China announced discovery of the first infection.

Argues that COVID outbreaks at Wuhan and Beijing seafood markets prove the virus spread via contaminated imported fish, such as trout passed off as Norwegian salmon, rather than from bats. Claims this 'fish vector' demonstrates a deliberate biowarfare origin and discredits the official Wuhan bat narrative, fitting the author's broader theory of an engineered pandemic.

News flash: Once again, you've read it here first, months earlier and miles ahead of the media pack, about COV testing in badgers from the Mustalidae biological family by DHS-NIH funded COVID biowarfare program in Bristol, England.

Continuing the author's coronavirus-as-bioweapon series, this installment ties together the death of a Chinese envoy in Israel, coronavirus infection in mink, and the use of leeches to remove blood clots in COVID-19 patients. (The article body on this page is served as a non-machine-readable image and could not be read directly; this summary is drawn from the title and series context.)

News flash: NATO silence on the cororavirus biological-weapon attack at the CISM World Military Games in Wuhan has been broken by French soldier-athletes disclosing their COV infections during those athletic contests two months prior to the Wuhan fish market outbreak, as I have been indicating all along.

Contends that COVID-19 was a biological weapon deliberately released against athletes at the October 2019 CISM World Military Games in Wuhan, pointing to French competitors' reported illnesses as proof and accusing the UK, Canada, Japan and the University of Wisconsin of co-developing it. Argues that the mysterious 'Kawasaki disease'-like inflammatory syndrome in children originated from nuclear-test radiation effects on wildlife immune systems and was later incorporated into bioweapons research.

5-6-20 · By Yoichi ShimatsuPandemics & Biowarfare

The most galling aspect of Beijing's shameless behavior in the coronavirus pandemic is its arrogant attitude of "victory" after so many reckless policy decisions in the Wuhan crisis, including permitting outbound flights of its citizens without COV testing, repeated under-counts of coronavirus deaths, appalling rights violations of Wuhan residents and unprecedented censorship, all unworthy of a major power.

Argues that while China behaved arrogantly and dishonestly during the pandemic, it lacked the bioengineering sophistication to create COVID-19, making Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's accusations of a Chinese lab origin 'laughable.' Claims Pompeo's attacks conveniently divert blame from the true perpetrators, and asserts that an emergency-room doctor was 'suicided' by a 'too big to fail' health syndicate.

Here at long last in the 21st part of this series, we close in on the missing link in the bio-engineering of SARS-COV2 (COVID-19) after debunking the bat-origin disinfo and focusing on the nearest possible zoonotic host species, Meles meles of the Mustelidae, commonly known as the badger as the closest match with humans for type B coronavirus infection.

Claims that a tuberculosis gene spliced into SARS-CoV-2 is the 'smoking gun' proving COVID-19 is a bioengineered weapon, traced to DHS-NIH-funded badger TB research at the University of Bristol. Asserts the Obama administration's lifting of the gain-of-function research ban enabled its creation, and alleges the attack was launched at the Wuhan military games by hidden enemies including the UK, Australia, Japan and Israel.

4-22-20 · By Yoichi ShimatsuPandemics & Biowarfare

Contrary to inflated fears of coronavirus cross-infection aboard airliners, the major vector for the worldwide spread of COVID-19 has been primarily due to the jet stream delivering virus loads over major cities, which attract virus fallout due to the Urban Heat Island effect.

Contends that the primary global vector for COVID-19 was not air travel but the jet stream carrying virus loads from Chinese cremation pyres at Wuhan and Chongqing, which then fell onto major cities concentrated by the 'Urban Heat Island' effect. Links the altered jet stream pattern to a Polar Vortex supposedly created by the Fukushima nuclear disaster's impact on the Arctic.

The resurfacing of issues already dealt with here, such as why some young people immunized in childhood for tuberculosis showed apparent resistant to COVID-19 but "unexpectedly" then came down with a "second infection".

Continuing the author's coronavirus-as-bioweapon series, this installment alleges that SARS-CoV-2 and other dangerous pathogens were developed at Canada's National Microbiology Laboratory and related 'doomsday labs.' (The article body on this page is served as a non-machine-readable image and could not be read directly; this summary is drawn from the title and series context.)

Several European countries found Chinese-made COVID-19 rapid test kits to be defective with a high rate of false negatives.

Claims that Chinese-made rapid COVID-19 test kits marketed via Alibaba had a 70-80 percent failure rate because they used questionable or chemically disinfected blood serum from supposed recovered patients of uncertain origin. Argues Chinese authorities and Alibaba are liable for medical malpractice, and ties the broader bioweapons story to figures such as Fauci and virologist Kawaoka.

The craving for sugar, carbs in cake and donuts, most fruit and super-sweet GM corn, soft drinks, pizza and sushi is the slippery slope down to illness, disease, death and, worse, weakness of spirit and mental loss of direction.

Argues that diets high in sugar, carbs and vegan/plant foods weaken immunity by introducing microorganisms and zoonotic viruses into the gut, while animal fats and meat protect against coronavirus. Cites a Chinese study of low cholesterol in COVID-19 patients and the author's own beef-and-red-wine regimen in Beijing as evidence, while also touching on US-made therapeutics, FDA serum policy and a Wenzhou-Italy infection link.

Noted here is the absence of a Jesuit pontiff when humanity, especially in Catholic-majority Italy, is beset with a demonic of coronavirus contagion when palpable fear spreads due to an official Italian state policy of euthanasia by neglect for the abandoned elderly.

Contends that Italy's heavy COVID-19 toll reflects a state policy of 'euthanasia by neglect' toward the abandoned elderly, and laments the Catholic Church's and a non-Jesuit pontiff's failure to provide hospices and martyr-like care. Frames the pandemic in apocalyptic, demonic terms and revisits the author's claims about a 'Tulane denial' regarding engineered pathogens.

On a long bicycle ride to a lemonade and Checkers double-burger topped with crisp-fired onions before the coming COV lockdown, I suddenly swerved to avert rolling over a massive Norway rat with exploded guts being dined on by a swarm of flies.

Asserts that a hantavirus death in China during the COVID-19 outbreak signals a 'double-whammy' second plague, and links hantavirus to a lineage of biological-warfare research running from Japan's Unit 731 to the CIA. Opens with an anecdotal premonition narrative before arguing that engineered pathogens reflect deliberate biowarfare programs.

3-15-20 · By Yoichi ShimatsuPandemics & Biowarfare

Now we've reached Part 13 of this coronavirus series, moving ever closer on to the chief suspects in the deadly game of bio-warfare.

Claims that COVID-19 is a hybrid bioweapon assembled at Britain's Porton Down/Salisbury facilities, with DARPA and the Pirbright Institute implicated, and notes Russian accusations to that effect. Frames the virus as a botched product of a revived British imperial bioweapons tradition, and discusses chloroquine versus Indian cow-urine remedies as part of the wider series.

Warfare by synthetic biology has begun the decimation of the armed forces of half the participant nations at the CISM World Military Games held in Wuhan in late October.

Argues that COVID-19 is a stealth bioweapon engineered to kill targeted soldiers and civilians, deployed against athletes at the Wuhan World Military Games by virologists serving Japanese and British imperial interests seeking to restore colonial mercantilism. Claims the virus combines a stripped-down SARS core with HIV proteins inserted by a Japanese microbiologist at the University of Wisconsin.

News Flash 2: Initial pathologist findings, still to be confirmed and documented with data from autopsies on the tissues of the dead, indicate the HIV-modified coronavirus targets the sperm-production tubes in testicles, which accounts for the disproportionate male death rate in Wuhan.

Contends that COVID-19 is an HIV-modified coronavirus prototyped by University of Wisconsin researcher Yoshihiro Kawaoka, citing an early Dane County, Wisconsin infection. Claims the virus selectively targets male reproductive tissue to reduce the male population, framing this as part of a 'feminist-driven' social-engineering agenda of population reduction through mass murder.

At last, the World Health Organization (WHO) is including "ethics" on the list of priorities for its campaign against the worldwide spread of the renamed COVID-19 outbreak.

Warns that biotech and pharmaceutical companies are committing fraud by hyping gene-tampering therapies and unproven cures for COVID-19 to enrich themselves and lure investors. Advises readers to distrust these NASDAQ-listed firms and instead rely on simple home remedies like hot tea with lemon and chicken soup, while citing the WHO's cautions against genetic tampering.

For a hard-hearted globalist elite with predatory instincts, there's a silver lining to the Malthusian pandemic in Wuhan.

Claims that a globalist elite views the Wuhan coronavirus as a welcome Malthusian tool for 'geronticide'—culling elderly pensioners to relieve strained government budgets—because the HIV-modified, age-selective virus kills the old while sparing the young. Argues this mass elimination would free up tax revenues for investment in markets and hedge funds.

With the University of Delhi and Indian Institute of Technology lab findings of HIV proteins embedded in the coronavirus, it's no secret now that the Wuhan CoV is a biological weapon based on the original HIV-flu chimera bio-engineered by virologist Yoshihiro Kawaoka as reported in his paper published by the Journal of Virology in September 2011.

Asserts that Indian research findings of HIV proteins in the coronavirus confirm Wuhan CoV is a bioweapon based on an HIV-flu chimera engineered by virologist Yoshihiro Kawaoka, who allegedly moved his work from Wisconsin to Japanese institutions tied to Shinzo Abe. Frames a prior swine flu as 'Round 1' and calls for Kawaoka's interrogation and extradition on mass-murder conspiracy charges.

Have a sip of Assam tea while pondering how four GP120 and Gag protein strands from HIV, the virus associated with AIDS, just happen to be strategically located inside this SARS-modified virus.

Contends that an Indian Institute of Technology and University of Delhi RNA analysis finding four HIV-related protein inserts in the Wuhan coronavirus is 'smoking gun' evidence that the virus was lab-engineered. Names microbiologist Yoshihiro Kawaoka as the culprit, citing his 2011 University of Wisconsin paper modifying viruses with HIV proteins as the prototype for COVID-19.

Eight years on, radioactivity is spewing out of Fukushima unchecked after highly publicized efforts by the nuclear industry and regulatory authorities to block radioactive leakage have been quietly dropped following repeated failures.

Argues that eight years on, radioactivity continues spewing uncontrolled from Fukushima after the nuclear industry quietly abandoned cleanup efforts, and claims a media campaign denies the ongoing health threat. Cites swimmer Rikako Ikee's leukemia diagnosis as evidence, and warns that staging the Tokyo Olympics amounts to courting 'global genocide' by exposing athletes and visitors to radiation.

A quiet clamor has forced the speed-up of my perusal of the puzzling case of Jussie Smollett, the “Empire” star who arranged his own “lynching” in a supposed “white racist” attack on this gay black man, since exposed as a self-perpetrated hoax.

Claims that actor Jussie Smollett's staged hoax attack was actually an attempt to ward off a satanic cult operating in 'Black Hollywood,' framing the incident through demonology and Satanology. Links the media silence to a supposed Clinton-Podesta cabal and the Bronfman dynasty's alleged cultic sexual-domination network.

Pardon my dissenting opinion out of step with unanimous praise from movie critics for “Roma” since in my humble opinion this film is not only a falsified memoir but also delivers up apologetics for the Mexico City CIA station’s record of lies and brutality against idealist students during the Vietnam War era, along with being a sick glorification of Yanqui indulgence in the rough trade out of the rightist Falcons militia.

Contends that Alfonso Cuaron's acclaimed film 'Roma' is a falsified memoir that sanitizes and provides apologetics for the CIA's Mexico City station and its alleged lies and brutality against student activists during the Vietnam War era. Dismisses critics' unanimous praise and frames the film as glorifying US indulgence and the rightist Halcones militia.

The faith healer known as "Joao de Deus" or John of God, real name Joao Teixeira de Faria, was such a powerful presence that Oprah Winfrey fainted in his arms in ecstatic bliss on her 2010 visit to his compound in Abadiana, southern Brazil, an experience powerful enough to be shown a one-hour special on her show endorsing his spiritual presence.

Claims that the arrest of Brazilian faith healer 'John of God' (Joao Teixeira de Faria)—accused of confining young women to bear babies and then having the mothers murdered—revives and lends credence to the 'Pizzagate' conspiracy theory. Cites whistleblower Sabrina Bittencourt and suggests her death was suspicious, while noting Oprah Winfrey's past endorsement of the healer.

Let's uncork another bottle of bubbly AOC (Appellation of Origin under Control) from a region as temperamental as those commanderies of the Knights Templars.

Asserts that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez emerged from a deep occult milieu and that her Hindu campaign manager is tied to the Transcendental Meditation movement, characterized as a money-laundering 'mind-control cult' founded by a guru John Lennon denounced as a fraud and predator. Links TM to Hollywood anti-Trump figures and filmmaker David Lynch.

If only the Pied Piperess of Westchester County was luring armies of rats out of the Bronx and into the ocean instead of enticing America's naive children toward a massacre.

Contends that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a deceptive 'anointed princess' of a Jesuit-Illuminati cabal and Soros-funded operatives who is luring naive young supporters toward a totalitarian, 'post-human' future under the guise of utopian socialism. Argues her socialist promises are fairy tales, citing the historical failure of socialist economic models.

As in past bird flu and melamine milk scandals, China's official response to yet another major threat to China's public health and food security is another round of censorship.

Argues that China is concealing a devastating African swine fever outbreak through censorship, as the virus, which kills 100 percent of infected pigs, spreads across many provinces and threatens to exterminate the nation's more than one billion hogs. Claims a slow official response and a declining rural media leave Chinese diners unaware of the looming food-security crisis.

The closest it gets to an old-style sorceress casting an evil spell over a gullible public was the bizarre performance by psychologist Christine Blasey Ford during her testimony at the Senate about her alleged half-night stand with four male Yale students supposedly including Brett Kavanaugh (who was a high schooler at the time at Georgetown prep).

Claims that Christine Blasey Ford's Senate testimony against Brett Kavanaugh was a manipulative 'sorceress' performance and an 'MK-ULTRA'-style stunt designed to intimidate compromised lawmakers. Asserts the media suppressed her admission that no rape occurred, and frames the episode within alleged CIA-NSA blackmail operations.

The ouster of Ian Buruma from his editorship at the New York Review of Books should not come as a surprise since the question arises: Why in the first place was such a diehard conservative historian from the tail-end of British and Dutch colonialism installed at that standard bearer of political correctness in literature?

Questions the official explanation that New York Review of Books editor Ian Buruma was ousted merely for publishing a #MeToo-offending essay, arguing this pretext is illogical. Contends Buruma was a 'covert fraud'—a colonial-minded conservative implausibly installed at a politically correct journal—and that a more hidden reason lay behind his dismissal.

In a predominantly one-child per couple society, Chinese parents and grandparents have been alarmed and distressed since mid-July by a malpracticde scandal involving falsification of data on rabies vaccines, following a string of alarming online reports of toxic vaccines.

Claims that tainted vaccines produced by China's privately owned Changsheng Life Sciences—implicated in falsified rabies vaccine data and an earlier defective DPT vaccine—endangered Chinese children, and links this 'slaughter of innocents' to Bill Gates. Argues Beijing responded with censorship and arrests rather than transparency after the scandal interrupted a memorial event.

The executions by hanging of Aum Shinrikyo leaders, including cult figurehead Shoko Asahara, chief arms dealer Kiyohide Hayakawa and five others implicated in a murder spree including the 1995 Tokyo subway gassing, were a perversion of justice.

Argues that the executions of Aum Shinrikyo leaders, including Shoko Asahara, were a 'perversion of justice' because they silenced lower figures while shielding higher-up political sponsors. Claims the cult's 1995 Tokyo subway gassing was a planned coup attempt against the Diet, and asserts that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, as an alleged sponsor, should likewise hang.

The wild-eyed Democrat heroine (that’s with an “e”) Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is yet another spooky creature from the NSA-CIA’s bag of dirty tricks, assembled by the clever Jesuits from various moving parts from the intelligence-mafia’s supply room.

Claims that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a 'cyber-puppet' manufactured by the NSA-CIA and Jesuits to serve an 'Obama-CIA race war,' groomed as a future presidential candidate akin to Hillary Clinton. Alleges her supposedly shoestring campaign was funded by operatives with deep intelligence connections, including Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks.

More than 20 years after challenging the mainstream media cover-up of the political role of Aum Shinrikyo in the Tokyo subway gassing, writer-artist Garry Greenwood and I recently reconnected in the most unlikely place: Nanjing.

Contends, alongside collaborator Garry Greenwood, that the Japanese Mahikari sect concealed dark origins connected to the 1937 Nanjing Massacre. Links the sect to the same militarist-occult currents the author associates with Aum Shinrikyo, framing it as part of a hidden history of Japanese cults tied to wartime atrocities.

The FBI has been cynically exploiting the Tianjin Six trial along with charges against other Chinese researchers in its effort to divert public attention away from a much more insidious homemade threat to American society, official involvement of Obama-era officials in the Pizzagate child-trafficking scandal.

Contends that Trump's blocking of Broadcom's Qualcomm takeover undercut a Justice Department economic-espionage case against six Chinese scientists, arguing the FBI exploited the prosecution to distract from alleged official involvement in a 'Pizzagate' child-trafficking scandal. Claims Broadcom is a monopolistic patent abuser and that the case against the researchers was an intimidation tactic rather than legitimate security enforcement.

The father of Parkland gun-control agitator David Hogg is employed by defense contractor Cubic Simulation Systems.

Asserts that Parkland student activist David Hogg's father, a former FBI agent, works for defense contractor Cubic Simulation Systems, which makes laser-aimed shooter-training rifles allegedly matching the weapon used in the attack. Claims the Hogg family are disinformation agents for the military-industrial complex who stand to profit from selling simulators to police, framing their gun-control advocacy as a sham.

FLASH - The sole video showing ‘suspect’ Nikolas de Jesus Cruz, on February 14 taken more than an hour after the Parkland school shooting, was recorded by a security camera of the CHAI CHABAD HOUSE of the Lubavitcher-Shomrim ultraOrthodox Jewish cult on 5761 Coral Ridge Drive (located inside the northwest bend of Sawgrass Parkway - Hwy 869), just minutes before his arrest on the U-shaped Wyndham Lakes Drive, no. 4700, which has no exit except Coral Ridge Drive.

Argues that the 'March for Our Lives' gun-control movement, ostensibly led by Parkland students like David Hogg and Cameron Kasky, is actually a CIA- and Soros-backed political operation fronted by lobby group Everytown for Gun Safety and tied to intelligence figures. Claims the campaign is a manipulative psyop aimed at undermining the Trump administration rather than a genuine youth initiative.

One of the anomalies from the Fukushima nuclear disaster is that releases of radioactive isotopes throughout the Pacific Basin are far greater in quantity than what’s indicated on the ground in northeast Japan.

Contends that the Fukushima disaster's vast radioactive contamination of the Pacific cannot be explained by the TEPCO reactors alone, and that secret nuclear-weapons production facilities in the greater Fukushima region leaked far more radioactivity. Claims official tolerance of unchecked venting and wastewater releases, citing the author's research visits and a film, asserts the leaks killed thousands while Japan itself remained relatively unharmed.

Before delving into the sordid details, it should be noted that in the morning of the same Valentine's Day massacre, that three young men in a truck drove without a permit onto the grounds of the NSA headquarters at Fort Meade, Maryland.

Claims that the Parkland shooting was a staged operation tied to alleged pedophile and 'Zionist vigilante' networks in Broward County, advancing antisemitic theories about Nikolas Cruz's supposed bloodline. Argues that no witness positively identified Cruz as the shooter, that fire alarms were used to herd victims, and that he could have been a patsy who escaped or was framed.

The congresswoman from Broward Country, Florida, had this to say in the wake of the school massacre in her district: "We must do something about this senseless epidemic of gun violence and we must do it now."

Contends that the Parkland massacre was timed to rescue Democrats, particularly Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Ted Deutch, from scrutiny over the Imran Awan congressional IT 'spy scandal.' Links the shooting to alleged DNC-connected deaths and organized-crime history in Broward County, framing the attack as a political distraction benefiting endangered Democratic incumbents.

Here, Part 3 and last of a series analyzing the transcript of the Senate Judicial hearing of August 22, 2017, exposes how Barack Obama's cronies who profited from the Uranium One deal with Russia aided in concert with the notorious Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya and her bellhop Glenn Simpson, founder of Fusion GPS and front-man for the CIA forgery known as the Trump-Russia Dossier.

Claims, citing Senate testimony, that the Democrats' dossier team and Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, working with Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson, were operating to undo the Magnitsky Act sanctions and defend Prevezon Holdings. Asserts the Trump Tower meeting was a Democrat-engineered set-up and that the dossier was a forgery created to distract from a tax-fraud prosecution.

It sometimes happens during hunting season that the quarry suddenly pops its head out of hole, like a whack-a-mole, then finds itself stunned at spotting your red jacket.

Analyzing the Senate Judiciary transcript of Glenn Simpson's testimony, argues that Simpson, as head of Fusion GPS, acted as a paid tactician and publicist for Kremlin-linked interests opposing the Magnitsky Act and proponent William Browder. Asserts the Trump-Russia dossier was a CIA-White House-backed forgery and criticizes Sen. Feinstein for shielding Simpson from incriminating disclosures.

Last things first, meaning that this article must lead off with a look at why Sen. Dianne Feinstein released, without authorization, an online file of the transcript from the Senate Judiciary closed-door hearing of August 22 on Fusion GPS, the research team that produced the Trump-Russia Dossier.

Opening an analysis of the Senate Judiciary transcript, contends that Fusion GPS was hired by Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya to fight Russian sanctions two months before the Trump Tower meeting, overlapping with its Hillary-campaign dossier contract. Asserts the Trump-Russia dossier was, from inception, a cynical forgery fabricated to implicate candidate Trump.

Forgive Steve Bannon for the intoxicated rants that precipitated his banishment from the populist movement that he once led, especially now at this crossroads moment when their president is facing an onslaught of vicious lies and sabotage from deep state operatives of Jewish persuasion.

Argues that Steve Bannon was merely a 'useful idiot' for Zionism, asserting that Breitbart News was founded as a pro-Israel, Netanyahu-aligned outlet financed to counter liberal Jewish groups. Advances antisemitic claims that Bannon and the late Andrew Breitbart served as fronts for Israeli interests and that his political downfall reflected his subservience to such backers.

Before signing off before the onset of a turbulent 2018, I note in passing one of this past year's more noxious items of fake news, which deserves to be doused with a hose-down of cold reality.

Dismisses as 'hokum' online theories that 'blue laser' directed-energy weapons ignited the California and Pacific Northwest firestorms, calling such posts disinformation psy-ops designed to spread paranoia. Instead contends the real cause was radioactive fallout from the Fukushima meltdowns lodged in western forests, arguing the laser claims divert victims from pursuing legal redress against the nuclear industry.

More than 22 years after the assassination of Vince Foster Jr., clumsily faked as a suicide in Fort Marcy Park, McLean, Virginia, his ghost returns during the Russia dossier controversy to haunt the treacherous crew at the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI, who've protected his erstwhile law partner Hillary Clinton.

Contends that the Trump-Russia dossier has 'dark roots' in Clinton-era Arkansas scandals, linking it to the death of Vince Foster, the INSLAW/PROMIS software theft, and Whitewater. Asserts that the FBI and DOJ were knowingly 'in on the plot' against Trump, noting that Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson's wife had DOJ ties, and advances claims that Soros manipulated Jared Kushner.

Existentialism has something to do with hopeless battles to revive dying brain matter, the early dementia of the sane, so I guess I am still an existentialist, though with little if any hope to proffer to the living dead who surround me like a forest after a wildfire.

Argues that Mark Zuckerberg's tightening of Facebook 'standards' amounts to importing Chinese-style censorship and 'social mind control' into the West, claiming he serves as a 'Manchurian Candidate' for Chinese ideologue Wang Huning. Asserts a globalized program of mass numbing and surveillance is replacing democratic discourse, framing it in derogatory and antisemitic terms.

The bent-knee protest by NFL players fixates media attention and raises controversy over unequal justice, but the moral indignation cast upon 'The Star-Spangled Banner' is seriously misguided.

Argues that NFL players kneeling during the national anthem dishonor the American flag and the sacrifices of Black soldiers such as the 54th Massachusetts Regiment and Buffalo Soldiers who fought despite racial injustice. Contends that protest fixated on 'narcissistic identity politics' yields to defeatism, urging players to stand and honor the flag's history of advancing freedom and civil rights.

As Maria is downgraded on its path into the Atlantic, few Americans realize that hurricane-damaged Puerto Rico is not a sovereign nation-state but is instead under suzerainty to the dominant United States.

Contends that Hurricane Maria has forced Puerto Rico's debt and depopulation crisis to the forefront, exposing its status as a dependent US territory facing a choice between statehood, independence, or continued decline. Argues Washington is reluctant to confront the costly bailout and is using confrontation with North Korea to distract taxpayers from the island's looming financial burden.

The ancient stones rattle. With a toss of his tail, the mighty one veers into the dark passage toward his throne under the sea.

Claims that radioactivity from the Fukushima meltdowns, plus Hanford and Diablo Canyon, rather than carbon emissions, drove extreme weather, asserting radioactive plumes knocked Earth off its axis and pushed the jetstream southward. Argues the resulting Rossby waves and wildfire radioactivity spurred Hurricanes Harvey and Irma and Mexico's Chiapas earthquake, warning of escalating planetary catastrophe.

When Irma made final landfall on the Continental USA at 5 p.m. on Sunday, September 10, at Naples, Florida, 'the greatest storm ever' (a big lie, if ever) was by then winding down to a Category 2.

Contends that saturation media coverage of Hurricane Irma was a 'disinfo' stunt that buried a key 9/11 anniversary story: WTC injury victims suing the FBI to release some 80,000 classified files on alleged Saudi involvement. Argues such disclosure would corroborate 'truther' suspicions that the attacks were an inside job, and that Irma was hyped to distract the public.

The eerie green glow in the night sky above Mexico City before and during the Richter 8 earthquake is not as mysterious as the news reports suggest.

Argues that the green glow reported over Mexico City during its magnitude-8 earthquake was caused by radioactive argon isotopes and the Cherenkov Effect, not a mystery. Contends that Fukushima radioactivity, having burned away protective ozone and driven the jetstream, is the true driver of the simultaneous earthquake and hurricanes, framing the events as omens of a Fukushima-caused global cataclysm.

Hunkered down in a wine cellar in the Irma-hit eastern Caribbean, the climate-change 'hero' who owns an airline and made his fortune from plastic (discs for music LP records) Richard Branson reports that his vacation home on Necker Island, British Virgin Islands, is totally devastated.

Claims that Richard Branson's decision to ride out Hurricane Irma on his Necker Island estate was a publicity stunt to promote climate-change theory and a Rothschild-backed global climate tax ahead of the COP23 Bonn conference. Argues that storm damage stemmed from flimsy construction and weakened building codes rather than global warming, dismissing Branson as a billionaire 'climate faker.'

One of the most despicable responses to the Houston flood, besides the ransacking of neighbors' homes and deliberate releases of toxic chemicals, is how proponents of climate change theory have taken advantage of the calamity to push the notion that global warming caused Hurricane Harvey.

Contends that Hurricane Harvey's record rainfall was caused by nuclear effects, not carbon emissions or global warming, asserting Fukushima meltdowns expanded the Arctic ozone hole and tilted the Earth, stalling the storm over Houston. Argues that catastrophic damage owed mainly to reckless coastal real-estate development, and dismisses climate-science hurricane predictions as discredited.

In the photo below, Fred Noonan is standing to the left holding a sign.

Argues that a photograph taken on Japanese-controlled Jaluit Atoll shows aviator Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan, with Noonan supposedly holding a hand-written SOS sign in Asian-language characters. Contends this supports the theory that the pair were captured by the Japanese military, and that the original photographer was arrested and executed as a spy.

The History Channel's long overdue investigation revealing Amelia Earhart's death in captivity on the Japanese-held Marshall Islands has alarmed die-hards on the wrong side of World War II, who stubbornly hold to untenable positions abandoned by their grandfathers on the beaches of the South Pacific.

Contends that Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan were captured, tried, and executed by the Japanese military after the 1937 Jaluit Atoll photograph, asserting Earhart died a hero who sacrificed herself to thwart a Japanese-fascist plot against the Americas. Claims the truth has been censored for 80 years at the highest levels of the US establishment, criticizing modern Japanese nationalism.

Donald Trump's lifelong fascination with exotic weapons of mass destruction is due to the early influence of his uncle, John George Trump, an electromagnetism and radioactivity researcher at MIT, who was closely connected with inventor Nikola Tesla, nuclear contractor Westinghouse, and the spooky Office of Naval Research.

Argues that Donald Trump's support for nuclear-weapons proliferation by allies like South Korea, Japan, and Saudi Arabia has a precedent in Nixon and Kissinger's secret 1969 deal to aid Seoul's nuclear program amid the Vietnam troop drawdown. Links Trump's outlook to his uncle John Trump, an MIT researcher tied to Tesla, Westinghouse, and the Office of Naval Research.

7-9-17 · From Yoichi ShimatsuUS Politics & Elections

It keeps getting more bizarre . . . One of the more controversial topics involving Nikola Tesla is what became of many of his technical and scientific papers after he died in 1943.

Contends that after Nikola Tesla's 1943 death, US agencies including the FBI and Office of Alien Property seized his scientific papers, with key documents and a black notebook going missing. Claims Trump's uncle, electrical engineer Dr. John G. Trump, was assigned to examine the Tesla papers, linking the inventor's lost weapons research to the Trump family.

Midway through Donald Trump's first year in office, the world has watched in queasy disbelief at the transformation of an anti-interventionist American president in ways similar to how Palpatine, the idealistic leader of a long-ago Republic and opponent of arms dealers, turned toward the dark side to morph into Darth Sidious.

Grades Trump's first-year nuclear policy a 'D-minus,' arguing he betrayed anti-interventionist promises through missile deployments, Tomahawk strikes, and renewed embrace of atomic energy and weapons. Contends he mishandled North Korea diplomacy, promoted an unsafe nuclear industry despite contamination at Hanford and elsewhere, and isolated the US by opposing the UN nuclear-weapons ban treaty.

6-23-17 · By Yoichi ShimatsuKorea & Nuclear Weapons

Contends that Otto Warmbier, the American student imprisoned in North Korea, was a poorly trained spy recruited by Israeli intelligence and British handlers to conduct economic espionage, then abandoned by Mossad and a Zionist-influenced U.S. Treasury Department. Claims the Obama administration deliberately ignored him because it wanted him silenced, and that his brain damage predated his detention, stemming from alcoholism and a prior wrestling injury rather than North Korean abuse.

Argues that the May 2017 WannaCry attack was not the work of criminal hackers but a deliberate operation by an elite NSA cyberweapons team nicknamed Equation, intended to frame the Shadow Brokers and discredit them. Claims the blame was falsely pinned on a fictitious North Korean group called Lazarus invented by South Korean and Israeli intelligence, and that firms like Microsoft, Google and Sophos colluded with the NSA.

5-19-17 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFalse-Flag Attacks & Mass Shootings

Continuing the probe into the Wanna Decryptor outbreak, during which that worm paralyzed nearly a quarter million computers worldwide, this second article retraces the hijacking of the EternalBlue exploit (which is vulnerable to WannaCry) from the NSA's vault of cyber-weapons by the team called the Shadow Breakers, who issued repeated warnings about the flaw in older Microsoft systems.

Contends that the Shadow Brokers hacker group are whistleblowers rather than extortionists or terrorists, having issued repeated monthly warnings that gave Microsoft time to patch the WannaCry vulnerability. Claims Microsoft colluded with the NSA to deliberately withhold patches for older operating systems, and that media accusations blaming North Korea for the global cyberattack are demonstrably false.

The blustery springtime gusts over the Korean Peninsula is uplifting kites and false-flag operations, the latest lift-off being a cyber-attack that's shut down electrical power to hospital wards and surgery centers in faraway Britain.

Argues that the May 2017 WannaCry attack on British NHS hospitals was a false-flag operation, using an NSA-built tool, designed to provoke a fabricated cyberwar with North Korea and to punish Britain for its aid to Pyongyang. Claims Japanese intelligence under Shinzo Abe executed the attack as part of a militarist scheme for naval parity, and that the North Korean hacker group Lazarus is a fiction invented to justify escalation.

5-4-17 · By Yoichi ShimatsuKorea & Nuclear Weapons

Even as President Donald Trump sends an overture for peace talks with DPRK leader Kim Jong Un, the Pentagon and Japan's intelligence agency are running black operations to launch false-flag operations against Asian capitals as a pretext for war on the Korean Peninsula.

Contends that the Pentagon and Japanese intelligence under Shinzo Abe were preparing false-flag attacks on Asian capitals to be blamed on North Korea, providing a pretext for a nuclear first strike on the Korean Peninsula. Claims Defense Secretary James Mattis was acting insubordinately by readying an illegal war without White House or congressional authorization, and warns undercover U.S. personnel that they would be abandoned if captured.

The arena for a coming naval confrontation of epic dimensions, known as the Japan Sea or East Sea to Koreans, is eerily placid in the azure summer yet stormy over the graying winter months when the Siberian high whips the froth and fog into the powdery flakes that bury the coastal mountains in silence.

Argues that sending the carrier USS Carl Vinson into the Sea of Japan to confront North Korea risks triggering a catastrophic regional war drawing in Russia and China, potentially escalating to global nuclear conflict. Claims North Korea's dense air defenses and anti-ship weapons could sink the supercarrier, and that any U.S. strike on the Yongbyon reactor would spread radioactive fallout and invite overwhelming Russian and Chinese retaliation.

Armada was an apt description by President Donald Trump for his naval campaign against North Korea, since the term originated with the royal fleet of the Spanish Empire that was set ablaze and blown to smithereens on the remote western fringe of Europe by bold sea captains Francis Drake and Walter Raleigh, those 'Admiral's Men' under the command of Charles Howard, the Earl of Nottingham.

Contends that Trump's naval armada deployed off Korea faces catastrophic destruction, drawing parallels to historic naval defeats. Claims North Korea has secretly developed exotic, futuristic weaponry including thermobaric anti-ship rockets and advanced anti-aircraft missiles, and that since no peace treaty exists a state of war persists, leaving U.S. carriers and destroyers vulnerable to swarming attacks that would disable American electronics in the opening minutes of combat.

4-18-17 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFukushima & Nuclear Radiation

The silver lining to the fog of war is that hostile acts of destruction enable the military to order new weapons systems.

Argues that the U.S. Navy intends to provoke a war with North Korea in order to deliberately sink its own warships that were radioactively contaminated during Fukushima rescue operations (Operation Tomodachi), thereby avoiding the costly burden of scrapping them. Claims the North Korean nuclear program is being promoted as a false pretext, and that contaminated vessels caused miscarriages and illness among their crews.

It is advisable for Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to recall the words of his Cold War predecessor Dean Acheson who said: 'If the best minds in the world had set out to find us the worst possible location in the world to fight this damnable war, the unanimous choice would have been Korea.'

Contends that the United States and Japan have acted with deep dishonesty during the Korean crisis, pointing to the assassination of Kim Jong Nam, which it says bore the hallmarks of a false-flag operation timed to sabotage diplomatic openings. Claims both governments conceal the extent of Japan's secret nuclear weapons program, and frames historical Korean grievances against Japanese colonialism as ignored by Western media.

3-8-17 · By Yoichi ShimatsuKorea & Nuclear Weapons

The media campaign to blame North Korea for the airport assassination of exile Kim Jong Nam collapsed after Malaysian police failed to force a phony confession out of their chief suspect under arrest.

Asserts that the killing of Kim Jong Nam was a false-flag operation staged by rogue CIA and South Korean intelligence (NIS) agents to frame North Korea and sabotage diplomatic efforts toward reunification and denuclearization. Claims the accused female suspects were manipulated dupes, that evidence was fabricated, and that the operation was bungled, ultimately discrediting the Western alliance rather than Pyongyang.

In these last hours of a momentous political transition in the United States, the time’s come to wrap up the Pizzagate series with Part 10.

As the tenth installment of the author's PizzaGate series, contends that the Clintons' activities in Haiti and the Balkans are linked to child exploitation and occult-tinged elite corruption. Claims the Clinton Foundation's involvement in Haitian relief masked trafficking and abuse, framing these allegations as part of a wider network of misconduct among the global political elite.

There's the irony of a divine comedy in the 'fake news' accusation coming full-circle to slam CNN and NBC-Buzzfeed for their release of a false 35-page private-intelligence brief on Donald Trump's relationship with Russia.

Argues that the so-called Trump-Russia dossier was a fabricated document drafted by operatives connected to Rothschild interests and the former TNK-BP oil venture, intended to undermine Trump's election and disrupt the international order over Russia sanctions. Claims the report is riddled with errors and false, libelous sexual allegations, and calls for an independent inquiry and prosecution of those responsible.

Update: The initial contract by a yet-unreported client(s) for the Russia-Trump report was made with Fusion GSP, a Washington-based investigative reporting firm founded in 2009 by former Wall Street Journal reporters, whose principal partners are Glenn Simpson; Peter Fritsch, an associate with the Congress-funded Wilson Center; and Thomas Catan, a former reporter for The Times of London and the Financial Times and a graduate of the London School of Economics.

As part of the author's PizzaGate series, contends that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's CIA cloud-computing contract compromises The Washington Post, casting the paper as an intelligence mouthpiece. Claims the salacious Moscow allegations against Donald Trump in the Russia dossier were 'trumped-up' fabrications, tying media ownership and intelligence agencies together in an effort to discredit Trump.

Now for a breather before resuming our Kulturkamp against high-society pedophilia next week, let's enjoy a divertissement of dissonant riffs and loose ends, a capriccio inspired by Pizzagate, which is not to be confused with carpaccio from the blade of celebrity chef Marina Abramovic.

As the eighth installment of the PizzaGate series, contends that James Alefantis, owner of the Comet Ping Pong pizzeria, and his social circle are connected to sexual exploitation and the trafficking of minors. Claims their online behavior, including exhibitionism and suggestive imagery, points to predatory conduct, and links these figures to a broader network involving elite figures and jihadist intermediaries.

1-3-17 · By Yoichi ShimatsuElite Crime & Pizzagate

Maleficence rules over The New York Times now disgraced by its frantic denial of the Pizzagate expose of pedophilia among elite circles.

As the seventh PizzaGate installment, contends that New York Times CEO Mark Thompson, formerly director general of the BBC, was complicit in suppressing the Jimmy Savile pedophile scandal during his time at the broadcaster. Claims his presence compromises the Times' credibility on elite child-abuse stories and explains the paper's dismissal of PizzaGate, calling for an official inquiry into elite pedophilia.

12-29-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuElite Crime & Pizzagate

Fact Check - 'Lies, damned lies and statistics' is an aphorism widely believed to be coined by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens).

As the sixth PizzaGate installment, contends that the fact-checking site Snopes, along with DHS and ICE, operates a politicized campaign to suppress the PizzaGate investigation. Claims Snopes' operators are hypocrites linked to sex work and occult interests rather than impartial arbiters, and argues their debunkings amount to deliberate doublespeak shielding elite misconduct.

12-24-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuElite Crime & Pizzagate

We even link to Snopes.com when it's appropriate rather than reinvent the wheel ourselves, which we consider high praise.

As the fifth PizzaGate installment, contends that the fact-checking site Snopes and its founder are frauds rather than credible arbiters, alleging financial ties to pornography-linked sponsors and that a Snopes-connected employee engaged in sex work. Claims these conflicts of interest disqualify Snopes from debunking PizzaGate, which it maintains involves genuine child-trafficking and pedophilia among elites.

12-20-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuElite Crime & Pizzagate

It takes a spillage, of buckets of blood by the “patron saint of fear” Marina Abramovic, to alert online vampire hunters to her elite coven of collaborators.

As part of the PizzaGate series, contends that leaked emails from honest insiders expose a network of elite child sexual abuse masked as avant-garde art, implicating Hillary Clinton and her associates. Claims the WikiLeaks material and fetishistic imagery reveal predatory conduct, and warns that authorities are seeking to impose sweeping censorship to suppress the findings before the election.

12-19-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuChina & Asia-Pacific

I was with Chinese friends celebrating their wedding anniversary and spent most of the evening responding to a barrage of questions about Donald Trump.

Contends that, from a Chinese perspective, Donald Trump's victory and Hillary Clinton's defeat are unsurprising, reflecting parallels with China's own rejection of revolutionary excess in favor of pragmatic, tradition-respecting governance. Claims Western liberal society is collapsing into extremism while China, drawing on Deng Xiaoping's pragmatism and traditional values, offers a more stable model that Trump supporters implicitly favor.

12-18-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuElite Crime & Pizzagate

After a tsunami of coerced self-censorship wiped away the truth from American media, there's now a news blackout on Pizzagate and the Norway child-porn arrests.

As the fourth PizzaGate installment, contends that the Clintons and George Soros are implicated in a Norwegian child-pornography blackmail operation and in fabricating fake news through Macedonian operations. Claims this network used pornographic material for political blackmail and looted financial systems, and warns that authorities are using the fake-news pretext to impose press censorship and suppress the allegations.

12-11-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuElite Crime & Pizzagate

In Part 2 of an ongoing series on Pizzagate, this investigation into the shadowy underworld of the political elite is making headway, despite the threat from a pedophile-infested Congress.

As the second PizzaGate installment, contends that the Comet Ping Pong pizzeria scene uses coded language for group sex and child exploitation among the global elite. Claims that U.S. consular officers and human-trafficking programs supply money and fake passports to abet trafficking, and points to properties decorated with symbols it identifies as pedophile markers as evidence of a predatory network.

12-9-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuElite Crime & Pizzagate

Just when it looked like investigative journalism was dead and buried, there came along PizzaGate, which is busting open a new era of cyber-sleuthing to expose and take down once-untouchable criminals in high office.

As the opening installment of the series, contends that the PizzaGate phenomenon represents a revival of investigative journalism by citizen researchers probing an alleged elite pedophile network. Claims that large numbers of missing children, cases such as Madeleine McCann, and leaked materials point to organized child abuse and trafficking that mainstream institutions have ignored or covered up.

New Zealanders moved to protest the first visit in 32 years by a U.S. Navy warship, arriving in defiance of a ban under this nation's 1987 declaration of a nuclear-free zone in support of disarmament and arms control.

Contends that New Zealanders are right to oppose a banned U.S. warship's port call tied to a multinational naval review, citing the vessel's poor environmental record and the broader risks of America's military pivot to the Pacific. Claims naval exercises threaten an Antarctic marine sanctuary and that puzzling radioactive hotspots off the coast point to contamination, framing the opposition as resistance to a reckless globalist elite.

In what you describe as a "moving letter", Aaron Sorkin's message to his daughters is beyond ill-mannered and foul-mouthed and certainly no way that any father should be speaking to his family, especially over matters of public interest and political life of a nation.

An open letter to the editors of Vanity Fair denouncing a published letter by screenwriter Aaron Sorkin to his daughters about Donald Trump's election. Argues that Sorkin's profanity-laced message was crude, hypocritical and a parental failure, and accuses Vanity Fair of debasing public discourse by promoting such material as moving commentary.

11-9-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuPandemics & Biowarfare

Vaccines are normally produced in horses (strong immune systems) or chicken eggs (in quantity), but pigs are hosts of many microorganisms that occur in humans.

Contends that the West African Ebola outbreak originated from a Canadian biowarfare laboratory rather than natural transmission, pointing to a lab worker reportedly exposed while handling infected pigs as a telltale sign. Claims authorities offered few details and downplayed the incident, framing the episode as evidence of clandestine bioweapons research behind the epidemic.

11-6-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuElite Crime & Pizzagate

The ritual use of human blood, semen and urine by the death-obsessed Marina Abramovic (who is NOT the founder of performance art as her groupies claim) is a neo-wiccan appropriation of the Tantric (Tibetan) practice of devotees swallowing the "five treasures" from the body of their master: blood, semen, urine, feces and flesh as a "transmission" ritual.

Contends that performance artist Marina Abramovic and her 'spirit cooking' and 'Black Tantra' rituals reveal a dark occult subculture connected to elite figures such as the Podestas and the Clintons. Claims these practices, drawing on distorted Tantric and Tibetan traditions, point to ritualistic abuse, linking the art world to the broader PizzaGate-era allegations of elite depravity.

Hillary Clinton's defeat in the New Hampshire Democratic primaries suggests her rage-driven role in ordering a spree of politically motivated murders, which in hindsight could explain the mysterious deaths of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, DNC staffer Seth Rich, attorney Shawn Lucas, and others, along with mortal threats against rivals Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump.

Contends that hacked Podesta emails exchanged shortly before Justice Antonin Scalia's death reveal Hillary Clinton's rage and point to a politically motivated assassination, with a reference to 'wet works' interpreted as code for killing. Claims Scalia's death was a heinous crime intended to clear the way for a lawless, totalitarian presidency, and calls for prosecution for murder and treason.

Wednesday, 21 September 2016, goes down as the darkest hour, a total eclipse for justice in Canada and the environmental cause throughout the Northern Hemisphere.

Argues that the rejection ('thumbs-down') of an environmental scientist named Durnford amounts to a grotesque attack on environmentalism orchestrated by the nuclear industry and corporate interests. Claims his warnings about radioactive contamination threatening wildlife and humans were suppressed, and defends militant environmental and wildlife defenders against poachers, whalers and what it calls lawless corporate felons.

To: TV5Monde Asie Re: Documentary programs on Livtinenko and Fukushima contamination of the Pacific. Your reporting is terribly flawed by factual omissions.

A rebuttal letter to the French broadcaster TV5Monde accusing it of pro-nuclear propaganda. Contends that its documentary on Alexander Litvinenko omitted his alleged role as a jihadist-aligned supplier of polonium for a planned nuclear terror attack, and attacks its Fukushima coverage for relying on Woods Hole scientist Ken Buesseler, whom the author calls a U.S. Navy-funded apologist, citing his own field measurements showing severe Pacific contamination.

9-17-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFukushima & Nuclear Radiation

A murky web of international supply chains is being exposed in the flawed-steel parts scandal rocking the French and Japanese nuclear industries.

Argues that the discovery of defective French and Japanese steel in reactor pressure vessels and key components, supplied by firms such as AREVA and Le Creusot Forge, exposes systemic safety failures that doom the global nuclear industry. Claims lax inspection and an industry-wide cover-up left many plants fitted with shoddy parts, and that reactor vessel head failures of this kind contributed to nuclear disasters.

Saturn's Spell On Us - From Fukushima To The Rothschilds.

Presents images of a hexagonal storm pattern at Saturn's north pole alongside a six-pointed star, contending that the resemblance reveals a hidden 'Saturn cypher' or occult-astronomical symbolism. Links the motif to a broader thesis connecting Saturn imagery to Fukushima and the Rothschild banking dynasty, implying esoteric significance behind the planetary phenomenon.

The sudden deaths of a herd of reindeer in Norway's Telemark region is another puzzling incident in a string of Arctic region die-offs that cannot be attributed to conventional causes such as an epidemic or mass poisoning.

Argues that the mass die-off of a Norwegian reindeer herd was caused not by lightning, as officials claimed, but by surges of gamma radiation linked to Fukushima fallout and an expanding Arctic ozone hole. Contends that authorities censored the radioactive cause to protect the nuclear-physics establishment, citing the absence of charred ground or Lichtenberg burn patterns as disproving the lightning explanation.

8-26-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuUS Politics & Elections

The unsolved mystery behind the deaths of DNC data expert Seth Conrad Rich and lawyer Shawn Lucas is deepening due to non-disclosure of forensic findings by the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department, whose chief Cathy Lanier is a member of the national intelligence establishment with a master's degree in security studies from the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey.

Claims that a string of deaths connected to the Democratic National Committee, including data director Seth Rich, process server Shawn Lucas, and Justice Antonin Scalia, were suspicious killings tied to the Clinton campaign. Asserts that key evidence was suppressed, that the law firm Perkins Coie and operative Marc Elias were implicated in election manipulation, and that media outlets and Twitter censored discussion of the cases.

8-20-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFalse-Flag Attacks & Mass Shootings

Oscar Morel, under arrest, is wearing a telltale sign of MK-ULTRA mind control.

Contends that Oscar Morel, the man charged with shooting a Queens imam and his aide, was a framed patsy and an MK-ULTRA mind-control subject, citing his job at the New School and that institution's historical links to CIA-funded cognitive-dissonance research. Argues that the killings were a politically motivated assassination staged to aid Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign by inflaming anti-Trump sentiment.

8-10-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFalse-Flag Attacks & Mass Shootings

Here in the second installment on the assassination plot against Donald Trump are presented: more details behind the planned shooting of the Republican candidate, the links to a huge corruption scandal engulfing NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio and Hasidic Jewish diamond-and-property tycoons, and the hidden Israeli-cyberwarfare roots of Snopes.

Claims that an apparent bank-robbery shootout in New York actually exposed a foiled intelligence plot to assassinate Donald Trump at Trump Tower, involving a man surnamed Bush carrying an illegally suppressed Glock who slipped into a cordoned security zone. Asserts the synchronized 'dirty tricks' were orchestrated by political operatives and 'bagmen' to fix the presidential race, weaving in astrological and numerological interpretations of the events.

8-5-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFalse-Flag Attacks & Mass Shootings

What's in a name? Sometimes prophecy on par with Nostradamus. Born in 1956, Barry Lee Bush was christened with an ideal name for an assassin.

As a follow-up, argues that the Trump Tower 'Bush' shooting incident was a staged or aborted assassination attempt tied to FBI personnel, Latino gang members and a bureau vehicle, with the cover story of a bank robbery used to conceal it. Contends that Israeli intelligence and the Mossad would have scrutinized the suspect, framing the episode as part of a broader covert operation against Trump's candidacy.

Khizir Khan, the father of the celebrated dead Muslim soldier, has much to hide from the American electorate, judging from the fact that the website of KM Khan, immigration attorney and Shariah law scholar, has been pulled from the Internet.

Claims that Khizr Khan, the Gold Star father who criticized Donald Trump at the 2016 Democratic convention, is an immigration attorney and Sharia-law scholar whose professional website was taken offline to conceal his background. Argues that Khan, Hillary Clinton, and Tim Kaine perpetrated a fraud on voters by obscuring his alleged ties to Saudi interests and Islamic law, framing his convention appearance as a deceptive partisan stunt.

8-2-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuUS Politics & Elections

(The full text of this article could not be automatically retrieved from the source page; date is approximate.)

Contends that Khizr Khans former law firm represents Saudi interests and works to shield the Saudi government from accountability for the September 11, 2001 attacks. Argues that this connection discredits Khan and, by extension, the Clinton campaign that featured him, framing his prominence as part of an effort to suppress scrutiny of Saudi involvement in 9/11. (Summary based on title and related articles; this pages body could not be retrieved.)

The Pakistani-American Khizr Khan who attacked Donald Trump to aid Hillary Clinton remains a mystery character despite the plethora of praise from the Jewish-owned news media and his apparently being a member of the New York Bar of Law.

Contends that the media account of Khizr Khan and his late soldier son Humayun omits key facts, raising questions about the familys financing, immigration history, and the circumstances of the sons death in Iraq. Argues that Khans Democratic convention appearance was political propaganda exploited on behalf of Hillary Clinton, and casts doubt on the celebratory narrative promoted by mainstream outlets.

7-25-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuImmigration & the US Border

Arrested hours before an obvious suicide mission, the Turkish military 'coup' leaders were silenced by diplomatic arrangement between Washington and Ankara.

Argues that the arrests following the 2016 Turkish coup attempt, particularly of Aegean naval commanders, were arranged to silence officers who possessed evidence of a clandestine operation by George Soros, Hillary Clinton, and the Clinton Foundation to channel migrants across the Aegean into Europe. Claims the so-called migrant crisis was an orchestrated covert program whose paper trail was buried by the post-coup purge.

The plan is based on the Cockcroft-Walton plan for the world's first workable though primitive nuclear bomb.

Relays claims attributed to a nuclear expert that an improvised fission-fusion device could be built from spent reactor fuel rods using a Cockcroft-Walton-type design, producing a crude bomb capable of destroying city blocks and spreading contamination. Speculates that such a weapon could be deployed by rail or truck and raises scenarios implicating Ukraine, Toshiba-Westinghouse spent fuel, Israeli interests in Kiev, and ISIS in a possible attack staged to resemble a second 9/11.

6-30-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFukushima & Nuclear Radiation

As retold in kabuki and old Japan's puppet theater, justice is never delivered by the law courts, those being just instruments of the powerful.

Argues that the 2016 Brexit vote and resulting currency swings dealt a financial blow to the Japanese corporations Hitachi and Toshiba, which the author blames for the Fukushima meltdowns and accuses of exporting their nuclear projects to Britain on borrowed money. Contends these firms operate through denial, corruption, and media disinformation, and frames Brexit as inadvertently disrupting their UK nuclear ambitions.

Strolling over the cliffs in Southern California, I looked down at a white-sand beach pimpled with a crimson rash along the high-tide line.

Recounts the authors firsthand coastal observations of dead and dying crabs and other marine life, which he attributes to radioactive contamination of the Pacific. Contends that wastewater from Fukushima and Californias San Onofre nuclear plant is devastating sea life along the Southern California shore, and frames the destruction as evidence that nuclear science without ethical limits is annihilating the ocean ecosystem.

4-19-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFukushima & Nuclear Radiation

The pair of killer quakes that pummeled the Kumamoto region in mid-April occurred along Japan's longest fault line, called the Main Tectonic Line (MTL, chuo kozo sen), a horizontal-moving 'strike-slip' similar to California's San Andreas Fault.

Contends that the April 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes occurred along Japans Median Tectonic Line, which the author says is prone to cascading quakes, a danger he claims a Shikoku research team had warned of months earlier. Argues that Japanese regulators ignored this threat and kept the Sendai nuclear reactors and other plants sited along the fault running, putting numerous reactors, including MOX-fueled units, at risk.

4-13-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFinance & Corporate Power

The CIA routinely betrays and abuses German interests. The last straw is the Snowden revelation of NSA intercepts of every email out of the Chancellor's office and eavesdropping on their phone conversations by bugging optical fiber.

Argues that the Panama Papers leak from the Mossack Fonseca law firm was not a whistleblower expose but a covert CIA-NSA operation, retaliation against Germanys BND intelligence service amid disputes over NSA surveillance of Chancellor Merkel. Contends the leaked archive was selectively redacted and channeled through German media to discredit leaders of the BRICS group and the Latin American ALBA alliance rather than Western elites.

4-12-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFinance & Corporate Power

The most astounding aspect of the Panama Papers affair is how up to 300 'journalists' from dozens of countries could be so abysmally ignorant of business law and real-world trading practices.

Claims the Panama Papers reporting by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) was a fraud produced by ignorant or complicit journalists serving as stooges of tax authorities and central bankers. Argues that the consortium libeled lawful holders of offshore accounts and acted on behalf of the US Treasurys financial-enforcement apparatus and the Federal Reserve, and calls for the ICIJ to be prosecuted.

3-14-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuUS Politics & Elections

Everyone on both sides of the partisan divide are asking: Who's behind the staged-for-media disruptions against the Trump and Sanders campaigns?

Contends that the disruptions at 2016 Trump and Sanders rallies were staged provocations funded by an Obama-linked network of hedge-fund financiers and political operatives, which the author describes as a mafia-like clan tied to deep-state intelligence and a globalist agenda. Claims figures such as George Soros bankrolled paid agitators to polarize voters along racial, immigration, and regional lines and undermine the two anti-establishment campaigns.

3-2-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFukushima & Nuclear Radiation

Waste management is about noise pollution from garbage trucks in the predawn darkness, dumpster stench, kickbacks from fat contracts for big-city bosses, and Jimmy Hoffa compacted under landfill.

Argues that the corporate takeovers of Fukushima nuclear-cleanup contractors, particularly the sale of the Irvine-based firm Kurion to the French company Veolia, create a chain of ownership reaching back to Rothschild financial interests. Contends that this corporate web grants Israels weapons program covert access to US nuclear weapons laboratories and sensitive technology, framing the cleanup business as a cover for proliferation.

Zika virus does not cause microcephaly.

Asserts that the Zika virus does not cause the birth defect microcephaly, which the author instead blames on genetically modified mosquitoes engineered by the Oxford-linked company Oxitec. Claims a lab-created lethal gene construct released for mosquito control damages human embryonic development, and characterizes the program as covert population reduction and biological warfare misattributed to Zika.

2-19-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuPandemics & Biowarfare

The global spread of Aedes aegypti is one of the grim legacies of the era of African slavery, arriving to the Europe and the Americas in buckets of water for the human cargo aboard slave ships.

Argues that the surge in microcephaly among Brazilian infants began before Zika arrived and traces it instead to genetically engineered mosquitoes, while linking the underlying research to colonial-era and Rockefeller-connected tropical disease laboratories in Africa, including the Uganda institute where Zika was first identified. Contends the virus scare is a smokescreen for covertly deploying pathogens against targeted populations for purposes such as population reduction or regime change.

2-15-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuPandemics & Biowarfare

Why choose Zika to disguise the gene-engineering that causes microcephaly?

Claims that the World Health Organization and biotech firm Oxitec are covering up a gene-engineering program that, the author says, is the true cause of microcephaly, using the Zika virus as a disguise. Argues that a lab-created lethal gene construct spread via mosquitoes suppresses fetal development, and accuses WHO of issuing misleading statements and funding the research to conceal what he characterizes as gene-based biological warfare.

2-8-16 · By Yoichi ShimatsuPandemics & Biowarfare

The mobilization of 500,000 soldiers and public-health workers to spray pesticides across Brazil is effectively terminating a controversial British-American biotechnology project that has released millions of gene-engineered mosquitoes in a backfired experiment to combat the dengue fever virus (DENV).

Contends that the severe microcephaly in Brazilian infants is not caused by Zika but is a side effect of Oxitecs RIDL genetically modified mosquito technique, which the author says disrupts the GATA gene shared by mosquito and human embryos. Frames the Oxford- and CDC-linked program as a covert population-reduction and sterilization scheme tied to Western corporate interests in Brazils natural resources.

The Thai police department, which is now starting to investigate foreign links to the Erawan shrine bombing, has sought help from the Turkish Embassy on possible involvement of the ultranationalist Grey Wolves.

In the second part of a series on the 2015 Erawan Shrine bombing in Bangkok, traces the suspects movements on foot and examines possible foreign involvement, suggesting links to Uyghur militants and Turkeys ultranationalist Grey Wolves. Argues that the attack was retaliation connected to Thailands deportation of Uyghurs and implicates broader geopolitical actors rather than a purely domestic motive.

8-20-15 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFalse-Flag Attacks & Mass Shootings

Bangkok - Above the murmur of prayers, the workmen's noisy repairs on the bombed Erawan Shrine are revealing the handicraft and mindset of a team of assailants.

Profiles the suspected perpetrators of the 2015 Erawan Shrine bombing in Bangkok, arguing that the relatively small device and other clues indicate the work of a foreign intelligence operation rather than conventional terrorists. Suggests the attack served the interests of pan-Turkic Grey Wolves militants angered by Thailands deportation of Uyghurs to China, and contends an outside agency was manipulating the Thai government.

This past week's on-shore shock-wave event in Tianjin, China, has striking similarities with the mysterious vaporization of a 'roll on / roll off' car-carrier ship off the coast of Norway in June 1991.

Speculates that the 2015 Tianjin port explosion in China resembles the mysterious 1991 vaporization of a roll-on/roll-off car-carrier ship off Norway, raising the possibility of an exotic or tactical weapon rather than an ordinary chemical accident. Suggests the blast could mark an opening move toward a wider war and floats theories implicating Japanese political figures and clandestine weapons trafficking.

Let us be delighted that a Boeing flaperon mysteriously swept ashore on the French territory of Reunion island, near the African continent, exposing further the villainy of those who ordered the hijacking of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370.

Argues that the discovery of a Boeing flaperon on Reunion Island was a misdirection in a cover-up of what the author calls the hijacking of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. Names media figures he claims are tied to Rothschild interests and to a Korean pastors network, and links the alleged plot to a revived strain of Japanese fascism and pan-Turanist master-race ideology.

6-13-15 · By Yoichi ShimatsuPandemics & Biowarfare

A cover-up barred South Korea's public health officials from accessing information needed to halt the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS).

Contends that the 2015 MERS outbreak in South Korea did not originate naturally but stemmed from a US biological-warfare program, possibly a laboratory accident tied to a Pentagon project at Osan Air Base. Argues that military censorship obstructed Korean health officials, and links MERS-CoV research to Fort Detrick, framing the epidemic as a consequence of clandestine bioweapons work.

Clashes over energy in Ukraine between the West and Russia could prompt another Chernobyl-type accident or a catastrophe on the order of a Fukushima that will complete the nuclear devastation of the Northern Hemisphere.

Argues that the 2014-2015 Western-Russian struggle over Ukraines energy sector, especially Kievs push for nuclear-fuel independence and the introduction of Westinghouse fuel into Soviet-designed reactors, risks triggering a Chernobyl- or Fukushima-scale disaster across Europe. Contends that Ukraines financial collapse and reactor incidents, combined with foreign fracking ventures, are pushing an unstable nuclear industry toward catastrophe.

For medical science as in the Olympic games being first is what matters because nobody remembers who comes in second.

Argues that the scientific search for a patient zero in the HIV and 2014 West African Ebola epidemics, including Oxford-led studies tracing HIV to early-20th-century Congo, is a deliberate effort to obscure what the author claims is the true biological-warfare origin of these diseases. Contends that pinning outbreaks on natural animal-to-human transmission serves to conceal laboratory involvement in their spread.

Press freedom is the first casualty in Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's campaign to revive the prewar model of a militarized society.

Contends that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's government, aided by rightist pressure groups, orchestrated an assault on press freedom by forcing the Asahi Shimbun to retract reporting on Fukushima workers and wartime issues. Argues this campaign of censorship and self-censorship aims at the broader 'social militarization' of Japan, eroding journalistic independence as the final barrier against state propaganda.

They're riding high again, that ruthless gang of neo-liberal interventionists who dismembered Yugoslavia in the 1990s and whose underlings introduced Factor-8 HIV-infected blood plasma to cause an AIDS crisis across the war-torn Balkans.

Argues that the West African Ebola outbreak is bound up with a struggle over African mineral wealth, blaming four 'horsemen' - Tony Blair, George Soros, Anthony Lake and Bernard Kouchner - for humanitarian-interventionist schemes serving Western mining and oil interests. Claims figures like Kouchner functioned as covert agents and that 'color revolution' strategies prioritize a services economy over African industrial development.

Tracing the connections between ebola and biowarfare for this investigative series proved to be more complex than a riddle inside a mystery within an enigma.

Contends that the experimental Ebola 'secret serum' given to Western aid workers was not produced via novel transgenic-tobacco biotechnology as claimed, but derived from antibodies generated in goats and horses at a Soviet-era Russian bioweapons lab (VECTOR) in Novosibirsk. Asserts that firms such as ZMapp and Monsanto, working with US military researchers, misrepresented old-fashioned animal serum as cutting-edge monoclonal antibody therapy for profit, and links Ebola's spread to decades of US, Soviet and Japanese biowarfare programs.

Fear grips West Africa as angry Monrovia slum dwellers wreck an ebola quarantine center in rebellion against the pharmaceutical industry and biowarfare programs.

Argues that the West African Ebola outbreak may have originated when the virus escaped from captive chimpanzees used in US Army-linked vaccine trials at a Louisiana primate lab and was then carried back to Africa through animal-rights groups' reintroduction of 'orphan' lab apes into a Guinea sanctuary near the outbreak's epicenter. Asserts German pharmaceutical firms and the Max Planck Institute remain entangled in filovirus biowarfare research, and theorizes that Ebola's natural reservoir lies in tree-dwelling flagellate microorganisms in fruit and sap.

8-12-14 · By Yoichi ShimatsuPandemics & Biowarfare

The ebola pandemic began in late February in the former French colony of Guinea while UN agencies were conducting nationwide vaccine campaigns for three other diseases in rural districts.

Contends that the West African Ebola outbreak began in Guinea at the same time UN agencies were running nationwide vaccination campaigns against other diseases, and argues that the virus's near-simultaneous emergence in widely separated areas points to a deliberate release. Asserts the Zaire Ebola strain was introduced to conduct covert antidote trials on unsuspecting populations during these immunization drives.

Minions of the British Crown pressured the World Health Organization (WHO) to schedule a two-day expert panel on the pros and cons of authorizing the use of untested experimental drugs inside the ebola outbreak zone.

Claims that the experimental Ebola drug ZMapp, credited with saving American missionaries, is a fraudulent and dangerous monoclonal-antibody product whose patents are held by the British Crown, and that British microbiologists pressured the WHO to authorize its untested use. Asserts the West African outbreak was an act of state-sponsored biowarfare advancing a British strategy to recolonize Africa, and that simple measures like clean water and isolation, not ZMapp, explain the patients' recovery.

City officials in Toledo, Ohio, have repealed their warning about drinking impure water from Lake Erie even though toxic concentrations are not significantly lower than in early August when a ban on tap water was imposed.

Contends that the toxic algae bloom that forced Toledo, Ohio to ban tap water from Lake Erie was driven not merely by farm-fertilizer runoff but by warm-water and radioactive isotope discharges from the nearby Enrico Fermi nuclear plant. Argues that heated wastewater and phosphorus-32 from the reactor stimulate and mutate the microcystin-producing cyanobacteria, and warns the aging GE-design plant poses a Fukushima-style threat to the region's drinking water.

8-6-14 · By Yoichi ShimatsuPandemics & Biowarfare

As newly arrived patients are treated at US hospitals in Atlanta and New York, the most alarming aspect of the spreading Ebola outbreak across four West African countries is the strain's probable origin as an escapee from a medical-research laboratory.

Argues that the West African outbreak involved the virulent Zaire strain (ZEBOV) rather than the local Ivory Coast variant, which the author says could not have travelled thousands of kilometres undetected and therefore points to an escape from, or deliberate release by, a medical-research laboratory. Asserts the experimental drug ZMapp emerged from a network of US, Canadian and British biodefense contractors tied to Crown-held patents, and speculates that weaponized Ebola linked to Soviet and Israeli programs may reflect a targeted campaign against Africans.

8-1-14 · By Yoichi ShimatsuAviation Disasters (MH370/MH17)

'Massive explosive decompression' is how a Ukraine defense spokesman described the midair destruction of Malaysian Airlines flight 17.

Contends that the official investigations into the Malaysia Airlines disasters (MH370 and MH17) are being directed by the same Western and intelligence-linked officials the author blames for orchestrating a cover-up of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. Argues this continuity of personnel and methods indicates the Malaysian air probes are designed to conceal the true causes and shift blame rather than establish the facts.

A terrifying barrage of thunderbolts that killed a 20-year-old swimmer and injured a dozen more beach-goers on a balmy Sunday afternoon signaled the arrival of an endless plume of radioactive seawater along the California coast.

Claims that a rare burst of lightning strikes that killed a swimmer and injured beachgoers in Southern California was triggered by radioactive seawater from the Fukushima disaster reaching the coast via the California Current. Asserts that high-energy isotopes such as cesium and strontium create electrically charged clouds that produce thunderstorms, and reports personal dosimeter readings the author says show dangerous contamination of beaches, kelp and seafood that officials are covering up.

7-21-14 · By Yoichi ShimatsuAviation Disasters (MH370/MH17)

The slow drip of information from the Malaysian Airlines flight 17 probe is confirming most initial insights while tweaking some parts of our reconstruction of events.

Asserts that Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, which crashed over eastern Ukraine, was secretly carrying a cargo of infected human remains or biological material intended for delivery to Tehran. Contends the disaster was therefore not a simple shootdown but part of a covert biowarfare operation, and links the deaths of HIV/AIDS researchers aboard the flight to this alleged clandestine shipment.

7-20-14 · By Yoichi ShimatsuAviation Disasters (MH370/MH17)

As the only non-European journalist to cover The Hague inquiry into the Amsterdam crash of El Al flight 1862 (October 1992), which destroyed a Biljmeer district apartment complex, I discovered many aspects of the Israeli security set-up at Schipol International Airport and the role of the Mossad intelligence agency in secret operations there.

Speculates that Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 was sabotaged by an Israeli-owned airport security firm (ICTS) and Mossad operatives at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, drawing parallels to the 1992 El Al cargo crash the author covered. Asserts that a planted bomb or falsified transponder signal, rather than a straightforward shootdown, may have downed the plane, and posits Israeli motives including diverting attention from the Gaza offensive and deterring inquiries into the alleged hijacking of MH370.

7-19-14 · By Yoichi ShimatsuAviation Disasters (MH370/MH17)

In these still early hours following the mystery crash of MH17, one must dare to think the unthinkable.

Reports that Dutch parliamentary hearings and journalists examined the 1992 crash of an El Al Boeing 747 into a Bijlmer apartment block near Amsterdam, alleging the jet secretly carried sarin nerve-gas precursors, depleted uranium and, per some Dutch reporters, weapons-grade plutonium en route from New York to Israel. Contends this points to a covert US-to-Israel nuclear and chemical weapons pipeline through Schiphol Airport and an official cover-up of the cargo and resulting radiation illnesses. The page also reprises the author's claim that MH17 carried infected corpses for a biowarfare plot.

7-13-14 · By Yoichi ShimatsuEnvironment, Energy & Climate

After wreaking havoc in Japan, Typhoon Neoguri moved into the North Pacific, pushing the jet stream far northeast over British Columbia and then causing a reverse dip of polar high pressure southward deep into the US Midwest.

Claims that Typhoon Neoguri shifted the jet stream so as to carry Fukushima radiation, especially tritium, cesium and strontium, across Canada into the US Midwest and South, threatening crops, livestock and public health. Further asserts that Fukushima nuclear particles overheating Pacific seabed trenches generate super-typhoons such as Neoguri and Haiyan, and forecasts radioactive crop failures, drought, recession and rising disease across America.

5-1-14 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFukushima & Nuclear Radiation

An ozone hole opened over the Arctic Circle in March 2011, and by the next year the polar ice sheet began to melt and break apart.

Argues that the 2011 Arctic ozone hole and the 2012 polar ice melt were caused not by gradual global warming but by radioactive isotopes (iodine-131, xenon and tritium) released by the 2011 Fukushima disaster, framing it as a sudden catastrophe rather than incremental climate change. Contends that tritium's very low freezing point destabilizes ice and that ozone-destroying isotopes thinned the layer, while asserting that NASA and proponents of global-warming theory have covered up Fukushima's role to protect the nuclear industry.

4-14-14 · Interview By Yoichi ShimatsuAviation Disasters (MH370/MH17)

Yoichi talks to Matthias Chang in a five-part video interview, 'MH370 - Make It The Last False Flag.'

Presents a multi-part video interview conducted by the author with Malaysian lawyer and political commentator Matthias Chang about the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. The page frames the discussion around the contention that the incident was a 'false flag' operation, with Chang and the author urging that it be the last such covert event.

4-13-14 · By Yoichi ShimatsuAviation Disasters (MH370/MH17)

At a closed-door seminar on the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, veteran police commanders and retired military officers said that erroneous media reports and bizarre blogger theories are aimed at debunking the logical conclusion that the jetliner was hijacked.

Revisits the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, contending that the aircraft was hijacked rather than crashing into the sea and that its passengers may still be alive as hostages. Asserts that a 'Zionist' or Israeli-linked disinformation campaign, abetted by corporate media and a Malaysian ad agency, pushed the no-survivors crash narrative to suppress evidence of the alleged hijacking.

3-25-14 · By Yoichi ShimatsuAviation Disasters (MH370/MH17)

The question tormenting millions of cyber-sleuths is Why? What could be the motive behind the elaborate plan for the midair capture of Malaysian Airlines flight 370?

Theorizes that MH370 was electronically hijacked by US military intelligence to seize Freescale Semiconductor employees aboard who had developed the world's smallest microcontroller, a chip the author says is key to next-generation miniaturized weapons. Asserts that Pentagon agencies and pro-Israel financiers feared the technology reaching China and Iran, and that the remote-controlled plane was flown to Diego Garcia, where passengers were interrogated and a fake crash scene was staged.

3-20-14 · By Yoichi ShimatsuAviation Disasters (MH370/MH17)

The closer that millions of online sleuths come to tracing the trajectory and destination of the missing Malaysian Airlines jetliner, the likelier it becomes that the National Security Agency and CIA will resort to disinformation, including the planting of falsified evidence, to throw off their pursuers in what increasingly appears to be an electronic hijacking by those spy agencies.

Argues that MH370 was electronically hijacked by US intelligence agencies and remote-piloted to the Diego Garcia military base, with falsified wreckage planted elsewhere as a decoy. Frames the alleged operation as part of the Pentagon's 'pivot to Asia' and Air-Sea Battle strategy targeting Malaysia for its ties to China, and claims American radar, satellites and Boeing's remote-control capability make an undetected accidental disappearance impossible.

Morihiro Hosokawa is certainly not the perfect candidate, being hostage to Soka Gakkai religious organization and linked to formation of the religious cult Aum Shinri Kyo in Kumamoto.

Offers a brief political commentary on former Japanese prime minister Morihiro Hosokawa's anti-nuclear candidacy in the Tokyo gubernatorial race. Argues that, despite reservations about Hosokawa, his campaign could pressure the Komeito party to break with the LDP and weaken Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, potentially enabling a broad anti-nuclear coalition, while predicting Hosokawa will eventually capitulate to nuclear-industry interests.

Japanese citizens protesting by the millions against the return to wartime fascism, storming the Prime Minister's office and the LDP headquarters, demanding an end to the security bill, overseas weapons sales, and Constitution revision, the public overwhelmingly calling for a return to democracy and peace...

A short, sardonic commentary on Japan's 2013 state-secrets law, which the author casts as a step back toward wartime authoritarianism under the LDP-Komeito government. Contends that public resistance was minimal and that official reassurances about Fukushima safety amount to propaganda dismissing critics who cite radiation readings.

On All Souls Eve, may you be transported on ethereal wings, be divider and butcher of people and things, be one who twists pain into sheer pleasure...

A short satirical Halloween poem framed as a message from the devil to the NSA. Through the verse the author depicts mass surveillance, drone warfare and the instilling of fear in the innocent as demonic works, casting the intelligence agency as serving evil ends.

10-24-13 · By Yoichi ShimatsuUS Politics & Elections

Whistleblower Edward Snowden was taken for a ride by con artists in the service of the US and UK intelligence agencies.

Contends that NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden was manipulated by journalists Glenn Greenwald and billionaire Pierre Omidyar, whom the author casts as 'handlers' working in the interest of US and UK intelligence. Claims they extracted Snowden's leaked files, spirited him out of Hong Kong before public hearings, and are channeling the material into a controlled media venture rather than full disclosure.

The Washington Navy Yard shootings ensure that details of Aaron Alexis's career with U.S. intelligence will surface, linking him to Aurora movie shooter James 'the Joker' Holmes.

Claims that the Washington Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis and Aurora theater shooter James Holmes were both connected to secret US intelligence work, particularly an NSA-CIA installation in the Colorado Rocky Mountains the author dubs 'NSA-CIA West.' Argues that the mass shootings served to bury these operatives' classified backgrounds, and links the pattern speculatively to unresolved questions about the September 11 attacks.

9-18-13 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFalse-Flag Attacks & Mass Shootings

As media pundits scrounge through Aaron Alexis's background for clues to the uncontrolled fit of rage that led him to gun down 12 civilians at the Washington Navy Yard, a most egregious accusation has been raised against his devotion to 'the dark side of meditation.'

Rejects media claims that Thai Buddhist Vipassana meditation contributed to Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis's rampage, arguing instead that meditation was a coping aid for trauma. Contends his mental distress stemmed from undisclosed secret military-intelligence work, possible mind-control programming or microwave-signal exposure, and points to inconsistencies suggesting a second shooter, framing the 'lone gunman' narrative as a diversion comparable to the JFK assassination.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's big lies to the delegates voting on host city for the 2020 Olympics to Japan is a tribute to his deceitful grandfather Nobusuke Kishi, whose support was crucial to winning the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.

Argues that Tokyo won the 2020 Olympics by concealing Fukushima radiation dangers, and that the International Olympic Committee is beholden to the nuclear industry because its major corporate sponsors all have ties to nuclear power. Asserts that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe pursued the Games to legitimize a covert Japanese nuclear-weapons ambition, linking it to his grandfather Nobusuke Kishi's wartime atomic program and warning of catastrophic risks to Tokyo.

9-8-13 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFukushima & Nuclear Radiation

It does not take 20/20 vision to realize that the corrupt Japanese government has bribed the International Olympic Committee to make the suicidal decision to send young athletes into the radioactive fallout from Fukushima.

Calls for a boycott of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and its corporate sponsors, alleging that Japanese officials bribed the IOC and lied about Fukushima radiation safety to win the bid. Contends that holding the Games would expose athletes and spectators to dangerous radiation, and attacks the organizers as a corrupt clique tied to wartime aristocracy, militarism and organized crime, while criticizing the Olympic movement's links to privilege and the arms industry.

9-1-13 · By Yoichi ShimatsuIsrael, Zionism & the Middle East

The prime cause for agonizing over Syria, sarin is the bogeyman of chemical warfare because it is odorless, lethal and vaporizes without any dispersant, yet it is too cumbersome and risky for use in street combat in a low-tech battlefront like Syria.

Argues that sarin is too volatile and difficult to handle to be a practical battlefield weapon in Syria, so reported poisonings were likely caused by mishandled chemicals or common organophosphate pesticides rather than a government nerve-gas attack. Drawing on the author's coverage of the 1995 Tokyo subway case, he contends 'sarin' is a propaganda 'trigger word' invoking Nazi associations, and claims pro-Israel interests are exploiting the issue to disarm Syria's deterrent against Israel.

7-24-13 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFukushima & Nuclear Radiation

The rising level of tritium measured in kelp samples south of the Fukushima 1 nuclear site is an indicator of intensifying nuclear reactions deep in the soil below the cracked reactors.

Reports the author's field radiation readings of kelp near Fukushima and argues that rising tritium levels signal intensifying underground nuclear reactions beneath the melted reactors. Contends that beta radiation from tritium is a serious cancer risk being downplayed, and warns that a spontaneous tritium-deuterium fusion reaction could trigger plutonium blasts, culminating in apocalyptic scenarios of cascading meltdowns and geological catastrophe. Proposes injecting borax to subdivide the fuel and prevent criticality.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

A rhetorical open letter addressed to Attorney General Eric Holder and President Barack Obama, invoking the memory of Crispus Attucks, the Black man killed in the Boston Massacre. The piece consists largely of an extended quotation from the US Declaration of Independence, implicitly drawing a parallel between its grievances against tyranny and the author's criticism of the contemporary US government.

6-19-13 · By Yoichi ShimatsuChina & Asia-Pacific

Hong Kong hosts only a miniscule Chinese garrison and lacks strategic assets such as nuclear stockpiles, missile bases or even an air-defense system. Why then did the National Security Agency focus its PRISM computer-hacking system on this little island, as exposed by whistleblower Edward Snowden?

Contends that the NSA's PRISM surveillance program targeted Hong Kong not for anti-terrorism but to attack its role as a global financial center and rival to U.S. dollar dominance. Argues that the U.S. Treasury's Office of Intelligence and Analysis runs covert operations to blackmail, entrap, or assassinate foreign bankers, and frames Edward Snowden's leaks as exposing a Treasury-led financial war against centers like Hong Kong, the EU, Japan, and the Vatican Bank.

6-13-13 · By Yoichi ShimatsuChina & Asia-Pacific

It is ironic that so many outspoken journalists and democratic individuals who have consistently opposed China's authority are now feeling discomfort at the sudden arrival of American fugitive Edward Snowden.

Argues that Hong Kong should grant safe harbor to NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, portraying him as a brave dissenter against an American 'mafia state' that conducts unconstitutional global spying. Claims U.S. intelligence and corporate partners like Google and Facebook collect data not to fight terrorism but for political blackmail, and urges Hong Kong to uphold political freedom by protecting him.

Two leading proponents of atomic energy, who clashed over the extent of the Fukushima exclusion zone two years ago, now stand united in their opposition to nuclear power.

Reports on a San Diego forum where Naoto Kan, Japan's prime minister during the 2011 Fukushima meltdowns, and former U.S. NRC chair Gregory Jaczko both voiced opposition to nuclear power. Recounts Kan's account that a worst-case cascade could have forced evacuating Tokyo, and contends he was pushed out by a pro-nuclear bureaucratic coup, while alleging an official cover-up and media suppression of radiation data after the disaster.

5-23-13 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFukushima & Nuclear Radiation

The radioactive particles billowing out of the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant caught the officers and crew of the USS Ronald Reagan unawares.

Claims that the radiation-contaminated carrier USS Ronald Reagan was secretly decontaminated and its irradiated waste shipped to the Hanford Site, which the author argues is a broken, leaking nuclear-weapons complex sitting above an aquifer feeding the Columbia River. Contends the Department of Energy is covertly incinerating waste and that the site threatens downstream communities, framing it as part of a wider West Coast radiation crisis demanding an end to nuclear power.

5-12-13 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFukushima & Nuclear Radiation

The azure glow of Crater Lake was about to be smudged by a band of wispy smoke blowing in eastward on the jet stream.

Recounts the author's field trip with a dosimeter to Washington's Olympic Peninsula, where he claims to have detected elevated radiation in aircraft cabins, washed-up Japanese buoys, and seaweed, attributing it to Fukushima fallout and Tokyo's incineration of radioactive debris. Asserts that U.S. and state officials are failing to warn citizens of radiation risks, and links a Southern California marine-mammal die-off to ocean contamination.

4-23-13 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFukushima & Nuclear Radiation

Beached in front of the San Onofre nuclear power plant, the carcass of a California sea lion was remarkable, for being an adult specimen.

Claims that the author's dosimeter readings of a dead sea lion and of seaweed near the San Onofre Edison nuclear plant reveal high radioactivity, arguing the plant secretly released radioactive water before a regulatory inspection and is covertly dumping waste on Catalina Island. Contends this Edison contamination, alongside Fukushima and Hanford, is causing a Southern California marine-mammal die-off that government agencies are failing to monitor or disclose.

4-14-13 · By Yoichi ShimatsuJapan: Politics, Cults & History

The magnitude 6.3 jolt that just rocked Kobe reminded residents of the killer quake that wrecked the major port of western Japan 18 years ago.

Contends that the 1995 Kobe earthquake and Tokyo subway sarin attack were not merely the work of the Aum Shinrikyo cult but a state-sponsored false-flag operation backed by Japanese rightists, including a young Shinzo Abe, in alliance with Russian and North Korean factions. Claims the plot aimed to fracture China and that the Kobe quake was triggered by an electromagnetic 'earthquake machine,' framing Abe's later nuclear and North Korea policies as a continuation of this fascist agenda.

3-3-13 · By Yoichi ShimatsuJapan: Politics, Cults & History

Japan is staggering under the apocalyptic forces of economic stagnation, chronic debt and nuclear disaster, and now comes the Fourth Horseman of vampire capitalism.

Argues that George Soros and Goldman Sachs engineered Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's 'Abenomics' money-printing and yen-debasement policy as a scheme to crash Japan's economy and reap profits from shorting the yen. Claims Abe was a paid Soros instrument and that the plan aims to spark a global depression toward a neo-fascist order, while making inflammatory antisemitic assertions about Soros's wartime past.

The Western media cover-up, promoted by so-called "meteor experts" planted by the military complex, tells of a fantastic meteorite striking Russia's Urals region, while trying to ignore a second spectacular space disaster in Cuba, which occurred just hours later.

Claims that the February 2013 Chelyabinsk fireball over Russia and a near-simultaneous event over Cuba were not meteors but the crash of a U.S. Air Force orbital weapons platform carrying 'God Rod' depleted-uranium bunker-busters intended for Iran's nuclear sites. Asserts the platform fell from orbit, that a media cover-up using 'meteor experts' concealed this, and that an impact on a Russian reactor could have triggered nuclear war.

2-2-13 · By Yoichi ShimatsuIsrael, Zionism & the Middle East

Ten years ago, the Space Shuttle Columbia exploded on descent during a top-secret mission.

Contends that the 2003 Space Shuttle Columbia disaster was not caused by foam insulation damage but by the malfunction of a secret Israeli anti-ballistic-missile laser weapon mounted aboard, whose americium-242 power system overheated and destroyed the craft. Claims NASA covered this up, that intercepted satellite images prove it, and that the mission also conducted weather-warfare experiments tied to the Iraq War.

Who'd have ever guessed that an initial stab at unraveling the story behind the Sandy Hook school massacre would soon lead to a burgeoning trilogy worthy of Mario Puzo?

The third installment of a series contending that the Sandy Hook school shooting and a related Webster, NY ambush were not lone-gunman crimes but staged operations within an interagency war among corrupt police, the CIA, FBI and Homeland Security. Claims a wave of Connecticut police 'suicides' represents a mob-style purge tied to Senator Joe Lieberman's departure, and frames the killings as calculated political acts amid organized-crime turf wars.

12-22-12 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFalse-Flag Attacks & Mass Shootings

The first half of this analysis of the Connecticut shootings, "MK-ULTRA Links to Sandy Hook Assault", examined how the CIA's mind-control program spread like a metastasizing cancer across the Eastern Seaboard, delivering a nightmarish cocktail of synthetic drugs, sexual abuse and lethal violence.

The second installment of the Sandy Hook series, arguing that Senator Joe Lieberman and 'Zionist politicians' enabled the massacre by protecting organized crime, child-prostitution rings and the pharmaceutical industry over decades in Connecticut. Claims the shooting was a retaliatory strike by mob-linked dirty cops against Homeland Security amid a crackdown on the sex trade, advancing sweeping antisemitic and conspiratorial assertions about elite blackmail and the CIA's MK-ULTRA legacy.

12-20-12 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFalse-Flag Attacks & Mass Shootings

My long-distance interest in the Sandy Hook events is based on ongoing work with a team of anti-pedophile journalists and activists who for over a decade have tracked and exposed American pedophile rings from Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam) to Beijing, China.

The first installment of the Sandy Hook series, contending that the shooting grew out of the CIA's MK-ULTRA mind-control program, which the author claims seeded New England with drugs, sexual abuse and elite pedophile rings tied to the CIA, Jesuit clergy and Irish mob boss Whitey Bulger. Asserts Adam Lanza fit a 'pedophile-ring recruit' profile and that professional hit men, not a lone gunman, carried out the attack as payback in a criminal turf war.

The Mayan Calendar is expiring because there are no more time-keepers.

Argues that the Mayan calendar 'ended' not because of any predicted apocalypse but because Spanish conquistadors and the Inquisition exterminated the Maya's astronomer-timekeepers and destroyed their records, calling it a cultural crime against science akin to the persecution of Galileo. Extends the theme to the present, claiming the nuclear industry and global agencies are running a 'New Inquisition' that suppresses the truth about Fukushima radiation.

12-12-12 · By Yoichi ShimatsuKorea & Nuclear Weapons

On the cusp of national elections in Japan and South Korea, it would seem Pyongyang's decision to fire a "satellite launch" is ill-timed and certain to guarantee electoral victories for pro-military conservative candidates against their more pacifistic rivals.

Contends that North Korea's December 2012 rocket launch was a deliberate, staged provocation that conveniently helped elect pro-military conservatives Shinzo Abe in Japan and Park Geun-hye in South Korea, whom the author casts as 'Manchurian Candidates' linked to a hidden fascist network dating to Japan's wartime empire. Advances elaborate, conspiratorial and antisemitic claims tying Pyongyang, Japanese rightists and Israel's Likud into a covert 'Revisionist-Zionist' alliance against the U.S.

The oddity of an eight-fold rise in radiation levels on the Caloundra Peninsula in southeast Australia, as reported in the South Coast Daily, defies logic since nuclear particles should have been diluted and more evenly spread after traversing the distance of 8,000 kilometers (5,000 miles) from Japan.

Claims that a sharp radiation spike in Australia could not be explained by normal atmospheric dispersal and instead reached there via an 'artificial radiation belt'—a Cold War electromagnetic 'sky bridge' maintained by the HAARP array in Alaska—that channeled Fukushima fallout between hemispheres. Asserts a renewed Reactor 4 crisis was being hidden by TEPCO, and revives the author's claim that HAARP-style technology was used as an 'earthquake machine' tied to the Aum Shinrikyo affair.

Contravening the Japanese government's claim that not a single person has yet to die from Fukushima radiation, national mortality figures just released to the press by the Ministry of Health and Welfare presents undeniable data confirming a record high death rate since the 3.11 disaster.

Argues that Japan's record-high 2011-12 death rate, contrasted against a projected decline, reveals at least 6,000 'excess' deaths the author attributes to Fukushima radiation contaminating the food supply and environment. Claims cesium accumulation caused fatal heart and brain effects, that a falling birth rate reflects radiation fears, and that the government and medical establishment are dishonestly denying a 'radiation epidemic.'

Sixteen tons and what you get is a nuclear catastrophe. The explosions that rocked the Fukushima No.1 nuclear plant were more powerful than the combustion of hydrogen gas, as claimed by the Tokyo Electric Power Company.

Contends that the Fukushima explosions were not hydrogen blasts but the fission of weapons-grade plutonium and uranium secretly stolen from the U.S. Pantex warhead plant and shipped to Japan under a covert Bush-Cheney, Shinzo Abe and Israeli deal to arm Japan with nuclear weapons. Claims Israel double-crossed Tokyo and unleashed the Stuxnet virus that disabled the plant's controls, framing the disaster as a prosecutable crime against humanity.

9-8-11 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFukushima & Nuclear Radiation

Soon after Japan's triple disaster, I suggested that an official cover-up of a nuclear-weapons program hidden inside the Fukushima No.1 plant was delaying the effort to contain the reactor meltdowns.

Argues that a high cesium-137 to cesium-134 ratio found in a California soil-and-manure sample tested at UC Berkeley is proof that weapons-grade material was being enriched and underwent fission at Fukushima, indicating a secret Japanese nuclear-weapons program. Cites the plant's unscheduled reactor operation, a history of wartime atomic research, and an alleged cover-up, concluding that Japan is a 'rogue state' guilty of crimes against humanity.

7-28-11 · By Yoichi ShimatsuFukushima & Nuclear Radiation

A friend in Japan raised questions about the feasibility of underground concrete entrenchment (360-degree entombment) of the damaged reactors at Fukushima No.1 nuclear plant.

Argues that the proposed plan to entomb Fukushima's damaged reactors in underground concrete cannot work because the plant sits on weak seaside landfill prone to liquefaction, sinkholes and continued underground fission fed by seawater. Claims molten fuel and zirconium catalysis could trigger ongoing 'mini-fission' events, and proposes instead pouring neutron-absorbing borax into the seeping water as a cheaper, safer solution.
