Australian Born and raised to a British Father and Sicilian Mother, I was educated in the same western bulls**t you yanks are brainwashed with, the only difference is I have lived in over 8 countries around the world and have cracked open a lot of books and learnt that the Western History Crap we were taught is school IS bulls**t by the US, UK and Australian Government. You learn more when you can speak, read and write other languanges.

I only moved to Japan in 2003. I spent 2 years living in Taiwan in the early 1990’s, and if you care to learn Chinese and travel to Taiwan, you will read their history books that showed the Emperor of China asked Japan for help in the 1930's because the Communist were taking over China. Japan was helping the Emperor and the National Party to set up a Country with in China, but the Communists cried to the US and the US wanted to help but could not unless their declared war against Japan, which also leads to the US provoking Japan to war.

Most of the murders in China were carried out by the National Party that ended up fleeing to what is now known as TAIWAN. But at the end of WWII the US and China BLAMED Japan for most of the Murders in China, if you care to get an education you will read in both Taiwan History Books and Japanese History books that the Japanese only killed about 100,000 people the rest of the people killed were by both the National Party of China and the Communist Party of China. But Hey China will NOT tell the truth when they get $10Billion a year from Japan as compensation for WWII that the US forced on Japan when the US was occupying Japan.

Question to you, Why did the US military in the Korean War stand by and watch as the South Korean Government murdered over 100,000 of their own citizens. It has been in the news a lot of late with Photos of US military Personal standing by and taking photos of the South Korean Military murdering civvies and tossing the bodies in to mass graves.

Death squads and mass graves: the full horror of the Korean War, finally unearthed

Grave by mass grave, South Korea is unearthing the skeletons and buried truths of a cold-blooded slaughter from early in the Korean War, when this nation's US-backed regime killed untold thousands of leftists and hapless peasants in a summer of terror in 1950.

With US military officers sometimes present, and as North Korean invaders pushed down the peninsula, the southern army and police emptied South Korean prisons, lined up detainees and shot them in the head, dumping the bodies into hastily dug trenches. Others were thrown into abandoned mines or into the sea.

Women and children were among those killed, many of whom never faced charges or trial.

Blah Blah Blah

Through the postwar decades of South Korean right-wing dictatorships, victims' fearful families kept silent about that blood-soaked summer. American military reports of the South Korean slaughter were stamped "secret" and filed away in Washington. Communist accounts were dismissed as lies.

Only since the 1990s, and South Korea's democratization, has the truth begun to seep out.

In 2002, a typhoon uncovered one mass grave. Another was found by a television news team that broke into a sealed mine.

Further corroboration comes from a trickle of declassified U.S. military documents, including U.S. Army photographs of a mass killing outside this central South Korean city.

Now Kim's Truth and Reconciliation Commission has added government authority to the work of scattered researchers, family members and journalists trying to peel away the long-running cover-up.

The commissioners have the help of a handful of remorseful old men.

"Even now, I feel guilty that I pulled the trigger," said Lee Joon-young, 83, one of the executioners in a secluded valley near Daejeon in early July 1950.

The retired prison guard said he knew that many of those shot and buried en masse were ordinary convicts or illiterate peasants wrongly ensnared in roundups of supposed communist sympathizers. They didn't deserve to die, he said. They "knew nothing about communism."

The 17 investigators of the commission's subcommittee on "mass civilian sacrifice," led by Kim, have also been dealing with 215 cases in which the U.S. military is accused of the indiscriminate killing of South Korean civilians in 1950-51, usually in air attacks.

Blah Blah Blah

In 1953, after the war ended in stalemate, after the deaths of at least 2 million people, half or more of them civilians, a US Army war crimes report attributed all summary executions here in Daejeon to the "murderous barbarism" of North Koreans.

Such myths survived a half-century, in part because those who knew the truth were cowed into silence.

You can see (In Red Font) the US LIED about the MURDERS and BLAMED the NORTH KOREANS. So you are telling me I should believe the US about Japan and WWII.. yeah right, in ya dreams!

Not that I really give a rats a**e about the South Koreans, but let me Guess, if you are on the US side you can commit any crime against humanity that you like and get away with it, but if you are not on the US side then you will hear the BS from the US for the next 100 years.






My advice to you, obtain a passport and leave the security of the US, travel the world, crack open a few books outside of the US to EDUCATED yourself, but we both know that will NOT happen, as when you can only speak English, you cannot know the truth in other languages, so you are stuck believing the BS you are taught in English!

Another problem with westerns is that we have a CLOSED mind and REFUSE to accept other things and will ONLY believe what we have been taught from when we were children. When OTHERS try and tell us something that is NOT to our liking or beliefs we label then as crack pots or lefties or any number of other small minded labels.
