We are so used to the threat from the military Japs in the past, now and
future.

I posted a comment yesterday but my Internet connection was not so
good. This is what I said:

They showed some Japanese, gangsters? who simply looked like scruffy
slightly dirty street people who had some fingers missing the little
finger.

They talked about building up their Japanese, military so they can deal

with Korea, and China.

Some of these Japanese, toy gangsters with missing little fingers
talked about war heroes, and said that they have links with the
Japanese, government and they have finance Japanese political parties.

And you can imagine in front of television cameras blah blah blah and
how the Japanese Prime Minister honoured their war dead because the war

was justified blah blah blah you understand blah blah blah.

To be honest we wouldn't call these people gangsters, they are simply
not the same as us they talk too much and pose too much. They are what

we call toy gangsters..

They look like they needed a good wash is that what Japanese, gangsters

are like scruffy little people?

Although the policeman was very nice do you think Japanese, policeman
take it up the arse?

JAPAN: RED SUN RISING

Unreported World travels to Japan to reveal the rise of an increasingly
influential extreme right-wing nationalist movement; a movement which -
faced with a rising China and belligerent North Korea - is trying to
persuade the government to rewrite Japan's pacifist constitution and
become a nuclear power.

Friday 8 December 2006 7.35pm

Reporter Evan Williams and director Edward Watts meet hardcore
nationalist groups, allegedly funded and controlled by an alliance of
mafia bosses and nationalist politicians, who have been accused of
using intimidation, arson and physical violence to enforce their vision
of a patriotic Japan.

They're calling for Japan to become a military as well as economic
superpower; with an army freed from the constraints imposed by the
Allies after World War Two and armed with nuclear weapons. And they
want atrocities committed by the army written out of the history taught
in the country's schools.

In other countries they might be dismissed as a lunatic fringe. But
their ideas are becoming increasingly influential. Japan's new Prime
Minister Shinzo Abe has declared his intention to adopt some of their
ideas as policy, including discussing the idea of nuclear weapons and
rewriting the constitution, which threatens to further destabilise the
entire region.

The nationalists are stepping up their campaigns - and the use of
violence. The team travel with right wingers on their campaigns in the
huge sound trucks they use to harangue opponents and travel out to a
secret martial arts centre deep in the Japanese countryside where right
wingers train with samurai swords. They tell Williams about their
willingness to use force to keep Japan on the "correct" path.

The team meet those who have been on the receiving end of this
treatment: a newspaper editor whose writers have been attacked, a
senior politician whose mother's house was burnt down by a nationalist
in August and a young woman whose politician father was murdered by a
knife-wielding right winger.

The victims claim that the right wing's apparent freedom to organise
and carry out attacks is terrifying people into silence - and severely
threatening freedom of speech in Japan. Some also claim that right wing
groups are just the foot soldiers of nationalist politicians who use
them to promote their agenda and scare opponents into silence. Many of
the right wing groups are bankrolled and supported by the Yakuza, the
Japanese mafia. Unreported World interviews a senior boss who claims
that the allegations are true - politicians often pull the strings of
right wingers on the streets.

Ordinary Japanese tell Williams that in their view there is no doubt
that a ruthless new nationalist line is being pursued by the government
and senior politicians. The team meet Japanese teachers rising in
protest against new laws ordering students to salute Japan's wartime
flag and sing the wartime national anthem. They meet one of the
teachers who have been sacked for teaching students the true history of
Japan's wartime past.

They also talk to a leader of the North Korean community in Japan which
has been the target of violent attacks by right wing groups. They claim
that the government has barely lifted a finger to protect them.

On the last step of their journey the team gain access to manoeuvres by
the Japanese self-defence forces. No-one can tell where this new
nationalism will take Japan - and what the implications will be for the
world.
