Obama Hiroshima Give-Aways

The condescending trip to Hiroshima on Memorial Weekend is akin to slapping both America's left and right cheeks with one blow. Only Obama knows the trick in doing that. So deep is it in his psyche.

For a narcissist with low self-esteem, it was the perfect trip and timing that could not be resisted. The narcissist part was fulfilled by historic glory and the "low self-esteem" portion by the groveling to a Barbaric Power that pulverised Pearl Harbor at no provocation whatsoever.

The Japanese is an Arrogant Race. They rank themselves as equals to the West and feel mightily superior over the rest of Asia. But, their humanism up to the point of the dropping of the A-Bomb was totally lacking. They were even very cruel to their own kind. They descended from a tradition where the Shogun can whip out his sword in a moment and slice off a peasant's head if the salutation bow was thought to be effected not low enough.

Their invasions of Asia were marked by unspeakable atrocities in the battle fields and on the civilian populations. Mental barbarity extended to their enforced colonies of comfort women to feed the recurring and audacious lusts of their militia men for as long as their occupation of conquered lands.

They are Shinto Buddhists. A far cry from the Hari Krishna strand of the John Lennon era whose delights on the streets of London were banging drums, dancing and chanting. Maybe some weeds.

The Shinto roots in Japanese Buddhism indulge in worshipping a variety of gods of war. This engendered the elite Japanese to be on a war mongering mastery. The Emperor is the Head of the Religion and fittingly the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Military Forces,

Emperor Hirohito during WW2 had a special War Room inside his Imperial Palace where he tracked, directed and managed the day to day progress of the War. He was inevitably complicit to the inhumane ongoings in the War.

The Japanese are no meek lambs. Had they won the War, imagine the unimaginable dread Asia would have been in..

To be continued in Part 2. Watch out for my 93 year old mother's personal eye witness account of tortured and horribly starved Australian POWs released from Singapore's Changi Prison when the Japanese surrendered in 1945.
