Kamikaze: KAMIKAZE ~AMERICAN JOURNALISM

A Divine Wind

15 August 2012 by stevenlberg

On 15 August 1281 a 神風 (also known as a Kamikaze or Divine Wind) destroyed the invading Mongol fleet thus saving Japan from being taken over by China.

For the 1281 invasion, the Mongols sent two fleets to Japan.  The first was made up of 900 ships with 40,000 troops.  The second fleet had 100,000 troops sailing on 3,400 ships.  Japan had 40,000 troops; both samurai and others.  Because they were so greatly outnumbered, Japan’s prospects appeared hopeless—until the typhoon destroyed all but a few hundred Mongol ships and drowned most of the Mongol force.  In Japanese, kami translates to “divine” and kaze means “wind.”  The typhoon was seen as a divine wind sent by the gods to save Japan.

The 1281 defeat was the second attempt Kublai Khan had made to add Japan to his empire.  The first attempt had been made in 1274.  Because of concerns in other parts of the Mongol Empire, Kublai Khan did not make a third attempt to invade Japan.

Almost seven centuries later, the Japanese pilots who flew their planes in suicide missions were known as Kamikaze pilots.  The name was a direct reference to the 神風 that saved Japan in 1281.  Like the typhoon, the Kamikaze pilots were a divine wind whose mission it was to defeat Japan’s enemies.

[SIDEBAR:  Japan has definitely been in the human front line of being attacked and destroyed.  It's no wonder they became so driven insane in stopping the attackers.  In today's world there's no stopping the weapons of mass destruction.  Can't help but, wonder, what was that Tsunami that hit Japan, was it a 'Divine Wind?'  Or, was IT indeed some kind of weather weapon?

DIVINE WIND.  The question begs, how NOW defined:  HAARP, and / or any and all investments that are called 'future retirements' ?  Insurance is but a derivative in all the counts of human flesh global.  The reality is, psychopathic mass murderers continue to use whatever cover up that can be blanketed on the 'dumb'.  And of course militant killer agents for the owners of FRAUDULENT 'money' WHOM decide ITS' direct kill.

 

Seasoned CBS News Anchor: “Whenever I’m Asked What Is The Most Manipulative And Secretive Administration I’ve Covered, I Always Say It’s The One In Office Now”

American constitutional experts say that Obama is worse than Nixon.

The government has taken to protecting criminal wrongdoing by attacking whistleblowers … and any  journalists who have the nerve to report on the beans spilled by the whistleblowers.  (The government has also repealed long-standing laws against using propaganda against Americans on U.S. soil, and the government is manipulating social media – more proof here and here).

The Obama administration has prosecuted more whistleblowers than all other presidents combined.

And it goes out of its way to smear whistleblowers, threaten reporters who discuss whistleblower information and harass honest analysts.

Journalism is not only being criminalized in America, but investigative reporting is actually treated liketerrorism.

The government admits that journalists could be targeted with counter-terrorism laws (and here). For example, after Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Chris Hedges, journalist Naomi Wolf, Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg and others sued the government to enjoin the NDAA’s allowance of the indefinite detention of Americans – the judge asked the government attorneys 5 times whether journalists like Hedges could be indefinitely detained simply for interviewing and then writing about bad guys. The government refused to promise that journalists like Hedges won’t be thrown in a dungeon for the rest of their lives without any right to talk to a judge

After the government’s spying on the Associated Press made it clear to everyone that the government is trying to put a chill journalism, the senior national-security correspondent for Newsweek tweeted:

Serious idea. Instead of calling it Obama’s war on whistleblowers, let’s just call it what it is: Obama’s war on journalism.

Moreover:

• The Pentagon recently smeared USA Today reporters  because they investigated illegal Pentagon propaganda

• Reporters covering the Occupy protests were targeted for arrest

• The Bush White House worked hard to smear CIA officers,  bloggers and anyone else who criticized the Iraq war

• In an effort to protect Bank of America from the threatened Wikileaks expose of the bank’s wrongdoing, the Department of Justice told Bank of America to a hire a specific hardball-playing law firm to assemble a team to take down WikiLeaks (and see this)

  And the American government has been instrumental in locking up journalists in America (and here),Yemen and elsewhere for the crime of embarrassing the U.S. government.
Moreover, while the Obama administration is spying on everyone in the country – it is at the same time the most secretive administration ever (background). That’s despite Obama saying he’s running the most transparent administration ever.
