    The real contempt of governments for their working class subjects is often made evident, and Okinawa is a prime example.
    Indoctrinated with nationalism, the Okinawans met American gunfire fanatically with bamboo spears – little knowing that Tokyo was planning to unleash plague on them, which would then spread to the Americans too.

    Meiji was savage to socialists and anarchists and to any working class activism.

    Japan is militarising fast. Yet we don’t think world war is coming, and that China will invade Taiwan? If not, why not?

    Please could you briefly elaborate for me, then, what is happening, and why there won’t be a world war? Because to me everything looks really bad.

    Do we still think all-out world war is unlikely (on the grounds that the capitalists won’t destroy their playground)?

    The Japanese general who saved America’s west coast cities from biological attack was given life imprisonment by the Allies, whereas Ishii and his thugs were given immunity.

    The most eloquent and powerful description of homelessness i have read is by Dickens in his overlooked masterpiece (also a powerful indictment of capital punishment), Barnaby Rudge.

    What nationalities were in the Unit 731?

    A member of the Yokusan Sonendan paramilitary political youth branch, who worked for Unit 731, stated that not only were Chinese, Russians, and Koreans present, but also Americans, British, and French people.

    One idiot? Two examples here, the second involving more than one binman.

    “Men Behind the Sun”, called an exploitation movie, shows in fact nothing that has not been attested to as having happened in 731.
    It is a Chinese film.
    Bear in mind that the burning alive of the rats toward the end is real. But this won’t bother any speciesists watching it.

    Also shown in this film is what we know from records of Nazi “doctors” toward human child victims and from Hans Ruesch’s exposés of animal vivisection: the smiling and playing with the victims prior to killing them, as in the case here of the mute Chinese boy.

    This full movie uncut version is dubbed in English.

    Japanese racism was essentially Japan vs all, since the Japanese did not give any special regard to white caucasians, unlike the other colonial powers of course.
    You could be a blonde, blue-eyed American airman or British soldier, and 731 would have especially relished vivisecting you, and American prisoners were used. The Chinese were the main victims because they were the locals, but it could be anyone.
    Unlike the German Nazis, 731 also used nonhuman animal victims. Nothing done by 731 has not been done, and still is, daily, by all nation-states, to nonhuman but fully sentient animals, with barely a murmur. It is a small step, history shows, to human vivisection therefrom. It is simply a psychological “red line”, which to Ishii, and to such people in wartime, is “my nationality vs others.”

    I think it is almost certain that the US made use of Ishii in the Korean War also.
