JG Ballard's Masterpiece!

How Steven Spielberg Altered JG Ballard’s ‘Empire of the Sun’! (22.2.2024)

I agree, the film is stunning, moving and dialectically thrilling – but did Spielberg work his Zionist magic? After watching the Blu-ray of Empire of the Sun a number of times and re-reading JG Ballard’s beautiful novel – I have yet again detected Spielberg fiddling with the perception of the world – using his usual method of precise omission. Jim declares that he has become an ‘atheist’ – but Spielberg censors-out the fact that he is also thinking of joining the Communist Party. Chiang Kai-Shek made a habit of beheading any caught Communist guerrillas – placing their heads on spikes in the centre of Shanghai for all to see. Jim had become impressed with the Communist Unions that agitated for the rights of workers employed by ‘White’ Europeans (such as his father) – and the battle waged by Mao Zedong and his forces living in the hills (a famous Chinese actress had resigned from her lavish profession in the Movies and the cinemas – and had joined Mao Zedong’s Communist guerrillas) – all omitted by Spielberg.

The Mighty Okinawan Lion!

Ryukyu: Studying the ‘Okinawa’ Name! (22.2.2024)

I was asked about the history and meaning of the name ‘Okinawa’ and ‘Ryukyu’ – both Japanese in origin – but premised upon older Chinese ideograms. At the above link, there is my research regarding the forensic study of the ideograms involved and my conclusions premised upon these findings. The term ‘Okinawa’ appears to be a post-1872 CE construct – at least in regard to the forming of the Japanese Prefecture of that name. Generally, Chinese literature does not use this term – but prefers the far older ‘Lu Qiu’ designation which dates back around 1500-years.

Comrade Kim Jo Yomg - DPRK!

DPRK: Kim Jo Yong – Vice Department Director of Central Committee – Workers’ Party of Korea – Press Statement! (17.2.2024)

Japanese Prime Minister Kishida reportedly said at a recent meeting of the Budget Committee of the House of Representatives that he badly feels the need to boldly change the present situation prevailing between Japan and the DPRK. He also underlined the need to actively establish relations with the President of the State Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) – adding that he is now making sustained efforts to do so through different channels.

Randori - An Ancient Japanese Art!

Discussing the ‘Randori’ [乱取り] Concept Found within Okinawan & Japanese Martial Arts! (11.2.2024)

A skill is missing which must be acquired and formulated into an effective code. In other words, the ability to fight is a) lacking, b) must be attained, and c) its principles placed into a logical code for others to follow. Within Okinawan and Japanese martial arts this refers to training for combat – or what is referred to as ‘Sparring’ in the West. This is NOT sport fighting for egotistical reasons – but rather self-defence so that the physical body ‘survives’ any martial encounter. The body may be wounded or unhurt – either it is alive. This is different to gaining a piece of coloured cloth worn around the waist – or a shining tin cup, etc. Fighting for one’s life is very different to fighting for money.

US-Japanese Arms Race!

DPRK: US Reckless Act of Increasing Danger of Nuclear War! (4.2.2024)

The U.S. expands the sphere of deployment of the latest nuclear bombs at a time when military confrontation among countries and forces is escalating and the international situation is getting ever-more acute in different parts of the world. This more clearly shows the U.S. true colours as the chief criminal of nuclear proliferation, mastermind of nuclear arms race and chieftain of nuclear war outbreak.

All the facts go to prove that the DPRK’s efforts for bolstering up the nuclear war deterrence are an indispensable contribution to resolutely frustrating the U.S. and its allies’ undisguised provocations on a worldwide scale and maintaining the strategic balance and stability of the world.

The international community should heighten vigilance against the U.S. criminal moves for deploying its nuclear weapons in other countries and more bitterly condemn them as they are driving the whole world closer into the threshold of a nuclear war.

Under Water Missile

DPRK: Ministry of National Defence Issues Press Statement! (19.1.2024)

Our Army’s Underwater (Nuclear-Based) Countering Posture is being further rounded off and its various Maritime and Underwater responsive actions will continue to deter the hostile military manoeuvres of the Navies of the U.S. and its allies.

We strongly denounce the U.S. and its followers for their reckless acts of seriously threatening the security of the DPRK from the outset of the year and sternly warn them of the catastrophic consequences to be entailed by them.

The Armed Forces of the DPRK will strike horror into their hearts through responsible, prompt and bold exercise of its deterrent and firmly defend the security of the state and regional peace by dint of great strength, never tolerating the reckless military confrontation hysteria of the enemies.
