2024 Shogun Series

Shogun: Exposing & Resisting Disney-fication! (7.3.2024)

On the other hand, if US-born (Asian) actors – pretending to be a) Japanese and b) medieval – presses your buttons then this show is definitely for you. An extra treat is in store if you like random White (European) people pretending to be a) English, and b) Elizabethan. The fact Japan is currently (and deliberately) pumping nuclear waste into the South China Sea has much to do with the manner in which this mini-series has been received. This happens at a time when Japan continues to antagonise China by refusing to acknowledge internationally recognised boundaries – whilst not apologising for WWII atrocities! A positive US decreed media consensus has declared this piece of parody (and Eurocentric mimicry) to be universally a ‘great success’. 

The Brutality of Imperial Japan!

Imperial Japanese Brutality as Ritual – ‘Misogi’ [禊] & ‘Harae’ [祓] During WWII! (25.2.2024)

At the same time, the US turned an Occupied Japan into a fascist, liberal democratic (capitalist) state that exists to spread race-hate toward North Korea and China! Perhaps the greatest irony involves the fact that the martial-related rituals that facilitated this Imperial Japanese madness, within ten-years of the end of WWII, saw Westerners in their hundreds and thousands voluntarily flocking to done the ‘White’ Gi (not realising that ‘White’ in Japan is the colour of both ‘death’ and ‘mourning’) and participate in the bare-footed practice of the (unfaniliar) very Japanese martial arts that had just been used to kill and maim millions throughout Asia between 1931-1945. The US demanded the spread of Japanese martial arts throughout the West in an effort to ‘hide’ and ‘obscure’ the martial arts of the Chinese people who were our allies during WWII – and who have been our peaceful neighbours for centuries!

Goju Ryu Karate-Do

Karate Kid Movie [1984] Blu-Ray – “Mr Miyagi” Reconsidered! (14.1.2024)

The authors of the film ‘Karate Kid’ (1984) had a paradox to overcome. On the one hand they wanted a traditional ‘Okinawan’ Karate-Do master – who at the same time had NOTHING to do with Okinawa either before or during WWII! This entire idea is racist and disrespectful to the hundreds of thousands of Okinawan men, women and children who died being trapped between the Imperial Japanese Army and the invading US Marines – and those who died fighting the Americans or were murdered by US troops after surrender. Of course, many thousands of Okinawan women and girls were raped by US troops once captured. Although Mr Miyagi had to represent everything ‘martial’ that defines Okinawan history – including its stand against the invading US Forces – he also had to be completely ‘detached’ from everything ethnically ‘Okinawan’ so as not to disturb the Eurocentric sensitivities of the average US audience!

Normandy: Remembering the Allied Sacrifices of D-Day (6.6.1944) – 79th Anniversary! (6.6.2023)

The British Glider Troops were tasked with seizing local landmarks (such as ‘Pegasus Bridge’) of tactical and strategic importance from the local Nazi German defenders – and hold these assets in the face of the expected Nazi German counter-attack. Meanwhile, Arthur Gibson (as a member of the Royal Navy) was busy protecting Northern Britain by preventing a Nazi German invasion – whilst keeping the sea lanes free of Nazi German ‘mines’ so that Allied Shipping could move (free of this risk) throughout the North Atlantic. This included the assisting of the Russian (Soviet) Arctic Convoys – although the presence of Nazi German U-Boats was an ever-present threat!

Undermining the Ineffective Far-Right Notion of Martial Arts! (1.6.2023) 

Raw bones must be strengthened through constant and debilitating impact, and striking must be designed (and delivered) through a bare hand, foot, elbow, knee or head, etc, to strike through and directly into the nervous system – so that the neural network is immediately paralysed! The groin area must be ‘de-sensitised’ through continuous striking, and balance must be firmed-up through continuous pushing and pulling! The head and neck must be positioned so that the striking limb of the opponent is ‘hurt’ by the recoil received when the skull is used in the correct self-defence orientation! No amount of reading Mein Kampf or acting in a deviant ‘gay’ manner will instil these abilities in the mind (and body) of the average fascist.
