China: Legacy of WWII Concentration Camp honours Friendship & Peace! (28.8.2025)

During the event, Stanley met Han Chongbin, an 80-year-old whose father once aided expatriates at the Weihsien concentration camp.

“At that time, out of pity for the internees, my father spent his own money to buy candy and brought eggs from home, managing to send them into the concentration camp. In return, the internees dismantled an iron bed and sent it out,” Han said. “He never expected that his help would be ‘rewarded.'”

In 2019, Han donated the iron bed to the museum. Now a museum volunteer, he shares stories about that period of history with visitors.

With the help of translators, he and Stanley shared a heartfelt conversation, holding hands like old friends. “Peace is our common aspiration,” Stanley said.

“Remembering suffering is not perpetuating hatred; it is igniting the beacon of hope for the future,” said Ayo Ayoola-Amale, vice chair of the governing council of International Cities of Peace.

“Weifang’s commitment to preserving this legacy — establishing the camp’s memorial museum, inviting descendants of survivors to return, and educating younger generations with truth — epitomizes the deepest practice of peace. Such courage deserves global recognition,” she said.

China: Shaolin Head Monk – Shi Yongxin – Under Investigation for Alleged Criminal Offenses! (28.7.2025)

In Japan, a Buddhist monk or nun can get married, produce children, eat meat, and drink alcohol. In other words, these people are lay-people in robes – but are practicing dishonesty. A group of Chinese Ch’an monks had been following the Vinaya Discipline when they travelled to Japan to spread the Ch’an Dharma – but returned with Japanese wives and children – and wearing lay-clothing – eating meat and drinking alcohol. In front of Xu Yun – these “monks” petitioned the post-1949 government of China to permanently abolish the Ch’an requirement for monks and nuns to be celibate and vegetarian. Xu Yun is said to have loudly slapped the table – stating that the Chinese government should do the exact opposite – that is, integrate the Vinaya Discipline into the fabric of China’s secular law. If a man or woman wants to be an ordained Buddhist monk or nun, then it should be a legal requirement – punishable by secular law – if they fail to uphold the rules and regulations of the lifestyle they have chosen to follow. Being a Buddhist monastic is a “job” that requires a strict form of lifestyle.

Satoshi Uematsu, "Hitler is My Protecor!"

Japan: Knife Attacker – Uematsu Satoshi – [植松 聖] Inspired By Hitler – Kills 19 and Wounds 26 Disabled People at Sagamihara Care Centre! (22.6.2025)

What is extraordinary is that whilst the bourgeois media (including the BBC and Guardian) purposely “ignored” what was happening in the UK and refused to report upon on it (remaining “silent” about the endless protests) – the same media quite happily covered the mass murder of 19 disabled people in Japan by a man who even died his hair “blonde” out of a sense of solidarity with Nazi Germany (he also wounded 25 others – 20 seriously)! As I missed this terrible story then, nine-years later I am placing the details on this blog. The murderer still sits on Japan’s Death Row – writing endless replies to fan-mail received from all over the world (mostly from male members of the far-right – and women who want to marry him) – stating his belief that he freed these people from a hopeless situation – whilst his actions saved the Japanese State billions in yen each year! Ironically, although Japan is a US colony, the US Authorities hypocritically insisted on “outlawing” gun ownership (and usage) throughout Japan post-1945. The US far-right is allows banging-on about gun-ownership being the foundation of Western freedom – whilst ignoring the fact that gun-ownership is prohibited in the UK, Eire, and most of Western Europe (including Greece – the cradle of Western civilisation). The same situation prevails in the US colonies of South Korea and the Philippines. The (White) US Authorities are apprehensive that their non-White subordinates might use such weaponry – if it were available throughout civil society (as is the case in the US) – to initiate a Socialist Revolution – and overthrow the American status quo. This is why the murderer resorted to a “knife” to commit his acts of deadly fascist hate

Japan: Report Confirms – US-Style Sexual Degeneracy – “Spreading Well” Since 1945! (15.3.2025)

Police in Japan have arrested seven men for allegedly raping their minor daughters and sharing video of the abuse on chat rooms.

The men from Aichi Prefecture, aged between 30 and 50 years, have been accused of sexual assault as well as violations of laws pertaining to sexual exploitation of children, the Mainichi Shimbun reported.

Four of the men are accused of raping their biological or foster daughters and sharing the abuse videos on a social media group. Three other men, who were part of the same chat group, were arrested for allegedly owning obscene images of child abuse. The survivors were between the ages of six and 14.

The accused allegedly shared details of their abuse on the chat and how they “trained” the children since they were as young as three years old. The Aichi police believe the accused regularly sexually abused their daughters and other children.

Tens of Thousands of Koreans Forced to Work in Japan!

DPRK: Press Statement – Association of Korean Victims of WWII Forcible Drafting and Bereaved Families! (14.3.2025)

Hundreds of B-29 large bombers of the U.S. forces flew into the sky over Tokyo and Osaka of Japan on March 10 and 13, 1945, the end of the Pacific War ignited by the Japanese imperialists, made massive air raids while dropping incendiaries and other bombs at random.

At that time the Japanese imperialists kept Koreans in custody in groups, claiming that Koreans who had been subjected to subhuman maltreatment and humiliation, dangerous and toilsome labour could escape in the confusion of air raids. As a result, many Koreans died an accidental death.

According to “Study of War Responsibilities” No.53, the organ of the Japanese Data Center for War Responsibilities, on the damage of Korean people in the large-scale air raids on Tokyo, the war victims are 41 300 and the death toll will far exceed 10 000.
