Kam einer der verlorenen Stämme Israels nach Japan?
Kam einer der verlorenen Stämme Israels nach Japan?
Dieser Frage geht Richard Koshimizu nach auf seiner Homepage.
Nachdem in Äthiopien, in Kashmir, selbst in Teilen Schwarzafrikas (Lemba) Spuren der verlorenen Stämme glaubhaft gefunden werden, ja sogar in Großbritannien Hinweise auf jüdische Einflüsse gefunden wurden, versucht der o.g. Autor Parallelen in Sitten und Gebräuchen zu finden, welche auf eine kulturelle Einflußnahme hinweisen. Die folgenden Betrachtungen sind vollkommen wertfrei und bringen verblüffende details zu Tage.
Die Bundeslade und der Schrein
Da ist zum Einen der Shinto-Schrein mit seiner Ähnlichkeit zur Bundeslade, nur statt der Cherube der Lade krönt ein Vogel den Shinto-Schrein.
Vor den Shinto-Tempeln stehen stets zwei steinerne Löwen – nun ja, so ähnlich jedenfalls, in Japan gibt es eben keine Löwen. Aber „der Löwe von Juda“ ist in der Geschichte der Juden überall vertreten.
Das Gion-Fest in Japan
Am Gion-Fest (klingt so ähnlich wie Zionfest) wird der Yasaka-Schrein durch die Straßen geführt, die Schnitzereien sind identisch mit der Genesis der Bibel, am gleichen Tag, dem 17.7. wird in Israel ein Schrein durch die Straßen getragen. Der japanische Tengu-Priester könnte auch einer anderen Kultur zugeordnet werden. Auffällig ist, daß diese Schreine nicht im benachbarten Korea und China auftreten.
Der Davidstern in Kyoto
Dieser Manai Shinto-Schrein mit Davidstern steht in Kyoto und ist einer der ältesten im Lande.
Der Tempel ist in beiden Kulturen defacto identisch strukturiert.
Die Priester beider Kulturen stoßen zu bestimmten Anlässen in ein Horn
und tragen identische Gegenstände vor der Stirn.
Die Schrift weist gewisse strukturelle Ähnlichkeiten auf (hebräisch oben)
und die Reinigungsbäder (ohne Seife in das saubere Wasser!) werden traditionell in identischer Weise vorgenommen.
Der Kuchen zum Neuen Jahr schaut ähnlich aus, nur ist dieser in Japan aus Reis und nicht aus Weizen und die Zeremonien zum Erntedank sind praktisch identisch.
Das Staunen der Leser kennt keine Grenzen. Nun ja, und die Bombe von Hiroshima wurde von dem Juden Oppenheimer gebaut, der Befehl wurde vom jüdischen US-Präsidenten Truman erteilt, der militärische Oberbefehlshaber der US-Streitkräfte wurde von dem Juden Eisenhower wahrgenommen.

Alliance of Somali Warlords Battles Islamists in Capital

Alliance of Somali Warlords Battles Islamists in Capital
By MARC LACEY
NAIROBI, Kenya, May 12 — A new front in the fight against terrorism has broken out on the streets of Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, as a group of Islamists battle Somali warlords allied with Washington's aim of rooting out Muslim extremism from the region.
In six days of some of the worst street combat since the central government collapsed in 1991, nearly 150 people have been killed, most of them noncombatants caught in machine-gun and artillery fire.
On Friday morning, heavy shooting could be heard in some parts of the disintegrating capital, although the gunfire appeared to subside somewhat later in the day, according to Mogadishu residents reached by telephone from Kenya.
While the American Embassy in Nairobi called on all parties to cease fighting, the United States government has been accused of backing the warlords, who have fashioned themselves into an antiterrorism alliance, rooting out elements of Al Qaeda in their midst.
"It's a well-established fact for the last few years that U.S. counterterrorism officials and other intelligence officials have been working through Somali partners to fight extremists," said Suliman Baldo, director for Africa policy at the International Crisis Group, a Geneva-based advocacy group that studies wars around the world.
"From the little we know, the U.S. is not supporting the warlords with arms, per se," Mr. Baldo said. Instead, he added, American operatives were paying the warlords to help track down and apprehend those in Somalia suspected of being members of Al Qaeda.
In one episode outlined in an International Crisis Group report last year, American intelligence officers offered a Somali clan leader $4 million if he captured Tariq Abdallah, a suspected Qaeda leader traced to a Mogadishu guest house. When the clan leader's militia launched a raid on the house, however, the suspect (also known as Abu Talha al-Sudani) was not found there, the report said.
The warlords, who say they have joined America's fight against terrorism, are calling themselves the Alliance for the Restoration of Peace and Counterterrorism. They are led by Mohammed Deere, Mohammed Qanyare and Bahire Rageh, all powerful figures in Mogadishu.
In interviews, American officials declined to detail their relationship with the warlords, and said only that their goal was to support both the fight against terrorism and the recently formed transitional government that is struggling to gain a foothold.
But the president of that transitional government pointed his finger at the United States and said American counterterrorism efforts would work better if they went through Somalia's fledgling government, not through individual warlords.
"They really think they can capture Al Qaeda members in Somalia," President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed said. "But the Americans should tell the warlords they should support the government, and cooperate with the government."
The United States has kept a wary eye on Somalia since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, fearing that extremists would take advantage of the country's anarchy to use it as a base of operations, just as occurred in Afghanistan in the 1990's.
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld even ordered military commanders to examine options for an attack on Somalia, according to the bipartisan 9/11 Commission Report.
Initial Pentagon suspicions of Qaeda training camps in Somalia have not yielded anything. But evidence has emerged of the presence of some terrorists in the country.
Fazul Abdullah Muhammad, a suspect in both the 2002 bombing of an Israeli-owned hotel on Kenya's coast and the 1998 bombing of embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, held one of his planning sessions in Mogadishu, according to a United Nations study of the weapons flow into Somalia.
In recent months, diplomats and other analysts in the region say, Western intelligence officials have been delving into the murky world of Mogadishu, where money buys loyalty, at least for a while.
The American government's approach toward Somalia, which seems to put the fight against terrorism above all else, has drawn some criticism in Washington.
"If our principal objective is to fight terrorism and extremism in Somalia, what have we achieved thus far in light of the huge financial and security investments in the region?" asked Ted Dagne, an Africa analyst at the Congressional Research Service in Washington. "Somalia is still without a central government, divided, and controlled by warlords."
He added, "If we fail to focus on this generation of Somali kids and help them, they could become the next warlords out of necessity and desperation."
The warlords who are fighting the Islamists say they are acting out of principle, not pay.
"These terrorists want this country to adopt a Taliban style," said Hussein Gutale Rage, a spokesman for the warlords' alliance. "The Americans have not given us anything so far. We share their hatred of terrorism."
The alliance is battling a loose coalition of Islamists who are allied with the Islamic law courts that have popped up in Mogadishu over the last decade. With a lack of government control, the courts have emerged as an independent power center, largely outside the clan hierarchy.
Accusing the warlords of being puppets of Washington, the Islamists have filled a gap left by the lack of government structure, winning converts to their ideology by running local schools and charities.
One of the leaders of the Union of Islamic Courts is Sheik Hassan Dahir Aweys, an imam and former soldier whom the American government has linked to Al Qaeda. The United Nations has accused him of receiving a large cache of arms from a nearby country in violation of the embargo on providing weapons to Somalia.
"We will have to liberate our people from these warlords, who have been shedding our people's blood for the past 15 years," he told The Associated Press recently. He also told the BBC that he was part of the "mujahedeen who are fighting back."
Another person linked to the Islamic courts is Aden Hashi Ayro, a protégé of Sheik Aweys who, some say, has become a renegade militia leader who answers to no one. Mr. Ayro is suspected of being linked to a string of assassinations of businesspeople, intellectuals, peace activists and others in recent months. The killings are believed to have been intended to send a message against any foreign tampering in Somalia.
In 2005, Sheik Aweys led an attack on an Italian cemetery in Mogadishu, in which human remains were dug up to protest foreign intervention in Somalia. His fighters have also joined with other militias to close down cinemas in the capital that were accused of showing immoral films. They oppose proposals to bring an outside peacekeeping force into Mogadishu.
"This is a resource conflict and a religious conflict," said Jabril Ibrahim Abdulle, director of Center for Research and Dialogue. "Everybody wants to make money, but the religious leaders are also turning this into a war against the West."

U.S. Military Chiefs Planned to Orchestrate Terrorism in U.S.
U.S. Military Chiefs Planned to Orchestrate Terrorism in U.S.
"In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba. Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities."
-- ABC News, 5/1/01
Dear friends,
The ABC News article quoted above states that Operation Northwoods was approved in writing by the top U.S. military chiefs. These plans even proposed that the U.S. military sacrifice innocent American civilians to create a pretext for war with the justification that "casualty lists in US newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation." Elements within the U.S. government wanted that badly to create a false pretext for war. Does this ring a bell? You can read the full eye-opening article on the ABC website at:

Our website focuses on providing reliable, verifiable facts which are being hidden from public view. By spreading this vital information, each of us can make a difference.
To access 15 highly revealing pages of declassified U.S. military documents on Operation Northwoods as posted on the National Security Archive of George Washington University, see the link to our Operation Northwoods Information Center immediately below. Instructions are also provided to access all 181 pages of these once top-secret documents on the website of the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration.
http://www.WantToKnow.info/010501operationnorthwoods
These astonishing documents were approved in writing by the Joint Chiefs of Staff—the top generals of each branch of the U.S. military. Only rejection by the Kennedy administration kept them from being implemented. They were classified top secret so that the American public would not know how it was being manipulated. A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request just a few years ago brought them to light for the first time. The current administration is working hard to keep information like this from reaching the public.
If you don't have time to read the original documents, do take a look at the key excerpts below. And as you read, remember before the war in Iraq the certainty with which many top government officials stated that there were weapons of mass destruction there. Like on August 26, 2002 when Vice President Cheney declared, "Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction" (click here to see this statement on the White House website, about two-thirds down the page). We invite you to then ask yourself, is it beyond comprehension that this same kind of thinking and planning might have led to 9/11?
Key Excerpts from Operation Northwoods Documents
Page 1 of File (Memorandum)
MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
Subject: Justification for U.S. Military Intervention in Cuba
The Joint Chiefs of Staff have considered the attached Memorandum for the Chief of Operations, Cuba Project, which responds to a request of that office for brief but precise description of pretexts which could provide justification for U.S. military intervention in Cuba. It is assumed that a single agency will be given the primary responsibility for developing military and para-military aspects of the basic plan. It is recommended that this responsibility for both overt and covert military operations be assigned the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Page 5 of File (page 2 of Joint Chiefs report)
World opinion, and the United Nations forum should be favorably affected by developing the international image of the Cuban government as rash and irresponsible, and as an alarming and unpredictable threat to the peace of the Western Hemisphere.
Page 10-11 of File (page 7-8 of Joint Chiefs report)
A series of well coordinated incidents will be planned to take place in and around Guantanamo to give genuine appearance of being done by hostile Cuban forces.
(1) Start rumors (many). Use clandestine radio.
(2) Land friendly Cubans in uniform “over-the-fence” to stage attack on base.
(3) Capture Cuban (friendly) saboteurs inside the base.
(4) Start riots near the base main gate (friendly Cubans).
(5) Blow up ammunition inside the base: start fires.
(6) Burn aircraft on air base (sabotage).
(7) Lob mortar shells from outside of base into base.
(8) Capture assault teams approaching from the sea or vicinity of Guantanamo City.
(9) Capture militia group which storms base.
(10) Sabotage ship in harbor; large fires – naphthalene.
(11) Sink ship near harbor entrance. Conduct funerals for mock-victims.
We could blow up a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba. Casualty lists in US newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation. We could develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington.
Page 12 of File (page 9 of Joint Chiefs report)
Use of [Soviet] MIG type aircraft by US pilots could provide additional provocation. Attacks on surface shipping and destruction of US military drone aircraft by MIG type planes would be useful as complementary actions. Reasonable copies of the MIG could be produced from US resources in about three months.
Page 13 of File (page 10 of Joint Chiefs report)
It is possible to create an incident which will demonstrate convincingly that a Cuban aircraft has attacked and shot down a chartered civil airliner enroute from the United States. The destination would be chosen only to cause the flight plan to cross Cuba. The passengers could be a group of college students off on a holiday.
An aircraft at Eglin AFB would be painted and numbered as an exact duplicate for a civil registered aircraft belonging to a CIA proprietary organization in the Miami area. At the designated time the duplicate would be substituted for the actual civil aircraft and would be loaded with selected passengers, all boarded under carefully prepared aliases. The actual aircraft would be converted to a drone. [The fact that the military had the capability to fly unmanned drone airplanes back in the 1960s was kept top secret for decades. - ed.]
The drone aircraft and the actual aircraft will be scheduled to allow a rendezvous south of Florida. From the rendezvous point the passenger-carrying aircraft will descend to minimum altitude and go directly into an auxiliary field at Eglin AFB where arrangements will have been made to evacuate the passengers and return the aircraft to its original status. The drone aircraft meanwhile will continue to fly the filed flight plan. When over Cuba the drone will be transmitting on the international distress frequency a “MAY DAY” message stating he is under attack by Cuban MIG aircraft. The transmission will be interrupted by destruction of the aircraft which will be triggered by radio signal.
What We Can Do
Remember that government and military leaders think of this like a chess game. Sometimes you have to sacrifice your own pieces in order to win the game. Zbigniew Brzezinski, former U.S. National Security Advisor and co-founder of the Trilateral Commission, titled his 1997 book The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives. In this seminal book on American foreign policy, Brzezinksi states that because of popular resistance to U.S. military expansionism, his ambitious strategy for "American global primacy" can’t be implemented "except in the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat." (The Grand Chessboard page 211).
Consider also that in September 2000, a think-tank named Project for the New American Century (PNAC) published a blueprint for maintaining global U.S. preeminence and shaping the international security order in line with American interests. Written before the 2000 Presidential election, this revealing report was commissioned by future Vice President Cheney, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, Deputy Defense Secretary Wolfowitz, and Florida Governor Jeb Bush. The report shows that the Bush administration intended to take military control of Persian Gulf oil whether or not Saddam Hussein was in power. [See article in Sunday Herald, 9/7/02 or click here to download the report--Rebuilding America's Defenses]
Considering the above information, is it beyond comprehension that tactics similar to Operation Northwoods might have been used in relation to the 9/11 attacks in order to create "a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat?" Could 9/11 have been the pretext upon which to build a War on Terror in order to "maintain global US preeminence?" Might the 9/11 attacks have been allowed to happen, or even facilitated and manipulated by elements of the U.S. government and military?

What We Can Do
Remember that government and military leaders think of this like a chess game. Sometimes you have to sacrifice your own pieces in order to win the game. Zbigniew Brzezinski, former U.S. National Security Advisor and co-founder of the Trilateral Commission, titled his 1997 book The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives. In this seminal book on American foreign policy, Brzezinksi states that because of popular resistance to U.S. military expansionism, his ambitious strategy for "American global primacy" can’t be implemented "except in the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat." (The Grand Chessboard page 211).
Consider also that in September 2000, a think-tank named Project for the New American Century (PNAC) published a blueprint for maintaining global U.S. preeminence and shaping the international security order in line with American interests. Written before the 2000 Presidential election, this revealing report was commissioned by future Vice President Cheney, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, Deputy Defense Secretary Wolfowitz, and Florida Governor Jeb Bush. The report shows that the Bush administration intended to take military control of Persian Gulf oil whether or not Saddam Hussein was in power.

Considering the above information, is it beyond comprehension that tactics similar to Operation Northwoods might have been used in relation to the 9/11 attacks in order to create "a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat?" Could 9/11 have been the pretext upon which to build a War on Terror in order to "maintain global US preeminence?" Might the 9/11 attacks have been allowed to happen, or even facilitated and manipulated by elements of the U.S. government and military?
