Truth about Japan

Prosecutors arrested Shigetake Ogata, former director general of the Public Security Intelligence Agency, and two others on June 28 on suspicion of fraud in connection with the transfer of the ownership of the headquarter of North Korea in Japan.

Bay City News Wire reports: A group of Asian Americans were calling on the community and elected officials today to help lobby the Japanese government into an apology for the forced prostitution it forced on Asian women before and during World War II. Members of the Global Alliance for Preserving the History of World War II in Asia, the Chinese Americans for Democracy in Taiwan and others met in a Chinese restaurant today to encourage support for House Resolution 121, introduced by Rep.

For example, the description "gang rape, forced abortions, humiliation, and sexual violence resulting in mutilation, death, or eventual suicide in one of the largest cases of human trafficking in the 20th century" is grounded in no historical facts. While they don't tell the number of the "human trafficking", how can they declare it is the largest one in the 20th century? It's a shame for the U.S. Congress to say such a nonsense. And it's sad th
