That Was Fast

The new Japanese Prime Minister is already resigning:

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba plans to step down following a bruising upper house election defeat, a source told Reuters, as the embattled premier announced a long-sought trade deal with U.S. President Donald Trump. The 68-year old leader said media reports that he had already decided to resign were “completely unfounded.”

Ishiba chose not to quit straight after the election to prevent political instability as an August 1 deadline for clinching the trade deal approached, the source close to the prime minister said, asking not to be identified because they are not authorised to talk to the media.

Ishiba will announce his resignation next month, Japanese media reported earlier.

Ishiba and Trump on Tuesday unveiled a trade deal that lowers tariffs on imports of Japanese autos and spares Tokyo punishing new levies on other goods.

His departure less than a year after taking office will trigger a succession battle within the ruling Liberal Democratic party as it contends with challenges from new political parties, particularly on the right, that are stealing its support.

Among them is the “Japanese First” Sanseito far-right group which surged in Sunday’s vote, growing its representation in the 248-seat upper house to 14 from one. The party has attracted voters with pledges to curb immigration, slash taxes, and provide financial relief to households squeezed by rising prices.

Ishiba defeated hardline conservative Sanae Takaichi in a party leadership runoff last year.

The Black Rider doesn’t hesitate to throw his servants from his horse when they prove useless. And Ishiba, rather like Trump, would probably have been a perfectly good leader in more normal times, but was completely unequipped to begin dealing with the challenges facing the Japanese people today.

Politicians would do well to understand that there is no fixing Clown World and no amount of high-minded rhetorical posturing is going to accomplish anything. It is a time for deeds, not words, as both Xi and Putin have demonstrated. And, one should not fail to note, Netanyahu.

Japan needs a Prime Minister who is not afraid to break with the USA and the G7 in favor of BRICS.

Japan Moves Right

It’s good to see Sanseito rising in Japan in the most recent election. The country desperately needs a revival of “The Japan That Can Say No”.

The fringe far-right Sanseito party emerged as one of the biggest winners in Japan’s upper house election on Sunday, gaining support with warnings of a “silent invasion” of immigrants, and pledges for tax cuts and welfare spending.

Birthed on YouTube during the COVID-19 pandemic spreading conspiracy theories about vaccinations and a cabal of global elites, the party broke into mainstream politics with its “Japanese First” campaign.

The party won 14 seats, according to public broadcaster NHK, adding to the single lawmaker it secured in the 248-seat chamber three years ago. It has only three seats in the more powerful lower house.

“The phrase Japanese First was meant to express rebuilding Japanese people’s livelihoods by resisting globalism. I am not saying that we should completely ban foreigners or that every foreigner should get out of Japan,” Sohei Kamiya, the party’s 47-year-old leader, said in an interview with local broadcaster Nippon Television after the election.

Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partner Komeito lost their majority in the upper house, leaving them further beholden to opposition support following a lower house defeat in October.

Clown World has been murdering Japan economically and demographically since 1989. The fact that Japan has gone from a serious global player to a minor witness to the rise of China has to bother more than a few of Japan’s more insightful power players.

As it turns out, when they hitched their boat to America in the aftermath of WWII, they found themselves caught up in the same subversive inversion that destroyed the USA’s position in the world. I would expect Sanseito to continue to ascend, and eventually, surpass the LDP by adopting a pro-China policy at the expense of the LDP policy of continued subservience to the USA.

SIDS = Vaccines

How Japan managed to eradicate Sudden Infant Death Syndrome:

A leading American physician has issued an alarming wake-up call to Western nations by warning that Japan’s sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) crisis “disappeared” as soon as the government ended the country’s mandatory “vaccine” schedule. According to Dr. Pierre Kory, “neonatal mortality decreased” when the government stopped mandating “vaccines” for children under two.

Dr. Kory is the former Chief of the Critical Care Service and Medical Director of the Trauma and Life Support Center at the University of Wisconsin. Kory, a specialist in medicine and pulmonary and critical care, is also the president and chief medical officer of the Front Line Critical Care Alliance.

During an interview with CHD, Kory linked the practice of vaccinating babies in Western countries to surging SIDS cases.

“This actually happened in Japan,” Kory began. “I think this is really interesting because you look at how these two countries behave toward vaccines and vaccine safety, and Japan has done, really, some actions which are not followed by a lot of other Western, advanced health economies. But when they noticed this rash of deaths in the 70s, they saw – what they did is they raised the age of vaccination to two years old.

“Guess what happened when they did that?” Kory asked. “Infant deaths disappeared.”

Imagine how much better children’s health would be if they eliminated all mandatory childhood vaccines. And no, we wouldn’t see a widespread return of diseases that were virtually eliminated in the USA and elsewhere by improved sewage systems, because 98 percent of the decline in those diseases took place prior to the invention of the various vaccines, let alone their compulsory administration to children.

5x Mortality Risk

“Compared to those who are unvaccinated, the mortality rate is 5X higher if you get vaccinated twice. The purpose of receiving vaccination is indeed to reduce the mortality rate, but ironically, the rate was five times higher after receiving the vaccine.”
– Professor Emeritus Seiji Kojima, Nagoya University

The veil is being pulled back, gradually but inexorably, from the adverse effects of the vaxx. As I said when it was first introduced, they can corrupt the scientists, they can obscure the science, and they can lie to the medical community, but the one thing they cannot do is hide the bodies.
