20years of retaliation
Tuesday, March 21, 2023
Updates- laws
Alot of things are happening Internationally with different "Cybertorture" related cases.
1. Targeted Justice filed a Federal Lawsuit in January 2023. There has been a ripple of cyber-torture retaliation felt throughout the community.
2. ICATOR is working towards a case in Brussels. - They have teamed up with the best of British Intelligence Microwave Experts, DARPA scientist, and American Signals tracer.
These cases, may or may not impact their followings. But it is a first for major attention and related to Havana Syndrome. Some of us who have very real and lifelong complaints against the US Defense industry and State Actors:- We are faced with the reality of SOFA forces agreements eroding our human rights through political targeting (online and offline) of both Japanese issei and nisei who live in USA and in Japan. We face a repeat of deadly 2002-2004 type attacks under POTUS Biden served by U.S. local government and pd who were gung ho on destroying lives-- with the Denationalization talk of Patriot Act II that allegedly was sunsetted in Dec. 2005. They took the life of my brother and destroyed my career and safety actively. I reported I was still experiencing hostilities well into 2009 at the local level in Bucks County, PA from people who hate Japan (including my father) and knew who I was since my birth. (https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/301536032.pdf) . The ACLU had previously mishandled my brother's case in the mid 1990s as what I understand to be Cointelpro operation against him. But I will use this ACLU quotation here from https://www.aclu.org/other/patriot-act-sunsets#:~:text=Title%20II%20was%20the%20main,sections%20will%20expire%20on%20Dec..
Quick Update: Though, I and some others are realizing that we will not get out of these surveillance loopholes with impending War tensions in Asian nations- Especially Japan. In my current day life, I am caught in a rift between U.S. military, Anti-AAPI (Anti-Asian American sentiment directed at me locally offline and online), and an increasing foreign innundation on social media platforms. And the local people refuse to respect my personal requirments for personal safety. There is no support financially for me since spring 2021. And, I no longer trust employment websites to list my personal information-- Facebook is bad enough, along with LinkedIn.
Geneva Convention (IV)- Article 32 - (Pertaining to Civilian Persons in time of War...)

It is the mentality of people who have it easy in the States and do not know about Asia, or Japan aside from their war experiences and handed down stories. I have met some other Halvsie// hafu people who have the same experience that I have had. It is the complete rejection of Japanese culture and/or mindset and the farce that they create by saying that Japanese is not a language, that Japanese people are all bad, that people from Japan are all crazy as well as Japanese related kin. Here on the east coast, there are pockets of small town people who still try to shove their small town view upon people of Japanese descent. They particularly hate buddhism and related people; put up a front of "cultural & racial acceptance" when in the trenches here in the working world those same people are doing everything in their power to harm people of Japanese descent.
I think that this happens frequently in small towns because the people are afraid about money issues. So afraid to pay someone who wants to visit their Japanese family, or create a positive environment. Once the racial threshold is crossed partway by those of us who are Haafu, Americans seem to think they can slander and berate our Japanese heritage without having any offense taken. Or, they're just playing dumb racist. I'm not sure which it is. Though it's an amazing array of split personalities that the racist offenders put up so that they can pretend they're understanding.
One story I heard from CT is that they're trying to declare someone who is Buddhist as "clinically insane". This person happens to have an older child in her custody as well. I have experienced the same type of intolerant attitude from people in my community. These are the same people who host Asian exchange students and then throw them out on the street for not being Christian. The same type of people who allow their children to play military torture with their adopted Asian children while these wars and negotiations are taking place. It's not right.
There are better attitudes and efforts towards multi-cultural understanding. My father was in the U.S. military and my grandfather, and great grandfather, as well as uncles. My mother is from Japan, and though things aren't perfect there is still a higher level of cultural understanding and acceptance.
