a new golden age of the US-japan alliance......
US President Donald Trump has promised sweeping support for Japan and its new prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, amid the intensifying rivalry with China in the Indo-Pacific. Trump hailed Japan as “an ally at the strongest level” during his visit to Tokyo on Tuesday, noting that the longtime US ally was set to purchase “a large amount of new military equipment” and expressing confidence that bilateral ties would become “stronger than ever before.” “I want to just let you know – any time you have any question, any doubt, anything you want, any favors you need, anything I can do to help Japan, we will be there,” Trump said. Takaichi, a hardline conservative who assumed office last week, thanked Trump for mediating a dispute between Thailand and Cambodia and for his “unwavering commitment to peace and stability” in the region. The leaders also signed a cooperation agreement on rare-earth and critical minerals, as well as a pledge to work toward a “new golden age” of the US-Japan alliance. Trump signed a similar deal with Australia earlier this month, aimed at countering China’s dominance in the rare-earth market. Japan has hosted American troops since the end of World War II and remains one of the largest buyers of US weapons. In recent years, Tokyo has increased its defense budget and begun arming its navy with long-range cruise missiles. The US, Japan, and South Korea regularly conduct joint naval drills, drawing condemnation from China and North Korea, who view such maneuvers as provocative. https://www.rt.com/news/627042-trump-sanae-full-support/

Anti-Russian Propaganda and Preparation for War Against Russia
by Thierry Meyssan
While deep state propaganda convinces public opinion that Russia is evil, armies are being prepared for war before our very eyes. The Chief of Staff of the French Army, General Pierre Schill, has just announced to the National Assembly that he is preparing for the next war against Russia. Meanwhile, the Polish Deputy Prime Minister has announced that he will intercept Vladimir Putin’s presidential plane. Alone against all his allies, Donald Trump is trying to preserve world peace.
The confrontation between President Donald Trump and the coalition of British, American, Israeli, and Ukrainian deep states is likely to extend to the Far East. In Japan, Sanae Takaichi has just formed a LDP (Liberal Democratic Party) government thanks to its alliance with the Innovation Party, which shares its warmongering views.
FAR EASTAlthough Prime Minister Takaichi is the first woman to hold this office, she is nonetheless a champion of "Japanese imperialism" from the Showa era. Barely inaugurated, she announced her intention to rewrite the National Defense Strategy (NDS), the Defense Enhancement Program (DBP), and the National Security Strategy (NSS). These texts are, in principle, updated every ten years, but will be reformed seven years ahead of schedule.
Sanae Takaichi claims that she simply wants to honor President Trump’s wish that each US ally devote 5% of its GDP to defense; everyone has understood that she wants to restore the Emperor’s army, amend the Constitution to end Japanese neutrality, and attack the Korean Peninsula and the People’s Republic of China.
To be clear, her predecessor and outgoing Prime Minister, Shigeru Ishiba, sent an offering to the Yasukuni Shrine in memory of Japanese criminals against humanity. Ishiba is the largest private collector of World War II memorabilia. His home is a shrine to war criminals.
Ms. Takaichi certainly did not go to the Yasukuni Shrine this year, unlike in previous years. She refrained from using anything too provocative, and Shigeru Ishiba went there very rarely. But she did appoint seven men from among the parliamentarians corrupted by the Moon sect as ministers and secretaries of state.
Following the assassination of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on July 8, 2022, by a victim of the Moon sect, the police discovered that she had not only bribed him, but also parliamentarians from her own party, the Liberal Democratic Party. In previous years, she had paid them half a billion dollars. Yes, half a billion dollars. The largest parliamentary corruption scandal in history; a scandal that remains unsolved and has only led to three indictments.
At the same time, Reverend Moon’s widow was arrested in South Korea, at the age of 82, for bribing President Yoon Suk Yeol’s wife. While the sums involved are not the same, President Yoon suddenly attempted a coup d’état on December 3rd. This conservative intended to reinstate the dictatorship of General Chun Doo-hwan (1980-1988). However, this disastrous regime was a member of the World Anti-Communist League, founded by Chinese General Chiang Kai-shek, South Korean Reverend Moon, Japanese Ryoichi Sasakawa (founder of the Liberal Democratic Party), and Ukrainian Yaroslav Stetsko (former right-hand man of Stepan Bandera and Ukrainian Nazi Prime Minister).
While the Korean branch of the deep state now seems out of the running, the Japanese branch is now on the rise.
MIDDLE EASTIn the Middle East, the Israeli deep state was reconstituted thanks to the American Elliott Abrams. In 2003, he managed to assemble a coalition to bring the Likudnik Benjamin Netanyahu back to power. But this coalition included Jewish supremacists like Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich. Above all, the new Netanyahu was very different from the opportunistic politician of his early days. He suddenly became the successor to his father, Benzion Netanyahu, private secretary to the fascist Vladimir Jabotinsky. He profoundly transformed Israel’s constitutional system by amending its Basic Laws. Little by little, the democratic regime was transforming into a genocidal regime before everyone’s eyes.
Elliott Abrams began his political career in the 1970s. He was then a parliamentary aide to Democratic Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson, alongside the students of the fascist philosopher Leo Strauss, including Richard Perle. Perle and Abrams thus advised the senator to vote for the Jackson-Vanik Amendment, which allowed Soviet Jews to leave their country and settle in Israel. It was during this time that they became friends with the Ukrainian Natan Sharansky, who was decorated by President Ronald Reagan, later became Israeli minister under General Ariel Sharon, and is today responsible for Israeli propaganda in the Western world.
Elliott Abrams continued his career by organizing the genocide of the Mayans in Guatemala with the Revisionist Zionist Yitzhak Shamir (then at the Mossad).
One crime leading to another, he was the organizer of the secret alliance between the Reagan administration, Yitzhak Shamir (become Prime Minister), and the Speaker of the Iranian National Assembly, Hashemi Rafsanjani: the Iran-Contra affair. The idea was to have the Islamic Republic sell Israeli weapons to the Contras in Nicaragua, in order to defeat the Sandinistas, without having to inform Congress.
He is now the president of the Tikvah Foundation, which manages Revisionist Zionist schools in the United States. In this capacity, he "was" the employer of Benjamin Haddad, Minister Delegate for Europe in the last four French governments.
EUROPEIn the United Kingdom, the Keir Starmer government is elusive. Although he is a Labour member, Starmer was secretly a member of the Trilateral Commission, which would seem to indicate that he is an agent of big American capital. Although he was close to Jeremy Corbyn, he was one of those who organized his downfall. Not to mention his relentless defense of Israel under the pretext of fighting anti-Semitism. Beyond all the hypotheses put forward about him, he appears to be a defender of British imperialism.
Since he became Prime Minister, Her Majesty’s Army has become significantly involved in the Gaza genocide. The British General Staff has received senior Israeli generals on numerous occasions, in secret, even assuring them that they were not at risk of arrest by magistrates concerned about crimes against humanity. It provided faithful surveillance of Gaza day after day through its reconnaissance planes based in Cyprus.—At the same time, the Starmer government inherited the sanctions imposed by the Sunak government against the Muslim Brotherhood (of which Hamas is the Palestinian branch), and particularly against Mahmoud al-Zahar, the Brotherhood’s leader in Gaza. It lifted the sanctions against him, which had been imposed with the United States, and then reinstated them on April 9, 2025.
Finally, he trained Israeli officers during the massacre. Simultaneously, he took control of the Ramstein Group when the US Defense Ministry sought to get rid of it. This is now the Contact Group on the Defense of Ukraine, where he successfully marginalized the French presence and brought the German presence under his control.
It was well known that Starmer’s predecessor, the Conservative Boris Johnson, had convinced President Volodymyr Zelensky not to negotiate peace with Russia, despite this being his initial election platform. But we must revise the interpretation of this commitment by noting that Labour’s Keir Starmer has continued his policy, demanding ever more anti-Russian commitment from his Ukrainian interlocutors.
It should be remembered that Boris Johnson is an admirer of Winston Churchill, to whom he has dedicated a biography. Churchill, however, considered the USSR not as an ally against the Third Reich, but as an enemy in waiting. At the end of the Second World War, he had planned to use the defeated SS regiments and turn them against the Soviets (Operation Unthinkable). He had asked his general staff to plan the nuclear annihilation of major Soviet cities and was only prevented from doing so by the United States. Subsequently, he recruited almost all possible Axis leaders to fight against Moscow. This is what is called the "Cold War." Thus, Stepan Bandera and Yaroslav Stetsko worked for the Allies in Munich, within the CIA radio, which he did alongside Said Ramadan, the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Keir Starmer is the heir to this strategy. His aim was not to fight the Slavs because they were an inferior race (as the Nazis believed), but because they threatened British supremacy on the European continent (as geopolitical scientist Halford John Mackinder taught).
He activated a British agent: Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski. Sikorski announced that Poland would intercept Vladimir Putin’s presidential plane if he attempted to travel to the Budapest summit to meet with Donald Trump and conclude peace in Ukraine. As a result, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov telephoned his US counterpart, Marco Rubio, to postpone the peace summit.
Sikorski left Poland in 1981 for England. He became a subject of the Crown and a journalist at the Spectator, the Observer, and the Daily Telegraph. He then moved to the United States, where he became a columnist for the Republican monthly National Review; a historic Republican and therefore anti-Trump magazine. He subsequently founded the Polish Press Club and married American journalist Anne Applebaum, a director of the Bilderberg Group. His wife, a Republican like him, defected when Donald Trump took over the Republican Party. She became an advisor to Democrat Hillary Clinton. As a result, Radosław Sikorski became Poland’s deputy defense minister and NATO’s chief media outlet. Faced with questions about his dual allegiance, he abandoned his British nationality, but apparently not his submission to the Crown.
