Revisionism about My Japanese Ancestry

Regarding my ancestors 20,000 years ago, they were passing through Central Asia as nomads.

10,000 years ago, they had settled throughout the Japanese archipelago and Korea.

4,000 years ago, another strain of my ancestors were being fended off by the Chinese.

2,000 years ago, they were slaving away at the behest of their Korean overlords who went on to become the royal and noble families.

700 years ago, the ruling class had reinvented their history, occluding contributions to the noble houses by Paekche culture from Korea when they were defeated by combined Chinese and Silla forces circa 500-600 BCE.

Since that time, the Paekche lineage was absorbed into the Japanese imperial family. Yet the Japanese mythological past was rewritten in the 1300s CE.

At that time, most Japanese were peasants, with a Polynesian ancestry in the south (Okinawa), Ainumushiri throughout Japan from Kyushu through Honshu and northwards to Hokkaido, and a growing number of immigrants from China and Korea.

After the 1300s, the official mythological history stated that the people of Japan were descended from gods, which in this case does not mean divine beings.

Rather, this revision of their mythological history might have occurred because it would be politically unwise to admit to Korea being their ancestral homeland. As well, admitting to the harsh acts the Japanese aristocracy did to Ryukuan and Ainu peoples would undo unification of Japanese as one nation, one people.

By stating that Japanese people are descended from gods, their mythological history tries to imitate the Korean mythology about their ruler being descended from a god. The purpose of this myth is to establish divine rule by royalty, which worked until the peasants revolted during repeated famines which affected Japan prior to the end of the feudal period in the 1850s CE.

Yet through it all, the ancient Japanese spirit is echoed in the saying "shigata ga nai", which means "It can't be helped". A similar saying is "shigata no nai" which means "it's inevitable".

Yet Japanese political activism has been empowered by going against "shigata no nai", by daring to do something to help save the environment, empower the people and do what is morally right.

Thus "shigata ga nai" is a setting sun kind of sentimentality which only ensures patriarchy's hold on the People through the State.

Why Korean and Japanese are Similar to Each Other

The main reason why Japanese and Korean are similar is because of the ties between Baekche and Japan until the combined Silla and Tang Chinese forces defeat it circa 7th century CE.

Then all the Baekche royalty beat it to Japan, where their colony had grown into a distinct country through interaction with Okinawans (they kept the Koreans and proto Japanese at bay off Kyushu) and the Ainumushiri.

It was the Ainu whose language influenced and shaped Japanese vocabulary, because the people of Wa needed women to propagate the species.

So when a Japanese is taught he is "descended from the gods", it means he is heir to Baekche and mainly Korean ancestry.

After 700 CE, Korean had Chinese loanwords absorbed into their language due to Tang influence.

Japan Conquered by Korea

http://gias.snu.ac.kr/wthong/publication/paekche/eng/paekch_e.html

This book theorizes that Korea invaded and civilized Japan, due to conquest of Korea by China.

As well, most of Japanese aristocracy including the Emperor are related to Paekche royalty who fled to Japan when combined Silla-Tang Chinese forces began to unite Korea as one.

In light of this, perhaps China is detrimental to unification of North and South Korea.

Remembrance Day is my birthday

November 11, 2008: I ate out with my brother and my mother at a Japanese restaurant owned by Koreans.

Today, about a decade later, you have to reserve a booth or table in order to get good service, which consisted today of a South Korean waitress named Nalae (Naray), whose name means "flight" as in "fly", "flight of the heart" and "that which makes the mind soar and the heart fly".

So I had chicken udon with big soba noodles, some chopped onion, mushroom and chicken kidney or maybe liver. It wasn't spicy enough so I added a lot of Japanese paprika condiment.

After the shootings, my best friend, a Korean-American lawyer in Washington, D.C., felt in his bones that somehow a Korean was responsible. He didn't know why. But, "one thing's for sure now," he said, "we can safely lay the model minority theme to rest."

In local news, a Japanese couple who were substance abusing narks ended up dead many years ago. I know of a Japanese man who was bullied a lot who murdered a white guy outside a bar in Sechelt. Both my grandfathers were fine with domestic abuse, being of the Meiji era. My own dad liked to verbally abuse my mother. I know of a Japanese-Canadian Anglican priest who was a child abuser that preyed on boys and young men, telling them to not tell anyone what he did to them, "or they would burn in hell for lying." However, not one mass murderer.

Though, in feudal Japan, Japanese Christians were crucified and starved in the 1600s. But this was politics. The Shoguns were afraid they'd end up like China, America and S.E. Asia, another vassal state to the economic predation called "Colonization."

And yes, there were internecine warfare between rival clans prior to Oda Nobunaga's reign of terror.

One clan got wiped out merely for supporting Buddhism, and then using their faith to control the Emperor of the time, who had gone Buddhist.

So much for Shinto being merely a nature-loving sect.

How does this relate to a 23-yr-old nutbar acting like a black street tough with his trusty Walther P22 and Glock 19?

The warrior pose.

Violent is evil. I do not side with my samurai ancestry at all. All that was achieved from all that bloodshed in ancient times is a bureaucratic zombie bleeding the economy back in Japan dry today.

We need to stop shutting out the sun if we don't want to create another lost generation.

This is why I feel that the Chos hiding out in Virginia is not going to win points for bringing closure to this tragedy.

33 martyrs felled by Ismail's Ax -- Ibrihim's legacy. This is terrorism, people. Let's remember that.

The only way to beat terrorism is to rush the gun and run from the knife.
