 Official portrait, 2024 | |
Is this the poster child of unhappy final stage capitalism, the face of ugly multinational corporate destruction of our frail planet? Does he belong on posters and memes and images on the side of government buildings? You tell me, my friends.
The unhappy, unethical, hapless YOSHIMASA HAYASHI, Japanese Chief Cabinet Officer, is a Harvard MBA. Big surprise.
Look into that mean pinched bureaucratic face. Think of the millions the Japanese tortured, fire-bombed, enslaved, prostituted and conquered before proud Americans ended their empire. Footnote: My father, Ed Slavin, Sr., a proud Polish American, volunteered to fight Japanese imperialism the day after the Empire of Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. (Rejected by the Army for being colorblind, my dad volunteered for the 82nd ABN DIVN, helping liberate North Africa, Sicily and Normandy, including the first French town liberated from Hitler, before the sun rose on D-Day.)
Americans subject to foreign investment from clearcutting fools: Do you the enjoy St. Johns County's abusive rule of corporate tools?
We reject clearcutting and corruption.
Fools like Senator-developer TRAVIS JAMES HUTSON, YOSHIMASA HAYASHI, and other feckless reckless feculent fools, tools and asinine advocates of unregulated unctuous money-grubbing and destruction of our planet?
Who among us wants rough beasts like Yoshimasa Hayashi, and their fetid fringe fellow greedheads, to destroy ecosystems?
Somewhat more sentient countries, without PR propaganda, would ever choose to destroy our planet and attack our human and natural rights?
Look into the evasive eyes of the man who would sentence the world's whales to death, make money from it, and imprison people for criticizing Japan's sinful willful heedless destruction of whales. Pray for Yoshimasa Hayashi, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary. From The Washington Post:
"In a news briefing Wednesday, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi called Denmark’s decision “very regrettable” and said his government communicated its position to Danish officials. Hayashi said that the activities of Watson and others damaged Japan’s whaling industry and that the nation 'will continue to take necessary and adequate actions.'”
Washington Post
Listen to this yappy yoyo, member of a longtime government bureaucratic family. From his quote, this hopelessly hapless Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary, reminds me of the old saw about who sounds like the proverbial diplomat "sent abroad to lie for his country."
Laugh at the yoyo. Share their shame.
Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary actually said whaling activists "damaged the Japanese whaling industry." Oh, was there martyrdom involved?
Three cheers for "damaging the Japanese whaling industry!" That is something that I so proudly helped to do with all my heart and all my soul as a Georgetown University undergraduate intern in the office of Senator Ted Kennedy (Best.Senator.Ever.) It all happened in the mailroom of Sen. Ted Kennedy.
A call went out from the main office on the fourth floor of the Senator's main office in the Richard Russell Senate Building (Old S.O.B.) to send "Fast Eddie" (that was the EMK staff nickname for me in 1974-76). The call was to send an intern to help a young legislative assistant, the first woman LA.
My mentor, the late Marty Murtagh, was a young Georgetown-educated recent law graduate lawyer from Michigan, who began work for EMK (as did I) as a mailroom volunteer). Mary Murtagh was Massachusetts Democratic United States Senator Ted Kennedy's incomparable legislative assistant for Cape Cod and Islands legislation and helped enact the 200 mile fishing limit. I learned so much from Mary Murtagh, whose funeral oration was given by Sen. Ted Kennedy. When I was a mere stripling, a beardless youth of 19, Mary recruited me to help EMK and her stop world whaling. My research for EMK and Mary Murtagh helped guide them to support development of an oilseed crop, jojoba, which is an exact duplicate for the oil of the endangered sperm whale. It worked. God created sperm whales, a beautiful sentient species, which nearly became extinct due to humankind's unkind fetish with getting rich off what became, in the industrial age, a much-prized oil in their heads. Sperm whale meat is inedible. Once EMK, Mary, et al. encouraged jojoba, with some research, phone calls and conferences, jojoba took over the market. Free markets worked, for a change. Yes, my friends, the world no longer needed sperm whale oil. Jojoba is an exact duplicate for the oil of the endangered sperm whale: dig it! No more sperm whales are slaughtered to oil the engines of the world (or Russian nuclear weapons). Looking to Japan to get past the rough beasts who controlled its whaling industry and anti-conservation policy. Disgusted that Paul Watson spent time in prison for his criticism and activism directed at preserving, protecting and defending the rights of these magnificent sentient creatures.
From The Washington Post:
Denmark frees anti-whaling activist, rejecting Japan’s extradition request
U.S.-Canadian environmentalist Paul Watson, 74, was detained based on a decade-old Interpol warrant that accused him of interfering with a Japanese whaling ship.
