Effort To Contain China FAILED: Bangladesh Strike Cuts down Abe’s Covert Naval Gambit

The article doesn't say who is behind the Gulshan attack but we are meant to assume the Chinese. I doubt the Chinese could pull off something like this.

Chinese won't do it by themselves thats why Pakistan or middle east connection comes here into play. But exactly who executed it no body knows.

The seven Japanese meeting at the lakeside cafe were not “engineers” with a “construction” project as claimed to the news media by the Shinzo Abe government. Only one man worked for a genuine engineering firm; the other six were with “planning offices” involved in influence-peddling and bribery of Bangladeshi politicians and bureaucrats with the aim of installing a naval base as part of a plan to construct a civilian shipping port.

I am not saying anything about or against the main theme of this article that there is a 4 party alliance to contain Chinese influence in BD and Burma, specially. But, I must say the Japanese died at the Cafe were not related to engineering and they were working only to influence the GoB with money - this is the most stupid and irresponsible statement I have read online after the Cafe attack.

Never in my life I have heard that the Japanese bribe in other countries when this culture is totally absent in Japan proper. Japan does not need bribe peddler in my country. The people in the govt. wait eagerly for the Japanese participation in many of the projects. But, Japanese companies are almost absent in our country because they do not make profits in only a simple construction job.

Chinese companies, with small salaries for their engineers and staff, quickly bag contracts in an international bidding. But, the Japanese companies can make a profit only in a technology based project, such as a urea fertilizer factory or a petro-chemical project. The writer of this article is definitely falsifying that degrades Japan in the eyes of others. Does Japan really need people specialized in bribing in BD? I am surprised to read this article.

You are here to prove something that really does not exist in Japan. The society proscribes bribery as a part of ethics ingrained in their culture. It is painful to see you are trying to generalize a thing when, in reality, whatever a man's position, once known, he has to accept the guilt and apologize in front of TV camera, and resign from his post.

In many cases they commit suicide out of shame and mental agony. Moreover, bribery is not at all spread throughout the entire Japanese society as it is in that BD country, where the culture is, 'Kanoon Kya Hai, Kanoon Hamara Moch ka Tau Par Hai,' Sometimes the politicians in Japan accept donations that are also regarded as bribes by the present Japanese law.

Hope, you will understand my Urdu, as you are from the top of mt. everest.

It is lower than most countries even developed ones I will grant you that but you claimed it was totally absent, which it is not.

Anyway it is somewhat irrelevant since you are correct that this thread is full of hoaxes and conspiracy theories as usual. The Japanese victims were just in the wrong place at the wrong time and there was no hidden hand directing the attackers from any other country.....just a brainwashed agenda of hate and terror of the attackers themselves.

So please continue exposing how ridiculous these assertions are.

Another bullocks nicely written. More like fantasy of fapping to ones sisters soiled panties. US proposed base in Bangladesh around 2008 and there was huge uproar. People of Bangladesh won't stand to this bullshit. Plus those Japanese were members of JICA who came here to build some bridges funded by Japanese. Well written novel though. +5 for it.

You have a pretty weird visual way of putting forward your thoughts :P

Bribery is fundamental to Japanese way of doing business. Your proposition is wrong. Bribery is fundamental part of business, it is not particularly unique to Japan.

In terms of the original article ..... To me it seems far fetched and regarding the japs who were killed I have no knowledge about their function. Whatever it was this is an appalling crime against BD.

Can you tell us in what kind of businesses you think the Japanese may give or take bribes? Never heard any, though. Another point, Japanese have a culture to go to pubs or drinking parlors in the entertainment districts on Friday/Saturday nights.

Here a company may spend 10/20 or 30 thousand dollar worth of money to entertain the responsible persons from a client company. In the Japanese society, this is an necessary expenditure and is not regarded as bribery by law and culture.

Graft was introduced and induced by the Japanese to our commercial, bureaucratic and political establishments. Koreans and Chinese just followed. In fact this once a political issue when Ershad's minister Naziur Rahman received bribe from the Japanese who had supplied some relief boats after a cyclone. Was subject of some heat in the Japanese parliament.

You have answered your question yourself.... I have worked with a few Jap companies in my time .... A slush fund is always maintained to smooth the bidding process. Post contractually an entertainment budget is maintained. It's all mere good business practice. These are all bribes ... It is irrelevant what it is called and how jap law views it.

Within the European context it would a bribe. There are ways around it but bribe is still a bribe. Japanese are In BD for their own interest as is every other country. There is no such thing as aultarism only self interest and to further it one would do whatever is necessary.

This is what I am saying in my posts that a person known for grafting is humiliated in Japan. But, bribery is not at all prevalent in Japanese society. There are cases of politicians accept grafts from foreign projects. But,Rescue Boat Purchasing Scheme was little different.

Mr. Hedayatullah was the BD Ambassador at the time of boat purchasing. It is him who influenced the purchase by the GoB from the 2nd lowest, not the lowest, Japanese bidder. The Ambassador received graft and recommended it. He however told us it is not him, but someone at the top was behind it. He implied Ershad. All of us thought him right considering what Ershad was. Anyway, this kind of things may happen at the high level in Japan, but usually the mews reporters find out the truth.

But, go to the Passport Office, A/C Land and all other govt offices in Shonar Bangla to know what bribery really means. I am a big sufferer there.

Effort To Contain China FAILED: Bangladesh Strike Cuts down Abe’s Covert Naval Gambit

http://www.strategic-culture.org/ne...strike-cuts-down-abe-covert-naval-gambit.html


Yoichi Shimatsu

The nighttime attack that killed 20 foreigners in the Gulshan diplomatic district of Dhaka, Bangladesh was not simply a random terror attack since it had all the features of a meticulously prepared military-style operation against a selective target and for specific causes.

The attackers identified themselves as ISIS supporters, but their demands to police negotiators included release of members of the local Jamaat-al-Mujaheedin (JM), a widespread and well-connected militant outfit that advocates an Islamic state to replace Bangladesh’s secular party system imposed by the Indian intervention that ended its union with Pakistan.

JM is supported by prominent local clans, including families of military officers and police chiefs, and has access to classified national intelligence files, including reports on Japan’s military-strategic interest in Bangladesh and the Andaman Sea region.

The objective of the attack on the Holey Artisan bakery cafe was to prevent a budding Japanese-Indian-American-Australian alliance called the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, which is secretly establishing an allied naval base in Bangladesh to serve as a “Crusader fortress” against Islamic interests in South Asia-Mideast and to counter China’s growing presence in the Indian Ocean-Andaman region.

The JM counterintelligence operation against the Japaneseassets in Bangladesh required months of surveillance and the tracking of movements of Japanese operatives, including visiting delegations, whose elimination was the objective of the military-style strike.

The seven Japanese meeting at the lakeside cafe were not “engineers” with a “construction” project as claimed to the news media by the Shinzo Abe government. Only one man worked for a genuine engineering firm; the other six were with “planning offices” involved in influence-peddling and bribery of Bangladeshi politicians and bureaucrats with the aim of installing a naval base as part of a plan to construct a civilian shipping port.

Abe and QSD: A New Co-Prosperity Sphere

Shinzo Abe’s plan to establish a naval base on the northern Andaman Sea is part of a geopolitical strategy called the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (QSD), under which the U.S.-Japan (offensive) alliance aims to involve Australia and India in the naval containment of expanding Chinese power. QSD is in essence NATO for the Pacific and Indian Ocean battle theater.

For the neo-militarist goverment in Tokyo, QSD is a US-sanctioned revival of the Greater East Co-prosperity Sphere, Japan’s bid to establish a pan-Asian military empire during World War II. Abe’s grandfather, the wartime munitions minister Nobusuke Kishi, was a key architect of the co-prosperity strategy.

Abe hailed the legacy of Japan’s “liberation” of South Asia in World War II on his first state visit to India. His revanchist speech was followed up with the sale of ShinMaywa seaplanes to the Indian military to protect its new offshore oil fields in the southern Andaman and to conduct long-distance aerial surveillance on the energy-rich region.

Clandestine Naval Base against the Chinese

Bangladesh was chosen as the site for a de facto allied naval port for both geographic and political reasons. The economically weak nation provides a third-party platform for military basing and clandestine operations against Chinese influence in the Andaman Sea, without direct and open involvement by regional powers India, Thailand and Myanmar, which are reluctant to get further entangled with US military operations.

After political setbacks in neighboring Myanmar, China has developed closer military ties with Bangladesh, strengthened with the Chinese proposal to build a deep-water port at Sonadaria, a construction project estimated at 8 billion USD.

To counter the Chinese plan, Tokyo actively intervened with a rival bid for another port at nearby Matarbari, with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) offering a softloan of 3 billion USD for a 4.6-billion dollar project.

The Matarbari port project includes four coal-fired power plants with a total 2,400 megawatt electricity-generation capacity along with dredging of shipping channels for LNG tankers – and capable of handling destroyers and submarines. The ostensible civilian port would be gradually converted to military purposes, initially through “rescue and recovery operations” during Bangladesh’s frequent cyclone catastrophes.


Sumitomo Heavy Industry and the Marubenitrading company are involved in the deal, which quickly overshadowed the earlier Chinese project despite being only half the size of Beijing’s package. The difference in scale was made up in bribery of government officials by the Japanese lobbying network.

JICA as the J-CIA

Significantly, the Japanese aid program JICA and many of its related contractors in Myanmar and Bangladesh are dominated by two cult-like yakuza-allied groups, the Sasakawa organization (which includes the Nippon Foundation) and Soka Gakkai. The Soka Gakkai new religion sponsors the Komeito (Clean Government Party), which is a member of the ruling coalition with the Liberal Democratic Party.

SG is allied with the Yamaguchi-gumi organized crime group, especially in money-laundering through its overseas religious branches and networks of smalls businesses (including Japanese-style restaurants).

The Sasakawa organization, acting nominally through the Nippon Foundation charity and the Unification Church, is a crime network that runs gambling operations involving speedboat racing in Japan.

This underworld water-sports enterprise, which is linked with the methamphetamine (shabu) trade, is conducted in cooperation with the Tosei-kai, a Tokyo=based yakuza group run by ethnic Koreans (zai-nichi) mobsters, descendants of soliders who served the Japanese empire in occupied Korea.

The rightist yakuza boss Yoshio Kodama created Tosei-kai, as paramilitary force hired out to the CIA station in Tokyo to protect US military bases from Japan’s leftist student movement during the Cold War and Vietnam War era. Since then, The Nippon Foundation has sponsored ocean-related projects as a means of promoting Japanese naval expansion overseas, including the Oceans Day holiday, which promotes Japanese naval expansion and the whaling industry.

The Sasakawa organized crime group has a long history of covert cooperation with Italian fascist groups, starting from its late founder’s prewar People’s Party (Kokusai Taishu-to), modeled after Benito Mussolini’s Fascist Party.

The cooperation with Italian fascist black operations continued in the postwar era, with Japan serving as a safe haven for rightwing terrorists, including a suspect named Zorzi, involved in the 1969 false-flag bombing of the Milan headquarters of Banco Agricola.

The continuing criminal connections between Japanese neo-militarists and Italian fascists is a thread that connects to the nine Italians killed in the Holey Bakery attack. Some of the Italians are apparently working in the Bangladesh clothing industry, but textiles also provide convenient cover for any NATO operatives assigned to that region.


Tokyo-style Corruption

How did Tokyo overtake the rival Chinese bid so quickly? The seven contractors dining at the Holely Artisan Bakery represent the underhanded methods used by Japanese to gain favors from the political elites in the developing nations. Only one was a real engineer.

Three others, including two women, were visiting employees of Almec, a Shinjuku “design” company with a sketchy role in planning and facilitating projects with typical Japanese practices of wooing clients with junkets, favors and gifts, including briefcases of cash.

The three other Japanese contractors at the dinner were with a recently organized spinoff of Oriental Consultants, another “planning” company with a 57 year history of overseas facilitation for JETRO (Japan External Trade Relations Office) and JICA.

The newly spun-off affiliate Oriental Consultants Global was created in 2014, a timeline coinciding with Shinzo Abe’s formation of a national intelligence agency modeled after the US National Security Agency, CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency.

Oriental Consultants has a satellite mapping division, indicating the Bangladesh team were involved in geospatial surveillance aimed at creating a Japanese defense enclave in the Andaman Sea region to counter Chinese military influence.

The parent company also has a satellite communications division providing secure data transmissions. Aspects of their clandestine mission would include anti-terrorism, putting the Japanese consultants on a collision course with Jamaat-al-Mujaheedin/ISIS.



Offending Militant Islam

The clandestine operation involving the Japanese port project was designed to avert nationalist anger in Bangladesh, where the Muslim population is increasingly distrustful of Shinzo Abe’s involvement in wars in the Middle East and Japan’s ever-closer military alliance with New Delhi, the hegemon of South Asia.

The popular distrust of India has increased due to the coming to power of Modi’s BJP party, a Hindu nationalist coalition with a track record of mass atrocities against Muslims in India.

Shinzo Abe’s covert involvement in the Syrian conflict led directly to the ISIS decision to behead Japanese hostages, including the “military otaku (fan)” Haruna Yukawa and journalist Kenji Goto.

The transsexual spy Yukawa was a secretagent of retired Air Force general Toshio Tamogami, the founder of Nippon Kaigi, the powerful conservative parliamentary lobby for constitutional revision and the remilitarization of Japan. Tamogami acts as spokesman for politicized neoconservative officers in the Self-Defense Forces, who support offensive military capability for Japanese forces.

The Japanese intelligence operations in Syria and Abe’s belligerent stance has triggered repeated threats from ISIS. In a vain attempt to absolve Abe’s jingoism of responsibility, Tokyo has denied this factor in the killing of a Japanese aid worker in Bangladesh and the stalking of other Japanese nationals in that country.

The Dhaka bakery attack shows that Japan is now the primary target for hostage-taking mass executions due to Abe’s strategy to establish military bases in South Asia, along with weapons sales, covert operations and so-called humanitarian interventions to block China’s One Belt project across South Asia.

This ambitious effort to contain China, however, has put Japan on a collision course with Islamic militants opposed to American and Indian forces in the region.

With their international network of supporters, the militant groups affiliated with ISIS can strike at Japanese interests anywhere in the world, including inside Japan. Tokyo is now deeply enmeshed in a global war that it cannot survive, much less win.


chinese slavery at its best!!! when china parade the dancing mullahs these people are good with it. :D

I have a theory about the attack...Islamic State did it exactly for the reasons they said they did it.
