Hindu mob kills Muslim Man for allegedly eating Beef 8 arrested

[OneGrimPilgrim]

Communist Ideology looks so romantic in books but it killed at least 20 Million in Russia (Stalin), at least 60 Million in China (Mao), Several thousands in India and failed to live up to it's reputation of being a better alternative to Capitalism. The reason being Capitalism is compatible with the "Natural order" and the "Human Nature". Communism starved more number of people to death and produced more class conflicts compared to Capitalism.

forgot to mention pol pot. a communist despot is a double-deadly combo!

Richard Dawkins : "I'm a secular Christian"

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/...Richard-Dawkins-I-am-a-secular-Christian.html

Last few posts a good e.g. how neo atheists mired in Christian thought patterns. Many cosmopolitan RW Hindus consider Dawkins a rare intellect and their go to guy for a critique of religion. Even buy into the nonsense that Hinduism allows for "atheism" and "agnosticism", clearly stemming out of their poor understanding of what Dawkins really stands for & also the nuances of Indic traditions/history. Hindu skeptics/Nastikas (Bauddhas, Jainas, Carvakas) believed in things like Devaloka & reincarnation that would be laughed off as superstition by Dawkins. Believing that Queen has divine right to rule & Israeli Zionism is perfectly rational though according to this proud church of Englander.

nice info! didn't know about this. another notable thing about such militant neo-atheists, like dawkins and his bed-buddy randi, is that they NEVER utter a word against the establishment/mainstream. never. that's much more than just 'peculiar'.

P.S. - a sample of the deep-seated (fundamentalistic) bias -- in the 70s BBC had some show on the subject of 'reincarnation and the researches on it', and more than 75% of the scientists in it voted down/refused to acknowledge the studies 'because those stood in contradiction with their religious/christian beliefs'.

India with a good economy can take care of xtian conversions without problem. Also, xtians are not murderous barbs and so just the societal reform and freedom from castes will make inter caste marriages being the norm and hence xtianity will die a slow death on its time just like Hindus get absorbed into UK/US/Western societies.

Islam on the other hand needs active measures like compulsory one child policy specific for them.

What I was talking about was however something else entirely- the way we worship /view god/religion. The only good thing Hinduism offers is the choice and rationalism and the freedom to enlightment on our own terms. Why should we give it up just because some westerners are trying to digest it?

X conversion bothers me only because they are eroding the hindu base, making us more vulnerable to M. This has already happened in Kerala. Not just X but even these post modernisms like atheism, secularism, libertarianism etc take the heat out of the Hindu movement & divert Hindus.

We both know that BJP does not have the will to implement one child policy. Unrealistic. The only way we win is to outbreed them like the Orthodox Jews are doing in Israel & take control of the security apparatus.

I think much like how we view Jains, Sikhs, Buddhists as our own .

Western atheism born in an Abrahamic milieu will naturally have Abrahamic characteristics. Thing is once you begin to understand Abrahamics as "counter religion" & "counter tradition" rather than merely monotheism it's very easy to see fundamental unity of Abrahamisms with their offsprings like communism, secularism, dawkinian atheism, feminism & so on. If you read the story of the Abrahamic prophets, they all rebelled against the contemporary societies they lived in.

Abraham & Jacob vs Nimrood (Mesopotamia)
Jospeh vs Egyptian pagans
Moses vs Egyptians
Jesus vs Romans
Mohammed vs Meccans


How is this any different from what anarchists/commies/atheists do ? The first victim of the commies (& atheists/feminists/other offsprings) everywhere were religions and everything traditionally taboo is permitted.

Tacitus the Roman historian noted this anti tradition, rebellious tendency amongst Abrahamics right from the start. Tacitus defined basic principle of Abrahamics as 'normative inversion'- everything traditionally sacred is profane.

Ever wonder why all rationalists scorn at idol worship & brag about engaging in acts of iconoclasm. There are many Nirguna sects in India too but never heard of them desecrating idols or rejecting traditional indian gods/godesses. How come these rationalists no problems with the many irrational practices in Abrahamism ? Karl Marx wrote about Hinduism being a religion of worshipping cows and monkeys without reading any of the scriptures. He called it a religion of absolute deprivation and forced ascetics, no different from the views of the Christian missionary writers of that time. Where do you think this iconoclastic attitude stems from ?

Religion and the Rise of Capitalism: The Case of Japan (Richard L. Rubenstein)

http://www.amerika.org/globalism/religion-and-the-case-of-capitalism-richard-l-rubenstein/

Some excerpts from the above article worth pondering on :-

"Soviet Union has Christian roots. Marxist atheism is grounded in the very biblical tradition that Marxism negates."

"Japan is the world’s most successful nation with non-Christian roots."

"Wherever the biblical faith in a unique, exclusive, extramundane God penetrated, it was utterly destructive of indigenous gods and traditions. Sooner or later this polemical, desacralizing faith was bound to give birth to a consciousness that would not rest until all the gods without exception were dethroned. "'

" Under the circumstances, it is hardly surprising that a civilization as determined to preserve its own integrity as that Japan should marshal all its forces to resist both the believing and the secular manifestations of biblical religion."

"The Japanese have created a thoroughly modern, highly technological, capitalist civilization whose religious foundations rest upon animistic and polytheistic traditions that adherents of the biblical regions normally assume to be discredited, primitive, and idolatrous–a remnant of a far earlier stage of religious “evolution.” From the Japanese perspective, such views are, of course, utterly without substance."

"The development toward a purely secular, rationalized society can thus be seen an unintended sociological consequence of biblical Judaism’s “disenchantment of the world.”"

"Similarly, Jesus is depicted as admonishing his followers to “hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters” as an indispensable condition of becoming his disciple (Luke 14:26). Fundamental to the Christian ethic is the injunction to obey God rather than man (Acts 5.29). "

 

[asingh10]

From the above article. How Japan embraced modernization without compromising on its traditional values. Lesson for coolies who think doing away with traditional indian culture/ethics will make us "modern".

"Men like Motoda saw the need for modernization. Nevertheless, they also understood one of the principal dangers of Western-style modernization–destruction of the historic continuity of Japanese civilization–and this the leaders of Japan were determined to resist. The Imperial Rescript on Education of 1890 gives expression to the determination of Japan’s leaders to preserve the historic continuity of Japanese civilization and its values at a time of the most revolutionary socioeconomic transformations in all of Japanese history. Few, if any other documents are as instructive in exhibiting the contrast between the Japanese and Western responses to modernization. Whereas the West initiated modernization with a rejection of the highest religious and political authorities, not excluding regicide, and tended to equate modernization with secularization, Japan undertook modernization under the authority of its supreme religio-political authority and in defense of the values of its traditional civilization. The document reads in part:

Know ye, our Subjects!
Our Imperial ancestors have founded our empire on a basis broad and everlasting and have deeply and firmly implanted virtue; our subject, ever united in loyalty and filial piety, have from generation to generation illustrated the beauty thereof. This is the fundamental character of our empire, and herein also lies the source of our education. Ye, our subjects, be filial to your parents, . . . pursue learning and cultivate arts, and thereby develop your moral powers; furthermore, advance the public good and promote common interests; always respect the constitution and observe the laws; should any emergency arise, offer yourselves courageously to the state; and thus guard and maintain the prosperity of our imperial throne, coeval with heaven and earth.

"According to Weber, the roots of this disenchantment, which was indispensable to the development of the distinctive rationalism of the modern world, were to be found in the monotheistic exclusivism of biblical Judaism. By affirming a unique, supramundane, creator God, biblical Judaism denied any inherent sacrality to the natural world or to the political order. God alone was regarded as sacred. There was no longer any divine spirits in nature to be appeased, supplicated, or magically manipulated. Nor was there anything inherently sacred about the political order."

"The Quran states the achievement of jannat (paradise). What is jannat but a classless society?" Yechury said at the Delhi YMCA,"


Not surprising since Christians often depict Hinduism as the oppressor which gave birth to Maoist Naxalites (crypto Christians). The idea of Hindus worshipping monarchs like Rama and Krishna would obviously be repugnant to those who want to build a classless utopia. Some marxist idiots have even started saying Ambedkar was wrong in becoming Buddhist as Buddha was a Kshatriya prince.

Secularism is there not because someone drops a word in the constitution. Some societies are secular just by their way of life and being homogeneous helps because no one is scared of the tiny minority. Btw, good luck digging up!

one SC judge (and a Muslim at that) had once commented that the idea of secularism got a place in India only because of Hindus...can't recall his name.

We can't force the knew child policy now. But we can after the right wing becomes stronger as it is looking now , .ie two decades from now when we will get an actual right wing party. Both one child policy(sticks) and Gharelu wapsis should be used for Muslim population. As far as I can see this is much more practical than having large no. of children , which might be difficult anyway. If Buddhists can do it, no reason for Hindus to not do it.

@asingh10 - brilliant hunting! thanks for those links/articles!
also, the term 'coolies' could also be hurled back at conservatives by the libtards. 'garbage men'/'jamadar'/'scavengers' would be more suited for the latter (ofc, no offence meant towards the people with those jobs).

since an article you shared talked of the Japanese and their love for preserving their traditions (why only the western-morph of 'modernity' has to be imported/vouched for always?!), and since 'cow' is central to this thread, got reminded of an excellent article i had gone through some months back that combines both; sharing it here:

The Samurai: Protectors of the Cow

If I were to tell you, that once, no other country, save India, revered the cow as much as Japan, I could understand your disbelief. Today, we think of Japan as a meat-eating culture. However, this image is a product of the last 150 years of American influence. The traditional Japanese culture held the cow as the most sacred animal. What follows next is the true story of among the greatest protectors of the cow – the Samurai.

In The Footsteps Of The Buddha
When Buddhism left India for the Far East it had a profound influence on all of the countries it encountered including China, Korea and Japan. Buddhism entered Japan around the year 552 A.D. In April 675 A.D. the Japanese Emperor Tenmu banned the consumption of all meat from four legged animals including cows, horses, dogs, and monkeys, as well as domestic birds such as chickens and roosters. Each succeeding emperor would periodically reinforce this ban until by the 10th Century all meat eating had been eliminated.

(see! the Kshatriya princess who turned Brahmin! untouchable for the leftits anyway!)


In mainland China and Korea the Buddhist monks adhered to the principle of ‘ahimsa’ or non-violence in their eating habits but theses strictures were not placed on the population as a whole. In Japan, however, the Emperor was very strict in guiding his subjects towards the Buddha’s teachings of non-violence. The killing of mammals was considered extremely sinful, birds moderately sinful, and fish somewhat sinful. The Japanese did eat whale, which today we know are mammals, but at the time were considered very large fish.

The Japanese also made a distinction between animals reared in the household and wild animals. To kill a wild animal such as a bird was sinful. However, to kill an animal raised from birth was considered abominable – tantamount to killing a member of the family. As such, the diet of the Japanese was mostly rice, noodles, fish, and on occasion wild fowl.

During the Heian Period (794-1185 A.D.), the Engishiki, a book of law and customs, required a period of fasting for up to three days as penance for eating meat. During this period of penance one was not to look at the deities of the Buddha as a sign of shame.

In subsequent centuries the Ise Shrine passed even stricter rules – one who ate meat must fast for 100 days, while one who ate with someone who ate meat must fast for 21 days, and one who ate with someone who ate with someone that ate meat must fast for 7 days. In this way, three layers of pollution were accounted for through penance due to the violence inherent in meat.

To the Japanese the cow was the most sacred animal.

The drinking of milk, however, was not common in Japan. Among the peasantry the cow was used almost exclusively as a draft animal to plow the fields.

Among the aristocracy there is some evidence of milk consumption. There were instances where cream and butter were used for the payment of taxes. However, for the most part cows were protected for their own sake and allowed to roam around the royal gardens at peace.

One milk product we know the Japanese used was called ‘daigo’. The modern Japanese word ‘daigomi’ meaning “the very best part” is derived from this milk product. It is meant to evoke the feeling of deep flavor and pleasure. Symbolically it was seen as the final stage of purification towards enlightenment. The first mention of daigo is found in the Nirvana Sutra with the following recipe:

“From cows to fresh milk, fresh milk to cream, cream to curdled milk, curdled milk to butter, butter to ghee (daigo). Daigo is the best.” – Nirvana Sutra

Another milk product was ‘raku’ said to be made from sugar mixed with milk boiled down until it became a hard block. Some say it was a type of cheese but from its description it sounds like a form of burfi. In an age before refrigeration this enabled the transport and preservation of milk protein. Shavings of raku were sold and either eaten or added to hot tea.

(AND THEN!)

The Foreign Arrivals

On August 15, 1549 Francis Xavier, one of the founders of the Jesuit Catholic order, along with Portuguese missionaries, arrived on the shores of Nagasaki, Japan. They began to preach their Christian faith.

Japan at this time was politically divided. Many individual lords ruled over territories and various alliances and wars were taking place. One Samurai, Oda Nobunaga, though born of peasants, would go on to become one of the three great unifiers of Japan. He was also notable for giving accommodation to the Jesuits for their preaching and supported the establishment of the first Christian church in Kyoto in 1576. Many believe his support was a way to undermine the power of the Buddhist priests.

Initially the Jesuits were cautious observers. In Japan they found an alien culture that was highly refined and developed. They noted that the Japanese were obsessed by cleanliness bathing every day. This was unusual at a time when Europeans would bathe only once every few months, if at all. The Japanese also wrote from top to bottom rather than left to right. And while they had a strong military order, in the Samurai, they still fought with swords and arrows.

The King of Portugal did not financially support the missionary activities in Japan. Instead the Jesuits were allowed to engage in trade. After converting the local Daimyo (lord) Omura Sumitada, the small fishing village of Nagasaki was given to the Jesuits. In time Christian missionaries found favor throughout southern Japan and converted the Daimyos of Kyushu and Yamaguchi regions.

All manner of trade began to flow through Nagasaki and merchants were becoming very wealthy. There was particular interest in Portuguese guns. However, as the missionaries expanded they began to introduce meat eating. At first it was as an “accommodation” for the foreign missionaries who “needed meat to be healthy”. But the slaughter of animals and the consumption of meat spread wherever people converted to the new faith. We see this evident in the Japanese word for meat ‘waca’ derived from the Portuguese ‘vaca’.

There was one social class called ‘Eta’ (literal translation “an abundance of filth”) that were considered unclean as their occupation was to dispose of dead carcasses. Today they are known as the Burakumin. No cow was ever to be killed. However, they were allowed to make and sell leather goods from a cow that died of natural causes. Because they were engaged in unclean activities, at the bottom of the social ladder, many converted and were engaged in the growing meat industry.

But the spread of meat eating was only the beginning. The Portuguese were one of the main merchants of world slavery at the time. The Jesuits facilitated this slave trade through their port city of Nagasaki. This became known as the “Nanban” or “southern barbarian” trade. Thousands of Japanese women were enslaved and brutalized around the world. There is in fact correspondence between the King of Portugal Joao III and the Pope listing the price for this exotic fare – 50 Japanese girls for 1 barrel of Jesuit saltpeter (gun powder).

As local lords were converted many forced their subjects to convert as well. The Jesuits saw weapons trade as one means to shift the balance of political power between the various warring sides. They supplied arms to Christian Daimyo and used their own military forces to advance their influence. Many lords would convert knowing they would gain military advantage over their rivals.

Within a few decades it is estimated there were over 300,000 converts. Caution was now replaced by confidence. Ancient Buddhist temples and shrines were now being desecrated as ‘pagan’ and ‘unholy’.

Observing all of this was the Samurai Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Like his master, Oda Nobunaga, he too was born a peasant and grew to become a powerful General. He became suspicious of Jesuit motives when he saw the Spanish conquer the Philippines. What he saw happening in Japan made him disgusted.

In 1587 General Hideyoshi commanded the Jesuit priest Gaspar Coelho to meet and handed him “The Purge Directive Order of the Jesuits”. In this document were 11 points, among them:

1) All Japanese slave trade must end and all Japanese women from around the world must be returned.
2) All meat eating must cease – the cow and horse must never be killed.
3) All desecration of Buddhist temples must end.
4) All forced conversion must end.

With that he expelled the Jesuits from Japan. It had been only 38 years since their arrival. Next he led his armies through the southern barbarian lands. Conquering these lands he was disgusted by the slaughtered carcasses that lined the street shops. He began to post Kosatsu, signboards, all along the countryside notifying the people of the laws and ordinances of the Samurai – among these laws – “Do Not Eat Meat”.

Meat was no longer simply ‘sinful’ and ‘unclean’. Now meat was associated with the wickedness of the foreign barbarian – with sexual slavery, religious desecration, and political subversion.

Following the death of Hideyoshi in 1598 the Samurai Tokugawa Ieyasu gained control. He also saw Christian missionary activities as a sort of ‘expeditionary force’ to conquer Japan. By 1614 he banned Christianity entirely noting they were ‘corrupting goodness’ and creating political division. During the following decades it is estimated that perhaps 3,000 Christians were killed, with most renouncing their faith or remaining hidden.

Finally, the Sakoku (‘Closed Country’) Edict of 1635 sealed off Japan to foreign influence. No Japanese were allowed to leave Japan nor return if they were abroad. Japanese trading boats were set on fire to sink off the coast. Foreigners were expelled and only a very limited amount of trade was allowed through the tiny peninsula of Dejima in the Bay of Nagasaki. This island was 120 meters by 75 meters and only 19 foreigners at any one time were allowed to be on this island.

For the next 218 years Japan remained isolated but politically stable. With no wars to fight the Samurai slowly became idle, interested mainly in the latest political gossip. While the society was controlled, some would say repressed, these restrictions allowed Japan to retain its traditional culture.


The Barbarians Return

On July 8th, 1853 Commodore Perry entered the bay of Edo, the capital city, with four American warships puffing black smoke. They blockaded the bay and prevented any food or supplies from entering the country. The Japanese, isolated for the prior 218 years, were technologically far behind and were no match for the modern American war ships. This became known as “the Black Sails” event.

The Japanese were panicked and this created a serious political crisis. Commodore Perry, on behalf of the United States, demanded Japan sign a treaty opening up for free trade. He began to fire his cannons as a show of force and threatened total destruction if they did not submit. On March 31, 1854 the Kanagawa Treaty “Japan – US Treaty of Peace and Amity” was signed. Soon thereafter the English, Dutch, and Russians followed suit using similar strong-armed tactics to force their way into free trade with Japan.

The Japanese realized their vulnerability and concluded they needed to modernize.

One small Buddhist temple named Gyokusen-ji was set aside to host the foreign visitors. By 1856 this temple was converted into the first U.S. Consulate in Japan headed by Consul General Townsend Harris.

For 1200 years not a single cow had been killed in Japan.

 

[OneGrimPilgrim]

(contd..................................)

Then in 1856 U.S. Consul General Townsend Harris had a cow brought to the Consulate and slaughtered on the grounds of the temple. Then he, along with his interpreter Hendrick Heusken, roasted and consumed the meat along with some wine.

This caused great disturbance in the community and farmers began to hide their cows in fear. Eventually Heusken was killed by a Ronin (a Samurai with no master) leading anti-foreigner campaigns.

But the act was done – they had killed the most sacred animal to the Japanese. It was this act that was said to inaugurate modern Japan. Suddenly “old conventions” were out, and the Japanese could shed their “primitive” and “backward” ways. In 1931 the consulate building was renamed “The Temple of the Slaughtered Cow” to memorialize this event. A statue of the Buddha, on top a pedestal decorated with cows, overlooks the building.

From then on slaughter houses started to appear and wherever they opened panic arose. The Japanese felt it desecrated their neighborhood, made it unclean and inauspicious.

By 1869 the Japanese Ministry of Finance established the gyuba kaisha, a company designed to sell beef to foreign traders. Then in 1872 Emperor Meiji passed the Nikujiki Saitai law which broke the two great strictures for Japanese Buddhist monks – it allowed them to get married and eat beef. Following that, in the same year the Emperor publicly announced that he personally loved to eat beef and mutton.

On February 18, 1872 ten Buddhist monks stormed the Imperial Palace to assassinate the Emperor. Five of the monks were shot and killed. They declared that eating meat was “destroying the soul” of the Japanese people and must be stopped. This news was suppressed in Japan but was reported in a British newspaper The Times.

The Emperor then disbanded the Samurai warrior class, replaced them with a Western style conscripted military, and started purchasing modern weapons from the United States and Europe. Many samurai became impoverished overnight. They were now on a lower standing than the merchant class who were profiting through new trade.

Marketing Meat In Japan

With the Emperor publicly declaring his love for meat the intellectual, political, and economic classes began to embrace it. Intellectually meat was promoted as a sign of civilization and modernity. Politically meat was seen as a way to build up the strength of the military – to build a stronger soldier. Economically meat was associated with affluence and wealth for the merchant class through trade.

But the general public still regarded meat as unclean and sinful. A process to market meat to the public began. One technique was to rename the meat so as to avoid knowing what it was. For instance, boar was called as ‘botan’ (peony flower), deer as ‘momiji’ (maple), and horse as ‘sakura’ (cherry blossom). We see a similar marketing approach today with Happy Meals, McNuggets, and Whoppers – whimsical names to hide the violence.

One meat company in 1871 ran this advertisement pitch for meat:

“First of all, a common excuse for disliking meat is that since cows and pigs are so big, butchering them is unbearable. Which is bigger, a cow or a whale? No one is against the eating of whale meat. Is it cruel to kill a living creature? Is it not cruel to slice open the spine of a live eel or to cut the head off a live turtle? Are beef and cow’s milk unclean? Cows and sheep eat only grains and grasses, while the boiled fish paste found in Nihonbashi is made from sharks that have feasted on drowning people. Although soup made from black porgy [a marine fish common in Asia] is delicious, it is made from a fish that eats the human excrement discarded from ships. And while spring greens are certainly fragrant and delicious, I expect that the urine applied [as fertilizer] to the plants the day before yesterday has soaked into the leaves completely. Does beef and milk smell bad? Don’t pickled fish organs also smell bad? The fermented and dried jack-fish meat certainly smells much worse. And what of the pickled eggplant and daikon radish made using the method introduced by our ancestors, by which insect larvae are combined with the rice miso used to pickle them? Isn’t the issue based more upon what we are used to and not used to? Beef and milk provide a great deal of nourishment and are extremely good for the body. They are basic ingredients of westerners. We Japanese must open our eyes and begin to receive the benefits to be had from beef and milk.”

Slowly the public began to turn.

The Cycle of Destruction

The coming decades saw Japan develop a modernized military with expansionist dreams. Meat became a staple of the Japanese soldier’s diet. While the scope of the subsequent wars is too great for this article we can say Japan went on to commit great atrocities across South East Asia. As the war was coming to a close, the United States, once weapons supplier to Japan, was putting the finishing touches on the world’s most destructive weapon.

On July 16, 1945 in Alamogordo, New Mexico, the first atomic weapon, code named ‘Trinity’ was detonated. The “father of the atomic bomb” Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, upon seeing the results thought of the Bhagavad Gita verse (11:32) “Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.” You can see him commenting on this verse below:


The U.S. military then set their sights on Japan. Most of the cities in Japan had already been decimated by years of war. President Truman decided on two targets – Hiroshima and Kokura. These were standing cities unharmed thus far by the war. By dropping the weapon upon these targets they could gain valuable ‘testing’ of the effects on buildings and humans while breaking the will of the Japanese people.

Three weeks later, on August 6, 1945 the Enola Gay dropped “Little Boy” a uranium bomb on the southern city of Hiroshima. Some 80,000 people were killed instantly with another 70,000 injured and dying over the subsequent weeks.

The next target was the city of Kokura but a typhoon rolled in delaying the flight. When the weather cleared on August 9, 1945 the plane, blessed by two priests, was loaded with “Fat Man”, a plutonium based implosion weapon. It took off from Tinian Island (code named ‘Papacy’) with orders to drop the weapon on the city of Kokura only on visual sight.

The pilot, Major Charles Sweeney, flew over Kokura but the city could not be seen due to cloud cover. He passed over and flew around for a second attempt but still could not see the city. Running low on gas and flying over enemy territory he made his third and final attempt. Again the clouds made it impossible to make visual sight of the target.

He flew on prepared to head back to base. Then the clouds parted and Major Sweeney could see the city of Nagasaki. With visual sight of a target he ordered the bomb dropped. It fell into the Urakami valley of Nagasaki. And with a flash as hot as the sun over 40,000 people were instantly killed. Far more would have died but the walls of the valley protected much of the exterior city.

Two of the greatest war crimes in history had just been perpetrated. The old and the young, men, women, and children, the healthy and the infirmed – all were killed. No mercy was shown.

The phrase “the Luck of Kokura” came to mean escaping unaware complete destruction.

When news came back that Nagasaki was destroyed the two priests that blessed the plane were in shock. Both Father George Zabelka (Catholic) and William Downey (Lutheran) would later renounce all forms of violence.

You see, Nagasaki was the center of Christianity in Japan, and the Urakami valley was the center of Christianity in Nagasaki. Almost 396 years to the day that Francis Xavier first arrived in Nagasaki fellow Christians killed more members of their faith than any Samurai ever did over 200 years of persecution.

Later two U.S. Catholic Bishops (John O’Hara and Michael Ready) were urged by General Douglas MacArthur, the Allied Supreme Commander, to send “thousands of Catholic missionaries” at once for they only had about one year to “fill the spiritual vacuum created by the defeat.”

The Aftermath & Modern Japan

The Japanese were completely destroyed. On September 2, 1945 they officially surrendered.

During the U.S Occupation (1945-1952), the Allied Supreme Commander established a school lunch program, managed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), in order to “improve the health” of Japanese school children and teach them an acquired taste for meat. Initially 250,000 children participated which increased to 8 million by the end of the occupation.

But a mysterious disease began to infect the school children. Some feared it was due to residual radiation from the atomic weapons. Rashes started to appear all over their bodies. In time they realized the Japanese were allergic to meat and the hives were a reaction to this sensitivity.

Over the coming decades Japan saw an increase in meat imports as well as the development of their own domestic slaughter industries.

In 1976 the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF) began a marketing campaign to promote U.S. meat in Japan. This was followed up with the 1985 Farm Bill Targeted Export Assistance (TEA) program. In 2002 USMEF create the “Desire Beef” campaign followed by the “We Care” campaign in 2006. The private-public relationship between the USDA and USMEF has helped to promote meat eating in Japan generating billions of dollars for the U.S. slaughter industry.

A sign of the current situation is a recent headline from McClatchy DC, December 8, 2014, that reads: “Japan’s soaring demand for cow tongue drives U.S. exports.”

Conclusion

This historical account can show us the techniques used in the promotion of meat eating:

1) An appeal to religious/foreign minority status.
2) Targeted conversion of the upper classes.
3) Targeted conversion of the lower classes.
4) Marketing of meat with whimsical names.
5) Association of meat with modernity, health, and wealth.
6) Weapons sales to create political instability.
7) Threats and acts of war to create free trade.
8) Complete destruction & rebuilding a new meat friendly culture.
9) The creation of school lunch programs to teach children meat eating.
10) The use of trade associations & economic incentives.

The ancient Seers understood the subtle laws that guide the universe. The violence inherent in meat sows the seeds of future conflict. When you see these techniques used know that a pralaya (destruction) awaits.

Once Japan was ruled by some of the greatest protectors of the cow – the Samurai.

The normative inversion theory is confirmed by the accounts of how dogs were tortured in Iran to torment the Zoroastrians & Cows were slaughtered to humiliate Hindus. Jews would slaughter Bull as Egyptians worshipped Apis, a bull deity. Sacrificed ram to ridicule Egyptian god Amun.

Tacitus on normative inversion :-

And this normative inversion my friends, is what unites someone like Kavita Krishnan & Owaisi on various issues, even though on the surface it may seem their ideologies are anti-thesis of each other. Both inherited normative inversion from their respective flavors of Abrahamisms (Communism & Islam). Both are anti (Hindu/Heathen) tradition.
