Because Japanese collaborators in the Philippines retained power even after Japan surrendered, Filipino, American and foreign nationals who were victims of Japanese war crimes never got the justice they sought nor received reparations, restitution or any form of payment for the death and suffering for which the Japanese Imperial military personnel and their Filipino puppet were responsible.

Konishi was later tried for war crimes and convicted in the Philippines (1946-1947) and hanged in Japan.

“It was an extraordinary experience. The closest to heaven I have ever been. Quite similar to what this veteran Brian Hoyland went through. In my case it was just the earlier stages of the trip. I was holding her hand, talking to her and before I knew it, our surroundings was changing. Everyone else disappeared. The buildings and structures around us were disappearing and green fields were appearing. I knew we were going back in time.

I was still talking to her but I don’t exactly recall what I said except bits and pieces. Then we were alone in this dance hall-like structure with no walls on three sides. I can see the fields and haystacks. And for miles and miles around, nobody else was there. Like what Brian Hoyland experienced, there was an outpouring of peace, love and joy was pouring, mostly love. But I wasn’t in a dark place or starlit space. I was firmly on the ground. Later it quickly got dark as if it was night, yet there was light were we stood. It was heaven on earth. And something told me, everything will be fine. I was still holding her hand. Then, like waking up in the most wonderful dream, I came to and sort of rejoined the party. Three hours felt like three seconds. I thank God a billion times for this and I feel sorry for those who have not been to this heaven on earth episode. It’s an experience that’s forever etched in my soul.”

Veteran Dies And is Shocked When Jesus Says This…

Excerpts: 1:25 – as soon as I died I snapped and I popped. I felt this like physical exertion that my body came you know my soul came out of my body it was it was a really powerful experience and then I’m in this this dark tunnel.

1:41 – And it was just peace and love and joy was just filling me. I, all the chaos to the hospital room completely stopped. I didn’t even care about it anymore my all my emotions were very level and very, very calm very, very peaceful.

1:57 – You know they had a a sense of balance to them so having just experienced all that trauma and terror particularly for all those months but really cultivating it at the end there

Monday September 4, 2023 HAPPY LABOUR DAY!!!

This is about my post in 2019 September 4 when Hong Kongers were protesting Beijing’s social credit score system.

Hong Kong and Kowloon were ceded to Great Britain in perpetuity.

Then in 1997 In accordance with the “One country, two systems” principle agreed between the United Kingdom and the People’s Republic of China, the socialist system of the People’s Republic of China would not be practised in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), and Hong Kong’s previous capitalist system and its way of life would remain unchanged for a period of 50 years.[50] This would have left Hong Kong unchanged until 2047.

In the years following the 2014 protests, Beijing and the Hong Kong government stepped up efforts to rein in dissent, including by prosecuting protest leaders, expelling several new legislators, and increasing media censorship. The Chinese Communists changed their minds and abrogated the “One country, two systems” principle agreed between the United Kingdom and China in 1997.

The COVID pandemic was about to begin.

SPREAD THE WORD . . .

No. 1 – “Hong Kongers should be worried about China’s social credit score system. It’s an extremely oppressive system which literally forces people to live in a type of social prison. People who have low social credit scores a.k.a. people who oppose communism and authoritarianism, are punished with the loss of certain social privileges like the ability to travel by plane or train, or find a good job, school choice for their children, and even the loss of family pets! . “

No. 2 – Communism is a concept alien to China!Why not hold a referendum and ask the people of Hong Kong what form of government they would like to have?Free will, God’s greatest gift, is the basis of a genuine democratic society!

No. 3 – On April 10, 1974 Deng Xiaoping, as Chairman of the Delegation of the People’s Republic of China, delivered a speech at the Special Session of the U.N. General Assembly. He assured the world: “China will not be a superpower , nor will she ever seek to be an imperialist country which everywhere subjects other countries to its aggression, interference, control, subversion or plunder* and strives for world hegemony.”

No. 4 – In that speech Deng Xiaoping warned and advised that if China becomes an aggressive, exploitative, bully that it is today under the Cult of President for life Xi Jinping, the Father of Modern China urged the world to EXPOSE IT, OPPOSE IT and WORK TOGETHER WITH THE CHINESE PEOPLE TO OVERTHROW IT!”
