The 2020 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony Pt.4

To be read as a direct continuation of Part 3; https://watchitdie.blogspot.com/2021/07/the-2020-summer-olympics-opening_29.html

Fun With Flags I.

It is International Olympic Committee (IOC) protocol that each Opening Ceremony must feature the welcoming of dignitaries. Representing the host nation, the IOC and a selection from the participating nations

It is also IOC protocol that each Opening Ceremony must contain a flag ceremony. In which the host nation's flag is raised and its national anthem played. Along with the raising of the Olympic flag and the playing of the Olympic anthem.

The Japanese hosts decided to combine these pieces of protocol. Meaning that the flag ceremony took place quite early in proceedings.

At the 2018 Winter Olympics. Held in PyongChang in the Republic of Korea (RoK/South). The welcoming of the dignitaries was unusually spectacular.

Included amongst the dignitaries was Kim Yo-jong. The; "Director of Propaganda and Agitation" representing the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK/North).

As North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's sister Kim Yo-jong is a member of the mythical Mount Paektu Bloodline. Which sees her have almost Royal status within North Korea.

Both North Korea and South Korea are still, technically, at war.

So Kim Yo-jong was the first member of the Mount Paektu Bloodline to ever set foot in South Korea. 

When South Korean President Moon Jae-in shook her hand. It was the first ever handshake between a South Korean President and a member of the Mount Paektu Bloodline.

The same sequence at the 2020 Summer Olympic Opening Ceremony was much less dramatic.

Covid restrictions limited the dignitaries to just the IOC President Thomas Bach and IOC Vice President Anita DeFrantz. Japan were represented by Emperor Naruhito and Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga.

Moving the flag ceremony forward in the Opening Ceremony gave us an early look at the protocol stage. Which was present throughout the Opening Ceremony.

The protocol stage had a very nautical theme to it. Essentially a wooden deck with two mast-like flag poles in its centre. On to which were hoisted sail-like flags.

Japan is an archipelago made up of 6,852 individual islands. Including the five main islands of Hokkaido, Shikoku, Kyushu, Okinawa and Honshu, where the capital Tokyo is located.

So ships and boats have always been important in Japan's history. Both to travel and trade with other nations and simply to move around the country.
 
Between the 13th Century A.D and the 16th Century A.D Japan really excelled at maritime piracy. The "Woku" or; "Japanese Pirates" terrorised commercial shipping routes in the Sea of Japan (East Sea) between China and the Korean Peninsula.

The ceremonies of the 2018 Winter Olympics frequently referenced the Korean Joseon Dynasty.

The flag ceremonies at the Olympic Opening and Closing Ceremonies were performed by the Royal Guard, modelled on the Joseon Royal Guard. While the Opening Ceremony of the Para-Olympics featured a version of a traditional ceremony welcoming important visitors to the Joseon Royal Court.

Lasting from 920 through until 1910 the Joseon Period is considered one of the most important in Korean history.

Amongst a host of scientific, technological and cultural advancement it saw the development of; "Hangul" the written Korean language. Along with much of the social order that continues to exist today.

One key technological development of the Joseon era was the; "Geobukseon (Turtle Ship)." Recognised as one of the first ever armoured warships.

Using Geobukseon Joseon Korea was able to almost put an end to the Woku.

In response Japan invaded Joseon Korea. Twice, in 1592 and 1597. However on both occasions it was the dominance of the Geobukseon which allowed Korea to cut Japan's maritime supply lines. Forcing Japan to retreat.

Joseon Korea was not able to use that naval advantage when it was invaded by China. First in 1627 and again in 1636. These defeats saw the remainder of Joseon Korea retreat into what's known as its "Hermit Kingdom" era.

The battles of this era continue to be relevant to this day.

Such as through the argument over what to call the sea between Japan and the Korean Peninsula. The; "Sea of Japan" or the; "East Sea." A dispute still so far from settled that it relies on the compromise of parathenesis; "Sea of Japan (East Sea)".

Likewise there is the ongoing dispute over the; "Liancourt Rocks." A small group of barren rocks which are seperately known to both North and South Korea as "Dokdo" and to Japan as; "Takeshima."

Within the South China Sea China has recently become increasingly exercised by the so-called; "Nine Dash Line." A network of nine island groups and barren rocks including the Sprately Islands, the Paracel Islands, Pratas Islands, Macclesfield Bank and Scarborough Shoal.

This Nine Dash Line is seen as important to China as a way to defend its coastline from attack. The way that it was attacked by Woku Pirates. Or how Joseon Korea Geobukseon were able to attack the Woku and cut Japanese maritime supply routes.

By picking up the theme of naval history from the 2018 Winter Games. Japan was able to show solidarity with South Korea. While at the same time introducing the World to some of the current challenges to security with the Asia-Pacific region.

It is extremely frustrating for Asians of all stripes. To hear western 'experts' lecture them on regional security issues. While referring to North Korea as the; "Hermit Kingdom." A term which refers to a completely different period of Korean history.

The Woku piracy and the invasions of Korea occurred during a period of Japanese history known as; "Sengoku." Which was essentially like the TV show; "Game of Thrones."

There was an Emperor, nominally in charge of the country. However, in reality, the country was being ravaged by fighting between local Emperors, Lords and Warlords (Daimyo).

"Sengoku" literally translates as; "Warring States."

Into this chaotic period sailed the first of the; "Black Ships." Portuguese trading Carracks, with hulls painted black with pitch. The first arrived in the port of Nagasaki in 1543.

At the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest Azerbaijan were represented by Efendi with the song; "Mata Hari."

Through Efendi's close links to Kazakhstan her entry was attempting to highlight the; "Silk Road."

Based around the trade in silk this is probably the most important thing in human history. Between the 3rd Century B.C and the 19th Century A.D.

Originating in China it was a network of trade routes. Spreading to Japan in the east and down through Europe into sub-Saharan Africa in the west and south.

Absolutely all exchanges between different cultures for over 2,000 years spread on the Silk Road.

The arrival of the Black Ships in Japan marked the beginning of the end of the Silk Road. With quicker maritime trade routes opened up it became easier for European nations to bypass China and landlocked central Asian countries like Kazakhstan.

China is now trying to re-open the Silk Road. Through it's; "One Belt, One Road Initiative" (Belt and Road Initiative). Choosing Kazakhstan to launch the initiative in 2013.

The purpose of the Belt and Road Initiative is to build modern transport infrastructure. Roads, Railway Lines, etc. In 70 nations on the path of the Silk Road. Japan in the east through to sub-Saharan Africa in the west, south.

It seems though China has learned the lesson of the Black Ships. Including sea ports as part of its new silk road. Including in Tanzania. Remember that detail, it will be important later.

The Portuguese Black Ships were quickly followed by ships from the Dutch East India Company.

Alongside similar Military-Commercial enterprises or; "Company States." Such as the British East India Company or the Royal African Company. 

The Dutch East India Company were one of the main mechanisms of European Colonialism. Including the African Slave Trade and the creation of America.

Much of the ideological basis for European Colonialism was laid by John Locke. Through his; "Labour Theory of Property."

Steeped in Christian thought the Labour Theory of Property states that the natural world is a gift from God. The only way that humans can take ownership of and profit from natural resources is through their labour. Refining them into products.

As the indigenous populations of Africa, North America and the so-called; "Indies" (East Asia) weren't refining their natural resources into products they didn't own them. So it was fine for Europeans to come in and just take it from them.

The Labour Theory of Property continues to be a cornerstone of Economics to this day.

It has been a longstanding problem within efforts to combat Climate Change. It dictates that no-one can be paid for simply not cutting down a tree.

It has also caused a particular problem during the pandemic.

Dictating that people cannot be allowed to natural develop immunity to COVID-19. Instead we must Lockdown until we can pay a Pharmaceutical company to provide us with less effective immunity, in the form of a vaccine.

The "Mata Hari" of Azerbaijan's song was the Dutch woman Margretha Geertrudia Zelle. Who went on to be possibly the most famous female spy in history. Under her stripper/exotic dancer stagename; "Mata Hari."

In 1897 Mata Hari moved with her Dutch husband, Rudolf McLeod, to Java, Indonesia. McLeod was a Captain in the Dutch East India Company.

The end of the first Black Ships period came to an end in 1639 A.D with the Shimabara Rebellion.

This saw Portuguese traders and the Japanese they'd converted to Catholic Christianity rebel against Matsukura Katsuie, the Daimyo of Shimabara District. It was brutally put down with some 37,000 people killed on both sides.

The Japanese were assisted in crushing the rebellion by the Dutch East India Company. Who were Protestant Christians. Bringing the European conflict between Catholic and Protestant Christians to Japan.

It was another 30 years before the Protestant Dutch invaded Ireland. Marking the start of 230 years of British Protestant rule in Ireland. Up until the 1919-1921 Irish War of Independence. The 100th anniversary of which is taking place this year.

However the Irish War of Independence only resulted in the Partition of Ireland and the creation of Northern Ireland. Leading to the Northern Irish Troubles. Along with arguments that have continued to rage beyond Britain's exit from the European Union (EU) - The "Brexit."

Between the arrival of the Black Ships and the Shimabara Rebellion Japan had emerged from the Sengoku period.

With victory in the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 the Shogun (warlord) Tokugawa Ieyasu was able to unite Japan under his rule. Eliminating rival Daimyo and moving Japan's capital to Edo. Which later became known as Tokyo, the Olympic host city.

This "Edo Period" is considered and cherished as one of the most important in Japanese history. Rather like the Joseon Period in Korea it was a time of great economic, scientific and cultural advancement.

Formed from the chaos of the Sengoku Period the Edo Period was governed by the over-riding principle of; "No More Wars."

Edo Japan looked at the Shimabara Rebellion and decided that foreign traders were more trouble than they're worth.

So Japan adopted the policy of; "Sakoku" or; "Locked State."

This saw foreigners banned from all of Japan, with the exception of Dejima Island near Nagasaki. It also saw almost all Japanese people being banned from leaving the country.

After 200 years the western nations had grown frustrated in not being able to share in the prosperity of Edo Japan. Dutch King William II urged them to reopen trade links in 1844 but was rebuffed.

In 1852 the US Navy dispatched Commodore Matthew Perry to conduct the; "Perry Expedition For the Opening Of Japan."

On July 8th 1853 Commodore Perry steamed four battleships - USS Mississippi, USS Plymouth, USS Saratoga and USS Susquehanna - into the bay at Edo. Belching black smoke and once again bearing westerners these were also known as; "Black Ships."

Commodore Perry threatened to burn Edo to the ground unless Japan signed a trade agreement with America.

Under the Sakoku policy Japan didn't really have any need for ships. So its naval power was reduced to just small coastal patrol boats.

This left them with no way for them to force Commodore Perry and his Black Ships to leave Edo bay. Or to stop him following through on his threat to burn the city to the ground.

After a five year stand-off Japan finally capitulated and signed the Harris Treaty of Amity and Commerce between Japan and the United States. The signing ceremony took place aboard the deck of the USS Powhaten.

Within five years of the Harris Treaty Japan had signed similar trade agreements with most of the western powers. Bringing to an end the Sakoku policy.

It is through things like the Perry Expedition that we have the expression; "Gunboat Diplomacy." Where you would literally sail a gunboat into someone's territorial waters and threaten to open fire if they don't give you exactly what you want.

It is a diplomatic strategy that post-Brexit Britain seems to be attempting to revive. With its gunboats stalking the Irish Sea Border between the Northern Ireland Protocol and the British mainland.

During the games we were even treated to HMS Tsimanouskaya attempting to sail into the EU harbour of Belarus. Via Tokyo's Haneda airport.

Having been forced to end its policy of Sakoku. By overwhelming American naval power. Japan began investing heavily in its own Navy once more.

The Imperial Japanese Navy was founded in 1868. By 1920 it had become the third largest Navy in the World. By far the most dominant Navy in Asia.

On its rise to regional dominance the Imperial Japanese Navy played a key role in the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895). This was fought between Japan and China for control of the Korean Peninsula.

As US President Trump knows. As US talk-show host John Oliver clearly doesn't. The border between China and the Korean Peninsula has always been somewhat flexible.

Unlike in the wars of 1592 and 1597 Joseon Korea was not able to defeat the Imperial Japanese Navy. Leaving them unable to cut Japan's maritime supply lines.

The resulting defeat saw Joseon Korea move from China's sphere of influence into Japan's. Ultimately being absorbed as part of Japan in 1910. Bringing to an end the Joseon Period.

In 1904 Imperial Japan went to war with the Russian Empire. In the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905).

This saw the two empires battle for control of Port Arthur. Which is located in Liaondong Province which is now part of China. Just on the border with North Korea.

The Russia Empire wanted control of Port Arthur as a warm water port for their Pacific fleet. However they were unable to overcome the might of the Imperial Japanese Navy.

The Imperial Japanese Navy also played a crucial role in the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945).

Not content with absorbing the Korean Peninsula Japan began expanding deep into China. Particularly the then Chinese capital Nanjing.

After Nanjing fell to Imperial Japanese forces massacred the civilian population. Killing an estimated 200,000 - 300,000 people. 

Something which is recognised as one of the most appalling atrocities committed by Imperial Japan. A continuing source of tension between Japan and China. 

Particularly when Japanese politcians visit the Yasukuni Shrine. Honouring the perpetrators of the Nanjing massacres.

Following the Rape of Nanjing China moved its capital to the now very famous city of Wuhan. That though fell shortly afterwards. Seeing the Chinese capital being moved to Chongqing.

Throughout the Second Sino-Japanese War America, Russia and Britain all backed China against Japan. This forced Japan to ally itself with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.

In 1941 the Imperial Japanese Navy attacked the US Navy at its Pearl Harbour base. Formally bringing Japan and America in to World War Two.

The World War Two conflict between Imperial Japan and America was primarily a maritime one. With huge Naval battles such as the Battle of Midway. Which saw the US Navy put all of the Japanese Imperial Navy's Aircraft Carriers out of action.

The conflict was also marked by amphibious landings on islands. Such as the famous flag raising by US Marines on the Japanese island of Iwo Jima.

In 1945 America dropped two nuclear, Atomic bombs on Japan. The first and only time that nuclear weapons have ever been used in anger.

This forced Japan's surrender. The official signing of which took place on the deck of the USS Missouri. As it was anchored in Tokyo Bay. In almost exactly the same spot where Commodore Perry had anchored his Black Ships 92 years earlier.

The USS Missouri actually has something of a personal significance to me. It featured heavily in the 2012 movie; "Battleship." Which also provided an early acting role for Rihanna.

Also I never got to meet my paternal grandfather. He died before I was born. Family legend has it though that he enjoyed something of a sketchy military career.

A large part of this was being a bodyguard from Britain's Lord Mountbatten. Including when he inaugurated the 1st Special Service Force, the so-called; "Devil's Brigade." The forerunner to the Canadian Special Air Service (SAS) and all of America's Special Operations Forces (SOF's).

It was Lord Mountbatten who represented Britain at the Japanese surrender aboard the USS Missouri. However my grandfather did not accompany him. Suddenly developing an ear infection that kept him out of all the photographs.

A habit he seemed to continue with throughout the rest of his career.

Having defeated Japan the World War Two Allies, primarily America, occupied the country. Between 1945 and the outbreak of the Korean War in 1952.

During this time America imposed a new constitution on Japan. Sometimes referred to as the; "Peace Constitution (Heiwa-Kenpo)" this has never been amended in the 74 years since. Making it the oldest unamended constitution in the World.

One of the main changes of the Peace Constitution is that does away with the Emperor as the Head of State. Leaving him merely as a symbol of the State and the unity of the people.

This ended Japan as quasi-Monarchical Empire. Turning it into a Parliamentary Democracy.

Probably the most famous article of Japan's Peace Constitution is Article 9. This sees Japan give up the sovereign right of belligerency. In short the right to resolve disputes through war.

Instead it commits it to pursue peace through an international order based on justice. A commitment all other nations went on to agree to through their membership of the United Nations (UN).

In practical terms Article 9 means that Japan is limited to only maintaining a military dedicated to its own self-defence. The Japanese Self Defence Forces (JSDF).

The Japanese Self Defence Forces are only permitted defensive weapons. Rather than purely offensive weapons. Such as ballistic missiles and Nuclear weapons.

In return America has promised to protect Japan. Bringing it under the umbrella of America's ballistic missiles and Nuclear weapons. While operating US military bases in Japan.

Article 9 has always been problematic. Some interpretations see it as being so restrictive that it only allows for military action when Japanese lives are directly at risk.

That could create a situation where North or South Korea could invade the Liancourt Rocks. Or China could invade some similarly unoccupied Japanese islands. As it has been known to do along the Nine Dash Line.

However because no Japanese lives would be directly in danger. Japan could do nothing militarily to repel the invasion.

In recent years there has been much discussion within Japan over the need to scrap or amend Article 9.

In 2014 they decided not to formally amend Article 9. Instead reinterpreting it's meaning so; "Self Defence" can include military action where territory rather than life is threatened and where an ally is under attack.

One of the main drivers behind Japan's rethinking of Article 9 is US policy. Specifically the; "Pivot Towards the Pacific" policy of former US President Obama. Along with former US Vice President Biden.

The Pivot Towards the Pacific policy was intended to contain the rise of China. It was designed with two tracks. The economic track and the security track.

The economic track saw the US opening up trade links with China's neighbours. 

The intention being to undercut Chinese manufacturers. By providing global corporations with cheaper alternatives to Chinese suppliers. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) being the main mechanism for this.

The security track of the Obama's Pivot Towards the Pacific saw the US build North Korea into the regional nuclear bogeyman.

The objective being that nations in the region would turn to the US to protect themselves from this threat. 

As a direct neighbour China cannot afford to be as aggressive in its rhetoric towards the DPRK. Due to the risk of the nations collapse triggering a massive refugee crisis. Amongst other problems.

Turning North Korea into a nuclear state, with the ability to launch nuclear missiles at Japan. While encouraging North Korea to threaten its neighbours is just insanely dangerous.

Perhaps unsurprisingly then this had the opposite effect to the one Obama and Biden intended.

Rather than see more Asian nations ally themselves with America and its defensive umbrella. It saw existing Asian allies view America as a threat rather than a protector. Seeing the need to protect themselves rather than rely on an increasingly unstable and untrustworthy America.

For example Japan changing its interpretation of Article 9. Along with South Korea drawing up plans to unilaterally and pre-emptively strike North Korea.

Japan has continued to expand its military independence from America.

The Maritime Self-Defence Force (JMSDF), it's not allowed to call itself a; "Navy". Has long operated Amphibious Assault Ships. These are defensive weapons, essential for landing ground troops on a Japanese island if it had come under enemy occupation.

They are now converting those Amphibious Assault Ships into what very closely resemble Aircraft Carriers. The type of offensive weapon you would use to project air power far beyond your borders.

With its frequent references to South Korea and the 2018 Winter Olympics. Japan was attempting the showcase the unity between the two nations. Against US policy in the region.

The Japanese flag was brought into the arena by a procession of flag-bearers.

Firstly six children. From Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima Prefectures. The worst affected by the March 11th 2011 (11/3/11) Earthquake, Tsunami and Nuclear disaster.

The decision in 2013 to award the 2020 Summer Olympics to Tokyo was in part driven to mark and chart Japan's recovery from the 3/11 disaster.

The flag was then handed to six new flag-bearers. Four of whom were Japanese champion athletes;

Yoshinaru Miyaki: Two time Olympic weightlifting champion.

Naoko Takahasi: Olympic marathon champion.

Honata Tanaka: Youth Olympic curling medallist.

Keita Doki: Youth Olympic sport climbing champion.

They were joined by;

Hibiki Sakai: A drummer who is Visually Impaired (Blind). 

Although I'm not familiar with his medical history. Sakai also appeared to be suffering from some sort of Cerebral Palsy like disorder. Giving the Para-Olympics a place within the Olympic Opening Ceremony.

Mizuki Asaba: A rescue worker who was part of the rescue operations following the 3/11 disaster.

As a woman Mizuki Asaba's inclusion also contributed to the debate about Japanese attitudes towards women in the workplace.

Misuki Asaba is a Paramedic. A role which is similar in stature to that of a Nurse. A traditionally female role. However Misuki is also a Firefighter. A traditionally male role.

To really emphasis the issue of Article 9 the flag was actually raised by members of the JSDF. 

All three branches; The Japan Ground Self-Defence Forces (JGSDF), The Japan Maritime Self-Defence Forces (JMSDF) and The Japan Air Self-Defence Forces (JASDF).

Further highlighting the recurring theme of improving rights for women in Japan. The JSDF flag detail was strictly gender-balanced. With male service members on the right and female service members on the left.

The Japanese National Anthem was performed by Misia. However it was her dress that was the star of the show.

This resembled a white flower blossoming into bloom

As this is Japan you could certainly interpret that as a reference to the Chrysanthemum. Used as the seal of the Emperor of Japan. Not to be confused with the Paulownia. Used as the seal of the Government of Japan.

You could certainly also interpret it as a reference to Cherry Blossom. The national flower of Japan.

Japanese Cherry Blossoms are hugely important within Japanese culture. Not least because they look and smell nice.

Dating back to the Nara Period (710-794) there is the practice of; "Hanami (Flower Viewing)." Gathering under Cherry trees as they blossom. To enjoy a picnic with family and friends. The type of picnic where alcohol seems to play a large part.

As a sign of friendship, an expression of gratitude for support in absorbing the Korean Peninsula in 1910. Japan gifted America 3,020 Cherry trees. So it to could enjoy Hanami.

Those trees continue to grow in Sakura Park in New York City and East Potomac Park in Washington D.C. Where they are a major tourist attraction during the spring National Cherry Blossom Festival.

Cherry Blossoms are also hugely symbolic within Japanese culture. Although beautiful their beauty is fragile and shortlived.

Encapsulating the concept of; "Mono No Aware (The Suffering of Things)." Similar to the concept of; "Memento Mori (Remember That You Must Die)." The ever present inevitably of death.

This fragile and shortlived beauty is something Cherry Blossoms share with the Lotus Flower

The Lotus Flower is used within Buddhism as a metaphor to explain the journey to enlightenment. Key to Buddha's own enlightenment was the realisation that age, sickness and death are the inevitable fates of all living things.

So you could also certainly interpret Misia's dress as a reference to the Lotus Flower. As the Lotus Flower and Cherry Blossom frequently overlap in Japanese/Asian culture.

The bottom of Misia's dress was coloured in the colours of the rainbow. The rainbow of the Rainbow Flag of gay-rights.

It was intended as a statement about Japan's journey to enlightenment on gay-rights.

That journey passed a big milestone in March 2021. When Sapporo District Court ruled that Japan's ban of gay marriage was unconstitutional. 

Reinterpreting Article 24's requirement for; "mutual consent between both sexes (in marriage)" to forbid forced marriage. Not same-sex marriage.

However due to the principle of; "Legislative Supremacy" the Court was not able to legalise gay marriage. Instead only being able to refer the matter back to the legislature (Parliament) to change the law.

For reasons that are slowly revealed throughout the Opening Ceremony. I have enjoyed a long relationship with Japan.

Legislative Supremacy is one of my favourite topics. It's one I wrote about extensively during the British Parliament's attempts to block Brexit. Particularly the UK Supreme Court's entirely unlawful ruling over the prorogation of Parliament back in October 2019.

It is a topic that it is probably best not to get me started on. As I can normally keep talking about it for the rest of the week.

So the Sapporo Court ruling and this sequence of the Opening Ceremony seems to be a celebration of my gay-rights activism in Japan.

Success that has come inspite of, not because of, western gay-rights activists.

Most of my gay-rights activism seems to involve attempting to apologise for western gay-rights activists. Or simply trying to pretend that they do not exist.

Within the Olympic movement one of the greatest humiliations of western gay-rights activists was the 2014 Winter Olympics. Held in Sochi, Russia.

These games were awarded to Russia's gay capital specifically to improve gay rights within Russia. The "Legacy" element of the games that the IOC used to be so interested in.

As was touched on in the opening animation. The Sochi games were set to focus on the Endocrinological cause for Homosexuality. 

To demonstrate to a sceptical Russian public that homosexuality is biologically pre-determined. Not a choice nor a mental illness.

However western gay-rights activists decided to throw that decade of hard work away

Choosing to heed the call of former US President Obama to boycott the games. To help support the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). One of the most viciously homophobic groups there have ever been.

By rejecting the cause of gay rights. In favour of support for a group that murders them by throwing them off tall buildings. 

Western gay-rights activists succeeded only in convincing people that they are suffering from mental illness. One which leaves them prone to suicide.

Not the sort of people you would want to expose your children or society to.

Away from the Olympics western gay-rights activists have continued their campaign to prove that they are mentally ill.

Such as with the gay community's decision to force the EU into an extremely bloody fight with itself. Over pandemic recovery funds.

The gay community's decision to force the EU into another extremely bloody fight with itself over Belarus. During the pandemic year. During the Brexit year.

It is things like that. Which is why my gay-rights activism tends to start with a long sigh. Followed variations on the phrase;

"Yes. I know they're all completely mentally ill. However that has nothing to do with the fact that some of them are also homosexual."

It also served as a justified criticism of Miley Cyrus. A woman who thinks collaborating with me would hurt her in negotiations with Sony Music. A massive Japanese conglomerate.

It served as a particular criticism of the way the US has attempted to hijack any potential relationship she might have with me. 

As their big, bold move of 2021. The thing that would see us all drop to our knees in worship of the new saviour, Joe Biden.

Miley Cyrus clearly thinks she has spent 2021 engaging in gay-rights activism. Promoting and normalising homosexuality in America in beyond.

In reality though Miley Cyrus has been doing something very different. The image she's really been projecting to the World is that of;

"Vile perverted men in dresses exploit emotionally unstable straight girl. Filling her head with nonsense."

I wouldn't go so far to say that Miley Cyrus cuts a tragic figure. But it's hard not to look and see a life going to waste.

That has been the main part of Miley Cyrus' sickening, violent and unpleasant attacks on the gay community. Which were much criticised at the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest. Essentially the highest echelon of the global gay community.

Or at least that would have been the image Miley Cyrus would have projected. The attacks on the gay community she would have carried out.

If I hadn't gritted my teeth and quietly neutralised them. Preventing them from ever really getting off the ground.

As I said;

The majority of effective gay-rights activism is either apologising for western gay-rights activists. Or simply trying to pretend that they do not exist.

Obviously we are only being critical in the hope it helps Miley Cyrus move forward on her own journey towards enlightenment. Growing as a person.

Japan's Sony Music certainly don't want her beauty to be fleeting. Now they've taken the risk of investing in her.

I'm sure we've also all picked up on the similarity. Between Sapporo District Court reinterpreting Article 24 of Japan's Peace Constitution. In much the same way has Article 9 has been reinterpreted.

Really driving home the connection. Between the sloppiness of western gay-rights activists and the need for Asian nations to distance themselves from American regimes that encourage them.

The dress was designed by Tomo Koizumi. A man who'd clearly understood the assignment.


To be continued in Part 5.

17:55 on 7/9/21 (UK date).
