From 9/11 Truth Movement Colleagues on Japan
Yes, this incidence is quite disturbing,
but on the other hand it may be a sign that those holding to "911
Official Story might think they need to do some counter attack against
uprising 911 Truth movements especially including Richard Gage's recent
actions. I truly believe it won't be long until the Truth will come out!
And this could be such an introduction.
We are
discussing right now to find how to take an action properly with Mr.
Fujita. I have attached the English translation from his recent blog
explaining what exactly happened then. It seems obvious that this WP
editorial staff intentionally set up the interview with Mr Fujita to get
his any words implying "911 is a hoax".
Thank
you for your concern.

Comment on Circumstances of Washington Post Editorial Dated
Mar 8, 2010
Yukihisa Fujita
Member of the House of Councillors
At 10:30 am on March 3, 2010, Lee Hockstader, Editorial
Writer for the Washington Post, visited myself (Yukihisa Fujita, member of the
House of Councillors, and Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) International
Department Director General) having made an interview request on the subject of
“Japan’s stance on and shifting attitudes toward immigration” via the Foreign
Press Center, Japan. (see the
attached interview request and questions)
1. The
requested interview time of one hour was spent discussing the current situation
relating to Japan’s response to immigration and my opinions on this issue. During the interview Hockstader typed my
comments into his laptop computer, as he had requested. However, once the one hour interview
had ended and Hockstader had closed his laptop, he mentioned as an aside that
he had noticed from my resume that I had raised the issue of the 9/11 terror
attacks in a Diet committee, and asked whether I had some doubts about this
issue. In response, I explained
the circumstances that led me to become involved in the 9/11 issue and pointed
out a number of points that still remained unexplained about the events of that
day.
2. In
other words, after answering questions on the agreed upon theme for around one
hour, I naturally responded to this question as being separate from the
interview itself.
3. Ms.
Fukasawa of the Foreign Press Center, Japan also attended the interview (DPJ
International Department Manager Ms. Uchida and Deputy Manager Ms. Burnicle
were also in attendance), and she confirmed that during his visit to Japan,
Hockstader did not conduct interviews on any other subject than immigration. (following
the interview, I received a letter of thanks from Foreign Press Center, Japan
President Terusuke Terada). The
entire interview was recorded and I intend to disclose the content of the
interview in due course.
4. As
stated in 1. above, this was an informal chat regarding 9/11 following the
actual interview itself. At no
point did I draw the conclusion that 9/11 was a conspiracy, and I clearly
stated that I had never concluded that the collapse of the Twin Towers had been
a result of a controlled demolition.
Rather, I stated I had made my speech in the Diet from the stance that
it was necessary to investigate the origins of the “War on Terror” from the
perspective of assisting the relatives of the victims of 9/11, and in relation
to the war in Afghanistan and the provision of humanitarian assistance.
5. Furthermore,
I have many American friends from various walks of life, and have worked for
many years to serve as a bridge between Japan and the United States, including
by providing assistance to former US POWs held captive by Japan.
6. I
currently serve as Senior Director of the Research Committee on International
Affairs and Global Warming Issues in the House of Councillors, but I was
introduced in the article as though I was the Chair of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs. Moreover, the article
describes me as “a Brahmin in the foreign policy establishment” of Japan, while
in fact, as Director General of the Democratic Party of Japan’s International
Department, I am not involved in policy matters. I find it totally regrettable that this kind of biased
article should be published in the Washington Post.
