Whether it's the WWII exploitation of Korean and Allied forced laborers or
disregard for life and limb in the USA, Japanese Zaibutsu continue their
tactics of denial.

With all the adverse publicity and intense scrutiny by the media and
government one finds it curious there is a significant factor that has not
been mentioned.

About 80-90% of Americans assume the Firestone Rubber Company is an American
Company, which it was for about a hundred years until Bridgestone, a
Japanese company, founded in 1931 bought them in 1988 and took over direct
management of Firestone.

 I have not seen more effective damage control with regard to the reputation
of Japanese Zaibutsu since Emperor Hirohito was purported to be a symbolic
pacifist monarch, whose primary interests were gardening (Green Day -
midori-no-hi) and marine biology (jellyfish).
