Chapter 12
Bush Should have Stayed in Washington

It wasn’t I, however, who needed the first stroke of luck. It was President Bush.

Bush completely lost his eyes and ears in Japan. Due to the CIA mole, not only was Nakusan uncovered in Japan, but the entire U.S. network was out of business.

Bush made the biggest mistake of his entire career by going to Tokyo. And after it was over, he was glad to be alive, and all he could think about was that it was I who warned him not to go and that he should have listened to me.

It’s hard to go after someone who tried to save you from the misery experienced during what was nothing less than a nightmare for George Bush.

The President thought he was going to go to Tokyo to push the Japanese around. What he got was insult at every turn, with the Japanese parading a monkey around named after him. America was derided without stop, and Bush received no cooperation whatsoever.

Such hostility was made no secret from the media. The New York Times on January 10, 1992, reported:

"Bush's Painful Trip. There was no specter of nuclear war, of course. But negotiators seemed to realize that if the huge and growing trade deficit between Japan and the United States was not brought under control, it could drive Tokyo and Washington apart, hurt their economies and damage Mr. Bush's re-election prospects….It was too early to discern the American political effects of the Tokyo talks. But the widespread view in Japan was that the negotiators' efforts would not help the American economy or Mr. Bush's political fortunes, and indeed that they could lead to even deeper Japanese-American antagonism."

During a formal State dinner for President Bush in Tokyo, he keeled over and vomited right at the table.

Aside from this having to have been a cosmic embarrassment for President Bush, it indicated to me that Bush was poisoned by the Japanese. Nikko had told me all about the Japanese expertise in poisons.

George Bush who one year before was a shoe-in for re-election and who had the highest popularity ratings imaginable, saw everything really go downhill for him after his return from Tokyo.

He ultimately received criticism from his own friends and cabinet in how he handled his campaign. What his close friends and political allies and he himself may not have understood is what happened to him.

We Americans perceive poisoning as something which makes someone violently and fatally ill moments or shortly after the ingestion of the poison. The Japanese, on the other hand, see poisoning as not only a tool for murder but as a delivery system of a special effect or result to the victim.

To them, if one ingests something and he loses his drive and ambition, where before he had drive and ambition, this would be tantamount to a successful poisoning. That is what happened, I believe, to the President.

The Japanese were positive that Bush would undermine the current Japanese power structure immediately after his re-election. They saw what he did to the Soviet Union and to "U.S. friend" Gorbachev. So Bush was Public Enemy Number 1. They treated him with disrespect; and his collapse at the dinner table, his heaving, his later loss of Presidential ambition and drive, was no surprise to me. He really should have listened to me. He could never fully understand the Japanese mind set, and if he did, he would have known that they were as fixed in their course as those behind Bush were set in theirs.

David Rockefeller told George Bush, after his election loss to Bill Clinton, that the Japanese would one day pay dearly for what they did to his friend.

When Time Magazine reported him a failed President (Is Clinton Up to the Job?), on its front cover in June 1993, during his first 100 days in office, he was open to and received assistance from those who took Clinton onto the tracks of the Bush "new world order." .

Clinton only had one goal. To win in 1996. His new team told him what to do and he did it. His popularity soared and David Rockefeller smiled.

Clinton was the best soldier yet for the Bush coined "new world order" agenda. During his first term, he put his fingers into politics and elections all over the world. He also went to war with Japan, the bad boy in the "family of nations." As a result, open hostility broke out between the countries.

The hostility was not fought on the military battlefield. It was fought by Japan trying to align the "family of nations" against the United States. They were forging deals and at that time most people thought Japan had the upper hand.

I did too.

With Clinton in office, the Japanese launched a major attack on the U.S. dollar, where the greenback sank to historical lows against all major foreign currencies. The Japanese, in my opinion, as I advised clients, were attempting to get the Yen to replace the U.S. dollar as the international currency of choice.

Aside from all major commodities, like oil, in the future being priced in Yen rather than dollars, the U.S. losing the dollar as the international reserve currency, would uncover all skeletons inside the U.S. dollar closet and put the U.S. into economic and financial chaos. The only reason the U.S. could get away with murder, in the way it handled its multi-trillion dollar national debt, is because the U.S. dollar was the international reserve currency. Now, with the dollar losing value by leaps and bounds, the Japanese were ready to launch their final attack.

And this is what exactly happened.

The U.S. wasn’t getting anywhere with Japan. The dollar in 1993, 1994 and 1995 was getting hit all over the place and the U.S. knew who was behind it.

So in May, 1995, after the U.S. determined what the Japanese were doing, and after getting insulted by the Japanese in trade talks during all of 1994, the U.S. imposed harsh trade sanctions on Japan, effective June 28, 1995.

During most of 1994, the U.S. was threatening sanctions and the Japanese were laughing. Now, the U.S. intended to show Japan that it meant business.

The U.S. position is seen by a May 25, 1995, Reuters news report, excerpted below:

SINGAPORE - Nearly two weeks after declaring that it would impose harsh trade sanctions on Japan, the Clinton administration is finding itself isolated and outmaneuvered around the world, with Asian governments joining their counterparts in Europe in condemning Washington's move to impose $6 billion in punitive tariffs against Japanese-made luxury cars.

The sharp rejection of President Clinton's initiative in both Asia and Europe has come as a pleasant surprise to Japanese officials, and it seems to be emboldening them to face down the United States.

...Indeed, American officials are making little effort to defend the legality of the sanctions. Instead, they have begun to send direct and indirect messages to Tokyo that something much more important than auto parts is at stake.

Japanese leaders, they now argue, have an essential decision to make: whether it is worth winning points in front of the World Trade Organization if the long-term cost is harm to their overall relationship with the United States.

Japan had broad based world-support and, as far as they were concerned, the U.S. was ready to hang itself. The U.S., from the Japanese perspective, fell totally and completely into their trap.

Japan, as expressed by the news article, won backing at the World Trade Organization against U.S. actions. The U.S. was getting a black eye and there was no escape.

Reuters on May 29, 1995 reported:

Trade sources said envoys from Australia, India and Indonesia also condemned ``unilateral actions'' -- a reference to the U.S. imposition of 100 per cent tariffs on Japanese luxury cars to go into full effect on June 28.

An ambassador from one key emerging country told Reuters Washington's move was a challenge to the structure for solving disputes created under the WTO with U.S. support. ``They are holding the whole system hostage,'' he added.

On ABC’s This Week with David Brinkley, "... Democratic Sen. Bill Bradley of New Jersey and former Trade Representative Carla Hills, warned that America could get hurt by playing hardball with Japan."

Last minute intense negotiations were taking place in Geneva. As negotiations approached the June 28th deadline, Japan opened personal attacks against U.S. lead negotiator, Mickey Kantor.

Japan’s chief negotiator, Ryutaro Hashimoto, was someone who was an open foe of the United States. He, as chairman of the Japan War Bereaved Families Association, fiercely opposed apologies for Japan’s wartime actions. He represented Japan in U.S. trade negotiations. He gave up nothing.

Moreover, ever since his childhood friend, Nakusan Kaitu, was uncovered as a U.S. operative, Hashimoto was more committed than ever to pay back the U.S. since much of what Nakusan learned and transmitted to U.S. authorities came from Hashimoto, his lifetime friend. The Japanese trade negotiator blamed, with his heart and soul, the U.S. for turning his friend against his own people.

So when Kantor presented Hashimoto with a kendo bamboo marital arts sword as a gift, Hashimoto, according to the news reports, " brandished the sword, known as a shinai, under Kantor's nose with a broad smile, he then handed it to an aide...."

If this wasn’t insult enough for Kantor and the U.S., Hashimoto told the world media that "...arguing with Kantor is ``more scary than even my wife when I come home drunk.'' This was a supreme insult to Kantor.

On Sunday, June 25th I got a call from someone at the State Department. He said he got my name and number from former President Bush who suggested that he call me to ask: "What do I think it will take for the Japanese to throw in the towel."

Just the type of question I like getting on a Sunday morning. The fellow’s name was Talbor or something like that, and he had that attitude which suggested to me that he hadn’t any idea of why he was calling me and, better said, who I was since I surmise I didn’t show on State’s computers.

My answer didn’t much impress him either. I told him to tell ex-President Bush that I did not think they would cave in; I could not think of anything to scare them off except telling them that the U.S. was going to covertly support military action against them by one of the many Asian countries that hated the Japanese. I said I was sorry but that’s all that came to mind. Personally, I didn’t think any threat would stop them.

It was a good thing, however, before hanging up with Talbor that I asked him how much longer Kantor was going to hang around getting himself and the U.S. insulted.

Talbor said that meetings were scheduled until and including the deadline date of June 28th. Then, if no agreement, Clinton would have to make the hard decisions.

I thought for a brief moment and said. "I don’t think Hoshimoto will be there Wednesday if you don’t reach any agreement by then."

"What do you mean," he asked sharply.

"The Japanese are figuring we are desperate as per your calling me. Hoshimoto, I predict, may fall ill Monday or Tuesday and will leave suddenly for Japan eviscerating final meetings and any tactical ploys you may have in mind."

"I’m not sure," I quickly added. "But it is a tactic of theirs that they use in critical situations. Quite frankly I’m surprised they haven’t used it already."

"Thanks," Talbor said and hung up.

On June 28th, the U.S. won. I’m sorry, I don’t know how. I only know that Kantor burst into Hoshimoto’s room unannounced at 8:45 AM, hours before the scheduled meeting. According to Kantor’s historical remark to the press: "He (Hoshimoto) was very pragmatic. He understood the choices we faced and that was the turning point."

With those words and on that day, the U.S. became the supreme and sole world superpower.

It is also the day history will ultimately record that David Rockefeller and his elitist centrix came in control of the world, because it allowed them to move to control leaderships in all major world countries and financial centers, and the day America’s future as a true democracy was seriously compromised.

David Rockefeller called his friend George Bush, now living a comfortable life in retirement, with two sons in politics, one currently the Governor of Texas: "I told you they would pay, George. And I’m not finished with them yet!"
