DidYouKnow...

Today Japanese companies own the 7/11 store chain, Dunlop, Universal Pictures, 
Columbia Pictures, Loews Theaters, MCA Home Entertainment, Tri-Star Pictures, 
CBS Records, Columbia Records, Spencers stores, Ciniplex Odeon (a big part),
Firestone Tires and many many more very large US companies while foreigners
are prevented from owning any important Japanese concerns. Ordinary Japanese 
are kind wonderful people, but what their companies and government are doing 
is racist and wrong.
 
     To find out more about this (and get a more complete list of the above), 
read (JAPANYES) "Does America Say Yes To Japan?";Leclerc 1992,93 which is 
available on INTERNET. (most recent edition is v031993). This thoughtfully 
written and important article has been circulating widely in many of America's 
biggest corporations & universities like IBM & Harvard. When you read it (it 
takes about 30 minutes), you'll see why.
 
     The essay provides a frightening yet fascinating detailed, referenced 
overview of the Japanese industrial machine at work and how Japan practices 
'business is war' strategies to target and take over strategic critical U.S. 
industries like high technology, popular media and heavy industry as well as 
influence the decisions of the US government in favor of Japan. It is a very 
moving piece and is filled with many verifiable and disturbing examples.
