Posted in: Nissan Chairman Ghosn arrested over financial law violation See in context
We say its him who rescued Nissan. In my university, we studied deeply. Talked to lots of insiders and those restructured. The public doesn't have the whole pic. He deserve some but not all the credit. The Japanese needed an outsider face to do all the firings and restructuring. Gaijin was the perfect executioner

Posted in: SoftBank CEO Son says Saudi fund to continue despite Khashoggi murder See in context
The most insulting thing is that, he says its money from the Saudi populace. Its not. Its from the corrupt royal family.
Which common Saudi citizen know, let alone have a say about where the wealth is hidden?
Good that i stopped using anything softbank. Unfortunately this move by Son san will quitely die out in the japanese media and japanese mind. Remember they have stakes in yahoo japan.
In more enlightened societies, there would be boycotts. But here, everyone is minding their own business. After all, the family member didn't die.
The saying is true; dignity doesn't pay bills. He got to be soul-less for him to be super rich.

I posted the below in an earlier thread. I think it answers Bass here too
The plan isn't to shift media attention from Omarosa.
Its a calculated plan to prevent potential witnesses from accessing classified info when they are called to help investigators.
That's the whole story.
But the side effect is worse. These people on the enemy list have over 200 years of combined intelligence service. One wonders why sidelined Dan Coats doesn't resign in protest. They are sabotaging his ability to properly do his work.

My post may sound cold but that is the truth.
J politicians should be bold to their constituents and say the obvious. The abductees arent coming home(alive). TIME TO MOVE ON.
Our tax yen shouldn't be going to Trump and co simplying for the hope of raising this issue in a meeting. The whole country ia being held hostage now.

I don't know why some people would prefer Pence to Trump. I will choose Trump rather because at least for him, sometimes he doesn't know. Pence knows everything that's wrong with this administration and he pretend to be the wholly one. The way he lies with straight face, I can't stomach it. Pretending to be ignorant is worse
