Have you heard the news that Tramp was recommended as a Nobel Peace Prize Winner? What? Is it a black joke? No. Japan’s Prime Minister Abe wrote a beautiful five pages letter to recommend him, Trump said. Abe didn’t deny it saying, “President Trump is working hard for the world peace, especially the issue of North Korea.” We suspect the United States asked or ordered Abe to work for the nomination of Trump. Abe is a servant of Trump, as you know, so he did as he was told to do. What a shame!
Talking about the Peace Prize, The Prime Minister of Japan, Eisaku Sato won the one in 1974, for his effort for the return of Okinawa and the principle about nuclear weapons. But later both reasons proved false; Japan paid money to America for Okinawa. It was a secret treaty. One reporter of a newspaper scooped the fact, but the government and the Power crashed and ruined him. I remember it. About nuclear weapons Sato declared that Okinawa came back to Japan without them. It was also false. The document was found in his house after his death. The US didn’t remove the nuclear weapons from Okinawa, as we guessed.
I have just read a novel named ‘Hero’s Island’. The story is about Okinawa from 1952 to 1972, which was injured from the war and humiliated by the occupation. But the people are beautiful with its vivid dialect. You learn the history and the circumstances of Okinawa from the story. It got a popular prize recently, and became famous. It is very good for many people who don’t know about Okinawa to read the story and like it.
In Okinawa they are voting about the new US marine base now though the government and the LDP have been trying to prevent it. And the government says “We will continue building the base regardless of the result.” I am so ashamed we can not eliminate this government. .
