Douglas MacArthur 2d, a diplomat who was Ambassador to Japan from 1957 to 1961, a period when relations between Tokyo and Washington were put on a new footing of equality after 15 years of Japanese subordination, died on Saturday at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington. He was 88 and lived in Washington.

Mr. MacArthur was a nephew of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who became the commander of the Allied occupation of Japan immediately after World War II.

After his time in Tokyo, Mr. MacArthur went on to become Ambassador to Belgium, Assistant Secretary of State for congressional relations, Ambassador to Austria and then Ambassador to Iran. There, he escaped an attempted kidnapping. He retired in 1972.

While he was Ambassador to Japan, he played a crucial role in prolonged negotiations during which Japanese grievances were addressed. Eventually, a new United States-Japanese mutual security treaty was signed and ratified by both Governments and went into effect in 1960. In that year, Time magazine called him ''the principal architect of present-day U.S. policy toward Japan.''

Despite the improvement in Japanese-American relations, there were leftist-led demonstrations against the treaty in May and June 1960, and they led to the cancellation of a scheduled visit to Japan by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. But afterward, the political party that accepted the pact was returned to power in the Japanese Parliament.

While the uproar dwindled, Premier Hayato Ikeda, on becoming head of the Japanese Government, declared that no unsolved problems remained between the Washington and Tokyo. At the time, his statement was called a signal that the postwar transitional era in relations between the two countries had come to an end, and it was said that most of the remaining problems that had emerged since the war's end had either been done away with or cut down to manageable dimensions.

Late in the transitional era, there had been strong dissatisfaction, within the emerging postwar Japan about what were seen as limitations on its sovereignty.

Years later, in 1974, it was reported from Tokyo that authoritative Japanese sources had revealed that a secret agreement allowing the United States to move nuclear weaponry through Japan had been reached in 1960 by Mr. MacArthur and Aiichiro Fujiyama, the Japanese Foreign Minister at the time. But Mr. MacArthur, who was a businessman in Belgium in 1974, and the Japanese Foreign Ministry denied the report.

Afterward Mr. MacArthur was Ambassador to Belgium from 1961 to 1965, Assistant Secretary of State from 1965 to 1967, Ambassador to Austria from 1967 to 1969, and Ambassador to Iran from 1969 to 1972.

He was born in Bryn Mawr, Pa., to Arthur MacArthur and the former Mary Hendry McCalla and went on to graduate from Milton Academy in Milton, Mass., and in 1932 from Yale. He served as an Army officer and then began his Foreign Service career in 1935 and was given a post in Vancouver, Canada.

After a succession of postings in Europe, he was assigned, during the Nazi occupation of France, to Marshall Henri Philippe Petain's puppet capital at Vichy in central France. When the Vichy Government broke off relations with the United States in 1942, he was turned over to the Nazis and was interned for 16 months.

The former Vichy Ambassador to the United States met Mr. MacArthur in Lisbon after he was freed, and remarked that he had lost weight in confinement. Mr. MacArthur answered, ''You would probably have lost weight yourself, sir, if we had handed you over to the Japanese.''

Rising in the diplomatic world, Mr. MacArthur became chief of the State Department's Divison of Western European Affairs in 1949 and was Counselor of the State Department before becoming Ambassador to Japan.

His wife of 53 years, the former Laura Louise Barkley -- daughter of Alben W. Barkley, Vice President in the Truman Administration -- died in 1987.

Mr. MacArthur's survivors include a daughter, Laura MacArthur, who lives in Belgium; two grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Adolf Tscheppe-Weidenbach, the son of Baron von Tscheppe-Weidenbach from Baden, Germany, and Emma Willoughby, was born in 1892. After attending the University of Heidelberg, Willoughby moved to the United States in 1910 and became known as Charles Willoughby.

Willoughby joined the United States Army and served with Company K, 5th U.S. Infantry, and eventually reached the rank of sergeant. He was commissioned a major in May 1914 in the Officers Volunteer Corps. During the First World War Willoughby served on the Western Front.

In October 1919 Captain Willoughby was reassigned to the 24th Infantry serving at Columbus, New Mexico.

His next assignment took him overseas to San Juan, Puerto Rico, where again he served as both company and battalion commander in the 65th Infantry from February 1921 to May 1923. He now joined the Military Intelligence Division, as served as Military Attaché duties in Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador.

In August, 1929, Willoughby started a course at the Command and General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. After graduating two years later, he stayed on at the school as an instructor, teaching the subjects of Intelligence and Military History. He also edited the Command and General Staff School Quarterly.

In 1936 he was appointed as an instructor in the Infantry School at Fort Benning. Later he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel. He developed extreme right-wing views and once delivered a speech to Spanish dictator Generalissimo Francisco Franco at a lunch in Madrid. He also praised Benito Mussolini: “Historical judgment, freed from the emotional haze of the moment, will credit Mussolini with wiping out a memory of defeat by re-establishing the traditional military supremacy of the white race.”

Willoughby became logistics officer in the Headquarters of the Philippine Department in Manila where he served under General Douglas MacArthur. Promoted to the rank of major general, Willoughby served as General MacArthur’s Chief of Intelligence in the General Headquarters, Southwest Pacific Area (1941-1951).

The Japanese Air Force attacked the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor on the 7th December 1941. The following day they carried out air strikes on the Philippines and destroyed half of MacArthur’s air force. MacArthur was much criticized for this as he had been told to move his airforce after the raid on Hawaii the previous day.

The Japanese Army also invaded the Philippines and they soon held the three air bases in northern Luzon. On 22nd December the 14th Army landed at Lingayen Gulf and quickly gained control of Manila from the inexperienced Filipino troops.

Although only 57,000 Japanese soldiers were landed on Luzon it had little difficulty capturing the island.

General Douglas MacArthur now ordered a general retreat to the Bataan peninsula. A series of Japanese assaults forced the US defensive lines back and on 22nd February, 1942, MacArthur was ordered to leave Bataan and go to Australia. General Jonathan Wainright remained behind with 11,000 soldiers and managed to hold out until the beginning of May.

In December 1942 Willoughby was with General Robert Eichelberger in the capture of Buna Village in the Buna-Gona campaign. He was awarded the Army’s second highest decoration for gallantry, the Distinguished Service Cross, for “extraordinary heroism in action”.

Willoughby accompanied Douglas MacArthur to Tokyo for the occupation of Japan. When attempts to suppress news to the United States ended in failure, he labeled reporters who defied him, as “Communists”. A Cold War warrior he was a strong supporter of the activities of Joseph McCarthy. He also lobbied the US Congress to authorize $100 million for General Franco’s government in Spain. MacArthur once described the six-foot, three-inch, Willoughby as “my little Fascist”.

In 1951 Willoughby went before the House of Un-American Activities and provided information about the Richard Sorge spy network. This included information that claimed that Agnes Smedley was a “communist subversive”. In retirement Willoughby was a member of the International Committee for the Defense of Christian Culture. During the 1050s he worked closely with Billy James Hargis, Haroldson L. Hunt, John Rousselot and other right-wing figures. Willoughby was also a board member of Young Americans for Freedom, an organization created by Larrie Schmidt.

Two days after the assassination of John F. Kennedy a long-distance telephone operator in Mexico City monitored an international phone call. She heard one of the voices saying: “The Castro plan is being carried out. Bobby is next.” The telephone numbers were traced. One number belonged to Emilio Nunez Portuondo, the Latin American Affairs editor of Willoughby’s Foreign Intelligence Digest.

In 1968 Willoughby moved with his wife to Naples, Florida. Charles Willoughby died on 25th October, 1972.

Mossad

Does Israel know that the mossad offers free lessons in international organized terror and crimes to all rebels and radical movements, and that through their terror actions they are teaching them how to kidnap and murder Israelis in retaliation for the operations carried out by Israel in several countries of the world?

A series of terrorist operations have been carried out by Israel throughout the world alongside the israeli occupation crimes against the Palestinians which have lasted for over 63 years. The Israeli crimes in the Western world and the violation of the sovereignty and borders of other countries all pass in the silence of the world, the Security Council and the International community, exactly as if everyone is deaf, blind and dumb whenever Israel commits a new crime and terror.

Click Here to Read the Full article.

To illustrate the Israeli terrorism, I present the following summary of some crimes and terror that were recently perpetrated by Israel in Western countries. The crimes were perpetrated under silence from the international and global World. The summary is followed by questions that need answers and clarifications from the Security Council and the governments that claim to be fighting against terrorism and International Organized Crimes. The questions are also addressed to the International public, the people who represent the future in their countries. It is also addressed to everyone who seeks the truth without deception or evasion. To these people who are interested in knowing the truth I would suggest that they submit these questions to their governments first, and secondly to the Israeli embassies in their countries.

Lesson of Terror & Organized Crime in Sudan: On Tuesday April 5, 2011, the Sudanese government filed a complaint against Israel with the United Nations Security Council over the airstrike near the Port of Sudan which killed two people who were in a car. According to Sudanese sources, a foreign aircraft entered the African nation’s airspace from the Red Sea. In January 2009, Israeli aircraft hit a convoy of what they claimed were “arms smugglers” headed for Gaza.

Lesson of Organized Crime in Georgia: On April 1, 2011, Georgia sentenced two Israelis to jail, Ron Fuchs (פוקס רון) for seven years, and Zeev Frenkel (פרנקל זאב) for six and a half years, for bribing the Georgian deputy finance minister with seven million dollars. Ron and Zeef met with the deputy minister and offered him a bribe in exchange for convincing the government ministers not to oppose the results of the arbitration process in which Ron and Zeev were awarded nearly $100 million, but the Georgian government challenged the decision and did not transfer the money to the Israeli businessmen.

Lesson of Terror & Organized Crime in Ukraine: On 18, February 2011, the Israeli intelligence service mossad abducted in Ukraine Dr. Dirar Abu-Sisi. 42 years, the director of the Gaza power plant. The Ukrainian security services aided in the abduction operation and were conniving with the mossad. On Monday April 4, 2011, Abu Sisi was charged with being a “close confidant of the Hamas military leaders and instrumental in developing their rockets, including increasing their range and ability to pierce steel so as to penetrate armored vehicles and thus strike at soldiers”.

Engineer Abu Sisi is not a war criminal or a terrorist. In my opinion he is one of the victims of Israel. Far more likely than him taking part in activities related to weapons is that he simply was abducted in order to hinder provision of electric energy to the Gaza strip, an act of collective punishment against the population of the Gaza strip. The real war criminals and terrorists are the mossad agents who kidnapped the engineer, drugged him, transported him to Tel Aviv and subjected him to all kind of torture to extract confessions in illegal and immoral ways. The affiliation of Abu Sissi to Hamas is not a crime which warrants putting him in prison. In 2006 more than half of Palestinians in the occupied territories, in the West Bank and Gaza voted for Hamas during the Legislative Council elections. This does not mean that those Palestinians belong to a terrorist organization and therefore should be arrested and imprisoned.

Abu Sisi strongly denied in court the Israeli allegation and charges of developing the missiles of Hamas. His denial came even after he was severely tortured at the hands of Israeli interrogators. In Israel there are thousands of Israeli engineers and war criminals who are working in the arms industry, and they develop advanced missiles and aircraft which are capable of destruction of the entire Middle East, not a tank!!

Furthermore, the Israelis war criminal experts developed more than 300 nuclear warheads at Dimona in “the Negev”, (al-Naqab). These missiles can kill millions of human beings in one second. Palestine suffers a significant risk of radiation because of Israel’s possession of nuclear reactors including the Dimona reactor, which has ended its useful life, and which will expose Palestine and the Palestinian people and neighboring countries to the serious dangers of radiation. Palestinian farmers from Yatta village south of Hebron in the West Bank have revealed that the Israeli military continues to bury nuclear waste in their farmlands at Al-Masafer near the armistice line in the West Bank.

Israel is a racist terrorist and zionist organization which occupies the Palestinian, Golan heights and Arab lands, and continues committing war crimes and aggression against the Arabs in Lebanon and the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Israel uses internationally prohibited weapons such as white phosphorus and cluster bombs, weighing tons. The sophisticated weapons of Israel are not comparable to the “advanced humble rockets” of Hamas that could be compared to the rockets used in the age of cavemen.

• So who deserves a trial and criminalization, the electrical engineer Abu Sisi who insists on his innocence, or the Israeli generals, the war criminals and terrorists who killed thousands of civilians by dropping sophisticated bombs?

It is unfortunate that the civilized world keeps silent on kidnapping Abu Sissi, who was visiting his brother in a state that considers itself an “independent, civilized State.” The kidnapping of people is not characteristic of civilized nations and States, but it is a characteristic of terrorist states that behave like the mafia.

Whatever justification the Ukrainian government gives for its “help” by allowing the Israeli Mossad to kidnap Abu Sisi and use its country to commit a terrorist crime, the government is involved in the terror crime itself, and the officials of Ukraine must be treated in accordance to the provisions of international law relating to the crimes of international terrorism.

Lesson of Terror & Organized Crime in Emirats: Last year, on January 20, 2010, the mossad assassinated Hamas member Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in the Al-Bustan Rotana hotel in Dubai, and the assassination put dirt on the names of several countries. It is known, but denied by the respective authorities, that the mossad operates freely in the EU and other western countries. The assassination of Mohmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai was not the first International crime which Mossad death squads committed by using the fake or stolen European passports.

The Israeli mossad has long history of desecrating the laws of many European countries, where they have committed many assassinations using fake passports, and sometimes real ones. About 350,000 Israelis have double citizenship and hold EU and Israeli passports at the same time. The zionists of Israel have received logistical support from all the European and Western countries in which the mossad death squads have committed their crimes in the past cases.

Lesson of Terror & Organized Crime in Austria: In the early nineties of the last century, on May 27, 1993, two elements of a mossad kidon unit (death squad) were killed in a motorcycle accident in Vienna while they were on a surveillance mission trailing the Iranian deputy minister of defense at that time, head of Iran’s “chemical warfare project”, Dr. Majid Abasfur, who was in Vienna carrying documents for an impending arms deal with an Israeli partner, Manbar, and a briefcase with money and documents about the missing Israeli air force pilot Ron Arad. The plan of the mossad death squad was to kill Dr. Abasfur, steal the documents and the money, and prevent the signing of the agreement for supplying Iran with tanks and chemical substances, which was supposed to be signed at the Vienna Marriot hotel that day.

Lesson of Terror and Organized Crime in New Zealand: On March 23, 2004, New Zealand authorities captured two Israeli intelligence agents, Uriel Kelman (Urie) and Eli Cara, for trying to obtain a New Zealand passport. On July 15, 2004, they were sentenced to six months and were sent to Mt Eden Prison. The prisoners completed one-third of their six-month sentence in jail, and then were released and deported to Israel in October 2004. Both Kelman and Cara were members of the israeli intelligence service Mossad.

Lesson of Organized Crime in Kosovo: the Council of Europe accused the prime minister of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci, of leading a group linked to organized crime and who is related to human rights violations and arms trafficking, as well as trafficking drugs and bodies. A number of Israelis who were involved in the group are wanted for international crimes in the trafficking of human organs.

Lesson of Terror & Organized Crime in Libya and Africa: Rafael “Rafram” Haddad, 35, is a spy agent from Efrat squatter colony in the West Bank. He is a yeshiva (an extremist religious school) student and resident of the Efrat squatter colony and a military police officer in the Israeli army. He was asked in 2009 by the Jewish Agency, the so called “Orr Shalom”, center to go to places where smaller Jewish communities had existed in Libya and which his predecessors (other Israeli spies) had been unable to reach. The jewish Agency had sent some weeks earlier a French citizen in the same mission in Libya.

Haddad was warned by the Libyan intelligence to stop filming and to leave Libya, but he was caught in the same place a week after he had been warned off. The French jew had been arrested some weeks before the arrest of Haddad. French President Nicolas Sarkozy intervened to release the French citizen. He was released about two weeks after Haddad was arrested, and he informed the family of the Israeli spy Haddad in the Efrat squatter colony about his arrest.

According to the Israeli Hebrew newspapers, another Israeli spy was also arrested in the same mission in northern Africa. It appeared in the newspapers that the “Or Shalom” zionist organization accused the israeli foreign ministry of having leaked the arrest of Haddad in northern Africa, but the foreign ministry said that the leak of this information had come from Haddad’s family.

There are multiple examples to demonstrate the involvement of Israel in international organized crimes and terror, and the questions are:

• Does the Israeli “state” stand at the forefront of International terrorism and organized crimes, leading and financing the abductions, political assassinations, sea piracy, trafficking human organs, arming gangs, death squads, mafia and drugs?

• Who is the next victim listed on the Israeli plan of abduction after Dr. Dirar Abu-Sisi, 42 years, the director of the Gaza power plant who was kidnapped on February 18, 2011, in Ukraine?
• Who is the next victim listed on the Mossad plan of assassination after the International terror assassination of Hamas leader, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh who was murdered on January 20, 2010, in the Al-Bustan Rotana hotel in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates?
• In which state will Israel implement its new crime of terror, and under which names and nationalities will they commit the crime after several European citizens were listed on the Interpol-issued arrest notices as wanted by Dubai for the killing Al-Mabhouh?
• Which is the next European country that will violate international law, allowing and helping mossad agents to commit a new terror crime and murder in their country?
• Which state will have its airspace violated by Israel in order to bomb innocent citizens after Khartoum where the Israeli airstrike carried out its terror operation? Killed two and terrorized how many?
• Which is the next State after the State of Georgia that Israel plans to bribe in order to withdraw a new government project that does not serve the interest of Israel, and how many millions or billions will they pay?
• Which countries are the next targets of Israel where the Israeli Mossad will implant their agents in order to carry out different organized crimes, terror, assassinations, and espionage after dismantling the Israeli Mossad network groups in Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan and Syria, the largest spy networks known in history?
• Does Israel take into account the results and consequences of its terror operations within the borders of other states where several decent Jewish communities live, and where the Israeli “tourists” and thieves spread like garbage?

Stop terminator-like killer robots now, says British scientist - Birmingham Mail - Technobabble

Stop terminator-like killer robots now, says British scientist

By Ben Hurst on Aug 3, 09 02:28 PM

A BRITISH boffin [British slang for Scientist] today called for urgent action on a global scale to curb the development of military killer robots that think for themselves.

"Terminator"-style machines that decide how, when and who to kill are just around the corner, warns Noel Sharkey, Professor of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics at the University of Sheffield.

"I do think there should be some international discussion and arms control on these weapons but there's absolutely none," said Prof Sharkey.

"The military have a strange view of artificial intelligence based on science fiction. The nub of it is that robots do not have the necessary discriminatory ability. They can't distinguish between combatants and civilians. It's hard enough for soldiers to do that."

Iraq and Afghanistan have both provided ideal "showcases" for robot weapons, said Prof Sharkey.

The "War on Terror" declared by President George Bush spurred on the development of pilotless drone aircraft deployed against insurgents.

Initially used for surveillance, drones such as the Predator and larger Reaper were now armed with bombs and missiles.

The US currently has 200 Predators and 30 Reapers and next year alone will be spending 5.5 billion dollars (£3.29 billion) on unmanned combat vehicles.

"The next thing that's coming, and this is what really scares me, are armed autonomous robots," said Prof Sharkey speaking to journalists in London. "The robot will do the killing itself. This will make decision making faster and allow one person to control many robots. A single soldier could initiate a large scale attack from the air and the ground.

"It could happen now; the technology's there."

Even with human controllers, drones were already stacking up large numbers of civilian casualties.

As a result of 60 known drone attacks in Pakistan between January 2006 and April 2009, 14 al Qaida [editor note - CIA assets] leaders had been killed but also 607 civilians, said Prof Sharkey.

In the wake of Terminator: Salvation, the potential threat of appalling films about the threat of future killer robots might need addressing too.
