Allen, I am convinced that part of the US scheme to maintain its occupation and control of Japan was the sneak attack on the great Toyota car company. The vicious aggression quickly arose—OMG, runaway Priuses are killing people!—and disappeared just as quickly, once the Pentagram had its way. Of course, it was always a coordinated farrago of lies and humiliation. Just another reason never to believe anything the state-media complex dishes out.

Conspiracy Theory: The U.S. Muscles Japan
Lew Rockwell has a fascinating theory behind the US harassment of Toyota. He writes at the LRC Blog:

This sort of political terrorism is very subversive. The DC terrorists even got a professor (from Michigan-;)) to publicly claim he reproduced the runaway problem...By *REWIRING* the accelerator pedal.
ReplyDeleteAnd didn't this idiotic propaganda attack come just after the USG took over Government Motors, oops, I mean General Motors?
ReplyDeleteLove it when he calls it the pentagram
ReplyDeleteanon 5:23, I was wondering the same thing at the time.
ReplyDeletedid Toyota ever get a refund of the fines it paid when under suspicion? Was it too afrsid to bring up the subject?
ReplyDeleteWhat about Ben Fulford's Japan conspiracy theory?
ReplyDeleteOther than poor copy editing, I generally find this blog quite readable and often valuable. But I must say the regular intrusion of wild conspiracy theories from one of the cloistered libertarians you so admire really gets in the way of my enjoyment. This particular theory doesn’t even rise to the level of the absurd.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of conspirators must there be down at the “pentagram” to allow Toyota to become the world’s largest automobile manufacturer in the first place? How is it that American Governors and Mayors and politicians of every stripe now shower Toyota executives with favors and flattery in hopes they will locate a Toyota factory in their respective towns and states? And who let Ford Motor Company only recently enter into an agreement with Toyota to jointly develop new technologies? Was it those all-seeing imperial wizards at the “pentagram” that decided to bring Toyota into NASCAR and expose the deficiencies of GM, Ford and Chrysler right here on American soil? If this is what the Japanese get for nearly 70 years of US “occupation” then I’m betting the biggest impediment to lifting that “occupation” can be found in Tokyo, not Washington, DC. You guys need to grow up and get out more. Spending your life as elevator snoops and intellectual voyeurs produces a reality deficit that manifests itself in paranoid delusions of this sort.

ReplyDeleteWhere to begin? Rockwell did not say that the pentagram or the fed gov't or any part thereof is all powerful pulling all the strings behind the scenes all the time. He was not commenting on the past success or trials and tribulations of the Toyota company. What he said was that in this particular instance, he believes that the pentagram may have been behind the attack on Toyota. If you think that the most powerful gov't in the history of the world does not at times have groups of people within who get together to further their own ends or groups who are prevailed upon to further someone else's ends, then I feel sorry for you. You not only are thoroughly ignorant of history, but also of human nature.
There is no doubt whatsoever that the circus about the Prius was a manufactured crisis to punish Toyota for some reason. Whether it was simply to benefit government motors or at the behest of the pentagram or both, I don't know. I do know that there was a growing movement in Japan to kick out the US troops, and that the USG disgustingly took over GM at the time. The dots are there. A child could draw the lines between them. How about you?
