集所有力量，试图以政治和法律手段拆除。
这个塑像的意义非凡，没记错的话，是美国第一个此类塑像，而这个塑像一出，之后的
效应就来了。
湾区也在暗地里做同样的事情，同时湾区也在筹建抗战纪念馆。之后会向大家做跟进汇

湾区是个更激烈的战场，老一代保钓人士，好多都在湾区定居，都70岁左右了。有机会
，如果大家感兴趣，我们可以做个讲座，请他们讲讲很多不为人知的故事。同时湾区的
日本右翼也很活跃。地下的斗争暗涌。但是CMAIN筹建的张纯如塑像，终究会有一天落
实的。

Firm shies from comfort-women statue lawsuit
Plaintiffs must swap attorneys in case against comfort-women memorial.

Despite filing court documents this week opposing Glendale’s request to
dismiss a federal lawsuit calling for the removal of a city statue honoring
women used as sex slaves by the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II,
the law firm representing those opposed to the memorial has resigned.
The change comes after Mayer Brown, considered a top 20 global law firm, was
criticized by several in the legal industry for taking on the case in the
first place since the plight of the former sex slaves, known as comfort
women, has been recognized by international historians and government
officials in Japan and the United States.
The firm asked to step down as top management became concerned about being
seen as a corporate entity that denies the history of sexual enslavement,
according to the website of GAHT-US Corp., a nonprofit group and one of the
three opponents that filed the lawsuit.
The other two opponents were Koichi Mera, a Los Angeles resident and founder
of GAHT-US Corp. and Michiko Gingery, a Glendale resident.
In separating from the case, Mayer Brown has agreed to reimburse the
plaintiff’s fees and find a replacement, according to the website statement
, which was translated from Japanese. GAHT-US Corp. officials also wrote
they are confident the attorney swap will not impact the case and asked
supporters not to worry.
On Tuesday, the day after Mayer Brown filed its opposition papers, U.S.
District Judge Percy Adams approved a substitute attorney for the plaintiffs
Bob Harris, spokesman for Mayer Brown, confirmed in an email that the law
firm requested to be removed from the case with their client’s consent, but
declined to comment further.
Mayer Brown attorneys have argued in court documents that the comfort-women
statue, installed in Central Park in July, challenges the federal government
’s power to conduct foreign affairs and set the supreme law of the land.
The City Council approved the statue in order to honor the estimated 80,000
to 200,000 women from Korea, China and other countries who were forced to
work as prostitutes in military brothels against their will. But it has
whipped up controversy as several conservative Japanese politicians deny the
military’s involvement in the comfort-women system of the time.
Glendale attorneys, who are working pro bono on behalf of the city, asked
the judge to dismiss the lawsuit, filed in February, because Glendale’s
right to free speech should protect the 1,100-pound monument, which features
a young woman in Korean garb sitting next to an empty chair.
However, in its latest filing, Mayer Brown attorneys disagree.
“When the council permitted the emplacement of the monument, it did so as
the Glendale City Council, not as individual council members,” according to
court records. “The First Amendment does not apply to that decision.”
Mayer Brown attorneys also stated the lawsuit does not seek to challenge
historical record, although their clients, the statue opponents, have been
doing so for months. | a***e

不过也不是所有的日侨都是日本侵略史denier。
希望大家不要对日侨日裔有存见。
日本侵略史denier在日本有很强的
constituency(I'll explain here),
在美国尚待研究。
2011年Fukushima Earthquake was a deeply
scarring disaster for Japanese psyche.
Like 1922 Tokyo Earthquake, it ushered
in a new era of wounded national pride,
deep sense of insecurity, and
the worst of all, right-wing militarism.
This awakened right-wing militarism shows
in their exaggerated fear of China's "threat"
and attempt to once again manipulate
America and other countries allied with America
into positions threatening China, hopefully
to even start a war against China.
The Japanese public has the idea that China
is out to get them for the 20 million plus
civilians murdered by their "honorable"
grandfathers. Who could blame them for
feeling guilty and neurotic?
The Chinese may have no such intention, but the
Japanese right wing would not hear of that,
they are more interested in getting revenge
on both China and the US for stopping their
"honorable" grandfathers's glorious "march
across Asia" 70 years ago.
天谴的节奏是啥呀？ 这就是天谴的节奏.
I'd like to hear a "March of Guilty Conscience"
or "Wrath of Furies", or "Woe is Me! Symphony" from the truly
great Japanese composers. Until then,
this is an interesting story to read and
ponder. Remember that the NHK is tightly linked with
Abe's right wing, Hiroshima = "Woe is poor little me!",
Fukushima = "Everyone, who half knows us, hates our guts",
Then you understand why the 40 years old "little" boy
genius is so petulant and a bully and a faker:

但作为一个不直接相关的国家，美国人是怎么看待在他们国家建这些？
是不是在别的国家也要建？

发帖数: 18403 | 14 中美在二战是战友关系。 现在日本印度在疯狂散布“
中国威胁论”。 纪念二战实际上就是纪念和加固中美
友谊,防止／逆转日印“中国威胁论”掌握美国国防外交
的主流。
其实我们已经有点晚了， 因为美国国防外交的主流
已经被日印掌握了。 不过亡羊补牢，补之未晚。
After the raid, the Japanese Imperial Army conducted a massive sweep through
the eastern coastal provinces of China, in an operation now known as the
Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign, searching for the surviving American airmen and
applying retribution on the Chinese who aided them, in an effort to prevent
this part of China from being used again for an attack on Japan. An
estimated 250,000 Chinese civilians were killed by the Japanese during this
operation.[3][4]

This fact, Ro said, will only exacerbate current income inequality as well
as endanger American competitiveness globally. “China has a billion people,
” he said. “We don’t have a person to waste in this country.”
