 Recent News from TokyoProgressive & Other Sites

We are always in need of more stories and activism reports from Japan and 
Asia, so please use the Self Publishing facility or email. Or most recent 
stories are listed here by date. There MAY be some stories here that are 
newer than those reported below. 

LEAD STORY: Anti-SDF dispatch demo in Tokyo

Thousands demonstrated in the streets on Saturday, Jan. 25 to protest the 
illegal and immoral dispatch of SDF soldiers to Iraq. However, the media only 
confined itself to reporting this fact and, to date, has avoided reporting 
the reasons why we are opposed to sending the Japanese military. You can find 
these reasons on websites like this or IndyMedia Japan, but what access does 
the average person have to alternative news analysis? As my media students 
have correctly noted, the Kisha club system in Japan binds news organistions 
to official news sources. In the U.S., there is no Kisha club system, but a 
corporate media aligned with the rightist views of U.S. elites keeps what is 
really happening from their news "consumers". Go to website of organizer (not 
affiliated with TP)

IMPORTANT:While IndyMedia Japan is down for new news reasons, pease send your 
reports on the January 25 protests (and other events all around Japan) as 
well as photos. Sound and video are also possible (if we get our settings 
correct). We will try to include as many as possible. Send to 
paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  and include as much detail as possible. Subject 
should be SDF PROTESTS to help us find them quickly.
