Shinzo Abe and his chicken hawk compatriots in the LDP are scurrying around like squirrels searching for food in their efforts to change Japan's pacifistic Constitution so that it can be manned up. You know, so that members of the Japanese Self Defense Forces can die for Americas hegemonic foreign policy initiatives. All done at the behest of America's major corporations.
Japan’s conservative ruling party is gearing up for a new push to achieve its long-sought goal of revising the country’s U.S.-drafted post-World War II constitution. Its first challenge: winning over a divided public.
Liberal Democratic Party lawmakers and other supporters rallied Friday ahead of Sunday’s Constitution Day holiday, when Japan’s democratic and war-renouncing charter took effect 68 years ago.
The party, led by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, has resumed meetings of its constitution revision panel after a 2-year recess, and this week started distributing a cartoon pamphlet to raise public awareness and drum up support.
Backers of a revision denounce the 1947 constitution as one imposed by the United States, which occupied Japan from the end of World War II until 1952. They say it’s outdated and inadequate for today’s society.
