In the wake of a new anti-spying law, top nationalist politician Shintaro Ishihara is calling for Japan to go a step further and emulate Israel by “creating our own Mossad” (or “Section 9” as GitS fans have pointed out).
In recent public remarks, the 81-year-old ex-Tokyo mayor (his hand-picked successor’s political career is currently unravelling over a $500,000 loan he refuses to explain) and Ishin no Kai spokesman called media opposition to Japan’s new anti-spying law “groundless” and “part of their persecution complex.”
He also went further and proposed Japan solve its spying problems with its own Mossad:
“In addition to this law, shouldn’t we be considering the creation of an intelligence service like Israel’s Mossad? Despite Israel’s small size they do a fantastic job.”
Mossad is of course notorious for using a variety of highly illegal means to kidnap and assassinate those who it deems enemies of the Israeli state, irrespective of such trifles as national borders or international law – although to generally great success.
Another LDP-connected politician who fervently supports the bill recently caused similar controversy by likening those demonstrating against it to “terrorists.”
The new “anti-spying” law attaches a maximum 10 year sentence to those who part with classified information in areas of defence, diplomacy, espionage and counter-terrorism.
The law sets a massive 60-year limit on the duration of secrets but various exceptions are allowed perpetual secrecy.
This being Japan it is vague in its wording and is widely suspected to be the ideal way for politicians and civil servants to classify any and all details of their incompetence and corruption.
In particular, the mass media claims the 5 year sentence it mandates for attempting to “instigate” a leak is the ideal way for the government to intimidate them into not revealing embarrassing details.
Even amongst Japan’s fervently right-wing online masses, this is regarded as a bit much:
“Aren’t we making one already?”
“This old coot just needs to die already.”
“More pearls of wisdom from that crazed old rape novelist.”
“It’s ironic when this guy calls other people deluded…”
“He should have said MI6 rather than Mossad.”
“Mossad are the best, though it took 30 years to get there.”
“Surrounded by hostile countries, some with much bigger populations, is Japan so different to Israel?”
“Odd that he would pick Mossad. All we need is a proper intelligence section.”
“What is with this old fool. He could have just said the CIA or NSA but instead chooses Mossad of all the agencies…”
“Mossad assassinate way too many people…”
“Japan must be the only developed nation not to have one.”
“I agree with Ishihara! But it should be under the control of the Imperial household.”
“Who do you think will dictate their agenda? If it’s increasing the Keidanren’s profits we are in trouble.”
“Honestly I have my doubts about whether Japan’s agencies are not already assassinating people…”
“So in other words, Public Peace Section 9?”
“Wait, National INtelligence agency of JApan – abbreviation: NINJA.”

“Japan must be the only developed nation not to have one.”
Haha. This guy's so funny.
Typical ultra-nationalist old fuck. Trying to reason with such a conceited old retard would be no different from reasoning with a schizophrenic. There' no point, because they live in their own little world that doesn't exist on the same plane as us.
But Japs don't care. He's on the top caste of their society, so even if they don't agree, they'll just ignore. Like all other problems. Just close their ears, listen to Jpop and pretend shit goes away on its own. Ask the poor sods at TEPCO. Who gives a fuck if the Pacific Ocean is starting to pool with contaminated water eh? "命令は絶対です！" What about general election? "仕事あるんだよ…" "面倒くさい" Then they complain when the same old fucks they let get voted into government does shit like this, even though they knew beforehand it would turn out like this. Oh, and did I mention how it'll later dissolve into a NO U game of "俺の責任じゃない!" "他の奴はいるだろう!".
Harmony of the group my ass.
If Japan burns, it'll be by its own undoing, and I want to be able to witness it myself and tell them "TOLDJA" so bad, I can taste it.
I have a strong feeling that this anti-spy law thing is going to be used mostly to stop dead any piracy cells in and out of japan.
It will mostly be used to stop people from revealing when various government officials & workers are seen using the services of various JC's, JS's, & JK's. Tracking government personnel like that is clearly spying!
It'll be used to stop dead anyone who doesn't suck Abe's cock.
let's give Ishihara the "MOSSAD" treatment and see how he feels...
I was wondering whatever happened to Japans resident crazy person.
TRUST ME~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN
Glad this old geezer is not prime minister, or else Asia would be at war now.
He's only openly saying what many privately feel. He also seems to act like the political equivalent of a radio shock jock.
More like, what many old seniles privately feel.
You seem to think that Japanese hatred for China is just an "old man" thing; when in fact many young people in Japan hate Chinese and Korean influences and the fact that China and North Korea are always trying to intimidate Japan and steal its islands.
Even many of Japan's "liberal" or "leftist" political parties are very nationalistic in their ideology. There are some places in Japan where people hang signs outside their doors that say "No Chinese or Koreans allowed."
Japan is totally correct in this desire to counter Chinese aggression. The Chinese communist party is a terrible dragon that must be slain.
No he's playing on the BS jingoism rampant in Japan. They're worse than Americans when it comes to jingoism. Too much of Japan is caught up in this years Taiga drama rather than Japan's place in the world now.
How can anyone wonder why China doesn't trust Japan?
“Surrounded by hostile countries, some with much bigger populations, is Japan so different to Israel?”
Once again, obvious stupidity and amusing impudence of these japs raises its little head :)
How could these soft fucks in an island who are barely out numbered 14 to 1, wielding economic influence made possible my US post-war favorable trade tariffs and priority assistance to generate a model of capitalism in the far east, possibly comprehend the struggles and efforts of a nation whose people endured almost 2000 years of exile, in a tribe that was enslaved and destroyed continuously since beginning of early human history?
Not to mention barely 7 million loyal Israelite men, women, and children are facing combined 422 million hostile muslim arab populations in the arab world alone, not to mention additional muslim extremists in various other places, which comfortably places Israel's situation in 1 to 100 position. Did we also mention they share direct land borders with multiple nations that outsize them by a literal hundred fold and make daily scapegoat out of Israel? (smoke that sweet opium to forget how badly they screwed themselves over)
This is like that time when japs compared their 'tribulations' to demonstrating Turks. I had no shortage of turkish people who busted out laughing at how infantile they found japanese to be making such a statement.
And fuck that chicken hawk ishihara. That bitch have never even been in a battle never mind a war but thinks he can mouth off about how other country's military will perform in an actual war. The fuck are these mouthing off about?
LAWL
Stop using your manga bible stories as proof of anything.
Archeology. Study it.
How about you stop reading that bitch pedophile 'prophet' story on toilet papers to justify your mouthy attitude?
Bunnies!
Archeology doesnt say you were on exile, archeology says there were some people there just like there were other people there.
And by the way, Jews have ALWAYS LIVED THERE.
There wasnt one period of time where they werent jews there just like everyone else.
Stop arguing with the troll. You can't win an argument against against someone who doesn't care about the point he is making.
Japan isn't trying to comprehend anything. They're just saying that they are surrounded by people who don't like them and they want an organization of their own who can secretly go in and "get them before they get us." The thing is, of course, is that unlike Isreal, Japan's "enemies" aren't refusing to recognize them as a sovereign state, firing missiles at them from across the border, or sending in terrorists to bomb the citizenry. Instead, the attacks come in the form of sly political commentary & innuendo, sabre rattling & economic tom-foolery. No amount of anti-spy anything will likely ever stop that.
First of all, they can't even get their own citizens (yakuza) never mind others.
Secondly, the war against japs are already underway with Triads and Koreans taking the lead to fuck their women to pieces.
Fitting end.
I'm surrounded by people who don't like me. It'd be nice to have my own secret organization who can go in and "get them before they get me".
your terrorist country just killed today a new enemy 15 year old boy playing football in the street there was no shooting of any kind they just killed him him for no reason from one of thire trash setelments your terrorist country of isreal would go down sooner or later
"amusing impudence of these japs raises its little head" you seem mad, please don't kill your parents
He's just pissed off because he can't raise HIS "little head". :)
As if japs would know how to use such an organization if they had one. LOL
Even the organizations during ww2 were a joke - japanese 'intelligence' were so easy to fool that US who was an amateur at the intelligence game fooled them throughout the ENTIRE WAR.
National INtelligence agency of JApan – abbreviation: NINJA
TRULY EPIC JAPAN GO!
All members MUST wear headbands.
And orange track suits.
BELIEVE IT !
Nope, only the most annoying one.
They also have to want to be the King of Pirates.
Headbands + Orange Tracksuits = Naruto Cosplay.
Wow really? Thanks for explaining the joke, that makes it so much funnier.
/sarcasm
yeah, you're idiot
Additionally, masks are mandatory under section ANBU.
Close enough it is.
you sir deserve a medal
I supposed membership eligibility includes the ability to use Chakra properly?
First they're building their armed forces with their secret GUNDAMS....and now they're gonna get a NINJA Intelligence Agency. Unstoppable! Then fuse the two together to make NINJA GUNDAMS! >.>
We don't want people to see we are bad at what we do so go to jail
FUCK OFF AND DIE!
Japan needs a pair of testicles first.
Nice.
Maybe ishithara will try to fill that department with gayboy patriot wannabes faggots like his past boyfrie - i mean 'friend' yukio mishima.
I supposed you can't expect spineless japs to take care of this useless piece of shit.
if only they had the idea and the funds of building Tachikoma but then again,U.S. will steal it and China will build a fake prototype.Same goes for building a Gundam.
LOL why does US need to 'steal' anything from japs? If only to know what NOT to do maybe.
There ain't anything worth stealing in japan. Only reason their economic success got there is because of indirect US economic, political and diplomatic trade assistance, along with incredibly corrupt economic-political structure that was also buttressed by US interests.
Japs have always stolen from US, including built up automotive innovations and funds from 1960s on due to limit of past US domestic market and globalization interests that sought to expand their ways to far east. Japs only tagged on the band wagon and benefited from US given economic greenhouse that evaporated in 1990.
All jap 'innovations' have their origin in something they learned from the rest of the world. Walkman concept was decidedly imitated from a european one, for example.
Without the U.S. Japan would never have anime, Japan stole that, technically.
Exactly. Now watch as some jap tries to connect the slimmest tangents between pre-foreign contact 'arts' with modern jap animation.
Without Japan, you basement dwellers wouldn't have your pedo 2d porn to console your 2 inch peeners.
20:27 I know. Those poor asian kids.
Without the U.S. stuff would've eventually have been created elsewhere.
The U.S. has a long history of plagiarism as well, dating back to its creation. Everyone steals from everyone.
And yet, you are here visiting a site about anime.. Japan did a better job delivering better cartoon than US, so..
WE need the Jaspanese people, yes. And they need us. Once we start learning from each other both took off and did better than they ever did on their own. Miyazaki and all those others as kids liked Disney cartoons and you can see the influences but also look at how now the whole world is learning from them. Despite a lot of stupid prattle on this side of the ocean the truth is that Honda and all those others make damn fine motorcycles and cars and a whoe lot else worth being proud of. We helped after the war but the Japanese man and woman on the streets and in the factories did the work. Same here. We need each other Enough sniping at each other. I live near a big University here in the South and we have a lot of students from China, Japan, and all over the world and dammit - it is wonderful! Just we can't let the leaders here or there ruin it for them and the kids to come after them. Japan I read is having a tough time what with the economy, Fukushima and we have ours as well and all this talk of weapons and borders and spys just takes resources away from the real problems
We don't "steal" their women?
The US has a long history of attacking other countries to steal their resources for "freedom" and "democracy", so it's not like the US can talk either.
Bottom line is that everyone copies from each other, and resources are not infinite. You can't have "rich" people without "poor" people.
Right. We are stealing all the oil from middle east (barely 20% of imported US oil, and barely 10% of total oil consumption) by paying market price of nearly 100 dollars per bbl, nearly 80 billion dollars a year to middle east countries around persian gulf.
Enough of these lies about how US is trying to 'steal' oil while paying billions of dollars in investments to build and maintain those oilfields, providing all that tax revenues to host nations on top of the payment for the oils. Not to mention the employment for their technicians and workers.
Primary US concern is stability of the region so that world oil supply through that region, which accounts for almost 80% of oil imports in japan (which is to say 100% of their oil source) and other allies are not disrupted.
The whole 'US stealing oil' is nothing but buzzword lies that people who can't be bothered to do proper research on the topic hoping to find scapegoat to blame for their own impotence that prevented their own shit from spilling out of their borders.
LOL! stability of the region to STEAL RARE MINERALS!
You people need to catch up.
Judging from that robot that fell over at Fukushima, any real life Tachikoma won't be climbing stairs any time soon.
