Security Bill or War Bill? Two crazy days of Japan. (2)

Since I keep finding additional information about those two days, I am writing some more posts about it.
First, I would like to write about the newspaper picture of today, September 19, 2015.
　

You can find the same picture on the internet news site too:

What do you see in the picture?

The mustache guy, Masahisa Sato (LDP, Liberal Democratic Party) in the middle of the picture, is punching the guy, Hiroyuki Konishi (DPJ, Democratic Party of Japan,) right?

Well, that's not actually what had happened there.

This is what had happened.

Now, what did you see?

Because Konish jumped on the guy, Sato was "pushing" Konishi away with his right fist.

Those old folks, who do not or cannot use the internet, only see that Sato punched Konishi from TV and newspapers.

I can say the same thing is happening for the people from English spoken countries.

Their English medias are too lazy to find out what are really happening in Japan; all they do is the translation of the news from the Japanese medias that are full of propaganda.

So, when you read/watch the news about Japan, please think those are most likely one-sided or even totally opposite of what really had happened.

Don't Drive and INGRESS

INGRESS is an interesting smartphone game and I have been playing months now. What is INGRESS? Here's a wiki. Ingress (game) via Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingress_(game) Players have to move around their towns for this game, so some players walk, another players use their bikes, and others drive. But you have to be very careful when you play this game and drive your car at the same time. When you get caught by watching smartphone while your are driving, you will get 1 penalty point on your driver's license and also the ticket cost you 6,000 yen. How do I know about it?

[PolitiC@Nippon] Ryukougo Taisho 2016: Japan’s Most Vogue Words of the Year

Ryukougo Taisho is one of the unique events of Japan. In the end of the year, they choose the buzzing words that everyone is using them in common during the year from TV shows, dramas, news, so on. (Sometime, it's not really used in common, but they pick those words anyway.) Last year, they chose some words from from politic, such as Abe Seiji wo Yurasanai (or "We won't tolerate Abe's politics") SEALDs, the "youth (well, there are some young folks but mostly old folks in their 60s and 70s) group" going against to Abe's politics) and so on.

I got banned from facebook AGAIN for a week.

Facebook banned me of posting and sharing on timeline, sending messages, and like button for any post for a week. Right now, what I can do on facebook is only to login. 　　　　　 I asked what I did wrong to get banned to the help desk, but they have not replied me anything yet. 　 What I did right before I had got banned was re-activating one of my pages about discussing the differences between the facts and the fake news on fake medias. 　　 Well, these are my new pages: Please give your "like" on my pages. You will be receiving tons of update (since those pages are updated by bots) from the pages, but you can hide them too.
