this is james corbett of corbettreport com and this is james evan pilato of mediamonarchy com and we both welcome you back to another jam packed episode of the new world next week which of course you can find on newworldnextweek com and as we announced to you last week thanks to the folks  paradigmshift tv if you are in europe you can now catch this show thanks to the sky satellite so james without further ado let's get to this week's stories and our first story goes straight to your backyard sydney morning herald cablegate shows japan set up secret intel unit to spy on china for the first time since world war ii japan is establishing a secret foreign intelligence service to spy on china and north korea and gather information to prevent terrorist attacks the spy unit has been created under the wing of japan's peak intelligence agency the cabinet intelligence and research office or naicho it is modeled on western intelligence services such as the cia the australian secret intelligence service and britain's mi the existence of the new japanese espionage capability is revealed in a leaked us diplomatic cable obtained by wikileaks and provided exclusively to the sydney morning herald japanese military and naval intelligence together with the infamous secret police the kempeitai ran extensive spy networks throughout east and south east asia up to the end of world war ii successive postwar governments in tokyo have been reluctant to establish a foreign espionage service for fear of diplomatic risks tokyo's need for intelligence collection to complement its signals and technical intelligence capabilities was supported by candid admissions to american counterparts about the lack of information on north korea's secretive leadership now if we jump down to the very last paragraph of this article it notes that naicho head also confessed that japan's best insights into mr kim jong il came not from a secret source but from his japanese former sushi chef who had published a memoir james well an interesting story indeed and certainly interesting in the light of the recent re militarization of japan that's been going on quietly and sort of informally over the last several years and just sort of introducing it to the japanese public here but i think this story is interesting for what it shows but also i think we have to be nave to believe the japanese haven't been doing conducting this type of surveillance and spying over the years even without the formal creation of an office or an intelligence bureau per se and i think there's a wealth recently i was watching or listening to an excellent interview with sterling seagrave on black op radio and i'll have to listen to it a few more times because it is just jam packed with information but basically he was just going over the history of how the japanese imperial family was using japanese secret societies in korea and in manchuria to conduct surveillance and intelligence operations and to loot the gold which was looted from various southeast asian countries over the fifty year period of imperial japan aggression and then was stored in the philippines and where that gold went and how it was perhaps pilfer off by the us and all very interesting story but it sort of shows how i think there's a lot of the ways in which the japanese government is there for show and what really happened on the surface of the secret societies and the imperial family and of course the japanese mafia which famously has an understanding with the japanese police and so there's a lot going on underneath the surface of this type of story but at any rate it's uh it's very interesting to hear about the open creation of  japanese version of the cia and we have to watch out for that because of course we know what the cia has been up to around the world over the years mm hmm as we will see further in just a few moments so we will provide a link to that interview with seagrave in the show notes for this episode and we'll also mention that within this sydney morning herald article it notes that this cable goes back to two thousand and eight so here we are in two thousand and eleven so chances are if they were going to set something up it has been set up and is most likely operational james as a sort of sidebar to this since we're discussing your backyard in japan i'll make a brief note about my backyard here in portland oregon where we just learned yesterday that they've now delayed the decision of whether or not portland is going to rejoin the fbi's joint terrorism task force this all coming in the wake of mohammed the portland treebomber patsy set up and funded and trained by the fbi so we see these things that again it comes out years after the fact sometimes and it's just another notch it's just another confirmation of things that we generally have already been aware of unfortunately so before i digress too much  twenty one the man arrested in pakistan for killing two men in lahore has turned out to be employed by the cia after conducting interviews in the u s and pakistan the british newspaper the guardian concluded that raymond davis was a former army special forces soldier now employed by the cia one senior pakistani intel official was quoted as saying it's beyond a shadow of a doubt that davis was working for the spy agency at the time he gunned down two pakistanis following the guardian story u s officials admitted davis was a security contractor working for the cia like other american news outlets the new york times initially sat on the story of davis working for the cia after the administration asked that the information not be released while he was still in pakistani custody u s officials argued the revelation could put davis life at risk but of course once the guardian published its story and the cia lifted its requested hold the times produced its own account which described davis as being part of a covert cia led team collecting intelligence and conducting surveillance on militant groups deep inside the country davis has been charged with murder by pakistani police he shot the two men allegedly for trying to rob him while he was driving through lahore local authorities say the american was found to be carrying a glock handgun a flashlight attached to a headband a pocket telescope three cell phones facial disguises and multiple id cards he is reported to have worked for years for as a mercenary for the cia including a period with xe the private security contractor formerly known as blackwater many pakistanis have been enraged by the news of an armed american gunning down local citizens if the u s convinces the pakistan government to turn davis over to american authorities egyptian style anti government protests could erupt analysts say the government has said it will wait until march fourteen to decide what to do with davis and james before i throw it back to you we'll throw in a couple of updates as the story has grown and grown over these last few days from redacted news two cia contractor's spirited out of pakistan these would be two of the compadres as it were to raymond davis who managed to escape being arrested and just today danger room put up an article called cia's spy sparks conspiracy palooza and this is a reference to the questionable article coming from the eu times cia spy davis was giving nuclear bomb material to al qaeda james yes well questionable indeed considering the source but again who knows what's really going on in the surface here but i think people who have been following pakistan for any length of time will know that the idea that the cia is deeply rooted in the country is not a particular surprise especially since the cia founded funded established the pakistani version of its of itself the isi and was using that in afghanistan in the s as the conduit for funneling funds and all of that sort of thing that people probably know by now but at any rate yes it's an interesting story but i think it's one of those stories where we'll have to really wait to see how it unfolds for it on the geopolitical scale to find out what was really happening here because i think either this will be used as a point of tension to try to create more destabilization in the region and perhaps move the current wave of protests and riots and things over to pakistan or it could be something that genuinely the cia and the us would like to cover up in which case it'll be swept under the rug and we won't hear much about it again so i think we won't know for sure what this is  until we start to see how it plays out but it is interesting nonetheless if not surprising so for our third and final story this week james when i saw the news it kind of surprised me because i guess i just thought that the election was going to happen this november but no lo and behold this past tuesday rahm emanuel elected chicago's first jewish mayor and will take this program plan off from israelnationalnews  former obama white house chief of staff rahm emanuel has been elected chicago's first jewish mayor he faces a series of challenges beginning with the fact that his last name is not daley his predecessor richard m daley and his father richard j daley have controlled the city of nearly three million people for forty two of the past fifty five years the current economic crisis in the united states has affected the midwestern city as it has others leading to an estimated budget deficit of some six hundred dollars million nevertheless emanu popularity may stand him in good stead at least initially the fifty one year old former congressman won fifty five per cent of the vote in a field of six candidates thus ending the need for a run off in april gery j chico former chief of staff to inc mayor richard m daley his closest competitor garnered less than half with only twenty four percent emanuel is known as a tough pragmatist and for his blunt manner of speaking during his tenure as chief of staff in the obama white house he told an israeli diplomat that the united states  s fed up with israel less than a year later however as he considered a run in the chicago mayoral race he told rabbis that the obama administration had screwed up the messaging and failed to convey its support for the jewish state the man commonly referred to as president barack obama called tuesday night to congratulate emanuel saying as a chicagoan and a friend i couldn't be prouder james hey james do you hear that i think it's the sound of a victory celebration at man's country yes well for people who don't get that reference perhaps they can refer back to my recent podcast episode on meet rahm emanuel but suffice it to say that this is an extremely worrying turn of events and i genuinely i truly mean this when i say i  really worrying turn of events but hey uh james maybe you can remind me what's the name of the new chief of staff at the white house i think his last name is daley oh that's right he's the brother of the now former mayor of chicago and james this goes right to the heart of chicagoland of gangster land and i'll flash this quickly barack h obama the unauthorized biography from webster tarpley really gets into the heart of the chicago machine and tony auchi and valerie jarrett and the chicago annenberg challenge and bill ayers and bernardine dohrn and all of these things that again james as you said we're hopeful and we'll pray for the people of chicago and good lord larry silverstein and owns the sears tower and just bad news unfortunately so i mean uh things are lining up in chicago in a similar way that they were just prior to in
