Hi Blog. \u00a0I find it pretty amazing how myths persist. The media helps. Not only do we have “Darling wa Gaikokujin” cartoon character slash “Writer”\u00a0Tony Laszlo appearing as himself (in one of the most frightening photos I’ve ever seen of him) in the “Money” Section of the Asahi (May 17, 2008), he still has the byline of “Administrator of NGO ISSHO Kikaku”.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That’s odd for a number of reasons, but we’ll stick to the facts, that a) ISSHO Kikaku’s website (www.issho.org), containing years of work by other NJ activists, has been offline for 2 1\/2 years, and has even recently mutated to plain gibberish (today’s download):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and then b) there is NO NGO registered as “ISSHO Kikaku”<\/strong><\/span> at websites recording NGOs registered in Japan. \u00a0I guess the reporter didn’t fact check before publication.<\/p>\n

Never mind. \u00a0He’s being portrayed as a doting father. \u00a0Good, but that’s neither “Money” nor news. \u00a0And it may be the only thing factual in this Asahi article. \u00a0See it after the next paragraph.<\/p>\n

Why do I have it in for this guy? \u00a0Because he’s a person who erases the historical record of NJ “Newcomers” in Japan<\/a>, and threatens to sue people who want to maintain it<\/a>. \u00a0Start here for substantiation<\/a>. \u00a0More on the Debito.org Blog about this character here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I find it pretty amazing how myths persist. The media helps.

Even though there is no ISSHO Kikaku website, or even any NGO registered under that name in Japan.<\/p>\n

And miraculously, the Issho Kikaku website, offline since December 2005, made a reappearance the very same day this blog entry went up, albeit only a cover page, with no further links to all the years of work done by other activists working under the “Issho” banner… <\/p>\n

We won’t mention the threat of lawsuit from him for keeping the record alive… but how very “un-Darling” of him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ironies-hypocrisies","category-isshoorgtony-laszlo"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.debito.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1686","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.debito.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.debito.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.debito.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.debito.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1686"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.debito.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1686\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.debito.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.debito.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.debito.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
