Hi Blog. \u00a0The police and coast patrollers are out in force again in Ibaraki Prefecture, warning the public to be vigilant against “illegal entrants” (as in people who enter the country surreptitiously) and “illegal laborers”. \u00a0Again, the title, “STOP THEM AT THE SHORES AND PROTECT”.<\/p>\n

Found on the wall at Tomobe Station in Mito, Ibaraki on Friday, October 24th, 2008. \u00a0Comment follows.<\/p>\n

Er, I dunno why Ibaraki Prefecture feels the need to do this. \u00a0Again. \u00a0It’s certainly not the prefecture with the longest coastline in Japan, nor does it have a huge number of NJ residents or entrants, compared to Tokyo, Gifu, Shizuoka, or Aichi (whose police have not used the same degree of “coastal invader” alarmism).\u00a0<\/p>\n

And you just gotta love the image of not only our subduing boys in blue armed with machine guns (I’m no expert in firepower, but that looks like an automatic weapon to me on his back), but also a military force in green at the bottom left disembarking from a transport like it’s D-Day. \u00a0<\/p>\n

This is, alas, not the first time Ibaraki Prefectural police have resorted to this rubric, or these kinds of posters. \u00a0See last year’s version immediately following (more details on that here<\/a>), although back then they were less armed and militarized. \u00a0I guess the NJ invasion of Ibaraki Prefecture is proceeding apace. \u00a0<\/p>\n

As always, your taxes at work. \u00a0Including those of the NJ being portrayed. \u00a0Arudou Debito in Sapporo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
