Fullford needs to learn how to use Google or Wikipedia, then he wouldn't get his historical references backwards...

Black Dragon Society
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the fictional version, see Black Dragon Society (comics).

The Black Dragon Society (Kyūjitai; 黑龍會; Shinjitai: 黒龍会, kokuryūkai?) was a prominent paramilitary, ultra-nationalist right-wing group in Japan.

History

Ryohei Uchida, founder of the Black Dragon SocietyThe Kokuryūkai was founded in 1901 by Uchida Ryohei, and was descended from the Genyōsha. (Uchida was a follower of Genyōsha founder Mitsuru Toyama.) Its name is derived from the Amur River, called Heilongjiang or "Black Dragon River" in Chinese (黑龍江?), read as Kokuryū-kō in Japanese. Its public goal was to support efforts to drive the Russian Empire out of east Asia, south of the Amur River.

The Kokuryūkai initially made strenuous efforts to distance itself from the criminal elements of its predecessor, the Genyōsha. As a result, its membership included Cabinet Ministers and high-ranking military officers as well as professional secret agents. However, as time passed, it found the use of criminal activities to be a convenient 'means to an end' for many of its operations.

The Society published a journal, and operated an espionage training school, from which it dispatched agents to gather intelligence on Russian activities in Russia, Manchuria, Korea and China. It also pressured Japanese politicians to adopt a strong foreign policy. The Kokuryukai also supported Pan-Asianism, and lent financial support to revolutionaries such as Sun Yat-sen, and Emilio Aguinaldo.

During the Russo-Japanese War, annexation of Korea and Siberian Intervention, the Imperial Japanese Army made use of the Kokuryūkai network for espionage, sabotage and assassination. They organized Manchurian guerrillas against the Russians from the Chinese warlords and bandit chieftains in the region, the most important being Marshal Chang Tso-lin. The Black Dragons waged a very successful psychological warfare campaign in conjunction with the Japanese military, spreading disinformation and propaganda throughout the region. They also acted as interpreters for the Japanese army.

The Kokuryūkai assisted the Japanese spy, Colonel Motojiro Akashi. Akashi, who was not directly a member of the Black Dragons, ran successful operations in China, Manchuria, Siberia and established contacts throughout the Muslim world. These contacts in Central Asia were maintained through World War II. The Black Dragons also formed close contact and even alliances with Buddhist sects throughout Asia.

During the 1920s and 1930s, the Kokuryūkai evolved into more of a mainstream political organization, and publicly attacked liberal and leftist thought. Although it never had more than several dozen members at any one time during this period, the close ties of its membership to leading members of the government, military and powerful business leaders gave it a power and influence far greater than most other ultranationalist groups.

Initially directed only against Russia, in the 1930s, the Kokuryūkai expanded its activities around the world, and stationed agents in such diverse places as Ethiopia, Turkey, Morocco, throughout southeast Asia and South America, as well as Europe and the United States.

[edit] The Black Dragon Society and the Internment of Japanese-Americans
The Kokuryūkai was sensationalized by the yellow press and by American wartime propaganda, largely due to its villainous-sounding name of “Black Dragon Society”. Lurid novels and short stories connected it with all manner of nefarious criminal activity, and local government authorities in the United States found it convenient to use its supposed existence as an underground “fifth column” among Americans of Japanese descent as one of the excuses for the Japanese-American Internment during World War II.

The organization was mentioned as an influence on the black nationalist organizations which were convicted of sedition in 1942, most notably Mittie Maud Lena Gordon's Peace Movement for Ethiopia. The other two organizations said to be influenced were the Brotherhood of Liberty for the Black People of America and the Nation of Islam.[1]

On 27 March 1942, FBI agents arrested members of the Black Dragon Society in the San Joaquin Valley of California.[2]

The Kokuryūkai was officially disbanded by order of the American Occupation authorities in 1946. According to Brian Daizen Victoria's book, Zen War Stories, the Black Dragon Society was reconstituted in 1961 as the Black Dragon Club (Kokuryū-Kurabu.) The Club never had more than 150 members to succeed in the goals of the former Black Dragon Society.[3]

[edit] Fictional references
The Black Dragon Society appeared as villains in two Sam Katzman 1942 Monogram Pictures releases Black Dragons and Let's Get Tough! as well as a Republic Pictures film serial G-Men vs the Black Dragon that was turned into a Century 66 made for TV movie The Black Dragon of Manzanar. The Black Dragons also appeared as villains in 1942 American comic books.

In Max Brooks' book The Zombie Survival Guide (published in 2003 by Three Rivers Press), the Black Dragons are portrayed as a unit of the WWII Japanese military. He asserts that this group was responsible for attempting to create zombie warriors in an operation known as Cherry Blossom.

They also appear as henchmen to the villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld in the James Bond novel You Only Live Twice.

The Black Dragon Society appears in the Thomas Pynchon novel Against the Day.

In the fictional Battletech universe the Black Dragon Society comes out as a Draconis Combine extremist group.

As for Toyama Mitsuru (known to his friends as "Toy")

Toyama Mitsuru (頭山 満?, 27 May 1855 - 5 October 1944) was a right-wing political leader in early 20th century Japan and founder of the Genyosha nationalist secret society.
Tōyama was born to a poor samurai family in Fukuoka City in Kyushu. In his youth, he fought in the Saga Rebellion of 1874.

In 1881, Toyama became one of the founders of the Genyosha, a secret society and terrorist organization whose agenda was to agitate for Japanese military expansion and conquest of the Asian continent. The society attracted disaffected ex-samurai, and also figures in involved in organized crime to assist in its campaigns of violence and assassination against foreigners and liberal politicians. In 1889, Toyama and the Genyosha were implicated in the attempted assassination of foreign minister Ikuma Shigenobu.

So, he formed the Black Dragon Society in 1881 to combat Nazism and Hitler 8 years before Hitler was born! Was this guy smart or what?

Maybe there is a way to get the deliveries accomplished!

HELLO CENTRAL--MAYBE THERE IS A WAY TO GET THE DELIVERIES ACCOMPLISHED!

After reading about The Black Dragon Society, it would appear that asking them to make the deliveries would be the perfect solution to finally getting this mission accomplished. Perhaps Fulford could ask them to do it, and they just might accept the assignment. From what I have read about them, they certainly can\'t be intimidated, or threatened...Obama would be a fool to do so. And, they do know that Obama is broke, so they surely can\'t be bribed. It appears that they want the NWO defeated just as much as the Four Winds readers do, so hopefully Fulford can convince them to do so...and then no bloodshed, and the world is FREE AT LAST! GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY, FREE AT LAST! What do you think about this proposition?

Thanks so much again for all you do for humanity.

Dear BD:

Thank you for the suggestion. It is my understanding that the Black Dragon Society has been involved for some time with the change to Goodness in both our nation and our world. They are already deeply involved on many fronts, and for that we thank them.

The Divine Plan is slowly moving to completion on Shan, but for many of us it seems that Creator God is always a little bit late with the fulfillment of "The Plan". Yes, the Light wins, but why not now?

This is a spiritual war, so let us develop greater use of our spiritual capabilities to assist in winning it, for we are Black Dragons of Spirit!

In Love and Light,
Patrick H. Bellringer

Thanks so much, my Light Friend, for not only posting my suggestion, but for taking time out of your busy schedule to write me back personally. I just don't see any other way to get the deliveries done other than using the ninjas of The Black Dragon Society...it would appear that they cannot be bought off nor intimidated in any way, and that they are committed to world peace. I do so hope that Fulford would contact them about either making the deliveries themselves, or, at least, protecting those who would make the deliveries. This really does need to come to a satisfactory conclusion, before any more die.
Thanks again for your comitment to Love and Light, BD

Does "BD" stand for "Brain Dead?"
