So, you borrowed the above DVD on August 10, 2014 and, after viewing it, you jotted down the comment, didn’t you?
Yes, I did.
That was almost 8 years ago, huh?
Yes, it was. . . At that time, 18 people were waiting for the available DVD. . . Many people were interested in GMO.
I can see that. So, Kato, how did you like the movie?
Well… before I’m gonna tell you my opinion, why don’t you take a peek at the trailer?
(gmo005.jpg)
Ummm… Quite interesting! I think I’m gonna borrow it myself.
Please do. Actually, I’ve been really convinced that those genetically modified foods are damaging human beings.
Really?
Take a look at the following clip.
(gmo006.jpg)
You see, Diane… Monsanto, a multinational agrochemical and biotechnology corporation, introduced genetically engineered cotton to India. Because of this cotton, farm workers are getting itching rashes, and livestock eating the plants are getting sick or dying, and the cotton’s unreliable yield is leading to an enormous number of suicides among indebted farmers.
Amazing, isn’t it?
Yes, it is. Besides, genetically engineered foods play as a major contributor to rising disease rates especially among children. Gastrointestinal disorders, allergies, inflammatory diseases, and infertility are just some of the problems implicated in humans, pets, livestock, and lab animals that eat genetically modified soybeans and corn.
But Kato, is this all true?
Well, a variety of American organic food companies see Smith as a champion for their interests, and Smith’s supporters describe him as the world’s foremost expert on the topic of genetically modified foods.
I’ve heard that Mr. Smith was a ballroom-dance teacher and yogic flying instructor before he started his crusade against GMO.
That’s darn true, but as you see the above clips, he is respected as a public educator on GMO.
But some people describe him as misinformed and misleading, don’t they?
That’s true. Although they accuse Mr. Smith of being an activist with no scientific or medical background, the film is quite convincing that GMO really damages human beings. Don’t you think, Diane?
Then how come the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) ignores a growing health emergency?
The film says, the USDA has lied about it since 1992. Besides, some of the top administrators of the USDA are ex-executives of Monsanto. That is, Monsanto controls key appointments to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) as well as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The thing is, no matter who wins the presidential election Monsanto benefits.
How about President Obama at the time when the problem hit the public? Was he influenced by Monsanto?
Oh, yes he was. Throughout his first term, for example, President Obama presided over the passage of several Monsanto-friendly legislative initiatives and appointed numerous people associated with Monsanto to high-level positions. So, in this regard, even Putin opposed President Obama as shown in the following clip.

(gmo008.jpg)
I see… So, most of the countries are introducing anti-GMO legislation, huh?
You’re telling me, Diane. I’m pretty sure, these clips may change your diet.
So, Kato, what would you suggest?
Of course, you should go for organic foods, and take a lot of phytonutrients.
What are phytonutrients?
Watch the following clip.

I see… So, I should eat foods of 5 colors every day, huh?
There have been at least five mass extinctions in the history of life on earth, and four in the last 3.5 billion years in which many species have disappeared in a relatively short period of geological time.
The massive eruptive event is considered to be one likely cause of the “Great Dying” about 250 million years ago, which is estimated to have killed 90% of species existing at the time.
There is also evidence to suggest this event was preceded by another mass extinction known as Olson’s Extinction.
The Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event occurred 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous period and is best known for having wiped out non-avian dinosaurs, among many other species.
Cause of the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction?
Many scientists believe that a comet or meteor triggered the mass extinction of the dinosaurs.
You might wonder if another comet collides with the Earth in the near future.
Super Comet Hits the Earth
This is a 2007 speculative documentary produced by ZDF and the Discovery Channel.
It was directed by Stefan Schneider.
The 84-minute film hypothesizes the effects on modern-day earth of a large comet impacting in Mexico near the same location of the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, the ancient impact of a comet or meteor that is believed to have triggered the mass extinction of the dinosaurs.
It alternates between interviews with climatologists and researchers and dramatized scenes following several groups of people as they attempt to survive in the days and months after the disaster: a separated family in France, a pair of scientists in Hawaii, a man who manages to survive for a period of time near the ground zero impact in Mexico, and a tribe in Cameroon.
It is such a thrilling, exciting and profoundly astounding docudrama that you would forget to take a pee during the show.
Kato, I see the photo of President Trump among the above pictures… I wonder if Golden Shower has something to do with President Trump.
(kato3.gif)
Yes, it has something to do with Trump.
As you know, Kato, Golden Shower is a golden shower tree… That’s what you mean, isn’t it?
(gshower3.jpg)
Golden shower tree
Cassia fistula, known as golden rain tree, canafistula, and other names, is a flowering plant in the family Fabaceae.
The species is native to the Indian subcontinent and adjacent regions of Southeast Asia.
It ranges from eastward throughout India to Myanmar and Thailand and south to Sri Lanka and southern Pakistan.
It is the state flower of Kerala in India and of immense importance amongst the Malayali population.
It is a popular ornamental plant and is also used in herbal medicine.
In ancient Tamil literature, it is called கொன்றை (kondrai) and is closely associated with the Mullai (forest) region of Sangam landscape.
It is the national tree of Thailand, and its flower is Thailand’s national flower.

Have you seen this tree?
No, I haven’t, but I’m quite interested in exotic flowers… So I’ve seen those flowers in my pictorial encyclopedia when I was a kid… How about you, Kato?
Well…, I’ve never seen those flowers… In Japan, you see those flowers only in Okinawa—Florida in Japan, I’d say.
So, Kato, are you saying that President Trump was profoundly moved by seeing the golden shower tree in Okinawa?
No, I don’t think he’s ever been to Okinawa in his life.
Then how come you’re talking about Golden Shower?
Before I answer your question, I’d like you to see the following list.
I see… So you viewed the above movie in Vancouver Public Library and jotted down your comment on January 30, didn’t you?
Yes, I did.
Tell me about the movie.
It goes like this:
(sparrow01.jpg)
Red Sparrow
Directed by Francis Lawrence and written by Justin Haythe in 2018, based on the 2013 novel of the same name by Jason Matthews, this American spy thriller stars Jennifer Lawrence, Joel Edgerton, Matthias Schoenaerts, Charlotte Rampling, Mary-Louise Parker, and Jeremy Irons.
It depicts the story of a Russian intelligence officer, who is sent to make contact with a CIA officer in the hope of discovering the identity of a mole.
Matthews, a former member of the CIA, advised the production on the depiction of spying.
Based on historic Soviet sexpionage and contemporary Russian use of kompromat, filming took place in Hungary, Slovakia and Austria.
Jennifer Lawrence studied with the New York City Ballet to prepare for her performance.
Some critics say that it has “more style than substance”, and criticized the film’s length and over-reliance on graphic violence and sex, while praising Jennifer Lawrence’s performance

Quite interesting! But President Trump doesn’t seem to show up in the above passage.
No, Trump doesn’t show up in the movie at all.
I wonder if President Trump still has something to do with the above movie.
Yes, of course, he has… When I viewed the above movie, Trump came up in my mind.
Why is that?
When you read my comment, you’ll have an answer.
My Comment
Jan 30, 2019
Directed by Francis Lawrence in 2018 based on the 2013 novel of the same name by Jason Matthews, this American spy thriller depicts a complicated intelligent story.
Based on historic Soviet sexpionage and contemporary Russian use of kompromat, the film makes a difference and stands out among ordinary spy thrillers.
However, it puts too much focus on graphic violence and sex.
(sparrow02.jpg)
(sparrow03.jpg)
(sparrow04.jpg)
Although it seems like a mere fiction, the State School 4, a specialist training school for ‘Sparrows’ or whore-agents, looks real because the infamous Golden shower episode of President Trump might have been created based on such an agent.
I enjoyed the film to the hilt.
What the heck is “Golden Shower” episode?
Please read the following passage.
Kompromat and Blackmail
(gshower11.jpg)
(gshower10.jpg)
(gshower2.jpg)
Trump “hated” Obama so much that when he stayed in the Presidential suite of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Moscow, he employed “a number of prostitutes to perform a ‘golden showers’ (urination) show in front of him” in order to defile the bed used by the Obamas on an earlier visit.
The alleged incident from 2013 was reportedly filmed and recorded by the FSB as kompromat.
Trump was susceptible to blackmail due to paying bribes and the existence of “embarrassing material” due to engagement in “perverted sexual acts” and “unorthodox behavior” in Russia, “enough embarrassing material…to be able to blackmail him if they so wished.”
The Kremlin had promised Trump they would not use the kompromat collected against him “as leverage, given high levels of voluntary co-operation forthcoming from his team.”
Trump had explored the real estate sectors in St Petersburg and Moscow, “but in the end TRUMP had had to settle for the use of extensive sexual services there from local prostitutes rather than business success”.
Trump has pursued real estate deals in St Petersburg, and “paid bribes there to further his interests”.
That witnesses to his “sex parties in the city” had been “‘silenced’ i.e. bribed or coerced to disappear.”
Trump associates did not fear “the negative media publicity surrounding alleged Russian interference”, because it distracted attention from his “business dealings in China and other emerging markets”, which involved “large bribes and kickbacks” that could be devastating if revealed.

I see… Trump Russia affair, huh?
That’s right.
It has all started since Trump called such mischievous girls to his hotel room, huh?
You’re telling me, Diane.
I wonder if the State School 4, a specialist training school for ‘Sparrows’ or whore-agents, really exists.
I suppose it does because the Soviet female agents are infamous for sexpionage.
Do you really think so?
Well…, read the following passage.
Honey trapping
(trap01.jpg)
Honey trapping is an investigative practice that uses romantic or sexual relationships for an interpersonal, political or monetary purpose to the detriment of one party involved in this romantic or sexual affair.
Investigators are also often employed by wives, husbands, and other partners usually when an illicit romantic affair is suspected of the “target”, or subject of the investigation.
Occasionally, the term may be used for the practice of creating an affair for the purpose of taking incriminating photos for use in blackmail.
A honey trap is used primarily to collect evidence on the subject of the honey trap.
(trap02.jpg)
Spy craft
In 2009 the British MI5 distributed a 14-page document to hundreds of British banks, businesses, and financial institutions, titled “The Threat from Chinese Espionage”.
It described a wide-ranging Chinese effort to blackmail Western business people over sexual relationships.
The document explicitly warns that Chinese intelligence services are trying to cultivate “long-term relationships” and have been known to “exploit vulnerabilities such as sexual relationships … to pressurise individuals to co-operate with them.”

As you see, the Chinese agency uses honey trapping… So does Russian agency… Actually, some Japanese people stepped into this honey trap in the past.
Really?
Here’s one of the cases.
(stalin01.jpg)
Stalin’s plot
Michitaro Komatsubara, an information officer specializing in Russian, was troubled by a honey trap in Moscow during the military aid with the Japanese embassy, and since then, he was threatened by the Soviet Union.
At the same time, Colonel Kizaburo Koyanagi, a resident military officer at the Japanese embassy, stepped into a honey trap, and committed suicide at the military office in Moscow in March 1929 because he felt so ashamed of his reckless conduct.
Asahi Shimbun (the Japanese newspaper evening edition of April 4, 1929) reported that spy work was involved in the background of suicide.
After Colonel Koyanagi’s suicide, Komatsubara acted as if nothing had been done, repeatedly promoted, served as director of the intelligence agency in Harbin from 1932 to 1934.
During this period in Harbin, a series of important information leaked to the Soviet Union.
The confidential documents released by the former Soviet Union have found that the Soviet forces had acquired a large amount of political military information on Japan, China and Manchuria from 1932 to 1934.
The period from 1932 to 1934 exactle matches the years in which Komatsubara served as the chief of the intelligent agency in Harbin.
It seems to suggest that Lieutenant General Komatsubara’s death in Japan suggested that Soviet agent was involved.

Lt. General Komatsubara
Although there is no certain evidence regarding Komatsubara’s connection with the Soviet, there are many cases that an inconvenient Soviet spy has been murdered in the disguise of an accident or illness.
Kato watched “The Arabian Nights” or “One Thousand and One Nights” as his 1001th movie.
You might just as well want to view it.
(1001nite.jpg)
(1001nite10.jpg)
The stories in “the Arabian Nights” were collected over many centuries by various authors, translators, and scholars across West, Central, and South Asia and North Africa.
The tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Egyptian and Mesopotamian folklore and literature.
In particular, many tales were originally folk stories from the Caliphate era, while others, especially the frame story, are most probably drawn from the Pahlavi Persian work Hazār Afsān which in turn relied partly on Indian elements.
What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahryār and his wife Scheherazade and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves.
The stories proceed from this original tale.
Some are framed within other tales, while others begin and end of their own accord.
Some editions contain only a few hundred nights, while others include 1,001 or more.
