On April 8 there was a formal reception on the occasion of the publishing Mr. Fujita's book
at the Tokyo Dome Hotel.

The event was organized and promoted by a large group of Mr. Fujita's supporters including the chief editor daily newspaper Japan Times, several leading representatives of the Democratic Party and several business excecutives. They hosted the event in honour of the Mr. Fujita.
Yumi Kikuchi, a well known peace and 9/11 activists first presented a video lecture that had been prepared by co-author of the book, Akira Dojimaru, who lives in Spain and was not present at the event. The presentation explained in great detail the numerous main points that completely contradict the official 9/11 account of the US administration and the mainstream media. Its was made clear that 9/11 is used to constantly justify wars.

Takao Iwami, a political commentator who writes a column in the Mainichi Shimbun newspaper then questioned Mr. Fujita about the book, the consequences of 9/11 and perspective of the world politics


During the second part of the event formal greetings to Mr. Fujita were presented by the following speakers:

Tadashi Inuzuka, Member of Parliament, member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence LINK
Hideaki Seo, director of Sundai School , chair of the Fujita Politics Forum
Yukiyo Hatoyama, general secretary of the Democratic Party of Japan LINK
Kazuo Tanigawa, former self defense minister and Justice minister for the ruling party in Japan,
Minshuto or Liberal Democratic Party
Yasushi Kurokouchi, fomer ambassador to Switzerland, Nigeria and Tanzania
Haruhiko Shiratori, father of a 9/11 victim.
Yasuo Onuki, former chief of the NHK office in Europe and the US. NHK, Japan Broadcasting Corporation, is Japan's national public broadcasting organization.
Hiroshi Yamada, former chief editor of the US and Europe office of Japan's daily newspaper "Yomiuri"
Kyoji Takei, representative of a major japanese printing labor union.

All speakers fully supported Mr. Fujita's efforts emphasizing the importance of the 9/11 questions in the context of the need of peace and reconciliation in Afghanistan and the protection of Japan non-military constitution.

Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution prohibits any act of war by the state. Japan formally renounced war as a sovereign right and banned the settlement of international disputes through the use of force. The article No.9 also states that, to accomplish these aims, armed forces with war potential will not be maintained. Conservative forces are calling for a review of the article No.9 to allow Japan to take a larger role in global security using 9/11 as a central justification for these ever strong calls.

At end of the event a formal greeting address by opposition and DPJ party leader Ichiro Ozawa was read to the audience in which Ozawa called for Mr Fujita to be persistent in his efforts.

The very widespread support for Mr. Fujita's struggele to expose zhe official 9/11 lies could very well make the 9/11 issue become an election issue.for the first time..Japan must hold the election by October at the latest, but the ruling government has been hard pressed to find a favourable opportunity as the country battles its worst recession since World War Two.

The 9/11 issue might play an important in this election. In case Fujita's party could win at the polls, things may really start to move.
