Brief Sterling en Peggy Seagraves aan SV JAPPENKAMP.



Al eerder hebben wij kennis kunnen maken met het echtpaar Seagraves van het boek “TheYamato Dynasty”, waarin is geschreven over de rooftochten van Prins Chichibu, de broer van Keizer Hirohito. Chichibu reisde alle bezette gebieden af op een rooftocht, die de sprookjesachtige codenaam Golden Lily meekreeg. Een rooftocht die zijn weerga niet kende en de roof van de Nazi’s reduceerde tot dwergachtige proporties, aldus de onderzoekers, het echtpaar Sterling en Peggy Seagrave.

Van de Seagraves ontvingen wij op 08.11.2002 de volgende e-mail: (engels)


Dear Former Internees,

At your website, you mention THE YAMATO DYNASTY* by Sterling and Peggy Seagrave. We have now written a sequel, GOLD WARRIORS, which explains in far greater detail the looting of Asia and why Japan has avoided paying reparations.

GOLD WARRIORS, by Sterling & Peggy Seagrave, Bowstring Press, September 2002.

"The Seagraves have uncovered one of the biggest secrets of the Twentieth Century."
-----Iris Chang, author of The Rape of Nanking


It has taken Holocaust victims nearly six decades to recover assets stolen by the Nazis and hidden by Swiss banks, and to win compensation for slave labor at German companies like Volkswagon and Bertelsman. This success has encouraged victims of Japanese aggression to come forth with valid demands for similar compensation. But these victims of Japan are being stonewalled by the White House and the State Department.
In 1951, since the signing of the San Francisco Peace Treaty ending the war with Japan, these victims have been denied all rights to compensation. The Treaty falsely declared that Japan was unable to pay significant reparations because the country was bankrupt by the war. Every president since Harry Truman has steadfastly backed up this assertion. As U.S. Ambassador to Tokyo, Thomas Foley declared in 1998, "The peace treaty put aside all claims against Japan." Foley now works as a paid consultant to Mitsubishi, helping them to block private legal actions being brought against the global enterprise by former slave-laborers.
While denialists maintain that Hirohito was a man of peaceful intentions who was manipulated by wicked advisors, the emperor personally authorized assassinations, was fully aware of medical experimentation on prisoners of war, and personally approved the policy of systematic looting of Asia. As Hoshino Naoki, head of the imperial heroin monopoly, reminded the emperor at a meeting of the Imperial Headquarters Liaison Conference: "There are no restrictions on us… We can … do anything we want."
Although many books have been published about Nazi looting and economic conspiracy, records of Japan's looting and economic conspiracy have been removed from Western archives and remain under secret classification. Millions of victims who were robbed, enslaved and abused by the Japanese cannot get records on what they know to have happened to them.
GOLD WARRIORS lifts the veil of secrecy, drawing on thousands of pages of original documents and thousands of hours of interviews with eyewitnesses, confidential government sources, victims, financial experts and lawyers fighting to gain compensation and redress for Japan's war crimes. Twenty years of research back up this investigation of Japan's systematic looting of Asia, concluding with startling new evidence explaining why Japan has never paid significant compensation to her victims.
Drawing on thousands of pages of original documents and thousands of hours of interviews with eyewitnesses, victims, financial experts and lawyers fighting to gain compensation and redress for Japan's war crimes, the Seagraves expose one of the great state secrets of the Twentieth Century. GOLD WARRIORS is available exclusively at www.bowstring.net (repeat) www.bowstring.net. The signed edition is available with two CDs containing thousands of pages of documents and photographs assembled in the course of the research.

Sincerely yours,

Peggy & Sterling Seagrave
