In other good news, China is massing troops and having air and naval craft patrol their border with North Korea. One Chinese restaurant owner (one wonders what’s on the menu there) in a nearby border town expressed amazement over the … Continue reading →
The Czar is still so irate and humorless with the electorate that he is perfectly willing to yield the floor. Todays essay has been contributed by long-time minion Island Dweller. The Czar always expected Japan would need to expand beyond … Continue reading →
Island Dweller sent two odd pieces of fragmented writing on onion skin. It indeed occurred to us to lay one on top of the other, whereupon not one but two messages came out: the first message contained all curved symbols, … Continue reading →

You might be tempted to think these two entries have nothing in common with each other. You would be correct. One thing that continually irks the Czar is the painful inability of the main stream media to get their facts … Continue reading →
The worst part of this… …is that scientifically speaking, it way more accurate than anything we have seen in the American mainstream media. And they appear to have kept Chernobyl in correct perspective, too. The Czar of MuscovyБожію Поспѣшествующею Милостію … Continue reading →
Your Mandarin is saddened by the tragedy that has befallen Japan and he offers his condolences to its citizens. Between the numerous lives that have been lost and the catastrophic damage to the country’s infrastructure this is truly one of … Continue reading →
The Japanese space agency (JAXA) suffered a sudden loss of communications with its Akatsuki probe, recently arrived in orbit around Venus. An unexpected and unexplained blackout occurred for about 22 minutes, during which time they lost total contact with the … Continue reading →
So, over at Contentions, J.E. Dyer puts up a bunch of links showing Russian attempts to bully Japan over the Kuril Islands, concluding: Its significance cannot be overemphasized. In approaching this confrontation, Russia is effectively treating Japan — a G-8 … Continue reading →
These attacks, orchestrated by Japan’s infamous Unit 731 between 1932 and 1945, are the only documented mass use of germ weapons in modern times. Scholars say that we will never know exactly how many were killed. Sheldon H. Harris, the … Continue reading →

The Japanese elect a blatantly liberal government, and the next thing you know they are shocked, shocked, to learn that the new government is already cranking up anti-business regulations under the guise of environmental protection to where manufacturers have … Continue reading →
News in Japan is not promising. Lower House elections are taking place tomorrow (or today, by the time you read this), and the polls seem to indicate that the long-serving Liberal Democratic Party is about to be thrown out of … Continue reading →

Via Mike Goldfarb at the Standard, a WSJ piece showing the awesome power of a boldfaced Gormogon footnote. A House committee threw a wrench in the Obama administration’s plans to end Lockheed Martin Corp.’s F-22 Raptor fighter program, voting instead … Continue reading →
‘Puter raises an interesting notion, wondering what the net effects would be of China assuming control over North Korea. The Czar is not certain if this would be a permanent or temporary solution; China, of course, is not known for … Continue reading →
Actually, ’Puter, your Volgi would have very little problem in turning North Korea over to China—though why China would want them is another question altogether. Even if it is an encouragement of Chinese imperialism, I think it’s hard to argue … Continue reading →
As the North Korean missile crisis continues, POTUS Obama has received assurances from Hu Jintao that not only would China consider a North Korean missile launch provocative, but gave signals that China would not oppose interception should the missile deviate … Continue reading →
HOLY FRICKIN’ CRAP. This is completely insane. Also, it may be leading off the Gormogon Film Festival. Who knows. This is either completely appalling or the most incredible thing ever. Alas, it’s Japanese, so we’ll never be able to decide … Continue reading →
Looks like they want to expand out into the Pacific. I wonder what Minister Hamada and the rest of the Japanese government thought of that… Confucius, Œc. Vol.Don’t ask impertinent questions like that jackass Adept Lu. gormogons.com

I love, love, love this story. Hmm…. but does he really think it means “Samurai” or “Dragon soul”? The story is a bit inconsistent. Or does he really know his tattoo 外人 really means “foreigner” and is he just yanking … Continue reading →
The Czar is not surprised by the discovery that German readers are flocking to our site in record numbers due to the phrase “sex milking.” Of course, this is a mistaken reference to an actual post on this site with … Continue reading →
F-22s for Japan? Damn right. There are a handful of countries who can afford the F-22 and be trusted with its technology. Japan is one. Australia is another. ラプター! ラプター! ラプター! If South Korea is really upset about this, they … Continue reading →
Someone send some generals and diplomats to Tokyo ASAP, please?! Will America abandon long-term ally Japan?

So, yeah, I forgot to blog about North Korea’s negotiating its way off our terror-sponsoring list. Too depressing, I guess. Anyway, just so your Monday is no happier than ours (as Redskins fans), here’s John Bolton telling you why it’s … Continue reading →
This hunk of awesomeness is a homebrew video about Japan’s new PM, Tarō Asō, whom we’ve already discussed a little chez Gormogon. Turns out Asō can outshoot the Ghettoputer nine days of the week with a scattergun. He was on … Continue reading →
I can’t remember who wrote it, but some smart guy once said, “‘Capitalism’ is simply a pejorative term for ‘economic reality.’” James Bowman has a nice screed on the topic here. The Volgi is nowhere near qualified to weigh on … Continue reading →
Ordinarily, the Volgi can go on for days about Japan’s insufficient historical reckoning with its crimes during World War Two. (Austria, please pick up the white courtesy phone.) Consequently, he generally enjoys when the Chinese shame the Japanese into some … Continue reading →
