I then gave references proving that the land was given to those farmers towards the end of the US administration of Japan, in the early 1950s. That farmer would, in fact be born around the time his family received that land. And that is total and utter B/S. You seriously believe that Japanese land was dished out by the US administration? What a ridiculous joke! You are implying that Japanese agriculltural history started after WWII? As others wrote consistently to which you failed to pay any attention, most Japanese land had been farmed for many, many generations of the same family. You will no doubt claim that the land itself became subject to Japanese government control following increasing resentment against landlords who hiked rents to ridiculous levels, drove many farmers from their land, the establishment of the earlier Imperial Agricultural Association and then the Nihon Nomin Kumiai, the latter effectively the farmers' union formed for collective bargaining. During the wartime economy, the government realised that the landlord system was a serious impediment to increasing productivity. It set up the Central Agricultural Association to supervise farming under the economy in wartime and later. This is typical of many worldwide governments which have departments in charge of agriculture. But farmers still owned the land their families had owned for generations and generations. This fact you cannot grasp. So best not to comment on it. Lucky 1 Quote

BS misquoting again. I never said that. All I said (which was demonstrated by the references I gave) was that the land was given to those farmers around the end of the US administration, I believe around 1952. Whether the land was given to them by the US or by Japanese authorities I do not know, nor is it in the least bit relevant to the discussion. The undisputed point of fact is that the land was only in these families since the middle of the 20th century, not for centuries--a totally imagined and unresearched false "fact" given by one of the dynamic trio. Once again, you deflect with irrelevancies and fabrications to distract from the real fact: that you (I'm putting the dynamic trio in that "you") simply made shit up to try to bolster your unfounded beliefs.

We are depending on you to eradicate the FRAUD, just like Trump intends to do in Minneapolis 🤣 It's your duty NOT to allow anyone to be scammed by these DEAD scaliwags.... People are free to choose to donate their money to millionaires instead of to the truly needy if they wish. I do think it's sad, given all of the real human suffering in this world. Trump himself is always begging for money, and getting it. AI Overview As of early 2026, Donald Trump's campaign has continued to solicit donations from supporters, frequently using urgent, high-stakes messaging via email . Recent requests have included calls for $47 in response to potential legal, political, and financial challenges, often framing donations as necessary to prevent Democrats from impacting supporters' finances. Recent Donation Request Details (2025-2026): Fundraising Goals: Solicitations have requested sums like $47 for a "limited-edition 2026 Trump Calendar" and $15 during a "24-HOUR TRUMP FUNDRAISING BLITZ". Urgency & Messaging: Emails often claim that the "end is near," referencing potential "FAKE impeachments," and warn against the "woke mind virus". Direct Appeals: Trump has asked for donations to "get to Heaven," framing his political survival as a spiritual mission. Donation Tactics: Recent requests have claimed that Democrats want to steal "tariff rebate checks" if supporters do not donate, according to The New Republic. Why don't you send money to Trump? Even sociopaths can use the extra $$, and maybe it'll help you "get to heaven." 😁 In the case of Dane' widow, she was actually estranged from the actor at the time of his death, yet apparently still stands to inherit some $7 million. I have no doubt that she learned something from JvdB's widow. 😉 AI Overview Eric Dane had an estimated net worth of $7 million at the time of his death in February 2026, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The Grey's Anatomy and Euphoria actor, who passed away at 53 from ALS, left his estate to his estranged wife, Rebecca Gayheart, as their divorce was dismissed in March 2025. Yahoo +2 Key Details Regarding His Estate: Net Worth: Approximately $7 million, accumulated from roles in Grey’s Anatomy, The Last Ship, and Euphoria. Beneficiary: Rebecca Gayheart, his wife from whom he was separated, is expected to inherit the estate because they remained legally married. Assets: His estate includes accumulated wealth from a three-decade career and potential real estate investments in Los Angeles. Dane passed away on February 19, 2026, 10 months after announcing his ALS diagnosis. While people are free do donate to whomever they wish, I personally find this trend sad, given all of the real human suffering on this planet. Quote
