Not Working?
A "captured" Japanese newsreel. Civilian defense shows an aircraft spotter painting spots on aircraft and a fire prevention HQ that already burned down. Kitchen Hints shows the construction of a sandwich from bread and meat ration cards. Poisonalities in the News shows Yamamoto walking on stilts and boasting of plans for the White House, contrasted with the room reserved for him: an electric chair. A submarine, launched 3 weeks ahead of schedule, is still being built. A plane's new landing gear is a little man on a tricycle. A minesweeper uses a giant broom.
From 1943.

Three points before I give it 5*:
1. Bugs Bunny???
2. Racist and not particularly amusing in many spots.
So why give it a 5*?
3. The historical significance and it was genuinely enjoyable to view.

And why is it historically significant? Most american corporations traded with the enemy during ww2 and are still alive today. Warner Brothers is now Time Warner, and don't think they don't support facism. It's being implemented incrementally in america. They are trying to triple the membership of the CIA to watch you, americans, who they will label terrorists, even go so far as to falsely call you alquaeda. Most mayors, police and fire chiefs, and governors have already been bribed by the CIA. Few have passed on the bribes.
They are also in the process of hiring illegals and felons to police you.
Hitler preached homeland security too you know. There is so much more in common with nazi germany and america. Project paperclip for one. Another is the relative police state in america that has slowly gotten worse despite declining violence in america. It's not going to stop either. Chicago recently called for the national guards help, despite a declining murder and crime rate.
There are things that are going on in situations like hurricane katrina, and likely the recent one in houston, people are being forced out of their homes, and firearms are being confiscated, and those who refuse it are ordered to be shot, and about 100 were in New Orleans.
They are also putting things in the food and water just like the nazi's did, like flouride and aspertame, among other chemicals that give you cancer and make you stupid, and substances like high fructose corn syrup, which makes you fat.
The worst part of it all is in St. Louis, and you have to learn about it: the Monsanto corporation. Google video has a couple of very informative documentary's on this evil company.

If Google Video has such great documentaries that support your position, why not post them here?
Just a friendly word of advice: You might gain more friends and followers with an item that is perceived as impartial third party documentation rather than incessant rambling rants.

Last time I posted a reply to Jellis, you told me not to feed the trolls ...

Well, okay; I see he asked you a question. It would be rude not to answer.
Re: Banned Cartoons Bugs Bunny: Tokio Jokio, 1943
No, you're right. I am far more guilty of that sin than you are. See the antagonist that uses a portion of your name and only likes to view political clips at M&C.
It's a terrible thing to suggest to others, "Do as I say, not as I do." I should follow my own advice.

It's great to be able to access stuff like this... puts you into the era better than any history book can.
A weird thing about the racist caricatures... strangely enough, by making the Japanese seem so silly (like, indeed, cartoon characters), it actually made them seem sympathetic rather than menacing... surely not the goal of most of these films. But I guess maybe the intention was for the GI's watching this to feel more confident about fighting the enemy.
Fascinating stuff, in any case.
