Stewart Wachs - poster child for the Kyoto brigade of CIA Idiot Savant Poseurs

I first heard this guys name from Brian Schultz, whom had tried to intreest me in joining him at a monthly meeting hosted by Mr. Wachs and others from the Kyoto Journal at a small shrine near the Yoshida shrine in Kyoto. I politiely declined, as I was fairly busy and had a lot of reading I told Schultz that I was not impressed with the Kyoto Journal. I had already read the offensive disinformation pieces by Dougill and Houser (both Kyoto Journal contributors...) in the defunct Kansai Time Out, and they were so obviously inauthentic that some of the articles published under their names may have been fed from propagandists in Langley, etc. , with them as ghost writers learning the trade.

It doesn't require an especially unique perspective to take decent photographs in Kyoto, because the city has many built-in design features that accentuate the natural beauty found here.

That said, it still seems rather ill-advised that the CIA/MI6 have overplayed the "photo-journalist" "photographer" to an extent that would practically make it impossible for a reasonably attentive not to notice.  

And note that the Kyoto Journal is a "non-profit", with interns! Some people just have nothing but time on their hands! According to the blog ostensibly operated by the enterprising Irish intelligence officer, DeepKyoto, Wachs currently has a female intern at present from the UK, apparently, named Lucinda Ping Cowing. http://www.deepkyoto.com/?p=4426 One good publication deserves another... Oh, and don't miss Eric Johnston of the Japan Times in a photo with Wachs and Cowing at the bottom of that page.

Could she be an officer in the MI6? Oh dear. I asked her about that yesterday, and she abruptly deleted her Facebook account, without replying. https://www.facebook.com/greenpeaceuk/posts/105233846208189 Here is a dead link to the blog linked to under her name on the blog article. http://japanchinaarts.blogspot.jp/ 

Has she's gone zero-dark whatever? 

Oh, but wait, you can read an advert like page about her here. http://openkyoto.com/creative-corps/lucinda-ping-cowing She is showcasing her "work", as it were, photography!

At any rate, aside from the Japanese government potentially finding itself in the embarrassing position of having recognized a CIA media front, I seriously doubt that Abe Kobo and Noam Chomsky would be happy to learn that they'd contributed pieces to a CIA media front.

The CIA didn't think about any of this, apparently. At least the publication is no longer in print, only being put out in digital form now. 

Who Is Colin Marshall? Yet another CIA media man attempting to promote his CIA deep-cover Cohorts?

That what he appears to be, at any rate.

He has conducted interviews posted on the intelligence-front blog, Deep Kyoto, and is based in LA and South Korea. LA is the HQ of Japanese and Korean organized crime groups in America, as I understand it, and the Korean groups have a significant presence in Kyoto. 

Here's a link from the CIA tool's blog of relevant articles, featuring many of the usual suspects.

Interviews with Christopher Olson, John Dougill, Josh Parkin, Brian Ashcraft, Michael Lambe, Tim Olive, and Pico Iyer
http://colinmarshall.libsyn.com/webpage/2013/01

Anyone that has been reading this blog knows that Dougill and Lambe are two idiot savant MI6 poseurs that I've written about. There is nothing that either of them have accomplished that would merit the attention of a real writer. Pico Iyer is probably the only individual on the list with the requisite accomplishments to qualify. 

Another features an American, Christopher Stephens, http://colinmarshall.libsyn.com/s3e10-trouble-sparks-creativity-with-christopher-stephens that worked for the now defunct and infamous Kansai Time Out--it even links to a reprint of a KTO article (all rights reservered...). http://sks.sirs.swb.orc.scoolaid.net/cgi-bin/hst-article-display?id=SNY5419-0-5298&artno=0000124427&type=ART&shfilter=U

Here is the man in person, sort of. One video is "private", but there is a snapshot of him appearing on TV in Santa Barbara, CA, but you have to scroll down the screen for it. http://colinmarshall.typepad.com/ 
There is also this fairly long interview with Marshall being the subject because he's such a celebrity of a tool! http://vimeo.com/5089620

Sean Lotman, a fellow UCSB student, must be jealous...

The Flame, brought to you by Charles Roche

I forgot to insert the links to Dawn O'Day's performances at the event called "The Flame" into the last post. 

The event features performance by many individuals aside from the couple named on this blog that I suspect are intelligence officers from the CIA, MI6, etc. from national intelligence services. I've already posted a clip from John Ashburne earlier...

I've seen few interesting clips, but most are rather not.

Dawn O'Day

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07UVp9qEmtM

Here's a clip of a not very flattering performance by the host, Charles Roche
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blo8sWYGI1M

I generally found Paul to be an amicable individual, and this clip basically shows him in that light. 
Unfortunately, I have to expose the CIA/MI6 et al. network, as it will be an issue in the upcoming lawsuit. Paul was one of the guys that had an apartment at the Villa Tonoda, where I lived for 10 years. Dan Douglass lived a couple doors down from me, etc.

The youtube site called "Iwakuraken" hosting the videos of performances at The Flame
https://www.youtube.com/user/iwakuraken/videos
appears to be maintained by Ken Rogers, who arrived in Kyoto in 1982, which is about the same time frame as Roche and Einarsen.  
http://www.deepkyoto.com/?p=3738 

a former printmaker, TV film editing assistant, commercial screenprinter (Johannesburg, 1973), state library worker, mental hospital ward aide, and classified hard-rock mine long-hole driller, arrived in Kyoto from Tasmania in 1982

who has appeared at "The Flame"  
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4ranqR3pCI
Apparently he hosted a similar spoken word from 1996-2000, from which he has uploaded some videos to his youtube site.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rnmP6YPiVY

Note that the intelligence front blog, Deep Kyoto, also has articles featuring photography of Stewart Wachs 
http://www.deepkyoto.com/?p=3547 and John Einarsen, which they recently removed from the site, but can be found at this cached page 
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:VNzIvtL2z9kJ:www.deepkyoto.com/%3Fp%3D3498+&cd=15&hl=ja&ct=clnk&gl=jp&lr=lang_en%7Clang_ja. 
Wait, they've reactivated it, quick! 
http://www.deepkyoto.com/?p=3498 

One can only wonder if the Japanese government would be embarrassed by the following

if it is eventually confirmed that suspected CIA officer John Einarsen is actually a CIA officer.

Suspected CIA officer Ted Taylor, co-editor of e-book put out by CIA/G2 front Deep Kyoto keeps this blog 
http://notesfromthenog.blogspot.jp/
but he does not host the Iwakuraken youtube site that hosts the videos of all the performances at The Flame. He has performed at The Flame, however, numerous times:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJiNqQWX_jc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iRx_IKDS7M

I hope you enjoy their performances as much as I have... (Actually, I'll admit to not even watching in their entirety some of those I've started, because they are a poor use of one's time, generally speaking, and there is only so much I need to know about these trained sociopaths to expose them.) 

CIA Dawn O’Day and other intelligence officer photojournalists, photographers, gallery operators, etc.

This somewhat short post has been sitting idle on my desktop for some time, and while I don't have time to finish it, I think that I can post this much as is for the time being.

Dawn O’Day (https://www.facebook.com/dawn.oday.9?fref=ts) currently teaches English at the Kyoto Prefectural College of Medicine: 
(Update: 8/13/2015)) She recently hid her timeline, changed her photo, and added her workplace...

The second of the above files has been deleted, but are archived, as follws. I don't know how many of the other Westerners on the list are CIA officers, but maybe that was part of the concern...

She had been complaining to me about her work situation the last couple of times I spoke to her, asking me for legal advice regarding the actions of her boss and her contractual status. Meanwhile, she had been advising me against filing a lawsuit against the US government, for some reason. Of course, knowing that she was an officer in the CIA, I took this to mean that she was indicating that the CIA was going to meet my demands and come to an agreeable settlement. As it turned out, she was yet another deceptive individual dispatched to divert my energies and attention from the matter at hand of filing the lawsuit against the CIA, DOS, DOJ, etc. I had first complained about her to the American Consulate in Osaka over a year ago.[

The cover of “photographer” or photo journalist is a favorite of the CIA/MI6. The CIA currently appears to be repacking an individual named Mike Wessel for such reintroduction into the world (of fashion?) at large. Mike used to work for a chemical company in Kyoto selling floor cleaning products. He was kind of a nerd who had close cropped hair and also used to complain about his job incessantly, which I found somewhat unusual given his utter lack of skills, including language skills. http://www.mwesselphotography.com/About He is now being presented as some sort of counter culture artiste, a connoisseur of “fashion and beauty”! http://www.mwesselphotography.com/Creative/ This should be familiar as it parallels the scenario with Sean Lotman et al. What a pathetic bunch of nobodies.

The following individual has kept a blog, thankfully, detailing some of the exhibits including names of people I’ve known to be CIA(etc.) officers, but hadn’t seen mentioned in connection with phoitography.[

same, plus John Einarsen and Dawn O’Day

Frank Carter and Paul Crouse number among the many CIA/MI6 et al that used to reside at the apartment building in which I resided for about ten years. Fortunately, that is now being demolished, and the network exposed in this b log dispersed, permanently.

http://aaron.hatenablog.com/entry/2013/04/03/230528

“Peace” themes, incidentally, recur prominently in the covers used for CIA/MI6 officers deployed to Kyoto

Preston Houser publishes essays accompanied by photos by Einarsen of Kyoto Journal in book called “Everyone Comes to Kyoto” by Stonebridge Press. (Berkeley, CA,U.S.A.)

I came across some other random connections while searching the above.

http://www.pechakucha.org/search?search[term]=kyoto&search[within][type]=NilClass&search[within][url]=

Eric Luong (https://www.facebook.com/eluong?fref=ts) is an individual I’ve had on the radar for some time as he runs a gallery/wedding business (https://www.facebook.com/3fprojectroom?fref=pb&hc_location=profile_browser) in the neighborhood and appears to have two separate Facebook pages, the other being under the name Eric Luong Kuad. https://www.facebook.com/eluongkuad/friends It seems that he wants to conceal the fact that he runs the gallery/wedding business while holding down a day job as an associate professor at a design college. I first connected him to the network after noticing that Einarsen was exhibiting photos in an exhibition at the gallery. Luong hails from Toronto—perhaps originally from China—and I messaged one of his Facebook pages a link to the Canadian intelligence service, which he simply deleted, twice. Other Canadians in the intelligence network include Mark (Max) Dodds (https://www.facebook.com/mark.dodds.33?fref=ts), formerly of the now defunct bogus (i.e., “front”) local band called “Elements”, who now goes as “Mark” (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mark-Dodds-max/315554985123859), and Micah Gampel (yet another veteran of the “Friends World Global College).

All one has to do at this point is to check the friends list (those not hidden) of any of these people to confirm the overlap (e.g., https://www.facebook.com/dawn.oday.9/friends_current_city, https://www.facebook.com/mark.dodds.33/friends_all, https://www.facebook.com/ericbray23/friends).

It will be readily apparent from the foregoing that the CIA and MI6 have adopted a strategy of permitting—if not mandating—that there officers in Kyoto that I have exposed maintain Facebook accounts. There is no question that the above-named individuals are still operating covertly, however, so the nature of the strategy is open to speculation. Meanwhile, people like Dan Douglass, Aaron Campbell, and Micah Gampel, however, are hiding their lists presently: https://www.facebook.com/dan.douglass.946/friends, https://www.facebook.com/aaronpc?fref=pb&hc_location=friends_tab, https://www.facebook.com/micah.gampel/friends.
