Go to: www.worldwar2treasure.com if you are interested in high adventure and want to participate in recovering World War 2 treasure. Massive looting as an extension of war is nothing new. The Japanese were serious, sober, and deliberate when they methodically and systematically looted thirteen Asian Countries during World War 2. They took treasure including precious diamonds and other gems, gold bullion, and solid gold Buddha's out of every hiding place. Much of this treasure did not make it back to Japan due to a World War 2 naval blockade of the Philippine islands by the United States, and has been recovered recently in underground hiding places. Widespread and systematic looting took place during World War 2 throughout Europe and Asia. For details, go to: www.worldwar2treasure.com

They are creating situation because they are not honest, they are not clean. And a clean man cannot become politician.

World War II SUBSCRIBE TO EXCELLENT WORLD WAR II VIDEOS Seven American battleships and 11 destroyers shelled Saipan and Tinian for 2 days before the landings, firing 15000 16-inch and 5-inch shells at the islands along with 165000 other shells of other caliber. To even begin to comprehend the magnitude of this onslaught, one needs to realize that a single 16-inch round weighs slightly more than a Volkswagen Beetle, besides being packed with high explosives. On the second day of the bombardment, this force was joined by 8 more battleships, 6 heavy cruisers and 5 light cruisers. The islands were ringed by American warships with their guns blazing. Shells rained down on the island, its villages, inhabitants, and defenders, gouging huge craters in the sand and coral. The earth trembled under the tremendous explosions of naval bombardment and simultaneous air attacks. The main invasion force landed along 4 miles of beach at Chalan Kanoa. Twenty-eight US tanks were destroyed the first day alone. The Japanese positioned colored flags in the lagoon to mark the range of the landing force and to register their howitzers on the invaders from locations behind Mount Fina Susu, and their shell fire rained down on the advancing American force every 15 seconds in a deadly cauldron of exploding steel. By nightfall of the first day, the Second Marine Division had sustained 2000 casualties. The fighting continued until July 9th, when organized resistance on Saipan ceased. When the fighting ...

Saipan is part of the Northern Mariana Islands in the Micronesia region of the Pacific Ocean. About 4 hours flying time east of Hong Kong. It is about 44 square miles and has a population of under 70000. At the American Memorial Park and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Museum of History and Culture in Garapan, an in-depth display explains the Imperial Japanese expansion into the Pacific that went unchecked until Pearl Harbor. On June 15 1944 the United States Marines landed on the beaches of the southwestern side of the island and fought the Battle of Saipan against the Japanese. A task force had destroyed between 150 and 215 Japanese planes. The Marines fought hard and nearly all of the 30000 Japanese defenders were killed; Thousands of Japanese civilians also died, many threw themselves off Suicide Cliff. Also many natives jumped or were pushed off the cliffs by the Japanese soldiers who had spread propaganda that the concurring Americans would torture and maim the civilians. Today at Suicide cliffs there are many monuments placed by both Americans and Japanese acknowledging the bravery of those who lost their lives and a prayer that peace prevails in the future. Nearby is Banzai cliff where additional monuments are placed although there is some debate as to the belief that people actually plunged to their deaths there. Across the island are remains from the war. Japanese pill boxes and bunkers are peppered along the beachfront and near the airport ...

Saipan ( /saɪˈpæn/) is the largest island of the United States Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), a chain of fifteen tropical islands belonging to the Marianas archipelago in the western Pacific Ocean (15°10’51”N, 145°45’21”E) with a total area of 44.55 sq mi (115.4 km²). According to the 2010 United States Census, Saipan's population was 48,220, a drop of 22.7% from the 2000 US Census; the population decrease is largely attributed to working immigrants and their families either returning to their home countries after the collapse of the garment industry or moving to other locations with economic opportunities such as Guam and the United States.

The Commonwealth's center of government is located in the village of Capital Hill on the island. As the entire island is organized as a single municipality, most publications term "Saipan" as the Commonwealth's capital.

Located at latitude of 15.25° north and longitude of 145.75° east, about 120 mi (190 km) north of Guam, Saipan is about 12 mi (19 km) long and 5.6 mi (9.0 km) wide. It is a popular tourist destination in the Pacific.
