There was an earthquake in Haiti. But I instinctively thought it was Japan's conspiracy. I investigated the time, and it was coincidental. At that time, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Japanese Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada had just finished their critical talks at a Honolulu hotel. Let me describe a hypothesis in the novelistic form.
Japan's Ultimate Goal is Full Pullout of US Troops
Japan's ultimate goal is the full pullout of the US troops. The pullout should not be a triumphant return home but a miserable return home. In fact, Japan's tactic at the US military's withdrawal from the Philippines was successful. Japan aspires to achieve the same success in Okinawa.

In 2009, Japan's general headquarters decided to replace the unpopular ruling Liberal Democratic Party with the opposition Democratic Party of Japan in the
general election. But in this process, the headquarters pursued its maximum national interest. The headquarters added their own policy to the election manifesto of the DPJ.
Although most Japanese voters were apathetic to election manifestos, they rejected the ruling LDP. However, although most people were not interested in the opposition DPJ's manifesto, the DPJ said, "Now that we have won the election, we are going to implement our manifesto." The manifesto included the pullout of the US troops from Okinawa.
Japan's Delaying Tactics
On December 3, Hatoyama said that the Futenma relocation plan would be determined the next year. The US government responded immediately. On December 4, U.S. Ambassador to Japan John Roos, with anger, rebuked Japanese Foreign Minister Okada and Defense Minister Toshimi Kitazawa.
The US has increased pressure on Japan over the US base relocation issues in Okinawa. It was reported that Clinton summoned Japanese Ambassador Ichiro Fujisaki without previous notice. Kurt M. Campbell, Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, was present in the talks.
To tell the truth, Ichiro Fujisaki is a great-great-grandson of Ito Hirobumi, an outstanding samurai in the modernization of Japan.
Unreasonable Japanese Initiative in Negotiations
On January 5, Administrative Vice Foreign Minister
Mitoji Yabunaka met with Deputy Secretary of State
James Steinberg in Washington. Yabunaka told reporters that the two governments were finalizing the schedule of the foreign ministerial talks. And the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced, on January 7, that Japan-US foreign ministerial talks would be held in Hawaii the next week.
At 8:30 AM on January 12, Clinton met with Japan's foreign minister Okada at the Marriott Ihilani Resort in Hawaii. They talked about relocating a US base in Okinawa. At 10:25 AM, they ended the talks without reaching any particular agreements. Clinton headed to the US Pacific Command, and then she visited Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial at 11:35 AM.
However, just after the visit of Pearl Harbor, her mobile phone suddenly rang. It was an emergency message from the Whitehouse. There was a big earthquake at Haiti.

Clinton Scraps Australia Trip Because Of Earthquake
Clinton delivered her major policy address at the East-West Center to an invite-only crowd of 150 people including Governor Linda Lingle. But because of the deteriorating situation in Haiti, she decided to cancel her trip to Papua-New Guinea, New Zealand and Australia.
It's been 25 years since a U.S. Secretary of State has come to Hawaii. Although her visit to Hawaii had been supposed to get a lot of media coverage, it was almost dwarfed by the Haiti Earthquake.
Japan believes that it has given a blow to the US. This kind of strategy is one of the Effect-cause Reversal Conspiracies, which I have already explained.
In hope of creating a situation in which it looks like Clinton runs away to the homeland, Japan instigated an artificial earthquake in Haiti, which is located far east from Hawaii. She did not run away but she actually moved toward the opposite direction of Japan. There was more to it than that. Haiti was a special place for Clinton and her husband, former US president Bill Clinton. They have a long involvement with Haiti, where they spent their honeymoon.
Persistent and Blatant Clinton Bashing
I have described some examples of Japan's Clinton bashing. If you read some pages below, you will understand the Japanese conspiracies to some extent.

January 12
Finally, I investigated the date. Why did Japan instigate the disaster on January 12?
I was not a little surprised. The day was the day when Mt. Sakurajima in my region erupted in 1914. I have just written about Japan's conspiracy with the eruption in the previous pages.
Strictly speaking, the eruption occurred on January 11, 1914. And the English Wikipedia rightly describes it. But strangely enough, most Japanese books say, and also Japanese Wikipedia indicates, that it occurred on January 12, 1914. Probably the Japanese government hopes that nobody will detect their date puns.
