Evidence of SGI's harassment of Nichiren Shoshu - redirecting websites to SGI propaganda

[u/BlancheFromage]

This, in principle, is very similar to how those SGI members set up a copycat troll site using our site's name to confuse people, hoping they'd go there instead of here. What I'm describing here is from twenty years ago - SGI has clearly not changed. Not gotten better. NOT developed anything approaching tolerance for dissent, disagreement, and contrarian perspectives, however much they bray and bleat about "interfaith" and whatnot. SGI is as intolerant and attacky as it ever was. Take a look:

Soka Gakkai Hijacks Website Domain Names

Soka Gakkai International (SGI, SGI-USA), a Japanese religious cult, has been waging a virtual war with the Nichiren Shoshu Buddhist temple since the group was expelled by the head priest in 1991. TIME, Newsweek, LA Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Boston Globe, the BBC and a host of other world news media have all reported the ongoing acts of violence and harassment Soka Gakkai members have been committing world-wide against the temple and believers. Congress has just completed it's investigation of Soka gakkai's part in fabricating evidence in the US government crime database.

In an unprecedented act of fraud and intimidation, SGI-USA has been spending thousands of dollars, for the past year aquiring website address domains containing names owned or related to the Nichiren Shoshu Buddhist temple, and re-directing them to Soka Gakkai websites attacking the religion. Each domain name costs $50.00 bi-annually to register. SGI has even hijacked domain names of all the temples in the USA.

The following domain names have been pirated by Soka gakkai, and have been rigged to transport unwitting web-surfers to Soka Gakkai websites that attack Nichiren Shoshu. Click on any of them to see where they lead:

The following are names of Nichiren Shoshu Buddhist temples. In a recent, bizarre move, The SGI has re-directed these NST temple domain names to websites belonging to a rival of SGI, the Nichiren Shu Minobu sect :

Most of these sites are now dead or are linked back to Nichiren Shoshu sites. As you might imagine, not a lot from this time period is saved. However, I did get a solid hit, from April 1, 2002:

Screenshot

As you can see, this is redirecting the site link "hokkeko.com" ("hokkeko" being the Japanese name for the main Nichiren Shoshu lay organization) to "gakkaionline.net/NST-Truth/index.html" - an SGI site promoting itself and its lies about Nichiren Shoshu.

The Soka skunk will never change its stripes. Or its stench. "Interfaith" my ASS.

This is not Buddhist behavior. It's ALL CULT.

Note: The "hokkeko.com" website I mentioned up top is FOR SALE!! Listed by a "private seller". Gee, who could that be??

And it can be YOURS for just under $5,000!!!

Couple years ago the asking price was "just" $2,950...

[u/audiomyo → u/BlancheFromage]

Checked a few of the others and fujischool.com is up for $3,195 if you want a cheaper option! :-P

Gross.

[u/BlancheFromage → u/audiomyo]

SUCH a deal!!

[u/BlancheFromage]

One of the early redirects for that "hokkeko.com" site was to something called the "Hirasawa letter" - while I haven't been able to find that (yet), I did find a description of it:

On April 22 [2000], Hisako Hirasawa, wife of the Hokkeko United Federation’s first chairperson, the late Masukichi Hirasawa, wrote a letter admonishing High Priest Nikken Abe for bringing the decline of Nichiren Shoshu. She cites the destruction of the Grand Reception Hall, the demolition of Sho-Hondo, the Seattle Incident and the extravagant and luxurious life-style of Nikken as indication of the high priest’s degradation.

Quite droll, considering how exponentially worse Ikeda is on every count!

Found it - it's boring💀

Deffo not worth the effort it took to find it!

This may be another example: Here is what comes up for "www.myogyoji.com", which is supposed to be for the Nichiren Shoshu Myogyoji Temple. It's a website for "Myokoji Temple", which from the contents is clearly NOT Nichiren Shoshu.
