Open borders led to the samurai's fall but not for the reason you are implying.
When the west came a knocking, it highlighted the weakness and complacency of the samurai ruling class. Even without jews, the elites fell into the same trap as western kings and had accumulated massive debt (to the merchant class) while the people increasingly suffered under high taxes and a caste system.
The merchants deposed the samurai because it was a convenient time to do so and public sentiment was on their side. The samurai where already on their way out, open borders just speed up the process.
it's wakey time for people regarding history. someone's fudged numbers and it's noticing when you've surveyed enough real sites or legacy media showing unaltered history.
the slaves get their minds wiped each time the preceding batch makes a huge leap. typically it would be a conscious leap. now we have chemical and biological leaps.
but still no good footage of the moon, earth, the sun, or ISS.
yes, daesh was used to destroy holy materials. as with the sphinx being recarved, statues have noses and heads broken off. all ties back—

Is this why IS destroyed many ancient locations a few years ago to hide "evidence". Or why America keeps altering their state run history textbooks?
