My full name is James Andrew Arendt. Some people also know me as “James Japan.” I took that name for this website because I lived in Japan a total of 40 years.
Me with my wife Tess shortly after moving to Guam from Japan in May of 2018.
My interest is reading American and European history, especially 19th century and earlier Protestant / Baptist Christian authors, and especially about the Jesuit Order, the Popes and the Roman Catholic influence on America and the world. I believe knowing the past helps one to better understand the present. Some of my views about the secret government that controls the visible world governments.
I hope to point you to books written by good and honest authors who have done much investigative research in order to discern truth from the lies fed to the world today by the power elite. I hope to share valuable information you will hardly find anywhere else. Knowledge is power! The Bible in Hosea 4:6a says, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: If you want to study about the New World Order conspiracy, don’t just watch Youtube videos about it, read some books! “What books?” you ask? You can start with the list of books on this website.
I recommend 16th to 19th century authors and a couple of early 20th century authors such as Jeremiah J. Crowley and L. H. Lehmann. Their books contain the real history of the author’s day and not mere school textbook history which is often biased by the educators who wrote it. For example, on this site you can learn the facts about Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, and who really was behind it based on testimonials of people who actually knew Lincoln face to face such as Charles Chiniquy who wrote, ““Fifty Years in the Church of Rome” which is on another website I linked to. There is only one fairly recent book I recommend which was published in 1999, “Rulers of Evil” by F. Tupper Saussy. He correctly identifies the problem and what to do about it.
During the time I lived in Japan from 1998 to 2018, I used to hitchhike nearly everywhere I went to get to places I needed to go. In 2016 I hitchhiked to various parts of Japan, specifically to Aomori Prefecture, the Kanto area (Tokyo, Saitama, Tochigi, and Chiba), Nagano Prefecture, and the Kansai area (Osaka & Kobe) to work on various jobs to earn money to support myself and pay for the hosting of this website which is about $240 US per year. As I sit next to the driver who picks me up, I share with him or her the Gospel of salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ. Unlike North Americans or the average native English speaker, most of the Japanese people have never heard it even once in their lives.
Besides making websites, I am a translator from Japanese to English and vice versa. I translated a booklet into Japanese from Answers in Genesis called, Was there really a Noah’s Ark and Flood?. The link is on my Deep Truths website and the text is both in English and Japanese. If you know any Japanese speakers, please share it with them!
One of the categories on this website is named “Religion”. By that, I am referring to false religion such paganism, New Age, etc,. and not true Bible-based faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

TO realize what mankind owes to Luther for the work of the Reformation, we must look at what the world was when he threw down his challenge to the existing sacerdotal system, and compare it with the world as it has been and is, since.
