After realizing some things did not line up, I got help investigating my background and identity. Based on fingerprint identification and information from three countries' police agencies on three continents, I discovered I am a kidnapping victim. I was kidnapped as a child. I have escaped back to my country of birth where I am a national of this country. I need help from friends for a few months' expenses until I finish getting correct identification with my birth name. Then I can be up and running here with work more easily. Please donate and reshare. Help make this go viral.
The kidnappers torpedoed a previous attempt at a fundraiser that some friends started. Kidnappers act like they are concerned parents, but just as a manipulation strategy. Kidnappers try to prevent your friends from helping you because it is part of the kidnappers' control and manipulation strategy. The kidnappers have been applying gaslighting, triangulation, and other manipulation strategies to try to re-abduct me. They turned friends against me through lies and deceit. Kidnappers force a new identity onto you, and many times people unwittingly help the kidnappers because they think you are having an internal crisis. No, in fact I am escaping from a decades-long kidnapping.
At birth, I was given the name Zeami TAKEMITSU (武満 世阿弥). I born in Tokyo with fair features like green eyes, a rare and striking appearance different from the average in Japan but still Japanese. In early childhood, I lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA with my real biological mother for a few years while she pursued a PhD in English at Harvard. Then I was kidnapped across state lines in Pawnee, Oklahoma, USA and forced into the Brien name. I am also a veteran of the French Foreign Legion 2REP and was decorated for courage. After getting identified in France, I am working to return to my true birth identity in Japan and need some community support.
I hope that people will have a change of heart and help me. This is all based on forensic evidence verified repeatedly in several different countries. I was kidnapped. I need help getting on my feet. If you are just drawing conclusions from social media, that was a narrative created by kidnappers. Police have access to information that most others do not, and that information proves I am a victim of a decades-long kidnapping. Kidnappers will forge birth certificates, and lie and manipulate anyone they can, to control their victim. Forensic analysis of fingerprint records does not lie. It has been years of work to rediscover my real birth identity, confirm it repeatedly, and escape from the kidnappers' clutches.
Please do not listen to whatever lies the kidnappers are telling. They are not my real parents. Kidnappers act like parents, and they want to prevent you from helping me. I need help from friends who are willing to believe victims, accept me for who I am by birth, and reject the malicious fictional narratives made up by kidnappers. Please consider a one-time or recurring donation to help me, and share this fundraiser as widely as you can. Please make this go viral.
