In the Diet, Constitutional Democratic Party leader Edano used the phrase “looting at the scene of a fire” against Prime Minister Abe. Yet during the Wuhan virus crisis, while saying nothing to China and joining hands with the Japan Federation of Bar Associations and anti-Japanese forces to attack the administration, it is they who display the very conduct that deserves such a phrase.

May 12, 2020
This man, whose name is Edano…yesterday, in the Diet, unbelievably called Prime Minister Abe, now the most highly regarded leader in the international community, a looter at the scene of a fire.
The awfulness of the Constitutional Democratic Party is beyond toleration.
It is an evident fact witnessed by all Japanese people that from the end of last year, when the entire nation should have been building a defensive system against the Wuhan virus, until just recently, they joined together with the Asahi Shimbun and continued attacking the administration with something that was nothing more than a baseless accusation called the “cherry blossom viewing party,” or rather, something that should more accurately be called a fabrication.
Looting at the scene of a fire.
It is an evident fact witnessed by people around the world that China is now being condemned by the entire world for conduct equivalent to looting at the scene of a fire.
Regarding this virus, China’s own Xinhua News Agency initially described it as the Wuhan virus.
The WHO, completely under China’s control, conspired with China and, in a manner symbolized by giving it a name that concealed its place of origin, put a lid on the 5W1H that forms the absolute foundation of reporting and scholarship, thereby leading the world into the greatest catastrophe since the war.
The representative of the party mentioned at the beginning is a fellow like an overgrown schoolboy.
His hobby is apparently singing karaoke, and he is said to sing frequently in karaoke rooms.
This man’s name is Edano.
Yesterday, in the Diet, unbelievably, he called Prime Minister Abe, now the most highly regarded leader in the international community, a looter at the scene of a fire.
Chinese government vessels have repeatedly intruded into Japan’s territorial waters around the Senkaku Islands day after day, and finally began pursuing Japanese fishing boats operating there.
They ignored warnings for a while even from Japan Coast Guard patrol vessels, and yesterday, a Chinese spokesperson calmly declared that they had merely pursued Japanese fishing boats because they had entered the territorial waters of the Senkaku Islands, which China claims as its territory, and were operating there, responding to Japan’s stern protest with an arrogant and insolent attitude, like water off a duck’s back.
What country’s party leader is Edano, exactly?
Although in reality he is the leader of a party belonging to China or South Korea, the members of this party receive, not from China or South Korea, but from the blood-tax money of the Japanese people, effectively more than 50 million yen a year, the world’s highest annual income, and day and night they repeat attacks against the Japanese government.
This party is a den of so-called human-rights lawyers: Totsuka, who, in order to degrade Japan and stain the honor of the Japanese people, claimed at the United Nations that they were not comfort women but sex slaves, thereby causing South Korea and China to conduct propaganda in the international community; Hironaka, who spread statements as if Japan’s judicial system were full of defects, claiming that he alone was correct, and let Ghosn escape to Lebanon without taking responsibility; Mizuho Fukushima and Kenichi Takagi, who leapt at the comfort women issue and, for the sake of lying people in South Korea, filed lawsuits demanding enormous compensation from the Japanese government; and Yuichi Kaido, who, on every occasion, not only filed lawsuits to degrade Japan and attack the government, but also prepared and handed over materials for attacks on Japan to outrageous anti-Japanese Westerners such as David Kaye, who call themselves special rapporteurs.
At this very time, joining hands with such people, and moreover in an age when life expectancy is said to be 100 years and Japan is facing a shortage of manpower, and when, even in this Wuhan virus disaster, the country is on the verge of medical collapse and the state is asking nurses to return to the front lines because there are not enough nurses, Edano attacked Prime Minister Abe in the Diet as a looter at the scene of a fire over the simple matter of extending the retirement age of the Prosecutor-General, attaching the baseless accusation that Japan is like a despotic and authoritarian state such as China.
A foolish overgrown schoolboy, and in reality nothing other than someone who acts against the nation, this man is not a statesman but a mere political operator, and even calling him a political operator is too generous; the man is best suited to singing karaoke every day.
Edano.
“Looting at the scene of a fire” describes your conduct.
At a time like this, while colluding with the Japan Federation of Bar Associations and saying nothing whatsoever to China, to switch the target that should be called a looter at the scene of a fire onto Prime Minister Abe—what kind of Chinese trap, exactly, have you fallen into?
For Chinese intelligence agencies, a karaoke lover would surely be one of the greatest openings.
Did you not encounter, in China or in Japan, a Chinese kunoichi who had received the highest level of training?
The large-scale campaign that began on social media was probably a campaign whose ringleader was someone like Jiro Yamaguchi, who penetrated the system when you people were in power and extracted 650 million yen in Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research from the state.
The Constitutional Democratic Party now has a support rate of 3 percent among voters.
It is only natural that there should be three million party members and sympathizers.
The television media such as NHK, which report such things as if they were major events, and the 3 percent of people who voted for them, are people who continue to act against Japan.
