I am publishing this again.
Essential reading not only for the Japanese people but for people throughout the world.
This column has published many chapters concerning the UN and related matters; from among them, I am compiling and publishing recent chapters, using approximately 10,000 Japanese characters as the guideline.
Trump is the greatest trickster of the postwar era, in the proper sense that the word ought to have.
The following single remark he made while serving as President of the United States is, by itself, more than sufficient proof.
“Why doesn’t Japan have nuclear weapons? (Why doesn’t Japan arm itself with nuclear weapons?) If one considers the reasoning behind that remark (even though Japan has neighboring countries that could not be more dangerous, including not one but two countries that not only make anti-Japanese propaganda a national policy but also continue to expand their nuclear arsenals).”
At the outset, I described him as a trickster.
With this single remark, he truly made clowns of the UN, the sham moralists, and everything of the Asahi Shimbun ilk.
With that single remark quoted above, he revealed that they were, in fact, fools who were nothing more than clowns.
[Passage omitted]
The same was true when the same Kyodo News opinion poll, conducted on January 30 and 31, asked about the government’s policy of relocating the U.S. military’s Futenma Air Station, in Ginowan, Okinawa Prefecture, to Henoko in Nago.
On this question, too, contrary to the left-wing media’s opposition to the Henoko relocation, “support” (47.8%) exceeded “do not support” (43.0%), but this point received little attention.
*Households that subscribe to the Asahi and similar newspapers and watch the news programs of their subsidiary television stations must also have been completely unaware of this fact.
Although Okinawa Governor Onaga won a closely contested election, he resorted to the sophistry of “All Okinawa” and went so far as to travel to the UN to repeatedly make remarks that disgraced Japan; his conduct was so appalling that it would be no exaggeration to say he had acted in accordance with the wishes of China and South Korea, which seek to divide Japanese public opinion.
How, then, did TV Asahi’s “Hōdō Station,” which had given him such prominence, report on this?
On reflection, allowing those people who call themselves the hosts of that program and the like to continue shaping Japanese public opinion brought about the growing arrogance and high-handedness of China, a one-party dictatorship under the Communist Party, and of South Korea, a Nazi state that has continued anti-Japanese education for seventy years since the war.
It halted the advancement of “The Turntable of Civilization” and created Japan’s prolonged deflation, reducing Japan’s national strength by as much as 1,400 trillion yen, counting both the gains forgone and the losses incurred.
What makes them malicious is that, during this time, while their annual incomes exceeding 100 million yen did not diminish in the slightest, or while the annual incomes of employees at their parent company, the Asahi Shimbun Company, did not fall by even one yen, and while their pensions did not decline either, they created a reality in which one in six children grows up in an impoverished household with an annual income of 1.8 million yen or less.
What, then, are the Japanese government, politicians, mainstream media, and scholars who never raise any voice of protest to the Chinese government against such outrageous education—that is, Nazism under the name of anti-Japanese education?
Are they Japanese citizens, or subjects of a Chinese vassal state?
What, then, is the UN, which has continued to leave this unchecked?
The person responsible for leaving such outrageous Nazism unchecked while reporting visits to Yasukuni Shrine—a place of remembrance for the war dead, something entirely natural for the citizens of any country—to China and to South Korea, which, far from merely doing the same as China, has continued to practice an even worse Nazism under the name of anti-Japanese education from the postwar period to the present, thereby prompting them to criticize our country, was Yōichi Katō, then a reporter for the Asahi Shimbun.
Katō proves the correctness of the thesis that “everything begins with one person,” which I have continued to advance ever since I appeared on the scene.
The Asahi Shimbun, which continues Katō’s conduct as though it were its corporate creed, is by no means a newspaper of Japan.
It is a newspaper of China and South Korea.
What Japan-China friendship can there be while China is allowed to continue such outrageous education—that is, Nazism under the name of anti-Japanese education!
What have the lawmakers who have belonged, or currently belong, to the Japan-China Parliamentary Friendship League been doing!
Isn’t the reality that they have frequently visited China to indulge in honey traps!
