Republished! As long as Abe was alive and well, Japan would be all right—that was what the vast majority of the Japanese people believed.

The following is a rough draft.
It is an undeniable fact that the Ministry of Finance effectively controlled and directed the “nightmare Democratic Party of Japan administration,” the worst administration in history.
Furthermore, it is an undeniable fact that it would hardly be an exaggeration to call it the Eijiro Katsu administration, after the man who headed the Ministry of Finance at the time.
Mutsuo Mabuchi, who graduated from Kyoto University, joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and served in positions including ambassador before retiring, has continued to speak about the existence of the “deep state.”
The Davos conference, said to have been started by a German man…who, however, was the foremost protégé of the nightmarish, so to speak, Kissinger…now seems to be determining the direction of the world.
Some years ago, I watched a television program and laughed heartily.
I do not know why, although her father is a German professor at Kyoto University.
TV Tokyo—that is, Nikkei—in particular suddenly began giving prominence to a university student named Naomi Trauden, presenting her as someone who would lead public opinion with peculiar, high-sounding phrases about sustainability and the SDGs.
Recently, there was a television program that had me laughing out loud.
With this Naomi Trauden acting as a reporter of sorts, they made a program about Japan’s Edo period with the intention of criticizing and taking Japan down from the standpoint of the SDGs.
Yet Japan’s Edo-period society was so admirably sustainable and so consistent with the SDGs that it made a laughingstock of the kindergarten-level compositions about sustainability and the SDGs that these sufferers from infantile leftism had devised to fulfill their ambitions of world domination.
Even human waste was fully recycled.
That is why Japan at the time had the cleanest cities in the world and was the world’s cleanest country.
Naomi Trauden and the program’s producers, who had wanted to disparage Japan, ended up thoroughly embarrassed and exited the stage—that was the kind of program it was.
Many Japanese people must have been astonished to learn that the executive producer of NHK’s current historical drama, What Will You Do, Ieyasu?, is a Korean resident of Japan who has previously made statements such as “The Emperor can simply be called a king.”
No wonder Kiyosu Castle had that filthy appearance, they must have thought.
Now, those who know this background must be watching and thinking: I see—they are determined to demean Japan, which is why they have made figures such as Hattori Hanzo central characters and portrayed the Iga ninja as extraordinarily filthy.
It was only in March of last year that Japan finally ended its enormous ODA to China—the largest economic and technological assistance ever provided by one country to another, and something that could well be called one of the greatest follies in history.
Throughout that time, China was pursuing an extraordinary military buildup, dominating the United Nations, scattering money across Africa and Latin America, and working to expand its interests.
The climate-change issue that the United Nations began championing was a scheme devised by China and the Canadian international swindler Maurice Strong, with Al Gore of the U.S. Democratic Party joining in to turn it into a global movement. (Masayuki Takayama)
These developments demonstrate that Mabuchi’s arguments hit the mark.
The title of Yoshiko Sakurai’s regular column, which closes the issue of Shukan Shincho released today, is “Abe’s Memoirs: A Record of a Lifetime of Struggle.”
Quite a few Japanese people must have become convinced, from recent Diet deliberations and other developments, that the Ministry of Finance was actually the source of the Moritomo and Kake controversies that the Asahi Shimbun fabricated to attack the Abe administration.
Abe’s memoirs revealed a situation in which it would hardly be an exaggeration to say that Abe was, so to speak, a sworn enemy not only of China and the Korean Peninsula—the world’s only two anti-Japanese national entities—but also of the Ministry of Finance.
The book was based on extensive interviews with Abe conducted by Goro Hashimoto, a veteran Yomiuri Shimbun journalist, and had been completed while Abe was still alive.
However, Abe had held back its publication.
It is an undeniable fact that the stress caused by the persistent and malicious attacks from the Asahi Shimbun and other outlets aggravated Abe’s preexisting illness and forced him to resign.
It is common knowledge that Abe recovered, became the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party’s largest faction, and stood as the most influential figure in Japanese politics.
Many Japanese people hoped for—and were convinced of—Abe’s return to office.
As long as Abe was alive and well, Japan would be all right—that was what the vast majority of the Japanese people believed.
It was also recently brought to light that the mass media, more left-leaning than ever before, had manufactured the impression that the voices of a tiny minority of sufferers from infantile leftism represented as much as half the population.
They repeatedly reported that approximately half the Japanese people opposed Abe’s state funeral.
In reality, however, these were fabricated figures created by a very small number of anti-Japanese Japanese people, each posting an extraordinary number of times.
Amid the turmoil of the immediate postwar years, large numbers of Korean residents of Japan and sufferers from infantile leftism infiltrated the Japanese media.
Universities remain dominated by sufferers from infantile leftism even today.
It would probably be no exaggeration to say that many of those who subscribed to and closely read the Asahi Shimbun, studied at the “red” University of Tokyo, graduated from its Faculty of Law, and entered the Ministry of Finance have sympathies with the left.
The moment I read the above-mentioned article by Yoshiko Sakurai this morning, a kind of transcendent realization came to me.
The Ministry of Finance, in addition to China and the Korean Peninsula?
As my readers know, I have recently been saying that the Ministry of Finance was, in fact, the Asahi Shimbun of Kasumigaseki.
That the real perpetrators behind Abe’s assassination were the Asahi Shimbun, China, and the Korean Peninsula is an undeniable fact that even someone with the reasoning ability of an elementary school student can understand.
What those who created the motive and those who had every reason to kill him all share is an evil, twisted, and childish ideology.
Who could possibly have imagined that the Ministry of Finance would join their ranks?
To be continued.
