From the perspective of Japan’s legal framework and current international realities, this chapter argues that the actions of Okinawan local newspapers, university professors, and political figures correspond to crimes such as insurrection, riot, and inviting foreign aggression, calling for accountability.

That these Okinawan local newspapers and Okinawan university professors correspond to the crimes of insurrection, riot, and inviting foreign aggression is unmistakable.

As already noted, I had an encounter with Sekihei, who appeared in the previous chapter, one that can only be described as fated, on the very day this autumn when the maple leaves at Tofuku-ji reached their peak.
As also noted, these days I watch almost only NHK for news.
Regarding the recent, now plainly unlawful conduct of the current Okinawa governor,
I wrote an editorial stating that it is the duty of Japan’s public broadcaster to admonish such abnormal behavior by explaining the international situation surrounding our country and the harsh reality in which the Self-Defense Forces risk their lives to protect our land and territorial waters, and Sekihei clearly demonstrated that my argument was entirely correct.
When I looked into whether Japan has a crime of treason, I found that it does not, but that crimes such as insurrection, riot, and inviting foreign aggression do exist.
It is said that a meeting was held, chaired by a study group that can be described as tantamount to the state itself, involving Onaga and others mentioned in the previous chapter, and that Okinawan local newspapers and Okinawan university professors participated and engaged in lively exchanges of opinion.
One of the participating professors reportedly even declared on the study group’s website, “Our objective is not only Ryukyuan independence but also the complete removal of military bases from Ryukyu.”
That these Okinawan local newspapers and Okinawan university professors correspond to the crimes of insurrection, riot, and inviting foreign aggression is unmistakable.
We have long been subjected to the diminishment and denigration of Japan and the Japanese people by so-called cultural elites and so-called civic groups, but now is the time for people of resolve to immediately bring charges against them for the three crimes above, as grave offenses against the Japanese state and the Japanese people.
To be continued.
