This article argues that the Asahi Shimbun’s long-standing ideology of noble poverty and postwar masochistic view of history weakened Japan’s national strength and helped embolden China. It criticizes the silence of Japan’s mass media, academics, and opposition politicians in failing to pursue the origin of the Wuhan virus, while also addressing the forced holding of the K-1 event at Saitama Arena and the subsequent lack of reporting.

The country that not only pays no attention whatsoever to the idea of noble poverty, which it is no exaggeration to call one of the Asahi Shimbun’s corporate creeds, but actually mocks it, is surely China.
The country that not only pays no attention whatsoever to the idea of noble poverty, which it is no exaggeration to call one of the Asahi Shimbun’s corporate creeds, but actually mocks it, is surely China.
In other words, the Asahi Shimbun has weakened Japan’s national strength and has emboldened China, a country that is now proving, to a nauseating degree, that it is a land of bottomless evil and plausible lies.
The so-called intellectuals who have sympathized with Asahi, the opposition political operators, the so-called civic groups, and the so-called human-rights lawyers.
They are the ones who have brought about the present disastrous situation.
This disastrous situation is a double and triple disaster.
Although a female researcher from the very institute has exposed the fact that this new coronavirus cannot be considered apart from the existence of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, journalists and scholars alike exist for the purpose of pursuing the truth.
And yet most of them remain silent, not only taking no action whatsoever, but not even speaking out.
The mass media are revealing day by day the fact that they have been penetrated by China to this extent.
But this great disaster caused by the new coronavirus has also made clear that the so-called scholars have been penetrated by China to a degree far beyond what we had imagined.
I, for example, have visited Hawaii around forty times, but as a matter of principle I have decided not to go to China or South Korea.
However, many of the so-called scholars must have visited China for academic conferences and research activities.
Most Japanese scholars, and I sense a similar atmosphere in the world as well, are not even raising their voices to try to determine the cause of the outbreak of the Wuhan virus and its true identity.
Even now, not even the genetic structure of this virus has been made clear.
It has not been reported even once.
Is present-day medicine really so poor?
Is this virus naturally occurring?
Is the level of science such that it cannot even prove whether it is something created by combining coronavirus with viruses such as HIV, the very sort of research that Shi Zhengli of the Wuhan Institute of Virology continued and even presented to academic circles?
For people to strut about saying they are doctors, and to appear on television under the label of experts and the like, is what the Japanese have long called simply ridiculous.
Since when did Japanese scholars sink into being servants of China?
Because they have lived together with the Asahi Shimbun, has it been throughout the entire postwar period?
Or has it been since Asahi’s Hirooka skipped even the shareholders’ meeting and stayed in China for one month at the invitation of the Chinese government?
After returning to Japan, he sent Katsuichi Honda to China at the invitation of the Chinese government, had him write “Travels in China” in accordance with Chinese propaganda, and spread the fabrication of the Nanjing Massacre throughout the world.
In any case, against China, which has brought such a terrible disaster upon the world, and especially now, when our own country has declared a state of emergency, with even department stores in Osaka closed, there is nothing more contemptible than the attitude of the mass media and the so-called scholars who do not raise their voices in anger at all.
To be shown such disgrace in the 21st century.
What could be more regrettable than this?
On the afternoon of March 23, I happened to be watching a wide-show program on Kansai Television hosted by Ando.
It covered the circumstances under which K1 was forcibly held at Saitama Arena with as many as 6,000 spectators.
In front of the venue, the governor of Saitama Prefecture was making his final request.
The expert appearing as a guest pointed out that after a certain period of time, meaning now, the number of infected people would surge.
Takeyama, a regular performer, raised his voice.
“Isn’t it already clear? Under these circumstances, isn’t it already clear that things will turn out exactly as the graph clearly shown as an analysis result indicates?”
The day before yesterday, thinking that perhaps this was the case, I searched for the organizer of K1.
As I have already written, it was exactly as expected.
The organizer was a person connected to the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan.
If even I could learn this fact simply by searching the internet, then the government and the mass media must have known it long ago.
That is probably why.
It is probably because the other party is the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan.
Although the result has turned out exactly as the content broadcast on March 23 indicated, NHK has not reported it at all.
Perhaps one should say that this is only natural because it is NHK.
The route of infection is unknown.
Is that really true?
The people who were at the K1 venue on March 22.
The people who, under those circumstances, went to such a place.
Those without money are probably regular customers of izakaya and other eating and drinking establishments that are themselves the very embodiment of the three Cs.
Those with money are probably regular customers of clubs and bars in Tokyo’s entertainment districts such as Ginza and Roppongi.
Journalists and political operators who cannot even understand such things have no reason to exist.
