An article that seems to prove beyond doubt that Masayoshi Son has not the slightest trace of patriotism toward Japan
April 2, 2016

There was an article on the internet that seemed to prove, quite plainly, that Masayoshi Son has not even the faintest sense of patriotism toward Japan.

And yet, Naoto Kan and the Asahi Shimbun, falling for the rhetoric of such a man, utterly dismantled Japan’s energy policy—an essential pillar of national security—in just one night.

Meanwhile, looking on at such a foolish Japan, South Korea and China made official decisions—at precisely the same time—to pursue policies that were the exact opposite of Japan’s: the massive expansion of nuclear power.

And all the while, they watched with smug grins as Japan enacted ludicrous policies such as agreeing to purchase solar power—produced by the company founded by Masayoshi Son—at twice the global market price for twenty years, all at the public’s expense.

To make matters worse, all 19 of the new nuclear power plants to be built in South Korea are set to be located along the Sea of Japan.

Then there’s the absurdity of ethnic Koreans accusing Japan of hate speech at the United Nations—speech allegedly committed by other ethnic Koreans—resulting in UNESCO (to which Japan continues to make the largest financial contribution) issuing human rights recommendations to Japan. I mention this only to highlight how preposterous the situation has become.

In this context, we must revisit their persistent slogan: “Learn from Germany.”

But in today’s Germany—unknown to the vast majority of the Japanese public and known only to obscure fringe groups and people of unclear background such as the Democratic Party’s Yoshifu Arita—there is not just a fringe group, but a legitimate political party engaging in hate speech on par with that of neo-Nazis.

The German upper house even filed a lawsuit seeking to have that party declared illegal. But even so, not a single German citizen has ever gone running to the United Nations to denounce their own country.

I searched for this information to show both Japan and the world this crucial fact.

In doing so, I also discovered that Germany had long ago outlawed the German Communist Party.

That is when I proposed—based precisely on “Learn from Germany,” and as the first in the world to do so—that the Japanese Communist Party should be immediately declared illegal.

Every time I see articles like the one referenced earlier, I am convinced once again that this proposal was a Nobel Prize–worthy discovery.

Everything the Communist Party does boils down to dictatorship. Within their own country, they impose censorship; toward other countries, they seek only to divide national opinion.

I may have strayed slightly from my main point, but the article referenced at the beginning will be introduced in the next chapter.
