What Lay Behind the Letter Criticizing the “Conspiracy Law” — Questioning the Structure of Asahi’s Reporting and the Campaign Against Japan

This chapter sharply criticizes the Asahi Shimbun Digital report on a letter of concern about the “conspiracy law” sent by UN Special Rapporteur Joseph Cannataci, arguing that anti-government forces, left-wing groups, anti-Japan commentators, and Asahi’s own reporting stance were all involved in amplifying criticism of Japan.
Against the backdrop of what it describes as Japan’s vulnerability to espionage and influence operations, it denounces the process by which material damaging to Japan is passed abroad and then reinforced through domestic media coverage.

The Japanese people must also know that it is people such as the lawyer Mr. Kaito, the husband of Mizuho Fukushima, who are handing over materials that defame Japan.
Materials that are used to attack Japan.

What follows is a chapter I published on this day last year.
A state of being the greatest spy paradise in the world.
Where once it was the Soviet Union, and now it is the intelligence agencies of China and the Korean Peninsula, both anti-Japan powers, that freely carry out influence operations against Japan’s media, bureaucrats, so-called men of culture, university professors, and political operators.
In other words, against the very people who have shaped the policies and public opinion of the Japanese nation.
And when the Japanese government, as every country other than Japan naturally does, tries to correct this as a sovereign state, there are people who begin to writhe and stir.
People who are unmistakably traitors and enemies of the nation.
This is a chapter in which some of those people, led by the Asahi, are brought into the light.
Incidentally, the Japanese people must also know that it is people such as the lawyer Mr. Kaito, the husband of Mizuho Fukushima, who are handing over to figures such as Joseph Cannataci, a man who can without exaggeration be called one of the most hideous and lowest of men in the world.
Materials that defame Japan.
Materials that are used to attack Japan.

“Letter Expressing Concern over the ‘Conspiracy Law,’ Debate at a Stalemate.
UN Special Rapporteur Responds.”
May 24, 2017, 5:00 a.m.

“The fierce exchange between Joseph Cannataci, the UN Special Rapporteur and professor at the University of Malta, and the Japanese government continues over the letter on the ‘conspiracy law’ that Cannataci sent to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
While Cannataci expressed concern over human rights violations, the government protested that the letter was ‘one-sided and inappropriate in content.’
The argument remains at a stalemate.
The letter in question was sent on the 18th by Cannataci, the Special Rapporteur on the right to privacy, to the Prime Minister.
Regarding the ‘conspiracy law’ bill, he pointed out that it ‘could restrict privacy and freedom of expression.’
Special Rapporteurs are appointed by the UN Human Rights Council and serve without pay in the role of investigating, monitoring, and publicizing whether human rights abuses exist in particular countries or themes.
Regarding this letter, the government protested immediately after its publication that it ‘lacked balance and was inappropriate.’
On the 22nd, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga also responded at a press conference, saying, ‘This is an individual report and does not reflect the position of the United Nations.’
Having learned of the government’s protest, Mr. Cannataci responded again, stating on the 22nd that ‘the protest is nothing more than a string of angry words and has no substance at all.’
The opposition parties attached importance to this letter.
At the plenary session of the House of Representatives on the 23rd, Seiji Osaka of the Democratic Party said that this was ‘tantamount to being told that it does not conform to the international legal order.’
Yozo Yokota, chairman of the Human Rights Education and Enlightenment Promotion Center, who served as Special Rapporteur on human rights issues in Myanmar, explained, ‘There are cases in which views are expressed from the position of a Special Rapporteur.
This letter would likely fall into that category.’
He added, ‘It is not without impact, but it does not become the opinion of the United Nations as such until after a resolution by the Human Rights Council.’
(Ryota Goto, Ryosuke Yamamoto)”

Needless to say.
Joseph Cannataci, a professor from Malta, and at that the University of Malta, styling himself a UN Special Rapporteur.
Directing his attack against Japan, a nation that, alongside the United States, has achieved the highest level of freedom and intelligence in the world.
Clearly acting in line with the schemes of agents of China and the Korean Peninsula and of so-called left-wing groups.
And unless it reports on the manner in which the Asahi Shimbun, which can without exaggeration be called the mastermind behind them.
Has tried to attack and defame Japan by presenting this outrageous hypocrite, this man of the lowest order, Joseph Cannataci.
As though he were some international authority.
NHK has absolutely no value as Japan’s state broadcasting network.
