This article introduces an essay by Bulgarian journalist Miroslav Marinov published in the monthly magazine Sound Argument, discussing UNESCO’s registration of the “Nanjing Massacre” in its Memory of the World program, the background of Director-General Irina Bokova, and the political corruption of the United Nations and UNESCO.
It urges Japanese citizens who rely only on the Asahi Shimbun, Mainichi Shimbun, NHK, and related television programs to awaken to the reality of information warfare and to rediscover the beauty, culture, and civilization of Japan with their own eyes.

This is a genuine essay that precisely those Japanese citizens who subscribe to the Asahi Shimbun or the Mainichi Shimbun, and who only watch programs on television stations that are their subsidiaries, or NHK, must subscribe to and must read.
I am republishing the chapter I originally posted on November 3, 2016, under the title:
An Essay Titled “The Outrageous Career of the UNESCO Director-General Who Made the ‘Nanjing Massacre’ a World Heritage.”
I have many readers in Bulgaria as well.
As you know, I realized that the United Nations and UNESCO are made up of ignorant, coarse, and irresponsible people, and I have continued to condemn them as the very entities that must be corrected, and as those who are preventing the twenty-first century from becoming truly the twenty-first century.
A friend of mine, who is one of the most avid readers I know, knew that yesterday was the release date of the monthly magazine Sound Argument and bought it for me.
Needless to say, this month’s issue too is filled with essays that must be read.
I have said this many times, but all this costs only 780 yen.
An essay titled “The Outrageous Career of the UNESCO Director-General Who Made the ‘Nanjing Massacre’ a World Heritage” is printed from page 142 to page 151 in three-column format.
This is a genuine essay that precisely those Japanese citizens who subscribe to the Asahi Shimbun or the Mainichi Shimbun, and who only watch programs on television stations that are their subsidiaries, or NHK, must subscribe to and must read.
The author is Miroslav Marinov, a Bulgarian journalist from the same country as Irina Bokova, whom I have continued to criticize.
Mr. Miroslav Marinov.
Born in Bulgaria in 1958.
After graduating from the Department of Philosophy at Sofia University, he completed his doctoral course at the Institute for Philosophical Research of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.
After serving as an associate professor at Sofia University, he now lives in Canada and works as a freelance journalist, writing mainly on politics and social philosophy.
The following is an excerpt from his essay.
In recent years, Japan’s historical issues seem to have become the center of political conflict among Japan, China, and South Korea.
The fierce controversies over the “comfort women” and the “Nanjing Massacre” have gone beyond history textbooks and reached various international organizations, including UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, and the United Nations itself, and as a result, attacks against Japan have reached an astonishing level.
Do people around the world, including Japanese people, believe that the United Nations and UNESCO are organizations that respect all member states and are capable of making rational decisions that bring benefits to each of them?
This is far from the truth.
I believe that both the United Nations and UNESCO are highly politicized and corrupt organizations.
Readers may wonder whether the author’s opinion of the United Nations and UNESCO is correct.
Therefore, in this essay, I would like to focus on Irina Bokova, who, like me, is from Bulgaria, as a symbol of UNESCO’s corruption.
From the Class of the “Red Aristocracy.”
UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova is a typical child of the Bulgarian communist regime, and this makes Bokova, for better or worse, an interesting figure.
Leaving aside her personal character, Bokova and her father were senior figures in the Bulgarian Communist Party, and they came from a privileged class that lived in a world completely removed from that of us ordinary people.
Ordinary citizens had to line up in front of shops every day in order to buy the bare necessities, such as daily goods and food.
But the privileged people like the Bokova family lived in special residential areas enclosed by gates.
There, trucks brought in abundant foodstuffs and all kinds of goods, and everything could be obtained without any hardship.
Moreover, these goods were provided by the government free of charge or at extremely low prices.
The rest is omitted.
People who pay a monthly subscription fee of about 5,000 yen to read the Asahi Shimbun and watch news programs and wide shows on commercial television stations that are its subsidiaries—NHK often falls into the same category as well—can continue to lower Japan’s credibility and honor, and in this nuclear age, they can lower Japan’s technological strength, which is among the most advanced in the world, which means lowering Japan’s national strength, and thereby greatly contribute to the national strategies of China, South Korea, Russia, and others, for whom nuclear power plant exports are important state strategies.
Or, under circumstances in which it would not be an exaggeration to say that, in reality, they are being manipulated by those countries’ intelligence agencies, they may become Japanese people who serve them and their countries.
But the time has long since come for them to understand that they can never become people who contribute to Japan, a country that has preserved a culture and beautiful national land rare in the world since the beginning of recorded history.
If you want to know your mistake,
go to the most beautiful place nearest to where you live.
Those who still do not understand should come to Kyoto, Nara, and Shiga.
No, do not look at Tokyo through a person like Yuriko Koike, who is nothing at all.
Look at Tokyo, where Japan’s most excellent people work—the employees of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government are among the foremost examples of this—
and which, as a result, has become a city that may be called the best in the world without exaggeration.
Look at Tokyo with the utmost concentration and by mobilizing all of your ability.
Then you should understand without anyone having to tell you how fatal it is to watch the Asahi Shimbun, its television stations’ reports, and their wide shows.
You have believed the arguments of the most insincere people in this world—and they are also the most childish and malicious people in this world—
above all, the arguments of traitors to the nation beyond compare,
to be correct.
But if you sit in quiet contemplation at a beautiful place near your home,
you will realize how beautiful and proud a country Japan is.
You will realize that it is a country with a culture and civilization rare in the world.
At the same time that you realize this, you will understand that you had been influenced by them, even unconsciously, and you will bitterly regret it.
You will feel unforgivable anger and deep frustration.
You should instantly realize the foolishness of having been influenced by the editorials of the Asahi Shimbun’s editorial writers, the arguments of Oe Kenzaburo, and the childish writings of Murakami Haruki—things that may all be grouped together as pseudo-moralism.
