Originally published on February 10, 2020. This article reconstructs a chapter first published on June 26, 2018, and introduces Masayuki Takayama’s column in Shukan Shincho. It critically examines GHQ’s policy of weakening Japan, the background to the Eugenic Protection Law, the responsibility of the Asahi Shimbun and the Socialist Party, and the postwar political problems surrounding Shidzue Kato, Ichiko Kamichika, Takako Doi, and Renho.

Thus, they imposed on Japan a constitution that left it defenseless, making it possible for even foolish neighboring countries to destroy this nation easily.
They also carried out work to reduce Japan to a small-population country that could be blown away by a breath of wind.
Takako Doi had long said that North Korea would never carry out abductions.
That was overturned.
I am republishing the chapter I published on June 26, 2018, under that title, with paragraph corrections and emphasis added within the text, except for the headings.
Masayuki Takayama is the one and only journalist in the postwar world.
This week’s issue of his famous column, serialized in Shukan Shincho, once again splendidly proves that my evaluation of him is entirely on target.
Readers of his books and columns must have watched the recent reporting by NHK and others—I had long since stopped subscribing to the Asahi Shimbun, so I had not read it, but I assumed it was the same as NHK—on the Eugenic Protection Law enacted after the war, in a tone suggesting that they themselves had absolutely no responsibility and that only the Japanese government had done something terrible, and many must have thought, “Hey, wait a minute… weren’t you the ones who approved and promoted it as well?”
Masayuki Takayama has once again made the truth of this issue perfectly clear.
Better Women
The Asahi Shimbun worships MacArthur as a god.
On the morning he was dismissed and returned to his country, the paper shed tears in its editorial, saying, “General MacArthur led the Japanese people onto the bright path of democracy.”
But MacArthur himself knew nothing of democracy.
He had censorship carried out extensively and even banned publications if they wrote the facts, but the Asahi pretended not to see it, as if it were merely a prank by their god.
MacArthur also interfered in elections.
He had a woman convenient for GHQ run as a candidate and had her elected by the prestige of the occupation forces.
That woman was Shidzue Kato.
In her autobiography, she happily wrote about the occupation forces’ maneuvering, saying, “A GHQ general suddenly came to visit me and persuaded me to run.”
In what way was she a convenient woman?
GHQ had a great mission.
It was to execute Franklin Roosevelt’s testament: “Confine Japan to the four islands and destroy it.”
Thus, they imposed on Japan a constitution that left it defenseless, making it possible for even foolish neighboring countries to destroy this nation easily.
They also carried out work to reduce Japan to a small-population country that could be blown away by a breath of wind.
That was to spread the idea of “liberating women from childbirth and letting them enjoy sex”（Margaret Sanger）.
If women did not give birth, Japan’s population would decline.
Fortunately, Japan conveniently had Shidzue Kato, Sanger’s beloved disciple.
So they sent her into the House of Representatives and had her legalize abortion, as recommended by GHQ.
However, Shidzue was more cold-blooded and ruthless than expected.
In addition to abortion, she also put into law the “thinning out of bad genes,” such as mental illness and intellectual disability.
Many Japanese people were horrified, but with the cooperation of the Socialist Party and the Asahi, both fawning on GHQ, the Eugenic Protection Law was enacted in 1948.
Social morals collapsed, seven out of seventeen pregnant women had abortions, and parents with abnormal children were made to take those children by the hand and bring them to sterilization surgery.
Now, the descendants of the party that promoted that devilish law and the Asahi Shimbun are loudly condemning forced sterilization.
They think they can deceive people about the past by shouting loudly.
They are a sly lot.
Those agents of GHQ also tried to destroy Japan’s sexual morals.
Japan had a traditional courtesan-quarter culture.
It purified what was otherwise merely a world of filth, provided material for rakugo and joruri, and nurtured many literary figures.
The courtesan-quarter culture, which still lives in today’s language in expressions such as “first sexual experience” and “self-satisfaction,” went through several reforms from the Edo period onward and changed into a workplace friendly to women（Hiroshi Sekine, Novel History of Yoshiwara）.
Female legislators came to destroy it.
Ichiko Kamichika, despite being a former convict, lined up beautiful-sounding words like a saint and finally blew out the light of the traditional Yoshiwara.
After that, foreign Korean bars and the like spread ugly and rampant.
Yet the foolish Asahi Shimbun still says that Takako Doi is a model female legislator.
One day, the parents of Keiko Arimoto came to visit her.
They said that they had received a letter and a photograph from their daughter saying, “I was abducted by North Korea.”
Takako Doi had long said that North Korea would never carry out abductions.
That was overturned.
If this woman had been a fine legislator, she would immediately have announced North Korea’s evil deeds and appealed to the world about the North’s violation of sovereignty.
But this woman told the parents not to say anything to anyone.
When the parents could no longer wait, Kim Jong Il admitted the abductions, and then notified them that “Keiko Arimoto had died.”
The date of death was only two months after the parents had visited Takako Doi.
It can even be seen as if someone had informed on them and evidence had been destroyed.
Renho was a dual-nationality legislator, something prohibited by law, and she said she had no attachment to Japan and was using Japanese nationality because it was convenient.
Recently she has interfered in the sexual harassment issue and accused Japanese men of quickly committing sexual harassment.
In public, she said of Katsuya Okada, “He really is a boring man.”
This, rather, is sexual harassment itself, without any room for excuse.
Renho says it was a joke, but it does not even qualify as a joke.
A Candidate Gender Equality Law was enacted to increase the number of female legislators.
Until now, there have been many spiritually ugly women who thought it was enough to be politicians who did not need to know Japan’s language or heart, and only had to flatter China and Korea.
We have had enough of ugly women.
Beautiful people would be better.
