Perhaps nanohana is now in season.
I have recently been buying and boiling nanohana frequently, and based solely on my own judgment, I had been placing it in boiling water for approximately three minutes.
Although it was still acceptable immediately after boiling, the portion stored in the refrigerator somehow failed to stimulate my appetite—it was not delicious.
On an impulse, I searched online for instructions on how to boil nanohana.
A recipe appeared instantly.
Astonishingly, it said that thirty seconds was enough.
It had not been delicious at all because I had been overcooking it.
I immediately boiled it according to the recipe, and the difference was like night and day.
The reason I write about something like this is to demonstrate the correctness of what I have repeatedly said—that the internet is the greatest library in human history—and to state that what prosecutors and police forces throughout the world must now devote their greatest efforts to is building a system that thoroughly controls and punishes the countries and people committing wrongdoing within the space called the internet.
We have already entered an abnormal situation in which both the police and prosecutors must update themselves urgently.
It is an unmistakable fact that social media is involved in many of the murders and other crimes that have recently dominated the news.
When I first saw a man named Hajime Takano on Asamade Nama TV, I wondered why this person was in a place like that.
At the bar of the ANA Hotel in Kitashinchi, which I regularly patronized, I twice found myself seated next to a table where he and Ryōko Ozawa were talking.
The conversations I overheard were always about bid-rigging by general contractors.
The other day, when I searched for Hajime Takano, I learned for the first time that he was the son of the Takano who had once controlled Sōhyō.
I see.
That explains why he appeared on Asamade Nama TV and wrote the Democratic Party’s platform—the Democratic Party’s absolute grand patron was Sōhyō.
Their calculation was that having the boss’s son write the platform would earn them even greater favor from Sōhyō.
And yet, how could such a political party and people like Takano…
It was only recently, because I had continued writing about it in this way, that I realized that bid-rigging had been devised as a means by which Japan’s world-renowned general contractors—organizations bringing together the finest people in architecture, engineering, civil construction, bridge building, excavation, and other fields—could always perform the work demanded by the social conditions of each period, in other words, construction meeting the highest technological standards of the Japanese nation, while simultaneously achieving both the full expression of perfect technical capabilities and profit from the standpoint of private, profit-making companies.
The entire world knows the excellence of Japan’s general contractors in every respect.
It is no exaggeration whatsoever to say that general contractors are the groups and organizations that most effectively continue communicating to the world the excellence of Japan and the Japanese people.
As I stated when I first appeared in this manner, Japan’s outstanding salaried workers are the samurai of the modern age.
Like the trading-company employees who have been my lifelong friends, they too are modern-day samurai.
What, by contrast, of the people working for organs of public discourse such as the Asahi Shimbun and NHK?
Are the members of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office’s Special Investigation Department, who undoubtedly use those organizations’ editorials as their own brains, truly modern-day samurai working for Japan and the Japanese people?
Far from being samurai, were they not in fact dangerous enemies within Japan and the Japanese people?
Would it not even be fair to say that they are in the palms of China and the Korean Peninsula?
The following is an article from yesterday’s Sankei Shimbun.
Targeting the Strongly Defended Nation of Israel
Hacker Group May Be Studying Infrastructure Attacks
It has been learned that a North Korean hacker group is launching cyberattacks against the Israel Electric Corporation.
Although no actual damage has been confirmed, a company executive described them as “extremely high-level attacks.”
North Korea is believed to be studying methods of breaking through strong defenses by attacking Israel, which possesses the world’s most advanced cyberdefense technology.
Concern is growing that it could improve its offensive capabilities and inflict fatal damage upon critical infrastructure in Japan, the United States, and other countries.
