China must have been displeased with the progress of the TPP.
South Korea, which at the time was working with China and persistently conducting fierce anti-Japan propaganda, particularly in the United States, must also have been displeased that Japan was demonstrating to the world capabilities on a par with those of the United States.
Today, following Minister Amari’s resignation, LDP Secretary-General Tanigaki spoke into a microphone and expressed concern about the impact on young people.
Indeed, beginning with this year’s House of Councillors election, young people aged eighteen and over will have the right to vote.
Until August of the year before last, politics in our country had been thoroughly weakened by people who did not engage in the practical occupations pursued by 99 percent of the Japanese population, but who, under the name of journalists, seemed intent on oppressing Japan and damaging the credibility and honor of Japanese people, past and present—people who were, in reality, traitors through and through.
When the true nature of the Asahi Shimbun was exposed in August of the year before last, it also became clear that this was precisely what the countries that had continued conducting anti-Japan propaganda had wanted.
Young people exercising their voting rights this year should know that, until August of the year before last, our country had been under the influence of people who were, in reality, traitors through and through: those who, as a result of GHQ’s brainwashing, had believed that weakening Japan was the right thing to do; those who became infatuated with Marxism or communism upon entering university; or those who had been students during the era of Zenkyōtō, of which today’s young people know nothing—an era that might sound respectable if described as university students struggling over political directions, but that was an eruption of violence no different from internal gang warfare… the so-called failed leftists… people with astonishingly unpleasant countenances who appear on TBS’s Hōdō Tokushū and similar programs, and,
the bare minimum of legislation needed to defend our own country… exercising the right of self-defense or collective self-defense possessed by every country in the world other than Japan (rights that the United Nations recognizes for all countries), to put a brake on the tyranny of Communist Party one-party dictators who have not only begun scheming to violate Japanese territory but have also begun openly displaying their ambitions for world domination, and of a country that has continued anti-Japan education throughout the seventy years since the war.
In response to the passage in the Diet of legislation intended to prevent their evil schemes from being left unchecked any longer,
the unpleasant countenances of those who suddenly began appearing, introducing themselves as university professors, attaching the ridiculous label “war legislation” to it, and publicly declaring that they would have it scrapped.
Those are the countenances of people who were remnants or sympathizers of those who committed every kind of evil—Zenkyōtō, Minsei, Kakumaru, Chūkaku, internal factional violence, ideological “rectification,” killings among comrades, the bombing of the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries building, and so on—things of which you young people know nothing.
You should exercise your voting rights with a clear understanding that these people have dominated Japan’s public discourse.
Above all, you should vote with the understanding that you are Japanese, rather than Chinese, Korean, or Westerners.
If you do not understand what it means to be Japanese, use your holidays to spend several days walking throughout Kyoto, visiting Ishiyama-dera and Mount Hiei in Shiga, and the World Heritage shrines and temples of Nara.
If you do so, you will not vote for people who seem intent on oppressing Japan and diminishing its worth.
