This chapter exposes the shocking fact that Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has used taxpayer money to support anti-Japan activists and NGOs, even inviting them to UN-related events. Such behavior would be unthinkable in any other advanced nation. The author argues that Japan’s diplomatic corps, dominated by exam-elite bureaucrats raised on Asahi Shimbun ideology, has long enabled anti-Japan networks and policies detrimental to national interests.

This chapter reveals the fact that the Government of Japan (specifically the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) has been using taxpayer money to support anti-Japan activists and organizations.
This is an extraordinary spectacle that would never occur in any other advanced nation.
Because the officials in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are merely exam-elite students raised in households subscribing to the Asahi Shimbun, they are capable of such absurd actions.

When I searched the name Uemura Hideaki, who appeared in the previous chapter, I found that this obviously suspicious man — whom I suspect is not a genuine Japanese —
was invited as the representative of SGC to the “50th Anniversary of Japan’s Accession to the United Nations Commemorative Ceremony,” co-hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the United Nations Association of Japan in December 2006.

If Japan had agencies like the CIA or FBI and I were their director, I would immediately begin an investigation into this individual’s connections with China and the Korean Peninsula.
I was astonished to see him openly appearing on Wikipedia.

Recently, I wrote that Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs had been incompetent and useless throughout the postwar era.
This fact was proven entirely correct — in an even more astonishing way.

In August 2005, in order to conduct open discussions between the Japanese government and NGOs on UN reform, a new framework called the “Public Forum on UN Reform” was launched jointly by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Japan International Volunteer Center (Takahashi Kiyotaka), and Peace Boat (Kawasaki Tetsu).
This forum continued until its tenth session in March 2012, after which it concluded.
Its results and issues were compiled in an external evaluation report in March 2013 by Professor Endo Seiji of Seikei University, and posted on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website.

In December 2006, this same man was invited again — to the “50th Anniversary of Japan’s Accession to the UN Commemorative Ceremony” as the representative of SGC.

At the same time, I also found articles strongly suggesting that he was the mastermind who invited Mozambican farmers and an elderly Norwegian to Japan to stage anti-Abe activities.

In September 1993, together with NGOs and various individuals, he invited Rigoberta Menchú Tum — the 1992 Nobel Peace Prize laureate and 1993 UN Goodwill Ambassador for the International Year of the World’s Indigenous People — to Japan.
