The Postwar Ideological Contamination of Japan—Left-Wing Totalitarianism and the Fabrication of the Comfort-Women Story

A comprehensive examination of how left-wing totalitarian ideology (left-wing self-righteous absolutism) infiltrated postwar Japan, and how Asahi Shimbun and other legacy media manufactured and disseminated the comfort-women fabrication.
Focusing not on individual universities but on structural flaws embedded within Japanese society and its information space, this summary traces the origins of the anti-Japan propaganda that continues to this day.

This chapter that I published yesterday, titled as reporting that praises such acts as if they were righteous actions criticizing power as evil, has ranked Kyoto University at 75th place.
This is a chapter I originally published on 2018-05-15 titled, “Song Dokhoe, a man who had absolutely nothing to do with Kyoto University, lived for years for free in the Kyoto University Kumano Dormitory.”
Kyoto University is a national university.
Its facilities are national property.
To begin with, the fraudulent scheme known as the “comfort women” issue was first ignited at Kyoto University.
Song Dokhoe, who had no relation to Kyoto University, lived for years in Kumano Dormitory for free.
At the end of the war, GHQ ordered people from the Korean Peninsula to return to Korea, but he ignored the order.
He did not want to return to the Korean Peninsula, which at the time had the worst form of social discrimination.
That must have been his true intention.
Song did not return.
He even filed lawsuits claiming, “I am a Japanese national; treat me as a Japanese.”
During this time, he deceived a housewife named Atsuko Aoyagi, a graduate of Kyushu University and wife of a Kyushu-University-trained doctor, and incited her to start a certain movement.
Back then, leftists who embodied the Asahi Shimbun — which in the last several years has proven itself the very citadel of mini-Goebbelses and sympathizers of totalitarian states — as well as activists and Asahi Shimbun readers who blindly worshipped the magazine Asahi Journal, flocked to this movement.
Song placed repeated advertisements in Asahi Journal, using Aoyagi as administrative manager.
It is now easy to infer where the funding came from.
Those who jumped on this were Yoon Mee-hyang, the founder of the Korean Council (Chong Dae Hyup) and now widely identified as an operative of North Korea, along with lawyers such as Mizuho Fukushima and Kenichi Takagi, and, of course, Asahi Shimbun reporters, especially those in the Osaka Social Affairs Department.
The scheme initiated by Song Dokhoe was used by these figures to attack Japan, causing immeasurable damage to the honor and credibility of the Japanese nation and its people.
In addition to the actual financial damage, the Japanese government — meaning us — should have demanded full compensation from all of them.
Because the harm continues to this very day across the world.
The movements to erect comfort women statues and conscript-worker statues — anti-Japan propaganda spearheaded by those raised under the anti-Japan ideology launched by Syngman Rhee — are part of a strategy to permanently place Japan in a position of political prisoner in international society.
Its objective is to weaken Japan’s national power.
And at every opportunity, to extract large sums of money from Japan — in other words, to defraud Japanese taxpayers.
The greatest contributors to this scheme are Asahi Shimbun and NHK.
Five years ago in August, when Asahi Shimbun formally apologized in Japan for this matter and the president resigned, we Japanese committed a grave mistake.
We should have forced the newspaper to shut down and compelled it to compensate for the astronomical damage caused by its fabricated reporting that demeaned Japan.
The cause of this entire scheme — which has inflicted incalculable harm on Japan’s honor and credibility — lies in Kyoto University, which allowed a person with no connection to the university, Song Dokhoe, to live for years in Kumano Dormitory for free.
Why did such a thing happen?
Asahi readers, citing incidents such as the Takigawa Affair, accepted without doubt the narrative that Kyoto University was the bastion of liberal academia.
Yet Takigawa Yukitoki, the ringleader, had been purged before the war as a communist harmful to Japan.
In other words, he was in fact an undesirable communist, yet such a man became president of Kyoto University.
When I learned this recently, I finally understood why Song Dokhoe had been allowed to live for free in Kumano Dormitory.
Even though severe earthquakes would not shake Okinawa’s sturdy reinforced-concrete buildings, Kumano Dormitory would certainly collapse and cause secondary disasters such as fires.
Yet Kyoto University continued to neglect it.
In a city like Kyoto, whose entirety could be described as a World Heritage Site, it is absurd for a national university to have preserved such a dangerous building for so long.
Only now has Kyoto University finally reached a level where it understands this obvious truth.
It took seventy-four years after the war for Kyoto University to finally free itself from GHQ’s intellectual yoke.
Though it still employs individuals who contributed significantly to North Korea’s nuclear development.
Recently, I saw news that students had filed a lawsuit opposing the university’s decision to demolish Kumano Dormitory.
The childish and self-centered arguments of those students reflect exactly the causes behind recent scandals involving privileged young people.
They said things like “The university has an obligation to support poor students.”
They claimed, without shame, that it was their right.
Unlike such individuals who enter Kyoto University only to emerge as left-wing infantilists harmful to the nation, I was told by my mentor in my second year of high school, “You should stay at Kyoto University and support it on your shoulders.”
But because of misfortunes God had given as trials — and the lack of money that results — my life became one that mirrored Le Clézio’s The Book of Flight, and when I finally reached Kyoto, I felt something.
“I don’t need a university.”
Starting from nothing, I launched a real-estate company in Osaka, built what may be Japan’s top mid-sized business, and contributed over 17 billion yen in taxes to the nation.
The other day I happened to watch a TV program where comedians joked about “Tokyo University vs. Kyoto University.”
They said Kyoto University students were poor because there were fewer companies nearby where they could work part-time.
But such talk comes only from TV stations drunk on their own privilege.
Most Kyoto University students fulfilled their academic duties properly.
People who file such lawsuits will never become individuals who benefit the nation.
Even as parents they will only raise children who assault police officers.
Their attitude is utterly indulgent, lacking even a fragment of noble spirit.
They lack the qualifications — as human beings — to call themselves students of Kyoto University, one of the world’s great universities.
If they are so poor that they cannot even complete their studies, then they must withdraw.
They have the intellect to enter Kyoto University; they can do anything.
Today one can start a company with just one yen.
With their intellect and PC skills, they could easily succeed in crowdfunding.
Instead of filing morally bankrupt lawsuits, they should all withdraw immediately and start a company together.
They could create a company that rivals Google.
Unite — but in the right direction.
If they continue as they are, they will become the kind of “human-rights lawyers” like Mizuho Fukushima who do harm to Japan, and parents who raise children who harm others.
When a female student said in a newspaper interview that removing the ugly signboards — which had long defaced Kyoto’s scenery — “made Kyoto University lose its character,” she should read this essay before calling herself a Kyoto University student.
Kyoto was built by countless great figures long before Kyoto University existed.
NHK proudly reported that a new protest signboard was erected opposing the removal of the old ones.
NHK praised this as if it were righteous action criticizing power as evil.
That NHK reports such things proves that just as Song infiltrated Kyoto University and manipulated a Kyushu-University-educated housewife, so too did many Korean residents infiltrate NHK in the chaos after the war.
NHK was a host and sponsor of the Women’s International War Crimes Tribunal.
Even now, NHK continues to collaborate with the Asahi Shimbun in reporting the Moritomo–Kake scandal on its program Watch 9.
NHK repeatedly broadcasted Kiyomi Tsujimoto — whose de facto husband is a former Red Army criminal and who herself was arrested and convicted for embezzling funds paid from Japanese taxpayers.
In any advanced nation other than Japan, she would undoubtedly be classified as an agent of the Korean Peninsula.
What I found absolutely worst was NHK’s reporting when Prime Minister Abe and his wife departed for a crucial Japan-US summit.
The so-called politicians of the Constitutional Democratic Party — all of whom can only be described as agents of the Korean Peninsula — let out a foolish “Ohhh!” in parliament because Mrs. Abe accompanied her husband.
NHK’s Watch 9 proudly broadcast this as if it were correct behavior.
What president of any advanced nation would warmly welcome a woman whose husband is a major Red Army figure and who herself resigned from parliament after being convicted of embezzling taxpayer funds?
Has NHK’s news division ever thought even once about this?
