This article introduces Professor Tsutomu Nishioka’s analysis in the latest issue of WiLL, revealing that the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye was in fact a “people’s tribunal” led by radical pro–North Korea forces. It exposes the media’s distortion, the political objectives of leftist factions, and the grave threat to South Korea’s democracy and Japan’s national security.

Had Professor Tsutomu Nishioka of Tokyo Christian University not clarified the comfort women issue, it is doubtful whether the honor and credibility of Japan and the Japanese people—so gravely damaged internationally by the Asahi Shimbun—could ever have been restored.
In light of this, Professor Nishioka deserves the greatest honor ever bestowed by the Japanese nation and its people in the postwar era for his achievements.
From his ten-page, three-column academic article, I would like to introduce only the opening section here.
For the rest, one must simply take 800 yen and head to a bookstore.
The issue is filled with articles that are truly worth purchasing.
All emphasized portions in the text and all markings with asterisks are mine.
A War Without Gunfire Initiated by Pro–North Korea Forces
Tsutomu Nishioka, Professor at Tokyo Christian University
The President Is Already Deemed Guilty Without Investigation or Trial
Does the Red Shift of South Korea Endanger Japan’s Security?
A True People’s Tribunal
It is a people’s tribunal carried out under the name of impeachment.
That was the impression I had upon seeing the National Assembly of South Korea pass the impeachment motion against President Park Geun-hye on December 9.
The Japanese mass media failed to convey the true nature of the situation and instead indulged in the scandal of an “anti-Japan president” who had continued to criticize Japan through so-called “telling diplomacy.”
However, what is now occurring in South Korea is a fierce “war without gunfire” that directly affects Japan’s national security.
In this article, I would like to discuss the essence of the situation that Japanese media have failed to report.
Put simply, the current situation is a “people’s tribunal” led by radical pro–North Korea leftists who collude with North Korea, and their objective is to establish a pro–North Korea leftist regime that will carry out the “withdrawal of U.S. forces from South Korea, abolition of the National Security Law, and federal unification,” thereby achieving communist unification under North Korean leadership.
All who possess true insight should immediately recognize that “withdrawal of U.S. forces from South Korea, abolition of the National Security Law, and federal unification” are precisely the same claims advanced by the two Okinawan newspapers, the Onaga faction, and their supporters such as the Asahi Shimbun.
What is truly critical is that the core of South Korea’s conservative forces—namely, the ruling party and conservative media—have averted their eyes from the true nature of the situation and have avoided confronting leftist incitement.
Conservative newspapers such as Chosun Ilbo, JoongAng Ilbo, and Dong-A Ilbo took the lead in attacking President Park Geun-hye and continued to incite mass mobilization for demonstrations led by radical pro–North Korea forces.
Spurred on by this agitation, large numbers of citizens who were not leftists joined the anti-Park demonstrations.
Intimidated by the volume of anti-Park reporting and the size of the demonstrations, the ruling party split and pushed through the impeachment bill, citing the media’s inciting reports as evidence.
However, private conservative groups and a small number of ruling party lawmakers are now raising their voices to protect South Korea’s liberal democratic order.
Although this is scarcely reported in Japan, gatherings and demonstrations opposing the impeachment have drawn more than 100,000 citizens.
The essence of the situation lies in whether the conservative forces can unite to protect South Korea’s liberal democratic system and block the establishment of a far-left regime.
Hereafter, I intend to report on the following:
(1) The true nature of the organization leading the demonstrations, the “People’s Joint Struggle Headquarters.”
(2) The dangerous background of revolutionary singer Yoon Min-seok, who created the demonstration’s theme song “Is This a Country?”
(3) Media misinformation regarding the number of demonstrators and the reason the impeachment constitutes a “people’s tribunal.”
(4) The assertions of conservative forces seeking to defend the liberal democratic system.
(5) Future scenarios and what Japan must do.
To be continued.
