This essay argues that postwar Japan functioned as a “political prisoner” in international society—an insight that explains why fabricated narratives gained traction globally. It examines U.S. original sin, UN contradictions, European acquiescence, media responsibility, and China’s “plausible lies.”

My discovery—that Japan had in fact been a “political prisoner” within international society throughout the postwar period—is, together with the discovery of The Turntable of Civilization, worthy of a Nobel Prize.

Those endowed with true discernment around the world must have grasped the magnitude of this discovery instantly.

For from the truth I uncovered, one can immediately understand why the issues of so-called “comfort women,” forced abduction, and the Nanjing Massacre arose, and why such lies—unthinkably—came to prevail in international society.

One can immediately understand why Japan has been so easily and continuously criticized internationally on the basis of these incredible fabrications.

At the same time, one can instantly see how foolish—and how utterly despicable—are the Japan Federation of Bar Associations and the so-called civic groups that, ignorant of the fact that Japan itself has been a nation persistently discriminated against internationally, go so far as to travel to the United Nations to press for condemnatory recommendations against Japan, claiming that Japan is a discriminatory country awash in hate speech.

One can also instantly recognize the extreme folly of media organizations such as Asahi and Mainichi that repeatedly provide supportive coverage of such activities.

The reason Japan needed to be kept a “political prisoner” in international society lay with the United States.

In the final stages of the war—when Japan’s defeat was obvious to the entire world except to the Japanese people, who were kept reading false battle reports from media led by Asahi claiming Japan was winning—the United States not only indiscriminately bombed 127 cities, but also used inhumane incendiary weapons to slaughter millions of civilians in a short time, and then went further still by dropping two atomic bombs, the greatest crime in human history, instantly erasing the beautiful cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and their innocent inhabitants from the earth.

It was to conceal this American guilt.

Because there exists the uniquely rare national character of the Japanese people—the only people in human history who neither protested nor demanded enormous compensation for this original sin—the United States has been able to continue presenting itself as the world’s police.

Yet, just as the world was ruled by the appearance of moralism that awarded a Nobel Prize to Obama, Obama himself could not see this truth that must never be forgotten.
His vision was completely clouded by pseudo-moralism—or perhaps he fell neatly into China’s cunning strategy.

In an act of unparalleled folly, he declared that the United States was not the world’s police.
At that very moment, China—a one-party communist dictatorship—and Russia—hardly an exaggeration to call a dictatorship under Putin—rapidly grew arrogant and began acting with impunity.

They began to alter and disrupt the postwar world order.
China, in particular, started to plot global hegemony—an act that truly fears neither God nor consequence.

Europe, led by Germany, did not criticize China but instead bowed to it for purely economic reasons.

That China has repeatedly said the following about Japan is something anyone with memory around the world should know.

China has continuously accused Japan of trying to alter the postwar order, branding it a historical revisionist, and has persisted in condemning Japan internationally.

The results of the fieldwork of the great and rare genuine scholar produced by Japan, Tadao Umesao, shine even more brightly like a monumental achievement.

His conclusion—that China and the Sinic sphere are lands of “bottomless evil” and “plausible lies”—continues to prove its correctness to the world today.

In the century of war, Japan—driven by strategies of powers such as the United States—entered into conflict with a nation even Nazi Germany did not dare to confront: the United States, then the strongest country in the world.

This was because Japan was a nation of warriors unlike any other, past or present.

Yet it is also a clear fact that those chiefly responsible for driving Japan into this reckless war were the Japanese mass media of the time, led by Asahi.

Slogans such as “Devilish Anglo-Americans,” “We will not desire; we will win,” and “One hundred million shattered jewels” were splashed across front pages to incite the public, pushing the nation into war.
Even as defeat approached, the media concealed reality from the people and instead continued reporting the opposite—that Japan was winning—thereby producing an unprecedented catastrophe unknown in prior human wars.

Today’s media have increased the number of Japanese who do not know that it was in fact the Japanese mass media that caused this tragedy.

They not only shifted all responsibility onto the military, but survived as model students who embraced GHQ occupation policies, and even now, to evade their own responsibility, continue dumping all blame on the military and waving a childish, kindergarten-level pseudo-moralism claiming Japan was an evil country and the Japanese did evil things.
