While leaders worldwide seek strength and growth, Japan stands apart. This essay examines deflation, media behavior, and foreign influence as causes of this anomaly.

There is no business owner who does not want to make his company stronger and larger.

The same should be true of the citizens of every country when it comes to their own nation.

But Japan alone is different.

It is truly strange.

It should be called a spectacle of the world.

The reason Japan created the long-term deflation that countries around the world now detest as one would a venomous creature, and the reason many media outlets hold kindergarten-level thinking regarding national energy policy, both lie there.

Of course, in the case of the media, they exploit the fact that Japan has neither a CIA nor an FBI.

They also exploit the fact that Japanese media seek not to convey facts but to shape public opinion according to their own childish ideology.

It is also a major reason that the CIA and FBI of South Korea and China have sent many spies into Japanese media organizations, in various forms and by various methods.

“Learn from Germany”—what I learned by recently searching NPD is precisely what should be learned. It is no exaggeration to say that this single point alone is the only thing Japan should learn from Germany.

Other than that, there is nothing at all to learn from Germany.

The German parliament filed a lawsuit with the courts in an attempt to outlaw the NPD. Not only did it become clear that a person who testified was a spy sent by the German state, but because the German state had also placed many spies within the NPD leadership, the court was unable to issue a verdict.

All countries around the world possess a CIA. They even send spies into their own domestic subversive groups.

All the more so, there is no way that South Korea and China—countries that have made anti-Japan propaganda a national policy for seventy years since the war, for the sake of maintaining their regimes or preserving the lies at their founding—would refrain from sending spies into organizations and groups that wield influence over Japanese public opinion and policy decisions. Indeed, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they have sent spies into every conceivable organization.

Yet without understanding any of this, those who have consistently oppressed Japan with childish ideas are the so-called cultural figures, led by Kenzaburo Oe.
