An Internal Reality the World Must Know
The individuals and institutions revealed in the previous chapter were largely unknown to the Japanese public. By translating the article in full to inform the world, the author exposes a deeply disturbing structure of falsehoods—driven by pseudo-moralism and pseudo-socialism—that has helped destabilize both Japan and the world.
The article in the previous chapter introduced individuals and memorial institutions that were virtually unknown to almost all Japanese citizens, myself included.

Believing that this was a reality the world itself must know in order to set Japan right and thereby set the world right, I translated the entire piece into English,
only to feel physically sickened.
That a scholar like Takami existed—
in truth no different from Seiji Yoshida,
and arguably even more malicious for claiming the title of “scholar”—
is something truly beyond redemption.
The same applies to a man like Shoji Oka, who called himself a pastor,
no different in kind from those who style themselves pastors in groups such as Sekai Kyūseikyō.
The grotesqueness of the Nagasaki Shimbun placing the nonsense and lies of such people on its front page
is exactly the same grotesqueness seen in the two Okinawan newspapers.
Following those two Okinawan papers, I was chilled to realize that a paper like the Nagasaki Shimbun—
one of the worst offspring produced by the Asahi Shimbun—
exists, masquerading as a pillar of respectability in the local community.
Because they coat their lies and nonsense in pseudo-moralism and pseudo-socialism,
their conduct is all the more malignant.
Even though this work is done without compensation, for the sake of society and for others,
it is unbearable to be made physically ill by it.
That is how extreme their depravity has become,
and it is something the world must know.
They, and those of you who have believed their words,
have halted the progress of the Turntable of Civilization
and created today’s profoundly unstable and dangerous world,
where “bottomless evil” and “plausible lies” run rampant.
