Japan’s stock market has been reduced to a size that allows arbitrary manipulation.
Unlike the NYSE, it can be moved at will by foreign powers and speculative capital.

This situation is the direct result of Asahi Shimbun continuing to diminish Japan in accordance with the postwar indoctrination initiated by the United States to conceal its own original sins.
This fact, too, was first revealed to the world by me.
The world had long believed that these people represented Japan’s finest elite, but that belief was entirely mistaken.
They were, at best, individuals who ranked in the lower half among their peers.
They were also former Marxists and survivors of the radical student movements.
For that reason, they came to despise capitalism itself.
Naturally, they also held contempt for stock markets and finance, the very foundations of capitalism.
Because they despised Japan as a nation, such contempt required no further explanation.
Japan’s elites committed the grave error of continuing to subscribe to Asahi Shimbun.
In doing so, they too became participants in the degradation of their own country.
As a result, the current Tokyo Stock Exchange was created, a market that can hardly be called worthy of a nation that is, in substance, the world’s second-largest economic superpower.
This distortion, originally caused by Asahi Shimbun, has now spread across the globe.
The Tokyo Stock Exchange has become an extremely small market relative to Japan’s true economic scale.
Unlike the NYSE, it is now a market that can be easily and arbitrarily manipulated by Western speculators or, in the present era, even by the Chinese government.
By merely pushing the yen higher through currency futures and selling Nikkei futures short,
profits can be generated with near certainty in a manner that should never exist in a healthy market.
Those profits are then poured without hesitation into shadowy high-risk, high-return speculative arenas, generating even greater gains.
This unchecked greed has produced widening inequality and instability even within the United States, a society once sustained by the promise of the American Dream.
