This essay examines patterns suggesting ideological manipulation—linked to Comintern-style communism and Chinese or Korean anti-Japan propaganda—behind certain organizations and international actions.

A man who had served as the editorial director of Asahi Shimbun—a fact that is astonishing in itself—died suddenly in the bathroom of a hotel in Beijing.

I first saw this individual several years ago when he appeared as the guest commentator on Hōdō Station. As previously noted, I was struck by his abnormality.

I now feel that the Japan Federation of Bar Associations is also an extremely suspicious organization. By “suspicious,” I mean that it appears to be completely manipulated by Comintern-style communist ideology and by anti-Japan propaganda originating in China or South Korea.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the force operating behind the scenes—pressuring the United Nations to issue absurd “human rights recommendations” aimed at denigrating Japan, and even sending figures such as Onaga to the UN—has been the Japan Federation of Bar Associations.

In the issue of so-called “comfort women,” fabricated and spread worldwide by Asahi Shimbun, it was a lawyer holding a senior position within the Japan Federation of Bar Associations at the time who entrenched the outrageous and dubious term “sexual slavery” within UN discourse, thereby providing ammunition for attacks on Japan by figures in the United States such as Alexis Dudden and Mike Honda, who could scarcely be distinguished from Chinese or South Korean agents.

Regarding a murder case in Osaka involving a resident Korean that was recently ruled not guilty, Takayama Masayuki, the singular journalist of the postwar world, has expressed doubts. From the moment I saw that report, I too have felt something deeply unsettling.

Could these developments and the efforts to induce the UN to issue human rights recommendations against Japan be connected beneath the surface?
I am now convinced that they are.

To be continued.
