This essay argues that policy execution and media-driven opinion formation halted Japan’s civilizational momentum, unleashing a darker international order marked by collusion and moral decay.

The following continues from the previous chapter.

A man named Shinohara Naoyuki entered the Ministry of Finance in 1975 and served as Vice Minister of Finance after Watanabe Hiroshi. In other words, when the Ministry of Finance launched the total volume regulation in March 1990—creating Japan’s so-called “lost twenty years”—he must have been part of the core execution team.

I, who had been told to remain at Kyoto University and to shoulder it on both shoulders, strayed far—so far that I was long considered missing from my beloved alma mater. I lived a life the exact opposite of theirs, starting with nothing. As readers know, I chose real estate brokerage as my profession and built my life as an entrepreneur from scratch.

Despite continuing to deliver performance said to be the best in Japan for a single small office, I—like all other real estate operators—came to taste something akin to hell. Simply put, this man was the cause. He and Asahi Shimbun’s economic desk reporter Yamada Atsushi, who led opinion-making to crush Miyazawa Kiichi’s correct prescription, were comrades. They were the men who destroyed Japan.

By their actions Japan was diminished, and the Turntable of Civilization stopped.

And thus appeared the present world of demons lurking in darkness.

As a result of Japan’s diminishment, international society became a chain of evil—a den of schemes.

Meanwhile, Japan became the devastated country it is today through the collusion of Shinohara, Asahi Shimbun, and Nikkei, which could be called Asahi’s kept companion.

That is to say, far from leading the world alongside the United States as a nation where the Turntable of Civilization turns, Japan has been kept—even seventy years after the war—in the position of a “political prisoner” by China and South Korea, which can fairly be called masses of evil, and by their accomplices such as the Netherlands and The New York Times, along with their spies.

The remarks of Treasury Secretary Jack Lew are also extremely suspicious.

I wonder whether the world is trapped in such chains of evil—whether the United States, like a big man lacking wisdom, is trying to cover up the original sin it committed against Japan out of petty motives.

If even the standards of good and evil are drowned out by profit-first thinking, then perhaps humanity has no future.

Not only China, still a one-party communist dictatorship in the 21st century, but even American society may collapse.

If the world is this ravaged by evil and obsessed only with making money, perhaps it is destined to vanish.

In a world so dominated by evil, might God choose to erase humanity?

Each evil is simply too severe.
