Prompted by a film, this chapter examines the clear principles stated in the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution.
It questions why Japanese newspapers never conveyed this fundamental truth to the public and explores its implications.

What is written in the Preamble of the United States Constitution is precisely the question at hand.
Now, let me return to the film mentioned at the beginning of the previous chapter.
As readers know, I was for a very long time a subscriber to both Asahi Shimbun and Nikkei.
Readers also know that, with the intellect God gave me, I read these newspapers thoroughly from beginning to end.
Therefore, I can state this with certainty, that neither Asahi nor Nikkei ever once informed the Japanese people of the fact that I learned for the first time through this film, a truth that is extremely simple and self-evident.
That is, what is written in the Preamble of the United States Constitution.
Emphasis in the text is mine.
The Constitution of the United States of America.
Preamble.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
The above is from https://americancenterjapan.com/aboutusa/laws/2566/.
Although the preamble of their own constitution so clearly states what is utterly natural for any nation, the reason why they did not include this utterly natural wording in the preamble of the Constitution of Japan that they themselves drafted is something my readers need hardly be told, as even senior officials of the U.S. government have stated plainly in recent days.
If even I was completely unaware of this, then there is no way that a single person belonging to an intellectually and academically deficient student group such as SEALDs could have known it.
From only the portions I have emphasized in the U.S. Constitution’s preamble, the foolishness of Asahi Shimbun and the so-called cultural figures who have followed it is perfectly clear.
Based on this alone, they have no qualification to call themselves commentators, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are people who have sold the nation and its citizens to foolish schemes.
