This essay dismantles the media cliché of “American decline,” arguing that the United States is not losing its core power.
Through critiques of TPP coverage and media pseudo-moralism, it shows how superficial narratives manufacture the illusion of decay rather than describing reality.

Because the truth is that American national power is not declining.
Until August two years ago, I was one of the most thorough readers of newspapers.
Since then, however, I have mostly skimmed them.
The reason goes without saying: by reading the Asahi Shimbun one can understand nothing of the truth; to put it metaphorically, the reality is that those who stood in the middle to lower half of my classmates, together with the remnants of student movements such as Zenkyoto, after needless study at universities dominated by Marxist economics, concealed distorted ideas beneath pseudo-moralism and produced essays fit for kindergarteners.
Now, yesterday I wrote that when the American tendency toward roughness—both in a good and a bad sense—appears in its bad sense, it leads the world to ruin.
Nikkei acquired Britain’s Financial Times for 160 billion yen and brought it under its umbrella.
In this morning’s Nikkei, a Financial Times article was given a large space that proved my above statement entirely correct.
＊〜＊ is mine.
When history is written about how American national power is said to decline in the future, how will the great failure surrounding the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) be portrayed?
＊I am the first person in the world to point out that this media cliché—that the United States is declining—is utterly mistaken.
Why is it that I can see through their foolishness?
Needless to say, it is because I am the person who conceived one of the greatest discoveries from the late twentieth to the early twenty-first century, the “Turntable of Civilization.”
For the next 170 years, the United States and Japan must lead the world.
I have also clearly written why China and India cannot assume that role.
As readers know, that is how I emerged.
China or India becoming the leaders of the world today?
There is no nightmare worse than that.
No person with sound intelligence has lived in order to bring such a world into being.
Those of you who work in the media world, engaging in the respectable profession of earning a living through words, must consider what a true elite is.
I intended to quote at length, but I will end with only the following passages.
The reason is that the truth is not that American national power is declining.
It merely appears to be declining when the American tendency toward roughness—whether in a good or bad sense—emerges as roughness in the bad sense (Trump would be an unsurpassed example).
When such roughness overlaps with the evil of pseudo-moralistic media, and when astronomical income disparities utterly negate the American Dream, the United States may decline.
However, if one knows that this would mean the world falling into nightmare and heading toward ruin, the media should not be able to recklessly write that America is declining or has declined.
But as I was writing, I realized something.
I see—everything is created by the media.
War is no exception; because the very mode of existence of media people is, at its core, an original-sin-like condition, they bring the world to ruin.＊
To be continued.
