If monthly magazines such as WiLL, Voice, and Seiron had broader readership, major national losses might have been avoided. This essay reflects on the value of truthful journalism and the impact media have on a nation and its citizens.

In other words, these monthly magazines, averaging 750 yen, are worth a billion yen.

The New Year special issue of the monthly magazine WiLL costs 820 yen.

If this magazine had been subscribed to by six million households, the situation described in the previous chapter would not have occurred.

In other words, if the monthly magazines I have mentioned…those that now convey the true truth in Japan—Voice, Seiron, and WiLL—had at least the same total number of subscribing households as the Asahi Shimbun, the payment of one billion yen would not have occurred.

Thus, these monthly magazines, averaging 750 yen, are worth a billion yen.

By contrast, the Asahi Shimbun has inflicted an additional loss of one billion yen upon our country and upon our taxpayers.

Moreover, the situation in which organizations led by the Japan Federation of Bar Associations, raised on the Asahi Shimbun, carried out campaigns to disparage Japan on the stage of the United Nations could also have been avoided.

The “Turntable of Civilization,” a divine providence, had its progress halted by those fools…or rather villains and traitors…allowing one-party communist dictatorships and totalitarian states to grow arrogant and destabilize today’s world.

In today’s NHK news, what best conveyed the meaning of this development was footage reporting China’s reaction.

China’s attempt, in collusion with South Korea, to register the comfort women issue as a UNESCO Memory of the World heritage has dissipated.

In this respect as well, it proves correct my assertion that Prime Minister Abe is a statesman rarely seen in recent times.
