This chapter sharply criticizes the media coverage surrounding Kihei Maekawa, the rhetoric of the Asahi Shimbun, NHK’s manipulation of public impressions, and the lack of a proper sense of crisis regarding Japan’s national security.
It is a forceful indictment of media institutions that inflame suspicion without evidence and use public money while contributing to Japan’s weakening.

NHK is precisely an organization in which people afflicted with infantile leftism make their living on the people’s tax money, use that tax money to weaken Japan, and go on producing news programs under the influence operations of China and South Korea.

This is the chapter posted on 2017-08-06 under the title, “Mr. Maekawa kept frequenting a matchmaking bar called ‘Love on the Beach.’”
It is an extremely important chapter that all Japanese citizens must reread.
What follows is a continuation of the previous chapter.
A parade of impression management.
Abiru.
Mr. Maekawa kept frequenting a matchmaking bar called “Love on the Beach.”
When pressed on that point, Mr. Maekawa said, “It was an exaggeration to say it was for investigative purposes.
I correct that.”
In other words, he had simply gone there for amusement.
But that point has not been reported very strongly.
Hyakuta.
Diet member Aoyama Shigeharu was questioning Mr. Maekawa about sex-related establishments, and Mr. Maekawa brazenly said, “It is wrong to report on such private matters.”
No, no, that is not so.
He was frequently visiting illegal sex establishments, and there are suspicions that this involved prostitution and the buying of sex.
This cannot be dismissed as merely private conduct.
Abiru.
If the head of educational administration keeps frequenting sex establishments, and suppose there is a gangster there and, by some trigger, he is threatened.
Then educational administration may become distorted.
As a human being, one must not do such things.
Yet because the existence of Mr. Maekawa is convenient for criticizing the Abe administration, the left and liberals say, “Mr. Maekawa is a good person, a saintly gentleman.”
That is opportunism in the extreme.
Hyakuta.
This is an Asahi Shimbun headline, “The Kake Assumption First, Suspicions Remain.”
This too is strange image manipulation.
Even though there is no scandal at all.
Abiru.
If one starts saying such things, then by dredging up now the fact that the Asahi Shimbun was connected to the former Soviet Union, one could report every day, “Asahi Shimbun, Suspicions of Ties to Foreign Forces Remain” (laughs).
Hyakuta.
It does not write “there are suspicions,” but says “they remain.”
That is a cunning rhetorical device in writing.
Those who were watching NHK’s watdh9 should remember that Arima and Kuwako were commenting day after day that “suspicions remain” and that “suspicions do not disappear.”
It is no exaggeration at all to say that those two and the people who control watch9 are traitors and enemies of the nation.
Because they keep repeating hypocritical comments in the manner of pseudo-moralists, the viciousness of their nature is all the more extreme.
In the midst of the ten consecutive holidays in which the Heisei era ended and Reiwa began, Kuwako displayed the full extent of that hypocritical nature… it was nothing other than the ugly misuse of political correctness.
At a time when China’s military buildup is expanding, and South Korea too for some reason is striving to strengthen its military and its defense spending is beginning to rival Japan’s…
In the face of such an international situation… or rather, the unstable situation among our neighboring countries,
what Kuwako spent a long time featuring at the very beginning of Reiwa was LGBT… children having two mothers… not being recognized legally (needless to say, because they wanted to say that it should be recognized)… if so, then they should stop proclaiming themselves constitutionalists and aligning with the opposition parties and Asahi, and instead revise the Constitution… and with minds unable even to understand such a simple thing…
they were using LGBT as a pretext to criticize the administration.
To such an extent that they cannot even understand whether it is proper, as a national broadcaster, to bring up LGBT at the beginning of Reiwa…
NHK is precisely an organization in which people afflicted with infantile leftism make their living on the people’s tax money, use that tax money to weaken Japan, and go on producing news programs under the influence operations of China and South Korea.
Abiru.
A Democratic Party lawmaker said during questioning, “There is no 100 percent proof, right,” but when you think about it, there is not even “99 percent proof.”
There is no evidence, but because there are doubts, they say to produce evidence.
That is impossible (laughs).
If newspapers truly think something is wrong, they themselves should search out and present decisive evidence.
That is journalism.
To say, “There is no evidence, but it looks suspicious, so the government must prove otherwise,” is unreasonable.
Hyakuta.
It is the same with the “safety” and “peace of mind” issue regarding the Toyosu new market.
For example, I drive a car.
“Mr. Hyakuta, is your car safe?”
“I try to drive safely.”
“But is it really safe?
Can you say it is 100 percent safe?”
Even if one is asked like this, 100 percent safety does not exist.
There is always some percentage of possibility that an accident may occur.
To use that as a reason to say one must not drive a car is unreasonable.
Therefore, with anything, there is no way to prove that it is 100 percent white, meaning completely innocent.
Yet by making full use of rhetoric, they can say, “suspicions remain.”
This installment will continue.
