Written on June 25, 2019, this passage is a fierce indictment of the reality that Japan’s media and politics have followed the rhetoric of China and the Korean Peninsula while ignoring the weighty essays of genuine scholars and public intellectuals.
It sharply highlights the value of writings grounded in the deep reflection and long study of figures such as Hiroshi Furuta, the practical effort of submitting English essays to the UN Human Rights Council, and the negligence and hypocrisy of the Japanese media in refusing to cover them.

The miserable state of Japan’s media and politics lay precisely in the fact that they had followed the rhetoric of the Korean Peninsula and China, the true ringleaders of hate.

This is a chapter I published on 2019-03-05 under the title, The essays of genuine scholars and genuine public intellectuals are not the sort of things spoken of on television wide shows filled with fools and half-baked people… they are the result of forty years of study and sixty years of reflection.
A chapter I published on 2018-11-06 under the title, The Juche-minded regime in the South is intensifying domestic despotism in an attempt to bring unification forward. Japanese people must be cautious, is now ranked No. 12 under the official hashtag ranking “Mongolia” on Ameba.
In August five years ago, I stopped subscribing to the Asahi Shimbun and began subscribing to four monthly magazines, and only then did I first come to know a genuine master.
I pay my respect to him as the finest example of late blooming greatness.
He is the world’s greatest scholar on the Korean Peninsula, but in recent years he has deepened his scope even to the roots of the West.
This is an essay by Hiroshi Furuta, one of the greatest scholars in the world today, and it is a fearsome essay.
Regarding the days he spent on Korean Peninsula studies, he once said, “I wasted forty years,” and when I read that passage in a dialogue with someone, I burst out laughing.
He is also of the very highest order in the gift of humor.
From a certain point on, I began adopting a form—though it is arduous and difficult labor—of making each and every sentence into a title when introducing their essays to Japan and the world.
Needless to say, the essays of genuine scholars and genuine public intellectuals are not the sort of things spoken of on television wide shows filled with fools and half-baked people.
They are not barber-shop chatter either; each and every sentence is the result of forty years of study and sixty years of reflection.
That is because they exist infinitely far from the kind of thing one skims casually and imagines one has understood at a glance.
Still more so because they stand on a plane completely opposite to the contrived and left-wing-infantile “pretenses” of outlets such as the Asahi and NHK.
Even I myself often reread them and recognize anew how tremendous they are.
How much more so, then, for those who are mediocre to begin with and whose minds have been stolen away by smartphones and the like.
And yet the goo secretariat…
Given the current circumstances, it is inevitable that I criticize the Korean Peninsula more and more…
The UN Human Rights Council… its member states are truly laughable… it is composed, with China at the forefront, of committee members from human-rights-violating states.
Unable any longer to endure this hypocrisy, the United States withdrew from the Human Rights Council last year.
And then, the true treasures of Japan, working at their own expense, at last began a counterattack based on facts and succeeded in having a splendid essay posted in English on the Human Rights Council’s homepage.
This time, too, they launched a counterattack against South Korea with facts and had a splendid essay posted in English.
Yet the Japanese media have not covered at all this, one of the finest manifestations of Japanese conduct in recent years.
With anger over that fact, I first published their Japanese text.
The day before yesterday, I finally reached the English version posted on the UN committee’s site and began the work of making it known to the world.
Even the English text alone is probably unknown to the great majority of people.
Ordinary people do not go out of their way to visit the Human Rights Council’s website.
Still less do people who know only their own languages know anything about it.
And yet, just as I began the work yesterday, goo suddenly declared that I had exceeded the posting limit and made posting impossible.
I suppose goo is probably like media outlets such as NHK and TBS.
It is probably an organization weak against attacks from Koreans such as Chongryon and from villains.
Now there is Moe Fukada, truly fighting a lonely battle for Japan against the grave problem in the IT world known as “Chinese theft.”
Moe Fukada, a true national treasure who, in the words of Saichō, continues to illuminate one corner, has, like me, continued to suffer harassment such as suddenly having her search numbers reduced to one-hundredth.
The Internet is, in its essence, the greatest library in human history…
But it is also a world in which the worst elements in human history, abusing anonymity—mostly those from the lands of “bottomless evil” and “plausible lies,” or those carrying that DNA—run rampant.
After all, Syngman Rhee, as a condition for releasing Japanese fishermen who had been illegally and unlawfully seized and imprisoned under extremely poor conditions—truly the DNA of the yangban—forced the Japanese government to release several hundred Koreans who had been imprisoned in Japan for murder and other crimes,
and to grant them permanent residence in Japan.
As I have already written, the things the descendants of such people are now doing in Japan are enough to make one shudder.
When I sometimes see previews for trivial television dramas or films built around contrivances such as “his father was a murderer,” I have even found myself thinking that, in fact, all of these are being made by those descendants.
Such people are constantly launching attacks against me.
Their persistent attacks eventually came to dominate TBS and NHK.
Even though goo is operated by the mighty NTT, it is after all only a subsidiary, and probably no match for them.
In other words, Japan remained until August five years ago in a state where bad money drove out good, defeated by their specialty tactics.
Japan’s media and politics had been thoroughly taken in by their schemes, going on about moralism, the Personal Information Protection Law, hate, and the like.
The miserable state of Japan’s media and politics lay precisely in the fact that they had followed the rhetoric of the Korean Peninsula and China, the true ringleaders of hate.
