This essay criticizes postwar information control and brainwashing by GHQ, sharply questioning the historical consciousness of the Asahi Shimbun, NHK, postwar intellectuals, cultural figures, and lawyers.
It discusses the strength of the Japanese military, America’s incendiary bombing of 127 Japanese cities and atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the role of Soviet spies and the Asahi Shimbun in prolonging the Sino-Japanese War, and the distortion of patriotism in postwar Japan.

They believed 100 percent in what GHQ spread—which was, in the truest sense of the word, nothing other than rumors and false reports—and they were pitiful infants brainwashed by them.
That is the reality of such people, and of the Asahi Shimbun, NHK, and others.
This is the chapter I published on January 25, 2019, under the title: “The Japanese military was simply too strong; the army of the United States, then the strongest country in the world with overwhelming material power, must have felt that fact in its very bones.”
That the twentieth century was a century of war means that…
for example, completely unlike the so-called cultural figures who contributed to yesterday’s column in the Nikkei Shimbun…
all people in the countries concerned were involved in war in some form.
There is no end to the number of poets who volunteered to go to the battlefield and died in battle…
This is only natural, because there is no such thing as a true poet who is not a patriot.
But the so-called intellectuals and cultural figures represented by yesterday’s writer, the so-called lawyers, and NHK employees who calmly say that Japan colonized the Korean Peninsula are different.
The very root of their perfectly natural and obvious patriotism is distorted, or has been distorted, and has rotted.
What can be called bad wars are the Nazi massacre of the Jews…
the repeated massacres of their own people by China and the Korean Peninsula…
or America’s massacre of the Indians.
The Sino-Japanese War was turned into a quagmire by Soviet spies and the Asahi Shimbun…
and the Soviet spies who had ensnared the Roosevelt administration used this as material to create, all at once, pro-China and anti-Japanese public opinion inside the United States.
If they succeed in sending in five percent of their elements, they always control the organization they target for subversion.
Since propaganda operations are their supreme mission—because they have no other intellect—perhaps this is only natural.
At that time, the Soviet Union also infiltrated spies into countries where anti-Japanese public opinion was formed, such as Canada.
The famous Herbert Norman was one of them.
After all, when Lenin succeeded in the Russian Revolution, intellectuals around the world were deeply shocked because of the top-heavy weakness that intellectuals possess.
It was even one factor in Akutagawa Ryunosuke’s suicide.
For example, Deutscher wrote that the intellectuals of that time were shocked by the Russian Revolution.
The bright students in the studies of various countries saw the Russian Revolution as if it were an ideal revolution by workers.
It was understandable, because they did not yet know what communism actually was.
However,
the ones who repeated the mistakes of those intellectuals were Japan’s postwar intellectuals.
Yesterday’s “Oiso Koiso” clearly revealed that fact.
Who spread the idea that Japan fought a bad war?
By whom was Japan brainwashed?
Most of Japan’s postwar intellectuals did not understand a truth that even kindergarten children could actually understand.
It is presumptuous for them even to call themselves intellectuals.
Giving the Nobel Prize to Oe Kenzaburo was the height of folly.
Who spread the idea that Japan fought a bad war?
Needless to say, it was the United States.
By whom was Japan brainwashed?
Needless to say, it was brainwashing by the United States.
For what purpose?
It was to divert the eyes of the world from, and conceal, the greatest act of slaughter in the history of human warfare: the indiscriminate attacks by incendiary bombs on 127 cities throughout Japan.
Furthermore, Japan was made into the ultimate villain in order to divert the eyes of the world from, and conceal, the greatest and worst crimes in human history: Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
However, the facts that Takayama Masayuki, the one and only journalist in the postwar world, has truly verified and revealed to us are the exact opposite of their propaganda.
Rather, he reveals that it was Japanese soldiers who were gentlemen even on the battlefield…
and that they possessed the aesthetic sense and good sense cultivated among the Japanese people over 2,600 years.
In this chapter, I will tell the world the truth for the first time.
Why did the United States go beyond the indiscriminate attacks by incendiary bombs on 127 cities throughout Japan and proceed even to Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
Regarding the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, there was certainly a factor of racial prejudice in the world and in the American administration at that time, but
the greatest reason was that the Japanese people—the Japanese military—were so strong that they could be called the strongest in history.
Even when supplies were cut off, most of them fought to the death, risking their own lives on faraway battlefields in order to defend a distant country—the country where their families, wives, and children lived.
In truth, no such people had ever existed anywhere in the world throughout history.
Bushido was probably one factor in this.
The Japanese military was simply too strong; the army of the United States, then the strongest country in the world with overwhelming material power, must have felt that fact in its very bones.
In every battle fought by the United States, the strength and toughness of the Japanese military far exceeded their imagination.
The Japanese military was as strong as fierce gods.
The Japanese people, who in all human history had the strongest feeling of love for their country, their families, and their hometowns…
became, when it came to war, the bravest people in the world.
In other words, the Japanese people’s feeling of love for their country, families, and hometowns was so strong that no country anywhere in the world could come close to it.
That is the kind of people the Japanese were.
In one respect, this is only natural.
Because until the Second World War, when the plots of Soviet spies, the media such as the Asahi Shimbun, and the Roosevelt administration that had been ensnared by Soviet spies maneuvered Japan into having no choice but to stand on the side of the defeated nations, Japan had, for the first time in history, lost a war and been occupied and ruled by another country.
Until then, for more than 2,000 years since the beginning of recorded history, Japan had never been occupied or invaded by another country.
There is no such country anywhere else in the world.
The ones whose feelings in this regard are astonishingly thin are yesterday’s writer, the Asahi Shimbun, and the so-called cultural figures.
Oe Kenzaburo and Murakami Haruki are representative examples of them.
Oe apparently has strong feelings only for his own family and hometown, and for the Korean Peninsula, China, and the like…
and it is a well-known fact that he has intense hatred toward the real Japan, the actual Japan, apart from those things.
This is also clear from the fact that his name almost always appears among the initiators of movements that openly express hatred toward Japan.
In other words, their brains are below those of kindergarten children…
They believed 100 percent in what GHQ spread—which was, in the truest sense of the word, nothing other than rumors and false reports—and they were pitiful infants brainwashed by them.
That is the reality of such people, and of the Asahi Shimbun, NHK, and others.
To be continued.
