This essay criticizes the reporting stance of television networks, the Asahi Shimbun, NHK, and other Japanese media over the Kansai Electric Power scandal, arguing that the true perpetrator and the victims have been reversed in the coverage.
Referring to Shukan Shincho and the columns of Masayuki Takayama and Yoshiko Sakurai, it argues that postwar Japanese media, shaped by GHQ’s indoctrination, anti-Japanese propaganda, and anti-nuclear activism, have repeatedly damaged Japan’s national interest.

Japan’s literally finest players were toyed with at will by a major figure of the Buraku Liberation League, whom I have several times described as equivalent to a gangster organization.
That is the truth of this matter.
The Kansai Electric Power matter, which television and others have been gleefully reporting on day after day, is a case in which the perpetrator and the victims have been reversed.
Conversely, it also makes clear that, especially the employees of television stations, possess only a level of ability that could hardly be called journalistic.
They graduated from one of Japan’s finest universities, a university that is also among the finest in the world, joined Kansai Electric Power, one of the leading companies representing Kansai, and rose to become members of its management.
Japan’s literally finest players were toyed with at will by a major figure of the Buraku Liberation League, whom I have several times described as equivalent to a gangster organization.
That is the truth of this matter.
As usual, the Asahi Shimbun, NHK, and others…they are, in truth, Japan’s second-rate players, mere examination honor students who became patients of left-wing infantile disease, and yet, without even realizing that, they mistakenly believe themselves to be Japan’s conscience, and therefore they could never possess investigative ability like that of Masayuki Takayama.
Because they are people who are simply hardened in pseudo-moralism.
Because their minds have spent the 74 postwar years under GHQ’s indoctrination.
Because they are manipulated exactly according to the anti-Japanese propaganda of China and the Korean Peninsula.
They have licked their lips and leapt at this Kansai Electric Power matter as perfect material for bashing those in power, bashing Japan, opposing nuclear power, and opposing the restart of nuclear plants, and they are reporting it on a massive scale.
The result, as always, will be to damage Japan’s national interest and impair Japan’s national strength, and in this respect it is no different whatsoever from the comfort women reporting or the Nanjing Massacre reporting.
Yet they do not criticize at all the true perpetrator, the true evil—the manifestation of “bottomless evil” and “plausible lies”—namely the major figure of the Buraku Liberation League in Fukui Prefecture.
Shukan Shincho is not, for nothing, the weekly magazine that every week publishes, at its close, the famous column “Henken Jizai” by Masayuki Takayama, the one and only journalist in the postwar world, and “Renaissance,” the column by Yoshiko Sakurai, who is precisely a national treasure in the sense spoken of by Saicho.
That is why it has brilliantly cut into the essence of this problem.
In other words, it is doing the investigation and verification that journalists ought to do.
The United Nations Human Rights Commission must feel shame that such a great evil, wearing the face of a righteous man, has formed organizations such as IMADR and established an office in Switzerland.
It must feel shame that it recognizes such an organization as one that has the right to speak at the Human Rights Commission.
