Triggered by the loud political remarks of an elderly man, this essay criticizes the Asahi Shimbun, Mainichi Shimbun, NHK, and similar media for producing baseless hatred and misunderstanding toward Prime Minister Abe.
It discusses Abenomics, Abe’s diplomacy that surveys the globe, Japan’s lost international presence under the Democratic Party government, excessive faith in the United Nations, and the malicious nature of NHK’s public opinion survey questions, arguing that postwar media have mass-produced foolish political perceptions that damage Japan’s national interests.

Because an elderly man was speaking in a loud voice, his words inevitably reached my ears… and I was utterly appalled when he began to say the following things.
This happened yesterday.
Because an elderly man was speaking in a loud voice, his words inevitably reached my ears.
“Politicians are all idiots…”
I thought he was about to begin criticizing politicians, so I listened carefully,
and I was utterly appalled when he began to say the following things.
“A person who should have been arrested is sitting at the top… and the opposition parties are no good either…”
He was criticizing Prime Minister Abe, who is now the most trusted prime minister in the international community,
but what appalled me was that this man seemed to seriously believe that Prime Minister Abe was a person who should be arrested.
Needless to say, he was probably someone who subscribes to the Asahi Shimbun or the Mainichi Shimbun.
Their editorials and NHK’s reporting are producing such unbelievable elderly people.
As Nobel Prize winners Paul Krugman and Joseph Stiglitz also recognized the correctness of Abenomics, Prime Minister Abe’s decisive economic policy, Prime Minister Abe saved Japan from falling into fatal deflation.
That is an obvious fact.
He also, truly risking his life, boldly developed diplomacy that surveys the globe, and revived Japan, which had been brought down completely and had suddenly lost its presence in the international community under the Democratic Party government created by the Asahi Shimbun.
Needless to say, for a long time Japan was overwhelmingly second only to the United States in contributions to the United Nations.
Japan continued to provide enormous funds far exceeding those of countries ranked third and below.
When the United States, disgusted by the corruption of the United Nations controlled by China and others, gave up on it — unlike Japan, the United States does not absolutize the United Nations — and continued to stop paying its contributions, Japan even bore that share and prevented the United Nations from going financially bankrupt.
Despite all that, because of the behavior of the Democratic Party government, which was itself a nightmare, Japan completely lost its presence.
The United Nations is, in the first place, nothing more than an alliance of victorious nations in the international situation of that time, created under the leadership of the United States as the greatest victorious power of the Second World War.
For some reason, it is probably only the Asahi Shimbun, NHK, China, and the Korean Peninsula that have treated it as supremely important.
Still less, nowhere in the world has any country placed the United Nations above its own nation except the Asahi Shimbun, NHK, and the political operators and so-called cultured people influenced by them.
For China and South Korea, the United Nations is nothing more than an institution to be used for their own convenience.
Needless to say, the elderly man mentioned at the beginning is an uncultured and unintelligent man.
Even when he was active in society, he was certainly not the kind of person who would have been given any responsible post.
People of this level say, without the slightest doubt, things such as “politicians are all idiots.”
To make matters worse, he even says that Prime Minister Abe naturally ought to be arrested.
Who created such elderly people who are the very height of foolishness?
The Asahi Shimbun, which exists on the subscriptions of such foolish people.
There are no people more malicious than the employees of the Asahi Shimbun.
That is because they not only make their living from such fools, but while continuing to embolden them,
they repeatedly attack the government based on the lowest and most malicious possible delusion: that the people are stupid, that the politicians chosen by those stupid people are also stupid,
and that the only ones who are not stupid are themselves.
In doing so, they have greatly weakened Japan’s national strength.
NHK’s public opinion surveys have also mass-produced such truly foolish elderly people.
In the opinion surveys they conduct frequently, there is an item that they still do not remove…
or rather, perhaps the people who control NHK’s news department conduct these public opinion surveys because they want to announce this very thing.
The first reason they ask for not supporting the administration is the truly unbelievable item, “I cannot trust his personality.”
Anyone who is a decent person can understand Prime Minister Abe’s exceptionally good character,
the goodness of a person raised in a good family and loved by his parents and grandparents, and he possesses it perfectly.
Yet with brains raised on the Asahi Shimbun, filled with a masochistic view of history and anti-Japanese ideology, in an organization full of embezzlers, molesters, and female employees busy with group dates,
and not only with Chinese state broadcasting placed inside its headquarters, but with countless Chinese government-related agencies around NHK headquarters,
the people who control NHK’s news department, completely under China’s influence operations,
set up the item “I cannot trust his personality” regarding Prime Minister Abe, ask fewer than 2,000 people by telephone,
and, every time, without fail, announce it on the 7 p.m. news and Watch 9.
“I cannot trust his personality.”
This is despite the fact that, from a certain point onward, they have not announced at all that the approval rating of the Constitutional Democratic Party is around five percent.
It is precisely this kind of NHK that has produced truly foolish elderly people like the one at the beginning — elderly people who damage the national interest.
