This commentary criticizes a Democratic Party of Japan legislator who described a disputed plot of land as “a good residential area” during the early stages of the Moritomo Gakuen scandal. The author counters that the land was “worth next to nothing,” and condemns the use of blatant falsehoods in Parliament as a tool for attacking the Japanese government—effectively aiding Chinese and Korean anti-Japan propaganda. The piece argues that certain Japanese voters and politicians have been manipulated or indoctrinated by foreign influence and domestic media, particularly the Asahi Shimbun, constituting an unprecedented betrayal in Japan’s 2,600-year history. The author urges both Japanese citizens and the international community to recognize the severity of this political degradation.

It is well known to readers that I loudly declared, like Nobunaga himself, that this land was worth next to nothing and that no fool would choose to live in such a place.
Last year, when the Moritomo issue was first raised in the Diet, I happened to be watching the live broadcast.
At that time, a legislator from the Democratic Party of Japan—someone who would look far more suitable wearing a tenugui and performing the Yasugibushi loach-scooping dance—brazenly claimed that this land was “a good residential area.”
In response to this, I declared in a booming voice that the land was worth next to nothing and that no one foolish enough would ever choose to live there, as readers already know.
People who elect individuals capable of spouting such blatant falsehoods in the Diet to attack the government—that is, to attack the nation—are on par with those in Osaka who elected Kiyomi Tsujimoto.
They are not only at the lowest level as Japanese citizens but can no longer even be called Japanese.
They are people completely manipulated by Chinese or Korean intelligence operations, or brainwashed by the Asahi Shimbun.
What they are doing is hating Japan, defaming Japan, and attempting to place Japan in a politically captive position in the international community for the benefit of Chinese and Korean anti-Japan propaganda.
The time has long come for the Japanese people and the entire world to recognize that this is exactly the kind of people they are.
In other words, they are a collective of disgraceful individuals who sell out and betray their nation—appearing for the first time in Japan’s 2,600-year history.
