The Disturbing Reality That Such Figures Dominate the American Historical Association
This article exposes the ideological bias dominating the American historical academic community through figures such as Alexis Dudden and Asahi Shimbun journalists, revealing the deep-rooted network involving Yonsei University, wartime tribunals, NHK broadcasts, and the influence of John Dower.
The outrageousness of Alexis Dudden’s conduct accompanies the astonishing fact that she is a university professor. Her career clearly tells us where the source of the abnormality in her behavior lies. There must be certain common factors among those with experience studying at Yonsei University, such as her and Asahi Shimbun’s Tetsuya Hakoda, who graduated from Ritsumeikan University and studied at Yonsei University.
It would be more accurate to say that she now acts as an agent of South Korea, which is in reality a neo-Nazi state. And yet she is called a scholar, which is unbearable. The outrageousness of the so-called Women’s International War Crimes Tribunal, organized by her and Asahi Shimbun reporter Yayori Matsui, together with the fact that such a thing was held openly and that NHK broadcast it with delight, is an utterly unbelievable reality for those who devoted themselves day and night to the world of business for the sake of Japan and the world. Even from this single fact, it is only natural that Japan has been unable to become a world leader while continuing to tolerate the spread of pseudo-moralists and former communists within organizations such as the Asahi Shimbun and NHK.
The fact that such people form the mainstream of the American Historical Association leaves one absolutely speechless. The man who created this school of thought by launching fierce factional struggles and seizing control of the academic circle was John Dower, whom Masayuki Takayama, the only truly unique journalist in the postwar world, assesses with the utmost contempt as a man who, while teaching English in Kanazawa in postwar Japan, also toyed with Japanese women.
Shuichi Toyo has treated the works of such a man as talismans to support his own editorials and, unbelievably, published a large special feature on the front page on January 4.
Masato Hara must have fully realized that the so-called cultural figures who had long been sympathizers of the Asahi Shimbun could no longer be used, and this time he used Professor Emeritus Keishi Saeki of Kyoto University to reinforce the credibility of his argument. As previously mentioned, I first learned of Professor Saeki through the monthly magazine Wedge provided on the Shinkansen when I was still commuting between Tokyo and Osaka and had a favorable impression of him.
However, now that Professor Saeki is being used as a talisman by an Asahi Shimbun reporter like Masato Hara, his value has fallen by a hundred yen.
