GHQ’s constitution—compiled in just two weeks by copying Western documents—was promoted by Japan’s so-called civic groups and even nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. This chapter argues that such institutions lack seriousness, while the only figure truly deserving of global recognition is Takayama Masayuki, the singular postwar journalist-author who speaks uncomfortable truths to the West.

Takayama Masayuki’s books are astonishing in every chapter, but the opening chapter of Part II is particularly remarkable.
He points out harsh truths to Westerners—truths that must be painful for them to hear—without the slightest hesitation, and for Westerners to avoid awarding him the Nobel Prize in Literature for that reason is an act contrary to world spirit, world peace, and intellectual integrity.
If they understood this, the world would undoubtedly become a far better place.

A world filled with slander based on lies and fabrications, a world in which pseudo-moralists and those who effectively assist communist dictatorships and totalitarianism call themselves cultural figures, intellectuals, scholars, or writers—such a world cannot possibly be normal.

Even if the Nobel Committee is so sloppy and unserious an institution that it would nominate Japan’s so-called civic groups merely because they proposed the constitution that GHQ created by copying Western documents in two weeks—a constitution meant to permanently weaken Japan.

Given how much the world has deteriorated, unless the Nobel Prize in Literature is awarded to Takayama Masayuki—the only true, genuine, and unparalleled figure in the postwar world—the global confusion will only deepen.

The main subject to be introduced continues in the next chapter.
