A newspaper that consistently belittled its own country distorted Japan’s self-perception. Without such influence, Japan could have recognized its rightful role as a global leader alongside the United States.

To begin with, if a newspaper like Asahi Shimbun—one that has oppressed and diminished its own country while brandishing a false morality of superficial righteousness—had not existed in Japan,

the Japanese people would without question have been able to recognize that The Turntable of Civilization represents a providential principle.

Had Japan understood that it is a nation destined to lead the world alongside the United States for the next 170 years, it would never have allowed the Tokyo Stock Exchange to remain in its current state.

As the only nation equal to the United States, Japan should naturally have directed 0.6% of its private financial assets—1,500 trillion yen at the time, now 1,600 trillion yen thanks to the efforts of Shinzo Abe—into the stock market, creating a market with daily trading volume of 12 trillion yen, where foreign capital accounts for not today’s 70%, but only around 10%.

The world would then have become truly stable, moving in response to both the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the NYSE.

Had my proposals been implemented, events would be the exact opposite of today: global capital would repeatedly flee to the yen as a safe-haven asset.

This fact itself proves the correctness of my Turntable of Civilization theory.

Japan, diminished by Asahi Shimbun and the so-called cultural figures aligned with it—the worst among them being Kang Sang-jung—cannot possibly be a second-rate or insignificant nation.

If Japan truly were such a country, there would be no reason for investors to place their money in the yen.

This, too, is a truth that even an elementary school student can understand.
