Viewing postwar Japan as a “political prisoner” reveals the structure behind historical fabrications, moral double standards, and geopolitical manipulation. This essay connects U.S. war guilt, China’s strategic falsehoods, and media complicity.

My discovery that Japan has, in fact, been a “political prisoner” within the international community throughout the postwar era is, together with the discovery embodied in The Turntable of Civilization, worthy of the Nobel Prize.

Those with discerning eyes around the world must have instantly grasped the magnitude of this discovery.

This is because, from the truth I uncovered, one can immediately understand why issues such as the so-called comfort women problem, forced conscription, and the Nanjing Massacre arose, and why such lies have been allowed to circulate within the international community.

One can instantly comprehend why Japan has been so easily and persistently criticized internationally on the basis of these unbelievable fabrications.

At the same time, one can also immediately understand how foolish and utterly despicable the Japan Federation of Bar Associations and so-called civic groups are, as they travel as far as the United Nations to denounce Japan—without even recognizing that Japan itself has been continuously discriminated against by the international community—claiming that Japan is a discriminatory nation plagued by hate speech.

It also becomes instantly clear how extreme the foolishness is of media outlets such as Asahi Shimbun and Mainichi Shimbun, which repeatedly support and amplify these movements through their reporting.

There was a reason why Japan needed to be kept as a “political prisoner” in the international arena, and that reason lay with the United States.

In the final stage of the war, when anyone in the world except Japanese citizens—who were being fed completely distorted battle reports by the media led by Asahi Shimbun, claiming Japan was winning—could clearly see Japan’s defeat, the United States not only indiscriminately bombed 127 cities, but also used incendiary bombs, weapons that violate humanitarian principles, slaughtering millions of civilians in a very short period of time.
As if that were not enough, it dropped two atomic bombs—the greatest crime in human history—instantly erasing the beautiful cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, along with their innocent inhabitants, from the face of the earth.

The reason Japan was kept a political prisoner was to conceal these crimes of the United States.

Because this original sin exists, and because there exists a uniquely rare people—the Japanese—who neither protest nor demand massive reparations for it, the United States must continue to present itself as the world’s policeman.

However, just as superficial moralism dominates a world that awarded Barack Obama the Nobel Prize, this indispensable truth was completely invisible to him.
His vision was utterly clouded by pseudo-moralism.
Or perhaps he fell neatly into China’s cunning strategy.

In his unparalleled foolishness, he declared that the United States is not the world’s policeman.
At that very moment, China, a one-party communist dictatorship, and Russia, which can scarcely be described as anything other than Putin’s dictatorship, rapidly grew arrogant and began acting with impunity.

They began to alter and disrupt the postwar world order.
China, in particular, began to plot for global hegemony—an act of hubris that fears not even God.

Europe, led by Germany, did not criticize China for this, but instead yielded to it for purely economic reasons.

What China has repeatedly said about Japan on every occasion is something that people around the world with functioning memories should know well.

China has continually labeled Japan as a historical revisionist seeking to alter the postwar order, and has persistently condemned Japan within the international community.

The results of the fieldwork conducted by the great and rare genuine scholar Japan produced, Umesao Tadao, shine ever more brilliantly as a monumental achievement.

His conclusion—that China, and the Sinic world, are lands of “bottomless evil” and “plausible falsehoods”—continues even now to prove its correctness to the world.
