A fierce critique of Western scholars and media hypocrisy, exposing double standards on war crimes, racism, and historical accountability.

2016-02-22

All those who, siding with people such as Alexis Dudden and Carol Gluck, foolishly proclaimed that the so-called “comfort women issue” was historical fact, and who went so far as to place laughable opinion advertisements in the New York Times as reinforcements for the Asahi Shimbun and their like-minded friends—the so-called cultural figures—must be ashamed of themselves.

What you did was no different in any way from the discrimination against Black people that you yourselves continued to practice until quite recently. You must read my essays with your eyes wide open and come to understand this fact.

Even with your limited intellect, you must at least know that from the beginning to the middle of the twentieth century was an age of war.

Japan fought on the victorious side in the First World War. But in the Second World War, your country, the United States, first enacted immigration laws that explicitly targeted Japan, tearing apart the hearts of Japanese citizens who had held pro-American sentiments.

The very person who incited anti-American feelings among the Japanese people as a result of this was none other than the Asahi Shimbun, whom you later came to support.

You were described as kichiku beiei—the brutal demons of America and Britain. When you finally laid bare your hostility toward Japan and cut off oil exports, which were Japan’s lifeline, the Asahi Shimbun screamed in protest: “Hated America, why do we not go to war?”

Japan won the Sino-Japanese War and then astonished the world by winning the Russo-Japanese War because it was an era powered by coal, and Japan possessed coal as a resource.

The First World War symbolized the transition of energy sources from coal to oil.

Do you pretend not to know about the greatest and worst war crimes in human history that you committed at the end of the war?

The fact that the Turntable of Civilization is now turning toward Japan is itself proof of Japan’s stance toward you.

Because of your excessive intellectual inadequacy, let me explain this with a simple analogy.

Judging from postwar facts, it is the Japanese people who are truly the children of God.

That is why the Turntable of Civilization turns.

For example, Masayuki Takayama—the one and only genuine journalist in the postwar world—has taught us that Switzerland took advantage of Japan’s defeat to extract large sums of money from Japan, and even attempted to extort more later. He also revealed that the Netherlands mobilized even its royal family to demand large sums of money from Japan under the pretext of reparations, and that they still harbor such intentions today.

That, he explains, is why they continue to harbor anti-Japanese sentiment even now.

Whenever the opportunity arises, they seek once again to extort money, permanently confining Japan in the position of a political prisoner.

To achieve that, they willingly align themselves with the schemes of China and South Korea—countries of “bottomless evil” and “plausible lies”—and participate in the most despicable acts of condemning and slandering Japan. At last, I have come to understand their motives.

As for China and South Korea, nations of “bottomless evil” and “plausible lies,” there is nothing more that needs to be said.

If Japan and the Japanese were nations and people like them, how enormous would the compensation claims against your country have been, demanded at the United Nations and in various international conferences?

Since many of you claim to be scholars, calculating such figures should be easy.

Regarding the entirely fabricated story of the comfort women, you surely consider it only natural—or perhaps even insufficient—that the Japanese government decided to provide a fund of one billion yen.

Then calculate the compensation for indiscriminately bombing 127 Japanese cities with incendiary bombs toward the end of the war, turning them into scorched earth and killing millions in an extremely short period of time.

Calculate also the greatest crime against humanity in history—the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki—after already committing unmistakable war crimes against humanity.

In an instant, you reduced hundreds of thousands of human beings—no different from your own grandparents, children, or grandchildren—to ashes. And for all those who suffered afterward from the lasting effects, you have not paid a single cent.

Now then, calculate immediately how much compensation that amounts to, you blockheaded fools.
