His editorial in this week's issue also proves beautifully that my assessment of him is correct.
This paper also proves that he is more deserving of the Nobel Prize in Literature or the Peace Prize than anyone else.

Malice in the Bread
On the morning of Japan's defeat, Americans arrived with a bang.
As is still the case today, their intellectual level is considerably lower than that of the Japanese.
For example, Leon Becker, a GHQ staff member, was convinced in his mind that Japan was behind the U.S. and, therefore, still had slaves.
After much searching, he decided to use a coal mine in Hokkaido as a prison cell and "freed 13,000 slaves" (Shinchosha, "MacArthur's Japan").
He reported that they were respectable slaves who were made to work 24 hours a day, but at the time, the black diamonds were booming.
In fact, after this prison-room bust, GHQ ordered "24-hour operations to increase coal production" (Ibid.).
The miners who were suddenly enslaved must have been astonished.
Americans also considered Japanese literacy to be a factor in the cultural lag.
After all, the literacy rate of Americans who use the 26 alphabet letters is only in the 60% range.
The Japanese use more than 10,000 kanji characters, kana, and the alphabet, so he estimated that "85% of the Japanese cannot read a newspaper. "
"It is delaying Japan's democratization," he said," We should first romanize the Japanese language and eventually convert it to English."
In 1948, the Ministry of Education conducted a nationwide Japanese reading and writing test for children and the elderly to warn such fools.
The result was a 98% literacy rate.
There is a story in which John Pelzel, the GHQ officer in charge of the test, pleaded with the Japanese side, "Can you at least change the literacy rate to that of Americans?"
The U.S. medical community was also at a low level, believing that newborns would be in a "vegetative state for a year.
Therefore, GHQ medical officers were astonished when they saw mothers and children sleeping together from early on.
Because sleeping together was dangerous and unclean, GHQ ordered maternity hospitals to separate mothers and children, which led to an increase in the number of unfortunate accidents involving mistaken pregnancies.
It was not until the WHO officially approved the practice in the 1980s that Americans learned that sleeping with mothers had a positive effect on the emotional stability of babies.
Up to this point, we can sense good intentions somewhere in ignorance, but quite a few GHQ policies are not so good.
Crawford Sams was the man who pelted the Japanese with DDTs to the head, and the next thing he did was enforce birth control using Margaret Sanger and Shizue Kato.
Franklin Roosevelt testified that the Japanese should be confined to the four islands and destroyed.
It is Like Carthage, which was defeated in the Punic Wars.
So, except for the "four" islands, Taiwan and Korea were confiscated.
The army was dismantled, and the right of belligerency was taken away.
It was the same as the surrender treaty that Rome presented to Carthage.
In addition, this restriction on births reduced the population and hastened the nation's demise.
In fact, Japan's population would eventually fall below its pre-war level.
Sams had another trick up his sleeve.
Japanese-Americans started the so-called "la-la-la goods" to help alleviate the poverty of their homeland.
The U.S. government released skimmed milk powder for livestock feed and took advantage of the school lunches that were started at that time.
It is the spread of the bread diet.
They granted about 180,000 tons of wheat for priming, and in return, they made "school lunches with bread as the main ingredient" the law.
According to Akiyoshi Yamamura's "GHQ's Brainwashing of Japan," Senator McGovern said, "This made Japan a significant wheat buyer for years to come.
During this period, the legend that "eating rice makes you stupid" was also propagated.
The Asahi Shimbun received money from the U.S. to promote bread, saying, "We must not force the next generation of children to eat rice" (1964).
The shift away from rice has continued, and by 2011, the purchase amounts of bread and rice had reversed.
In a first-grade morality textbook, the word "bakery" was changed to "wagashi ya" (Japanese confectionery shop), and the textbook passed the examination.
The purpose was that Japanese tradition and culture cannot be described in terms of bread.
Asahi bites back.
"Bread has neither tradition nor culture?"
Right. There is nothing.
Instead, it is filled with mind-numbing gluten and age-old American cheats.
Eat some rice.
You'll see a little history.
