Meanwhile, when it comes to the illegal acts and violent tendencies of anti-U.S. military base activists in Okinawa, the media never attempts to report on them.

The following is from the latest issue of the monthly magazine Voice (780 yen).
This issue too is filled with essays that every Japanese citizen should rush to their nearest bookstore to purchase.
If you are a citizen of Japan—a nation where the turntable of civilization continues to spin—then unless you subscribe to these monthly journals, you are effectively either being manipulated by or have sided with anti-Japanese propaganda from countries like China, ruled by the one-party dictatorship of the Communist Party, or South Korea, a Nazi-like state. In reality, this makes you one of the traitors to the nation.
Blindly swallowing the information from media outlets such as the Asahi Shimbun out of ignorance will eventually turn Japan into a nation like a vassal state of China, or worse, like today’s South Korea.
It was also due to the media like Asahi Shimbun—and to you, who have blindly believed in them—that Japan underwent over 20 years of unprecedented deflation among developed nations, fell into an unnecessary and meaningless stagnation, halted the progress of the turntable of civilization, and helped create today’s unstable and extremely dangerous world.
You must realize that it is you—who remain ignorant of your own ignorance and blindly trust the Asahi Shimbun—who is creating the evils of today’s world.
Japanese People Fighting with “Patriotism” as Their Weapon
Break Propaganda with the Spirit of the Grassroots
By Kent Gilbert
The Increasing Malice of the Japanese Media’s Information Manipulation
[Opening omitted]
The Japanese public has learned a hard lesson from the failures of the then-Democratic Party administration and now understands that a hasty regime change brings no benefits.
Even so, I believe the information manipulation by Japanese media is becoming increasingly malicious.
They continue their attacks on the Abe administration by any means possible—such as through the Moritomo Gakuen and Kake Gakuen issues.
Meanwhile, they never report on the illegal activities and violent behavior of anti-U.S. base activists in Okinawa.
Furthermore, left-wing organizations repeatedly exploit the authority of the “United Nations” to demean Japan, and some segments of the media appear to support such behavior.
Grassroots Patriots Who Devoted Themselves to Nation-Building
Thanks to former member of the House of Representatives Ms. Mio Sugita, newscaster Ms. Masako Ganaha, and Mr. Shunichi Fujiki of the Texas Daddy Japan Secretariat, such despicable schemes are gradually being exposed.
I highly regard their efforts as the battle of “Grassroots Patriots.”
In the soon-to-be-released book Finally, the Japanese Are Freed from the Taboo of “Patriotism” (PHP Shinsho), I’ve written in detail about this.
“Grassroots Patriots” refers to “ordinary citizens who usually live quiet lives but, in times of national crisis, act to defend their country out of loyalty.”
Such grassroots patriots—pioneers—were essential to the founding of the United States.
According to the 19th-century French thinker Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America (Iwanami Bunko edition), the absence of aristocracy and the constant existence of a frontier were the foundational conditions for the birth of the U.S.
For a nation of immigrants like America, freedom of religion and the frontier spirit were the most important values.
From that foundation arose a spirit of enterprise, a strong emphasis on self-determination and personal responsibility, and an ethos built on these principles.
The reason modern America is a society that values individual ability and action is undoubtedly rooted in this history that began at its founding.
