◎This Statement Was Made in 2010
The remarks in this transcript date from 2010.
At that time, Japan was under a Democratic Party administration, with Seiji Maehara serving as Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and Kiyomi Tsujimoto as Vice Minister.
On March 29, 2018, I broadcast once again the facts that Masayuki Takayama had relayed to the public.
Upon rereading the article, I recalled that Representative Yasushi Adachi—an alumnus of Osaka Prefectural Ibaraki High School (the top school in the Hokuset region and one of Japan’s elite institutions), Kyoto University, and the Ministry of International Trade and Industry—had raised an important point in a magazine interview.
He revealed that when the adjacent land to Moritomo Gakuen was purchased by Toyonaka City, for some reason, the city offered a price even higher than the one initially suggested by the government.
I was rereading the article I had shared the day before when it suddenly hit me.
Regarding this land issue—the most malicious actors in the Itami Airport land controversy were Toyonaka City and its affiliated Japanese Communist Party and former Japan Socialist Party.
Chief among them is Kiyomi Tsujimoto, a woman whose origins are unclear and who was elected from Takatsuki City and Mishima District.
Their guilt is by far the deepest.
These people are of the lowest kind, wholly unworthy of Japanese citizenship, as they make a career out of extorting the state and attacking the nation.
When I tried to search online for Adachi's statement, I discovered the following valuable article.
This only reaffirms that Asahi Shimbun and NHK deliberately conceal the truth and continue to brainwash the Japanese people with their distorted ideology.
There’s no exaggeration in saying so.

＜#News the TV Will Never Report＞
The Moritomo Gakuen controversy all began with a fake news story by the Asahi Shimbun—The Origins of the Kagoike Problem [Anonymous Post Column]
Kagoike testified in the Diet hearing that “a divine wind blew.”
The media used this phrase to insinuate that Mrs. Akie Abe and Prime Minister Abe had influenced officials to dramatically lower the land price.
But what the media and the Democratic Party never mention is the adjacent land purchased by Toyonaka City.
How did Asahi Shimbun report it? Here's an excerpt:
Public land in Osaka sold to school corporation—price undisclosed, said to be one-tenth of adjacent land
Haruhiko Yoshimura, Kenta Iijima – February 9, 2017 – 5:03 AM
On the east side of the land sold to Moritomo Gakuen, there was another parcel of state-owned land (9,492 m²). In 2010, the Finance Bureau sold it to Toyonaka City through a public contract for about 1.423 billion yen—roughly 10 times the amount of the Moritomo sale. This land was developed into a park.

But the price of the land purchased by Toyonaka City as reported in the Asahi Shimbun article is itself a fabrication.
Now let us turn to the actual 2010 Toyonaka City Council meeting minutes.
◆ Committee Member (Seiji Okamoto):
On page 159 of the budget statement, under Urban Redevelopment Project Costs and Public Property Acquisition Costs—1.65012 billion yen—please provide a breakdown, excluding the 162.36 million yen for the Toyonaka Station West Auto Parking Facility.
[Omitted]
◎ Director of Urban Development Office (Minoru Sasaki):
Regarding the (tentatively named) Noda Central Park, we had originally budgeted 1.50455 billion yen for land acquisition, but the contracted amount was 1.423863 billion yen.
Of this, half was expected to be covered by national subsidies under the Urban Housing Area Comprehensive Development Project.
In addition, in FY2009, due to the government's emergency economic measures, a one-time grant for regional revitalization and public investment was established.
Although the city initially anticipated a subsidy rate of about 85%, it eventually reached over 97%, totaling 690.69 million yen.
Combined with the Urban Housing subsidy, the total national subsidy received amounted to 1.40262 billion yen.
As a result, the originally anticipated municipal bond burden of 182.5 million yen was reduced to a general expenditure of only 21.243 million yen—significantly easing the city’s financial burden.
◆ Committee Member (Seiji Okamoto):
So, for this (tentatively named) Noda Central Park, although the initial budget was 1.50455 billion yen and the contract price was 1.42386 billion yen, various national subsidies totaling 1.40262 billion yen ultimately covered the cost.
Thus, the city’s real burden—originally a bond of 182.5 million yen—was reduced to a mere 21.243 million yen in general funds.
It sounds like a dream come true.
I don’t know what coincidence allowed such perfect timing—perhaps it was the change in government—but either way, this was originally a very large amount that had troubled the administrators.
It seems we were blessed with a rare opportunity to cover it with general funds.
—From Toyonaka City Council Meeting Minutes
The Asahi Shimbun article claims that the land sold to Moritomo Gakuen was one-tenth the price of the neighboring land.
In reality, Toyonaka City purchased a 1.4 billion yen plot for just 20 million yen.
In the minutes, Councilman Seiji Okamoto says:
“To be able to purchase it for 21.243 million yen in general funds—it’s like a dream.”
Isn’t this equivalent to Kagoike’s “a divine wind blew”?
Okamoto also states:
“I don’t know what coincidence allowed such perfect timing—perhaps it was the change in government.”
This statement was made in 2010.
At that time, the administration was under the Democratic Party, with Seiji Maehara as Minister of Land and Kiyomi Tsujimoto as Vice Minister.
Asahi Shimbun never reported that Toyonaka City purchased the adjacent land for only 20 million yen.
Did they intentionally omit it for propaganda purposes?
Or were they simply unaware?
If it’s the former, they remain the same arsonists who set fires where there are none.
If it’s the latter, they’re just incompetent journalists.
Now then, both plots of land were sold at significantly reduced prices thanks to subsidies.
But what kind of place is this area?
If you look at the red circle in the photo, you’ll see a plane flying overhead.
This is the approach path for Itami Airport, an area where planes fly low.
Back when noise lawsuits and anti-Itami Airport protests were at their peak, this area was a hotbed for far-left activists and pressure groups.
It resembled today’s Okinawa.
I’m from Kansai, so I know firsthand: the evening news and nighttime documentaries at the time portrayed these activists—much like today’s Okinawa radicals—as victims.
To be continued.
