“Comment
on Politics” by Jiro Motozawa “Shizuka Kamai Roars”
I visited the office of Shizuka Kamei
located at 3-chome, Yotsuya ward, Tokyo after so long.
“The Noda cabinet is a slaver of the U.S.,”
Kamei says definitely. What he points
out is right.
“We have to go back to the past
history. Japan has been occupied by the
U.S. for sixty-six years or so. And yet
Japan has not attained independence. It
pretends to be independent. The peace
treaty is nothing but a nominal and ostensible one.” First of all, this writer wants to welcome it
together with many people that such politicians who give exactly the right
thing have come into being.
“After the war, the U.S. got control of not
only Japan’s politics and economics but also Japanese spirituality. Great impact after the defeat in war has made
the Japanese government readily obey Washington. Shinsuke Kishi was given money by the
U.S. Twenty-five Japanese policymakers
were hired and paid as servants. Such
people dare to call themselves conservative mainstream and have been under the
thumb of the U.S.”
“Even now every
time a specific problem comes out, they depend on the choice of the U.S. In that case, therefore, politicians have to
cope with it with considerable resolve.
Hatoyama is the first prime minister that did it. How awful JDP members were! Hatoyama should not have given in without a
fight; he should have insisted on transferring the Futenma base from Okinawa
Prefecture/from Japan despite of the possibility of creating some discord with
the U.S.”
<Matsushita
Seikei-Jyuku Graduates, LDP & New Komeito, and Mass Media Including NHK Bow
to Washington>
It was the DPJ of Matsushita Seikei-Juku
graduates that sided with Washington. So
were bureaucrats in Kasumigaseki and two opposition parties of LDP and New
Komeito. Above all else, mass media
including NHK took the initiative in maneuvering public opinion.
The ruling party, two
opposition parties, Kasumigaseki bureaucracy and mass media hindered the
Hatoyama cabinet with a goal of Japan’s independence from moving toward the
goal, to drive him from power. Is such stupid but rather funny thing be acceptable?
The group subservient to
the U.S. had the Hatoyma Cabinet resigned, while they tried to expel Ozawa out
of the political arena. They mobilized the
mass media and the prosecutor to achieve their aims. The prosecutor representing justice, that is
supposed to act in accordance with the law and evidence, have strayed from the
fundamental rule, worked in an all-out effort to defeat their political
opponents and thrown the world into confusion for these several years.
Even the New Komeito and
the Japan Communist Party, lovers of fair arguments, volunteered to take a
leading role in CIA covert operations.
This is exactly the world of comics.
<Anti-Nuke
Demonstration Predicts Changing Times>
Kamei participated in the
anti-nuke demonstration surrounding the prime minister’s residence. The riot police of the
Metropolitan Police Department and police officers who were directed to guard
the residence must have been surprised to see him. The public anger at Noda, who deployed the
riot police in free peaceful demonstrations by citizens, has increased and as a
result anti-nuke demonstrations have spread over across the country.
On July 29th, 200,000 citizens
(announced by the organizers) got together to oppose nuclear power generation
at Hibiya Park, Tokyo. What a huge number of participants! They surrounded the TEPCO buildings and the
Diet Building. Kamei predicts that “This
indicates that times are going to change.” Throwing himself into the circle of
demonstration, he must have felt it in his bones.
Anti-nuclear power generation, anti-10
percent of consumption tax, anti-Osprey deployment, and anti-TPP are all
interrelated with one another. Countless
numbers of citizens have risen up together to protect their life and
livelihood. It heralds a new era. This writer takes the movement as changes in
politics, economics and society, which can be called “Tokyo spring.”
This movement is an open rebellion against the
media. We should pay tribute to the daily
“Nikkan Gendai” which started covering this movement from the beginning four
months ago.
<Internet
Election Affecting Voting Scares DPL Lawmakers>
The swirl of weekly
demonstrations surrounding the prime minister’s residence and big rallies &
demonstrations at Yoyogi Park and Hibiya Park is about to change Japan. “The effect of it will be
seen in the upcoming election. It will
change the current politics,” Kamei proudly says.
He is confident of citizens’
change of mind. “Citizens who act by
using the Internet will lead the election.
Information from the Internet will reach voters who appear at tens of
thousands of polling stations across the country. Everybody will vote based on information they
gain; who approved a 10 percent tax increase, who approved restarting nuclear
power plant operations, or who approved or opposed the Osprey deployment. This cannot be controlled any longer. Voter turnout will be high,”
Kamei says. It is not unpredictable. It is virtually
election on the Internet.
“The DPL lawmakers have already been
scared. More and more lawmakers will
leave the party. Before long, they will
decrease their seats to 50 or 60. It is
impossible to form a coalition government of DPL, LDP and New Komeito after the
election,” he states positively.
The problem is how to clean up after the
election. For the time being, Kamei’s assignment
will be to integrate the anti-nuclear power generation, anti-big consumption
tax, anti-Osprey deployment, and anti-TPP into a whole. He himself points it out.
As for how to act before the general
election, he says that it is to form a united front. “I am preparing to establish procedures,” he
also says.
Hatoyama is a feudal lord within the party
and Ozawa another feudal lord after leaving the party. Both of them continue rattling Noda. What a smart strategy it is to share roles
among the three! I wonder who planned
this strategy.
“Ozawa honored his words. Hatoyama is a laughingstock of the
party. However, he acts, fully
understanding everything. He seeks for
the best time to leave the party,” Kamei explains. He seems to say as if there were no problem
to form a united force.
<Powerful
Four anti-nuke lawmakers>
Kamei has recently revealed that it is his
close aide Akiko Kamei, a member of the House of Councilors that played the
lead in helping three anti-nuke lawmakers leave the DPJ. “The anti-nuke group of four will play an
imporatnt role,” he predicts.
The group of four, who stood up anti-nukes,
formed a parliamentary group after being influenced by the demonstration
surrounding the prime minister’s residence.
It is the movement which is likely to gather anti-nuke political
independents.
“Finally, all will get together, Hatoyama
and Ozawa, too. Being separated, we
cannot topple Japan’s feudal government.
United, we will easily topple it.
We never fail to do so.”
