When Koizumi yelled out “I’ll break up the
LDP!” and enjoyed popularity among people, I had often mentioned “The gap between
the rich and the poor will be wider and we’ll see many homeless people. The reform toward this direction is a path to
war.” You understand the current
situation is exactly what I said. Please
be very careful not to have us pave the way for war.

End
of American Dream by Yoshihisa Yamaura
There seems to be dumb Japanese who still
believe that the U.S. is the country of the American dream. The problem is that some corporate managers are
included in such people.
But actually the
American dream has already collapsed.
Correctly speaking, the American dream itself was an elaborately
concocted illusion.
American economy after
the war has been favorably led by globalization of financial capitalism which the
notorious military-industrial complex and Jewish financial capitalists
advocate.
Especially after the September 11th terrorist attacks, the
U.S. forces have been influenced by the speculation of right-wing Zionists and
have continued wars intended to accomplish “Great Israel Doctrine” while Jewish
financial capitalists have worked for centralization of global finance.
Failure in such
centralization was the economic downturn precipitated by the Lehman Brothers
bankruptcy.
As a result,
contradiction in American society, which had been covered up by expansion of financial
capitalism, came to the surface at once.
To sum up, it is a big gap-widening society in the country.
According to statistics released by the
U.S. Bureau of Census, whites have 22 times as much asset as blacks and the gap
was widened approximately twice due to the recent great recession.
Miki Tsutsumi points out in
her book “Reportage: Big Poor Country U.S.” that the U.S. government has established
a mechanism with which it uses shrewd tricks to draft young people who have come
down to economic refugees. She strictly
criticizes the U.S. government for bringing about the social situation where
such young people are forced to join the armed forces to survive.
And the number of suicides in the armed
forces is rapidly increasing.
They have realized that the war for their
country is too far away from justice and is manipulated by some different
power. They feel hopeless to know the
fact that it is meaningless and empty to fight at the cost of their lives.
The poor become much
poorer and an air of despair is covered with American society. And now there are 43 million
people who will be starved to death without food stamps (coupons provided by
the government for living assistance). On
the other hand, the exceptionally rich and upper class people
who have extorted financial assets from the poor have gained power. These “new upper class people” occupy wealth
and live exclusively in the gated communities (walled
cities).
Such extreme social stratification
has simultaneously invited destruction of social ethics and morality. If no measures are taken to
fight poverty and corporate managers have a hand in economic crimes to make big
profits, nobody wants to live honestly. We
can say that virtues such as “diligence” and “honesty” American workers used to
have and place value on do not exist any longer.
Materialism and worship
of money is the real culprit of collapse of American society.
This is no fire on the other side of the
river.
Japanese society after the war, which has
naively embraced American values, has the same disease. The current situation of the U.S. is the
future of Japan.
Unless we Japanese come
back to what we should be, Japan will inevitably collapse.
