Imperial Family Warns Against Abe Administration? Crown Prince Vows to “Continue Respecting the Constitution” and Emperor Says “Pacifist Constitution Made the Foundation of the Current Japan.”
– Person within the Circle of True Elite –
A person of insight will get the meaning of
the remark of Crown Prince Naruhito. It
is considerably important because the crown prince belongs to the circle of
true elite who control Japan. Those
within the circle have probably been reported about the incident I mentioned as
a comment on the second article and have clarified their position. In a word, they clearly showed that they
would bow to the wishes of the Nathaniel camp.

Imperial Family Warns Against Abe Administration? Crown
Prince Vows to “Continue Respecting the Constitution” and Emperor Says “Pacifist
Constitution Made the Foundation of the Current Japan.” – Person within the
Circle of True Elite –
*Emperor and Crown Prince Unsatisfied with Amendment of Constitution by Prime Minister Abe?
Japan’s Crown
Prince Naruhito has stressed the importance of abiding by the Constitution,
in contrast with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe who has been
pushing for amendment of the pacifist Constitution.
On 23rd Crown
Prince Naruhito held a press conference before his 54th
birthday. He said, “Japan has been enjoying peace and prosperity since the end
of the war thanks to the Constitution as the cornerstone. We have to abide by the Constitution.” At a press conference
on December last year, Emperor Ahihito also highly evaluated the pacifist
Constitution, by saying that “After the war, Japan was occupied by the
allied forces, but we upheld the values of peace and
democracy, undertook various reforms and built
the foundation of Japan that we know today.”
The emperor and the crown
prince stressed the importance of abiding by the Constitution one after the
other. We can interpret it as the
meaning that they indicated their dissatisfaction toward the movement of Abe
administration to amend the Constitution. Prime Minister Abe has pushed for the
revision of Article 9 of the Constitution, which stipulates the prohibition of
war and having armed forces, by saying, “The current Constitution was forced to
be established under American military occupation.” The ruling party LDP has a policy to provide
meetings to explain to the public about constitutional amendment across the
country this year. The current
Constitution stipulates the emperor as the symbol of the nation, while the
draft of amended constitution by the LDP elevates the status of emperor to the “head
of state.”
