The female lawmakers in the photos, or rather, all female lawmakers that became cabinet ministers in the Cabinet reshuffle are said to be far more right-wing than Abe. So, even if they make any excuses by saying that they didn’t know about what kind person he was, nobody would take it seriously. I wonder how far this cabinet and people who support it are going to destroy Japan. Without destruction, no new world will come. So, they can try.
I hope you will stand quite away from them
not to get caught up in such swirl. It
is critically important to never get disturbed.

This organization is the “NationalSocialist Japanese Workers Party” (NSJAP).
According to its official website, the organization was established in
1982. Like the Nazi party, the organization
denies the Holocaust took place and demands to ostracize foreign workers.
The photos in question
were taken in June to July 2011 when Kazunari Yamada, NSJAP leader, visited the
Diet Members’ Building.
On the NSJAP official website, the photos of the three lawmakers of Ms.
Takaichi, LDP policy chief Tomomi Inada and LDP deputy secretary general Shoji
Shishida pictured with him were posted.
At present, the content of the corresponding page has been changed.
This has caused
international controversy. British newspaper “Guardian” reported on
September 9 in its article with a headline of “Neo-Nazi photos pose headachefor Shinzo Abe” that “While there is no evidence that either politician
shares Yamda’s neo-Nazi ideology their appointment has
fuelled accusations that Abe is taking his administration even further to the
right.”

Ms.Takaichi
and Ms. Inada Criticized by European Media
It has been found on 10 that the three LDP
Diet members including Internal Affairs Minister Sanae Takaichi and LDP policy
chief Tomoki Inada were pictured along with a male leader of Japan’s far-right organization
at the Diet Members’ Building and the photos were posted on the organization’s
website. On the website, the party
accepts Nazi ‘swastika’ and demands to stop foreigners from entering to the
country. European
major media have critically reported it one after another. As the result of protest from the lawmakers,
the photos have already been removed.

“National Socialist Japanese Workers Party”
According to the office of Lower House
member Takaichi, the photo in question was taken more than three years
ago. It says: “When she was interviewed
for a magazine, a man named “Yamada” happened to be there and ‘requested a
snapshot with her.’ Trusting the magazine
publisher, she accepted his request. We had
no idea who he was.”
The office of Lower House member Inada
responded in writing: “We met (a man named Yamada) as an assistant for an
interview just once and accepted a request to be pictured with her” and “We
didn’t know who he was, what ideology he had, or his name, either. Since then
we have had no connection with him.”
British newspaper (electrical version)
points out that judging from his remarks on the Internet, he “admires”
Hitler. “While there is no evidence that
either politician (Ms. Takaichi
included) shares his ideology, Prime Minister Abe will be criticized for
its tendency to get even further to the right,” the newspaper expects.
In a telephone interview with the Mainichi,
Associate Dean Abraham Cooper of Simon Wiesenthal
Center, an international Jewish human rights organization (with
headquarters in Los Angeles), expressed a strong
complaint by saying “Seeing (the photos), I cannot
help shaking my head. Isn’t there
any responsible person that can cope with it to prevent this sort thing from
happening again?”
