OF AMAKI NAOTO – January 2, 2014 –
This
Year’s New Year’s Day Starts with Tow Big News by Mainichi and Tokyo Shimbun
It is taken for granted that the media join a fierce war over the big news they have
cherished on New Year’s holidays every year.
In other words, on New Year’s Day the Mainichi Shimbun reported an astonishing exclusive that
the Ministry of Defense has known about the establishment of Air Defense
Identification Zone (ADIZ) by China long before.
If it is true, it turns out that it was
nothing more than a farce to make a great fuss over an issue of ADIZ, which was
suddenly announced by China at the end of last year.
Additionally, the
Tokyo Shimbun reported another exclusive on the front page on New Year’s Day
as follows:
According to the
newspaper, TEPCO has gained the profits by investment to overseas power
producers, which is estimated at at least two hundred million yen in
total. The company has accumulated the
profits in Holland with tax exemption system for the purpose of tax evasion in
Japan.
This is a clever tax evasion scheme.
Although the company has
already received massive amount of public funding which comes from taxpayers’
precious money, TEPCO shamelessly tries to doge taxes.
On top of that, the Board
of Audit has turned a blind eye to the illicit behavior of TEPCO, though it has
recognized the company’s asset components by checking them.
This country is made of ficticiousness.
The state power and financial organization
have plotted together to survive bankrupt TEPCO and placed a burden on the
people. They feel no shame about their wrongdoing.
I have never seen such immorality.
The axle of this country has gone rotten.
Unless this big news by
the Tokyo Shimbun leads to dealing a hard blow to the nuclear promotion policy
of this country, something is wrong with this country.
The media would have no existential value
unless they follow up the exclusive provided by the Tokyo Shimbun on behalf of
the people and have the Abe administration plunge into big scandal.
