Japan has elected an awesome new leader to follow the conservative path and keep Japan great.

What's great about Japan? It has both a demographic crisis and is close to financial collapse. Its government is weak and is either unable or unwilling to implement the reforms necessary to MJGA. To make matters worse, Japan has been militarily occupied by the US since 1945 and has little, if any, autonomy in defense, foreign or monetary matters. Despite its reputation as a high-tech country, it is in reality stuck in the 1970s, still using phone and fax instead of online. Japan needs a good shaking and sadly its "awesome new leader" is the last person to deliver what is needed. If humans have to "adapt or die," then Japan appears to have chosen the latter course :(

While some points are valid others are way off. Japanese defense forces are free of past restrictions and are capable. Stuck in the 70s just nonsense they are heavy net users and developing robotics as a peer. Their medical system could be a model. Clearly you are not aware.

Well, clearly your encyclopedic knowledge is different from my every day experience lol. The SDF are puny and, like most sectors of the Japanese economy, seriously short of manpower. Japan's problems are deep-seated and structural.

Nice article.

The Rothchild banking clan wants immigrants to flood countries--USA, countries in the EU, Asia--to preserve their economic model of an excess supply of cheap labor to keep wages down. It also allows for increased government debt to feed and clothe and educate these people, and the Rothschild empire would take a serious hit if Christians stopped paying interest on government debt, as usury was not allowed.

Strangely enough, because Bill Gates and Steve Jobs (etc.) cared only about themselves, the computer and internet revolution gutted the ancient Rothschild economic model because young people got rich without borrowing from them. Just some 'angel funding' and 'mezzanine funding' and suddently these young people are extremely wealthy and don't need the globalist bankers. Moreover, the technical aspects of their production precludes the hiring of barely skilled laborers from other countries.

Japan is slamming the door shut in the face of the Rothchild banking clan. It is about time some country had the backbone to do so.

So the new Japanese government is a minority in the legislature? Both parties in the new coalition are right-wing and conservative; but one is called "Liberal" and the other "Innovation"? No wonder the Japanese hold their politicians in contempt. How can anyone take such black-is-white nonsense seriously?!

How exactly is Takaichi's alleged appreciation of freedom compatible with not allowing married women in Japan to keep their maiden name (a really hot topic in Japan)? Black-is-white again ?!

Simon Dixon has an interesting analysis on the US/China and capitalism:

Japan closed its borders to “those evil blue eye white men for two hundred years and eventually fell against the same blue eyed white men to open up trade routes. By force. Everyone needs to watch “Blue Eyed Samurai” -it’s a beautifully presented brutal history of WHEN WHY HOW - and - WHO has been trying to end Japan since the discovery of SILK FABRIC and SAMURAI SWORD FABRICATION TECHNIQUES - the evil and greedy for profit and slaves in the European central banks families and shipping magnates they have spawned

The SDF forces have transitioned with fewer restrictions joining in US war games. Preparing for possible Chinese aggression.

You are right their demographics are awful which is why heavy into robotics. Society has been growing more western particularly in terms of diet although still clinging to Japanese norms.

They like other advanced nations no longer have children and may be doomed given their phobia toward foreigners.
