Last November, after the Presidential election in the United States, I started my podcast. As I have said, my first guest was Dr. Ofir Haivry. He’s been my special guest, and I’d like to invite him again. From this season, you’re able to enjoy two full music at the beginning and at the end of my podcast.
I’d like to make my podcast without the influence of someone. At the same time, I’d like people to feel and think that politics is something related to them. I’m very fine even if the legacy media don’t invite me at all. I’ve shared my past history of being in the legacy media.
I do listen to some conservative news. I think Japanese conservatism has its history in democracy. Many tend to explain democracy out of socialism in the field of political science. Do you think democracy and socialism really co-exist? My answer is “no.”
I love Israel and I have faith in Israel, not because someone told me to. I’ve loved Israel since I was in the early years of my primary school. I was praying one day and decided to believe in Israel. Ever since, I’ve never lost faith. I believe that strong will and good faith will both bring us to the future. It may be uncertain, but I believe in light.
It’s Shabbat Saturday. Jewish people dine with family. Regarding Zionism, I’ve never lost my way. I’ve invited Pastor Barry Denison from ICEJ. He is a proud Christian Zionist. He explained Zionism or “Zion” in the Bible on my podcast during the second invitation last month. “Zion” or “Zionism” to me isn’t an unfamiliar or foreign expression. I strongly believe that Christianity and Judaism exist together in peace, while there are some Jewish people who have held Antisemitism throughout history, trying to persecute or convert Jewish people to Christianity.
I’ve explained what I felt about the new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s diplomatic style. Of course, the late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe introduced Japan to the world in a whole different way, and also spread the concept of “Open Indo-Pacific.” Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was very kind in person to people. Many may not know, but he often appeared in my neighboring prefecture, Yamaguchi. He also appeared in a wide variety of places in the area that I often like to visit. I’ll talk about it in a different episode, but I think this will be funny to people.
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s meeting with Xi Jinping was excellent. I was very sick, but was looking at the first and the most important guest to Japan, the United States. More than that, she hosted President Trump, the 47th President of the United States, with wonderful hospitality. I’m pleased to know that Japan was able to host President Trump’s official state visit with the best start.
With the new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. She is a whiz and has such a charming character. I think this is something that is very original to her and her style. I really like how she speaks to people in a foreign diplomatic stage. She’ll be the Prime Minister Japan is proud of in the history of Japanese politics, which President Trump left as words. Prime Minister Abe had his own character. He was very Japanese and had a superb international sense that he had in his own way.
The legacy media would express “concerns” or “politicizing” everything about President Trump, calling him “populist.” I talked with my friend off the record, and I can’t tell who that is. However, we agreed and reached a conclusion that President Trump is a very nice President. I also asked the same friend about Antisemitism in Japan.
My Jewish friend has a very friendly image in Japan, and he has also worked with Japanese people. This person was saying that the reason Japanese people tend to believe that the Jewish people control the financial market isn’t because of the Soviet-mafia propaganda. In my opinion, Soviet-mafia propaganda is another Nazism, and it’s called Antisemitism.
I’ve also talked about how the Japanese state-sponsored media, NHK, spreads propaganda in the Middle East, called Al Jazeera, and propaganda from the Soviet propaganda called Russian Today. If you are to listen to them to analyze what they say, it’s not a problem. However, the Japanese media introduces them as “the media of justice” or “the media of the Middle East" when they speak of Al Jazeera. The sarcastic reality is that the professor of the University of Tokyo had an international session with an Antisemitic bias. The scary result is that the students who learned from these left-wing propaganda and spread disinformation and Antisemitism.
Before the Prime Minister’s race, I was very anxious about the result. If the democracy, the majority votes win, Prime Minister must be Sanae Takaichi. The result of the last election was such. Isn’t this democracy? Now, the Japanese are labeled as “right-wing” politics and a sign of danger by the left-wing media. The metal drum politics? Ha? New York Times?
Feminism, in my opinion, is one form of defining women. If people understand this way, it’s not much of a problem. However, when feminism is something to be “honored” or “respected,” that’s a different matter. Every person has different views, and I hope that the legacy media understand that their definition of politics is the right decision. This is something I’ve discussed in my second book about Japanese history. I’m going to revise a lot and publish under my current pseudonym. This problem? The media.
Anyway, I decided to invite my guest who is willing to come to my podcast. Also, I’ve changed the organization of the program so that you’ll be able to listen to my podcast with some entertainment and refreshment. That is why I decided to add music.
The first guest of the second season is Adam Fox. I’ve invited him back in August. He’s back, and I’m pleased to welcome him. He has been involved in activism to introduce Jewish values to people so that there is no Antisemitism in this world. Adam has been active in End Jew Hatred and Project Max. I introduced it during this podcast episode.
My second guest is Ambassador Gilad Cohen. He’s the Ambassador of Israel to Japan. I feel very privileged and honored to invite Ambassador Cohen to my podcast. I’ll be posting a one-hour interview. I’d like to add Japanese subtitles so that Japanese people feel familiar with what Antisemitism is.
Anyway, I’ll change music randomly. You’ll listen to various songs on my podcast!
