In the previous issue, I reported that the MHLW had counted as “unvaccinated” persons those whose vaccination dates were unknown in its morbidity data for vaccinated and unvaccinated persons.
However, the MHLW’s “misinformation” is not limited to this.
We are not sure if we have reported this before, but there was also “fabrication” in the data showing the incidence rate of myocarditis in vaccinated persons and those who contracted the new corona. This is clearly a fabrication. https://youtu.be/wrPxi5zg6hs
When we put out information that “vaccines are prudent” based on the data, the previous minister in charge of vaccines told us that it was a hoax and that “in the US, 200 million people have been vaccinated and no deaths have occurred at all”, which is bullshit.
As the saying goes, “Follow the money”.
In this case, too, we can only assume that there are interests of the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture the vaccine and the government that cannot resist the pressure of the pharmaceutical companies.
Speaking of interests, renewable energies such as solar power generation are now being discussed as if CO2 is the cause of global warming, but interests are involved in this as well.
There are also interests involved in the promotion of solar power generation, and some are reaping enormous profits.
The company owned by the father and brother of the aforementioned former minister in charge of vaccines (in which he also holds a 10% stake) manufactures components used in solar panels.
Behind the scenes, however, the company is producing so much CO2 to manufacture the solar panels that it takes 10 to 15 years to recoup the cost.
This makes no sense, since the lifespan of a solar panel is said to be about 10 to 15 years. An even bigger problem is that the solar panels are being installed by cutting down a mountain. On the Kumano Kodo, Nagaizaka is in terrible shape. https://7875937fbfc6f01c.main.jp/archives/4744
What in the world is “eco” about this? Landslides have occurred on mountains where solar panels have been installed, and people have even been killed. This is a complete reversal of the original plan. Solar power, which is supposed to be friendly to nature, is destroying the environment. https://youtu.be/vBxNu0WOlOY
The bigger problem is that Uyghurs are forced to work for the production.
There is no way that products made in other countries can compete with those produced without labor costs.
The efficiency of solar power generation is so low that if you wanted to cover all of Japan with solar power, you would have to lay solar panels all over the country.
Disposal is also problematic, as the solar panels themselves generate electricity on their own, making it difficult to dispose of them.
Solar power generation is only for supplementary use.
I have written about the same thing before, and I will write about it again.
I would like to state in advance so that there will be no misunderstanding. I have no intention of discriminating against women. I am sometimes called “discriminating” or “belittling” when I write such things, but I want to let you know in advance that I have no intention whatsoever to do so, no matter what anyone says.
◯Kii Minpo, May 17, 2012: Female vice principal at record high of 50
The Kii Minpo dated May 17 reported that the percentage of female vice principals at Tanabe private elementary and junior high schools in fiscal year 2022 reached 50.0%, a record high. The article concludes by saying that the government’s fifth gender equality plan aims for 25% of vice-principals and vice-principals and 20% of principals in 2013.
To put it bluntly, this is too cliché.
◯Equal Opportunity and Equal Results
What must not be mistaken here is that equal opportunity is now given to both men and women. This is called “equal opportunity”.
In contrast, “equality of results” is the idea that it is sufficient to simply match the number of men and women.
The current gender equality and the gender equality that is being called for today fall into the latter category.
Both men and women are given equal opportunities. Isn’t this true equality? Please click here to see why it is wrong to match headcounts only. The SDGs Are Destroying the World (6)
◯ “I really want to be a full-time housewife” about 30% of working women
As this shows, a good percentage of women want to become full-time housewives. The government, which ignores the feelings of women and is so eager to promote equality of results, is the one that is disrespecting women, isn’t it?
◯Japan used to be open
In the past, full-time housewives were entitled to benefits. However, under the banner of “Let women go out into society,” the government has stopped providing such benefits, and as a result, women now have to go out into society.
Until now, it has been the norm for women to do “housework and childcare” at home and for men to go out into society to work. I am planning to talk about this again at the history workshop, but let me tell you, men who go out and work in society are generally “temporary workers” who put all the money they earn into the house and receive “pocket money” from their wives.
When you put it this way, don’t you feel “sorry for men”? (Laughter)
In the past, men were only allowed to do very limited things, such as recording official documents.
On the other hand, Izumishikibu, Murasaki Shikibu, and Sei Shonagon were active about 1,000 years ago. Japan is the only country in the world where people were allowed to read, write, and even write novels from such a long time ago. In the West, women novelists finally appeared about 700 years later than in Japan. It was only after the death of her husband that she appeared as a writer.
Japan allowed women more opportunities for learning and freedom of action than any other country in the world.
The SDGs that are now being called for around the world are “none of your business” from Japan’s point of view.
◯Housework and childcare are honorable jobs
Housework and childcare are honorable jobs. On the other hand, going out to work means taking on social responsibility.
You can’t afford to cut corners when you do this.
However, all human beings are equally given 24 hours a day. Time is limited. We have to cut corners somewhere.
So, where do we cut corners?
Housework and childcare.
I have heard that there are families that do not have time to cook meals, so they settle for prepared foods from the supermarket, or in the worst cases, they eat bento at convenience stores all the time.
As I have told you before, food is very important, not only in terms of nutrition and the dangers of additives, but also in terms of strengthening the family bond when everyone enjoys together the food that the wife has taken the time and effort to prepare.
Even if it is impossible to make everything by hand, at least one homemade dish is said to make a big difference to the family bond. Family bonding cannot be strengthened by convenience store bento.
The time and effort to make such a dish has been lost.
I digress. To be frank, if you really want to do housework and childcare, you cannot do it while working. It is impossible.
One of our clients told us, “I loved my job, but I couldn’t do housework and childcare because I had to work overtime all the time, so I just left it to my grandmother. (Please do not pry into the identity of the person who left this job.)
Basically, it is impossible to balance housework and work.
However, nowadays it is common for people to work together, so I think it is fine if you and your husband cooperate with each other. However, I hope you will keep in mind that there will still be distortions somewhere.
Those who say, “He went to the trouble of doing it, but the way he does it is not right,” need to have a proper discussion and decide what you want your husbands to do. Otherwise, it is the same as saying, “Don’t help me with housework and childcare”.
I know this may sound insistent, but I am not saying “women should not work”. I have no intention of denying women’s advancement in society, as there are some occupations and positions that require the attention to detail that only women can provide. If women want to work, I don’t mind if they do, since we have equal opportunities now. However, there are many women who want to be homemakers, and I would like to say that the distorted gender equality of today that lumps everyone together in a single category is wrong, as if ignoring this.
◯Nursery schools and nursing homes
It is said that nursery schools and nursing homes cannot be operated without financial support from the government.
As you all know, since women have started working, the demand for nursery schools has increased despite the declining birthrate, and the number of children on waiting lists has been increasing.
However, the more the number of nursery schools increases, the more pressure is being put on the government’s finances.
The same is true for nursing homes.
Simply saying, “The number of children on waiting lists has increased, so let’s increase the number of nursery schools” is a symptomatic treatment. It is the same as saying, “Let’s treat cavities because they have developed,” but if we do not prevent (solve the root of) the problem, cavities will develop again in different places. This will never solve the problem.
“Let’s use immigrants to cover the cost because the population is decreasing.” Or, “There are not enough interpreter guides, so let’s make it possible to guide people without a license.”
It is a very ad hoc and poor way of thinking.
What can we do to prevent this from happening? I think it is necessary to change the way of thinking (preventive measures).
◯Nuclear family and large family
In the past, there was a sense of community-based child-rearing, at least until our time. As evidence of this, we were scolded and patted on the head by neighborhood uncles. Also, in the family unit, grandfathers and grandmothers worked together with us to raise children.
Grandma was especially knowledgeable about child-rearing and other subjects, and her wisdom from the past was useful in raising our children.
Nowadays, these “wise women” have been placed in nursing homes for the elderly and the nuclear family has become the norm, and there is no one left to impart this wisdom to us.
As a result, more and more people have become child-rearing neurotics because they do not know how to know how to raise children. And so an industry of “child-rearing counselors” has emerged.
Isn’t this situation distorted? Of course, some people may have been saved by this, but in the end, isn’t this just a symptomatic treatment?
◯Learning from history
It may be impossible to do so suddenly, but I think what modern society needs is to go back to the old days of Japan.
Why don’t those who say that the way of thinking is old-fashioned try to learn from the history of Japan, the oldest country in the world? This is despite the fact that it is filled with the experience and wisdom accumulated by our predecessors through their hard work. Learning from history does not mean “thinking old”. Rather, it is a forward-looking, future-oriented way of thinking about what to do in the future while borrowing from the wisdom of our predecessors.
◯Everything is connected
If the number of nursing homes and nursery schools is reduced, there will be less pressure on the government’s finances. Fewer people will get sick, and the huge annual medical costs of 50 trillion yen will be reduced. As a result, consumption taxes and other taxes will no longer be necessary.
Food, the declining birthrate, the nursery school problem, and medical costs are all connected.
Because they are all connected, it will be difficult to change them, and it will be impossible to change them all at once. However, I believe that we are approaching an era in which it is necessary to first change the mindset of each and every one of us as citizens.
I believe that learning about history is a very good way to think about how Japan should be left to future generations.
It is somewhat unlikely that Colombia, a small South American country, would be able to make this proposal and achieve global parity of value, nor does it have the national strength to do so.
I think it makes more sense to think that if Colombia were to make a proposal, there are countries and regions that would like to take advantage of it and make it work for them.
Which countries and regions are trying to use these SDGs in reverse?
For example, a global or multinational company could be considered, currently around China.
These issues are forced to be done because the media, steeped in liberalism, makes such a fuss. If we don’t, we are beaten.
The SDGs are not as clean as the Japanese think they are, but are something that is being used successfully by countries and companies that are trying to level the playing field and benefit from each country and each society.
Here is my opinion.
Since ancient times, Japanese have been in awe of and grateful to nature, planting trees on mountains when they cut them down, cutting down the roots of trees so that they will grow back, and using the marrow of whales and made offerings when they catch them. Women were also treated with great respect, as evidenced by the fact that the word “yome” comes from the Japanese word “yoime,” meaning “good woman.
Currently, there are calls for the same number of women legislators and board members as men in the corporate world of politics, but in the first place, they are given equal opportunities. Some men may have despised women, but it can be said that women were not aware of this. Today’s “gender equality” completely misunderstands “equal opportunity” and “equal results.
What happens when you simply have a head count?
For example, suppose you have seven candidates for the board of directors and you decide on a 3:3 male to female ratio of six.
If we were to assign a score to a potential board member as below: Male A: 10 points Male B: 11 points Male C: 12 points Male D: 13 points Female A: 14 points Female B: 15 points Female C: 9 points
Normally, you would be hired as a board member. All four men, plus Woman A and Woman B.
However, because of the 3:3 male to female ratio rule, Male A is not hired, and Female B, who is below Male A in ability, is hired.
Is this a good thing for the company?
Of course, this example would be the same if the genders were switched.
You can see how simply making the head count equal (equal results) is wrong.
I have recently started to look at things that are suddenly coming out and being talked about from the other side. And because of that? I am now able to take in a variety of information and see things for what they are. Generally, behind the sudden appearance of such stories and the media’s loud shouting, there is some interest involved.
Even if you diligently separate plastic bottle caps, the companies that recycle them only make money, and it is sometimes cheaper to make them from scratch than to recycle them. People just vaguely think that they have to separate them, but they don’t bother to investigate why it is necessary and how much it costs.
The same goes for blood donations, decarbonization, etc. Because there are big interests involved. It is ” follow the money.”
The SDGs now feel like a kind of religious doctrine, saying that by equalizing values, “the world will be fine”. This was the goal of the French Revolution and communism, and you all know that these have not worked.
I must say that this is a very shallow idea that if we follow the manual and share the same values, the problems of poverty and inequality should be solved.
The contradiction lies in the fact that they talk about “diversity” but refuse to acknowledge matters that are not in line with the SDGs. Each country and region has its own history, customs, practices, and traditions, and these are the foundation on which the SDGs are built, but they are considered to be obstacles to development and growth.
The most obvious example of this is the state of society for women and children.
What is established in the unique religious and traditional environment of a country or region cannot and should not be easily changed. If we are considering sustainable growth and development based on the very constraints of the region, then a society rooted in the history and traditions of the region would be more appropriate.
