The queen’s words made a “gong” ring
The term “G2 era,” frequently used in the mass media in the past, was rendered obsolete with the inauguration of the Donald
Trump administration in the United States. The European and American establishment has revived the terms “freedom and democracy,” “equality under the law,” and “human rights” from around that time. As someone who has read a great deal of Chineselanguage news (with an anti-Chinese Communist Party [CCP] stance) and English-language news for many years, I noticed thatsomething unusual had occurred in the Western society’s relationship with the CCP government.
At one moment, I felt that a “gong” had rung. This was when Queen Elizabeth, at the May 2016 Buckingham Palace garden
party celebrating her 90th birthday, said Xi Jinping and other Chinese officials had been “very rude.”
The BBC informed the world about this conversation between Queen Elizabeth and a female commander in the Metropolitan Police Service. The queen was talking about the behavior of Chinese President Xi and his officials during a state visit to theUnited Kingdom in October 2015. My intuition told me this was a purposeful statement by Queen Elizabeth, who is loved andrespected around the world. I believe her true intention was to encourage the UK, Commonwealth of Nations, U.S., and others bysaying “the era influenced by the CCP’s ‘red’ maneuvers is over.”The Ise-Shima Summit (G7 summit) was held directly after that in late May 2016. There, even British Prime Minister David
Cameron, who seemed to have formed a close relationship with Xi, said the White House had been overly manipulated by Beijing. The Global Times, a CCP newspaper, immediately counterattacked by saying, “Cameron has excessive hubris and believes
the sun has not yet set on the British Empire.”
During his visit to the UK, Xi became the first Chinese leader to give a speech at both houses of Parliament. He also gave remarks at a dinner. The content was highly inappropriate for these situations. At Buckingham Palace, he emphasized the brutalityof Japan during World War II and repeatedly brought up China’s anti-Japanese view of history. At Parliament, he spread “fakehistory” by saying that Britain and the CCP both fought to oppose Japanese aggression during World War II.
Even more astonishing, Xi displayed a strong stance by saying China began codifying laws 2,000 years in the past, and that
China would not be lectured by the UK about democracy. In other words, he brought to the UK his delusion that a new empire is
replacing the old. Xi seems to believe the British Empire has collapsed, the Chinese Empire has taken control of the world in the
21st century, and that he is emperor of the world.
Prince Charles did not attend the dinner party at Buckingham Palace, nor did he take part in the Beijing Summer Olympics inAugust 2008. People in the know are well aware of his dislike for the CCP. Charles has a longstanding and close relationship withthe 14th Dalai Lama, the foremost leader of Tibetan Buddhism, and Charles and his wife Camilla have welcomed the Dalai Lamato their home. Prince Charles also irritates the CCP by supporting Free Tibet, an organization that works against human rights oppression by the CCP government.

The British Royal Family is vigilant against a communist revolution
Well-informed people who study the British Royal Family say it has a history of “survival.” They also state that the British
Royal Family thinks 50 or 100 years in the future, rather than one or five years from now. Looking at the past century of history,
one can fully imagine the reasons why Prince Charles, who is next in line to the throne, feels great vigilance regarding the CCP.
Prince Charles’ great-grandfather was King George V (1865 – 1936), a maternal cousin of Nicholas II of Russia (1868 – 1918),
the 14th emperor of Russia who was part of the Romanov dynasty. They resembled each other and were also very close. However,
Nicholas II, Empress Alexandra, and their five children were imprisoned by the Bolshevik government (led by Vladimir Lenin)
after the Russian Revolution in November 1917. They were all killed in July of the following year.
It is said that the British Royal Family took Nicholas II as a good example of what not to do, and that they learned two thingsfrom him. The first lesson was that a royal family’s survival is threatened if they lose the hearts of the people and are regarded
with disfavor. Second, they learned about the fearsome nature of communist revolutions. The leaders of the Xi administration,
who advocate the revival of a great “Chinese nation,” are devotees of Mao Zedong and other members of the first generation of
CCP leaders. These past leaders received guidance from the Bolsheviks, who insisted on violent revolution.
At the December 2018 ceremony marking the 40th anniversary of the “Opening of China,” Xi gave a speech in which he said
as follows:
We will uphold our leading position in Marxism and persistently innovate theories founded on practical implementation. The
CCP members today must fulfill their historical duty to develop Marxism in the 21st century.
We will unceasingly promote and together build a “community of shared future for mankind.”
We will hold fast to the path of building a unique, strong Chinese military and work to create powerful armed forces of the topclass in the world.
The Zhongnanhai Marxists are striving for a world ruled by Beijing, and their peculiar disposition means they do not balk atviolent revolution waged with military power. Of course the British Royal Family is vigilant against this. In other words, it is possible that Prince Charles is hostile to the CCP because he sees them as a threat to the Crown, and that he has sustained a positive
relationship with the Dalai Lama as a comrade in arms. Just like the Romanov dynasty met its demise in the era of its 14th emperor, this is also a fight to prevent by all possible means the history of Tibet from ending in the age of its 14th Dalai Lama.
The Iron Curtain of the 21st century
Xi signed a memorandum with Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) strategy during his visit
to Rome in March 2019. This was the first memorandum with a G7 country, and concern broke out that Italy’s pro-China policy
may foster division in Europe. Moreover, at that time the state-owned China Communications Construction and Trieste Port Authority in Northern Italy concluded a memorandum on railway infrastructure building in the port, with the goal of developing aharbor that is the terminus of the “Maritime Silk Road” (the BRI sea route connecting Asia and Europe).
Trieste, a city with a free port on the Adriatic Sea, is located at the eastern point of Northern Italy. It was controlled by theHouse of Habsburg until the start of the 20th century, then annexed by Italy after World War I. Trieste came under the control of
Yugoslavia after World War II and was returned to Italy in 1954.
When I heard Xi was aiming for Trieste, I had a strong response to the name of this city for one reason: Trieste was mentioned
in a speech given by Winston Churchill after stepping down as British prime minister when he visited Westminster College (Missouri) in March 1946 at the invitation of American President Harry Truman. Churchill said, “From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste
in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states ofCentral and Eastern Europe.”
This famous “Iron Curtain Speech” announced the start of the Cold War, and the Soviet Union was in conflict with the Westerncountries for more than 40 years after that. The Eastern European nations built wire, concrete, and other types of boundary walls,
forcing their citizens to live in fear and confinement.
The term “Iron Curtain” was inspired by Russian author Vasily Rozanov’s 1918 book The Apocalypse of Our Time, which
read, “A curtain dropped on Russian history with the descent of an ‘iron curtain’ to the sound of creaks.”
The CCP government was clearly overwriting historical facts and attempting to shift the world to its own era with the name
“BRI.” I think Xi, who went to usurp the Port of Trieste, was enthusiastic about the arrival of an era in which the Chinese Empire (inother words, Beijing) – not the Soviet Union that was destroyed in the 20th century) – is closing in on victory in the 21st century.
The British Royal Family, as well as the Western establishment, has certainly not forgotten these historical facts. Despite this,it seems the Japanese politicians, business leaders, bureaucrats, and mass media do not comprehend the true horror of communism, which is a deadly poison. More than anything, it is a significant mistake to assume the nation and national polity will continue forevermore. Nations are mere living things in this world where survival of the fittest rules. After all, historical facts show

We Are Living a Historic Moment: The Death of the Mass Media That Pandered to the Chinese Communist Party

that states have been born and died, national boundaries have shifted, and national polities have undergone significant changes.
The start of war
The year 2017 was the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution, and 2021 will mark 100 years since the formation of the
CCP. Paradigm shifts have been occurring in the U.S. and other Western societies over the past few years. Based on this, I predicted that this year – the first of fifth-generation wireless technology (5G) coverage – would be one of great turmoil around theworld. I had braced myself for increasingly fierce battles by the Five Eyes intelligence agency (comprising the U.S., UK, Canada,
Australia, and New Zealand) against espionage by the CCP, which has colored the globe red over the past quarter century, and forsomething terrible to happen around the time right before the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games with cyberspace as the main battlefield.
There was also no doubt that the CCP government is leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) in a bid to become the supreme rulerof a surveillance society. The Xi structure is coming to resemble the totalitarian dystopia led by the “Big Brother” dictator depicted in the novel 1984 by British writer George Orwell, which was published in 1949. There was no longer any reason for Western
society to ignore this structure, and they also began ridiculing Xi as the “successor to Joseph Stalin.”
It turned out the war started not in cyberspace, but with the novel coronavirus from Wuhan. Besides the issue of whether thevirus is natural or manmade (or perhaps a biological weapon), it was January 20 when Xi ordered resolute efforts to reduce thespread of this virus and maintain social stability. This was roughly 50 days after the first cases of novel pneumonia caused by the
new coronavirus were reported in Wuhan.
I felt anxious that Japan would be in dire straits due to the upsurge of people traveling between China and Japan during the
Lunar New Year season. On January 31, I received a telephone call from an acquaintance who said, “I want to introduce you to
Dr. Anthony Tu, a Colorado State University professor emeritus from Taiwan.” Tu, who was born in Taipei in 1930 when Taiwan
was under Japanese rule, is an expert in snake venom and other natural toxins. During his career he worked for many years as a
biological weapon advisor to the American government and military, and also gave guidance to the Japanese police after the sarin
gas attack by Aum Shinrikyo regarding how to detect sarin in soil.
I received an email from Tu, who lives in California, and we started corresponding by email around two to three times a day
about the novel coronavirus from Wuhan. In early February, as well-informed people across the globe were theorizing that amanmade coronavirus (or biological weapon) might have leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) or other facility,
increasing numbers of people were questioning the source of the manmade virus and attempting to find out who was responsible.
I knew very little about this field, but Tu sent me his past writings and current work, by which my knowledge rapidly increased in
the span of about one month.
Around that time, I came up with three general theories:(1) The manmade novel coronavirus leaked from the WIV to the surrounding area, just like air. This was similar to the 1979
incident when anthrax was accidentally released from a biological warfare research facility in Sverdlovsk (the Soviet Union).
(2) Bats or other laboratory animals infected with the manmade coronavirus were resold, and people caught the virus wheneating or touching these animals at the market.
(3) A WIV researcher became “patient zero” after making an error while handling the manmade coronavirus in the lab.
In other words, I questioned the story spread by the Chinese authorities who said the virus infected a person who ate a bat at
the wet market in Wuhan, then the virus spread from person to person. And considering what the Xi administration concealed,
I concluded that this could not be a natural coronavirus – that the pandemic is a manmade, not a natural, calamity. Based on mycommunications with the highly experienced Tu, I also conjectured that the virus could be a type of biological weapon. I evensuspected the Chinese authorities were actively using this Wuhan virus.
At any rate, World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus made statements and acted as
an agent of Xi. There is also the issue of the name of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus:“COVID-19.” This stands for“coronavirus disease 2019.” Perhaps their plan was to erase from history the fact that this disease spread around the world from
Wuhan, China.
Journalists work on behalf of the CCP
While spending the majority of my time gathering information about the novel coronavirus, as usual I had no expectations of
the Japanese mass media. Despite this, I was aghast at its stance of intently exercising the “freedom to not report” – of declining
to share information appearing moment by moment around the world, even the views of scientists and experts – and wondered ifthey were working hand in hand with the CCP to kill Japanese people. They decided that discussions on how the Xi administration was concealing the truth, and on the true identity of the Wuhan virus, were entirely taboo.

Journalism is dead, and the government and even the National Diet have ceased to function properly. Once again, I keenly feltthat those playing central roles in Japan were working on behalf of the CCP. Yet my motivation only grew in inverse proportion. I
felt something rather like a sense of duty; along with investigating the truth of the coronavirus, I want to make as many people aspossible aware that we are living a historic moment, including what is happening in the world this very second. When Tu visited
Japan in March 2020, I was able to speak one-on-one with him on Hayashibara Channel, an online program on which I makeregular appearances.
Researchers who have sincere, genuine stances regarding human life spend their days researching while thinking about how
to save as many lives as possible and how we can avoid unnecessary deaths. This is in direct contrast to the people who fervently
study how to skillfully assassinate specific targets and eradicate large quantities of people, as well as the rulers (nations) that order this research and development to take place.
For instance, if we entered an age in which nuclear weapons disappeared from the globe, would that mean there were absolutely no weapons worthy of fear? Unfortunately, that would not be true.
While many people are talking about the “post-corona world,” former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who has been
alive almost an entire century, stated that things will never be the same. The renowned Jacques Attali, the first president of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development who has advised successive French presidents, also said, “I think COVID-19
will totally change the world order,” and, “We must re-create the economy in an entirely new direction.”
Furthermore, torrential rain continually fell near the Three Gorges Dam in China. Floods occurred throughout the Yangtze
River basin, roads became rivers, and approximately 60 million people were evacuated according to information released in midAugust. Typhoons of unprecedentedly large sizes caused major damage in the Yellow River basin and northeast China. Werethese circumstances caused by the wrath of God or are they manmade calamities (such as weather warfare)? The Wuhan virus
and unheard-of, disastrous flooding have stepped up the trend of ending reliance on China, marking the demise of China’s role as
the “world’s factory.” Some have said China will run out of its staple foods within six months, and there is concern that massive
amounts of people may starve to death.
Now is the time to open our eyes and feel nervous about the wartime circumstances we are in while considering the future ofJapan and taking action. From the bottom of my heart, I hope that what awaits on the other side of this “gray tunnel” in the postcorona world is not a snowy landscape or ice age, but rather a brand-new Japan that has broken free from the CCP and its sinister,
communist ways. As a nonfiction author, I will devote myself whole-heartedly to writing about this historic moment we are living.
