Many people are falling into "learned helplessness" after witnessing the January 2025 general election results. The distortions of the single-seat constituency system, the weakness of opposition parties—yes, these factors exist. They have been repeatedly implanted, especially since the Abe administration. But that's not the essence.
The core lies in one paradox: Constitutional revision, review of the Three Non-Nuclear Principles, full liberalization of weapons exports—these are all things that the post-war victor, the United States, should absolutely never permit.
Yet during the election campaign, Donald Trump made the unprecedented move of publicly supporting Sanae Takaichi. Why?
The answer is simple: America changed its strategy. From a strategy of "keeping Japan down" to one of "arming and using Japan" for control and exploitation.
And this election was the final confirmation test to complete that strategic shift.
First, the nationwide deployment of Sanseito (参政党, "Political Participation Party").
Suddenly, they had the organizational capacity and funding to field candidates nationwide. They absorbed citizen anger through "anti-vaccine" and "anti-globalism" positions—drawing in organic mamas, aging perverts, and senile elderly. But as election results showed, they functioned as a "supplementary force for the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP)." They siphoned off anger energy, reinforcing the LDP system while weakening opposition parties. This too was a strategically designed receptacle by foreign consulting firms.
Next, the sudden merger of the Constitutional Democratic Party (CDP, 立憲民主党) and Komeito (公明党, LDP's coalition partner).
This is crucial. The Party of Hope (希望の党) in 2017 failed. Yuriko Koike announced it publicly, it became a media debate, and her "I will exclude them" statement drew massive criticism. Last time, they brought it into the open and failed.
2025 was different. They learned from the Party of Hope's "mistakes." Komeito, cut loose from the ruling coalition, and the CDP, the largest opposition party, reached complete agreement underwater. Sudden announcement. What about the feelings of Soka Gakkai members? The will of CDP supporters? Completely absent.
Far more violent than the Party of Hope, yet no criticism erupted. Why? Because they gave no time for discussion. Media already controlled and dominated by Takaichi could only report it as a fait accompli.
In other words, the strategic Nihon (ニホン, deliberately written in katakana to denote a controlled, inauthentic "Japan") control system by foreign consultancies is learning. From the 2017 "failure," how to neutralize voter backlash? Answer: speed. Don't give them time to think.
Shinjiro Koizumi, elevated by last year's rice scandal, is now Defense Minister, signing weapons contracts abroad during this very election period. A Japanese politician became an American arms salesman.
Sanae Takaichi has controlled media since the Abe administration, and her collusion with GAFAM companies like AWS (Amazon Web Services) is obvious. She retaliated against Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications bureaucrats who tried to stop her by leaking internal documents. Yet she violently rejected and trampled on this—and everyone has already forgotten.
And PM Takaichi's March trip to "receive instructions from Trump" was confirmed before the election. That's why she couldn't discuss specific policies during the campaign. Japanese policy isn't decided in Japan. It's decided within America's profit structure.
Why did this script proceed "as predicted"? Because all citizen behavior is visible.
First Layer: Living Infrastructure = Surveillance Apparatus
All of this is the SoftBank/SBI ecosystem. In other words, one corporate group holds the entire nation's life data.
LINE: Used by nearly all citizens. Who talks to whom about what.
Yahoo Japan: What people search for.
PayPay: What people buy, where they use it.
SBI + Local Bank Acquisitions: Where money is, how it moves. Local economies, local human relationships, local political funding flows.
Agoop: Location data. Who moved where. Did they attend demonstrations? Go to gatherings?
App Ape: Smartphone internal surveillance. What apps are used, what's being viewed.
Google: Under the benevolent mask of "regional revitalization" and "problem-solving," they control local government data. Municipal employees and assembly members gladly cooperate. They hand over data without realizing it.
Second Layer: Integrated Analysis
Palantir: The analysis company founded with CIA funding. Integrates all the above data and generates "predictions." Its introduction is expanding across Japanese local governments, police, and administration. It creates election result predictability.
Third Layer: System Design
Foreign Consultancies (McKinsey, Accenture, Deloitte Tohmatsu, etc.): Redesigning Japan's administrative system itself. My Number system, Digital Agency, DX for each ministry. Foreign consultancies know more than Japanese bureaucrats. They're designing the election system too.
In other words:
Where you are (Agoop)
What you're doing (App Ape)
What you're searching (Google/Yahoo Japan)
Who you're talking to (LINE)
What you're buying (PayPay)
Money flows (SBI Soft Bank Group)
Inside local administration (Google regional revitalization)
Everything is visible. Integrated and analyzed by Palantir, executed by systems designed by foreign consultants.
That's why Governor Hanakaku and the assembly could ignore Niigata's 150,000 petition signatures. This system predicted it was "safe to ignore." in 4-18-2025.
Many of the signers use LINE, shop with PayPay, and search for information on smartphones. Agoop tracks their movements. Where they live, how they behave, who they're connected to. All data.
Palantir analysis can predict "this signature movement won't affect election results." Why? Because signers' voting behavior patterns are visible. Which parties they support, which candidates they're likely to vote for. SNS statements, search history, purchase history, movement patterns—predictions are possible from everything.
So the governor could confidently ignore it. The assembly too. Because it's proven in numbers.
The Takaichi administration advocates for a spy prevention law and the creation of a National Intelligence Bureau. Don't think of this as "strengthening national sovereignty."
Look at the world. The EU is strengthening personal information protection and regulating GAFAM's surveillance capitalism. Legal frameworks for underage SNS restrictions are advancing to protect children from SNS.
Japan is the exact opposite. Legalizing SNS surveillance, expanding wiretapping, opening citizen data to foreign surveillance technology companies. Calling this "spy prevention" is deception. In reality, it's the legalization of citizen surveillance.
The forced integration of the My Number Card into health insurance also means the completion of this system. The citizen identification, tracking, and behavior guidance system that has been assembled step by step since 2011, post-disaster, was completed in 2025.
International Comparison:
EU GDPR: Strict consent requirements, data minimization, right to erasure. Heavy fines for violations (up to 4% of global revenue).
South Korea: Personal Information Protection Act strengthened after multiple data breach scandals. Active citizen movements for digital rights.
Japan: Moving in the opposite direction. Mandatory digital ID integration, expanded government data access, partnerships with foreign surveillance companies.
Now back to the initial paradox. Why does the victorious nation America permit Japan's constitutional revision, review of the Three Non-Nuclear Principles, and weapons export liberalization?
The answer is China. More precisely, the underwater cooperative confrontation structure between the US and China. While superficially confrontational, both countries profit by keeping Japan in a "managed state of tension." The possibility of a Taiwan contingency, the Senkaku issue, North Korean missiles—these are stage props that fix Japan as "a frightened ally."
And now America is seeking to reduce its own military spending. So they arm Japan, make Japan buy American weapons, and have Japan function as American proxy forces.
Constitutional revision and nuclear armament are not Japan's "independence." They are a deeper form of subordination.
Defense Minister Koizumi signing weapons contracts worldwide isn't for Japan's defense. It's for America's military industry. Reviewing the Three Non-Nuclear Principles isn't for Japan to "possess" nukes, but to "deploy" American nukes. Liberalizing weapons exports isn't for Japanese corporate profit, but for Japan to become part of America's weapons supply chain.
The reason Trump supported Takaichi is obvious. She's the most obedient executor. Her collusion with GAFAM, track record of media control, understanding of surveillance technology, cooperative relationships with foreign companies like Palantir—a perfect choice.
What did this election prove? That elections are no longer a place for citizen choice.
Sanseito absorbs anger. The CDP-Komeito merger eliminates opposition. Media defends Takaichi. SNS censors dissenting opinions (I was permanently banned from Meta). My Number makes voting behavior trackable. Foreign consultants design the election system. Palantir analyzes voter behavior.
LINE, Yahoo, PayPay, SBI, local banks, Agoop, Apptape, Google—all of these predicted before the election who would vote how.
That's why it was "as predicted and beyond 100%." Everything expected happened, and it was even more blatant than predicted. They're not even hiding it anymore.
This is not conspiracy theory. Everything is public information. Corporate contracts have been announced. Government documents are (partially) readable. It's just that no one is looking at the overall connections. Media only reports fragments.
No need for despair. If the structure becomes visible, countermeasures also become visible.
What they fear most is this system becoming visible. That's why I was banned from Meta. That's why they're trying to create a National Intelligence Bureau and control speech with a spy prevention law.
Conversely, we still have the power to make it visible. Writing, speaking, recording, connecting.
Even banned from Facebook, there's Paragraph. There's Nostr. There's Mattermost. There's physical face-to-face contact. Like what I did for three years in Minami-Soma. Meeting face to face, eating together, talking. This alone the system cannot completely control.
Just as EU citizens won personal information protection, just as Korean citizens launched the Candlelight Revolution. The system is not perfect. There are always gaps.
The 2025 election was "as predicted." But being predictable means the system has patterns. If there are patterns, resistance is possible.
No need for "election depression." Just understand this wasn't an election. It was a completion ceremony for Japan's control system. But after ceremonies, reality always comes.
And in reality, we still have ground to stand on.
Note on terminology:
Nihon (ニホン): Written in katakana throughout the original Japanese text instead of the usual kanji (日本) to denote an inauthentic, controlled version of Japan—a deliberate stylistic choice to indicate the nation has become a managed entity rather than a sovereign state.
Foreign Consultancies: Primarily McKinsey, Accenture, Deloitte Tohmatsu, and other major consulting firms that have effectively taken over Japanese administrative system design.
Palantir: CIA-funded data analysis company now deeply embedded in Japanese government infrastructure, creating unprecedented predictive capabilities over citizen behavior.
