Chapter 120 tricks to deceive the people

Obviously, the current government and bureaucrats are not honest with the people at all, but the formation of this situation is closely related to the people who cannot think. It can be said that the people themselves do not realize that this behavior of the government is tantamount to collective hypnosis.Politicians, intellectuals, and the media need only think a little bit to see through some of their tricks.Unfortunately, no one has done so, and no one has pursued it.Because for them, a society with low IQ is more beneficial, and they will get more benefits from standing on the side of the government and bureaucrats than on the side of the people.

Next, I would like to summarize the "tricks used by the state to deceive the people". "Telling dog meat as sheep's tricks", to put it simply, is "replacing the signboard".If an ordinary store changes its signboard, it will make people think that it is a new store, but when you go in and take a look, you will find that it is still the same as before. In 2001, the "Social Insurance Agency" became the "Japanese Pension Agency" is a typical example.After the unknown whereabouts of the pension was revealed, the government should disband the organization and hold the parties accountable. However, apart from changing the brand name, there has been no substantial change.

The same is true when the "road corporation" is privatized.Loans were postponed, no one was held accountable, the organization was split into four and transformed into a limited company.Rather than saying that most of their work is "for the people", it is easier to understand that it is "for the bureaucracy". There is also "debt exchange".When the repayment period of the national debt expires, the state has no intention of repaying it at all, so it continues to issue new IOUs of the same amount.It was supposed to be "unable to return", but because no one complained, the IOU was changed secretly, that's all.

The same is true for "financial investment bonds".The financial investment debt is the money that the Ministry of Finance secretly borrowed without the approval of the National Assembly (that is, the people) due to the deficit of special corporations managed by various agencies.However, since the Ministry of Finance is guaranteed by the state, once it is time to return it, of course it will be withdrawn from the national tax. "No notice" is the best form of deception to make people feel okay. The issue of pensions for civil servants is a good example. Since 2007, civil servants have generally begun to retire, but municipalities that cannot afford pensions have emerged in endlessly, and these municipalities are unknown to residents.

Unlike private enterprises, the pensions of civil servants are determined in advance according to the length of service and the final salary level.How many years of work and how much salary can be achieved? These figures are obviously easy to calculate, but these figures are concealed until retirement.Because if you say "no", maybe you don't need to "pay".What they did for this was issue "retirement subsidy bonds".In other words, pensions are paid with loans, and the pensions of retired civil servants will be paid with loans in the future, and the bills for the loans will be passed on to the public.

In 2007, 115 municipalities decided to issue retirement subsidy bonds. In 2006, the amount of debt was 12 billion yen, and it was 85.2 billion yen at the end of 2007. It is clearly on the rise and will continue to increase in the future. Although this incident is a bit outdated, I think this is the most typical example-the "three non-nuclear principles" strongly advocated by the Japanese government is actually a very perfect lie. In 1980, when Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone was in office, he said that "ships of the U.S. Navy carrying nuclear weapons may pass through Japanese territorial waters." Three principles.

However, this kind of thing is very obvious, and I pointed it out very early, because I hope that this kind of "playing stupid" by the government is enough, almost enough.But the government's explanation is that if the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and nuclear-powered submarine of the US military travel from Guam to Nagasaki and Sasebo, they should be loaded with nuclear weapons when they leave the port from Guam.But when they arrived in Sasebo, Japan, the nuclear weapons were gone. So what is this not "playing stupid and deceiving"? When I was studying abroad at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, I studied nuclear engineering. Almost half of my classmates were crew members of nuclear-powered submarines.When they heard this, they were all very surprised, and then asked each other, "Did you hear that nuclear weapons are going to be dropped into the sea every time you go to Japan?" This clearly pointed out the lies of the Japanese government.

In other words, the state did not start to deceive its citizens recently, but has always been.
