Excerpts from the books. I don't have the entire booklets, nor have I read them, but these are what was published in the
Democrat and Chronicle:
The following exerpts are expamples of what "japan: 2000" has to say on different topics.
On cultures: "The cultures of the West and East are worlds apart and very few values are shared. We often fail to understand that Japanese culture does not assume human nature is fundamentally good; (it) is not directed by uniform principles of behavior or dogma similar to our own."
On values: The Japanese have different values which, by definition, "are not designed to benefit the rest of the world."
There is also no equivalent of the concept of "fairness" in Japan. "The weak, downtrodden, and the failed do not receive sympathy in Japan, but rather contempt."
On morailty: In Japan, issues such as the morality of power are irrelevant. "The essential amorality of the Japanese paradigm is in direct conflict with widely and deeply held Western moral imperatives."
On power: "The struggle for economic power is paramount. The group, and by extension, Japan as a nation, must win at any cost. In their value system, almost any tactic is acceptable."
On race: Japan is a country obsessed with race purity and intolerant of deviant behavior. It practices "systematic discrimination against non-mainstream Japanese and foreign workers, even those who marry foreigners."
On Japanese history: "Japan's centuries old philosophical/religious/cultural base provides a historically accepted and unrelenting long-term suppression of both thought and action . . . these beliefs pervade the culture and are reflected in every mainstream Japanese action."
On propaganda: A "steady drumbeat" of Japanese propaganda suggests that Japan is changing and that trade imbalances unfavorable to the United States will be adjusted.
In fact, this is not happening and the propaganda is intended merely to "lull Americans" into believing that the two economies are converging, to mutual advantage.
"Since relatively few people in the U. S. realize the nature, scope or impact of Japanese economic, political and propaganda manipulation, there is no effort to counter it."
But wait, there's much more
