No.1075/ Aug.27, 2008 
Fukuda reshuffled Cabinet embarking on a vote-catching policy without fiscal discipline -- They declared consumption tax increase. -- That means complete regression to the old Liberal Democratic Party.

Fukuda replaced 14 persons among 17 persons' cabinet members, and is going to prepare the organization towards this coming general election, pretending freshness. His "strategy" is that "reform" will be shelved, and will embark on financial expansion under the slogan of "business recovery", " life improvement" etc. He is trying to compensate for the balance of accounts by consumption tax increase. However, this poor reshuffled Cabinet makes a presentiment of the end of the Liberal Democratic Party Administration. If they believe that "national" support will be recovered by such policies and they are able to make the Liberal Democratic Party power continue, they do not understand at all the situation where they are placed. The thing that they could organize nothing without such pitiable "Cabinet" with facing the "since party-forming" crisis is teaching that this party is already corrupted, stupefied, and it must be defeated with no way to make.

No.1074/ July.27, 2008 
"A biased education" is prevailing. -- They order to teach that Takeshima is "a Japanese teritory."-- Putting the past maneuver of imperialism on the shelf

The Fukuda Cabinet and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology wrote their opinion that Takeshima is a Japanese territory in "the commentary book" of the course of study of the junior high school virtually, and proposed the policy that teachers should teach to Japanese junior high school students clearly that "Takeshima is a Japanese territory". They started a new maneuver to goad nationalism for the floatage of the government which begins to be got rid of by the whole of "nation". (It is so called a "jingoism" request in a pinch.) They used a deceptive expression to mask their intention, but the aim of this policy is too clear. So the bold-faced excuse to have considered Korea just reveals their vulgar nature. We object to such a danger and harmful maneuver determinedly and appeal for the crush, and call to sweep away the Fukuda cabinet promptly, inheriting the reaction route of Koizumi and Abe, moving to the practice in sequence.
