Crime Against Humanity: Pensée Unique in Economics, 67

Now, we know the concept of investment is “making a sacrifice today in exchange for something better tomorrow”, but we do know just as well the concept of swindle is “making a sacrifice today (to the advantage of the swindler) in exchange for something better tomorrow (a pie in the sky that will never come about)”. And thanks to Werner’s investigation and evidence we now know as well that these structural reforms are anything but a requisite for a “sustainable economic growth”. In a word, we know these are deliberate lies.
Moreover, I previously observed that hardly there could be another reason for the downfall of Japan under neoclassical siege than a fifth column unlocking its gates from the inside, and that therefore our next step is, “who?” Well, Werner informs us that “The Bank of Japan and its present or past staff have been the most consistent proponents of structural reform in Japan. The reports by commissions headed by former key Bank of Japan governors, namely the Sasaki Report of 1983 and the Maekawa Reports of 1986 and 1987, attracted much attention. In terms of their content they reiterated many of the views of US trade negotiators. Somewhat less known, though closely resembling their content, are the frequent statements made by past or present Bank of Japan staff during the 1990s. Their speeches and statements are remarkably consistent in arguing that the central bank had done all it could, and that instead it was up to the government to implement far−reaching structural reform. The Bank of Japan’s Okina (1999), for instance, warned: ‘What monetary policy alone can do is limited … the BoJ has taken the utmost efforts to promote monetary easing … But monetary policy alone cannot guarantee a return of the economy to a sustainable growth path. To this end, it is essential to solve structural problems.’” And thanks again to Werner’s investigation and evidence we now know these are more deliberate lies. And we can at this point get an idea of who the fifth column is.
