The absurd “quantitative monetary easing” (2001–2006) that decisively triggered Japan’s “Lost 30 Years of Heisei Deflation”—a period that greatly contributed to the decline of Japan, which at the end of the Showa era had been the world’s second-largest economic power, accounting for nearly 10% of global GDP—was met with criticism. In response, low-altitude flight training by Japan Self-Defense Force UH-1 helicopters from the Kita-Utsunomiya Garrison (in Hajime Funada’s home district of Tochigi 1st District) was repeatedly conducted from morning till night for over a decade directly above the residence of one such critic, as a form of harassment.

The foolish members of the old Takeshita faction, who were pro-Chinese Communist Party and followed the “Sonno Joi” (Revere the Emperor, Expel the Barbarians) tradition of hostility toward Western powers, were mostly remnants of the Ouetsu Reppan Domei (Tohoku domain alliance) or leftover idiots from the Tokugawa side. They include:

*Hiromu Nonaka, despite being from Kyoto, publicly came out about his origins as a *burakumin* (outcast/eta) descendant.
