Why Is the West So Rich? (What Happened to Japan Is Happening Now to Germany. I think about giving up).

First, I want to say that I’m thinking of taking a break from posting. I really wanted to do something meaningful to show people the truth. However, I’m not even sure if Alex or Alexander saw what I posted. I also want to apologize for any issues I may have caused with the site. I still can’t access it from my phone, and now my friends can’t access it either—from their phones or PCs. While I’m writing and posting, I don’t even know if people can see my content, and it seems like the site is crashing. I assume it’s because I got too close to the truth. I suspected something like this might happen. You don’t get silenced for telling lies; you get silenced when you get too close to the truth. I believe The Duran was also getting too close to the truth.

Anyway, thank you to everyone who has read my ramblings. I truly wish more people could see the truth, but it seems like that’s not possible. All I’ve ever wanted is for people to read my posts and understand what’s really happening. If you can, please spread my posts or even repost them as your own—I don’t care, as long as people see them.

I don’t claim to know or understand everything, but I’ve tried to explain how Germany created its neocolonial project through the European Union. Essentially, Germany was pushing boundaries, and the U.S. tolerated it—up to a point. As long as Germany was oppressing only Eastern Europe, no one cared. But when Germany started causing problems for Western Europe, the U.S., with the support of other European countries, decided to push back. In my view, this situation is very similar to what happened with Japan. I admit that I don’t know everything about Japan’s situation, but I’ve heard it described as the U.S. telling Japan to “sit down,” and Japan complying. Similarly, Germany seems to be “sitting down” and letting the U.S. dominate it.

I don’t know why this is happening. Maybe it’s connected to the fact that Japan’s post-war economy was partly built on war loot gained from wartime crimes—just as Germany’s economy was. Like I said, I don’t know all the details, but the way Japan allowed the U.S. to put it in its place reminds me of how Germany is acting now.

The most ironic thing for me is Germany’s response to its current problems. They have issues with the European Union and are essentially trying to suspend Schengen and close borders. If you’re European, imagine Poland, Greece, or any other country trying to close borders and suspend Schengen because it didn’t suit them. There would be an uproar! It’s funny how European rules were strictly enforced during Greece’s economic crisis, even when those rules harmed Greece. But when those same rules are inconvenient for Germany, they simply suspend them.

A great example is the migration crisis. Germany imposed penalties on Poland and Hungary for refusing to accept refugees from Africa and Arab countries. But when the war in Ukraine began, and Poland took in millions of Ukrainian refugees, Germany refused to accept more Ukrainians. So, taking in refugees is important when it benefits Germany, but when it doesn’t, refugees don’t matter. This shows that European “cooperation” is a myth. The European Union has always been a neocolonial project for Germany. In the past, every European country had to make sacrifices under the guise of “European solidarity,” but these sacrifices were designed to benefit Germany at the expense of others. Now, for the first time, so-called European solidarity requires Germany to sacrifice for others. When that happens, Germany complains about a lack of solidarity—because, to them, solidarity means “others must benefit us Germans.”

The European Union was never about solidarity; it was about oppression and neocolonialism. Now that Germany can no longer dominate others through the EU, they complain about fairness. This hypocrisy is infuriating. Germans talk about solidarity without understanding the reality—they don’t realize how hypocritical their statements are because they genuinely believe in the myth of European cooperation.

To conclude, think about Japan’s situation and ask yourself if it’s not similar to what’s happening with Germany and the European Union. In my opinion, it’s very similar. Japan was getting out of line, and the U.S. put it in its place. Likewise, Germany pushed boundaries with projects like Nord Stream and manipulated other European countries through the EU. Now, with the help of other European countries, the U.S. is putting Germany in its place. I’m not sure if the U.S. also received help from other countries during the Japan incident, such as South Korea, but the parallels are striking.

“A vivid example of this is the Plaza Accords of 1985, where the United States and other Western nations, later becoming the G7, orchestrated a massive devaluation of the dollar against the yen to curb Japan’s rising economic power. The real purpose behind these policies wasn’t trade balance or whatever neoliberal nonsense but simply protecting U.S. industry from foreign competition—a tale as old as capitalism itself.

In the five years before the Plaza Accords, the dollar had gained 44% against other currencies, resulting in record trade deficits and making American goods increasingly uncompetitive abroad. U.S. economists, backed by institutions like the Institute for International Economics, lent support to pressuring Japan to engineer a revaluation of the yen to boost U.S. trade. This manipulation led to massive asset bubbles within Japan’s economy. Japan’s policymakers, desperate to mitigate the impact of the high yen, relaxed interest rates to stimulate growth. By the late 1980s, the resulting bubbles in real estate and equities grew out of control, hurling the economy into a high-yen recession due to a forced appreciation of the yen by roughly 73% between 1985 and 1988.

The consequences for Japan were devastating. With exports now too costly to compete, Japan’s profits plummeted, domestic spending dried up, and economic growth stalled—a trend that persisted throughout the 1990s and is arguably the reason for Japan’s continued economic stagnation for the last 30 years. Behind closed doors, the U.S. Treasury worked with Japan’s Ministry of Finance in secret meetings to ensure this outcome, demonstrating just how much control Washington held over Tokyo’s economic policy.

G7 deputies coordinated these details, culminating in the announcement made from The Plaza Hotel that they’d support an “orderly appreciation” of non-dollar currencies, carefully avoiding the word “intervention” even though that’s exactly what it was. By 1995, American pressure had pushed the yen down to an artificial rate of 80 yen per dollar—dramatically different from the 360 yen per dollar it held in 1971.

For those who don’t like the economics of all this, basically, it meant that exports and production became way too expensive, which naturally destroys economic growth. No country would do this to their own economic structures unless they were forced to, metaphorically at the point of a gun.”

For me, this sounds similar to what is happening now. Anyway, I would like to say one more thing. I wrote a long time ago that I hoped the Nord Stream lie would help unveil the 9/11 lie. Now people see through the Nord Stream lie, but blowing up pipelines is one thing, and I hoped that once they saw it, they might understand 9/11. While Nord Stream is just economic sabotage of infrastructure, 9/11 involved killing 3,000 of your own citizens. If people understood that the US killed 3,000 of its own citizens, all to secure a narrative for future wars, maybe—just maybe—if people understood that, their faith in our system and society would be broken, and the rest of the horrible truths could come out.

In the end, I would like to leave you with a few fragments from the TV show Mr. Robot. It’s a great show, but it should be interpreted metaphorically rather than literally.

“I’m gonna lead a bug-free life from now on, anything to protect my perfect maze.” That maze represents the naive world I often write about—a world shaped by propaganda, in which most people live.

“My internal fatal error from which my system cannot safely recover.” That “internal fatal error” symbolizes the truth. He is trying to numb himself mentally, but “the screaming in my mind” that keeps returning represents the knowledge of truth and his conscience urging him to act on it. This story serves as a metaphor or allegory for people who attempt to mentally numb themselves to avoid confronting the truths they already know. While some succeed, others cannot.

In the end, I saw people mentioning God many times in the comments. I have written many times about God, and that I do not see Jesus as the son of God, but as a great man, thinker, and philosopher. I view Jesus as a philosopher, a scientist, and a man of logic. In this way, I see him as someone simply following Socrates’ steps, trying to describe our world using logical analysis. I do not believe in the Christian God, but in the God of Jesus as I see it—the God of logic, truth, and science. As Albert Einstein once said, “My sense of God is my sense of wonder about the universe.”

God is not going to help you; God is within you and in all of us. So when you ask God for help, you are essentially asking yourself for help. They want you to ask God for help while not understanding that God is within you. As long as you don’t realize this, you will keep asking yourself for help, and nothing will change. You won’t understand that, in reality, you are asking yourself for help. God becomes a scapegoat—after all, you ask for help, but God doesn’t respond. So, what else could you have done? God is not external; God is within us. God will not change or fix the world—we are the ones changing it, and we will have to fix it. Through our work, you could say God will save the world, but only when we understand that God is not outside of us—God is within us, God is us!

“The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.”

― Albert Einstein

It’s time for me to put a blank stare on my face and hide in my perfect maze, among the rest of them.
