4-2.Allegations of falsification of the "Showa Emperor's Monologue
The original autograph by Hidenari Terasaki of the "Showa Emperor's Monologue," which was sold at auction and donated to the Imperial Household Agency in 2018, is suspected of being a falsified deposition of the Showa Emperor.
Immediately after the war, an affidavit of the Showa Emperor was prepared, which was immediately translated into English and submitted to GHQ. The original authentic text in Shuichi Inada's possession disappeared, and the original, which had been transcribed by Hidenari Terasaki after the Showa Emperor's death, was published in 1991 as "The Showa Emperor's Monologue" as it had been discovered. Later, NHK's investigative team found a copy of the English translation in the possession of Brigadier General Fellers, MacArthur's close aide, which was found to contain some of the contents of the "Emperor Showa Monologue" that were different from those in the original. Some pundits speculated that the English translation might have been altered in content from the authentic text, but perhaps it was the other way around. Although it is written in English, the version submitted to GHQ is the correct text in terms of content, and the "Emperor Showa Monologue" transcribed by Hidenari Terasaki seems to have been partially falsified.
For example, a copy of the English text in Brigadier General Fellers' possession read.
If I had vetoed [the vote to start the war] as emperor around November or December of 1941, there would have been terrible confusion. Those around me whom I trusted would have been killed, and I myself could have been killed or kidnapped. In fact, I was as helpless as a prisoner. Even if I had opposed the start of the war, it would never have been known to the people outside Imperial Palace. Finally, a rabid war would have been waged, and no matter what I did, I would have been completely unable to stop it.
(Emperor Showa's Two "Monologues", Makoto Higashino, NHK Publishing, p3)
Here, "In fact, I was as helpless as a prisoner. Even if I had opposed the outbreak of war, it would never have been known to the people outside Imperial Palace." This part was not written in the "Showa Emperor's Monologue." It may have told us that the Showa Emperor was kept "semi-imprisoned" in the palace during the war. And if he had resisted, he would have been told that his trusted advisors would have been massacred and that he himself might have been kidnapped. Supposedly, the Showa Emperor was kept in semi-imprisonment at the palace by "Japanese Nazis" such as Koichi Kido, who was Inner Minister. It is assumed that they were falsified to scratch off the traces of such "Japanese Nazis" after the war.
Fumimaro Konoe, during the first Konoe cabinet, even made a cabinet decision that the emperor of Japan should not speak at any of the Imperial Council meetings where the emperor was present, and the Showa Emperor was forced to do so. The young Emperor Showa was forced into a position of mute and silent approval, even at the Imperial Council. Some of the subjects were suspicious because the Showa Emperor did not say a word during the Some of the subjects were suspicious because the Showa Emperor did not say a word during the Imperial Council. That is probably how the emperor's supreme authority has been trying to be contained. Under the old Constitution, the Emperor was supposed to have the authority to command the Japanese armed forces, but the Showa Emperor recalled, "In fact, I was as helpless as a prisoner."
At the end after the destruction of the Nazis, however, despite the attempted coup d'etat (the kyujyo Incident) that attempted to take over Imperial palace, the Showa Emperor, with the help of Kantaro Suzuki and others, was able to break through the siege and issue the "Gyokuin Broadcasting"(Imperial Rescript on the Termination of the War), thereby expressing his will to the Japanese people for the first time. The pre-recorded voice of Emperor Showa was broadcast over the radio, and for the first time, the Japanese people heard his voice and his intentions directly over the radio. Then, the war could have ended with the acceptance of the Potsdam Declaration, which called for "the permanent elimination of the authority and influence," and the acceptance of Japan's surrender. This allowed Japan to avoid the fanatical ruin that was known as the "100 million all-out crush" and so on.
After the war, the Office of the Inner Minister was abolished on November 24, 1945, about three months after the broadcast of the "Gyokuin," and Koichi Kido was dismissed from the post of Inner Minister.
On December 6, GHQ issued an arrest warrant for nine people, including Fumimaro Konoe and Koichi Kido, on suspicion of being Class A war criminals, Fumimaro Konoe committed suicide by drinking potassium cyanide on December 16, the day he was due to turn himself in, and Koichi Kido turned himself in and was imprisoned at Sugamo Prison.
Hidenari Terasaki was a diplomat, but during the war he was a Japanese agent and was marked by the FBI. Along with his brother Taro Terasaki, who was the director of the U.S. Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he was closely associated with Koichi Kido and Fumimaro Konoe, and Hidenari Terasaki is believed to have been a member of the "Japanese Nazis" group. It is believed that the plan was to erase the authentic text held by Shuichi Inada of the Showa Emperor's deposition prepared immediately after the end of the war, leaving only the deposition falsified by Hidenari Terasaki, which was to be made public after the Showa Emperor's demise. And it may have been published publicly as "Emperor Showa Monologue" in 1991, after his demise. Although the Imperial Household Agency accepted the donation after handwriting analysis confirmed that it was an original autograph of Hidenari Terasaki, it may have been a falsified transcription left behind by him immediately after the war. Hidenari Terasaki died in 1951, so it was not until 40 years later that it was published publicly. The mastermind behind it was probably not Hidenari Terasaki.
Satan's time frame is different from that of a human being with a life span. Nor does Satan think about life as humans do. Satan, who relays mediumship, will try to instill deception in the world, even if it takes decades or even centuries. It will thereby continue to confuse the human world. Without the recognition of Satan as a real threat, this may be unimaginable.
Marcel Duchamp's epitaph was inscribed with these words, which were prepared before his death.
"Besides, it is always the others who die."
It must have meant to Satan that it is the mediumized human being who always dies.
The copies that Brigadier General Fellers had were only a small fraction of the total, but if there is an English translation of the Showa Emperor's statement preserved in the U.S. as an official document, which could be disclosed, the suspicion might be more confirmed.
