Episode 24: The 30-Year Assassination of the Japanese Economy — Why Bureaucrats Intentionally Destroyed Growth to Save Their "Bonds"
Welcome back to the underground bunker of Bakuro-cho. Recently, at a medical conference, I listened to a presentation discussing national bonds and interest rates. The speaker talked about interest rates as if they were weather phenomena controlled by God. I had to laugh. Long before that boring presentation, I had already arrived at a completely different, chilling hypothesis. Economists all over the world ask: "Why has Japan failed to recover from deflation for over 30 years? Why are their economic policies so incompetent?" They are asking the wrong question. The bureaucracy did not fail. The 30-year economic stagnation of Japan is not a failure; it is an intentional, flawlessly executed success.
【C:Decerasing market interest rate to Sell National Bonds】 Here is the core of my original hypothesis. To keep selling this massive amount of bonds, they must keep the market interest rates at rock bottom. If the economy revitalizes and funding demand increases, market interest rates will rise. If rates rise, the value of existing bonds crashes, and the interest payments on new bonds will instantly bankrupt the national budget. Therefore, to keep the interest rates down, the bureaucracy must intentionally prevent the economy from growing. They must kill the citizens' desire to buy and invest.
How do they do this?
They raise the consumption tax to crush consumer spending.
They use "Humanitarian Foreign Aid (ODA)" or buy US Treasury bonds to throw excess liquidity (money) out of the country.
They give financial aid to foreign workers and foreign students, knowing that this money will be remitted out of Japan in a few years.
These are not acts of charity. They are massive pumps designed to dump Japan's wealth overseas to prevent domestic inflation and keep interest rates at zero.
[Conclusion: Domesticating People] When economic activity is stagnant, citizens and local businesses cannot survive on their own. They must rely on the government for subsidies and grants. This makes the public incredibly easy to manipulate and control. For the bureaucrats, a shrinking economy is not a tragedy; it is the ultimate management tool. The 30-year decline of Japan was manufactured. It was all done to protect the illusion of their "Bonds."
