Mitsubishi, Abe, weapons of mass destruction, landmines, and revision of Article 9 of the Japanese constitution

In the latest SGI Quarterly, there is an article on a woman fighting to eradicate landmines in Africa. Probably many African landmines are manufactured by SGI's partner Mitsubishi. Either way, SGI's rhetoric of peace and preserving Article 9 at all costs rings hollow for supporting Abe and partnering with Mitsubishi.

  3. The Soka Gakkai followers have created this situation through its donations that go to Mitsubishi Bank that have invested in the military industrial complex . The greedy Gakkai/Komeito mutants have their snouts buried in the money trough, they have no respect for those that they are supposed to represent or anyone else

    Violates the Constitution

    I’m strongly against this legislation. It violates not only our democratic culture but also our peaceful Constitution. It’s one of the most dreadful and shameful political behaviors after World War II. Mr. Abe surely represents big business powers and military industries rather than us, citizens.

    The biggest problem is that they are bulldozing what may decide the nation’s direction without squarely addressing the real issue. It is clear that this requires a national referendum on a constitutional amendment.

    The government failed to collect enough evidence to persuade people about changes in the global situation that would necessitate this. Even if that is the case, an amendment to the Constitution is needed.
