Shocking news was reported early December. There was a coup attempt in Germany, which is supposed to be the most democratic and stable country in Europe. The coup was foiled by the German government. The plotters were arrested on December 7th.

Let me quote a BBC news article on the incident as follows. [1]
/quote/
Twenty-five people have been arrested in raids across Germany on suspicion of plotting to overthrow the government.
The group of far-right and ex-military figures are said to have prepared for a "Day X" to storm the Reichstag parliament building and seize power.
A man named as Heinrich XIII, from an old aristocratic family, is alleged to have been central to their plans.
According to federal prosecutors, he is one of two alleged ringleaders among those arrested across 11 German states.
The plotters are said to include members of the extremist Reichsbürger [Citizens of the Reich] movement, which has long been in the sights of German police over violent attacks and racist and antisemitic conspiracy theories. They also refuse to recognise the modern German state.
Other suspects came from the QAnon movement who believe their country is in the hands of a mythical "deep state" involving secret powers pulling the political strings...
... A former far-right AfD member of the lower house of parliament, the Bundestag, is suspected of being part of the plot, and of being lined up as the group's justice minister.
Birgit Malsack-Winkemann, who was among the 25 people arrested, returned to her role as judge last year and a court has since turned down attempts to dislodge her...
... They (the plotters) were made up of active and former members of the military, officials believe, and included ex-elite soldiers from special units. The aim of the military arm was to eliminate democratic bodies at local level, prosecutors said.

There is a possibility that the US and UK were behind the plot. The QAnon movement, members of which were among the plotters, is rooted in the US. [2]
Current world incidents are tracing exactly what happened in 1930s and 1940s.
Just like US banking firms financially supported Nazis of Germany in 1930s, the US and UK have been supporting the Neo-Nazi Kiev government. Just like Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, the Neo-Nazi Kiev government provoked and drew Russia into a war. The US and NATO are supplying weapons to Ukraine and letting Ukraine wage a proxy war against Russia for the US and NATO.
A similar armed coup attempt can happen in Japan too. Just like February 26 incident (a coup attempt in Japan on February 26th 1936), even if they fail, these incidents have effects to move a society toward fascism and militarism. The purpose of coup is to transform Germany and Japan into US proxies that attack Russia and China.
I wouldn't be surprised if a coup attempt is made in Japan within a few years, in which far-right extremists including ex-Japanese self defense force soldiers storm the Parliament building and assassinate pro-China members of the parliament as well as pro-China business people.

Fascism suppresses freedom of speech by violence to wage a war. In fact, in late November, Shinji Miyadai, progressive outspoken professor at Tokyo Metropolitan University, was cut in the neck and back and seriously injured after being attacked by a knife-wielding man at a college campus in western Tokyo. The perpetrator is still at large.
Just like assassination attempt on Prime Minister Hamaguchi Osachi of 1930, League of Blood Incident of 1932 and May 15 incident of 1932, there can be many assassinations of pacifist politicians and businessmen in Japan in coming years in order to transform Japan into a military nation to wage a proxy war against China.

Germany has its own intelligence organization, the Federal Intelligence Service (Bundesnachrichtendienst : BND). Therefore, the German government could foil the coup plot. However, Japan doesn't have its own intelligence organization. So, the Japanese government may not be able to prevent a coup in advance.
The Japanese police is of course monitoring communications between suspicious Japanese people. But, coup plotters can be using communication tools that is undetectable by the Japanese police, or the Japanese police's investigation on coup plotters' communications can be blocked electronically by the US government agencies. For example, the NSA can hack other persons' computers. So, the NSA might also be able to prevent the Japanese police from monitoring coup plotters' communications.

Under the Offshore Balancing strategy, the US doesn’t want to fight directly against China. The US would rather like its regional allies to fight against China. More specifically, the US wants Japan to fight a proxy war against China for the US just like Ukraine is fighting a proxy war against Russia for the US.
The US military and intelligence organizations may manipulate a certain “incident” which would make the relations between China and Japan become hostile and belligerent such as a skirmish or clash of China and Japan’s warships nearby Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea. The Japanese people's dislike and hostility against China would increase. [3]
Activities of Japanese far-right nationalists including Neo-Nazis would become radical. Conservative politicians would emphasize China's threat and advocate beefing up Japan's military.
Then, assassinations of pro-China pacifist politicians and business men would be carried out. Also, a coup attempt would be made by far-right extremists including ex-Japanese self defense force soldiers, which would have effects to move a society toward fascism and militarism. The purpose is to transform Japan into a US proxy that would attack China.
Remember that a coup of 2014 in Ukraine has transformed Ukraine into a Neo-Nazi US proxy that attacks Russia. The US wants to make Japan "a Ukraine of Asia" that attacks China.

The Japanese people should never repeat the same mistake again. The Japanese people should stick to peace, cooperating together with and maintaining good relations with neighboring countries.

In late December 2013, I visited the Capitol Hill of the United States and entered the gallery of the House of Representatives.
As I watched the floor of the House of Representatives, I remembered that this was where President Franklin Roosevelt made "the date of infamy" speech immediately after Imperial Japan made the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941.
In his speech, President Roosevelt said, "the United States was at peace with Japan, and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific."
However, Japan suddenly attacked the Pearl Harbor.
President Roosevelt said, "Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American island of Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to US Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. And, while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack."
Article 1 of the 1907 Hague Convention on the Opening of Hostilities which Japan formally ratified in 1911 prohibited the initiation of hostilities against neutral powers without previous and explicit warning either in the form of a declaration of war or of an ultimatum.
Japan, as a nation, deliberately deceived the United States and slaughtered thousands of unguarded defenseless Americans. It was a sheer crime.
However, in 1941, and even today, most Japanese people regard the Pearl Harbor attack as the most brilliant and successful military operation.
Traditionally, Japanese people have been deciding and acting based upon such criteria as "victory" or "defeat" or "gain" or "loss".
As long as I know, there are seldom Japanese people who decide and act based upon a criterion of "right" or "wrong". Consequently, Japanese people cannot participate in international debates or discussions.
There is no statute of limitations about war crimes. The Japanese people should accomplish by themselves the International Military Tribunal for the Far East which was suddenly suspended in the middle of trial 70 years ago.
