2026 September 18 [Proposal of the Day] A specific verification of the "National Wa-ter Pipeline" initiative to overcome the severe water shortage striking the United States, along with its funding security. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
1 [Introduction: Where the Massive Infrastructure Funds Go] To overcome the severe water shortage sweeping across the United States, this section verifies the specific construction costs and procurement methods of the "National Water Pipeline" esti-mated by American water resource scientists and civil engineers. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
2 [Overview of Total Length and Two Major Routes] This project, which transports water from the south to the north, spans a total length of 2,000 to 3,000 kilometers, envisioning either a route from Louisiana to Nebraska or a western route from the Gulf of Mexico to Colorado. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
3 [Scale and Breakdown of Total Project Costs] Total costs are estimated to reach be-tween 200 billion and 500 billion dollars, with breakdowns anticipated for massive reservoirs, underground pipelines, and dozens of pumping stations. (Yasuhiro Naga-no)
4 [Why Such Massive Costs Are Incurred] Because water is heavier than petroleum, transporting it requires enormous energy, making thousands of kilometers of under-ground laying, cross-state legal procedures, environmental reviews, and large-scale flood-control reservoirs indispensable, thus driving up costs. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
5 [A National Project Rivaling Highway and Oil Networks] The scale of this initiative is a historic national infrastructure project itself, comparable to the vast interstate highway systems and oil pipeline networks the U.S. has achieved in the past. (Ya-suhiro Nagano)
6 [Public Polarization Over New Purpose-Specific Tax Creation] If a federal purpose tax is newly established to fund pipeline construction, public opinion is expected to clearly divide between proponents and opponents, requiring meticulous policy design. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
7 [Simulation of Fiscal Procurement via Consumption Tax] Assuming a total project cost of 300 billion dollars and funding 10 billion dollars annually through a nationwide uniform purpose consumption tax, a simulation indicates amortization over 30 years at a tax rate of approximately 0.5 percent. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
8 [Political Acceptability and Practical Optimal Zone] Carefully considering the balance between economic burdens on citizens' lives and political acceptability, the optimal practical tax rate zone is analyzed to be around 0.1 to 0.3 percent. (Yasuhiro Naga-no)
9 [Breaking Away from Tax Hike Dependency and New Funding Concepts] However, the author's true intent lies in securing entirely new financial resources through the creation of the international framework outlined below, without relying on additional consumption taxes for ordinary citizens. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
10 [Trilateral Military Alliance "G3MA" by the US, China, and Russia] By envisioning a "G3MA" consisting of the three poles of the US, China, and Russia beyond existing frameworks, and building a new foundation for international order stability and peacekeeping, wasteful adversarial structures between nations will be fundamentally eliminated. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
11 [From Fighting Alliances to Creating Alliances: "Global Peace Army (GPA)"] The "Global Peace Army (GPA)," positioned under "G3MA," breaks away from traditional military alliances aimed at the use of force, presenting a new form of defense that creates global-scale peace. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
12 [Transition of All Member States to "Exclusively Defensive Nations"] Under the treaties of G3MA and GPA, all participating nations will be obligated to adhere strictly to being "exclusively defensive nations," encouraging a peaceful shift in the global military balance. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
13 [Generation of Surplus Funds Through Major Reductions in Military Spending] If the entire world shifts to exclusive defense and military expenditures are reduced to less than one-hundredth of current levels, the construction and operating costs of the national water pipeline can be easily generated. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
14 [The Necessity of Making It a Policy Issue in Midterm Elections] This water pipe-line initiative should be raised as a pledge in the 2026 midterm elections, and thor-ough discussions should be held on whether to fund it through tax hikes or realize it through defense spending conversion via G3MA and GPA. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
15 [Deepening the Food Security and Bonds of Allied Nations] Sharing this grand na-tional project to protect America's food and water across the entire U.S.-Japan alli-ance and deepening discussions will become the path to strengthening the unbreaka-ble bonds of allied nations amidst a radically changing global environment.

1. Weekday Edition (Logical Contradictions in Immigration Law Violation Cases - Chapters 1-2)
Part 2: The Immigration Control Act Violation Case [Weekday Edition]
Japan’s judicial system and immigration administration involve severe human rights violations that challenge international standards. Through my own experience, I strongly question Japan's status as a constitutional state governed by the rule of law.
Please first read how I was wrongfully implicated in a case of "Aiding and Abetting the Violation of the Immigration Control Act" in 2010.

[Chapter 1] Case Overview
Autumn 2008: My company (where I serve as President) executed an employment contract with Chinese students holding student visas, promising to hire them upon their university graduation the following spring.
Late 2008: The Lehman Brothers bankruptcy triggered a global financial crisis, resulting in the abrupt cancellation of our upcoming system development projects.
2009: Due to the severe economic downturn, we were forced to rescind the job offers. Consequently, the graduated students had no choice but to continue working at the restaurants where they had been employed part-time during their studies.
May 2010: These former Chinese students were arrested for "Activities Other Than Those Permitted Under the Status of Residence" (Violation of Article 70 of the Immigration Control Act).
June 2010: I and our Chinese recruitment manager were also arrested. The charge brought against us was "Aiding and Abetting" (under the Penal Code) their unauthorized technical employment.
The Prosecution’s Logic: The prosecution asserted that our prior issuance of the employment contract constituted a "false document," which subsequently aided their unauthorized work.
[Chapter 2] Fatal Flaws in Judicial Interpretation
This indictment and subsequent judgment completely disregard fundamental legal principles, relying on an entirely arbitrary interpretation of the law.
Under Article 22-4, Paragraph 1, Item 4 of the Immigration Control Act at that time, submitting false documents merely granted the Minister of Justice the authority to revoke a residency status as an administrative disposition (leading to deportation). The act of submitting false documents itself was not codified as a criminal offense. Logically, one cannot be convicted of "aiding and abetting" an act that is not a crime in itself.
The court’s reasoning followed a convoluted chain of causality:
A residency status was obtained via a false employment contract.
The individuals resided in Japan based on that status.
Consequently, they engaged in unauthorized part-time work.
Therefore, the issuer of the initial contract aided and abetted the unauthorized work.
This is a far-fetched, flawed causal link that completely violates the principles of modern legal logic.
[My Argument]
Confusion of Administrative Dispositions and Criminal Penalties: The Immigration Control Act explicitly designates the consequences for false documentation as administrative measures (revocation of status and deportation). The legal process concludes there.
Absence of a Principal Offender: The actual employers of the restaurants where the students worked were never prosecuted for "Encouraging Illegal Employment" (Article 73-2 of the Immigration Control Act). Under the principle of equality under the law, it is a legal contradiction to punish us for aiding and abetting when the principal employers themselves were not prosecuted.
This same flawed legal doctrine was later improperly applied to diplomats and embassy staff.
Continued in the Saturday Edition.
Part 3: A New Business Model via Special Economic Zones
I propose the establishment of "Special Economic Zones" designed to accept refugees and migrants as "temporary migrant workers," with their residency restricted to these designated zones.
This framework offers a dual benefit: advanced nations secure low-cost labor to drive economic growth, while migrants receive human dignity, secure jobs, and free access to housing, food, healthcare, and education.

2026 September 17 [Emergency Proposal] The National Threat of Extreme Weather: The "National Water Pipeline Initiative" to Save America (Yasuhiro Nagano)
1 [Introduction: The Reality of Climate More Frightening Than War] The true threat facing America is not geopolitical risk, but catastrophic water shortages caused by climate change. From the perspective of protecting the food security of our ally Japan, this paper presents a national project to break through this crisis. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
2 [Spring 2026: U.S. Agriculture Begins with a Triple Hardship] Record-breaking high temperatures, widespread droughts, and severe shortages of meltwater have oc-curred simultaneously. Snowpack in the western mountain ranges has plummeted to a mere 9 to 24 percent of normal levels, shaking the foundation of agricultural pro-duction. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
3 [Extreme Dryness Striking the South and Midwest] Ninety-four percent of Oklaho-ma and over 73 percent of Florida are experiencing extreme to exceptional drought. In Arkansas, pond water levels have reached historical lows, making the depletion of irrigation water all but certain. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
4 [Wavering Trump Support Base and Beef Tariff Suspension] The suspension of beef tariffs has dealt a blow to farmers and ranchers who form the core of MAGA. While support itself is maintained, the rapid decline in enthusiasm for the administration—"wavering votes"—is becoming the spark for the 2026 elections. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
5 [Ranchers' Cries: "We Are Not Happy Supporters"] Many producers complain that "this policy hurts American ranchers." The double punch of inflation and the climate crisis is beginning to erode the structure of political support from within. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
6 [The Food Crisis is an Alliance Crisis] The destruction of the U.S. agricultural and livestock industry, which supports Japan's food self-sufficiency rate, is a vital life-or-death issue for Japan. Because America's food crisis directly means a food crisis for its allies, standing by is impermissible. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
7 [The Enemy Is Not Humans, But "The Monster of Extreme Weather"] Military pow-er cannot stop the runaway climate. The true enemy that Americans must confront with all their might is none other than the monster of extreme weather drying up the land. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
8 [Water Is the Fatal Wound in Rebuilding Cattle Herds] Drought has withered pas-tures, preventing breeding cows from increasing, and herd rebuilding has completely stagnated. Water is the root cause of everything, and water is the lifeblood of the livestock industry. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
9 [The "Water Pipeline" as a National Project] Infrastructure is needed to transport the abundant rainwater in the south, which becomes surplus during hurricanes and floods, to the drought-stricken areas in the north. Technical barriers are already with-in the realm of being overcome. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
10 [Route A: The Core Great Plains North-South Route] This is a grand national arte-rial construction plan starting from the lower Mississippi River basin on the Louisiana coast and sending water through Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas to Nebraska. (Ya-suhiro Nagano)
11 [Utilization of Existing Infrastructure and Relief of the Ogallala Aquifer] There is a realistic advantage of significantly reducing underground infrastructure installation costs and time by utilizing existing oil and gas pipeline networks around Houston. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
12 [The Destination Nebraska and the Restoration of Pastures] Water will be brought to livestock areas such as the Sandhills in Nebraska, which are in crisis due to groundwater well depletion and wildfires, fundamentally restoring pastures and feed production on the verge of collapse. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
13 [The Potential of Route B: The Western Route] This is another arterial proposal connecting the Gulf Coast westward to Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado, serving as an option to alleviate water stress across the arid zone as a whole. (Yasuhiro Naga-no)
14 [Political Hurdles and Fiscal Reality] Experts point out the massive costs and the difficulty of building political consensus. However, if the structural problem of groundwater depletion is left unaddressed, the collapse of the U.S. economy due to reliance on imports will be unavoidable. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
15 [Toward the Main Battleground of the 2026 Midterm Elections] Based on the spe-cific estimated costs to be published tomorrow, make this water pipeline initiative a campaign pledge for the midterm elections. We must start discussions right now to safeguard America's food security. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
