Nihon wa Ryakudatsu Kokka America o Suteyo
Nihon wa Ryakudatsu Kokka America wo Suteyo
Business Sha, Janurary 2007

Japan, cast off America, the nation of plunderers
-- No need for globalization or shared illusions --

"I now hold neither affection nor goodwill toward the United States. Indeed, it could be said I've run out of patience, for now the only feeling that arises when I think of the country known as the United States is disappointment. I no longer feel any attachment. I don't even feel nostalgia."

This proposal is for the people of Japan by Mr Totten, who in 2006 was finally able to cast off his US citizenship and become a citizen of Japan.
