Japan has launched its biggest intelligence restructuring since World War II, creating a new centralized system built around the National Intelligence Council and the National Intelligence Bureau. For decades, Japan has relied heavily on US intelligence capabilities. Now, Tokyo appears to be bolstering its domestic apparatus, and the shift is raising questions: What is driving it? Does it signal a transformation of Japan’s postwar security approach? And what could it mean for regional stability?

@Zil A few years back, Japan announced their non-pacifist status and announced their militarization. Both steps were bold steps indeed away from the Americans.
A few days back Japan announced their own central intelligence agency, since they no longer trust nor want to rely on the CIA which is for the most part amalgamated with the Mossad.
Japan quietly walking away from America and Americanism.
At Justice Node we created the Japan Workbench in order to develop and update our knowledge of Japan and better understand the Japanese.
Japan has already commenced militarization and this move away from the American intelligence services clearly indicates that they are worried about the integrity and truthfulness and good will of the CIA which today is amalgamated with Mossad thus prepared for set the planet ablaze with more and more genocides.
All of us need to study and learn from the militarization of Iran and learn from the new militarization and centralization of intelligence in Japan.
Japan Workbench is Justice Node’s first innovative preemption for us The Ordinary Peoples to safeguard the people of Japan and ward off the evil of Japan’s militarization.
