Part 1: In 2026, Japan and the U.S. Began “Going Mad in the Same Direction”

[Eyecatch]

“In 2026, Japan and the United States began going mad in the same direction.
At that moment, the clock of civilization began to move.”

◆ Introduction: February 2026 — The World Quietly Began to Boil

As we head toward February 2026,
Japan and the United States have begun—almost as if coordinated—to go mad in the same direction.

In Japan, ahead of the Lower House election, enthusiasm for a “high‑pressure economy” is spreading.
Fiscal expansion, tax cuts, and monetary easing are now being discussed simultaneously.

In the United States, an abnormal nominal growth rate of 9% has been announced,
and markets may soon begin whispering,
“This is not a celebration—this is a prelude to catastrophe.”

This simultaneous madness in Japan and the U.S. is no coincidence.

Rather, the institutional fatigue that has quietly accumulated for more than a decade
is converging on the single point called 2026.

◆ Main Text: Why Did Japan and the U.S. Go Mad in the Same Direction?

**① Abenomics → Trump → Sanae → Trump 2.0

This chain reaction created the boiling point of civilization**

• Abenomics’ unprecedented monetary easing produced yen depreciation and dollar appreciation
• U.S. Midwest manufacturing declined, giving birth to the Trump administration as a political revolt
• Trump praised Abenomics and implemented an American version of it
• Japan then “re-imported” the consequences, giving rise to Sanaenomics
• And in 2026, Trump 2.0 once again raises the banner of a high‑pressure economy

Japan and the U.S., referencing each other’s policies,
fell into a state of policy resonance,
running in the same direction without pause.

② The Currency Debasement Trade Reveals a “Civilizational Weakness”

Markets detect shifts in civilization earlier than states do.

What is quietly unfolding in global markets in 2026 is the
currency debasement trade:

• Currencies of heavily indebted nations are sold
• Currencies of less indebted nations are bought

The yen and the dollar are no longer absolute safe assets.

This is a warning that
the foundation of civilization—trust in currency—is beginning to shake.

③ 2026 Will Become a “Boiling Point of Civilization”

2026 is the year when multiple crises converge:

• High‑pressure economies in Japan and the U.S.
• Decline in currency quality
• Runaway long‑term interest rates
• Affordability crises
• Political revolts
• Market revolts

When these overlap,
civilization reaches its boiling point.

◆ Conclusion: Crises Do Not Erupt Suddenly—They Accumulate

The crisis of 2026
is not something that appears out of nowhere.

It is simply the institutional fatigue that has accumulated for more than a decade
moving toward a civilizational boiling point
through the synchronized policies of Japan and the United States.
