This book is an excerpt of key content from “Monthly Intelligence Report,” a paid information program that Maruya has presented for many years, published by Direct Publishing, and has been edited to be easy to read for the general reader. As you read each chapter, you will naturally acquire information literacy applicable to the international community. In modern society, international news and economic trends are closely intertwined with our lives. However, the reality is that it is difficult to fully understand the historical background and national intentions behind these trends through standard news reports alone. This book aims to provide these often-overlooked perspectives and help readers develop the ability to correctly interpret information for themselves. Part 1 looks back historically at Japan’s position in the international community and the influence it has received from other countries, including questions like “Who was behind the assassination of former Prime Minister Abe?”, “Was America behind the Northern Territories issue?”, and “The inconvenient truth about Japan-US relations.” Part 2 offers a multifaceted analysis of global challenges, including “Ukraine’s corruption scandal,” “African proxy wars,” “Investor-driven coups,” and “Questions about global warming.” It offers insights into hidden stories that aren’t revealed in the news. Part 3 explores topics directly relevant to our daily lives, such as “The Mechanisms Behind the Food Crisis,” “The Hidden Side of the SDGs,” “Why Vaccines Are Wary in Developing Countries,” and “A Certain Japanese Policy Decided in Switzerland,” providing clues to understanding how society works. Go beyond mere news consumption and hone your ability to interpret the context. This book is a practical resource for doing just that. It’s a must-read for readers who want to interpret developments in the international community from their own
perspective. Part 1, Chapter 1: The Real Reason For Former Prime Minister Abe’s Assassination p45

Graduated from the Australian National University (Asian Studies and Chinese) and dropped out of the Master’s program at the same university (East Asian Studies and Security Studies). Currently CEO of Alpha Lead, Inc. Visited China at age 13. The Tiananmen Square incident occurred at age 14. After noticing strange behavior among the Chinese students he was interacting with, he was shocked by how far the Japanese mass media’s reporting was from the truth. Since then, he has always sought to view things from multiple perspectives. After studying Asian security at the Australian National University, he went on to provide personal protection for expatriates and VIPs in Papua New Guinea, the Middle East, and Africa, counter-terrorism, dealing with cases of illegal detention and blackmail, negotiating with local governments and tribes, crime prevention, intelligence gathering, surveillance, and propaganda activities against armed groups, the mafia, and local labor unions, and analyzing regional political and security trends. He then completed training in close combat, hand-to-hand combat and arrest techniques, riot control, and basic criminal investigation with the U.S. Marine Corps, and
counter-terrorism, tactical shooting, urban combat, VIP protection, and tracking and surveillance training with a U.S. private military company, earning instructor qualifications. He has also served as security manager at a major U.S. IT company, where he was responsible for preventing information leaks and industrial espionage. In order to make Japan competitive again, he currently presents the paid-member program “Monthly Intelligence Report,” regularly providing analytical information on the background of incidents and conflicts occurring overseas. When the Ukraine war broke out in February 2022, he dispatched an investigative team to the area more than a month in advance to provide on-the-ground information. In the 2024 US presidential election, despite the media reporting Harris as the favorite, he correctly predicted Trump’s victory. His highly accurate information analysis skills have earned him the trust of high-ranking officials in the Self-Defense Forces and overseas intelligence officials. ▼List of qualifications held U.S. Marine Corps ・Random Shooting Incident Response (Close Combat) Training Course: Completed ・OC Pepper Spray (Level 1) Training Course: Completed U.S. Department of Homeland Security (Federal Emergency Management Agency) ・IS-00914 Surveillance Awareness ・IS-00907 Random Shooter Incident Response ・IS-00912 Retail Safety Awareness and Potential Crisis Understanding S-RM (London) ・Ransom and Hostage Initial Response (K&R First Responder) Course Trojan Security International (Multinational Special Operations Training Center, Arkansas, USA) – Advanced Integrated High-Threat Personnel Protection, Counterterrorism, Tracking and Surveillance, and Security Driving Courses – Glock Semi-Automatic Pistol Repair Skills Course – M4/M16 Semi-Automatic Rifle/Carbine Repair Skills Course – AK-47 Semi-Automatic Rifle/Carbine Repair Skills Course – Mossberg Shotgun Repair Skills Course – Certified Instructor Certification (Tactical Shooting, Urban Combat, Personal Protection, etc.) National Rifle Association (NRA) ・Member Number: 141889264 ・Basic Handgun Shooting Course ・Self-Defense Handgun Shooting Course ・Basic Rifle Shooting Course ・Basic Shotgun Shooting Course ・Basic Outdoor Self-Defense Course ・Advanced Outdoor
