興味深い点：訴訟に参加している「歴史修正主義者」が，実際に記録された歴史にこだわっている．
要約すると，解っていることは：
1) 70年以上前，戦時中，日本軍は「慰安婦」所を各地に展開していた．その時期とそれ以前にも米国人が同じ事をやっていた．これはいろいろな資料に記録されている．別に日本やアメリカをせめるつもりはない．ほぼ全ての慰安婦は志願によって集められた．ブローカーによってだまされたケースも散見される．滅多に無かったことだがインドネシアやフィリピンでは日本人も関わっていた．戦後，これらの日本人兵は処刑された．もう一度言う．これは非難しているわけでもなんでもないし，実際の歴史学者に非難されている点でも無い．
2) 1945年に戦争が終わった．計画的なセックス奴隷が存在したとの主張は一切無かった．慰安婦制度は別に非難されていなかったのだ．ほぼ全員が売春婦であった．これは疑う余地が無い．これまで韓国には売春婦宿が沢山あった．戦後数十年にわたって韓国は米軍に売春婦を提供するポン引きであった．（122人のかつての売春婦が，米軍に対する売春サービスのポン引きをした件で韓国政府を訴えている）
3) 1965年，日本と韓国間における全ての戦後賠償が確定した．これは日本からの8億ドルの補償を含む．韓国の朴大統領は，戦時中日本軍の将校であったが，この補償によって韓国を代表して和解した．
4) 1973年，ある日本人が戦時中のセックス奴隷についての本を出版した．すぐに本の嘘がばれ忘れ去られた．
5) 1978年，日本の左翼主義者によって，済州島で考え出したストーリーに由来する似たような主張の本が出版された．すぐに韓国と日本の学者たちによって内容が嘘であることを指摘され，著者（日本の共産党員）も，セックス奴隷にするために200人の韓国人女性を誘拐し，戦争犯罪に関わったという話を作り上げたと，明白に認めた．
6) 1980年代初頭，朝日新聞が，1978年の本のストーリーをあたかも本当であるかのように流布し始めた．既に嘘が暴かれていたにもかかわらず．
7) 80年代，90年代，2000年代と，朝日新聞とそれに荷担する者たちはその嘘を塗り固めた．かれらは歴史を変えようと試み続けている．その嘘を糺そうとする者を彼らは逆に「歴史修正主義者」と呼ぶ．
8) 2007年，アメリカは非拘束アメリカ合衆国下院121号決議を可決する．これは，すでに嘘が暴かれていたセックス奴隷の件について日本に謝罪を求めるものだ．しかしながらこの下院決議と，あの嘘つき本を部分的に基にしている国連の報告が世界中で証拠として使われ始めたのだ．どちらも壮大な作り話にもかかわらず．
ゆえに次のことは明らかである — セックス奴隷の話を世界中に広めているとみられる歴史修正主義者が，その証拠を求める者に「歴史修正主義者」とのレッテルを貼っている．多くの本，ドキュメンタリー，映画が作られ，慰安婦像が各地に建てられている．それに反対する全ての日本人は真の歴史修正主義者に，それが朝日新聞だが，「歴史修正主義者」と呼ばれる．
9) 今週，朝日新聞に対して大規模な訴訟がなされた．48時間ほど前，原告の数は8,700人であった．今日，10,000人を超えたと伝えられている．
訴訟に参加した者は「歴史修正主義者」と呼ばれるだろう．真の歴史修正主義者は朝日新聞とそれに荷担する者であるにもかかわらず．
まとめ：
— 1945年，戦争が終わった．
— 70年代，80年代から，朝日新聞とそれに荷担する者たちが歴史を修正し始めた
— 朝日新聞とそれに荷担する者たちに対して人々は歴史の訂正を求めた．真の歴史修正主義者である朝日新聞は，彼らを逆に「歴史修正主義者」と呼ぶ．
— 2015年，今週，真理を求める者たち（歴史修正主義者と呼ばれているが）が，真の歴史修正主義者である朝日新聞を訴えた．
真の歴史修正主義者である朝日新聞とそれに荷担する者たちの上に暗い雲がかかってきた．
従業員は転職も考えた方が良いだろう．
2015年末までに朝日新聞は社の規模を縮小せざる終えなくなるかもしれないのだから．

Japan -- Report: More than 10,000 people have joined the lawsuit against the giant Asahi Shimbun newspaper
An interesting aspect: The so-called revisionists joining the lawsuit are actually the people who are trying to stick with documented history.
In a nutshell, this is what unfolded:
1) More than 70 years ago, the Japanese military ran a series of "comfort women" stations during the war. Americans have done the same during that period and before. This is well documented and not in dispute about Americans or Japanese. The comfort women were nearly all prostitutes obtained through volunteers, and in some scattered cases through deception by brokers, and in rare cases involving Japanese such as in Indonesia and Philippines, a very few truly were kidnapped or forced. Japanese troops were executed for this after the war. Again, this is not in dispute, and not disputed by real historians.
2) The war ended in 1945. There were no allegations of systematic sex-slavery. The comfort woman system was not in dispute. They were nearly all prostitutes. This was not an issue. Korea remains a brothel factory to this day, and during the decades following the war, Korea was involved in pimping out its women to American troops. (122 Korean women now are suing the S. Korean government for helping to pimp out their services to the US.)
3) In 1965, a treaty between Japan and Korea settled all wartime claims, including a payment of $800 million from Japan. Korean President Park, who settled the claim on Korea's behalf, had been an officer in the Japanese Army. (Korea was a Japanese colony long before the war. Koreans were Japanese citizens and many were Japanese soldiers.)
4) In 1973, a Japanese man published a book that there had been a sex slave issue. The book was quickly debunked and forgotten.
5) In 1978, another book was published by a Japanese communist with similar claims stemming from stories he invented from Jeju Island. The book was quickly debunked by Korean and Japanese scholars, and the author (a Japanese communist) openly admitted he had manufactured stories of committing the war crime of kidnapping 200 Korean women as sex slaves.
6) Early 1980s. Asahi Shimbun newspaper begins retelling the stories from the 1978 book as if they are true, despite that the book was debunked.
7) 80s, 90s, 2000's, Asahi and others double down on the lies. They continue attempts to revise history. They call anyone who tries to correct them "revisionists."
8) 2007, the US issues the non-binding House Resolution 121, demanding that Japan apologize for the sex-slavery, which has been debunked. But the US Resolution, along with a UN report that also is partly based on the debunked book, are used as evidence worldwide, despite that both are massive fabrications.
And so to be clear -- the revisionists who allege the widespread sex-slavery, label anyone who demands proof to be revisionists. Many books, documentaries and movies are made. Comfort women statues are deployed, and any Japanese who object are labeled revisionists, by the real revisionists, who happen to be newspapers like Asahi Shimbun.
Asahi and others are the real revisionists, who label anyone who calls them out, "revisionists," and even holocaust deniers, despite that the Holocaust had nothing to do with Japan.
8) August 2014 -- After decades of lying, the revisionists at Asahi Shimbun run out of maneuver room and admit to falsifying 18 articles. They continue to call people who demand proof, revisionists.
9) This week, a massive lawsuit is filed against Asahi. The initial wave of litigants was reported at 8,700 about 48 hours ago. Today it has been reported that more than 10,000 have joined.
The people who have joined the lawsuit are predictably the ones being called revisionists, despite that the real revisionist is Asahi and others.
Recap:
-- War ended in 1945
-- Asahi and others begin to revise history beginning in the 70s/80s.
-- People demand Asahi and others make corrections. Asahi the revisionists call them revisionists
-- 2014, Asahi admits to being revisionists
-- This week in 2015, truth seekers (called revisionists) sue the real revisionists, Asahi Shimbun.
-- Asahi and others begin to revise history beginning in the 70s/80s.
-- People demand Asahi and others make corrections. Asahi the revisionists call them revisionists
-- 2014, Asahi admits to being revisionists
-- This week in 2015, truth seekers (called revisionists) sue the real revisionists, Asahi Shimbun.
Dark clouds are forming for the true revisionists at Asahi and other places. Employees should consider revising their career plans. Asahi likely will be downsizing before the end of 2015.
