公明正大

koumeiseidai

aboveboard, impartial, fair

literally, 'public-bright-correct-large'... I smell an ancient proverb somewhere...

also interesting to note that the first two characters, 公明, are the name of the political party established by the founder of the 創価学会 (souka gakkai, literally, the values-creation study group), one of Japan's so-called new religions, the notorious war profiteer and black marketer, Daisaku Ikeda...

An irresponsible label, pieced together based using an outdated milieu. If you're going to label someone who has dedicated his life to opening up a path to peace in such a way, at the very least qualify it. That's what one does in the realm of civilized discourse. That would require you to find reputable sources that exist outside of tabloid journalism, and that don't rely on outdated references. Please, think before you post next time.
