Katsumi Asaba and writer Shigesato Itoi, who later made the Earthbound and Mother games. This was in the early 80’s and directed at Japan’s Prime Minister. Still applies. Always applies, in too many countries.

    まず、総理から前線へ。

    I’m still learning japanese, but I think it translates to something like: “First, to the warzone, prime minister.”

    I don’t remember having seen から used like that before, but I can’t think of anything else that would make sense.

    Edit: fixed transcription.

      I did see another translation, I think in a Wikipedia or something, closer to what you wrote. Very interesting and thank you for sharing.
