Midnight Number-One Reporting
(Reportage de Nombre-Un de minuit)
Last night, a Japan's Fuji TV news program moderator was proud, saying that their video film presentation on the shooting at a Japanese journalist to death in Myanmar was spotlighted worldwide and accordingly referred to so much globally.
Indeed, it is a miracle that we got a video evidence on a scene where a journalist is being shot in the middle of citizens' demonstration on a street by one of suppressing soldiers.
The midnight news program, characteristically popular though so late (http://blog.so-net.ne.jp/hana-suzume/2006-10-31news-chupan), also presented a controversial visit of the Iranian President to New York.
To my astonishment, some elite Americans insulted the Iranian President in a certain university, and the US public refused to accept his courtesy visit to the ex-World Trade Center site.

Myanmar soldiers who killed a Japanese journalist lack respect to Japan, which may be however individually condoned as those soldiers are so poor while their generals must be rich through connection with China.
American elites, such as Secretary of Treasury in the Clinton Administration, having insulted Japan lack respect to Japanese, which cannot be easily overlooked as those elites are so rich due to Japan's huge finacial cooperation with the U.S.
My warning is that some Iranians with a personal grudge against some US elites might follow suit of Mr. Osama bin Laden, which ordinary US citizens cannot even dream of.

There is a Japanese book, though paperbacked, that introduces 50 great scientists in the human history, say, from Democritus to Mr. James Watson.

Among them, ten Japanese scientists were introduced, most of whom however American elites, including Secretary of Treasury in the Clinton Administration, must not know, which is one of dangerous sources of their lacking respect to Japanese.
As Japan is situated so far away from Europe, Europeans have traditionally neglected Japanese world-first discovery or achievement in the scientific field so often, while claiming their second discovery as the first.
One such example is the world-first discovery of "vitamin" by Umetaro Suzuki.
I will present the ten Japanese scientific heroes enumerated in the above mentioned book as follows:
1. Shibasaburo Kitasato
(29 January 1853-13 June 1931) was a Japanese physician and bacteriologist. He is remembered as the co-discoverer of the infectious agent of bubonic plague in Hong Kong in 1894, almost simultaneously with Alexandre Yersin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitasato_Shibasaburo
2. Jokichi Takamine
In 1894 Takamine emigrated to the United States. He established his own research laboratory in New York City, but licensed the commercial production of Takadiastase. In 1901 he isolated and purified the hormone adrenaline (the first effective broncodilator for asthma) from animal glands, becoming the first to accomplish this for a glandular hormone.

3. Aikitu TANAKADATE
1856 -1952
Founder of modern Japanese science, particularly in the areas of physics, geophysics, and aeronautics. Proponent of Japanese-style roman lettering. http://www.civic.ninohe.iwate.jp/100s/indexe.htm
4. Hantaro NAGAOKA
1865 -1950
A physicist known particularly as proponent of an atomic model with a central nucleus. The father of Japanese theoretical and experimental physics. http://www.civic.ninohe.iwate.jp/100s/indexe.htm
5. Kotaro Honda
(born on February 23, 1870 in Okazaki, Aichi Prefecture - February 12, 1954) was a Japanese scientist and inventor. He invented KS steel (initials from Kichiei Sumitomo), which is a type of magnetic resistant steel that is three times more resistant than tungsten steel. He later improved upon the steel, creating NKS steel.

6. Kiyoshi Shiga
(7 February 1871–25 January 1951) was a Japanese physician and bacteriologist.
He became famous for the discovery of shigella, the bacillus causing dysentery in 1897. The bacterium shigella was therefore named after him, as well as the shiga toxin, which is produced by the bacteria.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiyoshi_Shiga
7. Umetaro Suzuki
(April 7, 1874 – September 20, 1943) was a Japanese scientist, born in Shizuoka Prefecture.
When researching the effects of rice bran in curing patients of beriberi, he discovered an active fraction in 1910 and received patent rights to aberic acid, which in 1935 after the correct composition became known as thiamin. His research was among the earliest of modern vitamin research.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umetaro_Suzuki
8. Yoshio Nishina
(December 6, 1890–January 10, 1951) was a Japanese physicist. He was a friend of Niels Bohr, and a close associate of Albert Einstein. Nishina was a world-class scientist with excellent leadership qualities. He co-authored the well-known Klein-Nishina Formula, and the Nishina crater on the moon is named in his honor.
His research was concerned with cosmic rays and particle accelerator development.

9. Shinichiro Tomonaga
(March 31, 1906 – July 8, 1979) was a Japanese physicist, influential in the development of quantum electrodynamics, work for which he was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965 along with Richard Feynman and Julian Schwinger. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomonaga
10. Hideki Yukawa
(January 23, 1907 – September 8, 1981) was a Japanese theoretical physicist and the first Japanese to win the Nobel prize.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yukawa

If ordinary Americans learn contribution of those Japanese heroes in science to human welfare, they will not follow suit of some American and British elites who are even responsible, with AlQaeda and China, to present tragedies in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Myanmar.
Yet, honestly this is also to prevent traitors among Japanese ourselves.
(Jedoch ehrlich ist dieses auch, Traitors unter Japaner selbst zu verhindern.)
(Yes, 10 of 50 great scientists in the human history are Japanese, according to a certain measure.
You are awfully lucky if you are born Japanese. You are even very lucky if you have a Japanese relative or a Japanese friend, since it will make you less arrogant and more courteous than US elites.
One big bonus is that you will come not to mind Israelites' superiority any more, since those US elites are often Israelite Americans.)
"...And if someone asks why you are doing that, tell him that Master needs it and will soon return it back...."
