Yearly Request to the US Government (Draft)

(beyond time and space though yet in Tokyo in 2008 for you)


Yearly Request to the US Government (Draft)

(Annuel demande à l'administration américaine)




The following is part of a draft of our yearly requests to the US Government:

1) Make the infant mortality rate equal between European American infants and non-European American infants, which is currently 6.6 and 17.0 per 1,000 infants, respectively.

2) Educate US children so as to respect the foreign countries from which their ancestors immigrated to the U.S., years ago, decades ago, or centuries ago.

3) Establish a new Department, such as the Department of the Treasury, in the Federal Government dedicated to promoting welfare of African Americans and declare the War on Enemies of African Americans (if not like the way Abraham Lincoln did in 1861).

4) Disseminate democracy in the Middle East, China, and North Korea in a peaceful manner using peaceful means.

5) Cooperate with the Mexican Government to eradicate violence and crimes in boarder areas between the two countries; for this purpose, transfer some army divisions from Iraq to Mexico subject to necessary international treaties to be concluded.


We hope that the US Government will fulfill the above requests this year on behalf of every believer of God, Allah, and Yahweh or El.

And, though I think it is very difficult for Christian Americans and Israelite Americans, I hope that they will forgive their enemies, including AlQaeda and other Arab terrorists, since Jesus Christ ordered mankind to forgive enemies and love enemies, while the US military have had to arrest and torture 98 innocent Muslims before they took on two insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan who had no intention and means to travel to the U.S. and carry out systematic and suicidal terror.

Indeed, how many Americans have a member of their family or a friend who was actually killed by AlQaeda or Arab terrorists before and after Sept. 11, 2001?

Definitely there must be more Americans whose family member or friend was killed by other American who did not believe in God.

6) Do not laugh at the Gospel, Jesus Christ, Moses, Abraham, and God with so many foreclosed houses of poor Americans and fabulous churches for rich Americans widely displayed, under the gaze of God, on the land of the New Continent the God intended to give mankind for a Religious Revolution.

(Remember the calculation: two million [poor men] multiplied by $200,000 [default], namely a total $400 billion loss which must have been used as leverage for $4000 billion investment and speculation globally.)

I will present the second version of the Draft later or discuss the last issue soon.



(Indeed, gentlemen, March has come to test you who have sovereign right each in democracy, since you are not allowed to live and die rich leaving the world full of crimes, tragedies, conspiracies, corruption, moral leprosy, Mafia-like madness, terrorist-like heinousness, and despise to everybody including the dead rich.)

"The God indeed exists, Sir"








"The God indeed exists, Sir"

("Le Dieu existe en effet, monsieur.")





I stepped into a train.

There were a western father and an infant girl sitting on the seat. As the opposite side seat was almost occupied, I sat on their side over some space.

The western infant girl, however, spoke something as if she had been in bad mood missing her mother, since she spoke Japanese to herself and her father tried to soothe her with Japanese and English.

Then I faced a strange man with a big suit bag, who didn’t look like somebody that earned money the way ordinary citizens did though he put on reasonable clothes to look like an innocent citizen.

The man looked like being impressed by a western infant girl speaking Japanese to herself and her western father who spoke ambiguous Japanese and honest English.

After having passed a few stations, there came a relatively young man well tanned who looked like having spent a night or two on the street as a temporary homeless though his hair was cut short and nice and he put on reasonable clothes to look like an innocent citizen.

He walked in front of me and took a seat between middle aged women sitting in a row facing the western partial family and me.

Now all the space on the seats of both the sides of the train car was occupied.

Then the well-tanned, temporary homeless man started speaking in a large voice, though not shouting, “I have found that the God indeed exists, sir. I have found that the God truly exists, sir. No, no! He might not exist.”

Everybody in the train car, except the western father, pretended as if having heard nothing, while the relatively young temporary homeless was speaking to somebody standing before him that was however unseen to everybody, probably.

He continued to speak, “You would become a mummy while you are on the train.” Then he giggled at his own joke, just looking at me sitting silently on the opposite row.

Then, the well-tanned, temporary homeless man spoke to the western father over somebody unseen, “I have found that the God indeed exists, sir. I have found that the God truly exists, sir. No, no! He might not exist.”

The western infant girl grumbled in Japanese.

The strange man with a big suit bag facing me over the aisle silently stood up and walked to the door while the train was running toward the center of Tokyo.

A few minutes later I also decided to leave the seat and got close to another door to get a view outside more clearly through a large window on the train door.

Then I moved to the opposite door to get other view on the opposite side of the railway. But, the strange man with a big suit bag was still standing there.

At the next station or so, he got off the train. I also looked around to see the well-tanned, temporary homeless man to find him nowhere.

Then I heard the western infant girl speaking Japanese to herself cheerfully; probably she must have spoken with her mother through a cellular phone her father had.

I was standing and watching the scenery out of the door-window of a train running into the center of Tokyo on one cold day in winter.
* * *

I got off the train, leaving other passengers, since I found that I was not going further on the day.

The train advanced to the center of Tokyo, leaving me alone on a highly raised concrete platform being blown by a cold wintry wind that made even Mt. Fuji so far looking cloudy and dimm.


(So, now you know words of an Angel can be heard, if not finding them on the subway wall in New York, in some train around Tokyo, though not so apocalyptic due to my personality.

And, you will also play a role in that sometime soon, Mlles.)



Rev 8:12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

Rev 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

Rev 9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

Rev 10:1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

Rev 10:2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,

Rev 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

On the Hill or the Rock






On the Hill or the Rock

(Sur la colline ou de la roche)



In the Japan’s Fuji TV late-night news program, last night, they presented an interview video of Ms. Condoleezza Rice by Ms. Yuko Andou, a notable Japanese newscaster.

Ms. Rice looked relaxing in Tokyo and said that she would not run for Vice President this year and wanted to go back home after spending this year in Washington D.C.

It is also said that the US Secretary of State met with the Prime Minister of Israel in Tokyo yesterday.

The TV news program also introduced the next possible Russian President, yet to be elected by voters, who invited the rock band Deep Purple to Russia by leveraging funds of Gasprom.

(When Deep Purple first sprang to life on a North Sea ferry in 1968, not even Nostradamus could have predicted that the band would be headlining a gala show in Moscow Kremlin 40 years later. Yet here we are —...)

http://www.thehighwaystar.com/

The TV news program also presented the debate between “Hillary” and “Obama” being so intensified over the Medicare issue.

Indeed, we can see the world changing.

But, do you know the song "The Fool on the Hill" Mr. Paul McCartney sang decades ago.

http://www.iamthebeatles.com/article1149.html

Indeed, "but the fool on the hill, sees the sun going down, and the eyes in his head see the world spinning round."

(Yet, who do you think Paul met with on a hill looking down on London who magically disappeared while the young good-natured singer was looking for his stray dog?)

As I saw news enough last night on TV, I do not have much to say today, but please ponder the implication of one remark on oil prices posted on the Hill Blog by the president of a prominent US think tank:

As oil approaches $100 a barrel some pundits contend the price could reach $200 a barrel and could undermine western economies, involving an historic transfer of capital to oil producing nations. While this could happen, I remain unconvinced, maintaining several logical expectations…

http://blog.thehill.com/2008/02/26/seven-reasons-why-we-can-expect-a-drop-in-oil-prices/#more-5439

For your reference, I am now checking the Japanese version of the book “Histoire du petrole” by Etienne Dalemont et Jean Carrie.

It apparently tells that the enemies of Arabs have been more the U.K., France, and Germany than the U.S.

AlQaeda really tried to take a wrong target, probably, due to Mr. Osama bin Laden’s personally held grudges, in my theory.

Now, Arabs and Russians should act definitely as an intermediary between the U.S. and Iran without relying on the US Secretary of State busy for the North Korean issue or waiting for the next US President to be elected, since in Japanese crude oil is expressed as “rock (stone) oil” and the rock might destroy anything as the Gospel tells.




(Indeed, this is my conclusion from observation of the world last night like spinning round, round, round, and around a snake on the rock before, say, a rabbit…See the news on Friday, too!)

The Blue Sun over Cuba






The Blue Sun over Cuba

(Le bleu soleil au-dessus de Cuba)



The more you study the 1963 JFK assassination conspiracy, the less you believe an easy conspiracy theory on the 9/11 Terror on New York and Washington D.C. in 2001.

“Mentions of the fate that befell President John F. Kennedy and Senator Kennedy only increased after Mr. Obama was joined on the campaign trail by Caroline Kennedy and Senator Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts.”

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/25/us/politics/25memo.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=Robert+Kennedy&st=nyt&oref=slogin


SECTION I: THE HERO

If you can fight a virtual war against the superpower United States of America for 40 years while governing one nation situated very close to the mainland of the U.S., you can claim the title of The Hero.

In this sense, Mr. Fidel Castro is The Hero of the Era after WWII.

It is well known that CIA tried to assassinate him in early 1960’s. CIA and Cuban insurgents tried the Bay of Pigs Invasion in vain in 1961.

Cuba could narrowly avoid the all-out US military invasion when the Cuban missile crisis set off in 1962.

Yet, Mr. Fidel Castro could be assassinated at any time, since CIA, the Mafia, and Cuban insurgents all dreamed of it and such an operation was not against the US Constitution and laws at all then.

However, it was then US President John F. Kennedy who was assassinated by an organization originally formed to target Mr. Fidel Castro in Havana.


SECTION II: JFK

There are some impressive things for me about the JFK assassination.

For example, some American citizens still believe that Mr. Fidel Castro ordered the assassination of JFK, which succeeded in Dallas.

It must be a result of a conspiracy to diffuse the conspiracy theory that Mr. Fidel Castro ordered the assassination of JFK.

By doing so, the true culprits could have people avert their thoughts from truth and accuse the potential victim, namely Mr. Fidel Castro, instead.

One of other impressive things is that an Israelite American was involved in the conspiracy: Jack Leon Ruby who reportedly in his childhood had worked for the notorious gangster Alphonse Gabriel Capone.

As Jack Ruby killed Lee Harvey Oswald, arrested for a groundless charge of having shot JFK, in the Dallas Police Department building two days after the assassination of JFK, everything got into a mess and eventually buried under a heap of conspiracy theories including the one that points at Mr. Fidel Castro as the key plotter.


SECTION II: CARRIED OUT CONSPIRACY

Lee Harvey Oswald once visited and lived for some time in the Soviet Union after having left the US Marines.

It is said that it is because he had been recruited by CIA while being stationed in a US military base near Tokyo, Japan, in 1957 or so.

It is also said that he was trying to travel to Cuba months before the JFK assassination.

He actually made some demonstrations on a street of New Orleans to support Mr. Fidel Castro just before the JFK assassination.

So, it is as if Lee Harvey Oswald having become a spy of the Soviet Union had shot JFK by a rifle purchased through mail-order from a window of a text-book depository building where he had been hired though he had a Russian wife in the era of the truly cold war against the Soviet Union.

(Who would use his workplace as a platform of a snipe if he wants to avoid any suspicion falling on him after shooting the US President, especially when he has a wife from an enemy country?)

But, the fact must have been Lee Harvey Oswald was a spy who was hired by CIA.

In my theory, Lee Harvey Oswald was being set up by CIA to become a false traitor of the U.S. and get hired by the Soviet Union as a spy.

On the other hand, a secret unit of the US Government had a plan to assassinate Mr. Fidel Castro using people under control of the Mafia, such as Jack Ruby.

So, some high ranking US officials were engaged in two operations: the sending Lee Harvey Oswald to the Soviet Union or Cuba as a convert to Marxism, and the plot to assassinate Mr. Fidel Castro using the Mafia and Cuban insurgents.

These two plots were combined by chance or inevitably by those who made up their minds to assassinate JFK for some reasons.

As these two conspiracies had been being carried out in a closed world or in a restricted community of the US intelligence sphere, no one could trace the movement and human relationships of Lee Harvey Oswald (under CIA) and Jack Ruby (under the Mafia).


Especially, FBI and the next US President succeeding JFK simply or strangely accepted the conspiracy: JFK was shot and killed by Lee Harvey Oswald alone who was soon shot and killed by Jack Ruby, since Lee Harvey Oswald seemed to be a spy of the Soviet Union and Jack Ruby was an admirer of the Kennedys and a friend of the Dallas Police.

Indeed, as only several men knew the truth and they all belonged to CIA or the Mafia, no one including the US Congress and the US media could know the truth.

In this way, the JFK assassination was carried out and the spate of subsequent conspiracy theories actually blinded US citizens.


SECTION III: PROMISED SAFETY 

Mr. Fidel Castro must know all the facts and truth regarding the JFK Assassination Conspiracy that made him one of candidates for the possible mastermind behind the JFK Assassination.

He must even hold some evidences to prove who were really involved in the JFK Assassination Conspiracy, though Mr. Fidel Castro himself might not be so confidently aware of it all through his long career, which nonetheless has actually prevented a party concerned in Washington D.C., New York, Miami, New Orleans, and Chicago from taking disproportionately big risks while they have been alive, too, with overt or covert power at any moment in these decades.

That must be why he can survive and keep his power to date in Cuba situated so close to the mainland US, in my theory.
* * *

There are some liberal Japanese who still admire or newly come to admire Che Guevara (Ernesto Rafael Guevara de la Serna), a deceased old friend of Mr. Fidel Castro.

I don’t feel like strongly admiring Che Guevara, since he does not look like a Native American or a Hispanic.

True revolution in Latin America should be carried out by Hispanics or Native Central/South Americans, though in a wider scope there is a dangerous example of Pol Pot, Cambodia.

A true religious revolution in the U.S. should be mainly carried out by descendants of African slaves who were emancipated after the Civil War that ended in 1865.

Truly the color of the skin has almost nothing to do with it, since you can be color-blinded for some reason, for example, if the sun should be blue in the blue sky; yet the lineage is a concrete and fixed fact as depicted in the Gospel tracing back to the Sumerian Era from the birth of the First Messiah on the earth.



(What do you think of Ms. Caroline Kennedy?

As long as she lives, I think, this Era continues.

But, if your brother, if any, was killed in an accident like John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr. after having taken off from an airport near New York in 1999, wouldn't you take some decisive action?

Especially won't you do so, if it was just after the death of Princess Diana in Paris?

Indeed, New York and Paris are not holy at all.

Doubtless, Tokyo must become holy. )

The Golden Age under the Black Sun






The Golden Age under the Black Sun

(L'âge d'or sous le soleil noir)




Some said, “The golden age was never the present age.”



SETION I: ACADEMNY AWARDS

I don’t know if you have taken it as a miracle: “No Country for Old Men” winning the Academy Award.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Country_for_Old_Men_(film)

As I wrote on Feb 10, 2008, I was moved somewhat by the movie "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada" in which Mr. Tommy Lee Jones, as in “No Country for Old Men,” played a key role in the movie story set in a border area to Mexico.

Yet, Mr. Tommy Lee Jones, nowadays well known for his humbly humorous performance in a TV commercial of canned coffee in Japan, might be a symbolic person in a prophetic sense of this Era, since he and Mr. Al Gore “shared a room at Harvard University in Massachusetts as students.”

http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/gore%20and%20jones%20performed%20music%20to%20get%20girls_1036536

The Vatican, however, issued a statement criticizing so many violent movies having been nominated for the Academy Awards.

In Japan, everybody concerned hoped that a movie depicting the life of Genghis Khan would win an Award in the category of foreign films, since a Japanese actor played a role of the Mongolian conqueror and creator of the largest and mightiest empire in history.

However, Hitler seems to be still a concern of Americans, as an Austrian film, “The Counterfeiters,” took the Award in the category. Indeed, if a French woman dances in the end of a story, it might be highly appreciated in a US state whose Governor was born in a German speaking state in Europe.


SECTION II: MORELIA, MEXICO

The New York Times reported on a state of a Mexican state on December 18, 2007:

MORELIA, Mexico — Mexico’s country music stars are being killed at an alarming rate — 13 in the past year and a half, three already in December — in a trend that has gone hand in hand with the surge in violence between drug gangs here.

None of the cases have been solved. All have borne the signs of Mexican underworld executions, sending a chill through the ranks of other grupero musicians, who sing to a country beat about love, violence and drugs in modern Mexico….

“Sometimes there is a direct relationship between the musician and the narcotics trafficker,” said Miguel Olmos, a musicologist at the College of the Northern Border in Tijuana. “But also there are a lot of passionate crimes. That is to say, the musician establishes some sort of sentimental relationship with people who are linked to this culture of violence and of narcotics trafficking, and somehow it gets out of hand. They always touch some nerve of the trafficker.”

---
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/18/world/americas/18mexico.html?_r=1&pagewanted=print&oref=slogin

Mr. Tommy Lee Jones and Mr. Al Gore should turn their attentions and passions to make a film on their poor neighbors singing truly sad songs, if conceived as lively music, without a hope of winning any awards at all.


SECTION III: A RESEARCHER ON HITLER

A retired Japanese worker of a bank read 3,000 books about Hitler while he was working as an ordinary employee.

Based on his personal research, he published a book on Hitler in 2001.

He again published a book on Hitler this year, analyzing what Hitler truly was based on the best related 220 books.

( http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%92%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%83%BC%E3%81%A8%E3%81%AF%E4%BD%95%E8%80%85%E3%81%A0%E3%81%A3%E3%81%9F%E3%81%AE%E3%81%8B-%E2%80%95%E5%8E%B3%E9%81%B8220%E5%86%8A%E3%81%8B%E3%82%89%E8%AA%AD%E3%81%BF%E8%A7%A3%E3%81%8F-%E5%AD%A6%E7%A0%94M%E6%96%87%E5%BA%AB-%E3%81%82-16-1/dp/4059012114)

However, he is neither a kind of nerdy admirer of Adolf Hitler nor a member of an extreme right wing party, since his works are all at an academic level supported by a pure intellectual curiosity.

The conclusion the Japanese author Mr. Yoshio Abe wrote in his book is that one of the reasons why there still remains even today a shadow of the past admiration of Hitler is probably what he achieved, no matter how horribly sinful and unforgivable, was on the extension of secular religion and theology in Germany of the Era.

I can say that Germany produced Adolf Hitler and the U.K. offered Charlie Chaplin, both having lived on their paradigms of secularism a difference between which however made an extreme difference.

Yet, if we had had the Messiah, the both would not have found a chance of success.

Conversely, as mankind had not the Messiah in those days, its history had to unfortunately allow Adolf Hitler and Charlie Chaplin to take their chances to test their predetermined fates even if so having been pre-determined in the worst case scenario of history as a pair, though not like the one of Mr. Gore and Mr. Jones.

We have to still reject Hitler while appreciating Chaplin, since we have not yet the Messiah.
* * *

In Japan we have a proverb: “Fact is stranger than fiction.”

The biggest dramas in this decade are of course a conspiracy leading to the death of Princess Diana, a state of the US Government negligently (or partly by intent) having missed a chance to stop the 9/11 Terror, and the US Presidential Primary Elections in 2000 and 2008 in addition to the global influence of the Subprime Loan Problem.

The history probably does not like to include other incidents, such as the US-Iran war or the nuclear warfare in the Korean Peninsula even after the 2008 Olympic Games in China.

As the Prime Minister of Israel and US State Secretary Ms. Condoleezza Rice are now visiting or will soon visit Japan, I hope they will learn something here such as, say, “The Counterfeiters.”



(The God is watching your life.

Your life is a kind of a movie story for Him.

You are a heroine in a play at least the God Almighty is watching.

That is why I am telling you to forget about everything you have ever learnt in this world and just go out and find the Messiah.

Then, your life will be titled “The Messiah.”

Accordingly, I will be satisfied more than seeing you on a movie screen or a TV screen in the still of the night…)

A Miracle, Miracle; That’s a Miracle!


(common scenery around Tokyo in winter)




A Miracle, Miracle; That’s a Miracle!

(C'est un miracle, en fait un miracle.)




SECTION I: Derision

Some viewers might have been laughing at EEE Reporter when they read the report on February 22, "So, the Philippines seemed to be another source of a holy miracle," since no spectacular incident has happened in the Philippines since then.

But, it happened in terms of the first two paragraphs of the report:
“Several days ago, a Japanese TV station reported on a Philippine island and one of villages therein where most of residents are making handguns by their hands manually to earn their humble bread and butter.

It also introduced a suspicion that a Japanese entrepreneur was shot and killed in the island by local killers hired by another Japanese.”


Just after I posted it on the EEE Reporter blog on the last Friday, the police in Saipan, a US territory island in the Pacific, reportedly arrested a Japanese man following a request from the Los Angeles police.


SECTION II: News

The arrested Japanese is now facing a charge of having hired a killer to have him shoot at his wife on a by-place plot in Los Angeles 27 years ago, in order to gain insurance money which the suspect actually later got in the amount of 1.4 million dollars.

http://news.aol.com/story/_a/japanese-man-held-in-wifes-80s-death/n20080223175309990007?cid=842

http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/02/23/japan.businessman.ap/index.html?eref=rss_topstories

But, you may wonder why this news of a single Japanese suspect has such a news value.


SECTION III: Truth Behind the Scene

It is true that this case has been virtually regarded as one of the early examples of modern murder-for-insurance cases in Japan being observed somehow so often in media reports since then, though the suspect was not found guilty in Japan after a long judicial proceeding.

The amount 1.4 million dollars or 150 million yen was not small at all then.

It was also the era when the US general public came to be aware of the Japanese economic power overwhelming even another superpower the Soviet Union.

But, the truth is that the suspected Japanese has a very famous aunt, a former actress and influential woman in the Japanese entertainment business.

She was a great heroine as an actress and singer; even today some fans commemorate her performance in 1930’s:


(http://blog.livedoor.jp/chidori527/archives/50913270.html )

(http://blog.goo.ne.jp/yamakyou_2005/e/8e95520376abd0f505608fef813b0c8e )

As there are many fans of old songs or golden oldies in Japan, especially even among relatively young politicians, this only can be a big factor.

But, most interestingly, she reportedly helped with ardor junior actors and singers, such as the late younger brother of the incumbent Governor of Tokyo, grow as very successful entertainers in the Japanese show business after WWII.

(http://mnews.news2ch.net/read.php/1085434247/ )

I don’t know how much intimate some Japanese politicians, such as Tokyo Governor Mr. Shintaro Ishihara, are with former actress Ms. Mizunoe one of whose nephews is now going to be indicted in Los Angeles, though the Japanese Supreme Court in 2003 acquitted him finally of the very charge of the murder-for-insurance case that happened 27 years ago in the U.S.

Yet, you have to take into consideration on this extensive media reporting on the suspect the following fact: the suspect is not an ordinary citizen since he has a very prominent aunt who, though now very old, might be still very popular among old but influential Japanese politicians and other types of celebrities.

(On the other hand, there is a speculation that the suspect’s Internet site might be associated with this raking over the old criminal ashes, since he has been acting like a harsh critic against the present law and order system in Japan.

[ http://www.0823.org/shu1_diary/shu1_diary/ ])


SECTION IV: Over Crimes, Sins and Tragedies

Last night, former Defense Minister of Japan, Ms. Yuriko Koike, joined a TV news-show program that took the arrest of the suspect in Saipan as one of its major features, humbly saying, "I was just an assistant of a TV newscaster at that time…"

Indeed, Ms. Koike drastically changed her career to become a lawmaker in various parties. From a young female TV reporter to a wandering politician traversing the Japanese political arena, she has become a Cabinet Minister a few times though she faced harsh criticism last year when conflicted with the then undersecretary of the Defense Ministry who was however arrested by the Tokyo Public Prosecutor on a charge of bribery late last year as if a miracle had happened to save Ms. Koike’s face.

Indeed, 27 years ago, the World Trade Center Towers in New York had already existed for several years.

Today, they have gone for several years.

Truly three decades correspond to one generation.

And, as Jesus Christ said that a tragedy falling on a person was not due to a sin his parents or ancestors had committed but for the glory of God to appear, we must probably assume that glory of God is gradually emerging over crimes, sins and tragedies that have occurred in these decades.

Personally, I felt only remote respect to the completion of building of the WTC Towers in New York in the wake of the Vietnam War and felt only remote sympathy to the Japanese suspect whose wife was fatally shot in Los Angeles, both almost some 30 years ago when I observed and heard them.

However, I felt no sense of discomfort when I observed and heard that Ms. Koike started to venture into the political arena some 15 years ago.

Now, on which did you feel more a sense of discomfort when you first heard a news report, Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s running or Mr. Barack Obama’s running for US Presidential Primary Election?



(Indeed, 27 years ago, Ms. Koike was as young as some Japanese female newscaster of today. As she has been long in singlehood, she seems to be somewhat carrying an atmosphere of those days.

Truly, 27 years ago, Mrs. Clinton must have been as young as some US actress of today. As she has not divorced, she seems to be somewhat carrying a liberating atmosphere of the post-Vietnam War era.

Doubtless, three decades later, good girls and Mlles., you might look back at the present age retrospectively rediscovering miracles here and there around the EEE Reports, since you are now as young as those ladies 27 years ago.)
