A Bone so Loved Waits for a Dog Trotting About


(From a high-speed train running north of Tokyo)




A Bone so Loved Waits for a Dog Trotting About

(Un chien peut trouver un os par la miséricorde de Dieu.)



Now, the US NPR broadcast is reporting interviews conducted in China in the wake of the Great Earthquake over the Internet.

We are extremely and gravely sorry for more than 50,000 people, including Han people, Tibetan Buddhists, and other local respectable tribes, so innocently fallen in the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake, China.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Sichuan_earthquake

Five million people lost houses. More than two million tents and temporary housings are yet to be provided.

And, in a certain town of the devastated area, a thousand or so local peopled clashed with the police over poor distribution of foods and emergency supplies.

We hope that Chinese agencies will safely recover more than ten containers of radioactive materials still being buried under rubbles at unidentified spots near collapsed nuclear development facilities, as soon as possible, since the Russian President now visits Beijing.

Now let me check around on some useful information-presenting sites on the Internet, since some might be waiting.


(Aid and emergency supplies from Japan have arrived at an earthquake-hit disater site in China: http://www.news.janjan.jp/world/0805/0805230751/1.php )


PART I: EEE REPORTER on Friday, July 27, 2007

Strangely, in order to find an article among past EEE Reports including a specific word, I have to first type in the keyword, such as “Nomura,” into a keyword field at the upper left corner of the EEE-Reporter blog's front page.

Then I have to push [CTRL] + [F] keys together to invoke a pop-up window for search to again type in the same keyword, such as “Nomura.”

Then I can get the article I wrote on July 27, 2007.

-------
2. Handwriting on the Wall
Nomura Holdings, Inc. has reported on its after-tax profit during the second quarter of 2007 as 76.7 billion yen (640 million dollars).
(http://www.nomuraholdings.com/policy/privacy_hd.html)

However, it lost 72.6 billion yen (600 million dollars) due to adverse effect of US housing loan slumps, during the first half of 2007.

Nomura purchased claimable assets on US housing loans and integrated them into financial commodities to sell to corporate investors. Specifically, Nomura started to deal with US sub-prime loans in August 2005.

No other major Japanese financial companies are reportedly involved in transactions leveraging the US housing loan credit obligations.

Now, the dollar is getting weaker; the NYSE index is expected to go down but not further up; Chinese export might be suppressed through adjustment of monetary rates and due to product contamination; and the gasoline price has never shown any signs of going down.

Nomura's loss, though covered by its profit, may be handwriting on the wall for those involved in Wall Street. It is time we are going to enter another cycle of the world economy, since even Russia has recently paid off due to the energy boom.

Maybe you had better have another way of investment.
But who guides you? So, choose a right one.

-------

As you know, now everybody knows that it was a big mistake that the Japanese media and the Japanese Government last July announced that “no other major Japanese financial companies are reportedly involved in transactions leveraging the US housing loan credit obligations.”

Many Japanese financial institutes were in fact dealing with financial products in which US subprime loan securities were embedded.

According to a recent media article, the total loss linked with the US subprime loan problem Japanese financial institutes have incurred has reached almost one trillion yen ($10 billion).

It is August 2007 that parties concerned came to realize the sheer scale of a possible loss related to the emerging subprime loan crisis.

But, in July 2007, no Japanese financial institutes, government agencies, and media companies could grasp the real state of this huge financial crime, while merely announcing that only “Nomura Holdings, Inc. lost 72.6 billion yen (600 million dollars) due to adverse effect of US housing loan slumps, during the first half of 2007.”

I don't know if they are making sincere efforts to get over this lack of ability to estimate the on-going situation, though you may be doing it diligently eliminating wasting time.

Anyway, we have to trot around other informative sites on the Internet.



PART II: http://www.realtytrac.com/ContentManagement/pressrelease.aspx?ChannelID=9&ItemID=4586&accnt=64847

The above titled site is introduced in a Japanese site which also presents a chart everyone will appreciate, since it shows the scale of financial devastation around US houses:
http://www.financial-j.net/blog/2008/05/000551.html#more

(Click for a larger view.)

This Japanese site on economy reported that the number of houses foreclosed on was between 70,000 and 120,000 per month from 2005 to the first half of 2006.

But, it jumped up to 200,000 houses per month in August 2007.

Specifically, "230,000 houses foreclosed on per month" are translated into "one of 500 houses" to be confiscated.

The worst situation is found in Nevada with one per 146 houses to receive a foreclosure filing.

The second worst, California with one per 204; the third worst Arizona with one in 224; and the fourth worst Florida with one per 242.

(Mrs. Clinton, if elected as the next President or not, should be engaged more in these states to help poor Americans, in my humble view...)



PART III: http://mysite.verizon.net/vzeqrguz/housingbubble/

(Click for a larger view.)

According to the titled site,
------
The above chart estimates the market value of today's median-priced house over a 20-year period.

The red line represents real house prices. For those unfamiliar with economic-speak, "real" prices are prices that have been adjusted for inflation. The blue line represents nominal house prices.

Notice that in the 13-year period from 1987 until 1999, real house prices stayed roughly within the range of $125,000 to $150,000. Only since the year 2000 have real house prices risen above the top of this range.

The United States median price was at approximately $206,200 as of the fourth quarter of 2007. This is 38% higher than the previous housing boom peak of an inflation-adjusted $149,300 in 1989.


------

It is as if the American Dream had a price tag of $206,200.

Your American Dream must not have such a price tag attached.

Your American Dream must be spiritual.

Its price tag should be only read in Heaven by Angels.

Now, forget about a house, since five million people recently lost houses in China and also hundreds of thousands in Myanmar.


**************************************************************************

Yesterday or a day before, I got into a Seven-11 shop in my town north of Tokyo.

They had a tiny plastic transparent box set up as a collection box for fund-raising to help Chinese victims hit by the Great Earthquake.

In it, there were a few 1,000 yen bills (US$10) in addition to many coins.

I asked a part-time sales assistant who had put the bills into the box placed before a cash register.

She said, “A gentleman, minutes ago.”

As I knew she was an honest young woman, I said, “Might have been drunken,” making a donation of some humble coins into the box as my second or third time contribution in Seven-11 shops in these days.

In convenient shops in Japan, they should also set up a collection box for fund-raising to help Myanmar victims hit by the recent Great Cyclone.

They should do so, since many Japanese gentlemen seem to be trotting around convenient shops, though unlike a dog for a bone.



(I saw many girls who suddenly started to laugh or act like whores as they thought they discovered that the king of the society was the Devil.

That is why I often go and buy things at convenient shops.

Have a happy Sunday and sometimes work in a convenient shop, since Tokyo and the Pacific coast lines can be hit at any time or in the second and the third quarters of the year nowadays by, say, the Angel in charge of the terrible power of the nature!)





1Ch 5:24 And these were the heads of the house of their fathers, even Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valour, famous men, and heads of the house of their fathers.

1Ch 5:25 And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went a whoring after the gods of the people of the land, whom God destroyed before them.

1Ch 5:26 And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this day.

SPY NOVELS (OR MONEY TALKS)







SPY NOVELS (OR MONEY TALKS)

(romans d'espionnage)




I sometimes read novels until the Soviet Union collapsed and the Persian Gulf War erupted around 1990.



SECTION 1: Ian Fleming

--------
In March 1960, Fleming met John F. Kennedy through Marion Oates Leiter who was a mutual friend and invited both to dinner. Leiter had introduced Kennedy to Fleming's books during his recovery from an operation in 1955. After dinner Fleming related his ideas on discrediting Fidel Castro; these were reported to Central Intelligence Agency chief Allen Welsh Dulles, who gave the ideas serious consideration.[14]

Fifty-six-year-old Ian Fleming died of a heart attack on the morning of August 12, 1964, in Canterbury, Kent, England, and was later buried in the churchyard of Sevenhampton village, near Swindon. Upon their own deaths, Fleming's widow, Ann Geraldine Mary Fleming (1913–1981), and son Caspar Robert Fleming (1952–1975), were buried next to him. Caspar committed suicide with a drug overdose.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Fleming
--------

The James Bond series did not give me any inspiration, but actor Mr. Sean Connery was impressive somehow since some girls looked like liking that type.


SECTION 2: Frederick Forsyth

The title “The ODESSA File” sounded so meaningful that I once read it.

------
The ODESSA File

…While Miller is recovering in hospital, he is told what happened while he was unconscious. Josef, his contact, warns him not to tell anyone the story. He does disclose that with Roschmann (code-named "Vulkan") in Argentina, West German authorities (at the urging of the Israelis) will close the radio factory where a rocket guidance system is being secretly developed for the Egyptian army. ODESSA's plan to oblierate the State of Israel by combining their technological know-how with Egyptian biological weapons has been thwarted…


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Odessa_File
------

But “The Day of the Jackal” is special, since it is said to be somehow associated with a real terrorist:
-----
Ilich Ramírez Sánchez (born October 12, 1949) is a Venezuelan-born self-proclaimed leftist revolutionary. After several bungled bombings, Ramírez Sánchez achieved notoriety for a 1975 raid on the OPEC headquarters in Vienna, resulting in the deaths of three people. For many years he was among the most wanted international fugitives. He is now serving a life sentence in Clairvaux Prison in northeast France.

He was given the nom de guerre Carlos when he became a member of the leftist Popular Front for Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). Carlos was given the "Jackal" moniker by the press (The Guardian) when the Frederick Forsyth novel The Day of the Jackal was reportedly found among his belongings. Although the book actually belonged to someone else, the nickname stuck.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_the_Jackal
-----


SECTION 3: John le Carré

------
Le Carré's career as a secret agent was destroyed by Kim Philby, a British double agent, who blew the cover of dozens of British agents to the KGB, David Cornwell being among them. Years later, le Carré carefully depicted and analysed Philby's weakness and deceit in the guise of "Gerald", the mole hunted by George Smiley in the central novel of le Carré's work, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_le_Carr%C3%A9
------

Anyway, I felt his novels were truly a kind of literature and got impressed by some titles, such as “The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1963).”

****************************************************************************

That is all for today.

It is so, since the story of Princess Diana surpasses the talent of Shakespeare (baptised 26 April 1564 – 23 April 1616) and Chaucer (c. 1343 – October 25, 1400?).

Or possibly conversely, as Shakespeare and Chaucer had failed ultimately, Princess Diana died in Paris in 1997.



(It is getting hot around Tokyo, today.

What will it be when August comes around?

I mean what miracles we will see, of course, between us, or on the Internet, folks, friends, yeah, brothers and sisters of soul...Be spy-cool than money-hot...)




John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

Oil vs. Japan, Communists, and Pirates


(The Tone River, North of Tokyo)



Oil vs. Japan, Communists, and Pirates

(Japon, des communistes, des pirates et tout autour de pétrole brut)




A domestic oil crisis torpedoed the Soviet Union in 1980’s, while Japan successfully developed the energy efficiency technology despite its suffering the global oil crisis twice.

In this context, China, after the recent tragedy of the great earthquake, will respect Japan more.

But, who could brilliantly and bravely fight against pirates pursuing a way to make a big money in the confused oil market as well as the frenzy money market globally?

What’s your saying?



SECTION I: JAPAN AS NUMBER ONE



(Click for a larger view.)

The above figure shows the primary energy consumption (oil equivalent) per GDP (US$1,000) for each major player and region being forced to participate in a questionable program at the CO2 theater.

(The ratio means how much energy is consumed when producing goods or services worth US 1,000 dollars.)

It is crystal-clear that Japan leads the world in terms of energy saving technology overwhelmingly.

No CO2 emission reduction request should be imposed on Japan, since Japan has already fulfilled its duty as one of the most industrialized countries in the world.

Japan should be exempted from such a protocol; but the headquarters of the Environmental United Nations must be newly founded in Tokyo.

Indeed, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan created a very nice report, though in Japanese.

Refer to http://www.nedo.go.jp/kokusai/kouhou/esco/1_1_2.pdf

The basis of Japan’s world-beating energy-efficient technology was formed in 1980’s after having suffered the global energy crisis in 1970’s.

Even in this respect, 1980’s are so crucial in understanding today’s world and the future in terms of global warming, energy saving, and the sinfully-high oil-price problem.



SECTION II: CHINA UNDER GREAT WARNING

According to certain official energy statistics from the US Government, a recent trend of petroleum (as one type of primary energy) consumption in the world is as follows:

(Click for a larger view.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_oil

Indeed, China seems to be a big factor that can contribute to the recent oil-price surge.

But, referring to Elcano Royal Institute for International and Strategic Affairs
Madrid, we can see the historical change in China’s energy consumption:

(Click for a larger view.)

http://www.ucm.es/info/eid/pb/BusteloWPoil05eng.pdf

You can think about China’s economic growth and an inevitable increase in energy consumption in various ways with these data.

Indeed, China has been, since 2001, shifting into high gear in using a great amount of energy not only in industries, but also in daily lives of its emerging middle class and rich class.

If China, togetaher with the sinfully lavish U.S., declares that it will slow down the pace of consuming crude oil, the global oil price might be settled somehow.

But, in the context of today’s EEE Report, we have to just take note of the very stable economic growth of China in 1980’s, while the Soviet Union was going to collapse and the wars between Iran and Iraq and in Afghanistan were raging.



SECTION III: THE SOVIET UNION (RUSSIA)

1980’s was truly the era for the Soviet Union.

Its rise and fall can be comparable to that of the Roman Empire in a sense.

There are three major causes for its demise:
1) Japan’s overwhelming success in technology and economy in 1980’s.

2) US covert victory in the military sphere such as the modernization of weapons, the proxy war in Afghanistan, and the space development competition.

3) Soviet’s failure in managing, producing, and developing its oil resources.

The last factor is well discussed by an expert as below:

-----------------------------
Articles by Dr. Reynolds

Soviet Economic Decline:
Did an Oil Crisis Cause the Transition in the Soviet Union?


If Marxist-Leninist Communism was so inefficient, then why did it last in one form or another for over 70 years in Russia and the Soviet Union before it finally died. Did it last so long because inherently it provides a good economic system or did it last so long because inherently it was not as inefficient as we are made to believe, but that some other circumstances caused its demise? We believe the latter. The Soviet system was not spectacularly inefficient and was an adequate, though far below average, system for running an economy. As long as there were plenty of resources, the Soviet economy could continue running. However, rather like a gas-guzzling car, the planned economies became spectacularly inefficient in the face of resource scarcity, particularly oil scarcity. A planned economy is not flexible enough to reallocate quickly scarce resources that suddenly decline in production…

In 1973 and 1980 when the West went through huge economic problems due to oil price shocks, the Soviet Union did not appear to have nearly as large of problems. The West went through an incredible oil crisis, which was discussed and analyzed to incredible lengths, yet the Soviet Union continued relatively unfazed. This was because the Soviets had plenty of oil at that time to fulfill their own needs and even enough surplus to export…However, by 1989 that had changed. Finally the Soviet Union faced the same economic crisis that the West had already endured in order to allocate its oil more efficiently.

In 1989, official Soviet oil consumption was higher than the former Soviet Union's entire oil production of 1993 (BP 1996). Also in 1989, the Soviet Union officially exported 30% of its oil, and much of that export was to the Eastern European satellites. Together the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe consumed roughly 20% more oil in 1988 than they produced in 1993. The only way that the Soviet Union could have possibly survived such an oil production decline crisis, not to mention a complete loss of oil export revenue for hard currency, as well as cut its internal consumption, and cut off Eastern European exports, would be to shift to a market economy. The Soviet Union did exactly that...Indeed, Soviet and post Soviet oil consumption declined a staggering 50% from 1985 to 1995. However, the transition was not by choice but by brute economic force…

In the 1970's and 1980's the Soviet Union was trying to get Eastern Europe to cut its reliance on oil especially from the Soviet Union so that it could export more oil for foreign hard currency (CIA, 1985). Before 1989, the Soviets provided as much oil as Eastern Europe needed using a bartering system (FBIS, 1989). In reality the oil was given away at well below world prices (Balabanov and Deitz 1991). The Soviet Union was practically giving away its oil to Eastern Europe, Cuba and North Korea in order to hold up their economies and Soviet influence. As oil production waned, those exports declined and the subsidy was cut causing those economies to fall one by one alongside the Soviet economy...Eventually the Soviet and Eastern European economies were forced to cut oil consumption in order for the Soviet Union to be able to export oil for needed revenue to pay interest on foreign debts and buy essential Western technology…

Eventually in 1991, all prices were allowed to go to market levels, but it takes time for an economy to adjust. So the economy fell into a deeper and deeper recession. Note too that even though prices were free, oil prices were kept low and the economy was not allowed to allocate the oil to its most productive uses, i.e. to its highest bidder. This meant that oil was sold on world markets, creating shortages at home. Inefficient factories and producers were allowed to continue to receive wages even though they produced nothing that the economy demanded. It was this lack of flexibility in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union that helped their economies spiral downward. However, the initiating event was an oil crisis. Even in 1997, after ten years of Parastroika and seven years of free market prices, many factories and business were still being supported artificially by the state. Many firms were still receiving low-priced oil. Former Soviet oil companies have been required to sell fuel at prices below world market prices...

During the transition period then, not only were Soviet industries having a hard time coping with higher oil prices, but also the economy as a whole had less oil to export. Low oil exports contributed to a balance of payment and international debt problem that Russia still faces today. The internal oil price shock, bankrupted Soviet industry. All of these crushing economic problems were brought about mainly by a shortage of oil. Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union really had only one course of action: free the markets. However it was impossible to free their markets without also opening up their political systems too-since the state owned everything.

CONCLUSION
…Most likely within the conflicting statistics, the period of the break of the Soviet Union was an oil crisis period. We know that the West went through two severe oil crises, which the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe never felt.
It was only a matter of time for them finally to have their own oil crisis. They simply insulated themselves from it for awhile. The fact remains that former Soviet oil production by 1992 was 20% less than Soviet and Eastern Europe oil consumption in 1988. Furthermore, incredibly, oil production in the Soviet Union declined before consumption, which makes a cause and effect scenario of an economic crisis causing an oil production decline impossible. The more likely cause and effect scenario is an oil crisis caused by scarcity leading to an economic down turn and eventual consumption reduction. This means that these economies were forced into an oil crisis. They had to reduce oil use. However, with vastly higher oil prices, actual former Soviet and Eastern European oil consumption declined by about 50% from 1988 to 1995.

When the West cut its oil consumption in 1974 and 1981, there were two major recessions. However, neither of those recessions and energy efficiency periods saw a 50% reduction in oil usage in the West. Considering the West's experience, there would be no way for the planned economies of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union not to have had even bigger recessions during the period 1988 to 1995-when they saw an even bigger reduction of their oil supply-than the west had in the 1970's and 1980's. Logically, this means an oil crisis pushed these planned economies towards a more efficient system, namely free markets and democracy.


http://www.oilcrisis.com/reynolds/SovietDecline.htm
----------------------------

Now ironically, the hidden violent power of crude oil seems to be targeting all the nations except Russia.

Today, some fraction of $3 trillion being circulated on global financial-communications networks must be directed to the oil market.

If such an irresponsible flow of funds should trigger a catastrophe in the global economy, future researchers will probably recall it writing a history in the following way:

"It is unbelievable that only handful of investment companies with some hundreds of employees in charge destroyed the global economy just by manipulating their computers linked globally in office in Houston, New York and London in the early 21st century (, which however resulted in various revolutions in the key nations such as the U.S., the U.K., China, India, and the Vatican...)."

Have you found any useful lessons in the case of the Soviet Union in 1980’s?

************************************************************************

Indeed, you need to master two paradigms as you surely know: the Central Government Finance and the Industrial Development Policy.

Accordingly, you have to face two enemies: Irresponsible Local Beneficiaries and Global Financial Pirates.

Truly, without faith and love, you will be engulfed in all-out pillage and plunder being launched domestically and globally on whatever public money each government is entrusted to.

We have to avoid and conquer the possible famine of energy resources and the emerging CO2-triggered turmoil in the near future.

So, listen to Japan since it is NO.1 in terms of the energy-saving technology.

Remember that China has to suffer the great earthquake, with more than 50,000 deaths, and the crude oil reserves worldwide might be depleted in 40 years, 50 years, 60 years, or at the end of this century.



(If you have no active memory on the era of the Vietnam War, you had better be more humble.

If you have no active memory on the era of the oil crisis in 1970’s, you had better be more humble.

If you have no active memory on the era of the Persian Gulf War around 1991, you had better be more humble.

If you had not been in Washington D.C. or New York on Sept. 11, 2001, you had better be more humble.

That is why I suppose Mr. John McCain can be dominant over Mr. Barack Obama this fall.

What’s your saying? Any face-saving answer?

As for me, if Mr. McCain is an officer commanding his troops in Vietnam, I am just a high-school student watching news of the war on TV.)

THE JAPANESE CLASS & OTHER CLASSES








THE JAPANESE CLASS & OTHER CLASSES

(Les cours entre l'humanité)




Around 1980, I attended a Christian meeting held in a building at Ginza, Tokyo.

They discussed aid for a South East Asian country.

It is one of very rare occasions I can recall now with any respect for wisdom and manners of the so-called Christians, priests, and nuns.

When I left the meeting room and started down the stairs in the building, I spotted an old ex-lawmaker walking down ahead of me.

I just mused over what if I got directly involved in national politics, but decided to hold back, since I felt no revelation while going down the stair cases after an ex-Diet member.



SECTION I: ANTI-CHRISTIAN MARX

No politician imitates Mr. George W. Bush's accent in Washington D.C.

But, Mr. Barack Obama, unlike JFK, apparently seems to adopt somebody’s accent.

And, most of executives of the Japanese Communist Party imitate the accent of its principal Mr. Tetsuzo Fuwa.

http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20030215a2.html

The current chairman of Japanese Communist Party (JCP) really imitates Mr. Fuwa’s accent.

The most of executives of the Japanese Communist Party have never experienced labor; they seldom have experiences of being engaged in a low-key job for nickels and dimes.

For them Marxism is a kind of subject for academic research. They believe that graduates from elite universities are suitable for leaders of laborers with poor education background.

So, they are making mistakes doubly, since Karl Marx did not believe graduates from elite universities could accomplish the revolution he dreamed of.

Karl Marx expected ordinary citizens like Adolf Hitler before having seized a big and dire chance to carry out the revolution.

It is because an ambitious but unlucky guy like Adolf Hitler has neither higher education record nor academic qualification in the Christian society and the Christian academic community.

It is truly because the aim for Karl Marx having launched Marxism is to attack and destroy the Christian society.

It is logically because those who hate higher education in the Christian society can really hate the whole Christian society.

Karl Marx wanted to attack and destroy the Christian society by using those who hated the society due to their slim chance in success in the society as they had no higher academic background.

Yet, as the communist revolution is also a civil war, it requires talented or well educated people, namely elites, since winning a war needs intelligence.

That is why Karl Marx never extended his theory to the state after the completion of the communist revolution where the elite class within communists would surely try hard to hold on power to have a richer life than ordinary workers, though they must be purged after the revolution or the civil war in principle since capitalism is based on existence of well educated people or an elite class in a society.

He wrote a difficult book for ordinary workers which was however intended to appeal to well educated people, like executives of Russian, Chinese, and Japanese communist parties, and make them satisfy their pride by becoming leaders of ordinary workers, though such well educated people most probably could not win a competition in a capitalist society and thus would fail in advancing their careers in a capitalist society.

A chairman and executives of the communist party would continue to have a richer life than ordinary workers as a matter of course, leveraging and resorting to whatever reasons and theories.

But, Karl Marx would not mind it, so long as the Christian society that did not love him would have been gone forever.

The target of Karl Marx was not rich men but Christians. He was a genius in that he built his version of communism in order to fight against European Christians without relying on Judaism.

But, European Civilization produced many geniuses.



SECTION II: ANTI-MARXIST HITLER

Hitler simply wanted to be rich like everyone who experienced WWI.

His paintings did not sell.

He became a kind of homeless, envying middle-class citizens, such as a medical doctor, a lawyer, an executive of a bank, an owner of a enlivened shop, and a politician.

However, he knew that he shared the same mentality and paradigm with conventional rich men, which made him an enemy of socialism part of Marxism.

Yet, he had to learn socialism to appeal to poor citizens. Marxism could be a good text for this purpose.

But, Hitler was a genius in that he discovered hatred of Karl Marx more toward the Christian society than against capitalists and other elites.

Karl Marx had been a teacher and rival for Hitler to get support from workers; but now Karl Marx became an enemy of Hitler, since Hitler was a kind of austere man with a humble pride of a Christian.

In this way, Adolf Hitler got twofold reasons to deny the existence of Judaists or descendants of ancient Israelites.

In short, Hitler discovered that Karl Marx had intended to destroy the Christian world thorough leveraging the theory of communism since Karl Marx was a Judaist who hated rich Christians who must have made him feel so unhappy.

Karl Marx had tried to turn poor Christians against rich Christians to fatally harm the Christian community.

Adolf Hitler assumed that he could be a savior for Christian Germans in this context; and poor Christian Germans never missed this implication in Hitler’s words.

But, poor Christian Germans were not geniuses to gain an insight into more profound implication therein.

And then, as you know, the holocaust began, which was however later terminated by military interference by American Christians.

(By way of caution, Adolf Hitler completely hid his intention from the Empire of Japan, though Nazis Germany got in alliance with the then only world-class military nation in Asia.)



SECTION III: ISRAEL, THE VATICAN, THE U.S., AND MUSLIMS

There is one thing in common between Israel, the Vatican, and the U.S.: accountability to the Christian society.

The people of Israel must be happy to see Christians respecting one of their ancestors. The Vatican is happy to be the highest leader of the Christian world. The U.S. is so proud of being the number one recipient of benefits of the Christian civilization.

And, moreover, they have no reasons to be regarded as an enemy by Muslims in principle.

Muslims also know that their religion was not endowed them with for them to conquer Israel, the Vatican, and the U.S. (which AlQaeda will understand eventually).

Therefore in principle there is no danger leading to Armageddon in the world and the era where Israel, the Vatican, the U.S., and Muslims flourish.

Logically we live in a very stable era, since after the demise of the Soviet Union and a drastic change in policies of China, all due to Japan’s contribution, the world has never been faced with possible catastrophe such as all-out nuclear warfare.

Every crisis has been, so far, in a sense technically capable of solution.



SECTION IV: SUPER-RICH AND JAPAN

Mankind can be largely divided into two groups: Japanese and Non-Japanese.

It must be a conclusion of your long-time research on history, cultures, religions, and science.

For example, only Japanese can communicate with a god of human action in daily life.

Japanese have traditionally tried to find existence of a higher spirit beyond a realm and a sphere of living things.

Indeed the God created everything tangible and intangible.

Only Japanese can see divinity in the air not only in the nature but also around their behaviors or in their action and acts.

That is why some holy monks, some hundreds years ago, told poor people to simply pray to Amida Buddha and repeat the name of Buddha, even if they could not understand the difficult terms and concepts written in Buddhist scriptures.

No other races or tribes except Japanese could accept such a teaching and observe it from the bottom of their heart and soul.

And, champions of the opponents to Japanese in this context are super-rich people in the world today regardless of their nominal religions or nationalities, since all they can sense, see, observe, and follow is Mammon and human emotions aroused by big money.

By the way, what do you think about Superclass?


------
Until recent decades, great-power governments provided most of the superclass, accompanied by a few heads of international movements (i.e., the pope) and entrepreneurs (Rothschilds, Rockefellers).

Today, economic clout—fueled by the explosive expansion of international trade, travel and communication—rules. The nation state's power has diminished, according to Rothkopf, shrinking politicians to minority power broker status.

Leaders in international business, finance and the defense industry not only dominate the superclass, they move freely into high positions in their nations' governments and back to private life largely beyond the notice of elected legislatures (including the U.S. Congress), which remain abysmally ignorant of affairs beyond their borders.

I suppose probably you must have had and still, all the more, have a chance to be mingled with them, since you could follow this article of EEE Reporter till here as you have just done.

A Japanese notable ex-cabinet minister also got impressed by information contained in the book.

(http://www.kumagai.ne.jp/column/entry.php?entry_pkey=869 )

Marx and Hitler belong to the Ultra-Super-Class in history, bad or worse.

I believe that there can be the Ever-Ultra-Super-Class, good or better, in this era, since Jesus Christ, the only Infinite-Class of mankind, told us to watch birds in the sky and flowers in a grassy field and accordingly be humble enough to be put above the Super-Class and the Ultra-Super-Class by the God.

That is why I went to the site of demolished Exposition the other day by train, taxi, and bus, though some 15 years before I had been there driving my car only to check the remained air of the era, namely 1980's.



(If I don’t look like a Christian at all to you, it does not mean you are not smart.

Nobody ever could see a Christian in me.

And, I have never thought I am in a class with those so-called Japanese Christians.

But, I don’t mind if you talk like a friend with any of them, since they cannot become members of the Superclass, say, unlike you.

Finally, the so-called Japanese Christian priests and nuns as well as communists of today are better than Marx and Hitler, aren’t they, even in the U.S.?)

Miracles in 1985

(Les miracles en 1985)




Last night in my dream, I saw a girl in black though she had extremely refined features.

But, don’t you know that a woman traditionally in Japan wears a bride's hood at a wedding to hide her horns more meaningfully than a Christian or a Muslim woman?



SECTION I: FOUR SURVIVED OUT OF 524

------
The Boeing 747-SR46 that made this route, registered JA8119, crashed into the ridge of Mount Takamagahara in Gunma Prefecture, 100 kilometres from Tokyo, on Monday August 12, 1985…

All 15 crew members and 505 out of 509 passengers died, resulting in a total of 520 deaths. It remains the deadliest single-aircraft disaster in history and the second-deadliest aviation accident in history after the Tenerife disaster (not counting ground victims).


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Airlines_Flight_123
------

Four surviving female passengers were an off-duty JAL flight attendant, age 25, who was jammed between a number of seats, a 34-year-old woman and her 8-year-old daughter, who were trapped in an intact section of the fuselage, and a 12-year-old girl who was found wedged between branches in a tree.



SECTION II: IBM JAPAN EMPLOYEES FALLEN

I felt a miracle in this great accident, since hundreds of businessmen in the higher echelons were on board the airplane as the jet plane was flying from Tokyo to Osaka, two major business centers of corporate Japan.

For example, some front-line employees of IBM Japan were among victims. In my memory, they belonged to the then emerging personal computer-related business. And, in my memory, too, IBM Japan then used a code name “Acorn” to a type of its PCs, though it was before full-scale commercialization of the Windows OS.

Though the accident did not seem to deter IBM Japan’s business deployment in small-sized computers, it must have caused some commotions in the company, probably, just like Matsushita (Panasonic) lost in the accident some key employees in its computer-related department.

( http://www.bsmanner.net/blog/2007/06/post-228.html )

It is as if the God had told me that I could be saved, too, in such an occasion for some sacred purpose, since I had already started to regard my job as an occasion for ascetic training to understand God rather than a chance to get big money.



SECTION III: A GIRL FROM THE GREAT SHRINE TOWN SAVED

Since that surviving 12-year old girl lived in a local town in western Japan where the most prestigious Shinto shrine in Japan is situated, I felt a kind of revelation.

------
Izumo Taisha is one of the most ancient and important of the Shinto shrines in Japan. Its name means "The Grand Shrine of Izumo." No record gives the date of establishment. Located in Taisha, Shimane Prefecture, it is home to two major festivals. It is dedicated to the god Ōkuninushi-no-mikoto, famous as the shinto deity of marriage.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izumo_Taisha
------

Take a look at the survivors again: an off-duty JAL flight attendant, age 25, a 34-year-old woman and her 8-year-old daughter, and a 12-year-old girl.

The God must have just wanted to spare the life of the 12-year-old girl.

However, not to put a too much psychological burden on the girl as the only survivor, the God saved a young mother and a young girl, whose survival would be consolation to some and lessen cruelty of the horrible accident that took lives of 500 in a single airplane crash.

The God also allowed one professional witness, an off-duty JAL flight attendant, to survive and serve the general public with her reporting.

It is as if the God had told me that I could be saved, too, in such an occasion for some sacred purpose, since I love the great shrine with a history and a tradition as old and authentic as any Imperial Shrines in Japan.



SECTION IV: COMPUTER WAR IN 1985

In 1985, there were no cellular phones to your surprise. Personal computers were already commercialized but the version of Windows OS was just 1.0.

For example, in 1980, China had only 2,000 or so computers all over the nation while one brand of Japanese office-computers had already sold in 20,000 units.

( http://www.geocities.jp/thrayan2004/koukoku/kou1980.html )

In those years, IBM was overwhelmingly dominant in the world computer market (where mostly large-sized mainframe computers were sold). Some American and European companies challenged IBM in earnest and in vain. No such competitors today remain in the global computer market.

But, Japanese makers are different.

With a smart policy of the Japanese Government, Japan became the only major industrialized country in 1980’s where IBM could not be the number one computer suppliers.

In fact, those Japanese competitors, such as Fujitsu, Hitachi, NEC, and Toshiba, are domestically still major players in this sector of the industry.

But, it is said that if Japanese makers adopted more effective strategies in competition with IBM in 1980’s, they could have even dominated today’s PC industry in the world.

Yet, the real state of the Computer War between Japan and the U.S. was not so widely known.

So, it is interesting to see that some Japanese experts talked about the truth of the Japan-US Computer War on the Internet last year under the title “Truth of Fujitsu-IBM War Revealed after 25 Years.”

( http://itpro.nikkeibp.co.jp/article/COLUMN/20071128/288168/?P=2&ST=ep_infrastructure)

In short, when Fujitsu launched the IBM-compatible computers in 1960’s, its sales amount was one sixteenth of IBM’s. But today, its ratio is one to two, proving its long-time braving fight against IBM.

Yet, while Japanese makers adhered to the IBM-compatible mainframe strategy and suffered the grave US attacks on development of unique Japanese OS for PCs, the U.S. industry consolidated its ground for the Era of the Internet and the High-Tech financial transactions toward the 21th century.

In summary, before the Money War between Japan and the U.S. in late 1990’s and even today, the Computer War was so fatally fought between the two countries, significance of which is yet to be fully comprehended by people concerned, in my humble view.

********************************************************************

The year 1985 was so symbolic, as it decided the trend or the path to the real advent of the Internet Era in 1995.

Today’s US dominance in the financial sector is mainly supported by its success in pulling through those decades while leveraging its advantage on IT technology at both the system level and the basic-science level, though being inevitably forced to avoid competition in some fields, such as PC manufacturing and IC memory business, mainly due to Japan’s unflinching challenge in 1980’s.

Indeed a jumbo jet crashed in 1985 in Japan with so many businessmen on board, foretelling the coming difficult wars against the U.S. in terms of technology and economy.

But, some symbolic people were rescued alive.

That is why I am telling you that poor Americans should welcome Japan’s success in technology and business, while some ignorant economists are shouting, “Money, money, big money in China (no more Japan)!” in Davos with full of participants from the Bilderberg Group.

It is because Japan can only make humble those major US companies, including IBM when having sold its PC division to China’s Levono, who are so cool to poor Americans.

Let’s Go, Let’s; Go Science!






Let’s Go, Let’s; Go Science!

(La science est utile.)



Last night in my dream, I saw a young woman, nominated as a manager of a software development section, making a hard effort to improve performance with difficult staff, though she dressed in black and the office did not look like part of a government agency.

It is maybe because I made a humble trip to 1980’s yesterday.



SECTION I: 1985 International Exposition at Tsukuba

I got up from a grassy knoll and stood at a humble bus stop, however with my interest aroused, picking up an acorn, though not a small bullet at all, and tossing it back onto the framed ground holding a tree in the middle of a concrete pavement.

Here finally came a humble but modern bus, five minutes behind time.

I left the small stainless steel gate, suspending a face of Isaac Newton composed of many steel beads, at the bus stop.

The bus driver, older than middle aged, said that his bus never came earlier than scheduled, since he sensed my complaining look when getting on the bus.

The only other passenger, a jolly-looking local old woman apparently having enjoyed conversations with the driver, asked me whether I was going back to Tokyo or such a direction.

I said that I could not find any trace of 1985’s International Exposition in the park. “Even transportation is so inconvenient as if prohibiting access today. From what railroad station did they operate the bus service to the Expo site in 1985?”

The old woman sitting near the driver’s seat said as if consulting the driver, “It was Arakawa-Oki Station, wasn’t it?” I was surprised and dared to say, “Is it that station where a young madman killed and injured several people with his knives in the daytime recently?”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arakawaoki_Station

The very-modestly dressed old woman said, “If policemen on the emergency lookout (for the mad fugitive who had already killed an old man several days before) at the station had been in uniform, passengers should have been more alarmed and there would have been less victims.”

I said, “Oh, I could not even catch a glimpse of Mt. Tsukuba from the Expo Park unbelievably now full of trees.”

She, herself a very low-key old woman, turning her head to the right as if taking me lightly, said, “You can see it now over there.”

I pulled out a camera from a pocket, took pictures from the opposite seat over a window, and put the camera back in the pocket, while the bus was approaching a railroad station recently opened on a new line connecting Tokyo and Tsukuba City.

It took 1,000 yen from the station to the Expo Park by taxi and cost 200 yen back by bus.

Then I came back home by train crossing over the Japan’s No.1 Tone River to my humble highland city in the middle of the drainage area of the holy Arakawa-River.

SECTION II: SCIENTIFIC TRUTH OF WTC COLLAPSE

---------
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Federal Building and Fire Safety Investigation of the World Trade Center Disaster

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions - Supplement (December 14, 2007)

1. Was there enough gravitational energy present in the World Trade Center Towers to cause the collapse of the intact floors below the impact floors? Why was the collapse of WTC 1 and 2 not arrested by the intact structure below the floors where columns first began to buckle?

Yes, there was more than enough gravitational load to cause the collapse of the floors below the level of collapse initiation in both WTC Towers. The vertical capacity of the connections supporting an intact floor below the level of collapse was adequate to carry the load of 11 additional floors if the load was applied gradually and 6 additional floors if the load was applied suddenly (as was the case). Since the number of floors above the approximate floor of collapse initiation exceeded six in each WTC Tower (12 and 29 floors, respectively), the floors below the level of collapse initiation were unable to resist the suddenly applied gravitational load from the upper floors of the buildings.

Details of this finding are provided below:
…The individual connection capacities ranged from 94,000 lb to 395,000 lb, with a total vertical load capacity for the connections on a typical floor of 29,000,000 lb (See Section 5.2.4 of NIST NCSTAR 1-6C). The total floor area outside the core was approximately 31,000 ft2, and the average load on a floor under service conditions on September 11, 2001 was 80 lb/ft2. Thus, the total vertical load on a floor outside the core can be estimated by multiplying the floor area (31,000 ft2) by the gravitational load (80 lb/ft2), which yields 2,500,000 lb... By dividing the total vertical connection capacity (29,000,000 lb) of a floor by the total vertical load applied to the connections (2,500,000 lb), the number of floors that can be supported by an intact floor is calculated to be a total of 12 floors or 11 additional floors.

This simplified and conservative analysis indicates that the floor connections could have carried only a maximum of about 11 additional floors if the load from these floors were applied statically. Even this number is (conservatively) high, since the load from above the collapsing floor is being applied suddenly. Since the dynamic amplification factor for a suddenly applied load is 2, an intact floor below the level of collapse initiation could not have supported more than six floors. Since the number of floors above the level where the collapse initiated, exceeded 6 for both towers (12 for WTC 1 and 29 for WTC 2), neither tower could have arrested the progression of collapse once collapse initiated. In reality, the highest intact floor was about three (WTC 2) to six (WTC 1) floors below the level of collapse initiation. Thus, more than the 12 to 29 floors reported above actually loaded the intact floor suddenly.

SECTION III: CONSIDERATION ON CONSPIRACY THEORY

The Top September 11 Conspiracy Theories are as follows, according to State Department’s Bureau of International Information Programs (IIP):

-------
1) The World Trade Center (WTC) twin towers were destroyed by controlled demolitions.

…Demolition firms had very sensitive seismographs operating at other sites in Manhattan on September 11. None recorded any explosions during the tower collapses…

For more information, see ImplosionWorld’s article on the WTC collapses and Popular Mechanics, parts 4 and 5.

2) No plane hit the Pentagon on September 11. Instead, it was a missile fired by elements “from inside the American state apparatus.”

…Numerous photographs show airplane debris at the crash site, as was also witnessed by survivors and rescue personnel. See sections 4:57 to 6:00 of the “911 Case Study: Pentagon Flight 77” video for pictures of airliner debris.
For more information, see “Did a Plane Hit the Pentagon?” and Popular Mechanics, part 6.

3) The planes that hit the World Trade Center towers were remotely controlled.

4) United Airlines flight 93, which crashed in Pennsylvania, was shot down by a missile.

5) World Trade Center building 7 was destroyed by a controlled demolition.

6) Insider trading in the stocks of United Airlines and American Airlines just before September 11 is evidence of advance knowledge of the plot.

7) Four thousand Jews failed to show up for work at the World Trade Center on September 11.

8) Al Qaida is not responsible for the September 11 attacks.

In an audiotape released on May 23, 2006, bin Laden stated, “I was responsible for entrusting the 19 brothers … with those raids ….”

In a November 2001 tape, bin Laden said, “We calculated in advance the number of casualties … who would be killed …. I was the most optimistic of them all. … Due to my experience in this field, I was thinking that the fire from the gas in the plane would melt the iron structure of the building and collapse the area where the plane hit and all the floors above it only.”

For more information, see “Al Qaeda and September 11th.”

-------

My theory on the 9/11 Conspiracy Theory is that it has been concocted by the Bilderbergers so as to make them look smarter than they really are.

The Bush Administration, of course, could not commit terrorism on US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania killing and injuring thousands of people in August 1998, on USS Cole killing 17 crewmembers at a port of Yemen in 2000, on Bali Island killing 202 people in Indonesia in 2002, on the Madrid trains killing 191 people in Spain in 2004, on the London subway lines killing 52 people in the U.K. in 2005, and on Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan in 2007.

My theory on the 9/11 Conspiracy Theory is that it has been concocted by the Bilderberg Group so as to make their ties with Islamic super-rich people out of sight, since those believing the Conspiracy Theory never discuss the relationships between the Bushes, though one of the most respectable American clans just like the Kennedies, and the bin Ladens.

Also, agents of the Chinese Communist Party like the Conspiracy Theory, since it will allow them to recruit possible collaborators for their cause while keeping good relationships with the Bush Administration.

*********************************************************************

In 1985, I was studying software codes for some scientific calculations.

(In my career in the computer-related field, I have seldom seen software engineers who could understand such software technology, though some of them were too proud simply working in a foreign company providing financial services [i.e., they are mostly the second class programmers, like the former president of Livedoor now controlled by Goldman Sachs, who could not understand the first-rate talent of a kind often found in major Japanese makers such as Hitachi and Fujitsu...].)

So, I am telling you that those working in companies managed or controlled by members of the Bilderbarg Group are not so smart at all like the Bilderbargers themselves.

Listen to first-rate scientists in Japan and the U.S., if you want to know the scientific truth of WTC collapse on Sept. 11, 2001.

But, what were you doing in 1985, while an EXPO was being held at Tsukuba, Japan, for the theme of “Dwellings and Surroundings - Science and Technology for Man at Home?”
