"What New Doctrine"

(The Tokyo Bay)


"What New Doctrine"


But, Darling, I am not such a man as would buy only a case for a jewel.



SECTION I: Administrative Best-Practice Model

I urge all the governments in the world to install a new agency or department called “Holy See” in Latin or “Holy Seat” in English.

Its function, status, and authority must be independent from judicature, administration, and legislation.

No matter what religion prevails in a country, each country must have this fourth power, so established, in its national structure.

Management and operation of the Holy See in each country should be financially supported by people’s donation, apart from national taxation.

The Holy See Department should strictly apply common religious justice to any matters citizens would file to the Department, since the Department can apply or interpret laws and regulations, decisions and judgments, and practices or measures issued by other three branches of a government and further enforce superior authority and mandates over them.

Even in Islamic nations, they can introduce and separate their “Islamic See” from judicature, administration, and legislation of government.

Especially, I recommend Japan and the U.S. to set up the Holy See Department, since their peoples produce and consume materials and products in a very non-religious manner in these decades. For example, their Holy See Departments can issue an official warning that the present stock price level is religiously sinful. Pious people should respond properly.

I also hope that the Vatican would show the first example, moving to Israel and taking the authority to be the Holy See Department of Israel.

Staff and officials of the Holy See Department must be chosen from those who do not belong to any religious bodies by drawing lots. The head of the Department must be also chosen from citizens without any religious titles by drawing lots.


SECTION II: Japanese Obamas

Japanese politicians look still very busy nowadays, though Prime Minister Mr. Taro Aso seems to like to take an early morning stroll around the Diet Building with full of guards.

Mrs. Sakie Yokota
Mrs. Yokota’s daughter, Ms. Megumi Yokota, was abducted by North Korean secret agents from a town near a coast of the Sea of Japan on November 15, 1977.

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

But, it was in 1997 or so that the truth was known to Mr. and Mrs. Yokota as a secretary of a National Diet member of the Japanese Communist Party revealed it to the public on his own initiative, though the Japanese Communist Party had nothing to do with all these matters.

As a mother attempting the desperate rescue of her daughter, she visited the White House to meet President Mr. George W. Bush in April 2006, which was realized mostly through efforts by Former Prime Minister Mr. Shinzo Abe, then Chief Cabinet Secretary of Japan, since the U.S. is the only ally for Japan in terms of national security.

Yet, North Korea and some Japanese political groups claim that the tragedy of the Yokotas is minor compared with atrocities Korean people had suffered during and before WWII due to the occupation of the Korean Peninsula by the Empire of Japan.

( http://nishimura-voice.seesaa.net/article/18387353.html )

Nonetheless, it is commonsense that many poor North Korean people today are suffering bitterness of life worse than that under the Empire of Japan before WWII.


Mr. Makoto Yuasa
Mr. Yuasa graduated from the Faculty of Law, the University of Tokyo, and studied in its doctor course.

However, he quit pursuing the celebrated course for membership of the Japanese elite, since he started to help poor people living a poor life for himself.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/10/AR2006031002288_pf.html

Becoming the leader of a nonprofit organization fighting against poverty, Mr. Yuasa even challenged notable economist Mr. Heizo Takenaka by writing a paper on the issue of poverty in the Japanese society.

( http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B9%AF%E6%B5%85%E8%AA%A0 )

It was on his initiative that many volunteers and some public agents worked together in the middle of Tokyo to help hundreds of temporary homeless who had been just fired by companies at the year end of 2008, so that they could get temporary shelters and public assistance.

http://www.asiaone.com/News/Latest+News/Asia/Story/A1Story20081231-111628.html

So, a young elite who avoided becoming a professor of the Faculty of Law, the University of Tokyo, has become a hero of discarded workers of Japan.

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

It is so, since a true jewel cannot be in any box or rental brand bag.


(A drop of tears must look like a jewel.

It is so, since a 13-years old girl who was abducted by foreign espionage agents for a stupid plan to make her a collaborator in the future must have surely cried in a dark cell of a spy ship heading secretly to North Korea over the Sea of Japan so cold in a night of the late autumn.

Mar 1:24 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

Mar 1:25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.

Mar 1:26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.

Mar 1:27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.

"Speechless"



Ah, what a week, darling!

= The Yearly Request to the United States of America (Draft) =

Here we request the U.S. Government to well observe the following demands and wishes.

1. Give at least one seat in the Senate to a representative of Native Americans.   

2. Give a voting right in the Presidential Election to each of the Japanese people who stays or resides in the United States on the day of the Election unconditionally.

3. Send to Afghanistan a staff of 30,000 medical and health experts, social workers, agricultural and engineering experts, and other specialists needed for improvement of the society and people’s lives there in lieu of 30,000 more soldiers.

4. Give back the sovereignty over Guam, Saipan, and other Pacific-Ocean islands that had been governed by the Empire of Japan before the Second World War to Japan unless objections are filed by native residents there.

I once wrote that treasure of the Indian Ocean lies in the mind of Indians.

If you have no jewel in your heart, you cannot truly have your diamond glitter on any part of your appearance.

Yet, the azure and the blue waves of the Mediterranean are true jewels for Europe.

Even on the shore of Palestine or Gaza, we may find some bijoux, since they have actually celebrated the inauguration of President Mr. Barack Obama with 1,000 blood streams shed to the Sea like 2050 years or 1950 years ago.

Luk 1:21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.

Luk 1:22 And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.

Luk 1:23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.

Luk 1:24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,

"As One That Had Authority"


(Shin-Jyuku, Tokyo)


"As One That Had Authority"


I don't think that the authority of Ever-Holy Jesus Christ is supported by any money he has, if any.

Accordingly, the final purpose of the money-decorated Devil cannot be to enjoy a rich life for himself.


SECTION I: Election Money I

It is not Christian at all to buy votes with money.

----------------------------------
General Campaign Expense Summary

According to required campaign filings as reported by the Federal Election Commission (FEC), a total of 148 candidates for all parties had raised a collective total of $1,644,712,232 and spent $1,601,104,696 for the primary and general campaigns combined through November 24, 2008. The amounts raised and spent by the major candidates, according to the same source, were as follows:

Candidate (Party) / Amount Raised / Amount Spent / Votes = Average Spent per Vote

Barack Obama (D) / $532,946,511 / $513,557,218 / 69,447,084 = $7.39 per vote

John McCain (R) / $379,006,485 / $346,666,422 / 59,925,610 = $5.78

...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._presidential_election,_2008
----------------------------------

Otherwise it is not a shame at all that a candidate loses an election due to a lack of money.



SECTION II: Election Money II

It is not Christian at all to collect money claiming that it is all for improving the human society.

----------------------------------
Obama Accepting Untraceable Donations
Contributions Reviewed After Deposits

By Matthew Mosk
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, October 29, 2008; A02


The Obama team's disclosures came in response to questions from The Washington Post about the case of Mary T. Biskup, a retired insurance manager from Manchester, Mo., who turned up on Obama's FEC reports as having donated $174,800 to the campaign. Contributors are limited to giving $2,300 for the general election.

Biskup, who had scores of Obama contributions attributed to her, said in an interview that she never donated to the candidate. "That's an error," she said. Moreover, she added, her credit card was never billed for the donations, meaning someone appropriated her name and made the contributions with another card.

When asked whether the campaign takes steps to verify whether a donor's name matches the name on the credit card used to make a payment, Obama's campaign replied in an e-mail: "Name-matching is not a standard check conducted or made available in the credit card processing industry. We believe Visa and MasterCard do not even have the ability to do this.

"Instead, the campaign does a rigorous comprehensive analysis of online contributions on the back end of the transaction to determine whether a contribution is legitimate…"

----------------------------------

What cannot be solved by money must be the true agenda for the U.S. President.



SECTION III: Internet-Leveraged Money

The Internet has been a major player behind the scene of the 2008 Presidential Election.

-------------------------------------
Obama's Internet Money Machine and the Future

Posted June 11, 2008 | 04:31 PM (EST)


Among Obama supporters, like myself, this has been celebrated as an Internet-driven turning of the tables on the kind of money politics that has dominated America for so long. 1.5 million people have given Obama money, and nearly half of them have made donations of $200 or less. (All these small donors -- who the campaign is in regular contact with via email -- can legally give much more, which is one reason why it might not be that far-fetched to extrapolate his current fundraising curve for 5 more months.)


Some perspective: in 2004, GW Bush raised $367 million, a historic record. Obama will raise more than that before the convention.

Or look at it this way: just under half of Obama's contributions have been in amounts of $200 or less. For demonstration purposes, let's say that the average small donation was $100. If you do the math, that works out to small donors giving Obama $70 million, leaving big donors responsible for $200 million. With luck someone with better data than I have will respond to this blog with more detailed numbers. Whatever the actual numbers are, it will work out that the huge majority of Obama's money has come donations over, not under, $200.

Yes, this is a wonderful thing that the Internet has democratized political financing in an unprecedented way. What is even better, the fact that the progressive guy figured out the new money regime first may catapult him from freshman senator to the White House, opening one of the most exciting chapters in American political history…


http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bob-ostertag/obamas-internet-money-mac_b_106587.html
-------------------------------------

The Internet may have become a major player behind the scene of the Obama Administration, inevitably.

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

That is all for today.

When people are united with some common positive philosophy toward money, they can even send one of their fellows to the White House.

But, can there be any couple, group, or party united with any common negative philosophy toward money so as to protest against the White House successfully?

I mean I mostly trust forever-poor comrades.



(Beside, a psychologically fatal lack of love you have ever experienced cannot be compensated at all by any amount of money. So, trust EEE-Reporter, poorer than President Mr. Barack Obama.

"One Crying in the Wilderness"





"One Crying in the Wilderness"


I successfully watched live the 2009 Inauguration Day's broadcasting from Washington D.C.

People prevailed from the Capitol all over the 2km-long Mall and even around the Lincoln Memorial without conceding a bit little of space for children, if any, to race round in make-shift blocks only consisting of reportedly 2 million quarter-frozen audiences, which actually bewildered Mrs. Barbara Bush or only her since she has the toughest spirit among those there.

The most impressive person was the mother of Mrs. Michelle Obama who walked down to the balcony like a queen supervising her granddaughters from behind.

Of course, Mrs. Hillary Clinton never looked abashed at all, which was very unique but also American.

Then, I turned off the TV after 2:40 a.m., Japan Time, somehow being satisfied, since we were in and around Tokyo where neither icy currents nor storms are prevailing now.



SECTION I: Mr. Osama bin Laden's Tape on Jan. 14, 2009

It is very interesting that I myself missed his tape, since I have not seen CNN these months for some contractual restriction with a cable TV company.

--------------------------------------------
January 14, 2009
Bin Laden message: Stop 'aggression' against Gaza



CNN could not independently confirm the authenticity of the message, but the speaker's voice was similar to other recordings that bin Laden has made.

While not naming President-elect Barack Obama, bin Laden refers to the future of the United States in the face of the current global economic crisis.

The last time bin Laden released an audio message was in mid-May, timed to coincide with Israel's 60th anniversary. That message urged his followers to liberate Palestine.

President Bush, whose term ends next week, told CNN's Larry King on Tuesday that he remains optimistic that bin Laden would be found.

Asked by King, "Are we ever going to find bin Laden?" Bush replied: "Yes, of course, absolutely. We've got a lot of people out there looking for him, a lot of assets. You can't run forever."


http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/meast/01/14/binladen.message/
--------------------------------------------

Technically, I don’t think that Mr. Osama bin Laden has been confirmed as alive.

He is also a big asset for Islamic insurgents. He must continue to be alive. Voices can be engineered and presented as genuine if simply simulating Mr. bin Laden’s.

And, those tapes having been issued without an impact enough to startle the world any more cannot be a proof of anything about his religious, political, and military capability, in my view.

Mr. Osama bin Laden looked like a man of the past all through the process of the 2008 Presidential Election.



SECTION II: The 2008 Presidential Election Reviewed

Let’s review the Voter demographics based on exit polls taken on November 4:

(Click to enlarge.)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._presidential_election,_2008

It is a less-than-8% spread of voters that decided the case.
(Click to enlarge.)

In summary, independent, moderate, "white," and more traditional religious people decided the case for the 2008 Presidential Election.

But, are they rich or poor?
(Click to enlarge.)

It is now apparent that those whose family income is $30,000 or less are overwhelmingly supporting Mr. Barack Obama.

Those whose family income is $50,000 or less are clearly supporting Mr. Barack Obama.

The truth is that poor "whites," accounting for just 4% of all the voters, decided the case for the 2008 Presidential Election.

But, who made them poor?



SECTION III: FRB

Former Federal Reserve Chairman Mr. Alan Greenspan virtually admitted the limit of capacity of FRB for regulating the trillion-dollar business.

------------------------------------------
April 8, 2008, 5:29 pm
Recession Is Here, Greenspan Says


"I have said to many questions of this nature that I have no regrets on any of the Federal Reserve policies that we initiated back then because I think they were very professionally done…"

He told CNBC that the Fed couldn’t have averted the housing crisis and subsequent seizing up of credit markets. He blamed the crisis on "egregious lending practices" in the subprime mortgage market. Real problems began to emerge when subprime mortgages were securitized and sold to investors seeking higher and higher yields with little regard for risk, he added. Greenspan also said the housing bubble would’ve occurred even without exotic loans such as adjustable-rate mortgages.

The non-financial sector of the U.S. economy remains in "extraordinarily good shape," Greenspan said, although he acknowledged that corporate revenues are shrinking as demand comes under pressure from the ongoing credit crisis.

As for the financial sector, "it’s fairly obvious that for the first time in my memory, we have both the banking system and the securities markets in trouble."

Markets are now demanding ever-increasing amounts of capital from all financial institutions — banks, hedge funds and investment banks, Greenspan said. “I think when we come out of this, the markets will demand a much higher ratio of economic capital and lower leverage,” he added. Regulatory requirements on capital will also likely see significant revision, he also said. – Charlene Lee

http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2008/04/08/recession-is-here-greenspan-says/?mod=WSJBlog
------------------------------------------

It is apparent what America needed and still needs is a better Chairman of FRB.

Or, those poor "whites" who have elected the new U.S. President absolutely need an FRB-version of President Mr. Barack Obama.

In conclusion, the political base of President Mr. Barack Obama is not so overpowering as with the influence of those poor "whites" on FRB.

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

One impressive figure there in front of the balcony of the Capitol was former State Secretary Mr. Colin Powell being seated among honorable guests.

Though a Japanese TV station did not show his expression, Mr. Powell might have been the very one who should have been on the very platform with President Mr. George W. Bush and Vice President Mr. Dick Cheney as the 44th President of the United States of America.

"The Mystery of The Seven Stars"




"The Mystery of The Seven Stars"



It is as though as they had pelted President Mr. George W. Bush with two shoes, they had to eventually suffer an onslaught made by Israeli troops on Gaza.  

If you fully respect the God or Allah, a jet plane will safely land on the Hudson, as a proof of a peace-loving wish of EEE Reporter.


SECTION I: "HUSSEIN"

Saddam Hussein himself must have been a major factor for America’s War on Iraq launched in the early spring of 2003.

---------------------
The United States, which had urged Iraqis to rise up against Saddam, did nothing to assist the rebellions. The Iranians, who had earlier called for the overthrow of Saddam, had lost all interest in removing him from power after the disastrous war ended, and when Khomeini died his successor Ayatollah Khamenei, who promised he would remove Saddam from power once and for all, did little and simply sat back and watched. U.S. ally Turkey opposed any prospect of Kurdish independence, and the Saudis and other conservative Arab states feared an Iran-style Shi'ite revolution…

Saddam routinely cited his survival as "proof" that Iraq had in fact won the war against America. This message earned Saddam a great deal of popularity in many sectors of the Arab world….

Saddam, therefore, increasingly portrayed himself as a devout Muslim, in an effort to co-opt the conservative religious segments of society. Some elements of Sharia law were re-introduced, and the ritual phrase "Allahu Akbar" ("God is great"), in Saddam's handwriting, was added to the national flag.

Relations between the United States and Iraq remained tense following the Gulf War. The U.S. launched a missile attack aimed at Iraq's intelligence headquarters in Baghdad June 26, 1993, citing evidence of repeated Iraqi violations of the "no fly zones" imposed after the Gulf War and for incursions into Kuwait. Some speculated that it was in retaliation for Iraq's sponsorship of a plot to kill former President George H. W. Bush…

U.S. officials continued to accuse Saddam of violating the terms of the Gulf War's cease fire, by developing weapons of mass destruction and other banned weaponry, and violating the UN-imposed sanctions and "no-fly zones." Isolated military strikes by U.S. and British forces continued on Iraq sporadically, the largest being Operation Desert Fox in 1998. Western charges of Iraqi resistance to UN access to suspected weapons were the pretext for crises between 1997 and 1998, culminating in intensive U.S. and British missile strikes on Iraq, December 16-19, 1998. After two years of intermittent activity, U.S. and British warplanes struck harder at sites near Baghdad in February, 2001.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddam_Hussein#Postwar_period
---------------------

My theory: some people around President Mr. George W. Bush leveraged President’s anger to Saddam Hussein. They wanted another war with Iraq. They had been looking for a chance and actually took the opportunity afforded by the 9/11 Terror to breast to a war with Iraq altogether with the George W. Bush Administration.



SECTION II: "OSAMA"

If Mr. Osama bin Laden is respected by a majority of Muslims in the world, it would be very difficult for FBI to arrest him as a main culprit of the 9/11 Terror and for the U.S. military to search and destroy him as a war criminal.

-----------------------
After leaving college in 1979 bin Laden joined Abdullah Azzam to fight the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan and lived for a time in Peshawar. By 1984, with Azzam, bin Laden established Maktab al-Khadamat, which funneled money, arms and Muslim fighters from around the Arabic world into the Afghan…

Bin Laden returned to Saudi Arabia in 1990 as a hero of jihad, who along with his Arab legion, "had brought down the mighty superpower" of the Soviet Union. However, during this time Iraq invaded Kuwait and Laden met Sultan, Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, and told him not to depend on non-Muslim troops and offered to help defend Saudi Arabia. Bin Laden was rebuffed and publicly denounced Saudi Arabia's dependence on the US military. Bin Laden's criticism of the Saudi monarchy led that government to attempt to silence him…

In 1998 it was reported that bin Laden is operating his terrorist network out of Albania. The Charleston Gazette quoted Fatos Klosi, the head of the Albanian intelligence service, as saying a network run by Saudi exile Osama Bin Laden sent units to fight in the Serbian province of Kosovo. Confirmation of these activities came from Claude Kader, a French national who said he was a member of Bin Laden's Albanian network. He claimed he had visited Albania to recruit and arm fighters for Kosovo. In 2000 bin Laden was operating from Kosovo planning the terrorist activities during the Insurgency in the Preševo Valley…

In two other tapes aired by Al Jazeera in 2006, Osama bin Laden announces,

I am the one in charge of the 19 brothers … I was responsible for entrusting the 19 brothers … with the raids [5 minute audiotape broadcast May 23, 2006],

and is seen with Ramzi Binalshibh, as well as two of the 9/11 hijackers, Hamza al-Ghamdi and Wail al-Shehri, as they make preparations for the attacks (videotape broadcast September 7, 2006…

November 2007: In an interview with political interviewer David Frost taken on November 2, 2007, the Pakistani politician and Pakistan Peoples Party chairwoman Benazir Bhutto claimed that bin Laden had been murdered by Omar Sheikh…

In October 2007, Bhutto stated in an interview that she would cooperate with the American military in targeting Osama bin Laden…


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

I strongly recommend the American people not to allow their military to simply destroy him, but bring Mr. Osama bin Laden to justice at a U.S. court in Washington D.C. or New York, since truth is yet to prevail among American voters and taxpayers.

However, why must he continue to keep silence all through the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election to the very imminent Inauguration Day in Washington D.C.?

Is he alive now?

If the U.S. Government truly cannot tell whether one well-known man is alive or dead on this planet, how can it be the Sole Super Power in the world?

The War on Terror started with Mr. Osama bin Laden; when it ends, it must end with him.



SECTION III: Mr. Barack Hussein Obama II

Senator Mr. Barack Obama is an American Christian, since he behaves as such.

However, he may be thinking more piously than ordinary American Christians on difference between the Bible and the Koran.
--------------------------
Obama and Islam
posted by Jon Wiener on 11/16/2007 @ 11:24am


Because Obama's father was a Muslim, he "could lead a reconciliation between the Muslim countries and the US." With any of the other candidates as president, Hersh said, "we're facing two or three decades of problems in the Mideast, with 1.2 billion Muslims."

In Obama's 2006 book The Audacity of Hope he wrote that his Kenyan father was "raised a Muslim," but says he was a "confirmed atheist" by the time his parents met. His parents separated when he was two years old and later divorced.

Of course if Obama did win the nomination, one can only imagine what the Republicans would do with the fact that his father was a Muslim.

As for the short term, Hersh said, "Cheney thinks war with Islam is inevitable, so we might as well have it now." Administration plans for bombing Iran call for targeting the Revolutionary Guards. Iran's response, Hersh said, is likely to be "asymmetrical" - instead of striking back directly at the US, they will "hit the oil" in the Gulf. The result will be oil prices of "$200 or $300 a barrel," double or triple the current price…

http://www.thenation.com/blogs/notion/252300

--------------------------

President Mr. George W. Bush’s best practice might be his refraining from launching military operations against Iran.

But, President Mr. Barack Obama might be more easily led to a war with Iran by circumstances of various kinds close and remote if not Islamic.

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

It will be around 2 a.m. on Wednesday of Japan Time that the Presidential Inauguration begins in Washington D.C.

Some Japanese TV stations are being prepared for live broadcast of the American national ceremony in the extension of the late night of today.

I think I have something to work on tonight that is so important requiring much time even with a TV set turned on by my side.

"Fear Not"

(Tokyo; click to enlarge)


"Fear Not"


Barack,

Afghanistan, what can be your Vietnam is.

Incredibly war is still going on in Afghanistan, though the number of enemies of America is just 50,000 or 60,000 who are equipped only with AK-47 machine-guns or RPG launchers while being unable to buy air tickets for America, since they are poor, just very poor.


Yet, more than 600 U.S. soldiers were already killed while 20,000 U.S. enemies were killed in addition to almost 30,000 civilian deaths.



OK, let’s check the situation, since Ms. Rice is now leaving.

- N. Korea: Priority to build up nuclear deterrent

http://www.wn.com/afghanistan
------------------------------------

These are bleak facts in and around Afghanistan as of today.

Yet, Americans are really forward-looking as a New York Time’s poll shows:


http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/18/us/politics/18poll.html?_r=2&hp

Almost 60% of Americans seem to believe that they can get better jobs and better economy in five years or so.

However, as the situations in these eight years have been highly dominated by a small group called AlQaeda and their hit-or-miss decision to attack just several big buildings in New York and Washington D.C. in 2001, actually leading to 8,000 deaths of Americans both domestically and overseas, the country so small and poor, in terms of the national power, called Afghanistan might make the U.S. Government and the American people suffer again in the next five years or so, even if not economically.

Eventually, in the Presidential Election of 2012 or 2016, all the American voters might go in a fever and vote for the first Muslim U.S. President in the history.

Indeed, the world must be improved at least a little when you, Barack, leave the White House someday for another journey (maybe to Africa).

Sincerely,
