"Trouble Not Thyself"



(That radio-controlled glider is 5 to 6 feet wide along the wings...)


Time to Salvage California

Once gold in California shaped its state.

It is no more grapes and vegetables, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, and Mexican immigrants, legal or illegal, that would save Californian poor people.

It is the Pacific Ocean where Columbus, if not Amerigo, should have been sailing to Japan passing Hawaii and Iwojima 500 years ago...


SECTION I: IOU (I Owe You, GOD)

The California State has $26 billion deficits, being forced to issue special financial notes called IOUs:
-----
General Information about Registered Warrants (IOUs)

1. What is a registered warrant?
A registered warrant is a "promise to pay," or an IOU, that is issued by the State when there are not enough funds to pay all of its General Fund obligations. Registered warrants bear interest and are redeemable by the State Treasury only when the General Fund has sufficient money. If the Legislature and Governor fail to enact budgetary solutions that provide enough cash for the State to pay all of its bills by July 2, the Controller will begin issuing registered warrants. Assuming there is adequate cash in the Treasury, those warrants may be redeemed on October 2, 2009. Both the issue and the maturity date will be printed on the warrant. If the Pooled Money Investment Board (PMIB) determines there is sufficient cash available for redemption at an earlier date, the warrants may be redeemed earlier than October 2, 2009.

4. What is the difference between a registered warrant and a regular, or "normal" warrant?
A regular warrant is redeemable by the State Treasurer after it is issued. Registered warrants are negotiable instruments, but they will not be redeemed by the State Treasurer until the warrant matures on October 2, 2009, and the State has enough cash to cover the amount of the warrants. If the Pooled Money Investment Board (PMIB) determines there is sufficient cash available for redemption at an earlier date, they may be redeemed earlier than October 2, 2009.

7. What happens if my financial institution will not accept the registered warrant?
You may decide to open an account at another financial institution that will accept registered warrants, or you will have to hold the warrant until it matures on October 2, 2009.

Governor Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger must realize that the plight California is suffering cannot be solved by California alone.

Governor Mr. Schwarzenegger had better try to find friends in Japan.


SECTION II: Ninomiya Sontoku (1787-1856)

I recommend every global elite, including Governor Mr. Schwarzenegger and Tokyo Governor Mr. Shintaro Ishihara, to study work achieved by Ninomiya Sontoku, a civil reformation practitioner in the era of the Tokugawa (samurai) regime of Japan.

-----
Born into a poor family, Ninomiya was completely self-educated. Through diligence and careful planning he was able to develop and increase his family’s landholdings. His success came to the attention of local officials, and he was soon invited to join the government. There was nothing revolutionary in Ninomiya’s system. He taught peasant families how to budget their expenses and plan their work, and he advocated mutual aid and cooperation in farm communities. Nevertheless, his methods achieved remarkable success in improving agriculture; his fame became widespread when the regions that he had developed suffered very little during the great national famine of 1836.

Ninomiya was also a moral leader who believed in the value of hard work and the dignity of manual labour and was able to instill in the peasants pride in their own occupations and the urge to follow his example of working to improve the general welfare. In the long run his ideas may have helped spur a desire for a more equalitarian social order.


http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/415762/Ninomiya-Sontoku

[Note: Ninomiya is a surname and Sontoku is his first name, as it is a name of the one who lived before the modernization of Japan starting in 1868.]
-----

That is why I am telling you that the Japanese economic success after WWII owes its tradition of its unique Buddhism (and the Christian-democratic Constitution).

It is time for California citizens to learn the Japanese Buddhism to conquer the large-scale social plight.

It is so, since even the past excellent Japanese socialists and communists were more influenced by Buddhism rather than Christianity, in my humble view, especially in their defining standards of justice and friendship.

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

First, Japanese politicians must fully realize that Japanese businesses heavily invested in Taiwan, Korea, and China during the "lost decade" rather than in the Japanese domestic market.

So, contrary to views of most of American economists and politicians, Japanese businesses, including Toyota and Honda, have never experienced the "lost decade."

The size of Japan is almost equal to that of California. Japan has been at the limit of economic and industrial success in terms of the geological size and the natural environment.

Maximum GDP the people are allowed to output without destroying the land and the nature of Japan has been already reached in Japan in early 1990's. It is the truth of the "lost decade" for Japan.

So, the extension of the Japanese GDP is now found in Taiwan, Korea, and China. So, though consumer power of Japan has been limited in its expansion due to those environmental (and cultural) conditions, Japanese businesses have now bases overseas and retain potential for further expansion, like in the case of Toyota vs. GM.

Therefore, Japanese politicians themselves must fully grasp this truth to give advice to President Mr. Obama and Governor Mr. Schwarzenegger so that they will turn their eyes even to Canada, Cuba, and Mexico (hopefully as far as Columbia) to find room for expanding American and Californian GDPs. Then American and Californian businesses will grow and accumulate potential to save the governments. (NAFTA has been operated too superficially comapred with Japan's financial investment and industrial involvement in Taiwan, Korea, and China.)

It is so, since Japan's (at least psychological) stability depends on a number of businesses with accumulated potential to salvage the Japanese Government.

Finally, Japanese politicians must fully realize that the success of Asia, India, and China has been also the underlying success of Japan who has sacrificed its further prosperity in the form of the "lost decade."

They must look more proud than Asians, Indians, and Chinese.

It is so, now EEE-Reporter has first in the world presented this "Environment-GDP Correlation Theory Applied to Japan."

That is all for this week, with reverence for Jesus Christ.

Luk 7:4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:

Luk 7:5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.

Luk 7:6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:

Luk 7:7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.

Next Prime Minister Hopeful Yukio Hatoyama

NHK TV NEWS SHOW

TV ASAHI NEWS SHOW

7. Awarding of honors.
8. Attestation of instruments of ratification and other diplomatic documents as provided for by law.
9. Receiving foreign ambassadors and ministers.
10. Performance of ceremonial functions.


Yet, it is very exceptional.


SECTION I: WHOSE AMERICA

There is an unsettled controversy about why "America" was named so.

-----
The earliest known use of the name America for this particular landmass dates from April 25, 1507. It appears first on a small globe map with twelve time zones, and then a large wall map created by the German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges in France. An accompanying book, Cosmographiae Introductio, explains that the name was derived from the Latinized version of the florentine explorer Amerigo Vespucci's name, Americus Vespucius, in its feminine form, America, as the other continents all have Latin feminine names...

Another objection is that new countries and continents were never named after an explorer's first name, hence Tasmania (after Abel Tasman), Van Diemen's Land (after Anthony van Diemen) and The Cook Islands (after Captain James Cook). The only exceptions to this were places named after royal people, hence the Victoria Falls. Therefore, under this principle America would have been called Vespuccia...

Another theory, first proposed by a Bristol antiquary and naturalist, Alfred Hudd, in 1908 was that America is derived from Richard Amerike (Richard ap Meurig), a Welsh merchant from Bristol, who is believed to have financed John Cabot's voyage of discovery from England to Newfoundland in 1497 as found in some documents from Westminster Abbey a few decades ago. Supposedly, Bristol fishermen had been visiting the coast of North America for at least a century before Columbus' voyage and Waldseemüller's maps are alleged to incorporate information from the early English journeys to North America. The theory holds that a variant of Amerike's name appeared on an early English map (of which no copies survive) and that this was the true inspiration for Waldseemüller.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas#Naming
-----

The truth might be found in the world map created in 1507.
(Click to enlarge.)

Anyway, importance of reporting can be here confirmed, since as Amerigo Vespucci reported on the new continent in his letters general European people came to have a notion of the continent over the Atlantic.

-----
The two disputed letters claim that Vespucci made four voyages to America, while at most two can be verified from other sources. At the moment there is a dispute between historians on when Vespucci visited mainland the first time. Some historians like German Arciniegas and Gabriel Camargo Perez think that his first voyage was done in June 1497 with the Spanish Pilot Juan de la Cosa. Vespucci's real historical importance may well rest more in his letters, whether he wrote them all or not, than in his discoveries. From these letters, the European public learned about the newly discovered continent of the Americas for the first time; its existence became generally known throughout Europe within a few years of the letters' publication. Why exactly he died is unclear. He died on February 22, 1512 in Seville, Spain.

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

So, the news reporting makes or decides a case sometimes.

Yet, if Mr. Barack Obama should successfully and gloriously fulfill his duty from 2009 to 2017, why not rename America "Obama?"

Of course, it is theologically supported to rename America New Palestine, since Judaists were expelled out of Spain in 1492, eventually leading to the Holocaust.


SECTION II: Martin Luther (1483 – 1546)

It looks like a little strange that Christopher Columbus (1451 - 1506) and Martin Luther lived almost the same era.

Let's confirm how Mratin Luther regarded Judaists:
-----
Luther argued that the Jews were no longer the chosen people but "the devil's people": he referred to them with violent, vile language.[164][165] Luther advocated setting synagogues on fire, destroying Jewish prayerbooks, forbidding rabbis from preaching, seizing Jews' property and money, and smashing up their homes, so that these "poisonous envenomed worms" would be forced into labour or expelled "for all time".[166] In Robert Michael's view, Luther's words "We are at fault in not slaying them" amounted to a sanction of murder.

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

Judaists living after 1492 should have all considered their taking refugee in the new continent, leaving Germany and any other part of Europe.

"The Foundation on a Rock"




(Somewhere belonging to the year 2009)


Remnant since 3 Months, 2 Years, and 5 Centuries Ago


Now I can recall the early summer of 2007. I thought the media people, including Japanese ones, would be very busy in 2008 with the Olympic Games in China and the Presidential Election in the U.S.

The Beijing Summer Olympic Games turned out to be so ominous with the Tibet issue and the Great Sichuan Earthquake; the 2008 U.S, Presidential Election also proceeded extraordinarily with the 9/15 Lehman Shock and the subsequent GM crisis.

This summer in Japan is going to make the Japanese media people as busy as in 2008, since something rooted in 2007 is yet to be fixed.

Anyway, Airbus does not seem to welcome you if you fly to Africa or France for vacation, though the 2009 G8 Summit is going to be held in L'Aquila, Italy, the town a large earthquake hit this April as a warning to the Vatican.



SECTION I: AGE of COLUMBUS

From a theological point of view, there is a big question about Christopher Columbus’ discovery of the new world around 1500.

Why must it be around 1500?

Around 1500, the following epoch-making incidents occurred all over the world:
JAPAN – The age of civil strife started in Japan over the domestic political hegemony among samurai lords.

CHINA – The last Chinese imperial dynasty Ming established by the Han people was at its pinnacle of prosperity and moral. After this period, Ming started to fall due to imperial corruption.

INDIA – The age of Hindu empires was getting to the end; and an Islamic Persianate/Mongolian imperial power the Mughal Empire was about to start.

RUSSIA - The Grand Duchy of Moscow, the root of the Russian Empire, was founded, achieving independence from the Ulus of Jochi or the Golden Horde, a descendant of the Mongolian Empire.

SPAIN - The Kingdom of Spain was founded.

ENGLAND/FRANCE - The Hundred Years' War (Guerre de Cent Ans) was over and the two nations started to develop very independently.

In this age, the future United States of America’s basement was placed by the Columbus’ voyage aiming at Japan.

Indeed, it took 500 years until the heyday of the American Democratic Empire around 2000.

Thus, the existence of America itself is very apocalyptic.


SECTION II: Inheritance from 500 Years Ago

Preceding the decision of Columbus to sail to the west and reach Japan, information on Asia was brought to Europe.

-----
The Travels of Marco Polo is the usual English title of Marco Polo's travel book, nicknamed Il Milione (The Million, see below) or Le Livre des Merveilles (The Book of Wonders). This description of his travels and stays in the Orient, including Asia, Persia, China and Indonesia, between 1271 and 1298 is also known as Oriente Poliano or Description of the World.[1] It was a very famous and popular book in the 13th century.

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

Columbus read this book and dreamed of his glory reaching Japan.

But, the point at issue is that as Columbus arrived at the American Continent around 1500, he brought the air of the era there over the Atlantic.

In the old world everything has changed in these 500 years, but in the American Continent, something must remain as it was 500 years ago.

This kind of phenomena could be often observed in history. In the peripheral regions of the Roman Empire newly developed, some cultural aspects of the Empire of the age was well preserved even after they were lost in Rome.

(Some important cultural aspects of the ancient Chinese civilization was also preserved in Japan of today far better and more profoundly than in China of today.)

So, something common 500 years ago in the old world must be preserved well and found in the contemporary America.

Or, as Columbus read the book written by Marco Polo in the 13th century, even something mirroring the air of the 13th century might be preserved and found in the American Continent of today.

The key to understanding the destiny of America might depend on this notion.

In my humble view, it is related to Islam, Hindu, and Buddhism, and even Confucianism and Taoism.


SECTION III: Judaists in 1492

Judaists were expelled out of Spain in 1492. Some influential Judaist clans moved to Istanbul and were welcomed. Istanbul became an intellectual center for Judaists for subsequent years, but eventually they could not sustain networks of Judaists spreading all over Europe, thus leading to a very precarious situation.

-----
It is believed that the destiny of our Turkels' forebears begins with the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492. More than 300,000 "Sephardic" Jews spread out throughout the Mediterranean world, welcomed by the Ottoman Empire in 1492. Spain had been one of the centers of Jewish life at that time, a place where Jews had flourished for a thousand years (the first seven centuries under Moslem rule). Up to the 16th century most those expelled Jews settled in Italy, the Turkish Empire, North Africa, and the New World. The most fortunate of the expelled Jews succeeded in escaping to Turkey...

the 16th and the first half of the 17th Jewish population grew consierably, up to 500,000 Jews in Poland, about five per cent of the total population of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. New arrivals were due to "Sephardic" Jews, who had been driven away from Spain and Portugal. There is a reason to believe (see the 17th century legend) that the Turkels are "Sephardic" Jews, who arrvied from Spain/Potrugal to Poland via Turkey. Still we are not sure when exactly they arrived to the Eastern and Central Europe.


http://www.geocities.com/turkel.geo/History.htm
-----

Now you know, the discovery of the new world by Columbus is historically and critically linked with the fate of Judaists.

"Every One that is Perfect "




(Two days ago, somewhere in Asia)


Columbus' Egg


Recently I have noticed that I encountered many times in these days cars with a license plate number "88-88." This morning a Japanese newspaper read that a general or snap election seems to be scheduled for August 8 by Prime Minister Mr. Taro Aso. Then, August 8, 2009 might be virtually the last day for the regime of the LDP-New Komeito political coalition in Japan if the DPJ does not fail in taking this opportunity smartly...


SECTION I: Christopher Columbus

Isaac Newton was not so great as he already knew that the world is a sphere, leading to a simple but valuable enigma why people on the other side of the Great Britain do not fall to the space.

It is Christopher Columbus that had promoted acts of experimental proof on the shape of the earth. Nonetheless, Columbus miscalculated the distance from Europe to Japan, his ultimate goal.

-------
Moreover, Columbus believed that one degree represented a shorter distance on the Earth's surface than was actually the case. Finally, he read maps as if the distances were calculated in Italian miles (1,238 meters). Accepting the length of a degree to be 56⅔ miles, from the writings of Alfraganus, he therefore calculated the circumference of the Earth as 25,255 kilometers at most, and the distance from the Canary Islands to Japan as 3,000 Italian miles (3,700 km, or 2,300 statute miles). Columbus did not realize Alfraganus used the much longer Arabic mile (about 1,830 m).

The true circumference of the Earth is about 40,000 km (25,000 sm), a figure established by Eratosthenes in the second century BC,[10] and the distance from the Canary Islands to Japan 19,600 km (12,200 sm). No ship that was readily available in the 15th century could carry enough food and fresh water for such a journey...

While Columbus's calculations underestimated the circumference of the Earth and the distance from the Canary Islands to Japan by the standards of his peers as well as in fact, Europeans generally assumed that the aquatic expanse between Europe and Asia was uninterrupted.


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

Except Jesus Christ Himself so gloriously, Christopher Columbus is the greatest hero in these 2000 years of the human history, definitely.

Christopher Columbus is the No.1 hero as he uniquely discovered the American Continent in 1492 on his incomplete mission to Japan.

His influence even covered the greatest discovery of gravity by Newton in the 17th century, namely 200 years after Columbus.

--------
The Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (now known as the Principia) was published on 5 July 1687 with encouragement and financial help from Edmond Halley. In this work Newton stated the three universal laws of motion that were not to be improved upon for more than two hundred years. He used the Latin word gravitas (weight) for the effect that would become known as gravity, and defined the law of universal gravitation.

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

(The gravity must be a remnant reaction of the Big Bang or the initial formation of the time and space. The Big Bang exploded the space and time to expand this universe. But, there is always a reaction to an action. A unit of energy must have received both the expanding force and the contracting force due the first great explosion of the universe, the Big Bang, or the initial formation of the time and space some 14 billion years ago.

[This action-reaction model on the origin of the gravity must be first presented in the world by EEE Reporter, as an evidence....])



SECTION II: Marilyn Monroe and Michael Jackson

Marilyn Monroe mysteriously died on August 5, 1962.

Martin Luther King, Jr. in a revolutionary move died on April 4, 1968.

Michael Jackson mysteriously died on June 25, 2009.

Mr. Barack Obama is in a revolutionary move to run for the 2012 Presidential Election.

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

Another Airbus crashed on the opposite side of Africa very early on June 30 at the local time.

It is very apocalyptic, though a girl was rescued.

Is something so apocalyptic going on Africa or France?

Anyway the coming G7 Summit must be more tightly secured, if you are going to cover it.

"Give to Every Man"




(Last evening somewhere in Japan)


"WHO LOVES JAPAN?"



SECTION I: Spherical Heart, Heart-Shaped Heart, and Square Heart

Ancient Japanese thought that a soul is in the mind.

In Japanese, a soul is called "Tamashii."

Here, "tama" means a globe or a ball.

In Japanese, a mind is called "Kokoro"

Here, "kokoro" is, according to an authentic theory, an abbreviation for "koro-koro," a state of a globe or a ball rolling.

Therefore, ancient Japanese thought that a globe-like soul is in the rolling-ball-like mind.

Yet, ancient Chinese thought that a mind is square, while Europeans think a mind is heart-shaped like a physical heart in the chest.

Now, you know how Japanese are different from Chinese and Europeans.

Accordingly, the Japanese concept of money and economy must be different from that of Europeans and Chinese, which global politicians and economists must respect.

It is so, since "yen," a unit of Japanese currency, means a circle.

(Once Japanese often named a cat "Tama," since a cat is more spherical than square or heart-shaped. In addition, a tiger "tora." There is a kind of cat called "tora-neko," a tiger-cat...)


SECTION II: Prime Minister Mr. Taro Aso

Suppose that the Republican Party has held power since the Korean War, all through the Cuban Crisis, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, the Persian Gulf War, and the Money War on Japan, and further the War on Terror, except a very exceptional year in early 1990's.

And, in 2009, for the first time the Democratic Party has got a chance to take over the White House through election.

Then, you will understand how historical the year 2009 is.

In Japan, it is reality with the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) in the position of the Republicans and the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), though founded just a decade ago, in the place of the Democrats.

So, incumbent Prime Minister of Japan Mr. Taro Aso, whose approval rate has been recently lowered to less than 20%, might become the last prime minister from the LDP. By law, the term of the House of Representatives is to end this September and a general election is held; then newly elected Diet members will vote for a new prime minister of Japan. But, by law, Prime Minister Mr. Taro Aso can dissolve the lower house to exercise his initiative to control the situation.

This situation in suspense has continued in Japan since Prime Minister Mr. Aso assumed the premiership last September.

As Mr. Barack Obama was elected as U.S. President last November, it is very likely that Mr. Taro Aso loses the coming general election, and head of the DPJ Mr. Yukio Hatoyama takes the seat of Prime Minister of Japan in a few months.

Indeed, it is the era that GM goes bankrupt and Toyota records some billion-dollars deficit.



SECTION III: Japan Uses the Least Energy Producing Steel

Steel is still the core of today's material civilization.

And, Japan is Number One in the world in producing crude steel with less energy.


( http://www.jisf.or.jp/business/ondanka/efficiency/docs/EnergyEfficiencyJPN.pdf)

Japanese technology and efforts for energy saving in industry surpasses all the other nations, including the U.S., Canada, the U.K., France, Germany, Australia, China, India, and Russia.

The world should respect Japan. The world should not request unrealistic CO2 reduction efforts for Japan, since Japan has been leading the world in energy saving efforts.

The scale of the Japanese economy is the main factor for the large CO2 emission from this second largest economy in the world, though it could be 30% to 40% larger without its current high technology.

"Solomon in All his Glory"




(Modern, old, and ever around Tokyo)


NOT THE MATTER OF HEALTH CARE BUT OF POVERTY


Late last Saturday night in Japan, a cable TV channel distributed "Sicko" produced by Mr. Michael Moore.

I think I have not yet watched it fully, but I saw different part this time, since I tuned to the channel midway.

The film did not show what excellent medical care you can receive if you become rich in the U.S. It tells that as the U.S. Government is too much stronger than poor American voters, free and high-level health care services are not provided for poor Americans.

So, more and more non-poor Americans must join the poor voters against the U.S. Government and the health-care industry.


SECTION I: AMERICAN POVERTY 13%

The ever-increasing gap between the rich and the poor in the U.S. is a result of poor religious education among the rich.

http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/47/2/41528678.pdf

Yet the ratio of the poor among the U.S. population has been surprisingly stable in these decades. Or, despite one definitely poor man among eight people all over America, political power has been always in the hands of the very rich and super rich.

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

Life and circumstances of ordinary Americans and poor Americans have not been so much changed in these decades though they can see digital TV programs, use cellular phones, and access the Internet; they cannot spend one-month summer vacation in the Caribbean Sea, Africa, or Europe.

But, rich, very rich, and super rich Americans' life and circumstances have drastically changed as they have now so many options for the summer holidays in Dubai, Mumbai, Shanghai, Moscow, Rio de Janeiro, around the world, and in the space.

Yet, a sensible balance was blown off in September 2008 with the Wall Street crisis, leading to awoken voting for Mr. Barack Obama.


SECTION II: Wnt vs. Alzheimer Disease

Japanese medical scientists have finally or first in the world identified a gene that might prevent occurrence of the Parkinson's disease, the Alzheimer disease, and the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

The gene is called "Wnt" which preserves necessary and essential connections among neuronal cells in the human brain.

However, it is necessary to cut unnecessary connections between neuronal cells and separate them as a human being grows in order to make signal processing efficient.

In the brain of a newborn baby, most of neuronal cells are connected and linked together. But, this state is not efficient for signal processing in the brain. To have the brain function efficiently, unused routes or ineffective channels among neuron cells must be severed and separated. Accordingly, there is a mechanism embedded in the brain that performs this disconnection.

But, if this mechanism works uncontrolled or unmoderated, even very necessary neuron-cell linkages could be severed and cut apart, resulting in probably the Parkinson's disease, the Alzheimer disease, and the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

But, the gene "Wnt" works to protect necessary neuronal-cell linkages from being severed and cut apart.

So, if the function of this gene is intensified, patients with the Parkinson's disease, the Alzheimer disease, and the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) might be cured.

SECTION III: 100 Billion

There are 100 billion neuronal cells in the human brain.

If each cell has a length of one inch (2.5cm), the total extended length will be longer than the distance between the earth and the moon.

In this case, specifically, the total extended length of neuronal cells in your head is almost seven times longer than the distance from the earth to the moon, according to my summary calculation.

The number of different combinations and linkages among the 100 billion neuronal cells is almost infinite, so that one can receive a signal from Heaven.

In addition, it is said that health care fraud alone costs Americans $100 billion to $400 billion a year.

Now, you can lay one dollar coins side-by-side in one straight line to the moon in the amount of at least 100 billion to measure the graveness of medical crimes.

Mat 6:28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

Mat 6:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Mat 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

Marilyn Monroe, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Michael Jackson





(Last Friday evening with swallows on the pond...)


Mr. Michael Jackson died a mysterious death.

If you do not respect his personality at all (from a Christian or Islamic point of view), you might get anxious about a dark shadow behind his death.

From my very personal experiences, a hospital, a medical doctor, a nurse, or a drug sometimes performs a perfect crime, whether with a clear intention or not or whether planned or accidentally.

Now, let's recall the case of Marilyn Monroe (1 June 1926 – 5 August 1962), since she died prior to President John F. Kennedy as well as Robert Kennedy in Los Angeles.

-----
On August 5, 1962, LAPD police sergeant Jack Clemmons received a call at 4:25 a.m. from Dr. Ralph Greenson, her psychiatrist, proclaiming that Monroe was dead at her home in Brentwood, Los Angeles, California.[118] At the subsequent autopsy, eight milligram percent of chloral hydrate and 4.5 milligram percent of Nembutal were found in her system,[119] and Dr. Thomas Noguchi of the Los Angeles County Coroners office recorded cause of death as "acute barbiturate poisoning," resulting from accidental overdose.

-----

This is a bad sequence, since after the death of Marilyn Monroe, Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was shot dead.

Anyway, President Mr. Barack Obama is safe and blessed though over so many sacrifices, in my humble view from around Tokyo...


APPENDIX A. Bake-Shop "OBAMA"
According to today's Asahi Shimbun Newspaper issued in Japan, there is a baker's shop called "OBAMA" in Baghdad, Iraq.

In 1991, the shop called different name was destroyed by U.S. air raids. Since 2003 when U.S. troops attacked and invaded the capital of Iraq, friends and relatives of the shop owner have suffered damages or lost their lives.

But, when Mr. Barack Obama was elected as U.S. President, an idea flashed on him, so that he changed the name of his baker-shop to "OBAMA," posting a name board written in English. Then, twice more clients came to buy bread at his shop.

However, as the Iraqi citizens who denied justification of the U.S. invasion account for 56% of all, the shop owner wanted U.S. troops to leave Iraq as soon as possible. Yet, he wished good relationships between the Iraqi people and the American people.

Someday, Mr. Barack Obama might visit his bake-shop, since the baker so wishes.


APPENDIX B. A Japanese Mother
Nowadays, the number of high-school students in Japan who leave school before graduation is increasing. It is mostly due to financial problems.

In a girls' high school, a student dropped out several months before graduation. She attended class for more than two and a half years, paying her tuition.

In the morning of graduation ceremony, the mother of the withdrawn student called a teacher who had been in charge of her, saying sincerely, "Please firmly praise all the students going to graduate for their efforts."

The teacher could not instantly grasp the mind of the mother whose daughter could not attain a diploma which is so valuable in the Japanese society for any girls.
