SECTION II: Power of IT and Productivity Leap

Here you can also confirm what PCs and the Internet brought about to the US society and the global money market.

Truly, the technical innovation led by Windows 95 OS and the Pentium Processors has made people twice crazy on money.

It is not because US workers suddenly started to work 16 hours per day in 1995. It is not because American poor people suddenly started to work twice more per day in 1995.

It is because high-paid businessmen and businesswomen suddenly got software and hardware based on Windows 95 OS and the Intel processors that enabled them to circulate money twice and more per day from their office in high-raised buildings, such as WTC towers, in New York.

Consequently, the number of millionaires in the U.S. got doubled since 1995 to today, accounting for 10% of all the American households.

However, 60% of Americans look unhappy and 50% of Americans are going to support "Hillary" or "Barack," both unthinkable Presidential candidates if in 1995.


SECTION III: CIA and FBI under Money Boom

It is said that even staff members of CIA and FBI were engulfed by this surge of money boom around 2000.

Inevitably, almost no one cared about a rumor about AlQaeda's movement toward probable terror in yet unidentified place in the summer of 2001, since even key members of law-enforcement agencies looked like chasing individual chances for becoming a millionaire in their connection with the financial market or on-line money transaction systems.

But, any frenzy could be halted someday.

The 9/11 terror gave the inevitable psychological shocks to financial sector workers as well as staff members of CIA and FBI.

Now, NYSE indexes have peaked around 13,000 dollar level for a length of time.

The abuse of computer power came to its worst peak with the sub-prime loan schemes applied to poor Americans.

It may be also telling that some members of CIA and FBI, in addition to FRB and SEC, have not fully come back to their right sense even after the 9/11 terror until the media coverage of the chain reaction of financial disasters triggered by the sub-prime loan problem.

Finally, the reason why no terror has occurred in the US since 2001 is apparent.

The staff members of the related departments and agencies are today less poisoned by the money boom, so that they are more faithfully performing their duties at least on national security than in the summer of 2001.


SECTION IV: Last Effect of Money Boom, "Hillary" or "Barack"

First of all, even Mr. Osama bin Laden had neither expected the total collapse of the WTC towers nor targeted specific US high-ranking officials, such as the President and the Vice-President.

(The scene in the underground shelter of the White House on the 9/11 attack a then high-ranking White House official described in his memoir tells true dismay among the Bush Administration, in addition to the wake the Air Force One made after leaving a Florida airport with the President with bemused expressions on board; it is bewilderment close to a kind of fear of a suddenly forced war.)

It was by accident from a human point of view.

If the two towers had stood against flying-in passenger planes, the things might have been different and very different.

There must not have been the invasion of Iraq and the reelection of Mr. George Bush.

Accordingly the US Presidential Election campaigns today must be very different with very different politicians running.

The War on Terror had once a narcotic effect on anybody with any stings of conscience in terms of unethical money chasing and failed terrorists chasing.

But, five years after the invasion of Iraq, people getting cool and cooler have come to think that something is wrong.

And, now they have found two superstars, a female candidate for the US President and a minority-origin candidate for the US President.

Whoever will be elected as the next US President, she or he must control and maintain discipline among staff members of FBI, CIA, FRB, and SEC to avoid the next terror and the next financial and loan crimes.

It is because people in power can do anything, including the setting up of any conspiracy theories, with a fraction of money the financial sector would provide for any justification and concealment of their illegal transactions.

And, that fraction of money can be a trillion dollars as you realize when checking the above chart and figures.

Can "Hillary" or "Barack" stand without losing composure a trillion dollar temptation?
* * *

Now whose love or faith has been boosted up as high as M3 in 1995 and later?

That is a true question and an issue here.

But, as even in Japan, still some people are arguing about conspiracy theories, in a dubious manner regardless of a percentage of truth contained there, and CIA's excessive covert interference in Japanese politics, no matter how deep in its background may be, I think I have to refer to the things since 1995, through 2001, and to 2008 Presidential Election in the above context.

(A conspiracy theory an organized crime has concocted taking in part of truth can be a kind of terror, since fear and hatred would arose from a mind haunted by a very superficially truthful theory so as to suppress effective thinking and constructive activities toward, say, true democracy, peace, and a true war against poverty.

With billion dollars, you can formulate and disseminate any conspiracy theory, since the fear and hatred is a key to the plot of hiding the core of truth by presenting some peripheral facts and evidences in a certain conspiracy theory.)

Nonetheless, everything has happened under the gaze of God or Allah.

What pleases Him is not the crazy surge of an amount of money and funds being circulated over the high-speed telecommunications links from computers in offices in buildings, such as, say, the WTC towers.

This is my message to both poor Americans and key figures in the US Government including the next President yet to be.


(Have your faith and love been boosted up so high, say, since this New Year Season?

I am telling this, since I have even taken the picture of Mt. Fuji on January 1, the holiest day in Japan.

I am truly telling this, since we are given a next day and a next week by the God Almighty.)

It Snowed in Kyoto and Tokyo

It Snowed in Kyoto and Tokyo

(Il a neigé à Kyoto et Tokyo.)



Now, half of Japan is under snowing.

Regardless of the Sea of Japan's coats or the Pacific Ocean's coasts, the north half of the Japanese Archipelago is under the snowing conditions.

But, even in its south half, if faced with the Sea of Japan, it can be often snowing.

Especially Kyoto, 500km west-southwest of Tokyo, can have more snow than in Tokyo, since Kyoto Prefecture faces the Sea of Japan.

http://www.japantimes.co.jp/

And Tokyo, blown by a sea wind, had the first snow of this year yesterday or a day before, though it was just humble spattering.


SECTION I: Spies from the Cold

Last night I got a once-in-a-decade kind of reports from a Japan's TV news program after my work late in the night.

A Russian spy bribed one of Cabinet Research Officers of the Japanese Government.

The Russian, working in the Russian Embassy in Tokyo, paid US$40,000 over several years to the Japanese officer to get some information.

It is very rare in Japan that such an incident is made public, though there are astonishingly no laws in Japan that punish a Japanese citizen for his act of treachery against Japan, which however is very Christian.

It is said that North Korea did, could and can still use, as a kind of spies, hundreds of thousands of North Korean residents in Japan who have been living in the Japanese society before and after WWII.

It is also said that any Chinese visiting Japan with any official titles, including a diplomat, a professor, and a researcher, are a kind of spies.

The issue is that politicians in democratic society are vulnerable to spies from the outside who would donate a big money to their political campaigns and activities.

But, Japanese laws never allow such public spending; the Government budget and political party payments are officially checked by its Parliament, the Board of Audit, tax offices, and so on.


Japan cannot bribe foreign politicians due to its basically Christian Constitution system.

Only what the Japanese Government, ruling parties, or pro-US politicians can do may be offer military bases on the territory of Japan almost free to the US Government.

Most of living costs of US soldiers in Japan are paid by the Japanese Government, though US voters and taxpayers as well as deans of Harvard do not seem to be informed well of this very important fact.

Anyway, once there were many conservative Japanese politicians with a strong tie with North Korea (some of whom lost their status during the era of premiership of Mr. Jyunichiro Koizumi).

Now, Chinese agents supported by huge funds seem to be enjoying free activities in the Japanese society, though they do not look very harmful, since China and the U.S. are in good terms together advancing to the success of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games and huge financial mutual dependence.

In addition, winter in Beijing and Pyongyang is colder than in Rome, Paris, London, Berlin, or Warsaw.


SECTION II. A Poor Woman in Japan

I read a letter from a female reader to an agony column of a certain Japanese newspaper.

She wrote that she had been bullied by the late mother of her husband since she had married, though she was blessed with good children.

But, her husband never helped her.

Now, she is given a pain by a sister of her husband who often brings her children to her original home where the poster of the letter and her husband live.

Children of her sister-in-law are rude and violent, showing no respect to their aunt-in-law.

But, her husband has never helped her.

Once it was common in Japan that the eldest son of a family lived with their parents in the parent's home. Therefore, the wife of the eldest son was sometimes forced to serve her parents-in-law just like a servant.

This is an example of still one of the gravest social issues in Japan, since such a situation often leads to a tragic incident, if not spousal violence.

But, of course, spying out a secret of other family is a sin, a very grave sin, if not for imminent prevention of child abuse or something like that, in my view.


SECTION III. Divorced President

If a man or a woman who have married three times becomes the US President, we must be truly alerted, though we do not have to be against a madam President or a minority-origin President.

Though the Vatican does not seem to mind such a thing nowadays, US Christians and poor Americans should be really alerted.

US Christians and poor Americans should also remember that leaders of China and North Korea never respect Jesus Christ.

Their female spy might become the second or third wife of a US President someday.

US Christians and poor Americans should realize that the reason of their existence is to supersede the Vatican.

It is because the God allowed Columbus to discover the new continent America for that purpose.
* * *

And now, I hope you will have a happy weekend, though I don't recommend you Las Vegas, since espionage agents and mafias love such a world.

In that case, you had better be blown by the wind, since an answer is blown high over the Kanto Plain, the last reach of the General Winter from Siberia.


(This Sunday is January 20, isn't it?
Last year it was January 21.

Indeed, we have to change the calendar system.
We need no months but 365 days or 366 days in a yearly calendar.

The days corresponding to multiples of 7 should be Sunday.
We should call a day, say, "the 210th day of the year, Sunday" or so.)



"PRESERVE YOUR FREEDOM"

SECTION I: "Hillary" vs. "Black" Voters

Last night in Japan a TV news caster looking like a remote cousin of Mona Lisa said that Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton has faced another tough challenge: "Black" voters.

Indeed, it is a deeply rooted issue, since they wrote: "So now Barack Hussein Obama and his supporters are playing the 'race card'. A desperate attempt at division and hate. I thought that was the Republican policy?"
http://hillaryrodhamclinton2008.blogspot.com/

Truly, an FEN radio reported that former Secretary of the Treasury Mr. Lawrence Summers said that this year the U.S. would get into a recession, not a matter of possibility but high probability.

If I were a Democratic candidate for the US President, I might address, "Black men have red blood. I have red blood. I am a kind of a black man, 100%, as so proven by my blood!"

And, I would conclude a financial peace treaty with Japan as we have already a kind of a military peace treaty between the U.S. and Japan, though I would not much trust in Harvard deans, since they don't know almost anything critical about history and culture of Japan, the second strongest country in the world and the number one Asian country all through the 20th century to today.

(However, I also recommend this idea to "Mitt," too, since we are all a kind of "black," including Israelite Americans.)


SECTION II: Tower of Bubble

The next US President to be must first look at the following chart:

For more accurate and authentic figure, refer to
http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/WIMFNS

This figure also corroborates my theory of "Windows 1995 Effect on US Economy."

And, remember since 1995 the number of Americans who have one million dollars or more assets is doubled up to this day, accounting 10% of all the households of the U.S.

(As 7.5 million US households are regarded as being a millionaire, 7.5 trillion dollars [= 7.5 million multiplied by one million dollars] must have been actually taken by these families in this period in proportion to the steep portion of the above graph, though 1500 billion dollars means 1.5 triilion dollars.)

The next US President to be, if he or she is one of such new millionaires, must address this crisis of the "Tower of Money Bubble."

My suggestion is that partial disassembly of the tower is better than total collapse of the tower.

At least it was proven in 2001 that if the amount of institutional monetary funds exceeded 500 billion dollars, staff members and officials of CIA and FBI would lose incentives to work hard, receive salary, and get content with it.

They would check financial charts and market information instead of terror report in their office in such a trend of the capitalist society.


SECTION III: Theory of Windows 1995 Effect on US Economy

The sequence of the effect is as follows:
Especially, software used in financial sectors is a key to multiplier effect in the stock exchange and the bond market as well as securitization handling.

SEC, all for fairness and security of the global market, should order all the related businesses to make public software products they are using to circulate money in the market.
* * *

To your astonishment, they just like to accumulate big money.

They like to see poor people suffering due to the lack of money.

That is why they love big money so much, while they cannot even use it for, say, the peace of the world or a victory over terror!

But, the new US President to be must not be such a person who holds the poor in derision, since the God or Allah loves the poor.


(A relatively young woman in Japan was yesterday awarded a notable literature prize.

But, she speaks a dialect: "Osaka-ben" or "Kanasi-ben."

The only dialect you can hear in Tokyo is this Osaka-ben, since Osaka is the strongest city next to Tokyo.

Yet, do you like to hear it, say, in the national assembly or in a TV studio?

I don't think, for another example, the British respect those South Asians or Africans speaking English with unique intonation.

Do the Mafias speak like candidates for the US Presidency?)

SECTION 1: "Lisa, Wasn't Leonard Weird?"

They are reporting everywhere, from the late-night news program to New York Times Online, that the model of Leonard da Vinci's famous picture of a lady, 500 years ago, has been confirmed as "Lisa del Giocondo, wife of Florentine businessman Francesco del Giocondo."

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/arts/AP-Art-Mona-Who.html?_r=1&scp=2&sq=Da+Vinci&oref=slogin

I cannot feel any light of faithfulness to God in works of Leonard da Vinci. But, his touch of a pagan spirit, however, with modern exactness has really appealed to Europeans for centuries or 500 years to the extent that Leonard is regarded as anti-Christ.

I don't know what exchange of words or emotions was done between the painter and the sitter.

But what matters to an artist must be his talent, through which he can connect himself to God, but neither his work nor a model. If an artist sticks to a work portraying a certain model, it is no more a painting of art for the interest of society but a picture of his personal memory.

You had better stop to show a mean interest or curiosity in a remnant of emotional exchange between a faithless painter and a pious lady 500 years ago.

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



SECTION 2: LAST SUPPER

Leonard da Vinci did not respect Jesus Christ. But, he painted the Last Supper.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Last_supper_copy_by_unknown_artist.jpg

Mar 14:17 And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.

Mar 14:18 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.

Mar 14:19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?

Mar 14:20 And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.

Mar 14:21 The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.

Mar 14:22 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

Mar 14:23 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.

Mar 14:24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.

Mar 14:25 Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

Mar 14:26 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.


Jesus Christ did not tell anybody not to betray Him, or tell others to hold and stop the betrayer.

Jesus Christ, however, completely suppressed their commotion at the last supper by performing a ritual with bread and wine and by singing a hymn.

The meaning of "betrayal" might have been misunderstood for 2000 years, since it is impossible to believe that He could not persuade one of His elite disciples having been trained and educated so much to follow God but not the Satan.

Then blame should be placed on the Church not on the painter of the "Last Supper," since it was almost 900 years after the emergence of Islam.



SECTION 3: Economics without Ethics

I checked a book containing writings by scores of Japanese economists and professors.

(http://www.junkudo.co.jp/detail2.jsp?ID=0248006400 )

It is clear that no experts in this field have the ability to argue ethics as the most important factor in human activities including economic performance and business life.

Just like I don't feel any sincere quest of ethics in works of art created by Leonard da Vinci, I feel a kind of flaw in intelligence or personality, which should be based on ethics, of most of those economists and scholars in terms of ethics, though the authors of texts in the book are all Japanese but not Europeans and Americans in this profession.

Economy is to make your neighbors, but not yourself, happy, according to a principle of Jesus' Economy.
* * *

What is reflected in the picture of Mona Lisa is the feeling the model had to the painter Leonard da Vinci. She must have understood him but not loved him at all, since he looked weird somehow, in my view. An angel must have been on her side but not on da Vinci's side.

Modern economists all look like da Vinci.

No ethics but technicality only.

While da Vinci was painting Mona Lisa, Columbus had discovered the new continent America where no one would feel like painting such pictures, though they might face great temptation of gold and oil which would take away such an expression of woman's emotion from the civilization, however, centuries later.

Conversely, it was the age when such an expression was getting rare even among Italian ladies, in my humble view; hence we could regard Mona Lisa as such a historical record.


(According to one theory, change in prices of some luxury goods might be correlated with a change in the stock market price index.

I suppose that a change in popularity of da Vinci's works might be correlated with a change in a kind of social trends, not so favorable to both believers and the Church.

Therefore, Mesdemoiselles, you had better be taken as an analogy of Mother Mary, Jean of Arc, or, say, Marie Curie, but not Mona Liza, since bad guys seem to have been all around Lisa del Giocondo for 500 years.)

SECTION 1: Snoopy Challenged the German to a Real Dogfight

A Japan's late-night news program presented, last night, a very rare report on the training of Japan's Air Self-Defense Force with F-15s.

However, it is not a paradigm of the 21st century's air battles they are engaged in, in my view.

In this century, the air defense should not rely on fighter planes but surface-to-air missiles, air-to-air missiles, or antiaircraft laser guns.

You can fire an intelligent missile that can fly fast over a 100 km distance or so with a speed and a size that never allows itself to be shot by an enemy plane invading each of which will be targeted at by several missiles, since we will have plenty of them.

Another point is that a cost of one missile will be small, since we will deploy 10,000 missiles along the coast lines. If China, North Korea, Russia, and even South Korea know that Japan has 10,000 of such intelligent, high-precision, high-speed, and long-range anti-aircraft missiles, they will never challenge Japan.

With a budget for one F-15 jet fighter, 100 new missiles will be purchased if they tackle the cost reduction with a skill, a system and enthusiasm Toyota has exercised to compete with American car giants, since the core of the missile is electronics, a kind applied to cars.

(A large airship floating or halting in the air equipped with 100 missiles will be enough to turn enemy planes back at the distance of 150km, for example.)

Anyway, I think the era of Snoopy and Baron von Richthofen is over.
http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/lyrics/snoopyred.htm

And, remember to have Air Self-Defense pilots wear a lucky charm for avoiding an accident.


SECTION 2: Financial Times Economists

A Japanese veteran engineer referred to a FT economist, Mr. Martin Wolf.
(http://www.randdmanagement.com/c_econom/ec_134.htm )

So, I also checked his writing on Asian Financial Crisis in 1997, since this incident could be used to test economists.

http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/11e10c3c-0893-11dc-b11e-000b5df10621.html?nclick_check=1

Mr. Wolf wrote:
"As Nouriel Roubini of New York University’s Stern School of Business argues, the Asians did not learn the lessons most western economists thought they should..."

Financial Times looks very biased to the eye of some Japanese.

Financial Times lives in the paradigm of the era of colonization in the 20th and the 19th century.

They have no love and friendship to Asians and Asian countries.

Any Western economist who never focuses on Japan's contribution to relief and rescue of Asian countries that faced the catastrophic economic and financial plight in late 1990's are a kind of colonists who do not love Asians but are still trying to exploit Asia and holding Asians in derision, since they cannot even respect and admire Japan.

(They like China, since there are no problems for them about China, specifically, as to respecting or admiring.)

In this context, even English Wikipedia is not sound.

"Another longer-term result was the changing relationship between the U.S. and Japan, with the U.S. no longer openly supporting the highly artificial trade environment and exchange rates that governed economic relations between the two countries for almost five decades after World War II. "
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1997_Asian_Financial_Crisis

As it writes such a way without understanding the truth of the Plaza Accord in 1985, the writer shows that he/she doesn't understand it was Japan that supported the U.S. through adjustment of the Yen/Dollar exchange rate, while Japan helped Asian countries in the crisis in terms of not only money supply but also restructuring their economic and social structure to cope with another attack from US and UK financial mafias.

You had better translate and read the Japanese version of Wikipedia on the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis:

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%A2%E3%82%B8%E3%82%A2%E9%80%9A%E8%B2%A8%E5%8D%B1%E6%A9%9F

Anyway, Snoopy should shoot down such economists in the sky of the Indochina Peninsula.


SECTION 3: John Maynard Keynes

What is the difference between spending on "measures to deal with unemployment" and "implementation of public-works projects" when a nation is in recession or depression?

Keynes said that there is a big difference in a multiplier effect (which is not Keynes' original idea), so that a government should spend the budget for public-works projects instead of direct financial support for the unemployed.

But, Mr. Yoshiyasu Ono, Osaka University, clearly argued that the Keynes' claim based on the multiplier effect of public-works projects is immature and misleading, which I agree on.

( http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4480064001?ie=UTF8&linkCode=as2&tag=blogsofdankog-22 )

The issue is that what matters is not the quantity of the public-works budget but the quality and contents of public works, since effectiveness of the multiplier effect depends on the quality and contents.

But, to check or plan effective public works of high quality requires hard work of officials and politicians as well as businesses all concerned.

Keynes said that if the public work was just digging holes not for any purposes, the budget should be used for the work, since it would have the multiplier effect on the whole economy of the nation.

Keynes does not seem to have loved poor people; he also looks like having held poor people in derision, since an increase in the amount of circulated money without improvement of the society in terms of quality is just making some more people richer while making some more people poorer.

(That may be rather called "anti-Christ.")

We need economists who can do away with Keynes like a new artist who can do away with Leonardo da Vinci. In other words, we need another Snoopy the hero in every field.

Snoopy should shoot down such economists in the sky over the Ministry of Finance.
* * *

Of course, the sin of economy is in interest.

If you lend something or some money to somebody, you must not claim it back, as Jesus Christ has ordered so.

Anyway, giving is happier than receiving. This must be a basic principle of a new theory of economy.



(See you, soon, high in the aerial domain or on the territorial sea, since our men are so trained with EEE Report.

SECTION 1: Toyota

New York Times reported on rivalry between Toyota and GM around plug-in hybrid cars:

"...Nonetheless, G.M., Toyota and Ford Motor, the world’s three biggest car companies, all are developing plug-in hybrid vehicles.

... Toyota has sold more than one million hybrids worldwide, including more than 800,000 Prius cars.

... Each charge, which takes about four hours, uses the equivalent of 2.7 kilowatt hours of electricity, said Jaycie Chitwood, a senior strategic planner in Toyota’s advanced technologies group.

... But it cannot go very far: the plug-in hybrid’s two batteries hold enough power for only seven miles, said Saúl Ibarra, a product specialist with Toyota who worked on developing the Prius.

By contrast, G.M. claims that the Volt will be able to hold a charge equal to 40 miles, after a six-hour charge.

... The plug-in Prius can stay in electric mode until 62 miles per hour, versus around 30 miles per hour for the conventional Prius, Mr. Iba- rra said...."
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/14/business/14plug.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

Toyota is just a car manufacturer. A sort of commodity maker. Besides, cars are killing tens of thousands of people on roads and streets in Japan, the U.S., and other countries every year. Cars are causing environmental pollution and global warming.

I am sorry to say that I have never respected car makers very much.

When I was young, they said that the best students would find employment in the electric/electronic industry, including a computer division, the building industry, or heavy industries, but not so much in car manufactures.

So, it is no wonder that Sony and Panasonic (or Matsushita) have succeeded so much globally; but it is a big surprise that Japanese workers in plants, who have no university diploma, have made Toyota the leading company in Japan and the U.S.

Yet, I have to say that Toyota should still more than ever focus on road fatalities, environmental pollution and global warming as well as dignity of workers without a university diploma.

http://www.tmpcwa.org/index_html

In addition, Toyota should make the Philippines rich as the company have earned so much money in the U.S.


SECTION 2: A US Politician against War-Based Foreign Policy

"...It has been proven time and time again that troop surges don't work. The fruitless war in Afghanistan is not being won militarily.

Under our watch corruption and chaos in Afghanistan has developed and flourished. As the United States seeks to abate terrorism we must also learn from the consequences of a war-based foreign policy."

This is not a statement issued by a Japanese liberal critic or a Japanese politician of the Opposition.

Mr. Dennis Kucinich, a Representative of the U.S., wrote so.
http://blog.thehill.com/

The point of issue is that the U.S. President is requested always to look strong.

So, when attacked physically or personally, he would send troops; when lost in election, he would send troops; and when abused or laughed at by the media, he would send troops.

It is mainly to fulfill the need for the US President to look always strong, in my personal view.


SECTION 3: Three Dog Night

Now the FEN radio has played a 1971 song, "Joy to the World," by Three-Dog Night.

It goes:
"Jeremiah was a bullfrog
he was a good friend of mine
never understand a single word he said...

If I were the king of the world
i tell you what i do
i throw away the cars and the bars and the wars..."

It also sings: "joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea!"

In 1971, everybody heard the Three-Dog Night, the bullfrog, and fishes in the deep blue sea, even in Texas.
* * *

If you had been told in 1971 that Toyota would build its factory in the Soviet Union some of these days, you might have thought that the U.S. military would at last invade North Vietnam, China, and the USSR to occupy the nations and convert their societies to democratic ones based on capitalist market economy.

And you might have wondered how many missiles with a nuclear warhead would be used.

The fact is that the U.S. lost the war in Vietnam due to their poor definition of the war; China was hugely supported financially and technically by Japan so as to produce and export toys and other commodities to the U.S. through Wal-Mart Stores or so on; and Russians have survived the cold war, the debacle of the social and economic systems, and the great confusions on introducing new economy just to succeed in developing its oil and gas fields.

Now, in Russia and the U.S., you can drive a Japanese car alike.

In near future, in Iraq and Afghanistan, they will be probably able to drive Japanese cars alike without fuels made of oil.

What I want to say may be that the US military does not have to invade and stay in Iraq and Afghanistan just like the case in Vietnam, China, and the USSR decades ago.



(Indeed, cars, gasoline, wars, politics, and business are all so tough and still going to last long since the godless century of the 20th.

Truly, it is said in Japan that a wife and a tatami mat should be tough and last long.

Maybe, you are going to be a star if you can drive my car, since it may have a good license plate number, such as "MM-MM" with M supposed to be the number above infinity, namely where your life belonged before its birth through the "M - n" rule.)

Bread and a Fish or a Stone and a Serpent

Bread and a Fish or a Stone and a Serpent

(Pain et un poisson ou une pierre et un serpent)



Mat 7:9
Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

Mat 7:10
Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

Mat 7:11
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Mat 7:12
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.


So then, I suppose if a ratio of kind people among the whole population in a nation gets less than 10%, the nation would face any tragedy.

And, if you are kind to other people, you cannot get rich in this material world.

It is said that the number of American households that have one million dollars or more assets increased twice between 1995 and 2004, reaching and exceeding nine million.

Such households, namely nine million rich families, account for almost 10% of all the American households.

Now, you know that the U.S. has a possibility to have kind persons that account 90% of all the population.

For example, in Japan, the ratio of such households is said to be 4%; and thus the possibility is about 96%.

Indeed, we have to live on bread and fish.

Truly, we should not live on money and weapons.



(By the way, which do you like bread or rice, since white bread is so rare but white rice is so common?

And, we have even red rice from ancient days.)

Japan's Defense Minister Ordered the Navy Friday to Return to the Indian Ocean - New York Times -

Japan's Defense Minister Ordered the Navy Friday to Return to the Indian Ocean - New York Times -


(Le ministre de la Défense du Japon Commandé vendredi à la marine Retour à l'océan Indien - New York Times --)



New York Times Online posted the news from Tokyo, telling that Prime Minister Mr. Yasuo Fukuda has successfully fulfilled his critical mission to have a bill to send Maritime-Self-Defense-Forces ships to the Indian Ocean passed in the Japanese Parliament despite strong opposition from the Opposition.

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/world/AP-Japan-Anti-Terrorism.html?_r=2&hp&oref=slogin&oref=slogin

New York Times did very appropriate coverage, for this issue has been the most argued political agenda since the last summer when the Opposition took control over the Upper House of the Japanese Parliament called Diet.

As the Opposition launched a sort of warped strategy to obstacle the passage for reconfirming the bill that allows Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Forces to partially join the US operation in the area, former Prime Minister Mr. Shinzo Abe got into a painful situation.

The situation also got aggravated by various incidents, such as a conflict between then female Defense Minister Ms. Yuriko Koike and then vice minister Mr. Moriya.

Also, as liberal critics and pundits, leveraging the situation, intensified their attack on Mr. Shinzo Abe, he approached the limits in maintaining his physical, mental, social, and political balance while performing his duty, and eventually resigned so abruptly, which might have however caused more confusions and troubles, domestically and internationally, unless he candidly expressed his limits to his aids and political allies.

So, the issue on dispatching the support fleet to the Indian Ocean became the most critical one for the new Prime Minister, Mr. Yasuo Fukuda, who has to rely on a special article of the Constitution that gives superiority to the Lower House when a bill is rejected in the Upper House as long as the former can pass the bill with more than two-thirds-majority votes.

Article 59.
A bill becomes a law on passage by both Houses, except as otherwise provided by the Constitution.

A bill which is passed by the House of Representatives, and upon which the House of Councillors makes a decision different from that of the House of Representatives, becomes a law when passed a second time by the House of Representatives by a majority of two-thirds or more of the members present...
* * *

Accordingly, the Oppositions, critics and the media in Japan are arguing propriety of politically and strategically resorting to Article 59 of the Japanese Constitution, since such application of the law is first since one single unique case in 1951.

This provision of the Constitution belongs to the paradigm of WWII.

Adolf Hitler got hegemony of Germany through election and a relative majority in Parliament.

Though US officials working under General MacArthur in Tokyo after WWII thought democratic Japan needed only a one-chamber system in the Diet, Japanese politicians held fast with the adoption of the two-chamber system, since the Empire of Japan had a two-chamber system consisting of the House of Representatives and the House of Lords (there was the noble class around the Imperial family in Japan before WWII).

The US officials working under General MacArthur thought so because Japan is a single-race country.

But, the Japanese are not a mass of simple minded people. Japanese society is as complicated as the U.S. Japan needs a two-chamber system.

But, the basic idea, the framework of ideas, or the paradigm that occupied the minds of people involved in developing the new Japanese Constitution after WWII was influenced, of course, by incidents that had led to WWII or more specifically the rise of Hitler.

Conversely, if there is a three-year period until the next election for the Upper House members after the Lower House has been usurped by a kind of Nazis, the Upper House might be able to deter the progress of Nazis toward the unchecked exercise of power unless they have a two-thirds majority in the Lower House which even real Nazis could not achieve though in 1933 Hitler took to himself the legislative power from the national assembly of Germany.

Although it is impossible in Japan that a kind of Hitler would usurp power through election as the Japanese are not a mass of simple minded people, it is far better to have a two-party system no matter how costly it looks, taking into consideration possible disaster a Nazi-type political party would bring about on the people.

The Liberal Democratic Party of Japan is not a Nazi, and the War on Terror is not a WWII-type of wars; yet the constitutional system of Japan must function to prevent any security threat to Japan, such as new Nazis and a new World War.

Then, the issue is whether the current Japan's Constitution is effective or not in the paradigm of this era with new economy (symbolized by former Prime Minister Mr. Jyunichiro Koizumi) and new conservatism (symbolized by former Prime Minister Mr. Shinzo Abe), while the Constitution is essentially based on Christian ideal the U.S. introduced into Japan after WWII with a notion that European Christianity was insufficient.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Party
* * *

As for the War on Terror and Japan's involvement in the War, I am very doubtful if it can be won under the leadership of the U.S.

One of the reasons is that there is no respectable and reasonable definition of the War and the last state of the victory if we win.

In addition, if the U.S. acts out of line or over the edge, Japan has to defend Asians and Muslims from mad violence of the U.S.

(It is already said that the US invasion of Iraq caused directly or indirectly one million death of Iraqi citizens including innocent house wives, children, infants, elders, and hard working honest Muslims.）

To send a signal to both the sides of the US/UK coalition and poor Muslims/Asians, I thought that Japan must call back its Self-Defense-Forces fleet from the Indian Ocean back to its home port in Japan at least once.

And, it was so done with a mercy of High God.
* * *

You have to also remember that this issue of cooperation with the U.S. Navy in the Indian Ocean is linked with Japan's another cooperation with the U.S. in terms of Japan's national security against North Korea, China, and Russia, all of which are armed with nuclear weapons and have no peace treaty, except China who often abuses anti-Japanese emotion among some of its people, with Japan so far as now.

Among them, the poorest and the most tragic nation, North Korea still refuses to release Japanese citizens abducted by their agency and have them return to Japan in safety.

Until 100 or so Japanese abductees, namely victims of the cold war in the Korean Peninsula, come back to Japan, the Japanese Government is requested to continue to pressure North Korea into giving up their espionage-centric strategy against Japan.

Especially, as former Prime Minister Mr. Shinzo Abe had gained in big popularity through his stance on this North Korea-related issue, the simple logistical support for US and Pakistan Navies weighed so much on him and the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan.
* * *

So, the key words are (1) Japanese abductees by North Korea; (2) the example of Nazi's rise to power before WWII; (3) the Japanese basically Christian Constitution drafted under General MacArthur's control after WWII; (4) the poorly defined US War on Terror; and (5) Japan's mission to protect poor Asians and Muslims.

Indeed, the global politics is like riding on a bicycle, as President Mr. George Bush reportedly once or twice fell to the ground when pedaling along in his Texas ranch.

Truly, anybody can continue to run on a bicycle easily; but safely halting on a bicycle standing still for one or two minutes is very difficult, even if it is just for the purpose of sending a warning signal to your friend pedaling under the heavy escort against any attempts to make him fall.

New Divine Trinity: Omnipotence, Completeness, and Incompleteness

(You may still not believe that this Shinto shrine received two million pilgrims between January 1 and 3; but the Meiji Shrine in Tokyo received three million during the same holy period, since about 30 million people live in and around the Kanto Plain.)



New Divine Trinity: Omnipotence, Completeness, and Incompleteness

(Nouvelle Divine Trinité: omnipotence, Complétude et incomplet)



If you learn the depth and degree of integrity and completeness of Buddhism in terms of life, death, existence, and causality of human beings and spirits, you must naturally think that Christians 1,300 years ago made a big mistake or committed an unforgivable blasphemy against God, so that Islam was endowed to mankind.

(But, every poor and humble believer in Jesus and God in Europe, then and after, must not have been blamed and negatively influenced, while Popes, Cardinals, and archbishops were acting like a genius in religion but not faith.)

So, I like to put an end to this mystery of the emergence of Islam that denies Deity or Godhood of Jesus, since I am here in Japan in the era that all the Buddhism-influenced countries, such as Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, and India, are making significant progress, no matter if it is in the material world.

(Indeed those Buddhism-learnt countries have today accumulated total US$ 3,161 billion foreign reserves that can destroy the US dollar system which some Israelite Americans are afraid of and very much afraid of.
[See the EEE Report on January 7, 2008.])


SECTION 1: Power of Buddhism and Greek Philosophy

One of the most critical issues since the seventh century, when Islam was endowed to a certain humble but lucky Arab by an Angel in the Arabian Peninsula, is the relationship between Christianity and Islam.

This issue can be only dealt with by Japanese, since no other races have ever mastered Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Greece Philosophy, and so on, in addition to the three religions directly linked with the relationship between Abraham and Yahweh.

I truly tell you, Americans, Europeans, Israelites, and Muslims, you might not understand the truth of your religion, namely, Christianity, Judaism, or Islam, until you master Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Greece Philosophy, and so on like Japanese have done as a whole race, though you can enjoy blessing each religion gives you as long as you are humble enough, since the God Almighty allowed for Buddhism and so on, too, with profound intention.

Indeed, you cannot, most probably, even imagine how the Bible and the Koran look like to the eye of those who mastered, for example, Buddhism.

Truly, you must know how difficult it is for ancient Christians to cope with philosophers in Greece who had developed very unique idea on the world based on words, too, though their philosophy is accompanied by a certain effect called the Pandora's Box.


SECTION 2: JESUS PREDICTED EMERGENCE OF ISLAM

My belief is that Jesus must have foretold the fate of Christianity before or while he was predicting the end of the world.

Luk 5:33 And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?

Luk 5:34 And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

Luk 5:35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.

Luk 5:36 And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.

Luk 5:37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.

Luk 5:38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.

Luk 5:39 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.

The key paragraph is the following:
Luk 5:35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.

The "bridegroom" is Jesus as the Son of God.

The expression "shall be taken away" means a new religion that denies the belief that Jesus as the Son of God will emerge.

The expression "they fast in those days" indicates the style of the new religion which happened to be Islam.

But, why? Why must it be taken away? Why should the glory of European Christianity be tarnished by God's approval of Islam that is based on the assertion that Jesus is not the Son of God?


SECTION 3: The Doctrine of the Holy Trinity: Unforgivable Blasphemy

Heritage of the Greek Civilization allowed for the higher level of material success of the Roman Empire, since the Empire respected and adopted the Greek heritage.

Heritage of the Greek Civilization and the Roman Empire in combination with Christianity allowed for higher level of material success of modern Europe, since Europeans as a whole did not abandon the faith in Jesus Christ though they had made so many wars against the will of Jesus Christ.

But, the Greek philosophy as a Pandora's Box influenced fatally Christianity before the emergence of Islam.

That is why Christians of the era started to argue the doctrine of holy trinity based on human wisdom and logic while relying on human immature interpretation of holy concepts.

Whatever its contents and details were, it is apparent that such argument displeased God.

So, as Jesus Christ himself had told beforehand, a new religion in which Jesus himself was regarded as a mere prophet or a mere human being was endowed to Arabs through an Angel.

It is just like a new number is created in the number space under infinity through interference of the number space above infinity which has full of subsets of religions.
[Refer to the EEE Report on January 10, 2008.]

Before the seventh century, Popes, Cardinals, and archbishops in Europe had insulted Jesus Christ enough to be judged that they had to face another strong religion where Jesus himself was regarded as a mere prophet or a mere human being, since their indecorum in their argument was tantamount to letting Jesus Christ and God down.

Popes, Cardinals, and archbishops in Europe in that era argued as if they had been a genius in religion so as to decide and define the state and the degree of glory of Jesus.

What is worse, even today, Popes, Cardinals, and archbishops in Europe have not been righteously and candidly aware of the irreverence their Church had done to Jesus Christ 1,300 years ago through the argument for the so called Trinity in Unity.

(One proof of their blasphemy is that 6 million Israelite Europeans were killed in the land with full of Christian churches adopting the trinity theory in WWII.)

That is why the God or Allah had prepared huge crude oil reserves in the land of Arabs in addition to Islam.

It is all to force repentance on Europeans, especially, their Popes, Cardinals, and archbishops, which is however yet to be fulfilled while a chance of a Religious Revolution in America is getting intensified.



SECTION 4: Christians in Pakistan Writing about Trinity in Unity

Refer to http://www.pakistanchristianpost.com/newsdetails.php?newsid=585、for example.

...Puzzled, the Muslim asked, "What do you possess that we do not have?"

The elder answered, "Allah is my father, he knows me, cares for me and loves me. Christ is the Lamb of God, which carried away all my sins and has reconciled me with God. I will not be condemned and shall not go to hell because he has made me righteous before God. The Spirit of God dwells in me since Christ has purified my sinful heart. I can talk with my heavenly Father in my prayer and give him thanks for the eternal life which he granted me. I will not die, but I will live forever and rise from the dead as my Lord rose from the dead" (John 11:25-26).

The Muslim went away deep in thought because the elder had witnessed to him with simple words the reality of the unity of the Holy Trinity in his life...
* * *

Now, you know how much I care about poor and humble Christians in Europe.

Then, you know why Islam cannot be threat to their faith.

Finally, you might concede that God has given Buddhism to mankind from the holy space above the infinity to the human world below the infinity which symbolizes the level human thoughts and genius cannot reach forever if working so hard at the speed of light.

As for Shintoism, all you need in arguing is Japanese nationality if your ancestors are being respected so much as a god in a Shinto shrine.




(In my humble thought, God is God; a man is a man.

If God says that He is presently a man, we have to believe that He is a man presently without doubt.

So, true divine trinity should consist of Omnipotence, Completeness, and Incompleteness as I once wrote in this EEE Reporter series, for you.

If God becomes a man, it is not a miracle.

But, if a man is chosen to be a follower of the Son of God, indeed it is a miracle.

Having heard all these, Mesdemoiselles, do you think I am part of a miracle happening to you, since I have truly argued this trinity-in-unity thing?)


"CHANGED LIVES"

The Number Larger Than Infinity Defined

(In every New Year Holiday season, two million Japanese make a pilgrimage to this shinto shrine just north of Tokyo, actually in the first three days of the year)




The Number Larger Than Infinity Defined
(Le nombre plus grand que l'infini n'est défini)


According to Einstein's Relativity Theory, if the speed of a moving object approaches the light speed, the distance or the space in front of the object gets shorter or smaller.

In my Relativity Theory of Numbers and Human Cognition, if a man thinks about Infinity, he must think at the light speed to comprehend as it is so infinite.

Yet, in most cases, the practice and trial would result in the diminution of his thinking ability and the halt of thinking eventually, and thus being included in the domain of "Zero" instead of the domain of "Infinity."

It means you have to rely on belief and faith when you think about a thing close to the domain of God, otherwise your thought will diminish to nothing and halt eventually, even if it does not fall into abnormality or madness.


SECTION 1: WE GOT ZERO

Mankind uses the decimal system (base 10), since a man has ten fingers on both the hands, usually.

But, of course, it can be a base-5 system, since we have 5 fingers on each hand.

(In this case, 5, 25 [= 5 x 5], 125 [= 5 x 5 x 5] and even 275 [= 5 x 55] might be regarded as significant numbers like 360, which means December 25, for Sumerians.)

It took a long time until mankind started to use the numeric symbol and the concept of zero.

In Greece and Rome, they essentially expressed 10 as X and 11 as XI.

In China and Japan, we essentially express 10 as "Jyu," with a kanji letter meaning 10, and 11 as "Jyu" "Ichi" with two kanji letters meaning 10 and 1, thus avoiding the use of "Zero" which has of course a kanji expression.

It is still a mystery why ancient Indians could invent the numeric symbol and the concept of zero. Probably, they loved calculation more than anybody.

Or, they might find it in their competition against Sumerians living in ancient Mesopotamia.
(Refer to the EEE Report on July 7, 2005.)


SECTION 2: INFINITY

If you learn how to count from one to five and then five to ten using fingers, you would not easily get the notion of infinity.

But, when you look up at the sky in the night and start to count the number of stars up there, you may be able to start a journey to infinity.

Indeed, the infinity is not a usual number but a target and a concept.

From infinity, any large number a man can imagine looks not so different from zero.

There is an infinite gap between any number a man can imagine and infinity.

Therefore, any large number a man can conceive looks like "a kind of 0," though "not exactly 0," if observed from infinity.

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


(With only two elements in this world, you can create any larger number by combining results of calculation using these two elements.

The total number of combinations of all the atoms and elementary particles in the material universe is actually the real meaningful largest number for mankind.

For, example, "a" and "b" are only two as a number of cases; but "aa," "ab," "ba," and "bb" are four; "aaa," "aab,".... can be larger, especially if "a" and "b" can move and shift in each position at the speed of light or faster.

In addition, if you take the time axis into consideration, the multiplied number will be further larger in this universe.)



SECTION 3: The Largest Number the God Created for our Universe

In science, it is proved that there is no such number that can be called "the largest number in this world."

It is because if there is such a number, say, expressed with "M," we can imagine the number "M" + 1 which is apparently larger than "M." Then, "M" cannot be the largest number in the world, since there can be "M + 1."

Yet, in faith, we can introduce the largest number "M."

We assume the following, since "M" is the largest number:
"M" + 1 = "M" or
"M" + "n" = "M" ("n" can be any number)

Or, rather, this is the definition of the largest number in the world or our universe.

The definition also implies that any number a man can conceive, such as 1 or 100, is exactly "0" when directly compared with "M."

We also assume that "M" is larger than infinity, since infinity is introduced so as to make 1, 100, and so on to be real as those numbers are no more compared with "M" but with infinity that at least accepts reality of those small numbers.

Rather, we believe that the God created "M" first and then other numbers in the way:
"n" = "M" - "(M - n)."

For example, 100 = M - (M - 100).

Even, Infinity = M - (M - Infinity).
(Please click on the image to enlarge it.)

SECTION 4: Two Domains

If you approach to Infinity from 0, 1, 2..., you cannot reach it.

Or, that you cannot reach Infinity while making a number larger is a definition of Infinity.

But, observed from Infinity, any number is not so different as zero, since there is an infinite gap between Infinity and any large number a man can imagine.

If you approach to the kingdom of God from a human way of living, you cannot reach it.

But, observed from "M," Infinity is not so different as zero, since there is an infinite gap between "M" and the number or the concept of Infinity.

But, if you believe the existence of "M," any number can be provided or generated by following the equation:
"n" = "M" - "(M - n)"

ex. 1 = M - (M - 1), 2 = M - (M - 2), etc.

Also, if you increase the value of a number, you cannot reach infinity in the direction from bottom up, just like any efforts based on human wisdom without faith cannot reach the kingdom of God.

Conversely, if you believe the existence of the kingdom of God (M), any human matter (n) can be provided following the equation "n = M - (M - n)."

Indeed, above the domain of the human numbers and Infinity, there is the domain of the largest number in the world "M" and its subset "M - n."

Truly, above the human world, there is the kingdom of God and its subset that can accommodate you.



(In a certain city in Italy, as televised in Japan, they have stopped collecting and picking up garbage and trash on the street due to some physical, administrative, and criminal or Mafia problems.

The garbage identified on a street with your eyes can be disposed anyhow, if you introduce reasonable discipline and effective systems.

But, the garbage of numbers accumulated in books or hard disks of computers may be hard to deal with.

The most advanced civilization might be the one with the least garbage of numbers or the most powerful concept of numbers, as with the most sophisticated love in terms of, say, a bank account.

In any way, folks, it is not easy to master languages and mathematics at the same time in the short period of one's life.)



"WARNINGS AGAINST IDLES"

(Ein warnendes Beispiel)




　　

ESTHER

(The Year of the Rat, 2008, according to the ancient Chinese tradition so adopted in Japanese Shinto shrines)



ESTHER

(Esther, la reine)



SECTION 1: MEGILLAT ESTHER

Queen Esther was trying hard to prevent the first possible annihilation of the tribe Israelites, not in the 20th century but in the 5th century B.C., by appealing to her Persian King Achashverosh against plots machinated by the dignitary Haman.

According to "MEGILLAT ESTHER; SHE'ASAH NISSIM LA'AVOTEINU by Yitzchak Etshalom":

A) THE SECOND PARTY (7:1-9)
This is the denoument of the story as far as we are concerned. Haman still doesn't know who Esther is - but he is clearly shattered and his ego is as fragile as ever. Achashverosh is equally disturbed and must be getting more confused by Esther's repeated parties without asking for what she really wants (it is clear that the king knows she wants something more - which is why he keeps asking her).

Now, she pulls out all the cards. The king thinks that she and Haman are hatching a plot against him (and have been having an affair?) - and suddenly Haman is revealed as the villian who is plotting against her. Haman thinks that he is still on the road to satisfaction in the matter of the Jews; he'll just need to wait until Adar. He has no idea that Esther is one of "them".

Esther points to Haman and all is lost. The confusion and anger of the king, the confusion and fear of Haman - create an emotional jumble which ultimately leads to the king's explosion when he finds Haman lying on Esther's divan, begging for mercy. Haman is erased and (here we go again) Mordechai takes his place (compare 8:2 with 3:10). The capricious king has (for the meantime) elevated the Jews and they are saved. We all know, however, that the happy ending of the story isn't permanent and that the rocky shores of existence in exile (which is probably one of the sub-messages of the Megillah) are not safe for Jews.
http://www.vbm-torah.org/purim/pur-es.htm


SECTION 2: King James Version of Esther, the Queen

Esther said to her King who has discretion over her life, "Let my life be given me at my petition."

Est 7:1 So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.

Est 7:2 And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.

Est 7:3 Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:

Est 7:4 For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.

Est 7:5 Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?

Est 7:6 And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.

Est 7:7 And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.

Est 7:8 Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.

Est 7:9 And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.

Est 7:10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.


The story of Esther is so dramatic, prominent, and moving, since a fate of a whole exiled tribe depends on a woman, one of them, who happens to be a queen to the king under whose rule the suppressed foreign tribe has been forced to live.

However, more importantly, the foreign tribe was Israelites and the king was one of ancient Persian kings.


SECTION 3: Israel and Iran

There are two special things common to Israelites and Iranians.

They are essentially races different from Arabs since their origin: Sumerians and Aryans.

They dealt with ancient Greeks in long history while Iranians failed to defeat Greeks by force and Israelites suffered intellectual superiority of the Greek Civilization, while today Iran is still a military factor and Israel has full of high-tech weapon systems.

It is time that Israel and Iran changed their view on history and the current situations so as to befriend each other for the peace of the Middle East, since Esther was the queen to Persian King.

Otherwise, they maybe lose their glory as the religious elite among mankind while a Religious Revolution may be coming, in the near term, in the U.S. or here and there.


SECTION 4: No More Development of Judaism Predicted

When Israelites returned to Palestine to build the second temple from captivity in Mesopotamia then ancient Iran newly occupied, they started to compile the so-called Old Testament under the reign of Persia between 538 B.C. and 333 B.C.

This development of (old) Judaism is, of course, to secure the "identity" of the tribe Israelites some of whom returned to Jerusalem but had to live on financial aid from others still living in Mesopotamia under the Persian rule.

Around 1st century A.D., When Israelites were also under the "identity" threat from the Roman Empire all over whose territory, however, many Israelites were making business to be rich, Jesus Christ appeared to save tradition of Israelites in a very mysterious way allowing for development of (new) Judaism, while saving all the mankind enabling development and deployment of the direct teaching of God which Europeans later, however, failed to expand beyond simply establishing a new religion called Christianity.

In the 20th century, when Israelite Europeans suffered an almost total annihilation plotted by German Nazis, they were saved by American Christians. After WWII, Israelites built the nation Israel and have continued to keep it with a help from American Christians and Judaists, since the current nation Israel gives tangible "identity" to Israelites living worldwide.

But, there seems no new development of Judaism in this era though the nation Israel has been rebuilt: No Newer Testament, No Newer Judaism, and No Messiah from Israelites.

That is why I am telling you that a 2000-Year Era is over just like a 4000-Year Era, when Israelites have been the true elite of religion so much as to be attacked by devils excessively, is over, for Israelites have shown no sign of further development of Judaism as such a holy elite among mankind.

Conversely, if Israelites today want another development of their religion, probably they have to give up the nation and the land of Israel (partly since no Germans came there to protect them or buy them the land and security as compensation, at which the God has not shown specific anger finally, while a German has become a Pope in the Vatican).

All of them have to immigrate to America, in that case, in my humble view.

Or, are there so many Esthers in the U.S. today, risking their lives for Israel?




(Indeed, it is a long story.

Yet, isn't it strange that we live in this era at the beginning of the 21st century, is it?

This is not 500 B.C., 50 A.D., or 1945.

It is as strange as you happen to view the EEE Report, taking whatever cue from an Angel or whomever the number of whom must be essentially very small, almost to the level that is regarded as the elite of some sort, for example, of religion.

Or can you see an Angel?)




"SHINING AS LIGHTS IN THE WORLD"

(Lichter in der Nacht)




　

Indeed Jesus Came with Words

Indeed Jesus Came with Words

(En effet, Jésus est venu avec des mots)


As the God created the world in seven days to the eye of Sumerians, the founders of the First Urban Civilization in Mesopotamia that allowed for inception of Greek Civilization eventually, they wrote so at the beginning of the Bible.

But, after the great and holy incident in Palestine that took place a few generations since the Era of Caesar and Cleopatra, followers of Jesus Christ modified the description on the Beginning for the first time in 2000 years since Abraham's departure of Mesopotamia (presently Iraq and Kuwait):

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.

Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Joh 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

Joh 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Joh 1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

Joh 1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

Joh 1:8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

Joh 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

Joh 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

Joh 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Joh 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
* * *

Now it is 2000 years since the editing of the Gospel. The most advanced Christians, namely Americans, are fighting in Iraq (Mesopotamia) in whatever context or cause of the material history and world.

Maybe we are at the beginning of a new era that will trigger a Religious Revolution in the U.S., since their soldiers are to leave Iraq, sooner or later, for their home land with some Muslims immigrating.

Maybe, in this age a few generations after WWII, a great leader might appear among those who come from Iraq (Mesopotamia) to the U.S. to contribute to a Religious Revolution in the U.S.

Truly all I can say to her is:
"I am your fan.
I like you to make your best."

Anyway, even the Japanese media are keeping eye on every step those candidates are making to the White House.)

SECTION 1: Nice Posting in "ECONOMY IN CRISIS"

I cannot help but feel like laughing when reading the following description (probably like a Japanese non-nonsense diplomat or economist does):

When we consider the stark contrast of our economy with that of Japan, it should make us aware that there is much room for improvement in our economic system. It should be a wake up call that unless we make major changes quickly, Japan’s economy may soon smother ours.

This may be hard to believe and come as a shock but just look at the comparative statistics and accomplishments of Japan versus America.

To put this in perspective, this is how America compares with a country as small as Japan:
- Land: Japan is a country with only 4% of our land mass (smaller than California) and is 90% mountainous and infertile.

- Resources: Japan has minimal natural resources - no oil, no coal, and no iron, just fish!

- Manufacturing: To manufacture a product, Japan must import all of its required resources. Even after this expense, they have an $88 billion per year balance of trade surplus with America alone (their exports versus imports with America) (2006, US Census Bureau) and also accumulate one-third of the world's savings (US News & World Report, March 19, 2001).

- Wages: Few Americans realize that Japanese hourly compensation costs in US dollars were nearly identical to that of US hourly compensation in 2005 according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

- Savings and Debt: The average Japanese family has a savings equivalent to $117,000 US Dollars (US News & World Report, March 19, 2001). American families average $85,000 in debt (USA Today, October 4, 2004).

- Income Through Trade: Japan had the world’s second highest current account surplus (net trade plus interest and other income) next to China in 2006 of $170 billion while the US current account deficit including goods, services, income, transfers was a staggering $857 billion loss, the world’s largest, according to the US Department of Commerce and the International Monetary Fund.

- Investment Income: Japan earned $118 billion on its foreign investments in 2006 and the US actually lost $7 billion according to the International Monetary Fund.

Japan must be doing something right! Better planning, direction, and a more responsive government are keys to their success. They have learned much from us and have improved on it. Perhaps it would be wise for us to study their improvements for our own benefit.

Ok, still Japanese Government should try hard to disseminate and diffuse correct information on Japan even into our allied country the United States of America.

The Publication Division of the Japan's Prime Minister's Office should also try hard.


SECTION 2: A Comment Posted by a Guest

There is one interesting comment to the above description or report posted on May, 2007.

guest says "Correction on world's largest current account surplus" on 05/27/07

"China had a current account surplus of $250 billion in 2006. So, Japan's current account surplus in 2006 was second to China's. Nevertheless, Japan supplies most of the capital equipment and sophisticated materials for China's advanced manufacturing industries."

As of October 2007, the ranking of countries in terms of foreign currency reserves is as follows:
Note that Japan has been extensively helping China, Taiwan, and Korea after WWII by providing financial, technical, and educational support.

Japan has heavily invested in China, Taiwan, and Korea to foster their industries, which is a big difference from the U.S. and European countries still living in the old paradigm of colonization the Roman Empire had devised 2000 years ago.


SECTION 3: From Monopolar World to Multipolar World

Anyway, some argue that the above fact indicates the end of the Era of American Unipolar Domination in the world.

In this context, voters and citizens in New Hampshire must choose their next President to be based on his or her ability to manage things peacefully in the new Era.


SECTION 4: Warning to Further Dollar Depreciation

One of the most popular Japanese blogs in the field of economy has recently claimed that Japanese Government should change its dollar-based asset to the yen-based asset to discharge its national debt.

(http://www.financial-j.net/blog/2007/12/000440.html#more )

Specifically, the blog writer posted an opinion to transfer 640 billion US dollars in Japan's exchange reserve to a budget account of 70 trillion yen, so that the Japanese Government can partially settle up its national debts.

I think it is reasonable to do so, though it will further lower the value of US dollars worldwide.

But, polarization itself is a policy the next US Administration to start in 2009 should take.

Indeed, it means the end of unipolar dominance of the US Dollar, which has created 30 million potentially starving citizens in the U.S.

Truly, Japan and the United Sates should start sincere negotiations on this issue, since all the experts in China, Taiwan, and Korea know how much they owe to Japan in these decades, just like Asians in general and Muslims know how much they owe to Japan since the Japanese-Russo War in 1904.


(How many families of US soldiers sent to Iraq and Afghanistan are waiting for letters from their sons, daughters, or spouses so anxiously, since about 900 soldiers died in 2007 in those war areas, resulting in total 3909 US casualties?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:DoD_PERSONNEL_%26_PROCUREMENT_STATISTICS_-_Personnel_%26_Procurement_Reports_and_Data_Files_-_GLOBAL_WAR_ON_TERRORISM_-_OPERATION_IRAQI_FREEDOM_by_month_March_19%2C_2003_through_September_1%2C_2007_-_killed_in_action%2C_died_of_wounds%2C_accidents.jpg

But, is the number still simply compared with yearly deaths in traffic accidents in the U.S.?

The next US President to be should declare that 4000 deaths of soldiers are different from 4000 deaths on roads, streets, or bridges in the U.S., since patriotic families are waiting for a letter from a soldier so patiently.)

"Money Can't Buy Me Love!"

"Money Can't Buy Me Love!"

(L'argent ne peut pas m'acheter l'amour)


US Representative Ms. Barbara Lee wrote on January 3, 2008:
"...This Bush-Saudi arms deal is expected to eventually total $20 billion, but what will be the human cost? I intend to work closely with my colleagues in Congress to block these arms sales."

http://blog.thehill.com/

Indeed, this episode symbolizes the international situation where the U.S. is a real and the most decisive factor.

Truly, the U.S. leaders should have taken into consideration any risks, such as terror, in their engagement in the world with overflowing dollars, oil being depleted, extravagant arms sales, so competitive international trade and commerce, as well as territorial and religious conflicts in these decades.

However, is the next US president yet to be chosen ready enough to address it for American tax payers, consumers, voters, and poor citizens, in addition to global citizens?

The next US President to be should ponder over the following chart, if possible at all.
In my humble view, Christians (the US), Muslims (Saudi Arabia), and Judaists (Israel) are already in a covert alliance against those who threaten them and their dollars which have been being printed out in a US bank for payment to Japan in these decades.

But, the God or Allah is always on the side of poor and pious citizens, in my humble view.



(Once I saw one of former Japanese prime ministers saying to a female TV news caster that somebody must inevitably become unhappy in this society and thus conservatives should not befriend those who were helping such unhappy people for their own political cause and aims.

When I see the current global situations and the US Presidential Primary, such a deplorable Japanese politician, alive or dead, looks like a very honest man, good or bad.

How would you respond, honestly honey, if so demanded by someone in power not to befriend a poor American or some such, since you may not need diamond but something money cannot buy?)
